The Spit & Whittle Club grew from residents who met to reminisce about the old days. This is a free forum group and the posts are stories that have been told. Story telling benches can be found at Casa Grande Trading Post on Waldo Street, at the Cerrillos Bar on First Street and under the Simoni Portal on First Street.
We had the first Spit & Whittle Club meeting in the old box car. Years ago, it had been pushed by a bulldozer 2 miles up the Galisteo River from Waldo. Four of us enjoyed an hour of sharing stories and it did not fail - when telling stories we all remembered the incidents differently and we all saw things from different perspectives. The teller always said his peace about the tale and what had happen. We laughed and had a great time. Periodic meetings are held when inspired. You can send your Cerrillos stories to brownp52@yahoo.com.
In the winter of 2019 my wife and I went to California to see our daughter; our son and his wife and 2 of our grandchildren. We crossed the Mojave Desert. It was awesome. When we got to Tehachapi Pass we crossed over the mountain and were spellbound by how green the valley was. It was a different world. On the way to Arroyo Grande we saw miles of vegetables growing along with oranges and grapes. We could not believe the bounty of it all. We spent 4 days on the ocean having a great time with our family. Our plan was to continue our drive along the coast on US1. We really enjoyed it. We got to San Francisco, the city of my wife's birth, and went to Fisherman's Wharf. We rented a boat with my old friend as the pilot. I steered the whole time. We went out 1 mile past the Golden Gate Bridge. As we approached the bridge my friend said to be careful. I asked why and he said that on one of his tours someone had jumped off the bridge and missed the boat by 10 feet. He said that last summer 2 people jumped and missed the boat by 20 feet. We got past without incident. Beyond the bridge the ocean was quite large with waves. We returned to the dock and parted ways. My wife and I saw the sea lions on Pier 39. We left the city and crossed the bridge to continue our drive up the coast to Mendocino. The weather was changing and we rented a room overlooking the ocean. It was very fine. We came back to New Mexico through the Redwoods. We crossed the Sierra Nevada's. It was raining and flooding and snow was deep on the sides of the road. We barely got through. We went to Virginia City, south of Reno. It is an old mining town. We drove further west to Salt Lake City and down to Las Vegas, and Laughlin. We returned on Interstate 40 to New Mexico. We had a great time and are ready to go again.
I read many books in the winter time and came across this story from the 1770's told by Juan Lopez.
He began by explaining that long ago all the houses of Truchas were connected to make on large building, which could be closed up with all the villagers and their animals safe inside it in the event of Indian attack. Those were hard days, he said. You had to be constantly on guard against the Comanche's. They were always jealous of what the Spanish people had in their villages: good houses, horses, plenty of meat and grain, sometimes some wine.
One day the Indians caught the people of Truchas by surprise. They said, "Now you have to leave. We are taking your village. If you don't go away and let us have this place, we will kill all of you."
Well said Juan Lopez, it was very clear that the people of Truchas had to do what the Comanche's told them. They went away, but they did not go far. What the Indians did not know was that the Trucheros were prepared for just such an event to occur. When they had built the village years before, the men of Truchas had been smart enough to put strong locks on all the doors and windows. The peculiar thing about those locks was that they could be securely fastened not just from the inside, but from the outside of the building as well.
That night while the Indians feasted and drank and celebrated their victory, the people of Truchas crept back through the darkness to their village. Silently they threw the locks and barred the windows and doors so that the Indians could not get out. Then a few of the men climbed onto the flat roof of the building, and ristras of chile were handed up to them.
It was a cold night and the Indians had made a fire in every fireplace. The men on the roof separated and each one quietly tiptoed over to a different chimney and dropped the chiles down. Then he put a board over it to keep the smoke from coming out, and waited.
The effect was like tear gas. As anyone knows who has roasted chiles, the pepper releases a terrible gas when it burns. It irritates the eyes, nose, and mouth; it burns the throat and lungs. Pretty soon the Indians were in a panic. They ran for the doors, but they could not open them. They ran to the windows, but there was not way to get air. The smoke of burning chilies filled the rooms, and the Indians were blinded, choking, unable to breathe. They screamed to be let out.
The Trucheros said, "Will you do what we say?"
The Indians had to say yes.
The men opened a place for the Indians to throw out their weapons, and once that was done, they told the Indians that they would let them live only on the conditions that they go away and never make trouble for the village again. The Indians who were still coughing and choking from the smoke of the chiles, were only too happy to agree, and they swiftly disappeared into the night, never again to be seen or heard of in those parts.
One night in late July, Frankie, the sulcata tortoise broke down his gate and escaped. Our phone number is written on his carapace in fingernail polish and he has a tracking antenna on his back. The next day I was on a walk with the dogs on the old mining road behind our house.
e in the exact opposite direction.
I watch my trading post in Cerrillos. Many people tell me stories of their lives. Last week a man came in from Taos and we talked about the Gorge Bridge. He said 5 people had jumped this year already. You either see them jump or find their car abandoned. The highway department put up suicide hotline phones. If you use one the sheriff will be there in two minutes. He'll either arrest you or take you to the hospital.
We spend many hours at our Turquoise mines in the sun, wind and cold. The way of the desert to be sure. We build up our appetites. My wife and I are members of the Albuquerque Gem & Mineral Club. We try to go on the field trips and to monthly meetings at the museum of Natural History in Albuquerque. The club holds its annual Xmas dinner at the museum. Two years ago as we were waiting to eat, the rock club president gave a speech. He said my wife and I had made the first RSVP reservation and that meant that we got to enter the food line first. Now that is luck.
The last few years thousands of black crows have spent the winter flying over Cerrillos. Sometimes there are a hundred birds congregated in the trees and on the fence around my animal pen. At sunrise every morning two thousand fly east from where they sleep 5 miles west of Cerrillos in a large grove of Russian Olive trees by a large spring. At sunset the sky is black with crows as they all fly west again to roost. I have been watching their habits and wanted to tell what I have seen. It is now the end of January and the birds are flying to Cerrillos very early in the morning. They seem to have paired up for nesting somewhere. The first thousand birds are now flying 2x2 and what I call flying and diving. They dive and shake their wings to their mate and fly into them. Once they fly over the next group of crows just fly in a huge flock. I am thinking that maybe they are all males. Three weeks ago when all the crows were in Cerrillos eating, something very strange happened. The flock of crows for some reason all cawed at the same time making a very strange noise that startled me. It was like 1 bird cawing but all of them together at once. It was loud and lasted for 5 minutes. It was nature at its finest. As I write this I have 25 crows in my animal pen eating the chickens food, making a racket. I sort of like them. It is live entertainment.
I have been walking in the Cerrillos hills for 46 years. It used to be that the cattle had it so striped out from over grazing that the land would not hold wildlife, not even a rabbit. The cows are mostly gone now that we have a state park. The flora & fauna are returning. We have a good herd of deer, many coyotes, porcupines, raccoons, bears, rabbit and now badgers. About 6 years ago I started noticing the ripping up of cactus roots all over the hills north of Cerrillos. Large areas were being dug by something. It turns out to be a pair of badgers. This week while driving a dirt road in the area a small animal crossed in front of me. He looked at me and ran for 100 feet in front of my truck all the while turning to look back at me. It was a badger. He was about 20" long and 12" wide. He was so cute to see. I always wanted to see one. He turned off the road and went slowly up the hill. I really wanted to walk with him and follow but did not. It is good to know they are around.
I volunteer as the film liaison for Cerrillos. When a movie comes to town I help with names and numbers if they want to talk to someone about filming a residential location. They usually make a donation to our community association. The donations help buy Christmas decorations and Santa comes in December with presents for the kids. One spring a movie company came and wanted to film in the hills west of town. They made their donation. One week later we heard lots of gun fire to the west. I was driving around town at lunch time. What I saw startled me. Down on First Street were men in Muslim robes and women in burkas. They had taken over our town. They were from the movie. They were having lunch in one of the buildings on First Street. The movie was "Seal Team Six - Raid on Osama Bin Laden". The scene west of town was in a canyon with the Taliban shooting the Seal Team. I saw it on T.V. It was fun to watch. Hollywood does comes to Cerrillos.
In the summer of 2013, a man in Santa Fe said he had buried a chest full of coins, gold and treasure worth several million dollars. He had cancer and wanted someone else to have his riches. He wrote a book called Thrill of the Chase. In it was a poem containing clues to the treasurers location. I didn't really care about this until one day!
I just turned 62 years old. I splurged on a present for our mining museum and bought the last mining car to come out of the San Pedro mine, 20 miles south of Cerrillos. Ten years ago all the mining cars and engine had been sold to a mine company in Mexico but this mining cart had been set up on a nearby property. It still works and dumps perfectly. It is a great honor for our mining museum in Cerrillos to have it on display.
When I was younger, I had a horse and was quite good at riding. I would find strange spots to be aware of. One of these spots was south of Cerrillos along the river where there is an outcrop of rock. As I was riding one day I took the horse into that spot. The horse sank up to her belly. It was quicksand. I quickly got off and pulled the horse out. I had to startle it with a yell to get it out. I pulled and pulled and finally it became free. It was a close call. I never took the horse there again.
This really happened. It was during a winter blizzard in Cerrillos, around 3 am in the morning I was awakened by the sound of Canadian Geese. A large flock, at least 200 of them. I got up and poked my head out the bedroom door. The snow and wind were galing. I looked out and could not believe what I was seeing. It was so windy that the large flock of geese were flying as fast as they could but were going backwards. The wind was so strong. They were only 30 or 40 feet above the ground. After 10 minutes of this situation, the birds veered off to the low hills to land. They rested there until morning. By then the storm had passed and they took off again heading west to the Rio Grande River. To me it seemed they were migrating south and had come down on the east side of the Rocky Mountains. They were flying west to the Rio Grande heading for their winter home in the Bosque south of Albuquerque.
During prohibition some residents of Los Cerrillos found a way to circumvent the laws against alcohol. They dug tunnels from the Galisteo river to the cellars of some of the houses in the village. They were not dug very high as a lot of work was not the order of the day especially people looking forward to a drink! These entrepreneurs created a system of delivery by going through the Tabor property at the corner of First and River street to the then Martinez cellar (8 First Street) and eventually to the What Not Shop on First Street. Some time ago Mitch, owner of this establishment showed me the tunnel door in one of the two remaining cellars in the village. Most of the tunnels have collapsed over time. Daniel Tabor then living at the now vacant property told me of a backhoe falling into a hole in the yard. He said it was one of the tunnels.
I had a party at my house one day. I had been having a problem with a skunk hidden under my building. As we talked I said please help me get it out. I found a long narrow board. We sprayed water under the foundation and the skunk came out running. I chased him with the long board. I would swat the ground making him run faster away. I did not want him back again. All at one moment the skunk jumped up on his 2 front feet lifted his tail and sprayed me. I was covered. I returned to the party and I smelled so bad that everyone left and I was all alone. No one would come near me. My wife would not come near me. I used catsup to wash up with. I bathed 10 times. I smelled for 5 days but I never saw that skunk again.
but we inside are warm and safe.
The turf fire smolders in the iron grate.
seeks shelter from the storm tossed marsh.
as ice creeps along the rocky shore.
A bitter wind rattles through the frozen reeds.
I shiver on the cusp of sleep.
They call me out to lonely peaks.
Where Are My Garbage Cans?
Is Cerrillos a Fellini village? About ten years ago when dogs dozed in the street and the pace of life was slow an interesting man by the name of Nappi lived in town. He owned a gold mine in Alaska which he had been trying to sell for some time. While he was being patient about a sale he liked to attend the occasional used vehicle auction in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. One day I spotted his pickup truck stopped at the corner of Main and First streets. As he proceeded toward his home I realized the jumble of wheels in the bed as an assortment of bicycles. I gave it no further thought until about ten days later I discovered every kid in town had a bicycle, one of those old types with streamers on the handles and back pedal brakes. Nappi had bought the lot at auction and repaired them as gifts for the village children! Strange and wonderful things happen in Cerrillos.
In the late 1980's many people in Cerrillos would go deer hunting in the mountains. We would go and get a $20 license for 2 weeks of hunting. You could get a male deer of 150 lbs for $20 if you were a good hunter. During the season everyone would share stories and knew who had been sucessful bagging his limit. On a late in the day hunt, friends were coming back to Cerrillos on the dirt road south of Madrid. It had been a long day for them. They told me this story, it went like this.
My wife & I love to walk the hills. We have grandchildren now. We like to show them the beauty of nature. One summer evening my wife wanted to take flashlights and walk at dusk with one of our grandsons. I did not think this was a good idea so I decided to go along. We parked the truck by the head of the trail. We were in shorts and light clothing. About 100 feet up the trail we met a bicyclist and his dog coming down the trail. We jumped back to get out of their way. We said hello and they kept going downhill. We walked 10 feet further and there in the middle of the trail was a tightly coiled rattle snake. We were only two feet in front of him, almost on top of it when I heard the rattles. I jerked my grandson back quickly and jumped back myself. I dropped the flashlight on the snake. We needed a long stick to get to the flashlight. I think what happened was the bicyclist ran over the snake; then he coiled and we immediately walked upon him. He did not strike and we did not go any further. We did not finish our walk, but came home and counted our blessings.
I want to tell you of a place of great beauty that is worth seeing. In the area around Cerrillos there is a lot of windblown and weathered sandstone. The best area of sandstone is the pure white arch. It is 20 ft across & 15 ft high. It is located in a one-acre formation of sandstone. To get to it you go to the Cochiti exit on I-25 and walk one mile east. The volcano flow heated the sandstone into pure white rock. It is a holy place to visit and enjoy.
Many years ago, my friend and I had a job removing a dead tree from the Cerrillos plaza. We had talked about how to do it. He would notch the tree and I would push it over. It seemed do-able. We drove up to the tree site. He started cutting it down. Wouldn't you know, the tree fell the other way right on top of the truck. It bent the bed a lot. The one thing good about it was that it was already loaded and ready to take away. Our luck.
I raise animals to show them to the public. Many people come to feed them at my Cerrillos Petting Zoo. I want to tell you a few owl incidents that have happened so far. I like owls and respect their presence. On one dark stormy night after my goats had their babies, I awoke hearing the bah of the goats. I quickly knew that something was wrong. I ran down the stair and grabbed a flashlight. I did not believe what I was seeing. A male Great Horned owl had one of the baby goats 6-feet in the air, hanging from his talons. He was trying to fly away with it. As I yelled out; the owl dropped it back into the pen. The baby goat was okay. I put all the babies back in the barn and was more on guard into the nights.
When I came to Cerrillos in 1970 the Tiffany Restaurant was going strong. The two ladies opened it in the 60's and hired many people from town. The Melodrama became the pride of the restaurant. The 4 star business made Cerrillos a better place. Buses & Cadillacs would come into town filled with people who wanted to eat there and its reputation grew. They had a player piano, an ornate old bar and a famous bean soup. The newly arrived hippies in the village were not allowed into the restaurant. It was embarrassing.
One time they decided to group together and 20 hippies went into the restaurant. The sheriff was called and everyone was arrested and taken into Santa Fe to jail. I did not participate in this. The owners, after many years, were getting old & tired. They leased the restaurant to a nephew and his wife. He did not seem to have a go for it and had a failing business quite quickly. The bartender he had hired was asked to burn down the restaurant so he could collect the insurance money. Twice he tried. Gasoline on the roof did not work. The second time was gasoline in the cellar. This time it ignited and the place went up in flames. The funny thing here was - during the fire the hippies worked very hard getting out the two owner's furniture and possessions. Everything was put out into the road. After the home was emptied the bar from the house was brought out to the center of the road. Everyone had a free drink on the house as we watched Tiffanies Restaurant burn down. Today it remains an empty lot at the intersection of First and Main Street and only memories exist. I was there to tell the story.
Leaving Cerrillos to visit my good friend and mining buddy in Bisbee, Arizona, my wife and I stayed in Bisbee for 3 days. We were mining in the Santa Rita mountains for Chrysocolla for our shop. On a Saturday night we visited Tombstone, Arizona. We partied at Big Nose Kates Bar. We had a grand old time. We got a little tipsy. Upon leaving my friend was sitting in the back of the vehicle. He said that he wasn't feeling well and could I put down the window quickly. It wasn't quick enough. He relieved himself inside the vehicle and finally out the window. I stopped the truck and all 3 of us sat on the curb on Main Street in Tombstone. It was very quiet, nothing was happening. My friend finally looked up and said to me " I lost my denture teeth". He had spit them out the window while relieving himself. At that moment all three of us turned our heads down the street and there they were, shining in the moon light, in the center of the road. His pearly whites. His teeth. He quickly ran to get them and put them back in place. It was an amazing moment in time. The moonlight shinning so very bright - on those pearly whites.
I have the mining museum in Cerrillos. I have three stories of Japanese tourists to tell. A bus stopped in front of my shop and 25 people came in one day. They all went into the museum and said nothing to me. After fifteen minutes they all came out and went back onto the bus. No one payed me admission. They were all from Japan and must not have understood the sign saying $2 admission. "My luck" I call it.
On a snowy day one Japanese tourist came into the shop and went into the museum. After 30 minutes I checked on him. I could not believe what I was seeing. He had stacked a huge pile of the antiques from the museum in the middle of the room. "How much" he said. I told him nothing in the museum was for sale and put everything back in place. "You just never know".
I grew up on the ocean. We had a winter home on the north shore of Long Island. In the summer we had a cottage on the south shore. Oak Beach was an island near Fire Island on the south shore. I learned sailing, fishing, clamming, water skiing, surfing, spear fishing and boating there.
My wife and I and all my good friends have help me build our Trading Post in Cerrillos, New Mexico. It is a 28 room adobe made of 65,000 adobe bricks. It is called Casa Grande Trading Post. We try to keep it open every day. It also houses the Cerrillos Petting Zoo and Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum also. We sell Turquoise products from our mining claims. We also have a rock, bottle and gift shop. Many days I sit watching the shop. I want to tell you of a few unique moments that I have had. Last year a man arrived and after 20 minutes came up to the counter with a red rock. I said $2.00 please. He was overjoyed to purchase it. As he was closing the front door he said to me. "I hope this is a good piece of turquoise, I am color blind". It was a red rock. I didn't want to lose the sale and he was already out the door. $2.00 is $2.00. I told my wife what happened and she was mad at me for not saying anything to him. Another time a man came into the shop with a cane. He proceeded to hit and move everything in the shop with it. He totally rearranged the shop. As he left he said "Thank you, I am blind". My luck! Many people ask me where our bathroom facilities are. I say "out front, end of the building". Four times already they have gone out the door, across the street to my neighbors house. I don't know why they do this. This spring a goose wondered up from First Street, it came up to the door, looked in and honked. Two times already when I go to sit on the front porch, snakes are there. There are many stories to tell here and it keeps happening every day. I just sit and watch it all happen.


So when I was at home at the weekend, I popped over to see Elton John perform in my local stadium. It was a brilliant show, but what particularly amazed me was the standard of the two support acts. In particular, Tallia Storm. Tallia is only 13 years old and is extremely talented. A mixture of RnB and Jazz, Tallia's voice will simply blow you away as it did me. In my opinion, this is a girl who has the potential to achieve the same fame as perhaps Adele or Sir Elton John himself. She is very talented and will go very far. Did I mention she's Scottish?
I, for one, am a fan and I hope you are too.
I thought the stadium didn't do her justice but have listened again at home and I too am blown away!


Most cheap flights travellers have confronted the occasional second of clarity after they have questioned their own wisdom in utilizing low-cost flights carriers. In case you plan your flight with one companion, look at American Airlines. Flying an aeroplane is not any straightforward process. Discover one of the best worth on flights to our hottest destinations from airports across Canada. Most airlines have a complex grading system in place for ticket prices.
Everyone flying into East Midlands Airport from outside the UK needs to cross through Customs and Immigration. It had a row of windows, so it wasn't a cargo airplane however there was no indication of what the airline was. The accident was caused by the relief first officer's flight control inputs which brought on the airplane's departure from normal cruise flight and subsequent impression with the Atlantic Ocean.
While I was approach too younger for the Second World Struggle, I certainly bear in mind the entire early motion pictures about it, and the distinguished function the B17 Flying Fortress plane performed in it. A typical airline will serve 1000's of meals to passengers day by day.
Approximately 80 percent of all aviation accidents happen shortly earlier than, after, or during takeoff or touchdown, and are often described as ensuing from 'human error' while mid-flight disasters are uncommon but not fully unheard date there are 5,287 accidents recorded within the plane crash database.
The reality of it's, a pilot should use an plane's flaps in numerous configurations throughout totally different situations depending upon wind velocity, wind route, altitude, airspeed, and the length of the runway you're touchdown on. Setting your flaps too early will result in a excessive strategy, with you overcorrecting by dive-bombing the runway.

A restraining order in California is a court-issued order to protect a person from physical pain or injury or even the threat of pain, injury or abuse. It can generally be issued against a family member, a member of the household or against someone who is threatening your safety. You don't have to be married or in a relationship with a person to get a restraining order. What you do need to know is where the person lives or works.
There are two types of court orders that prevent an individual from having any contact with a person who requested the order. A criminal protective order prevents a person from having any type of contact with a particular person or even visiting a certain place. This type of order is common in criminal cases. A restraining order, on the other hand, is a civil matter and is not contingent on a criminal case although they can be a part of a criminal case such as a domestic violence case.
This aspect of California family law can be very complicated. Therefore it is essential that you speak with an experienced California restraining order lawyer.

Emergency Protective Order (EPO): This type of restraining order is used mostly by law enforcement and is a temporary order, valid for five days. It is common in domestic violence or other criminal cases.
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO): This civil restraining order is also a temporary court order valid for three weeks. This is also common in domestic violence cases where victims are often able to extend the order or make it permanent for up to three years.
Civil Harassment Restraining Order: This is a civil order that is used to stop harassment by a certain individual for harassment, stalking, etc.

The main goal of all these restraining orders is to protect one individual from another individual who threatens injury or harm. They prevent annoyance, harassment, stalking, disturbing the peace, having any type of contact and coming within 100 yards of the protected person's home or place of work. The obvious advantage for a victim is security. If the restrained person violates the order, for example possessing a firearm, there are immediate consequences. He or she will be arrested for violating a court order.
A restraining order may protect someone who is in fear of being physically harmed.
If you are someone who has received a restraining order, know that you have rights too. You must be officially served with the restraining order. You also have the right to file a response to the allegations made by the person who petitioned for the restraining order. You will have up to 20 days usually before the court hearing to file this response. You cannot request the judge to deny the order, but you can request changes or modifications to the order.
If you are a victim, a restraining order gives you security and peace of mind. If you are someone who has been restrained, it can greatly affect your life and your relationships.

The statistic shows the estimated total costs of the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil, including the costs for stadium construction and renovation, urban mobility projects, upgrades at airports, public security and military defence forces, port infrastructure, telecommunications networks and services, complementary work for the Confederations Cup and tourism infrastructure projects. The costs for stadium construction and renovation are estimated at around 3.6 billion U.S. dollars.
The 2014 World Cup in Brazil cost an estimated $11.6 billion. Less than 15% of this cost was covered by private investors, with the rest of the funds coming from federal and state budgets. These figures were updated on average every nine months by the Brazilian government since they were first published in January 2010.
The biggest costs in the 2014 World Cup were the stadiums and the Urban Mobility Projects, which included improvement to the road and transport networks as well as integrated monitoring systems for all host cities. Of the 12 host cities, five had brand new venues built specifically for the tournament while the Estádio Nacional in the capital, Brasilia, was demolished and completely rebuilt. The remaining six stadiums were extensively renovated in preparation for the World Cup.
With an estimated one million foreign tourists visiting Brazil during the month-long event, substantial investment was also needed in the country's airports ($2.6 billion) and public security systems ($797 million), as well as in tourist infrastructure projects ($76 million).
Despite the extensive publicity and income that a World Cup generates for a host nation, with such high costs that ultimately have to be covered by the federal government, it is unsurprising that, before the start of the World Cup, 61% of Brazilians thought that the tournament would be a bad thing for Brazil.
* Such as bus rapid transit systems, road corridors, stadium access improvements and integrated monitoring systems for all host cities.

Custom Logbooks Save Time and Money | Log Books Unlimited®: Your Online LogBooks Store. Buy Today!
What's the difference between a custom and a standard log book? It turns out that it could be hundreds of dollars per book in savings - when going with custom. Surprising? Yes. How is it possible?
How long will it take you to write all of this on the page?
Assuming that for logging such events you develop shorthand, it still could take upwards of 3-4 minutes. Perhaps your logbook needs are much simpler and it only takes 1 minute to write out all sections that repeat daily. If you write quickly (and sometimes illegibly) it could come down to only 25 seconds per page.
Compared directly, a custom logbook seems more expensive than a standard one. However, this conclusion only works before factoring-in the time savings. 2.5+ hours of operations(per book) will cost significantly more than $100 in most situations, which means that ordering customized books is often worth it.
As the table shows, even ordering one custom log book can be more cost effective than a standard book in the long run. As the quantities increase the choice becomes pretty clear - keep in mind, this table illustrates only 25 seconds of writing redundant input per page.
What will a custom logbook mean for you?
Instead of general examples, why not look at your own particular needs and estimate the savings you stand to gain. Below is a calculator that will help you estimate the time and money you can save with custom logbooks. The first step is to identify (roughly) what you could print instead of writing every time. The easiest way to do that is to go through 5-10 of your daily logs and look for similarities. A more indepth guide on this can be found at our article about logbook page design.
You can now see the hourly and monetary savings for your order. This is on a per-book basis. Head over to our custom logbooks quote system and get an instant price estimate for your custom order.


Will round or teardrop breast implants give you more natural-looking results? What about the right feel? Which type of implant will yield a desirable soft, feminine contour?
Choosing the best implant for your breast augmentation procedure is a big decision and a question that ultimately depends on your individual preferences, as well as the characteristics of the breasts you have right now. Fortunately, this isn't a decision you have to make on your own. Your plastic surgeon will discuss your expectations and options for the look you wish to achieve, the implants that will help you get the aesthetic you want and the feel of your new breasts after surgery.
I'll go through the specifics of each of these factors to help you choose the best implants for you. The more you know, the more confident you can be with the choices you make for your breast implant surgery.
Whilst you may have dozens of questions for your surgeon, he or she is going to have a critical question for you. What do you want your breasts to look like? What are your aesthetic priorities?
I find that most of my patients desire natural-looking results. With this objective, the goal is to augment the breasts in a way that enhances the current shape and dimensions appropriately. Your surgeon will take into consideration both what you want, as well as the shape, size, and the current consistency of your breasts, to determine which implants will blend with your breasts, to yield a natural looking result, a fuller shape or an ultra-look.
Which Implants Can You Choose?
With a clear idea of the look you want and the dimensions of your breasts now, it's time to decide on the type of implant that will give you the aesthetic you're after. In terms of shape, there are two primary types of silicone implants to consider.
Round shaped breast implants are the better choice if you want more fullness towards the upper region of your breasts, also known as the upper pole. They are also capable of yielding a more tender touch. This is because round shaped implants have a softer silicone consistency.
Teardrop breast implants are an excellent choice, if you want a more natural contour and shapely breasts. Teardrop implants have a firmer gel consistency.
Whilst round and teardrop are the two main shapes, there are a variety of dimensions available for each type to give you a custom approach to enhancing your breasts.
How Will Your New Breasts Feel?
It is also essential to consider the feel of your breasts – both the physical and the emotional feel. The more natural the feel, in terms of touch and how you experience them, the more natural looking the results will be.
The physical feel of your new breasts is influenced by the dimensions and consistency of your breasts before surgery. For example, you're going to get a different outcome in how they feel if you started out with a tighter, flat chest shape and an AA cup size than if your pre-surgery breasts were a deflated, post-pregnancy C-cup.
How you feel about yourself with your new breasts is another factor to consider. Will you hold your head up high because your post-pregnancy breasts are now well-filled out again, or you have a full, round boost in the upper pole? High profile, round shaped silicone implants will offer this boosted, voluptuous aesthetic.
Or maybe you'll feel confident with an elegant silhouette and enhanced cleavage. A medium profile, teardrop shaped silicone implant, will create the better shaping and will transform a formerly flat look into a well-defined contour.
When you're choosing the shape, as well as the size of your breast implants, know that the way you feel post-surgery is how you're going to ultimately look. This is why I tell all my patients, choosing the right implant is all about the look and feel, based on what you want and what you've got. Because when you feel drop-dead gorgeous, that's exactly how you'll look.

Police Treat Stabbings at UK Shopping Mall as Terrorism Incident
October 11, 2019UK
MANCHESTER, England—British police said five people had been injured after a man lunged at passers-by with a large knife in a shopping center in northern England on Oct. 11 in a "brutal" attack officers were treating as terrorism.
The man attacked people around him and chased two unarmed officers shortly after entering Manchester's Arndale shopping center in the heart of the city at about 11.15 a.m. (local time), police said.
He was overpowered by armed officers, with pictures on social media showing them using a stun gun to detain him. The man, in his 40s, was arrested on suspicion of terrorism although police said his motivation was not yet clear.

"He was armed with a large knife and … he began lunging and attacking people with the knife," Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson told reporters.
"Two unarmed police community support officers … attempted to confront the attacker. He then chased them with a knife as they were calling for urgent assistance. The man attacked people around him and we understand five people were injured by him."
Earlier, police said three people had suffered stab wounds; two women, one aged 19, and a man aged in his 50s. Jackson said the injuries were "nasty" but none had suffered life-threatening wounds.
"We do not know the motivation for this terrible attack, it appears random—it's certainly brutal and of course extremely frightening for anyone who witnessed it," Jackson said.
"We have the man we believe to be the attacker safely in custody. We will now be working to understand why he committed this awful attack."
Britain has long been at a high state of alert and is currently at its second-highest threat level, meaning an attack is considered highly likely.

Manchester was the location for Britain's most deadly attack in recent years when Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old Briton born to Libyan parents, killed 22 people in May 2017 when he blew himself up at the end of a pop concert by Ariana Grande at the Manchester Arena, not far from the Arndale center.
The ISIS terrorist group said it was responsible in the immediate aftermath of that bombing, but security services have always treated the claim with skepticism. Abedi's brother, who is suspected of involvement, was extradited from Libya in July.
"This is bound to bring back memories of the awful events of 2017," Jackson said. "At this time we do not believe there was anyone else involved in this attack but we will constantly be keeping this under review."
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Twitter: "Shocked by the incident in Manchester and my thoughts are with the injured and all those affected."

RPO Steps Up
Savvy talent management strategies will be a key differentiator in 2015.
By Russ Banham
The competitive talent landscape has put RPO on the front burner of HR, with several trends heating up as the New Year approaches. No organization wants to be caught with skill sets that are inferior to the competition or risk highly talented individuals heading in their direction. This explains why RPO has moved from the back office to the strategy table. Automating manual processes are still important, but only if they achieve global strategic talent management aims.
Trends that focus on strategy include enhanced interest in global RPO solutions that look, act, and pretty much work differently across global entities, followed by greater use of predictive data analytics to gauge retention risks; the creation of progressively unique workforce compositions; heightened interest in assessing current employees for internal hiring; and stepped-up movement toward the development of talent communities.
The Shift To Global
In this regard, one size fits all is not the answer. "We all think that 'global RPO' means one program all over the world, where the processes and systems are standardized and consistent, but this is not the best solution because recruiting is a local business," says Sue Marks, CEO of RPO provider Cielo. "While there is an evolution toward centralized global delivery design, there is still a need for more decentralized approaches in each market."
She explains that a global client wants its recruitment platform to look one way in the U.S. and another way in Germany, tailored to reflect each market's cultural differences and unique workflows. Nevertheless, the core of the RPO system from a delivery standpoint is consistent across all countries. "This type of hybrid solution continues to gain more traction," says Marks.
A factor in this acceleration is that many companies may brand themselves as global, but the truth is they still tend to operate on a country-by-country basis, given cultural, economic, and regulatory differences. To create more efficiency from an operations and recruitment standpoint, many global companies have developed regional shared service centers, gradually easing the way for these businesses to be serviced by a single global RPO provider.
In other words, global is becoming more global by the day. "The move to shared service centers is shifting the dynamic from country-by country organizations to more global organizations in the ways they operate and acquire talent," explains Jeanne MacDonald, president of talent solutions at RPO provider Futurestep. "This is rousing the interest and belief that having one global RPO provider network can work."
Changing Workforce Demographics
Another trend that continues to have legs is the migration of unique workforce compositions that include all sorts of workers—full-time employees, part-time employees, independent contractors, and even retired employees brought back for a project or two, among other configurations. The challenge from a recruitment standpoint is to identify the optimum composition and dynamically assist its evolution.
While this progression has been more evident in the U.K. and throughout parts of Europe, the implementation of the employer mandate component of the Affordable Care Act on January 1, 2015, is expected to change many full-time employees into contractors, creating new recruitment challenges.
"Companies will likely move to more of a blended talent acquisition strategy like we see in EMEA, which has implications for RPO strategy, systems, and vendor management," says Beth Roekle, senior vice president, operations, at RPO provider Advantage xPO.
George Vollmer, global business partner at talent acquisition firm Alexander Mann Solutions, suggests another wrinkle to this new workforce model. "More and more of our customers are not focused just on external hiring, but internal too," says Vollmer. "Why actively recruit externally for a position when the organization may have people internally who fit the bill? The goal should be to focus on existing assets and optimizing them."
Re-recruiting this internal talent extends beyond simply posting a job opening. "Companies are looking for technologies like a skills register, where they can populate internal profiles of employees," Vollmer says. "This then gives them a good sense of the talent they already have inside the business."
When a job becomes available or is about to open, employees can peruse this information in real time on their mobile devices. HR also can reach out directly
to certain employees whose skills register indicates appropriateness for the position. Finally, employees expressing interest in certain types of jobs can sign up to be immediately notified when these positions become available.
This makes sense as companies have spent all this money getting top talent in the door—as well as training and developing them. The next logical step would be to assess their respective strengths and skills and their applicability to wide-ranging types of jobs—an engineer with an interest in finance.
As this form of internal re-recruitment takes hold, it will have significant cultural implications. As reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person born in the latter years of the baby boom (1957-1964) held 11.3 jobs during their career. "I think we will see much longer job tenures for the Millennial generation, compared to baby boomers that moved from one company to the next," Vollmer projects. "The pendulum is swinging the other way."
It is also swinging toward the development of talent communities as a recruitment device. Spawned by social media, such communities are an interactive way for people of like minds and interests to join together conversationally, albeit online. "We're seeing more investment in talent communities as recruitment vehicles," says MacDonald.
One way in which a talent community can be leveraged from a recruiting standpoint is when an employer develops a micro-site focused on a specific topic. For example, say Microsoft is looking to increase its diversity by hiring more female programmers. The company launches a micro-site for women that discusses why working for a technology company can be a dynamic experience. This then triggers women to be interested in a job with the organization, while also cementing Microsoft as a female-focused culture. "The goal is to proactively engage people with specific skill sets, even if you don't need these skills today," MacDonald explains.
Roekle agrees that social media has finally caught on as a recruitment tool. "Five years ago, a lot of customers were afraid of social media," she says. "Three years ago the fear had faded, but there was still some lingering skepticism. Now people really understand the importance of leveraging social media and putting out content that maybe isn't at all job-related. This is how one builds a truly engaging talent community that soon proliferates."
And when it does, an employment brand is forged.

Valley rescue running low on water, hot weather supplies
Jun 3, 2014, 12:42 PM | Updated: 12:42 pm
BY BOB MCCLAY
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Rescue Mission has issued a "code red" for heat relief supplies.
As temperatures top 110 degrees or more in the Valley, the non-profit agency said it is running dangerously low on water to give to the homeless and elderly shut-ins.
"We need food, water, heat-relief supplies and hygiene kits," said Cliff Danley.
Danley, a former homeless man, drives the Phoenix Rescue Mission's Hope Coach and hands out water and other supplies to homeless people wherever he finds them.
One man that he came across on Monday sticks out in his mind.
"We came up on an individual who was literally passed out under a shade tree in a parking lot with his mouth wide open," Danley said.
He was able to revive the man and give him cold water that he desperately needed.
Anyone can drop off water Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at the mission's warehouse, located at 1468 N. 26th Ave. in Phoenix.
Valley cities, churches and businesses are also helping to collect heat relief items. For a complete list of drop-off locations and what items are needed, go to phoenixrescuemission.org.

La expedición de Cayo Confites fue un movimiento militar contra Rafael Leónidas Trujillo originado en Cuba en 1947 que promovió la invasión armada para derrocar el régimen. Su nombre proviene del cayo perteneciente al archipiélago de Camagüey en el océano Atlántico llamado Cayo Confites.

Inicios
Para principios de 1947 en medio de los aires democráticos de la posguerra, Trujillo se encontraba rodeado de gobiernos opuestos a su dictadura: Rómulo Betancourt en Venezuela, Juan José Arévalo en Guatemala, Ramón Grau San Martín en Cuba y Elie Lescot en Haití. Cuando Trujillo se entera de que el gobierno de Cuba está involucrando y apoyando en su territorio la salida de la invasión le envía un mensaje al presidente de Cuba que desde que los expedicionarios pisaran territorio dominicano tanto La Habana como Santiago de Cuba serán bombardeados por la Fuerza Aérea Dominicana. En tal sentido el jefe militar cubano ordena la intercepción de las embarcaciones para evitar la invasión y como consecuencia el bombardeo a su país. Mientras el presidente de Cuba trata de obtener el apoyo del presidente de Haití Elie Lescot a quien se le pide que permita que las fuerzas invasoras puedan tener un territorio donde puedan invadir por tierra y además de tener un espacio donde puedan almacenar armas. Elie Lescot además de acceder a sus peticiones le donó $25 000 como contribución a los expedicionarios.

Luego de un congreso unificador el exilio dominicano celebrado en la Universidad de La Habana, quedó constituido el frente unido de la liberación Dominicana, con Ángel Morales como presidente, Ramón del Lara y Juan Isidro Jiménez Grullón secretarios, Leovigildo Cuello delegado plenipotenciario y Juan Bosch delegado especial ante los países americanos.

Esta dirección hizo gestiones ante los gobiernos americanos del área del Caribe con la finalidad de obtener ayuda para una acción militar contra Trujillo.

Desarrollo
En enero de 1945 Juan Bosch viaja a México, a Venezuela en octubre  donde se entrevistó con el presidente Rómulo Betancourt, y en noviembre viajó a Haití donde el Presidente Ellie Lescot le entregó la suma de 25 000 dólares como aporte a la lucha contra Trujillo.

En enero de 1946 Juancito Rodríguez, un rico terrateniente de la La Vega, salió al exilio y se puso al frente de los planes expedicionarios que se encontraban en La Habana.

José Manuel Alemán, Ministro de Educación del gobierno de Grau San Martín, que como el contacto entre los exiliados dominicanos y el gobierno cubano, mientras que Manolo Castro Director de deportes del mismo ministerio, dirigente del movimiento socialista revolucionario MSR se puso al frente de las labores de reclutamiento de voluntarios cubanos para la expedición.

Tomando como base de operaciones las instalaciones del hotel San Luis en La Habana, dominicanos, cubanos y de otras nacionalidades lograron conformar un ejército de más de 1000 hombres, entre ellos, veteranos de la guerra civil española y de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

El 13 de julio de 1947, los exiliados eligieron un comité central para dirigir la expedición integrado por:
Juancito Rodríguez García
Ángel Morales
Leovigildo Cuello
Juan Bosch
Juan Isidro Jiménez Grullón

Batallones
Días después, los expedicionarios salen de La Habana hacia el politécnico de Holguín en el oriente de Cuba donde reciben entrenamiento militar bajo las órdenes de Manolo Bordas quien ostentaba el rango de teniente del ejército estadounidense y quien organizó a los expedicionarios en cuatro batallones:

Batallón Sandino, comandante, Rolando Masferrer, cubano, abogado y veterano de la guerra civil española
Batallón Guiteras, comandante Eufemio Fernández, cubano, médico y veterano de la Guerra civil Española
Batallón Luperón, comandante Jorge Rivas Monte, hondureño, militar de carrera graduado de la escuela militar de Guatemala
Batallón Máximo Gómez, comandante Feliciano Mederne, militar de carrera jefe de la expedición de Gibara

Del politécnico de Holguín los expedicionarios fueron trasladados bahía de Nipe donde les esperaba el buque Aurora y la goleta Berta con gran parte del cargamento para la expedición; abordaron los barcos y se dirigieron hacia un cayo perteneciente al archipiélago de Camagüey en el océano Atlántico llamado Cayo Confites.

El gobierno estadounidense, al enterarse de los planes de invasión, comenzó a presionar al presidente Grau San Martín para que detuviera la acción militar que se preparaba contra Trujillo; con ese propósito su embajador en La Habana Henry Norweb en julio de 1947 visitó dos veces al presidente Grau y dos veces al canciller de su gobierno.

Reacción de Trujillo
El 22 de julio de 1947 Trujillo se enteró de los planes de invasión contra él desde territorio cubano e inició una serie de protestas por la vía diplomática contra el gobierno de Cuba. Semanas después ante la inminente salida de los expedicionarios, Trujillo declaró: "Desde que el primer invasor pise tierra dominicana, comenzaremos a bombardear la ciudad de La Habana."

Implicados
En medio de ejercicios militares, prácticas de desembarco y otras maniobras, los expedicionarios de Cayo Confites esperaban más barcos, así como completar un buen número de aviones para un sólido respaldo aéreo. Al entrar el mes de septiembre, el movimiento contaba con 4 barcos, 13 aviones y 1200 hombres armados. Entre los expedicionarios se encontraban:

José Horacio Rodríguez
Ramón Emilio Mejía (Pichirilo Mejía)
Mauricio Báez
Miguel Ángel Ramírez Alcántara
Fidel Castro
Carlos Gutiérrez Menoyo
Humberto Castelló Aldanás
Rolando Masferrer
Pedro Mir
Francisco Alberto Horacio Vázquez

Fracaso
Mientras los expedicionarios esperaban que los aviones fueran equipados con armamento de combate para poder iniciar la invasión a Santo Domingo contando con respaldo aéreo, el general Genovevo Pérez Damera, jefe del ejército cubano, viajó a Washington DC, donde se entrevistó con altos militares del ejército norteamericano y con diplomáticos al servicio de Trujillo.

Varios días después el general Pérez Damera procedió a confiscar un cargamento de armas de la finca del ministro José Manuel Alemán y a intervenir el local que los expedicionarios de cayo Confites tenían en el hotel Sevilla. Paralelo a la acción de Pérez Damera, el embajador norteamericano en Cuba, Henry Norweb, exhorta a los aviadores Rupert E. Waddel, Thomas Sawyer y Hollis Smith, los tres estadounidenses comprometidos en Cayo Confites, a que regresen a Estados Unidos y abandonen la expedición; los pilotos se acogen al llamado y regresan a su país.

El 21 de septiembre de 1947 los expedicionarios de Cayo Confites deciden salir del cayo al enterarse por la radio del allanamiento del hotel Sevilla y ante los rumores de que el jefe del ejército se rebelaría contra el gobierno.

Luego de deserciones de tropas, confusiones entre las naves expedicionarias y escaramuzas con la marina cubana, los expedicionarios fueron obligados a desembarcar en el puerto de Antillas, donde fueron apresados, desarmados y conducidos al recinto militar de Columbia en La Habana.

Finalidad de las armas
Estando prisionero en Colombia Juan Bosch se declaró en huelga de hambre hasta tanto no fueran liberados todos los expedicionarios. Luego de un acuerdo entre el general Pérez Damera y Bosch los prisioneros fueron liberados y los dirigentes del movimiento iniciaron gestiones ante el gobierno cubano para que les devolvieran las armas confiscadas.

Ante la negativa del gobierno cubano de devolver las armas a los expedicionarios intervino el  presidente de Guatemala Juan José Arévalo, quien reclamó la propiedad de las mismas.

Early start. This morning we are exploring Deception Island, an island that rises 1600 feet from the seabed with a submerged diameter of approx. 15 miles. The island forms a caldera in the centre that is about 6 miles in diameter with a depth of 585 feet. Around this caldera volcanic pumice stone slopes rise up with several smaller crates dotted around the islands. It presents a very desolate lunar type picture but is spectacular viewing.
The entrance into Deception Island is through a narrow gap in one of the crater walls. This entrance is approximately 200 feet wide but with a submerged rock about 2 metres below the surface the ship needs to navigate through a very narrow gap to access the caldera where we will do our landings.
For that reason the bridge is closed to access as the crew carry out this delicate navigation. The entry is scheduled for 7am as is a great sight to see as the ship slide through the entrance just several feet from the high wall on the starboard side of the entrance. There is evidence of some volcanic activity also with steam or gases leaking out through cracks into the air.
Once inside the caldera we travel to the northern end to a location called Telefon Bay, named after a whaler ship that was stranded there back in the late 19th century. En-route we pass Whalers Bay where the ruins of an old whaling stations are located. You can make out the old rusting whale oil rendering tanks as well as several of the housing buildings. The shore line is littered with the skeletons of whales that would have been processed here during the height of whale hunting in the late 19th and early 20th century.
To the south of the island there are two research stations built, one belonging to Spain, the other to Argentina.
Our plan is to land at Telefon Bay and hike to the top of one of the slopes to view some of the other craters. We then make our way up to a black glacier so called as a result of a combination of volcanic ash and ice that gives it a black appearance. Looping back we climb to another viewing point and then back down across the volcanic tundra towards the shore to head back to the ship.
As well as getting the opportunity to take in some of this amazing ancient landscape it's a great opportunity for stretching the legs!
Back on board we immediately relocate for the next landing…we are making our way to Pendulum Cove where believe it or not some people are opting to take a dip!
Zodiacs launched people start heading for shore. As we approach it is a hilarious sight with people stripped down out of all the weather proof gear to swim suits. Some people are running full speed into the water amid screams of shock as the cold water hits them, others are being more reserved and doing the little by little approach! "uhh ahh uhh aaaaaaaahhhhh", well you get the picture.
Soon The Shackleton 100 gang are on the beach and before long Jane, Geraldine, Jukka, Vincent, Flora, Donal and Rob (our adopted Aussie Irishman) are all in the freezing waters, tick that off the list! Polar Plunge completed! Well done all…I had to take the photos and video…otherwise I'd love to have been in there…no really!
Back on board and next on the agenda is a visit to Hannah Point and Walker Bay located further north again at Livingston Island. It's named after a sealing vessel Hannah of Liverpool which was wrecked on the site in 1820.
Our landing site is a small, steep faced beach about 50 metres wide which is home to Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins, blue eyed shag, snowy sheathbill, kelp gull, pintado petrel and southern giant petrel.
As we approach shore we notice movement on the beach and realise that there are elephant seals landed. These are juvenile males but still huge beats all lying side by side on the beach. Of all the seal species these elephant seals are known to be the deepest divers, predating squid up to depths of 4 kms! Now that's a breath hold!
starting the mature. In the sky around us kelp gulls and giant petrels effortlessly wheel and glide on the updrafts created by the gentle breeze that sweeps in across the water and up the steep walls.
Back along the beach and further inland there are deposits of fossils left by surveying geologists that are given close examination by most. Some of the passengers are geologists and we get some good insights into what we are looking at!
On the way back to the zodiacs we come across several fur seals too. These would have been hunted to near extinction in the past but now thankfully populations are on the increase.
So it's back to the ship with a gang of happy and hungry adventurers! Another great day in Paradise!

MEDIC MALAWI | Medic Malawi Newsletter November 2018
25 Nov Medic Malawi Newsletter November 2018
Posted at 11:36h in News	by	Stephen Drew 0 Comments
"Our soft spoken Surgeon" : The following recent story about Dr Amos Nyaka is from the Daily Times of Malawi . You may well recognise Amos' name – he is my friend and ex-student, now eye surgeon, who makes regular visits to St Andrew's for our monthly eye surgery programme . This episode did not take place at St Andrew's, but is typical of his character and expertise.
Surgeon uses cell phone light in theatre operation
Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) surgeon Amos Nyaka swiftly turned to 'plan B' when a power outage plunged an eye theatre into darkness in the middle of a delicate operation he was performing on a patient in Lilongwe on Thursday.
The surgeon quickly asked a trainee clinical officer to use his cell phone's in-built flashlight, enabling him and his team to continue with the operation.
Many people were both stunned and impressed
When traced to his KCH Eye Department on Friday, the surgeon said: "The blackout came after we had already started operating on the patient's eye, who had a condition known as glaucoma—an irreversible cause of blindness. The procedure was to minimise the progression of eye damage.
"We had to act fast because, otherwise, the patient could lose his vision."
The soft-spoken surgeon said he should not take any praise alone.
"On a daily basis, many other theatre personnel use creative ways in overcoming technical challenges to save patients, particularly in critical departments like the ICU [intensive care unit], HDU [high dependency unit] and the paediatric sections," he added.
He said the eye department used to have its own generator but it developed faults and has not been in use for a while.
In an interview, Ministry of Health spokesperson Joshua Malango said Nyaka exemplifies the professionalism and passion medical cadres have to save people's lives despite challenges in their work.
The eye department is one of the busiest sections at KCH, with some 200 patients attended to daily. On average, surgeries constitute about 10 percent of the cases
How typical of 'our soft spoken surgeon' not to 'take any praise alone' , and how typical too of the resourcefulness and quick thinking which our Malawian partners show, amid great difficulties.
Teaching others
But this is not the only story of Eye Surgery success recently. We have, with the support of Rotary International, been able to start training and awareness programmes in local areas.
The intention is that nurses and junior clinicians can be trained in identifying eye disease, and begin to have training in dealing with it too. Some may progress to being able to deal with cataracts themselves. The first training was in Ntchisi . At the same time patients were screened for treatment and surgery which was followed by surgery at St Andrew's last week. Next month the training programme is to be in Dowa, and again patients will be identified for surgery treatment, but also helped in many other ways with a variety of eye treatments and assistance.
Training in progress :
The programme involves training in practical work (above),
and also theoretical preparation of groups (below)
"Thank you to all who made my eyes to see again"
But above all, the work is for individuals:
This is from a report by Peter Minjale at St Andrew's
"This is Rose Mpamba , wh is 53 years old from Moto Vilage , Ntchisi district. She had been totally blind from cataract in both eyes for one year. She could not work. She could not look after herself. She felt a burden to her children. Her children looked after her.
She can now see totally .
She was one of 32 operations performed in one day November 15 2018"
Rose Mpamba
Thank you for the power of your giving, which makes all this possible. Thank you also for your messages of goodwill following my email about the structure and leadership of Medic Malawi itself. For the time being we continue as we are. You will receive newsletters from me, and please write to me with any questions or ideas. But the Trustees will continue to think about the future, and how best to organise the charity, with your help, to serve the people of Mtunthama District. Thank you.

The President's Arrival
Convocation Ceremony
Frost Library Groundbreaking
The President and the Poet:
John F. Kennedy at Amherst, October 26, 1963
Few college libraries have as auspicious a beginning as the Robert Frost Library at Amherst College. On October 26, 1963, President John F. Kennedy came to campus to receive an honorary degree and participate in the ground breaking ceremony for the new library building. At an Amherst Capital Program dinner on September 28, 1962, Amherst College President Calvin Plimpton had announced the anonymous donation of 3.5 million dollars to build a new library to be named in honor of Robert Frost. After Robert Frost's death in January 1963, John J. McCloy (AC 1916) invited President Kennedy to Amherst, a fitting tribute to the poet who read at Kennedy's inauguration in 1961.
This web exhibition documents the events of that day, from President Kennedy's arrival, to the Convocation ceremony at which he and poet Archibald MacLeish were awarded Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees, to the Frost Library groundbreaking and beyond. Both Kennedy and MacLeish spoke at the Convocation, and Kennedy also spoke later in the day at the groundbreaking; the texts of their speeches can be found here. On both occasions, the President's remarks were addressed to the significance of Robert Frost and of art and artists generally for the United States and for the world.
The event turned out to be one of President Kennedy's last public appearances before he was assassinated in November 1963. An estimated 10,000 people were on campus that day to witness the events.
See a related article on the Kennedy visit in Amherst magazine online (Fall-Winter 2003-04).

Q: how to run --publish-local-settings when doing a right click deploy? When performing a right click --> deploy on a function app, how do we provide the --publish-local-settings switch?

The documentation states:

By default, these settings are not migrated automatically when the
  project is published to Azure. Use the --publish-local-settings switch
  when you publish to make sure these settings are added to the function
  app in Azure.

A: Short answer?  You can't.  That flag is for the func.exe command line tool, not visual studio right-click publish.
Long answer: From the screenshot, it looks like you are using Visual Studio, yes? By default, Visual Studio doesn't publish your local.settings.json file to Azure.  The expectation there is that your local development settings probably aren't the same settings you want published.  They are nudging you into the pit of success.
To publish settings from inside Visual Studio, follow the documentation here ...

The easiest way to upload the required settings to your function app
in Azure is to select the Manage Azure App Service settings link
that appears after you successfully publish your project.

Selecting this link displays the Application settings dialog for
the function app, where you can add new application settings or modify
existing ones.

If you are truly looking to use the --publish-local-settings flag you are referencing, then that can be achieved using the azure functions core tools command line tool, func.exe
More info here.
Example command: func azure functionapp publish Function_App_Name --publish-local-settings
