Missmanaged Theatre was co-founded in 2017 by Rachel Harper and Catherine Chalk, and is committed to celebrating female artists. Tired of reading statistics of all the theatres that, yet again, programmed seasons with no female directors, playwrights, designers (the list sadly goes on), we have decided to take matters into our own hands. At Missmanaged, we aim to create well rounded, fully representational theatre, particularly focusing on taboo topics and under-represented voices, and at the helm of every production is an all-female creative team.
We want our work to have a life both on and off the stage, so alongside each Missmanaged production we will be holding a range of workshops, scratch nights and showcasing opportunities inspired by the topic of our current production. We hope to create collaborative, supportive spaces for female artists to develop and showcase their work, whilst encouraging discussion and conversation around the subject of our plays.
We have exciting times ahead of us, so keep your eye out for opportunities to get involved. And remember that whatever the work, it'll be managed by the Misses!

Tahoe Convoy now serving all North Lake Tahoe communities; looks to reach South Lake by June

Tahoe Convoy brings passengers from the Bay Area and Sacramento to and from Lake Tahoe for weekend trips.

Tahoe Convoy is a new luxury weekend shuttle bringing Bay Area residents to Lake Tahoe, traveling eastbound on Friday night and returning westbound on Sunday night. Visit http://www.tahoeconvoy.com for more.
Following a successful maiden voyage earlier this month, a Bay Area-to-Tahoe luxury transportation service is expanding its stops to include the entire North Shore. And the company hopes to expand to South Shore by June.
Tahoe Convoy officially hit the road on Feb. 2, as the Tribune previously reported. The luxury transportation system is the brainchild of Greg Riessen, a Bay Area native who came up with the idea for luxury carpool out of necessity after countless trips to Tahoe since his childhood.
"My whole life I've been driving to Tahoe for the weekend and frustrated with the lack of transit options. If you want to go Friday night after work there is no transit, if you want to ski Sunday and leave Sunday night to go home there's no option," he said.
On that first trip, which only stopped three Tahoe-area locations, Tahoe Convoy shuttled 20 passengers from the Bay Area.
"We're looking to do 25 on the next trip, I think that's pretty good for our first run," Riessen said ahead of the second run on President's Day weekend. "It's been a lackluster winter needless to say, so I think that's holding back ridership a little."
That first run was good enough for Tahoe Convoy to add a slew of stops across the North Shore, including: Soda Springs; Truckee Downtown; Alpine Meadows; Tahoe City Grove; Dollar Point; Carnelian Bay; Tahoe Vista; Kings Beach; Crystal Bay; Incline Village Central; and Incline Village Hyatt.
That opening run also was good enough to add a stop in Sacramento.
Tahoe Convoy is unique in that it leaves the Bay Area on Fridays and returns on Sunday, allowing weekend warriors visiting Tahoe to leave their cars at home.
Once passengers arrive in Tahoe they are encouraged to take advantage of area public transportation.
"(Tahoe Convoy) makes sense to us, we think it's a good idea and we're curious to see how the convoy is received by users," said Carl Hasty, district manager of the Tahoe Transportation District TTD).
Hasty said the district's plan is to increase the frequency of service for local public transportation and to develop a better internal system to the basin that can handle increased access from travelers.
"We are developing more connections for that purpose, so people can get around without their cars. They also, of course, have the ability to walk or use bike trails once they're here," Hasty said.
For the time being, the service is running on select weekends — the next departure date is March 2, according to Tahoe Convoy's website. The hope is to gradually expand that.
"The vision is to run every weekend all year," said Riessen.
The vision also includes expanding to South Shore, something Riessen says he hopes to make happen by June.
He said it's difficult to convince people who've always driven to Tahoe to leave their car and ride local transit but that the luxury transport system sees success when paired with local transportation options, such as those offered by TTD.
"The convoy is starting up with the North Shore, we look forward to success there and moving to the 50 corridor and South Shore," TTD's Hasty said of future convoy plans.
For those looking to book travel or suggest additional stop points, Riessen directs passengers to his website, http://www.tahoeconvoy.com.
"People can respond online with their requests for new shuttle locations, when they vote for a location they can put their email address to be updated on new routes, dates, and service information," he said.

Supply Chain Optimization A Global Automotive Manufacturer Abstract As the North American vehicle market demand decreased for a major OEM, company leadership was under pressure to place their long-term business into a smaller number of strategic supplier locations. The goal was to ensure the longer-term viability of these suppliers as partners to the OEM as well as to minimize raw material and finished part logistics costs. Challenge The decreasing product demand levels were driving reductions in plant asset utilization for core OEM suppliers. The OEM had sourced in excess of 250 commodity-specific suppliers to support its North American vehicle production and felt a sizable reduction in that number was required. TPS worked in tandem with the OEM to determine which suppliers were the best performing and lowest cost, therefore best aligned for future OEM programs. The eventual reduction in the numbers of suppliers provided a short-term cost impetus as well as long-term sustainability. Execution TPS developed a supplier database encompassing all OEM vehicle programs, purchasing contract terms, and geographical alignment to assembly facilities. Every supplier was analyzed based on product volumes, complexity and the duration of time their programs were set to run into the future. TPS reported the results of the analysis to the OEM so that a business case could be established on each supplier under review. The final analysis included the supplier's current operational and financial performance.
During the second phase of the optimization project, teams were engaged to physically analyze OEM-owned production equipment and in-house supplier tools that were scheduled to be phased out. At the same time a separate team was deployed in order to analyze each retained supplier. We reviewed their production equipment and assets; niche processes and their performance in these areas to better understand the extent of their current capabilities. The supplemental information collected was used to establish resourcing priorities. Result Each of the "grow" suppliers were awarded enough transfer business to ensure volume and profitability over the next 24 months. The OEM generated a major reduction in transportation costs as well. This resulted in a 48% reduction in the size of the supply footprint across the commodity for the OEM.
Decommissioning and Launch Management A Global Automotive Manufacturer Abstract A large allied automotive supplier had become an economic liability for a major original equipment manufacturer. TPS's Managing Director was tasked with decommissioning this tier 1 supplier and relaunching all the current production with seven new suppliers. The recommissioning cycle had to be completed within 12 to 16 weeks from the tool and equipment move date. Challenge The decommissioning work involved two facilities that produced 3,000 production and service assembly part numbers as well as numerous specialized additional components. The team was also assigned the task of launching these products in a cadence with 7 new suppliers worldwide. It was imperative that the start date for the takeover suppliers' production be timed with the depletion of the original supplier's banked material. Project leadership was given 7 months to bank all components and assemblies in addition to decommissioning the two original plants. Execution Our Managing Director developed a staged banking plan encompassing all variations of assemblies and components. These re-launches were timed by component and assembly part numbers to ensure banked materials were consumed and process validation was successfully completed. After supplier PPAP work was complete, PTR's were done on every assembly in each of the applicable auto assembly plants. Once all tasks were complete, the new suppliers entered into steady state production from their newly validated production processes.
The new supplier's production locations had undergone capacity and constraints analysis. In many instances new molding machines had been purchased and installed in anticipation of these business transfers. Other suppliers receiving business transfer tools had open floor space for used equipment. The project team was able to broker deals between the exit supplier and the new suppliers for used equipment. The transferring IMM's and other equipment was moved along with the tooling in many instances.
Tools were transferred in most cases, many tools required bolster plate additions and modifications so they could run efficiently in the new supplier's equipment. The product launches were staggered, the plan was to start production on products by family, allowing 6 weeks between families at each new supplier location. This allowed the new suppliers to work through their launch issues product by product without their resources being over taxed. Result The project was completed on time and utilized only 30% of the allocated budget. There were no disruptions to schedule from the takeover suppliers, as all products were again launched without issue at more than 20 customer assembly locations.
The Assembly plants were frequently minutes away from shutting down production due to the lack of components.
TPS was to identify all issues impacting the focused supplier's ability to deliver product on schedule and develop corrective actions around these problems.
- Many suppliers in the value stream had been given unclear deliverables.
- Many suppliers were not producing parts that met design intent.
TPS was to assist the supplier's in developing quality and production processes that would ensure production volumes and quality requirements would be met going forward.
Implemented an interim product containment process for several suppliers to ensure the manufacturer did not experience plant interruptions with the associated components.
- Established communication between the suppliers and the assembly plant.
assembly plant as well as for the tiered suppliers.
Result Within two weeks sub supplier issues were stabilized, the supply of on-hand material began to increase, and production build schedules were met and maintained. The on-hand inventory of good material at the assembly plant for these focused suppliers increased from less than one day when TPS was engaged to almost five days after working with these suppliers for four weeks.

It's a regular swarm of activity in the gardens at Juniper Level Botanic Garden today on so many levels. First, this gaggle of honeybees decided to vacate their dwelling is search of better digs. Right now, they're gathered on an alder, waiting on a community organizer to arrive and direct them further.

As of 2014, Google had 200 Terabytes (TB) of data. (1 TB = 1024 GB.) That's just 0.004% of the total Internet! What this means is, the amount of information in this world is beyond our human comprehension. But, strangely enough, our probability of success is dependent on the quality and quantity of information we posses.
Tell me, then, how can a single person, even, think of being successful, on his own?
My mother had taught me/ forced me 😉 to share, when I was a child. I would ask her why; and, she'd just say that, that is what good people do. Intuitively, she knew that this behaviour will help me in the future.
Sharing is a vital component of COLLABORATION. And, collaboration is the only method by which businesses can achieve greatness in current times.
You can easily hold a small thing in your own hand. But, if you want to hold a much larger thing, you need multiple hands (collaboration). This applies to business, too.
A great business requires insights from different fields coming together to implement a common vision. Even at Placetime, our vision to build: "a world where majority people create great memories for others" can be achieved only by collaborating with great businesses and individuals who share this vision.
Not to mention, the invention of many great products that we enjoy (without, perhaps, giving due credit) is a result of collaboration.
Even the proper functioning of a human body is a result of collaboration among millions of microscopic organism living inside our bodies!
Team-mates should be requested to cooperate with others, and compete, only, with themselves.
Ideas should be analyzed, not criticized.
Create a safe place for people to be able to feel comfortable sharing anything.
As mentioned earlier, our probability of success is dependent on the quality and quantity of information we posses. Considering we are just humans, we can't do this effectively without having external partnerships. If you are a small business, the college student who put up your website is your partner. So is your vendor, software providers, etc.
And, trust is a result of shared values and beliefs (Personal culture).
Communication should be transparent and truthful.
Do not hesitate to show vulnerability (this helps to create strong bonds).
Now, you may ask, how does this make sense if you have college students or such "part-time professionals" for partners. This leads to my next point. In today's world, it is wise to partner with the experts in a field. The amount of value they can offer, in the long run, would be hundreds of thousands of times more valuable than the cost-benefit that the part-time professionals may offer.
There is a Ted-talk which talks about the future of businesses. The speaker says that the 1st industrial revolution replaced human power (now, electricity is doing what humans used to do earlier). The 2nd industrial revolution would replace human intelligence.
The vast information on the Internet cannot be processed by humans, even if we bring together millions of people to work on it, 24/7. But, the same thing can be done, easily, by few computers using Artificial Intelligence (AI). A software that can read through piles of documents and come up with inferences. A software that can help you to identify whom to pitch when. The possibilities are endless!
Essentially, every business of the 21st century, who wants to remain in business for a long time, must implement some aspects of AI (especially, Machine Learning). Or, at least, they should collaborate with great partners who could help them with it.
So, are you ready for the 2nd industrial revolution? Or, do you have a partner who can help you?

Q: replace dollar amount with 0.00 with regex-replace Seems pretty simple but i'm having problems coming up with a good method to do this.  This should be possible with the regex.replace in .NET VB...  Sorry but I'm fairly rookie at Regex...
I have a long string with contains a sales receipt.... I do not want to display the dollar amounts under certain instances, so i want to replace all amounts with 0.00 before displaying the string. ie.
original string:
Order Details:
    item one
        1 @ $33.99  $33.99
    item two
        100 @ $3.99 $399.00
    item three

A: Regex
\d+\.\d{2}

Debuggex Demo
Description
This will find all your numbers then simply replace with 0.00
If you wanted something that found the $ symbol as well the below regex would be right:
^[+-]?[0-9]{1,3}(?:,?[0-9]{3})*\.[0-9]{2}$

This finds groups of 3 with , as well however that isn't what your example showed.

A: See this:
What is "The Best" U.S. Currency RegEx?
Replace on this expression: [+-]?[0-9]{1,3}(?:,?[0-9]{3})*\.[0-9]{2} and you'll get what you're looking for.

A: This should do the trick.
Regex.Replace(input, "[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}", "0.00");

See working demo

A: use this pattern (\$)[\d.]+|(otal:)\s*[\d.]+ with g Option

I especially like the statement of the Fish & Game Commission commissioner deciding to block the sale of genetically modified pet fish: "For me it's a question of values, it's not a question of science."
Aren't Californians lucky they have the Fish & Game commissioner deciding their moral questions for them? I'm acutally curious if it's within the job description of the commissioner to make values-based decisions. It seems that once the product is declared environmentally safe it should be in the hands of some constituent-accountable body to make values decisions.
And where is Arnold in all of this? Is this the kind of less-government-approach Californians can expect from him? Just curious.

Diane de Poitiers (titre original : Diane) est un film américain réalisé par David Miller, sorti en 1956.

Synopsis
À la cour de François I, la comtesse Diane de Brézé vient défendre la tête de son mari soupçonné de complot contre le roi. Elle obtient finalement sa grâce en acceptant de prendre en charge l'éducation du prince Henri, dont le roi déplore les mœurs grossières ; le jeune homme ne s'intéresse selon lui qu'à la chasse, aux chiens et aux chevaux. Parallèlement, François  a arrangé le mariage du prince avec la jeune Catherine de Médicis. Pourtant, avant que celle-ci n'arrive à la cour de France, Diane et Henri sont, malgré leurs 20 ans d'écart, déjà unis par une liaison passionnée, à 38 et 18 ans. D'emblée, Catherine de Médicis déteste sa rivale, mais doit supporter sa présence constante auprès du prince, même lorsque ce dernier, sous le nom d'Henri II, accède au trône après la mort de son père et de son frère aîné. Victime d'un accident au cours d'un tournoi, Henri meurt le . Le pouvoir revient à Catherine de Médicis. Dès lors, le sort de Diane est aussi entre ses mains…

Absolut, Cult and Crane.tv Instigate Second Phase of #ANightForChange
By newsroom on December 21, 2017 Comments Off on Absolut, Cult and Crane.tv Instigate Second Phase of #ANightForChange
On 27th September 2017, #ANightForChange brought seven artists around the world together during one night to shine a light on the issues affecting their communities – from gender equality to racism – using creativity as a tool for positive change. However, there were meant to be eight artists.
The week before, an earthquake struck the La Roma-Condesa community of Mexico City, where the artist in Mexico – Meteoro – was meant to paint. The people of La Roma-Condesa were left devastated and have spent the time since rebuilding their homes and sense of community.
Now, more than ever, they're in need of an uplifting message of unity – a show of global solidarity in their struggle. This instigation act is about showing that the community is not forgotten whilst also bringing a sense of rejuvenation to the area.
Meteoro's new artwork takes this situation into consideration – inspired by the strength and beauty of La Roma-Condesa. Artists from the previous global act in the UK and Canada – Liverpool's BetaRok75 and Vancouver's Emily Gray – travelled to Mexico City to join her in this cause. They offered their support for positive art in the community by painting alongside her.
Beyond these murals, Absolut supported an event on 14th December to coincide with the unveiling and to celebrate the area by involving local food and cultural partners from the community. At the heart of this cause was the drive to bring people back to the neighbourhood that was Mexico City's thriving cultural centre. Creativity was used to spread a positive message of strength in unity and the community celebrated those who have done so much to rebuild this area already.
Meteoro was commissioned for this project. A Mexican artist, she has worked in the music and fashion worlds and is known for her mural paintings in Berlin, Copenhagen, Barcelona and Mexico City. The walls made by the artists are on the corner of Durango and Mérida Streets in the La Roma neighbourhood for the next two months. Everyone visiting La Roma is invited to join the movement, have fun and share the message that it's time to reactivate the economy and keep spreading a positive message of strength and unity.
The entire project was devised by Cult with Absolut Mexico and produced by Crane.tv.
Constantin Bjerke, Founder and Executive Producer at Cult comments: "Having witnessed the terrible destruction the earthquake had on such an amazingly vibrant area, we were thrilled to be able to do something to help the community re-unite. Absolut are such an inspiring client to work with and it was a wonderful experience to see how art and commerce can re-engage a community and bring a glimpse of hope and healing to the area."
On December 14 at 7 p.m. the final touches were given to the work and Absolut invited media and influencers from the area to show the final result.
At the "Fiesta de Cambio" (festival for change), Absolut hosted the night, inviting attendees to be part of two activities that seek to continue with the creation of pieces of art. There was a street food dinner in the style of the La Roma-Condesa neighbourhood with music by DJ PapiPerez and DJ ESA MI PAU (who closed the event).
The food was provided by El Beso Gastronomía Huasteca, a business in the area that served typical Mexican food and Ojos Que Sienten Foundation. The foundation is focused on training and developing the human potential and skills of people with visual disabilities.
"In this piece I want to represent the power of being connected from the deepest root, when it is most needed. The circle represents unity and the two animals are the dogs that at this moment in Mexico are a symbol of love and loyalty to the neighbour, illuminated by a bright flame of empathy to connect with each other.
At the bottom of the design, there is a collection of rocks that represent the rubble, from which arises a rainbow transmitting the power with which humanity can shine if we take the adversities as lessons. The complete design is framed by a series of symbols and tribal forms, which remind us of the healing power of ancestral wisdom," revealed Meteoro.
"The piece I want to create is about regeneration, energy and colour. Use of many varied and bright colours represent life in all forms. The energy comes from the speed in which it was painted and the regeneration from the space it will live in! I'd like people to enjoy the colours as they walk by and reflect on the previous look of the wall. I hope it will make people think how even a little addition of colour can affect mood," commented BetaRok75.
"My piece is about the fragility and resilience of nature and global unity around environmental issues. The strength and adaptation of desert rose succulents, the near extinction of axolotl – but their amazing ability to regenerate limbs – brought to life in vibrant Mexican colours. This all represents the spirit and unity of the community," said Emily Gray.

The World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report 2018 highlights alarming gender gaps across various sectors, with highest disparities being in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) sector. UN Women and UNESCO are working with partners around the world to close the gender gap in STEM fields and digital technologies, through addressing gender stereotypes, and increased promotion of investment in teacher trainings and gender-responsive technology and innovation.
SAfAIDS joins UN Women, UNESCO and the rest of the world in commemorating this Day; highlighting the gender gaps in education, professional training and employment, as well as celebrating the ground-breaking contributions continuously made by women and girls through scientific research and innovation across the STEM sector. SAfAIDS joins like-minded global and regional stakeholders in promoting women and girls' access to and participation in science, through advocacy for increased opportunities for women and girls in education at all levels, including higher, tertiary and professional skills training in STEM. As this Day is commemorated this year, there is a need to highlight the lived realities of women and girls and the daily struggle for gender equality across generations, continents and professions, including limited access to education, particularly in STEM and the ongoing battle for entry, retention and reintegration into STEM jobs, especially after maternity leave. It is critical for all stakeholders to collectively create and increase sustained opportunities for women and girls to fully realise their potential, and call for the active recognition and harnessing of their full talent and skills.
SAfAIDS remains committed to promoting gender equality and improving education and mentoring opportunities for women and girls; fully recognizing increased positive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) outcomes for women, as a result of women and girls' increased participation in science and technology over the years. Through the Regional Young People's Leadership Academy, SAfAIDS continuously aims to develop and nurture the capacity and skills of adolescent girls and young women in research; fostering a generation of young women interested in scientific research, improving HIV and SRHR responses, among wider public health responses and innovations. Additionally, through the regional Transforming Lives programme, SAfAIDS is piloting MobiSAfAIDS, a mobile application set to improve access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services. The mobile application was developed by a female-led team, and is being spearheaded by a team of young people (over 60% being female) across 6 countries in the SADC Region, using ICT to strengthen effective and ethical development responses.
As we commemorate this day, let us renew our commitment for amplified collective advocacy towards gender equality through increased education and employment opportunities and inclusion and meaningful participation of women and girls in STEM. Additionally, let us continue to celebrate trailblazing women and girls who have contributed to innovative research, invention and improvements in science and technology across all sectors.

The objective of the study was to adapt the aspirated air bag system to the crashworthy small car front seat passenger. During the first year's effort an aspirator air bag system was designed and developed. Tests with the aspirator air bag system produced data which satisfied the injury criteria for the full range of adult dummy sizes through the 45 MPH crash speed range. Test results indicate that the system did not present a hazard to the forward, out-of-position child and that the results also satisfied the injury criteria for the normally seated 6 yr. old child size dummy through the 45 MPH crash speed range.

What the CIA Could Learn From the U.K. Government Apology Over a Libyan Rendition Case
By Cori Crider
Monday, June 11, 2018, 8:00 AM
Abdul-Hakim Belhaj and Fatima Boudchar were my clients. Belhaj led a Libyan Islamist group that sought to overthrow Moammar Gadhafi; Boudchar, a Moroccan citizen, is his wife. The CIA abducted them in 2004 with the help of Libya and the United Kingdom. CIA officers roughed them up at a "black site" in Thailand—a year and a half after Gina Haspel, recently confirmed as director of the CIA, had reportedly shut down the Thai site code-named "Cat's Eye"—and shipped the couple to Gadhafi's Libya. At the time, Boudchar was heavily pregnant.
Not every CIA officer will have heard of this case, brought in U.K. courts as Belhaj v. Straw. But every officer in MI6, one of the CIA's closest partners, certainly has. MI6's second in command at the time came within a whisker of being prosecuted for his role in the operation. The case caused a rift between Britain's foreign intelligence service and its domestic intelligence agency. Internal documents that were later published show that MI5 frankly assessed that the operation was self-defeating: It turned a national revolutionary movement against the West. And after years of litigation Prime Minister Theresa May apologized to the couple last month.
As time passes and the CIA reflects on the early operations, and outright mistakes, of the "war on terror," will the agency make a clean break with the past—or maintain its silence? This couple's experience offers important lessons for the agency's next generation.
A Historic Apology
A week before Haspel's confirmation hearing last month, Britain's attorney general, Jeremy Wright, stood up in the House of Commons. Fatima Boudchar was in the public gallery. Beside her was her son, Abdurrahim, the child she was carrying when she was "rendered" to Libya in 2004. Her husband watched the proceedings by livestream from the British consulate in Istanbul.
The U.K.'s senior law officer read an astonishing apology from the prime minister, saying in part:
Your accounts were moving and what happened to you is deeply troubling.
It is clear that you were both subjected to appalling treatment and that you suffered greatly, not least the affront to the dignity of Mrs Boudchar, who was pregnant at the time.
The UK government believes your accounts. Neither of you should have been treated this way.
The UK government's actions contributed to your detention, rendition and suffering.
The UK government shared information about you with its international partners.
We should have done more to reduce the risk that you would be mistreated. We accept this was a failing on our part. ...
On behalf of Her Majesty's government, I apologise unreservedly. We are profoundly sorry for the ordeal that you both suffered and our role in it.
This is the most comprehensive apology to date in the war on terror. It made only the slimmest concessions to diplomacy: for "appalling treatment" read "torture," and for "international partners" read "CIA." And the apology came from the chief U.S. partner in the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance.
Public officials are generally loath to admit error. If apologies are offered, they tend to come after the protagonists are long gone. Not this time, though getting to this point was a protracted and painful process for the U.K.
Perhaps counterintuitively, the apology did Britain's reputation a lot of good domestically and in the Arabic world. By admitting a mistake, the U.K. government improved its public standing. Belhaj's response was magnanimous: "Britain has made a wrong right today, and set an example for other nations to follow."
What should intelligence officers take away from this couple's ordeal?
Lesson No. 1: It won't stay secret forever.
The world learned about this operation because of the NATO-backed Libyan revolution. Belhaj, a dissident, led the battle for Tripoli, working closely with NATO. In September 2011, after the city fell, resistance fighters and Human Rights Watch found a cache of intelligence files in the abandoned offices of Moussa Koussa, Gadhafi's former external spy chief. The archive offered a detailed picture of relations between the CIA, MI6 and Gadhafi's spy services.
It is no longer safe to assume that what happens in a far-flung dungeon will stay there. Someone will leak, a regime will fall and a record will survive. Secrecy is temporary. The footprints of CIA activity are more durable and more easily found than ever.
Lesson No. 2: By refusing to call torture torture, by hanging on to rendition and by partnering with agencies that torture, the CIA has isolated itself from essential allies.
"The CIA follows the law," Haspel said during her confirmation hearing. But whose law? A gulf has opened between the CIA's position on treatment of prisoners and the moral and legal view of every democratic ally of the United States. In the U.S., it has been common to focus on unusual techniques used by the CIA: waterboarding, rectal rehydration, forcing detainees into "coffin-like" boxes and so on.
But that misses an important point: CIA practices well short of this—including the infamous "five techniques" used by the U.K. in Northern Ireland (prolonged wall-standing, hooding, stress positions, sleep-deprivation, and deprivation of food and water) have long been deemed torture in European jurisprudence.
Form your own view after reading Fatima Boudchar's description of what CIA officers did to her:
I have no idea how long I was in the Thai secret prison because no one would let me sleep. The cell was white and stark, with nothing in it but a camera and hooks on the wall. The masked abductors were waiting. I was terrified. They chained me to the hooks. Because I was midway through my pregnancy, I could barely move or sit.
Some of what they did to me in that prison was so awful I can't talk about it. They hit me in the abdomen just where the baby was. To move me, they bound me to a stretcher from head to toe, like a mummy. I was sure I would shortly be killed.
For the rendition flight to Libya, I was taped to a stretcher again. The tape caught the corner of my eye. It stayed that way, my eye taped open, tears streaming down my face, for more than 14 hours.
This is by no means an exhaustive account. Some abuse was so degrading that Boudchar declines, to this day, to discuss it in public.
Theresa May was right to call this "appalling treatment." Will CIA officers be asked to do anything like this again? During her confirmation process, Haspel said that detention and interrogation were off the table—but the CIA still views rendition as an option. In the U.K., rendition has been unlawful since at least 2000 (R v Mullen). Getting foreign partners to run secret detentions (or torture) in the CIA's stead is as unlawful—and risky—as the CIA running prisons of its own.
Lesson No. 3: Alliances made renditions possible, but renditions will make those alliances more fraught.
In the Belhaj case, the crucial fax found in Libya showed Sir Mark Allen, second in command of MI6 at the time, taking credit for the operation: "I know I did not pay for the air cargo," he crowed, "but the intelligence [on Belhaj] was British." Like virtually every rendition case, foreign intelligence assistance was critical.
British and European agencies will be more leery in the future because this incident sparked a multiyear Scotland Yard investigation. Police interviewed more than 65 government witnesses and recommended that Allen be indicted. Prosecutors declined to charge him, citing insufficient evidence; a legal challenge to this decision was pending when the government apologized to Belhaj last month. While Allen escaped prosecution, the regular presence of detectives in the MI6 headquarters at Vauxhall Cross has left its mark.
Lesson No. 4: Not all courts are, or will be, as deferential to the security state as federal courts.
The U.K. Supreme Court unanimously ordered a trial of the claims, rejecting the government's lengthy appeals. The U.K. had sought to have the case dismissed, citing arguments unfamiliar in British law that more closely resembled a U.S. Justice Department defense brief in a national security case (foreign act of state, arguments about state secrecy, and so on). All of these arguments failed. Multiple judgments from the European Court of Human Rights—two more just last week—make clear that judges across Europe, British and European alike, think that torture, and complicity in torture, is unlawful and actionable.
What are the long-term questions and consequences for the CIA in all of this? Certainly, CIA officers were under immense strain after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Yes, people genuinely feared another mass-casualty attack. Yes, the CIA's political masters asked the agency to take on burdens for which it was wholly unprepared. And yes, some congressional critics probably knew more than they now like to say. The failures of that time are not the CIA's alone.
But the CIA's steadfast refusal to admit what the free world agrees on—that the agency tortured prisoners and that some of the prisoners it tortured were innocent—hurts its credibility. In hindsight, it is clear how the CIA approached the Haspel confirmation process: The agency did a head count of senators and decided it did not need to engage these issues.
That worked well if one's only metric is having a career intelligence professional (and not, say, Tom Cotton) head the agency. But the CIA works abroad. Its global image matters. And over the longer term this stance will harm the U.S. interests officers join the agency to defend.
The CIA faces two problems. One is that Haspel's directorship in a Trump presidency raises political and legal hurdles regarding intelligence sharing for European and Five Eyes states. These issues will probably be litigated, not merely at the level of individual detentions or historic cases but on the more consequential level of sharing signals intelligence (SIGINT) too.
The second issue is recruitment. All the SIGINT in the world is not a substitute for hiring a diverse cadre of officers to run innovative operations or having human sources in terror groups. How will the CIA recruit young Muslims as officers and agents if people think the agency is prepared to stoop to tactics used by the Arab world's worst despots? Sure, money talks—but for many, values talk louder.
It is not too late to do better. A genuine reckoning is the best way to heal the reputation—and effectiveness—of the CIA. For one thing, fewer groups will pile on an agency that is remorseful and admits to having learned lessons. Even the American Civil Liberties Union reacted to the Senate torture report by calling for pardons.
The CIA's stance is understandable in today's political climate. With such a volatile president, junior officers are no doubt relieved to have one of their own as boss. But one of these days, an officer will again be asked to do things that won't look good in the cold light of day. Next time, the situation won't involve the pregnant woman rendered to the North African dictator. It will be something else. Those rising through the CIA ranks ought to consider which side of history they want to be on and where the long-term interests of the agency truly lie.

Consumers Union, long a trusted name in rating consumer products, has launched the "Web Credibility Project," which will try to measure how well websites disclose business relationships with the companies and products they cover or sell, especially when these relationships pose a potential conflict of interest.

Back in the heady days of the dot-com bubble, writes Martin Kady II, "enthusiastic folks in the public relations world could really work up a lather about their tech clients. In promoting the new new thing, these publicity machines would exercise all manner of hyperbole -- and the public and business press would fall for it hook, line and sinker. " Nowadays, most of the PR pitches he receives attempt to put a brave face on disaster or invite him to write about profitable companies that are exceptions to the rule.
"Very marginal" is the way Steve Lett, president of a now-defunct dot-com company, describes the result of his company's initial experience with public relations.

One year and $125,000 later, PaperStudio had gained a paltry 15 clips for its press kit.

Watch an octopus disappear into "quicksand" on the sea bottom
The southern sand octopus (Octopus kaurna) whips up some seafloor "quicksand" lined with mucus and burrows into it to rest during the daytime. From New Scientist:
(University of Melbourne researcher Jasper) Montana and his team first caught the octopus in the act of burrowing in 2008 when they were scuba diving at night in Port Philip Bay, south of Melbourne, Australia. When they shone a light on the octopus, the startled animal spread out its arms and repeatedly injected high-powered jets of water into the sediment using its funnel. This caused grains of sand to be temporarily suspended in water, making it like sandy water.
"The sediment became fluid like quicksand," Montana says. The octopus put its arms into the sand while still pumping out water and eventually dived down into the sediment. The liquefied sand is likely to reduce drag and so allow the animal to burrow more quickly, using less energy, Montana's team speculates....
They (later) found that the animal used its arms and mantle to push the sand away and form a burrow. It also extended two arms to the surface to create a narrow chimney to breathe through. Finally, it secured the walls of its new home with a layer of mucus that kept the grains of sand together so the entire thing maintained its shape.

An indigenous focus on startups
The Queensland government believes it's on the right the track to helping reduce the disadvantage gap among Indigenous Australians.
But Kamilaroi man Dean Foley – the founder of Australia's first ever Indigenous Startup Weekend and Indigenous startup accelerator Barrayamal – begs to differ.
"Besides Startup Weekend in August last year, we've received nothing from the Queensland government. They like to come to our events… [but] I've had more conversations with the NSW government than I have had with the Queensland government," Mr Foley said.
Dean Foley: Founder of the first Indigenous Startup Weekend says support is hard to find
Last year, when Mr Foley launched Australia's first ever Indigenous Startup Weekend, $13,500 in funding was provided by the Queensland government under the Advance Queensland Young Starters' grant to help stage the event.
But due to the lack of funding and support from both government and industry, according to Mr Foley, the successful event will not be returning this year.
In September, the state government reaffirmed its commitment to help Indigenous Australians as part of its Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships 2016-17 annual report.
The report said during the last financial year, 385 Indigenous-owned businesses secured an estimated $270 million in state government procurement, an increase by around $100 million from the previous year.
"Through a number of new initiatives, we are starting to see an increase in partnerships, business opportunities and jobs for Indigenous Queenslanders, and we want to boost that even further," said Mark Furner, Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Islander Partnerships.
"In 2016-17, our government continued to create more employment opportunities through a variety of programs, which saw my department facilitate 1074 job placements – more than double its target."
Further, the state government announced last month it will increase its total contracts with Indigenous businesses under the whole-of-government Queensland Indigenous Procurement Policy to 3 per cent by 2022 – an underwhelming figure given the state government's total target to buy local is 30 per cent under its multi-billion dollar Buy Queensland procurement strategy.
"I'd love to stay in Queensland because there's been a lot of great work … but we have absolutely received no support from the Queensland government," Mr Foley said.
Mr Foley's pursuit to help Indigenous Australian was born out of his own experience, growing up in a low-socio economic family in the rural NSW town of Gunnedah, and it wasn't until joining the Royal Australian Air Force did things begin to change.
"I never knew what was possible until a friend in the Air Force gave me a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad and I had that light bulb moment where [you see] you can become successful in business, and become financially free for yourself and to be in a position where you can help other people," he said. "The initial goal was to try get into business when I left."
However, when he looked initially for help to start his own business, he recognised that a lot of big organisations and government just wanted to "get all the ticks in their boxes, hit their KPIs so they look good".
Another issue Mr Foley said he faced was the difficultly of connecting with the wider startup community, which he claimed is receiving all the funding – or when funding is provided to Indigenous affairs it's mostly a government-owned organisation.
"I find the startup community sometimes have got their little group and if you're not in their group, it's a bit disappointing because obviously we're doing a lot of great work but all of these other organisations that are tied up in these group are given all the funding."
Although none of this has deterred Mr Foley, who partnered with startup accelerator SlingShot. Together they launched Baraymal, a mini-accelerator program for Indigenous entrepreneurs, which offered mentorship, networking and training to five Indigenous startups over four weeks in Fishburners' Brisbane office at the end of last year.
Since then, Barayamal launched CoderDojo First Nations coding club for Indigenous Australians; a charity hackathon known as Give Backhackathon that helped four Indigenous charities by providing tech-based solutions; and a Budding Entrepreneurs Program that offered mentoring for Indigenous and non-Indigenous entrepreneurs for three months.
Opportunities in Sydney and Melbourne are also currently being explored as part of talks with the NSW government and LaunchVic, Mr Foley said.
"I see Barayamal rapidly expanding across Australia. Hopefully we can get into a position where we're financially sustainable and can continue helping the next generation of Indigenous tech entrepreneurs."
But it's not all just about funding either, Mr Foley said, rather it's about providing education to the Indigenous community to give them economic empowerment in order to reduce the Indigenous unemployment rate.
Based on findings by the Australian government, the unemployment rate of Indigenous Australians have increased since 2008 to 21 per cent and is four times higher than the current non-Indigenous unemployment rate of 5 per cent.
He added there is also great opportunity to reduce the current digital divide in remote areas by making internet – which he criticised is currently costly and slow even with the NBN – more accessible, so that those living in remote areas do not have to travel into the city to get an education.
"We've got this massive young Indigenous change coming up who have the opportunity to get an education and become highly skilled, so there are a lot of opportunities to build that economic development."

The study was carried out in Damboya Woreda, Kembata Tembaro Zone, Southern Ethiopia. The objective of the study was to assess the production and constraints of Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken poultry breeds. The study was carried out by preparing semi structured questionnaire to collect data on poultry production systems, feeding system, flock size, housing and major constraints. Data were collected randomly from 90 households. Secondary data were also collected from the government and non-government office center. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage. The majority of respondents (72.2%) were Protestant whereas 17.8% and 10% were Muslim and Orthodox religion followers respectively. Out of the interviewed respondents 42% were males and the rest (58%) were females. The dominant RIR chicken production system was extensive (54.5%) followed by semi-intensive (35.5%) and intensive (10%) in the study area. All the respondents provide house for poultry either in separated or non-separated houses. Layers were the dominant flocks (43.6%) as compared to pullets and cockerel. The major source of feed for RIR chicken was cereal crops and 52.3% of the respondents provide supplementary feeds twice a day.

Liberia Remains Committed to Integration – Executive Governor, Central Bank of Liberia
By admin Last updated Feb 8, 2019
Accra, Ghana – The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) Executive Governor, Honorable Nathaniel R. Patray, III, Thursday, February 6, 2018, told a gathering of West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) Central Bank Governors in Accra, Ghana, that Liberia remains committed to the effective implementation of the Road Map geared towards regional monetary and economic integration in the Economic Community of West African States (EC OWAS) in keeping with ECOWAS Monetary Cooperation Programme (EMCP), which Liberia is a signatory. Governor Patray expressed hope that the Technical Committee's discussions and deliberations of the WAMZ would bring the region closer toward the goals of establishing a credible monetary union within the sub-region.
The WAMZ founded on April 20, 2000 to establish the second monetary zone (the first being the West African Monetary Union comprising eight Francophone West countries) in ECOWAS to fast track the EMCP. The Member States of WAMZ are The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.

Speaking at the 38th meeting of the Committee of Governors of Central Banks of the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ), Executive Governor Patray said ECOWAS continues to make significant progress in sustaining economic growth and macroeconomic convergence in spite of the economic, political and social challenges faced by Member States. Governor Patray also noted the improvement by the ECOWAS in 2018, as six member states achieved growth rates of more than 6-percent, while 11 countries remained in single digits inflation.
The CBL Executive Governor emphasized that the ECOWAS Commission in collaboration with the West African Monetary Agency (WAMA) with the active support of Member States central banks, is poised to implement the revised roadmap for a single currency for ECOWAS by 2020. The roadmap entails a series of activities and programs, the establishment of the common monetary policy framework and exchange rate mechanism, establishment of a common central bank, policy harmonization, etc.
In a welcome statement, the outgoing Chairman of the Committee of Governors, Mr. Godwin I. Emefiele of the Nigerian Central Bank, spoke of the strides the region has made towards monetary integration.

How To Write A Novel: A Blueprint For Crafting Your Story Checklist
The Benefits Of Las Vegas Raiders

A skier slashes through fresh powder down the Crystal Lakeview run at Diamond Peak Ski Resort in February.
The Pioche Fire, which burned 80 acres of land in Palomino Valley last summer northwest of Spanish Springs, was fully contained as of Sept 20.
RENO, Nev. — Miracle March, please stay your hand.
The impacts of the unending winter blitz that left some parts of the Sierra buried under more than 20 feet of snow in February alone will be felt for months to come. There was no need for a repeat of last year's "Miracle March," when the region received the majority of snowfall for the 2017-2018 season.
Record winters such as the winter of 2016-2017 — the wettest winter ever recorded in the Sierra — and this year help regional tourism agencies market Greater Reno-Tahoe year-round.
The region's prestigious ski resorts enjoy the added cachet of skiers and snowboarders sharing stories of carving up waist-deep powder, and the massive snowpack and ensuing spring runoff sets the region up for strong summer and fall seasons.
But all that snow comes at a high cost.
From heli-skiing in the Ruby Mountains near Elko to snowboarding down Ski Run Boulevard in Incline Village, strong winters such as this give regional marketers plenty to discuss when they visit colleagues in key fly-in and drive-in markets.
Bethany Drysdale, chief communications officer for TravelNevada/Nevada Division of Tourism, says her team recently shared the region's plentiful power on a sales trip to Denver. Although there's no shortage of snow in the Rockies, people often take ski vacations to other destinations, Drysdale says.
"We don't hang our hat on the ski season or the ski resorts because that's only one corner of state, but it gives us one more thing to talk about," she says. "We talk about our monumental winter while our sales team talks to travel agents and tour operators. The resorts are only open for another couple months, but people in those destinations can make the decision to travel here."
Drysdale says that prior to the winter of 2016-2017, TravelNevada actually curtailed its winter marketing efforts because of the preceding long-term drought.
"We no longer wanted to show snowy landscapes when we couldn't deliver on that, so we moved away from a snow focus," she says. "Mother Nature is just too unpredictable to put our eggs in that basket, but years like this one certainly give us something to talk about."
An ad showing heli-skiing in the Ruby Mountains currently is TravelNevada's most-clicked digital advertisement, Drysdale notes.
The record winter already is paying dividends in terms of visitors to Greater Reno-Tahoe. Phil DeLone, president and chief executive officer of the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitor's Authority, says in January there were 355,000 visitors to Reno-Sparks, an increase of 4.4 percent from year-earlier figures and the best January in the last decade.
The return of Safari Club International after a five-year absence brought an additional 15,000 visitors to the region, but that's a small percentage of the region's overall visitor count for the month. February numbers likely will be skewed downward due to nightmarish travel conditions visitors faced, DeLone notes.
Many regional ski resorts, including Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, Heavenly Mountain and Squaw Valley, have announced they will extend their traditional ski seasons, which typically wrap up in April as spring weather offers other recreational options — with Squaw Valley going as far as to stay open after the Fourth of July. The longer season could potentially offset lower visitor counts in February.
Additionally, when all that snow melts, Lake Tahoe is expected to be at or near its natural rim all summer, and other lakes and rivers will be full, providing robust recreational opportunities deep into the fall.
"Overall, the resorts in the region are happy to see a good snowfall," DeLone says. "It's beneficial for our geography and the climate and helps prevent or curtail the risk of drought in the summer."
Although drought won't be a factor this year, fire certainly will be. Wet winters greatly benefit longer-burning fuels such as timber, which now have full moisture content, but they also spur explosive growth of finer fuels such as cheatgrass.
When excessive cheatgrass burns into medium fuels like sagebrush, it creates wildfires that burn larger and faster, says Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Fire Chief Charles Moore.
"During the springtime green-up period, consistent moisture fuels finer-fuels growth, and come June and July, those fuels cure about same time we start getting lightning storms," Moore says. "That is usually a recipe for more wildfires and fires that spread with more intensity."
Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District covers most of unincorporated Washoe County (including Pyramid Lake) except for North Lake Tahoe and the cities of Reno and Sparks. TMFPD has been unusually busy the past few years.
"The wildfire season that follows a very wet year correlates to a very active fire season," Moore says.
Here's proof: The wildfire season of 2016 saw just 78,898 acres burn. The following wildfire season, after the record winter of 2016-2017, a total of 358,029 acres burned in the TMFPD's coverage area. Notable fires were the Long Valley Fire, which burned more than 83,000 acres in Northern California and Nevada, and the Earthstone Fire, which burned nearly 27,000 acres in the hills above East Sparks.
Last year, meanwhile, saw a return to normalcy with just 52,871 acres burned.
While much of the TMFPD's protection area is in unoccupied areas, it does have to consider heavily populated forested areas such as Galena, Montreux and Arrowcreek. These areas are similar to forested communities in Northern California such as Redding and Paradise, where wildfires destroyed thousands of structures and claimed more than 90 lives last year.
Wind, not drought or fuel type, played the biggest role in those fire events, Moore notes.
There are many measures Northern Nevada businesses and homeowners can take to mitigate fire risk.
"The threat of structure loss is there all the time," Moore says. "The single-most thing we preach is defensible space and making sure there is no trail of combustibles from outside to the home (or business).
"Living with fire means we have the chance of experience fire at any time," he adds. "Even though it may be very wet, sagebrush will burn at any time. We need to be aware of fire throughout the calendar year, but particularly in the summer. The chance of having a fire is year-round. Not so much this year because of the snowpack, but the risk of fire is there whether we have a drought year or wet year.
"We are going to be fighting fires no matter what Mother Nature does to us during the winter."

Fall Out Boy continue teasing new album in letter to fans
Fall Out Boy have continued teasing their return with new music, sending a cryptic letter to fans.
READ MORE: "These songs feel bigger than our band": how Fall Out Boy's 'From Under The Cork Tree' inspired a generation
Over recent weeks, the band have been working up towards the announcement of their first new music since 2018 album 'M A N I A'.
Back in November, they took out an ad in the Chicago Tribune newspaper, featuring the words "FOB 8" followed by the phrase "If you build it, they will come" all against a black background.
Last week, the band then delivered what seemed to be a preview of a new song in a video titled 'A Claymation Fall Out Boy Celebration'.
Now, they've sent fans an email with a letter titled 'A Homeboy's Life'. After a number of cryptic paragraphs, the band revealed. "We spent the last year jamming ideas in a tiny room [and] can't wait to share them with you.
"Thanks for always sticking around. Thanks for working the beat. Spoiler alert: we got more than a gold watch coming for you next year."
See the full letter below.
FALL OUT BOY !!! pic.twitter.com/XbIZV28ofB
— NOAHFINNCE (23) (@noahfinnadams) January 1, 2023
The band's teasing continued last month, when fans began receiving cryptic postcards with the title 'Pink Seashell Beach'.
Those postcards came with a message reading: "I saw you in a bright clear field. Hurricane heat in my head. The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end. Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain: 'Give up what you love give up what you love before it does you in…'"
They arrived alongside the launch of a website dubbed "sending my love from pink seashell beach", which is also promoted with the new claymation video. Upon entering the site, visitors are met with the visual of pink seashell etched with the phrase, "The answers are inside of this."
Another website, dubbed "sending my love from the other side", asks fans to "RSVP to the other side". Clicking a prompt, inquisitive visitors will be met with a form to send off their name, email and physical address. A header on the site reads, "Welcome to the other side of the apocalypse," and clicking on the "O" in "other" will lead to the new FOB logo (donning a Santa hat) overtaking the splash page.
Meanwhile, guitarist Joe Trohman revealed back in September that Fall Out Boy had been working on some new "guitar-based" material, which had apparently been put on the backburner. "I don't know know what's happening with it," he told Rolling Stone. "I think it unfortunately went to the back burner. It would be nice to make a record where the guitar is a little more upfront.
"We did start that way, as a guitar-based rock band, and it'd be cool to go back to those roots. We'd have to find a way to do it that doesn't sound like Fall Out Boy from 2005. It might be cool for somebody else to do that, but it wouldn't be cool for us to do it."
The post Fall Out Boy continue teasing new album in letter to fans appeared first on NME.

HWCOM may be young, but it is already making an impact in our state, in our nation, and around the world for its innovative programs in medical education, research, and healthcare delivery!
Photo to left: Chair of Humanities, Health and Society, Dr. Pedro Greer awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom
In 2019, the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) once again recognized the HWCOM's unique approach to medical education, which highlights social accountability and the social determinants of health. HWCOM is the first recipient of AMEE's ASPIRE-to-Excellence Award for Inspirational Approaches to Health Professions Education.
In 2016, the Institute of Medicine report entitled A Framework for Educating Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of Health was released. HWCOM's curriculum was highlighted in this report as an example of a school successfully implementing a socially accountable curriculum.
Behind AAMC - In December 2016, HWCOM was selected by the AAMC as one of 8 medical schools to participate in the Health Equity Systems Cohort. This group of schools will work together on programs and curricula around the topic of "Building a Systems Approach to Community Health and Health Equity."
In 2016, HWCOM was awarded the Association for Medical Education in Europe ASPIRE-to-Excellence Award in Social Accountability. The award recognized the college's effort to direct its education, research and service activities towards addressing the priority health needs of the community through innovations such as the Medicine and Society strand and NeighborhoodHELP™.
HWCOM was one of 20 medical schools selected to join the American Medical Association Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium in 2015. Through the work of this consortium, the American Medical Association seeks to train physicians to respond effectively to the needs of patients in the changing landscape of health care and health care policy.
In 2014, HWCOM was one of ten medical schools selected for participation in an Association of American Medical Colleges pilot program. The 5-year pilot program is testing implementation of the Association of American Medical Colleges Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency.
The Green Family Foundation NeighborhoodHELPTM initiative received the 2014 Sapphire Award from the Florida Blue Foundation for health nonprofits. The honor, which included a $60,000 award, recognizes programs that "have demonstrated leadership, success, high merit and impact improving access to health-related services for, or the health-related outcomes of, Florida's at-risk populations and communities."
In 2013, The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) granted accreditation with commendation to HWCOM as a provider of Continuing Medical Education (CME). ACCME accreditation with commendation means that HWCOM is among the top 25% of providers of continuing medical education in the United States.
The Florida Senate issued a resolution in 2013 recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of HWCOM, including its innovative curriculum, the Green Family Foundation NeighborhoodHELPTM program, its identification and response to the critical health and social needs of Miami-Dade County, and its efforts to improve the quality of life of South Floridians.
The Florida House of Representatives issued a tribute in 2013 recognizing, commending and congratulating HWCOM for its outstanding accomplishments, the Green Family Foundation NeighborhoodHELPTM Program, "an innovative curriculum that serves as a model for new medical schools around the country," and for its "unwavering commitment to serving the community and educating future physicians in improving the health and quality of life of all Floridians.
The Miami-Dade County Office of the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners proclaimed Tuesday, April 2, 2013 as FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine Day in recognition of its mission to lead the next generation of medical education, to improve the quality of health care in South Florida, and for discovering innovations in science and the delivery of healthcare.
