CICO (can't intubate – can't oxygenate) is rare, especially given our teams' extraordinary prowess in laryngoscopy and our excellent supraglottic rescue airways, but it still occurs. CICO is real. The HEMS / CCTM literature from the last 20 years suggests that our teams will encounter a CICO situation on 0.7% - 2.4% of transport missions for which airway management by the CCTM team is required. If you haven't yet encountered it, you very likely will at some point in your career. When that day comes, your patient is depending on you to know how to handle it decisively and skillfully. Therefore, it's incumbent upon each of us to practice cricothyrotomy as often as possible, both physically and (especially) mentally.
Crics by CCTM crews are usually successful, in terms of getting plastic in trachea (94-100% published success rates). However, my personal experience has shown me that when CICO does occur, we hesitate. We're reluctant to admit the truth, that CICO has occurred, and we hesitate to move to the cric. Perhaps the term failed airway contributes to this hesitation. We've got to realize: a "failed airway" is not a failure. Some will happen to all of us. A failed airway is a diagnosis, not an accusation. So when it occurs, despite perfect BMV technique and/or supraglottic ventilation, we need to declare it. Share your mental model. CICO—say it loud!
This procedure will be blind. Don't kid yourself otherwise. When you visualize it mentally, don't rehearse with the bloodless field you may have encountered in procedure labs. There will be blood. Lots of it. That's OK. We have Combat Gauze.
The vocal cords live behind the thyroid cartilage (the one with the laryngeal prominence). The entire procedure is done below them.
Ergonomics are huge. If you're right-handed, stand by the patient's right when cric-ing. If you're left-handed, stand by the patient's left. Your non-dominant hand perfectly controls the thyroid cartilage, guarding against movement, throughout the procedure.Your amped-up dominant hand rests on the patient's sternum as you cut, enabling you to maintain fine motor control.
None of us will ever get to physically practice this procedure enough, no matter how much we supplement our clinical practice with skills training in the sim lab or the cadaver lab. So we have to practice it mentally. My ritual during my commute to each and every shift involves visualizing every step, every detail, of successfully performing a cric. I've physically practiced the procedure about 100 times in my career. Mentally, I've done it at least 2000 times.
The second-most challenging part of this procedure, other than making the initial decision to cut, is actually passing the ETT or trach tube through the hole you've made in the cricothyroid membrane. If you don't do it correctly, losing the hole entirely, or creating a false passage, is all too easy. Therefore, once you've cut to air-- once the tip of your scalpel is in the lumen of the trachea—refuse to relinquish control of that tracheal lumen. Keep something in that lumen at all times until you're looking at nice, square capnographic boxes confirming you've succeeded. And, to do this procedure in 2015 without a bougie or a bougie-like introducer (like you'll find on Dr. Levitan's Cric-Key device) to help you avoid false passage, in my opinion, takes hubris that your patient cannot afford for you to have. In a 2010 study of novice medical students and EM residents cric-ing sheep, the bougie-aided cric outperformed standard (bougie-less) technique in terms of speed (67 sec vs 149 sec), ease (2 vs 3 on a 1-5 scale), and failure rates (10% vs 27%). With regard to the commercial percutaneous Seldinger-technique cric kits that are out there: many involve placement of uncuffed tracheal tubes that cannot deliver adequate tidal volumes, and even those that do cannot equal surgical Bougie-aided cric in terms of speed, ease, or success rates.
Step-by-step procedural cric videos are available here.

The song "Old Folks At Home" over the years has become better known by the lyrics of its first line (Way Down Upon The) Swanee River. The composer Stephen Foster (also known for songs such as "Oh! Suzanna" & "Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair") struggled to find the perfect river to fit his melody, until his brother suggested the "Suwannee" river in Southern Georgia/Northern Florida, although, Foster misspelled the name intentionally to fit the melody line. The song has been the official state song of Florida since 1935. This rousing arrangement by Alan Beaumont will take your audience on a foot tapping, lighthearted journey. With the melody featured in a variety of different styles, the comedy sounds of duck calls, car horns, sirens & other surprises will keep the audience (& players) on their toes. A wonderful addition to any bands library, not to be missed.
The official authorized brass band arrangement one of the Official Theme of the 1992 Barcelona Games. The title translates as 'Friends for Life' and has been expertly arranged by Peter Graham.
John Iveson's original 1981 arrangement featured James Watson and Paul Archibald on solo trumpets, jealously competing for superiority under the watchful eye of the PJBE. This arrangement for brass band is John Iveson's official version, which retains the flavour and excitement of the original. A real virtuoso show-piece for everyone.
This is John Iveson's official adaptation for brass band of his original 10-piece arrangement as performed by James Watson and the PJBE. A virtuoso vehicle for band and soloist alike.
A Concerto in Three Movements for Tenor Horn & Brass Band, Written for & Commissioned by Lowenna TaylorBestowal of a Century (2014) was commissioned by Lowenna Taylor, and funded through her Harry Mortimer Trust award which she was presented with at the 2013 British Open Championship following the completion of her studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music in Cardiff. The 15-minute work received its world premiere at the Cornwall Youth Brass Band Christmas concert in 2014 with solosit, Lowenna, working alongside the band under the baton of Les Neish.The 'Bestowal' refers to the presentation of the Royal Trophy by the then Prince of Wales to the famous West of England Bandsman's Festival in Bugle in 1913. Over the years it has been won by some of the greatest names in brass banding, including Black Dyke and Munn & Feltons - although more recently it has become a wonderful open festival that includes sections for local bands as well as visitors from all over the banding globe. 2014 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the presentation of the trophy, which is the only brass band trophy to have the official seal of royal patronage.The work, in three distinct sections, opens in a mysterious way, building progressively with interjections from the horn. The composer notes its as though one can imagine different part of the trophy being put together, piece by piece, until the trophy is complete and a climax is reached. Following this, a playful theme is presented which is developed throughout the first section and interacting between soloist and band.The second movement, in complete contrast, is a lyrical melody; heart-wrenching throughout, and sits well both as part of the concerto and also as a stand-alone solo item. The third movement is light-hearted and virtuosic, demonstrating the technical capabilities of the instrument with fast and virtuosic playing, and a cadenza towards the end of the work.
'This is the Moment' is a hit song from the musical 'Jekyll & Hyde' - a show loosely based on the novella 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. 'This is the Moment' is sung by Jekyll before he tests the transforming formula on himself in his laboratory. Famous covers of the song include that by The Moody Blues on their official compilation album for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
I Like It - Lionel Richie/Enrique Iglesias/Nadir Khayat/Armando P?rez) - arr. Mike Kilmartin - 2'00'' - BVT071 "I Like It" is a song performed by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias taken from his first bilingual studio album, Euphoria. It features guest vocals from American rapper Pitbull. Both artists co-wrote the song with RedOne, who produced it. It also interpolates Lionel Richie's 1983 single "All Night Long (All Night)" with vocals re-recorded by Richie himself. The song was also included on the official soundtrack to MTV reality series Jersey Shore. A version of the song without Pitbull is also found on the international version of Euphoria.
"Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a song written by Johnny Marks based on the 1939 story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer published by the Montgomery Ward Company. Gene Autry's recording hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts the week of Christmas 1949.The song was first sung by crooner Harry Brannon on New York City radio in early November 1949, before Gene Autry's recording hit No. 1 in the U.S. charts during Christmas 1949. Autry's version of the song also holds the distinction of being the only chart-topping hit to fall completely off the chart after reaching No. 1. The official date of its No. 1 status was for the week ending January 7, 1950, making it the first No. 1 song of the 1950s.

The wonderful power of human beings lies in their knowledge. Man realizes God by the power of Self-knowledge. For this reason, even gods are jealous of the human birth. They too wish to take human birth and attain liberation. Man, who is blessed with the precious human life, should be ever-watchful and make the most of every hour of his life. Knowing that time once lost cannot be regained, one should shun laziness and dullness and set himself to make his life worthier.
One must resolve not to eat much, or sleep long hours or wallow in pleasures and instead eat less and sleep less and abide by Baba's words of prudence and guidance.Even though we possess abundant wealth, we should do all our works on our own and never depend on others. However, if we pamper the body and accustom it to luxuries and pleasures, life becomes futile. But, the body should neither be neglected nor loved too much. We must just take as much care of the body as a horse-rider takes care of his horse till the destination is reached. We should ensure that the body is cared for as a befitting instrument for Self-liberation. Indeed, it is a great boon to beget human birth. And we are doubly fortunate to have the opportunity of getting self-liberated by serving and adoring the Feet of Sainath.

365 Days of Album Recommendations – Oct 2 (Special Tom Petty Edition)
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers – Damn The Torpedoes
From virtually as far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a lyricist. I was obsessed with song lyrics.
I remember a long car drive with my parents. I believe it was from Wichita, Kansas, to East Lansing, Michigan. Over 900 miles. I was in the back seat by myself, with a battery-powered one of these:
and a cassette copy of "Damn the Torpedoes," which had just been released.
I sat in the back of the car, and I played "Refugee" over and over and over. I'd play it forward a little bit, for just one line of the song, then I'd hit the rewind button to go back again. I wouldn't even hit stop first, even though I knew you were supposed to. The cassette would make that horrible backwards music sound every time, and it was horrible, but it helped me find the right spot to get back to. Then I'd play it forward again, writing furiously as the song played, trying to get the line down just exactly right:
We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it
I'd go line by line, battling with Petty's drawl, the layers of sound, his peculiar phrasing, trying to work out words that were new to me when placed in these orders and rhythms:
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you want to lay there and revel in your abandon
Revel in your abandon! I wasn't even in my teen years yet; I'd never heard words like that, sung like that, with meaning and import like that. The lyrics held mysteries within them, drama, pathos, stories I was still too young to understand, but could already feel. Like all great pop songs, what was implied or left unsaid was sometimes bigger than the actual words:
Who knows maybe you were kidnapped
Tied up taken away and held for ransom
This was dangerous poetry, and I was obsessed.
Over and over, mile after mile, line after line, page after page, I worked through that song, trying to get it just right. There was no internet back then. If the lyrics didn't come with the record, you were left to your own devices. That was fine by me. I wanted to learn it myself, directly.
Honey, it don't really matter to me
Everybody's had to fight to be free
Much later in life, I would hear the story of how Hunter S. Thompson retyped The Great Gatsby so he could understand and feel what it was like to write a book like that. I understood what he meant, and why he did it. I had written "Refugee" a thousand times.
Update: Tom Petty has passed on. Deep bows.
"Right now it seems real to you, but it's
One of those things you gotta feel to be true"

Q: Play 2.1.1 not loading custom Akka dispatcher I'm using Play 2.1.1 and in application.conf I add the following custom dispatcher:
# Dispatcher for round-robin actors
play {
    akka {
        actor {
            rr-dispatcher = {
                type = BalancingDispatcher
                executor = fork-join-executor
                fork-join-executor {
                    parallelism-min = 2
                    parallelism-factor = 2
                    parallelism-max = 24
                }
                # messages per actor before jumping
                throughput = 100
            }
        }
    }
}

I try to use it on an actor:
private val default = Akka.system.actorOf(Props[MessageRouterActor].withRouter(FromConfig()).withDispatcher("rr-dispatcher"), "msgRouter")

But I get this message stating the dispatcher couldn't be found:
[info] play - Starting application default Akka system.
[WARN] [04/20/2013 22:05:12.069] [application-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-5] [Dispatchers] Dispatcher [rr-dispatcher] not configured, using default-dispatcher

As far as I've seen this seems to be the correct way to add it. Anyone knows what's the issue?

A: You have to put the full config value path: withDispatcher("akka.actor.rr-dispatcher") (or perhaps even "play.akka.actor.rr-dispatcher")

Elton John - Empty Sky
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing.
Empty Sky is the debut studio album by British singer-songwriter Elton John, released on 6 June 1969. Recorded during the winter of 1968 and spring of 1969 in a DJM 8-track studio, Empty Sky is the only album in the early part of his career not produced by Gus Dudgeon, instead helmed by friend and DJM staffer Steve Brown. John plays harpsichord on several tracks, including "Skyline Pigeon", which John has described as being "the first song Bernie and I ever got excited about that we ever wrote." "Skyline Pigeon" is the most popular and best known song on the album, and is the only one which John, albeit infrequently, performs as part of his live shows. Although John has since called the album naive, he does have fond memories of making the record. These include walking home from recording at 4 a.m. and lodging at the Salvation Army HQ in Oxford Street, which was run by Steve Brown's father.

Employees and minority shareholders have edged closer to getting powers to take legal action against directors for breach of good faith when the Companies and Other Entities Bill, currently before Parliament and set to go through public hearings, becomes law.
This comes as parliamentary portfolio committees for the Companies and Other Entities Bill, the Tripartite Negotiating Forum Bill and the Consumer Protection Bill will be holding separate public hearings on the proposed laws between February 25 and March 1, 2019.
Minorities with collective interest amounting to at least 5 percent, will also have powers to call for investigation into the conduct of directors or companies and private business corporations if they feel there has been dereliction of duty, breach of faith, trust or reckless conduct by directors.
Several companies in Zimbabwe have collapsed in recent years as a result of gross mismanagement or reckless conduct of directors, but little could be done to bring the offenders to book, as the existing laws were deemed vague on such issues.
"Under certain conditions specified in clause 60 a member or members acting on their own behalves against any director for breach of good faith or want of care or diligence in that capacity may also at the same time bring action on behalf of the company or PBC," reads an excerpt from the Bill.
The litigants concerned must apply to the court for leave to bring or continue legal proceedings against a director or directors on behalf of the company where the company has failed to take the necessary steps in terms of a demand served upon it.
This new legal position is a departure from the common law position, which contemplated a wrong being ratified by the majority shareholders; it also departs from the "proper plaintiff rule", where the company itself has to institute legal action when a wrong has been committed against it.
The clause also goes further in allowing in exceptional circumstances for an interested person other than a member to apply to court to institute proceedings without demanding action from the company first. Employees too can therefore bring a derivative action against a particular company.
"The enhanced derivative action remedy will advance good corporate responsibility and will promote stakeholder activism, thereby discouraging malfeasance by directors of a company and providing a remedy through court action/application," reads another excerpt from the Bill.
The proposed legislation provides criminal penalties for making false statements by directors and other officers or responsible persons of companies and private business corporations.
The High Court will also have power to declare a director or member or former director or member of a company or public company personally liable for the private company's or the public debts if he or she was responsible for carrying on its business recklessly, grossly negligently or fraudulently.
Further, the legislation provides for criminal penalties for fraudulent, reckless or wilful failure to comply with provisions of this Bill to ensure proper financial accounting by companies and public company; also for falsification or deliberate concealment or destruction or of documents.
The law provides for disqualification of any persons convicted of certain crimes in connection with the promotion, formation or management of a company or public company from being managers or directors of such entities.
Any interested persons may apply for such an order from the court.
Directors and owner-managers have abused their power to asset strip, divert resources or extend loans to each other or related parties without following due processes, which in most cases prejudiced companies and benefited individuals.


Weasel's Journey: Under the sea.
One of the days we were in Hawaii we drove to the town of Lahaina and took a submarine ride with Atlantis Adventures. What a great excursion! We saw many beautiful fish and learned a lot about the fascinating and fragile ecosystem of a coral reef. Our guide was very entertaining, keeping a nice balance between factual information and humor.
Waiting for the sub to surface. Can you spot it under the water?
We passed by this shipwreck. Our guide told us this was Atlantis I but that the company had made some design changes for the Atlantis sub we were on! In reality this was a very old ship whose hull had rusted through.
After surfacing we boarded the boat again and headed for shore. We saw several signs of humpback whales: spray from blowholes and tails slapping the water, but I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of any of them.
Upon disembarking we walked around the historical town of Lahaina. We enjoyed a fun and delicious lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise and then stopped to admire the magnificent Banyan tree near the old courthouse.
sounds like a fun day! I remember visiting Lahaina while we were in Hawaii 9 years ago. No submarine ride, though - how cool is that???
Your vacation sounds like it was an amazing week. I know how hard it must be to return to reality!
Oh this is just incredible!! I'm so jealous (in a good way) - I can't wait to go...hope I get to see all the same amazing things you are seeing. Such a great post!
Your pictures are so beautiful--the color is amazing!
I just caught up with your adventures in Hawaii!! What a blast, loved that you are keeping us updated. Soak it all in, girl...every bit!!
LOVE the whole submarine thing. And seeing a SHARK?? Too cool.
How fun! Thanks for sharing all of your vacay photos - so glad you had such a great time, Eloise!


The expression "every day is different" is often overused. In the case of Marita Gronberg, Community Supports Outreach Worker with GEF Seniors Housing, the expression takes on a whole new level of meaning. She explains that her role in the Community Supports team sees her making those one-on-one connections with people living in GEF Seniors Housing buildings and building the kinds of relationships where she's able to identify what's missing in a person's life and how her area of expertise can help them.
The foundation of trust Gronberg builds with the people she works one-on-one with is crucial to ensuring they receive the supports they need. She identifies social isolation as being one of the most pervasive issues that many seniors face. Research has shown that social isolation's damaging effects extend far past simply having no one to talk to. The mental and physical health detriments seniors experience when isolated can seriously affect their quality of life and include an increased risk of cognitive decline, dementia, increased blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.
The kinds of issues Gronberg has helped people work through include finding transportation solutions for people who can no longer drive, working on finance issues with people trying to live on a low-income, and even more serious mental health issues such as hoarding disorders and depression. She recounts a story about working with a woman living with depression and some of the challenges she helped her overcome.
Gronberg knows how hard it can be for people to open up and ask for help. Seniors especially have this difficulty because they often don't know what's available to them and how easy it is to access what are often free or low-cost services and solutions to many issues they face. Gronberg's worked hard to earn a good reputation around GEF Seniors Housing and continues working with people one-on-one to ensure they're living with a good quality of life.
Glad to see your services featured in the Community Connection Blog Marita Well done!
Loved the article. Was pleased to know GEF is not only a home for seniors, but also a good place to be able to get required assistance when needed, thanks to people like Marita.
Marita, you have the heart and soul to do the work you are doing. Bless you…………..

These two terms describe how a person takes in information from the world. In Jungian terms this is the "perceiving" function. In Myers-Briggs typing, this is the second letter of the four-letter type (Sensor or iNtuitor).
as the name implies prefer the evidence of their own senses. They tend to focus on the here and now. They prefer concrete information taken in through their five senses. They prefer facts and figures to ideas and theories. They prefer descriptive language to metaphors or more abstract constructs. They are more likely to learn things one step at a time, from start to finish. They focus on the details sometimes losing the big picture. To understand something they start at the smallest level and work up.
See: The trees (But what about the forest?).
Their brains are like: The phone book because they are, ordered, sequential, factual.
Motto: Just the facts, please.
don't exactly ignore the evidences of their senses but they rely more heavily on hunches or their gut. They link the experience of their senses to other things via memory and imagination. They focus on the big picture. They more interested in theories than facts and figures. They tend to focus on the future and possibilities. They tend to prefer metaphors to highly descriptive language. To understand something they start at the highest level and try to break it down to the individual pieces.
Focus on: What might be.
See: The forest (Hey! Don't forget those trees).
Their brains are like: The Internet because they are connected but random. One thing links to the other but not in sequence.
Motto: That's fine in practice, but what about the theory.
You can see how communication breakdowns might occur if one of you is a strong sensor and one is a strong N. The S will be wondering when the N will actually get to the point. The N will be drowning in all that rich S detail. Both may have a clear perception of the topic but are using different languages (concrete versus abstract/metaphorical).
Obviously most of us will be a bit of both. However, we all tend to have a preference for one mode or the other.
About 70 to 75 percent of the population are Sensors.
About 25 to 30 percent of the population are iNtuitors.
The ad-hoc way I am organizing these articles should give you a clue as to which (Sensor or Intuitor) I am.
If that is not enough then the "Their brains are like" metaphor should make it more obvious.
If you still can't guess then I need to re-write the article.
Monday, April 13th, 2009. Filed under Types.
You alluded to the fact that Ns weren't necessarily sequencial. I'm an N but also a J. So my brain is very ordered. With this, I come to points very well – my mode of communication is logical. I think not coming to point is more of a P trait?
The way I see the distinction between N and S (feel free to correct) is that S tends to focus on what is, what their eyes tell them. They are very present. Whereas Ns tend to focus on what is implied. Base this on their own interpretations. So not necessarily as straightforward, black and white as the S. They read into things.


[Supervisor] Petrone had reportedly wanted this revitalization project for the former urban renewal area as his legacy to the town, but he won't get it now. Instead he was reportedly blindsided by Cuthbertson's switch last Thursday.
Sources told the Press that Cuthbertson withdrew his support because Huntington Democratic Party insiders wanted to take the housing issue off the table so Republicans couldn't use it against the Democratic incumbents in the elections next year. Councilwoman Susan Berland, who had straddled the fence for months, finally came out against the AvalonBay proposal this summer. She wanted less density.
I guess we can count this as a point in favor of Matt Yglesias' suggestion to isolate local elections from party politics by making the races non-partisan.
Another part of the story that I found interesting was all the people hearkening back to their childhoods and their parents' motivations for moving out of NYC to Long Island and using these as excuses not to let developers build on this site. This is pretty ironic, considering that the development was to be built on a plot of land that was once occupied by housing that was razed in the 1950s in an urban renewal scheme.
I'm a few months late to all this, but it was apparently an important battle in the broader war over land use in Long Island – so much so that there was a post mortem held by a Long Island smart growth group that Newsday covered here and here. The articles are, unfortunately, well gated, but if there are any NYC-area Optimum Online or Newsday subscribers out there, please e-mail me (smithsj[at]gmail[dot]com), because I'd love to learn more about this.
Anybody know of any other local land use decisions that were influenced by party politics?
Edit: Not sure how I forgot to include this since it was the whole reason I chose to post it, but the affordable housing is mandated by local inclusionary zoning – no developer would voluntarily seek out below-market rents. So essentially the developer was forced to include "affordable" units, which then became the very reason that the community rejected the proposal.
I agree with them that cities are more likely to turn people into Democrats – I think people tend to vote mostly on social issues, and cities definitely make people more socially liberal. However, I am surprised at the level of self-awareness coming from NoVa Republicans.
They're probably right. It's very indicative of the motivation of politicians being the preservation of their own jobs over anything else.

PRODUCT CODE: 7A0835
The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust
The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) was opened in 1991 in response to the AIDS pandemic in South Africa. Initially, the focus of the Centre was mainly on education and counselling for people infected and families affected by the disease as well as talks in schools and businesses.
In 1999 the Centre was restructured as a Trust with eleven trustees, who are professionals from religious, medical, financial and legal fraternities. In the last few years, our focus on care has increased rapidly in a response to the needs of the pandemic, which is now full blown.
Most significantly is the growth in both the home-based care project and the income generation project, which we see as the most fundamental part of care. The income-generating project includes activities such as sales of second hand clothing, making energy saving fuel-efficient stoves and handcraft. The craft project incorporates beadwork, papermaking, ceramics, wirework, sewing, crochet and fabric painting.
This scheme is for those affected by the epidemic, including the volunteer caregivers, people who are infected and unemployed and caregivers of children. In addition HACT provides feeding schemes for families in need, runs a home-based care for people who are ill at home, holds educational AIDS prevention workshops to various groups such as schools, businesses, church groups and factory workers, and assists with school fees, uniform, stationery costs for children in their care.
In 2003, HACT started a horticulture project to produce food gardens to combat malnutrition and also to produce marketable plants as part of our income generation project. Families affected by HIV/AIDS are now producing fresh produce for household consumption and also earning a living from it. HACT has also started four food gardens in schools, teaching children how to produce food. The vegetables go into a daily meal. For many children this is the only meal they get.

California Statewide Transition Plan: A Threat to Adults with Autism?
The Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver program allows states flexibility to offer different types of services to individuals with disabilities, including developmental disabilities. Roughly 35% of the budget for California's DDS comes from Medicaid.
In January 2014, the Center for Medicaid Services (CMS) issued new regulations defining HCBS settings as outcome-oriented, guided by the consumer's person-centered service plan (PCP) and having the following characteristics: (1) integrated in and supporting full access to the greater community—both employment and community life to the same degree as individuals not receiving Medicaid HCBS, (2) giving individuals the right to select from among various setting options, (3) ensuring individuals' rights of privacy, dignity and other freedoms, (4) optimizing autonomy and independence in making life choices and (5) facilitating choice regarding services and supports.
For Medi-Cal provider-owned or controlled HCBS settings, the provider must offer: (1) a legally enforceable occupancy agreement, (2) privacy including lockable doors, roommate choice and freedom to furnish units, (3) individuals control of their own schedules, (4) freedom to have visitors, and (5) a physically accessible setting. Any modification must be supported by the PCP.
It sounds good on paper, so what is the problem for adults with autism?
For people with substantial developmental disabiities, including behavioral or cognitive challenges, the well-intended new regulations could have a chilling effect on the development of robustly supported, program-rich housing options, and, just as alarmingly, could force viable current programs—which are in tremendous demand amid skyrocketing autism rates, and suffering from strapped budgets—to close.
• All evaluations of settings must be completed with the interest of each consumer as a priority and comply with their needs and wishes as "appropriate and commensurate with the level of need of the individual." No setting can be judged in a vacuum, without the context of the individuals being served and their person-centered plans (IPPs).
• The STP should examine the merits and compliance of each setting on its own without lumping any settings into arbitrary, generic categories. It is inaccurate, inequitable and illegal to presume that "all" congregate settings such as group homes, farmsteads, gated communities, disability-specific housing or clustered group settings are the same and, therefore, non-HCBS settings.
• The regulations must be applied broadly, consistently and equally across all Regional Centers. It is essential that no Regional Center should be allowed to interpret the HCBS requirements more narrowly than does the state or any other Regional Center.
• Any restrictions on choice—where people with developmental disabilities have less choice than nondisabled people—violates state and federal antidiscrimination laws. And of course, the requirements for HCBS settings in California should be no more restrictive than those established at the federal level by CMS.
• Given the realities of the need for supported autism housing for the intensively disabled, California should explicitly recognize the appropriateness of intentionally autism-friendly supportive housing solutions, some of which may be congregate in nature, or rely on economies of scale for financial and operational viability. It is not always realistic to combine autism housing seamlessly into standard housing projects.
• An autism-friendly living environment is in no way mutually exclusive to the concept of community access. While serving adults with autism in apartments or homes in scattered urban or suburban neighborhoods is often an excellent solution for a portion of the autism population, an ever-broader array of intentional, custom solutions offering both onsite and offsite involvement are also clearly needed. Just because a setting congregates groups of people with disabilities does not in any way mean those individuals are banished from the larger community.
• In the real world, "scattered-site" housing can be prohibitively expensive. Due to prohibitive costs, there are currently virtually no viable options for creating new autism housing in certain parts of the state, such as the Bay Area. Any HCBS implementation must also recognize that in certain parts of our state virtually no new community-based autism housing is currently viable owing to overwhelming costs and lack of government funding for new developmental disability housing.
• Community access and enriched living environments are not mutually exclusive. HCBS should support full access to the greater community, but this must not translate into a de-facto mandate that all options for autism housing be restricted to scattered-site apartments and homes. We must provide the massive new population of individuals with autism and their families the right to select from among various setting options, including customized and congregate autism-friendly housing developments. If a restrictive reading of HCBS is implemented, it could lead to the disaster of mass numbers of dependent, cognitively and behaviorally challenged young adults without viable, safe options for care or housing.
• The most popular housing models are under threat. Ironically, many of the most successful and popular housing projects for adults with developmental disabilities, such as Cedars of Marin and Kainos in Redwood City—places where developmentally disabled adults have lived enriched, safe, well-supervised and community-integrated lives for decades — could be rendered ineligible for funding under the new rules. This must not be allowed to occur.
• Erecting Barriers for Lower-Functioning Adults. The STP must not create a two-tier system in which those who are higher-functioning have presumptive access to housing, but those with more severe behavioral and cognitive disabilities and in need of customized supports must contend with far higher scrutiny and greatly restricted access to options.
• The Unacceptable Wealth Divide. The STP must not create a two-tier system in which autistic adults from wealthier families (who can afford their own apartment or homes) are eligible for services, but those who cannot are rendered ineligible pending an arduous, expensive and bureaucratic review process. Most adults with autism simply cannot afford "community-based scattered site housing," which, again, is prohibitively expensive in places like the Bay Area where one-bedroom apartments rent for $2,400 a month, The STP, if narrowly construed, will gut options for those without means.
Crushing current and proposed alternatives on the basis of narrowly construed and arbitrary "settings" requirements can be catastrophic for dependent adults with autism desperately in need of affordable, supported housing. We need more incentives to create supported housing, but the STP, if improperly implemented, could have a catastrophic chilling effect.
Adults with autism need all options for safe, supported housing where they are cared for and accepted. Therefore, the centerpiece of a new community-based housing system for adults with developmental disabilities must be meaningful choice.

Woman charged with ordering deadly drive-by shooting
OAKLAND (BCN) - A woman has been charged with murder and attempted murder for allegedly ordering a February drive-by shooting in West Oakland that killed one man and wounded a man she said assaulted her, according to court records.
Rosalyn Green, 21, was arrested Sunday morning near the corner of Shattuck and Ashby avenues in Berkeley. The alleged shooter, 32-year-old Daniel Casey, was arrested in February about a week after the shooting.
Police Sgt. Richard Vass wrote in court documents that Green had been assaulted by another man on Feb. 11 and called Casey to retaliate.
Casey found the man and drove by him in the 1000 block of 24th Street near Linden Street at 11:10 a.m. that day, shooting him as well as 35-year-old Albert Easley of Oakland, according to Vass.
Both victims were taken to a hospital, where Easley died about 90 minutes later.
Police quickly identified Casey as a suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest. U.S. Marshals deputies spotted him walking in the 2400 block of 24th Avenue in Oakland on the afternoon of Feb. 17 and arrested him.
When Casey was arrested, deputies found him with a loaded stolen gun and determined he was on probation for a 2013 conviction for receiving stolen property. He was charged with murder and attempted murder as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Casey and Green are both being held in Santa Rita Jail without bail, according to jail records. Green was charged on Tuesday but her next court appearance is not listed. Casey is scheduled to return to court on May 23.

Georges Hugnet was an artist, poet, historian and publisher associated with French Surrealism. Born in 1906, he was too young to be part of the Dada movement, but his work is very much indebted to Dada and he met many of the central figures of the Parisian avant-garde, including Marcel Duchamp, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray and Tristan Tzara. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Hugnet collaborated with writers and artists including Gertrude Stein and Jean Cocteau on various publications, but it was the 1936 book of his own poetry and collages, La septième face du dé (The seventh face of the die), that became his best-known work.
The cover of La septième face du dé was designed by Duchamp and features a photograph of his readymade Why not sneeze Rrose Sélavy?, 1921, above the title. In the book Hugnet describes something impossible: an additional side or dimension to the six-sided die. This typically Surrealist conundrum sets the tone for the following twenty chapters, each of which features one of Hugnet's poems and an accompanying collage. This type of collage, which combines text with images cut from newspapers and magazines, creates new meanings through unexpected juxtapositions. Like many Dadaists and Surrealists, Hugnet exploited this technique for its potential to disrupt and subvert social conventions and norms. Many of the collages are explicitly sexual: photographs of women's bodies are cut up into fragments, becoming fetishised through the repetition, layering and juxtaposition of body parts and objects. Text fragments are positioned within and around the pictures, and the final composition is reproduced as a collotype in the book. The poems on the adjacent page are also 'collaged', combining words into nonsensical phrases, such as 'perfumed eyes' and 'his insolence was the snow of his blood'.
The book was published in an edition of 250, and this copy newly acquired for the National Gallery of Victoria features an original gouache by the artist on the frontispiece. Hugnet also inscribed this page with a dedication to his friend André Beaudin, who 'understands the language of the universe and the silences of nature with all his heart '. A long with the book, the NGV has also bought the collage La seule nuit (The only night), 1935, which depicts a child with an octopus entangled in her clothing, positioned alongside two obscured figures that appear to be unconscious or dead, and are preyed upon by two oversized animals. La seule nuit is one of several collages made in preparation for La septième face du dé, which were not included in the final publication. Both items were purchased from the artist's widow Myrtille Hugnet, whom Hugnet married in 1950, with funds generously donated by Cheryl Thomas.

What are your experiences with creating characters? I had a pretty incredible experience tonight while writing that I felt like sharing.
It might help you if you're having trouble with bringing your own characters to life.
I was walking in the snow to my college's library to use the computers there (my laptop is slowly edging for the dump) and some half-formed lines popped into my head.
Getting random, semi-jumbled sentences like that out of nowhere is pretty common for a lot of writers, I think. Anyway, I got to the library, opened up word, and put down those lines. I had no clue what kind of person I was writing about apart from the gender but I took a few guesses and started typing what felt right. I stopped trying to write what sounded 'good' to me or follow any guidelines. I just went stream-of-consciousness, putting down whatever seemed right for that character.
Pretty soon I had the page filled and I stopped having to think about what I was writing. The character genuinely "came to life" and I had the sensation of being an observer as opposed to a director. Everything flowed around that character and emerged organically from them. It was all I could do to keep up with their thoughts and actions.
In maybe 30 minutes I had a person with life and blood and flesh, more real to me than characters in the past I had spent months trying to plan out.
I moved on to the next character and did the same, starting with a few random thoughts I'd been toying with and letting the character grow naturally out of that. I had no idea what they would be like at the start, but after another half an hour I felt like I was facing a real person with their own autonomy. I didn't have to think about what they would do next – they just did it.
Read: Everything I have passion to write has been done to death or doesn't seem good enough.
I forgot where I was and wrote for a couple hours. It didn't seem like work, it felt like I was just allowing myself to operate as a medium so that the characters could express themselves. I'm still kinda on a writing high from it.
I've always heard famous authors talk about how their characters come to life and I always figured it was nothing more than a figure of speech, but tonight I understood the depth of that statement.
TL;DR By letting my characters appear spontaneously and organically from nothing but a few random lines, I "brought them to life" in a way I didn't know was possible.
How do I make an interesting character?

100% Renewable Energies for Germany by 2030?
The smarter E Podcast Episode 53 | June 24, 2021
Within nine years, Germany can completely switch its electricity and heat generation to renewable energies. This is the result of a new study by the Energy Watch Group (EWG). The study shows that Germany can be fully, reliably and economically supplied with energy as early as 2030, and even have an economically more advantageous energy system in the process. The study presents the first comprehensive energy scenario that ensures Germany's path to 100% renewables by 2030 is cross-sectoral, technologically and economically feasible, and with full demand coverage even during winter dark periods, accurate to the hour.
Hans-Josef Fell, President at the Energy Watch Group,
This would make Germany the first industrialized country in the world to lead the innovation competition for climate neutrality, ahead of the USA and China. How exactly can we achieve this major goal? What are currently the biggest hurdles? And does the proposed 100% renewable energy system automatically lead to climate neutrality?
That's what we're talking about today with Hans-Josef Fell, President at the Energy Watch Group, known to many as one of the "fathers of the EEG".
About The smarter E Podcast
The smarter E podcast is all about the current trends and developments in a renewable, decentralized and digital energy industry. Our moderators Tobias Bücklein and Zackes Brustik welcome and interview personalities who shape our industry and drive developments forward. A new episode is published every Thursday.

About Hans-Josef Fell and Energy Watch Group
The Energy Watch Group is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan global network of scientists and parliamentarians. As an independent think tank, EWG works to change the status quo, provide new perspectives, and give voice to objective science. EWG is also committed to changing political action towards 100% renewable energy and climate protection through scientific analysis, policy advice and dialogue.
Hans-Josef Fell is the initiator of EWG and has acted as its president since 2014. During his time as a member of the German Bundestag, he co-authored the draft legislation of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), which was pushed through and passed in 2000 despite much political opposition. In the meantime, the basic principle of the EEG has been copied by almost 100 nations.

Q: C# class arrays and indexers, do multiple arrays in a class have to be public? I have a class that's going to hold 3 parallel arrays. (For a class assignment we're basically coding a rudimentary xml parser...beginning programming class)
*Note, I'm doing this in very basic OOP. I've got an XMLObject class which has the arrays, and holds the xml elements in one array, the data values in another, and the ending  elements in the third. I've also got an XMLParse object that does the actual parsing, and stores the strings to their various arrays as it finds them. I've been forbiddin from using .net's xml stuff for this assignment, has to be a byte by byte read in.
Now I was reading on MSDN about indexers, and as I understand it, I can either only have one array using an indexer(since that's the only way for properties to receive parameters), or I have to make my arrays public so that the parse class can add to them, and main or another class can read from them.
Do I have that right or am I missing something/not understanding how to get and set arrays of one class from another?
Does the same go for list as well?

A: If I understand your question you want to have many indexers on your class which will return the various elements from the arrays that the class holds.
you can have many indexers, but only if the type used by each indexer is different.  So you could have an indexer by int and an indexer by string, but not 2 indexers by int.
From the sounds of things you won't be able to use indexers to access all the values your class holds, as they will probably all want to use int.
Publicly exposing the arrays is one option, but you could also provide different methods for reading each thing, so you could have GetXmlElement(int index), GetDataValue(int index) and GetEndingElement(int index) to provide access to the contents of the arrays.
Another option would be to store the data in arrays internally, but accept and return a class which bundled up all the data together.  This way you could have a single indexer which returned all the data, as all the data would be a single object with the element, data value and end element in it.
you would have to provide similar methods for adding data and potentially removing and changing as well.  Whether you want to do this, opr just exopse the underlying arrays/lists depends on if you want to be able to exercise control over the adding/accessing/deleting/changing of the arrays or not.

A: I suggest you use List<T> instead of array for storing the data. It is much easier to work with.

MGA's coaches are, from left: Lize Janse van Rensburg, Merene van Zyl, Martin Brits and club owner Richard Marshall.
Some of the local gymnasts who shared their passion and future goals with us while shedding some light on the value the sport ads to their lives.
Ruan Goosen, a 14-year-old level 5 Mens Artistic Gymnast says he likes the way Gymnastics make him feel free and fearless, how its made him stronger and faster and how it taught him to trust his coaches.
Melody Raats is a 15-year-old Women's Artistic Gymnast who competes at level 6 this year. She enjoys the grit and strength the sport teaches her. "My mobility, central balance and all-around strength improves constantly and flying through the air is an added bonus." She does not let success or failure define her as an athlete, but that rising to the challenge of the sport makes a sportsperson a champion.
Thirteen-year-old Viné van den Heever competes at level 4 and loves the way gymnastics taught her to believe in herself and that it is fun to do! It has also made her more supple, stronger and improved her posture. Having done gymnastics from the age of three, she has learnt to never give up, to believe in herself and to chase her dreams.
Their coaches Merene van Zyl and Lize Janse van Rensburg says they have learned as much from training gymnasts as they have from coaching courses.
"Through gymnastics, coaches and athletes learn tenacity and grit and even though mistakes are made, they know that they are not defined by their competition results, by their falls, or by their victories.
"I have learnt that injuries happen, that judges make mistakes, that things happen out of our control, but I have learned how to make the best of these and in that train young gymnasts to do the same. I have learnt that a champion heart in an athlete is worth far more than any golden medal," says Merene.
Richard believes the mental and spiritual development is as important, and in many cases, more important than immediate physical development as the outflow of this will be increased commitment by the gymnast in his own growth and that of his peers.
MGA offers classes at the Resource, Equip and Training (RET) Centre on the corner of Geyser and Fourie Street. One free class is offered to anyone interested in finding out more about the MGA. Call Merene on 079 217 8410 to find out more.
Vine van den Heever is the reigning Limpopo champion in her age group and finished in second place at the SA Gym Games in October.

Beverly Lewis was born Beverly Marie Jones in 1949, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and grew up in the heart of 'Pennsylvania Dutch' country. She played and composed on the piano and wrote avidly from a very young age. Beverly's father was an Assemblies of God pastor, and she was raised in that denomination. However, she became fascinated with her ancestral links to the Old Order Mennonite community into which her maternal grandmother, Ada Buchwalter, had been born. Beverly's deep affinity for her Amish heritage has inspired much of her prodigious literary output - over eighty books for both children and adults.
Beverly graduated from Evangel University with a degree in Music Education, and became a schoolteacher. When her own three children were middle school age, Beverly began submitting stories to children's magazines. Her first book Mountain Bikes and Garbanzo Beans was published in 1993.
Beverly's first adult fiction, published in 1997, was the Heritage of Lancaster County trilogy, about the experiences of a young Amish woman Katie Lapp as she moves from the plain traditions of her upbringing into the modern world. Beverly has followed this award-winning bestseller with a stream of popular titles that have established her as one of our time's most beloved storytellers. Her titles include the Cul-De-Sac Kids, the Girls Only (GO!), and the Holly's Heart series for children, and the Amish based Rose, Seasons of Grace, Abram's Daughter, The Courtship of Nellie Fisher, and Annie's People series. She has received numerous awards including two Silver Angel Awards for her novels The Postcard and Annika's Secret Wish, and a Golden Book Award for The Shunning, the first volume of her Heritage of Lancaster County series.
Beverly is a member of the National League of American Pen Women as well as a Distinguished Alumnus of Evangel University. She says of her leisure:
"When I'm between writing deadlines, I enjoy hiking in the Rocky Mountains with my husband. Cooking from scratch, playing Mozart at the piano, and making family memory albums, as well as traveling to meet my devoted readers during book tours, are some of my very favorite things. I also adore reading biographies and memoirs, as well as classic literature."
She makes her home with her husband David in Colorado. In addition to their three adult children, they have three grandchildren.

Aston Martin just released some tantalising details about its forthcoming, ultra-exclusive battery-electric sports car, a first for the famed British marque. This will be a very quick, very expensive, very beautiful car, so buckle up.
The automaker will only make 155 of the extremely fast and expensive vehicles. Releasing details of the car to those too eager to wait, Aston Martin claims the Rapide E will be powered by an 800-volt battery system with 65kWh capacity using over 5,600 lithium-ion 18650 format cylindrical cells. It will have a range of "over 200 miles" with a charging rate of 185 mph using a typical 400V 50kW charger.
The Rapide E has a projected top speed of 155 mph, with a sub-4-second 0-60 mph time and a 50-70 mph time of just 1.5 seconds. With the battery pack located in place of the original 6-litre V12 engine, gearbox and fuel tank, power will be providing to two rear-mounted motors producing a combined target output of just 610PS and 950Nm of torque.
