In GlobalGiving's third session of the 2014 Online Fundraising Academy, we invited Maureen Dugan, the Executive Director of Arlington Academy of Hope, to talk about getting ready for a GlobalGiving Bonus Day. Maureen and her team raised $82,000 in matching campaigns on GlobalGiving in 2013! After participating in GlobalGiving's first Online Fundraising Academy last year, Maureen is returning to share her advice and insights with this year's cohort.
Q: How much lead up communications went out by mail and social media? What are your primary communication methods and how much did you invest in each method?
A: AAH mailed twice last year: a mid-year mail with info on upcoming day on GlobalGiving and a year-end mail with appeal for December Microsoft campaign. Mainly use email, and then post on Facebook and AAH website. AAH emails quarterly and annual newsletter. From research, AAH found that 80% of donors prefer updates via email. How you tailor your communications depends on your audience. At GlobalGiving, we also see email as the primary driver of donations.
Q: Do you focus between Bonus Days?
A: AAH mostly focused on Bonus Days because it gives a more compelling message to tell people to give, unless it's a special case. AAH doesn't strongly push recurring donations, but it is beneficial to have some for your partner status.
Q: How do you reach new donors? What does your donor network look like?
A: AAH's primary donor network was parents and teachers in their partner school in Virginia. AAH does presentations in local area to increase awareness. At in person events, have paper resources to give and send people to your website. GlobalGiving also helps to expand network to others with no immediate connections to AAH. Many volunteers and in-field interns turn into donors and share AAH with family. Use existing donors and advocates to spread the word, don't be shy to ask people in communications to share AAH with friends and family.
*Trend from past sessions: Get out and spread the word. Seek new audiences. Participate in conferences, networking opportunities, and meet new people in own community. Use existing donors and advocates to spread the word.
Q: How do you get people to engage in AAH?
A: AAH was featured in the Washington Post and Sunday magazine. AAH also started an intern program for college students to go to Uganda.
Q: Is there a downside to short term volunteers?
A: It takes more time to manage, but short term volunteers may have valuable skills that long term volunteers might not have (for example, social media skills). Need to delegate specific tasks to give students and make sure they're enjoying their time.
Q: How much time did it take you to prep for bonus days?
A: It takes time to think through things in the beginning, create messaging to send out, delegate tasks to others. AAH took a week to talk to the Board. Save time 4-5 days before the event to answer questions.


We had our first ever "CAW Summer Social." It was a great success! There was plenty of good food and cheer for all. Alan and Jackie did a great job hosting the event and are making plans for next year's festivities.
We were led on a tour of Alan's house by past president Ron Befferman. Alan is a master woodworker and has furnished much of his house with his masterpieces. It was obvious to us that woodturning is just one of his many woodworking skills. We also had a tour of Alan's shop. How many people have a carpeted shop????
Alan found the time to do some cleaning in his awesome shop. All the junk he didn't want was lined up for raffle. We raised $49 for the club and took away his merchandise.

Dunsford United Church Bulletin – May 9, 2021
Sunday May 9th, 2021
Prepared by Gloria Thurston
Come and worship God, birth-giver to the world. A mother's love, and teaching is precious. Today we come to know the mothers of our congregation. May they be open to receive your courage and commitment in leading their children in the faith. Strengthen them in this sacred task.
Lighting of the Candles
Light the Christ Candle and say, "We light this candle as a symbol of God's presence here with us today." Light a second candle from the Christ Candle and say, "This candle represents Christ's light in mothers all around the world."
Acknowledgement of the Lands
We acknowledge honour and respect this land and the Anishnabeg/Mississauga people with whom Treaty 20, Williams Treaty, was signed, on the lands where we are, and we acknowledge also and give thanks for the lands and the people of treaties and unceded territories of all who are worshipping. It is up to all of us to live into truth, respect, reconciliation and right relations.
Opening Prayer
God, we thank you for the generations of women who have lived their lives on this earth. We celebrate women of history who have taught us the lessons of the past. We honour the women of our families who teach us how to love and how to live: women of our own stories who help us, guide us, and empower us to live in dignity. You hover over us like a mother hen with her chicks. You shelter us under your wing, and you love us with everlasting love. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
We Hear God's Word
Scripture reading: John 15:9-17 Good News Translation
9 I love you just as the Father loves me; remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
11 "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you. 13 The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them. 14 And you are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I do not call you servants any longer, because servants do not know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because I have told you everything I heard from my Father. 16 You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. 17 This, then, is what I command you: love one another.
HYMN: "Mother and God" VU #280 (Words: Miriam Therese Winter)
Mother and God, to you we sing: wide is your womb, warm is your wing.
In you we live, move and are fed sweet, flowing milk, life giving bread.
Mother and God, to you we bring all broken hearts, all broken wings.
Reflection/Sermon:
Mother's Day has been set aside to honour and show appreciation to our mothers. For many years people wore a flower on Mother's Day – red if your mother was still living, white if she had died. It was a visible way of saying thank-you for life and for all the loving care.
The Bible is a source of guidance and direction for our lives. What are some of the images of mothers and motherhood we see in the scriptures? They are as diverse and challenging as models of women today. There is no single image of the "holy mother," yet every modern mother can find her story in the Bible.
Jochebed, Moses' mother, was protective of her child. Moses should have been killed with the rest of the boy babies, but his mother hid him and kept him alive. She even arranged to be hired as wet nurse for Moses. Jochebed was a clever and courageous mother.
Hannah is the praying mother of scripture. She prayed for a son and her prayer was answered with the birth of Samuel. She decided when he would go to the temple and took him. It was her prayer, her promise from God and her time to act.
The Canaanite woman who had a daughter who was ill, models courage and daring. She went to Jesus and asked for help, then defended herself from insult. She won Jesus' respect and her daughter was healed by him.
Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, let her son go his own way. He should have been a priest like his father but became a wondering prophet.
What about Mary, the mother of Jesus? Is she an example of a perfect mother? She forgot about her twelve-year-old son and left him behind in the temple. She only missed him after a full day's journey. She made mistakes as a mother, just as we all do. But her son forgave her, and one of his last deeds was to see to her well-being after his death.
The single mother, raising a child alone in today's harsh economic times, must be a fighter for her child's rights just as Rebekah was when she obtained the patriarchal blessing for the younger son.
These are some of the biblical mothers whose stories are our stories: strong, active, courageous mothers and women of faith.
Although all of us may not be mothers, all of us have a mother. Whether we love and respect our mother, were disappointed or hurt by our mother, or don't even know who she is, still, we have a mother.
Mothering brings joy and fulfillment to many women. Is there any more tender expression than that of a mother holding her first-born in her arms? The love of a mother for her child is akin to the love God has for each of us. Robert Munsch illustrated it so well in Love You Forever. The mother in the story holds her child in her arms through all of his trials, even when he is an adult. As she does so, she sings to him the love song that is the title of the book. At the end when she is old and frail, he goes to her, holds her in his arms, and lovingly sings the song to her.
As Jan Stobie shares, "I didn't know being a mother would be a life sentence. I expected two a.m. feedings to leave me exhausted but I knew it wouldn't last. I expected defiant two-year-olds to stretch my patience, but I knew that was just a phase. The teenage years were challenging too. I thought there would be a time when it would all be over, and I could let go of worry and responsibility. As a grandmother, I now know that time never comes. We continue to cuddle our children physically, mentally, and emotionally when they are hurt. We never stop loving our child, no matter what."
Knowing that I am not alone in the joy and heartache of motherhood makes all the difference. I draw strength from the knowledge that God is with me always. God comes to me through people, books, animals, using whatever method necessary to open my heart to the Spirit's strength and wisdom. In life, in death and even in motherhood, I am not alone. Thanks be to God.
HYMN: "Would You Bless Our Homes and Families" VU #556 verse 1
Would you bless our homes and families, source of life who calls us here:
in our world of stress and tension teach us love that conquers fear.
Help us learn to love each other with a love that constant stays;
teach us when we face our troubles, love's expressed in many ways.
CLOSING PRAYER:
God, guide, and direct us in our search to give and receive your love. For those who are hurt and lonely, grant your gift of courage, for those who are sick, your gift of strength, and for those who see or fear change, your gift of wisdom. We thank you for your gifts of love we have received through parents, children, friends, and strangers. Lead us to love as we have been loved. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
REFRAIN: (read or sing) "Walk with Me" VU #649 refrain
Walk with me, I will walk with you and build the land that God has planned where love shines through.

Last Thursday, 13 September, TEDxAmsterdam held its first TEDxAmsterdam Award alumni gathering at the sustainably-designed Circl. The evening brought together various contenders from the Award over the years, since its inception in 2010, to connect over their stories and the ideas they took to the TEDxAmsterdam Award.
TEDxAmsterdam Award Director Lodewijk Kleijn welcomed the group, which also included representatives from one of our key partners, Tata Consultancy Services, who will play a key role in the 2018 Award workshops. By a show of hands, the audience indicated their attraction to the first alumni event – with overwhelming votes for curiosity and a desire to reconnect, reflect and share their passions.
2017 Award finalist Anne Kloppenberg from New Electric, shared an update on his idea, which was literally "a garage start up", and the success he's seen since taking part in the experience. Their electric and hybrid vehicles have now expanded to include consumer mobility and marine.
Shifting gears, the group was split into groups around the room to take part in an informal world cafe discussion about the Award experience and their ideas – from challenges and changes to success. This activity proved to be an eye opener, as everyone learnt more about each other's ideas, and how the TEDxAmsterdam Award helped to shape the path they're now on.
"It gives enormous credibility to have your idea on the TEDxAmsterdam stage."
"The audience was critical, which helped me explain my idea more simply."
"Being a part of the Award helped me reconfigure the idea and how we pitched it to possible investors."
Some had come to the Award with a fully-fledged business plan, but, years on, had reworked and redeveloped that plan into something targeted at a different audience all together. Others navigated their way through pitches, business jargon and countless meetings (some with little experience in doing so before) or persisted for years with applications for further support and are finally seeing the fruits of their labours.
Despite a diversity of ideas – from transport and logistics innovation, through to straws made of straw and renewable chemicals, there was a palpable connection and energy in the room among attendees. Not just because many ideas had an eco-focus, but we suspect, because TEDxAmsterdam Award alumni are smart thinkers, innovators and more importantly do-ers. Put a bunch of go-getters who are keen to make an impact in a room and you'll create a buzz!
We were glad to bring so many alumni together and hear their journeys since the Award. The chance to connect and reflect was important for us and proved just as valuable for our guests.
We also caught up with some guests to learn more about their stories in depth. Read them here and revisit where their ideas began.
Want to be part of the TEDxAmsterdam Award?
Where TEDxAmsterdam is about ideas worth spreading, the Award is about ideas worth doing. Are you interested in pitching your idea to the world stage at TEDxAmsterdam? Apply for the 2018 TEDxAmsterdam Award. Learn more and sign up by 12 October here.

Light-emitting diodes effect on Aspergillus species in filtered surface water: DNA damage, proteome response and potential reactivation
Beatriz R Oliveira June 27, 2021 Uncategorized
Environ Pollut. 2021 Jun 9;287:117553. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117553. Online ahead of print.
DNA damage and changes in proteome response can occur as a consequence of UV light exposure. The emerging light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be acquired with different wavelengths. In this study, LEDs that emit at 255 nm and 265 nm were selected to test the DNA damage and proteome response after inactivation of A. fumigatus, A. niger and A. terreus spiked into filtered surface water. Additionally, photoreactivation and dark repair studies were performed to evaluate the potential ability of the spores to recover after UV exposure. Results showed that both LEDs were able to induce the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in A. fumigatus and A. terreus whereas, for A. niger, the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers was only detected when the LEDs that induced inactivation (that emit at 265 nm) were used. Proteome response showed that UV radiation treatment triggered different types of stress response, mainly concerning the protection from oxidative stress by A. fumigatus and A. terreus. Photoreactivation was detected for all the species except A. niger and, no dark repair was observed.

The Potential Perils of Sharing the Road with Big Rigs
By Andi Hogg|February 22nd, 2018|
Driving up next to an 18-wheeler on a busy stretch of highway is not necessarily for the faint of heart. Big rigs have a tendency to move suddenly between lanes, and tractor-trailer drivers have a more limited field of vision than you do in your sedan, SUV, or minivan. However, sharing the road with these [...]

By Andi Hogg|February 19th, 2018|
Severe burn injuries can produce not only excruciating pain, but also long-term disfigurement and disability. Burn injuries often require long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, and sometimes several surgeries. Many types of accidents can precipitate serious burn injuries.

The FDA and Its Inefficient Food Recall Process
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act signed by President Obama in 2011 gave the Food and Drug Administration additional powers to regulate food safety. It enhanced the agency's authority and ability to issue binding recalls of potentially dangerous and contaminated food products. However, the Department of Health and Human Services recently released a report that [...]
New Push in Congress for Sideguard Installations on Tractor-Trailers
One of the most devastating types of crashes on the roadways occurs when a car collides into the side of a tractor-trailer. Many times, following impact, the top of the car itself will be sheared off as the car slides underneath the trailer. Often, the occupants suffer extremely serious injuries, including decapitation. In 2014, the [...]

Why So Many Vehicle Recalls in Recent Years?
By Andi Hogg|February 2nd, 2018|
In 2016, the car industry was the subject of a record number of vehicle recalls – with some 53 million vehicles affected in total. The recall numbers for 2014 and 2015 were 51 million and 51.2 million, respectively. The large volume in recent years was in significant part due to the far-reaching Takata airbag issue [...]
Multi-Car Crashes – Causes and Issues of Liability
By Andi Hogg|January 25th, 2018|
Car crashes that involve only two vehicles are often easier to evaluate in terms of determining who was at fault. However, when three or more vehicles are involved in a traffic accident, assessing liability can become a much more complex exercise. In addition, multi-car wrecks often involve a significant amount of damage spread out among [...]

What Are the Levels of Spinal Cord Injury?
The spinal cord is the information superhighway of your body. It carries messages to and from the brain, telling your body how and when to function.

Where is Grambling State?

Tonight I shot the Georgia-Grambling State game for the AP. Where exactly is Grambling State? I've never heard of it before.
You can read about the game here.
Here are two of the photos I put on the wire.

4 thoughts on "Where is Grambling State?"
Ray Higgins says:
Grambling State University is a public, coeducational university, which is among the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. Located in Grambling, Louisiana, US, Grambling State was founded in 1901.
The school became Grambling College in 1946 named after a sawmill owner, P.G. Grambling, who donated a parcel of land for the school to be constructed. Grambling gained university status in 1974.
The university has distinction of being one of the top U.S. producers of African American graduates, to being the home of legendary football coach Eddie Robinson and its internationally renowned Tiger Marching Band.
Grambling State University emerged from the desire of African-American farmers in rural north Louisiana who wanted to educate other African Americans in the northern and western parts of the state. In 1896, the North Louisiana Colored Agriculture Relief Association was formed to organize and operate a school.
After opening a small school west of what is now the town of Grambling, the Association requested assistance from Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Charles P. Adams, sent to aid the group in organizing an industrial school, became its founder and first president.
Under Adams' leadership, the Colored Industrial and Agricultural School opened on November 1, 1901. Four years later, the school moved to its present location and was renamed the North Louisiana Agricultural and Industrial School. By 1928, the school was able to offer two-year professional certificates and diplomas after becoming a state junior college. The school was renamed Louisiana Negro Normal and Industrial Institute.
In 1936, the program was reorganized to emphasize rural education. It became known as "The Louisiana Plan" or "A Venture in Rural Teacher Education." Professional teaching certificates were awarded when a third year was added in 1936, and the first baccalaureate degree was awarded in 1944 in elementary education.
The institution's name was changed to Grambling College in 1946 in honor of a white sawmill owner, P.G. Grambling, who donated a parcel of land for the school. Thereafter, the college prepared secondary teachers and added curricula in sciences, liberal arts and business. With these programs in effect, the school was transformed from a single purpose institution of teacher education into a multipurpose college. During the 1950s, the college obtained full membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
In 1974, the addition of graduate programs in early childhood and elementary education gave the school a new status and a new name – Grambling State University.
From 1977 to 2000, the university moved and prospered. Several new academic programs were incorporated and new facilities were added to the 384-acre campus, including a business and computer science building, school of nursing, student services building, stadium, stadium support facility and an intramural sports center.
Grambling's sports teams participate in NCAA Division I (I-AA for football) in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).
Grambling State plays its arch rival Southern University in the annual "Bayou Classic," which is hosted in New Orleans over Thanksgiving weekend at the Louisiana Superdome. Broadcast nationally on network television, this bowl game is acknowledged as the largest African American event in America.
Former football coach Eddie Robinson held the NCAA record for most career wins as a head coach at the time of his retirement in 1997.
During Robinson's stellar 57-year coaching career, the University gained a national reputation as being "the cradle of the pros" because of the large number of student-athletes who joined the professional ranks in football, basketball and baseball.
After Robinson's retirement in 1997, former GSU standout and NFL Super Bowl XXII MVP Doug Williams took over the reins of the University's football program. He led the team to national and regional championships.
Currently, the Grambling State University Department of Athletics sponsors Men's Intercollegiate football, along with men's and women's basketball, baseball, track & field, softball, golf, soccer, tennis, bowling and volleyball.
Grambling State's colors are black and gold, with red as a tertiary color symbolizing the blood of people of African descent. The school's mascot is the "Tigers," and its slogan is "Where everybody is Somebody."

BRAVE Combat Federation, a global initiative under the leadership of Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, have launched the trailer of an MMA based film - SMILE.
The film communicates the struggle and success of a MMA athlete and the emerging role of the Bahrain-based initiative - Brave Combat Federation (BCF).
The documentary is based on the life and struggle of Elias "Smile" Boudegezdane. The release of the completed project is scheduled for June 26 to coincide with Eid.
The documentary will also focus on the sport of MMA and the lives of its fighters.
BCF was established as a subsidiary of KHK MMA and took off within one year of incubation to spread its activities across the globe with six events in Brazil, Kazakhstan, India, the UAE and Bahrain.
SMILE has been extensively shot in Montpellier, France and Abu Dhabi.
The project will definitely bring global attention as Arab fighters are yet to make an impact in the global MMA scene.

What keeps Childbirth PTSD symptoms going?
In this series so far we have looked at the phenomenon of childbirth related trauma and PTSD and how the symptoms can emerge as part of our response to threat. This article looks at how PTSD and Trauma symptoms are maintained over time, leaving us to re-experience aspects of the trauma months, and sometimes years later.
What is happening when we develop PTSD?
Imagine that your brain is like a factory. The main task of this factory is to take all of your sensory experiences (the raw materials) and run these along a conveyor belt, where they are processed and packaged into nice little units which can be stored in our long term memory store for remembering later.
The process involves the brain-factory putting a sort of "date-stamp" on the memory, to let us know that this is an event that happened and it is now part of our story – part of our past. When we want to, we can then go into the long term memory store-room and take out a memory, remember it and forget about it again, knowing that we can remember it again if we ever need to again in future.
Your brain is doing this all of the time and we don't really ever think about it.
A trauma event is a little different. Whereas our everyday experiences are generally small, ordinary and easy to process without any special effort, a trauma event comes with uncommonly intense (and frightening!) imagery, emotions, sensations and thoughts, all of which require additional processing from the factory to get it into the long term memory store.
That is, the factory needs to put on overtime to process this traumatic experience and get it into the into the long term memory store.
However, because this memory is so out of the ordinary, with all of its unique scary features, whenever the event gets placed on the conveyor belt, we can become overwhelmed by it and shut down the factory. The processing stops before it is finished.
And so, instead of the memory being processed, date stamped, and packaged into the long term memory store-room, in PTSD we get a raw materials memory, with intense emotion, imagery and sensation at the same intensity as the initial event, as though the event was happening again, in the here and now.
Our efforts not to think about the event mean it remains unprocessed and raw.
Memories rely upon triggers to activate them. If we see a friend that we haven't seen for a while, we're reminded of the good times we've had with them. If we smell sun-tan lotion, we might have the memory of being on San Antonio beach in Ibiza or if we hear the opening synths of Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up" we're reminded of that awkward late-1980's school disco. You get the idea.
When memories have been processed fully, triggered memories like this rarely cause us any difficulties. I "know" that I'm remembering an event because my brain has had time to contextualise the event into part of my past – that is, it has put a "date-stamp" on the memory.
However, when a current trigger activates an unprocessed trauma memory, we get a memory which hasn't had the opportunity to be date-stamped and conextualised as being part of my past experience. We get an overwhelmingly intense re-experiencing of the event as though the event was happening again in the here and now. We call these experiences "Flashbacks".
Because the Flashback can feel so frightening, people often avoid the things which they believe triggered the memory.
So for instance, if I had a flashback to a traumatic birth experience the last time I drove past the hospital, then I might deliberately start to drive via a different route, even if it adds 20 minutes to my journey to work. As a consequence, my fear of the memory then starts to impact upon my day to day functioning (I avoid more and more and I can do less and less) and the memory remains unprocessed, meaning that a flashback can still be triggered by another related trigger; a TV hospital show, for instance. Take a look at the graphic on the left to see the PTSD maintenance cycle in action.
So – we've seen what causes PTSD and trauma symptoms in childbirth, and we've now seen what processes keep them going. But how can we recover from PTSD and Trauma? The first step is getting to know your symptoms and this is covered in more detail in the next article.


I think I just found my new go-to place in Georgetown.
Inexpensive food + homey vibe + nice owners, Simply Banh Mi just does it right.
After hearing about it from a couple of friends, I was determined to cross Simply Banh Mi off my to-visit list. Truth me told, I am a bit of a banh mi snob. I've had a lot of them in my life and I know exactly what I like. While Simply Banh Mi can't offer the $3 sandwiches like those little huts in Little Saigon and Asian grocery stores back home - I mean, this place is Georgetown - for $6.50-$8.50, it is still extremely competitive for DC standards.
Located on Wisconsin Avenue, Simply Banh Mi is quite a small, cosy place. It seats about five to six people but they do offer take-out and delivery which appeared to be quite popular. Because I was the only person in the restaurant, I decided to just eat in. My dining partner and I ordered three sandwiches to split between us: lemongrass chicken, roasted pork belly, and beef chuck.
Sandwiched between a baguette and accompanied by crunchy pickled daikon, cucumber, jalepano, and cilantro, the meats was still wonderfuly warm and moist when they were served to us. While I do wish for the baguette to be a bit crispier (my dining partner thought it was perfect as it) and the carrots and daikon to be a bit more pickled, the over-all sandwich was absolutely delicious. The warm meats contrasted perfectly well with the cool, crunchy veggies and the spicy jalepeno and (self added) sriacha helped cut through the aioli nicely.
As for the meats, my standard for banh mi have always been either lemongrass chicken or pate and vietnamese cold cuts and I was delighted to find the chicken to be extremely generous and moist - probably some of the best chicken I have had in a banh mi.
As for Mama Tran's "world famous" pork belly, warm, juicy, melty, porkiness...yes, yes, yes, yes please! If you are only going to get one sandwich here, this is the one to get. It's world famous for a reason.
The last sandwich to arrive was the lemongrass beef chuck, was is a meat I've never seen used in a banh mi before. The beef was stewed with carrots and other veggies until impossibly tender before being added to the sandwich, which made this sandwich the most moist and hefty out of the three. It reminded me of a Vietnamese beef stew, which is usually served with a baguette on the side, but made portable.
But the food aside, can I just take a moment to give a shout-out to the owners? Simply Banh Mi is owned and ran by a brother-sister-mother trio and they are positively some of the nicest people I have met. Seriously, they absolutely made my day. Even if you don't like sandwiches, go give Simply Banh Mi a visit just to chat with the owners. And tell them I sent you.
Look! They'll even gave you cookies. John (one of the owners) told me that they give "ugly cookies" to all their customers who order a meal. Oh, and he made sure to assure me that the cookies were still delicious. And yup, they were.

The Current Challenges Facing Trainee Doctors in England
Generations of Irish doctors have travelled to England in to obtain training and experience. For most it has been a very valuable and successful career move. In general, English training schemes have been held in high regard by Irish doctors. Thus, it is clear that factors affecting English trainees are also important for young Irish doctors contemplating working in the NHS for a period of time. In the Medical Council's survey, 32% of NCHDs who leave Ireland go to the UK. However, all is not well in the NHS. In recent times English trainees have become increasingly dissatisfied with their working conditions. The problems have been building for some time.
Since 2012 the NHS and the BMA have been in negotiations towards a new contract for junior doctors1. In Oct 2014 the BMA junior doctors committee walked out of negotiations over a new contract. This step reflected the sense of frustration felt by junior doctors about their training and working lives. They were concerned about inflexible placements, training requirements, and roster allocations. The proposed plans for a 7-day service was the catalyst for protests and action. Matters deteriorated further in August 2015 when England's health secretary Jeremy Hunt announced that he would be imposing a new contract. Relations were further soured by his misuse of weekend mortality statistics and by his statement that doctors lacked commitment.
In October 2015 there were street protests by thousands of doctors. These received wide media cover. In January 2016 junior doctors began a series of strikes. In was the first such industrial action in 40 years. In May 2016 the BMA negotiated a revised contract. Although the new contract was endorsed by the chair of the junior doctors committee, it was rejected in a subsequent ballot. The doctors felt that many issues affecting their working lives remained unresolved.More recently, a group of 5 junior doctors (Justice for Health) took a high court action against Jeremy Hunt2. They contended that he was acting outside his legal powers when he announced that he was imposing the new contract after it had been rejected. However, Mr. Justice Green found in favour of Mr. Hunt. He ruled that Hunt acknowledged that he had no power to impose the new contract. Mr. Hunt was approving the contract but not compelling employers to adopt it. However it is known that he has achieved consensus with employers that the proposed new terms and conditions represent a fair and workable basis upon which to proceed. The junior doctors committee has stated that the ruling will do nothing to reduce doctors' fears about the imminent introduction of a flawed contract that they have already rejected. The sense of anger and mistrust persists. The problem facing the doctors, however, is that all the power sits with the NHS is a powerful, monopoly employer.
Neena Modi3, president of RCPCH, has stated that the ruling is the latest twist in a long drawn out damaging dispute. It has brought thousands of doctors on to the street to protest. Junior doctors were driven to industrial action for the first time in many decades. The breakdown in the relationship between the Government and the trainees represents a catastrophic failure of senior leadership at all levels. Modi points out that the pace of costly, untested reorganizations is extraordinary. Funding is at an all time low and services are being withdrawn. The junior doctors' protest is an expression of breaking point frustration with their training and a wake up call to the true state of the NHS. She goes on to state that there is a need to restore trust and morale. Young doctors must be respected and treated as professionals. The imposed contract is damaged goods. It should be discarded and replaced with one drawn up on a clean sheet.
On October 4th Hunt announced that he was increasing the number of medical students by 25%. From Sept 2018 England will train up to 1500 more doctors every year4. The aspiration is to expand the number of home grown doctors and to replace doctors recruited from overseas. The number of medical school places currently stands at 6000 per year and has decreased by 2%. Commentators have pointed out that the expansion in student numbers will take at least 10 years to have any effect. It will require the creation of new medical schools or the expansion of existing ones. There is also criticism of the proposal to 'conscript' newly trained doctors to the NHS for 4 years unless they repay part of the cost of the £220,00 to train them. The key to keeping doctors in the country is to develop the right training environment for them. Trainees need to be supported and valued rather coerced. Fiona Godlee, BMJ stated that penalizing trainees who leave the health service is ripe with unforeseen consequences. It represents playing to the gallery rather than tackling the more fundamental problems in the NHS.
Another proposed measure is to charge overseas medical students the full cost of their training. This may be counterproductive and reduce international students interest in coming to England. There has been considerable correspondence about the large contribution that foreign doctors have made to the NHS. Overseas doctors currently make up 25% of the workforce. They have added to the exchange of ideas, skill sets and knowledge between countries.
What appears to have been forgotten by the authorities on other side of the Irish sea is that junior doctors are at a vulnerable phase of their career and their lives. Anxiety and uncertainty are common sentiments among trainee doctors. Their jobs are without security of tenure. Their future in the profession is dependent on passing postgraduate exams, displaying clinical efficiency, and making a suitable impression on their senior medical supervisors. Support, mentoring, encouragement, and mutual trust are key components in a good postgraduate training programme.
Recently, Cork University Hospital (CUH) published a Charter to improve junior doctor's conditions. Mr. Tony McNamara, CEO at CUH, said that in Cork EU compliance is 96% for shifts and 80% for the 48 hour week. The unmeasurable is the quality of the relationship between hospital management, consultants, and trainee doctors. Colm Henry pointed out that in the past NCHDs had not been fully respected or valued. The overall conclusion is that there must be continued planning and investment in the training of junior doctors.

Nielsen Mobile App Review: Is It Legit Or A Scam? Do You Really Get $50 To Download The App?


Two RBS bankers have walked away from a £3m property fraud without having to complete jail time because the judge believes they have already "suffered" as they were "embarrassed" by the incident.
Raymond Pask, 54, and his employee Andrew Ratnage, 50, established a series of fake companies in the names of Pask's relatives so they could apply for mortgages to buy and renovate homes and then sell them for a profit.
The loan applications were submitted to the bankers' employers so they could pass it without drawing attention to themselves.
The bankers, who both earned in excess of £100,000 a year, managed to ascertain loans totalling £3m over a five-year period from 2005.
With the loans, they managed to buy three properties in London, one in Essex and another in Kent.
She said: "I accept that it was not your intention to cause loss to the bank. I accept you intended at all times for the money to be repaid and it has been fortunate the bank has not suffered.
"I have no doubt that both of you have suffered in the time it has taken this case to come to court."
Pask has had to deal with a failed marriage in this time and he has had his pension pot reduced to £120,000 – he claims he is now "financially ruined".
Meanwhile, Ratnage has suffered from poor health including diabetes.
Judge Poulet continued: "You were in effect greedy. You were acting in a breach of trust. It was sophisticated and sustained and to an extent involved others – the nominees of the companies.
"The public must be discomforted by hearing the details of your criminal conduct. But it did not involve loss to your employers and the actual risk was at least limited.
"You have expressed shame and embarrassment at what you have done - as well you might."

We received your letter dated 2/15 today. The carwashes do not belong to [redacted]. [redacted] are general contractors and have no interest in the carwashes.The owner is L & D Carwashes, Inc. The reply is from L & D Carwashes, Inc. - not [redacted]We require all complaints to...
be registered within 24-hours at our self-serve carwash facilities. This has been in effect since we acquired the washes a few years ago. We have the phone number and directions for complaints posted at each of four different locations:The person complaining had a problem on 1/26/17 and did not make his complaint until 2/3/17. The caretaker he saw did not give him owner information, he gave him the number for the complaint line. We video all washes and that is why we require a 24-hour limit as to how far we will go back. The complaint line does not have an attendant to call people back. The complaints are received and if timely, are viewed and action is taken accordingly, by text. Since there was an eight (8) day period between the problem and the call, the call was disregarded. He did continue to call the complaint line - which states that calls will not be addressed if the complaints are not timely. He gave most of the requested information adding the unrequested information that he also had blue eyes too indicating that he was disturbed at having to furnish what was needed. The carwashes do not have a physical office. He did call the owner's office and the phone was busy and the call was forwarded to voice mail but did not leave a message. He came to the owner's office which is another business, looking for the carwash owners. He was argumentative and demanded to know why his complaint was not viewed on the videos and his call returned.. He was not told that the video was not viewed because of pranksters. He was told that there had been too much time elapsed and too many washes to go back through because the complaint was not registered as posted. He asked if we had that many calls for complaints and was told no but there were too many videos and that we did get some prank calls. The message did change recently to reemphasize the posted limitations. The posted limitations have been on the machines since we purchased them a number of years ago. He stated that he did not see the posted instructions.L&D Carwashes, Inc.[redacted]

As parents, we are quite familiar with making sacrifices for our children; for putting their needs before out own. But the sacrifices that are necessary to attend a private treatment program can be daunting. There is certainly a financial sacrifice but there is also the sacrifice of time, the willingness to have others come along side of you to help raise your child for a time, to give up the comfort and control of having him or her at home, and the sacrifice of disrupting family traditions, routines and vacations. Most parents recognize that the sacrifices are necessary and has they would if they were dealing with a medical illness, accept the sacrifices in exchange for the healing and recovery that they desire for their child. Hope if free but there is a cost to taking action. But there is often a greater cost to not taking action.

The winter cold of 27 degree in January average in Stockholm, Sweden, let alone food growing in winter is unimaginable with no heat sources. There is no better way than using free sun energy and no worries for solar panels and high voltage electricity.
Marie Granmar and Charles Sacliotto, with their young son did that. Their house is all environment friendly and has a greenhouse. Sustainable living!
They named this Naturhaus and inspiration was the Swedish eco architect Bengt Warne, Sacliotto's mentor.
Imagine reading a book and sunbathing in dead winter! Imagine veggies and fruits nearby!
This is the thing; sunlight will warm up the home and growing area daily. The rest of heat is stored in the bedrock. The roof deck is open for the rest of the year. See the video for more info.
This family also gets rainwater and uses it for plant watering and also they compost the waste of kitchen.
Also, Sacliotto, an engineer made the sewage for the house. Fair Companies said the sewage starts with urine-separating toilet and has centrifuges, grow beds, cisterns and garden ponds for water filtering and composting remains.

Q: Combining Azure Monitor charts from different resources in one chart I was wondering if it was possible to combine 3 different metric charts in one chart.
I know this is possible when these are metrcics for 1 resource. but i want to combine 3 metrics charts of 3 resources (one resource type) into 1 chart.
From this
[
To this

PS: For extra information , the resource type I want to deploy this for is anaylis service. this is to get a better overview of all resources of analysis service in 1 chart

A: Yes, you can combine metrics from multiple resources into a single chart.  In the portal, go to the Azure Monitor blade and click on Metrics.  From there, you can build a single chart with metrics from multiple resources.
There are other options available too for visualizing your data that include Azure services (ie: Log Analytics, App Insights, etc.) and other 3rd party solutions.  More details here.

A: You can't do this in the default metrics explorer charts, as these only look at a single resource. To look across multiple resources you need to send you metric data into log analytics then use the data explorer to create a query that gets you the data you want and chart that.

Support De Leidsche Flesch and celebrate 100 years of science
Deadline 25 Feb 2023 25/02/2023
Still to go:
Children's symposium
Goals achieved
Did you know that Albert Einstein conducted research at Leiden University? Or that the first capacitor – a now indispensable technology – was invented here, in the form of a Leyden jar (Leidsche Flesch). And that from 1908 the Kamerlingh Onnes building was known as the coldest point on earth because the eponymous physicist liquefied helium here by cooling it to -272.20 °C?
Besides Einstein, famous scientists like Niels Bohr, Willebrord Snellius and Paul Ehrenfest carried out research in Leiden. But even today, both our programmes and our research rank highly in the Netherlands and the whole scientific world.
Time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our study association for physics, astronomy, mathematics and computer science!
Why do we need your contribution?
We want to introduce as many people as possible, young and old, to all that is unique about science. With the donations received so far, we have already been able to hold an exhibition about the Fibonacci sequence in nature during Museum Night and add background information from our degree programmes to the exhibitions at Museum Boerhaave. And we have already raised enough funds to unveil the wall formula for De Leidsche Flesch in style. A huge thanks to all our donors for this.
Our third goal is to hold a free interactive symposium for children from Leiden and the surrounding area. This symposium is planned for Saturday 25 February and is aimed at children in years 6 to 8 of primary school. It will consist of an afternoon full of interactive sessions on mathematics, physics, astronomy and computer science. We hope to spark the children's interest in the exact sciences and inspire them to study science when they are older.
With this crowdfunding campaign we want people to experience how unique the exact sciences are in Leiden – and what they have already achieved. We need money to realise our plans.
Please join us, so we can achieve the following goals:
€ 500: exhibition on mathematics in nature during Museum Night 2022.
€ 750: additions to exhibitions at Museum Boerhaave.
€ 1000: unveiling of capacitor wall formula.
€ 3000: holding a free symposium for children from Leiden and the surrounding area.
> € 3000: hiring materials for experiments and tests that the children can perform themselves.
Donate to De Leidsche Flesch's special anniversary
In exchange for your donation, you can receive several rewards. To see what these rewards are, take a look at the right side of the page. These rewards can be stacked, so a donation of €19.23 for example, will earn you both a goodie and an honourable mention on the website.
To find out more about our initiatives, see all milestones in the menu at the top.
Exclusive experience!
The donors who sponsor the most will receive a gift in the shape of an exclusive experience! They can suggest a subject and we will find a professor to give a lecture on this. We will also arrange a meet and greet with said professor before or after the lecture. The lecture itself will be open to students, staff and alumni too.
Only the biggest donors can earn this unique gift. If you are one of them, we'll contact you at the end of the sponsorship campaign.

We are the Lustrum committee of De Leidsche Flesch, a study association for mathematics, computer science, physics and astronomy at Leiden University. In the 2022-2023 academic year, we are celebrating our 100th anniversary and we want to express not only what a friendly association it is but also how much scientific value it has.
The Lustrum committee consists of five students and one alumnus from different backgrounds, who have volunteered to fill the year with various activities: from a party on a boat to a science symposium, from additions to exhibitions to a festival. For more information about us see defles.ch/lustrum.
Do you have any questions about our crowdfunding or the lustrum in general? Feel free to contact us!
You can reach us at lustrum@deleidscheflesch.nl.
Children's symposium
Youth are the future: there's a lot of truth to this adage. In honour of our centenary, we want to spark the enthusiasm of children from Leiden and the surrounding area for our programmes. On Saturday 25 February 2023, we will be holding a free afternoon for all children, from years 6 to 8 at primary school in particular, with interactive presentations, games and tests.
The location hasn't yet been finalised, but we are hoping it will be one of Leiden University's fantastic buildings. We have the Old Observatory in mind, which would mean we could also include a tour of the Observatory and the Hortus botanicus.
The lectures will be given by our own students. Students from the Master's in Science Communication and Society are particularly involved in developing the talks. Through ICLON – Leiden University's teacher training programme – the event will be promoted to as many schools in the province of Zuid-Holland as possible.
We hope that the money raised will cover the costs of the venue. If we can crowdfund €3000, this will get us a long way. If we raise extra funds on top of that, we will use these to hire equipment so the children can do their own experiments and tests. At the end of the day, we want to give the children a goodie bag to take home with relevant mementoes, such as yoyos, a spinning top, booklets and so on.
Donate now and we'll keep you posted!
Museum Night
There is a lot of knowledge within our degree programmes that is a good match with Leiden's museums, but currently there is no way to share that knowledge. On Museum Night on 28 May 2022, we therefore collaborated with several museums to provide supplementary information for their collections.
We put on an exhibition on mathematics in nature at the Hortus botanicus during Museum Night, for example. There are lots of mathematical patterns in nature, but where do they come from? The exhibition was mainly about the Fibonacci sequence and we developed it ourselves with the aid of crowdfunding.
If you missed our exhibition on Museum Night, you'll find an interesting series of videos on YouTube about the link between the Fibonacci sequence and nature.
We also collaborated with Museum Boerhaave. This consisted of providing additional information about objects in their exhibitions. We explained how these objects are seen from our scientific perspective. The pieces included a QR code that led to further information on our site about the object. The crowdfunding enabled us to hire a professional translator to translate the texts into English and thus reach the widest possible audience.
The objects, texts and tour can be found at https://www.deleidscheflesch.nl/sites/lustrum/100/museum/museum/.
Wall formula
Murals of various scientific formulas can be found on the walls of Leiden. These are the initiative of researchers from Leiden University's Institute of Physics. The last formula in the series will share our association's name. A Leyden Jar (Leidsche Flesch) is the world's very first capacitor, an object that can store electricity. A mural will therefore be created in the centre of Leiden showing the formula of this capacitor. This will be added to the existing collection of wall formulas on muurformules.nl and will be used during tourist walks and by schools to tell this part of Leiden's history.
We are keeping the location of the formula to ourselves for now, but hope to unveil the formula to the city in the 2022 – 2023 academic year. As this formula completes the Leiden Wall Formulas project, we want the unveiling to capture the attention. Our focus will be on the residents of Leiden and the local media. Your donation will help provide the resources needed to draw the biggest possible crowd as possible to the unveiling.
€ 500: mounting an exhibition on mathematics in nature during Museum Night 2022

When there isn't enough saliva, the concurrent danger of attention disease increases which is in fact another important factor which can consider for anyone considering to obtain dental implant.
One disorder with terrible kidney cancer and substandard oral healthcare is that a majority of these predicaments can become worse each different kinds of. Poor oral health gets bigger the threat of in this enclosed entering often the bloodstream and affecting renal system disease.
Additionally, of us with loose or missing teeth could often uncover its very uncomfortable – eat properly and ailing nutrition has the ability to affect the entire kidneys. Apparently, people featuring chronic renal system disease continue to be less almost definitely to trip dentists compared to healthier patients.
A be short of of effective dental want increases its likelihood on dental plaque which turn increases the risk of nicotine gum disease.

Yedlin: Trade threats bring more uncertainty for Canadian economy
The outlook for Canada's economy remains uncertain, especially with respect to the direction trade policy south of the border appears to be taking. That was among the key messages Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz offered during an interview Tuesday afternoon. "We don't know what sort of alterations to the trade architecture might be in store — and how quickly it might happen," said Poloz, who was the featured speaker at a lecture hosted by the University of Alberta's School of Business.

Canadians shouldn't ignore trade danger from American protectionism, Brian Mulroney warns
Canadians will have to work hard to ensure the country doesn't become a target of American protectionism, former prime minister Brian Mulroney says. "We have to be vigilant in safeguarding that market," Mulroney said in a speech Thursday at Edmonton's FarmTech 2017, Canada's largest crop production and farm management conference. "Americans are frustrated by the slow recovery of their economy. Open trade agreements have become an easy whipping boy...Canada will have to work hard to maintain the access we have." READ MORE
China's factories don't fear Trump
President Donald Trump seems determined to start a fight with China over trade. He's appointed notable China skeptics to his economic team, badgered companies like Apple Inc. to stop making products on the mainland, and threatened tariffs of 45 percent on Chinese goods. He hopes to get companies to move their manufacturing operations back home and create jobs in American factories. It won't work. In fact, it's likely to hurt the very voters he's promised to protect.

From TPP to NAFTA: International trade in Trump's America
By Katherine Radin
When I wrote about the signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership in November of 2015, I concluded by asking where we would be in a year. At the time, the Canadian political landscape had seen the election of Liberal leader Justin Trudeau to replace Conservative leader Stephen Harper as the prime minister of Canada. A year later, the political landscape has changed once again, this time with the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States of America. READ MORE

How we can make NAFTA great again
U.S. President Donald Trump has NAFTA in his sights. His daily decrees have friends and foes in an uncertain mindset. Yet we cannot risk being anything but active and agile in making Canada's case for continued robust free trade between our three nations. Mexico enjoys a trade surplus through NAFTA and exports significantly more goods and services to the U.S. than it receives. That must change says Trump. READ MORE

Trump will need imports for his domestic priorities
There's no doubt that U.S. roads, airports and bridges are in great need of repair. It's equally clear that sourcing raw materials requires open markets. The trouble is that rebuilding U.S. infrastructure and anti-trade policies don't go together. Among President Donald Trump's many loosely packaged proposals are the $1 trillion in U.S. infrastructure spending and the simultaneous threat to impose trade measures on the nations from which we source our commodities.

CO2 mitigation measures for transport will not achieve climate ambitions
Current and foreseeable policies to mitigate carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions from global transport activity will not suffice to achieve the international community's climate ambitions, a new study published by the International Transport Forum finds. Continued strong growth in demand for mobility means that even in the most optimistic scenario, transport CO2 emissions in 2050 will still be at 2015 levels of around 7.5 giga-tonnes, according to projections published in the ITF Transport Outlook 2017.

Amazon chooses Cincinnati for new worldwide hub
By Matt Falcus
Online retail giant Amazon began flying its own packages last year when it started leasing cargo planes and flying them under the Prime Air brand. Now, the company has announced plans to open its largest worldwide air hub — investing $1.49 billion in a new home for its operations at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport. This major change in the way Amazon deals with its deliveries came about last year when it sought to reduce reliance on courier companies such as FedEx and UPS. READ MORE
Tonnage growth of 4.1 percent at Halifax Stanfield in 2016
Halifax Stanfield International Airport saw cargo growth of 4.1 per cent in 2016 compared to 2015. The Canadian gateway handled 33,329 tonnes and says much of that freight was Nova Scotian lobster.

IATA: Air cargo outperforms expectations in 2016
Freight volumes outperformed forecasts in 2016 with 3.8 per cent growth helped by strong recovery in the second half of the year, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) says. Global airfreight volumes had a weak start to the year but picked up in the second half with a strong peak season, increased shipments of silicon materials and a turnaround in new export orders. Freight tonne kilometres surged 9.8 per cent in December, which IATA says may have been because of the early timing of Lunar New Year. READ MORE
