The Virgin With the Golden Heart
1965 holy card of Our Lady of Beauraing , Our Lady with the Golden Heart ; fair use disclaimer udayton.edu/blog/marianlibrary/2020-11-23-our-lady-of-beauraing-php
BRIEF BACKGROUND HISTORY FOR THE THIRTY THREE APPARITIONS AT BEAURAING BELGIUM
In 1932 the Communists were in power in Russia and were trying to extend their Godless rule throughout the world. Mussolini, master of Italy, was persecuting the Church. Adolf Hitler was rising in Germany and would assume complete power within a few months. Communists, Fascists, and Nazis were all aided by the unrest caused by the world wide depression.
War was in the winds.
Our Lady of Fatima had prophesied World War II in 1917, fifteen years previously. She had said that "a night, illumined by an unknown light, would precede a war in which the good will be martyred and the Holy Father will have much to suffer" if God's will was not carried out. That Divine Will was and is … the 'Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary' in union with all the Bishops of the world. on the same day'
Her message at Beauraing was more than spoken words. She did not mention her Immaculate Heart in her spoken words to the children but she showed it as a Heart of Gold. This Golden Heart was a reminder of the Fatima message of the Immaculate Heart. It was more eloquent than words.
The night the sky was illuminated by "an unknown light" Prophesied by Our Lady of Fatima in reference to WWII beginning soon. It was seen all over the world.
THE STORY OF THE CHURCH APPROVED APPARITIONS IN BEAURAING BELGIUM TO FIVE CHILDREN
On the evening of November 29, 1932, Fernande and Albert Voisin started toward the Academy to walk home with their sister, Gilberte. Fernande was fifteen and looked younger. She was small, with brown eyes, black hair and olive colored skin. She had a pleasing smile and gentle disposition. Albert was eleven, had an oval face, large sparkling blue eyes and lips that seemed always about to break into a laugh.
On their way, Fernande and Albert passed the home of the Degeimbre family. They rapped at the kitchen shutters, and, in a few moments were joined by two of the Degeimbre girls, Andree and Gilberte. Andree was fourteen and looked to be about sixteen. She was blonde, shy, and somewhat slow in speech. Gilberte Degeimbre was nine with blonde hair and azure blue eyes. She was an honest and straight forward child and one of her teacher said she would never tell a lie. These two Degeimbre girls lived with their widowed mother, and, their older sister Jeanne.
These are the five children. Two of the girls were named Gilberte. To distinguish them, the neighbors called the Voisin girl "Big Gilberte" and the Degeimbre girl "little Gilberte"
Albert was the only boy. He loved mischief and on the way to the Academy that night he rang five doorbells, and, then ran away. Each time, the girls joined him in flight.
After the children had walked a short distance from the Degeimbre home, they arrived at the convent where the school was located. Just past the convent the street was crossed by a high railroad viaduct.
The railroad embankment ran behind the convent and its grounds. The convent grounds were on the right hand of the street as the children faced the embankment. An iron fence surmounting a low stone wall separated the convent garden from the cobblestone street. Behind the garden and facing the street was the large brick building which housed both the sisters' convent and the Academy.
The children climbed the few steps which led to the convent door and rang the doorbell. As they waited for the Sister portress to answer the bell, Albert turned and looked in the direction of the viaduct about fifty yards away.
"Look" he cried. "The Blessed Virgin, dressed in white, is walking above the bridge!"
At first, the girls thought that Albert was up to his tricks. Then they saw the wonder on his face. They looked, and they saw the luminous figure of a lady dressed in white. She was walking in the air. Through the folds of the lady's robe they could see the movements of her knees as she walked. Her feet were hidden in a cloud.
Frightened, the children rang the doorbell insistently. Sister Valeria opened the door and did not notice the children's excitement. She went to get 'little' Gilberte Voisin, and, as she was helping her put her coat on she noticed how agitated the waiting children were."Look Sister, the Virgin is walking above the grotto." Sister opened the door wider and said she could see nothing. Then little Gilberte Voisin came, all ready to go home with them, and she too could see the lady.
"Ohhh" she cried.
The frightened children ran down the garden path and to the street and on to the Degeimbre home. Mrs. Degeimbre did not believe the excited children. The three Voisin children went on to their home and their parents did not believe them either.
The next evening the four children once more set out to meet little Gilberte at the convent. As they started home with her, they suddenly saw the Lady again.She was walking over the railroad viaduct as she had the night before.
The children ran into the Degeimbre house shouting: "We've seen her. It is the Blessed Virgin, and she is so much more beautiful than any of her statues." Mrs. Degeimbre was very upset and thought that someone was playing a trick on the children.
PARENTS AND NEIGHBORS STARTING TO BELIEVE
The next evening she and a group of neighbors followed the children when they went to the convent. Mrs. Degeimbre was armed with a stout stick. The children were still out on the street when they saw the Lady again.Her hands were joined, her eyes raised to heaven. She smiled at the children and disappeared.
Little Gilberte Degeimbre, the youngest of the five, was so overcome by the beauty of Our Lady that she had to be taken home. Big Gilberte stayed with her while the other three children went back to the convent. This time, the parents went along.Before they had entered the convent gate the children shouted: "There she is!" They fell to their knees as if they had been struck down. In high-pitched voices they began to pray"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee….."
They were all looking at a Hawthorne tree which was inside the garden. The Lady was beneath an arched branch of this tree. " She looked young, about eighteen or twenty; her smile lighted up her features. Her eyes were a beautiful deep blue. rays of light came from her head. She wore a long heavily pleated gown without a belt" And the children also said that "the dress reflected kind of a blue light". She held her hands as " if she were praying, but parted them just before she disappeared, like the priest at the "Dominus Vobiscum" She had no Rosary during this apparition but would appear later with it.
HENCEFORTH SHE WOULD ALWAYS APPEAR BENEATH THE ARCHED BRANCH OF THE HAWTHORNE TREE
This sixth vision set a pattern. The Lady always appeared beneath the arched branch and the children would always pray in voices that were higher pitched than their normal voices. The two mothers consulted Father Leon Lambert, their pastor. He advised them not to talk to anymore about the matter. However everyone in the village was talking about it.
The Five Seers of Beauraing Seeing Our Lady 1932
THE CHILDREN ARE EXAMINED BY DOCTORS
The apparitions continued and large crowds were drawn. Beginning on December 6 the children were taken to the convent after each apparition and were questioned separately by Doctors and others. Extensive notes were taken. On December 8 there were fifteen thousand people.
Doctor Maistriaux felt Albert's pulse. Albert turned to look at him and then turned back to the vision. Little Gilberte wept . Dr. Maistriaux asked her why. "Because she is so beautiful." Gilberte answered. A few moments later Doctor Maistriaux asked Gilberte the same question but received no answer. The girl had not heard him. Then he again took Albert's pulse. The boys eyes did not leave the vision.
Doctor Lurquin of Houyet held a lighted match under Big Gilberte Voisin's hand and held it there until the fire had consumed half the match. She did not notice it. Other doctors pinched, slapped, and pricked the five children. They shined flashlights into their eyes. There was no reaction.
When the vision was over, Fernande said: "I could see nothing, neither fence nor tree, nor crowd … only the Holy Virgin who smiled at us."
THE MESSAGES
On December 17 Our Lady asked "for a chapel"
Four days later she said:: "I am the Immaculate Virgin"
On December 23 Fernande asked: "Why do you come?" Our Lady answered: "That people might come here on pilgrimages."
On December 28 she said: "Soon I shall appear for the last time"
On December 29 the Blessed Virgin opened her arms in farewell, and when she did so Fernande saw in the region of the Virgin's chest a heart of gold surrounded by glittering rays.
On this occasion Our Lady said to Fernande: "Pray, Pray very much."
On December 30, in addition to showing Her Golden Heart to three of the children, Our Lady said: "Pray. Pray very much."
On January 1 she said to Gilberte Voisin: "Pray always."
On January 2 She said: "Tomorrow I will speak to each one of you seeparately."
January 3, 1933 A great crowd was there for what was expected to be the final apparition. The children gave a joyful shout and fell to their knees. Fernande only was not able to see the vision. She sobbed.
Our Lady spoke to Little Gilberte, and gave her a secret that has never been revealed. Little Gilberte wept because she knew she would never see Our Lady again.
To Big Gilberte she uttered the words that are considered the Great Promise of Beauraing : "I will convert sinners." She then told her a secret and said: "Goodbye"
She told Albert a secret and said: "Goodbye"
To Andree she said: "I am the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven. Pray always"
Then she said "goodbye" to Andree while disappearing and showing the Heart of Gold as she disappeared.
Fernande was grief stricken at not seeing the Virgin. She wept. She remained kneeling … suddenly she heard a loud noise like a clap of thunder and saw a ball of fire on the hawthorne tree. Many of the people also heard this noise and saw the fire. Then Fernande saw her.
Because Our Lady had saved Fernande's message till last it seems that she wished to place special emphasis on it:
"Do you love my Son"
"Do you love me?"
"Then sacrifice yourself for me."
She glowed more brilliantly than before and extended her arms in farewell. As she rose she showed the Heart of Gold. Fernande wept and sank to the ground. She was helped into the convent.
Following the apparitions there were many documented miracles and the famous conversion of the editor of the Belgian Communist newspaper Le Drapeau Rouge (The Red Flag)
February 2, 1935 Bishop Andre-Marie Charue authorized public devotions
July 2, 1949 The same Bishop in a letter to the clergy wrote: We are able in all serenity and prudence to affirm that the Queen of Heaven appeared to the children of Beauraing during the winter of 1932-1933 especially to show us in her maternal Heart the anxious appeal for prayer and the promise of her powerful mediation for the conversion of sinners."

When People Made Their Own Sacred Heart Badges
On June 1, 2021 June 1, 2021 By Mary Anne
Between 1620 (when St. Margaret Mary received the Sacred Heart Badge), and, 1789 (the year of the French Revolution) many people made their own Sacred Heart badges.
They were very popular in the Court of King Louis XVI and Queen Antoinette Marie.
News of the graces obtained through the Badges which had been given to St. Margaret Mary
reached the Court of King Louis XVI. Maria Lesczynska, wife of King Louis XV became devoted to the Badge. In 1748 she received several Badges from Pope Benedict XIV as a wedding gift. Among the various presents sent by the Pontiff were "many Badges of the Sacred Heart made of red taffeta and embroidered gold." the records say.
SPECIAL EMBLEM OF COUNTER REVOLUTIONARIES
The unfortunate French Revolution erupted in France in 1789. True Catholics found protection in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus during that period. Many priests, nobles, and commoners who resisted the bloody anti-Catholic revolution wore the badge. Even ladies of the Court wore the Badge embroidered with precious materials over fabric. The simple fact of wearing it became a distinctive sign of those who opposed the French Revolution.
Among the belongings of Queen Marie Antoinette, guillotined out of revolutionary hatred, was found a drawing of the sacred Heart, with the wound, the cross, and crown of thorns, and the inscription: "Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us."
TO DON THE BADGE OF THE SACRED BADGE WAS TO BECOME AN ENEMY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. http:sacredtreasures.typad.com/sacred-treasures
In 1793, when the peasants of the Vendee revolted against the anti-Christian character of the French Revolution, they wore the Sacred Heart Badge into battle, with cries of "Rembarre!" The gallant revolt was viciously put down by the Revolutionary government; in the name of liberty, many men, women and children were tortured and massacred.
" You can be certain that wherever the place may be; in your living room, on a locker, or in a Berlin barracks, or in the billfold you carry everywhere with you … whatever the image of the Sacred Heart may be … a holy card, a badge, or a picture … you will be blessed because you have exposed and honored it. " http://sacredtreasures.typepad.com/sacred-treasures
And not you alone, but everyone who is in that place will be blessed with you.
For Our Divine Lord said "I will bless every place in which an image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored."

If only King Louis XIV had asked questions when he had heard the rumors about some Sacred Heart messages for him …through a visionary at Paray-le-Moyal. The King had already been communicating with St. John Eudes. He was growing older and weaker at this time.
But only Father Le Chaize, the Confessor of the King, to whom St. Margaret Mary Alocoque had sent a letter, in which was written, for the king, the exact requests of the Sacred Heart knew. Father Le Chaize, failed to give them to the King. His reasons were fear of his superior.
His Superior … in the Jesuit order … was hostile to the events occurring in Paray-Le-Moyal. Father Le Chaize was a good Priest.
His Superior had already chastised severely another Jesuit, Father Croisset, for writing about the apparitions and propagating them.
The chain of events could have been so different. Even to…
Pere Francois d'Aix de la Chaise, Confessor of King Louis XIV, was born at the mansion of Aix, in Forez. He entered the Jesuit novitiate at Roanne in 1649 after teaching the humanities and philosophy.
He became the confessor to Louis XIV in 1675, succeeding the deceased Father Ferrier, and filled this influential but extremely delicate position conscienciously for 34 years.
King Louis had mistresses and many illegitimate children. He had many enemies in his court. There was a period of witchcraft and another called 'the poison affair'. These are all documented in 'Memoirs of the Duc de St. Simon' – a series of voluminous tomes which are considered by universal consent to be at the head of French historical papers."
I am trying to adhere to the spiritual aspects of the times as it appears to me that the good Lord wants the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart…

Monograph on Mullerian Dysgenesis.
Author Name: Dr.E.C.Sreevalsan | Format: Paperback | Genre : Educational & Professional | Other Details
Title: Monograph on Mullerian Dysgenesis.
Product ID: 32573-1319532-NA-NED-T0-NIRM-REG-IND-GU-101017-103
Mullerian Dysgenesis is a maldevelopment of the Generative tract that mostly goes unnoticed retaining menstruation and childbearing function. Until there is no cavity. In this category, (< 1 % is the incidence), there are no changes after birth, and they cannot menstruate. Their life is one of despair with no hope. Till date, there has been no report of any medical corrective method for this deformation.
In 2005, after getting a Patent (thus preserving the methodology) from the Government of India entitled, 'A unique combination of Ayurvedic Compounds for correcting a rare form of mullerian dysgenesis', he started, 'Correction of mullerian dysgenesis' at A. G. Hospital, Chromepet, as a prospective patent on the first of April in 2005.
Till date, 20 cases (18 without cavity) have undergone corrections, 17 of which have developed a cavity, three have attained menarche (first period), and five have entered into matrimony. This is the first medical option for this condition. It is our fervent hope that this regime will help them re-join the mainstream.

Beetle Boy by M.G. Leonard was published in 2016 and told the story of Darkus Kuttle and his friendship with a beetle. This book is referenced in that series of books and is a handbook to beetles; collecting them and identifying them.
It isn't arranged via the standard taxonomy and instead by shared traits, skills or appearance; thus there are sections for beetles with "massive mandibles" and for those with "extraordinary exoskeleton(s)".

Q: About model comparison in terms of training/validation loss I'm comparing two models, and want to clarify the weird results.
Model 1 achieves lower training loss than model 2, but get higher validation loss.
Because over-fitting and under-fitting are determined by comparing training/validation loss of themselves, therefore, I think it's not an issue of over-fitting.
Precisely, I'm now training with point cloud classification tasks,
got model 1 training loss : 1.51, test loss : 1.56 /
    model 2 training loss : 1.37, test loss : 1.58.
All other conditions are the same.
So the question is, how can this happens, test loss is lower than training loss?
it will be grateful anyone can help our problems.

Japan provides Vietnam with US$5.7 million to enhance children's resilience to disaster risks
Anh Kiet
The project will also equip children, parents and communities with knowledge and skills to respond to climate change and natural disasters.
The Embassy of Japan and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Vietnam on November 17 inked an exchange of notes for a US$5.7-million-project on "enhancing resilience to disaster risks and climate change for children".
The exchange of notes was signed by Japanese Ambassador Takio Yamada and UNICEF Representative in Vietnam Rana Flowers under the witness of Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep.
The project will run in Vietnam from 2021 to 2026 with a view to building institutional capacity to support child-centered and climate-sensitive activities through policy advocacy to access 27,000 children under 18 years old in central Vietnam and the Mekong Delta, especially southern provinces of Soc Trang, Ca Mau and Bac Lieu.

The project also equips children, parents, and communities with knowledge and skills to respond to climate change and natural disasters. It will strengthen the resilience of 20,000 people, including 9,000 children with improved water and sanitation services; and 10,000 children under five years old who will undergo screening for severe acute malnutrition to make timely interventions.
At the event, Deputy Minister Hiep expressed his gratitude to the Japanese Government and UNICEF for supporting risk reduction and other fields, including nutrition, healthcare, education, and clean water supply, to meet the basic needs of people in natural disaster-hit areas.
"The signing of the document marked an important milestone in the close partnership among the governments of Vietnam and Japan and UNICEF," said the deputy minister.
He expressed his hope that the Japanese Government and UNICEF will keep sharing experience and promoting Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in strengthening the resilience of natural disaster response projects and management systems.
Hiep also expected Japan and UNICEF to put forward recommendations for Vietnam, carry out behavior-change campaigns, and raise awareness of people, leaders, and managers in disaster risk reduction to build a disaster-resilient society.
For her part, UNICEF Representative in Vietnam Rana Flowers, said the climate crisis is a crisis of children's rights.
Vietnam is facing climate change-related disasters, like drought and saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta, as well as historic floods and landslides in central Vietnam in 2020, the UNICEF official said.

She noted that many communities hit by natural disasters are suffering adverse impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic and the project will address vulnerable issues in multiple areas, namely clean water, sanitation, nutrition, education, and children's protection.
Moreover, the project does not only consider children as a vulnerable group but also an agent of change for a green, clean and safe community, Rana Flowers stressed.
According to the UNICEF Children's Climate Risk Index 2021, Vietnamese children and adolescents are at the highest risk of being affected by climate change.
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.
Previously, in January, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) provided US$180,000 in flood relief to the Vietnamese elderly.
In particular, over 3,700 UNFPA Dignity Kits worth US$180,000 were provided to the elderly in central Vietnam following a series of storms and tropical depressions that hit the region last year.
Last year, central Vietnam was struck by a series of storms and tropical depressions, triggering heavy rains, flooding, and landslides. Over 200 people were killed and property losses amounted to around VND30 trillion (US$1.3 trillion). Hundreds of thousands of homes were either destroyed or damaged, affecting the lives of at least 7.7 million residents, especially the Vietnamese children and elderly.
The Vietnamese Government has allocated around VND770 billion (over US$34 million) to the region as emergency relief. Many international organizations and countries like the US, the UK, and Australia also provided aid to assist the resumption of normal life.

The Panic Cougar was one of a couple of funny cars out of Brooklyn, New York. The Cougar ran out of the Sid's Automotive Shop and driven by Joel Kimmerman (better known as Joel Kim). The funny car was purchased from Ed Schartman and totally rebuilt. The team narrowed the chassis and installed a Ramchargers Chrysler Hemi for power. The Panic Cougar ran a best of 7.89, 189 in 1971 before Kim retired to get married. A search for a new driver was launched, but never came to fruition. The Sid's Automotive Panic team disbanded and retired from funny car racing. (Photo courtesy of Big Bob Snyder; information from Dennis Doubleday and Draglist files).
The Green Hornet team was a partnership of two funny car teams that combined their forces to run this green Mustang. Brooklyn, New York racer Joe Black had raced the Green Hornet as a Camaro and a Firebird, first as an unblown funny car and later with a blown setup. Rollie Lindblad was a well-known chassis builder from the state of Maine who raced the Crazy Horse Mustang in 1969. The pair chose the Mustang to race and stuffed it with a 426 inch Chrysler Hemi. The team suffered a severe fire that made many magazines. The pair retired from funny car racing after the1970 season. Rollie Lindblad continues to build race cars to this day. (Handout photo courtesy of Big Bob Snyder; information from Dennis Doubleday and Draglist files).
Harlan Thompson later went on to fame as a hired driver in the seventies and became Europe�s most successful driver in the eighties. But Harlan began his funny car career in the seventies with this 69 Camaro. The Poulsbo, Washington, based racer bought the ex-Art Whipple machine from Jerry Ruth in 1971. Harlan did not race the car very long, running it off the end of a Northwest track. Thompson became a hired shoe, driving the Time Machine, Tom n' Jerry, Fireball Vega and Monza, Saturday Night Fever, and cars for Gary Richards and Knut Soderqvist. (Photo and Information from Draglist files).
We love obscure funny cars here at 70s Funny cars and here is a great example of one from Texas. Bernie Williams had been one of the drivers of the Hunt & Taylor Hemi Hoss Mustang funny car in the 1970 season. Williams returned to racing with this Corvette called the Tasmanian Devil. The Corvette was undoubtedly the former Phantom funny car of Wayne Wilder, a very lightweight machine originally built by T-Bar chassis in Dallas. Little else is known about the performance of the winged Corvette, except that it ran both alcohol and nitro at various times. (Photo courtesy of Hector Leal and www.roddingandracing.com; information courtesy of Dennis Doubleday and Draglist files).
Bill Moore, like many other alcohol racers of the mid-seventies, raced against his nitro big brothers. Racers did this for several reasons: having a place to race, guaranteed money, no local circuit for alcohol cars, and to get away from having to race the lighter, swoopier dragsters in Pro Comp. Bill ran his funny in the Texas Pro Fuel Circuit to fill out fields and to make some money. Moore could run mid-sevens with this little Cuda. He built a new Monza in 1976 and continued to race with the AA/FCs. Moore retired from racing before the advent of the All American Funny car Circuit for alcohol cars in 1978. (Photo courtesy of Hector Leal and www.roddingandracing.com; information courtesy of Draglist files).
Dennis Piranio did not run nitro in his Performance Engines Vega funny car, but he did run the car against his fuel powered cousins. The Performance Engines machine was built to replace his AHRA record holding AA/GS Anglia and was originally slated to run an Anglia body on the Texas Anglia Circuit. Piranio built the chassis and engine and had an Anglia body ready to mount, but changed his mind and mounted the Vega body to go funny car racing. Dennis raced the car against AA/Funny Cars in NHRA Division 4 and match race action, running low sevens with consistency. He replaced the short Vega in 1977 with a new, longer Mustang II, and continued to have great success in Division 4. Piranio continues to run Performance Engines. (Photo courtesy of Hector Leal and www.roddingandracing.com; information courtesy of Dennis Piranio and Draglist files).
Clayton Pool is a free spirited racer from the great state of Texas. Pool raced Anglias, injected fuel funny cars, rocket cars, and nitro funny cars. Pool built this funny car in the mid-seventies to race in Division 4. The Hemi-powered Vega ran a known best of 6.89 at 200 plus. Clayton retired from drag racing in the eighties but later returned with a Pro Mod and finally another alcohol funny car. (Photo courtesy of Hector Leal and www.roddingandracing.com; information courtesy of Clayton Pool and Draglist files).
Rick Stambaugh got into funny car racing with the Norseman Firebird in the early seventies, and then took a few years off. Stambaugh returned with this Logghe Stamping built New Generation Charger in 1976 with Tom Stephens at the wheel. The team ran the Donovan powered car in the tough Northeastern funny car wars, hitting a 6.95 known best in 78 before retiring. Stambaugh came back with the old chassis adorned with a Corvette at the start of the nostalgia funny car craze and also ran as an AA/Fuel Altered. (Photo courtesy of Norman Blake, info from Rick Stambaugh and Draglist files).
The Mountain Music machine is a one of the few funny cars to run out of West Virginia. The team of Roger Hamrick and Joe Boggs began their fuel career in Top Fuel, but built this Mustang II in 1975. The car featured a J. Ed Horton chassis powered by the big block Chevrolet out of the dragster. Hamrick drove at the beginning with Joe Boggs doing the tuning. Art Suiter later took over the driving chores. The car ran best times in the low sevens and high sixes. (Photo courtesy of David Oakes; information courtesy of Rodger Hamrick, Art Suiter, and Draglist files).
Chuck Finders was a well known chassis builder and gasser racer who had moved to Ohio in the late sixties. By the mid-seventies, Chuck had switched over to racing fuel funny cars. Finders is best known for the High Speed Vega and High Speed Monza machines that he campaigned with Ken Thornburg. Finders partnered with Jr Rollins in 1976 to race this Cuda, which they had purchased from Bob Larimore (who had raced it as the Circus Cuda). Finders and Rollins raced the car for one year, and then Finders and Ken Thornburg built a new car for 1977. (Photograph courtesy of James Morgan; information from Draglist files).

The health care job market is booming. In 2015, the industry added an average of 40,000 jobs a month, almost double the 2014 rate, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). What does this mean for your medical practice? To hire and retain the best staff in this competitive market, you need to make sure you're doing everything you can to provide an appealing work environment for your employees. Read on to find out how.
What do health care professionals really earn?
First and foremost, determine whether you're paying your employees competitively. Doctors' salaries have been following a slight upward trend over the past few years. According to the 2015 Medscape Physician Salary Report, the average compensation for specialists is $284,000 and for a primary care physician is $195,000. Ophthalmologists made an average of $292,000 per year. And job growth for optometrists—whose median annual salary is $101,410—is much faster than the average for all occupations. It's projected to increase 27 percent by 2024, per the most recent BLS data.
It's important to consider cost of living in your area in the salary equation, as well. This can change over time, as can competition and physician density in certain parts of the country. In 2015, the highest physician earnings were reported in the Northwest and South Central regions of the U.S., a change from the 2011 report, which showed the highest earnings in the West and North Central regions.
Of course, practices need to consider how they compensate support staff as well as doctors. Total support staff costs make up about 30 percent of medical revenue in multispecialty groups, according to the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA).
The median pay for medical and health services managers, also called health care executives or health care administrators, was $92,810 per year or $44.62 per hour, according to the BLS. Medical receptionists make an average of $12.90 an hour, salary surveys show.
Beyond salary and benefits, however, what may have the biggest impact on your practice's ability to attract and retain the best staff may be something more intangible, like workplace culture. Culture sets you apart from your competition, says physician recruiter Melissa Byington in Physician's Practice.
"In a job seeker's market, it's important to ask yourself some tough questions. Why would a physician or staff member choose to work with your practice? What makes you stand out from the competition? What are you doing to keep your current team engaged?" If you're doing things right, says Byington, the answer to each of these questions is that your practice prioritizes a strong company culture. This doesn't just happen by itself, though. It requires effort and a commitment to hiring for fit and training for skills, and asking for regular feedback from your staff, among other things.
You might even consider targeting some of your hiring and company culture efforts towards the specific needs of millennials.

Newborn Care DVD May Reduce Health Care Use
October 7, 2010 August 19, 2019
Susan London – Major Finding: Of new parents who were shown a DVD on newborn care, 39% made extra office visits in their infant's first months of life, compared with 63% of their counterparts who were given printed materials on newborn care.
Data Source: A randomized trial among 137 parents bringing their newborn to an urban pediatric primary care practice for the first time. Disclosures: Dr. Paradis reported that she had no conflicts of interest related to the study.
VANCOUVER, B.C. – A DVD covering the basics of newborn care helps new parents feel more prepared to care for their infant and reduces health care use in the first few months of life, one study found. In a randomized trial among 137 parents bringing their newborns in for a first pediatric office visit, parents who were shown and given the DVD during their visit felt more confident in bathing their infants and recognizing congestion, compared with parents who were given printed materials. In addition, only 39% of parents in the DVD group made more than one additional office visit with their newborn before the 2-month well-child check, whereas 63% of parents in the control group did. Most parents who watched the DVD were satisfied with the information they received, and staff and providers felt that this intervention was helpful and easy to integrate in the clinic.
"Media-based learning in the primary care office is feasible [and] well accepted, and can have a positive impact on its target audience," lead investigator Dr. Heather A. Paradis said, summing up the findings. Research has shown that parents welcome anticipatory guidance and want their pediatrician to provide this type of information, she noted. But current strategies are not meeting all of their educational needs. "Prior studies have shown promise to impact parental behavior with targeted video messages," said Dr. Paradis, a pediatrician at the University of Rochester (N.Y.) "However, little is known about the use of media-based learning in the primary care setting." She and her co investigators recruited parents who were bringing their newborn younger than 1 month of age for a first visit to a large, urban, pediatric primary care practice.
Parents were assigned to a control group or an intervention group. Those in the former group were given a packet of printed materials on newborn care. Parents in the latter group were shown a DVD on newborn care while they waited in the examination room and were given it to take home. The DVD, which was produced locally, lasted 15 minutes and featured a pediatrician and several newborns of diverse ethnicities. "It covered basic aspects of newborn care as endorsed by the AAP [American Academy of Pediatrics] and Bright Futures guidelines," Dr. Paradis explained. In all, 70 parents were assigned to the DVD group and 67 to the control group. Most were the infants' mothers (92%), were aged 21 years or older (74%), and had at least a high school education (60%). In 43% of cases, the newborn was their first child. The newborns were 6 days old, on average. Most were of minority races (89%) and had public health insurance (82%).
Study results showed that parents in the two groups did not differ significantly with regard to changes from baseline in overall scores for knowledge of infant development, self-efficacy in infant care, and problem solving in infant care, she reported. However, scores were high in both groups at baseline. When individual self-efficacy measures were assessed, relative to parents in the control group, those in the DVD group were more likely to report feeling very confident in bathing their newborn (93% vs. 78%) and recognizing congestion (70% vs. 52%). Between the first visit and the 2-month well-child visit, parents in the DVD group had fewer total consultations of any kind with a professional about their newborn (2.9 vs. 4.0) and were less likely to make more than one additional visit (39% vs. 63%). The latter finding persisted in multivariate analysis. "In fact, parents in the control group were 2.6 times more likely to have more than one additional office visit between birth and 2 months, compared with parents in the DVD group," commented Dr. Paradis. Parent satisfaction with information and support was high in both groups. However, parents in the DVD group were more likely to agree or strongly agree that they felt better prepared to care for their baby after the first visit (94% vs. 81%). As for feasibility, she said, "the incorporation of this video was a low-cost intervention that was fully integrated into the function of our hectic and sometimes chaotic clinic." Most or all staff and providers agreed that the DVD was not disruptive to patient flow (93%), was not difficult to incorporate into the daily routine (100%), and was helpful for delivering anticipatory guidance (86%).
"Video represents an efficient way to reach new parents as part of an office encounter, and may impact their health care utilization," Dr. Paradis concluded.
'Newborn Care 101' for newbie parents
Babies: Valencia pediatrician releases DVD to answer the most common questions about newborns
By Melissa Gasca – Signal Staff Writer
Palmdale residents Tim and Rachel Burhans had attended Lamaze classes for about five weeks, as they prepared to give birth to their first child. But preparation was cut short when Rachel Burhans went into labor seven and a half weeks early.
"We hadn't even finished all of our Lamaze classes," Tim Burhans said. "We hadn't gotten to the point where they teach you proper technique for pushing."
Luckily, Burhans and his wife had watched "Newborn Care 101," a 70-minute DVD, just a few weeks before the birth. "The information was actually more useful than what we'd learned in five weeks of Lamaze," he said. "If we would have gone into the birth without watching the DVD, we would have been as unprepared as possible."
"Newborn Care 101" is the creation of Valencia pediatrician Dr. Michael Schoenwetter. The DVD is designed to answer the frequently asked questions that Schoen-wetter receives on a daily basis.
"Babies don't come with an instruction booklet," he said. "We're trying to make it as close to an instruction booklet for the newborn period as possible."
Relieving anxiety
In doing some research on similar products before his DVD's 2009 launch, Schoenwetter said most of the informational resources on newborns he came across were from a nurse's perspective, not from a pediatrician's view. Schoenwetter of Valencia Pediatric Associates sees close to 40 newborns a month. That rate of care, combined with a 10-year practice, adds up to a wealth of experience. And those dozens of newborns visiting his office are brought by their stressed parents.
"Every single family seems to ask me the same questions," Schoenwetter said. "A lot of these families are a little bit on edge and a little bit nervous."
With any "first" comes a slew of unknowns. But when the "first" is a child, it takes on an entirely different realm of fears. "Even as a pediatrician, my experience wasn't so smooth sailing," Schoenwetter said.
But the end of pregnancy and newborn period doesn't have to carry the stress that it often does, Schoenwetter said, and it shouldn't.
"You want to be able to look back at that time with fond memories," Schoenwetter said. "Parents are so stressed out that they forget this is supposed to be a happy, fun time. By watching the DVD even once they're a little more relaxed, and they can actually enjoy the experience."
Newborn Care 101
In "Newborn Care 101," Schoenwetter starts out by addressing issues of the late-pregnancy period and subsequent birth, such as what to bring to the hospital and what to expect in the hospital after the baby is born.
Schoenwetter takes his audience through questions frequently posed to pediatricians. He discusses common symptoms, what items to have at home, how to pick a pediatrician and conducts an examination of a real newborn on screen. Scaly rash on the scalp? Normal. Hiccups in the womb? Normal.
"We get a lot of (calls about) hiccups," Schoenwetter said. "It's a completely normal characteristic. In fact, most moms would even report that their baby was hiccupping in the womb."
The majority of the calls Schoenwetter receives from panicked parents of newborns often end with some simple advice: "It's normal." That's not to say that parents shouldn't be concerned if they notice something is wrong, Schoenwetter said, but education can minimize those concerns. The DVD comes with an easy-to-read reference guide highlighting normal characteristics versus when to call a pediatrician. The packet was authored by Dr. Loraine Stern, a clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of California, Los Angeles and private practitioner since 1971.
"I think we have to be concerned with health care dollars; we shouldn't be running to the doctor for every little thing," he said. "If we can educate young parents, especially first-timers, that's going to go a long way."
Enjoying their newborn
The Burhans' daughter is now eight months old. The couple never had to take the baby to the doctor for any other reason beyond the regular check-ups, Tim Burhans said. When signs came up, they were expected not worrisome.
"One specific thing was her inconsistent breathing; she'd start breathing rapidly, calm and then rapidly again," Burhans said. "That's something (Dr. Schoenwetter) addressed as very common."
"Newborn Care 101" helped transform a typically stressful process into an enjoyable parenting experience for the Burhans.
The DVD may not be the know-all, end-all on newborn care, but it conveyed enough information to the Burhans to keep them aware of their newborn daughter's health and happiness.
"Obviously, there's still stuff that comes up that you won't know until you experience it, but it definitely minimized the anxiety," Tim Burhans said. "The DVD answered a lot questions before we even asked them."
Newborn 101 "What parents need to know"
by Yvette Gulgneaux – Parent Times
There's an old saying about babies, "People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have any." Welcome to the world of newborns – a world filled with joy from a sweet new life and also with a wealth of questions that seem endless. Am I feeding my baby enough? My baby is spitting up a lot, is that normal? How long does jaundice last? Does the crying ever stop, what can I do? Newborn vaccinations, how do those work? How do I choose a pediatrician? What do I need to know about SIDS?
These questions turned into frequent panicked parents coming into the pediatric office of Dr. Mike Schoenwetter. "With all these questions, lots of parents are nervous and stressed out," says Dr. Mike. "Our whole goal was to empower, creating a better new born experience for parents." Dr. Mike's passion for kids began years ago as a camp counselor and eventually became one with his love for medicine. He trained and did his chief residency at UCLA and has lived with his wife and two children in Santa Clarita since 2001. He admits having his own children has created a new perspective on kids and newborns.
"Raising kids is challenging enough, even for a pediatrician," says Dr. Mike, "but at least I had knowledge, education and resources to draw from. We think parents should have the same advantage."
Dr. Schoenwetter and Dr. Loraine Stern of Valencia Pediatrics, who are both UCLA veterans and have 50 years experience between them working with newborns, have developed some answers in a new series for parents entitled "Newborn 101." The series includes an informative DVD, accompanied by a website with downloads list and a bulletin board for parents. A hardcopy handbook is also in the mix and it is all designed to empower parents with knowledge and tools about what is going on with their newborn.
The DVD covers a variety of topics such as newborn feeding, colic, crying, sleep patterns, jaundice, newborn reflux and SIDS, just to name a few. Dr. Mike even goes through a routine exam on camera for both boys and girls so that parents can see what happens and know exactly what to expect.
"Our whole goal of making this video is to answer frequent questions from a pediatrician's point of view," says Dr. Mike, "creating a better newborn experience for the parent and the child." The idea being to give the parent tools they can use and to inform them that what their newborn is experiencing is not uncommon. A portion of the proceeds raised from Newborn 101 will be donated to the American Academy of Pediatrics Friends of the Children Fund.

AG Tools Elevates the Agriculture Industry from the Ground Up
Rising Tide Rising Tide - Jul '19 Startup
July 16, 2019 By Ethan Perez
The startup uses big data to solve one of the industry's biggest problems.
According to a study published in 2011 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, nearly one-third of the global production of food for human consumption is wasted – most of which occurs before getting to the consumer.
With the global population projected to increase almost 30 percent by 2050, meeting the needs of developed nations, let alone those currently afflicted by poverty and hunger, will become an even harder task for the agriculture industry.
AG Tools – a UCI Beall Applied Innovation Wayfinder startup that brings big data, analytics, reports and forecasts to the agriculture supply chain – believes that starting at the source, with the farmer, is the best bet for a sustainable future.
The Current State
"I always say that farmers are like painters," said Martha Montoya, CEO of AG Tools and board member of the California Department of Agriculture. "Just like painters who go into their studio to create beautiful paintings, farmers run amazing farms, but they do not always see the bigger picture of the world outside of where they operate."
There are a multitude of variables that affect the agriculture supply chain from farmer to buyer, and there is a vast disconnect between everyone involved. And, in this era of industries becoming more and more data-driven, it's important to stay informed on the latest consumer trends all over the world so that smart decisions on the farm level can be made proactively, rather than reactively.
Farmers typically rely on a free online portal provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that offers a few data sets but does not come close to the level of information needed to make truly informed logistics decisions. Furthermore, if a farmer were to compile the data themselves, it would require multiple man-hours and spreadsheets to have an impact – an unrealistic feat for farmers who have little time to sit behind a computer and conduct research in an industry where changes that affect the supply chain can happen fast.
Supply chain issues can be as simple as a truckload of produce waiting at a closed border – truck and refrigeration system running – due to a holiday that was not taken into account. Carbon footprint aside, the extra days at the border cost money and, because it is largely a consignment industry, the cost comes out of the farmer's paycheck.
Montoya spent years sourcing goods for the processed food market in the Americas, which helped her understand every aspect of the supply chain, including buyers, suppliers, farmers and shippers.
Her experience in global logistics gave her insights into the intricacies of processing procedures that influenced shipments. Through those experiences, she came to realize that no amount of processing could make bad produce taste as good as high-quality produce.
Soon after, Montoya was asked by friend Aslam Khan – accomplished franchisee and CEO of Falcon Holdings Management, a business management company – to help his company procure fresh produce directly from producers. Montoya then began her transition to fresh produce.
Montoya's deep understanding of the industry's needs come from her vast experience in logistics and agriculture supply chains.
In an effort to keep her finger on the pulse of her supply chains, Montoya began making a list of variables after she noticed a weekly shipment of bananas from Ecuador would routinely be late for a variety of reasons. Among the reasons were problems at the Panama Canal, workers not showing up the day after payday, little-known local holidays observed on business days and changes in fuel prices. The list of variables became so exhaustive that Montoya eventually hired staff whose main role was to call and verify that nothing on that list had changed to ensure a timely delivery. And it worked.
Montoya had eliminated so many of the pain points in her supply chains that her work became relatively predictable in an industry plagued with unpredictability. That was until a new variable made its way into the process: human error when verifying the list of variables. In the fast-paced, high-stress world of buying and sourcing food, a single human error can result in big losses.
Always looking to improve the process, Martha Montoya sought help from her brother Gustavo Montoya, now chief technology strategist at AG Tools, to build a program that automatically sent alerts when there were changes in the supply chain. The alerts quickly became overwhelming and Montoya realized she needed a new approach.
Martha asked Gustavo to observe the supply chain from the ground level to see if there was potential for a more robust solution beyond alerts. After examining the processes for two seasons, he knew it was possible from a technology standpoint, but the most important piece of the puzzle was simplifying it, since those who might benefit from this proposed tool do not have time to learn a new software.
A Smarter Solution
Gustavo Montoya began recruiting his team of software engineers by searching in his area of central Washington and found that many prime candidates were children of farm workers. He also found engineers with similar backgrounds in the city of Zamora – known for its berry farming – in Michoacán, Mexico.
This combined experience gave the team a unique advantage, as everyone involved understands how farmers can benefit from the software and has a deep passion for their work.
The AG Tools app delivers daily reports and real-time data, like commodity pricing, weather monitoring and freight costs, directly to users' smartphones, tablets or desktops.
The AG Tools software aggregates real-time data from around 40 trusted entities, including government agencies, as well as other metrics in an easy-to-use portal. The service empowers farmers, shippers and buyers by providing daily reports full of actionable information about their specific commodities, including market insights and supply chain logistics.
This means that a time-strapped worker can make informed decisions, from getting the best price to diverting shipments that would otherwise be wasted due to storms or labor strikes at the final destination.
While the technology side of the company is spearheaded by Martha's brothers Gustavo and Oscar Montoya, where they focus on developing the AG Tools software and work to bring more functions to users, Martha focuses on the business side, including sharpening her business acumen at the Cove @ UCI Beall Applied Innovation. There Martha uses the services of Small Business Development Center @ UCI Beall Applied Innovation, attends Wayfinder workshops, and takes advantage of as many Innovation Advisors as possible.
"I'm a student again and I love it," said Montoya. "And the free business guidance from industry leaders offered with the Innovation Advisor program is priceless and a huge advantage for AG Tools."
While the AG Tools software is currently focused on specialty crops – fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs and flowers – the software architecture is built to expand to other commodities in the future, which will only increase its worth to the agriculture industry. The software is competitively priced, too. Martha Montoya knows that a farmer can recoup the cost of their annual membership after using it to make an informed decision on just one shipment. But money is not the goal; a sustainable future for farmers, the entire supply chain and the world's agriculture production is. By ensuring a smarter supply chain, everyone from the farmer to the consumer aims to benefit.
"We start our weekly conference calls with one question: 'Who is number one,'" said Martha Montoya. "And that's the farmer. If we can help farmers, everyone else in the supply chain is safe. Because without the farmers, we have no food."
