''This ancient church dates back to the time of the vikings in ireland, and was built in 1095 in the old viking settlement of oxmantown on the north side of the river liffey.
St. Michan himself, after who the church is named, is thought to have been a dublin norseman, although the records in christchurch cathedral simply describe him as an 'irish saint and confessor'.
after the normans settled in ireland, many of the old vikings moved to this part of the city, although it's not clear whether the move from their more established settlements on the south side of the river was voluntary, or if they were forced out by the conquering normans.
One of the oldest busts in the church is thought to be off bishop Samuel o'Haingli, who died in 1121, and who is claimed to be the founder of the original church.
He broke ranks with the see of christchurch, and set himself up as the unofficial 'archbishop' of dublin, for which he was severely reprimanded by anslem, the then archbishop of canterbury. the church, in fact, wasn't even recognised as an official archdiocese until 1152.
from 1095 up until the mid-17th century, st. michan's had the distinction of being the only church in dublin on the north side of the river liffey.
The present church dates back to 1685, when it was practically rebuilt, and the tall grey tower added at that time has long been a well known landmark in north dublin.
it is built from dublin calp (a local limestone) and from rubble.
the interior of the church is even more modern, and dates from 1828, when it was also re-roofed.
It is famous for two items in particular.
the first is its magnificent church organ in its gallery. this dates back to 1725, and parish records show that the totally enormous cost (for that time) of £467-7s-10d was raised by the parishioners themselves.
its claim to fame is that it was used by the famous composer and musician Handel when he came to Dublin in 1741-42 for the first ever performance of the 'Messiah'.
Now we come to St. Michan's main attraction, which lies not in the church itself, but in the underground vaults, accessed by a narrow stone stairway.
There are coffins set into niches in the walls of a long, narrow tunnel, some of which are open, and others that can only be viewed through sets of iron bars.
Many of the coffins are not sealed revealing their grisly contents.
In one of the many burial chambers lies what many visitors come to St. Michan's to see. Four remarkably preserved bodies humorously nicknamed by the Dublin people as 'The Big Four'.
The coffins are all open here, fully revealing the bodies within, which are covered from head to foot with a thick dust, and with tight, leather-like skin stretched tautly over their features.
One of the coffins contains the remains of a man with one of his hands and both feet amputated. Some researchers maintain that he suffered this fate because he was a thief; others say it was simply because the coffin was too small for his torso, and the feet were cut off to make the body fit!
There is the mummified corpse of a woman on his right, and on the left the mortal remains of a nun.
Perhaps the most 'famous' of the corpses is at the rear. It's the body of a man who has been cut totally in half in order to fit him into his coffin. For many years, it was maintained that this was the body of a Crusader, but recent research seems to discount this claim, as the vaults only date back to around the 17th century.
Some people have objected in fairly strong terms to bodies of the dead being displayed to the public in this fashion, but as the Church is urgently in need of further funds to help finance an extensive renovation programme, they are liable to remain on view for some time yet.
The last room also contains some corpses of interest.
These are of the Sheare brothers, who were put to death by the then ruling British after they took part in the Fenian rising of 1798.
Their coffins were opened during the celebrations to commemorate the Rising in 1998, in order to replace them with new ones, and only then was it discovered that the brothers had suffered the then common punishment that Britain imposed at that time for treason; they had been hung, drawn and quartered.
What is remarkable about the 'mummies' is that the bodies have remained in such good condition for such a long period of time.
For a time it was put down to the very high concentration of lime in the area, but this is the case in many other parts of Dublin also, and in no other church vaults in the city has this phenomenon occurred.
It is now thought that the very dry atmosphere may have played a part, as well as the fact that vaults in St. Michan's Church lie below the bottom level of the Liffey River, thus making them drier.
The graveyard of the church contains the graves of some other notable Irishmen.
Oliver Bond, who also took part in the 1798 Rising is interred here, as is the mathematician William Rowan Hamilton.
Now it appears I'll be visiting soon - not so much the church as the dead bodies. Apparently you can shake hands with the dead crusader, or you could in the past, so I'll see how that goes!
We have a place like that just south of the border in Mexico. This village has large numbers of its dead preserved as mummies and they are on display for the paying tourist. It seems the hot desert air did the trick. Most of the dead are from the 1880's and 1890's and are wearing their "Sunday best"; it was the clothing I found most fascinating. I did not visit this place but saw photos of them from a book; as for how it came to be I do not know but probably simply happenstance as in that Dublin church you describe.
Provided they let you, you'll have to let us know Scathach how that handshake goes. They say you can tell a lot from the firmness of a man's handshake, even a dead man's.
Apparently they came to be so well preserved from the extreme dryness of the air (or almost lack thereof) beneath the Church.
I've heard that flowers placed upon the coffins of the Sheare brothers are still preserved today which is amazing!
We shall all await your report with baited breath!

Q: Can converting macros to .exe, bypass Outlook blocking macros on my work computer? I have a macro which is used for a personal inbox in Outlook.
I used the macro once at work through the VB editor. The second time I tried to run it (using the F8 key), Outlook blocked the macro from been implemented.
My organization has disabled the macro settings options in the Trust Center due to which I cannot change the security settings.
Can I convert these macros to .exe files to bypass this security of Outlook? Will any change have to be made to the code of the macros so it will work in .exe format?

A: You should be able to convert to VB6. VB.Net will probably be more challenging.
You might also want to think about converting to a COM add0-in instead of a standalone exe. http://www.outlookcode.com/ is a good place to start.

Well it has been a crazy four weeks, but tomorrow I will be flying out of the states and heading back to Zambia. It was rather strange being back home but it was good to see so many people. Believe it or not but I think that I had more culture shock coming back here than when I arrived in Zambia some 14 months ago. Much is the same but a lot has changed at home in the time I've been gone.
This was my first time to meet my nephew Zimmie and he is a load of fun. I can't wait to get back next year and spend more time with him.
I also got the chance to go to the wedding of one of my best friends, Mark. This was my first time meeting his wife Tara and I think Mark is a lucky guy.
I have past the half way mark on my Peace Corps journey. I know that this next year is going to go by really fast and I can't wait for all the adventures.

Valkyria, a steel dive coaster created by Bolliger & Mabillard, took its maiden flight on 10 August, representing the largest ever investment made in Swedish theme park Liseberg's 95-year history.
A US$33.6m investment, which also includes Loke – a Gyro Swing manufactured by Intamin – Valkyria is a key part of the park's long-term masterplan. Its name is derived from the Norse mythology creature Valkyrie – a mythological creature that took fallen warriors into the afterlife.
"Valkyria is important. It is the biggest investment in the history of the park – and one of the most complicated projects we have completed," Liseberg CEO Andreas Andersen told Attractions Management.
Climbing to 47m with drops of up to 50m, Valkyria includes three inversions and is laid out over 700m. The ride, which reaches speeds of up to 65.2mph, replaces Kanonen – a US$5.6m steel launch coaster from Intamin, which was dismantled at the end of 2016.
African for 'Duel', the Tweestryd twin shuttle coaster is a new addition to the Wildlands Adventure Zoo in Drenthe.
A story-driven "adventure zoo" opened in 2016 to replace its home of 80 years, Wildlands houses more than 7,000 animals along with its rides to tell a story of discovering new worlds and experiencing adventure.
Joining the hybrid attraction's 'Serenga' area, themed to recreate the savanna and desert habitats of Africa, Tweestryd opened to the public in March.
Installed by RCS GmbH and manufactured by Vekoma as a custom version of its family boomerang-style coaster, Tweestryd is 218m in length, with the ride reaching heights of 20m and going as fast as 37.3mph.
The story of the attraction is that of a mine which closed 40 years prior. It features two separate tracks sitting next to each other, with passengers being lifted up backwards, before being released launched forwards and then backwards again in a race back to the station.
Following the theme, when riders race each other, depending on the result, money will be committed to the charity ActionAid, which works to fight poverty and injustice worldwide. If the blue cart wins, riders are supporting the charity's work related to fair mining, and if the red one wins, riders will be raising money for sustainable agricultural projects.
A new addition to Poland's Energylandia, Hyperion is an Intamin-manufactured steel hyper rollercoaster, which takes the crown from PortAventura's Shambhala as the tallest and fastest hyper coaster in Europe.
The ride, which opened to the public on 14 July and follows a sci-fi theme, climbs 77m, with a drop of 80m, reaching maximum velocity of 88.2mph.
It starts inside a space station setting with a research team (the riders) sent on a research mission to Saturn's moon of Hyperion. The crew's spaceship enters a black hole, passing through space and time into another universe.
The track extends 1,450m, creating feelings of weightlessness and extreme gravity through the ride's twists and turns. It also features a water splash and has two trains, each able to carry up to 28 people.
Hyperion joins three Intamin water rides installed at the park this year. These include the Speed Water Coaster, the Anaconda spillwater ride and the Jungle Adventure river rapids.
Opened on 7 July, Toverland's new Fenix coaster is the "ultimate flying experience", according to its operator.
While the mythical firebird the ride is named after only rises from its own ashes every 777 years, the steel wing coaster runs a little more frequently, taking one minute and 45 seconds to complete its circuit.
Covering 813m and climbing 40m, the coaster includes three inversions, reaching speeds of up to 59mph and creating the sensation of flight.
Elements of the ride include a dive drop, immelmann loop, helix and a Zero-G roll. IMAscore created the ride music, while RCS GmbH installed the US$19.7m attraction.
Fenix joins several new attractions as part of Avalon – a new themed area for Toverland representing the largest expansion in the park's history. A total investment of US$40.6m, Fenix is joined by Merlin's Quest – a water attraction that passes underneath the coaster – as well as an interactive magic show.
With its expansion, Toverland has stated its ambition to break the one million visitor mark over a full season. The park's owners plan to increase the length of stay with further ride developments, as well as the opening a four-star hotel resort.

A wonderful festival in a miraculous city. You never know whether to enjoy the city and to miss films or to see films and to miss the city. (At least you can enjoy the parties at night in a tent at the Copacabana beach.) Films are not so much shown as celebrated: it's a joyful experience to see how enthusiastic the public reacts to Brazilian films shown in the central festival cinema, the downtown Odeon. Fest director Ilda Santiago managed to make the festival the first place to premiere Brazilian features and docs. And then there's "the rest", over 400 films altogether, finding an open-minded young public — the panorama of world cinema or, in particular, the series of Latin American films. Rio: a feast for the cinema.
Also, a place for discussions. FIPRESCI and the Festival invited to a well attended conference on documentary films (with Miguel Littin, José Padilho, Joel Pizzini and Joao Luiz Vieira). And we launched a new prize, for the best Latin American film of the year, to be — from 2006 onward — decided by the critics of the continent, and presented at the Rio Festival, for the first time at next year's edition. At the presentation of this new prize, Fernando Solanas, the legendary Argentinean filmmaker, received our lifetime achievement award. (k.e.)

Ways To Generate Electricity Use Turbines
how do power plants work? how do we make electricity?
a power plant's job is to release this chemical energy as heat, use the heat to drive a spinning machine called a turbine, and then use the turbine to power a generator (electricity making machine). power plants can make so much energy because they burn huge amounts of fuel—and every single bit of that fuel is packed full of power.

Bolton 2 Manchester United 2: Super sub Michael Owen salvages point for Red Devils with late leveller
Still got it: Michael Owen celebrates after scoring the equaliser
Michael Owen rescued a point for Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson's men twice had to come from behind against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.
Owen nodded home Nani's free-kick 16 minutes from time to ensure United did not join the other victims on a weekend of shock defeats.
Yet it was hardly a pleasing outcome for Ferguson, who would have hoped for better once Nani levelled Zat Knight's early effort but instead saw his team fall behind again thanks to Martin Petrov.
As United have now conceded nine goals in five league games and trail leaders Chelsea by three points, it was not the best of weekends for them, nor an out-of-sorts Wayne Rooney, who was replaced by Federico Macheda half an hour from the end.
Saturday's results could not have worked out any better for United and the intent behind their attacking play was obvious from the first kick, but defensively they remain unconvincing.
The absence of Rio Ferdinand with Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Valencia in mind was a further indication that all is not well with the England skipper. And without him, life continues to be a struggle.
A late goal at Fulham, two in injury-time at Everton and a Steven Gerrard brace against Liverpool last weekend when the Reds did not have a single shot of note in open play during the entire game is not a record to be proud of. To that crime sheet can now be added Knight's back flick.
The defender's third goal in as many years could not be described as conventional. But once Patrice Evra moved away from the far post he was supposed to be patrolling when Petrov curled over his corner, the target was wide enough for him to steer the ball into once he had escaped the attentions of Jonny Evans.
That United would score themselves was never really in doubt such was their dominance of possession in key midfield areas. The problem was whether they would concede again in the meantime.
Edwin van der Sar was forced to make a couple of vital interventions as Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander made their presence felt, with Evans not looking entirely comfortable.
At the other end, United's play was incisive and both Giggs and Rooney wasted decent chances. The manner of the visitors' equaliser would have come as a disappointment to Owen Coyle.
Nani deserved plenty of credit for his ambition as he set off racing towards the Bolton goal from inside his own half. However, the Trotters defence just kept inviting him to run and the Portuguese winger had got to the edge of the area before he drilled an impressive shot past Jussi Jaaskelainen.
In fairness to Bolton, it was something of an aberration given how well they had done at closing down space around their penalty area and forcing United into pumping a succession of crosses into the box.
It was a tactic United persevered with after the interval and eventually resulted in the substitution of an ineffective Rooney half an hour from the end.
Rooney's work rate could not be faulted on his first appearance away from Old Trafford since the storm erupted over his private life. But he does not threaten at the moment and now Owen has taken his tally to three in a week, compared to one for Rooney – from the penalty spot – all season, an interesting selection dilemma looms for Ferguson in Valencia on Wednesday.
Owen was not even on the pitch when Petrov put Bolton back in front, exploiting more poor defensive work to step inside Park then rocket a shot past Edwin van der Sar that flicked off John O'Shea.
The introduction of Federico Macheda did result in an opening for Berbatov but it took Owen's deft near-post flick for the far corner from Nani's free-kick to bring United level.
A late onslaught was expected as United hunted the winner. But it did not actually materialise, with Elmander, who had wasted an excellent chance to seal victory for Bolton before Owen scored, steering the final opportunity wide as well.

Are you familiar with the saying, "There's no use in crying over spilled milk?" The bottom line is, crying won't "unspill" the milk. Many fraudsters seem to shed a couple tears when they are facing a judge who is ready to sentence them for their spilled milk. According to an article in The Times-Picayune, one fraudster found herself in a little trouble over spilled oil, not milk.
I'm sure this fraudster will come crying to the stand, claiming she is sorry for her actions following the oil spill. If I were the judge, I'd tell her? "There's not use in crying over spilled oil, or the disaster fraud that comes with it." Grab a cookie, a glass of milk and prepare yourself for jail.
Source: Today's "Fraud of the Day" is based on an article titled, "Slidell Woman Pleads Guilty to Wire Fraud in Aftermath of BP Oil Spill," written by Heather Nolan and published by The Times-Picayune on April 19, 2013.
A Slidell woman who claimed she was a cook at a seafood restaurant and had lost her job as a result of the 2010 Deepwater Horizondisaster pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to wire fraud, admitting she received money after wiring false earning statements to a disaster assistance organization, according to U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente's office.
Keishandra Houston, 36, faces up to 20 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and up to a $250,000 fine when she returns to court for sentencing on July 25.

The Quantity of Presidential Polls and the Quality of Marketing Research
For me, someone who loves MR and is entertained by quantitative measures, the data is wonderful and fascinating. I find reading polls a bit like reading football or baseball statistics, except there is a lot more at stake than a single sports game.
Dr. Bruce Isaacson
Tuesday 23 October 2012, 7:33 am
At the time I am writing this post, it is October 18, 2012 – less than three weeks before the upcoming election. More than any other election I can remember, the 2012 presidential election has been characterized by a growing overabundance of polls, poll results, and survey-based predictions about which candidate will prevail on November 6.
Whether this is good or bad depends on your perspective. For me, someone who loves research, enjoys surveys, and is entertained by quantitative measures, the data is wonderful and fascinating. I find reading polls a bit like reading football or baseball statistics, except there is a lot more at stake than a single sports game or even a World Series title.
Some though, find the abundance of polling data overwhelming, and worry that it may distract their candidate, or even an opposing candidate, from following their true positions on key issues. Worries about polls are compounded by the lack of agreement from one poll to another, and even within some polls from week to week.
This post provides a primer on presidential polls to explain what is happening, addressing questions such as "Are there really a lot of polls or is it my imagination?" Or, "Why are there so many polls?" And, "Why don't they all agree?"
The same trends that have made survey data increasingly available in presidential elections have also made survey data ubiquitous in many companies, through reports such as market research studies, customer satisfaction surveys, tracking studies, and market segmentation studies. Later in this post I'll explain why a similar set of trends have made more data available in both contexts, and why, whether dealing with a presidential poll or a research study, it is more important than ever to understand how the data was gathered, and how to separate the trends from the background noise.
So many polls, so little time…
A complete list of polls that track the 2012 presidential election would be very long. For example, Reuters/Ipsos surveys 11,000 people per month, asking questions that cover the presidential race and a host of other issues. The poll data is presented in a convenient interface called the American Mosaic Polling Explorer.
The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, which describes itself as both independent and non-partisan, regularly publishes poll results. Rasmussen Reports publishes a daily presidential tracking poll, which relies, for better or worse, on a survey of likely voters. CNN, not to be outdone, has its own Polling Center, with sections covering a wide variety of issues for the 2012 election in the many-windowed formats we have seen in some CNN broadcasts.
These days, the rising star of the polling world may be the New York Times' FiveThirtyEightBlog. Named after the number of delegates needed to win the presidency, this blog provides data culled from a variety of sources, as well as some of the best writing I've seen anywhere on the subjects of polls and data analysis. Every day Nate Silver updates each candidate's chance of winning, along with other predictions at the national and state level. (Well, almost every day. Mr. Silver did not provide an update yesterday because he was the featured guest on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart".) In the 2008 presidential election, Mr. Silver correctly predicted the winner of the Presidential contest in 49 of 50 states (missing only Indiana), and correctly predicted the winner of all 35 Senate races that year.
I could go on. This list is not exhaustive – there is also the Gallup poll, Washington Post/ABC News poll, the NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll, and many others.
Why are there so many presidential polls and why don't they all agree?
There are, I believe a few reasons behind the increasing availability of survey data and polls in elections:
There are many more news outlets. The 2012 election is covered by broadcast networks, cable networks, online news organizations, and a host of other reporting entities. They all have space to fill, and they've found polling a useful and concise way to explain a presidential election, which involves very complex issues. Polling helps explain who won a presidential debate, or whose message is getting through.
People like it. Like it or not, I believe polling is here to stay because people enjoy the ease and simplicity of reading polls. I'm not the only one who enjoys watching polls the same way I enjoy watching sports scores. After a debate, I'm interested in finding out how the interaction I just watched affects likely voting patterns.
The internet has made it possible. The internet is a radical innovation that is still evolving and has changed polling in a number of ways. The internet makes polling much more feasible, because many polls are conducted online or augmented with online data. Also, the internet has shortened the news cycle – many of us now carry the internet in our phones or on our tablets, so we can check polling data in many more places, creating greater demand for polls.
The election is close. The election in 2012 has been relatively close, particularly since Mitt Romney's campaign was re-energized with the first debate. Obama and Romney have generally been within a few percentage points of each other in the popular vote, and neither candidate has displayed an insurmountable lead at any point. Any close match is always more interesting to watch.
The campaigns have led the way. The campaigns were early to understand polls, and they know that, like it or not, polls matter. Campaign staff and spokespeople have led the way in using public opinion surveys to develop campaign and communications strategies, and communicating the results of polls to support their positions. Pollsters such as Frank Luntz have moved across assignments on behalf of campaigns, the media, and the private sector.
The presidential polls don't all agree because they are not all conducted in the same manner. Some polls rely on likely voters, others rely on all respondents. Some polls are conducted online, others by phone. Different polls weight their data differently across demographic groups or across political parties. Timing also varies across polls, both in terms of when they are conducted and whether they rely on data collected in a short period of time (such as a single day or week) or rolling in over a longer period of time.
On top of this, each poll has its own margin of error based on factors such as sample size. Given all these differences, it's a wonder we don't see more discrepancies across the various polls. You can read more about the differences across polls in a recent article from CBS News.
Shared lessons for presidential polls and commercial marketing research
My firm is in the business of providing organizations with data about their customers. Like presidential polls, in my business I've watched data become increasingly available in organizations through vehicles such as marketing research reports or customer satisfaction surveys. In fact, it is not just presidential elections and marketing research where data has become increasingly available – according to IBM, 90% of the world's data was created in the past two years.
Data about markets and about customers is now available from a wide variety of sources, including marketing research reports, customer satisfaction surveys, social media, and all the customer data that companies now collect in the course of doing business. However, the core lessons about using this plethora of data apply equally well to presidential polls and marketing research.
As the availability of data has grown, it is not just the numbers that matter, but where they came from. Yes, it is increasingly easy to gather data, but are the numbers reliable? For example, pollsters and survey takers are finding today that consumers and customers are busier than ever, making it more important to have respondents who are engaged in the data collection process so that they provide meaningful results.
The wise consumer of information for presidential polls or corporate initiatives will pick and choose their sources carefully. Those who support one candidate can always find a poll that says their candidate has the momentum, their party is winning, or their initiative will pass. That doesn't make it true. Similarly, managers can always find survey data that suggests customers are satisfied, product launches are succeeding, or brands are growing.
Occam's razor suggests that in a sea of data, the best approach may be the simplest, finding a simple set of measures that are easy to understand, and can track or explain the election, market, or customers in question. In presidential elections that has often been the President's approval rating or the jobs reports. For some customer satisfaction studies, that measure has been Net Promoter. For some concept tests, it has been purchase intent.
Whether it's a presidential election or corporate initiative, the core principles of marketing research are similar. Make sure you know the source of your numbers, and choose carefully among the many measures that may be available to you.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post. Thank you very much indeed!
I did stop short for a second in your use of Occam's razor to call for "a simple set of measures that are easy to understand […]", including (and, my interpretation) promoting the infamous Net Promoter Score (NPS). I'd argue that this connection is feeble: While NPS is indeed easy to measure and track over time, it does come with a set of dubious approaches to interpret the data (I am thinking of the "detractors" who state they'd be unlikely to recommend a brand/product/…).
Occam's razor, so tells us Wikipedia, "is a principle stating that among competing hypotheses, the one which makes the fewest assumptions should be selected." NPS does offer hypotheses on how customers will behave in the future (e.g., "Promoters will be loyal to/will repurchase the brand/product/…"), but it does make a number of assumptions.
My sincere apologies for this rant – just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the post, yet got stuck on the Occam's razor thingie. Somehow, the latter bit took up more space than I thought it would.
Pingback: Is Market Research Reliable? | GreenBook
Harry Wolhandler says:
You've overlooked one of the most fundamental reason for fluctuations due to overpolling, especially in the contested "swing states" – the sample pool is shrinking due to non-response bias. As a New Hampshire resident and declared independent, after getting 1 to 3 calls a day for polls and political candidates, we stop answering the phone for unrecognized numbers. Overpolling means that firms are increasingly working hard to gather a significant sample, and the people who respond are increasingly those who are tolerating polls.
The result? Pollsters are only speaking with Likely Voters Willing To Take Part In A Survey, not Likely Voters. The best example is the WMUR Granite State Poll, conducted by the UNH Survey Center, a fine organization, but one week reported the democratic candidate for governor up by 9 points, and the next week the republican candidate was reported to be up by 7 points, and there were NO major changes in the race in that period.
Pollsters need to look beyond margin of error and review other sources of structural sampling bias when populations are as overpolled as ourse is.

Jewish Education and the Pandemic
Authors: Pomson Alex, Wertheimer Jack
Jewish day schools are in the news. Some of the attention comes in the form of negative publicity about health risks that schools in the more insular sectors of Orthodoxy have taken to keep classes in session during the COVID-19 pandemic. On a more positive note, day schools with a more modern orientation have received praise for doing an unusually good job of helping their students get through the spring lockdowns—and, where possible, for how rigorously they planned and executed reopening the current school year. Their efforts seem more successful than those of many public and nonsectarian private schools. These achievements have not been lost on parents, including some who had not enrolled their children in the past but over the summer showed new interest. Why day schools have done well and what parents are seeing when they give them a second look is a story that can be understood only in the context of their significant, yet largely unremarked, educational transformation over the past two decades.

Lost School Year Could Lead to Damage for Decades, Israeli Expert Says in Report
Authors: Dattel Lior
Many children may face long-term damage from losing a year of schooling, and this may translate to long-term economic damage, primarily to those from the lower classes. This is the central argument by education economist Nachum Blass in a position paper attached to a report by the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel. The report was published Wednesday.
HaYidion - Prizmah's Journal of Jewish Education: Remodeling
Authors: Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day Schools
The articles in this issue demonstrate that, remarkably, day school stakeholders are continuing to dream about their schools, their community, and their craft—and doing so with more intensity and vibrancy than ever before. All of the training, the regular preparation, the professional development and investment in change that schools made before Covid are showing their value now palpably, "in the sight of all the people" (Exodus 19:11). Even as they work to create solutions to the challenges of today, they have an eye to the future, trying to anticipate which changes will bear fruit—which "castles in the air" may acquire a "foundation"— in a post-Covid world.
In tech times we still need to invest in people
Authors: Greenaway Joanne
In September, the London School of Jewish Studies is introducing a new programme combining leadership skills and Jewish studies. The Teach to Lead programme, based on the Teach First model, will develop high-calibre Jewish studies teachers across primary and secondary schools. The new cohort will be tasked with re-envisioning Jewish education for the 21st century to ensure we don't only replicate old methods and approaches but bring new perspectives and solutions. They will have the opportunities to learn from practitioners around the Jewish world. They must be able to think creatively about what our young people need today to respond to Jewish ideas and how to nurture thinking Jews who are strong in their identity, knowledgeable about their heritage and passionate about their Jewish faith.

The Jewish Schools of the Future
Authors: Cohen Eric
The crisis is real, and there is no virtue in ignoring it. The pressure on day-school leaders and boards is relentless, and the immediate question is how to keep our existing educational institutions afloat. But the strategic challenge is to imagine "the new normal"—including the new possibilities—born of this multifaceted crisis. In short: how do American Jews—and Americans in general—eventually turn this tidal wave of disruptions into (as the great social thinker Joseph Schumpeter put it) "a gale of creative destruction" in the Jewish education sphere? Looking beyond the current crisis, can we fashion new models of Jewish schooling that are intellectually, culturally, and economically stronger than ever? And can Jews serve as a light unto other traditional communities in America, who face similar challenges?

Going Forward to School
Authors: Mitzmacher Jon
The simple truth is that we don't know when we will return to school. We are hopeful that the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year will take place in our classrooms. We know that at some point in the future that we will return. But as Heidi Hayes Jacobs recently said, "We have to start thinking about how we don't go back to school, but how we go forward to school." This extraordinary moment we are living, teaching and learning through will eventually end, but it would be a huge mistake to go back to school as it was when we have an opportunity to go forward to school as it ought to be. Here are four ways we should begin thinking about going forward to school.

Jewish Educators Will Be on The Frontlines of the Recovery
Authors: Bryfman David
The Jewish community, like most of the world, still does not yet know when the current crisis will end. We can, however, begin to think about parts of our life that will be different after this period than they were before. For Jewish education specifically, thinking ahead is critical; it will fall to Jewish communal and educational organizations to bring the Jewish community back to life, and to revitalize it so that it can emerge even stronger. We accept that our world will look different in a post COVID-19 era; there will be mourning for what's lost, but new things built as well. So, I am starting to imagine a better future.

Jewish Creative Sensibilities: Framing a New Aspiration for Jewish Education
Authors: Heller Stern Miriam
Proponents of building a "creative society" through educational innovation are calling for engaging learners in new modes of collaboration, problem solving, and original thinking. How might the enterprise of Jewish education contribute to this evolution in creative thinking and action? This article explores how "the Jewish sensibilities" can be adapted into a framework infusing Jewish "ways of seeing and being" into a vision of "Jewish education for a creative society." The proposed conceptual framework aims to spark conversation, experimentation, research, and inquiry within the broader discourse of rethinking the aims of Jewish education for the future.

Bay Pines VA Center recognized for work with LGBTQ community
Published on March 29, 2017 in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by Les Neuhaus
A leading global human rights organization is honoring Bay Pines VA Healthcare System as a "Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality" among nearly 600 hospitals participating in a national survey.
A representative for the facility, officially known as the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center, announced the award Wednesday.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer civil rights organization, based their findings in the 10th edition of the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI), reflecting on a decade of progress in LGBTQ health care.
"Our designation as a Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality for the fifth year in a row is a true reflection of our commitment to providing all Veterans with high-quality, equitable health care services," Jason Dangel, public affairs officer at the facility, told FloridaPolitics.com Tuesday. "More simply, all veterans can expect to receive the same level of care regardless of sexual orientation, preference and gender identity. This approach to care is reflected in our local policies and through the work accomplished by our dedicated health care professionals every day."
A record 590 health care facilities actively participated in the HEI 2017 survey. Of those facilities, about 45 were VA medical centers. In addition to active survey participants, the HRC Foundation proactively researched key policies at more than 900 nonparticipating hospitals. For those included in the HEI, 302 earned a "Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality" designation.
"We are extremely proud of being recognized as a national leader in health care equality by the HRC for the fifth year in a row," Suzanne M. Klinker, director of Bay Pines VAHCS, said in a statement. "The designation received from the HRC demonstrates our commitment to equitable, inclusive care for all Veterans and aligns with our strategic goal of becoming a 5-star organization in health care quality and customer service.."
Other VA facilities recognized by HRC in Florida include the Miami VA Healthcare System, Orlando VA Medical Center, and James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital located in Tampa.
The 10th edition of the HEI implements new criteria that raise the bar on what it takes to earn HRC's "Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality" designation. For the first time ever, HEI participants are given scores in four criteria that represent how many policies and best practices from each section they have implemented: foundational elements of LGBTQ patient-centered care, LGBTQ Patient Services and Support, Employee Benefits and Policies, and LGBTQ Patient and Community Engagement. Participants that receive the maximum score in each section for a total score of 100 points earn the coveted status of "2017 Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality."
In the 2017 report, an impressive 302 facilities — 51 percent of those actively participating in the survey — met the more challenging criteria to earn this designation. Another 145 facilities received the "Top Performer" designation for scoring from 80 to 95 points. With 76 percent of actively participating facilities scoring 80 points or more, it is clear that health care facilities are going beyond the basics in adopting policies and practices in LGBTQ care.
Of the hospitals who did not participate in the HEI but were scored based on research, only 61 percent have policies that include both "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," and only 52 percent were found to have an LGBTQ-inclusive employment nondiscrimination policy. The equal visitation policy, at 95 percent, is the only one that comes close to matching the rate of the participating facilities.
"The 2017 HEI reminds us again that though we have made tremendous gains over the past decade, there is still much more work left for us to do. With some of our biggest battles still ahead of us, it is crucial that institutions continue to demonstrate that the march toward full equality is not slowing down," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "The 590 participants in this year's HEI continue this march in partnership with the LGBTQ community. For the past decade, the HEI has been the road map to closing the gap in ensuring equal care to LGBTQ patients and their families, and we urge every health care facility to join us in this continuing effort to provide inclusive care to all."

You are here: Home / Jewelry / What a Pair!
Elise took a nap! Longer than 49 minutes!
Well, what is an over-tired Mommy to do when she doesn't want to start another bachelorette party craft for her little sister or get an early start on dinner?
Make a pair of earrings, of course!
My sister left her jewelry-making kit over here months ago and to be honest, I had forgotten about it. I saw it sitting there today and couldn't resist. I just knew I could craft myself a simple pair of passable earrings quickly.
Hmm… I'm not going to lie: I have forgotten everything little sister taught me about making jewelry. I only have so much room in this brain box and I need it for important stuff, like where the cliff-hanger left us in the last season of Dr. Who. I mean, come on – a nerd girl has to have her priorities straight.
I set out my – erm, her – supplies.
I did remember that there were stages and each stage had to have a different long, skinny post-like-thing to hang from.
First – and easiest – step: done.
Next stage is to add an accent bead on the post: done.
I'm thinking to myself that at this rate I will need to actually get that jump start on dinner because I'm going to be done in no time!
I will say this: crafting an earring isn't hard. It is crafting a MATCHING earring that will result in such mounted frustration that you want to crush that first earring as if you were Godzilla on a rampage!!
After a slew of swear words said in a butterfly's whisper and a good bit – read metric-f**k-ton of re-fashioning that stupid little, long, skinny post, I finally gave up… Settled on… I finished it! Woo-hoo!
Besides, no one will be looking that closely.

'It is so commendable that you give of yourself and your time to care for others'
A message of thanks for the Chief Nursing Officer for Northern Ireland, Charlotte McArdle
Charlotte McArdle
It is the end of another year and a time to reflect on 2015. I want to take the opportunity to thank every nurse, midwife and healthcare support worker for their commitment, dedication and high standard of care provided to the population in Northern Ireland.
Every one of you has an important part to play and an important contribution to make in the delivery of a professional and compassionate nursing service.
I want to especially thank all staff who are working during the festive season. It is so commendable that you give of yourself and your time to care for others, which allows the HSC and other sectors to be confident that patients and clients are receiving the best care over the festive season.
"I want to take the opportunity to thank every nurse, midwife and healthcare support worker for their commitment"
For many it will be an especially busy time dealing with emergency or unplanned care, people in crisis and those who are vulnerable. I am both very proud and very appreciative of you being there.
Looking forward to 2016 we all know the challenges will continue both for the service and the professions. Our system will remain financially challenged and our profession remains challenged to continue to provide quality care in a changing and complex environment.
But in the face of those challenges there will be opportunities.
The Minister for Health Mr Simon Hamilton MLA has signalled his intention to create a culture of innovation driven by the need for reform and improvement. He has said he wants Northern Ireland to provide a world class service and he is making plans to progress this.
"I believe nurses are in a good position to lead and drive the changes that are needed"
This will require all of us to show strong clinical leadership and in doing so influence the model for care going forward. I believe nurses are in a good position to lead and drive the changes that are needed. Our focus on improvement must be relentless and using a model for improvement like Triple Aim ensures we deliver change that is patient or client focused, provides value and contributes to the health of the population.
Nursing must continue to be flexible and change to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
One such challenge is our contribution to "Making Life Better" our public health strategy in Northern Ireland. Nurses have a crucial role to play and we must work hard to ensure every contact count regardless of the setting.
"I believe every nursing interaction is an opportunity to improve health outcomes"
I believe every nursing interaction is an opportunity to improve health outcomes. This needs to happen in communities, in schools, in homes and in hospitals.
I want to recognise the challenges from a workforce perspective regarding recruitment and retention of nurses. This problem is not unique to here and through Central Nursing and Midwifery Advisory Committee we are developing ways to improve this, which I will feed into the Department and the Minister for consideration.
I am very pleased that Northern Ireland is revalidation ready. I am looking forward to continuing to work with the Nursing and Midwifery Council to ensure the process goes smoothly from April onwards. It is a positive development for nursing and midwifery and demonstrates our commitment to articulating the unique contribution of nursing and midwifery as professions.
For now though I want to wish every member of the nursing and midwifery team in NI a very happy Christmas and my best wishes for the New Year.
Charlotte McArdle, chief nursing officer for Northern Ireland
'Despite difficult circumstances, nurses strive to create a festive atmosphere'
Would the duck fit? Well, it would have to.
Would it be enough? Well, it would have to be.

Many Gen Xers and boomers are single and ready to mingle, but boomers are looking more for companionship rather than marriage, finds the results of a new survey from AARP.
The online survey of 1,482 single men and woman aged 38 and older found that 78 percent of Gen Xers and 62 percent of boomers are open to dating if they are not currently in a relationship. But both groups found meeting a compatible mate challenging, especially with newer technology including the popularity of online dating.
Friends make the best matchmakers, with chance meetings coming in second.
The terms "girlfriend" and "boyfriend" are used by both generations of daters.
Most opt for traditional first-date outings of dinner, lunch or coffee, but Gen Xers are also game for unique outings and experiences.
At the start of a relationship Gen Xers are twice as likely to text a romantic interest than boomers.
For more on the dating behaviors of Generation X and boomers, read the full study results.
