BARROW is to benefit from a £16 million boost from the UK Government's Levelling Up Fund it was revealed today.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak made the announcement as he delivered his Autumn Budget to the House of Commons this afternoon.
The news heralds a bright future for Barrow, according to the leader of Barrow Borough Council, Cllr Ann Thomson.
She said: "We have great ambitions for Barrow town centre and its future development. The announcement today that our Levelling Up Fund application has been successful is cause for huge celebration.
"An enormous amount of effort went into producing a compelling bid. Our focus now will switch to delivering the very exciting projects that we identified, including: adding a food hall, improved stall spaces, and a soft play area to Barrow Market; creating a new exterior and façade on Duke Street, creating a link between The Forum and Barrow Market and improving connectivity in the town.
"Coupled with the Town Deal funds we have already secured, Barrow now has more than £40m of inward investment earmarked for a series of very exciting projects. The future looks very bright."
Barrow was the only authority in Cumbria to earn a priority one status from the Government's list of applicants for the £4.8bn Levelling Up Fund.
The fund's goal is to regenerate town centres in the country, assist cultural and heritage institutions, and build up transport projects.
Projects included in the fund bid were:
• Work to the Market Hall which would see the ground floor of the building regenerated to include improved stall spaces, a food hall, soft play area for children

Perhaps the biggest development in Vybz Kartel and his co-accused murder trial are the text messages revealed by the prosecution yesterday in the Home Circuit court.
Today, Detective corporal Shawn Brown, who made a PowerPoint presentation of the text messages yesterday, read out more text messages in court this morning.
In another text message Shawn Storm sent a text message saying he don't know why they running if they did nothing wrong.
four days after the alleged murder, on August 20, 2011, Shawn "Storm" Campbell sent a text to the same unknown individual asking if he had hear that Clive Williams had ran away.
Today, Detective corporal Shawn Brown also presented more text messages between Clive "Lizard" Williams and his girlfriend Onieka Jackson sent on August 16, 2011.
Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer along with Shawn "Storm" Campbell, Kahira Jones, André St John, and Shane Williams are all on trial for the alleged murder of Clive Williams.
Police say Williams was beaten to death over two missing guns. His body was never found.
Trial is going on right now.
I understand all of the so called evidence that the prosecution is presenting now, but do you think that if there was a dead body identified as " Lizard" the case would have gone this far ? ………. Weak case #freegazaboss#freeshawnstorm#free madsuss and the rest.
Atty cannot cross examined text BS . That's good evidence right there . Text message and pics get lots of people in trouble . Buju informer was wired a that send Buju away technology is no fu—ng joke now a days . Also they had Buju on tape . Kartel and Shawn Storm did not cover their tracks . I don't know if Kartel will be find guilty it doesn't look good for Shawn Storm .

Health policy in the United States has been shaped by the political, socioeconomic, and ideological environment, with important roles played by public and private actors, as well as institutional and individual entities, in designing the contemporary American healthcare system. Now in a fully updated fifth edition, this book gives expanded attention to pressing issues for our policymakers including the aging American population, physician shortages, gene therapy, specialty drugs, and the opioid crisis. A new chapter has been added on the Trump administration's failed attempts at repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act and subsequent attempts at undermining it via executive orders. .
Authors Patel and Rushefsky address the key problems of healthcare cost, access, and quality through analyses of Medicare, Medicaid, the Veterans Health Administration, and other programs, and the ethical and cost implications of advances in healthcare technology. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions and a comprehensive reference list. This textbook will be required reading for courses on health and healthcare policy, as well as all those interested in the ways in which American healthcare has evolved over time.

In a new study titled "How Millennials View Ethics in Public Relations Practice," Nancy Weaver and I have been exploring the availability of mentors for Millennials, both inside and outside of the workplace. Our study is jointly sponsored by the Public Relations Society of America and the Arthur W. Page Center.
Mentoring is a way of socializing employees into an organization by educating them about policies, role expectations and behavioral norms (Ashforth & Mael, 1989). Through a qualitative study, Pompper and Adams (2006) identified several benefits of mentoring in public relations, such as pointing out "image and behavioral detractors that could stunt" their growth and opening their professional networks to protégés.
Formal mentoring relationships tend to be associated with an employer assigning a more experienced person with a lesser experienced one, and informal mentoring relationships are associated with those that develop organically through the consent of the mentor and protégé.
I personally benefited from mentoring in my career and found that different mentors are needed for different seasons in our careers. Consistent with my personal experience, studies have found that both formal and informal mentors, both inside and outside of a company or organization are valuable at different stages of a career. When examining the impact of mentors in the academic environment, Peluchette and Jeanquart (2000) found that professors in their early and mid-career stages who had mentors from multiple sources (e.g., formal internal and informal external) experienced the highest levels of both objective (e.g., research productivity) and subjective success (e.g., work role, interpersonal, financial, life). In contrast, professionals in later career stages benefited more from internal mentors; however, as expected more senior professors were less likely to have mentors (Peluchette & Jeanquart, 2000).
Our current study involves an online survey with 236 Millennial public relations practitioners who are members of PRSA. While our study is still in progress, more than 80% of survey respondents have indicated they do have a mentor with whom they can discuss ethical concerns and almost 75% agree to strongly agree that they would be comfortable discussing ethical concerns with a mentor outside of their organization.
While these preliminary results are encouraging, our study did not ask participants to identify whether or not their employers are providing a mentor, but whether or not they have one. It is possible that many of these mentoring relationships are external to their employers.
Another issue of concern is the oldest members of the Millennial generation are beginning to take on managerial and other key decision-making roles. Almost 40% of our survey respondents indicated that they supervise either other employees or interns. As Millennials develop their managerial skills, internal mentors can be a valuable resource for guidance. These findings are preliminary and we look forward to sharing the full results upon completion of our study.

Can 'Samba King' David Neres weave his magic for Ajax against Juventus?
AMSTERDAM – David Neres may not represent part of Ajax's latest crop of gifted home-grown talent, but the Brazilian import is a chief component of a new golden generation emerging in Amsterdam.
The 22-year-old forward struck a magnificent individual equaliser in the first leg against Juventus to give Ajax hope ahead of Tuesday's return leg of their Champions League quarter-final in Turin.
Signed from Sao Paulo in January 2017 for a reported €12 million, Neres' form in the Dutch capital recently earned the winger a first call-up to the Brazil squad.
Mirroring a fearless Ajax side that has lost just once in five European matches this season against three continental giants – Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Juve – Neres impressed on his debut for the Selecao last month.
He set up a late winning goal in the 3-1 victory over the Czech Republic, and contributed to another with a sublime back-heel, having come off the bench for the final 27 minutes.
His dance-like moves around opponents on the pitch and his trademark jig after scoring goals have earned Neres the title of Ajax's "Samba King".
His haul of eight league goals only ranks fifth at Ajax this season, but seven in his last nine outings – both in Europe and the Eredivisie – show that Neres is hitting his stride at the ideal time.
"With his excellent jewel of a goal, which sent the Ajax supporters into a crazed frenzy, David Neres again underlined his excellent form," popular daily tabloid De Telegraaf said after last week's 1-1 draw.
"Ajax, with their home-grown philosophy, have exposed Juventus' weaknesses, which showed that they're, after all, not Ajax or Neres-proof," the paper added.
"David Neres is the dribble king, the street youngster who ignored his mum's calls when it was time to come inside. Dribbling, driving, haggling until he could no more (against Juventus)," wrote Willem Vissers in the De Volkskrant daily.
Neres' path to Europe is one increasingly well trodden, following the likes of Vinicius Junior, Douglas Costa and Richarlison who crossed the Atlantic despite limited first-team exposure in Brazil.
"I think he has the potential to be an important player for the Selecao, but he has to be patient," says Ledio Carmona, a widely respected Brazilian football commentator.
"There are high expectations of him and he deserves to be given a chance, but you can't yet guarantee he will be an indispensable part of the national team.
With reigning champions Madrid vanquished at the Bernabeu in the last round, Neres and Co will look to deliver a follow-up act in Italy every bit as mesmerising so to end Juventus' hopes of a first European crown in 23 years.

Fox Weather wants to blow through your devices.
The Fox Corp. climate-news service, which got its start as a streaming app when it launched in October of last year, is not so quietly winding its way into as many platforms as it can. On Thursday, Fox Corp. and smart-TV manufacturer Vizio unveiled an expanded distribution agreement that puts Fox Weather on Vizio WatchFree+ alongside existing Fox ad-supported channels. Since its debut the app has been downloaded more than two million times.
"We grew the Fox Weather ecosystem," says Sharri Berg, who leads Fox Weather as well as news and operations for the parent company's TV stations. "We started as a mobile app with a light linear network on it." Over the course of the past several months, Fox Weather has launched on venues such as Roku and Amazon; on local Fox station digi-nets: and even on the weekend schedule of the Fox Business Network.
Additionally, Will Surratt, a veteran news producer who has worked with Erin Burnett and Donny Deutsch, among other personalities, is joining Fox Weather as its vice president of weather programming and content. He has already worked on several longform specials for the service.
The idea, says Berg, is to view the weather-news outlet as a utility that can work as a lean-back experience on a living-room TV and as a help during an emergency on a smartphone. "We really built this for the consumer and just because a network is AVOD and free shouldn't mean it has to be a sub-par experience for an audience that is accustomed to watching things wherever it wants to."
Fox Weather is part of a growing assortment of broadband products launched by Fox News Media under CEO Suzanne Scott. Fox Nation serves as a sort of "Netflix for conservatives," offering everything from true crime stories from Nancy Grace to a coming comedy special from Roseanne Barr. A streaming service launched in 2020 makes Fox News programming available to overseas subscribers.
Berg says Fox Weather isn't just about providing short bursts of news about the temperature and climate. The outlet has also been developing longer-form material, including documentary-style specials such as an October project that had meteorologist Amy Freeze, who once covered Hurricane Sandy in the New York metropolitan area, look ten years later at the effects of the storm on the region.
The company has produced several similar efforts in recent months that send Fox Weather personnel back to regions with which they are familiar to examine how major weather events affected those places. The projects try to strike a "human connection," says Berg, and have proven popular on weekends.
Fox Weather will continue to try to seek new distribution, the executive says, and work on programing that appeals to its users in the hopes of getting them to spend more time with the service. After all, says Berg, "weather is about who it affects."

Diplopoma crenulatum (anciennement Chondropoma crenulatum) est une espèce de mollusques terrestres operculés de la famille des Annularidae, endémique des Petites Antilles.

Description

Diplopoma crenulatum est un escargot à coquille allongée et conique, de dimension moyenne pour le genre, avec un taille comprise entre 8 et 14 mm. La coquille présente un ombilic ouvert. Le dernier quart de tour se dégage légèrement du corps de la coquille. Le premier tour et demi, lisse et sombre, est le plus souvent absent des coquilles adultes, tandis que les trois et demi à cinq tours restants sont ornées de fines rides spiralés plus ou moins proéminentes selon les populations, et de crêtes axiales dont une partie se prolonge en tubercules au niveau des sutures entre les tours. Ces dernières sont profondes. L'ouverture, ovale ou en forme de goutte, présente une lèvre interne et externe. La coquille blanc crème à beige, peut être ornée d'une série de fines lignes discontinues spiralées brunes.

L'anatomie et la radula de cette espèce ne sont pas connues.

Distribution
La localité-type est la Guadeloupe. L'espèce est présente sur les îles suivantes :

 St Barthélemy,
 Saint-Martin,
 Antigua et Barbuda,
 Guadeloupe (Basse-Terre et Grande-Terre),
 La Désirade,
 Petite-Terre,
 Les Saintes,
 Marie-Galante,
 Martinique.

L'espèce est également citée à Antigua et Barbuda.

Des spécimens de Diplopoma crenulatum ont récemment été collectés sur la péninsule du parc de Cabrits, en Dominique, où ils sont pensés introduits depuis les îles de Guadeloupe proches.

A l'exception de Saint Martin, où l'espèce proche Diplopoma pupiforme est mentionnée, Diplopoma crenulatum est la seule espèce d'Annulariidae connue sur les îles où elle est présente, la mention historique de Diplopoma julieni (Pfeiffer, 1866) en Guadeloupe ayant été revue et attribuée à D. crenulatum.

Ecologie
Diplopoma crenulatum est une espèce  présente sur les troncs et les branches des arbres ou des buissons ou au sol parmi les débris. Comme tous les Annulariidae, D. crenulatum est une espèce calcicole commune sur les îles calcaires. Bien qu'en moins grand nombre, des spécimens se rencontrent également sur terrain volcanique, à l'exemple des Monts caraïbes ou des hauteurs de Bouillante, en Basse Terre.

L'opercule que possède l'escargot lui permet de s'isoler dans sa coquille et de supporter les heures chaudes de la journée comme les périodes de sécheresse. Cette spécificité lui permet d'être bien représenté dans les environnements xérophiles. À la différence des autres espèces d'Annulariidae, D. crenulatum affectionne également les environnements proche du littoral.

Easton Bible Dictionary
There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered.
(1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible LORD, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. The form "Jehovah" is retained only in Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4, both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.
(2.) Heb. 'adon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master, as of slaves (Gen. 24:14, 27), or a ruler of his subjects (45:8), or a husband, as lord of his wife (18:12).
The old plural form of this Hebrew word is _'adonai_. From a superstitious reverence for the name "Jehovah," the Jews, in reading their Scriptures, whenever that name occurred, always pronounced it _'Adonai_.
(3.) Greek kurios, a supreme master, etc. In the LXX. this is invariably used for "Jehovah" and "'Adonai."
(4.) Heb. ba'al, a master, as having domination. This word is applied to human relations, as that of husband, to persons skilled in some art or profession, and to heathen deities. "The men of Shechem," literally "the baals of Shechem" (Judg. 9:2, 3). These were the Israelite inhabitants who had reduced the Canaanites to a condition of vassalage (Josh. 16:10; 17:13).
(5.) Heb. seren, applied exclusively to the "lords of the Philistines" (Judg. 3:3). The LXX. render it by satrapies. At this period the Philistines were not, as at a later period (1 Sam. 21:10), under a kingly government. (See Josh. 13:3; 1 Sam. 6:18.) There were five such lordships, viz., Gath, Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron.

Media Company Advance Acquires The Esports Observer
Advance's subsidiary American City Business Journals previously held a minority interest in TEO.
Earlier this month, Advance acquired a majority stake in esports analytics firm Newzoo.
This marks the first exit for a company in the BITKRAFT Esports Ventures network.
American media company Advance Publications has completed its acquisition (official press release) of esports business news and data outlet The Esports Observer (TEO). Advance subsidiary American City Business Journals , publisher of SportsBusiness Journal, had previously acquired a minority stake in TEO. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Since our original investment in The Esports Observer last year, TEO has been key to helping us and our audience gain a better understanding of the broader esports business," said Whitney Shaw, CEO and co-founder of SportsBusiness Journal. "We see significant long-term potential in esports, and TEO helps us serve professionals in the business of esports, just as we've served traditional sports executives for more than 20 years."
[perfectpullquote align="right" cite="" link="" color="" class="" size=""]This is the second esports-related acquisition for Advance this month.[/perfectpullquote]
This is the second esports-related acquisition for Advance this month. The company has also acquired a majority stake in gaming analytics firm Newzoo . The acquisition allows TEO to directly collaborate with Newzoo as well as Advance's sports business events company Leaders. "We have no doubt that this acquisition will lead to accelerated growth, faster global expansion and significant opportunities for collaboration," said The Esports Observer CEO Chris Hana. "I look forward to working with this team going forward to take TEO to the next level."

TEO was founded in 2015 as part of the BITKRAFT Esports Ventures network. BITKRAFT is an esports business incubator founded by former ESL CEO Jens Hilgers. Its investment portfolio also includes esports clothing brand H4X and digital trading card platform Epics . TEO's acquisition marks the first exit for a BITKRAFT portfolio company.
"The Esports Observer was one of our first incubation projects in BITKRAFT," said BITKRAFT founding partner Jens Hilgers. "We built the company to solve a specific pain-point in our industry: the lack of a central credible source for esports business news and insights. We were convinced that this was a real need and addressing it we could also accelerate the growth of the industry at large. Just three years in the making we have succeeded in the mission we set for ourselves and we are very excited to be selling this great asset to a leading North American publisher and operator in the sports and media space."
Advance also owns a wide range of media companies, including magazine and digital content conglomerate Condé Nast, which operates publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Wired. It also has significant investments in Reddit and broadband communications company Charter Communications.

So you have accepted your chosen college course and it's time to finally make the big move & set off in search of accomodation for the year ahead. Moving out of home can be a daunting task for many students and it is very important to find a good place to live now that you don't have anybody to cook your dinner and keep you supplied with clean socks! There are plenty of options to help you find your new lodgings. Here are a couple of tips to get you clued up on how to find college accommodation.The local newspaper is a great place to find accomodation. Be sure to get the paper on the day of publication though and call as many as you can because you'd be surprised how fast people nab the good places! Your college will have an accomodatioms office, here you can get in touch with an accomodations officer or a student leader who will be more than happy to give you some advice. Don't immediately take the first place you view. Talk to the landlord and arrange a time or date when you can give a final decision about taking the room and remember NEVER hand over a deposit unless your 100% sure because you might not get it back.
Campus Accomodation is particularly good if your attending a college where none of your close friends are studying or you are attending a college far from home. Chances are your housemates are in the same boat as you and you could get on like a house on fire. Another advantage of Campus Accomodation is that the apartments are designed especially to cater for students which means that, when you do decide that its time to do a little study that a nice desk in a comfortable room can make a world of difference. Instead of a weekly or monthly rent, on-campus accomodation is paid in two lump sums, at the beginning of the first term and at Christmas, so no worrying about paying rent or bills for a whole year!
If your nervous about leaving home and you don't feel like your independent enough to live alone, lodgings or digs could be the perfect option. This means renting a room in a family house. You don't have to worry about cleaning, cooking and bill paying. The obvious downfall with this is you have to respect the family your living with and that means a recital of your favourite Kanye West song will not be welcomed at three in the morning.
Everybody has different needs when it comes to living space. Some people might like to share a room with somebody whereas others just need their own personal space. The obvious advantage of sharing is that the rent will be cheaper but you must make sure your roomie has the same ideas as you or you could land yourself in a lot of trouble! Same goes if your planing on studying and keeping a low profile for a year and your housemated aren't, don't share with complete party animals who will be playing music in the living room until 5am!
Before you move in, the Landlord will most likely ask you for a deposit. This is usually a months rent in advance. Many students find that when it comes to asking for their deposit back, the landlord charges them for damage already done to the flat. Make sure that the landlord gives you a list of what's in the flat and anything that needs to be repaired BEFORE you move in. This way if anything goes missing or gets broken, scamming landlords can't place the blame on you for something you didn't do. Always ask for a receipt of the rent you pay and keep a personal rent book.
Even if you wouldn't give Gordon Ramsay a run for his money in the kitchen, check out the different cooking facilities available in the house. Things that you might take for granted at home such as a grill, sandwich toaster and a microwave can make dinner a lot easier on those cold, winter nights!
Living the student life is not cheap and before long you will have the burden of bills creeping up on you. The bills usually consist of electricity, gas and oil and refuse. So to prevent the ESB man knocking on your front door, get your bills sorted out early. Find out if bills will be in your name or the landlords. If the landlord receives the bill make sure you see it to know exactly what you're paying. If it's your flatmates who receive the bills, make sure it's not just your name on the bill.
If your not happy with where you are living, remember you don't have to stay there. Give your landlord plenty of notice and find a new place.
For more information on finding accomodation contact the college you've applied to or the relevant Students Union (www.usi.ie).

Although storytelling has become quite the buzzword, do you understand how it fits into your narrative?
At first glance, you might think they are the same, but they are not, according to John Hagel. He gave a talk at the recent SXSW conference on "Moving from Story to Narrative."
Hagel characterizes stories as having a clear beginning, middle, and end. Stories are tightly circumscribed with a defined "us" and an "other." They are good for creating emotion and can be powerful. Stories are for others to witness and are mainly about the storyteller.
Narratives, on the other hand, are open-ended, don't have a resolution, and are in the process of unfolding. The open-ended nature of narratives invites others to participate in order to help create the ending together. The power of a narrative is in its invitation to others join in the journey. Narratives can tie together seemingly disparate stories, the way a novel ties together the chapters of a book.
Narratives ask what we can accomplish and how can we connect to one another to accomplish our goal. They shift our focus to the long term and give us something to hold onto on our path to our goal. Narratives invite participants to demonstrate leadership and use their imagination as we work together to create a path to our shared destination.
Tapping into your organization's narrative is your means of getting your audience invested and involved in your cause. Talking about your narrative shines a light on the many access points by which your audience can get involved as volunteers, donors, or board members. Create a well-defined narrative that strikes an emotional chord and empowers your supporters to take action on behalf of your shared cause.
Narratives lend themselves to transmedia storytelling, so use different tools like video and photography. Keep your narrative in mind as you create your digital stories — think about what ties your content to what you're already communicating about your narrative.
Remember that if you really want to embrace your narrative, then you need to embrace collaboration. True collaboration means allowing your supporters to use their own tools and methods to add to your organization's narrative. Create an environment where you and supporters learn together; you can start by sharing TechSoup's Digital Storytelling tips and tools. And then create and submit your own short video (up to 90 seconds) or five-image slide show to TechSoup's 2013 Digital Storytelling Challenge by April 30 to win prizes!
As Hagel noted in closing, powerful movements have been made and shaped by narratives. So define your narrative and empower your fellow changemakers to create stories that chart your collective impact and organizational goals.

Florida bowhunters will have an opportunity to attend a National Bowhunter Education Foundation certified bowhunter education course in Duval or Alachua County in August.
The course will be conducted using the new online, distance-learning format. A bowhunting enthusiast may now access the program on the NBEF website, enter through the Florida portal and complete the online classroom topics before attending a shortened, interactive field day. The Florida course is found at http://www.bowhunter-ed.com/florida.
The course is offered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Hunter Safety Section and the Florida Bowhunters Council.
"While these courses do not satisfy the hunter education requirements for Florida, they are educational, informative and well worth taking," said Steve Robbins, FWC Hunter Safety coordinator in Lake City.
Participants must bring their own equipment, including bow and field-tipped arrows. Students should register for the course they choose by calling the FWC's North Central Regional Office at 386-754-1654 or by visiting MyFWC.com/Bowhunt. Students of all ages may participate.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is offering a free traditional hunter safety course for Lafayette County Aug. 20 and 21 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days in Mayo.
The specific locations for this class will be given to those who register in advance. Those interested in attending a course can register online and obtain information about future hunter safety classes at MyFWC.com/HunterSafety or by calling the FWC's regional office in Lake City at 386-758-0525.

Over 2 million Americans are estimated to be dependent on opioids (including prescription painkillers and heroin), which killed more than 33,000 people in 2015, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Now data released at the AAP 2017 National Conference suggests that the opioid epidemic among children and adolescents is worsening. This is driven partly by the substantial rise in the use of opioid painkillers in hospitals, but an alarming number of young people already have an addiction. Worryingly, researchers warn that this may just be the tip of the iceberg.
Common surgeries may be leading to prescription opioid abuse in adolescents
Researchers from the Michigan Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network examined data from almost 90,000 privately insured young Americans (aged 13 to 21 years), without any history of opioid addiction, to identify how many adolescents were using opioid painkillers between three and six months after common surgeries.
The results showed that around 5% of adolescents fill an additional opioid prescription three to six months after surgery compared to just 0.1% of age-matched controls.
"This is the first study to show that long-term opioid use may be a significant problem for adolescents and young adults who have surgery", said co-author Calista Harbaugh, a general surgery resident at the University of Michigan Medical School, MI.
The highest risk factors were patient characteristics, that particularly included older age with chronic conditions, depression, anxiety, and prior substance abuse.
"There are no specific guidelines on how much opioid to give kids after surgery," Dr Harbaugh told Doximity. Studies show that there is wide variation in the amount of opioids prescribed. "So we need to have evidence-based best practices for providers to help them understand how much to give, and so that patients know what to do with their medication at home," she added.
Adverse reactions to opioid painkillers on the rise
A second study looked at hospital records of children (aged one month to 17 years) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database between 2003 and 2012.
"We found opioid-related problems were relatively common in hospitalized children," said co-author Jessica Barreto, a pediatric resident at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami. Over the nine years, for every 10,000 discharges, 16.6 children experienced adverse reactions to opioid painkillers. And it's on the rise. In 2003, it was 13.3 per 10,000, and by 2012, it had risen to 20.8.
Adverse effects included opioid withdrawal, which affected 3.1 % of the hospitalized children, constipation (12.5%), altered mental status (10.5%), urinary retention (2.3%), cardiac arrest (1%), and anaphylaxis (0.75%).
"For the past two decades, doctors have been increasingly recognizing and treating pain in children. Unfortunately, the efforts to improve pain management in children have led to a significant rise in the use of opioids both within hospitals as well as in the outpatient setting," said Dr Barreto.
Another study looked at data from the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample between 2008 and 2013 to gauge the number of children who test positive for opioid abuse.
Analysis revealed that the number of patients 21 and younger that tested positive for opioids rose from 32,235 in 2008 to 49,626 in 2013. "In 2008, about 88 kids tested positive in the emergency department every day for opioid abuse or dependence. It was very concerning to see that by the last year of our study, an average of 135 children each day were testing positive," said Veerajalandhar Allareddy, one of the authors and Medical Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, Iowa City, IA. "That's a big jump. In our opinion, this is a pediatric public health crisis," he added.
What the study does not define is whether these are prescription or non-prescription related cases. What's more, it only looked at young people who visited the emergency department. Young people can go to their primary care doctor, an urgent care facility, or be admitted directly into the hospital. "So it is probably just the tip of the iceberg", Dr Allareddy emphasized. "At every level we need to screen these kids at least with some basic questions, and then, if there is a concern, to test them biologically", he added.
Alternative methods of pain management
All the studies call for more research to find less-toxic, non-addictive strategies to manage chronic pain in children. The next step is to look at who is prescribing opioids (who we can target), the amount patients really need, and whether they actually need an opioid or are there are alternative pain management methods that should be used. Importantly, Dr Harbaugh asserted that, "We need to have proper communication around this issue so that we can help kids that are non-medically using opioids or are addicted."

HOW TO EXPLAIN JESUS CHRIST?
So much has been said about Jesus Christ. To this very today, theologians, apologists and believers (as well as non believers) try to define this God-Become-Man.
So often we talk about things we do not know of with absolute certainty and so often we answer all questions with the same exact conviction.
Have you ever asked yourself "What do I know about Jesus Christ?"
Certainly, we know that He Came down from Heaven for two reasons: to teach us how to live and to redeem all who lived, lives and will ever live under the sun.
We know also that He is Perfect, Being the Only Begotten Son of God, One with Him and Through Whom all things were made. We mentally know these notions as we believe what we say (or so we think) after knowing of them. But can we claim to truly know them? And How can we claim to know His Perfection?
If we suspend our current small mindedness to focus on His bodily contained Perfection as He Walked the Earth, we would know that His full Divinity and full Humanity were equally excelling in uncircumscribable degrees of spotless excellence in their composition, structure and nature. Yet, they remained locked in Mystery as the word "perfect" (only containing seven letters of the human alphabet) limits the Infinity of God's Son Whom Is God Himself. In verbally naming an already incomprehensible concept which the diminutiveness of our minds is forced to abstract, we are coerced to recognize the confinements imposed by the natural exile of mental and spiritual blindness in which we exist.
Our daring attempt at understanding the already unimaginable infinity of the Universe surely becomes far less challenging than the mere thought of Infinitely Uncorrupted Mind, Body and Soul which constituted the seen and unseen parts composing His Finite Incarnated Physical Frame.
The Mystery Revealed in Flesh, Owning full Knowledge and Understanding in His Uncreated Faculties, Was the One Through Whom the never-ending space and time were made.
The very words I'm effort-fully typing on this empty white electronic surface are, in themselves, a self humiliating failure as they can only emphasize the very uselessness of my mind's small fruits. God's Given gift of wisdom, it Being One of the Seven Jewels Donated through the generosity of the Most Holy Spirit, finds itself constricted by the fences of our mortal reason and anthropomorphic love which, casting the shadow of our own ignorance onto this Mystery of Perfection, seals such Reality behind the veil of secrecy.
The Perfection of His Love is part of, and the same of, which my written language is narrating in this very present.
The inexhaustible and ever renewed infinite amount of such love is reduced into the approximate human perception of a poorly made rendition that only can be an irrelevantly tiny part of that Ocean of Mercy we always refer to. If we, poor mortal creatures minted by the dirt on which we live and off of which fruits we survive, condensed all the love and virtues present in the whole of humanity's hearts into one treasure chest, the result would still consist of nothing more than a drop of tasteless water into an infinite wine filled chalice.
His Justice Mirrors Its Almighty Spring's Undecipherable Majestic Intellect of Creating the Laws under which all that is, was and will always be can find its origin and its continuously sustained existence. All His Limitless and Most Noble Virtues, being clothed by spatially contained visible human flesh attributes, remain impenetrable by our exhausted and erroneous understanding abilities which –through arithmetic, language or matter– can only succeed when explaining those aspects of visible nature that science has been able to correctly theorized through analysis.
This above written thought does not even begin to scratch the surface of a ten-mile deep iceberg which silently cuts the frozen horizon behind.
This iceberg is the Mystery of Who Jesus Christ Is. There can be no words to describe what we can only say in words: PERFECTION.
This, my dear friends, could be seen as an acrobatic and baroque language exercise, but it truly dared to remind our small selves that what we ought to know of Christ Jesus is what was said of Jesus Christ and by Jesus Christ in the Books of the Gospels.
Theology, Ethnography, Apologetics or Soteriology can provide enriching intellectual notions, but it is the simplicity of the Word of God (and Its application into practice) what brings the true gift of True Knowledge, which will outshine any cognitively executed study of God's Mysteries through real wisdom.
God often Chooses the ignorant and illiterate men and women of this world as vessels to be turned into depositories of knowledge. Their lack of preestablished intellectual notions render them free to allow any possibility of God's Infinite Options to act liberally from those preconceived perceptions commonly attributed to The Creator and His Ways. God Keeps His Word as what He Does Is faithful to Himself and His Own Teachings. This is a basic and logical rule no Christian doubts about.
Within such, though, the Infinitely Creative Trinity Can often Seem to Be irrational, illogical, controversial if not almost contradictory when compared to our sophisticated human standards.
To think that the Lord and Savior of the Jews Was Born in a stinky manger during a cold night does not make much sense, does it? It should not be of much surprise if the high and all knowledgeable priests of the time did not see the Son of God in this humble person of no political power. Would you and I have believed this carpenter to be the Messiah? If He were to come today for the first time and be born in some suburban slum, would we expect Him to be welcomed with open arms by the Clergy of the Catholic Church – or of any other Church?
Abraham lied about his wife; he claimed that his wife was his sister.
Jacob lied to his father.
Isiah stripped off all his clothes and wandered around naked.
Jeremiah fastened a cattle yoke to his shoulders.
Jonah disobeyed God and then asked God to kill him.
Ezekiel was a mute. He prophesied by drawing on clay tablets.
In the examples here above (as well as myriads more) God Has Shown to us that He –and He Alone– Can Do all things. He Will Choose to Bestow certain gifts unto whoever He Desires Through His indisputable Perfect Will. Among these gifts, the one of prophecy is of crucial importance as it is always God's Protecting Warning for His children.
The End Time Prophet, Maria Divine Mercy (being no more a sinner than St. Paul or Moses who both committed murder) is God's Choice; and His Choice Is His Will, which we ask that "May Be Done" in Our Lord's Prayer every single day.
Let us put ourselves in the shoes of those Christians who witnessed a half gentile-half Jewish pharisee named Saul cruelly persecute their brothers. How could those same individuals believe a word of what he would later preach under the name of Paul and in the name of Jesus Christ? Wouldn't also those Christians claim Paul to be unworthy of the mission he was given, if not even untrustworthy since he had killed in his recent past?
In order not to commit the same mistakes many of those who came before us did, we must always meditate on the true and practical circumstances in which all that is contained in Scriptures occurred. This shall not entail only or solely a study of the social, political and cultural factors in the way we would approach a history book.
Such process would merely become a Bible study which, without dismissing its role, can only benefit a cerebral knowledge filled with rational notes, events, facts.
I appreciate your deep thought and effort in your writings. I am not myself a Christian but a Pagan, so I do have my own Faith but no Religion.
Unlike so many of non Christian denomination, I can not deny Jesus Christ, as why would I choose to deny him but not so many others such as Buddha? I can not.
Do I see him as a son of God? Not in the sense that Christians do. I do see him as a teacher though, just as Mohammed was. These were very insightful men who were caring and intelligent enough to want peace. They were brave enough to act upon their beliefs in a time where they lived in great torment and danger.
I have watched documentaries on how Nazareth, Israel was in the time of Jesus and it was a dangerous place to live and has not really changed. I feel that Jesus was a great voice of those times and has a lot to teach us, whether we are Christian or not.
I will now be completely presumptuous but I feel that he would find it an abomination to see how others have used his name, especially the Church, whom are full of inhumane actions.
His spirit may visit again and if we do not recognize him, it matters not because should we not treat everyone with the same compassion and love we would offer to Jesus and was that not the point to his teachings?
We are not here to judge or impose our beliefs onto others, just like God does not force any of His beloved creatures into a relationship with Him. Rather, I'm pleased by your honesty and kind words – even though we are not 'aligned' on some points.
As someone who is trying to follow Jesus Christ in the midst of thousands of falls and struggles, I hope and pray for the hearts of all men and women living in today's world to open up to the Truth of God's Eternal Love and Power.
It is not my own mortal words and temporal desires that shall guide my very being along this gift called LIFE, but the ones of the Most Holy Trinity alone.
It is clear that your love for Jesus is present within yourself as your heart recognizes His Great and Enveloping Mercy.
If our relationship with God ought to be the deepest of all relationships we have, then we are to strongly commit our very selves to the continuous process of loving Him, of honoring His Teachings, of obeying His Will, of accepting His Hand of Mercy and, of course, of sharing His unfailing love with our siblings in Christ. After all, this is what a marriage is: a true and full commitment to the other, no matter the ever-changing life circumstances surrounding us.
But why do we say 'I take you to be MY FAITHFUL PARTNER'? This is due to the promise of fidelity, which must never be broken. It is that sense of belonging to one another and which makes the two people ONE FLESH.
Now, imagine you had been married for two years. On a Tuesday afternoon you and a friend decide to go to a newly opened coffee-shop in town. As you enter, your heart breaks into two, the room begins to quickly spin, cold sweat drops instantly form on your forehead while your legs fail to sustain you. This when you see your beloved spouse kissing another woman at a table across from you.
I will not continue the story, at this point, but we might say that much of the pain you would go through is the mere result of jealousy. This jealousy is not intended to be interpreted in its negative connotation (as 'envy' or 'possession') but rather as the sharp spear of betrayal trespassing one's heart and causing it to break.
Isn't this why our Father in Heaven once Said 'I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God'? Then, why do so many of us fail to understand that His Jealousy is none other than His infinite love for each one of us? Do we not relate to His hurt while being betrayed by each spouse on earth?
Thank you for your reply. You also made me reflect on the way I view certain feelings and thoughts which is always a good way to grow. I think I have to agree with you on your accurate description of jealousy. I am a married woman and have been for what will be 15 years towards the end of this year. I have a totally faithful and loving husband and have to say it would devastate me to have an experience like that.
What my next thought has to be is that if God is jealous either he knows other Gods and Goddesses exist or he is saying it hurts him that humans think there are others. Of course none of us will know and any person who chooses to follow him is the one that has to have the loyalty and faith, which I can see you most definitely do and you are probably only one of 2 men that have followed what he believed with dignity and respect for others who are not the same faith.
We all think, wonder, reason, seek and doubt. These are our limits…the boundaries of separation between Heaven and Earth, the sky and the ground, blue and brown.
You said the truth when, in other words, you said that the jealousy of God is due to the worship of man-made deities. No other gods can exist because we, creatures made after His Image, resemble one another: two eyes, one heart, skin-cover, ten fingers, two legs, one tongue, one stomach, one brain and all other parts are conceived by the same mind of the the same Creator.
Do I see God? No. Not with my eyes. Not with my other senses. Not with my reason. Not with man-given knowledge.
All I can do is BELIEVE, and when we do so -by opening our hearts to Him- Love will make Himself be known to us.
When it's dark, find ten minutes to spend in a room where you can pray.
If you can play music, play some tunes that inspire you (I listen to LISA GERRARD sometimes -and Dead Can Dance-, or to LOREENA McKENNITT, or to some GREGORIAN CHANTS).
Light up one or more candles.
Then, sit in silence for a minute, or two…or three.
Then, close your eyes and recite the Our Father Prayer as if you were SLOWLY speaking in intimacy with God. Whisper it into His ear…and after each phrase, pause until you see/feel/make sure that He's reacting to you by smiling into your heart. Enjoy the experience and hug Him with your whole being. Smile at Him because He's your Dad – and what a Dad we have! Truly pause for 10/15 seconds each time because He Loves that.
We must mean what we say, but not through thinking: rather, by emptying ourselves to let the Spirit of the Lord bring the breeze of True Knowledge in love.

12 tech companies with the smallest pay gaps
Published Tue, Apr 10 20187:57 AM EDT

Equal Pay Day was initiated to shed light on a persistent problem: On average, women earn $0.78 for every dollar a man earns.
But not all companies have such a big gap. Salary comparison site Comparably has compiled a list of the dozen tech companies with the smallest pay gaps — each has a gap of less than 3 percent for men and women with similar jobs.
In alphabetical order, the 12 tech companies with the smallest pay gaps are Adobe, Apple, Comcast, eBay, Google, Intel, Intuit, PayPal, Salesforce, T-Mobile, Verizon and Workday.
To compile this list, Comparably analyzed data from tens of thousands of median salary records from male and female employees at Fortune 500 public tech companies, as well as private companies that are unicorns. In addition to the salary data, Comparably also included the satisfaction ratings of female employees, comparing their answers to survey questions, to those from their male counterparts.
This list does not address the diversity of companies' overall employee base or the breakdown of management and leadership roles.
Highest-paying jobs for women
Comparably CEO Jason Nazar, says their data has revealed smaller pay gaps at tech companies than at companies outside the industry: "There's still room for improvement at tech companies when it comes to the gender pay gap, but they're generally the best actors when it comes to the pay gap, especially for mid and senior level roles."
"Now we're seeing multiple companies coming out saying they're specifically addressing the gender gap — Google spent money to address that pay gap," says Nazar. "Companies like Salesforce are going back and reviewing salaries of men and women who have similar years' experience and making sure they don't have disparities."

In fact, eight of the 12 companies on the list drew higher scores from women than from men in response to questions about whether they believe they're paid fairly, if they're satisfied with stock/equity compensatio, and if they're satisfied with their benefits. The company on the list with the biggest gap — in women's favor — was eBay: Women ranked their compensation and benefits 8 percent better than men, followed by Intuit, whose rankings by women were 5 percent better than men, and Adobe, at 4 percent.
There are also intangible benefits to the way certain companies handle compensation. One Salesforce employee told Comparably, "They pay very fairly and are continuously benchmarking against the industry," while another said, "You don't have to beg for raise. Compensation is based on what skills and talent you bring to the table."
Nazar says the fact that these 12 companies scored so well on both salary data shared with Comparably and the qualitative surveys is in line with their reputations as companies with the best corporate cultures.
"It's not a surprise that a factor that drives happy employees is when they feel like they're being treated respectfully and honorably. A huge part of that is being paid fairly, both overall in the market and between male and female peers."
