It is with deepest sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our father and husband, Doug, on Friday, March 1, 2019, at the Stettler Hospital, at the age of 69 years. Doug is survived by his wife Judy, his children and spouses, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, Steven (Cindy), children Emma and Chloe; David (Chelsea), daughter Kaylee; Stephanie (Ken), children Chelsey and Micheal; Shawna; Samantha, son Dyllan; Leeanne (Phil), children Sierra, Chance, Damion, Harlem; Vincent (Yan); his three great-grandchildren (Sierra) Ryder, Kruz and Makenna; brother Ron (Joy) and sister Doris (Phil) and many relatives and friends. He will be deeply missed. A quiet and small interment was requested. In lieu of flowers, donations in Doug's memory may be made to STARS or the Canadian Cancer Society, in care of Stettler Funeral Home, Box 1780, Stettler, AB, T0C 2L0.


I blame the mystery guy at the hospital.
He was somehow involved in my care – a tech, nurse, or aid of some sort – and he was making small talk with me. I don't remember much more other than that there was a wheelchair involved and I was being helped either into or out of my hospital bed. I don't even remember what the guy looked like. They tell me memory loss is a common side effect of prolonged general anesthesia. Mine was an involved 4-hour spine surgery, so it makes sense. I vaguely recall that he asked me what I do for work and I responded that I'm a writer and public speaker. One line he spoke, however, is crystal clear in my memory and has been nagging me since my November 19 surgery: You're going to have a lot to write about after all this.
It comes back to me often. I've tried to dismiss it, only to have it pop right back into my head.
I hadn't intended to write about my spine surgery at all; at least not directly. In fact, I didn't want many people to know about it outside of my immediate family. I didn't want to hear the horror stories about back surgeries gone awry and I didn't want to be written off as weak or useless because folks assumed mine would go awry as well. And, to be honest, I was too proud to show my vulnerability. I hate being the one who needs help and I hate even more having to ask for it. Nope. I was going to keep hush about my surgery and so I blew off the mystery guy's comment. Or, at least I gave it my best shot.
The surgery itself – a spinal fusion with bone grafts – was a great success, giving me complete and immediate relief of my often debilitating symptoms. But, I experienced some complications in the healing of the incision and required special treatment at a wound clinic. Suffice to say it was just one of those wonky things that can happen with many kinds of surgery. Nothing life-threatening or crippling, but it definitely threw a wrench in my recovery process. What was expected to be a simple, 6-week recovery has stretched into 11 weeks and likely a few more before all is said and done. The happy part is that I now see the light at the end of the tunnel and will soon be as good as new. The not-so-happy part is that it's been a very dark tunnel to get through.
For the first time, I encountered an obstacle I couldn't power through. My body was going to do (or not do) what it was going to do (or not do) in its own way and time according to God's plan and no amount of my strong will could change that. I hadn't prepared for that aspect of the surgery and it devastated me. In the past, I've been able to grit my teeth and forge my way through challenges. Not this time. The surgery hit me like a Mack truck. When complications set in, I was emotionally and spiritually ravaged. I had quite literally been plunked down on my backside and made to be still and wait on God.
Not what I had in mind, to be sure.
But it was what God had in mind for me, and because of my willfulness, I was missing the point. I think it dawned on me right about the time I was downing my fifth helping of humble pie by having to admit – again – to someone that I'd had spine surgery and was having setbacks in recovery. Humble pie, I believe, is an acquired taste. Somewhere between scooping up the last crumb on the plate and wiping my mouth with the napkin, I realized that the surgery – complications and all – was never about me. Rather, it's about what God intends to do with it in, with, and through me. This wasn't another challenge for me to power through; it was a long, dark tunnel that I was supposed to allow God to lead me through.
Had I understood that early on, the dark tunnel wouldn't have been so scary. I would have discovered that in the silent darkness, God's voice was whispering to me. You're going to have a lot to write about after all this.
Prayer, Redemptive Suffering, spirituality. Bookmark.
I can't wait to hear more.! Your experience will help so many on those "dark" days when you pray your body would cooperate and "hurry up and heal". Thanks for giving a voice to this all too common surgery, not just those who have it but for their family and friends.


About time: "Luck & Logic" English release announced!
After months of waiting, Bushiroad has finally announced the real ease date and pricing for the English version of their popular new game Luck & Logic.
On Friday, ICV2 reported that the game will find it's official debut in English on June 24th. The game will release with two Trial decks and a 120 card base set.
The base set is entitled Growth & Genesis. Boosters will include 7 cards, of varying rarities, including a Paradox card. Included in the set will be randomly inserted signature cards. Each booster will retail for $4.50.
The first Trial Deck will be Brave Logic and is based on the character Chloe Maxwell. This deck focuses "resource enhancement". Along with the 50 game cards and 10 Gate cards, each Trial Deck include the chance at a signature card. Suggested retail is $20.00.
The second Trial Deck will be Rinne Logic and is based on the character Tamaki Turine. This deck focuses "ally supporters". Along with the 50 game cards and 10 Gate cards, each Trial Deck include the chance at a signature card. Suggested retail is $20.00.
When this set drops in English, the Japanese version will be on it's third set (second expansion). I am super excited for this game's release. Having followed the releases and scanlations elsewhere, I have high hopes for this game.

Teardown of Apple's 7th-gen iPod nano discovers Toshiba NAND flash, Broadcom Bluetooth
Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 05:17 am PT (08:17 am ET)
Apple's latest iPod nano has been pulled apart to reveal a number of anonymous, Apple-branded chips, though NAND flash from Toshiba and a Bluetooth chip with FM radio from Broadcom could be identified.
In its official teardown, iFixit noted that its look at the integrated circuits on the new iPod nano's logic board was "hindered" because of the fact that many of the chips are unnamed. Of the nine chips on the logic board, only four could be properly identified.
Leading the way is the Toshiba THGBX2G7D2JLA01, which includes 16 gigabytes of NAND flash. The Broadcom BCM2078KUBG also includes both the Bluetooth and FM radios.
Joining them is a touchscreen controller from Texas Instruments identified as 343S0538, as well as a chip from NXP Semiconductors labeled 1609A1. The remaining mystery chips follow:
339S0193
Apple 338S1099
iFixit also found that the battery in the new iPod nano is soldered directly to the logic board and adhered to the back of the display. They did find a plastic pull tab presumed to be in place for removing the battery, however they found the adhesive holding the battery in place was too strong.
The new 3.7V, 0.8Wh, 220 mAh battery is more than twice that of the 0.39 Wh rating of the sixth-generation iPod nano. The solutions provider also found that the LCD and digitizer glass are not fused together, which means each component could be replaced separately.
The same could not be said for the battery, Lightning connector, or volume controls, all of which are soldered to the logic board. Pulling out the logic board also removes the battery, button cable, Lightning connector, and headphone jack.
For more on the iPod nano, see AppleInsider's full review of Apple's seventh-generation diminutive touchscreen media player.

Passing Bull 248 – The almost crowd
Many of our commentators thrive on equivocation – and a coyness about what they may or may not stand for. They often set up a straw man. You get stuff like the following. We were right to protect our sovereignty over illegal boat people if necessary by armed force. The response of Germany was a dangerous over-reaction. The climate may fluctuate, but the reaction of progressives is alarmist and a threat to the economy. We are not against gay people, but we saw no need for legislation about same sex marriage. The police in the U S may have problems, but Black Lives Matter has become an over-reaction that threatens law and order. The issue with Cofid has been blown out of proportion, and the lockdown is an unnecessary blight. This is just another case of 'experts' undermining our freedom. Cathy Freeman is a star but she brought politics into sport with that flag. The opposition to Goodes was not racist and he too over-reacted. We take as our guide the equivocations of the Jesuits in the witch hunts after Guy Fawkes.
There is no restraint or moderation.
In The Weekend Australian, 5 to 6 September, 2020, Terry McCrann said of Cofid:
Of these deaths [Cofid] 650 were in the Stasi state formerly known as Victoria. And of those 505 were in aged care…..
On the health cost-benefit alone, the costs have and will far outweigh the direct virus benefits. Then add on the monumental economic and financial costs, and we are still living through the greatest public policy failure in this country's entire history.
In the column next to that one, Alan Kohler said:
Research …published this week clearly shows that the fewer deaths a country has, the better its economy does and vice versa. For example, Britain has had 630 deaths per million population and its economy shrank 22 per cent in the June quarter..; Australia has had 27 deaths per million, and the economy shrank 7 per cent, among the least in the world….Pressure on Victoria to open up anyway, and on other states to end border restrictions are pointlessly political and at odds with both evidence and local politics. Any state that has rising case numbers will go back into lockdown, no matter what Scott Morison says.
In the next weekend, a commentator refers to Biden's reference to Trump as a 'climate arsonist.' That obviously over the top response is labelled feral, unhinged, unscientific, irrational, blatantly false and insane. And the same commentator says that Trump's 'meandering statements' are tested 'against a literal standard not applied to other politicians.'
Stand by for an avalanche of bull about the U S Supreme Court.
Another commentator describes an American as 'the most brilliant younger Catholic now writing.' What is the significance of the professed faith of the American? Perhaps it is the reason why 'he mainly interrogates culture as more important than politics.'

April hospital margin gains contrast steep losses from start of COVID-19, not improved performance
The finances of U.S. hospitals continue to improve as the coronavirus pandemic wanes, following months of steep losses last year, according to a new report from Kaufman Hall.
In April, hospital margins, volumes and revenues were up across most performance metrics year to date and year over year, though they were down compared to March, the consultancy found.
Researchers called the results "encouraging," but noted they were more indicative of a recovering industry following the record-low performance seen in the first two months of COVID-19 in 2020, rather than strong performance overall this year.
Hospitals struggled last year as COVID-19 dampened volumes and increased expenses, though many large chains, at least on paper, seem to be in better financial shape than they were before the pandemic.
Though a handful of operators have returned some or all of the funds, hospitals were buoyed by billions of dollars in federal aid last year, and all but one major U.S. for-profit system posted notable profits in the first quarter of this year as patient volumes recovered.
Kaufman Hall's report found hospitals' average operating margin rose 102% in January through April compared to the same period last year, not including relief funding Congress allocated for providers in the sweeping Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. Including those grants, operating margin was up 91%.
On a year-over-year basis, operating margin was up 113% without federal funding and 110% including it in April. April last year — the first full month of the pandemic in the U.S. — saw widespread state lockdowns and restrictions on non-emergent care that caused operating margins to plummet a whopping 282% year over year, the report found.
However, April 2021 hospital margins remained thin compared to normal, pre-COVID-19 levels, researchers noted.
"We have to keep the April results in appropriate context," Erik Swanson, senior vice president of data and analytics at Kaufman Hall, said. "While we anticipate the data in the months ahead will show additional gains over low levels seen in early 2020, overall margins remain low and fluctuations month-over-month convey continued uncertainties for hospitals, as they work to recover from a profoundly challenging pandemic."
Volumes saw a notable bounce back in April compared to 2020 levels, but dipped slightly compared to March 2021. Adjusted discharges were up 6% year to date and 66% year over year, while adjusted patient days grew 10% year to date and 65% year over year. Both fell 1% compared to March.
Emergency room visits were also mixed, falling 7% year over year for the period January through April. However, they rose 57% year over year in April and 5% compared to March.
Revenues saw a similar shift, with gross operating revenue rising on a year to date and year over year basis by 17% and 72%, respectively, but dropping 3% in April compared to March.
Inpatient revenue rose 11% year to date and 37% year over year; while outpatient revenue rose 20% year to date and 115% year over year. However, both dipped roughly 2% on a month-over-month basis.
Expenses also increased both year to date and year over year, but decreased slightly month to month.
Hospital executives have said they are cautiously optimistic about the remainder of 2021, as revenues and volumes continue to tick up. However, month-to-month fluctuations in performance metrics are likely to continue, Kaufman Hall said, and underscore the ongoing uncertainty in the sector.
In a previous report, the consultancy said it expects the effects of the pandemic this year to cause hospitals to lose somewhere between $53 billion and $122 billion, compared to normal levels.

Stannah stairlifts lands supporting role in Hoffman's directorial debut
Home>Stannah Blog>Articles>Stannah stairlifts lands supporting role in Hoffman's directorial debut
Stannah Stairlifts is reaching for the stars this winter as it gets its big screen break in Quartet – the first film to be directed by Oscar-winning actor Dustin Hoffman.
The bespoke Starla chair with dark wood trim and green upholstery will be used as a key prop for one of the main characters in the film, Wilf, played by Scottish actor Billy Connolly.
The comedy, which was filmed on location at Hedsor House in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, with a stellar cast including Maggie Smith and Michael Gambon, tells the story of a once world-famous quartet. Now living in a care home, the quartet is reunited for a one-off concert, which brings to the surface secrets from their glorious past.
Patrick Stannah, joint managing director, Stannah Lift Services, said: "As a British heritage brand, we are delighted to have been chosen as the stairlift provider in Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut, Quartet. The film's storyline, which illustrates how it is never too late to enjoy life, resonates strongly with Stannah."
Stannah installed the stairlift on the grand staircase of Hedsor House and it can be seen in its full glory during a scene when Billy Connolly's character rides down to talk with Dr Coggan, played by Sheridan Smith, in the lobby area.
Quartet will have its UK premiere at the London Film Festival on 15th October and will be released in the UK on 1st January 2013.

As if to only give the middle finger to the meteorologist rodent who told us Spring was coming early this year, Idaho winter weather finally decided to include snow. But, just because there is snow in Idaho doesn't mean school is canceled. Check out this video from Pocatello of a school bus being rescued by a tow truck.
Teacher: Why are all you kids late today...and don't blame it on the snow.
Students: Well, we had to get towed out of a snowbank so either our driver was drunk or it really was the snow.
Go to school today they said. It will be fun they said.
Kids Looking Outside: Today will be a great snow day!
School Phone Call: Classes will not be cancelled today.
Bus Driver: Turns out the bus doesn't drift like a Honda Civic.
What funny caption can you give us in the comments below or on our Facebook page?


When you lose someone you love, your life can be thrown completely off track. You can be left wondering whether you'll ever be able to continue your life or achieve the things you wanted to do before. Learning to carry on with life after a tremendous loss can be incredibly difficult and it's important to take things one step at a time and reward and love yourself every step of the way.
Was your loved one a fierce campaigner or activist? Were they in the middle of an exciting project or business venture? If possible, can you pick up where they left off?
Some people find that continuing the great work that a loved one used to do gives them a real sense of accomplishment and joy. By doing this, you can continue your loved one's legacy and ensure that any unfinished business gets done.
Of course, there's no point carrying on with your loved one's work if you have no interest in it at all. And you may have completely different skills to those your loved one had. For example, if they were an extraordinary brain surgeon while you're a talented teacher, it's unrealistic to change career path to do what they used to do.
Was your loved one a black belt in karate, a regular at the local Zumba glass or a budding guitarist? Perhaps you could pick up a similar hobby or take inspiration from their favourite activities.
There's no point devoting time to hobbies you don't enjoy but by keeping your mind open and giving new things a try, you may find something you really love and make lots of new friends in the process.
In the early stages of grief, some people try to push memories of their loved one to the back of their minds so they can move on and try to forget how much they miss the person. They throw away photos, they hide things that bring back certain memories and they sell their loved one's belongings. Although this attitude can help you deal with your grief for a while, there may come a time where you regret getting rid of your loved one's things. You'll probably get to a stage where you want to do everything you can to keep their memory alive.
If the sight of your loved one's possessions causes you pain, ask friends or relatives to help you pack them away and put them in storage. There will be some things such as clothes and household items that you can get rid of without any regrets but there will also be personal items such as photos, trinkets and keepsakes that you might like to see, touch and smell again in the future.
When you're ready, start to reintroduce your loved one's possessions back into your life. Display their books in a corner of your home where you can read and reflect. Display old photos in a creative way. Create memory boxes or scrapbooks filled with happy memories from the past.
Why am I not receiving messages from the spiritual realm?

Aung San Suu Kyi Receives Corporate Fascist Seal of Approval
British FM William Hague awards her the "Chatham House Prize."
January 7, 2012 - In the first visit to Myanmar by a British foreign minister in 56 years - William Hague took it upon himself to present "democracy icon" Aung San Suu Kyi with the "Chatham House Prize."
Photo: Hague hands Suu Kyi the "Chatham House Prize." Nothing quite says "democracy promotion" like a prize from an organization consisting of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BP, Exxon, Chevron, BAE, Boeing, Lockheed, and many more. This is just the latest in a long line of self-aggrandizing stunts the global elite pull to lend themselves otherwise non-existent legitimacy.
The "Chatham House Prize" is given annually to a "statesperson who is deemed by Chatham House members to have made the most significant contribution to the improvement of international relations in the previous year." The decision process is conducted by research teams and the Chatham House's presidents who are currently John Major, Patricia Scotland, and none other than Paddy Ashdown, who just finished defiling the spirit of innovation and pragmatism at the TED Talks with his sales pitch for global governance run by the corporate-financier elite.
The Chatham House membership is described as "individuals, companies and organizations who share a deep interest in international affairs, independent thinking and debate." Their membership includes, "academics, diplomats, the media, NGOs, politicians, policy-makers, researchers and business people."
Of course, an actual look at Chatham House's membership reveals what is essential a fraudulent convergence of corporate-financier elitist interests, government, so-called "NGOs," and media. Their "corporate & NGO membership" includes Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, British Petroleum, Amsterdam & Peroff, Bloomsberg, BBC, Coca-Cola, Dutsche Bank, BAE Systems, the Economist, GlaxoSmithKline, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, Total, Texco, Reuters, Boeing, Standard Chartered Bank, Thales, Lockheed Martin, World Vision, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Barclays Capital.
When we look at the fraudulent concert with which these converging interests operated in the persecution of war against Libya and the subsequent genocide, destruction, and installation of a Petroleum Institute representative as "prime minister" of the nation as it began handing out the above mentioned big-oil interests exclusive contracts, it is quite clear the potential conflicts of interest present at the Chatham House have bred atrocious improprieties. That it would later turn out that the claims of "humanitarian intervention" were based on admitted lies by "human rights activists" in Libya who were in fact working directly for/with the opposition, illustrates the absolute lack of legitimacy with which these global elite operate.
From the lies told by Chatham House media members, to policies crafted by government members, to the immense profits now being reaped by its big-business members - the Chatham House is an interlocking criminal enterprise of unprecedented proportions.
The Chatham House is one of many corporate-financier round tables that represent the collective interests of the global corporate-financier elite. Their policy papers and the agendas they support directly represent their collective corporate-financier interests. The "Chatham House Prize" therefore is in no shape, form, or manner, a testament to a recipient's service to the people, but rather their service to the powers that be - globally.
Aung San Suu Kyi has just been granted the seal of global corporate-fascist approval, accepting the prize from Hague who has played an instrumental role in the destruction and genocide brought upon Libya, and a man who is busy attempting a repeat performance in Syria and Iran.
As described in depth in "Burmese "Pro-Democracy" Movement a Creation of Wall Street & London," Aung San Suu Kyi's entire political movement, the NGOs supporting her both inside Myanmar and abroad, as well as domestic and foreign media fronts that ceaselessly promote her and her agenda, are entirely funded by the US and British governments. A 2006 36-page document out of the "Burma Campaign UK" explicitly details the enormous amount of money and resources both the US government and its corporate-funded foundations have poured into Suu Kyi's image and her "movement."
The goal of course is to remove anti-Western, pro-nationalist cliques within the Myanmar government and replace them with compliant stooges like Aung San Suu Kyi. It is then ironic that 56 years after the British last visited Myanmar, they are now back along with the likes of George Soros, US-stooge Yingluck Shinawatra, and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, bestowing accolades, praise, and support upon Aung San Suu Kyi, a proxy holding enormous potential to usher in a new age of neo-colonialism managed by Wall Street and London - all part of the so-called American "Pacific Century" aiming at encircling and containing the rise of China.
The age of British imperialism never truly ended, its global spanning megalomania never went extinct - rather it has evolved into a system of global corporate-financier fascism.
For those interested in what can be done to stop the building of this insidious empire, please see "Solutions."

Summary of melania – What are you talking about now?
Trump is in a sad state of spatial ability as a president of the U.S & seems to be trapped by both Russia & Israel. He has to please both nations' demands. He has lost the freedom to govern frm the WH; while Jared is spying for Israel & Melania is spying for Russia, I suppose?
Trump and Melania were in Atlanta today talking about the opioid crisis. Because if there's anyone to talk about the severity of this issue, it's the man who acts like he's on drugs and the woman who wishes she was.
Melania Trump is out here touting her work sending *video messages* to summer camps for kids. Not actually going to them, mind you, but sending video messages.


A resource for learning about authentic bachata dance. Basic steps, basic turns, footwork, and styling, in the Dominican, Caribbean style, Click on a link in the table of contents below for instructional how to bachata dance videos.
Bachata is in 4/4 time - which means there are four emphasized beats in every measure. Here are some queues to help know where you are: The low bongo usually plays on the 4th beat. The voice accents the 1st beat - often that means that vocal phrases end on the first beat rather than start on it. The bass tends to play on the 3rd, 4th, and 1st beats - but this can change. Dancers usually step on beats 1,2 and 3 - stepping in place on 4 (tap). Sometimes, people will dance on different timings. Bachata is informal, it's not a ballroom dance, so the rules defining it are not rigid. See the last video on the bottom left for a step by step breakdown of bachata's most basic footwork.
Me gustó mucho porque explican de manera sencilla cada movimiento.
me encana la bachata . tengo que aprender !

2. The preferred lifestyle: quality of life or extended old age?
Does changing our lifestyle considerably affect our health and wellness and lifespan?
What if people actually prefer quality of life to an extended later years?
So life-style is a modifying element: it is extremely unlikely you will live till 90 unless this is a family group genetic trait; if you might not make it to 90 if your lifestyle choices are not optimal.
So in practice they didn't die drastically younger provided that they survived the risky early on years, despite the fact that their lifestyle choices might today be considered almost lethal. Even so, their lives were a lot more active - perhaps often more so. Every single area of their lives included far more activity: their function was even more physical, their leisure was extra physical, plus they walked much beyond today as transportation was considerably less well developed and several factors were distinct. For example it was common for even small children to walk countless miles a evening to access school and back, generally alone - that is not just unusual in England today, it really is almost unheard of.
So on the top it looks as though some aspects of diet plan considered risky today possess little result overall; drinking and smoking possess a marginal influence on population health overall even though quite substantial; but total activity is by an extremely long way the most crucial factor. This is a population-level concern, though, meaning it applies on average; clearly, the individual must determine ideal behaviour because of their own circumstances.
On balance, you cannot be prepared to live longer than your loved ones history says is likely. You can shorten your lifespan, nonetheless it takes hard job in that regard to create a lot of difference, now that environments and work circumstances are safer than previously. To maximise your potential lifespan shows up, more than anything else, to need a large amount of physical activity.
What if people in fact prefer an enjoyable lifestyle to a miserable, extended one? Is standard of living something that should be factored in? Do people actually want to live to an extended old age today?
It is difficult to find anyone who would like to live a miserable existence, extended artificially to the utmost. Indeed, this sounds like the definition of a life in order to avoid. Such persons may exist but they are not the majority. In general, people want to live urbanised lives of maximum comfort, maximum social chance, and minimum effort. They are the lives they overwhelmingly select. It might be worthwhile pointing out to them that this will not maximise lifespan, however they mostly realise this. They do not choose the existence of an old-time religious ascetic, or a rural standard of living with a very lot of walking and exercise. We can try to educate the little in regards to to such choices, but if anything they happen to be worse than their father and mother: they select sedentary leisure such as video gaming and TV rather than rambling, cycling or tennis. That is a route to shorter lifespans, but it is a choice produced deliberately and with the entire good thing about modern information resources.
Does anyone wish to live to a grand old age now? It appears like a good idea until you take into account that the traditional family group environment has been entirely destroyed, and the elderly generally live lonely, empty lives with all areas of it beyond their control: they live in artificial homes that happen to be like open prisons they cannot leave because of infirmity or financial restrictions. Told how to proceed, where to perform it, when to accomplish it, what things to eat, and how exactly to live, their lives frequently have no purpose any more. In the phrases of 1 senior, they are "in God's waiting space". Parked up and warehoused, they haven't any real life.
Lifestyle imposition by others is going to be unwelcome and impractical: it has no benefit for most. It includes advice that you will live longer, when the majority evidently don't want to, nowadays.
Lifestyle is a subject of personal choice since the quality of someone's life is of a lot more importance to them than the volume - how long they live. Nevertheless, the present day Public Health sector has little (or almost nothing) to do now that mass disease is in order and out of their jurisdiction, so they need work - and way of life is their latest domain. Among the funniest things seen recently is a move among their ranks to re-company the word as 'deathstyle' in order to try and make customer and leisure choices seem to be more important and much more serious than they are.
Our father and mother and grandparents drank just like fish and smoked liked chimneys, but nonetheless managed to live to their late 70s, 80s, and even 90s, so such choices usually do not about the whole seem to be all that vital that you lifespan generally; genetics and other elements are of far more consequence (all of the world's oldest persons are or have already been smokers, a slightly embarrassing simple fact; some smoked for a lot more than 10 decades). It looks very much as though the single the very first thing people can influence is their general level of activity.
On the other hand, how you live your daily life is quite important to standard of living: people want to take pleasure from themselves, and very handful of indeed want to live a miserable life and survive to 90, especially considering the fact that care and support for older people both equally within the family and in society overall have deteriorated quickly within the same timescale that Consumer Health have already been trying to increase longevity at the price of the rest. If PH genuinely wanted to make a difference, they would concentrate in increasing the miserable lot of the elderly instead of looking to get everyone into that bracket regardless of the outcome.
Of course, artificially extended lifespans do require decade upon decade of expensive prescription drugs, a useful benefit for those who, strangely enough, tend to be found to be significant funders of the general public Health industry.
It can often be impossible for improvement to take place before old guard disappear completely and die. That is a straightforward fact of life: anyone who has been around longest have reached the best positions of vitality, and are determined to safeguard the status quo. Nothing can happen until they go. They believe in outmoded paradigms, and safeguard old technology and old devices. They stop all progress because, within their view, the position quo cannot be increased; and they have to protect prior positions for reputational reasons, and established processes for financial reasons. All kinds of causes will be discovered why change cannot be allowed.
When bars to advance are examined, it will often be discovered that switch for the better is unattainable until the people in charge are displaced. Loss of life helps clear away the dead timber. We are looking for it.
What we don't want is a long, artificially extended working life that keeps old fossils in control, well past their sell-by date. If which were to be typical, we would even now consider disease to get caused by miasma, dresses to be produced best yourself weaving, and transport greatest effected by horsepower.
What we do need is for the old guard to just disappear completely when their mental processes become fossilised. Loss of life is our good friend. Without it, we would all be flint knappers.
The propaganda tells us that people should make an effort to live for as long as possible, no matter what. When will people commence to criticise such anomalous and unsafe edicts?
Complete marks to Bishop Holloway for speaking out against the prison of artificially prolonged lives, without expectation or meaning or perhaps volition. If only considerably more experienced the courage to talk about this contemporary evil. You may even remember that he speaks especially of pleasure: the enjoyment of life and its activities; you may also be informed that the Public Health industry especially prohibits any reference to pleasure in any of its materials.
You will find a lesson in there for some of us.

What's Next for Education: 5 realities schools must embrace
Posted By: Todd Kominiak July 31, 2017
Dr. Philip Lanoue
When it comes to dealing with a changing education environment, there are plenty of school leaders who can talk the talk. But, taking a leap and bringing communities together can be daunting, often relegating change to rhetoric.
School leaders describe their schools as "future-ready." But, without a tangible and actionable plan in place, they often struggle to keep pace with the rapid stride of classroom innovation, or the steady drumbeat of school choice and competition.
These are challenges that Dr. Philip Lanoue, former principal of the year, Georgia state superintendent of the year, and national superintendent of the year, understands well.
As superintendent of Clarke County Public Schools in Georgia, Lanoue helped boost the graduation rate from 63 percent to 80 percent, revamp the district's teacher evaluation system, forge partnerships with the University of Georgia and Athens Technical College and launch a well-regarded career academy. In other words, he's walked the walk when it comes to school transformation.
That's why we're excited to welcome Lanoue as a regular contributor to TrustED. Later this week, we'll launch Course Correction, a new monthly column that challenges school leaders to think differently about the challenges they face and offers practical advice and solutions to help usher in a new day in K-12 leadership.
Dr. Lanoue recently sat down with us to outline five new realities that school leaders must face before they can drive real change in school.
1. The in-school, out-of-school divide no longer exists
Learning is a 24/7 process, says Lanoue, and it doesn't stop once students leave the classroom or the school building. Thanks largely to technology, the traditional boundaries that once existed between students' school and social or home life have come tumbling down. So, the question now for educators and administrators is how can they enhance student learning outside of school?
2. Digital access can level the playing field for students, if we want it to
While some educators believe that a focus on digital learning simply widens the divide between the proverbial "haves and have nots," Lanoue sees a powerful tool to accelerate student achievement—provided educators embrace these tools as part of a larger human-led process, and ensure that all students have equal access to them.
Want more from Dr. Lanoue? Don't miss his new monthly column, Course Correction
"We can have 3D printers build houses, but we can't get digital access to kids for learning?" Lanoue asks. As technology becomes more ubiquitous, Lanoue says educators must make a concerted effort to ensure all students have the access and the guidance they deserve. The key, he says, is to strike the right balance between technology and human-centric learning.
3. Schools need to prepare students for life-long learning, not just college or a job
"People want to have the conversation about how some kids should go to college and others are better-suited for a job right out of high school," Lanoue says. "But often, when you ask those 'not all students should go to college' people where their kids go, they say, 'to college.'"
The conversation around students' future plans shouldn't be "college or not college," suggests Lanoue. Instead, schools and districts need to prepare students to be life-long learners, wherever that journey takes them.
Want more great education thought leadership? Sign up for the TrustED newsletter.
While many schools include life-long learning as a goal in their mission statements, Lanoue says the definition of student achievement is often capped at a high school diploma or college graduation. To create true life-long learners, schools must rethink the endgame for students, or if they should define an endgame at all.
4. School curricula and evaluations don't align with today's core competencies
In an age where people are calling for more creativity, innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving in school and work, Lanoue says that few school curricula—and fewer standardized tests—actually address these skills
"We have a testing framework that doesn't even test what people want," he says. "If we know that 25 percent of the jobs that students will enter in four years don't even exist today, how can we prepare students for that work?"
Lanoue says encouraging students to have passions and interests is important, but schools will need to start focusing on broader competencies and skills to prepare today's learners for the future.
5. It's time to embrace social media
Is social media a friend or foe for schools? Lanoue says definitively that it's a friend.
"I think we need to talk about learning as communicating what you know across the world. Can you imagine, instead of high-stakes testing, we had high-stakes communication to share what you know?"
Schools that restrict social media use out of fear, inevitably restrict a key way for students to learn, Lanoue says.
Do you agree with these trends? Are there others that you think should be on this list? Tell us in the comments. Or, share your thoughts on social media using the hashtag #WhatsNextTrustED. And don't miss Dr. Lanoue's new Course Correction column, starting this week on TrustED.

The first thing "educators" need to realize is that they are not the ones really in control anymore. Children, with appropriate digital access and parental guidance, can self-access videos, tutorials, how-to's, additional information, engage with true professionals, etc. all electronically. The class room of yester-year is becoming more and more irrelevant. Traditional top-down education with the main mode of knowledge transfer being from one adult to 30 or so students via a singular or limited modicum is outmoded, inefficient and quite frankly dumb. Personally, I can't wait to see this top-heavy, ego-inflated institution and all it's administrative glory to go away. Not just K-12, but higher education, too. I see it already – kids do what their "supposed to" in "school" then pursue their passions, interests after hours via technology. Bill Gates anyone? I have seen a bit of the explosion of ideas and individual thinking this leads to and I am excited to imagine what lies ahead for mankind.
