NHS releases guidance to help staff support new mums with mental health difficulties
The NHS has released a new 'good practice guide' for staff in specialist perinatal mental health services.
The guide was created by a team of clinicians and researchers from Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and several UK universities.
Commissioned by NHS England and NHS Improvement, the collaborative project places an emphasis on supporting new and expectant mothers with mental health difficulties by focusing on the wellbeing of their families and loved ones, too.
The team, comprising staff from the trust and a number of higher education institutions – including the University of Leeds, King's College London, and the University of Surrey and South London – produced both a publication and an animated video to help guide healthcare staff.
The new NHS-funded guide outlines key principles and ideas for involving and supporting partners and other family members. This includes acknowledging the mental health and wider support needs of fathers, other co-parents or partners; considering the needs of other children; being aware of cultural differences and appreciating how diverse families can be.
To produce the literature and video, the team worked with families, NHS services and community organisations to explore how services can assist those closest to new mothers with moderate to severe mental health difficulties.
Dr Zoe Darwin, who led the project for the University of Leeds while at the School of Healthcare, said: "When a mother experiences a mental health difficulty during pregnancy or after their baby's birth, the whole family can be affected. It can be a very stressful time for everyone concerned.
"By drawing on recent research, expert opinion, and practice examples from individual services, we hope to encourage change at a national level in how we care for families."
The guide encourages perinatal mental health services to follow three underpinning principles:
Think Family – consider the needs of the whole family; how family members can be included in the mother's care and be supported individually.
The Perinatal Frame of Mind – thinking about the needs of multiple family members and their mental health, how this affects the mother and baby, and how the absence of a partner or lack of support from the family may affect the mother, baby and mother-baby relationship.
Stay Curious – thinking inclusively about how families are formed, and being open minded about who may be important to the mother.
Dr Darwin also said that consultation with stakeholders had highlighted the importance of inclusivity, in relation to parents from ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ parents, and to lone parents.
She added: "Working in this way is also important for addressing inequalities. Around one in 10 fathers experience mental health difficulties during pregnancy or after a baby's birth and currently their needs are largely undetected and unmet. In addition, minority groups face increased vulnerability to perinatal mental health disorders and barriers to accessing services."
The full guide is available on the NHS England website, and the video can be accessed via YouTube.

Q: Ping Pong Socket.io doesn't work I'm trying to solve this problem , something doesn't work well and I don't understand what is happening.
This is the debug output of the server script:
engine:ws received "2" +25s
engine:socket packet +0ms
engine:socket got ping +1ms
engine:socket sending packet "pong" (undefined) +0ms
engine:socket flushing buffer to transport +0ms
engine:ws writing "3" +0ms

What does engine:socket sending packet "pong" (undefined) +0ms mean?
Thanks a lot!

A: undefined is the data of the packet, which is undefined.
The default ping/pong mechanism of socket.io causes this, and it's normal.

The Power of Archives in Human Rights Advocacy
Simon Chu
China Rights Forum
Democratic And Political Reform
Perhaps you all have read about the following story that happened in Guatemala. During the 36-year civil war that ended in 1996, thousands and thousands of people had been executed, and made to disappear by the national secret police. For years, human rights advocates had tried to nail down those people who are responsible for all these atrocities, but they couldn't do anything because of the absence of concrete evidence. And in 2005, by accident, a huge amount of police records and archives testifying to those crimes were discovered in a run-down factory that had actually been used as a storeroom for ammunition for the secret police. And because of this discovery, they were able to make some arrests and even had some perpetrators brought to court, some of whom actually went to jail.
This is the power of archives. Without archives, much of human rights work cannot happen. When we are talking about archives, we mean those records that were created by an organization, or even by an individual, as a result of official business. The important thing is that records created in such a way have to be kept and man- aged professionally, as evidence of the business activities concerned. As such, records are "evidence" of the whole business process; they are the basis for accountability.
Archivists usually make a distinction between "records" and "archives." Records refer to those which are still in active use by an organization. But when records have completed their administrative function, and if they have been appraised by an archivist to possess historical value, they will then be sent to the organization's archives for permanent retention. So, there are "records" and there are "archives."
In Hong Kong, there is no archives law! But this is not the case in almost all the rest of the world. In jurisdictions where there are archive laws, first of all, public servants are obliged by law to create records as a result of conducting their official business. Specifically, the records' proper management, appraisal for permanent value, and storage as archives or historical records, are all required by law.
In Hong Kong, not having an archives law means that public servants in Hong Kong are not required by law to create records. Second, there is no requirement by law to manage these records properly and professionally. So that explains why many of the professional record managers and archivists in the Hong Kong government services have left one by one, because there is no use for them there—the records don't need to be kept or managed properly.
And third, the absence of an archives law means that when government records finish their administrative function in the office, most of them fail to reach the archives. I was the director of the Government Records Service for years. Yet, because there was no law to support me, I could not go to bureaus and departments and ask what they were doing with their records. But the Hong Kong government does have these so-called administrative guidelines which say that if departments and bureaus want to destroy their records, they have to seek the endorsement and approval from the Government Records Service Director. But most of the time they don't because guidelines are not law. If officials choose not to observe the guidelines, there is no consequence for them!
There was a recent report about the relocation of the Central Government Offices to the Tamar site on the harbor front.1 Because of the move, six million pieces of records were destroyed. We are talking here about the move of bureaus, not just departments. Records created by bureaus are the most important records in the Hong Kong government.2 They are records relating to policymaking and deliberation. We have no knowledge of what kind of records were destroyed, but as records from the bureaus, the six million records destroyed must be important. When asked why they got rid of the records, the administration replied by saying that they already "had approval from the Government Record Service Director, in accordance with the guidelines." As far as these officials are concerned, they haven't done anything wrong, and they haven't violated any Hong Kong law.
Then what's wrong? In order to approve the destruction of a set of records, the Government Records Service Director must possess knowledge, skill, and experience in records appraisal. In order to be able to perform this duty, he or she must be educated and trained in this highly complicated archival duty for years, before he or she is qualified to say, "Ok, this record we keep … this record we don't need."
But what we have in the Government Records Service is a director who is just an executive officer, a general grade staff person, who has been posted there for just three years. He had no training whatsoever in archives and appraisal, and he is the guy who gave the order for the destruction of the six million records.
Do you remember the judicial review case a few years ago involving four Falun Gong members who had been denied entry to Hong Kong? Judge Michael Hartman hearing the case was appalled when he found out there were no immigration records whatsoever relating to these Falun Gong members. The Immigration Department head, Tommy Tong—he's now the head of ICAC, the Independent Commission Against Corruption—admitted that relevant records had been destroyed. And then the case was brought to the Court of Appeals, and Chief Justice Geoffrey Ma again was equally appalled by the same situation. He said that probably the decision on the case would have gone the other way if there had been records.3
1. The relocation was completed in the summer of 2011. ^
2. The twelve bureaus form the Government Secretariat of Hong Kong, the administrative arm of the Hong Kong government. ^
3. After being denied entry into Hong Kong for what the Hong Kong Immigration Department claimed to be "security" reasons, the four Falun Gong practitioners brought suit against the Director of Immigration, alleging discrimination on religious grounds. In 2009, Judge Geoffrey Ma of the Court of Appeal, despite finding that the government had breached the "duty of candour, " ruled in the government's favor. See Chu Woan-Chyi and Others v. Director of Immigration, CACV119/2007 (2009), http://legalref.judiciary.gov.hk/lrs/common/ju/ju_frame.jsp?DIS=67425. ^

As one of Japan's most highest profile winter events, the Sapporo Snow Festival perhaps needs no introduction. But 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of this once-humble event, to which droves of people now flock every year to enjoy the nearly 200 snow and ice sculptures on display throughout the city.
Each year the festival has unique crowd pleasing sculptures from popular franchises from around the globe. Of particular note for the 2019 celebration is the sculpture of Japan's popular virtual idol, Hatsune Miku—complemented by music and projection mapping—as well as a perennial favorite Star Wars sculpture. The festival runs until February 11, so if you want to get in on the action, you'd better act fast!

Two unique studies examine leadership and judgment of Eisenhower and his fellow generals: A Comparative Analysis of the Military Leadership Styles of George C. Marshall and Eisenhower, and Can Judgment Be Developed: A Case Study of Three Proven Leaders (Patton, Eisenhower, Bradley).
This is a comprehensive and massive compilation of reports, documents, and academic research papers about the life and career of Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States and commanding general of the Allied forces in World War II.
Instead of the clear guidance of the mythos, the guidance processes from World War II (from Pearl Harbor to Operation Torch, specifically) and the Gulf War demonstrate a very different relationship between strategic guidance and military planning. In reality, guidance was more like general principles governing operations than clear objectives.

LOS ANGELES: He was forced to toil in enemy mines as a prisoner of war, but James Murphy wasn't angry or bitter. He was just happy to have lived long enough to hear the Japanese apology he had sought for seven decades. Murphy, a POW during World War II and now 94 years old, accepted an unprecedented apology from Mitsubishi Materials Corp. on Sunday on behalf of his fellow POWs, few of whom remain alive, in a ceremony that was both solemn and joyful. "This is a glorious day," said Murphy, who stood tall and slender in a gray suit at the ceremony and looked much younger than his 94 years. "For 70 years, we wanted this." Saying they felt a "deep sense of ethical responsibility for a past tragedy," Mitsubishis executives presented the apology privately then publicly to Murphy, of Santa Maria, California, at the Museum of Tolerance at the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. Hikaru Kimura, senior executive officer for Mitsubishi, said through a translator that the company offered a "most remorseful apology" to the about 900 POWs who suffered "harsh, severe hardships" while forced to work in Mitsubishi mines and industrial plants. Murphy, who worked in Mitsubishi's copper mines in the war, called the apology sincere, humble and revealing. He stood and shook hands with Kimura and others as cameras clicked throughout the dimly lit museum theater, with giant American and Japanese flags projected side-by-side behind them.
Other POWs subjected sat in the audience along with many members of Murphy's family. Stanley Gibson, whose late father worked alongside Murphy in the mines, overcame his fear of flight to come from Scotland to Los Angeles for the ceremony to represent his family after hearing about it in news reports just a few days earlier. On the stage was a photo of the two men being liberated from their captors. "Considering what my father went through it was the least I could do," Gibson said. The Japanese government has twice apologized to U.S. POWs used as forced laborers during World War II. But Rabbi Abraham Cooper, an associate dean at the center whose primary focus in the past has been Holocaust education, said he and the event's other organizers believe the apology is unprecedented from a major Japanese company. Cooper, Murphy and others who spoke urged more Japanese companies to come forward to express their own remorse.
The ceremony was preceded by a private apology that ended with a long, deep bow from the Mitsubishi representatives. "I entered the room with a heavy heart, seeking forgiveness," said Yukio Okamoto, outside board member for Mitsubishi. Murphy said that after 70 years it was "the first time we've heard those words. They touch the heart." Murphy was gracious and beaming throughout the ceremony, expressing little bitterness or sorrow on what he called a happy day. He stressed that the apology was not half-hearted, qualified or self-aggrandizing for Mitsubishi. He said the apology "admits to wrongdoing, makes sincere statement showing deep remorse," and offers assurances that the wrongs will never be repeated. "I know that we can trust those words," Murphy said.

V-cube grows in staff number in Malaysia, Relocation of office to accelerate Asia's market expansion | V-cube, Inc.
V-cube, Inc. (headquarter: Meguro-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Naoaki Mashita), as business operation in Malaysia continues to grow traction for Asia markets, in order to aggressively expand our market coverage, we have increased the number of sales and marketing staff at our local branch – V-cube Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. – and also relocated our office as of June, 2014. Having acquired many customers in government, education and local enterprise sector, we are looking for a fruitful year in 2014. At our new office location, we are planning to host seminars for local sales partners and potential customers, as well as host web-based seminars for customer companies to share their news and information.
As the sales headquarter of V-cube's Asia market expansion, established in 2009, our Malaysia does not only cover local Malaysian markets, but also other ASEAN countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, etc., in various verticals such as government, finance, education, and enterprise. Many key players in local markets have installed V-cube services, such as MIDA (Malaysia Investment Development Authority), Bar Council Malaysia, Thamassat University (Thailand), Ministry of Interior (Thailand) and others. V-cube is able to offer multi-language support, stable network infrastructure (Global Link), and various customizations to fit the requirements of many customers in ASEAN region.
In order to further accelerate the business growth in Malaysia, we have improved our relationship with local partners. Awarded by Frost and Sullivan the "Web conference market 5 consecutive No.1 ranking" V-cube looks to make overseas expansion a part of V-cube's future growth strategy and excel even more in overseas markets.


In October '98 we forged ahead toward the fulfillment of a dream for future ministry. As missionaries for TCM Mission in Brazil, we began to sense the need for believers in Christ to become better grounded in God's Word, and sought the Lord as to how we might be able to fulfill that need. We realized that believers can best be strengthened as their hearts and minds are saturated with Bible truth. The experience and education we had acquired during the course of our lives led us to one conclusion — Why not use all of today's technology available to take the Word of God to believers, provide study tools to enhance their spiritual lives, and preserve the writings of various authors who have eloquently expounded on God's Message of Grace — and why not put it in a media format that can be utilized by Future Generations?
That was the beginning of TBS Ministries, Inc., a nonprofit organization founded in the State of Indiana, USA.
How is our ministry performed?
As stated above, TBS Ministries was founded with the purpose of "Taking the Word of God to Future Generations". In accomplishing that goal, the first product launched was the Grace Library CD-ROM, an electronic library with more than 250 works, all written by well-known grace writers, teachers, and pastors. From this vast list of authors we can cite such names as J. C. O'Hair, Sam Vinton Jr., Paul Sadler, C.R. Stam, Charles Baker, C. I. Scofield, and many more.
Recently, TBS Ministries has engaged in promoting the Mystery of the Grace of God among colleges and universities via Bible Conferences. In fact, the first one took place in Brazil, South America, in 1998. The theme of this conference was the "First Conference on Science and Faith". We had the privilege of receiving over 300 attendees during three days for this conference.
In the U.S., four conferences have been held, two in Indiana, one in Ohio, and another in Michigan. Bible-focused themes have been chosen, such as: "Where in the World is God Today? - In Society and In the Church" and "True Spirituality".
Additionally, TBS has founded two more branches of ministry, TBS Online Learning and TBS Digital Publications, both with the purpose of "Teaching and Promoting the Word of God Rightly Divided and Applying These Truths to Present and Future Generations". These new ministry departments are currently in the formative and development stages with great potential for further growth.
TBS has also assisted the local church by filling the pulpit for churches without a pastor, preaching on Sundays, interacting with church members, and working alongside the church family in an interim capacity until a permanent pastor can be found. This has taken place in both Evansville (IN) and Linton (IN), where full-time pastors were eventually found.
Finally, TBS Ministries encourages believers to study God's Word for guidance and illumination in today's world. Bible studies are held, with special focus on the spiritual needs of college students, internationals, children and adults. Attention is dedicated to understanding not only the theological meaning of God's Word, but also its practical application.
By supporting TBS Ministries, you are helping provide the means for the Gospel of God's Grace to be preached, as revealed through the Apostle Paul. Your donation is utilized 100% toward the various projects God has given us to promote salvation by grace through faith alone. Your prayers and gifts also assist us in paying travel expenses, maintaining office supplies, and preserving grace works via both electronic and paper publishing. Supporting this ministry helps us more than words can describe. Thank you for your support!

Q: Why do some questions closed as duplicates lack a duplicate target? The question https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/345815/336163 (asked less than ten minutes ago) was closed as a duplicate less than five minutes ago, but it lacks any semblance of a duplicate target.
The header shows:

This question already exists:

The expected link to the duplicate target is missing.
Its timeline shows that it was closed by "Jenayah, Community♦" as "Duplicate of… " That's it, duplicate of....
What happened, and can we fix it?
I suspected that the duplicate target might simply have been deleted, but then I recognized the extremely short time between closure and now (not really enough time for others to get around to deleting), and also that one generally can't vote to delete a question that is a duplicate target - one instead gets a message that the question can't be deleted.
Another example of this happening: How can I reliably determine if a file is an image file?

Thank you manisha for your reply.
Can you explain me FREE_CHUNKS and LARGEST_CHUNKS, FRAGMENTATION_INDEX. Actually what it refers to?
Thank you Venkatesh for writing.
FRAGMENTATION_INDEX: Amount of free space available. 100-means no fragmentation.
Thank You, for my tablespace i see some of the tablespaces having FRAGMENTATION_INDEX to 1.13, Means is there high fragmentation and other tablespace is having 4.45. How can i proceed.
YES, there is high fragmentation.
If that tablespace belongs to undo tablespace then drop and recreate it.
In case of sysaux OR system add new datafiles.
In case of user tablespaces, take precaution to de-fragment it.
Really Thanks a lot for extremely faster reply as well precautions regarding undo, system as well as sysaux. In our database there are two tablespaces data and index both having FRAGMENTATION_INDEX value as 1.13 and 4.45 respectively. So i'm going to proceed to remove fragmentation in the tablespaces.
Once again thanks a lot for the reply.
How long will it take to de-fragment of a tablespace of size 4.5 TB with COALESCE or is there any better solution.
Please let me know because my tablespace is badly fragmented.
Surely, It will take long time to de-fragment the tablespace with size 4.5 TB.
We can't calculate the estimate time of mentioned activity but still its depend on your de-fragmentation method you are using.
Instead of COALESCE on tablespace level you can go with table level, So your activity shall be divided into small chunks.
If the number in FRAGMENTATION_INDEX is small, I have to consider that the tablespace is in fragmentatio?
Mentioned script will show you the fragmentation available in your tablespace. Not free space.
Below 30% is considered to be highly fragmented, please de-fragment it.
Please explain what is fragmentation?
Below 30% is considered to be highly fragmented, please de-fragment it ASAP.
Hi Jethwa, your script is very helpeful, but I have a question: How to de-fragment the tablespace? I need to de-fragment the tables? How to do that?
So for me I need to defragment DATAMART,DYANMIC_CONTETNS,CAMPAIGN and SANDBOX since they are below 30%?
Thank you Manan for writing!
You are trying to shrink a permanent tablespace or a dictionary managed tablespace. You can check the tablespace type with below mentioned SQL and issue the statement only on locally managed temporary tablespaces.
Confused to proceed further,waiting for your reply.
Thank you Vijay for writing.
Below 30% is considered to be highly fragmented, in your case there is no problem.
Means is there high fragmentation ?
Yes Rajesh, you are right.
I got the below result, What is the solution ?

The driver, identified as 26-year-old Dylan Molina, ran a red light at the intersection of Boat Club Road and Rocky Point Trail in Lake Worth and struck Cervantes's Impala broadside.
Forensic toxicology reports from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office showed Molina's blood-alcohol content level was .16, twice the .08 legal Texas limit. The blood test also confirmed the presence of THC.
Molina now faces intoxication manslaughter charges.
The crash that killed Cervantes also seriously injured his wife and children. Cervantes wife was released from the hospital on Dec. 22. His two sons are said to be doing well, building strength at home and resting with family members, according to police.

Producer Debra Martin Chase Signs Deal With ABC Studios

August 14, 2012 10:50am
EXCLUSIVE: Feature producer Debra Martin Chase is making a major move in television with a two-year overall deal at ABC Studios. Under the pact, Chase will develop series projects through her company, Martin Chase Prods., with the help of a dedicated TV executive she is in the process of hiring.The deal brings Chase back to ABC where she started her TV career as executive producer on the hit 1997 musical film Cinderella starring Brandy and Whitney Houston. She kept her close ties to the Disney Co. with two hit franchises, The Princess Diaries on the feature side and The Cheetah Girls TV movies on Disney Channel. She also executive produced the successful Disney Channel movie Lemonade Mouth and the ABC Family musical Elixir.
Chase first tested the series waters with the Vivica A. Fox-starring drama 1-800-Missing, which ran on Lifetime for three seasons from 2003-06, and had been looking to return to primetime for a while. "The best drama now is on television with terrific writing and great acting," she said. "What would be a medium-size feature that may not get made now can move to TV (as a series) with great success." Chase has had ongoing conversations with executives at ABC, a network where she feels she belongs. "ABC's brand of sexy, emotional and fun female-driven, character-driven dramas is what I do, so my brand and sensibility fits very well with theirs." Chase, repped by CAA and attorneys Nina Shaw and Abel Lezcano, points to Shonda Rhimes' ABC shows, particularly newbie Scandal, as well as the network's soap Revenge, procedural Body Of Proof and the Ashley Judd actioneer Missing as type of series she likes.
Chase, whose feature credits also include The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants franchise, ran the companies of Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston before launching Martin Chase Prods. in 2000. She recently produced Sparkle, which opens on Friday. Like Cinderella 15 years ago, it features Houston, joined by a young pop/R&B star, Jordin Sparks.

Growing Pains and how to overcome them………..
How many businesses start with the luxury of knowing exactly where they are going, how they are going to get there and what systems and tools they will use to get there? If you fall into this bracket, then my advice would be to bottle it and sell it, because most of us definitely don't.
Most companies start and grow from brilliant ideas, they buy some stuff, sell some stuff and recruit some people. Over time they get bigger and need systems to support their growth, probably starting with an Accounts Package, maybe a database or two, an ERP or manufacturing solution and possibly even a CRM system. This all helps and allows companies to buy a bit more, sell a bit more and recruit some more. Next thing you know 10 years has gone by and you're now managing a 'proper' grown up business with staff, customers, prospects, a regular revenue stream and hopefully a nice chunk of profit thrown in for good measure; all of which is great.
However, the challenges faced over the last 10 years don't simply disappear, they generally get bigger and more complex. Fine, there are more people to overcome these but they will all need tools to be able to do so efficiently and expediently. To ensure the business continues to grow, or even just to retain stability, we need to acquire new customers and make sure we retain the existing ones; we may need to increase the number of suppliers we have or form stronger relations with existing ones. Pricing is likely to be key as sectors become more and more competitive, so we need to position ourselves to achieve the best buy price and the highest selling price for our products and services.
Regardless of your business type, sector or size, to achieve this information is vital; from the price of fresh produce to fuel burn rates for transatlantic flights; from conversion ratios for marketing campaigns and sales opportunities to staff performance – we can't run and grow our businesses without understanding what's going on.
This was all relatively straightforward 10 years ago when the company was just starting out and there were a handful of people involved. However, now there are many more people involved and many more systems holding different information. In addition, customer expectations have increased significantly, primarily due to the competition brought by the internet and everyone's desire to have everything immediately; if stores can deliver an order on the same day, surely a company can provide an answer, be it a quote, response to a service query or even just a simple answer to a question, within less time. And that's just thinking about your external customer; what about your internal ones, your staff? Surely you have a responsibility to provide them with a similar if not better level of attention or response when needed.
Free up peoples time by integrating systems so that they share data and time is saved in not having to duplicate information. This will ensure users have access to the relevant data to make strategic decisions quickly and accurately.
Pool key data into comprehensive reports and dashboards representing a view of all relevant data with the ability to drill-down to a granular level of detail.
Mobilise systems and data to mobile phone and/or tablet App so that people have access whilst out of the office.
Provide your customers with Apps to engage with your business at all hours of the day without the need for staff being available to respond directly.
Automate business processes, workflows and approvals freeing up time and avoiding unnecessary paper trails whilst maintaining an accurate audit trail.
Don't neglect internal customers, replicate the above so that they receive the same level of service and attention as external customers. Ensure systems are in place to manage HR, Recruitment, On-boarding and Development.
Use internal systems to manage corporate governance, giving users access to up to date policies, contracts and documentation all with the correct branding, tone and messaging.
Ensure internal systems are optimised to support your team in doing their day to day tasks as efficiently as possible and that they add value to the users rather than being cumbersome and antiquated.
Finally keep it simple. Be clear about what delivers the best ROI and start there.
So how do we go about achieving this Utopia? Well start by listing the areas that are struggling to cope with the workload. Look for the bottlenecks and capacity constraints across the key business functions. Talk to members of your team and finally speak with an external software specialist and get some advice on what is possible.

Q: Restricting Access for Collaborators on Github I have a github repo which I want potential contractors to only view/browse the codebase on Github and NOT download/clone the whole repository. Is it possible to do it on Github?

A: You could define an organization, and then teams, because the permission level is richer with organization: see "Permission levels for an organization repository".
But unless the repo is private (and completely invisible), you cannot prevent a pull or a fork.


Under Haggerty, Harvard won 10 Ivy League/Heptagonal championships. In 1989, his women's squad took ninth place at the NCAA championships, the best finish by an Ivy League school in NCAA history. The Crimson women's cross-country team also made a fourth-place finish at the 1983 NCAAs.
Four of Haggerty's athletes have won a combined six NCAA individual championships; they include Meredith Rainey '90 (800-meter run) and Dora Gyorffy '01 (high jump), who won two titles apiece. This feat is all the more remarkable in that no other Ivy League college has produced an NCAA champion in women's track and field. Several of Haggerty's athletes went on to compete in the Olympics. In addition to Rainey (800-meter run in 1992 and 1996) and Gyorffy (high jump in 2000), Chris Lambert '03 (200-meter dash in 2004), Nick Sweeney '92 (discus in 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004), and Brenda Taylor '01 (400-meter hurdles in 2004) have participated in the Games.
Haggerty himself was a three-time NCAA qualifier in the 440-yard hurdles and a member of record-setting mile relay teams, both indoors and out.

Per Wästberg
Per Wästberg is Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature. He founded the Swedish Section of Amnesty International in 1963 and was deeply involved in the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. From 1976 to 1982 he was the editor of Sweden's largest daily newspaper, Dagens Nyheter. He was president of International PEN from 1979 to 1986. He is the author of fifty publications, including novels, poetry, essays and works on African politics and literature.
The Journey Of Anders Sparrman
Translated by Tom Geddes
'I have spent too long on plants and animals. Now it is time for human beings.'
This haunting novel is based on the life of Anders Sparrman, the eighteenth-century naturalist and disciple of the pioneering classifier Carl Linnaeus. Despite his humble beginnings, Sparrman joined Captain Cook on his second voyage to Antarctica and Tahiti and later made an unprecedented journey to South Africa. What he saw on these explorations made him a dedicated scientist and abolitionist, but it was not until he returned home to Sweden that a love affair dispelled the loneliness that had haunted him. In this magical, poetic novel, set between the end of the Enlightenment and the dawn of Romanticism, Wästberg's narrative combines intellectual precision with real emotional power.

I sent my dear mentor a copy of my book Haiku Moments. I was a little shy to send it when it was first published. He was and is a superb English teacher and I suppose I was reluctant because in many ways I am still a student of poetry. And where I welcomed feedback and criticism I knew he would also be very honest. So I was a bit scared of what he might think. However, I also needed and wanted his advice.
We exchange letters and talk on the phone. He now lives a thousand miles away and I do not get to see him as often. I hope to visit soon. He responded to my letter and uplifted my spirits with a wonderful critique of my poems. He sent me a few poems he wrote inspired by the prompts in my book. I loved them. But then again I love him too. I hope you enjoy the haiku by my mentor.

Saint Guiraud (né à Puissalicon en 1070 - mort le  à Béziers) était un évêque de Béziers du .

Biographie et légende
Diacre en 1094, et prêtre en 1101, il a été le deuxième prieur de Cassan à Roujan. Il devient évêque en 1121 lorsque l'évêque précédent, Arnaud de Lévezou, a été élu archevêque de Narbonne. Après avoir œuvré pour les pauvres, les malades et les pèlerins, il meurt le  à Béziers et est inhumé auprès de saint Aphrodise. Il est reconnu saint catholique, et fêté le 5 novembre.

La légende rapporte que sa mère ne le porta que sept mois dans son sein et que, lorsqu'on lui administra le baptême, l'eau des fonts baptismaux se mit à bouillonner comme si on y avait planté du fer rouge. Ce prodige fut regardé comme le présage de la sainteté de l'enfant.

La légende veut aussi qu'il soit pauvre. Cependant, des biographies antérieures se référant à don Vaissette estiment que plusieurs actes et chartes portant la signature Guiraud de Puissalicon sont la preuve qu'il était de famille noble : celle des "Puissalicon".

A United States-based analysis firm Teneo Intelligence has predicted that Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari could lose the 2019 election if the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) is united.
The company's vice president, Malte Liewerscheidt, who also covers political risks in West Africa, while analysing the outcome of the recent Osun state gubernatorial election said it was a bad signal for the ruling party and signals its waning popularity.
"There is already a clear message sent from Osun State: provided the PDP remains united, and the vote is reasonably free and fair, Buhari and his APC are likely to lose the general elections," Liewerscheidt said.
The candidate of the PDP, Ademola Adeleke had the highest number of votes among the 48 candidates.
Adeleke polled 254,698 votes, 353 votes more than his closest rival, Gboyega Oyetola of the APC.
Afuape said, "Unfortunately, as the Returning Officer, it is not possible to declare any party as the clear winner of this election at the first ballot … I hereby declare the result inconclusive." with the rerun scheduled to hold on Thursday, September 27.
The election is significant as it is the last major election before the 2019 general election and it will be recalled that Osun is one of the key southwest states that played a pivotal role in Buhari's victory in 2015.
The retired General and military head of state was voted into power in 2015 on a platform vowing to crack down on endemic graft and stamp out the Boko Haram insurgency devastating the country's northeast.
His government has made gains against the jihadist group, but Boko Haram is still capable of staging deadly attacks on military and civilian targets.
Buhari has been criticised for aggravating Nigeria's worst recession in 25 years by introducing a currency peg that spooked investors and depleted foreign reserves.
His declaration on April 9, 2018, that he will be contesting for a second term as Nigerian president will see him contend with prominent politicians.
The PDP is to choose a presidential candidate during its national convention on Oct. 5 and 6, with the current Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Plateau State governor Jonah Jang, former governor of Kaduna State Ahmed Makarfi, Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal and former Senate president David Mark, who are all vying for the party's ticket.

Congratulations to everyone who's survived the school year! School/college is nearly over for most people, so here's a little present for all the students (and teachers who have to put up with said students).
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that you DON'T invite Rabbit when grilling food. Knight is still in a…rough relationship with Rabbit, it seems.
Don't even think about it, Knight!
Well, it's not if other people are laughing at you. Knight seems to be the subject of a lot of bad luck. Pirate also seems to be a bit of a jerk. At least she's got a sense of humor, though.
Knight can't take a joke?
We've already established that pigs can fly, but would you believe a bird can? Hopefully your answer was "yes".
So, you yell at someone to get their attention. And then you forget what you were about to say. This animation is a celebration of that moment.
I like magnets. They're fun to play with, and do all kinds of neat things. Pirate likes magnets. They're great for pranks! Knight hates magnets. I don't think I need to explain why.
Knight is no match for the forces of Magnetism!
Have you ever set yourself on fire by accident? It's an experience everyone should have at least once in their lives. The fact that you set yourself on fire means you're unlikely ever to get a second chance to do so again.
I wonder how long until Rabbit notices…?
Why does Pirate like apples? Knight tries to find out, using logic! I think the lesson we can all learn here is that logic is not helpful in understanding Pirate.
Did she make a mistake…?
Like it says, drink water. Especially in this summer's heat! That is all. That is good. Everybody needs a cool glass of water.
So. What would you do if this happened? More importantly…what? How? Don't think about this one for too long.

Issue Brief: Expanding Medicaid Would Have Unintended Negative Consequences
Though advertised as a $3.5 trillion package, the fiscal year 2022 budget reconciliation bill may have a true cost more than 50% higher than that—$5.5 trillion—according to analysis from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.[1] Among other proposals that together seek to significantly expand the federal government's role in healthcare, the bill proposes a new federal Medicaid program beginning in 2025 in states that have not expanded Medicaid.[2] The program would be fully federally funded and operated by the Department of Health and Human Services through contracts with third-party entities (such as Medicaid managed care organizations) to provide health benefits.[3]
Medicaid was created in 1965 as a state and federal partnership to provide health coverage for those most in need, primarily low-income children, families, and pregnant women, as well as those with disabilities.[4] The Affordable Care Act (ACA) extended nationwide Medicaid eligibility to low-income adults, but in 2012 the Supreme Court in NFIB v. Sebelius made this expansion optional for states.[5] Currently, 38 states have expanded Medicaid, and 12 states have not expanded Medicaid, in many cases citing a desire to avoid the budgetary pressures that can accompany expansion.[6] Research shows that states that expanded Medicaid enrolled twice as many able-bodied adults as estimated, with per-person costs exceeding original estimates by 76 percent, leading to a combined cost overrun of 157 percent.[7] Low-income individuals in non-expansion states who make too much to qualify for Medicaid, but too little to qualify for ACA subsidies, are considered to fall in the Medicaid coverage gap. This number is estimated to be about 2.2 million adults.[8] Despite the coverage gap, these individuals have access to care through 3,000 federally funded health centers in non-expansion states and to free or low-cost care at public and non-profit hospitals.[9]
A NEW FEDERAL PROGRAM
High-level Points:
Budget reconciliation bills have time limits on debate, require only a simple majority to pass, and have limits around creating new government programs. Thus, this is not the right vehicle to create new entitlements, particularly in the form of Medicaid expansion. Research has shown that Medicaid expansion had higher enrollment and costs than projected, impacting state budgets without clear benefit on population health outcomes.
Targeted solutions for vulnerable populations represent better policy than a broad Medicaid expansion that subjects states to increased federal government control. An inefficient one-size-fits-all program is not the right solution. Medicaid crowds out private coverage dollars, forces providers to shift costs to private patients, and often results in individuals waiting for treatments.
This presents an opportunity for states, business leaders, and healthcare providers to find innovative solutions for access to care for those who fall in the coverage gap. This work should also drive improved affordability of care to improve health.
Supporting Research:
An April 2020 review of the evidence found that, after 2013, when the ACA was implemented, mortality trends worsened in expansion states compared to non-expansion states for three consecutive years, indicating that expansion may have a negative population health effect. Other cited studies in the review found either mild positive health effects or minimal health effects. Overall, the analysis found that the health effects of Medicaid expansion are highly uncertain—from negative to mildly positive at best—and concluded that targeted programs are better public investments than massive Medicaid expansion.[10]
Federal law already permits states to apply for waivers (Section 1115) that allow them to develop innovative policy proposals to address the unique needs of their state populations. There are currently 62 approved waivers across 45 states.[11] For example, non-expansion states such as Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee used these waivers to implement pilot programs through their existing Medicaid programs.
The new Federal Medicaid program will pay 100% of the costs of the new expansion population—who are likely to be healthier on average than current Medicaid recipients—which creates the incentive for states to maximize enrollment. The unfair prioritization of new and likely relatively healthy Medicaid beneficiaries may actually make it more difficult for the disabled, pregnant women, and children from low-income families to access the already limited Medicaid services in states.
Medicaid coverage does not automatically equal better care or better health.
In 2008, Oregon utilized a lottery to expand Medicaid to some able-bodied uninsured adults with income below 100 percent the federal poverty level (FPL), allowing researchers to assess the causal impact of gaining Medicaid with a control group for a population health study.[12] New Medicaid recipients increased the amount of health care they received, as measured by hospital admissions, outpatient visits, emergency department utilization, and medication use. Gaining Medicaid coverage did not produce significant health improvements in the Oregon experiment. On the three physical health measures assessed—blood pressure, cholesterol, and glycated hemoglobin levels (the measure of diabetes control)—people who gained Medicaid did not show a meaningful improvement. The results of this randomized, controlled study may indicate that more targeted programs, rather than coverage alone, are needed to improve health in low-income adults. Importantly, as a testament to the low-perceived value of Medicaid, 40 percent of people who won the lottery did not end up enrolling.
Further, follow-up studies from the Oregon experiment found that individuals who gained coverage valued it at a level significantly less than it was worth: $0.20 to $0.40 of welfare benefit to recipients per dollar of government spending.[13]
This specific finding of low enrollment is consistent with the approximately 5.1 million Americans eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) who remained uninsured in 2019.[14]
An economic analysis of the impact of the ACA on California's hospital sector found the expansion of health insurance (predominantly through Medicaid expansion) increased utilization of hospital and emergency room services but did not significantly improve patient health status when considering the primary metric of in-hospital mortality.[15]
Medicaid coverage also does not equate to better access to care. Two helpful indicators of access to care are wait times and primary care needs met.[16] In January 2017, Merritt Hawkins performed a national survey of these measures.[17] New York and Texas figured prominently. At the time, Texas had an uninsured rate of 17 percent and New York had the lowest uninsured rate in the country at 5.4 percent. New York also had the highest enrollment in Medicaid or CHIP at 32 percent. Texas had the lowest Medicaid/CHIP enrollment of just 16 percent, half of New York's rate. New York City, representing the state with the lowest uninsured rate, had wait times of 22 days to 28 days, while Dallas, Texas, had the shortest wait time in the entire nation, 16.5 days. New York, with its low uninsured rate and high Medicaid enrollment, satisfied the primary care needs of its population 45 percent of the time. The state with the highest uninsured rate and the lowest Medicaid enrollment, Texas, did the best: Texas doctors met the primary care needs of Texans 71 percent of the time. These indicators suggest that Medicaid coverage alone does not mean access to care.
Prior research demonstrated a work disincentive from public health insurance eligibility.[18] Due to significant budget deficits, Tennessee had to disenroll 170,000 individuals in 2005 after a 1994 Medicaid expansion which had included able-bodied adults in the newly eligible population. Of those disenrolled, 91% were childless adults. When studying the effects of disenrollment, a 2013 NBER analysis found "an immediate increase in job search behavior and a steady rise in both employment and health insurance coverage," indicating a relationship between expanded Medicaid eligibility and the labor market. This evidence suggests that federal Medicaid expansion would likely further impede economic recovery job growth.
Prior research found that nearly 54 percent of potential Medicaid expansion enrollees already had private insurance, indicating that a new federal program could shift millions of Americans from private coverage into taxpayer-funded health coverage.[19]
The current Medicaid program has been consuming a larger share of state budgets and thus competes with funding for education, infrastructure, workforce development, and tax cuts. In fiscal year 2017, states spent 17.1 cents of every state-generated dollar on providing Medicaid coverage, which is a 4.9 percentage point increase from 2000.[20] In fiscal year 2016, the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission found that states spent 15.9% of their budget (absent federal dollars) on Medicaid, compared to 24.5% on elementary and secondary education and 13.7% on higher education.[21] When federal spending is included, Medicaid is the largest budget item for states. Because statutory requirements on Medicaid coverage limit the flexibility of state policymakers, the increase in Medicaid as a share of the state budget means less funds are available for other priority areas like public education, workforce development, public safety, housing, transportation, tax cuts, and more. The state experience with increased Medicaid spending and its crowd-out effect on other budget priorities should inform the considerations for a new federal program.
