Man arrested in weekend shooting downtown
FROM STAFF AND SUBMITTED REPORTS
A San Antonio man faces attempted capital murder and attempted murder charges after allegedly trying to run down a police officer while escaping the the scene of a shooting Saturday night in downtown San Marcos.
Martin Avila III, 24, was arrested at his home at about 12:35 p.m. Sunday. He is being held at the Bexar County jail on a $500,000 bond awaiting transfer to the Hay County jail later this week.
The man Avila is accused of shooting was treated for minor injuries at the scene. The San Marcos police officer, Jesse Saavedra, was not injured.
Avila, his 18-year-old brother and a friend were involved in an altercation with the victim and his two friends at a bar on LBJ Drive Saturday night, police Cmdr. Penny Dunn said. The groups went their separate ways.
Avila went to his parked vehicle to retrieve a handgun and then confronted the victim and his friends on Hutchison Street across from Fire Station No. 1. Avila's brother and friend stayed with the car after police say Avila retrieved the weapon and confronted the victim, Dunn said.
Witnesses said the suspect fired the handgun twice at 10:20 p.m., and one of the bullets grazed the victim's right ear and right side of his head. Avila then fled the scene on foot, according to accounts given to police by witnesses.
Saavedra and Texas State University police officer Darin Wilde pursued Avila on foot. Saavedra, a uniformed officer, commanded Avila to stop fleeing, Dunn said.
Avila disregarded Saavedra's order and told his brother and friend to get in the car. Police say Avila and his brother entered the car and attempted to strike Saavedra at high speed as they fled with Avila behind the wheel, Dunn said.
Saavedra jumped over a concrete construction barrier to avoid being hit and fired one shot from his service weapon, striking the car.
Saavedra, an eight-year veteran of the police department, was not injured during the incident. He was put on administrative leave for the initial stages of the investigation.
"It's routine to put officers on administrative leave when they are involved in shooting incidents pending an internal review," Police Chief Howard Williams said.

This guy is quite a prize. Get in an argument, retrieve a gun, try twice to shoot someone in the head, flee the cops, then try to run a cop over with your car.
Martin Avila Sr. and Jr. must be very proud. Very proud indeed. Not to mention his little brother.
Seems a miracle no one else was hurt.

He grazed the side of my head, and the bullet had cut through the hair on my head. We were not at a bar, we had just left stratosphere and the first interaction occurred outside of the mobile phone geeks store. This story is not very accurate.
Zachary, you are one fortunate human being. An inch in the wrong direction and this article would have been your obituary.

WAUSAU - An 18-year-old Weston man accused of raping a 16-year-old girl while out on bond for charges of sexually assaulting a young boy is out of jail.
Colton Bradberry posted the first $1,000 in cash of a $2,500 signature bond Friday after spending nearly three months in the Marathon County Jail, according to court records. The bail was set in March by Judge Gregory Strasser with conditions that Bradberry have no contact with the victim or anyone under 18 and he not use drugs and alcohol.
Marathon County prosecutors charged Bradberry in March with second-degree sexual assault, sexual intercourse with a child and four counts of bail jumping after a 16-year-old girl told police Bradberry raped her in a camper parked in the driveway outside his home, according to a criminal complaint.
Bradberry's defense attorney, Julie Sawyer, argued earlier this month for a judge to change the teen's bail amount to a $5,000 signature bond with added conditions he only be allowed to live at home with his parents and have a curfew of 8 p.m. Judge LaMont Jacobson denied Sawyer's request, according to court records.
Bradberry is also accused of forcing an 8-year-old boy to touch his genitals last year. Prosecutors charged him in December with first-degree sexual assault of a child under 13, victim intimidation, marijuana possession and bail jumping. A judge issued a $2,000 signature bond and ordered him to not have contact with anyone under 18 unless an adult 25 or older is present and to stay sober.
In February, Bradberry was twice charged with violating his bail, once for stealing BB gun ammunition from Walmart and another time for being around children at the Grand Lodge Water Park. Both times he was set free on a $1,500 signature bond, according to court records.
Bradberry is scheduled to return to court Thursday.

A lot of us take our sight for granted, something that we're sure many who lose their sight later in life can attest to. However thanks to technology, the visually impaired no longer have to be "blind". One such app that is helping people who are visually impaired is Envision. The app relies on AI to help read and analyze its surroundings, and tells the user what it sees.
"Envision can process an image an extract the information user is looking for. It can read texts from any surface accurately and quickly." Note that Envision had actually previously been launched for iOS, but now it looks like it has found its way onto Android. As Android Police notes, the iOS version came with in-app subscriptions which the Android version seems to be lacking, at least for now.
That being said, Envision is definitely not the first of its kind. Other companies such as Microsoft and Google have also worked on creating apps that help the blind "see" the world around them.

Walmart pins store fires on Tesla solar installs in new lawsuit
Aug 21, 2019 12:25 PM BST
In 2007, Wal-Mart launched a solar power pilot project to determine solar viability for their store portfolio. The pilot program consisted of 22 sites across California and Hawaii. Image: Blue Oak Energy
Walmart has linked a string of store fires in recent years to Tesla's alleged mismanagement of solar panel installation and maintenance, taking Elon Musk's outfit to court.
A new lawsuit from the US retail colossus demands damages from Tesla and the full removal of its solar installs, amid claims that the company's "systemic, widespread failures" were the culprit of a series of rooftop blazes over the past decade.
"To state the obvious, properly designed, installed, inspected, and maintained solar systems do not spontaneously combust, and the occurrence of multiple fires involving Tesla's solar systems is but one unmistakable sign of negligence by Tesla," reads Walmart's lawsuit.
The document – filed on Tuesday before the New York County Supreme Court – urges the tribunal to declare Tesla in breach of 240-plus contracts the firm entered with Walmart between 2010 and 2016, tasking it with the roll-out, running and maintenance of solar panels in hundreds of locations.
Hotspots 'visible to the naked eye'
Walmart's lawsuit sketches out a timeline for at least seven store blazes between 2012 and 2018, all of which the US retailer attributes to what it describes as Tesla's "gross negligence".
The series begins with three fires at Tesla-equipped stores: California's Long Beach (2012) and Milpitas (2016) and Colorado's Lakeside (2017). According to Walmart's estimates, the first two incidents cost around US$90,000 and US$500,000 in respective damages.
The lawsuit's timeline continues with another three blazes throughout H1 2018 at locations fitted with Tesla installs. After the last of the three, another California blaze in May 2018, Walmart asked Tesla to disconnect all rooftop solar systems.
Tesla acquiesced but this, Walmart claimed, did not prevent a further blaze at California's Yuba City facility with switched-off PV installs in November 2018. Investigations revealed wires were "still sparking" when the fire was discovered, the US retailer claimed.
According to the lawsuit, post-fire panel probing at various locations found "hotspots" – or "micro-crack" precursors – where heat and pressure were building. Tesla, the document alleges, routinely used staff lacking "basic solar training and knowledge" and the correct equipment to carry out inspections.
In the case of Yuba City's fire, the document goes on to claim, a Tesla technician helped create a "fire hazard" by failing to shut a combiner box. Tesla staff, Walmart alleges, also failed to disclose a ground fault alert triggered at the location last summer.
Eyes on Musk amid solar relaunch
Whether and how Tesla responds to the lawsuit remains unclear at the time of writing. Contacted today by PV Tech, the firm had not offered any comment by the time this article was published.
The lawsuit claims Tesla has yet to offer a "complete set of final root cause analyses" of the key factors behind the string of fires. The Silicon Valley firm has not paid "one cent" of the out-of-pocket damages and other fees Walmart faced over four of the seven fires, the document alleges.
The lawsuit does not identify the solar module brands found in the stores in question. Figures from ROTH Capital show leading suppliers to its Californian PV installations in 2016 were REC Group (35% of all module supply), Kyocera (30%), Tesla itself (11%) and Trina Solar (8%).
Walmart claims to have made one last attempt for Tesla to respond to the accusations in July 2019, giving the firm a 30-day window to shed light on blaze causes and compensate Walmart over losses until that point. Tesla, Walmart alleges, failed to deliver on these points by 15 August, paving the way for the current lawsuit.
For Tesla, the prospect of litigation and controversy comes within days of a reboot of its solar panel business, featuring a new US rental service. "With the new lower Tesla pricing, it's like having a money printer on your roof if you live a state with high electricity costs," was how CEO Musk pitched the relaunch on Twitter over the weekend.
The firm has witnessed muted solar roll-out levels in recent quarters, hitting record-low deployment figures in Q2 2019 even as energy storage reached new highs. The Silicon Valley player, which acquired SolarCity in 2016, lost in recent times its spot as the US top residential installer to Sunrun.

A team of Rose-Hulman students has put sustainability and mathematics into practice, examining how the college could reduce its environmental footprint by reducing, reusing, and recycling food waste from campus dining centers.
That cost savings could be substantial, estimated at $471.20 over the course of two days during a recent food waste campaign, and $11,781 for an entire 10-week academic quarter. The students' study has been featured at a North American mathematics conference, by Asian EngineerLive.com and on the Minitab blog.
Diane Evans, PhD, associate professor of mathematics, saw the food waste problem as an ideal candidate for a Lean Six Sigma project that students could learn in her Statistical Methods in Six Sigma course. Her teaching methods were cited in The Princeton Review's 300 Best Professors book (2012) and as the recipient of the Dean's Outstanding Teacher Award (2007).
Lean Six Sigma is a managerial concept combining Lean and Six Sigma that results in the elimination of wastes from defects, including overproduction, extra processing, non-utilized talent, and inventory.
"I wanted my students to go through the process of completing a project from start to finish," Evans, a Six Sigma black belt, told The Minitab blog. "The food waste project provided students with this opportunity, and gave them a chance to put the skills they were learning in class to use in the real world."
With Lean Six Sigma tools, 26 students set out to reduce the amount of food waste generated from Rose-Hulman's main campus dining room, located in the Hulman Memorial Student Union, during lunch.
A July 2012 article in Food Policy reports that U.S. food waste on the consumer level translated into almost 273 pounds per person in 2008. Evans' students converted this number into pounds per day, and to determine the amount of waste per meal, they divided the figure by 2.5 meals per day (breakfast didn't count as a full meal because it typically does not see as much waste as lunch or dinner).
The students ended up calculating an average food waste amount of 4.78 ounces per meal. Using this number as a standard, the class set out to reduce the edible food waste per student by one ounce per meal during the lunch period. With this goal established, the class began by learning more about the current dining center processes and food waste at Rose-Hulman.
"Our aim with this project was to reduce food waste using standardized quantitative process improvement techniques," says Neel Iyer, a recent mechanical engineering master's degree graduate and a member of the project team. "Lean Six Sigma project tools make it easy to share the hard savings and prove results statistically, while also giving others a framework to replicate what we have done."
After using Minitab software to calculate food waste measurements for lunch and dinner, students organized a campus awareness campaign to educate others about food waste. Posters, demonstrations, and seminars were conducted in the dining hall during lunch hours. They also suggested giving students smaller serving utensils for condiments, pre-dish more foods, and limit how many glasses and bowls of food or drink students could take per tray.
A statistical analysis of food waste after the awareness campaign revealed a significant reduction of 2.66 ounces of food waste per person/meal.
Because the dining hall typically serves about 875 students per day during lunch, Evans' class estimated that the food service operation could see a waste reduction of approximately 2,327.5 ounces, or 145.4 pounds during a single lunch period. During the 50 lunch periods in a typical quarter, a total of 7,270 pounds of food waste could be saved. And, since food waste costs $1.60 per pound ($0.10 per ounce) on average, the class came up with its food savings calculations.
Although the improvement efforts were short-term, Evans and her students were proud to pass on their findings to Rose-Hulman's administrators. "The administration is proud as well, and they are showcasing the results," says Evans. "They see the value, and they're encouraging follow-up projects from the Six Sigma students."

Anyone else feeling a bit restless lately? Like there's something more you're supposed to be doing but you can't quite get past all the have-to's of the day to the thing that's calling out to you? The calendar turns to March and suddenly the new year is no longer new. Days tick by like minutes and the unsung song just keeps playing quietly in the background.
I remember a worship pastor years ago talking about a "holy restlessness" or a "holy discontentment". It's that nagging feeling in your soul telling you there's more. I don't mean more stuff to buy or more accomplishments to achieve. I mean more grace and love and fullness to receive in Christ and more meaningful work and purpose to be lived out as we align our hearts with His and give Him free reign to live & love through us.
I love Francis Chan's thought-provoking words. "Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter." The hard part for me sometimes is figuring out which things truly do matter. My schedule so easily fills up, mostly with good things, and yet there's a restlessness telling me I may be letting the "good" suffice for the best.
Just read a great little book – and when I say little, I mean it looks more like a brochure than a book – called Tyranny of the Urgent. It's about how our greater purposes and dreams continually get pushed to the background because day after day "urgent" matters crowd the top of the list and leave no room for anything else. It's the email that demands a response right now, the stack of laundry or dishes or bills silently crying out for attention, the unfinished project, the request from that person you don't want to disappoint.
What if… like my friend Casey Walker says about her amazing story… "one yes became a thousand movements of God".
Can you relate? Can we get re-grounded together? I've been pressing hard into the throne room of God, seeking to sync my heartbeat with His so I'll know how to spend the precious time and resources allotted to me in this life. And as I'm doing this, one thing keeps rising to the top. Of all the things I hope to do this year, this feels like the one I can't not do. I'm putting it out there as an Inciting Incident, because once you tell someone it becomes real. Right?
For years I've been collecting information and making plans to start a QuarterLifer's workshop for stuck millennials. Assessments, coaching tools, research, stories, reflection questions, on and on. I have quite the collection sitting, unused, in a 3-ring binder. Recently it hit me this would work well in a weekly group setting and not only for quarter lifers, but for mid-lifers or anyone in a season of feeling stuck. It's a word I hear all the time in the counseling room… "I just feel STUCK." So I want to start hosting groups designed to help us get unstuck. To unclog the blockage and reclaim a sense of direction and intentionality. To become one another's cheerleaders and alongsiders as we prayerfully discover our next right step.
So there it is. Sounds so simple. That's my thing that calls out to me but keeps being swept aside, pushed to the background because the tyranny of the urgent always wins. But what if it didn't? What if that could change? What if… like my friend Casey Walker says about her amazing story… "one yes became a thousand movements of God".
What about you? What weighs on your heart and creates a holy restlessness but continually gets pushed to the bottom of the list because you don't quite know how to start or you're afraid or just too dang busy? Let's challenge each other here. Create an Inciting Incident. Tell someone. Take one step today toward making it a reality. And maybe your dream will cast a stone across the waters that creates many ripples, and my dream will do the same, and together we can make a splash big enough to change the world.
Praying for you, my friend! Pray for me too.

Alumna Reflects on Personal Growth During Med School
"I'm so grateful to have found AUC, and that's why I want to share my story," Dr. Tiwari says. "It's the best thing to ever happen to me."
Kanchan Tiwari, MD '16 had never pictured leaving her home state to pursue medicine, much less going international. But today, this AUC grad is an internal medicine resident at MedStar Health in Baltimore, and couldn't be happier with the path she took.
"I Needed to Know It Was Possible"
A Dallas native, Dr. Tiwari had always dreamed of becoming a physician. But when a round of applications to Texas medical schools didn't pan out, she assumed her dream was out of reach. She took on a microbiologist position at a pharmaceutical company and continued to shadow physicians to stay connected to the career she truly wanted, but had little hope that anything would come from it.
"I still wanted to be a doctor, but I didn't see how it was going to happen," Dr. Tiwari says. "I just needed one person to let me know that it was possible."
As luck would have it, that person happened to be one of the physicians that Dr. Tiwari was shadowing, whose son had graduated from AUC. He told Dr. Tiwari about AUC's campus in Sint Maarten and clinical rotations in the U.S., and suggested that Dr. Tiwari apply.
"I was very nervous about it at the time—the idea of adjusting to a new country while in med school," Dr. Tiwari remembers. "But when I look back, I tell everybody that those were some of the best days of my life."
Part of the AUC Family
Dr. Tiwari enrolled in May 2012—one of AUC's three start dates throughout the year. Although it wasn't the traditional September start that most medical students take, Dr. Tiwari says joining the May class was advantageous for her. In addition to smaller class sizes, she had more flexibility and time to prepare for the United States Medical Licensing Examinations® (USMLE).
"Starting in May allowed me the freedom to schedule my electives and exams in the way that worked best for me," Dr. Tiwari says. "I was even able to finish my Step 3 exam before starting residency, which is a huge weight off my shoulders now. That was one of the smartest things I did for myself."
And despite her initial apprehension to step out of her comfort zone, Dr. Tiwari found her confidence in herself growing during her time at AUC. She was making close friends, building relationships with faculty, and, most importantly, working towards a career that she loved.
"AUC has a great culture. It's a very supportive environment," Dr. Tiwari says. "I made one of my best friends at AUC, and I'm still in touch with faculty who are more than willing to offer advice and guidance, even after graduating. That support system is always there for you, whether you're a student or an alum."
Coming Full Circle
In fact, Dr. Tiwari enjoyed her experience at AUC so much that she sought out a residency program with a similar culture and community atmosphere. Having completed clinical rotations at MedStar as a fourth year student, she was familiar with the hospital and knew that it would be a great fit for her.
"I chose MedStar for the same reasons that I loved AUC," Dr. Tiwari said. "At MedStar, they care about the residents a lot. They expect us to work hard, but they emphasize our education and growth as physicians. I'm very happy to be doing what I love in a place where there's great support."
Looking back, Dr. Tiwari is thankful that she never gave up on her dream to earn her MD, even when it seemed the odds were against her.
"If you know for sure that you want to do medicine, and you put in the hard work, it's absolutely possible," Dr. Tiwari said. "I think a lot of people are afraid to take that next step like I was, and it's just not worth losing your dream over that fear."
We're currently accepting applications for AUC's January 2018 class. To submit your application, visit the Admissions Requirements page.

Picks and Ponderings's coast-to-coast coverage of three-year-old points races continues here, with the Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita.
This year marks the 80th running of the Robert B. Lewis Stakes. Previously the Santa Catalina Stakes, it was renamed in 2007 for Robert B. Lewis (1924-2006).
The race has been restricted to three-year-olds since 1964. It has produced two Kentucky Derby winners: Ferdinand (1986) and I'll Have Another (2012). This race was also the first stakes win for both Sham (1973), famously second behind Secretariat in both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, as well as 1999 Champion Sprinter Artax (1998).
Read my latest at Picks and Ponderings, see my thoughts about the Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita, and let me know your thoughts in the comments!


I LOVE working with APIs (most of the time ;) It was one of the things that I have all ways wanted to be able to do. I just had no clue how to do it, when reading through API docs they assume a certain level of background knowledge that I didn't have prior to TIY. It is awesome to think up ideas, and realize that there is a API that you can tap into to help bring your idea to life.

What's up with your team's name?
Our team is made up of a Brit, a Black guy, and a Woman. When someone in our class commented on the diversity of our team, we instantly knew what our team name would be. Working with this team has given me some great memories that I will never forget.
Up until this point we have been working solo 100% on every project. It was so weird and frustrating to be working with code written by someone else at times. I found myself spotting code written in a way that made no sense (but worked) to me. (Why did you nest 10 divs when you could have simply done X?) I have also found myself having ahh-ha momments. These would come when I would read some code that was written in a way that was more elegant than the solution I might have come up with.
I ran into a issue where something I added to a page wasn't showing up correctly. I felt that I did everything right as it worked fine in my branch, but when I merged it went bonkers. The long and short of it is that a team mate had written some global CSS rules (at the time they wrote the code, there was only one element that it was effecting so they thought it was cool.), that was messing up what I added. Had I not experienced this issue I most likely would not be thinking about what another developer may add to the code base down the road, and how my code might effect his/her additions.
I am learning so much here. I feel like I am trying to drink from a firehose. It's quite awesome btw (drinking from a firehose shooting out red Cool-Aid) !!!


A Jewish man trying to arrange the return of two Israeli casualties of Belgium's jihadist attacks, engaged in a spat with a Belgian helpline worker, Zakaria, who would only refer to the victims' homeland as Palestine.
The conversation was recorded and posted by the Belgian Jewish monthly Joods Actueel, and was initiated by a volunteer at the Jewish coordination committee of Antwerp. The caller asked about the police documents necessary for two victims of last week's airport attack to be discharged, and allowed to travel back. They are among over 300 casualties of the multiple-site suicide bombings, which also killed 35 people.
The Jewish caller immediately asks the responder's name, to which he replies, Zakaria, a popular name in the Muslim world, particularly North Africa. Later, the help center worker refuses to give his surname.
"I know the Jews went there, that Palestine welcomed them and that there is a war between Israel and Palestine, of course. And the occupation…" replies Zakaria.
As the two continue to discuss details of transportation, Zakaria persists in referring to Israel as Palestine.
Michael Freilich, the editor-in-chief of Joods Actueel, said that it "defied imagination" that a helpline operator dealing with relatives of victims of terror, would use the position as a platform to deny the existence of Israel. Freilich has labeled the conversation "an example of anti-Semite attitudes among the Arab population in the Middle East," and demanded an apology.
The helpline, run by the state authorities, said this was a "deplorable but isolated incident," and said that the operator – who it says was not a civil servant, but a hired call center worker – has been dismissed.
The incident follows several scenes at the improvised memorial to the victims of the Islamist attacks, set up at the Bourse in central Brussels, in which anti-Israeli Muslims attempted to remove, or tear Israeli flags featured in the memorial. On one occasion – at least four have been reported - the vandalism was applauded by fellow Muslim supporters, on another, Belgians stepped in to protect Israeli flags from desecration.
Surveys have repeatedly detected anti-Israeli, and anti-Jewish sentiments among Europe's Muslim population. In 2013, 57 percent of Muslims surveyed in Belgium agreed that "Jews cannot be trusted," compared to 8 percent of Christians. Meanwhile, in 2014 in neighboring France, 44 percent of Muslims agreed that "There is a Zionist conspiracy on a global scale," compared to 16 percent of the population as a whole.

Baldrick: "What I want to know, Sir is, before there was a Euro there were lots of different types of money that different people used. And now there's only one type of money that the foreign people use. And what I want to know is, how did we get from one state of affairs to the other state of affairs"
Blackadder: "Well, you see Baldrick, back in the 1980s there were many different countries all running their own finances and using different types of money. On one side you had the major economies of France, Belgium,Holland and Germany, and on the other, the weaker nations of Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. They got together and decided that it would be much easier for everyone if they could all use the same money, have one Central Bank, and belong to one large club where everyone would be happy. This meant that there could never be a situation whereby financial meltdown would lead to social unrest, wars and crises".
Baldrick: "But this is sort of a crisis, isn't it Sir?".
Baldrick: "What was that then, Sir?"

Kendrick Lamar Is The Only Rapper Around Whose Success Is Based On His Music Alone
March 21, 2016 April 3, 2016 Alex Osborne
In 2011, I was basically over rap, and over all of the new age rappers, the Gucci Manes and Waka Flockas; I was heavily into country music and re-exploring the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan when an old friend showed be Rigamortis by Kendrick Lamar.
"Don't ask for your favourite rapper, he dead," Kendrick said. At first I thought he was an arrogant, new age prick. That was, until he flowed and I found myself swaying along to the trumpets. Kendrick killed that track – I hadn't heard someone flow that hard in years. He had everything my old stuck-in-my-ways arse needed to get back into rap. I borrowed my team mate's CD and listened to the rest of the album, Section 80.
The next year, Kendrick returned with an even better album, Good Kid M.A.A.D. City. The album spawned two Grammy nominations, and although he didn't win, the album generated a series of massive hits and mainstream international fame. Then of course, came last year's groundbreaking To Pimp a Butterfly, which not only won five Grammy Awards, but has been hailed as one of the most important records of all time. Thematically, it has acted as a springboard for countless discussions about society, culture and race relations, inspired rallies and protest chants, led schoolroom poetry and discussions and much, much more. Musically, it's been lauded as genre-expanding and brilliant, welcoming jazz into the mainstream hip-hop at level unlike anything we've seen in years.
Just a couple weeks ago, Lamar surprised us all with an incredible eight-track release, untitled unmastered. This is where our argument begins. Indeed, Kendrick Lamar appears to be the only living rapper whose immense success is based on his music, and his music alone.
First, compare this release to the biggest rap release before it, obviously Kanye West's The Life Of Pablo. The minimalism of Lamar's release was almost as surprising as the drop itself. West's Twitter tirades, the endless re-hashing of track lists, changing of release dates, teasing numerous versions of songs, switching up featured guests and so on, the launch itself – not only taking place in Madison Square Garden, but live-streamed in cinemas across the world, was ridiculous. Yet it didn't feel that overbearing, really – considering so many artists having taken to extreme methods to promote albums (Rihanna's multi-year-long tease, Drake and Nicky Minaj's immediately meme-ready music videos, Jay-Z's Samsung deals, and Young Thug's funeral procession through Texas this weekend are just a handful of countless examples.)
Music marketing and promotion has shifted massively in recent years, most notably in pop and hip-hop. We've become accustomed to the overblown, the cryptic, and the downright crazy. It often seems that but the music is being shoved down our throats to push artists and releases. Love it or hate it, that's how it is. As Talib Kweli said when we spoke to him last year, "…the industry doesn't respond to talent, they respond to marketing and promotion and being able to create a brand and a buzz."
This shift is understandable, to an extent. It's extremely difficult to make people pay attention to an artist without a grabby Instagram account, or a controversial Twitter tirade, a Hotline Bling-level smash, or generally really outlandish antics. It's a shift which has drawn endless criticism for placing image, interaction and attention-demanding events above the music itself. Yet it is a necessary evil for many.
But then Kendrick Lamar dropped untitled unmastered with nothing more than a couple tweets. That was it.
The album didn't come with any promotion or advertising. Top Dawg CEO Anthony Tiffith announced that TDE would be releasing something, but nobody expected it to be an eight-track K.Dot album. Kendrick doesn't really have an overly active presence on social media, there's no video clips, the album doesn't even have a real name or track listing, and the cover itself is just plain green with a tiny bit of text in the corner.

— Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) March 4, 2016
Despite no hype (save for a slightly early Spotify leak which sent music journalists and fans alike into brief meltdown) or publicity, the album still managed to debut at the top spot on the Billboard charts, his second album in under a year to do so. Despite being pretty much the anti-TLOP, it sold 178,000 units in its first week and has been hailed by many as one of the best hip-hop releases since To Pimp A Butterfly.
This is an incredible feat in 2016. It speaks to Kendrick's immense talents, and acts as a beacon of hope, proving that fans are more than slaves to social media and catchy promotional campaigns. Kendrick Lamar has got to be one of the only rappers who can rely on naught but his talent to do the talking and boost his sales.
In the past year, we have seen more and more rappers partaking in publicity stunts, most notably social media beefs. Tupac and Biggie started one of the most infamous rap beefs of all time, and it has long been theorised that both legends were killed as a result of these beefs. What was most interesting about this beef was that it, shock horror, did not take place in the media. Instead, the beef came out on the streets, and of course, in music. Tupac released the everlasting diss track Hit 'em Up and Biggie released Who Shot Ya. The same happened with Jay-Z and Nas – Hove released Takeover and Nas responded with Ether (fortunately, in their case, nobody died). The basic result of these public beefs was still a focus on the music, with record sales increasing at the same time as – but not specifically, strictly intending to – alienate their opponent.
The history of hip-hop beefs travels far deeper than the music; it was territorial and often gang-related, a reminder that gangsta rap was actually born out of a life of gang involvement, and the real violence which occurred on the streets.
These days, beefs exist almost entirely to incite tabloid journalism and nothing more. we see Kanye and Wiz Kalifa beefing on Twitter over an ex-girlfriend. We see Azalea Banks beefing with, well, everyone, to the point where she has become more famous for her Twitter output than any music she's ever released. Her deleting her twitter account made more noise than her new song did.
Now don't get me wrong – I appreciate that social media is a very important tool is creating exposure. There would have been no Odd Future or A$AP Mob without Tumblr, no Nicki Minaj or Drake without MySpace, no Chief Keef or The Weeknd without Youtube.
Sure, there were rumours of a Kendrick/Drake beef last year, but it was no more than brief fodder, and it certainly didn't skew or lead any marketing campaigns (For the record, "A rapper with a ghost writer, what the fuck happened?" is a perfectly valid question that was more than likely aimed at a number of Lamar's contemporaries, not just Drake).
Sure, some people criticised Kendrick for featuring on Taylor Swift's extraordinarily over-hyped Bad Blood (this is another example of an antithesis to untitled, by the way – not only did the video actually premiere AT the Grammy Awards, but the video, including its multi-million dollar production and star-studded cast, was more publicised than some entire albums).
But the point is that these incidents don't push his career further than his actual music does. Without much social media presence, without controversial lyrics, without beefs, without memes, Kendrick Lamar is a mainstream star with the respect and reverence often reserved for those who thrive in the underground. As Hov famously pointed out in Moment of Clarity, "If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be, lyrically Talib Kweli."
What we're saying is that he's a really really talented guy, AND a really really successful guy. It's very rare than a hip-hop artist achieves commercial success, mainstream popularity and real respect among critics and peers.
Perhaps this is the most crucial notion: the fact that he's not only commercially successful, and not only revered and hailed as a GOAT among his peers: he is both. That is extremely uncommon, and extremely important.
He is one of the last artists alive whose recognition is based almost entirely on his actual music. In turn, he gives the rap industry a kind of credibility and hope that has been seemingly lost among so many others, for whom music often seems to be the lowest priority.
Social media is a powerful and extremely useful tool for releasing music, interacting with fans, and building an audience. There's no issue with artists who are discovered on a social platform; the problem arises when their social media output, their videos, their gifs and so on replace the music as the reason they are popular, or at the very least, talked about.
It's amazing and inspiring that Kendrick does not succumb to these vices and devices, that his talent is so strong that he has established himself as one of the most important, talented, influential, popular, commercially successful artists in the world, and he hasn't needed to toot his own horn – and that's an unbelievably rare feat. His music has become an anthem for the people, and indeed, if he were busy starting Twitter beefs, launching drink brands and becoming a human meme, his influence and respect might not be where it's at right now.
He provides hope for the future of mainstream hip-hop, the future of hip-hop fans, and the circus that is the hip-hop industry, and music in general. Indeed, his own success is proof that we gon' be alright.

One of the most interesting gift when traveling is, in my opinion, meeting amazing individuals. I would like to share a story of how a donkey started some amazing friendships. In 2010 I was still working in the corporate environment and decided that I need to plan my departure from that intense, crazy and rewarding world.
Less than one month after my leaving the corporate world, I stood, with my feet on the ground, my knees shaking, and my rational mind asking me just what was I doing with a backpack on my back, and the guidebook for the Camino de Santiago. I started my unbelievable adventure, my first ever Camino journey. Midway through the walk, I chanced upon an albergue (a place to sleep, and often eat) and was drawn by the backyard that had an abundance of grass. Later that afternoon, I washed my clothes by hand and headed out to the backyard. Much to my surprise, there was a donkey! I had seen this donkey and a group of people walking behind me. The owner approached me and handed me a piece of bread, as he pointed to the donkey. I fed the donkey, and we both walked back into the albergue. Volunteer pilgrims pitch in and help with any tasks, from setting the table, help cook or clean up after the meal. I joined in and met one of those who would become amazing friends. The conversation divided into smaller pilgrim groups, and I discovered that my new friends came from France. We were, historically, very distant cousins!
The next morning, I met the owners of the donkey and their group who were headed to the next stop. I asked if I could walk with them, having found the previous evening a great source of joy. Those of you who are reading this and have not had the opportunity or want to do a journey like the Camino (with multiple roads and options, but all of the roads leading to Santiago de Compostela) may find the next paragraph challenging to believe. I would have thought likewise before I undertook the Camino adventure.
For the next 3 weeks, we walked together, as a united group, as sub-groups, as one-to-one, and of course, with Nestor the donkey. The Camino de Santiago has existed for centuries. It served both as a personal pilgrimage and personal penitence. Millions of pilgrims walked the known roads leading to what is believed to be the remains of St James the Greater, one of the disciples of Jesus. Pilgrims undertake this personal journey for a variety of reasons. Mine was and still is, difficult to describe. The journey was a spiritual one but also one of a renewed focus on understanding how I now could serve.
During the last 3 weeks, Team Nestor (with Nestor at the helm). We bonded in ways that under standard circumstances would take years to accomplish. On the Camino, ones is more apt to share personal experiences with others. We are all on the same level – pilgrims who are headed in the direction of Santiago.
Part of a definition of friendship states "enjoyment of each other's company; trust; and the ability to be oneself, express one's feelings, and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the friend." I can assure you that the bonds we formed during those brief weeks has been growing ever since the beginning. After more than 6 years as friends, I have traveled to France twice and spent time with ALL of Team Nestor (including Nestor). All Team Nestor friends have visited me in my home in Ottawa, Canada. I've been proud and happy to share my city and surroundings with my Camino friends.
I understand Nestor doesn't like to fly, so I plan my summer travels to include visits to my friends and Nestor. The last set of friends arrived this past October and we spent 22 days together, exploring the wonders of Ontario and Quebec, enjoying the various events around the nation's capital, reminiscing and planning our next Team Nestor trip.
All this to say, when you are traveling, keep your heart and your mind open to others. One never knows who we may meet, and one of the great gifts that travel offers is the meeting of minds, of smiles, of interests and the development of amazing friendships.
And to think, my wonderful relationship with all the members of Team Nestor… started, with a donkey!
What a wonderful story! Happy travels!
Hi Shari, thanks for your comments. If I am traveling, I'm pretty much always happy!
Loved your story Sylvie. You need to frame the picture of you and Nestor!
Thanks for your comments Mary. I have quite a few favorite pictures of Nestor and I, I should make a poster or a photo book!
Super sweet post! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your comments Kristi.
This sounds like such an amazing journey! I love the people that you meet while traveling, I met some wonderful fun people when we were in Dublin and London in 2008 and Hawaii in 2009.
Hi Stephanie, Thanks for your comments. Are you still in touch with some of the people you met on your trips?
It's amazing how one thing like a donkey can start a whole bunch of wonderful happenings – good for you!
Thanks Andrea for your comments. Little did I know what amazing relationships awaited me when I approached Nestor for the first time!
This is, hands down, one of the sweetest stories! I'm inspired by your adventure and sweet Nestor!
Hi Mia, thanks for your comments. Nestor is by far one of my favorite animals. At times I actually felt he knew how we were (tired, happy, frustrated) and he reacted to us just like a dog would. I think, deep inside, he thought he was one of us! I get to see him again next spring as the group undertakes a new adventure together!
It sounds like you were more than ready for a life changing event, but wow did that take courage! I loved reading your story of inspiration.
Thanks Jen for your kind comments. I was truly ready for a chance, and it is one that I haven't regretted at all!
This is such a beautiful story. I have met so many wonderful people on my travels but none quite as special as you were able to make on this pilgrimage.
Thanks Jessica for your comments. The bonds we made while on the Camino are like none other. I really think that the magic of walking across Spain added the element of "extra" to the relationship. I would recommend the Camino to everyone!
that sounds like such a fun adventure! And I love that adorable donkey too!
Hi Dennis, thanks for your comments. I have to say that I had so many misconceptions about donkeys, and after spending lots of time traveling with Nestor, I'd have a donkey in a heartbeat – IF I had a place big enough!
I would say the best part about traveling is meeting new friends along the way and they don't have to be people all the time. It's so nice that you got to experience this journey, it's fulfilling and refreshing and I'd love to do it someday.
Hi Carol, Thanks for your comments. I truly enjoy meeting the people and the beasts as well! Although I think Nestor thinks he is a person!
What a wonderful experience you had! It makes me think of my own days of travel and all the fun memories of all the characters I met along the way.
Hi Mary, thanks for your comments. I really find the people is what makes a place!
Love this story! Being friends with an animal is a wonderful thing! They don't judge and they take you for who you are! I am of Spanish descent and raised as a Catholic (not practising anymore) so was wondering who on earth was St. James; I had to google it just to know it is Santiago indeed! Funny how names change so much from language to language!
Thanks Cynthia for your thoughtful comments. Since you are of Spanish descent, have you had the chance to visit Spain? Yes, Santiago has many names! I use the French, English and Spanish depending on what I am writing!
This is such a wonderful feel good story. It makes me smile that it started with a donkey.
Hi Jill, Thanks for your comments. It all started with sweet Nestor! My favorite donkey in the entire world!
This is such a wonderful story and an amazing journey. Oh i am so envy right now. lol!
Thanks Jack for your comments. It was truly an amazing journey. In fact, most of the trips I took have been great journeys overall.
This post is so heart warming. I really enjoyed all of the photos.
Hi Brandi, thanks for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed the photos!
Awe this is such a beautiful story. Travel experiences are truly priceless!!
Thanks Kim for your comments. Even the not as good as expected trips are priceless – we learn what to avoid, or not do, the next time around!
Hi Stephanie, Thanks for your comments. You are so right, I certainly found a renewed understanding of life during my Caminos!

Summit County volunteers to plant 1,800 trees in honor of loved ones
About 270 Summit Middle School eighth-graders visited the Breckenridge solar garden near the Wellington neighborhood on Wednesday, May 20. The field trip was a part of the Energy Explorers school program taught locally by High Country Conservation Center and sponsored by Vail Resorts and Copper Mountain Resort.
Alli Langley / alangley@summitdaily.com |
This summer, 10,000 young trees will thrive in Summit County in honor or in memory of loved ones.
Roughly 120 volunteers will participate in the 6th annual Bristlecone Foundation Legacy Forest Campaign on Saturday, May 30, when they plant aspen, bristlecone pine, Ponderosa pine, Colorado blue spruce and Engelmann spruce.
The event kicks off Friday, May 29, at 6 p.m. with "An Evening of Laughter" at the Frisco Day Lodge. Standup comedian and veterinarian Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald will perform as well as local musician Randall McKinnon, and a silent auction will feature items including gift certificates for local restaurants, golf courses and dental services.
Bristlecone Foundation development officer Åsa Armstrong said the event has already sold out.
Then on Saturday, volunteers will meet between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m., eat breakfast burritos provides by Whole Foods Market and spend the morning planting 1,800 seedlings in Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco and Silverthorne.
Donations of $20 will plant a tree in honor of a loved one, and donors can designate where the tree will be planted and then watch it grow. Volunteers aren't required to donate, and donors aren't required to volunteer.
"It's a great introduction to volunteering," Armstrong said, especially for families with children who can run around outside.
Donations support home healthcare and hospice services for uninsured and underinsured people through Bristlecone Health Services, the only provider of that care in Summit County.
"It really gives us the opportunity to not have to turn anybody away," said Rob Dewing. He added that 53 percent of donations provides care for children, 13 percent goes to adults and 33 percent goes to seniors.
The Legacy Forest Campaign has supported more than 450 patient visits in its first five years.
To purchase a seedling, visit http://www.bristleconefoundation.org or call (970) 668-8444 to donate by phone. To volunteer as an individual or group at one of the planting sites, contact Åsa Armstrong at asaarmstrong@centura.org or (970) 668-8444.
DNA analysis confirms gray wolf killed in Grand County
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Forensics Laboratory has confirmed that an animal killed near Kremmling on April 29 was, indeed, a gray wolf.
The animal was shot by a legal coyote hunter, who immediately notified Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which then notified the federal agency. The gray wolf is protected by both the federal government and the state of Colorado as an endangered species.
Colorado is part of the gray wolf's native range, but wolves were eradicated from the state by the mid-1930s. Over the past decade, the Fish and Wildlife Service has restored gray wolves into Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona, and some believe it is only a matter of time before wolves migrate into Colorado from the north and south, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
According to the Colorado Mule Deer Association, the hunter who shot the wolf immediately called the CPW office in Hot Sulphur Springs to report the incident.
A district wildlife manager responded to the scene and then brought the carcass in for inspection by other agency personnel and a biologist from Alaska, who was, coincidentally, attending the 49th North American Moose Conference and Workshop in Kremmling.
The animal appeared to be a wild, male gray wolf, weighing about 90 pounds, and it did not have a collar, ear tag or PIT tag.
The name of the hunter, who may be prosecuted, has not been released.
Last year, a gray wolf from near Cody, Wyoming, made what became a nationally-celebrated, 750-mile journey to the Grand Canyon. Then in February, a licensed coyote hunter near Beaver, Utah, shot and killed the wolf, which had been named Echo in a national contest in public schools.
Another wolf was found in Colorado in 2009, killed in Rio Blaco County by a banned poison. That wolf traveled more than 1,000 miles from Montana's Mill Creek pack.
Summit County eighth-graders visit Breckenridge solar garden
For the first time, High Country Conservation Center's Energy Explorers program brought nearly 300 Summit Middle School students to learn in-person about how a community solar garden works locally.
The program, funded by Vail Resorts EpicPromise and Copper Mountain Resort, brings HC3 employees into Summit's fourth-, eight- and ninth-grade classrooms to learn about renewable energy and energy conservation.
On Wednesday, May 20, the eighth-graders loaded onto four buses and drove to the Wellington neighborhood in Breckenridge. There, they walked through the solar garden and heard from its builders and the town's finance director and about how the panels came to be and how they work logistically and financially.
Students learned that the 2,000-panel array powers about 75 homes, and locals who own panels can sell them if they move. Most people spend between $1,000 and $4,000 to offset part of their utility bills and go six to seven years before they recoup the upfront cost and see energy savings.
Both the Wellington array and the array north of Breckenridge next to the Breckenridge Building Center were worth about $3.5 million when they were constructed by Clean Energy Collective in 2013.
High Country Conservation Center offers free home energy audits
Owners of deed-restricted homes that are at least five years old are eligible for free home energy audits through a partnership between High Country Conservation Center and the Summit Housing Authority.
The first two from each neighborhood that sign up will receive the audits, which will start in June.
The energy audits include walk-through testing to find air leaks and recommended home safety and energy efficiency improvements. After the audit, HC3 will help homeowners implement projects that fit in their budgets.
HC3 will help find qualified contractors, secure rebates and incentives, apply for loans and other financing, and track savings.
To sign up, call HC3 at 970-668-5703.
Celebrate National Trails Day on June 6
Colorado Parks and Wildlife encourages outdoor enthusiasts and recreationists to celebrate National Trails Day on Saturday, June 6, on Colorado trails.
Started by the American Hiking Society, National Trails Day is now in its 23rd year and is the largest annual trails celebration.
Officials encourage people to experience the unique panorama of Colorado while horseback riding, hiking, biking or off-highway vehicle riding on more than 30,000 miles of trails throughout the state. Accept the challenge to explore a nearby trail, learn a new outdoor skills, or support the volunteer efforts of trail organizations with friends and family.
"There are lots of opportunities to get from urban, settled areas into more remote, rural areas on trails," said Tom Morrissey, CPW's state trails manager.
The latest state recreation plan determined that Coloradans spent 250 million activity days, or almost 50 days per person, on a Colorado trail.
For more information on trails in Colorado or the trails program go to https://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/Pages/Trails.aspx or visit http://www.NationalTrailsDay.org.

The World's Biggest Smartphone Maker Is Investing $300 Million in Autonomous Car Tech
The auto and tech industries are driving us into the future together.

Yesterday, Samsung turned heads with an announcement that they will be investing heavily in the automotive industry via not one, but two new projects.
First, the company known for a variety of electronics, but especially smartphones, revealed that they have launched a $300 million fund (Samsung Automotive Innovation Fund) to back startups and other ventures helping shape the future of the industry. TTTech, an Austrian developer of automotive software, is the first recipient of money from the fund, with Samsung allocating nearly $90 million toward their projects.

That wasn't the only announcement, though. Last year, Samsung acquired Harman, a company that creates auto and audio products, and now, they've revealed that they'll be putting that acquisition to use through an initiative to develop connected auto tech.
"During this period of extraordinary transformation in the automotive industry, we are excited to play a leadership role in supporting and shaping the future of smarter, more connected vehicles," Young Sohn, President and Chief Strategy Officer of Samsung Electronics and Chairman of the Board of HARMAN, said in a statement.
Automotive Disrupt
A huge electronics company like Samsung investing so heavily in automotive ventures may come as a surprise to some, but it's becoming increasingly common for tech companies to put money into the future of this industry.
Apple, Google, and Baidu are even going so far as to work on developing their own autonomous vehicles, investing huge amounts of money into R&D and the recruiting of the talent necessary to make their lofty goals a reality.
The opposite is true as well. Many huge automotive companies are investing in tech companies. For example, GM has teamed up with Lyft to develop a fleet of self-driving taxis.
This level of significant financial investment coming from both ends is poised to greatly benefit drivers. "Automotive advances like autonomous controls and advanced driver assistance systems will have a profound impact on society — from transforming urban spaces to bringing mobility to aging populations," according to Sohn.
Clearly, this is the future of personal transport, and a spirit of collaboration and innovation is key to bringing the best product to the consumer.

Air Canada passengers describe chaos after 37 injured in turbulence
Graham Slaughter and Jeremiah Rodriguez, CTVNews.ca Staff
An Air Canada flight en route to Australia was forced to make an emergency landing in Hawaii after dozens of passengers were injured during intense turbulence.
Health officials in Honolulu said 37 people on board suffered injuries in the incident, nine of which are considered serious. Thirty patients were rushed to local hospital, including flight crew, children and elderly passengers.
Those on board described a terrifying scene in which the plane suddenly dropped with only a few seconds of warning, flinging passengers and crew across the cabin. Officials said victims sustained head lacerations and neck, back and head injuries.
The plane was travelling from Vancouver to Sydney when it encountered unexpected turbulence just west of Hawaii on Thursday morning, Air Canada said.
Flight AC033 then made an unscheduled stop at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu at 6:45 a.m. local time, where six ambulances and 50 first responders were on scene.
Passenger Michael Bailey told CTV News that when the turbulence started "a lot of people hit the ceiling" and began screaming. He said the captain warned passengers just seconds before the turbulence hit.
"It must have dropped like, 100 feet or something because everyone went up to the ceiling throughout the plane. It was pretty scary," he said.
Bailey added that a girl hit the overhead compartment and broke it from the force, and that a flight attendant working in the aisle was injured after a trolley fell on top of them.
Another passenger said it felt like the plane "whipped in the air." Fellow passenger Lachlan Coffee said he felt like the plane was going to crash.
"It was like a scene from a movie," he said. "It was really traumatic."
Jim Howe, director of the Honolulu Emergency Services Department, described the rapid response as the perfect representation of Hawaii's "aloha spirit."
"No lives lost and we're very, very pleased with the outcome," he said.
He added that most patients have been able to be in touch with family members on their personal phones.
An Air Canada spokesperson told CTV News that they were making arrangements for passengers including hotel accommodations, meals and travel options.
Aviation analyst Phyl Durdey told CTV News Channel that "this area is known for turbulence."
He explained planes are designed to "take a lot of abuse" but he said injuries can come when passengers' seatbelts aren't securely fastened.
When the plane hits unexpected turbulence "(people) hit the overhead bins and that's why you see so many people with neck injuries (and) head injuries because those people weren't wearing their seatbelts."
Durdey stressed how "vitally important" it was for passengers to have their seatbelts on during the entire flight.
Air Canada announced late Thursday that all of the injured passengers had been treated and released by hospitals. The company added that the flight was to resume Friday.

As we come to the end of the year it seems timely to use this blog to highlight some of the progress we've made in ensuring the roles of nurses and midwives - in health protection and improvement - are supported and celebrated.
It is important to note that in October two really key documents were published, emphasising the need to ensure that we prevent avoidable illness. This requires continuous vigilance in health protection and new action on health and wellbeing.
Nurses and midwives in PHE know this and have a real opportunity to provide leadership and support to the professions.
The NHS Five Year Forward View (NHS '5YFV') sets out the 'vision' developed by partner organisations (including PHE) across the health system and explains the imperative to close the health and wellbeing gap and get serious about prevention.
Because if the nation fails to get serious about prevention then our recent progress in healthy life expectancies will stall, health inequalities will widen and our ability to fund beneficial new treatments will be crowded-out by the need to spend billions of pounds on wholly avoidable illness.
PHE's From Evidence into Action: opportunities to protect and improve the nation's health highlights our 7 priority areas where evidence shows we should focus our efforts and around which we can stimulate a new 'movement for health'.
NHS England and PHE have committed to do more to support people to manage their own health – staying healthy, making informed choices of treatment, managing conditions and avoiding complications, to engage communities in health, building strong partnerships and to create the NHS and health more widely as a social movement. Nurses and midwives are central to achieving these goals.
In relation to protecting health we are continuing to take the system lead on various fronts. PHE nursing expertise has proved instrumental in the development of a national Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) strategy. Nurse/midwifery leadership needs to continue to be promoted across the system at every level. We will work with those in education, commissioning, policy, management and leadership roles to increase awareness of AMR amongst all nurses and midwives.
Our response to the Ebola international health emergency has, and continues to test our resilience and preparedness. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all PHE nursing staff for stepping up to the mark and providing expertise above and beyond their day job.
PHE are leading the response for the system alongside the Department of Health, NHS England and professional bodies. This includes joint strategic nursing leadership and this has provided us with an opportunity to develop a stronger joint voice. PHE recently attended an Ebola nursing summit in Madrid alongside the RCN and this resulted in the sharing of valuable intelligence which will ensure a resilient and evidence based approach to 'safe, ethical and high quality nursing care'.
As part of our work to deliver the national nursing and midwifery strategy under the programme title of 'Personalised Care and Population Health', nurse leaders have worked with a range of nurses, midwives, academic colleagues and services to develop an approach which provides evidence and information, raises visibility, builds engagement and commitment and links to outcomes. This enables us to demonstrate the significant contribution our professions make to prevention and wellbeing and the potential which will be vital to closing the health and wellbeing gap.
In 2014 we published, 'Caring for Populations through the Lifecourse' which sets out six activities for population health based on the domains of the Public Health Outcomes Framework. It supports practice by giving easy access to evidence-based research, guidance, standards, good practice interventions and outcome measures.
We have also supported health promoting practice through advocating 'Making Every Contact Count'.
This year we have run three more very successful weeks of action with high levels of participation within and beyond our professions. On social media we've built from 2300 Tweets with our hashtag when we launched a week on health protection in February to over 5850 Tweets for our last week this November on supporting families, children and younger people. Our week on health improvement and health promotion in June saw over 4400 people viewing our blog page!
The International Council of Nurses chose as its theme this year, 'Nurses a force for change – a vital resource for health' and WHO Europe has titled its strategic directions for nursing and midwifery, 'a vital resource for health'. In England we have made a significant contribution to realising this potential.
We would like to thank all nurses and midwives for everything that you have done in 2014 to improve and protect the health of our nation. Our very best wishes for 2015 and we are looking forward to continuing to work with you to make a real difference to population health.
Thank you for a great blog and I would like to reiterate the recognition and thanks to all nurses and midwives for the increased contribution that make to lives of many.
I wondered if the blog could have identified more with mental health and well being too. I think this is pertinent in the context of the NHS Five Year Forward View too.
Nurses and midwives play very important role for our nations peoples care.
So we all are thankful to them hearty.
