The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (abbreviation IPO; Hebrew: התזמורת הפילהרמונית הישראלית, ha-Tizmoret ha-Filharmonit ha-Yisra'elit) is an Israeli symphony orchestra based in Tel Aviv. Its principal concert venue is Heichal HaTarbut.
The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was founded as the Palestine Symphony Orchestra by violinist Bronisław Huberman in 1936, at a time of the dismissal of many Jewish musicians from European orchestras.[1] Its inaugural concert took place in Tel Aviv on December 26, 1936, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. Its first principal conductor was William Steinberg.
Its general manager between 1938 and 1945 was Leo Kestenberg, who, like many of the orchestra members, was a German Jew forced out by the rise of Nazism and the persecution of Jews. During the Second World War, the orchestra performed 140 times before Allied soldiers, including a 1942 performance for soldiers of the Jewish Brigade at El Alamein. At the end of the war, it performed in recently liberated Belgium. In 1948, after the creation of the State of Israel, the orchestra was renamed as the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
In 1955, the Orchestra played for Pope Pius XII at the Vatican, in appreciation for the assistance the Pope had given to Jewish victims of Nazism during World War Two.[2]
Particular conductors notable in the history of the orchestra have included Leonard Bernstein and Zubin Mehta. Bernstein maintained close ties with the orchestra from 1947, and in 1988, the IPO bestowed on him the title of Laureate Conductor, which he retained until his death in 1990. Mehta became the IPO's Music Advisor in 1969. The IPO did not have a formal music director, but instead "music advisors", until 1977, when Mehta was appointed the IPO's first Music Director. In 1981, his title was elevated to Music Director for Life.[3] In December 2016, the Israel Philharmonic announced that Mehta is to conclude his tenure as music director as of October 2019.[4] Principal guest conductors of the orchestra have included Yoel Levi and Gianandrea Noseda.
With Mehta, the IPO has made a number of recordings for Decca. With Bernstein, the IPO recorded his own works and works of Igor Stravinsky, for Deutsche Grammophon. The IPO has also collaborated with Japanese composer Yoko Kanno in the soundtrack of the anime Macross Plus.
The initial concerts of the Palestine Orchestra in December 1936, conducted by Toscanini, featured the music of Richard Wagner.[5] However, after the Kristallnacht pogroms in November 1938, the orchestra has maintained a de facto ban on Wagner's work, due to that composer's antisemitism and the association of his music with Nazi Germany.[6]
The Secretary-General of the orchestra is Avi Shoshani. The IPO has a subscriber base numbering 26,000.[7] Commentators have noted the musically conservative tastes of the subscriber base,[8] although the IPO is dedicated to performing new works by Israeli composers, such as Avner Dorman.
Among the orchestra's education initiatives are the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music, a partnership between the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and Tel Aviv University. Created by Zubin Mehta and philanthropist Josef Buchmann to educate orchestral musicians to supply the artistic future of the IPO and other orchestras,[9] the school is located on the university's campus in Tel Aviv and works very closely with the IPO, including orchestral training programs, master classes with IPO guest artists and special concerts at the IPO's halls. Several members of the IPO are BMSM alumni, while various IPO musicians serve as BMSM faculty members.
In 2007, Lahav Shani first appeared with the IPO as guest soloist. Starting in October 2013, he appeared as guest conductor with the orchestra each year. In January 2018, the IPO announced the appointment of Shani as its next music director, effective with the 2020-2021 season, a position he retains as at April 2022.[10][11]
Awards and recognition[edit]
In 1958, the IPO was awarded the Israel Prize, in music, the first time that an organisation received the Prize.[12]

Boycott controversies[edit]
The orchestra's performance in London at The Proms on September 1, 2011 was disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters. The radio broadcast was interrupted, but the concert was broadcast again a few days later.[13] The orchestra's secretary-general Avi Shoshani declared to London's The Times newspaper that the orchestra was unlikely to ever perform in the UK again.[14] Nobody was prosecuted for the disruptions, partly because the management of the Royal Albert Hall, where the concert took place, declined to cooperate with a group of Israel-supporting lawyers.[15]
American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra[edit]
American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra
American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (AFIPO) is a non-profit organization dedicated to sustaining the financial future of the Israel Philharmonic. Necessitated by the lack of substantial Israeli government subsidy or endowment for the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, AFIPO's purpose was crystallized in 1980 through the joint vision of Fredric R. Mann and Zubin Mehta, who created an endowment fund in the United States to ensure the IPO's future. AFIPO seeks to broaden the reach of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and bring its message through music throughout the world. The monies raised by AFIPO are directed towards a fund which assists with the operational support of the orchestra and its musical education programs throughout Israel. Based in New York, the organization cultivates support for the Orchestra by hosting events and encouraging supporters all over North America to contribute to the Israel Philharmonic, a cultural ambassador of the state of Israel.

Fenaka under fire for Addu City power cuts
State utility firm Fenaka has been fiercely criticised for power cuts in Addu City.
Addu City, an atoll comprising six islands with a combined population in excess of 21,000, has been losing power for more than a week after four generators failed.
The power cuts have triggered a probe, with Fenaka managing director Ahmed Shareef and other company officials summoned to appear before a parliamentary committee Wednesday.
Opposition MPs representing Addu city blamed the power crisis as a "failure" on the part of Fenaka and demanded the power station be handed over to STELCO or other companies capable of running it efficiently.
The politicians accused Fenaka of only reacting to short-term problems at the expense of finding a long-term solution to solve the power crisis.
According to regional news website Addu online, a former director of the Fenaka Hithadhoo branch had in fact asked the government to hand over the facility to STELCO.
Shareef defended his company, saying it was seeking funding for the construction of a new and updated power station in Addu. The project would cost USD$25 – 30 million dollars.
Fenaka was working on solving the current power cuts in the meantime, he said.
The company advised locals to avoid appliances that used too much power.
"We've been getting electricity for 20 hours every day for over a week now. We don't know exactly when the power may go off, so it's hard," a 47-year-old man from Hithadhoo told the Maldives Independent.
"When we go to a shop when we need something the most, the shops are closed. Sometimes power goes off an hour before school and then kids can't get ready for school. If you're not home and if the switches are not turned off, electronic devices get damaged when the power comes back on."
A Fenaka official from Addu city told the Maldives Independent that one generator had initially failed, leading to the other three failing.
The official said that two new generators were taken to Addu Wednesday night as an emergency fix.

Republican lawmakers with medical degrees release video urging Americans to get COVID-19 vaccine

WASHINGTON - Several Republican lawmakers with various medical degrees urged Americans to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in a new video — part of a larger, ongoing effort to get more shots in arms as demand sags.
The group of lawmakers, which included former or current doctors, dentists and registered pharmacists, encouraged supporters to get the vaccine in the public service announcement shared Tuesday.
"Now we, the American people, have the opportunity to achieve peace of mind," Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., who is also a urologist, says in the video.
"...And live life as free as before by choosing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine," registered pharmacist, Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., continues in the ad.
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, is pictured in the video encouraging Americans to get vaccinated against the virus. Marshall is also a doctor who practiced as an OB/GYN for more than 25 years, according to his website. (Credit: Dr Roger Marshall via S
The lawmakers go on to tout the safety and effectiveness of the three approved vaccines by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, which are currently being administered in the U.S. They add that the Food and Drug Administration "got the job done" in record time by cutting "bureaucratic red tape — not corners."
"The process was rigorous and transparent, and a process that I personally followed very, very closely," said Rep. Brian Babin, a dentist and Republican lawmaker from Texas.
More than half of American adults (54%) have received at least one vaccine dose, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows. Roughly 37% of adults are vaccinated in the U.S.
The public service announcement by the conservative lawmakers is notable, as polling by Pew Research and other organizations have found somewhat of a partisan difference in vaccine intent.
Pew reported in March that a growing share of Americans said they planned to get the vaccine, but among political parties — Democrats were 27 percentage points more likely to get inoculated against the virus than Republicans (83% to 56%).
At the same time, there's been a marked drop in demand for the shots with some places around the country even needing to turn down shipments due to little interest.
"It is kind of stalling. Some people just don't want it," Stacey Hileman, a nurse with the health department in rural Kansas' Decatur County, told the Associated Press last week. Less than a third of the county's 2,900 residents had received at least one vaccine dose.
The Biden administration is now tasked with finishing the nation's mass vaccination campaign, overcoming lagging demand and communicating in clear terms what activities can be safely resumed by those who are vaccinated.
President Biden Speaks on COVID-19, vaccines and mask mandates
President Biden speaks, moments after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updates its COVID-19 guidelines for children's summer camps.
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden spoke about the CDC's updated guidance, which said fully vaccinated Americans do not need to wear masks outdoors anymore unless they are in a big crowd of strangers.
Unvaccinated people should wear masks at outdoor gatherings that include other unvaccinated people. They also should keep using masks at outdoor restaurants, the agency said.
"This is another reason to go get vaccinated now," Biden said. "Go get the shot. It's never been easier."

Whatever your reasons for having bad credit, we understand that getting a loan can be stressful. At Loans for People With Bad Credit, we work with people on a daily basis who are trying to find the right loan, despite having bad credit.
The important thing to understand is that in most situations, you can get a loan with bad credit. We think it's even more important to get the right loan for you, and to make sure that it fits with your financial situation and doesn't risk getting you into further debt or damaging your credit rating even more.
Wondering how to get a bad credit loan? We can help you.
Firstly, it's important to think about the loan that you're going to get and the reasons why you are getting it. You need to ask yourself whether you can truly afford to get the loan and to pay it back, on time and in full.
If you are in any doubt about whether you can make repayments on a potential loan, you should avoid committing to it. If you already have bad credit, you don't want to risk taking on a loan that will strain you financially and that you may not be able to pay back.
It's important to be patient if the loan is not urgent. It may be beneficial to you to wait until your credit rating has improved slightly, or until you have a more stable income before you apply for bad credit loans.
What are the options for getting bad credit loans?
In many cases, you will need to apply for a loan immediately and you will be doing this with bad credit. Don't panic – there are options for getting bad credit loans, and many of these can be helpful in getting you back on your feet financially in the long-term.
Usually a close friend or family member, a guarantor will guarantee your loan for you. This means that they will make an agreement with the lender that if you default on your loan, they will take on the responsibility of paying it back for you.
Choose your guarantor very carefully, and always make sure that they are happy with their role and that they have sufficient funds that they won't damage their own credit rating if they have to pay back your loan.
This option isn't available to everyone, but it can really help if you're looking for bad credit loans. Having a large down payment or deposit will help you show your potential lender that you can offer them some kind of security on the loan.
A large deposit will also reduce the overall amount that you'll need to borrow on the loan – which then reduces the amount of interest and fees you'll pay in the long run.
If you have bad credit, it's really important that you avoid any unnecessary delays when going through the loan process. Get organised early on and have all documents available for when the lender asks to see them.
You should be able to show proof of identification, proof of address, accurate bank account information, and provide honest and up to date information about your current financial status.
Before you apply for a loan with bad credit, always make sure that you have done some clear calculations and set out a budget for yourself. You don't want to risk being unable to pay back your loan as this could damage your credit rating further.
Figure out what your monthly income and outgoings are, and how much you can realistically afford to spend on paying back your loan each month. Never stretch yourself financially and only borrow what you can afford to pay back.
Some people with bad credit may have assets that they can use as collateral against a loan – this is generally referred to as a secured loan. Secured loans can include borrowing against assets such as your car or your home. This can help your lender to view you as lower risk.
You need to be totally sure that you'll be able to pay back your loan if you choose to take out a secured loan. If you default on payments or are unable to pay back the full amount, you could risk having your assets repossessed and your credit rate worsening.
We want to help you get a loan with bad credit. We understand that there may be a number of reasons why you have bad credit and we think that everyone deserves a second chance.
Don't just wonder how to get a bad credit loan, get the process started today. Find out how we can help you with the entire bad credit loans process.

At Holt, it is our aim for the school grounds and our local environment to be used as a context for learning across the curriculum. There is strong evidence that good quality learning outside the classroom adds much value to classroom learning. It can lead to a deeper understanding of the concepts that span traditional subject boundaries and which are frequently difficult to teach effectively using classroom methods alone. As we continue to develop a more creative, skills-based and enjoyable approach to the curriculum, the great outdoors offers us a multitude of opportunities for learning.
Educational visits and visitors to the school play a key part in enhancing our curriculum work. Year 5/6 children have the opportunity to participate in a residential visit lasting a week during term time.
There is a changing programme of after-school clubs each term which include a range of sporting, artistic, music, drama and dance as well as gardening, cookery, environmental and ICT clubs. The details of these are always sent out to parents in advance of a new term.

Anniken Hauglie is Norway's new Minister of Labour and Social Affairs
Dato: Dec 17, 2015 | Text and photo: Björn Lindahl
Prime Minister Erna Solberg changed party colours at one of the most important ministries when Norway got a new Minister of Labour and Social Affairs - Anniken Hauglie from the Conservative Party.
The government reshuffle is the first since Norway's Conservative Party and the Progress Party came to power just over two years ago. Three ministers had to go while four new people got ministerial posts.
"We have wanted for a long time to take charge of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, which is particularly important in a time of rising unemployment. The Minister of Labour and the Minister of Trade will work together to fight unemployment," said Erna Solberg as she introduced the new government ministers.
15,000 oil industry jobs have disappeared since the right-wing government came to power, and a further 30,000 will go in the near future, according to Statistics Norway.
Anniken Hauglie has a lot of political experience, but mostly from the Oslo city council where she served as Commissioner for social services and later Commissioner for knowledge and education. But she has also been a political advisor in the now defunct Ministry of Social Affairs, before in was integrated into the Ministry of Labour.
Immigration and integration under one minister
The other major change is Sylvi Listhaug, who was Minister of Agriculture and who now has been given responsibility for both immigration and integration politics. She comes from the Progress Party and has been in many confrontations with farmers. She will now be one of two ministers at the Ministry of Justice.
Anders Anundsen, the government minister who has come in for the harshest criticism from the opposition and the government's two supporting parties, will stay on as Minister of Justice. He has made it a priority to repatriate children without parents who have been applying for asylum, despite a deal with the two supporting parties, the Liberals and and the Christian Democrats, to allow more asylum children to stay. Anundsen will still be responsible for the police, the courts and public security.
During the 2015 local elections the Progress Party leader Siv Jensen encouraged municipalities to say no to accepting more refugees. Since that time the number of refugees arriving in Norway has risen sharply and 14,000 refugees must now be housed.
"Will you advise the new Minister of Immigration and Integration to say the same thing to municipalities today? That they should refuse to accept more refugees?," the state broadcaster NRK asked Siv Jensen after the press conference announcing the government reshuffle.
"What I wanted to highlight during the election was that this is a municipal issue. Municipalities themselves should make the decision as to what they want to do, together with state support for integration, answered Siv Jensen.
The Progress Party's deputy leader, Per Sandberg, is the new Minister of Fisheries. He has been known for putting his own party's programme first rather than following the joint decisions of the coalition government. As a result he has spoken out against decisions made by the government.
"I have full confidence that Per Sandberg understands the different role he now has as a member of the government," said Prime Minister Erna Solberg.

In recent years the physics of disordered systems has been one of the most active and fruitful areas of research in condensed matter science. In contrast to the considerable attention paid by conferences, schools and workshops to the static and structural aspects of glasses, there has been no forum devoted primarily to the dynamic and energetic aspects of amorphous solids. The NATO Workshop on Coherence and Energy Transfer in Glasses was organized to address this deficiency. The intent was to bring together in an intense and interactive environment, experts in several rather disparate subfields relating to the dynamics and energetics of disordered systems. This volume represents the Proceedings of that Workshop, which took place in September 1982 at Clare College of Cambridge University. Forty-three scientists from eight NATO countries participated. These included representatives from universities and industrial laboratories, as well as government research institutions. The meeting was organized into eight formal sessions and one informal session devoted entirely to unstructured discussion. Each formal session featured two comprehensive lectures. An additional 60 to 90 minutes was devoted in each session to discussions and contributions related to the lectures. Since only about 60% of the session time was devoted to formal presentations, the discussions formed an equally important part of the workshop. The chairmen and discussion leaders - as well as the workshop participants themselves - brought forth lively and illuminating discussions for each session.

Volleyverse / Volleyball Fun / What if pro volleyball players were cast as Haikyuu characters?
What if pro volleyball players were cast as Haikyuu characters?
The volleyball anime series, Haikyuu!!, has been taking the internet by storm in recent years. With volleyball influencers like Victoria Garrick and Sarah Pavan reacting to episodes and fans around the world loving the show's characters, Haikyuu!! manga has caught the attention of the world.
The volleyball anime show follows the story of the Karasuno High School men's volleyball team. With new fiery first-years coming in and experienced upperclassmen, the team must adapt and work together to become a force on the court and win against unlikely opponents. The Haikyuu!! characters have such unique personalities and playing styles, and end up becoming a close-knit group of not only teammates, but friends.
Here at Volleyverse, we wanted to put together a team of professional international men's volleyball players that would most closely resemble the Karasuno players in the volleyball anime show. So we picked volleyball stars from all around the world that most closely resemble the Karasuno starters in terms of skill level and attitude, and we cast them in the roles of the main Haikyuu!! characters.
Pro volleyball players cast in volleyball anime as Haiykuu characters
Tobio Kageyama
Simone Giannelli
Let's start with the hothead, young setter. Tobio Kageyama came to Karasano as a first-year and as an enemy of the small and enthusiastic, Shōyō Hinata. Kageyama is tall for a setter and edged out the older setter for the starting position early in the season due to his phenomenal skills.
Simone Giannelli fits this role perfectly because Giannelli is making big waves right now on the Italian national team. He's a young player and relatively taller than setters on other teams standing at 200cm. He's a very instinctual player, as is Kageyama, with his sets landing perfectly in the hands of hitters whether it's a quick back set or a lob to the outside.
There is buzz around Giannelli as the Olympics approach and his skills can really be tested as he goes head-to-head against the older and more experienced setters. Plus, Giannelli is gearing up to be the main character in his own illustrated comic where he talks about the sport of volleyball and how he became the player he is today.
Shōyō Hinata
Jakub Kochanowski
Next up is the ball of energy who has an undying passion for the sport, Shōyō Hinata. Hinata is a very unique player in the sense that he plays the middle blocker position, but is not super tall. He can jump out of the gym and with a good setter placing the right balls, Hinata's hits are unstoppable.
For his real-life doppelganger, we chose Jakub Kochanowski, a middle blocker for the Polish men's national volleyball team. Both players have the signature red hair to match their fiery passion for the sport. They are also both not the tallest middles in the game with Kochanowski standing at 199cm, which believe it or not, is not super tall in middle standards.
Along with their similar physical attributes, these young players also have similar playing styles. They both find holes in the opposing blockers' wall and their huge verticals and hard swings allow them to find the floor on the other side in a seamless manner. With their ability to execute any hit off of a quick set and also fake out the opposing blockers, Hinata and Kochanowski are both small but mighty forces to have in the middle position.
Yuki Ishikawa
Asahi Azumane is an upperclassman who had trouble with confidence after playing in a game where he couldn't find his way around the block. Yet, he's encouraged to come back to the team and starts living up to his title of the Ace once again with almost every hit finding the floor or at least finding its way through the block. For his real world casting choice, we went with Yuki Ishikawa from the Japan National Team.
Both Ishikawa and Azumane are strong players, producing a big presence at the net. And just like with Azumane, if you put the ball somewhere close to Ishikawa's hands, he will find the floor. They are both dependable hitters and can hit through a block as well as around it. Just like Azumane has the title of the Ace, Ishikawa has earned the same title on his team.
Yū Nishinoya
Thales Hoss
Thales Hoss is one of the best liberos in the world right now. Nothing hits the ground when he is on the court, whether it's spikes, blocks or tips. And with Yū Nishinoya being one of the best libero in the show, it's only fair to put Hoss as his casting choice. Both liberos have impeccable skills and quick reaction times.
They have the same playing style where they aren't afraid of the ball at all and will throw themselves on the ground to get every single ball up. If someone shanks the ball 15 meters off the court, these liberos are sprinting after it to get it back in play. When it comes to blocking defense, these guys can clean up anything and everything.
Ryūnosuke Tanaka
Earvin N'Gapeth
Not only do these guys look alike with their signature buzz cuts, but they also have the same intense attitudes. When you watch Ryūnosuke Tanaka play in the show, he's always talking some smack to the other team and getting fired up. If you watch Earvin N'Gapeth play for the French national team, he's always talking back to players across the net when he hits a good shot which tends to get on the opposing team's nerves.
In the show, Tanaka has to be stopped from getting in multiple fights because of his unstable demeanor and N'Gapeth has a history of fights that have prevented him from playing volleyball at certain points in his career. Though when they are on the court, each of these guys are massive assets on the outside with their hitting abilities and their explosive jumping.
Kei Tsukishima
Maxwell Holt
Kei Tsukishima makes a grand appearance in the show with not only how tall he is, but how well he can read hits and make blocks. He's a bit stuck up at points but is able to teach his teammate Hinata how to read the hits as well as him.
Maxwell Holt would fit this role perfectly because not only do they both have the signature blond hair, but they've also made big impacts on their teams with their blocking. Holt and Tsukishima are also really smart blockers. Holt is very skilled at the solo block and is very quick to read the hitter, stuffing them each time.
Agree with our choices for Haikyuu!!'s manga characters?
Now it's time to hear from you! We made our picks for these quintessential characters in Haikyuu!!, but do you think we should've chosen different players to be cast? Let us know in on Twitter or Facebook which player you would cast in these roles, or characters you think we missed.

Amazon Quiz (29th October 2021): 3rd October is celebrated as the unity day in which country? (On this day in 1990 the eastern and the western blocs of a country became one)
Written By:Kartik
Updated: October 28, 2021 06:24:53
Answer: Germany
German Unity Day is a public holiday in Germany that is
observed on October 3rd. It celebrates the unification of Germany in 1990 when
the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic
Republic merged to form a single German state for the first time
since 1945. Since 1990, when Germany's reunification was finally achieved, the
3rd of October has been the German National Holiday.
An alternate date for commemorating the reunification may
have been 9 November 1989, which also happened to be the anniversary of the
German Republic's declaration in 1918 and the defeat of Hitler's first coup
attempt in 1923. However, because the 9th of November was the anniversary of
the first large-scale Nazi-led pogroms against Jews in 1938 (Kristallnacht),
the day was deemed unfit for a national holiday. As a result, the "Day of German Unity" on 17 June,
the Federal Republic of Germany's national holiday since 1954, was replaced by
3 October 1990, the day of the formal reunification.
Every year, the Day of German Unity is commemorated with a formal event as well as a citizens' celebration.

People v. Confidential 1152
26th & California, Chicago
A woman reported that she saw a person break into her car and then she chased the person but he got away. Then a week later, while working at an election voting location she saw Mr. S and told police that he was the perpetrator. At trial, Attorney Levinsohn called witnesses to the stand to prove that our client was not in the area of the woman's car at the time of the burglary. The court found Mr. S NOT GUILTY.
Oak Park police officers responded to an armed robbery near the Tasty Dog. Later they arrested Mr. W-S for participating with three other people in an armed robbery. Attorney Levinsohn used witness interviews to convince the state's attorney that Mr. W-S left Tasty Dog and went directly home and did not participate in the robbery and had no knowledge of the robbery even after some of the perpetrators arrived at Mr. W-S's apartment. The case was Dismissed.

Ms. G and her two cousins were charged with robbing a pizza deliveryman. Prior to the robbery she was standing outside with her cousins and joked about robbing a pizza deliveryman who was across the street. Two of her cousins decided to go across the street and commit the robbery. Afterward she ran. At trial I presented case law that showed that just making a joke about a robbery is not enough to be held accountable for the crime. The court agreed after a hearing on a motion to reconsider. Finding of Not Guilty.

HomeHealth CareMercy Hospital Joplin Named Top Hospital by National Watchdog Group
Mercy Hospital Joplin Named Top Hospital by National Watchdog Group
Mercy Joplin one of only 149 honored nationwide and only four in the state
December 7, 2021 Erin Slifka Health Care 0
(Joplin, MO) — Out of more than 2,000 hospitals surveyed, Mercy Hospital Joplin was among fewer than 150 to be named a Top Hospital by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization.
Mercy was the only area hospital to receive the award, and along with other Mercy Hospitals, Jefferson, South, and St. Louis were the only four to be named a Top Hospital in the state.
"During the past two years, it would have been easy to let some of our standards slide because of the demands of a pandemic on our community," said Jeremy Drinkwitz, president of Mercy Hospital Joplin. "But even under the unrelenting pressure of COVID and all its twists and turns, our co-workers consistently provided exceptional care to our patients. They were resilient in the toughest of times, and because of their commitment and grit, we were recognized as one of the nation's top hospitals. This honor is evidence of the commitment our co-workers have to their profession, to each other and to our patients to provide the best care possible, even as the entire world faces a pandemic."
The Leapfrog Group evaluates hospitals across the country based on more than 30 performance measures, including errors, injuries, accidents and infections, and the systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm to their patients.
Out of more than 2,200 hospitals considered for the designation — including children's, teaching, rural and general hospitals — only 149 earned the Top Hospital nod.
The Top Hospital honor comes on the heels of Mercy Joplin earning an "A" grade from The Leapfrog Group for patient safety in its Fall 2021 grades.
"We are pleased to recognize Mercy Hospital Joplin as a Top Hospital this year," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "Even with the continued strain of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mercy has demonstrated an extraordinary dedication to excellent health care in the Joplin community. We congratulate the board, leadership, staff and clinicians who put their patients first."
To qualify for the Top Hospitals distinction, hospitals must rank highest among peers on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on standards for quality and patient safety. To see the full list of institutions honored as 2021 Top Hospitals, visit leapfroggroup.org/tophospitals.
About The Leapfrog Group
Founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers, The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey and new Leapfrog Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) Survey collect and transparently report hospital and ASC performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Leapfrog's other main initiative, assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety, helping consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents and infections.
About Mercy
Mercy, named one of the top five large U.S. health systems for four consecutive years by IBM Watson Health, serves millions annually. Mercy is one of the nation's most highly integrated, multi-state health care systems, including more than 40 acute care, managed and specialty (heart, children's, orthopedic and rehab) hospitals, convenient and urgent care locations, imaging centers and pharmacies.

CA park visitors noticed 'Do not report fires' signs while witnessing a non-monitored roadside fire
By James Lambert
Two weeks ago while visiting Yosemite National Park, my wife and I were stunned to discover a new fire where there were posted signs on the road "Do not report." Roadside tourists and observers noticed that there were no helicopters or planes present in the area. None were to be seen in and around this remote area of Yosemite National Park. Just 3 hours earlier (while passing this same area) there was no evidence of fires whatsoever.
What intensified our suspicion of what was going on was about 5-10 minutes later we driving on route 120 I found a fire that was along the side of the road. Yet THERE WERE NO FEDERAL OR STATE FIRE AGENTS present. Still there was again a sign posted on the road to "not report this fire."
Surprisingly this was the same afternoon when President Trump was to visit California Governor Jerry Brown and (2019) Governor elect Gavin Newsome for a plane trip to observe fires in Northern California and Southern California. Apparently the state of California is requesting a huge federal fund compensation for the damage caused by these fires.
Again, both fires we observed, first hand, we did not observe the presence of any fire agents. We were there at the roadside and there were no fire agents to be found. How strange?

By 1990 Lambert received his Master in Business Administration from National University (San Diego). For 3 years, Lambert also taught Finance at Mira Costa Community College.
By late 1997, Lambert released his first book, "Porn in America" (Huntington House Publishers). Over the course of the next few years the author made a number of national media appearances that included: The O'Reilly Factor (FNC), BBC morning news, Hardcopy (Paramount Pictures), FNC's Morning News, the 700 Club (the Family Channel), the TBN network, 100 Huntley Street (Canada) and numerous affiliates of CBS, NBC & ABC television.
From 1998 to 2000, James worked as a loan sales agent under the guidance of a respected RE loan veteran, Ken Terrill. By 2000, Lambert started his own company, James L. Lambert Loans. He successfully operated this company until 2009 when he began working on doing research for his new book. By February of 2012, James released his second book, "16 Amazing Stories of Divine Intervention" (Xulon Press). With the release of his second book, Lambert has made guest appearances in 17 states. He still plans on traveling around the country (in 2014) telling audiences, viewers and (radio) listeners about some of the remarkable stories in his new book.

Thirty-six students sit at 10 tables in a chemistry classroom at El Cerrito High. A new United Teachers of Richmond contract with West Contra Costa Unified caps core classes in middle and high schools at this amount.
As a way to stem high teacher turnover, one San Francisco Bay Area district has taken a daring leap to boost teacher salaries and address escalating housing costs that drive teachers away.
But the pay raises come with potential risk, as the West Contra Costa Unified school district will have to cut from some programs and find other savings to pay for the $37 million in salary increases for all employees over three years.
The pay raises, which also include salary boosts for non-teaching staff such as administrators, secretaries and bus drivers, commit the district to drastic cuts through 2020-21 that the board has not yet identified.
The Contra Costa County Office of Education warned that the district could be unable to pay for the raises if it continued deficit-spending. To ensure that the district could afford the union contracts, the board agreed to adopt a resolution requiring it to identify spending cuts in 2019-20 and 2020-21 that would show it will have enough money to pay for the increases.
"It is our expectation that this and any future salary settlements will include expenditure reductions necessary to maintain a balanced budget without structural deficits for the current and two subsequent fiscal years," wrote Bill Clarke, the county office of education's associate superintendent of business and administrative services in a letter to the district.
Teachers are slated to get a 17 percent boost through 2020, which includes a 5 percent raise that began in March. The substantial hike will increase the salary of a beginning teacher from $44,152.20 before the March raises to $50,921.72 by July 1, 2020. It also puts West Contra Costa teachers at the top of the teacher pay scale in Contra Costa County over the next three years for beginning teachers with 30 additional educational units, as well as for more experienced teachers.
The higher pay is just one part of a district strategy to attract and keep teachers. Other features include four days of intensive training for all new teachers before school begins and the possible development of new housing for teachers and other employees on surplus property.
"Our efforts to increase compensation and find solutions to the housing challenges are among the solutions we believe will be most effective to recruit and retain the most highly qualified educators for our students," said Superintendent Matthew Duffy.
The teachers' contract also includes caps on class sizes, more paid time for teachers to collaborate on lessons and a more generous maternity/parental leave program in the district, which serves about 28,000 students in Richmond and surrounding communities.
Board President Valerie Cuevas said district leaders are allocating more discretionary money to schools, giving them greater spending autonomy. This means the board may cut some programs it has paid for districtwide – such as the Playworks recess program and Graduate Tutors – but individual sites could still fund them.
The board made these budget tradeoffs to prioritize "investment in people," Cuevas said.
The salary increases are part of a larger plan aimed at keeping 80 percent of teachers for five years or more by 2022. District leaders see a stable teaching force as a way to improve student achievement, which is far below state averages on standardized tests.
To reach the teacher retention goal, school board members on June 27 approved a "Roadmap 2022" that includes five areas of focus for staff: competitive compensation, extra support for new teachers, exploring the development of employee housing, cutting down on duplication in programs or services and launching a "Teach West Contra Costa" website and social media campaign to attract more teachers.
To enable more teachers and other staff members to live in the district, the board also agreed to continue exploring the idea of converting surplus property into workforce housing. The district hired a commercial real estate firm to evaluate four district-owned properties to determine whether they would be appropriate development sites. After DCG Strategies determined that two sites warranted further study, the board directed the firm to continue analyzing their suitability for district-developed rental housing or sale to an outside developer to raise money for workforce housing.
A district survey returned by about 25 percent of staff reveals that 70 percent of employees who are renters have considered leaving the district due to high housing costs and 62 percent are interested in living in a district-owned rental unit at below market rents.
Of those renters, 51 percent pay more than 35 percent of their incomes toward rent, including 12 percent who pay more than 55 percent of their income to rent.
The district has also partnered with a San Francisco-based for-profit startup company called Landed to provide down payment assistance to employees, which must eventually be repaid. And Duffy has testified in Sacramento in support of AB 2788 by Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, D-Richmond, which would help establish a California School Employee Housing Assistance Grant Program.
The district's added support for new teachers includes four days of in-depth training before school begins that helps educators "prepare for the rigors of the year," according to a board presentation on teacher retention earlier this year. The district has also created a "new teacher collaborative" that meets monthly and offers two one-day workshops throughout the year on topics of interest to the group.
Cuevas said the programs are aimed at helping teachers feel welcome and connected to the district. In addition, she said the district is focusing more attention on "school culture and climate" to help build inviting environments for teachers that will encourage them to stay.
The district's strategy to attract and keep teachers seems to be paying off. Already, teacher retention appears to be "really much stronger going into next year," Duffy said during the June 27 board meeting. Pleased by the progress Duffy has made in shifting district priorities since he was hired two years ago, the board unanimously extended his contract through June 30, 2021 and gave him a $5,000 a year raise based on his "above satisfactory" job performance.
Demetrio Gonzalez, president of United Teachers of Richmond, and teacher Jesus Galindo said they have seen a "culture shift" in the district that includes more teamwork and the encouragement of new ideas to meet students' needs. But Gonzalez said at the June 27 board meeting that teachers need more training in dealing with behavior issues related to child trauma to help students who are foster youth, or who have experienced violence or other traumatic incidents.
Galindo, who just finished his fifth year teaching in the district at Lincoln Elementary, said he is committed to "creating a counter-narrative in Richmond" that contradicts the negative perceptions some people hold about the abilities of low-income, children of color to achieve.
Jesus Galindo, 27, has taught in West Contra Costa Unified for five years.
The only way to improve students' education, Galindo said, is for teachers to keep coming back each year, sharing their expertise with each other and improving their own abilities. At Lincoln, he said teachers now work as a team and turnover has dropped from 17 educators leaving after his first year to virtually the entire staff planning to return next year.
Galindo said he appreciates the raises and saved up enough money to purchase a home 5 minutes away from his school, which has enabled him to become part of the community and to feel more connected to his students and their families. Because he is now spending more than 33 percent of his income on housing, Galindo said he doesn't own a car and rarely buys new clothes.
Union members overwhelmingly approved the contract with 85 percent voting in favor, Gonzalez said, adding that teachers feel especially fortunate to get such large increases – which will put them at top salary ranges in Contra Costa County over the next three years – while unions in other parts of the state including nearby Oakland are having trouble negotiating pay raises.
"Most people seemed very happy with the deal," Gonzalez said.
Comparison data provided by the union shows that first-year West Contra Costa teachers with 30 additional educational units earned $47,485 annually before the most recent raises – 6th from the bottom countywide. With the new raise, that salary will jump to $52,452.95 for 2018 (second from the top), then to top in the county at $55,107 in 2020-21. Similarly, the highest salaries at the maximum level for veteran teachers with master's degrees will rise from $90,000 before the raises to nearly $103,800 by 2020, also top in the county.
Love your info to compare with LAUSD here in the south! Awesome!
Todd, I agree that starting salary should be the highest priority for attracting teachers (and recent changes to the contract have prioritized starting salary over experienced teachers), but increasing the pay of experienced teachers is important for retention, as well. Most school districts allow you to bring some experience with you (I've seen as much as 10 years), so there has to be some financial incentive for experienced teachers to stay. No data is presented in this article that suggests that retention is a problem, except the anecdote of 17 teachers leaving Lincoln Elementary in one year — that's probably more than half of the staff. The retention problem in WCCUSD, however, has been pretty well-documented via exit surveys and other sources.
The article focuses mainly on the county, but current employees will consider school districts throughout the Bay Area. When I first began teaching in this district, I could have increased my salary by $30,000 by heading to the peninsula. With this new adjustment, a starting teacher would increase their salary by $18,000 making the same move, so the situation for beginning teachers has increased dramatically in the last decade-and-a-half.
The yearly salary increases that Todd mentions, which we call step increases, average 2% over 27 years, or 1% over 40 years, with the bulk of the largest increases (3-4%) occurring within the first 7 years of teaching. Guess your private industry 3% is looking a little better, now. By the way, these large increases are very recent. At the beginning of my career, the union was lucky to negotiate a 1.5% raise to the contract.
In the middle years, (13-21 years), increases are essentially non-existent. The last increase occurs in the 28th year of teaching, so for teachers, like myself, who plan to teach 40 years, we will get no increase for the last decade or so of our career.
Average teacher's pay isn't really a meaningful tool for comparison, when viewed in isolation, because it is largely a function of experience level. I do, however, like the idea of keeping the average pay the same, but changing the distribution. I'd rather the state set the salaries, rather than local districts. The wealthier districts don't need to pay as much to attract talent, so the state could redistribute the wealth to lower-income areas without changing the overall cost to the state.
So … while I agree with the sentiment you've shared, I don't think much of it applies to this scenario.
Notice this is a plan to "attract" teachers, but the vast majority of the spending is going to be on raising salaries for existing employees.
Certainly that may help retain employees, but of course no data is presented that indicates there's a problem with turnover – and my own experience in my own district indicates turnover is hardly an issue in any school district.
The key to attracting teachers would indeed be to raise the starting pay – which, from the step-and-column schedules I've seen, is often too low.
Another fundamental fact missing from this article – and others like it – is the fact that this starting pay is determined by the union – not by the district. The union can negotiate whatever starting rate it wants, all the district is concerned about is the overall cost of the contract.
If their contract is anything like all the others I've seen, it contains regular pay raises for teachers beginning at year 2 and continuing through to at least year 20. Those raises are typically anything from 2.5 to 4%, which means a "5% raise to the contract" is in reality a 7.5 to 9% raise to the teacher for that year.
Nice work if you can get it, right? Particularly for those of us in private industry who are often struggling to pay our taxes to support those raises, and we often get raises more like 3% per year….
Starting pay? If you examine the step and column schedule, you usually see an outsized bump in the last raise in the schedule – often at least double what the normal average raise is – 6% or more.
The union could easily cut that last raise down to the normal average for the term of the contract and, since that's a percentage of a pay rate that is often double the starting rate, they could give a huge bump to starting teachers – without spending a penny extra of the money allocated to educating our kids.
I don't live in Contra Costa County, but I welcome anyone who does to take a look at the state J90 form to find out what your district's teachers actually make – on average – and check Transparent California to see what administrators make.
But, no. Most districts would rather take the money from actual services to actual kids than ask their employees to "make do" with the same raise rates that you and I get, or the same retirement benefits….

Home NYC Teams New York Knicks
New York Knicks make slew of roster moves ahead of free agency
Elsa/Getty Images
On Thursday, the New York Knicks cut a few players, declined a couple of team options, made a trade, and signed an undrafted rookie.
NBA free agency is set to open at 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday night and the New York Knicks have upwards of $40 million in cap space to spend. How did they get here? Well, on Thursday, they made a number of roster moves to clear out space.
Let's take a look at the moves president Leon Rose made on the eve of his first free agency.
Knicks Waive 4 Players
The Knicks announced in a press release on Thursday that they were waiving four players — Wayne Ellington, Elfrid Payton, Taj Gibson, and Kenny Wooten. None of these moves were all that surprising, especially when we consider the money involved for the three veterans.
Wayne Ellington was brought in as a three-point specialist, but he struggled to find a rhythm with inconsistent minutes. He finished the year shooting at a 35% clip from deep, but that number hovered around 30% for much of the season. The veteran guard was signed to a two-year, $16 million contract with only $1 million in guaranteed money this season.
Elfrid Payton came to the Knicks on the same exact deal as Ellington. The Knicks needed a stopgap at point guard and Payton provided them with exactly that. However, with Immanuel Quickley coming aboard and the Knicks potentially looking at Fred VanVleet or other point guards in free agency, this was the end of the line for Payton.
Taj Gibson was signed to a two-year, $20 million deal, but much like Payton and Ellington, he only had $1 million in guaranteed money on the second year. The veteran big man served as a mentor for Mitchell Robinson. The two were often paired together for skill work in practice and Gibson was one of the most vocal leaders in the locker room without a doubt.
Kenny Wooten getting cut might be the biggest surprise of the four here. He never made it onto the floor for the New York Knicks, but he was electric for the Westchester Knicks. The bouncy big man was named to the 2019-20 G League All-Defensive Team, but that was not enough to keep him in the fold with the new regime.
Knicks Decline 2 Team Options
The Knicks had to decide on two players with team options for the 2020-21 season — Bobby Portis and Theo Pinson. They declined the options on both players.
Bobby Portis was the only Knick to play in all 66 games this season. The forward is not a perfect player by any stretch, but he found a role as the power forward on the second unit. Although he struggles to defend the perimeter and isn't much of a rim protector, he provides floor spacing on offense with his 36% shooting from three.
There are some murmurs that the Knicks might want to bring Portis back on a different contract, but they did not want to pay the almost $16 million that would come with picking up the club option.
Theo Pinson never had the chance to dance on the MSG sidelines in a Knicks uniform. After the Brooklyn Nets cut Pinson during the shutdown, the Knicks picked him up, but his tenure in orange and blue was over before it started.
Trade for Ed Davis
Prior to this deal, there was some reason to believe that the Knicks would bring Taj Gibson back on a different contract. Mitchell Robinson was the only center on the roster and signing a veteran to back him up made the most sense.
But it looks like Ed Davis is going to be that veteran backup. It's still unclear what the Knicks gave up to get Davis, but he's coming to New York along with two second-round picks in 2023.
The Utah Jazz are trading Ed Davis and two 2023 second-round picks to the New York Knicks, sources tell @WindhorstESPN and me.
No Qualifying Offer for Damyean Dotson
And just like that, the longest-tenured player on the roster is gone. Damyean Dotson was drafted in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft along with Frank Ntilikina. The Knicks chose not to extend Dotson a qualifying offer so he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Through three years of inconsistent playing time, Dotson averaged 7.8 points per game on 41.9/36.1/72.1 shooting splits. He could heat up from the outside in a hurry and was a decent defender. Dotson could definitely latch on somewhere else.
Here Comes Seton Hall's Myles Powell
Hometown hero Myles Powell is staying local after signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Knicks. The Seton Hall product should have an opportunity to make the final roster, whether that is with the Knicks or on a two-way contract remains to be seen.
Either way, the worst-case scenario for Powell is that he does not make the Knicks and he can sign with Westchester with a nice bonus due to the Exhibit 10 deal.
Powell went undrafted despite the fact that he was a consensus All-American and the Big East Player of the Year with Seton Hall last season. He could have benefited from a deep NCAA Tournament run, but coronavirus put a stop to that.
After signing Powell and drafting Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin, the Knicks have the Big East Player of the Year, SEC Player of the Year, and National Player of the Year coming into camp.
For more on Powell, check out our pre-draft breakdown of the local product.
What's Next for the Knicks?
Free agency officially opens up at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, but teams can only talk to players and form verbal agreements. Most players cannot put pen to paper until noon on Sunday.
There are multiple holes that Rose and his front office need to fill. For one, they need to add dead-eye shooters to provide floor spacing. Surrounding RJ Barrett, Obi Toppin, and Mitchell Robinson with shooters is the best way to maximize their development.
After that, the Knicks could use another point guard on the roster. For now, the only options at the position are Quickley, Ntilikina, and Dennis Smith Jr. A bonafide starting point guard would take some pressure off Quickley and it would likely mean that Ntilikina is officially shifting to a secondary ballhandler role.
One name to keep an eye on is Gordon Hayward. The former All-Star opted out of his deal with the Boston Celtics and there are rumblings that he could be destined for Madison Square Garden.
