"A calming down game" : an IPA study exploring the use of biofeedback software to support individuals in 'managing feelings'.
Temlett, Judith Ann (2010) "A calming down game" : an IPA study exploring the use of biofeedback software to support individuals in 'managing feelings'. PhD thesis, University of Sheffield.
This research examines the initial perceptions of children, their parents and school staff of using a biofeedback technique, HeartMath's emWave PC stress relief system, in four primary schools to support the development of emotional wellbeing. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to interpret information collected through 12 semi structured interviews, and the following themes were identified. The children's initial experiences were of a "calming-down game" to support them in managing anger through deep breathing and positive thought. School staff were divided in their perceptions between being "a little bit sceptical" and being 'blinded by science' by the information presented to them at their initial training. Consequently, some staff reported feeling insecure about using the technique with children. Issues of informed consent came to light through the parents' experiences and of 'intervention fatigue' - questioning whether this approach would help their children. Despite this, most parents reported noticing a positive change in their children coinciding with the use of the intervention. Themes addressing the experience of being, or supporting, an individual who needs to 'manage their feelings' were also explored. School staff discussed this from the perspective of social justice and inclusion for individuals, the school and their wider community. The children described their experiences of 'calming down' through the use of the HeartMath biofeedback technique and other anger management strategies. Parents spoke of parenting a child who has difficulties in 'managing' their feelings and the events which could trigger emotional arousal in their children. The results are" discussed in light of the promotion of emotional wellbeing in primary schools and my own emerging practice as an Educational Psychologist. As a relatively new area of Educational Psychology, a range of further research opportunities are outlined, arising from the use of biofeedback software in schools, as a targeted intervention or 'universal' strategy.


For about 25 minutes every Sunday, I hang out with a group of 2nd graders. It's rewarding and fun and I look forward to it every week. But let's not kid each other: IT'S HARD WORK. There are 12 to 15 of them, and only one me. They are rowdy. They are loud. They talk over each other. They talk over me. They make fun of each other (and sometimes me). They can be rude to each other. They can also be amazingly kind and shockingly spiritually-minded, if given an environment in which to do so. It's my job to give them that safe, fun, and [somewhat] controlled environment.
Learn their names. Just do it – you can if you make it a priority. Make them hold up a sign with their name on it and take a picture with your phone if you have to. Just learn their names.
Use "props". You should ALWAYS (I say ALWAYS!) have a prop. If I have a Nerf football that I'm casually tossing in the air during discussion time, and the boys know that I'm going to throw that ball at someone who will then get to answer the question, they are MUCH more likely to pay attention to me.
Learn what they love. Ask how they spend their free time and it will give you a pretty good idea. Some of them will only love TV. So start there. If you only talk to the kids who play football and baseball, you'll miss out on connecting with the other half of the class who simply love TV and video games.
Have fun. If you're bored, then they are bored x10. It's okay to go "off book" once in a while and tell a funny story or talk about a hilarious YouTube video you saw this week of a farting hippo. Make it fun.
Create routine. My examples: 1). They have to come in the door with a smile or high five, and I (playfully) send them back out to try again if they forget. 2). They tell me if they had a great week or an awful week and the reason why. Those two things set a good tone and create a connection from the time they come in the room each week.
If you have to discipline (and you shouldn't have to often) do it consistently and with love. The more fun and ordered your classroom is, the less behavior problems you'll have. There are, however, times that you will have a child who is a major distraction and problem. It's not fair to your class to let one child dominate your time. So make sure you've spoken with your children's pastor and know the discipline policy, then follow through with consistency and love.
So there you have it! I didn't include tips about making sure you know your lesson, or that you've prayed for the kids, or that you arrive on time and ready, because I assume you already know that stuff! Those are just the basics! Commit to building real relationships and taking your small group to that next level – you'll be amazed what those kids can teach you.
I love the idea about them holding up a sign with their name and taking a picture on your phone!

Previous / Ecclestone doubts Massa return in '09 Next / Toyota moves to deny quit rumours
FOTA vows to help save BMW Sauber
Jul 29, 2009, 10:34 AM
The Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) has vowed to do all it can to help secure a future for the BMW Sauber team, following its parent company's decision to quit the sport
Just as FOTA moved to help keep Brawn GP on the grid after Honda withdrew from F1 last December, the organisation's secretary general Simone Perillo said on Wednesday that the teams' body had held immediate talks to confirm its support for the Hinwil-based operation.
"FOTA Teams have immediately consulted each other and are ready to assure all the necessary support to the Swiss-based team, whose membership in the association is confirmed, to continue its involvement in the F1 Sport," said Perillo.
FOTA is poised to begin a detailed evaluation of what improvements can be made to the sport - and one option it is openly considering it for teams to run three cars in a bid to keep grid numbers high.
"It is worth mentioning that a professional work has already begun within FOTA, aimed at increasing the involvement of the fans and at improving the F1 show," continued Perillo.
"Among those initiatives, one that could be interesting is the introduction of a third car on the grid. FOTA will seek the opinions of all the most relevant stakeholders in order to exchange ideas and define proposals for the future of Formula 1.
"FOTA Teams now wish to have the necessary certainty and stability within Formula 1 in order to focus on those fundamental priorities for the future."

Is It Good To Do Overseeding In The Spring?
If spring is approaching, and you need to get your lawn prepared, you may want to consider overseeing. This is a strategy that is used by people that are trying to improve the condition of the front or back yard. It's easy to do if you have the proper equipment. It will probably only take about 30 minutes of your time. This will allow you to start this process. If you can, do the overseeing prior to spring, but is it a good idea to do it once spring arrives?
This is going to accomplish a couple different things. First of all, you are going to increase the probability that you are going to have grass grow as thick as possible. It is a strategy that is often used when you are trying to improve certain areas where the grass has died. Instead of doing it prior to spring, some people try to do this during the spring time. There are some positive and negative aspects to this particular strategy.
The primary benefit of doing this is to ensure that your lawn is as healthy as possible. In some cases, too much seed can cause a few problems. For instance, if there is not enough water, or nutrients in the soil, extremely thick grass can start to be compromised. However, if you have fertilize properly, and you are watering regularly, it is simply going to look fantastic.
The main drawbacks of doing this have already been mentioned. You could crowd all of the other blades of grass causing them to not be healthy. It may also be difficult for your mower to go through the grass. You may end up burning out your mower very quickly. By using common sense when seeding your grass, you will have a healthy lawn.
What About Using A Professional To Help You?
You can use a professional to help you. It's actually easy to accomplish. You can go to the Yellow Pages, or search on the web, and you will be able to find someone that is affordable. Reviews are often posted about these professionals that can help you get this seeding done. They will do it properly, using the exact type of grass that you have to ensure that you get the best results. If you choose to do this after spring arrives, they will also avoid overseeding your grass.
Now that you have a better idea of how to seed your grass, you can see that, in some cases, over seeding might be necessary. If there are areas of your lawn that are extremely thin, or even barren of grass, you will need to provide as much seed as possible. This also requires you to fertilize the lawn properly, and also provide plenty of water. As long as you are doing this in the spring, use these tips to ensure that the amount of seed that you use will actually help it look better. Keep in touch with Discover Ziehler to know more about lawn maintenance.

No-deal Brexit would leave many businesses facing 'extinction', warns food industry chief
Caitlin Morrison
The Independent February 12, 2019
A number of British businesses are at risk of "extinction" if a no-deal Brexit goes ahead, the head of the Food and Drink Federation has claimed.
The warning comes after the UK food industry threatened to break off cooperation with the government because of the "catastrophic" risk of leaving the EU with no deal in place.
On Monday, the heads of more than 30 trade associations told Michael Gove, the environment secretary, that they cannot "respond to non-Brexit-related policy consultations or initiatives".
Organisations including the FDF, the National Farmers' Union and the Federation of Bakers said all attention should be focused on how to deal with a no-deal Brexit, which is becoming "ever more the likeliest outcome".
On Tuesday, Ian Wright, the FDF's chief executive, told the BBC: "A third of my staff on any one day are in conversations and discussions with government representatives to help planning for a no-deal Brexit. This is becoming all consuming and the dangers are huge.
"Many businesses are threatened with extinction."
He added: "One in 10 of our members surveyed last week believe that a no-deal Brexit could cause them such damage that they might have to go out of business."
The food and drink bosses' letter to the government comes weeks after the UK's biggest retailers, including Sainsbury's, Asda and Waitrose, warned politicians that a no-deal Brexit in March will see items disappear from supermarket shelves and could put the UK's food security at risk.
A disorderly Brexit and trading under World Trade Organisation terms would cause "significant disruption" and push up food prices, the group said.

James Wayman was Pepper Lipsinx, the guy who did late afternoons on Sarasota's Surf Row Radio WYND in 1967. In 1968, he moved to Pinellas Park's WFSO and became its PD and music director, and then moved on to WLCY in 1969 to work nights from 6 to 11 P.M. Back then, it was not uncommon to hear him host the station's late night talk show, "Open Mike," on evenings when regular host Harvey Sheldon took a night off.
In 1970, the former Pontiac, Michigan native left Tampa Bay and headed to WRKT in Cocoa Beach. A year later, he could be heard in afternoon drive at WLOF in Orlando. After a brief stop at WMYR in Ft. Myers in 1972, he left Florida for the remainder of his radio career, except for 1985 when he spent a short time with WVHG-FM in Labelle, Florida (between Ft. Myers and Lake Okeechobee).

What Are Some Good Swimming Safety Tips? | Phoenix Personal Injury Law Blog - Breyer Law Offices, P.C.
Hot weather is persisting in Arizona and that means more pool parties—that's why it's important to pay attention to swimming safety tips. Parents just like you will be navigating the shift from having kids in school full time to having kids in the pool full time, and there's nothing wrong with doing a little reconnaissance to make sure you remember how to keep your children safe, how to keep your mind at ease, and what to do when things don't go exactly as planned. And if you're going to be out swimming a lot, here are some of the best things you can do to keep your family safe.
Know the temperature of the water you and your children are swimming in. No matter what time of year it is, there are some bodies of water, even swimming pools, that remain relatively cool, and in the mountains, very cold. Swimming in cold water can be difficult, especially when fatigued, and this can lead to a dangerous situation.
Swim where there are lifeguards whenever possible. When you're out in the wilderness, there are no lifeguards and life preservers to help you stop a bad situation from turning into a drowning accident. Do the majority of your swimming at public pools, or private pools, where safety devices and trained personnel might be at the ready.
Make rules for your family when it comes to the water, and stick to the rules. You can, and should, set rules for just about everything when it comes to your kids and the water. Tell them when they can play in the water, for how long they can play in the water, and who must be present for them to go near or get in the water. Kids going to the pool or out to a lake in a group of friends should never be a suitable group. As a parent you must remember that just because your children are in a group, doesn't mean that the group can stop a disaster.
National Water Safety Month is all about reminding you to be prepared for the fun, and the possible trouble, that warmer weather and pool time can bring to your family and your life. Remember to keep an eye out and keep safety top of mind.

Rock stars 'among £1bn dodgers'
ROCK stars Sir Bob Geldof and Sir Mick Jagger are among the wealthy taking advantage of a scheme which puts property beyond the reach of the taxman, it was revealed yesterday.
By John Chapman
00:00, Mon, Mar 19, 2012
Sir Bob Geldof has homes in the name of an overseas firm
The rich have placed almost 100,000 homes, including castles and Highland estates worth an estimated £200billion, into offshore companies.
It denies Britain more than £1billion a year in tax.
The Land Registry has calculated that in the past 12 years, 94,760 properties have been put beyond the reach of the taxman.
Jagger, who has been non-resident for tax for 40 years, signed a 99-year lease on a property in Chelsea, west London, in 2008 through a company based in the British Virgin Islands, reports have said.
His spokesman said he gained no tax benefit from this and had registered the house through the company for security reasons.
Sir Bob, an Irish citizen and campaigner against poverty, has properties in England which are owned by British Virgin Islands companies. A source close to the former Boomtown Rat said it was "perfectly legitimate" tax planning and denied it was linked to avoiding stamp duty.
I don't like the idea of having anything offshore. We just took a decision, a moral decision, that we wouldn't be taking advantage of these things any more.
John Simpson
Muammar Gadaffi's son, Saadi, owned a house in Hampstead Garden Suburb, north London, costing £10million through a company registered in the British Virgin Islands. There are big tax savings to be made from putting a property into a company, either offshore or UK registered.
Once the property is in a company it can be sold on without incurring stamp duty. On a property worth £5million, this could save the purchaser £250,000.
There are further benefits if the company is offshore. Depending on tax status, the owner could also avoid inheritance tax.
John Simpson, the BBC's world affairs editor, revealed that his family's London townhouse, bought for £1.85million in 2004, is owned through a company in the Bahamas controlled by his wife, Adele Kruger, a South African national. But he had decided to put it back into their names, even though this will cost him a "six-figure sum" in capital gains tax.
Simpson said:" I don't like the idea of having anything offshore. We just took a decision, a moral decision, that we wouldn't be taking advantage of these things any more."
It is believed some areas of central London have more than one in 20 properties owned offshore.

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL —The first national survey of refugee mental health screening practices found that while refugee trauma survivors are at increased risk of developing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depression, most states do not provide mental health screenings.
The survey, conducted by researchers at the University of Minnesota in collaboration with the State Refugee Health Coordinator and the Center for Victims of Torture (CVT), a St. Paul-based torture survivor rehabilitation center, was recently published in the Journal of Immigrant and Refugee Studies.
"Refugee health coordinators at the state level are in need of short, culturally appropriate mental health screening tools to identify refugees who need assessment and treatment services," said Patricia Shannon, one of the co-authors of the study and an assistant professor in the U of M's School of Social Work.
Of the 25 states that provide a mental health screening, 17 (70.8%) utilize informal conversation rather than standardized measures.
Further, despite the fact that many refugees are fleeing war torn areas, less than half of the states report directly asking refugees about their exposure to war trauma or torture.
The survey also found that states that have a program that advocates, educates and provides treatment services for survivors of torture are more likely to be aware of and to screen for the devastating effects of war trauma and torture.
States reported that several barriers are in place to prevent mental health screenings, including lack of culturally sensitive instruments and lack of time and resources.
Health screenings that take place at both private and local public health clinics are typically completed during the course of one to three visits and physicians may have very little time to establish the rapport that is necessary to discuss traumatic experiences or to educate refugee patients about normal reactions to trauma. However, deferring a mental health screening until refugees have established primary care may not be appropriate either as some refugees may not do so until long after they have resettled.
The fact that most refugees have medical coverage through refugee medical assistance or state Medicaid in their first eight months makes it even more imperative that screening and referral for assessment and treatment takes place early in the resettlement process.
In 2010, the United States resettled more than 73,000 refugees from 20 countries. The federal Refugee Act of 1980 entitles newly arrived refugees to a comprehensive health assessment and referral to health services.

Cyanide Coffee Murder, A Case of A Woman Killed Using Coffee
It's fascinating to consider why some murder cases have gotten so much attention. In the case of Indonesia, the love of sinetron, or broadcast soap operas, maybe the explanation. Because that's where the drama takes place. The Mirna murder case and the Jessica trial have elements in common with conventional soap operas: the women involved are young and attractive, they are wealthy, and there is a lot of drama.
Another peculiar thing about this famous instance is the location. The murder's location further adds to the "glamour" of the case. Unlike most murders, which take place in forests or at home, this one took place in a posh cafe in one of Indonesia's most posh malls. I mean, what are the chances of someone dying while drinking coffee?
On January 6, 2016, Jessica Kumala Wongso brought her friends, including victim Mirna Salihin, to Cafe Olivier in the Grand Indonesia mall (in Central Jakarta) for drinks. Jessica arrived considerably earlier than expected, purchased beverages for everyone, including Mirna's Vietnamese iced coffee, and sat at a table that was hidden from the monitoring cameras. Jessica allegedly placed some shopping bags on the table after the beverages were brought to the table to hide them from the security cameras and other people's eyes.
Mirna and another friend (Hani) arrived at Cafe Olivier a little later, and Jessica urged Mirna to try the Vietnamese iced coffee she had ordered about an hour before. Mirna claimed that the iced coffee tasted awful when she took a sip. Her companion Hani had a sip of the coffee and agreed that it had an odd flavour. Jessica, on the other hand, did not take a sip of coffee. Mirna passed out shortly after that. She was taken to a local hospital by ambulance, but she died an hour later after removing the zip on the coffee.
Mirna's stomach was found to be bleeding, according to the autopsy report. Mirna's Vietnamese iced coffee and her stomach were both determined to contain cyanide, according to Indonesian authorities.
Jessica was arrested on January 30, 2016, and charged with the deliberate murder of her companion. Investigators took weeks to make this decision because they couldn't find direct evidence that Jessica put cyanide in Mirna's coffee. Despite Jessica's suspicious behaviour, the case was rendered much more contentious by the fact that this crucial piece was never discovered. The popular perception, on the other hand, was unanimous: Jessica was the murderer.
The issue was hotly disputed and discussed on social media, and it was constantly reported in the national media, making it one of the most talked-about subjects among the youth. The motivation for the murder, in particular, sparked a lot of speculation: was Jessica jealous because her lesbian partner Mirna married Arief Soemarko in November 2015? Is it possible that Mirna's husband, Arief, was the one who killed his wife? Or did a former business partner of Mirna's father murder his daughter in retaliation?
Despite the absence of direct witnesses or video surveillance footage showing Jessica putting cyanide in Mirna's coffee, the Jakarta District Court is convinced that Jessica is the murderer and has sentenced her to 20 years in prison, as the prosecution demanded. Its decision is based on Jessica's suspicious behaviour on and around January 6, 2016, as well as Jessica's tumultuous past in Australia.
Jessica is a former Australian permanent resident. She moved to Australia with her family after graduating from high school in 2008 and attended Billy Blue College in Sydney. Jessica stayed in Australia for seven years before returning to Jakarta in late 2015 to look for work.
Jessica met Mirna at Billy Blue College, and the two became fast friends. Jessica became enraged with Mirna, according to the authorities, since the latter did not approve of Jessica's Australian lover Patrick O'Connor.
After Jessica and Patrick broke up, she began to exhibit troubling signs of mental illness, prompting her ex-boyfriend to file a restraining order against her in 2015. She retaliated by threatening to kill herself. She had previously been involved in an alcohol-related accident in which she crashed her automobile into a nursing home. All of these things indicate that someone is mentally ill. It resulted in a 20-year prison sentence when combined with her suspicious behaviour in Cafe Olivier.

Romeo and Juliet, the tragic tale of two 'star-crossed lovers', was written by Shakespeare in 1596. Baz Luhrmann transformed Shakespeare's traditional play of 'Romeo and Juliet', into a fast moving, modern adaptation, the film 'Romeo+Juliet'. The original play used traditional, historical settings to appeal to and engage it's audience whereas Luhrmann was able to transform the play into Romeo+Juliet by using modernisation and taking advantage of new technologies to appeal to his 20th century audience.
Both William Shakespeare's play of 'Romeo and Juliet', and 'Romeo+Juliet', the film directed by Baz Luhrmann intend to appeal to and engage their respective audiences by relating to their current time period. The setting of the story and scene is an important element to consider as it offers insight into where and when a scene is taking place.
In Baz Luhrmann's 1996 version, 'Romeo+Juliet', it is set in modern times, with police patrolling and controlling the city as to Princes men. Luhrmann took the most informative, popular media device of the time, a box television and a news report and used it to deliver the prologue, which foreshadowed the tragedy and ill-fated romance of the story. Whilst television reporters took the place of narrators, the setting of the film compared to the play were drastically different. While Verona, Italy was the original setting of the play, Luhrmann set his scenes to Verona Beach, to give the audience a feel for the modern, busy, problem-filled city. Scenes were set on the beach, or in a mansion compared to a castle of bluestone building from the renaissance.
'Romeo and Juliet' is set in Renaissance Italy, in a patriarchal society, a society in which men are superior to women in all of it's aspects. At the time the play was set, people believed in magic, fate, destiny and fairytales alike, which was reflected in the prologue where it states, ' star-crossed lovers', and 'death marked love,' which is used to show that the characters fate lies not only in love but death too. In the film, Luhrmann engages and appeals to his audience by showing society as it is, showing his audience reality. In the films prologue and opening scenes it shows police, public brawls and guns, to show the audience the corruption and violence of society. Even though Luhrmann changed this aspect of the original play it still fits in to Shakespeare's theme of hatred, pain and suffering, a theme which resonates well with the right audience.
The modern setting cause stylistic changes in the overall design of the costumes and props used in 'Romeo+Juliet', the film. For example the Capulet boys wore biker jackets and 'edgy' clothing whilst the Montague boys opted for flow causal beach shirts. By modernising the characters wardrobe Luhrmann was able to have his audience relate to the characters because of what they wore and what their dress said about them. The wardrobe of the characters also says a lot about the society the characters are involved in and what life was like for them.
Film techniques are an approach to show the theme of the movie to the audience

Spain ignored 12 years of international warnings and reached the pandemic with a very weakened Primary Care
In 2008, some years after the SARS crisis and in the face of environmental threats, WHO warned states in its annual report that health problems were changing "in an unpredictable sense", that poor management of urbanization and aging could take its toll on the spread of communicable diseases and emerging, and that it was important to promote Primary Care and its preventive approach against "hospitalocentrism". In 2015, after the Ebola crisis, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health asked the countries to strengthen Primary Care to fulfill its role of addressing social determinants in epidemic contexts. Despite this, Spain reached 2018, the last year with data analyzed and two of the worst pandemic in a century, with a ratio in Primary Care of 0.66 nursing professionals per 100,000 inhabitants, and 0.77 doctors, practically the same as in 2009. Below the European average and far from Portugal (2.6), Ireland (1.82), the Netherlands (1.61), Austria (1.56) and France (1, 42).
Stagnant cuts and staff ratios: this is the map of the "lost decade" in healthcare, community to community
All this is told and denounced by Amnesty International (AI) in a report presented this Wednesday. It is focused on Madrid, Catalunya and Castilla-La Mancha, on what happened before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the first two waves, from March to the end of 2020. Amnesty International points out the consequences that neglect of Care Primary can carry and has carried. "It is still premature to draw conclusions about the impact of pandemic management on health indicators of other pathologies," they say, but the excess mortality recorded by the Daily Mortality Monitoring System (MoMo), on deaths that are have produced in one year above the average of the previous five, and can be related in part to pathologies not treated in time, delayed treatments or administered without sufficient resources. A diagnosis that they also cite from organizations such as the Spanish Group of Lung Cancer. Between March 2020 and February 2021, this excess of deaths was 81,608 people; the deceased with confirmed COVID-19, 68,079.
They also collect testimonies to accompany the data collected: "I have a colleague who went to her doctor's office for a lump and when she did the ultrasound they told her that a more specific study was necessary. But when she made an appointment they gave her for six months later This colleague of mine has aggressive breast cancer with three tumors in three different parts. If we wait until April, I don't even want to talk about what happened, but she had to go to a private consultation to get the tests done. This cannot be allowed. The health system is playing with the lives of patients with other non-COVID diseases and patients are not willing to contribute to this game, "says Maria Luisa, cancer patient and president of the ROSAE association.
Amnesty International already released last summer a study on the lost decade in healthcare in Spain. It was an X-ray of all the Autonomous Communities, in which they calculated that only the Balearic Islands, Melilla and Ceuta exceeded the 2009 investment in this area in 2018. And in that study, which they now also cite, they described Primary Care as the "great forgotten" of the decade: investment in 2018 had decreased in both real and inflation-adjusted terms. With this last mechanism, which the NGO considers more rigorous, public spending on Primary Care has decreased by 13%, from 9,346 million in 2009 to 8,122 in 2018. A little more than health spending in general, which fell 11.21%; and while the Gross Domestic Product increased in those years by 8.6%.
More than 400 closed centers, 100 patients a day
The NGO has made a recapitulation of data of what happened in the middle of the pandemic. During the first wave, in Catalonia 39 centers and 362 local clinics were closed; in Madrid 21 centers (7 only in the afternoon) and 87 local clinics. Castilla-La Mancha tells Amnesty International that it has not officially closed any center or clinic, but the NGO reports having received information about the closure of at least two local clinics. In addition, health professionals have come to have to attend to 100 patients a day during 2020. Before the pandemic, the Ministry of Health already recognized that 41% of doctors and family doctors had excessive quotas, which then placed it at 40-50 patients a day, AI appointment.
In addition, the formula and the relationship between patient and doctor have changed. The Forum of Primary Care Physicians warned that, from March to September, telephone calls multiplied more than 400% compared to the previous period, at a time in addition to greater demand. Amnesty International highlights how the mental health of professionals has deteriorated. They include, for example, the statements of Alda Recas, president of the Madrid Association of Independent Nursing: "It is hopeless to know that the population suffers and that you cannot do anything because the authorities do not give you the mechanisms and resources. every day your colleagues cry, say 'I can't take it anymore'. It's horrible. " And in the lack of professional teams to work in decent conditions during the first phase of the crisis. At the end of April, Spain was the country in Europe with the most infections in the sector, reaching 24.1% of the total positives in the country, according to reports from the Carlos III Health Institute. Almost 125,000 professionals have been infected since March 2020, 78% women, and 89 have died.
For all this, the NGO concludes that "although no health system could be prepared for a pandemic of such magnitude" as the one that struck us a year ago, "the country faced the crisis with a very weakened health system – so especially, primary care – due to the austerity policies carried out in recent years ". They consider that "Spain has violated the right of everyone to enjoy the highest possible level of physical and mental health" and that two pandemics have been experienced here: that of COVID-19, and that of mismanagement by the authorities. From now on, they recommend that the Ministry and Communities finally increase investment, design indicators that assess the situation of care capacity and a Plan of substitutions and measures to relax the bureaucracy. Also pay special attention to guaranteeing the care of the most vulnerable people and establishing mechanisms of transparency, participation, accountability, and that correct gender inequalities.

Conflicts at Synod are Being Downplayed by Most of the Press and the Vatican
Edit: the press has been virtually silent about the pederast enabling Cardinal Daneels. Damian Thompson is looking past the synod toward younger and more sensible management.
Despite efforts to stifle any public revelation of what's actually going on, a Melkite Patriarch, Gregory Laham spoke up in the face of the heretical musings of the President of the Panamanian Bishops' Conference, according to Toronto Catholic Witness, who translates from the blog of Archbishop Stanislas Gadecki of Poland
"One should always speak of the "sacrament of matrimony" and not "marriage". To show the spiritual beauty of marriage. To assist spouses one must show them the unchangeable, spiritual vision of matrimony. Many times we are not united with the positive vision of marriage and the family. Jesus corrected Moses. Dissoluble marriage is against its nature".
Even the Old Liberal Archbishop Coleridge states that an overwhelming majority of the Bishops are opposed to Communion for the remarried and divorced as reported by the evil John Allen at the Old Liberal, Crux from Boston Globe:
It's very early, but based on your sense of where the synod stands right now, if the Kasper proposal for the divorced and remarried were put to a straight up or down vote, how would it go?I think it's about 65-35 against, and it's been clarified over the last year. I think there would certainly be a majority of bishops – this is a guess, but an informed guess – who would not favor the Kasper proposal.
Because they see it as touching the indissolubility of marriage?Not only that, but also the understanding of the Eucharist and of the Church. That's a kind of Trinity, and if you touch one, you touch the lot. That said, there are all kinds of positions along the spectrum within that 65 percent who are against.
I'll quote one bishop, and this scandalized me, who said, "This synod basically has to choose between the way of Jesus and the way of Walter Kasper." [He's right.] It wasn't in the public session, but it was said. I don't scandalize easily, but that did it.
Why is this bishop scandalised by the truth? Glad he's not my bishop.
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it is just a translation glitch.
Angele Dei October 8, 2015 at 5:54 AM
Translation glitch? ++ Coleridge is from Australia, the quote would have been made in English.
LeonG October 8, 2015 at 1:12 PM
After this protestant synod nothing will remain of the pre-conciliar ecclesiastical paradigm. Six successive liberal modernist masonic style papacies will have achieved the lutherian-calvinistic goals of total rebellion against The Blessed Trinity.
Bunyan's Pilgrim, in a Catholic Context October 8, 2015 at 8:20 PM
Why, if it be as they say, I can drink and whore and defy these now self-made parsons.
I'm not surprised. The same filth and underhanded tactics we have come to expect from Francis and his gang of thugs.
I hope Francis is gone soon....one way or the other.

You are way out of line, pal. Or maybe the GaybriTroll.
Confess. Repent. I'll pray for you, as will anyone reading your diatribe.
Oh dear God in heaven, help us! It's all collapsing! Please God, save us from Pope Francis!

Blah blah blah, Jorge already has the documents and press releases with the "results of the synod" finished and ready to publish as soon as this charade is over. Bring it on Jorge and quit wasting our time so we can declare YOU in schism.


Anything that gets me in close contact with artists/creators and up-close encounters with the natural world. I loved an activity in Cuba focused on a vocal performance by youth and discussion with the artists afterward, a day-long hiking excursion led by a naturalist in hidden meadows in Alaska, a tour of an all-women's paper factory in Dominican Republic that included taking a turn at making paper.

Improving older race sail camber rotation-hacks?
Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2013 1:27 pm Post subject: Improving older race sail camber rotation-hacks?
1) Would replacing the 2 lower inducers (still the hardest to pop) with roller inducers make much of a difference?
2) Would going to 2 softer battens (they are beefy tapered tubes) be a better solution?
Wondering if anyone else has been down this path.
You're definitely not kidding about working with an older sail. Nevertheless, your rotation problem could be related to the bend curve of the mast, or its stiffness. If the mast is out of sync with the requirements of the sail, there's not much that can be done to alleviate the problem.
The mast issue aside, I would recommend contacting Bruce Peterson at Sailworks. If I remember correctly, he was one of the principal designers of Rushwind sails in the late 80s and very early 90s. Given the fact that his loft in Hood River is a full service sail repair facility, he will have an array of different battens, and possibly cambers, to best match up to your sail.
Back a few months ago when you posted about planing through the carve of a jibe but failing to plane out, that wasn't on this particular sail (or another cambered wing with cam rotation problems) was it?
BTW "grantcantsail" is a brilliant handle!
Those old Rushwinds post '89 are some of the best recreational camber sails around, even compared to current stuff.
I still use my early '90's Rushwind 5.7 3 cam, and it matches up to any modern sail in speed, handling, and ease of rotation.
Different sail but all my sails have cambers which is stupid I know. I plan to get a decent handling light sail eventually but in meantime I'm rocking a 8 batten race sail that is kind of hard to water start and heavy.
New mast isn't happening (I fully support the notion that the answer to all windsurfing problems is more gear though-particularly if its bought somewhat at random). I think it fits the sail pretty well in terms of stiffness -its just the diameters were a bit off so that's fixed.
Just wondering is anyone has deliberately messed with their cams and battens to re-tune/de-tune a sail a bit.
While you might not want to spend any money right now, I still think that Bruce Peterson might be able to offer some helpful information. It's definitely worth a phone call.
Yes. My 6.2 one year handled like a brick wall compared to its smaller quiver mates. It had power, but just wouldn't turn and throw abruptly when desired. Puzzled, I took a closer look and found the problem: the damn thing had a CAM in it!.
I yanked that optional piece of crap out of there, threw it in the trash, and got my sail's groove back.
I submit that's the cure for that 8-batten brick wall of yours, too, unless maybe you're trying to win international racing pot of gold (and never fall). Of the many hundreds of sails I've tested, let alone owned, no one stands out in my memory -- and not in a good way -- more than the 1996 Gaastra F-1* 7-batten horror story. It was for pro racers only, IMO, and only if they never dropped it.
* Ironically enough, the giant rocket engine that put man on the moon was called the F-1. That's about what Gaastra's version felt like.
And tweaking batten tension has helped many a sail that wouldn't rotate, or held an S shape.
Hey Ill call Bruce and see what he says. FWIW I have contemplated taking the cams out and was going to try it but ran out of time. It has a huge sleeve so not sure its a great idea.

Home Football EFL 'failed to execute rules' on finance with Bury
EFL 'failed to execute rules' on finance with Bury
Categories: Football | Published by: AC
Bury were expelled from the EFL in August
The Football League has been accused of "failing to execute" its own rules in the demise of Bury earlier this year.
EFL executive chair Debbie Jevans was called to give evidence at the start of a select committee inquiry into football governance.
Damian Collins told Jevans that, in his view, the EFL had not been robust enough in challenging the takeover of Bury for £1 by Steve Dale in 2018.
Jevans said Dale passed the EFL's fit and proper person's test.
But she said he subsequently failed to provide evidence of funding.
"The EFL failed in its duty to execute its own rules," said Collins, the chairman of the Digital Culture Media and Sport select committee.
Jevans defended the EFL's stance.
She said dealing with Dale had been difficult and that he had repeatedly ignored the EFL's correspondence. Then, when he did indicate where the funding for running the club was going to come from, the EFL's own investigations found the sources simply did not exist.
"He complied with owners and directors test as it was written but that was when the problems started," said Jevans. "There was no evidence of funding."
"We want to learn lessons from this. That's why we're having an independent review into this and I don't want to pre-empt or anticipate what the results of that may be."
Jevans said there had been a good deal of "evasiveness" from Dale when the EFL had sought information regarding funding.
"He was in hospital a lot and if someone says that they're in hospital and recovering from cancer, you don't want to say that that's wrong at all," she said.
"There were any number of excuses. He provided evidence of funding, we then investigated what that source of funding was and we found that on every occasion the funding didn't exist and couldn't be backed up."
Jevans told the committee a financial sustainability review was being led by Jonathan Taylor QC, which is likely to result in a strengthening of the EFL's procedures for assessing the suitability of club owners.
"We have to ensure what has happened at Bury is a one-off occurrence and doesn't happen again," she said.
Bury were expelled from the EFL on 27 August are due back in the High Court on 30 October to answer a winding-up petition.
FA chairman Greg Clarke said he had only been formally made aware of the full extent of Bury's situation after the club had gone out of business and that football's regulatory framework kept the organisation at arm's length in dealing with such financial issues.
He told the committee Dale had written to him three weeks ago to say he had been unfairly treated but had subsequently received no response to a request for a meeting.

Alarming rise in bariatric surgeries
21/07/2018 Kabeer Yousuf
MUSCAT, July 21 – The Sultanate has been witnessing an alarming rise in the number of obese youth opting for bariatric surgery in order to lose weight or control diabetes. Obesity is reported to be 20 per cent among men and 36 per cent among women in Oman. The figures, though, are lower than that in other countries of the region. "The number of people going in for bariatric surgeries is certainly on the rise," says Dr Mahmood al Abri, Head of Emergency Medicine, Al Nahda Hospital.
According to him, bariatric surgery causes weight loss by reducing the stomach size, thereby restricting the amount of food entering the stomach. "The surgery is usually performed using minimally invasive techniques known as laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery," says Dr Al Abri.
Dr Nigel Kuriakose, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, says people with metabolic syndromes are on the rise, the prime reason being obesity, lack of exercise and unhealthy lifestyle practices, leading to multiple co-morbidities.
"Finally, the treatment for weight reduction would be bariatric surgery, as it turns out to be an easier alternative for many," he says.
One would need a regular follow-up and some lifestyle modifications after the surgery.
Although there is no official statistics to support the finding, hospitals that the Observer approached have admitted there has been at least a five-per cent increase in the number of bariatric surgeries in the last few years.
"In the past decade or so, bariatric surgery has made rapid strides in providing relief to millions of obese people; there has been an increase in the number of bariatric surgeries that we have conducted in the past few years," says Dr Harikrishnan of a private hospital.
According to him, obese people are likely to suffer from an increased incidence of complications after a surgery.
"The most important complication after bariatric surgery is the leak from operated area of the stomach or intestines."
"This situation needs urgent attention, often in the form of surgical intervention. While every care is taken by operating teams to reduce such a complication, it is seen in a small percentage of patients undergoing such procedures," says Dr Hari.
He says it is important to follow post-operative instructions and report early to the hospital in case of any problems. "Operative site infection, bleeding and occasional hernia at the sites of operation are reported, but they aren't life threatening."
Bariatric surgery is conducted by either restricting the capacity of the stomach by reducing the size of stomach with an implanted medical device (gastric banding) or by removing a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy) or by causing malabsorption of consumed food by diverting ingested food to a portion of small bowel (short limb gastric bypass surgery) or a combination of restrictive and bypass procedures (long limb gastric bypass surgery). Hospitals in Oman and elsewhere offer this procedure to help those for whom obesity has become a "life-altering challenge".
Also on offer are non-operative weight reduction methods like the placement of an intra-gastric balloon.
Bariatric surgery is not just a weight-loss procedure.
It also involves observing standardised surgical methods and follow-up protocols to ensure patients recover well and maintain their weight loss.
Some of the complications of bariatric surgery are dehydration in Type-2 diabetic patients.
They may have difficulty in drinking appropriate quantity of fluids as they adapt to their new gastric volume.
Limitations on oral fluid intake, reduced calorie intake and higher incidence of vomiting and diarrhoea will lead to dehydration.
Type-2 diabetes is a long-term metabolic disorder in which there is resistance to insulin, the naturally produced hormone that controls blood sugar. While Type-2 diabetes may occur regardless of someone's age, gender or body mass, the disease tends to be more severe among the obese.
Because of excess weight, obese individuals develop resistance to insulin.
Professor Dr Guido Mannaerts, who has over 25 years of experience in the field of bariatric surgeries and performed more than 5,000 bariatric procedures, told the Observer that one should "not go for inexperienced hands, but an experienced surgeon who can safely perform the task".
"With experienced hands, the rate of complications is extremely low for bariatric procedures. In the first few months, patients can get a bit tired and experience some temporary hair loss. However, after a few months, patients in almost all cases feel much more energetic and can sleep much better than before the surgery. In almost all cases, the quality of life improves," Dr Mannaerts said.
"Long-term drawback can be some redundant skin due to the weight loss which can be corrected through plastic surgery."
Dr J S Rajkumar, consultant in advanced laparoscopic and metabolic surgery services, Al Hayat International Hospital, says 20 per cent of population in the country will benefit from some kind of weight loss programme, including lifestyle modification, but in many cases bariatric surgery as well.
"The maximum waiting list for the weight loss surgery exists all over the world because the available expertise does not match the demand," he added.

For most of my life I have been researching the many layers of our hidden history. It was in January 2012 that by chance I came across the most incredible book because it connected many unconnected dots in my own research.
These pages have excerts from the book as well as my own research which I offer to you so you can hopefully connect some of your own dots.
There are 4 primary tunnels and further sub tunnels that lead to deeper and bigger places which you will have heard of but with different names.
These rooms were created 50,000 years ago and each is connected to each other, protected by a energy source which actives all as one is activated.
The locations are; Near the Sphinx in Egypt, Baghdad, Mount Kailash in Tibet and the Bucegi Mountains in Romania. The inner tunnels lead to a secret World under the Gobi Plateau in Mongolia and to Antarctica.
This is the original book that started my Bucegi Mountain research. Must read!
This book tells of what they found in the tunnel under the Sphinx in Egypt.

A Twenty-Four-Year-Old man has been arrested after admitting punching his stepson to death. Initially he had said the young boy had drowned at his home in Ubon Ratchathani on Saturday evening.
Police authorities arrested the stepfather on Wednesday after he admitted what really happened.
The stepfather at first told police that his stepson was badly behaving so he punched him in the body and the head, not knowing the injuries would be life threatening.
His deceased body was then taken to hospital afterwards by the young father where he told doctors that his stepson had drowned. Police doubted the cause of his death and investigated, an autopsy revealed he had internal bleeding.
Authorities obtained a warrant for his arrest after they found out this information. The police arrested the stepfather after tracking him down in Tha Raeng area in Bangkok, he's been handed over to Ubon Ratchathani police station where he awaits legal action.


Nick is a Vietnam veteran, who served in the Army. He was diagnosed with PTS in 1985. Along with PTS he suffers from hearing loss and joint problems. He thought he was able to"handle" his PTS until 2014 when his best Nam buddy died from Agent Orange exposure and he could not visit him due to his own health problems at the time causing thoughts of survivor's guilt to resurface. Nick experiences flashbacks, nightmares and bouts of anger and frustration. He stays hypervigilant at times, especially at night.
EMBRY and Nick met in December 2017! EMBRY will assist Nick by alerting him to people walking up behind him, anchoring when he is anxious and behavior/nightmare interruption.
