"I just want to find him and get him home," says Ryan, wearily.
His voice is flat — low and quiet — as Ryan Jones talks about his child, his missing 6-year-old son. The Bourbon, Mo. man is facing Christmas without Braedence as he worries about his child's safety and quality of life. Abducted by his Camdenton-based mother four months ago, Braedence Jones has been considered an endangered person by the authorities for more than a month after first being reported missing in August.
And Ryan sounds as hollow as an empty house.
There have been sightings of Aubrey, and one of her closest associates Woodrow Ziegler, in the Lake of the Ozarks area since she failed to return Braedence after a visitation on Aug. 3, 2018, but there have been no verified reports by police of seeing Braedence with them — or anywhere for that matter.
The Camden County Sheriff's Office is investigating Braedence's abduction, and the Camden County Prosecuting Attorney's Office has filed a child abduction charge against Aubrey as a result. The Missouri State Highway Patrol has declared Braedence an endangered person and issued an advisory in October that continues today, though the urgency of the message seems to have gotten lost in time, time without the discovery of Braedence.
"We need to see the child, know he's safe and cared for properly. We don't care about custody or rights; we're just concerned about him and want him wherever the court says is the best place for him," commented Sheriff Tony Helms.
He declined to provide any information about the investigation, but did note that there are staff making it a priority to continue the search for Braedence.
According to Ryan, it appears Aubrey is keeping Braedence out of school as he has not been located at area schools.
"I know the sheriff's department is doing all they can. They have limitations on what they can do, there are routes they have to take, certain ways they have to do things, but I know they're very passionate about finding him and getting him home," Ryan says.
Ryan is asking anyone with knowledge of Braedence's whereabouts to contact authorities.
The police describe Braedence Christian Jones as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes and fair complexion. He is 6 years old and is around 3'5" tall, weighing 36 pounds the last time he was seen.
Ryan describes his son as kid who loves spending time outdoors, playing T-ball and any other sport he can get into. And according to dad, Braedence is pretty smart too.
Aubrey Susan Sky Ferguson is 30 years old, weighing around 101 pounds, standing 5'7". She has brown eyes and brown hair. Woodrow Allen Ziegler is 41 years old, 5'10", weighing around 250 pounds. He has green eyes and brown hair.
Possible vehicles they may be using include a red 2004 Honda Civic, MO plate DR1-T8R; and a gray 2000 Toyota Camry, MO plate SR5-K7T or TA1-H6X.
Call the Camden County Sheriff's Office with information at 573-346-2243, or simply 911. Information can also be submitted to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Missing Persons Clearinghouse by calling 573-526-6178 or emailing missingpersons@mshp.dps.mo.gov.

Calling card of Henry Burton Voter (1867-1944) of Farmington, Maine
Calling card of H. Burton Voter; presumably of Henry Burton Voter (1867-1944) of Farmington, Maine; nothing on reverse.
Henry Burton Voter, the son of Warren Voter and Lydia or Lida (White) Voter, married Annie Celestia Randall, daughter of William Randall and Sarah J. (Foster) Randall, on December 7, 1895 at Farmington, Maine.
The first two items on a page offered online by Maine Masons pertain to Henry Burton Voter, the second of which is his obituary.
If you have information to share on the Voter and/or Randall families, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
1812 Document, possibly Freetown, Massachusetts area: George C. Briggs; Capt. John Terry; Williams; Sillas Tisdale
September 2, 1812 handwritten document where George C. Briggs is inquiring of Mr. Williams if there is anything due on the Sillas Tisdale Note and, if so, to have it - the payment or the information - sent to Briggs by way of Captain John Terry.
The document may have involved the maritime shipping industry out of the Freetown, Massachusetts, area.
Whether Sillas is Silas, or if it's Silas Tisdale or Silas & Tisdale or Silas at Tisdale or a vessel named Sillas out of Tisdale, I can't determine.
The reverse, shown below, indicates that Capt. John Terry did indeed receive a payment, in the amount of $3 dollars and 34 cents.
I found a George Chase Briggs (1784-1854) and a John Terry, both involved in the maritime shipping industry, mentioned multiple times in the 1902 publication: A History of the town of Freetown, Massachusetts: with an account of the Old Home Festival, July 30th, 1902. There's an especially interesting comment on a John Terry, shown below - presumably an ancestor of the sea captain John Terry.
Perhaps Mr. Williams was Seth P. Williams, also a resident of Freehold, Massachusetts, or one of his relatives.
There's a Find a Grave memorial for Abigail (Terry) Briggs, wife of George C. Briggs, and presumably George is buried there, too, but there's no memorial for him.
If you can tie the clues in this document together in order to determine the locale and perhaps further identify the people mention, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
Just in case, the document has a tie to Freetown, Massachusetts:
Account of Sugar Refined in 1815 in the Sugarhouse of Benjamin West on Cambridge Street, Boston, Massachusetts
Handwritten account of all the Sugar, which is liable to pay excise, refined in the Sugarhouse in Cambridge Street in Boston, Massachusetts, improved by Benjamin West in the quarter ending December 31, 1815.
The document measures a bit more than 12" long so was too big for my scanner. The image below was taken with a phone camera and captures the length but not the color.
The reverse of the document has some text right side up and some upside down.
The reverse scanned in two images:
Benjamin West was born February 26, 1776 at Needham, Massachusetts, son of Rev. Samuel West and Priscilla (Plimpton) West. On April 21, 1811 at Boston, Massachusetts, Benjamin married his first cousin Charity West, daughter of Deacon Timothy West and Lois (Dexter) West. They raised their family at Boston and later moved to Charlestown, New Hampshire. After Benjamin's death in 1829, Charity married George Olcott.
An enlargement of Benjamin West's signature, executed on January 1, 1816.
Benjamin, Charity and George are all buried in the Forest Hill Cemetery at Charlestown, New Hampshire with other members of the West family.
An archive of the papers of the West family, mostly concerning Benjamin West's sugarhouse at Boston, is held in the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

1823 Document from Danvers, Massachusetts: Mrs. Martha Fowler; Russell; William Francis; Hannah Putnam; Adams & Tyler
Handwritten document started on February 1, 1823 listing bills paid by Mrs. Martha Fowler of Danvers, Massachusetts. Payees listed on the document [in order]:
William Francis
Hannah Putnam
Adams & Tyler
Mrs. Martha Fowler may have been Martha (Page) Fowler (1780-abt 1824), daughter of Jeremiah Page and Martha (Crosby) Page and wife of John Fowler (1778-1824); as noted on pages 152 and 153 in The Fowler Family: a Genealogical Memoir of the Descendants of Philip and Mary Fowler, of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Ten Generations 1590-1882.
More information on the Fowler family of Danvers, Massachusetts, is contained in the Fowler Family Papers, held in the Phillips Library Digital Collections of the Peabody Essex Museum.

1821 Token of Respect to Student Ann Caroline Potter in New York City from Teachers Hezekiah Gold Ufford and Lewis Bixby
Token of respect, dated July 24, 1821, given to student Miss Ann Potter in New York City by her teachers H. G. Ufford and L. Bixby. I believe these people were Ann Caroline Potter (1808-1882); Hezekiah Gold Ufford (1779-1863); and Lewis Bixby (1795-1866).
The token of respect came with a group of papers, including Family Record pages removed from a Bible, that pertain to the genealogy of several families:
Albertson
Layman
As noted in the accompanying papers, Miss Ann Potter was Ann Caroline Potter, born in 1808 in New York City and future wife of New York City attorney Frederick Wait Burke, a native of Woodstock, Vermont. Ann died on August 23, 1882 at Brooklyn, New York; her death record indicates that her father was born in New Jersey and her mother on Long Island in New York. The Mary Potter living with the Burkes at the time of the 1850 and 1860s Censuses was presumably Ann's widowed mother.
H. G. Ufford was presumably Rev. Hezekiah Gold Ufford, born in 1779 and a graduate of Yale College. Below, his obituary in the Yale publication Obituary Record of Graduates of Yale College Deceased from July, 1859, to July, 1870, noting that he was born April 14, 1779 at Stratford, Connecticut, son of Samuel Ufford and Abigail (Gold) Ufford:
L. Bixby may have been Rev. Lewis Bixby, whose name appears with that of H. G. Ufford in a testimonial of the Story of Jack Halyard, the Sailor Boy. This Lewis Bixby was born in New Hampshire about 1795, graduated from Yale College and taught in several places in New York throughout his career.
Below, his mention on pages 563 and 564 in A Genealogy of the Descendants of Joseph Bixby, 1621-1701, of Ipswich and Boxford, Massachusetts..., compiled by Willard Goldthwaite Bixby and published in 1914:

1869 Document Certifying the Marriage of William Henry Veasy [Veasey/Veazie] and Miss Lucinda M. Potter, both of Stark, New Hampshire, at Lancaster, New Hampshire
1869 document where Henry O. Kent, Justice of the Peace, is certifying that he married William H. Veasey and Miss Lucinda M. Potter, both of Stark, New Hampshire, on September 15, 1869 at Lancaster, New Hampshire.
Note that William's surname is spelled two different ways on the document and yet a different way on his gravestone: Veasey; Veazie; Veasy.
The document is comprised of a large sheet of paper folded once into a dimension of 10" by 7-3/4". There's a tiny bit of handwriting on the back pane, which gives an alternate spelling for William's name as W. H. Veazie, shown below:
To Whom it May Concern
This certificate witnesses that on the 15th day of September 1869, I joined in lawful wedlock under the Laws of the State of New Hampshire, at Lancaster in said State.
Mr. William H. Veasey and Miss Lucinda M. Potter, both of Stark, N.H. The certificate of the Town Clerk of Stark and my certificate of marriage appended thereto is also on file in the office of the Town Clerk of the town of Lancaster.
Witness my hand at Lancaster aforesaid, this 15th day of September A.D. 1869.
Henry O. Kent
[stamp: Coos County Registry of Deeds
Received Oct 12 1905
Recorded Volume 126 Page 375
Examined/Attest
D. Eugene Rowell, Register
According to information on their monument: William Henry Veasy and Lucinda M. Potter were both born in 1847. William was born in Groveton, New Hampshire, the son of John Veazie and Lucy (Hall) Veazie. [Notice that Groveton is written on the back of the document.] Lucinda was born at Stark, New Hampshire, the daughter of Justus M. Potter and Hannah (Dodge) Potter.
William and Lucinda made their home in Coos County, New Hampshire, and had at least two children. William, who died in 1910, and Lucinda, who died in 1920, are buried in the Northumberland Cemetery at Northumberland, New Hampshire, under the surname Veasy.
Justice of the Peace Henry Oakes Kent is buried in the Sumner Street Cemetery at Lancaster, New Hampshire. His Find a Grave memorial shows a photograph of Col. Kent and gives a family history.
If you have information on the Veasy/Veasey/Veazey/Veazie, Potter and/or Kent families, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
1743 Sampler Wrought by Mary Gisborne
Sampler wrought in 1743 by Mary Gisborne. A l988 letter on the reverse, shown below, speculates that Mary might have been from New Hampshire, and I did find Gisborne families in New England.
She may also have been the Mary Gisborne who was born at the British Chaplaincy at St. Petersburg, Russia, daughter of Consul Thomas J. Gisborne, though I found an unsourced reference that this Mary died in 1837 at Stockholm, Sweden.
And it would be fun to think that she might have been Maria (?) Reveley Gisborne, to whom poet Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote his "Letter to Maria Gisborne" in 1820.
The letter above mentions that the crown in the design indicates a loyal subject of colonial America, but it seems also a likely symbol among needle workers in the British empire.
If you have a theory as to the identity of Mary Gisborne, please leave a comment or contact me directly. Thanks for stopping by!
Sampler with Family Register of the William Brown family, possibly West Bath, Maine
This sampler was hanging on a wall at a Maine antique show sponsored by the Camden-Rockport Historical Society over the weekend of July 21-22, 2018. The Boston exhibitor graciously gave permission for a photograph. Sorry for the reflections in the images!
It records the birth dates and marriage date of William Brown and wife Diliah [?], who were born in what appears to be 1755 and 1759 respectively and who married in 1780. It also provides the birth dates of eleven children, two of whom died young.
They may have been the William Brown and Delia Brown who are buried in the Orchard Hill Cemetery at West Bath, Maine, along with a Freeman Brown, all of whose dates roughly match the dates in the sampler. There's a William Brown, born in 1782 and died in 1861, buried in the nearby Lombard Cemetery at West Bath, Maine; his wife Joanna (Merritt) Brown had died earlier in 1836.
An online tree has all of the information contained in this sampler but is otherwise unsourced and doesn't mention a locale. It also has the will of a William Brown attached to it, but I've since been told that the will was originally attached to the tree of a totally different William Brown and was apparently attached to the tree of William and "Diliah" in error.
I'm wondering if the person who created the online tree saw the sampler at some point, in person or from images when it was earlier put up for auction, but didn't pursue any further clues to the family's identity.
Elizabeth Brown, born September 9, 1780; died 1787
William Brown, born September 14, 1782
Nathaniel Brown, born November 25, 1783; died 1806
Thomas Brown, born June 20, 1785
Hannah Brown, born January 20, 1787
Eliza Brown, born February 23, 1789
Benjamin Brown, born May 17, 1791
Della Brown, born March 26, 1793
John Brown, born January 31, 1795
Freeman Brown, born September 13, 1797
Mary Brown, born December 16 [or 15], 1797
If you recognize the family above, whether from Maine, England, Massachusetts or somewhere else, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
I have contact information for the owner, as of July 22, 2018, in case anyone is interested in tracking this sampler down. The price may have been on the reverse, but the sampler was hanging over my head over a display of breakable things. Sadly, in my attempt to photograph this and adjacent samplers, I didn't ask the owner for pricing.
Just in case, a map of West Bath, Maine:
1827 Sampler with Family Register, "Wrought by Hannah Buxton" (b. 1812), Daughter of Joseph Buxton & Mary (Osborn) Buxton of New Hampshire
As you can read above, the sampler was "Wrought by Hannah Buxton [in] 1827". Hannah was the daughter of John Buxton (1783-1816) and Mary (Osborn) Buxton (b. 1785), who married February 28, 1809. Hannah gave her own date of birth, October 24, 1812, as well as the birth dates of her sisters Eunice and Alice.
A record in the data base New Hampshire Marriages, 1720-1920 and viewable on FamilySearch.org, with no image attached, notes that Joseph Buxton and Mary Osborne married on February 28, 1810 at Weare, New Hampshire. According to this record, Joseph was born at Henniker, New Hampshire, the son of David and Ruth Buxton; and Mary Osborne was born at Weare, New Hampshire, to Moses Osborne and Ruth (Paige) Osborne.
If you have knowledge of the Buxton and Osborn(e) families of New Hampshire, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
1863 Document: George F. Emery, Clerk of Maine District Court, Certifies that Jesse Davis is a Justice of the Peace for Androscoggin County
June 20, 1863 document signed by George F. Emery, Clerk of the Circuit Court for the Maine District, at Cumberland County, Maine, to certify that Jesse Davis was then a Justice of the Peace for Androscoggin County, Maine, in the midst of a term from January 29, 1857 to January 29, 1864.
The document measures a bit over 10" by 8"; nothing appears on the reverse.
George F. Emery was George Freeman Emery, LL.D, A.B., who was born at Paris, Maine, on November 10, 1817, son of Stephen Albert Emery and his first wife Sarah (Stowell) Emery. It's interesting to note that George's sister was the first wife of Hannibal Hamlin, Lincoln's first Vice President; after Sarah's death, Hamlin married George's half-sister Ellen Vesta Emery.
George Freeman Emery graduated from Bowdoin College in 1836, according to the excerpt shown below, from the Third General Catalogue of Colby College, Waterville, Maine, 1820-1908, which indicates that he was made an honorary graduate of Colby in 1891:
On August 21, 1841 at Portland, Maine, George Freeman Emery married Abby Eliza Appleton, daughter of John White Appleton and Sophia (Williams) Appleton. George died on July 1, 1904 at Portland, Maine, and is buried there in Evergreen Cemetery.
I wonder if Jesse Davis was this Jesse Davis from the Webster section of Sabattus, Maine, born July 21, 1814, whose Find a Grave memorial notes that he was was a selectman of Webster, a Senator in the 51st Legislature of Maine, Lisbon's town treasurer, Justice of the Peace, Captain in the Maine Militia and founder of the Manufacturer's Bank of Lewiston. This Jesse Davis married Mary Ann Woodbury/Woodberry.
If you have a different take on the identifies of George F. Emery and Jesse Davis, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

1836 Military Correspondence from Seward Dill, Commanding Officer of the Phillips Calvary of Phillips, Maine
September 14, 1836 letter sent from Phillips, Maine, from Seward Dill, Commanding Officer of the Phillips Calvary, to Capt. James E. Bates, Commanding Officer of the Infantry.
The letter measures nearly 8" by 7-1/2" and contains one hole and ragged left and bottom margins. There's nothing written on the reverse.
Dill was writing Capt. Bates to inform him that Dill had recently enlisted Mr. William Church into the Company of Cavalry in the 2nd Brigade and that John D. Towle had been dis-enrolled from Dill's company by Brigadier General Tufts, freeing Towle up to be enrolled elsewhere, as Capt. Bates would think proper.
Seward Dill may have been the Seward Dill born about 1808 at Lewiston, Maine, who lived in the Phillips area for a while before moving to Soquel, California, where he died. He married Shual Wheeler Hammond.
James E. Bates was presumably James Erskine Bates who was born about 1809 and was postmaster at Avon, Maine, near Phillips. He was married thrice: 1) Sally (Doble) Bates, who died about 1848; 2) Dorcas (Cook ?) Bates, who died about 1857; 3) Sarah Hamlin (Chick) Bates. Information on his wives obtained from Historic Homes and Places and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Volume 4, by William Richard Cutter, published in 1908.
William Church was presumably the William Church who was born in 1803 at Avon, Maine, and married Margaret Clark.
John D. Towle was presumably John Darling Towle, who was born about 1809 at Avon, Maine, and married Patience Dow.
Brigadier General Tufts - if you have an idea of the identity of Brigadier General Tufts, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
If you have information to share on any of these men, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
1812 List of Repairs to the Rollins House, presumably Midcoast Maine: How, Whitehouse, Abbott, Currier
1812 document where a Mr. How itemizes the cost of repairs to the Rollins house where he was then residing. The front of the document mentions C. How, but the reverse shows either W. How, M. How or N. V. How.
The document doesn't mention a locale, but the person who sold it to me noted that it was found with others that pertain to Midcoast Maine.
In addition to How and Rollins, other people mentioned:
Mr. Teb*, carpenter [Tebbetts or variant ?]
Mr. Whitehouse, a carpenter
Mr. Abbott, a painter
Mr. Currier, paint purveyor
Mr. How's sons
Readers: if these clues bring a locale and/or identities to mind, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
c1815 Document, Brunswick, Maine: David Stanwood; Brunswick Cotton Manufactory; Luke Lambard; John Taylor or Tabor; Hunter ?
Circa 1815 document with one side, shown above, containing instructions for David Stanwood, Clerk of the Brunswick Cotton Manufactory, to call a meeting of the Shareholders of that firm, to be held at the hotel of Luke Lambard. This document pertains to the Midcoast area of Maine, including the towns of Brunswick, Bath and environs.
The reverse contains
Note of Interest
Receipt for payment
Arithmetic calculations
The name John Taylor or perhaps John Taybor or Tabor or Taber - your interpretation requested
Possibly the name Hunter - your interpretation requested
The paper measures approximately 7" by 7-1/2"
Interestingly, I found a sources online that state that the Brunswick Cotton Manufactory was the first cotton mill in Maine, petitioned for incorporation to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1808 and opened in 1809.
David Stanwood was presumably the Colonel David Stanwood, born in 1788 at Brunswick, Maine, as described in a sketch on pages 156 and 157 (with his likeness on a page intervening) in A History of the Stanwood Family in America, by Ethel Stanwood Bolton, published in 1899. Col. Stanwood was a graduate of Bowdoin College, a lawyer at Brunswick and a Colonel in the Maine Volunteer Militia. In 1816, around the time of this document, he married Caroline Peace Lee. I should note that there were several other men named David Stanwood.
There were two men by the name of Luke Lambard in Bath, Maine, one born about 1730 in Massachusetts, who died in 1820, and the younger who was born about 1770 and died in 1854. I'm not sure which one of them owned the hotel mentioned in the document above. One of them is mentioned in a document of 1801 where the selectmen of Bath, Maine, vouched for his character. It was presumably the younger Luke, or maybe even a younger one still, who applied to the U.S. Marshall in 1820 to be the census enumerator for three more towns; in his application he drew a map of the towns he was already enumerating. While researching Luke Lambard, I came across several online sites that show examples of the beautiful artwork of his daughters Rachel and Elizabeth.
If you have an alternate identity for either David Smallwood or Luke Lambard or a theory as to the identity of John Taylor [or Taybor or Tabor or Taber], please leave a comment or contact me directly. I'd also like to hear your thoughts on what appears to be the surname Hunter.

Serratia Marcescens
Serratia Marcescens: Information on Causes, Diagnosis & Treatments
Serratia marcescens is a rare opportunistic bacterium that is categorized in the enterobateriaceae family commonly found in the environment. The bacteria can produce prodigiosin, a pigment color that ranges from lights pink to dark red. The color can identify the age of the bacterial colony which thrives in the soil, water, and the digestive tract of many mammals, including humans.
Most of us have seen Serratia marcescens in our daily environment when colonies of the bacteria appear in the toilet bowl, shower stall, bathtub, or the pet's water dish as a pink film. In addition to appearing on water surfaces, it is also found in dust in the feces of animals and humans. The bacteria can become airborne from numerous sources that occur naturally. In recent years, the bacteria have become a problem in many households that use activated carbon filters to remove chlorine added to the water supply.
The toilets in the home that are used less often, like in the guest bathroom, can be the ideal breeding ground for Serratia marcescens where standing water allows the chlorine to dissipate. Many water companies in the United States will add a minimal amount of chlorine to ensure the drinking water is disinfected and safely consumed, free of Serratia marcescens. However, allowing the water to stand for 30 minutes or more can cause the chlorine disinfectant to evaporate into the atmosphere.
Who Is at Risk for Serratia Marcescens?
How to Minimize Risks
Serratia Marcescens Treatments
Proven Infection Control Measures
Serratia marcescens was once considered to be an innocuous water organism. However, scientist now knows that the bacteria can be a significant problem when reservoirs of Serratia marcescens are found in the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and urinary tract in humans. Healthcare workers and individuals who wear artificial nails are also at risk of exposure to Serratia marcescens. Intensive care units (ICUs) at hospitals can develop epidemics of infection from the colonization of Serratia marcescens where the bacteria is found in medical equipment, drugs, blood products, antiseptics, lotions, showers, toilets, and sinks.
Individuals at greatest risk of those that develop a nosocomial (hospital-originating) infection that is confined to soft tissue, surgical wounds, the urinary tract, or respiratory tract. While the condition is rare, exposure to Serratia marcescens could lead to meningitis, especially in pediatric wards at medical centers and hospitals. Other individuals at risk of harm caused by the bacteria include:
Heroin Addicts – Serratia marcescens is known to cause osteomyelitis and endocarditis in heroin addicts.
UTI Sufferers – Hospital patients who develop urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually asymptomatic, meaning they have no symptoms of the disease or owners.
Nosocomial bloodstream infections, including Serratia marcescens, often result in a high mortality rate, especially if the patient develops endocarditis or meningitis that are known to because by the bacteria. However, there are at least 14 distinct strains of Serratia marcescens, some of which are highly resistant antibiotics.
Another risk factor associated with Serratia marcescens includes the placement of IV (intravenous) catheters, urinary catheters, and intraperitoneal catheters. Patients with wound infections or those who develop pneumonia while in a hospital setting are also at risk for developing a severe Serratia marcescens infection.
One study revealed that the spread of Serratia marcescens was prominent in hospital settings amongst facility personnel through hand-to-hand transmission where 50% of hand cultures from the medical team tested positive when samples were obtained at the end of the working shift.
Once the bacteria have established an environment they usually cannot be entirely eliminated. Hospitals and households should perform periodic thorough cleaning of every surface that develops the pink slime. This cleaning process should be followed by intensive disinfection procedures using a chlorinated product like bleach to ensure the organism's control.
The best way to minimize the potential risk of suffering harm from Serratia marcescens include:
Thorough Cleaning – A thorough cleaning of all kitchen and bathroom surfaces along with the pet's water bowl is necessary by scrubbing the surface where any fatty or phosphorus substances have accumulated. The bacteria can be destroyed using household cleansers with a brush.
Disinfecting Surfaces – A thorough disinfection of any surface where the pink slime has developed using a solution of strong chlorine bleach products.
Thorough Rinsing – Allow the disinfecting solution to remain on the affected surface for a minimum of 20 minutes before the area is thoroughly rinsed using clean water.
Do Not Scratch the Surface – Take precautions to avoid scratching the surface with an abrasive that conform deep crevices making the surface highly susceptible to the growth of bacteria in hard to reach places.
Use Chlorine Bleach Spray – Toilet bowls are highly susceptible to accumulating the hazardous and dangerous pink slime and should be thoroughly cleaned followed by a chlorine bleach spray on the bowl's interior and under the room. Allow the bleach to remain in the water for a minimum of 20 minutes before flushing the bowl.
When the surface of the toilet bowl begins to develop a film of pink slime, it's time to repeat the cleaning process followed by a thorough disinfection of the area. However, it is important to note the cleaning the services are flushing the bowl using chlorinated products will never eliminate the presence of Serratia marcescens completely. However, taking the appropriate steps listed above can control and manage the bacteria.
The deadly bacterium is inherently resistant to most common narrow-spectrum penicillin medications. This includes amoxicillin, ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate and numerous cephalosporins. Because of that, over the last four decades, the bacterium has become a severe health care-associated pathogen that revealed its multiple antimicrobial resistant properties.
That said, many hospitals never experience problems associated with Serratia marcescens when identified, take appropriate measures to readily treat those affected. However, other hospital settings are highly susceptible to cross infections due to a lack of following disinfecting procedures in the healthcare population.
Research shows that infection outbreaks usually coincide with the breakdown of hospital procedures to control infections. It is in the settings at the pathogen continues to thrive in the hospital causing it to become highly resistant to any treatment.
Due to the high susceptibility of some hospital environments failure to control Serratia marcescens infections, certain preventative measures can be highly effective. This includes developing, implementing, and enforcing proven infection control policies especially where infections involving Serratia marcescens are evident and/or have been isolated.
This includes isolating multi-resistant strains of the bacteria, implementing strict and hygiene policies and identifying and isolating the organism through a microbiology laboratory analysis before choosing the appropriate therapy to control the infection throughout the hospital population.
Because the majority of Serratia marcescens infections are the result of hospital personnel negligence, patients who develop an infection have legal rights to seek financial recovery for their damages, losses and injury. This is because the hospital should have developed and enforced defective policies that minimize exposure to the dangerous bacterium by sanitizing surfaces, promoting hand hygiene and enforcing equipment/fixture disinfecting policies to minimize every patient's risk of being injured by contaminated surfaces.

Old Hollywood lingers at Chez Jay
Michael Anderson, far right, co-owner of Chez Jay, a dive bar and small restaurant on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, chats with a customer.
(Mel Melcon / Los Angeles Times)
By Margaret Wappler, Los Angeles Times
When piped-in music and a bar's history perfectly align, it makes for a sweet cocktail of synchronicity, a besotted wink from the intimate interior that makes all the drinkers lean into their liquor just a little bit more.
On a recent Sunday night, the ramshackle Chez Jay, a beachcomber bistro in Santa Monica with a legendary past, was packed. Glasses twinkled, waiters rushed through the room delivering steaming steaks, and the Doors' "L.A. Woman" played overhead. "Driving down your freeways," Morrison growled, and it seemed like the room was right there with him, careening down Pacific Coast Highway.
Morrison was known to frequent Chez Jay, as well as a host of other famous regulars in its 53 years of business. Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Dean Martin, Lee Marvin, Judy Garland and even Marilyn Monroe would get seated in the curtained-off booth in the back, Table 10.
The restaurant, and that table in particular, is reported in the unpublished memoirs of now-deceased owner Jay Fiondella to have been the birthplace of many a screenplay, including work by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, as well parts of Warren Beatty's "Shampoo."
The Beach Boys hung out at Chez Jay too. Dennis Wilson, according to one of the bar stories long passed down, once dove over the low border wall in front of Table 10, igniting a brawl that probably didn't end in lush harmony.
Like the Doors' catalog, Chez Jay has been well-loved to the point of obsession by its local denizens. Today, Chez Jay manages to seem both classic and a little seedy. Like dust in the grooves of an old record, peanut shells are trapped in the pockmarks of the bar's floor. Perfunctory movie art hangs on the walls; checkered tablecloths cover the tables.
But Chez Jay, despite its history or maybe from the weight of it, is one of a dying breed. Tom Brackey, an entertainment lawyer in his mid-40s, has been going to the nautical-themed bar and restaurant since he was a teenager. "We lost Chasen's, there's still Dan Tana's," Brackey says, "but there aren't a lot of places left that conjure old Hollywood."
He points to the porthole window that looms over Table 10. "I climbed through that when I was 19," he admits, trying to get away from somebody coming through the front door but he won't tell who. Like a lot of Chez Jay's history, the details are murky, the fables far more alluring to share than fact.
A few things known to be true: Opened by Fiondella in 1959, the Chez had a devoted crowd by the mid-'60s, first beloved by British actors like Richard Burton and Peter Sellers, who according to the aforementioned memoirs, would regale the crowd with fake accents and imitations.
Soon enough it was taken over by the Rat Pack, who drank up there before a weekly poker game, according to a letter that entertainment PR maestro Jim Mahoney wrote in 2010 to Chez Jay's co-owner Michael Anderson. "Granted there were fancier nightspots," Mahoney wrote, "but the Chez Jay experience was something unique. It was personal and it was private. And that was critical for that group."
"Jay had a policy that continues to this day," Anderson says. "No paparazzi and no leaking who's here to the press." Anderson, Fiondella's business partner for some 30 years and current co-owner of the bar with Fiondella's daughter Anita, is still loath to name the celebrities who drop by, preferring instead to focus on regular people who make for good stories too.
There's Patrick Cunningham, for instance, who fought bulls in Spain in the '50s with his mentor Sidney Franklin, friend and muse to writer Ernest Hemingway. A longtime Santa Monica resident, Cunningham visited Chez Jay often. When he died earlier this year at 85, his family chose Chez Jay for an Irish-style wake.
Jim Wiatt, the former head of the William Morris Agency and now consultant to AOL, says that Chez Jay is "where the stars go to slum." Eating at Table 10 with a friend, Wiatt says Chez Jay "may not have the same luster as back in the day … but it's still doing pretty well."
Tamar Geller, a dog trainer who's worked with Oprah and many other stars, has been going there for 15 years, first taken by her friend Mark Steines, host for "Entertainment Tonight." Nearly everyone in the industry who goes to Chez Jay was taken by another industry friend intent on passing on the secret.
"It's very authentic," Geller says. "A safe place away from the bull of Hollywood — and it's aging really well."
It's also a great date place, and a certain kind of test. David Anspaugh, the director of "Hoosiers" and "Rudy," says that Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews had their first date at Chez Jay. Anspaugh also has brought a few potential girlfriends here. "One woman, she just didn't get it — the food, the atmosphere," Anspaugh says. "After that check was paid, we didn't talk again."

Best grown in evenly moist, fertile, sandy loams with excellent drainage in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of full shade, a wide variety of soils (except poorly-drained ones) and considerable pruning. Plants are easy to prune and respond well to pruning. Intolerant of temperature extremes (e.g., prolonged hot summer temperatures or cold winter winds). Not reliably winter hardy throughout the St. Louis area where plants should be located in sheltered locations with protection from winter winds.
Taxus baccata, commonly called English yew or common yew, is a long-lived, evergreen, conical tree that is native to Europe, southwestern Asia and northern Africa. It typically grows to 30-60' tall. Old trees usually develop thick trunks with scaly reddish-brown bark. Lustrous, flat-needled, two-ranked, dark green foliage (needles to 1 1/2" long) is attractive year round. Young shoots emerge light green. Although classified as a conifer, female yews (plants are dioecious) do not produce cones, but instead produce red, ornamentally-attractive, berry-like fruits, each having a single seed almost completely surrounded by a fleshy red aril. Birds will feed on the berry-like fruits and help spread plants to other locations. All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.
Specific epithet means fruit-bearing in reference to the showy red arils.
No serious insect or disease problems. Susceptible to winter burn from exposure to extreme cold and/or dry winter winds, particularly in exposed sites. Twig blights and needle blights are occasional problems. Root rot may occur in poorly-drained soils. Insect pests include mealybugs, scale and vine weevils.
One of the best evergreen conifers for shady areas. Specimen/accent. Hedge. Screen. Foundation. Topiary. Background.
Species plants are rarely sold in commerce. Cultivars of T. baccata and of T. x media (T. baccata x T. cuspidata) are commonly sold.

North Wales football's greatest stories No15: Three Welsh Cups in a row for Bangor City
Bangor City celebrate winning the 2009/10 Welsh Cup. Picture: FAW Cymru
Bangor City became the first North Wales club in almost 100 years to win the Welsh Cup three times in a row when they defeated Port Talbot Town 3-2 in the 2009/10 final at Parc-y-Scarlets, Llanelli.
Not since Wrexham achieved a hat-trick of successes in Wales' top knockout in 1908/09, 1909/10 and 1910/11 had a northern team lifted the trophy for three consecutive seasons before Neville Powell's heroes accomplished it during a golden spell for the Citizens.
Bangor had previously won the coveted cup on five occasions – in 1888/89, 1895/96, 1961/62, 1997/98 and 1999/2000 – but were going through an unproductive period in their history when former City player Powell took over as manager at Farrar Road in 2007 following 14 years in charge at Connah's Quay Nomads.
Powell had reached the Welsh Cup Final while playing for Bangor in 1984/85.
Although the all-blues lost over two legs to Shrewsbury Town, City still qualified for Europe as the England-based cup winners were not eligible.
Midfielder Powell went on to feature in the famous 1985/86 Cup Winners' Cup ties against Fredrikstad of Norway and the mighty Spaniards Atletico Madrid.
The former Tranmere Rovers professional was well-liked by Bangor fans during his seven years at the club, so when it was announced he was returning to the Citizens as boss, there was plenty of cheer and a healthy dose of optimism in the air.
Triple Welsh Cup glory
Bangor's Welsh Cup campaign began with a fairly comfortable 3-0 second round home win over Cymru Alliance side Llandyrnog United, Ashley Stott netting twice and Les Davies also on target.
Next up was a highly dramatic tie at Caersws, in which City had Dave Swanick and Kieran Killackey red carded, yet somehow emerged through extra time as 3-2 winners with nine men. Marc Limbert, Michael Johnston and Michael Walsh bagged the away goals.
More drama in round four saw Bangor draw 0-0 at Aberystwyth Town, so penalties were needed. Enter goalkeeper Paul Smith as the hero who saved three kicks in the shoot-out, which the visitors edged 3-2.
By contrast, a quarter-final at Huws Gray Alliance outfit Guilsfield was a breeze, Stott netting four times as City triumphed 6-0, Johnston and Karl Noon adding further goals.
Bangor were paired with underdogs again in the semis, Welsh League Newport YMCA the opposition. The North Wales side took the spoils 3-1, Peter Hoy, Stott and Sion Edwards finding the net.
So to City's first 14th Welsh Cup Final appearance and a clash with Llanelli at Latham Park, Newtown.
Despite being reduced to 10 men after Hoy's fourth minute sending off, Powell's side led 1-0 at half time through the consistent Stott, who pocketed his eighth goal of the competition.
There was a quick turnaround after the break as a Swanick own goal and Rhys Griffiths finish put Llanelli 2-1 to the good.
The South Wales Reds looked well on top, but when key defender Wyn Thomas was sent off for dissent, Bangor were thrown a lifeline.
Still, it remained 2-1 until in the second of four minutes added-on time.
A misplaced punch from Llanelli keeper Duncan Roberts resulted in Christian Seargeant equalising with a perfect chip to send the City fans wild.
The first period of extra time saw Bangor clinch the cup as a Marc Limbert penalty and Noon benefiting from keeper Roberts slamming the ball against him and seeing it enter the net put the Farrar Road outfit 4-2 up.
To compound Llanelli's misery, Griffiths was dismissed for violent conduct.
Everton legend Graeme Sharp, manager at City when they won the Welsh Cup in 1998, watched from the stands as his son Chris scored the goal which earned Bangor a 1-0 success against Connah's Quay Nomads in round two.
At the next stage, a hat-trick from Marc Limbert – including two penalties – and a Les Davies goal guided the Citizens to a 4-0 home triumph over Welsh League Garden Village.
A last 16 tie at home to arch rivals Rhyl was anything but straight-forward.
The expensively-assembled Lilywhites, who were to finish up Welsh Premier champions in this season, were strong favourites, even more so after Bangor's Limbert was red-carded for alleged violent conduct after 16 minutes.
City kept the visitors at bay, then took a surprise 67th minute lead through Sharp.
Rhyl levelled late on through Greg Strong to force extra time, which produced several close calls but no deciding goal, so spot-kicks were required.
And Bangor prevailed 4-2, Stuart Cook slotting the decisive penalty after Neil Roberts had hit the bar and Smith kept out Luke Holden's effort.
In the quarters the all-blues coasted to a 5-0 verdict at Airbus, Davies (2), Seargeant, Hoy and Edwards on the mark, leading to a showdown with Welsh League Bridgend Town in the last four, which Powell's charges won 2-1 through net-finders from Seargeant and Killackey.
Bangor returned to Parc-y-Scarlets for the final against Aberystwyth and found the Llanelli venue a lucky charm again as they celebrated a 2-0 outcome, Davies and Seargeant on target.
City's bid for a hat-trick of Welsh Cups began with a home test against Cefn Druids which saw the Ancients lead 1-0 at half time.
Bangor rallied in the second period to take the win 4-1, Jamie Reed with a pair, Sharp and James Brewerton one apiece.
A trip to Flint Town United in round three saw a Hoy goal prove enough to progress 1-0, then the last 16 delivered a home tussle with lower league Aberaman Athletic which the holders won 3-1, but needed a stoppage time penalty from Reed to finally seal the spoils. Reed and Craig Garside added further goals.
Reed and Dave Morley struck in the quarter-finals, where Bangor eliminated Welsh Premier table-toppers Llanelli 2-0, then followed a win by the same score over Prestatyn Town in the semis, Mark Smyth and Garside seeing off the Seasiders.
Awaiting in the final were Port Talbot, with Parc-y-Scarlets once again hosting the showpiece.
Bangor cruised into a 2-0 lead inside 15 minutes, Lee Hunt and Reed applying the finishes.
Talbot refused to crumble, Drew Fahiya's reply just before the hour and then a Liam McCreesh equaliser in the 85th minute making the South Walians favourites to go on and win it.
But this was Bangor City – masters of the late killer blow.
Into injury time and a Sion Edwards free kick into the box saw Morley climb highest to head in the clincher. Once, twice, three times the cup winners!
Bangor continued to make history under Neville Powell.
Amazingly, City came within one win of landing a fourth national cup in a row.
After progressing through four rounds of the 2010/11 competition to make it 22 successive Welsh Cup tie wins under Powell, Bangor were beaten 4-1 in the final by Llanelli.
The consolation prize was not bad though – a first Welsh Premier League title in 16 years secured by defeating champions The New Saints at Farrar Road.

Let's take a look at what you need to know about wrongful death lawsuits, including the time limit to file, what damages can be claimed and what happens when a wrongful death is caused by an intentional act.
Is There a Time Limit in Which to File for Wrongful Death?
Under California law, a claim for wrongful death must be placed within two years of the date of death of the loved one. If the claim is not filed within this period of time, the case is unlikely to be heard by the court and will be dismissed.
What Damages Can Be Claimed in a Wrongful Death?
What if a Wrongful Death Was Caused by an Intentional Act?
If a death was caused by an intentional act or an act such as murder, the family may be able to claim punitive damages under California Civil Code 3294. The difference is that punitive damages are not awarded for financial reimbursement but to punish the wrongdoer. This is regardless of whether the individual who caused the death was convicted of a crime.
What Family Members May Be Included in a Wrongful Death Claim?
If the decedent died without leaving any direct descendants, then any family member can file who would inherit through an estate. This may include parents, siblings, etc.

3 Reasons You'll Regret Skipping the Flu Shot This Year
Experts expect the vaccine to cut down on severe illness, testing backlogs and more
Rachel Nania,
With summer in the rearview mirror, health experts are ramping up their plea for Americans to get the flu shot this fall in an effort to ease the impact of two respiratory illnesses circulating at the same time — an event some have dubbed a "twindemic."
What the fall and winter will look like — with influenza activity at its peak and Americans still contending with COVID-19 — "remains unknown," says Costi Sifri, M.D., professor of medicine and director of hospital epidemiology at the University of Virginia. When the coronavirus outbreak started in the U.S., last year's flu season was wrapping up. "So we didn't see how these two viruses or multiple viruses could interact with each other," he says.
On the one hand, public health interventions meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus (masks, physical distancing and the cancellation of large gatherings) could make this year's flu season relatively mild, since the two viruses are thought to spread in similar ways.
Countries in the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia and New Zealand, have reported lower levels of flu activity so far this year, but experts caution that doesn't mean the same will hold true in the U.S. "Those countries have had a significant amount of success in social distancing," which probably helped to weaken flu activity, Sifri says. "Whether we have that experience here is not clear to me."
One way to improve the chances: the influenza vaccine. Though a flu shot will not prevent a coronavirus infection, experts stress it can help ward off a potentially disastrous winter.
1. Flu vaccine reduces severe illness
Because the two illnesses (flu and COVID-19) are caused by different viruses, experts say it is possible to get infected by both at the same time or sequentially — one right after the other. The effects of a coinfection are still being studied, but early reports show it can be dangerous.
Severe cases of flu or COVID-19 on their own can lead to a life-threatening lung injury, called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), where fluid leaks into the lungs and breathing becomes difficult. A coinfection with flu and COVID-19 would likely mean "the severity of respiratory failure would be greater," says Michael Matthay, M.D., professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco and an expert on treating patients with ARDS. "Or having two illnesses in a row that affected the lungs would make the respiratory failure more severe."
That's where the flu shot comes in. Even if the influenza vaccine fails to prevent the flu (it's between 40 percent and 60 percent effective, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]), it reduces the severity of illness in people who get it — meaning it protects flu patients from severe respiratory failure "for the most part," Matthay says.
"We have a tool for the flu that we don't have right now for COVID," UVA's Sifri says, referring to the influenza vaccine's ability to soften the blow of a coinfection. "It provides benefits even beyond just preventing flu."
2. It prevents a crowded health care system
It's important to keep in mind that the flu is more than a bad winter cold for many Americans. During the 2018-2019 season, it was responsible for an estimated 490,600 hospitalizations and 34,200 deaths, according to the CDC. In previous years, numbers have been even higher. The 2017-2018 season, for example, saw 810,000 influenza-related hospitalizations and 61,000 influenza-associated deaths.
"So, you know, you could imagine that could be an additional strain to hospitals that are already potentially strained during COVID and may become even more so during fall and winter months, as there's competition for hospital beds" as well as health care personnel and equipment, Sifri says.
CDC Director Robert Redfield, M.D., says both illnesses "have demonstrated they can stress our health system." Since the beginning of March, nearly 370,000 Americans have been hospitalized with coronavirus infections, according to data from the COVID Tracking Project. That is why Redfield is advocating "more than ever" for Americans to get the flu vaccine this fall — "so that maybe you won't get the flu at all, and if you do get the flu, you won't end up in the hospital. And if you do end up in the hospital, you won't end up in the intensive care unit and on a ventilator," Redfield says.
Older adults and people with underlying health conditions are at increased risk for hospitalization from both flu and COVID-19. A high-dose vaccine that contains four times the amount of antigen and provides greater protection from the flu is recommended for people 65 and older.
"Every American really has the opportunity to have a real impact on making sure that we have the medical capacity that we need for those individuals who may require hospitalization," Redfield adds.
3. Flu season could worsen testing delays
A high number of flu cases could also contribute to coronavirus testing delays. Flu and COVID-19 share similar (though not all) symptoms, meaning "almost everybody that presents with flu-like illness will, by definition, have a COVID-like illness," Sifri says — and a diagnosis won't be clear without a test. (Differentiating the two illnesses is important for many reasons, including treatment. There are antiviral drugs that can treat the flu; some treatments have received emergency use authorizations to treat COVID, but so far no drugs have received official approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.)
Over the summer, a nationwide coronavirus testing backlog led to longer-than-recommended wait times for results, and experts worry it could happen again if millions of flu patients are thrown into the mix. "Right now, we have a well-publicized constraint to testing capacity in the nation. So if we have a very heavy flu season, that'll just exacerbate that problem," Sifri says.
"Powerful weapons," such as masks, physical distancing and the flu vaccine, can help relieve stress on the testing system, Redfield says. The CDC is also developing a single test that can differentiate between flu and COVID-19 and is distributing it to health departments around the country. Rapid coronavirus tests that help doctors quickly determine whether a patient has COVID-19 are also gaining traction.
CDC director calls on older adults to set example
Over 45 percent of adults in the U.S. received flu shots during the 2018-2019 season. The CDC's Redfield wants to see that number closer to 65 percent this year, and says older adults play an important role in making sure younger populations — their children and grandchildren — get vaccinated. The flu shot is recommended for people 6 months and older, with rare exceptions.
"We really do need the grandparents in this nation to help reinforce in their children the important medical advancements of vaccination," Redfield says, adding that the U.S. has ramped up production of the flu shot to about 190 million doses to account for more people seeking protection this year. The CDC usually purchases about 500,000 doses for uninsured adults; this year, the agency ordered 9.3 million.
"Just minor changes in the acceptance of this vaccine can make huge differences in the clinical burden that we have," Redfield says.
Where's the best place to get a flu shot? Doctors' offices, pharmacies, supermarkets and health departments will offer them this year. Americans who typically receive their vaccine at work may need to make arrangements to get it elsewhere; VaccineFinder.org can help you locate a safe and convenient location. Just be sure to follow proper precautions when venturing into public, the CDC warns: Wear a mask, wash your hands often and avoid close contact with others.

I have long been a strong believer in including regular core and flexibility in your training programme, both as a way to prevent injury through improved joint strength and mobility but also as a way to increase performance.
But what do we mean by core? When asked many will say that their core is their abdominals or six pack and while this is one element, we should extend our thinking up, down and around our body to also take in areas such as our hips, back and upper legs. Our core is the foundation of everything we do. It enables us to maintain a strong and stable platform off which power and ultimately speed can be delivered, primiarly through our legs and to a lesser extent our arms.
From an injury perspective, a strong core will help stabilise key joints reducing the stresses and strains as we push our limits in our chosen sports. This is especially important when talking about running, which places a significant load on the body and is a notorious cause of injury in athletes.
Having picked up various injuries myself over the years I've used a wide range of exercises for rehab, many which I still incorporate into my programme today as a preventative measure. Additionally following a double leg fracture and ankle dislocation a few years ago, I now have reduced flexibility in my right ankle which bio-mechanically puts extra load on my right leg and hips. For me, a targeted core programme is a great way to both improve the mobility of this joint and also strengthening those areas that are taking additional load as a result of the injury.
The next question is whether to use body weight or incorporate weights into your core programme. Personally I prefer to focus on body weight exercises rather than the use of weights, with changes in position and introduction of tools such as the thera-band to increase the difficulty. This approach means I can do my programme anytime and anywhere, inside or out, at home or in a hotel room. The key is to keep it regular and the need for weights or gym would be a barrier to this for me. If you have weights at home or prefer to go to the gym, go for it! Just make sure the programme you are following is suitable for your ability and you also have appropriate training in how to use the weights or machines where applicable.
With this kind of programme little and often trumps a longer session once a week everytime! The key is to form a habit and to aid with that I have developed a short set that I undertake daily and a longer extended set I try to do 2 or 3 times a week. When undisturbed I find I can get through the daily set in ten minutes and the longer set in forty to fifty. Altogether this makes around 2 hours of core work a week, which may sound a lot but is an area I find is definitely worth the focus and time.
These are sessions that I have developed for my specific needs and have built up to over time. While you are free to use them I would encourage you to have a think about the areas that you need to focus on and build your own tailored sessions from there.
There are loads of great resources out there on the web which provide excellent content, much of it free, which you can draw upon when developing your own plan. Two of my personal favourites are Kinetic Revolution and Strength Running, with the former including a free 30 day challenge programme which I would really encourage you to sign up for.
Below is a great video which is an excellent starting point for a run focussed core strength routine.
If you are still not sure where to start and are looking for maximum "bang for your buck", then the good old plank is a great exercise to start with, utilising a wide range of muscles throughout your core in one simple exercise.
There is so much more we could discuss here, such as the use of Yoga, Pilates, running drills, foam rolling and resistance tools such as Thera-bands and TRX. These will be the subjects of future blog posts and for now I would just encourage you to put some time aside each week to specifically focus on core strength, start to injury proof your body and unlock the power from within!

Speech given by Mr. Takis Nemitsas at
The 2012 Nemitsas Prize for Engineering award ceremony on 27/11/2012
Honourable Ministers,
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen:
We are sorry that the President of the Republic could not be present with us tonight.
We have been informed about it just yesterday.
We thank the Minister of Justice and Public Order who represents the President on a very short notice.
We specially thank the President of the Republic who accepted that our ceremony is always under his auspices and also he has given his consent that our function takes place at the Presidential Palace.
We thank Under Secretary to the President Titos Christofides and all the Presidential Palace staff for their undivided willingness to assist, in every way possible, making the best use of this beautiful hall and all the facilities it provides for ceremonies such as the one tonight.
We thank Deputy Minister to the President for European Affairs Mr. Andreas Mavroyiannis for his kind gesture of including our event in Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU event schedule.
We welcome you to tonight's award ceremony of the Nemitsas Prize and thank you for honouring the Foundation, the prize-winner and we, the founders, with your presence.
Please allow me to note that the Nemitsas Foundation is our way of giving something back to the Republic of Cyprus. It is the means through which Cypriot scientists and artists carrying out internationally-recognised work are honoured.
The Nemitsas Prize has been established as, and will remain, our country's award and will be presented by the President of the Republic of Cyprus at the Presidential Palace every year to symbolise the important honour and distinction towards the scientists or artists chosen to be awarded.
I would now like to inform you, in a few words, about the process that was followed in choosing the candidates to be awarded.
Selecting the area of specialisation comes after Coordinating Committee research and subsequent proposal to the Foundation's Board of Directors. Once the choice has been approved, it is announced to the Academic Council, the head of which is based in London, and which is made up of distinguished academics from around the world.
The Academic Council chooses, from amongst its own members or from amongst international personalities in the selected field, five judges to make up the Jury. The Jury members choose their own chairman and prepare to study the applications they will be sent.
The Coordinating Committee prepares the application forms and Andy Bargilly creates the poster. These are placed on the Foundation's website, on the websites of many universities around the world, and on the websites of Cyprus embassies.
The Foundation President, along with the Secretary and Coordinating Committee, methodically begin to announce and promote the sector chosen for the award.
The Foundation's management in Limassol, in cooperation with coordinator Professor Mavronicolas, Vice Rector of the University of Cyprus, send off thousands of e-mails to universities and other scientific centres all over the world. Selecting appropriate centres is a methodical and laborious task. The experience we have already amassed has started to make this huge undertaking easier.
To achieve more effective results, we use the excellent services offered to us by the Republic's Foreign Ministry. The Ministry's Permanent Secretary instructs every ambassador to pass on the message to all the universities and scientific centres in the country they are posted in. Similar announcement assistance is provided by the Press and Information Office.
What follows is the receiving of the applications from prize candidates. Once these are checked and filed in the Foundation's archive, they are sent- electronically- to the chairman of the Jury where their study and evaluation begins.
As a result of three years of persistent and methodical work, the Nemitsas Prize has become established and is recognized as the most significant Cypriot award honouring Cypriot scientists and artists with a presence on the international scene.
With this briefing, I officially announce that this year's Jury, as its chairman Professor Michael Yianneskis will elaborate on shortly, has this year chosen distinguished University of California Davis, USA Professor Kyriacos A. Athanasiou to be awarded in the field of Biomedical Engineering.
Professor Athanasiou's discoveries are based manly around three sectors, which he will present and elaborate on himself shortly. Briefly, these sectors involve: -
1st The invention of a mechanism for administering medication through the bone to patients for which intravenous administration is not possible. This method is being used and has saved thousands of human lives.
2nd The creation of a mechanism through which the formation of diabetic foot ulcers can be anticipated and even avoided. In this way, amputation can be prevented.
3ον Biodegradable implants creating an alternative choice to metal implants as they disappear on their own.
The Professor himself will analyse the details of these inventions shortly.
I will limit myself to noting that the Nemitsas Foundation, with the mechanism we have brought into life, "discovered" Professor Kyriacos Athanasiou, who has Larnaca roots, in far-off California. We are presenting him to you here tonight to honour him and award him in the most resplendent fashion through the President of Cyprus himself in this beautiful, new hall at the Presidential Palace.
I thank you again for your presence. I wish you a pleasant evening full of emotion and pride in the accomplishments of Cypriots, at least for tonight far away from the everyday problems concerning us all.
Takis Nemitsas

Bangladesh for lasting, comprehensive and peaceful solution to the Palestine
2nd December, 2021 04:30:23 PM
Bangladesh has called for making genuine efforts by the international community to address the root causes of the Palestinian crisis, and put an end to Israeli aggression.
"We must ensure Israel's compliance with all international human rights and humanitarian laws, and relevant UN resolutions, including resolution 2334 (2016)," said Bangladesh's UN envoy Rabab Fatima.
She was speaking on Wednesday (Dec 1) at the plenary meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on the agenda item- Question of Palestine.
In her statement, the Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to UN Ambassador Fatima reiterated Bangladesh's unwavering and steadfast support to the just cause of the people of Palestine for an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, under a two-state solution based on the pre-1967 borders.
She referred to the deteriorating situation in occupied Palestinian territory due to demolitions and seizures of homes and structures, and expulsions, forced displacement and bloodshed of Palestinians by Israeli occupation forces.
Ambassador Fatima said that these were blatant disregard to UN resolutions and international human rights and humanitarian law, according to a message received from New York on Thursday (Dec 2).
The Permanent Representative said that the culture of impunity must end and the perpetrators of the atrocity crimes committed against the Palestinian civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory must be held accountable.
She welcomed the ongoing independent, international commission of inquiry to investigate these crimes and also the developments in the International Criminal Court in this regard.
Rabab Farima commended the work of UNRWA and emphasized on addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of the Palestinians including the COVID-19 recovery related needs. She also urged the international community to increase its support to UNRWA.
The Bangladesh Permanent Representative called upon the international community to act in a way to achieve a just, lasting, comprehensive and peaceful solution to the Palestine question through the recognition of an independent State of Palestine with its rightful place in the United Nations.
"The continuation of the Palestinian debate here is a stark reminder of the international community's failure to protect the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people", she added.
