The Harcourts Foundation and White Ribbon Australia partnership wins Community Award
By Julia Eyles on December 3, 2017
Melbourne, November 2017 – Leading real estate network Harcourts Group Australia, in partnership with White Ribbon Australia, last night took home the coveted Contribution to Community award at the 2017 Annual REA Excellence Awards.
Held by the REA Group, the awards recognise and celebrate excellence in the property and media industries.
The Harcourts Foundation, Harcourts Group Australia's charitable entity, has partnered with White Ribbon for the past five years on its annual Walk a Mile in Their Shoes nationwide walk – with Harcourts staff, family, friends and supporters "walking a mile" in women's heels to show solidarity and bring attention to the national tragedy that is violence against women.
Walk A Mile in Their Shoes founder and Harcourts Victoria CEO Sadhana Smiles, said the walk – and broader partnership with White Ribbon – represents how the group supports the communities in which each Harcourts agency lives and works in.
"Caring is bigger than one person – to really grow communities with a positive impact, we must come together. It was simple for us; real estate agents walking in heels, we knew it would generate talkability and more importantly, help us raise funds," Smiles said.
The 2016 walk raised almost $120,000, setting another White Ribbon Community Fundraising Event record with 100 percent of the funds used to help deliver the White Ribbon Breaking the Silence program in over 100 schools nationally, aimed at creating generational change in attitudes toward violence through prevention education.
"It's an honour to be recognised at this year's AREAs for our commitment to this partnership. This is an issue that affects up to one in five Australian women and through our work with White Ribbon – we know that engaging men to make women's safety a man's issue too is imperative," said Mike Green, Managing Director, Harcourts International.
"I commend White Ribbon for the incredibly important work they do every day, and I would like to thank the entire Harcourts family for supporting this each year and proving that when we come together, we can generate lasting impact."
Walk A Mile in Their Shoes is in its 5th year and has collectively raised over $395,000 for White Ribbon. Since 2013, funds have helped Breaking the Silence expand into a national program, across regions in over 150 schools, impacting 2800 teachers and 39,300 students.
The Walk a Mile in Their Shoes initiative went global earlier this year with the first international Harcourts event taking place in South Africa in March 2017.
The Harcourts Foundation is volunteer run, with 100% of all money raised given directly to recipients.

Vanderbilt's Commitment
Vanderbilt is committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and care where every community member feels supported and experiences a strong sense of belonging. As part of this commitment, university leaders are actively working to mitigate the effects of unconscious bias, along with implementing new educational opportunities for community members to meaningfully engage with this issue.
Learn more about and register for upcoming 'Disrupting Everyday Bias' workshops.>>
University Initiatives
Engaging Senior Leadership
Unconscious Bias training held with university leadership on Aug. 28, 2019.
Vanderbilt University's senior leaders came together Aug. 28 for a daylong education workshop on unconscious bias. The session, which included Interim Chancellor and Provost Susan R. Wente, deans, vice chancellors and senior staff, was conducted in support of the university's commitment to embody the values of equity, diversity and inclusion and foster a culture of respect and belonging across campus. This workshop will be followed by the Train the Trainer sessions being planned for fall 2019.
"To fulfill our commitment to foster an inclusive and equitable community, we must continue to learn, grow and challenge our own perceptions and biases. Only by doing so will we be able to truly access the power of the many diverse experiences and perspectives that comprise our great university." – Interim Chancellor and Provost Susan R. Wente
"Whether it be when we are developing hiring committees, research teams, systems or strategic decisions, we must be intentional about addressing the ways unconscious bias can compromise our success as individuals and as a community. As Vanderbilt continues to build an increasingly diverse community, we must also be just as committed to mitigating bias and creating an environment that supports, respects and includes all." – Interim Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer André L. Churchwell
Train the Trainer Sessions
In Oct. 2019, the Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and the provost's Office for Inclusive Excellence hosted an intensive, four-day unconscious bias workshop for 16 faculty and staff members, equipping them to support others in fostering a culture of care, respect, inclusion and belonging at Vanderbilt. The "train-the-trainer" program provided participants with the skill set necessary to facilitate unconscious bias trainings with groups across campus in the coming months.
Read the MyVU story on the new series of unconscious bias trainings workshops>>
The university provides unconscious bias training as part of all faculty searches. The university has also offered various faculty development workshops, including IMPACT Leadership Development Series, NCFDD (National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity) – based webinars. Additionally, the university continues to develop, facilitate and evaluate programs designed to provide all faculty members at all stages of their careers with the tools and opportunities needed to succeed and flourish at Vanderbilt.

Diversity Liaison Committee
Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer Dr. André L. Churchwell has established a new diversity liaison committee charged with helping to foster equity, diversity and inclusion within each functional area at Vanderbilt. The committee was created to support the university's efforts to build a culture of inclusion, respect and belonging across campus.
The 24-member committee is comprised of staff representatives from the Division of Administration, the Division of Communications, Donor and Alumni Relations, Government and Community Relations, the Office of Investments, Finance, Vanderbilt Athletics, the Office of the General Counsel and Information Technology.
Support, Resources and Community
The Office of Faculty Affairs prioritizes supporting faculty success by fostering an open, inclusive community and creating a culture of relevant, accessible, and comprehensive professional development, including trainings for school and department-level administrators that provide actionable strategies for continually developing welcoming and diverse academic communities.
The Center for Teaching provides a broad array of resources for faculty members related to inclusion, including how to create accessible learning environments, how to increase inclusivity in the classroom, how to teach about various identity groups, and more.
Student Center for Social Justice and Identity
The vision of the Student Center for Social Justice and Identity is to provide a comprehensive service of inclusion and cultural engagement that facilitates the creation of an institution dedicated to all forms of racial, cultural, gender, religious, ability, and sexual identity expression. The office seeks to do this by equipping the Vanderbilt community with the tools necessary to be to effective agents of social change in an increasingly diverse world.
Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center
The mission of the Black Cultural Center (BCC) is to enhance the Vanderbilt experience of Black students, faculty, and staff by providing effective programming and resources to address the academic, cultural, well being and social needs of the community.
Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Life
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Life at Vanderbilt University is a cultural center and a place of affirmation for individuals of all identities, and a resource for information and support about gender and sexuality. LGBTQI Life serves all members of the Vanderbilt community — students, faculty, staff, and alums — by creating educational, cultural, and social opportunities. The office regularly offers the P.R.I.D.E. (Pursuing Respect, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity) program, which aims to create a visible network of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) individuals and their allies by providing an avenue through which any member of the Vanderbilt Community can show their support. The training is 3 hours and happens 2-3 times per semester.
For over forty years, the Margaret Cuninggim Women's Center has been an affirming space for all members of the Vanderbilt community that acknowledges and actively resists sexism, racism, homophobia, and all forms of oppression while advocating for positive social change. The center offers a broad array of resources and educational programming.
Office of Spiritual and Religious Life
The Office of the University Chaplain and Religious Life supports the spiritual and religious growth of all Vanderbilt community members while encouraging the ongoing development of interfaith literacy and dialogue. The office works to develop spiritually thoughtful leaders equipped to positively influence a religiously pluralistic world.
Foundational Definition
Unconscious bias (or implicit bias) is often defined as prejudice or unsupported judgments in favor of or against one thing, person, or group as compared to another, in a way that is usually considered unfair. Many researchers suggest that unconscious bias occurs automatically as the brain makes quick judgments based on past experiences and background. As a result of unconscious biases, certain people benefit and other people are penalized. In contrast, deliberate prejudices are defined as conscious bias (or explicit bias). Although we all have biases, many unconscious biases tend to be exhibited toward minority groups based on factors such as class, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, nationality, religious beliefs, age, disability and more.
Combatting Unconscious Bias
Participating in workshops, seminars, on-line courses and webinars are just a few ways individuals can learn more about unconscious bias and how to combat it. Holistic training includes information about how such biases can be identified and combated by individuals, groups, organizations, and in society at large. Training should also include information about structural dynamics in society that perpetuate unconscious biases. Practical strategies will help individuals combat unconscious bias in their personal and professional lives.
Some Benefits of Combating Unconscious Biases
Benefits are numerous and can include: increased group innovations, productivity, and creativity; enhanced relationship- and community-building; and, greater inclusion, equity and appreciation for diversity.

This month in Seomra Oráiste we have been learning lots of new and exciting things. We read the story 'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell. In this story the zoo send a series of unsuitable pets which are hidden, we had great fun guessing which animal was hiding. These animals are all sent back for different reasons, except the last one, which is perfect! We made zoo animals using our handprints. Check them out!
In science we learned all about elephants. We discovered some cool facts! 'Did you know?' The largest elephant on record was an adult male African elephant. It weighed about 24,000 pounds and was 13 feet tall at the shoulder! During science we labelled all the parts of the elephant. It was great fun!
We have new groups for Daily 5 and we are all working on building stamina to become readers. We have been working on accuracy. This means making sure we are reading the words the right way. It's so important that we know our tricky words so we have been making them using letter cubes at the word work station.
This week we read the story 'Whatever Next' by Jill Murphy. In this book Baby Bear flies a rocket to the moon. We loved this story so much we created our own space scenes for art using oil and chalk pastels to make the planets really stand out! Here are some of our masterpieces!

Only one major innovative example of Christian church architecture was built in Europe during the 19th century - the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona (1883), designed in a highly decorative neo-Gothic style by Antoni Gaudi. Celebrating the Holy Family and the mysteries of the Catholic faith, this extraordinary church with its tree-like formation of vaulted structures includes five towers and twelve campaniles. Made of stone and concrete, the building is embellished in parts with ceramic tiles, pompom finials and numerous sculptures, but is still not completely finished. Gaudi himself was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and was associated with the Catalan Modernista school. Scripture Art
During the development of Christian art in the Byzantine Empire (see Byzantine art), a more abstract aesthetic replaced the naturalism previously established in Hellenistic art. This new style was hieratic, meaning its primary purpose was to convey religious meaning rather than accurately render objects and people. Realistic perspective, proportions, light and color were ignored in favor of geometric simplification of forms, reverse perspective and standardized conventions to portray individuals and events. The controversy over the use of graven images, the interpretation of the Second Commandment, and the crisis of Byzantine Iconoclasm led to a standardization of religious imagery within the Eastern Orthodoxy.

Protestantism taught a low-key, personal form of worship that focused on the direct relationship between God and man, without making a fuss about go-betweens like Popes, Bishops and other church employees. It also placed little or no importance on decorative or ceremonial aspects of religion. Because of all this, Protestant art favoured low-key moralistic depictions of ordinary day-to-day life, or simple narrative scenes from the Bible, rather than dramatic theological scenes involving the Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. Other acceptable scenes included depictions of sinners forgiven by Christ, in line with the Protestant view that salvation is only possible through the grace of God. Protestant art also tended to be smaller-scale than Catholic art, reflecting a more modest, personal approach to religion. For the same reason, book illustration and prints became more popular, while Catholic paintings and sculptures became the object of physical iconclastic attacks, as exemplified by the beeldenstorm, an episode of mob destruction which broke out in 1556. But Protestant church authorities were equally aware of the power of art to educate and influence worshippers. As a result they made maximum use of various forms of printmaking, which allowed images to be made widely available to the public at a very low cost. Christian Canvas Art
And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns. People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns. As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.
After El Greco came Francisco de Zurbaran (1598-1664), an artist strongly influenced by Spanish Quietism, who specialized in large-scale sacred paintings for Religious Orders like the Carthusians, Capuchins, Dominicans, and others. Zurburan's contemporary Jusepe Ribera (1591-1652) was a key figure in the Neapolitan School of Painting (1600-56), and an early follower of Caravaggio. Works by both these painters are famous for their visual truthfulness, bold chiaroscuro and tenebrism, which gave them great drama and intensity. See also: Christ Crucified (1632) by Diego Velazquez.

Russian art of the 19th century produced some outstanding works of Christian painting. Leading painters included: the Ukrainian Anton Losenko (1737-73), Professor of History Painting at the St Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts (see his Renaissance-inspired works Miraculous Catch and Abraham's Sacrifice); and the influential Alexander Ivanov (1806-58), whose works included The Appearance of Christ to the People (1837-57) a huge canvas which took 20 years to complete. Later in the century, several members of the Itinerants group produced some remarkable Christian paintings, characterized by a unique spiritual intensity. They included: The Last Supper (1863) by Nikolai Gay; The Raising of Jairus's Daughter (1871) by Ilya Repin; Christ in the Wilderness (1872) and Laughter ("Hail, King of the Jews!") by Ivan Kramskoy; Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery (1887) by Vasily Polenov. Christian Gifts
Belonging to the Romanticism wing of German 19th-Century art, the Nazarenes were a group of idealistic Vienna-trained painters, whose spiritual pictures recalled German medieval art and early Renaissance painting. Leading members included Friedrich Overbeck, Franz Pforr, Wilhelm von Schadow and Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. They were dubbed Nazarenes because of their biblical dress, long hair and devout way of life.
Artists were commissioned more secular genres like portraits, landscape paintings and because of the revival of Neoplatonism, subjects from classical mythology. In Catholic countries, production continued, and increased during the Counter-Reformation, but Catholic art was brought under much tighter control by the church hierarchy than had been the case before. From the 18th century the number of religious works produced by leading artists declined sharply, though important commissions were still placed, and some artists continued to produce large bodies of religious art on their own initiative.
Heavily influenced by sculpture, Gothic painters were also busy creating works of religious art, but not inside churches, where enormous stained glass windows now provided the colour and Biblical illustration that previously had been provided by murals: see, for instance, the translucent stained glass art inside Chartres Cathedral (c.1194-1250). Instead Gothic painters focused on illuminated manuscripts, such as the French Bibles Moralisees (c.1230-40), Le Somme le Roi (1290), the Manesse Codex (1310), Heures de Jeanne d'Evreux (1328), Psaltar of Bonne of Luxembourg (1349), the English Amesbury Psalter (1240), Queen Mary Psalter (1330) and the Arundel and Luttrell Psalters (1340). These are just a few of the many Books of Hours, Missals, Psalters, Apocalypses, Bibles and other illuminated gospel texts that emanated from monastic scriptoria of the period. See, in particular, works by Jean Pucelle (1290-1334). For more, see: History of Illustrated Manuscripts (600-1200). Scripture Art

As biotech booms, so do bacteria
by Saemmool Lee
Applying new tech solutions for stubborn health care challenges is big business. At the CITRIS Foundry, in-house startup accelerator of CITRIS and the Banatao Institute, about 40 percent of their current portfolio of companies are either in the health field or life sciences. The startups vary from therapeutics and medical devices to consumer health care, and one cluster is tackling antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, often called "superbugs."
"We're seeing technologies from other disciplines now being applied to health and life sciences," explains Alic Chen, CITRIS Foundry co-founder. "Along with AI and machine learning, there have been huge advancements in physical technologies such as high throughput screens, and scalable manufacturing methods." Health startups have generally faced higher costs and higher chances of failure than other startups, but Chen says that
calculation is changing.
"All the components to starting a biotech company – access to expensive capital equipment, access to cutting edge reagents, DNA synthesis and sequencing – the cost for all of these has been dropping precipitously," Chen says. "And the previous generation of
biotech startups have created the enabling technologies that are now readily available to
today's startups."
While bio startups often require bigger investment, their potential to generate high returns offers a competitive advantage. At a CITRIS-sponsored talk on "Building a Successful Bio Startup" last spring, Y Combinator president Sam Altman emphasized that investors think in terms of "return relative to risk" rather than "absolute cost in dollars." Says
Altman, "People are not afraid of big numbers if the payoff is really big as well."
It is these changing conditions that have spurred several ambitious startups to tackle previously insurmountable health challenges, namely: bacterial infections.
BioAmp Diagnostics
A pair of Berkeley postdoctoral researchers founded BioAmp Diagnostics to develop rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests to detect antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. The team's first target is urinary tract infections, the most common bacterial infection worldwide, resulting in nearly two million emergency room visits per year in the U.S. alone.
Antibiotic treatment is usually helpful in treating urinary tract infections, however, there are currently no diagnostic tools on the market to help doctors determine which antibiotic to prescribe at the point-of-care, says BioAmp Diagnostics CEO Tara deBoer. "Over- prescribing and inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics are significant factors driving the
presence of bacteria that are resistant to different drugs," she says.
Current techniques to detect antimicrobial resistance in bacteria can take up to 72 hours. BioAmp Diagnostics aims to combat the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through the development of innovative diagnostic tests.
"The core technology was developed by Tara and our research group as part of a collaborative effort," says Nicole Tarlton, co-founder and CSO. "As a company, we are now working to define the first intended use, which will be directed towards improving the treatment of urinary tract infections."
DeBoer and Tarlton has performed a research study at Highland Hospital in Oakland this past summer to validate the company's core technology as part of their postdoctoral research, deBoer in Bioengineering, and Tarlton in Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology.
Their first small-scale study was conducted with urine samples from Berkeley's University Health Services, which were predictably from younger and otherwise healthy individuals. But samples from Highland Hospital represent a much more diverse patient population to better evaluate the limits and potential of the test.
The journal ChemBioChem featured the work on the cover of the October edition. The article, "An enzyme‐mediated amplification strategy enables detection of β‐lactamase activity directly in unprocessed clinical samples for phenotypic detection of β‐lactam resistance," demonstrates the capacity of the team's unique strategy to amplify the signal of the target biomarker that confers resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics directly in patient samples.
Next, BioAmp Diagnostics aims to expand its scope into other types of antibiotic resistance mechanisms and bacterial infections, for example, infections in the bloodstream.

Another CITRIS Foundry startup, mFluiDx, aims to create the most accessible DNA point-of-care diagnostics at the world's lowest cost in small clinics. "Detecting DNA is one of the fastest and most sensitive ways to detect a disease caused by bacterial and viral infection," says Berkeley alumnus Charlie Yeh, CEO and founder of mFluiDx.
Currently, it could take days or even weeks to get the results of DNA tests, because primary care doctors need to send patient data to separate testing centers, where the most sensitive DNA test methods are in use. mFluiDx's product is designed to shorten that time to 15 minutes and reduce the cost 100 times compared to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the current highly sensitive molecular DNA test.
After an in-house pilot study on campus, Yeh traveled to Africa this fall to test the technology on malaria patients. "The results were looking very good," he says. "We got perfect matching results with all the other standard testing techniques." The team is now building a complete proof-of-concept prototype.
"I truly believe that the method we are developing can decrease cost, and this type of technology can have a huge social impact," says Yeh. "If you save time, you also save cost and improve the patient's quality of life."
Nosocom Solutions
CITRIS Foundry startup Nosocom Solutions builds products to prevent and] combat nosocomial infections, that is, infections originating in hospitals and healthcare-associated infections. About one in 25 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection on any given day in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The team has developed a device they call "DCab," which can automatically disinfect near all bacteria transmitted by lead aprons and white coats in 10-15 minutes with ultraviolet-C radiation.
Research performed at Alta Bates Medical Center in Berkeley and at UC San Diego Medical Center last December demonstrated that DCab was able to achieve 95-100 percent disinfection of bacteria on samplings of lead aprons that carried bacteria.
"People did not know the kinds of bacteria that were growing on lead aprons and white coats, which could be transmitted to patients and also affect healthcare professionals," says Naresh Sunkara, CEO and co-founder of Nosocom Solutions, also a former postdoctoral researcher at Berkeley. "So, we have to create that awareness before being able to sell the product – hence the longer path to market."
For every 100 hospitalized patients, 7 in developed countries and 10 in developing countries will acquire at least 1 healthcare-associated infection at any given time, according to the World Health Organization.
"We are creating a new market by identifying a new solution to an old problem that everyone overlooked," says Sunkara.

Global investors are bullish on India's logistics infrastructure sector, given the already existing shortages and the emerging new demand driven by e-commerce retailing, a report by Urban Land Institute and PwC said on Monday.
"With the government now also according infrastructure status to warehousing projects, there is a huge pipeline of demand for large build-to-suits because there is hardly any ready-built demand. It is one of those rare sectors where the demand side is completely outstripping supply," it added.
In terms of office space, Mumbai stands out with respect to demand for high-quality facilities. The city is also seeing a strong growth in co-working assets.
"India's rapidly growing capital markets mean demand for high-quality offices is booming in Mumbai," said John Fitzgerald, CEO of ULI Asia Pacific.
"India continues to remain one of the most attractive investment destinations in the Asia-Pacific region. With most of the other cities, near the top of the cycle in terms of rent and capital values, India still offers value creation opportunities," added Bhairav Dalal, Partner - Real Estate Tax, PwC India.
"Core investments continue to remain the favourite with a few moving towards build-to-core. Demand for buying and holding retail assets is certainly moving northwards. Logistics and co-working play continues to evolve rapidly, although some investors have expressed differential opinion over their sustainability. We foresee India to remain an important investment destination for real estate investors," he added.
Looking at the Asia-Pacific region as a whole, ongoing competition among investors to place capital is continuing to shape how investors approach the sourcing of assets, despite signs the market may now be approaching a cyclical top.
In particular, value-addition continues to be a focus, as owners look to upgrade assets by providing more flexibility, better user experience, and improvements leveraging design and technology functions. As a result, investors today say they are likely to be more site-specific, working from the ground up rather than the top down, it said.

Cambia Health Foundation Announces 10 New Sojourns Scholars to Advance Palliative Care
Elite group of physicians and nurses demonstrate strong leadership potential and commitment to expanding palliative care
The Cambia Health Foundation has announced the acceptance of 10 new physicians and nurses into the Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program, the Foundation's signature program to develop emerging palliative care leaders. With this new cohort, Cambia has now committed $7.2 million to cultivate 40 Sojourns Scholars from across the country who are working to advance palliative care.
The Sojourns Scholar program addresses a critical workforce development need and supports access to palliative care services. According to a 2016 report in the Journal of Palliative Medicine, "One-third of U.S. hospitals report no palliative care services of any kind, and access to palliative care in community settings (home, nursing home, assisted living) is limited for people who are not hospice-eligible. As a result, most people with serious illness are unlikely to receive the care they need throughout their course of illness." Addressing these issues requires leadership, and by creating the Sojourns program, the Foundation has taken an active role in shaping the future.
The Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program is an initiative designed to identify, cultivate and advance the next generation of palliative care leaders. The new cohort was chosen following a rigorous selection process centered on their commitment to advancing the field of palliative care. Each scholar receives a two-year, $180,000 grant to support research, clinical, educational or policy projects. Scholars also receive one-to-one mentoring support and leadership training.
"The Cambia Health Foundation is focused on improving the consumer experience from birth through completion of life. Palliative care is inherently person-focused, and investing in future leaders ensures that people and families facing series illness are supported," said Peggy Maguire, president and board chair, Cambia Health Foundation. "It is our hope that the seed that has been planted with these future leaders will inspire a workforce that delivers patient- and family-centered care across the entire nation."
Listed below are the 2017 Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program Grant Recipients
Valerie Cotter, Nurse Practitioner, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing: Advance care planning for primary care providers education program: Improving the quality of care for older adults with dementia

It's true! The only tough thing about buying from Sephora now is choosing what to buy! Other than that, everything is a breeze, thanks to Globe Gcash American Express Virtual Card! All you need is a little patience. After all, your goodies are crossing continents for you! But really, this is one of the easiest purchase ever!
Let me show you my timeline. I took down dates and compared it to when I use to ask my aunt to buy stuff for and send it through a courier service that ships here in the Philippines and boy am I glad I don't have to bother them anymore.
To answer a popular question, My Shopping Box delivered my package at home! I didn't have to pick it up! I wasn't home when the package arrived. I just came home and there it was! A big Sephora box waiting for me!
If you don't have money on your Gcash wallet, MSB keeps your package for free for about 5 days. After that, a minimal charge will be given for every day you keep your package with them.
A lot of my friends wondered how come MSB charged me double the weight of my actual Sephora purchase. I plan on emailing MSB about this and if they provide an explanation for this. But honestly, I wasn't that bothered with it. Since I used to pay for the same amount and much more from my former courier and the box were much smaller!
But my friends' concern were valid since we plan on doing a group purchase and we want to know how we can divide the shipping cost.
Overall, it was a great experience. I didn't ran into any problems. Everything is just with a click of a button. Globe Gcash really has outdone itself with the new GCash American Express Virtual Card. As long as we save money, we can splurge! On almost anything!
If you have other questions, let me know via comment box below. Will answer them right away.
Winners must contact me via e-mail (shensaddiction(at)gmail(dot)com) within 30 days from date of this post. Failure to contact me and collect the prize within 30 days means forfeiture of prizes and Globe will again draw winners. Winners must pick up prize at Bonifacio Global City, lunch time or after office hours.
My Sephora haul came in a few days ago too and I'm just waiting for the Gcash peeps to pick the winners. Yay!
I'm soooo happy. :) Thank you so much for this giveaway, Ms. Shen and Globe. This is an early Christmas gift for me. By the way, I already send you an email. .^_^.


An endorsement in infant/early mental health (I/ECMH) is a verifiable process that supports the development and acknowledgement of infant and early childhood professionals, within a framework that recognizes knowledge, training, and criteria for best practice standards. It is not a license or certification, but instead is an overlay onto a person's professional credentials which recognizes achievement of competence in the area of I/ECMH.
PA-AIMH has identified a core group of professionals who are in the process to become endorsed through the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) which should be completed by March 2018. Six members of this cohort are seeking Infant Mental Health Endorsement®. Additionally, PA-AIMH is one of four states who are implementing the new Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement® through the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health and MI-AIMH. There are two phases to this implementation with the first phase focused on Early Childhood Family Associate and Early Childhood Family Specialist. Two members of our implementation cohort are seeking Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement® under this phase. Phase Two should begin in late 2018. We anticipate that we will begin to accept applications for IMH Endorsement Categories and Phase One of ECMH Endorsement Categories in the summer of 2018!
We now have an updated version of the Competency Guidelines® that includes both the IMH and ECMH Endorsement® quantitative and qualitative requirements. Please email us at pa-aimh@pa-aimh.org to request your copy!
In Collaboration with the Office of Child Development and Early Learning through their Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC), Infant Family Associate and Early Childhood Family Associate (Category 1) Competencies were infused into an RFA around ECE professional development (http://www.education.pa.gov/Early%20Learning/Race%20to%20the%20Top/Pages/RFA.aspx#tab-1 ). We are awaiting public announcement of the awardees to identify any supports PA-AIMH can provide.
Increasing the number of Endorsed Professionals has been identified as a State Priority (prevention) in the PA Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (CMHSBG). PA-AIMH will be looking for ways to collaborate with state, regional, and systems partners related to this goal.


This is the last "episode" for Kraig and the gang. After this, I am taking the series to the next level. This eBook comes out on July 27th, you can pre-order it here. I have other previews of this series on here as well; one from Episode One and one from Episode Four. Please check them out and glance through the books on Amazon. These stories are all thrilling short, and cheap. I wanted readers to be able to enjoy them on a phone or tablet with ease.
Bullets were slicing through door and the walls surrounding it. The Security Agents were suppressing their target as a smaller force flanked them. Soon, they would be crashing through the walls, ceiling or windows. Kraig crawled to Tommy and Harry quickly as he was showered with drywall dust. Behind them, the glass resembled a spider web. The bullets were eating their way through the glass.
"That's thick glass," Tommy said loading a few shells into the shotgun.
"Exit plan?" Harry asked Kraig just as he reached them.
Bullets ricocheted off the floor and walls. The office seemed to shake violently as the hurricane of bullets fluttered overhead.
"The wall," Kraig stated. Neither Tommy nor Harry were sure if Kraig had uttered a suggestion or question.
"Cook it!" Harry yelled as a flashbang landed on the other side of the desk. Kraig pulled the pin and held the small explosive in his hand. He was waiting a few seconds for the fuse to burn so the grenade would blow up when it hit the wall, rather than have it roll back their way.
Kraig lobbed the baseball sized hunk of metal toward the far corner of the office. It landed near where the wall and window met. A second after the device landed it exploded, blowing a hole in the wall big enough for them to crawl through. The explosion also blew the windows out and mangled the floor.
Tommy sprinted forward and dove through the hole as Kraig and Harry fired out the door. They were trying to repel whatever attackers might be coming through the door, as well as trying to stop the machinegun fire. Kraig turned to reloaded and grab the Security Agent's last two grenades.
Harry glanced at Kraig. His eyes seemed to plead him to go, but he didn't disobey. Harry ran and dove through the hole as Kraig fired off another magazine. Thirty more rounds. he thought to himself. Kraig shook his head and pushed all thoughts out. He pulled the pin on another grenade, stood up and tossed it out the door. He jumped for the hole, firing his ACR. An explosion sounded somewhere in the central room, offering Kraig some comfort. He hit the ground, ditched the ACR and wiggled his way through the hole.

Gregg Karukas Interview Page 2
Smitty: Yes, I noticed right away that you've got some great guitar players here.
GK: Yes, and I was really lucky to grab Ricardo because he only comes up from Brazil once or twice a year. I always hope I've got a song or two for him to play on, and it worked out that he played on three or so. He's usually on a few songs on every record.
Smitty: Yes, he's a mainstay with you…that's for sure. So talk to me about one track that I found interesting…Corner Club, speaking of Ricardo.
GK: Yes, that's named after a CD called Club de Esquina, which is Milton Nascimento…kind of an all-star project with him and many other great song writer/singers from the 70's in the whole emergence of the Brazilian Opera music, it's called MPV style. They were all influenced by the Beatles, a little bit of jazz…the traditional that came out of the 60's, but with more of a song writer rock element through it as well. All of those Milton Nascimento records are really some of my favorite music of all times. So I had this nice little samba that I decided to call Corner Club dedicated to Milton, and it's a song that just wrote itself quickly. The piano part is exactly as I played it on the first or second take, and Ricardo did a fantastic solo on there. It just came together quickly.
Smitty: I'm looking at the CD liner…great design and layout.
GK: Thanks…I worked pretty hard on that…collaboration with a graphic artist and a couple of photographers and myself.
Smitty: Very nice. So talk a little about your playing the electric piano, the Fender, the B3. What's your favorite of those?
GK: It's a toss up between the acoustic piano and the Rhodes. I love the organ and mostly as a color instrument. I wouldn't consider myself a B3 player, but I just love the instrument. But when I sit down at the piano, that's when I write 80% of my songs. I might have a little groove going and just work it out like that. The songs that are more Latin and up-tempo, I usually work on those on the electric piano. It just sort of works out that way. It's fantastic to have such a great pallet of sounds and get to decide for each song what the best instrument to use. This CD is a lot of piano and I hope it comes out. I tried really hard to keep it warm and phat sounding.
Smitty: Well you accomplished that! Definitely. So this is your tenth album?
GK: Yes, my tenth solo record.
Smitty: Wow…ten is the charm! But you've recorded with a lot of great players and traveled and collaborated in so many different ways. What are some of your favorite collaborations?
GK: It's hard to single something out.
Smitty: Yes, I know.
GK: I can think of so many great recording sessions where there was really some magic there. It's usually a kind of session where there might be guys I worked with only a couple of times, but when you get in the studio, you say "man that was so cool, I'd like to work with you again." Like I'm thinking of sessions we did with Kirk Whalum when we worked on his record "For You". That was a cool thing. Ricky Peterson and I were playing keyboards and everybody playing live with Alex Al on bass and Little John Roberts.
Smitty: Oh Little John…is he a great player or what?
GK: Yes, so fluid. And Paul Jackson.
Smitty: Yes, he's a bad boy.
GK: As far as really spending time together, I would have to say playing with Eric Marienthal and Boney (James) …I played with them for like five years. When you do such a long period, it evolves over time. But we started from the beginning. In fact Boney played in my band for a few gigs before he got his Warner Brothers deal. He was doing shows with me, and then he started exploding with his first Warner Brothers record, and then just seeing the whole progression of that and the magic that happened…his sound and his vibe. With that particular band, he was mostly with the same band for a number of years. A big group of really nice guys. I was happy to be there playing music.
Smitty: You could feel that groove, no doubt.
GK: And I've certainly played in some situations where it was mostly just guys getting together to do a gig and go onto the next gig, and that's not really where I'm at so much, because when I'm playing with someone else, I really make it a point to be supportive to them. When I'm working on my solo projects, I still really love playing with other people. I don't think I'll ever be at a point where I say, "No I don't want to do anybody else's gigs." I'll always be into doing it. I just did a couple of gigs with Rick Braun and some more with him coming up. And working with Larry Carlton back in 2000 was really cool. He's always been one of my heroes musically and to get the call was really cool.
Smitty: I asked you that question because I wonder, and hopefully everyone does know, that you have quite a career. You have mixed it up with the best and you continue to handle your own solo career. Ten albums. I know you mentioned a gap in between, but these have been quality records with some great hits and I anticipate a lot of great hits with this record as well. Some very nice tunes.
GK: Well thanks. An interesting thing is to look back and think "Wow I've been doing this for a long time." I started…well I was playing original music in high school, but playing in clubs where I was playing original music…we stared back in 1975 in Washington D.C. That's 30 years. That's pretty funky to think about that.

Congenital heart disease occurs in 0.8% of newborn infants around the world. Advances in medical and surgical treatments over the past decades has led to more than 85% of these infants surviving to adulthood.1 2 Most interventions, however, have not been curative and about half of adults with congenital heart disease face the prospect of further surgery, arrhythmia, heart failure, and—if managed inappropriately—premature death. The burden of pregnancy represents a new challenge in women with congenital heart disease.
In the United Kingdom about 250 000 adults have congenital heart disease (also known as "grown up congenital heart disease (GUCH)" patients), and this number is growing.3 Half of these patients are women, most of reproductive age. After suicide, cardiac disease is now the leading cause of maternal death in the UK, with most of these casualties having had congenital heart disease.4 The medical profession should therefore be aware of the risks that women with congenital heart disease face during pregnancy so that they can be given adequate preconception counselling and optimal care during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period.5–7
Preconception counselling
Discussions about future pregnancies, family planning, and contraception should begin in adolescence to prevent accidental and potentially dangerous pregnancies in women with congenital heart disease. The impact of heart disease on childbearing potential needs to be explained clearly and sympathetically. Counselling has to address how pregnancy may affect not just the mother but also the fetus and the rest of the family (box 1). This allows women to make an informed choice whether they wish to accept the risks associated with pregnancy. The counselling should ideally be provided in a joint clinic by an obstetrician with expertise in heart disease and a cardiologist with special training in adult congenital heart disease.
