After another long season of European soccer, we again have arrived at arguably it's most important day.
Yup that's right folks, we have arrived at the Champions League Final.
It's going to a matchup of David vs. Goliath as an upstart Liverpool team face off against a Real Madrid team who seem to play well in the Champions League these days. If Carlo Ancelotti is hailed as a "knockout specialist" when it comes to managing teams to trophies, Real Madrid should be regarded in a similar way. Los Blancos are entering into this match and could walk away with their 3rd straight Champions League title. It's an amazing accomplishment but Liverpool are looking to spoil the party. After upsetting England's best team in Manchester City in the quarterfinals, it looked as if Jurgen Klopp's side were a team on destiny. Led by the Premier League's best player in Mo Salah, Liverpool's potent attack has dissected opposing defenses left and right. They are one of the scariest teams offensively in all of Europe and combine it with Real Madrid's front three, we are in for some fireworks in Kiev.
For this preview, we are going to do something a little bit different. Instead of just telling how both of these teams got here, we are going to take a look at some of the biggest storylines heading into the match. Let's go.
Jurgen Klopp reportedly said the weakness in Real Madrid's defense is the left back in Marcelo. While Klopp is technically wrong in doubting the rate at which both Real Madrid fullbacks can get up and down the pitch. Not to mention how good Casemiro has been at eating up space left vacated around him. While it might not look like it, Real Madrid have been a pretty cohesive unit at the back and when the going gets tough, they come up with timely blocks.
But Klopp's also right in that against Bayern Munich, Joshua Kimmich scored two goals from the left side of the Real Madrid defense which is suppose to be Marcelo's area. You need a winger who has a lot of pace and can keep it up for 90 minutes against Marcelo. Many times we see wingers with more technical skills get eaten by Marcelo cause he can always beat them to their spots while also zooming right past them in attack.
So it will be interesting to see if Salah can be the man to break Marcelo. He certainly has the pace and all it takes is one overstep from Marcelo and Salah is zooming right past him.
How much will Real Madrid's midfield dominate?
If there ever was a huge gap in talent when looking at these two teams on paper, it has to be when you look at the two midfields of the teams. Even at their old age, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric will run the show in this match. Compare that to the midfield Liverpool will likely throw out (Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum) and it's tough to see the Reds really controlling the match.
However if Liverpool is able to press just right and make life uncomfortable for Kroos, it could lead to some chances on the other end. Force Kroos to move the ball quicker than he likes and don't give Modric the space to run around and find killer passes to fire between your backline. It's a lot more easier said than done. I don't know if the Liverpool midfield is up for that challenge.
Can Liverpool's back line control Ronaldo?
While it's fair to question Madrid's back line at times, it's also valid to look at Liverpool's defense in the same lens. Real Madrid have seemed to get a lot of contributions out of their attackers, but as always, everything still goes through Cristiano Ronaldo. And with this being a final, you would expect him to show up.
He did against Juventus, scored the winning penalty against Atletico, and will probably give Virgil Van Dijk nightmares in this game. Ronaldo typically shows up in this game so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get on the score sheet. The only hope for Liverpool is to hopefully force him to take long distance shots and miss some sitters. Because given Liverpool's defense, he's going to get a chance and there is an even greater chance he takes it.
I really want to say Liverpool has a chance in this match but this Madrid team was built for matches like this. If Klopp and company even want a chance in this match, they are going to need to strike early and often. Salah and Mane need to make life crazy for the defenses. But I don't think this will happen. Real Madrid are too powerful.


Imagine the complicated lineage of the imagined catchphrase "just the facts ma'am" (culturally imagined to be from Dragnet, actually from a satire of Dragnet, and repeated in the film version of Dragnet which is also a satire of Dragnet the tv show) played out on a million television screens, piled on top of each other in a gargantuan and obscene mountain. Now imagine Rodney Ascher taking a wrecking ball and breaking that disgusting monument to objective reality down to size, and maybe you're ready for Room 237 or The Nightmare (or his quite good short The S From Hell), because let me be clear: these are documentaries that don't give a hot horse dump about the tangible, about the rational, about the things we can really touch with our own hands, put our fingers on. No, Ascher submits to the subjective credo, an idea that all reality can only be understood through imperfect experience. The Shining might be, in the eyes of a respected film critic, about loneliness, about work, about the ways the past haunts us even when we don't realize it, and to someone else it might be about how Kubrick faked the moon landing. Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe, what's the real difference? If we understand reality to be a collection of experiences (and, as best as I can tell, it's a pretty clear view), the actual nature of any situation is unimportant; it's the angle you look at it that matters.
So we find Ascher's newest documentary, The Nightmare, in much the same space as Room 237; for those looking for a penetrating and informative glance into the nature of sleep paralysis, you've come to the wrong filmmaker, just as anyone looking for commentary about The Shining would be better served outside of Room 237. Hell, you'd be better off watching an episode of Unsolved Mysteries, because you'd at least get the soothing voice of Robert Stack gracing your obviously tired ears. But it's never been about the reality, it's been about the experience. How do a myriad of people interact with and differently remember the same event, the same piece of art, the same psychological phenomenon? The ways their interpretation of a thing- whatever that thing may be- changes depending on their background is what we're really meant to look at. How can two people see The Shining as a metaphor for the holocaust and the genocide of native Americans? What are the similarities? How can the same source material give us two very different readings?
In the same way, The Nightmare asks us to consider how sleep paralysis stays constant and changes between people, not whether what they're experiencing is "real" or "true", but whether what they have gone through matches up with other people, whether it's reoccurred. The reenactments we see of these events aren't "scary" because they are documents of the truth, but because they are documents of a reality, and they show what one person really experienced. After all, does it really matter if shadow people came into a child's bedroom or if the child just imagined it? Of course not, because the memory and the event is the same. It left the child shaken for the rest of their life. What we experience is what matters, at the end of the day – not the "objective" world, but subjective memory, subjective sensations. You can tell yourself all day that the walking, talking alien whose skin looks like television static isn't real, but when you see it, it might as well be. There's no judgement, no cruelty, and no wink-wink nudge-nudge editing or cinematographic tricks to make the people who have experienced this terror look silly, or to discount them, just an attempt to relate an experience.
If there's any issue to be had with the film, it's that in comparison to its predecessor, Room 237 (one of the best documentaries of the emerging decade), its subjects experience realities that are too similar. Where Room 237 gave us a panoply of opinions, The Nightmare dives deep into one experience, and throughout its different subjects keep a narrative constant. There's reasons for this; the human nervous system has developed in a way that many of these hallucinations will inevitability be the same. Shadow people with red eyes are artifacts of the glitches in the brain, and as such their nature stays constant through most of the witness testimony. But the pull of this singular experience pushes through the somewhat same-y nature of the recollections, and the audience truly feels the fear of sleep paralysis, the fear of sleep, the fear of the reduction of control, of the reduction of consciousness.
Ultimately, this fear is what makes the documentary worthwhile. Ascher is the best horror filmmaker today not working in horror film. He sets up a situation, asks people to explain it, and the myriad of explanations (and the connecting threads between them) becomes the horror. It's no small coincidence that knowledge of sleep paralysis increases one's likelihood of experiencing sleep paralysis; Rodney Ascher is infecting his viewing audience with knowledge, with subjective reality, and maybe he even hopes that the viewer experiences what he's worked so hard to describe. If the viewer goes to sleep worrying that the same thing might happen to them, then he's done his job, regardless of what anyone might claim. What scares us is the unconscious, and the reality therein; when what we experience correlates with the reality of what can hurt us, our safety falls away, and we are left with nothing but a shadow, a man in a hat, red eyes staring out from the darkness of our homes.
The Nightmare is now playing in select theatres.

Gillibrand says she would not detain immigrants
"They don't need to be incarcerated," the Democratic presidential candidate said on CBS.
www.politico.com
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a contender for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president, said Sunday she would not use the detention system for immigrants to the United States if elected president.
"As president of the United States, I wouldn't use the detention system at all," Gillibrand told host Margaret Brennan on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"They don't need to be incarcerated," the New York Democrat said when pushed by Brennan. "If they are given a lawyer and given a process, they will follow it. They can go into the community in the way we used to handle these cases under the Department of Justice."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement Saturday it has 16,000 migrants in custody and called the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border a "humanitarian and an operational crisis."
Gillibrand criticized the Trump administration's immigration policy, particularly citing the "zero tolerance" policy that led to the separation of migrant children from their parents at the southern border.
"Trump's immigration policy is inhumane, ineffective and wrong," Gillibrand said.
"What I would do is actually fund the border security measures that are anti-terrorism, anti-human trafficking, anti-drug trafficking and anti-gun trafficking," she continued. "And I would defund these for-profit prison systems that are harming children and harming families that are seeking asylum."
The New York senator also said her home state "would be delighted" to take in refugee families.

At Northside, our desire is to lift up Jesus Christ and introduce others to Him.
At our church, we aren't perfect. Far from it! But we believe that God's Word has the answers and help that we need.
So we study the Bible, practice what we learn, and, in the process, grow together.
It's one of the most powerful tools in our spiritual life, yet we often neglect it. Although it takes just a few minutes, it can provide lasting strength and motivation for the whole day. Meditating on Scripture can transform our lives because it allows the Holy Spirit to teach us truth from God's Word. At our church in North Sydney, we want to learn as much as we can about the Bible. Not sure where to start?
Here are 3 steps to meditating on Scripture.
Looking for the best family vacation spots for your family? A family vacay is the perfect time to bond with your children and spouse and make happy memories together.

Here are 4 of the best family vacation spots we recommend.
In January, many Christians start a Bible reading plan to read the Bible through in a year. But, sometimes, they become bogged down in difficult sections, get behind schedule, and give up. How can we stay on track with our Bible reading? How can we keep our devotions fresh and interesting?
Here are 3 helpful tips for Bible reading.


After rereading my last blog, I realized that I may need to bring some clarification. Notice the title was "Discipleship AND Learning". This is worth noting since it means the two are separate things. They should not be equated as though one IS the other or that they are interchangeable somehow. Rather, there is a very unique relationship between the two that deserved mentioning.
No, discipleship is more than getting knowledge or acquiring facts. Discipleship also involves the emotions, feelings, and affections. In my own estimation however, the role of emotions can never surpass the role of the intellect in our walk with Christ. That is, we can't and shouldn't get ourselves emotionally excited or pious over unintelligible gibberish, but rather the truth and facts within God's word. After all, Christ desires that we worship in spirit AND in truth, having a zeal or passion for God THAT ACCORDS WITH knowledge. What might be helpful to remember is that our emotions tend to simply follow after our thoughts in the end. We can (for the most part) rarely feel something that we cannot ultimately understand or rationalize, explain, comprehend, or find a general reason for the feeling.
What I would say very briefly about our emotions and their role in the discipleship process is that they can trick us. They can go up or down in a matter of moments. We need keep them grounded in God's word. The human heart is deceitful according to scripture and is in need of Christ to renew it. Discipleship actually involves us laying down our selfish emotions and affections and allowing God to reshape both our mind and heart. In the end, our prayer should be that God would cause our hearts to think and feel in ways that please Him... to love the things that He loves, to hate the things that He hates, to laugh at the things he would laugh at, to be angry at the things He would be angry about, etc.
In essence, being a disciple or "learner" involves not just acquiring knowledge and reading or studying the Bible, but also applying it in our core so that it penetrates both our thinking as well as our feeling. As "learners" of Christ, we do more than learn new facts about Him by reading our Bibles. We also adopt His demeanor, conform to His likeness, live by His standards, value the things He values, love what He loves, and bring our own sentiments into line with His own.
Prayer: God, help me to give you my heart as well as my mind. Create in me a clean heart, Oh God - one that beats in tune with yours. Give me a heart that is married to a mind centered and concretely focused upon your truth. Make me love what I ought, hate what I should, and feel what you feel towards everything in between. I ask you to reshape my thinking and my feeling. I commit my emotions and affections to you now this day. Amen.
P.S. Have you read or heard someone explain this before in a similar or more convincing way? How or when did you personally first come to understand and practice this aspect of discipleship? Let me know about it! I am always looking for new resources and ready to hear about other believers' experiences!

Elaine Swann, lifestyle and etiquette expert, and founder and CEO of the Swann School of Protocol in Carlsbad.
Elaine Swann's parents enrolled her in etiquette classes as a child, which resonated with her at a really young age. One of her chores was setting the table for dinner each night and her parents wanted the kids to do something in life that was different and also allowed them to be poised and respectful.
"My family emigrated here from Panama, and with that family dynamic as a child, you are told what you will be. So, what was told to me was that I was to become a nurse. When people would ask me, I would say, 'I want to be a nurse,' but it never felt quite right to me," she says. What did feel right was focusing in on image, manners and etiquette, and after taking various courses and training sessions, and continuing her work as a certified mediator, she's been working as a lifestyle and etiquette coach for more than 20 years, appearing on national television and running her Swann School of Protocol, headquartered in Carlsbad.
Swann, 50, lives in Oceanside with her husband, Christopher. She also serves as the hospitality chair of the United San Diego Region Church of God in Christ, where she works with 16 churches, offers free workshops to organizations that serve low-income communities, and has previously served on the board of directors for Girls, Inc., and for the Milestone House, which works with foster youth. She took some time to talk about her passion for manners, using her work to serve others and working in such a social field as an introvert.
Q: When you were growing up, did you want a career teaching people about etiquette?
A: As a child, I really admired my teachers. I found that, growing up, I was always teaching my siblings, cousins and friends, and I loved feeling like I did something great for someone else. Teaching is in my nature, but etiquette came later.
Q: What led you to a career in etiquette and lifestyle practices?
A: I learned very early in life that your image is everything and how you present yourself, not only physically, but behaviorally, is incredibly important. You only get to make one first impression. Later in my childhood and into my teens, I began to participate in pageants, which was perfect for me as being prim and proper was a natural thing for me.
Q: And how do you define "lifestyle practices"?
A: Lifestyle practices can be pretty subjective as far as definition goes. I like to explain it as I give clients and admirers the tools and advice to forge a sense of self and maintain their way of life and values in a way that is proper, regardless of what the individual's values or way of life are. I have clients who are in various industries and those lifestyles vary.
The thing I love about living in Oceanside is that I have the best of both worlds here: I have the diversity that the city of Oceanside offers while having a beach community vibe. There is literally something for everyone here.
Q: Why does etiquette matter?
A: Etiquette matters because it truly is part of our everyday lives. It is not so much about how you use your fork and knife at the table, but it is more about putting others at ease. The core values of etiquette are respect, honesty and consideration. Those three principles can be applied to any area and aspect of a person's life, whether it be their personal life or professional life, and applying those core values and practicing them are necessary in order to thrive and have healthy relationships.
Q: What are a few of your etiquette pet peeves?
A: I honestly do not have any pet peeves in particular, as I do not pay enough attention to people's behaviors to let it annoy me. I do have some things that individuals in everyday life can improve on: First would be cell phone usage. Individuals need to realize that the person that you are with face-to-face has the top priority, and it is quite rude to have conversations verbally or via text message while engaged with another person.
Second, people should RSVP to legitimate invitations they receive. I don't mean the random messages you receive on social media or through mass emails when you really don't have a personal connection with the individual. I'm talking about an actual invitation from someone you have a relationship with. The event host took the time to invite you to an event and regardless of the nature or size of the event, please respond and let them know if you are not going to attend. It is very difficult to plan an event as low-key as a baby shower or an event as large as a wedding when you do not know who is coming or, at minimum, how many guests to expect.
Thirdly, people really should keep to themselves more on social media. The amount of over-sharing is really bothersome.
Q: What are some areas of etiquette that you are still working on getting better at yourself?
A: I am working on sending out cards for birthdays and holidays in a timely manner. I start out ahead and buy the card, stick it in my purse and I ultimately take too long to send them out. I am working diligently in 2018 to stay on top of this.
A: One thing that is very challenging about my work is that I can only be in one place at a time, and I have to work really hard to serve everyone who approaches me or my business. Due to regular appearances on national news and talk shows, I receive a great deal of requests to present workshops or keynote presentations all over our nation. It pains me to have to turn people down because the information I share is so valuable.
A: The most rewarding part of my work is seeing the results and getting the feedback from clients and admirers across the United States. They tell me how the advice I have shared has positively impacted them or their organization.
A: My work has taught me that I really and truly have a heart to serve. In this business, I have come to realize that there are a lot of people out there who are very concerned about what they do and say, and how it can impact themselves and others.
A: The best advice I have ever received was to focus on one thing. As a person with an entrepreneurial spirit, I am a creative person and have so many ideas for various parts of my businesses. Once I focused on one thing at a time, I noticed that I gained more traction and success in that one focused area versus burning out on multiple ideas.
A: People would be surprised to find out that I am actually a very introverted person. I am most comfortable in my own space, being alone. My circle tends to be on the smaller side, and I admittedly live in my own little bubble. My natural tendency when attending an event with lots of people is to go find a corner, get a plate of food and sit and eat and people-watch. I know I can't do that and be successful, so I practice and live by my own advice, go through the motions, and retreat back to my little bubble.
A: My ideal San Diego weekend would be waking up with my husband, Christopher, and going to grab breakfast and Honeys in Encinitas. After eating breakfast, we would unload our bikes from the truck and take a nice ride down Pacific Coast Highway. Christopher and I would then load the bikes up and head to whichever surf break he fancies that day, and while he surfs, I settle in on the beach and read a good book.

U.S. Supreme Court alters the patent venue landscape, making the most of your patents, and more in this issue of IP Buzz
Supreme Court Alters Patent Venue Landscape—E.D. Tex. No Longer the Heartland of Patent Litigation
The Supreme Court last week issued its decision in TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Food Group Brands LLC, 581 U. S. ___ (2017), altering the landscape of patent litigation venue. The Court ruled unanimously that "a domestic corporation 'resides' only in its State of incorporation for purposes of the patent venue statute." TC Heartland, 581 U. S. ___, slip op. at 2. Venue over a domestic corporate defendant is now proper:
in the judicial district where the defendant resides, that is, its State of incorporation, or
where the defendant has committed acts of infringement and has a regular and established place of business. 28 U.S.C. §1400(b).
Making the Most of Your Patent: Patent Marking
You've spent years developing your invention and several more years negotiating with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to get a patent with claims of myriad scope. Now that your patent has issued, what happens next? The logical next step: put infringers on notice of your patent rights. This can be achieved, constructively, by marking your patented product with a patent notice.
Content Is King, but How Will You Protect It?
Companies are spending more time and money than ever before generating creative, engaging content. The digital era has made content limitless and methods of engaging consumers almost limitless. But the law is not limitless – it still has bounds, some of which were established long before there were computers, the internet, or discussions about augmented reality and virtual reality.

Home Latest News Gospel's V2.0 of its blockchain platform
Gospel's V2.0 of its blockchain platform
Gospel Architecture
Gospel Technology (Gospel), a provider of secure data distribution for enterprises, has announced the release of Gospel Cloud Platform V2.0. This is a private, permissioned blockchain which enables enterprises to secure and track data across decentralised ecosystems. Gospel believes it offers a new way of securely distributing data across modern decentralised infrastructures. It claims that blockchain can enable enterprises to collaborate on data – both internally and externally – with trust, security and consent.
Version 2.0 builds on Gospel's initial foundation. It adds multiple enterprise-ready features as well as improvements to performance. It can apply to almost any situation where sensitive information needs sharing yet with protection from internal or external threats (malicious or accidental).
CEO and Founder of Gospel, Ian Smith, commented: "We're at a pivotal moment in the development of the knowledge economy. Data breaches are becoming such a regular occurrence that consumer trust in allowing companies to hold their data is eroding fast. Only by changing the way we handle data fundamentally can that be reversed before there is a backlash. Gospel delivers an enterprise platform to enable secure data distribution."
Ian Smith, Gospel Technology
Gospel's V2.0
By shifting security to the lowest possible layer and adding extensive audit features, Gospel V2.0 claims to deliver a platform which is secure by design. The platform is built around a private, permissioned ledger.
This requires both reads and writes to pass through a distributed consensus mechanism and Gospel's custom data logic. This means that permissions can be highly granular and context-derived. This includes data-owner driven consent, as well as traditional access control mechanisms. The combination supports Gospel's central mission – to eliminate the speculative sharing of data by providing mechanisms for companies to share only the information required to perform a process and no more.
By using Gospel, enterprises can aim to:
eliminate the cause of the majority of data breaches
move towards compliance with the latest data protection and access regulations.
According to Gospel, V2.0 then goes further. It adds:
customisable smart contracts for both actions and permissions
restricted views based on queries to the underlying data (for example, showing whether a user is over 18 rather than individual date of birth information); with this approach, Gospel addresses another vector by which data could inadvertently leak
the ability to manage and automate workflows end-to-end including interfacing with existing systems for both ingress of data and notification of pertinent information by API, database connection or file; combined with the ability to drive consent through notifications and requests, this means data-consuming users and applications have the latest view of appropriate data at all times.
Gospel Technology
Gospel Technology, headquartered in London, aims to fix data distribution challenges for businesses needing to disseminate critical information, whether internally or externally. Its objective is, in its own words, "total security, trust and control".
Such an approach offers organizations the possibility of:
preventing manual workarounds
eliminating data breaches
removing human errors
stopping accidental data loss.
What does it mean
Most enterprises understand traditional IT infrastructures have deteriorating security in an increasingly threat-ridden environment. Gradually, this diminishes both data integrity and then confidence in that data.
Yet, at the same time, the cost of maintaining security across environments continues to increase. Financial information, confidential customer records, intellectual property, personal data, and other unstructured files are all at risk from existing access/trust imbalances.
Gospel's use of private, permissioned blockchains presents a different approach to the access and control of data. Gospel claims its approach is scalable, resilient and secure – thus providing higher levels of trust in an inherently untrustworthy environment.
Some enterprises, which Gospel does not name as customers, already use the technology. As with all matters concerning security, everything depends on no breaches occurring. This is a tough nut to crack. But Gospel's V2.0 will be all the more worthwhile if, with its use, enterprises need no longer worry.

Provider Opinions and Experiences Regarding Development of a Social Support Assessment to Inform Hospital Discharge: The Going Home Toolkit
Wallace, Andrea PhD, RN; Papke, Todd PhD; Davisson, Erica MSN, RN; Spooner, Kara MSN; Gassman, Laura MHA, BSN, RNC-EFM
Professional Case Management: September/October 2017 - Volume 22 - Issue 5 - p 214–227
doi: 10.1097/NCM.0000000000000234
Purpose of Study: Despite over three decades of research linking social support and optimal health outcomes, social support is not systematically assessed or addressed during clinical care. This study sought input from health care providers to inform the design of an intervention intended to facilitate assessment of social support in a way that could aid in anticipatory planning during the process of hospital discharge.
Primary Practice Setting(s): Using a purposive sampling strategy, data were collected from providers in two acute care settings serving rural patients, one academic and one community based. Opinions about what an assessment of social support would seek to accomplish, what is currently done and by whom, and the preferred format for delivery were elicited during a series of individual and group interviews. During phase two, feasibility was assessed with three inpatient nurses over 3 clinical days. Field notes were analyzed throughout the project using rapid data analysis techniques.
Results: Health care providers endorsed the creation of an assessment and stated that target users would include all members of the discharge team (e.g., clinical nurses, case managers, discharge coordinators, hospitalists, and specialty care). They identified the need for a patient–family resource (vs. a traditional provider-facing assessment). Participants stated that, although both the information collected and the interview process would meet a need to increase patient engagement in inpatient settings, competing clinical demands would require a tool that was easily completed by patients and family and seen as directly informing clinical activities. To this end, although focusing on the eventual development of an electronic tool seemed valuable, a hard-copy resource was considered more feasible for patient use at the present time. The preliminary test of the resulting hard-copy "Going Home Toolkit" demonstrated potential feasibility and usefulness during clinical practice.
Implications for Case Management Practice: There is need for not only assessing patients' supportive networks during discharge planning, but to do so in a way that would facilitate directed communication between, and engagement with, team members, patients, and families. Especially in light of new legislation focusing on involvement of caregivers, a tool such as the "Going Home Toolkit" may facilitate important conversations about, and planning around, patients' supportive resources at home.
Andrea Wallace, PhD, RN, is an Associate Professor at the University of Utah College of Nursing and School of Medicine. Dr. Wallace's clinical research focuses on narrowing gaps in health outcomes for those living with chronic illnesses while understanding how interventions can be feasibly administered during routine service delivery.
Todd Papke, PhD, is a Technology Innovations Scientist at the University of Iowa College of Nursing. He serves as a technology consultant in both research and education initiatives, and focuses on improving data aggregation, reporting, and research processes as part of the Evidence-Based Practice and Quality group at UIHC.
Erica Davisson, MSN, RN, is a PhD candidate, research assistant, and guest lecturer at the University of Iowa. In addition, she continues to work part-time as a staff nurse at UIHC. Ms Davisson's research focuses on staff nurses' decision making during discharge planning for patients with heart failure.
Kara Spooner, MSN, is Medical Surgical Nursing Unit Director at Mercy Medical Center, Clinton, Iowa. In that role, she builds on 12 years of nursing experience. Prior to her role as a unit director, she worked as a Clinical Development Specialist assisting with nursing orientation and educational opportunities for staff.

Q: Finding Model/Tool name in custom Toolbox via ArcPy/Python? We have a folder housing all custom Toolboxes/Models for our schema updates. We are attempting to automate these Toolboxes in upper environments. The initial problem is, I am unsure what Model name people are going to use.
How can I extract the Model name with Arcpy/Python then use this information with ap.GetParameterInfo?
The goal is to reset one required parameter in each environment.
Current failing code base:
import os
import arcpy as ap

_dir = r'D:\foo\bar' # folder with all the toolboxes

_lsdir = os.listdir(_dir)

for _tbx in _lsdir:
  _tb = ap.ImportToolbox("{0}\{1}".format(_dir, _tbx), "fakealias")
  print _tbx, _tb
  _p = ap.GetParameterInfo(_tb)
  for p in _p:
    print p.name, p.parameterType, p.value

Current Error output:
20190419_AddFC.tbx 'module 'fakealias' (built-in)'
AttributeError: Object: GetParameterInfo tool <module 'fakealias' (built-in)> not found.

I've successfully printed the ap.GetParameterInfo from a single Toolbox but only when hardcoding the Model name. This will not work long term.
Code formatting did not take on original publish.

This answered the initial question.
    import os
    import arcpy as ap

    _dir = r'D:\foo\bar' # folder with all the toolboxes

    _lsdir = os.listdir(_dir)

    for _tbx in _lsdir:
      _tb = ap.ImportToolbox("{0}\{1}".format(_dir, _tbx), "fakealias")
      print _tbx
      for _t in dir(_tb):
        if "__" not in _t:
          print _t
          _p = ap.GetParameterInfo(_t)
          for p in _p:
            print p.name, p.parameterType, p.value

A: You're trying to get the ParameterInfo on the TBX, not a tool. This function works on a tool itself, not the higher level toolbox.
You can use a built in like dir to achieve your goal. You'll probably want to skip the dunder functions (if __ not in name):
for t in dir(_tb):
     if "__" not in t:
         print(t)
         _p = arcpy.GetParameterInfo(t)
         for p in _p:
            print p.name, p.parameterType, p.value

Your strategies as a marketer are heavily laced with purpose; each message is aimed toward a specific goal. To be able to define those goals more accurately is the key to communicating even more effectively.
That is just what trigger marketing does. It tells a marketer where customers are in the decision making process based on their actions – or lack thereof.
This form of data driven marketing tells "where, when and what" to communicate to prospective customers. And the best part is – it's all in the data that you already collect!
Trigger marketing applies consumer behavior data to tailor a response. For example, an abandoned shopping cart is a trigger. It notifies a company that that person is interested in their product, but due to some circumstance did not complete a purchase. The company can then follow up with a reminder campaign to all customers of that nature, via direct mail or email.
The consumer acts, the company learns about the consumer from that action, and the company plans accordingly. The trigger starts the process.
1. Behavioral Triggers – These events include the opening of an account, requests for information, changes in purchasing patterns, browsing patterns, website interactions, and other events along those lines.
Each of these actions says a lot about the consumer's position in the buying process.
Say a university sees someone has clicked an email link to visit the website for their college of business. The university now knows to have someone call that home for a follow-up conversation, or to send a direct mail campaign about their program.
2. Transactional Triggers – Transactions naturally prompt further marketing communications. They inform marketers of the customer's interests, what additional purchases could supplement previous purchases, the value of the customer, when they buy, how they buy, and so forth.
This data allows for more accurate segmentation of prospects, as well as prompting for responses.
3. Recurring Triggers – These triggers come from an individual's personal profile and happen on a certain date, including birthdays, expiration dates, anniversaries, and other recurring events.
When a database shows upcoming birthdays and anniversaries, there is opportunity for relationship building and brand reminders. Trigger marketing automates that process by linking the trigger to a direct marketing campaign.
The date is the trigger; a birthday card or membership anniversary email is the response.
4. Threshold Triggers – The message you receive after reaching the spending limit on your credit card is a classic example. The bank sees in their data that you've reached a threshold, and respond accordingly.
A database can alert you when a threshold is reached, permitting you to respond directly to it with targeted messages and means.
Relevancy and timing. These are the advantages that make trigger marketing so effective.
If you can relate to the last example above – reaching a spending limit on a credit card – you know first-hand how convenient trigger marketing can be for the consumer. You are not frustrated by the phone call, but rather thankful that the warning came as timely as it did. This is important information for you to know at that particular time.
Responding to customer cues means you act in a way pertinent to the customer; you hone in on your purpose, which makes for a more targeted message.
Consumers profit from the precision of this data driven marketing strategy in that they receive communications personalized for and relevant to them. And when consumers are happy, marketers are happy.
By interacting with your brand, consumers give you all the intelligence needed to reach them efficiently. They tell you they're ready, and you the marketer set the aim. All you have to do is send the communication that fits best.

EDUCATION CONNECTION—Together We Can Strengthen Families in Mississippi
by mcl | Dec 4, 2017
By Frank Wynn
Eric Scott, second from left, receives congratulations from Families First staff Dante Jones, Antonio Leonard, and Frank Wynn.
Together We Can Strengthen
Families in Mississippi
As I handed Eric Scott the plaque, I could see tears begin to well up in his eyes. His hands shook just a little, unnoticed by the group gathered in his honor. His head held a little higher as we posed for a picture, Mr. Scott was proud—perhaps even confident—in that moment. Families First for Mississippi just recognized Mr. Scott as its Volunteer of the Year. Just seven short months ago, Mr. Scott came to the Mississippi Community Education Center's Families First for Mississippi Resource Center looking for help. The person I met then in no way resembles the man I work with today.
In April 2017, Eric Scott and I met for the first time. Mr. Scott was unemployed and looking for a job. Due to illness and unforeseen circumstances, he was unable to work for several months. Mr. Scott's family member, Gloria Robin Scott, helped care for him and nurse him back to health during those difficult times. When he became healthy, he wanted to return to work but had difficulty with the transition. The Mississippi Community Education Center's Fatherhood Program assisted Mr. Scott by providing reassurance, job readiness training, and assistance searching and applying for jobs online.
MCEC's program staff provided one-on-one assistance to Mr. Scott while also teaching him how to better navigate computers and the Internet. He applied for many jobs online and remained patient when there was no response. His positive attitude didn't waiver. He knew that with his work history and dedication, he would be given another chance of employment and self-sufficiency. In late June 2017, he received an interview for a position as an at-risk youth mentor and accepted the position soon after.
After completing the program, Mr. Scott felt compelled to give back. He asked to volunteer as a means of helping other participants. Initially, he would simply come to the program after leaving work, spending an hour with participants. "Coming to the center and asking for help was the hardest part. If I had one piece of advice, it would be to come to class and never give up. I knew that the staff would help me," shared Scott. Each day he would help with online employment applications and prepare them for interview skills. Although Mr. Scott would shy away from being called one, he was a mentor and role model to others that came through the program. He'd speak to the participants offering words of encouragement and support, by simply being there to show others that he cared for them and that the program works.
Over time, Mr. Scott expanded his efforts. He helped with reading and writing, picked up participants to bring them to the center, gave rides to job interviews when transportation wasn't available, and even helped an individual get a copy of their birth certificate! His willingness to give was unending, driven by the desire to give back in the same way that others had given to him. He found that by helping those in need, he was fulfilled. Mr. Scott became the program's real-life success story.
Families First works to provide individuals like Eric Scott a hand up. The program works to stabilize the family through education, job readiness, family life skills, financial literacy, and parenting. Our goal is to work with the whole family in addressing roadblocks to success. Eric is a prime example of the possibilities available.
"The opportunities that Families First has provided, not only to me but to others, are needed. The program gives us an outlet to try to find employment and to take care of our families. I am thankful for their assistance and unwavering support. It's the reason I come back to help others." – Eric Scott
Eric is a proud father of two, teenage daughter Erica Scott, and young son Braylon Scott. Eric continues to volunteer with Families First for Mississippi and has started a Men's Support group at the center in Jackson, MS. He actively promotes the fatherhood program and other services in the community.
"My experience as a Families First trainer has been great. The parents I work with have dispelled the myth that they don't want to be good parents. From mothers that are intrigued by a man's point of view on parenting or fathers that need a different outlook on being a father, they all genuinely want to be better parents but just need a little help." ~ Frank Wynn

The new option is available under the "Graph" menu within the toolbar of Bank Statements.
We're performing some regular maintenance to PocketSmith's servers, which will mean we will be offline while this occurs. This will mean that all services will be unavailable for up to 2 hours on the 24th of February, 2015 (or, 23rd of February in the US).
We have recently updated the graphs on the Bank Statements and Calendar pages, so that you can now easily zoom in on different date periods.
We present to you: multiple currency support. Seasons Greetings!
With the end of the year rapidly approaching and Christmas in just three days, we'd like take a moment to announce the beta release of multi-currency support in PocketSmith. Following years of planning and months of development, we've very excited to get this into your hands!
A quick product update as November comes to a close. We've got a number of bits of news about multi-currency, faster uncategorised transaction access, live feed site updates and more, wrapped up in a few paragraphs.
It's been 6 weeks since we launched the new Bank Statements page and search. The feature has been received extremely well, and it has also saved us significant amounts of time when finding transactions in using PocketSmith ourselves.
We're happy to announce that after a long period of development and testing, the new Bank Statements search engine is ready to be released! It's a huge upgrade to our transaction search and management engine, and we can't wait to you all to be able to finally use it.

Customer Security – Independent Assessment Framework now available
SWIFT has published an Independent Assessment Framework (IAF) to support its users and their independent assessors in carrying out their responsibilities as part of the Customer Security Programme (CSP).
The IAF defines how users need to verify that their self-attestations correspond with their actual level of security control implementation.
The introduction of independent assessments is a significant milestone for the CSP, which launched in 2016 and sets benchmark security practices critical to defending against, detecting and recovering from cybercrime. The assessments, introduced at the request of the entire SWIFT community through its Board and Overseers, further reinforce the security of the global banking system.
From July 2020, all SWIFT users will be obligated to carry out an independent assessment when self-attesting. These can be done through either:
• Internal assessment carried out by the company's second- or third- line of defence such as the users' internal compliance, internal risk of internal audit departments (independent from the first line of defence function submitting the attestation); or
• External assessment carried out by an independent external organisation with cyber security assessment experience and individual assessors who have relevant security industry certification.
As a minimum, the 'Community Standard Assessments' must cover all mandatory controls in the latest version of the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) that are applicable based on a user's CSP architecture type and infrastructure. Users that have attested against advisory controls may also consider asking the assessor to include these in the evaluation.
As users begin to plan and budget, we advise that external assessors should be registered with SWIFT under the SWIFT Partner Programme to have direct access to training and other CSP related materials. To ensure a consistent approach to the assessment process, SWIFT provides users and assessors standardised Excel templates and forms.
From July 2020, a user's self-attestation will not be able to be submitted into the Know Your Customer – Security Attestation (KYC-SA) application without necessary details from the independent assessment being submitted. All self-attestations from all users are subject to the normal year-end deadline.
In addition to the IAF outlined above, SWIFT also reserves the right, for a small cross-section of users, to mandate that an external assessment be undertaken.
The IAF is available to all SWIFT users here (SWIFT login ID required).

Issue: How to fix Windows 10 Update Error 0xc1900107?
When Windows 10 attempts to run the update, the process fails to start due to the error — 0xc1900107. I tried to update it manually but to no avail. It's getting bothersome already.
Windows 10 Update Error 0xc1900107 is a recurring problem common for Windows 10 Anniversary upgrade. Though this problem was first encountered last year, there is still quite a number of users who face this issue. It is necessary to note that the error is not caused by any malware. It may be triggered due to the several conflicting security programs. Another reason of such occurrence might be that your computer does not reach the minimum requirements.
Indeed, Windows 10 Anniversary Update Error 0xc1900107 might cause a frustration but its solution is much easier than expected. So let us begin with the common method which helped the majority solve this unpleasant issue.
This solution includes deleting the aforementioned folder. Do not hesitate to eliminate it thinking that it may cause registry failure. As a matter of fact, the folder contains the files related to your previous operating system. In short, when you chose to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the system itself created temporary files to perform a successful update. In case, the message pops up declaring that the folder cannot be eliminated, just give it an alternative name, for example, "Windows 10 update error 0xc1900107." However, this folder may not be visible. To access it, you need to perform the following steps.
Press Start and simply type Folder Options.
Once File Explorer Options folder opens, enter View section.
There, check Show hidden files, folders, and drivers box.
Exit this window and enter File Explorer.
Choose Local Disk C and find $WINDOWS.~BT folder. Delete or rename it.
It would be useful to troubleshoot any possible problems with a reputable software, e.g. SpeedyPC Pro, if the offered solution does not work. After the folder is deleted or renamed, run the update again. It should complete without any disturbances. Lastly, if you encounter 0xC1420127 error, you need to enlarge the free space of your hard drive. In the case of Windows Update error 0x80070490, run Windows Update Troubleshooter. Proof-check the Internet connection and the performance of your network adapters.

We are currently enrolling children for our 2018 O.Kamp Program. Hurry!
Call now to register your child at 204-632-5115.
In a joint project O.K. Before & After School and O.V. Jewitt Community School developed a natural playscape area for the children of the child care centre, the school and the community. While conventional playgrounds generally cater to active physical play, this is only a small portion of the play that children enjoy. Natural playscapes provide opportunities for the full range of play possibilities from dramatic social play to quiet creative play. The flexibility and changing nature of natural playscapes create endless opportunities for open-ended play and discovery.
The "Natural Playscape on Neville" was developed in three phases. Phase I involved the development of wooden huts, a "pond" and a canoe. Phase 2 saw the addition of a 1949 refurbished Ferguson tractor. And finally, the 3rd phase included flower boxes, a "stage" and several boulders.
Many thanks to the Seven Oaks School Division for permitting us to create this magical space for the children of this community. Thank you to all financial contributors which include - Seven Oaks School Division, O.V. Jewitt Parent Council, O.V. Jewitt Community School, O.K. Before & After School Child Care Centres Inc., Home Depot, the Winnipeg Foundation, Seven Oaks Healthy Living and the Community Incentive Grant Program (Devi Sharma, City Councillor).

Shooting tiny or macro objects is an interesting genre that brings the most out of a photographer. Have ever thought of shooting the insects using your professional cam? To take the macro objects in the frame, close up photography is used that creates exceptional shots.
Nothing is better than the natural light which makes the final picture look commendable. Use natural light as much as you can because the artificial light doesn't have that impact on the surroundings and environment. With the fast moving objects like train, planes, crawling insects etc. it is important to shed enough light in a natural manner. Also, if you feel that there is lack of proper light, you can switch to reflector or make use of silver foil to contribute to the lighting element.
Tiny subjects are hard to shoot, no wonder. But if you are perfect at choosing the perfect subject, no one can stop you from taking breathtaking shots. Look for the subject clearly and properly to notice if it has any defects. In some instances, suppose you want to capture a nice shot of an insect, you have to check whether or not the shot will come out to look beautiful.
To add depth to your portfolio, consider shooting the commendable areas of the subject you have chosen to shoot. For an example, a gorgeous leaf can be captured when there is a butterfly sitting on it. Zoom in the camera and shoot a nice scene that makes the frame look outstanding. An image looks striking when complete efforts are put in the backdrop and right technique is followed.
While shooting the photo, it is essential for you to know that the distance plays a major role. Windy days can ruin the shot if the air is opposite the position where you are capturing the images. Fast winds blow throughout the shot so when the image is noticed closely, the image will look bad. But if the situation goes out of the way, you can provide shelter to your subject by using shields.
To add an interesting touch to the shots, try adding backlight but be casual. Too much backlighting can ruin the shots so make sure to be very easy with the light so as to give quite a natural look. Leaves or flowers look incredible when light shines from behind and make the viewer awe-struck with the exceptional beauty. Because light has the potential to fool you and your setup at any moment, I would suggest being precise with the camera settings.
Macro photography is a genus where WOW factor is extremely essential to make the viewer feel connected and genuine. Even the macro objects can look jaw-dropping and unbelievably exceptional if shot with right backlighting. Like always said, practice makes a man perfect; you can master the photography art with years of practice and experience. I would definitely recommend trying your hands on macro photography to take your skills to a whole new level.
Nothing is better than being an expert at macro photography because every photographer craves to excel tiny photography at any cost. Why not experiment it?

Big Country are back live in concert..2011 ...YES
By joseph129,
September 8, 2010 in General Forum
joseph129
As part of the 30th annivesary big country will be playing a series of live concerts next year, I consider big country to be u2 equal in music
The band are to reform and have announced 4 shows to take place in January 2011. More may be added.
Big Country exploded onto the scene in 1983 with anthemic songs such as 'Fields of Fire' & 'In A Big Country' which were culled from their classic debut album 'The Crossing' which sold several million worldwide. They followed up with a number one album 'Steeltown'. They released 8 studio albums all of which entered the Top Ten and released 28 singles 5 of which were also Top Ten.
Approaching their 30th anniversary the band are lining up concerts to prepare for a period of celebration that will embrace their past. Tragically, co founder Stuart Adamson passed away in 2001. A traumatic time for all connected in Stuart's life but it is a great way of remembering him by performing songs live that the band played for the 18 year period their existence spanned.
Tony Butler says "To play again as Big Country was something that was only going to happen if we could find someone who could compliment the band and sing the songs in the way they need to be sung; with heart and soul. Mike Peters from The Alarm has stepped in to fill the premise for a few shows. It's about time the songs got another airing, and we think Stuart would be pleased tooâ€.
A new era beckons............................
The new line up consists of -
Tony Butler - Bass Guitar and Vocals
Mark Brzezicki - Drums and Vocals
Mike Peters - Vocals and Guitar
Bruce Watson - Guitar and Vocals
Jamie Watson – Guitar.
Dates are -
Wednesday 5th Newcastle O2 Academy
Thursday 6th London Islington O2 Academy
Friday 7th Birmingham O2 Academy
Saturday 8th Liverpool O2 Academy
All shows are on sale from Saturday 11th September @ 9am via www.gigsandtours.com or on 0844 811 0051. Tickets are priced £20 regionally (£22.50 London).
The band's official website www.bigcountry.co.uk will be selling tickets from today – Wednesday 8th September.
Sorry mate but experience has shown that no way can you replace the original lead frontman of a band
Stuart was the voice of the band - all that passion and fire is what made the sound- It is not how good a singer is that makes us buy the records it is because we like the tone of their voice and the tone of a voice is completely unique and individual, no two are the same although I must admit when I heard new artist Rumer the other day on the radio singing Slow I could have sworn it was Karen Carpenter.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm sure many fans will attend but I think some will be disappointed

It worked out pretty well for AC/DC.
