End Well, a Symposium on Redesigning the End-of-Life Experience, San Francisco, CA 2019
December 31, 2019 January 5, 2020 bigpondlittlegirl
The movement to bring the subject of mortality into mainstream conversation has been on-going for at least 10 years in the U.S. As a result, the number of gatherings has increased.
The End Well Symposium, now in its third year and soon to be fourth, is a part of this movement.
The 2019 production in early December featured a star-studded kick-off with ABC-TV's The View co-host Meghan McCain sharing candidly and compellingly about the death of her father Senator John McCain. She feels everyone should have a discussion about this subject with loved ones, learn their wishes, and do the best one can to prepare.
Country singer Tim McGraw talked about the experience of attending his dying father. As a result, he joined the Board of Directors of Narus Health, a Nashville-based palliative care provider, "to ensure broad access to high-quality care during times of serious illness and through the end of life."
There were 26 other speakers including author/facilitator/interviewer and social change maker Courtney Martin whose high energy and thoughtful introductions kept the day-long gathering proceed smoothly.
Shoshana Ungerleider, MD and philanthropist, whose family foundation is behind the End Well Project, graciously and discreetly hosted as well. She succeeded with her goal of introducing a cross-disciplinary line-up that shared her philosophy – death and dying is not only a medical issue but most importantly, a human issue.
Each speaker was unique and dynamic in his or her own way, contributing to the dialogue about creating quality of life for patients at any phase of illness in a variety of settings.
Public and private sector speakers were physician authors, technologists, caregivers, patients, one attorney/end-of-life doula/ordained minister Alua Arthur, spiritual leaders, artists, innovators.
Among the younger voices sharing stories this year were palliative care physician, author, USC Medical School professor Sunita Puri who gave a heartfelt talk based on her book That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the 11th Hour mentioning influences of family health, Hindu poetry, and the importance of word choice and words as tools . Yoko Sen spoke lovingly and compassionately about the importance of healing sounds at the end-of-life. Sen was a speaker last year as well. She is a musician, sound alchemist, and TEDMED speaker.
It was moving to watch Harvard-educated August de los Reyes, Chief Design Officer for Varo, roll onto the stage in his wheel chair to talk about his mission to improve the financial health of Americans through better services and mobile-centric design that include the disabled. De los Reyes was formerly at Xbox, Microsoft and Pinterest. His paralysis is a result of a hospital mistake. His positive energy despite his health condition is most inspiring.
Among the older adults were fine and funny writer Sally Tisdale, RN (Advice for Future Corpses and Those Who Love Them plus other noteworthy books and essays) whose talk was educational and supportive – tender care for dementia patients at end-of-life.
Jonathan Bartels, a UVA trauma nurse and palliative care liaison, spoke about how he created The Pause – silence in acute care settings, intensive care units, and emergency rooms to honor any person who has just died. His empathetic vision has been adopted across the globe and is now taught as a part of compassionate care education for healthcare workers. See https://thepause.me/2015/10/01/about-the-medical-pause/
Marvin Mutch, son of a Holocaust survivor and a Baptist minister who spent 41 years in prison, spoke about inter-generational trauma and his work with end-of-life at San Quentin with the Human Prison Project.
Much admired San Francisco palliative care and hospice physician at UCSF, and former Executive Director of Zen Hospice BJ Miller (also with a compelling health history) spoke about his desire for more human-centered care for the ill and the dying. His newly released book, co-written with Shoshana Berger is A Beginner's Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death. See http://www.centerfordyingandliving.org for his mission statement.
Frank Ostaseski, author and revered Buddhist hospice teacher at End Well Symposium 2019
The piece de la resistance was the last part of the program, an interview with revered Buddhist teacher and hospice worker Frank Ostaseski, author of the popular book The Five Invitations: What Death Can Teach Us about Living. After a life-time at the bedside of others, he spoke soulfully about the paradox of vulnerability – how he was being cared for following a stroke a few months ago.
For two years, the End Well Conference in San Francisco, CA required a $600 entrance fee for the day. This year founder Ungerleider and her board kindly expanded the conference to a live on-line all-day event for $25. This was a gift for those who could not attend because of commitments they have, or because leaving one's city or country to attend requires extra resources and time.
See this link for bios to the presenters:

See this link for videos of some of the TED-style talks:
https://www.endwellproject.org/watch/2019-symposium-videos/
Note: The Ungerleider Foundation financed the production of two fine documentaries about the end-of-life experience, End Game and Extremis, both available on Netflix.
Note no. 2:
There are many other such conferences and symposiums throughout the world, primarily in Australia and the UK, and others as far flung as India and Singapore. I intend to list some of the 2020 gatherings in another blog for those who are interested.
Also notable are small volunteer-driven gatherings of Death Cafes (55 countries), Death over Dinners, Conversation Project get-togethers, faith-based meetings, senior center events, and more on a continuing basis, usually monthly.
Wellness Shepherd blog author Wendy Jane Carrel, with 20 years + of hands-on senior care and palliative care experience, is currently involved with a humanitarian mission in Guadalajara, Mexico, www.JuntosContraelDolor.com, the only 24/4 palliative care hospital with outreach to 100 families at home. She is also collaborating with www.HolaHospice.org , currently creating a senior home and hospice in the state of Michoacan, Mexico.

Direct-Acting Oral Antiviral Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C Is Associated with an Interim Increase in Serum Creatinine Levels
Adiga, Avinash Govinda, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, LUBBOCK, Texas, United States
Avinash Govinda Adiga,
Ratanasrimetha, Praveen, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, United States
Praveen Ratanasrimetha,
The introduction of newer all-oral, direct-acting antiviral therapy in place of traditional interferon-based therapy has revolutionized the management of CHC infection. The aims of our study are to evaluate i) Renal adverse effects related to all oral direct- acting, antiviral therapy for hepatitis C ii) relationship between changes in viral load and renal function tests in chronic hepatitis C patients.
A retrospective study involving 164 patients with chronic hepatitis C infection followed up in outpatient clinics between October 1, 2014, and September 30, 2015. Ninety- five patients who received antiviral therapy were included as cases and sixty-nine patients who did not receive treatment were included as controls. Creatinine levels of cases were noted at four- time points: pre-treatment, at four weeks, at the end of treatment (3 months), and at 12-week post-treatment (6 months) and at the similar time frame for controls. Patients with CKD stage 3 or more and patients with missing values were excluded.
The rate of kidney disease in our study population is 8.7%. Baseline creatinine in the studied population was 0.92mg/dl. Viral clearance was seen in 98.9% of patients, who received the treatment. At the end of treatment, higher creatinine levels were seen in the treatment group than the control group. However, no significant differences in creatinine levels were seen at 6 months. When compared to baseline statistically significant increase in creatinine levels were seen at 3 months and 6 months were seen in both groups.
Serum creatinine levels are higher at the end of treatment in patients receiving anti-viral therapy when compared to controls. This difference tends to cease with further time duration. A decrease in the hepatitis C viral load is not associated with a concurrent decrease in creatinine levels.

Martin O'Neill rules out Leicester return
by david_smith 26th February 2017, 3:30 pm 161 Views
Martin O'Neill has ruled out a return to Leicester to replace Claudio Ranieri.
The Republic of Ireland manager won two league cups, as well as promotion to the Premier League during his successful reign as Leicester boss from 1995-2000.
The Foxes controversially sacked Ranieri on Tuesday after their 2-1 Champions League defeat at Sevilla, despite the Italian manager miraculously leading Leicester to the Premier League title last season.
Leicester are now on the lookout for Ranieri's replacement, but O'Neill ruled himself out of the race during an appearance on BBC Five Live this morning.
"I am really enjoying being an international manager and we have a job to do," he said.
"We have got a big World Cup qualifying game coming up in a couple of weeks' time against Wales and I couldn't be distracted.
"I want to see if we can try and get through, whether we don't, whether we fall flat on our faces, I don't know but the Euros last year were great and I am getting so much enjoyment out of this.
"I wouldn't be going [to Leicester]. I am enjoying this at the moment."
O'Neill also had his say on Ranieri's shock dismissal, and criticized the Leicester players' decision to speak to the owner about their unhappiness.
"The owners have the ultimate say but I think this was combination of things," he added.
"Some players went to the owner to talk about whatever they were talking about. Why should players go to owner, even in this day and age? If things are not going well, you sort it out in the dressing room.
"The players took an awful lot of credit last year, rightly so, they did the playing and this game's still about players.
"Somewhere along the way if you have to take criticism, you have to look inwards as a player."

The Ocean House
Watch Hill, Rhode Island, United States
See All Watch Hill Hotels
Beautiful waterfront location with private white-sand beach
Spacious rooms (some with terraces and ocean views)
Full-service OH! Spa
Plenty of dining options on property
Tournament-level croquet lawn
Indoor lap pool that opens to the outdoors
No gratuities -- tips are included
Resort fee
Rates can be extremely expensive
Can be very busy during the high season (which can affect service)
The Ocean House is a luxury resort, with the rates to match, located on a private white-sand beach in the sleepy coastal town of Watch Hill. The hotel offers a slew of amenities, including a full-service spa, large fitness center, indoor pool (that opens to the outdoors), and plenty of dining options, so there's really no reason for guests to leave the hotel grounds -- which is good, because there's not a lot in Watch Hill, aside from the cute little boutiques and shops on the main street.
Tower Suite
Great Historic Hotels in New England
Grand, Victorian-era building, manicured grounds, and sweeping views
The Ocean House, which opened in 1868, is impressive, with its massive grounds overlooking the ocean and quintessential Victorian-style architecture. It hasn't always remained so impressive, though: Over the years, time took its toll and the Ocean House fell into disrepair. In 2003, it was closed and the hotel was completely rebuilt to restore it to its original grandeur, retaining original pieces inside and outside.
The property is beautiful, elegant, and not stuffy in the least. The atmosphere is one of laid-back luxury, and most guests entertain themselves with simple pleasures such as having a drink on The Verandah or watching the sun set on the hotel's private beach.
In the sleepy coastal village of Watch Hill, an hour-drive from Newport
Ocean House, with its restored Victorian-style architecture, fits in quite nicely in the seaside village of Watch Hill, which is home to high-priced mansions overlooking the ocean. Cute little boutiques, ice cream shops, and gorgeous water views can all be found on the town's main street, just a quick walk from the hotel.
There isn't much going on in this sleepy town, but that's part of the draw for guests at the Ocean House. Nearby Newport and Providence offer a bit more excitement for those who want more than relaxation from their vacation.
Providence, a 45-minute drive away, is Rhode Island's capital city, and offers plenty of shopping, restaurants, clubs, and bars downtown. The Civic Center, the Providence Performing Arts Center, and the State House are just a few popular attractions.
Newport is also a great place to spend the day. Known best for its massive historic mansions and architecture, history buffs will find plenty to occupy their time. And for those looking to do a little retail therapy, downtown is chock full of shopping. Newport's restaurant scene is also quite well known and shouldn't be missed.
45-minute drive to Providence airport
2-hour drive to Boston Logan Airport
5-minute walk to "downtown" Watch Hill
1-hour drive to Newport
3-hour drive to Manhattan
Homey rooms with elements of Victorian, contemporary, and ocean-inspired decor
The homey rooms are modern and luxurious, with design elements inspired by the Victorian history and beach location. Think: chairs and curtains with floral patterns; crown moldings; and plush white bedding. Color schemes and styles vary a bit by room, but many rooms are decorated in shades of white, blue, and brown. They feel ritzy, without being stuffy, much like the wealthy seaside town around them. Highlights include comfortable beds, marble bathrooms with Molton Brown bath products, and in some, spectacular views of the water. As you go up in price, the square footage increases exponentially and the features get more grand; more expensive rooms may include private terraces, full kitchens, and fireplaces.
Marble bathrooms with separate showers and soaking tubs, as well as Molton Brown bath products
Luxurious beds and linens
Flat-screen TVs
Wi-Fi (included in resort fee)
Free welcome amenities (non-alcoholic drinks, fruits, and treats)
Some rooms have ocean views, some bay views, others property views. Only a handful of rooms have direct ocean views.
Some rooms have private terraces.
Deluxe Studios, Grand Deluxe Rooms, Standard Suites, and Ocean View Suites have private sitting areas with fireplaces.
Special luxury suites have up to 4,100 square feet in space, with huge private terraces also available.
Croquet, a modern fitness center, and a top-notch spa
Full-service OH! Spa with its own gift shop and full-service hair salon
Tournament-level croquet lawn, with an in-house croquet pro instructor
State-of-the art fitness center facing the ocean, with separate exercise room "personal training" videos on large drop-down screen
Afternoon tea with lemonade, hot cider, and cookies offered in The Living Room

All-Inclusive / Food
Many options, ranging from beachside cocktails to fine dining
Seasons is fine dining (there's a dress code), with an Atlantic Northeast menu that changes daily. Live entertainment is offered on weekends.
The Club Room is a private member dining room with a bistro menu.
The Living Room serves hot chocolate, lemonade, scones, and cocktails, and has live entertainment on weekends.
Daily traditional New England raw bar on The Verandah.

Gruppe II


With Valentine's Day two weeks away, one sure-fire way to show you care is to book a holiday break for two. And since the day itself falls on a Sunday, that is plenty of opportunity to take a long weekend off.
We pick five top hotel deals to cater to all the sentimental fools out there.
Indulge in a little old-fashioned courting over Valentine's weekend by spoiling your sweetheart with an evening of love and luxury at the Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton, which is set in the vibrant heart of London's shopping and entertainment district, directly adjacent to Carnaby Street and a hop from Regent Street.
Its Come-a-Courting overnight package is available from £399 (Dh2,343) per couple including breakfast, accommodation in a queen-sized room strewn with rose petals, a bottle of bubbly, strawberries and petit fours, a themed three-course dinner by candlelight and half an hour's relaxation in the tranquil Sanook spa. The package is available from February 12 to 14.
And for that little bit extra, the hotel, a former magistrate's court reinvented as a luxurious five-star hotel, is laying on a private dinner in one of three former jail cells on its premises at £300 per couple.
Call +44 207 297 5555 or e-mail go to www.courthouse-hotel.com.
Sir Rocco Forte took his impeccable service levels to romance-heavy Prague last year with the opening of The Augustine, created from a set of seven historic buildings, including a 13th-century monastery.
A fairytale setting with striking views of both the city of Zurich and the Alps makes the Dolder Grand the ideal luxury retreat.
And for the hopeless romantics wishing to whisk their love away in celebration of Valentine's Day, the hotel offers guests two dreamy getaway packages. The Be My Grand Valentine deal packages together one night in a superior double room, a welcome in-room amenity, breakfast and a four-course meal with a glass of bubbly in the Garden restaurant for two plus a 60-minute massage or facial at CHF1,360 (Dh4,709). The hotel also offers a deluxe package with a seven-course meal for CHF1,540. The deals are only valid on February 13 and 14 with complimentary late check out at 4pm.
For those planning something closer home, the newly opened Le Gray hotel beckons visitors to the Paris of the Middle East for a taste of sea, snow, shopping and spa.
You can take a trip to the mountains of Faraya or The Cedars to enjoy the snow or shop till you drop in the nearby shopping district, then unwind at the Pure Gray spa with a complete treatment room dedicated to couples; special offers are available all through February. Finally enjoy a relaxed dinner at Indigo, the glamorous rooftop restaurant with wrap-around views. The Mediterranean never looked so romantic!
Room rates begin at $440 (Dh1,616) excluding 10 per cent VAT, while full-body massage treatments begin at $145 for two, discounted from $180. Call +961 196 2828 or e-mail reservations@legray.com.
For something a little further away – and perhaps a mini celebration while on vacation in Australia – Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa has rolled out a three-night package, Indulge Your Senses. Available for a three-month period at the hotel, which is three hours' drive from Sydney, the package offers special rates until the end of March.
From A$2,345 (Dh7,615) per head, you get three nights at the hotel, three meals a day, a select range of beverages, two complimentary on-site nature-based activities per day, a nine-course degustation dinner on one night of stay and a one-hour Signature Mountain Aroma massage. Call +61 2 6350 1800 or log on to www.emirateshotelsresorts.com.

Evacuation Guidelines
Contraflow
The overall strategy of all Southeast Louisiana Parishes for dealing with a potential catastrophic hurricane or other major emergency, is to evacuate as much of the at-risk population as possible.
Years ago, the State of Louisiana designed what is known as the contraflow plan, a system where major interstates in the State will have lane reversals so all traffic is flowing out of heavily populated areas creating more traffic lanes for evacuations.
You need to familiarize yourself with contraflow prior to an evacuation. Complete contraflow instructions can be found online.
Three-Phased System
For those residents in Plaquemines Parish, note that the State has established a three-phased system for contraflow.
This phase will concentrate on people who are most vulnerable to the effects of hurricane winds and water. It is directed at offshore workers, persons on coastal islands, persons living in low lying areas, the special medical needs population, and persons aboard boats.
Begins 50 hours before tropical storm winds are anticipated to strike the Louisiana coast
Evacuation operations in areas south of the Intracoastal Waterway and those areas outside levee protection that are vulnerable to flooding will be undertaken
This phase will concentrate on all people who are at risk, such as those living outside of levee protection, inside of levee protection when an exceptionally strong storm threatens, in a manufactured home (mobile home, RV, etc.) and those in a low lying or flood prone areas.
Evacuation begins in those areas south of the Mississippi River (Westbank), which are protected by levees but still vulnerable to flooding
This is the final and most serious phase of evacuation where authorities put maximum emphasis on encouraging evacuation and limiting entry into the risk area. Designated State Evacuation Routes will be enhanced by turning two outbound lanes into three wherever possible (i.e, Contraflow). When the storm gets close to the risk area, evacuation routes will be closed, and any persons remaining in the area, will be directed to a "Last Resort Refuge."
Evacuation begins in areas of the Eastbank of the Mississippi River in the New Orleans metro area that are within the levee protection boundaries but vulnerable to flooding by a slow moving storm
For those in Plaquemines Parish, the contraflow lanes out of New Orleans are as follows:
Contraflow Instructions for I-10 West to Baton Rouge
All I-10 West entrances through New Orleans, Metairie and Kenner will be used in their normal manner to gain access to I-10 West
The eastbound and westbound lanes of I-10 from Clearview Parkway in Metairie to I-55 North in LaPlace will be used as westbound lanes
Motorist do have the option of leaving I-10 and going on I-55 North toward Jackson, MS where contraflow lanes are in place to a point just south of Jackson.
If you choose to take I-12 heading to Baton Rouge through Hammond, the interstate will also have contraflow lanes.
Contraflow Instructions for I-10 East to I-59, North to Slidell, Mississippi
I-10 East traffic from New Orleans will cross the I-10 Twin Spans using the three eastbound lanes
Contraflow of I-59 will begin at the I-10/I-12/I-59 interchange
At the I-10/I-12/I-59 interchange, the left and center lanes of eastbound I-10 will be diverted onto southbound I-59. Only the right lane will continue on I-59 North
The I-10 East traffic will not be allowed to continue on I-10 East or enter I-12 West

Mandatory Evacuation

2018 Wyndham Championship Primer
Carey Hoffman

This week's Wyndham Championship on the PGA Tour is a tale of two contests — there's the race to capture the Sam Snead Cup, awarded to the winner of the tournament, and then there's what is usually a mad scramble deeper in the field amid constantly changing calculations for those anxiously trying to crack the top-125 mark in the season-long FedEx Cup standings.
The last regular-season event of the 2017-18 PGA Tour season annually sends players to wildly differing fates. Those who finish inside the top 125 advance to the playoffs: three events with a gradual cutdown each week before the season culminates with the top 30 players in the standings playing for next month's Tour Championship. All of the top 125 are also guaranteed to retain their tour cards for the 2018-19 season.
But those who finish from 126-200, unless exempt by another criteria, are relegated to the purgatory option of competing in the Web.com Tour Finals to try and keep their tour cards.
So, that said, what stories are likely to emerge as the weekend progresses? As you would expect after back-to-back weeks where events featured all 50 of the top players in the world, the depth of talent will drop substantially.
Only three of the current top 20 players in the Official World Golf Rankings are playing in Greensboro — No. 16 Hideki Matsuyama, No. 19 Henrik Stenson and No. 20 Webb Simpson.
Stenson is the defending champ, but he's been battling a left elbow issue of late and missed the cut at last week's PGA Championship. Out of the current top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings, just two of the top 30 players are playing this week, Simpson at No. 12 and Chesson Hadley, currently at No. 26.

Sitting right on the proverbial hot seat at position No. 125 in the FedEx Cup standings is Tyrone Van Aswegen, with Martin Piller seven points ahead of him at No. 124 and Chad Campbell just three points behind at No. 126. Taking a wider view, 13 players are outside the top 125 right now who have qualified for all 11 previous FedEx Cup playoffs, and there surely will be a lot of talk about two of them — Sergio Garcia, who won this event in 2012 but is currently No. 131 in the FedEx Cup standings, and Bill Haas, the 2011 Tour Championship winner, currently at No. 150.
On three occasions, as many as five players have done enough at the Wyndham to move back inside the top 125 and bump out another player. With a spread of just 37 FedEx Cup points separating the seven players at No. 123 to No. 129, this could be another of those years.
The 2018 Wyndham Championship will also be honoring the memory of PGA Tour member Jarrod Lyle, who passed away on Aug. 8 in his native Australia. A display will be included on the first tee which will feature replicas of Lyle's golf bag and clubs. Lyle's final start on the PGA Tour was the 2016 Wyndham Championship, before he was diagnosed with his third bout with leukemia.

For a second consecutive non-major, the PGA Tour is playing an event where the all-time victory holder has the record in a runaway. It was Tiger Woods at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational two weeks ago, an event he has won eight times. At the Wyndham Championship, that man is also the man with the most victories in PGA Tour history, Sam Snead.

Snead first won the tournament in 1938, which was the inaugural event, and went on to win eight times total, five more victories than second-place Davis Love III. Snead's last Wyndham triumph, in 1965, was notable as the then 52-year-old became the oldest player to win a PGA event, a record that still stands today.
The trophy was eventuiallIn his later years, Snead took on the role of hosting the tournament. The winner's trophy is called the Sam Snead Cup.
The beginnings of the Wyndham Championship can be traced all the way back to 1938, when it was known as the Greater Greensboro Open. The tournament has been played at three different courses, all in the Greensboro, N.C. area.
The current host venue, Sedfield Country Club, was the home course off and on in the early years before moving there permanently from 1961-1976 and then again from 2008-present.
In addition to Snead, notable winners include Ralph Guldahl, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Lloyd Mangrum, Billy Casper, Julius Boros, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros, Raymond Floyd, and Sandy Lyle.

Henrik Stenson set the tournament aggregate scoring record in winning the 2017 Wyndham Championship, posting a 22-under par total of 254 to edge Ollie Schneiderjans by a single stroke.

Stenson, playing in his first Wyndham since withdrawing from the first round in 2012, held a one-stroke lead after three rounds, and faced fierce competition early on Sunday.
His first seven holes included four birdies and two bogeys, keeping him out front, but in a sizeable crowd. At different points on the back nine, he briefly lost his lead to Kevin Na and Ryan Armour, but in both cases, he came back quickly to tie it up.
Stenson was just 2-under on the day after 12 holes, but then exploded down the stretch, birdieing four of his next five holes, highlighted by a 27-foot putt for birdie on 17.
That final birdie putt ended up being surprisingly important, as Schneiderjans had turned on the jets a group ahead of him, and came within inches of a final-hole eagle, which would have tied the lead.
Stenson needed just a par on 18 to win, and was able to get up-and-down from just off the green to secure the victory. Stenson said after the round that he thought he had a two-stroke cushion playing the final hole.

Normally, you would probably anoint defending champion Henrik Stenson as the favorite, especially after posting a tournament-record scoring performance last year. But tenderness in an elbow that apparently contributed to his missing the cut at the PGA Championship makes his chances somewhat iffy.

Momentum, along with some home cooking, would seem to be on the side of Webb Simpson. He's coming in off a top 20 showing at the PGA, and earlier this year won THE PLAYERS Championship, his first Tour win in five years. The North Carolina has been a solid bet at past Wyndhams, with five top 10 finishes in nine starts, including winning the title in 2011.
Hideki Matsuyama has struggled most of the year, with only two top 10 finishes all season. The best positives you could cite for his chances are that he finished tied for third in 2016, the last time he played the Wyndham event, and he is coming in off a final round 66 at the PGA, his lowest round in almost two months and one which helped boost him to an overall tie for 35th.
Two other international players who were in the mix at the PGA would seem to be solid options for this week. Spain's Rafa Cabrera Bello is the highest-ranked player in the Official World Golf Rankings (currently No. 30) without a PGA Tour victory. But he's coming in off a tie for 17th showing at the WGC-Bridgestone and then a tie for 10th at the PGA last week. He last played the Wyndham in 2016, posting a tie for fifth that week.

Ireland's Shane Lowry rode a second-round 64 to a tie for 12th overall at the PGA Championship, making three straight weeks he's been in the top 15. He tied for 15th in the alternate event Barracuda Championship two weeks ago, and posted a tie for 12th the week prior to that at the RBC Canadian Open. Last year, he finished in a tie for 7th at the Wyndham.
One youngster to keep an eye on would be 19-year-old Joaquin Niemann from Chile. He was the world's No. 1-ranked amateur until turning pro earlier this year, and has responded with four top 10 finishes in 11 starts while playing under Special Temporary Member status on the PGA Tour. His best showing was a tie for fifth at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier.

Nashville police investigate fatal shooting near Sylvan Park
Natalie Neysa Alund
Metro police have identified a man killed in a fatal shooting just north of Sylvan Park overnight as 35-year-old Nashville resident Timothy Orlando White.
According to police spokeswoman Kris Mumford, the shooting took place in an alleyway between apartment buildings in the 600 block of 41st Avenue North.
West Precinct officers responded to the area just after midnight for a shots fired call in the area but did not locate White. Shortly before that, Mumford said, White was transported to Nashville General Hospital by another person.
He was later transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
White lived on Weakly Avenue in a neighborhood about seven miles northeast of where the shooting took place but police say he was known to socialize in the area where he was fatally shot.
A motive in the shooting remains under investigation and, as of late Thursday morning, the shooter remained at large, police said.
Anyone with information about White's slaying is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward. People can also send an electronic tip by texting the word "CASH" along with the message to 274637 (CRIMES), or online at www.nashvillecrimestoppers.com.

When a person goes missing, it is horrible. When they go missing in a place where life is almost inhospitable, all hope vanishes into a feeling of dread and denial. But when the person is found and has not only died but been murdered… Well, that's monstrous.
The murderer is amongst them and each person is as likely the culprit as the others… Who of these seemingly innocent guests would kill someone? Why would they do such a barbaric thing? Will they strike again while everyone is trapped by the snow?
TEEN OVERVIEW: The Hunting Party is a wonderfully constructed murder mystery novel. It feels like an Agatha Christie novel blended into the backdrop of the modern world. Just like all good murder mysteries, anybody could be the culprit.

Find Your Place, Find Your Group
"I never felt like there was a group for me," Monica admits as she reflects about her motivation to start a Life Group. A seed was planted about five years ago, when a pastor challenged the congregation to consider leading a small group. She tried to imagine what a Life Group would look like, where she felt she fit in, but there wasn't one that existed. She had a 'hunch' there were other women experiencing the same thing. She excitedly researched ideas about starting a Life Group made up of professional Christian women, but at the time, work and life got in the way. Although the timing wasn't right and Monica's hope to form a group faded, God's timing is perfect and Monica's Life Group vision was not forgotten!
Monica left her previous job earlier this year and joined a new company... then COVID happened. Forced to work at home, she experienced work/life balance. "For the first time in my life, I had space to think." While Monica admits to not engaging in church service often, on one occasion she did. During that particular service, an invitation was made encouraging people to join or start a Life Group at church. "Maybe this time," thought Monica. She reached out and took a risk, trying not to get her hopes up too high. Much to Monica's delight, Adult Ministries provided guidance and helped her connect with other women who happened to be searching for the same thing! "I met with a lady who said she was trying to find a group of working, professional women that she could connect with."
Being from different areas and leading busy lives, they decided to meet online. "Our Life Group doesn't even have to be local—God doesn't recognize borders!" The group now has six members, and counting. "We are still in the exploratory stage and we are talking about our objectives… God is a part of this, and He is leading us."
Monica hopes that eventually several groups across Canada will exist where professional Christian women can share resources, work together, mentor young professional women all in the name of Jesus.

Connections between people, or real community, is an issue in ministry in general. I think that one of the struggles in youth ministry is to be more people based than program based. We have become a church of programs that we say have a purpose, but really we don't even know the people who attend those programs.
An outcome of the first problem is the fact that students' faith isn't becoming their own faith. We must work on allowing them to investigate their faith in a safe environment if we are to ever allow it to be their own faith. Many are just following the faith of their friends or parents.
Another issue that we should be focusing more on is inner-city and "fringe" type of neighborhoods and young people.
Another issue is that of personal holiness, from youth ministers to parents to students. I would include myself in that, too. We should all take a long hard look at our personal walk with God.
Youth Ministry is responding effectively to many things. One of the things I believe we are doing correctly is the entry-level things that give students a glimpse into what we are about. Unfortunately, as I stated earlier, we don't go very far beyond that.
Service. Many youth ministries are active in their communities and are reaching out to help underprivileged people in their neighborhoods.
Focus more on people than programs.
Focus on being relevant without being relative.
Focus on integrating the young people into the life of the church.
Focus on global youth ministry for more than 2 weeks during the summer.

Isla Ángel de la Guarda, (Guardian Angel Island) also called Archangel Island, is a large island in the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) east of Bahía de los Ángeles in northwestern Mexico, separated from the Baja California Peninsula by the Canal de Ballenas (Whales Channel). It is the second largest of the eleven
Midriff Islands or Islas Grandes.  It is part of the state of Baja California, located northwest of Tiburón Island. It is a biological reserve called Isla Angel de la Guarda National Park. The island is part of the Mexicali municipality.

The geologically active Ballenas Fault runs along the seabed of the linear Canal de Ballenas. A 6.9 magnitude earthquake occurred on this fault in 2009.

Geography
The island is extremely dry, with no sources of freshwater other than washes following rainfall. It has an area of  and a chain of mountains runs along its 69 km length, reaching a maximum of  above sea level. It runs northwest to southeast. The west coast is roughly straight in that direction, but the east coast runs inward near the middle before heading outward until it reaches the island's widest point. The coast then runs south for a while before finally returning to its southeasterly direction.

Much of the island is inaccessible due to mountains at or near the shore, especially on the west coast. There are a few flat areas on the coast at the outlets of washes that were created by sediment. These alluvial fans are mostly on the east coast, but a large one is found on the west coast where the island narrows in the middle. Much of the island's geology is made up of volcanic and alluvial sand deposits.

Biology
Despite its extreme dryness, the island is relatively diverse in plant and animal life. There are many types of birds and reptiles, especially lizards. The Angel Island chuckwalla, Angel Island speckled rattlesnake (Crotalus angelensis), Angel Island mouse (Peromyscus guardia) and Angel de la Guarda woodrat (Neotoma insularis) occur only on the island. The only mammals are bats, rodents, and introduced feral cats. Plants include elephant trees, cacti, grasses, shrubs, succulents, and boojum trees.

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1980s → 1987 → March 1987 → 17 March 1987 → Lords Sitting
J. E. Hanger & Co: Ltd. Industrial Dispute
HL Deb 17 March 1987 vol 485 cc1312-4 1312
§ 2.47 p.m.
§ Lord Jenkins of Putney
My Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper.
The Question was as follows:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will intervene in the dispute at Hangers artificial limb factory in Roehampton.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health and Social Security (Baroness Trumpington)
My Lords, the Government are not a party to this dispute, which is between the management of the company and a part of its workforce, and it is vitally important that the Government do not take sides. The dispute is a matter for negotiation between the parties involved and we have repeatedly urged that a settlement should be reached. Both sides have held talks with ACAS, which remains available to help and arrange a settlement to this dispute.
Our first concern is the interests of patients and we are taking action where necessary to alleviate disruption to the limb-fitting service.
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Baroness for the attention she has given to her Answer, but is she aware that this stoppage is totally unnecessary? Is she aware that it is a classic example of the disasters which can follow from the taking over of an important small firm by a large and ruthless conglomerate? Is she aware that the multiple which has taken over Hangers has no knowledge of the business and of the impact upon the limbless of a dispute which it generated among the workforce? Is she aware that the men are not on strike, for 300 of them have been dismissed out of hand as a result of their walking out in protest at the introduction of methods which they believed were harmful to the limbless as well as to themselves? In these circumstances—
Noble Lords
Finally, my Lords—
If your Lordships will permit me: finally, are the Government aware that Hangers is the chief, indeed the only, contractor in this field, and that the Government are responsible for the very existence of the firm and have a special duty to intervene?
§ Baroness Trumpington
My Lords, as a result of the McColl report, new contracting arrangements for the supply of lower limbs on the lines recommended by McColl were put to the industry in April last year. The main objectives in seeking to introduce the new arrangements are to improve standards of service to patients and to put the contracting arrangements on a more commercial and competitive footing.
Lord Campbell of Croy
My Lords, I agree with the view my noble friend has put in her reply, but do the Government consider that there has yet been any serious delay with the fitting and servicing of limbs and appliances?
My Lords, on the effect of service to the patients, this dispute is limited to the part of the workforce at Hanger's Roehampton factory. Its main effect has been felt by patients at the Roehampton centre. Patients from other centres have been generally unaffected. I am very pleased to report that the joint DHSS-Hanger working party established to clear the backlog of work has reduced the number of overdue cases at Roehampton from 420 to 209.
§ Lord Ennals
My Lords, regardless of the merits of the case and the concern that the noble Baroness clearly has about the fact that there are 5,000 patients who are affected at Roehampton alone, how can she put forward the argument that the Government have no responsibility? Do not the Government have responsibility on behalf of the public and of the patients for a service which is still actually a direct responsibility of the Department of Health and Social Security?
My Lords, I would remind your Lordships that most people who have artificial limbs are supplied with two sets of limbs and therefore if one lot needs repair they should not be put to any inconvenience while the repair is being done. As I have said repeatedly, we will not intervene in this dispute, which is a matter for negotiation between the company and the dismissed workforce. However, we have intervened to protect patient care, and assurances have been obtained from the managing director of the company that every action is being taken to protect patient services. We continue to monitor that situation on a daily basis.
My Lords, will the noble Baroness have a word with her right honourable friend about not merely monitoring but actually intervening in this matter? Is it not the case that the men are eager 1314 to conclude the dispute on terms that are practically acceptable to the management and it is merely a question of somebody bringing them together? Is the noble Baroness aware that the management have refused intervention by ACAS altogether and that their style has changed from understanding to brutality? Is it not time that the Government intervened?
My Lords, I have already explained why the Government do not wish to intervene. It is a matter for ACAS.

. 6 Are you still in contact with one of these guys?
Yes, I speak with Lee Evans from time to time. [I also talk to] Stevie Johnson, Drayton Florence and a few boys. 19459009 Also Reggie Corner.
. 7 If you could choose someone to play here, who was your funniest teammate?
1; we called him "D Flo".
. 8 Do you have any favorite games for personal games?
Yes, I have a few. My favorite game in my opinion is the return of the Seattle Seahawks, which was the first game of the season [for 63 yards]. I forgot in which year that was. Then you have the Denver Broncos, which was also a punt tournament at the beginning of the season [for 74 yards]. [I also liked the] Jacksonville Jaguars [punt return] this was my first career career [it was for 82 yards]. Everyone was in Orchard Park … My biggest games were at Orchard Park, which I can remember.
. 9 How was it for you in your rookie year with the Bills? Do you have any advice for guys coming to the league?
In my rookie year, I had to learn how to train because I hurt my rookie year at the training camp. So I had to learn to be professional and just to practice and not just walk out like a chicken with my head cut off. You have to survive and survive the whole season, because it's a long season, and you need to maintain your diet, train your good training, and be a professional.
10th Where was your favorite place on the street?

Heat Vision Box Office Reviews Roundtables
Jason Cloth on Taking Risks, Securing the 'Joker' With Warner Bros.
9:20 PM PDT 5/13/2019 by Scott Roxborough
Photographed by May Truong
"Unfortunately, our investors are only concerned with the bottom line," says Cloth, who was photographed in his Toronto office April 29.
The Creative Wealth Media Founder also discusses why it's a "perilous" time for the indie film business and how The Weeknd helped him become part of the entertainment business.
Jason Cloth has quietly become one of the biggest players in independent film. His partnership with Aaron L. and Brenda Gilbert of Bron Studios has delivered more than 70 features over the last five years, including Oscar winner Fences and Clint Eastwood's The Mule — which has grossed more than $175 million worldwide.
Cloth, 52, is the moneyman, sourcing capital from Canadian pension plans, mutual funds and private investment groups to provide debt financing for Bron produced films. Via the newly launched Bron Ventures, the group has also put seed money into indie film groups Animal Kingdom — whose Jim Jarmusch film The Dead Don't Die opens the 2019 Cannes Film Festival — and Picturestart, a new production venture launched by ex-Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erik Feig. Last year, Creative Wealth and Bron took a step up, inking a $100 million co-financing deal with Warner Bros. for a slate of movies, including the Rebel Wilson rom-com Isn't It Romantic? and the upcoming DC spinoff Joker.
Speaking to THR from his office in Toronto — "far outside of the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles" — Cloth talked about the challenges of indie film distribution, how rapper The Weeknd got him started in the entertainment business and why it's important to spend "an inordinant amount of time" thinking about risk.
You're a banker by trade. How did you get into the entertainment business?
You know The Weeknd, the singer? Well, he's from Toronto, my hometown. When he was just starting out, his management team — Wassim "Sal" Slaiby, singer Belly and Manny Dion — they came to me to borrow money to launch this new artist that they swore was going to be the hottest artist in the world. I'll be honest: I almost laughed him out of my office. But they had a zest to them and a business and work ethic like I hadn't seen before. So we lent them a little bit of money. And lo and behold, it was The Weeknd. I only did that one deal in music — which is a little sketchy in terms of financial planning and management — but the lawyer who helped broker the deal put me into a film deal, which is how I met Aaron Gilbert at Bron Studios. And we went on a tear.
What's the main source of risk now in the indie film business?
It's the underlying business risk: Will that project be embraced by the viewing public? Aaron and I and the management team discuss this all the time, because although we love doing that very high-quality auteur type of project, we have to mix it with stuff that the viewing public wants.
Why do you think the independent distribution model is so difficult right now?
If you look at the distribution and theatrical landscape, there are roughly 50,000 films made each year. Of those, 800 to 900 see theatrical distribution. Of those, probably 300 will make money, maybe less. On the independent side, if you're not creating something that looks, feels and smells like a studio film, you'll get your film made. But the guys putting up the money, the chances of them seeing their money are, at best, 50-50. It's a highly perilous model.
How did your recent deal with Warner Bros. come about?
Our agents at WME came to us and said, "Hey, would you like to get involved with the new Joker movie?" And we're like, "Seriously? A DC property? There's no way they could need our money." Of course, agents being agents, they sort of left out the key component to this, which was: Everybody wants the Joker. What do you have to offer? When this opportunity came up, Aaron and I were able to say to Warner Bros.: We've got this Taylor Sheridan-Angelina Jolie film [Those Who Wish Me Dead]. That's the quality that a studio is looking for. That's what they wanted. When we had stuff like that to trade alongside money, that got us in the door with the Joker. And then we had to put up real money, which for them was nine figures.
What piece of advice would you give someone who is looking to get into film financing?
Spend an inordinate amount of time figuring out what your risks are. Don't pay too much attention to people telling you that your film is going to make $100 million at the box office. Spend time trying to figure out how everyone's going to try and screw you and how to protect yourself.

Die Welt (Germany): we need to learn to understand how the death
May 10, 2020 IMMSocial
One woman earlier this week told on the phone, her father died. He was elderly, suffered from dementia lived in a nursing home, became notorious in the whole of Germany, when there entered a coronavirus and killed many local residents.
According to the woman, her father after the infection was taken to hospital but was soon discharged and sent back to the nursing home. The Director of the clinic with a heavy heart, told them brothers that their father was very ill and weak, and in any case would have lost the fight against coronavirus — even though in the hospital being well looked after and connected it to a ventilator. But, according to the doctor, it only prolonged his suffering. And the family has agreed with these arguments.
They are brothers, according to the woman, ill-thought not knowing that their father's gone, but something else: they are not allowed on the territory of the nursing home. Throughout Germany to visit these places are strictly prohibited.
So they had to be content with a brief news of the health of the father every day by phone about how he was in quarantine ward, slowly fading away, and almost did not eat nor drink, and his breathing was becoming weaker. But after 14 days they reported that he fell asleep forever.
The children could not get their own representation about the health of his father. They could not hold his hand, support him, tell him something in the end. According to the woman, she took away a very important part of the life of the father — his departure. And she doesn't understand how to deal with the topic of his death.
The so-called "coronaries" led to an atypical situation: society as never before actively discussing the topic of death, however, not talking seriously about how to leave when strikes the hour.
Instead, the focus was the economic aspect: how many hospital beds and medical ventilators available whose life is more important to save with the use of this technique. In other words, how much time and money is worth a human life.
The mayor of tübingen Boris Palmer (Boris Palmer) who has repeatedly shown his "lateral thinking", breaking various taboos on Tuesday provoked a public debate, saying that the German hospital to save people, "who after six months still die due to age and chronic diseases."
The leadership of the German Foundation for the protection of patients, in turn, said that it is unacceptable to frighten such statements for elderly and sick people. The words of Palmer means not that other, as the end of the solidarity of different generations.
With the question of how doctors make decisions about who to connect to a ventilator, and who is not, if Germany really will develop the same situation as in Italy, be sure to understand. But there is another, much more complex issue and our society for many years (that is, long before the outbreak of coronavirus) is dancing around him in the power of the mass of all kinds of fears.
The question is, who and how long to live, suffering from serious diseases. According to the German Foundation for the protection of patients, in recent weeks have received many questions from people looking for help (many of them elderly with chronic diseases). Half of them please do not connect them to the ventilator if they become infected with coronavirus and seriously ill.
For this, obviously, lies the fear that the medical help at any price in the worst case only prolongs the suffering of the patient, and not give him a full life. According to experts, they are looking at the situation in Italy, it is expected that the number of people in case of infection agree to the intensive care unit with a ventilator, will continue to decline.
However, many public health officials believe these assumptions are one-sided and indicate that doctors try as much as possible to save the life of even patients with the most serious diseases, for example, with traumatic brain injuries after an accident.
They do this because it is possible due to the level of development of modern medicine. In addition, many doctors rightly fear criminal liability if they allow seriously ill patients to die using every opportunity to heal.
But the fact that not every life can save modern medicine, is complete. Tens of thousands of saved so of years people exist in a state of "vegetable", being unconscious, being connected to a ventilator, receiving constant medical support, but with no chance for improvement.
So many patients in critical condition, the years remaining on a ventilator, not least due to financial abuse. Of course, it is tempting to save people, keeping them connected to the ventilator. Now, in times of crisis, this relationship is also actively discussing. One of the most renowned experts in the field of health Economics wasem jürgen (Jürgen Wasem) from the University of Duisburg-Essen recently said in an interview to our edition of that on a ventilator "made a lot of money," and so many hospitals are looking to purchase medical ventilators.
The longer a patient remains on a ventilator, the more money the insurance company pays. This issue is not only clinics. Ambulatory nursing services also get tens of thousands of euros per month.
Some doctors have long criticized the situation in Germany in this field. First among them is doctor Matthias Buffalo (Matthias Thöns), a specialist in palliative medicine. He is a regular speaker for the disconnection of the old and critically ill patients from the ventilator if they experience suffering and death seems the best alternative. It also acts against the fact that patients underwent operation if it is evident that it will only prolong their suffering.
The Buffalo and personally encountered cases where people who were living just a few months, have had surgery, e.g., cataract. Because he often raises such uncomfortable themes, at TENSA has a problem with "Orthodox" medicine. So, about a year ago he spoke in support of the individual who submitted to the court in doctors for, according to him, several years using equipment supported the life of his father against his own will.
This man came to the Supreme court, demanding compensation for the fact that his father several years have experienced suffering which could have been avoided. However, the court rejected his claim, and, in the opinion of TENSA, this solution became a real human catastrophe — in fact it meant that the decision to live or die, not take his family, and doctors.
For all the apparent cynicism of the remarks of Palmer, representing the green party, in this context it can be interpreted quite differently — as a call often to ask the question of what is man the better at the end of life and what one wants for himself. And if this is exactly what Palmer had in mind, it is absolutely correct.
Now that our society pretends that death does not exist, that we can get rid of death technically. If it would be better if we learned to understand the death, what are the signs that the body and soul of man ready to care. When the person stops eating and drinking when the temperature drops his body when he finally stops breathing.
It is not taught in school, and hardly anyone gets a realistic idea of how the process of the death before you see it on the example of their own loved ones. Such a skill we definitely do not have. And it would be nice if we acquired it — including because then death would cease to seem to us so terrible.
