Affirmative action policies don't help women advance toward leadership in nursing, according to a cross section of nurses who participated in a survey conducted by Johnson & Johnson in partnership with IntraHealth International and the Nursing Now campaign.
60% of the 2,537 respondents — both male and female nurses from 117 countries with a range of experience — said that preferential treatment doesn't help them advance in their career.
"The results of the survey indicate that affirmative action policies either do not play a role in advancement of nursing leadership or are not perceived as helpful," said Mei Li, director of health insights at Johnson & Johnson Global Community Impact.
In the global health sector, women make up more than 70% of the workforce, yet only 25% are in leadership positions.
"One interviewee even pointed out that affirmative action policies to help women get into leadership roles could actually undermine women's efforts," Li said.
This is just one of the findings the "Investing in the power of nurse leadership: What will it take?" report released at this week's Women Deliver conference, reveals in terms of barriers at work in nursing leadership and the role gender plays.
"To policymakers, definitely look at policies that address gender equity and make sure there's career projection for nurses in the global workforce."
— Mei Li, director of health insights, Johnson & Johnson Global Community Impact
Sitting down with Devex, Li shared a few more of the key findings, explained why nurses are critical to global health progress, and how to prioritize them to tackle the global health workforce shortages.
This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
How does Johnson & Johnson see the role of nurses within the global health workforce?
Nurse leadership report key findings
1. Societal and cultural perceptions about specific roles of women and men are a barrier to women's leadership.
2. The "glass ceiling" and "glass escalator" effects co-exist in nursing.
3. Female nurses have to juggle paid work and unpaid care.
4. Nurses perceive limited decision-making authority regardless of gender.
5. A lack of self-confidence is a barrier to assuming leadership positions.
6. Facilitators to success in women's leadership include family and spousal support, leadership training, access to networks and mentorship.
The role of nurses is critical and the backbone of primary care. I believe now with unprecedented advocacy for universal health coverage, the role of nurses is huge and cannot be understated. We all know that prevention is better than treatment — both in terms of economics and a person's well-being — and this positions nurses to lead our efforts as a nurse's primary role is prevention and early treatment.
When someone gets sick, if they have access to a nurse, they don't have to wait until late in the game to start treatment. Nurses are there from the beginning to support patients and, ideally, engage along the way to prevent future illness. They work throughout the life cycle of health care, from when a person is born to when a person is dying. Nurses are at the center of health care.
But for many, access to a nurse is getting more and more challenging. There is a projected shortage of 18 million health workers by 2030, and 9 million of them will be nurses and midwives. Some of the aspects that contribute to that shortage include work safety, decent jobs, appropriate compensation, and career development.
These limitations are all well-known aspects of the health workforce, but for nurses, these barriers significantly contribute to that shortage. If we want to address the shortage, we have to look at these domains to make a real difference.
And what can you tell us about the key findings of your report?
The findings are bucketed in terms of barriers and what works to overcome challenges, such as culture mechanisms, gender segregation of job tasks, and how professional and family life affect nursing leadership and decision-making.
One thing we have found is that respondents feel they have to work extra hard to prove themselves; they're competent but they feel they have to prove that to get credibility. One interviewee pointed out that competence and credibility are not necessarily gained by education and that they had to articulate how nursing contributes to health care overall — so articulate not only demonstrate.
In terms of actions, we hear loud and clear from the nurses that they need more resources and equipment so they can do better in their jobs and make a difference. Leadership training is one area where most nurses say they would like to receive support, specifically training on being able to speak up in settings where doctors are the leaders in the room and how to articulate their ideas.

With these two examples, both are actionable things that we can do right away. But we also found that there are more complex issues that we really have to tackle as a community.
What are those more complex issues that really need to be addressed?
A complex challenge that communities have to tackle is double discrimination within nursing. Nursing is predominantly seen as a female profession and so there is the gender challenge, but on top of that you have cultural biases associated with nursing — it's perceived as feminine. These are the cultural, gender challenges we need to address.
We had respondents from different regions that showed us different regional, cultural dynamics whereas respondents from Latin America, the Middle East, and even Alaska said things unconsciously like, "that is a male nurse's job." A male nurse working in the mental health department said that people automatically assume certain tasks are his. That's a challenge we face in terms of how gender segregates the task.
Lastly, there's the professional-family, or work-life, balance part and this could be addressed with public awareness raising. Nurses say that when their families help out at home, they are able to advance more at work.
What is Johnson & Johnson doing to tackle some of these challenges?
Report recommendations
1. Change the perception of the nursing profession as a "soft science."
2. Address occupational sex segregation and eliminate the perception of nursing as "women's work."
3. Eliminate employer discrimination on the basis of gender or child-bearing status.
4. Build nurses' self-confidence to assume leadership positions.
5. Ensure workplace environments are safe and responsive to work/life balance.
6. Ensure opportunities for nurses to access funding for further development.
7. Foster increased access to professional networks and mentoring schemes for nurses.
We try to change public perception and also have programmatic actions directly targeting nurses and midwives and leadership skills specifically. For example, our nursing campaign focused here in the U.S. for the past 25 years has worked to change the public perception of nursing. Our campaigns seek to support nurses currently in the profession, but also young people curious about the profession but don't know how to find their way into the field.
There is also a programmatic effort in terms of building nursing leadership on things like, "how do you speak up and how do you communicate." We work with the International Confederation of Midwives on building leadership skills to equip them, particularly around, "how do you talk about policy" and "how do you talk to your ministry."
We also recently launched the Nurse Innovation Platform, a campaign focused on leveraging the insights of nurses to develop the next breakthrough innovation for patients. We just announced the first winners of our Nurse Quickfire Challenge — one is an innovative product to help breastfeeding and one is an app to help children relax during anesthesia.
We try to position nurses as doing more than just taking care of patients. That's primarily what they do but they also really take the lead in changing health care practice to better care for patients.
What can the broader global health community do to tackle this issue?
The global health community should definitely look at policies that address gender equity and make sure there's a clear career path for nurses in the global workforce.
For advocates — and we could all do more in terms of raising the profile of nursing and the profession — there's a lot that needs to be done. One thing that everybody can do right now is thank a nurse. Go on social media and tag a nurse that you know to say thank you or share how a nurse you know is changing lives. Everyone can mention a nurse that cared for them, and now is the time to do our part to raise the profile of nursing as a profession; that's something that we can all do to help.

8 ways 'American Idol' could be better than last season

8 ways 'American Idol' could be better than last season Die-hard American Idol fans got an early look at the show's 13th season at movie theaters across the country Tuesday ... Check out this story on news-leader.com: http://sgfnow.co/KiLGyD
SNL Published 11:00 p.m. CT Jan. 14, 2014 | Updated 6:45 a.m. CT Jan. 15, 2014
"American Idol" contestant Munfarid Zandi is picked up by Harry Connick Jr. during his audition in Austin, Texas. "American Idol XIII" begins with a two-night, four-hour premiere Wednesday, Jan. 15 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, Jan. 16 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.(Photo: Michael Becker, FOX)
Die-hard American Idol fans got an early look at the show's 13th season at movie theaters across the country Tuesday night. If the response of the audience coming out of the Nashville screening was any indication, the show's new producers may have fixed many of the problems that caused a precipitous drop in viewers last season.
American Idol XIII premieres Wednesday (8 p.m. ET/PT, FOX) with auditions from Boston and Austin, Texas. If the season's first episode is a sign of things to come, the new season has improved in several ways. Here's a list:
It's funny. And genuinely funny, too. Not that fake bad-contestant crap. Laughing at that stuff always feels staged at best, a little shameful and soul-deadening at worst. Surely there will still be some of those, but with a judges' trio that's witty and more than a little goofy, the show can get healthier laughs, and more of them.
Judges' chemistry. There's a scene early in Wednesday's premiere where Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. are sprawled out on a couch together, practically sitting on top of each other. By this point last season, viewers already would have expected Nikki MInaj to slit Mariah Carey's throat before she would have sat in her lap. The contestants felt that tension throughout the season. These three should make everyone's lives easier.
Lifting the veil of social-media secrecy. Idol stumbled badly in the social-media realm, trying to scrub all public traces of singers who already had thriving online audiences. That sort of nonsense gave younger viewers one more reason to tune out the show. Meanwhile, upstarts The Voice and The X Factor embraced that world and gave themselves a marketing edge. The Twitter feeds for those two shows have about 2.5 million followers each, while Idol has slightly more than a million. Idolproducers seem to finally have loosened their grip on what contestants can say before the shows. It's about time.
Bye-bye backstories. Nobody's pregnant wife is dying of cancer. Nobody has to win to save the family farm. Nobody's homeless. Or maybe they are, and Idol just decided not to tell us yet. The pre-audition segments have all but vanished from this season's first episode, and the ones that remain essentially amount to one guy having ADHD and another guy being raised by his grandparents. That's not to say there aren't some great stories being told —
Austin Percario's relationship with his stage mother
just begs for development throughout the season — but they all have a direct bearing on the audition and the way each singer relates to his or her music. In other words, more singing, more character, more personality, less ham-fisted emotional manipulation.
J-Lo > Mariah Carey +/- Nikki Minaj. This has nothing to do with their respective abilities as performers. As a judge, however, Lopez is articulate, sweet and attentive — all things Carey, who often appeared to live in her own little universe at the end of the table, was not. Even if you liked the way Carey and Minaj sniped at each other, Lopez plays straight woman to cut-ups Connick and Urban better than Carey and Minaj bickered.
You don't miss Randy Jackson at all. I have tremendous respect for Jackson as a person and a developer of talent, but he ran out of things to say about three seasons ago. Hopefully, he'll find new focus in his role as a mentor this season. Frankly, he would have just gotten in the way of this crew of judges.
Harry Connick Jr. It's hard to overstate the impact Connick could have on the quality of Idol. He's good-looking. He's really, really funny. He's maybe the most musical knowledgeable judge the show has had. And he has little patience for singers who are all flash and no substance. In the premiere episode, he rails against the "smoke and mirrors of pentatonics," the five-note scales favored by run-crazy, training-wheels divas. He's going to hold singers to a higher standard throughout the season, and he could reshape the voting habits of viewers while doing it.
Munfarid Zaidi. There's no way Zaidi — who's from Pakistan by way of Sugarland, Texas — makes it as far as the semi-finals. But he's that rarest of auditioners, the complete geek who's actually good enough to get to Hollywood. A bespectacled kid in turquoise shorts, he makes such a big deal out of singing in front of Connick (while everyone else has had eyes only for Lopez) that somehow Connick winds up promising that if Zaidi blows away the panel with his first song, he'll actually pick Zaidi up and cradle the kid in his arms while he sings a second song. It's maybe the funniest Idol audition in the show's 13 seasons, but here's the thing: Zaidi doesn't come across as a human prop, he's more like a newly introduced fourth member of a comedy improv group. If these judges can keep that level of camaraderie with the contestants once the live episodes start, it could totally upend the dynamic of this show.

Champion shearer saves a life — and knitters everywhere dream of the possibilities.
September 3, 2015, 1:17 p.m.
A very woolly sheep in Australia is feeling light on his feet after losing about 89 pounds (40.55 kilograms) of overgrown fleece.
The gigantic Merino sheep was rescued by the local Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) just outside of Canberra, Australia's capital. The organization put out a call for assistance, looking for a shearer willing to tackle the monstrous challenge.
The sheep likely wandered away from his herd and had somehow managed to survive alone in the bush, said authorities.
"It's definitely one of the biggest sheep we've ever seen," Ven Dange told AFP, suggesting that the animal was "four to five times its normal size".
Sheep-shearing champion Ian Elkins volunteered to take on the risky task, in hopes of saving the creature's life. The RSPCA said if Merino sheep are left unshorn, they can have problems going to the bathroom and can develop serious medical issues including infections, reported CNN. Van Denge estimated that the sheep "had five years of wool on him" and said "he could barely walk."
The sheep, named Chris by the person who found him, had to be sedated for the clipping. It took Elkins 42 minutes to remove the 18-inch fleece, setting an unofficial world record. The official world record for the largest single fleece ever shorn is currently held by a New Zealand sheep called Big Ben. Shearers clipped Ben's 68-pound (28.9-kilogram) fleece in January 2014.
Vets said Chris had some minor health concerns under all that wool, but nothing serious. The much-lighter sheep has a new home awaiting him that's "the perfect place for him to relax and enjoy his new fame away from the paparazzi," tweeted Van Denge.
Watch Chris lose his serious coat in this video, which is leaving knitters everywhere salivating.

Spear-phishing increasingly large concern for IT professionals
News by Max Metzger
Cloudmark's new survey shows that spear-phishing is keeping IT pros up at night.
A new survey has shown spear-phishing to be keeping IT professionals up at night. Carried out by Cloudmark, the project surveyed 300 IT professionals on their experiences with the targeted form of credential grabbing and found that spear-phishing is larger threat than one might expect. The findings are stark.
Nearly three-quarters of those interviewed feel that spear-phishing poses a significant threat to their organisation and more feel that threat is going to grow. Nearly half, 42 percent, put spear phishing within their top three security concerns.
SCMagazineUK.com spoke to CloudMark VP Matt Grant who told us that they're right to worry: "If you look at some of the largest breaches over the past 18 months whether it's Target, whether it's JP Morgan Chase, whether it's Sony... all of those started with spear-phishing emails."
It's fairly understandable too: email is still the most common form of communication for business and email addresses are extremely easy to spoof, taking only a couple of tries to successfully fake.
Phishing is the act of electronically pretending to be a trusted entity in order to elicit valuable personal details, like credit card numbers and passwords. It's one of the most common scams around and most internet users have probably found themselves confronted with a phishing scam at some point. While regular phishing scammers might deploy a million emails or pop up ads to try and ensnare their dull, slothful pretty, spear-phishers represent the far more specialised, targeted form of the scam.
An email might be sent to you from your boss, encouraging you to deposit money into a certain account or, if you work in the IT department, to give someone elevated privileges to certain important files.
Phishing scams might be easy to spot, but spear-phishing is harder. They tend to rely on deep research of the target company's structure, as well as emails tailored for maximum authenticity and sent to a precise member of staff.
Businesses do put security measures in place, given how many are scared of spear-phishing they'd be stupid not to, but they aren't always successful. Seventy-one percent have put in solutions to prevent spear-phishing attacks, most of which involve using secure email gateways (80 percent) and anti spam or anti-virus software.
Despite the countermeasures, the majority, 84 percent, have still suffered spear-phishing attacks.
The most heavily targeted are the guys in IT who, according to Angela Knox, head of engineering at CloudMark, "have the most powerful passwords and they can get into places you want to get into and resources you want to get into in the company. IT staff really are the holy grail."
Finance and sales staff are a second and third respectively for the obvious reasons. These tend to be easier nuts to crack, says Knox: "When they use sales and finance and marketing, they use softer campaigns than when they target IT staff because they know that the IT staff tend to be more wary of these things."
In nearly equal measure, those behind the spear-phishing attacks are looking for credentials, corporate information and malware deployment opportunities.
But sometimes spear-phishing scams just straight up steal money. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, scammers made off with £520 million from 7000 companies in the US between summer 2013 and 2015. Grant told SC, "These are one of the main attacks that are getting through because they don't have a malicious file, they don't have a malicious link, they don't have anything that your traditional security vendors can put into a sandbox."
Often, the scammer will assume the identity of an executive member of the company, giving the scam message the authority of the company's upper echelons. That kind of authority lends credibility to a spear-phishing email that it might not otherwise have.
Knox told SC that the scammers "use words like urgent and create some priority around it to make it seem like this has to happen right now or there's going to be some financial loss, using social engineering tactics to prey on people's goodness".
Another version of spear-phishing is called whaling, as in trying to catch 'the whales' of the targeted organisation. Once such case last year targeted a Bitcoin Brokerage. The criminals sent a series of emails under the guise of the brokerage's Chief Financial Officer to the CEO, request 5000 bitcoins, then valued at around £150 each, to be transferred into an account. It was only after those 5000 bitcoin had been transferred, and a million pounds had been lost, that the brokerage's boss smelt something fishy.
Scenarios like this are set to become more common too. A study carried out last year by cyber-security company Mimecast showed that whaling had taken a sharp upturn in the 2015, one which was likely to continue in 2016.

Home Guiding Principles
We are committed to integrating housing with the natural environment by being energy and water self-sufficient, using sustainable building materials and adhering to green building practices.
We are hyperlocal in our approach to food security. By starting small and incrementally increasing farm production, we will provide food for our Hōkūnui 'ohana, upcountry residents and island-wide Maui community.
Our goal is to be a fossil fuel-free community, using 100% renewable sources for energy.
& RESTORATION
We are committed to being responsible stewards of the land through the application of best practices in conservation and re-creating native habitat through forestry.
We seek to build trust through transparency with the local community, and are committed to being a leader in community education, employee satisfaction, cultural respect, and environmental responsibility.
Through our projects and partnerships we aim to strengthen the environmental, cultural, human and economic resources of the local Maui community.
RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE
We strive to make decisions using a non-hierarchal structure, governing by consensus with a core group of our staff.
We incorporate the following smart growth principles into our community design: equitable housing choices; preservation of open space, farmland and watershed; walkability; stakeholder engagement; strong sense of place; mixed land use.
COMMITTED TO ACCOUNTABILITY | OUR REPORT CARD
Our potable water system and farm activities are currently 100% powered by solar energy. All houses are being designed to be energy self-sufficient with solar. We run most of our farm equipment on locally produced Biodiesel and have two electric farm vehicles. Three of our existing farm trucks run on fossil fuel. As our meat processing facilities come on line we need to initially power the commercial refrigerators and freezers though the electric company while we work on a medium-term plan to offset that energy use with solar.
We are ramping up our lamb and beef programs with a goal of providing a consistent source of local meat to the community beginning in Fall 2018. Our forestry program has recently planted about 2-acres of native plants and canoe crops that will soon yield banana, sugar cane, sweet potato, taro and more for our community.
Our strongest expression of local resilience is our forestry program and our partnership with Hālau Kea'alaokamaile and the native Hawaiian community to develop a community forestry resource.
We have a conservation plan for the property with NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service). In order to preserve the watershed, conserve water and prevent runoff we have designed a system of six ponds, which capture surface water for agricultural use. One pond is complete and construction on the second will begin in July 2018. After a difficult summer of drought and subsequent overgrazing in 2017, we have been giving the pastures a rest and are now practicing non-selective rotational grazing again, while gradually increasing herd size to a sustainable level. An on-site native plant nursery and in-ground seed bank are being nurtured to provide stock for continued native forestry.
Each housing lot has a high-end and an affordable home on the property. The affordable housing is being prioritized for Hōkūnui staff and an additional farm-worker dwelling is being planned, as well. A key concept we are applying to preserve farmland is to limit the sizes of the housing lot, pooling the additional land back into farmland.
We have abandoned a hierarchical management structure, our core team meets every two weeks and important decisions are made by consensus. Departments are charged with making their own day-to-decisions. This process is challenging and time consuming, but we believe the personal and organizational work required to pioneer this structure in our company will yield the collaborative community that we want to create. As the housing community is built out and the homeowners association is formed, we will model a consensus approach to governance.
Stay tuned! We are finalizing our first housing designs with a goal to begin construction in 2018.
Hālau Kea'alaokamaile and the Hōkūnui Forestry staff have been leading the way for us in respectfully engaging with the Hawaiian community, and with conducting community education in the cultural practices, uses and care of native plants.
While we have been well intentioned, employee satisfaction has been a learning edge for us. We have had a number of key staff transition out of our organization over the last few years. The natural chaos of a visionary, ambitious start-up combined with a non-hierarchical management structure has proved challenging for some. At this mid-point of 2018, we have settled down as a harmonious core team and have taken steps to clearly define roles and responsibilities in order to become a more efficient organization. We have also undertaken communication training and have adopted practices for speaking respectfully to one another in order to avoid misunderstanding and reduce conflict.
In the area of environmental responsibility we have a mixed report card. Our forestry, water and energy programs are outstanding. Our pasture management has been challenging. During a season of abundant forage we ramped up the number of animals on the land, during the next season of drought we were overstocked and the pastures suffered. We use animals for land management and to build soil, at this stage we are slightly under stocked, but proceeding cautiously in order to strike the right balance.

Who dares to look beyond the mirror, deep into one's own inner Being, to search out the patterns that make us act and react as we do? Chances are that the fear of the unknown makes us cling to old, set (read, "stuck"!) ways of looking at life, and keeps our choices within the confines of a well-defined familiarity. Perhaps one reason we admire heroes is that they seem to have the gumption, grit and courage to go beyond their regular patterns, to be "present" in the moment to "show up" and deliver the steps of action that any given situation calls for.
But what about us? Who are you, really, when nobody's looking? It seems to me that all too often the programmed-from-birth fear of making a mistake, keeps us holding ourselves small. What if we made a new decision NOW? Go big or go home is a popular new saying. One of my teachers from my 3.5 years of training with the Institute for Spiritual Partnership in Boulder, CO used to tell us that "the number one rule of relationships is to show up." Frankly, too many of us are not even fully showing up in our bodies, in our own lives, much less our relationships with others! Scary, isn't it? Our fears and doubts on this human journey can be so crippling, and self-limiting. That is the real joy-stealer, when we give in to worries about "how it will look to others." The biggest tragedy at the end of the human adventure is all the times we do NOT listen to our inner voice, the inner guidance of Spirit, to make that move, take that new job, step out in our natural leadership or creative abilities. Playing small is not the key to get someone else to love you. First, we really have to learn to like ourselves, and the people we've become, and love that divine Spirit which is our core essence.
Let's pick up that mirror, friends; let's look boldly deep into the light within our own eyes…beyond the surface of those "windows of the soul" and acknowledge the true beauty that lies within. Beyond our surface appearance, whatever it may be, is a lifetime of lessons learned, patience gained, courage and fortitude established and proven to ourselves, time and again. When we choose to radiate that Inner Light, everyone with whom we come in contact will surely benefit. It's exciting to consider, and certainly not so boring as being stuck in those long-time ruts that make even us tire of our own company! Show up as the hero of your own story, and becoming a hero to others will naturally ensue. Their gratitude will then serve as the greatest mirror we could imagine here on Earth School.


Not everyone can wait: neither the sated nor the satisfied nor those without respect can wait. The only ones who can wait are people who carry restlessness around with them and people who look up with reverence to the greatest in the world. Thus Advent can be celebrated only by those whose souls give them no peace, who know that they are . . .
Celebrating Advent means being able to wait. Waiting is an art that our impatient age has forgotten. It wants to break open the ripe fruit when it has hardly finished planting the shoot. But all too often the greedy eyes are only deceived; the fruit that seemed so precious is still green on the inside, and disrespectful hands . . .
and shall call His name Immanuel.
and their . . .
I am not concerned about a so-called 'war' on Christmas. I am not shocked when people say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." I simply smirk when my atheist or agnostic friends sponsor grandiose Christmas celebrations with their friends and family.
None of these offenses nor a hundred . . .
"O King of the Nations..."

It can be difficult for people in Wiltshire to accept that they have become addicted to alcohol or drugs. There can be so many misconceptions about what "being addicted" involves, that it is easy for the individual to come up with reasons for how they do not fall into this category. The individual may get comfort from knowing about people who are worse off than them because of substance abuse, and they can use this as evidence that they are doing okay. The reality is that people are notoriously bad when it comes to judging their own addiction problems because of the denial involved. Even when the person becomes ready to admit that they have a problem, they will tend to downplay the severity. This is why you really need to consider the possibility that your substance abuse problems are far worse than you imagine. If you are still unsure about where you stand in relation to addiction you can call us here on 0800 140 4824, and we will be able to discuss your situation and options in Wiltshire.
· The individual has withdrawal symptoms when they try to reduce their intake of alcohol or drugs or stop. This is a sign that they have become physically addicted to these substances. Some addicted people claim to never experience withdrawal symptoms, but this may be because they never allow the levels of the drug to fall low enough in their blood stream to trigger withdrawals or because they mistake these symptoms as being due to a bad hangover.
· One of the other classic sings of addiction is increased tolerance for the substance. If people are regularly ingesting alcohol or drugs the body has to learn how to adapt, and this means that the individual develops tolerance. They will have to keep on taking an increasing amount of the substance in order to get the same effect.
· Addiction is not only made up of physical dependence but also psychological dependence. One of the signs of psychological dependence is cravings, and it is that that keeps driving the individual to use these substances even when it is obviously leading to a negative outcome.
· Another sign that the person has become psychologically dependent is that they feel unable to image life without the substance. They may be convinced that they have to take alcohol or drugs in order to be able to cope with all the things that are going wrong in their life. This means that the individual sees the substance abuse as the solution to the problems without realising that it is actually the cause of their problems.
You do have some good addiction recovery options in Wiltshire, and we will be happy to discuss these with you. Our proficient team has great expertise when it comes to addiction treatment management, and we can help you find your path away from addiction. There are many possible options when it comes to addiction recovery, and we can help you choose the ones that are most likely to work for you. Call us right away, or just text the word "help" to 66777.

Justia Dockets & Filings Ninth Circuit California Eastern District Kietty v. Walker et al Filing 113
Kietty v. Walker et al
Filing 113
ORDER DENYING 106 Plaintiff's Motion for Injunctive Relief signed by Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone on 5/5/2017. (Jessen, A)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 HUSSEIN ALI KIETTY, 12 13 14 15 16 17 Plaintiff, v. A. WALKER, et al., Defendants. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No.: 1:13-cv-00312-SAB (PC) ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF [ECF No. 106] Plaintiff Hussein Ali Kietty is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 18 pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the parties have consented to the 19 jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge. Local Rule 302. 20 21 Currently before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for an emergency permanent injunction, filed April 5, 2017. Defendants filed a response on April 21, 2017. 22 I. 23 DISCUSSION 24 A preliminary injunction should not issue unless necessary to prevent threatened injury that 25 would impair the court's ability to grant effective relief in a pending action. "A preliminary injunction 26 … is not a preliminary adjudication on the merits but rather a device for preserving the status quo and 27 preventing the irreparable loss of right before judgment." Sierra On-Line, Inc. v. Phoenix Software, 28 Inc., 739 F.2d 1415, 1422 (9th Cir. 1984). A preliminary injunction represents the exercise of a far 1 1 reaching power not to be indulged except in a case clearly warranting it. Dymo Indus. V. Tapeprinter, 2 Inc., 326 F.2d 141, 143 (9th Cir. 1964). "The proper legal standard for preliminary injunctive relief 3 requires a party to demonstrate 'that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer 4 irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and 5 that an injunction is in the public interest.'" Stormans, Inc., v. Selecky, 586 F.3d 1109, 1127 (9th Cir. 6 2009), quoting Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7 (2008). In cases brought by 7 prisoners involving conditions of confinement, any preliminary injunction "must be narrowly drawn, 8 extend no further than necessary to correct the harm the court finds requires preliminary relief, and be 9 the least intrusive means necessary to correct the harm." 18 U.S.C. § 3626(a)(2). 10 In his April 5, 2017 motion, Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction based on alleged retaliation 11 by Defendants. Plaintiff contends that a search of his cell was conducted on behalf of Defendant 12 Deathriage and others to retaliate for this action. (Mot. at 2, ECF No. 106.) More specifically, 13 Plaintiff alleges that on March 14, 2017, his cell was searched by the Institutional Security Unit who 14 confiscated his mail and photographed legal documents pertaining to this case. Plaintiff alleges his 15 cell was searched again on March 15, 2017, by non-Defendant, officer Shallenverh who stated she was 16 advised to conduct the search by her supervisor. Plaintiff attaches three inmate declarations to support 17 his contention that his cell was searched by prison officials in an effort to confiscate and/or photograph 18 his legal materials pertaining to the instant action. 19 Defendants, by way of counsel, have responded to Plaintiff's motion and submit the following: 20 On April 11, 2017, I spoke with Correctional Officer Marmaduke, from the SATF Prison Investigative Services Unit (ISU), regarding the search of Plaintiff's cell on March 14, 2017. The Officer informed me that ISU was instructed to search Plaintiff's cell by the Office of Occupational Safety, which is a division of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Specifically, ISU was asked to photograph material that relates to an outside investigation into a radicalized prison group. In compliance with orders, the Officer photographed books, Plaintiff's tattoos, and other miscellaneous records. Plaintiff was then informed that the search was due to an outside investigation and permitted to return to his cell. The Officer confirmed that no legal material was photographed, no items were confiscated, he had no knowledge of any lawsuit Plaintiff was involved in, and that no mention of a lawsuit was made by the Office of Correctional Safety when the cell search was requested. Officer Marmaduke is unaware of any search of Plaintiff's cell that occurred after March 14, 2017. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2 I also spoke to the Special Agent from the Office of Correctional Safety, Criminal Intelligence and Analysis Unit, who ordered the search of Plaintiff's cell. The Agent confirmed that the Office of Correctional Safety is conducting an investigation into the formation of a radicalized prison group, and items from Mr. Kietty's cell were photographed in furtherance of that investigation. The Agent also confirmed that, of the items photographed, none were legal material, that he was not aware of any lawsuit that Mr. Kietty was involved in, that he does not even known who Officer Deathriage is, and that Mr. Kietty is not the focus of the investigation. Other than the search he ordered on March 14, 2017, the Agent is unaware of any other search of Plaintiff's cell. 1 2 3 4 5 6 On April 14, 2017, I spoke to inmates Bradford, Stanford, and Williams, who signed declarations in support of Plaintiff's motion. All three of the inmates claimed to have seen ISU officers arrive and photograph items from the Plaintiff's cell on March 14, 2017. Though, all three of the inmates confirmed that they were not able to see whether the items that were photographed were legal material because they were too far away to read any writing on the envelopes or see what type of records were present. Therefore, all three of their declarations are inaccurate in that regard. One inmate confirmed that Plaintiff and his cellmate were placed in the shower area while the cell was being searched, and that from the shower area, Plaintiff also would not have been able to see what items were being photographed. 7 8 9 10 11 12 None of the inmates saw any items confiscated, and none of them heard any officer mention a lawsuit or Office Deathriage. To the contrary, inmates Stanford and Williams heard the officers respond to Plaintiff by telling him that they were just "following orders." All three inmates informed me that they only became aware of this lawsuit and the allegation that the search was retaliatory from Plaintiff himself. 13 14 15 16 Inmate Williams claims that he witnessed the second search of Plaintiff's cell on March 15, 2017, by a female correctional officer, and stated that this search seemed to be routine because it was conducted by the regular correctional officers, not ISU, and that the other inmates' cells were searched as well. He did not see the officers confiscate anything from Plaintiff's cell. Neither inmate Bradford nor inmate Stanford witnessed any search of Plaintiff's cell on March 15, 2017, they only heard about it afterwards from Plaintiff. Therefore, their declarations are inaccurate in that regard as well. 17 18 19 20 21 (Mot. at 2-3, ECF No. 109.) 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 /// 3 1 Based on the investigation and information provided by Defendants' counsel, the March 14, 2 2017, search was conducted for an independent investigation and Plaintiff was not the focus of such 3 investigation. Further, the inquiry by Defendants' counsel did not reveal any search on March 15, 4 2017, by the ISU. Therefore, given the inquiry and response by Defendants' counsel, there is no 5 evidence before the Court that Plaintiff's legal property was photographed or that items were 6 confiscated, and Plaintiff's motion for injunctive relief is denied. 7 8 IT IS SO ORDERED. 9 Dated: 10 May 5, 2017 UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4

The Black Rock Range is a large mountain range in northwestern Nevada. It gets its name from a distinctive black rock landform at its southern terminus that also gives name to the Black Rock Desert. The "Black Rock" long served as a marker post for emigrants and Native Americans on the desert floor. The mountain range is closely identified with the desert, especially its southern half which bisects the desert's western and eastern arms.

Will the Green New Deal Work? Here's What the Research Says
Source: Pacific Standard
The Green New Deal that some Democrats are now championing is unlike anything this country has ever done before. But scientists have been studying policies like these for decades. And their research can tell us a bit about what might happen if we pass this sweeping new vision for climate action and economic equality.
5 Things to Look for in the Green New Deal

Румыния впервые приняла участие в летних Олимпийских играх в Париже в 1900 году, на тех играх Румынию представлял всего один участник. Пропустив затем 4 летние Олимпиады, румынские спортсмены вернулись в олимпийскую семью только в 1924 году. С тех пор Румыния пропустила только две летние олимпиады: в 1932 году в Лос-Анджелесе и в 1948 году в Лондоне. На зимних Олимпийских играх румынские спортсмены дебютировали в 1928 году в Санкт-Морице и с тех пор не пропустили ни одной зимней Олимпиады, кроме Игр в Скво-Вэлли в 1960 году.

За время выступления на Олимпийских играх румынские спортсмены завоевали 307 олимпийских медалей: 89 золотых, 95 серебряных и 123 бронзовых. Практически все медали, кроме бронзы в соревнованиях по бобслею на Зимней Олимпиаде 1968 года в Гренобле (Франция), были завоёваны на летних Олимпийских играх. Больше всего медалей румыны завоевали в соревнованиях по гимнастике, академической гребле и лёгкой атлетике. Румыния по количеству завоёванных олимпийских медалей среди стран, никогда не принимавших у себя Олимпийские игры, находится на втором месте после Венгрии.

Национальный олимпийский комитет Румынии был образован в 1914 году и принят в МОК в том же году.

Sweden- it is the origin of IKEA, lingonberries and meatballs. But do you know there are more interesting things to do than asides from shopping for some furniture? You can soak yourself in the history of the country by going to the cathedrals, preserved sites of archaeological excavation and the palaces of royalty. Majority of families love to spend their day at the Junibacken Children's Cultural Center, spend time with the tigers and lions at Kolmarfen Wildlife Park or even take a boat ride on the Gota Canal.
ABBA: The Museum is located in Stockholm. Here, visitors learn about the legendary Swedish band that produced some classic hit songs like Mama Mia and Dancing Queen. The fun doesn't end there; guests are opportune to do more things than looking at the band's costumes, gold records, and all their other memorabilia. Visitors can participate in a fun experience that will allow all interested persons to audition at the Polar Studio for a chance to become ABBA's fifth member. At this fun spot, you'll dance your heart out, and even get to try on some of the band's costume.
Fotografiska is situated in the heart of Stockholm; believe it- the art of photography here is overwhelming.

In addition to visiting these major places, you can also go to the Garden Society of Gothenburg, Gota Canal, and Gothenburg Museum of Art etc.
Norway is a beautiful country that must be experienced once in a lifetime. The country offers a unique mix of history, nature, food and architecture. With full of adventure, Norway is one of the safest and mainly diplomatic countries in the world. Norway is filled with beautiful mountains, churches, lighthouses and magnificent fjords, so, if you are traveling to Norway, for the first time, you must be wondering what are the must-see attractions in the country and what are the best things to do nearby.
Here are some of the best things to do in Norway that you really shouldn't miss.
Oslo- No visit to Norway is complete without a visit to Oslo. The capital and largest city of Norway, Oslo is famous for its historical sites, nature, ancient museums and for a vibrant nightlife. The city is covered with lush forests, parks and green space which makes this perfect spot for hiking and cycling.
Western Fjords– Norway's popular fjords are found all through the country, but the most popular and breathtaking fjords are widely found in the Western Norway flanked by Molde and Stavanger. In spite of the fact that the western fjords differ somewhat in appearance, they are for the most part generally narrow, encompassed by the vertical rock faces, high mountains and very deep. A visit to the famous fjords include Naeroyfjord and Geirangerfjord is a must.
Lofoten Islands– If you want to see some of Norway's beautiful landscapes, Lofoten is the right place for you. Weather in Lofoten is quite unpredictable, so it's better to carry rain gear and warm clothes with you. It is a popular spot among those who loves outdoor activities like hiking, climbing, fishing, kayaking, skiing, surfing, and cycling.
Bergen– Surrounded by beautiful mountains and fjords, the beauty of Bergen is incomparable. The colorful wooden houses images come to our mind when we think of Norway. In Bergen you can enjoy the delicious fresh seafood at some of the finest restaurants. Gateway to the fjords of Norway, is also a picturesque drive away from Oslo on the Oslo-Bergen rail line. The train passes all the way through forests, plateaus, and the fjords in one of the most stunning train journey out there. A UNESCO listed, Bergen is a vigorous city with a lot to offer within traditions, music, theatre and amazing nightlife.
Stavanger- Located in southwest Norway, a stopover to the Stavanger is a must during your visit in Norway. A home to the ancient Stavanger Cathedral and colorful houses, the city is surrounded by breathtaking sandy beaches that add even more mystifying touches to the area. Travelers can enjoy hiking and sunbathe during the summers and winter is best for ice skating activity.
Travel to Peru Should Be On Your Bucket List!
Peru is the country in western South America. The capital of Peru is Lima. It is blessed with the great river Amazon. If you want to communicate well with the citizen while visiting Peru you have to know the Spanish language perfectly. Without voyages, the human being can't learn. There are many voyages in a man's life. But if you visit the Real Country you can learn about people from different cultures and natures. So, if you get any vacation from your everyday's flow step forward to see the new, seek the new, and conquer the new. Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman, Moray, Corsicana, Colca Canyon, Tambomachay, and Pukapukare are the best places of Peru where you can go and enjoy the overloaded beauty and bounty.
Machupicchu: It's the top tourist attraction in Peru world heritage site and the historical name of Machupicchu is Historic Sanctuary. It is a 15th-century Inca Citadel situated on a mountain ridge 2,430 meters above from the sea level. It is regarded as an icon for the Inca civilization. It has polished wall of dry stones. You may find modern preservative type work also done to attract the attention of tourists. Our group of tourists included several entrepreneurs from our small town in Arizona. There were real estate agents, car dealership owners (like me) and other small business owners, including two of our regular travel group members, and my cousin celebrating 10 years of freedom from corporate America after starting MesaPaintingPros.com in Arizona. His wife while Valerie owns Val's Beauty Salon. All of hiked up this giant hill and spent the day shopping and browsing. Talk about freedom! Man, is it exhilarating! And, it is absolutely beautiful. It consumes three primary structures, these are the Intihuatana, the Temple of theSun, and the Room of the Three Window. If you visit Peru don't miss this site.
Sacsayhuaman: It is a tower on the northern march of Cusco, Peru. It is considered the capital city of the historical Inca Empire. It is built by huge stones which are dry in nature. In 1983 this is added to the list of Unesco world heritage sight.
Moray: It is situated in the west of the village of Maras. The land area is about 3,500 meter. It contains the broken structure of Inca culture which are really unusual. Here you can find the difference in temperature. In the top, there is one but in the bottom, you may find a totally different temperature. This helps study the growth of cultivation in the different climate. It has an irrigation system too.
Pukapukara: It is a military ruin site in Peru. It acts as a defense part for Cusco. It has large walls, terraces, and staircases. It's named according to the red color rocks at dusk.
Ireland, aka "Emerald Isle", is one of the most culturally rich and welcoming tourist destinations in the world. Also known as "the land of saints and scholars", this country is the home of more Nobel Prize-winning Laureates than any other country around the world. Its capital city Dublin was named 'City of Literature' by UNESCO in 2010. Ireland has a lot to offer to its visitors including its several state museums (all of which are free to visit), innumerable outdoor activities like horse riding, golf, paragliding, skydiving, and sailing to name a few, isolated heavenly islands, and a lot more.
The oldest university of Ireland, Trinity College in Dublin is Ireland's prized gem. It was inaugurated in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I and has since evolved to become a world within a world, and as soon as you step inside its gates and walk on the cobblestones you'll feel like the modern Dublin around you simply vanishes. A walk through the grounds is also a walk through the eras this place has passed and the world of intellect. Trinity college is also famous for its invaluable gems like the Book of Kells (on permanent exhibition) and its famed Long Room (which was the inspiration for the library in the first Harry Potter movie).
This is undoubtedly one of the most heavenly places in Europe, which you can confirm from the thousands of pictures online, yet no picture can ever do justice to the true beauty of this destination. It Ireland's most popular natural attraction with a plethora of visitors every day. It takes a one and a half hour drive from Galway. These cliffs attract over a million people from around the world annually. They sprawl across eight kilometers beside the Atlantic and rise over 220 meters at their peaks.


So learning which tool would be best for shooting Zillow 3D has been an issue for me this year? I recently lost my VR Kit I was using for Zillow 3D tours to a garage fire.
When replacing my burned up equipment, I questioned if there was a product that could work better than the VR Kit that burned up. Keep in mind, we have to use the Zillow 3D app through an Iphone (Sorry Android) to take images that would stitch into a 360. I was spending about 30 minutes shooting Zillow 3D for about 10-14 shots. I wanted something faster and easier to level. I turned to the TurnsPro for about a week and a half. I thought there would be some features that could allow me to adjust the amount of time it took to shoot.
The TurnsPro allowed me to adjust my spin around time down to about 33 seconds to capture a whole spin if I had no alignment errors. The VR Kit had me locked to 40 or 60 seconds, the 20 second option was too fast for the Zillow 3D app to capture. The TurnsPro also required me to set the number of rotations I planned to use. To be safe I could bump to 40 or more rotations knowing I would end up spinning about 20 times with spin around errors.
I gave up on the TurnsPro and went back to the VR Kit. The TurnsPro base had a bad seam between the 2 arcs making a round circle. I was worried I could end up with a broken product very quickly. This seam also didn't help for leveling around the sides if the eye and tripod level were not accessible. The Turnspro was so wide, I could not see my tripod level.
The cellphone mount that came with the TurnsPro was flimsy. You do not want to pick up your tripod and walk to the next scan location knowing your phone could slip out of the holder and crash very easily. Sure you could buy another cell phone mount and place it on the tripod and I doubt you would exceed the weight limits of the motor. I believe the TurnsPro can handle up to 6 lbs. keep in mind I had already spend $100 when the VR kit was $30 less not needing a cellphone mount.
I didn't like the idea of having to setup the TurnsPro at every shoot to get the rotation speed set as well as number of rotations. With the VR Kit you could Turn the thing on, set it to 40 seconds and hit Start/Stop whenever you need. The VR kit is skinny enough to see my level on the tripod.
So I went back to the VR Kit for about a week and what happens? Zillow 3D software can now be used with the Ricoh Theta V. I have had the Ricoh Theta S, but the Zillow 3D software will not work with that camera today (maybe later). I bought the Theta V immediately. This is the time saver! No more cut off images with nasty stitching errors. Floor to ceiling shots and faster shoot times for Zillow 3D. Ricoh Theta V is the way to go!

Two months after the Trelawny Fire Brigade (TFB) confirmed that at least 25 businesses, including supermarkets and haberdasheries, were operating in Falmouth in breach of the International Fire Code, no action has been taken to remedy the situation.
Addressing yesterday's monthly meeting of the Trelawny Municipal Corporation (TMC), Patrick Robinson, deputy superintendent of the TFB, said that despite pointing out the breaches to the offenders, the situation remained the same.
"We have observed that the breaches have not been remedied. As per guidelines, we have written to the operators, from whom there has been no response, but they have continued to operate," said Robinson.
"We have also written to the municipality and they have not responded. I have been informed that the chief executive officer is on leave, so I will forward the letter to the person who is acting for him," added Robinson.
When The Gleaner sought to get a response from Falmouth's mayor, Collen Gager, the usually cooperative TMC chairman was blunt in his refusal to engage.
"I have nothing to say," Gager blurted out, as The Gleaner approached him.
Without action taken to address the breaches of the International Fire Code, customers at the places of business identified by the fire department are potentially exposed to danger.
According to the International Fire Code, businesses should have at least two clear exit routes to permit prompt evacuation of employees and other building occupants. The code also dictates that "a person should have to walk no more than 75 feet to reach a fire extinguisher".
The 25 business places identified, including newly constructed buildings, currently fail to meet the standards outlined.
