William Johnston McGowan McEwan (20 June 1951 – 17 February 2022) was a Scottish professional football player and manager. He had a 14-year playing career in the Scottish and English professional leagues, playing for seven different clubs. McEwan then undertook a coaching career; he managed six different English league clubs, plus one club on a caretaker basis twice. McEwan was most recently the manager of Antigua Barracuda but left the post in 2011.

Early life
William Johnston McGowan McEwan was born on 20 June 1951 in Cleland, Lanarkshire.

Playing career
McEwan started his playing career as a midfielder with Scottish non-League side Pumpherston Juniors before joining Hibernian in 1969, making 60 appearances and scoring two goals for the Edinburgh club. McEwan left Hibernian in May 1973 to join Blackpool, and went on to play for Brighton & Hove Albion, Chesterfield, Mansfield Town, Peterborough United and Rotherham United whom he left in the 1982–83 season.

Managerial career
McEwan's first coaching appointment was at Sheffield United after he replaced Ian Porterfield as manager on 27 March 1986. The following season Sheffield United finished ninth in Second Division after an unspectacular season. More disappointing performances in the 1987–88 season followed, and McEwan was forced to resign before taking over as manager of Rotherham United and guided them to the Fourth Division championship in the 1988–89 season. McEwan later had a spell as manager at Darlington, but he was replaced by Alan Murray midway through his second season.

McEwan then spent nine years on the coaching team at Derby County. He was caretaker manager there twice in April to June 1995 and in January 2002, after the sackings of Roy McFarland and Colin Todd respectively. In 2003, he was sacked by the then manager John Gregory, but was restored into the post when he was found to have been unfairly dismissed. Altogether he was on the coaching staff under five managers at Derby. He left Derby on 19 October 2004, saying "I am looking for a new challenge. The time was right for me to move on".

McEwan was appointed manager of York City on 10 February 2005, where in his first full season he achieved a position of eighth in the Conference National. McEwan said that he rejected an offer from an unnamed Football League club to take over as their manager in October 2005. During October 2006, he threatened to walk out on the club if the fans were not satisfied with his efforts.

McEwan issued a public apology to York's supporters and on loan West Bromwich Albion striker Rob Elvins after the team's home defeat to Conference bottom club Tamworth on 3 February 2007. McEwan was named Conference National Manager of the Month for April 2007, but was then sacked by York on 19 November 2007.

McEwan was linked with the managerial vacancy at Mansfield Town in March 2008, and he was appointed as manager on a three-year contract on 4 July 2008. He was sacked by the club on 10 December 2008.

McEwan was appointed technical director of the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association in March 2010, and in April was made manager of Antigua Barracuda. He left this position in March 2011.

Personal life and death
McEwan was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2014. He died on 17 February 2022, at the age of 70.

€8.1 billion investment in research and innovation to create growth and jobs
The European Commission has today announced the final and biggest ever set of calls for proposals for research under its Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). In total, €8.1 billion will support projects and ideas that will boost Europe's competitiveness and tackle issues such as human health, protecting the environment and finding new solutions to growing challenges linked to urbanisation and managing waste. The funding – which is open to organisations and businesses in all EU Member States and partner countries - makes up the lion's share of the EU's proposed €10.8 billion research budget for 2013. This announcement comes just days after EU leaders emphasised the importance of research and innovation in the Compact for Growth and Jobs.
European Research, Innovation and Science Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn said: "Knowledge is the currency of the global economy. If Europe wants to continue to compete in the 21st century, we must support the research and innovation that will generate growth and jobs, now and in the future. The high level of competition for EU funding makes sure that taxpayers' money goes to the best projects that tackle issues that concern all of us."
The calls target both innovation and a range of societal challenges, building a bridge to Horizon 2020, the next funding programme for EU research from 2014-2020. In total €4.8 billion is dedicated to thematic research priorities. Industrial innovation will be supported through close-to-market activities such as piloting, demonstration, standardisation and technology transfer. Special attention will be given to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in a package worth up to €1.2 billion. Around €2.7 billion will help cement Europe's place as a world class destination for researchers, mainly through individual grants from the European Research Council (€1.75 billion), and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (€963 million) for research training and mobility.
To help spread excellent research more widely, a new "European Research Area Chairs" initiative is being prepared. A €12 million pilot call will select a total of five ERA Chairs, to be hosted by universities or other eligible research institutions in less developed regions in five different EU countries. To host an ERA Chair, institutions must demonstrate their ability to support excellence through providing the necessary facilities and complying with European Research Area principles such as open recruitment.
Most of the calls for proposals (invitations to bid for funds) will be published on 10 July, with some further specific calls to follow in the autumn.
Innovative thematic research priorities in this FP7 call include: around €155 million for "Oceans of the future", to support sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors; around €365 million for technologies that will transform urban areas into sustainable "Smart Cities and Communities"; some €147 million to combat the rise of drug-resistant bacteria; and nearly €100 million dedicated to innovative solutions for managing fresh water resources.
The calls also support the Digital Agenda's ICT research funding targets, with almost €1.5 billion going to the thematic area of information and communication technologies.
There will be around €970 million of financing for SMEs under the thematic research priorities. Other measures include an extra €150 million for guarantees to leverage €1 billion in loans for SMEs and mid-caps (slightly larger firms up to 500 employees).
The €8.1 billion announced today is expected to leverage an additional €6 billion of public and private investment in research, and estimated to increase employment by 210,000 in the short-term and generate, over a 15 year period, an additional €75 billion in growth1.
The FP7 framework programme, launched in 2007, has a total budget of €55 billion for research and innovation. It has so far supported some 19,000 projects involving over 79,000 participants (universities, research organisations and businesses) across all EU Member States, with a total EU investment so far of €25.3 billion. By 2013 it is estimated that FP7 will also have directly supported some 55,000 individual researchers' careers.
The EU's total research budget includes funds that are not included in the calls announced today. These include funding under the Euratom treaty covering nuclear energy research (€993 million), or to help support "joint technology initiatives" with industry (€751 million) or "joint programmes" set up between Member States. The total budget also includes funding for the Commission's Joint Research Centre and the Commission's contribution to the Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF), managed by the European Investment Bank Group.

You Won't Believe How Often St. John Paul II Visited the Eucharist
by ChurchPOP Editor - Sep 7, 2014
OneBillionStories.com / The Eye of the Storm with Jason Evert
In a beautiful video produced by OneBillionStories.com, Jason Evert shares what a priest who knew St. John Paul II said about his devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist:
"I asked a priest who was friends with [St. John Paul II], 'How often would he go to visit the Eucharist,' and he said, 'About 20 times a day, in and out, in and out, in and out.'"
And why did St. John Paul II visit the Eucharist so often?
"The source of the holiness of every saint has always been the same: Christ. So whether it's St. Thérèse of Lisieux, or whether Thomas Aquinas or John Paul II, they all drank from the same fountain, which is Christ."
Because Catholics believes that the Eucharist, in a mysterious by real way, is Christ himself.
Jason Evert has lots of other great insights about the Eucharist, and you can watch the full video on the OneBillionStories website.

In a bid to accurately model structural behaviour of timber buildings in fire, a number of obstacles have been identified which must be fully understood before advanced computer modelling can accurately be used to represent physical behaviour. This paper discusses the obstacles, with suggestions on how to mitigate them, incorporating the challenges of using general purpose finite element software. The paper examines modelling with ANSYS, SAFIR and ABAQUS and the individual and collective challenges related to thermal analyses of timber structures in fire conditions. It considers the effects various model parameters (thermal and structural) may have on physical interpretation of experimental data in comparison with the accuracy of numerical solutions. In detail, the study looks at the effects of 1D and 2D heat transfer analyses, finite element mesh sizes, time steps and different thermal property approaches on thermal models of timber members in fires. It further recommends how best to model these structures using the different finite element software packages.

Will gas tax cut sink transit plans? VRE moving forward with Transforming Rail in VA
Virginia Railway Express is moving forward with a plan to take on $130 million in debt next year that will be used for its contribution to the Transforming Rail in Virginia plan to expand the commuter service and construct a new Long Bridge over the Potomac River.
But some of the region's transportation leaders are concerned that a gas tax reduction promised by Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin on the campaign trail or a restructuring of the state's transportation contributions to Northern Virginia could jeopardize VRE and Northern Virginia Transportation Authority funding in the future, even as the federal infrastructure bill promises to fund future transportation projects in the coming years.

E. & J. Gallo Winery is one of the largest wine-producing companies in the world.
Fortunately, considering the amount of acreage it farms, it also takes its stewardship of the land seriously.
"As a family-owned winery, it is important to us that future generations can enjoy the natural resources we take pleasure in today," says the Gallo website.
"Our commitment to the environment started in the 1930s with co-founders Ernest and Julio Gallo. Julio Gallo introduced an innovative approach to land conservation known as the '50/50 Give Back' plan in Sonoma County. For every acre of land planted in vineyard, Julio set aside one acre of property for wildlife habitat. This is a practice we continue today.

1. Biblical Truth & Principles.
Know your Bible. It's as simple as that. It is the truth of God that will build you and your community. The charismatic experiences are an affirmation of such truths.
If the love of God heals your heart, it is the truth of God that will rebuild it. If the power of God heals your body, then it is the truth of God that will sustain it.
Oftentimes, people want to encounter truth in mystic ways during worship services when all they need to do is just pay extra close attention to Bible study.
Nothing breaks up a Holy Spirit party like disunity and dishonor.
Gossip. Slander. Judgement. Division. These are temptations during a season of revival for any Christian body. They are vessels for demonic strategies.
Do not take part in it, no matter how tempting or righteous it feels. Friends, actively protect your house. Don't just listen to others gossip, stop the gossip. Don't just watch people slander your leaders, defend your leaders. Don't be a witness to sin entering into your church community, be the accountability to deter it!
A revival that grows is a revival that progressively begins to exude the very essence of Christ. Power would never be exalted over patience and kindness. Authority would never stomp out humility.
If you want to do miracles like Jesus, you have to also embrace looking like Him. Good character is a safeguard for a Christian community.
It is possible to misuse and abuse God's grace. Whether this happens or not depends on the motives of one's heart. When revival happens, people frequently idolize the manifestations and benefits of the Holy Spirit, rather than valuing the Spirit Himself.
I have witnessed a number of seemingly fiery and gifted people who eventually walked away from the Lord because what they really wanted was to become an impressive person or to have authority over circumstances. The heart is deceptive because it can hide behind the right behaviors. Someone can be dedicated to the church and passionate in bringing people to Christ, but only the Lord knows whether it is because of a love for God or because of a love for a grandiose calling in one's life.
When the Spirit moves, there will be times when things are beyond understanding. God is a mystery that is always being unveiled. As things grow and move, you will need God-given wisdom.
The perfect picture of this is when Apostle Paul had to intervene in what was happening amongst the Corinthians. The Spirit was moving amongst the Corinthians, but their worship services were no longer becoming edifying. They were trampling over each other with their spiritual gifts. Apostle Paul gave them wisdom in order to navigate through the chaos and restore peace in their atmosphere of worship.
How do you acquire more wisdom? The Bible, prayer, and learning from experienced spiritual fathers and mothers. Some may see this as cliché, but they are cliché for a reason. These are invaluable factors into building a strong foundation for revival to grow in your midst.
I genuinely believe that sometimes the Spirit waits to answer prayers for revival in order to build perseverance in the Saints first.
Revival is awesome, but it is also a heavy weight to bear. Just as much as you experience newness in the Spirit of God, you will also experience new levels of spiritual battle. Just because you feel the favor of God in exhilarating ways, you will not necessarily feel the favor of other people.
Sometimes when someone feels a breakthrough from their depression or addictions, they unknowingly assume they are all of a sudden immune to disappointment and failure. This is never the case. If you want your revival moment to have depth and bear actual fruit in your life, you need to know how to persevere.
7. Compassion for the lost and broken.
If you desire for the move of God to expand in your life, you also need to care about others' lives.
Sometimes, we get so impressed with what God is doing in our midst that we forget to share it with those that need it around us. Love is meant to be shared. It is meant to spread. The signs and miracles of God are not meant to just uphold the name of one community or one person. It is meant to be imparted unto the needy, the neglected, and the outcast.
Even Apostle Paul, despite his stature as a supernatural man of authority, acknowledged that one should always remember the ministry to the poor (Galatians 2:10).

Nº 19 & 20 Portman Square Nº 21 Portman Square
In 1773, George III's architect, James Wyatt, was commissioned by Elizabeth, Countess of Home, to build a sophisticated 'Pavilion' designed purely for enjoyment and entertainment at N° 20 Portman Square. The Countess, aptly known as 'The Queen of Hell', was in her late 60's, twice widowed, childless and rich.
In 1775, Wyatt was sacked from the project and his competitor Robert Adam, one of the most celebrated architects of his day, was appointed to complete the interior of the house in the sumptuous Neo-Classical style. N° 20 Portman Square is acknowledged as Robert Adam's finest surviving London town house. The interior is conceived as a series of grand reception rooms, beginning with a typically austere hall, leading to one of the most breathtaking "tour de forces" in European architecture; Adam's Imperial staircase, which rises through the entire height of the house to a glass dome, revealing the sky above.
On the ground floor are the Front Parlour and Eating Room, the latter being decorated with symbolic paintings of banquets and the harvest by Zucchi, the husband of artist Angelica Kauffman. On the first floor is a series of 'Parade Rooms' featuring the Ante-room, the Music Room, the Great Drawing Room and finally, one of the most original rooms in England, the Countess's Etruscan State Bedroom, whose pagan decorations derive from the excavations of Pompeii.
In 1784 after the Countess's death, the House was left to her young nephew who was still a schoolboy. The house was subsequently let to tenants including amongst others, the French Ambassador, the Dukes of Atholl and Newcastle, as well as Earl Grey (of tea fame).
From 1932, for almost sixty years, Home House was leased to the Courtauld Institute of Art, whose director between 1947 and 1974 was the art historian, Master of the Queen's Pictures and infamous spy, Anthony Blunt. It was in his rooms, on the top floor of the House, that Philby, Burgess and Maclean mingled with academics, politicians and members of the Establishment, whilst a secret listening device was apparently concealed by MI5, in the connecting wall between N° 20 and N° 21 Portman Square.
From 1989 – 1996, Home House was vacant and included on the World Monuments Watch List of 100 most endangered sites. It was occasionally used as a film location and featured in Annie Lennox's 1992 music video 'Walking on Broken Glass'.
Rescued by Berkley Adam Ltd in 1996, Home House was meticulously restored to its former glory and opened in its current guise as a private members club in 1998.
The club was acquired in 2004 by a small group of private investors, Quintillion UK Limited who later purchased N° 21 Portman Square. The vision was to fuse of the old with the new; merging the grandeur and glamour of the existing buildings at 19 and 20, with the modernity and excitement of the newly-refurbished 21. Cutting edge design from Zaha Hadid and polished finishing and detail from Candy and Candy completed the refurbishment in early 2010. The result is an exciting and exclusive Club, rooted in the 18th Century and alive and vibrant in the 21st.
N° 21 Portman Square began in 1772 to the designs of James Wyatt; N° 21 formed part of the original north side of Portman Square. Leases were signed & work then began for different owners & continued at various paces for the next 6 years. The property was finally taken by William Lock who had previously occupied N° 41 on the south side of the Square, a house designed by James Adam (younger brother of Robert). This led to the incorrect assumption that the Adam brothers designed N° 21. Wyatt was described as being 'dilatory' (tardy) due to taking on too many projects. This led to the Countess of Home sacking him and taking on Robert Adam. Lock kept Wyatt on, which was possibly the reason that N° 21, although smaller than N° 20, took 2 years longer to complete!
William Lock was an art patron who received a generous inheritance from his father (he also had a country house; Norbury Park in Surrey). The interior of N° 21 is likely to have been designed to display his art collections. Lock ceased living at N° 21 in 1781. It was then occupied by various people with George Hanbury (1865 ~ 1892) making some major alterations including the staircase with 'GH' monogram & moving the entrance to Gloucester Place.
N° 21 as it is now known, was originally numbered N° 18 and was changed to N° 21 in 1859.
Originally purchased at Michaelmas 1772 by William Lock who commissioned the building and occupied it from 1778, having taken 6 years to complete under the eye of architect James Wyatt. Lock's residence at N° 21 came to an unfortunate end in 1780 due to financial difficulties experienced as a result of a £20,000 unpaid loan to a Mr Crockett, a London merchant who consequently committed suicide.
Succeeding occupants ranged from Lord Maynard, followed by Colonel George Clerk, to Hamilton Nisbet and family from 1788 and then Spencer Percival from 1856.
George Hanbury and family became tenants from 1864 for the rest of the 19th century, making structural changes to the building that remain today; most notably the moving of the entrance from Portman Square onto Gloucester Place and the addition of a balustrade on the first floor.
N° 21 ceased being a private house in 1929, after which the following establishments occupied the building:
1930-1952 Dutch Legation
1953-1958 Rotary International of Great Britain HQ
1964-1970 Senegalese Embassy
1970-2005 Royal Institute of British Architects drawings collection archive

Multi-Level Market… Thing?
"Hey, hun! I hope this doesn't sound too crazy, but I just was looking at your profile and you are soooo stunning! I LOVE your hair and your Instagram feed! I run my own VEGAN health and wellnesses business and I can tell you would TOTALLY be amazing at this! Our started kit is ON SALE right now for only $149! That is such a low price to pay for the opportunity of UNCAPPED income! Would you like more info? 😊"
There are only so many variations of that oh-so-common unsolicited Instagram DM: but somehow, they find them. And they never seem to give much information. It's like they want to be as vague as possible, that way you message them back with questions.
Their entire Instagrams are aesthetically streamlined with a preset of filters, and perfect. They're young, have a lot of vacation selfies posted, claim they quit their lucrative careers to sell this AMAZING product, and say they were able to retire their husbands after just one year.
Who am I speaking about? "Boss Babes."
What is a Boss Babe?
A woman who is a part of a Multi-level Marketing Company, known as an MLM: which seem to have an unbelievably bad rap on social media. An MLM always has a product line, and a specific structure where there is the person who signed you up, there's you, and then your "team" of people underneath you. The person above you makes commission off your sales, and you make commission off of your team's sales. That's where the money is: from the commission rather than the actual product. Hence all of the unsolicited messaging. They purposely remain vague and try to add brilliance with hopes for becoming rich quickly, that way they generate replies and more recruits.
There are these Boss Babes, and then there are people who despise them – with virtually no in between. Kylie "Kiki" Chanel is a YouTuber with 311,000 followers and 35 videos on her Anti-MLM playlist. With dry humor and passion, she deep dives into these Boss Babes and explains them, and what they do, to her vast audience. In the words of Kiki, "these women will do anything – and I mean ANYTHING – to sell." I didn't believe it at first, but after watching every single video on that playlist, I was convinced.
Boss Babes really do do anything to sell. Apart from cold-messaging internet strangers with the same copy-and-paste "Hey, hun!" message; they are prepared to lie to try and sell the dream of becoming a millionaire that can retire in 6 months, so they can get as many recruits as possible. They claim they are the CEO of their own company even though they are technically independent contractors, making vulnerable strangers feel hopeful about a new career opportunity. One video even showed a Zoom call of an entire Boss Babe team meeting, and the Leader said she didn't care if you were at the vet with your dying dog: you need to be scrolling on your phone making sales…to line her pockets.
The FTC reports that over 99% of people in an MLM make little to no money, or even LOSE money. A popular Vice documentary shows a former Boss Babe of the very sketchy clothing company LuLaRoe, broke and devastated after working for them. She shares her entire story and everything that happened behind-the-scenes in LuLaRoe and vulnerably states how her home is in foreclosure. She really lost everything to this company.
Most people sign up for an MLM because they are in a financial hardship. Single moms tend to be a huge target. They're told to ask friends and family, sell clothes, or even open up a credit card to pay the start-up fee to join the MLM. I've seen a video where a Boss Babe admitted to using her husband's Social Security Number and credit card to sign up for an MLM (which is, obviously, illegal.) They're manipulated into joining an "opportunity" with a 1% success rate. They join, drink the Kool-Aid, make less than minimum wage or lose money, and quit. It's a sad tale that's far too common. Are they predators, or are they victims?
If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Next time you get that "Hey, hun!" message, just delete it. If you've ever been tricked into joining an MLM, that's okay. It happens to the best of us, and there are plenty of Facebook groups for Recovering Boss Babes.

Canadian hockey broadcaster Don Cherry fired after immigrant rant
Home Financial news Canadian hockey broadcaster Don Cherry fired after immigrant rant
Via Financial Times
Growing up in Ottawa, Noha Beshir, the daughter of Muslim immigrants from Egypt, first became a fan of ice hockey at the age of 11. Later, as a hijab-wearing teen, her deep knowledge of the game became her "Canadian badge".
"When I fell in love with hockey a pleasant byproduct of this thing I was so obsessed with was it was so quintessentially Canadian," said Ms Beshir, now 37, whose Twitter handle is @HockeyHijabi. And her guide in learning to analyse plays was Don Cherry, a coach turned broadcaster known for his gaudy suits and incendiary opinions.
This week, Mr Cherry, 85, was fired for taking a swipe at immigrants who did not wear poppy pins to support military veterans. "You people that come here," he said during a hockey broadcast, "you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple of bucks for poppies".
Over his 38 years on the Hockey Night in Canada television show, Mr Cherry has regularly faced calls for his dismissal over his attacks on European and francophone players, "leftwing pinkos" and "pukes" who advocate for less fighting in hockey.
But the outrage over his "you people" diatribe was swift and fierce — unleashing a new chapter in the country's culture wars and laying bare the identity crisis in Canada's national sport at a time of sweeping demographic change.
Canada's broadcast standards body was overrun with complaints. Canada's Sikh defence minister, Harjit Sajjan, a retired lieutenant-colonel in the Canadian Armed Forces, said "our fallen would be disappointed". Jagmeet Singh, also a Sikh and leader of the left-leaning New Democratic party, posted a photo on social media of his great-grandfather who served in two world wars under the British.

"I know he's just a sports commentator," said Arunachal Subramanian, a Toronto hockey fan who immigrated from India as a child. "But he is a Canadian icon, and it's another example of leadership failing us."
Still, Mr Cherry, who refused to apologise for his statement, has no shortage of supporters. Shortly after his firing the hashtag #DonCherryForPM trended on Twitter in Canada. An online Change.org petition calling for him to be rehired gathered more than 200,000 signatures in two days. Many of the comments on the site rail against political correctness, liberals and the media.
The backlash against his dismissal has morphed into a political fight. A common refrain among right-leaning commentators was "What about Justin Trudeau's blackface photos?" — a reference to photos that appeared during the election campaign of the prime minister wearing blackface make-up. "Until we can find photos of Don Cherry wearing blackface . . . he's more fit than the incumbent to be prime minister," wrote former conservative politician Derek Fildebrandt.
"An early adopter" of the type of rightwing populism now typified by US president Donald Trump, Mr Cherry's view of the world is "rooted in a nostalgic memory of Canadian history that never really existed," said Kristi Allain, an associate professor at St Thomas University in New Brunswick.
In one of the interviews Mr Cherry gave after he was fired, he insisted his traditional view of hockey as a bloody and bare-knuckle sport bred on the nation's frozen ponds was alive and well. "In the small cities, Canada hasn't changed at all, maybe in the big cities it certainly has changed," he said.

Yet Canada's small cities and towns have changed — at least in size. Between the 2011 and 2016 census years, one-third of Canada's small urban centres experienced population declines. At the same time Canada's larger cities have become increasingly diverse amid an influx of immigrants. "If you're going to say hockey is Canada's game, at the elite level it's far from what Canada actually looks like," said Courtney Szto, an assistant professor at Queen's University in Ontario who has studied racism in hockey. Of 700 National Hockey League players in the 2017 season, she determined just 3 per cent were visible minorities or indigenous.
The pro-hockey establishment is aware it is out of step with the times and risks losing potential fans to more ethnically diverse sports such as basketball. Last year an NHL policy brief warned "hockey has a perception in some circles as being 'not for some' and 'only for others'" and said hockey's leaders needed to adapt to "the drastic demographic and cultural change that is coming".
There are some signs of change. In recent years a parallel Hockey Night in Canada broadcast has gone out in Punjabi targeting the 500,000 native speakers in Canada. Hockey camps and training programmes focused on south Asian players have also sprung up in several cities.
Lali Toor — founder of one such organisation, Apna Hockey in Edmonton, Alberta — sees Mr Cherry's firing as "a turning point" for the sport. "We're letting go of the old," he said. "If hockey doesn't adapt, how is it going to grow?"

For hockey fan Ms Beshir, the Toronto Raptors basketball team's championship run last spring opened her eyes to what an inclusive and diverse sport looks like. Complete newcomers to basketball, such as herself, were "invited to join and be part of the fun, whereas with hockey you have to prove your credentials", she said. "Even someone like me, you may never fit in."

Autism is a neurobiological or neurodevelopment situation which is profoundly variable. There are not too autism case which is the same. They have the same characteristics. The characteristics which they all have in common is known as the "Triad of Impairment".
These impairments consist of notable deficiencies beyond three developmental states:
Social interaction impairment
Communication impairment-Verbal and non-verbal
Thinking and behavioural impairments
1. Social interaction impairment
There is various kind of behaviour which describes this set of an individual with autism. They appear very calm, acting like every other people around them don't exist. They also make no eye contact or just little if at all they will do. Their face could also lack passionate display.
Another group of social interaction impaired autism are these rare ones who accept the proposal of other people. They can be made to participate in activities as submissive partners and sometimes returns eye contact with other people. There is another group called the "active but odd". These group of impaired hardly pay attention to people, no good eye contact, and could also stare for a long time.
Their handshakes could be firm and vigorous. The final sub-kind is the overly stilted and even too formal group. They use language in a way that is formal, even when it's not necessary. These group of impaired people could be extremely polite and make sure they abide by the rules of social intercommunication, but they hardly understand. Their language skills tend to mask the social deficit in them.
2. Communication impairment-Verbal and non-verbal
Autistic people do have communication deficit which differs from one degree to another. Use of speech is always a problem for them or the possibility of not been able to speak at all.
They repeat words that they hear or keep repeating phrases of words that connect to their wants. Understanding speech is also part of their deficits. Sounds of the word tend to be confusing in their brain.
The problem with sarcasm, irony and humour is in those with a well-advanced eloquent speech.
They might also have difficulties in understanding the difference between singular and plural words.
People with autism could sometimes also have notable difficulties in accentuating the sound of their voice and expressing what they speak. Their speech may sound robotic and make a slow statement.
They also tend to emphasise the tone of a particular word with force. They could be too quiet sometime or too lousy.
What is more important in this case is non-verbal communication for social communication to go smoothly. Therefore, its vital to acknowledge the fact that discussion goes beyond speech.
Autistic people understand non-verbal communication better than talking. They may as well find it difficult to interpret facial appearance or use it by themselves.
3. Thinking and Behavioural Impairments
Autistic people do have difficulty in taking part in a play or using their brain for imagination. Inability to take part in game deprive them of the ability to sense other people's feelings. Therefore, sharing others moment of joy or sorrow could be difficult.
Stereotyped and repetitive motion or movements can be noticed in autistic people. You might often see them touch, taste or smell things. They also twirl objects to their eyes for a proper look. They sometimes jump up and down while making heavy noise.
In some severe case of an upset, you may see them hit their head on the floor, wall or begin to scratch and pull their skin. All this characteristics and behaviour is a sign of apparent stiffness in their reasoning and expression.
Although, every autistic people have a deficiency in all the three triads mentioned above. They all vary depending on the nature of impairment in each person.
Its crucial for those working with autistic kids to personalise their interaction with them. Autism is a variable state with no similarity in more than a kid with some looking normal but having mental deficits.
Difficulties that may Characterise Autism
There are other deficits in addition to the triads which are often linked to autism but not known if autism is the cause. The most obvious ones are sensory combination deficit, epileptic seizure, fragile X syndrome, learning disability, tuberous sclerosis, dyslexia and Tourette syndrome. Relevant treatment of all associated condition must be well treated.
Educating Kids With Autism
Educating autistic kids is very achievable with the right support system in place. Language and speech therapy must be part of their studies, so also psychological service, occupational therapy and even special education. Although, they understand words in different ways of putting them in mainstream classrooms makes them benefits from other able kids, and other kids also benefit from sharing a class with them.
The educational and social support they receive changes as they advance in their education. Note, autistic children can be educated and make to reach their desire potentials.
The task given to them might progress slowly and difficult to understand, but with the right support, progress is inevitable.
If autism is critical and followed by notably challenging behaviour like aggression, extreme disorganisation, self-harm and language education
Psychiatric assistance should be given to kids with a severe case of aggressiveness to enhance their education program. Many Autistic people achieve greater height in education and get employment.
Individuals with autism may have education and also a large number of them can enter the workforce, sometimes independently and with fantastic success, occasionally requiring assistance from a job trainer and sometimes may call for the sheltered working place. In addition to entering the workforce many individuals with autism may live individual lives, a few may call for organised and protection, and a few will need accommodation is configurations.
Autism and the mind
Substantial research established to look into the precise nature of mental function in an individual who has autism. A lot has been heard, but there's more to be heard later on. What is known today is that there appear to be some gaps in the mental functioning of individuals with autism. With improvements in neuroimaging, it's currently feasible to examine the mind with doing an autopsy.
This makes it possible to study the way the brain functions while it's working. These imaging techniques have proven that there appears to be quite a range of brain structures connected with autism and autistic spectrum disorders. These include the cerebellum, limbic system, cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, corpus callosum, and brain stem cells.
These build-ups are responsible for cognition, emotional management motion, and regulation in addition to sensory reception. Other studies have been looking into the function of neurotransmitters like serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine.
There appears to be a hereditary factor involved with a number of those brain dysfunctions, and some study suggests that strange brain development may happen in the first three weeks old, and it is a hereditary variable which contributes to autism occurring in early youth.
What's being discovered turns other notions, like Bettelheim'sdown. Autism is no one's fault. It's a neurodevelopment disorder impacting more boys than women (4:1), taking place in approximately 3-6percent of the populace.
This creates autism less common compared to typical learning disabilities however frequent than cerebral palsy, hearing impairment and visual impairment. Translating these figures into something more eloquent it could be stated that about 1 in 500 to 1 in 150 individuals will probably be born with autism.
The consequences for all these figures are alarming since it usually means that almost every college in the nation has a kid on the spectrum with autism. And also the vast majority of those kids have yet to be diagnosed and therefore are perceived as a pejorative light from their educators, sometimes apparently strange or obstreperous and at times lazy or not able to learn.
Autism and the household
Autism is a household illness. Whenever there is one kid in the household with autism, there's a condition found that impacts every single member including people who don't reside in the same home. On getting a diagnosis of autism parents occasionally feel that a certain relief, today understanding it isn't the fault that the youngster differs.
Other folks respond with anger, despair, shame, jealousy or anger. Occasionally they get mad with all the diagnostician and refuse to trust the findings. The effect of the investigation is always best on the mommy.
The effects of dwelling with a person on the spectrum demonstrated to be more difficult in the mother than the father. The reduced paternal effect has a great deal to do with variables connected to the sex role of this guy in the traditional household: outside of the home and functioning much of this moment.
Mothers are abandoned in the vital caretaker function and confront the daily strain of rearing a kid with autism. For dads, the significant effect of autism in your household is connected to the stress it places on the mum. Statistics in the united states appear to imply that the divorce rate from families of kids with autism isn't greater compared to other homes.
This is something which hasn't yet been studied widely in different nations however one study conducted at the United Kingdom suggests that the only parent rate in households with autism is 17 per cent, compared with 10 per cent in different houses.
Various studies have proven that the psychological effect of autism in the mom can be very severe. Many mothers encounter sufficient mental distress to take drugs or psychotherapy. Another study demonstrated that 50 per cent of mothers of kids with autism screed favourably for significant emotional distress and this had been correlated with reduced levels of family service and training a child with challenging behaviour.
Another study increased this amount to 66 per cent. The psychological pressure on the mother seems to have a substantial influence on the job position. Many can't operate outside the house. For the ones that can work out the house, there's an elevated prevalence of tardiness, missed times and decrease to part-time standing.
Mothers will also be the one most likely to be held accountable for their child's behaviour by others, away from the household including teachers and neighbours. Mothers often deal differently with those anxieties than dads. Fathers tend to conceal their feelings and curb them, but the result often raises episodes of anger outburst.
Mothers often deal by discussing their issues with pals, especially other moms of kids with autism. They also venture into the situation by getting enthusiastic information and frequently understanding about autism by the teachers of the children. The effect of autism on the being isn't to be suppressed.
They understand from a young age that their sister or brother is"distinct". They will have ridiculous questions, but many often do not inquire for fear of damaging the parent's mindset. They may have a profound love of their sibling with autism, but that love is occasionally connected with bitterness and anger on account of the rise in time that the parents spend on their sibling with autism.
They will frequently fret about their potential and worry about whether they will"get" autism or whenever they pass it to their children daily. The effect isn't necessarily harmful, and many studies have proven that being the parent of a child with autism is related to increased self-confidence and social proficiency. Care-taking skills frequently improve also.
Degrees of tolerance to gap could be more significant than at the siblings of kids who don't have autism. So, what exactly do we know about the effect of autism in the household? It's a mixed bag of outcomes. Sometimes it can be catastrophic. Occasionally it can result in high levels of working abilities and a feeling of self-mastery.
A lot is dependent upon the household itself and the neighbourhood where it's embedded. A whole lot more is determined by the treatments and supports readily available, particularly the instructional interventions and supports which could be supplied. One that is certain: autism is a household condition affecting everybody.
Dangers of Vaccinations:What You Should Know Children Vaccination
August 16, 2018 Robert ChristensenBlog, Children's Health
Are you fearful of any vaccination that could cause some terrible consequences on your kids? Beware, every each of the vaccines accessible may have unwanted damaging effects. Do not be so fast to jump onto the bandwagon as it has to do with your child's health!
Reactions to getting vaccinations could be immediate or delayed. Some responses which happen immediately after being granted contain minor to severe fevers and allergic reactions to paralysis or death.
Anytime a terrible effect or response fails to happen instantly, do not be fooled. A delayed response might nonetheless be imminent. These delayed reactions could consist of epilepsy and learning disabilities to pneumonia.
You might have discovered that the vaccine risks are a result of the virus or bacterial toxins which are the part of what's assumed to make immunity to a disease. Or that the composites included with those toxins are mercury and formaldehyde, among other harmful substances.
I don't know about you, but I am not planning to inject these dreadful things in my kids in hopes that they won't catch some hideous disease.
Isn't that the function of human immune systems? With a few naturally occurring flaw, we must trust that the human body is capable of protecting itself from the disease.
So we need to ask ourselves this important question, do we need to inject poison into our body system as a preventative measure from some disorder that could be non-existent?
With the most recent flu scares, do we wish to subject our system to an untested breed of vaccine which may cause more havoc than good?
Bear in mind that doctors aren't always likely to be upfront with all the drawbacks to vaccination. Maybe because they do not need to believe they're detrimental because they intend to help and cure.
And keep in mind, doctors obtain their advice from Drug and pharmaceutical companies which guarantee the responses that parents assert from hepatitis which can't possibly associates with one another.
If you're frightened to death giving your kids vaccines, then find out how to prevent these disease risks. You've got options. Do not allow the powers-that-be to fool you into thinking you do not.
I feel that it was in 1974 or 1975 the Japanese authorities altered their policy on infant vaccination not to advocating a child be vaccinated until he was two years old. It was due to the passing of two kids following pertussis vaccination.
Not that I'd not like to treat my children when they are two years old, but the authorities should have understood the risks to modify their coverage.
Be aware that when the United States people wished to protest against vandalism from the early 1900s, it had been announced that the law to vaccinate beneath the guise of the benefit of the public" Authorities was creating, and proceeds to build, our decision for us!
So today you've got to fear to have your children taken away from the state should you refuse to vaccinate! They assert neglect. Absurd. Together with all the vaccine risks, you'd be smart to do anything is needed to get them averted.

I hadn't planned on writing another entry, but I discovered some of my old rival teams recently having players thrown out of games and their teams disqualified. They often asked my teams to join them or for me to help train their players; but I always refused, not because they were rivals, but I didn't want my players to catch their ideology. This week my son disqualified himself from a golf tournament after he realized the scorecard he signed was three strokes better and would have placed him with the leaders. While I wasn't happy he assumed the other boy had written the scores correctly, I was proud that he came forward, because no one would have known otherwise. I take that back. He would have known. And I can't help to think that the way we played soccer all those years influenced his behavior.
EA Play is available in all Xbox Game Pass markets. Recently there was a bit of an uproar when the BBC sent out a report where the reporter was attending Insomnia (A Games festival) and it seemed all he could do was make fun of the e-sports competition, wondering why 'People watch people play games'. Personally I have been called 'sad' and 'immature' by family members, as I love to watch e-sports myself, however after pointing out that they watch football and snooker competitions they almost came around to the idea but still had the opinion that games were for kids and social outcasts, and watching others play them was even worse. torgodevil This is also a challenge for esports content producers such as FACE IT, , and ESL, whose business model is to distribute content to as many outlets as possible.
3. Write down these requirements so you can reference them later. Keep track of what components the games you want to play require.

MLG streamers are encouraged to play 12 to 18 ads per hour in 90 and 180 second durations. MLG have attracted the top players to use their service which has enabled them to grow a large following on Twitter and Facebook with a combined total of 1.7 million likes and followers.

Monster Hunter has always had something of a cult following over the years, but it was the 2017 release of Monster Hunter: World that really put the franchise on the map (as evidenced by the fact that a live-action film is on the way in 2021). Much as the title suggests, this game is all about tracking down large, mythical beasts, and whether you're running solo or working with others online, your job is to bring them down. run2game But while Monster Hunter games are simple in concept, this game is about more than just spamming the attack button.

2) Upgrade the CPU Case Fan: The processor inside your gaming computer is the most sensitive and costly thing. It has the potential to get overheated every time you play resource-heavy games like CS Go. Gamers are often advised to use high-quality case fans when it comes to playing high-end games. Microsoft's game streaming service is currently in closed preview for Android smartphones and tablets. the lorenz It's not clear if the company has any plans to extend the offering to other devices. Stadia, for instance, works in Chrome and through Chromecast Ultra dongles. Microsoft has a family of Xbox consoles, of course, which cater to the living room, and a desktop operating system that runs the vast majority of PCs and laptops around the world. Not everyone has the cash for an Xbox, though, or a PC capable of running the latest games at max resolution. It will be interesting, therefore, to see if or how the company tries to plug that gap in the future.
Valve has poured considerable effort into building Dota 2's powerful client, however, and this impressive platform can sometimes help take the sting out of defeat.

Paint Project: U-Haul Volunteers Partner with Habitat for Humanity
TEMPE, Ariz. — A group of U-Haul volunteers made a difference in their community recently by dedicating their Saturday morning to improving a Tempe neighborhood home. U-Haul teamed with the Central Arizona chapter of Habitat for Humanity on Feb. 18 to bring a family's home back to life by giving the house a fresh coat of paint.
Volunteers arrived early to hear about the history of Habitat for Humanity and the impact that these events can have on a family. Volunteers were so determined to help that not even a rainy forecast would keep them away.
Prior to applying paint, tasks involved cleaning along the outside structure and setting up the painting materials. When it came time to paint, the homeowners came out to meet the team and help coat their house. Seeing the joy on the homeowners' faces kept the team energized and motivated – even as the storms arrived.
Service opportunities like this not only bring U-Haul Team Members closer together, but they reveal the impact that simple contributions can make on the lives of our neighbors. The family was very appreciative of all the hard work that was done on their behalf.
"Everything about today has been amazing," homeowner Guadalupe Lopez says. "Seeing everyone here to help make my house look pretty is more than appreciated and brings me so much joy. I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity and really utilize what has been given to me."
U-Haul volunteer days with Phoenix-area charity partners occur at least monthly and are designed to give back to the community.
"I love these volunteer events because of the teamwork," says Jennifer Staley, a workers' compensation injury counselor at U-Haul. "Not only does Habitat for Humanity help build things, but they also make things look beautiful. We all made this happen together, which I think is important."
U-Haul is constantly looking for ways to better communities across the U.S. and Canada. From investing in sustainability programs to volunteer opportunities, U-Haul is doing its share to make a positive impact.
"It's important for U-Haul to give back to the community because it is such a big company; it has a lot of people and resources to contribute to local communities in need," Staley adds.
U-Haul volunteers couldn't help but smile when they saw the house glimmer when their work was done. In this case, a fresh appearance made a world of difference.
"We all want to have something to be proud of, and Habitat for Humanity gives people the chance to take pride in their home – which is special," Habitat for Humanity team leader Blair Fairman says.
Like U-Haul, Habitat for Humanity has many committed and passionate volunteers. U-Haul Team Members were grateful to blend their talents with such a generous and caring organization. At the start of the day, U-Haul volunteers were told that serving people gives you a kick start in life. By the end of the day, that statement rang true.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that works to improve the living conditions for those in need. It improves these conditions by building or renovating homes with the help of volunteers. Finally, it works to ensure that every family has affordable housing.

Facebook's decision to introduce a new feature that would mute electoral advertisement may significantly influence presidential campaign strategies, but will fall short of controlling the numerous bots and trolls on its website, US political observers say, explaining how the company may influence elections through its new voter info campaign.
Facebook and Instagram will allow their users to "turn off" all electoral or political ads from candidates, Super PACs, and other organisations that have the "paid for by" political disclaimer on them ahead of the 2020 presidential vote.
'Facebook's New Measure Will Affect Campaign Strategies'
The tech giant announced the new feature over six months ago, specifying that it would deploy the political ads control "starting in the US early this summer, eventually expanding this preference to more locations".
"This will be hugely influential in shifting campaign strategies", suggests Rory McShane, a Republican political consultant and strategist. "Facebook is currently the most effective means of digital political campaigning by far, so digital strategists may have to shift methods".
Discussing the tech giant's apparent motivation, McShane opines that Facebook is "a private company and free to make whatever decision is best for their users".
However, Joseph Oliver Boyd-Barrett, professor emeritus at Bowling Green State University, deems that Facebook's move was prompted by mounting criticism over the company's "refusal to do anything about disinformation and propaganda in political advertising, including political communication from President Donald Trump".
"Facebook's new measure on political advertising leaves very murky the whole issue of bots and trolls and other social media shenanigans that plague today's communication space, and the extent to which Facebook has or has not managed to get all of this under control", the academic presumes.
Last week, the Joe Biden campaign accused Facebook of continuing "to amplify misinformation and let candidates pay to target and confuse voters with lies", urging the tech company to fact-check election-related material and "enforce voter suppression rules against everyone – even the president".
However, in response the tech company said that "[it] will protect political speech, even when [it] strongly disagree[s] with it", referring to Trump's executive order that obligated federal agencies to prevent social media sites from engaging in activities like fact-checking political statements. Trump's recent decision was triggered by Twitter "tagging" the president's posts with fact-checking warnings.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue See?
It appears that Facebook has found itself between a rock and a hard place: while the US president has repeatedly criticised the social media platform for "silencing conservative voices", a number of influential civil rights groups and advertisement watchdogs lambasted the company on Wednesday for quite the opposite.
Thus, the NAACP, Anti-Defamation League, and Sleeping Giants accused the tech giant of "protecting white supremacy" and "allowing false content" amid the George Floyd protests. In addition, Facebook was verbally attacked for including conservative outlets The Daily Caller and Breitbart as one of the tech giant's fact-checking partners and a "trusted source", respectively.
The aforementioned civil rights organisations called on advertisers to pull their spending on Facebook ads for July. If major promoters follow the recommendation, it may deal a substantial blow to the company, given that its annual ad revenue comprises over 98% of its total income.
Facebook's Voting Information Centre is a 'Minefield'
However, Facebook's apparent strategic shift does not mean that the tech company has washed its hands of participating in the upcoming election: on 16 June, Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook, announced that the company was creating a new Voting Information Centre with the goal of helping four million people register to vote.
Despite Facebook's apparent attempts to look impartial, the tech giant's new voting initiative "is indeed a minefield that will soon explode beneath the company", Joseph Oliver Boyd-Barrett believes.
"Why? This is due to the many opportunities a social media company has to impact election results by the selection and timing of information that it provides", the professor points out.
According to Zuckerberg, the newly-formed information centre will provide information on "how and when to vote, as well as details about voter registration, voting by mail and information about early voting".
"Overall, we expect more than 160 million people in the United States will see authoritative information on Facebook about how to vote in the general election from July through November", the Facebook CEO emphasises.
Still, Boyd-Barrett argues that "this kind of service should be ineligible to Facebook" or at least it should be placed "under the control of a broad supervisory structure that involves not just the two wings of the corporate party (i.e. Democrats and Republicans) but all facets of the political spectrum in the US".
"It could be a service jointly administered by different social media organisations subject to the supervision of the supervisory council", the professor concludes.


Knowledge management began in the private sector but has since been adopted by governments and international development agencies alike. In the mid-nineties, Stephen Denning established the Knowledge Management Program of the World Bank, which has served as the model for applying KM to international development assistance or KM4D. This chapter differentiates corporate KM from KM4D. It presents a typology and enumerates KM4D sectors and themes used by the international development assistance community in the past two and a half decades.
As a manager in the World Bank in 1996, I had been trying to communicate the idea of knowledge management and to get people to understand and to implement it. At that time in that organization, knowledge management was a strange and generally incomprehensible idea. I used the traditional methods of communicating with no success… In my desperation, I was willing to try anything and eventually I stumbled on the power of a story, such as the following: "In June 1995, a health worker in a tiny town in Zambia logged on to the website for the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta Georgia and got the answer to a question on how to treat malaria….

Auxillia Mnangagwa's ambush hospital visits
- January 3, 2018
The unannounced visits (accompanied by news cameras) by the First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa to Harare Central, Mpilo Central and United Bulawayo hospitals have generated considerable media attention and debate about the motive, usefulness, and the potential impact on health service delivery across the country.
By Fortune Nyamande & Dewa Mavhinga
A closer scrutiny of the visits is necessary to address wrong and unfortunate conclusions made in some sections of the media that laziness, arrogance and incompetence among health-care workers is the major cause of the poor services in health facilities.
We argue that lack of resources and equipment in hospitals and other health institutions is the main challenge.
Secondly, supervision of health-care workers must be carried out in a well-defined framework, with clear objectives, and by competent supervisors within the existing government supervisory and support frameworks.
Thirdly, primary accountability for health-service delivery rests with the Minister of Health and Child Care, David Parirenyatwa, who has been in the post for several years now.
Lastly, we highlight some practical examples of what goodwill ambassadors in health-care, like the First Lady, can do to bring the hidden challenges in the public health system to the attention of the policymakers without creating further animosity between the public and health-care providers.
Zimbabwe has an average of 16 doctors and 72 nurses per 100 000 people with a vacancy rate in the health sector of around 50% (Ministry of Health Information Sheet, 2010 and Zimbabwe 2009 to 2013 National Health Strategy). These figures, when read together with average salaries for Zimbabwean doctors ($500) and nurses ($350), high disease burden from HIV and Aids (HIV prevalence 13,5%), rising non-communicable diseases burden and rampant shortages of basic and essential medicines across most public hospitals, point towards a miserable state of affairs in the health sector.
The health sector allocation in the national budget has been fluctuating between 5% to 8% against a target of 15 % as set out in the Abuja declaration. In other words, our health-care budget per person is just around $100 per year!
These structural challenges in the staffing, salaries, staff retention, workload burden, ability to provide quality and timely care result in huge inefficiencies in the health-care system. There is an urgent need to address the structural challenges first, before singling out long-suffering health-care workers for blame.
Obviously, health-care workers must adhere to the provisions of the Zimbabwe Patients Charter jointly developed by the Consumer Council of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Health. The charter espouses the principles of hospitality, confidentiality, privacy, non-discrimination, choice and access to redress of patient's grievances (www.hpa.co.zw).
On the other hand, the government must provide an enabling environment for health-care workers to discharge their duties efficiently and effectively. It is all too easy, in the face of propaganda and sensationalism, to take a blinkered, parochial or insular approach that places all blame for inefficient service delivery on health-care workers.
Ambush or spot checks in health-care facilities in Zimbabwe are not a new phenomenon. The late former Health minister Herbert Ushewokunze in the early 1980s used to carry out regular unannounced hospital visits to evaluate the quality of care and services. But in this case, the visits were carried out by a legitimate responsible minister, whose authority is derived from the country's laws.
Secondly, the visits were carried out after the government had set out a deliberate orientation towards prioritising health care in the national budget, as reflected by the high health spending per capita in the same period. President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government should first set out clear priorities, and have the relevant Health minister lead in implementing urgent changes, and thereafter, carry out spot checks.
Otherwise what is the purpose of ambush checks on hospitals to denigrate health-care workers who simply do not have the much-needed resources and equipment to deliver quality health services?
Most Zimbabweans live in absolute poverty and patients frequently fail to pay for services in public health institutions.
Often, for a patient to be treated, or for surgical procedures at public health institutions, first they have to go and buy from private sources all the required equipment and medicines before they are attended to. Zimbabwe's public hospitals lack supplies as basic as stationery!
In this context, Auxilia's unannounced visits should aim to improve the health-care system. A good starting point for the First Lady, which can still be done, would be to convene, under the auspices of the Health ministry, an all stakeholders' conference, to hear out different groups, including patients, policymakers, the community, and health-care workers on the challenges they face and what can be done to improve the situation.
Parirenyatwa can provide key health documents to the First Lady, such as the National Health Strategy for Zimbabwe (2016 to 2020), developed through a participative and consultative process involving significant contributions and support from various individuals and institutions.
Parirenyatwa must utilise the highly skilled technocrats in the Health ministry to implement a more focused support and supervision strategy to health care facilities that is more objective and results-oriented, as outlined in the National Health Strategy document. An ideal support and supervision visit must aim to address, at a minimum, the following issues: in-depth review of existing health programmes, problem solving at the visited facility, referral system review, administrative systems review, community participation review, staffing issues, and information systems review.
The recent hospital visits by the First Lady lack most, if not all, of the above pillars and are being conducted by individuals without an express legal authority and technical capability to meaningfully carry them out.
Auxillia has shown some positive energy through her ambush hospital visits, what needs to happen now, is to channel that energy in ways that improve health-care services, and ensure that such visits are coordinated and supported by technical experts and are comprehensive in scope and focus.
It is unfair and unwarranted to demonise Zimbabwe's few and over-burdened health-workers who have resisted the temptation to seek greener pastures beyond our borders, and stayed on to work within a health system brought to its knees by years of ruinous economic policies.
We must all salute our unsung heroes, the health-care workers who, despite all the difficulties, and lack of resources, still do their best to work. Health-care workers must be supervised and supported objectively and with respect, as they are partners in turning around Zimbabwe's health-care system in this "new" dispensation.

While we appreciate the sacrifice by our short-staffed and ill equipped medical personnel, there is room for improvement in terms of positive attitude and better PR with patients. I guess this is one of the issues a lot of us are concerned with and what the Frist lady wanted to see for herself. If medical personnel have bad attitude towards clients even if they are fully equipped, it will make no difference.
Patriotic Zimbo@gmail
Her ambush visit will do nothing to improve service delivery in hospitals. The childrens wards at all hospitals in Zimbabwe are characterized by old metal cots whose white paint has chipped away over the years. The walls are bare. The walls in a childrens ward should be bright and sunny with animal and cartoon print or such wallpaper to motivate, cheer and brighten the recovery of these kids. The money that the government spends ferrying this first lady in heavy motorcades could cover those costs, easy. It is so pointless and wasteful.
MaMoyo
Our nurses, clerks, cashiers, tellers etc in hospitals, clinics, councils, banks, parastatals etc genearally have an attitude problem. Nyika yanga yafa veduwee
Hoko
Lets try to get to the root cause. It was because of the corrupt Mugabe. What do you expect to see on a hungry worker working without drugs, Linen, and cleaning detergents. Seeing patients dying everyday because of lack of drugs and support also will make one have bad attitude. Our Government need to improve. Mai Mnangagwa should not just visit but she should come up with solutions also.
uhmmmm
a simple question…………
is it the first lady's duty to make visits or maybe it is yet another simple way of getting allowances like we complained with the former governance?
INSTEAD OF SPYING ON PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR,WHY CAN'T THEY BUY MORE EQUIPMENTS AND IMPROVE THE HOSPITALS?
I STILL WANT TO KNOW THE DUTIES OF THE FIRST LADY IN THE GOVERNMENT.
PLEASE NEVER TAKE IT PERSONAL,I AM ONE OF THE CONCERNED ZIMBABWEANS.

The She-Crocodile is ambushing the sick and vulnerable poor and having the poor photographed in compromising positions. All for her own selfish photo album. The She Crocodile must go and kiss and mate with the Male Crocodile and not humiliate the sick and vulnerable by having their photos splashed on international media.
These patients have a right to privacy and Human Rights? Where are the so-called Lawyers for Human Rights when the rights of the poor are abused for the sake of a photo opportunity by an attention-seeking she-crocodile?
Mr speaker sir
I buy the idea of the first lady sometimes we nead a radical approach when dealing with issues.Recently i have a sister who gave birth alone whilst nurses areignoring her and she is developing some problems, this in not an issue of resources but attitude and calling for the job.Thumbs up for the first lad,however the minister should be pragmatic to revamp the health sector!
Maonazvangu
Yes most nurses need to improve their public relations even tough they are working under difficult and taxing conditions. They should be humane and show the human part of them, not to be so vulgar and intimidating to patients
Mhanduwe
I dont know if we have the health inspectorate. If we dont surely we need one. Attitude is the problem with these nurses. They got into the profession for the love of money and not for the love of the people. Surely that is what it is considering the high levels of unemployment in Zimbabwe. We have few nurses and lots of gold diggers in the profession. People who sell the scarce drugs just to make an extra dollar etc. Surely the first lady is right. Lets not just oppose for the sake of it. Even Parirenyatwa should be ashamed of the findings. He should pull up or ship out.
garikayi
Why is the respectable first lady conducting these visits without the company of the Minister of health and related ministries??? Spying for whom? We all know the root causes of the poor state of our health delivery system. Firstly, it was the idot Bob who never made an effort to improve health delivery systems. Secondly, the government's priorities are completely misplaced. You buy big cars for Chiefs and forgeting the healy delivery system and social responsibility. Thirdly, the government gave mad Bob a golden handshake instead of chanelling some of the resources to good cause….Zimbabwe haisisina any moral ethics…at all. What we need is a total change of personnel…from top echlons of government and the military, otherwise we are headed for another 2 or 3 decades of rule by people who have no clue as to how and govern and plan for a sustainable future

Dean Bell, a longtime Spertus employee, talks to us about his children opening up his world, his heavy metal days and unplugging on the Sabbath. Our Takeaway interview.
Dean Bell became CEO of the Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning & Leadership in July. He's been with the organization for 24 years, most recently as provost and vice president. His inauguration takes place in October. Bell, 51, who grew up in Pittsburgh, is also a professor of history at Spertus; his research focuses on cultural responses to natural disasters in the 15th and 16th centuries. Bell and his wife live in West Rogers Park and have four children, including two who live in Israel and one who's heading to Israel to study.
You love heavy metal music and you were a drummer in a rock band when you were growing up.
I played in three different bands all through high school and college. In high school, we played original music. In college, we played parties and did mostly covers, ranging from old Who to R.E.M. and even Elvis.
Presley. Our lead singer did a great Elvis impersonation.
I don't. I have the drums in the basement. Our 10-year-old is hankering for them to be put together. That's why they're not put together.
We're told you have an insatiable intellectual curiosity. What unusual places has that led you to?
We rent out a floor to a Unitarian Universalist seminary. I started having coffee with a professor, and before we know it we're batting around the concepts of vulnerability and resilience. It's grown into this wonderful project. We had 29 students here for an intense seminar and got a grant to develop workshops and resources to help people with interfaith religious dialogue be more effective.
Apparently your children lead you into interesting discussions.
They see the world really differently. Our 27-year-old has done a lot of traveling. She goes with a real openness and finds herself in interesting situations. She's a living example of that generation; they don't see boundaries and borders in the same sort of way. It's really inspirational.
We took a family vacation, a drive around Lake Michigan. One thing we kept asking was, "Where are the native populations and how do we engage with them? What's the history behind that?" I wouldn't have thought about that.
A friend is writing a book on demons, devils and the modern world and asked me to write an essay for it. So I'm reading about demons in the Bible, demonology and Jewish accounts of demons.
Pretty heady stuff. What do you do to come down to earth?
I'm an Orthodox Jew, and the wonderful idea of Shabbat, unplugging, grounds me more than anything else. In the Orthodox world, you work 24/6, not 24/7.
