SNF-to-Home Transition Program Saves $3.9M Annually
By Joyce Famakinwa | June 18, 2019 June 18, 2019
Programs that help nursing home residents transition back into their communities can make all the difference in helping them return home safely. And home-based care providers often play an important role in that process.
That's according to a recent study published in the journal Health Services Research.
Conducted by researchers from Purdue University, University of Minnesota and Harvard Medical School, the study examines the state of Minnesota's Return to Community Initiative (RTCI), a statewide program to help private-pay nursing home residents return to the community and stay there without converting to Medicaid.
The RTCI program helps non-Medicaid nursing home residents by assisting with discharge planning, transition back into the community and post-discharge follow-up. Often, that planning includes home care or home health care.
"Home health or home care is one of the top service areas individuals assisted through the program were being connected with," Zachary Hass — an assistant professor at Purdue University's schools of nursing, an industrial engineering and the lead author of the study — told Home Health Care News.
As part of the study, Hass and fellow researchers evaluated the impact of RTCI on community discharges for nursing home residents, looking to determine the program's direct impact.
Researchers examined the data of more than 18,000 Minnesota nursing home residents who were admitted into nursing home settings between 2014 and 2016, who were non-Medicaid at admission and who remained in the nursing home for at least 45 days.
Overall, researchers found that an estimated 11% of nursing home residents assisted by RTCI would have remained in the nursing home long-term without the program.
Additionally, the study found that the program saved $3.9 million annually over a four-year period. The annual budget was $3.5 million for the services across Minnesota.
"The program is effective in helping nursing home residents return home," Hass said. "They are able to stay in the community for a meaningful amount of time, and all of this without costing the state additional money."
The success of Minnesota's RTCI and similar programs could mean more referrals for in-home providers.
The program utilizes home-based care providers to ensure a safe return to the home, according to Hass, who also serves as core faculty for the Regenstrief Center for Health Care Engineering at Purdue.
Over the years, health care policymakers have attempted to curb spending by moving care into the home.
"Around 80% of individuals assisted through the program were needing that type of service for some length of time," Hass said. "Home health plays a crucial role in making the return to community possible, opening the door for many older adults with lower care needs to receive that care in the place they prefer, at a much cheaper cost than in a nursing home."

ONCE UPON A TIME's Weekly Battle with Legal Dragons
Sarah Katz 2014-05-29
Sarah Katz · 05/29/2014
ABC's fairy tale drama Once Upon a Time has taken audiences to fan-favorite fictional worlds including the Enchanted Forest of Snow White and the Evil Queen, Peter Pan's Neverland, and most recently, Dorothy's Oz. What most viewers don't realize, however, is how many legal dragons creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis had to slay on the way.
At its 2011 inception, Once Upon a Time's storylines were consciously limited to "characters from ABC's parent company, Disney, and classic fairy-tale characters in the public domain to avoid . . . outside rights, permissions, and fees." [EW (Nov. 18, 2011) at 3] Sadly, this menagerie did not include the likes of Peter Pan or Captain Hook.
How is it possible that Peter Pan has not fallen into the public domain? Well, that is a tall tale of its own…
© 1953 Walt Disney Studios | © 2014 American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.
J. M. Barrie introduced Peter Pan in his 1902 novel The Little White Bird. In 1904, Barrie staged a play titled Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, which he adapted as a 1911 novel, Peter and Wendy. Eight years before his 1937 death, Barrie transferred the play's copyright to a London children's hospital. When the play's copyright expired fifty years later, the British government passed section 301 of the Copyright, Designs and Patent Act (1988)—granting the hospital a royalty right vis-à-vis "the public performance, commercial publication or communication to the public of the play . . . or of any adaptation of that work, notwithstanding that copyright in the work expired on 31st December 1987"—effectively protecting Peter Pan from ever growing up and aging-out of copyright protection.
As with its original modifications of so many other heroes and heroines, Once Upon a Time circumvented this copyright obstacle via creativity, taking only unprotected elements—ex. names, titles, and short phrases—and changing everything else.
More recently, Once Upon a Time likewise avoided copyright complications in its incursion to Oz by skipping down the now public-domain yellow-brick road of L. Frank Baum's creation, rather than that of Warner Bros.' 1939 film adaptation. [See THR (Feb. 27, 2013) ¶¶ 23-24.] This meant "silver shoes with pointed toes" rather than ruby slippers, and a new shade of Wicked Witch green. [See THR (Feb. 27, 2013) ¶ 34.]

Long live Horowitz and Kitsis, the kings of copyright creativity, whose Once Upon a Time will return to ABC for a fourth season in fall 2014.

In our collective imagination, the word Laser evokes sci-fi movies and high-tech secret agent devices. But, nowadays lasers are common tools found in very different environments: from dvd players in our homes to laser pointers at work, from disco to surgical theatres, laser devices have been developed for surprisingly diversified applications.
In health care, high power lasers are used daily for surgical and cosmetic interventions, but another category of medical lasers is currently on the rise - therapeutic lasers for low level laser therapy (LLLT).
An ever-growing body of evidence shows the benefits of LLLT for musculoskeletal conditions, wound healing and pain management. NHS hospitals, like St Thomas' in London, use K-Laser for treating chronic inflammations and hypersensitivity, or post-operatively for accelerating the healing processes of damaged tissues and reduce scar formation. But also, as a non-pharmaceutical option for pain management for a variety of syndromes including arthritis, fibromyalgia and back pain.
In the private sector K-Laser Therapy is used for speeding up the recovery of athletes following sport injuries: teams like Swansea Football Club have seen the average recovery time of their injured players drop to the shortest it has ever been historically since they added the K-Laser, an advanced Class IV therapeutic laser, to their standard of care.
The Acute Podiatry clinic, and the Tissue Viability team at St Thomas' Hospital and in the Southwark and Lambeth community services used the same device for treating pressure ulcers, diabetic wounds and bedsores, with impressive accelerated wound healing results. The clinical data produced over three years of trials was so convincing that one K-Laser was purchased straightaway, and a bid for two more units was placed short after.
A study on diabetic foot ulcers demonstrated that 80% of patients treated with K-Laser healed completely within a month, whilst none of the patients in the control group (treated with standard of care but no LLLT) was healed after three months. The Class IV laser treatment had spared the patients many months of discomfort and potential infections, and saved St Thomas' hospital hundreds of thousands of pounds in professional care and consumables during this study alone.
Furthermore, a string of single cases with various non-healing wounds showed significant improvements: from a one-year old ulcer unresponsive to standard care that healed in 3 weeks, to a recurrent pressure ulcer that healed in 2 weeks instead of the usual average of 2 months in a diabetic elderly patient.
Several cases with recurrent diabetic pressure ulcers showed faster resolution compared to previous breakdowns. Following this body of evidence King's College is now preparing a large scale, multi-centre study to confirm these early results.
Today St Thomas' K-Laser Therapy clinic is one of the highest earning clinics in St Thomas' hospital, and the top one for patient compliance (93%) - so popular that the Hand Therapy department needed to double up the clinic's hours from three to six days a week.
Not only the consultants are prescribing the therapeutic laser for growing number of ailments, but the patients themselves are asking for it after having had a successful first course. Some travelling as far as Surrey, Kent and Essex for having their treatment at St Thomas' in central London.
Patients in fact love the treatment, as unlike others it is not painful and induces a soothingly warm sensation. The laser is moved over the injured area and its surroundings without touching the skin, which makes it a favourite to those patients with severe pain and hypersensitivity, and particularly non-invasive for treating wounds.
The device produces a red and infra-red laser beams with specific wavelengths of light that have been found to have stimulate cellular properties in human tissues. In fact, the human body reacts to light: the skin becomes tanned, Vitamin D is produced, and Serotonin is released in our system when sun bathing. Four decades of medical research into the interaction of light and tissues allowed scientists to identify which wavelengths can have damaging effects (like UV light) and which ones have positive, stimulating effects (like infra-red light, used in therapeutic lasers).
These beneficial wavelengths of light, isolated and calibrated in specific dosages, penetrate through our tissues and are absorbed at cellular level, where light-receptors activate a cascade of photo-chemical reactions that boosts cellular metabolism, activating the healing process. Depending on the wavelengths used, that vary between devices, various reactions can be obtained: circulation can be boosted, oxygenation can be maximised, inflammation can be reduced, cell growth encouraged, and nerve activity regulated.
In short, the laser beam activates the natural reparative processes in our body, providing the much-need extra energy that the tissues require to heal themselves. Whether skin or tendons, deep muscles, cartilage or bone fractures, any tissue can be treated. A good therapeutic laser can generate the right combination of wavelengths, power and frequencies to suit the specific case, tailoring the protocol not only on the condition, but also on the individual, based on body size and general health conditions.
Depending on the performance potential of the device, we can obtain a vast array of treatments. But the effectiveness of the laser therapy is only as good as the device: if the machine is poorly built, is not powerful enough and can produce only one or two wavelengths, with set frequencies the effects of the therapy are going to be limited. Lack of government and EU regulation means laser therapy equipment needs only prove safety and not effectiveness to get a sales license.
If instead the machine is technologically advanced, is powerful and features various wavelengths, the outcomes are much better. An advanced Class IV laser can stimulate superficial and deep healing of tissues, and reduction of pain or inflammation across a wide range of human clinical ailments and disorders and can be used post-surgical to accelerate and enhance rehabilitation.
Furthermore, LLLT is a localised intervention: unlike medications it does not affect the whole body, meaning that patients with other conditions can safely receive Laser Therapy for wounds or back pain without the fear that it affects the rest of the body or conflict with medications. Nor Laser Therapy has proper side effects of its own: unless the patient is unusually photosensitive (cannot be exposed to sunlight at all), anybody can have laser treatment.
A fragile elderly patient who is already undergoing several pharmaceutical treatments can be spared excessive use of anti-inflammatories and painkillers using Laser Therapy instead.
The K-Laser session lasts from 3 to 6 ½ minutes depending on the condition, and any nurse or manual therapist can perform the treatment, if they have received proper training. The training is usually provided by the laser company and consists in a one-day course with online training modules. A physician will monitor the patient as usual but doesn't need to be present during the session.

WNBA in Milwaukee?

Sounds like the billionaire owner of the Bucks may be interested.
https://www.tmj4.com/sports/basketball/milwaukee-bucks/billionaire-bucks-owner-wants-to-bring-a-new-professional-sports-team-to-milwaukee
"We're looking at sort of investing in another sports franchise that we would try to bring here to Milwaukee," Lasry said.
Lasry announced Friday morning at the Milwaukee Business Journal Power Breakfast , that he has his eye on a new franchise, and although he didn't say which sport or which league he did say it's a women's professional team.

On the one hand, it would be great if the Liberty found a home and an owner who cared, and even greater if there was actual cash involved in the sale of the franchise.
But on the other, the league almost has to have a team in New York (or somewhere near).

What's your rationale again, some sort of old school thinking? A franchise in NYC isn't practical now, and the way the Liberty are being handled isn't exactly painting the WNBA in a flattering light.

While Lasry said this is something he's working on, he didn't give a definitive date on when Milwaukee might see the new team in town. He also said the team wouldn't play at Fiserv Forum and only attract about 1,000 people per sporting event.
Not very high hopes. Who would bring a WNBA an only expect it to draw about 1000 people. Why would they play in an arena that seats 17,500?
Randy wrote:
Not necessarily. They could try to bring an expansion team in, but an already existing team may be closer to being a winner.
It'd be nice to get past the point of teams moving from city to city to actual expansion so the league might actually grow in popularity having more nationwide exposure.
Maybe he went to a Sky game? 🤷🏻♂
He said they wouldn't play at Fiserv Forum, not would.
toad455
They have that nice new arena, why not put the team in Fiserv to fill dates in the summer? Maybe they could play at Panther Arena? Seats 10,000+ for basketball. Panther Arena currently houses the Milwaukee Panthers(NCAA), Milwaukee Wave(MASL), Milwaukee Admirals(AHL). Panther Arena also housed the WBL's Milwaukee Does from 1978-1980.

Makes more sense now. Glad you caught that. Still expecting only about 1k fans per game does not sound like a WNBA team. (And even if he did go to a Sky, Liberty or Dream game - why would he admit that up front?) NWSL teams also seem to have a lot more fans showing up for games as well. What else is there? Volleyball?

Milwaukee already has an indoor soccer team and a minor league hockey team. Maybe an arena football team? But it clearly states women's pro team. Maybe the NWHL?

I went to most of the Sky preseason games that were played at the Al McGuire Center. There was never a large audience at the games. But the people that were there loved the games.
Sky Nation! We are in this together!
In reading the article again, I wonder if I misread the 1,000 per game comment (along with wouldln't for would*) . Maybe he was saying the wouldn't play in the Bucks arena and only draw 1000 per game." In other words -the plan isn't to have a team drawing lousy crowds in the Bucks huge arena.

The pro women's team currently in Milwaukee are the Milwaukee Aces. Perhaps they are being watched as to what the current fan base is in the city regarding women's bb.

The only notable player I could find that played in that league was Yvonne Turner(2016 - Nebraska Strikers; WNBA's Mercury 2017-present).
The Al McGuire Center on Marquette University holds just 3,700. And looks like it's mostly bleacher seating.
UW Milwaukee Panther Arena holds 10,783.
New York and L.A. remain the most powerful media centers in the country, and national coverage is affected by presence in both those cities.
The WNBA has a reasonably high profile in cities with a franchise, but it is otherwise pretty much invisible in the rest of the country (aside from those of us here). Subtracting New York would be a huge blow to the league, in many ways. (If you can't make it in New York, a basketball hotbed, what are the odds in Milwaukee?)

With a push from the NHL, the 2 women's pro leagues, NWHL and CWHL, seem to be getting closer to a merger. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks' owner was talking about hockey not basketball.

the NWHL is discussed here: http://boards.rebkell.net/viewtopic.php?t=94390
The merger seems 95% likely to happen. Along with potential expansion teams in Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Chicago & Detroit. Maybe Milwaukee joins instead of Chicago.

It seems like the WNBA has almost no national coverage. I think it is limited to the ESPN.com WNBA section, which puts out a small number amount of articles, with I believe the majority written by Michele Voepel. Since they are contractually obligated to broadcast WNBA games on ESPN2, they would probably want to keep that section even without a New York team.

Milwaukee is less than 100 miles from Chicago, so it would be odd just for spacing reasons to add a WNBA team there.

Milwaukee has NBA and MLB teams.
The college teams UW-Milwaukee and Marquette are pretty respectable basketball-wise, so you can probably draw interest from those fans plus neighboring Green Bay.
Beaver Dam, WI, has the #16 high school team in the country.

NYC is about 128 mi from Uncasville.
Chicago is about 180 mi from Indianapolis.
I think billionaire owners who want to acquire several sports teams in the area is just what the WNBA needs. They don't have to watch every penny like say the last owners of the Sparks. Dolan is a little different because the Liberty don't come from his personal money but are part of a publicly traded company.
The drive from Chicago to Milwaukee (and back) is terrible. The roads are mess and traffic crazy. I doubt many fans from one of the cities would be going to games in the other city.
You're familiar with the area?
Just drove to Milwaukee (and back) from Indiana a few weeks ago. And twice in the past year. So yeah - more familiar than I would like to be.

#BookReview: Only Charlotte by Rosemary Poole-Carter
10:00 AM Crossroad Reviews No comments
Synopsis: Lenore James, a woman of independent means who has outlived three husbands, is determined to disentangle her brother Gilbert from the beguiling Charlotte Eden.
Chafing against misogyny and racism in the post-Civil War South, Lenore learns that Charlotte's husband is enmeshed in the re-enslavement schemes of a powerful judge, and she worries that Gilbert's adoration of Charlotte will lead him into disaster.
Inspired by a production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, Lenore adopts the role of Paulina for herself to discover how far Charlotte's husband bears the blame for his wife's fate and whether or not he is capable of atonement.
In her process of unraveling the intricacies of the lives of others, Lenore finds that Gilbert's love for Charlotte is, indeed, his saving grace while Lenore's passion for creative expression is her own.

About the Author: Rosemary Poole-Carter explores aspects of an uneasy past in her novels Only Charlotte, Women of Magdalene, What Remains, and Juliette Ascending, all set in the post-Civil War South. Her plays include The Familiar, a ghost story, and The Little Death, a Southern gothic drama. Fascinated by history, mystery, and the performing and visual arts, she is a member of the Historical Novel Society, Mystery Writers of America, and the Dramatists Guild of America. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, she was a long-time resident of Houston, where she practiced her devotion to reading and writing with students of the Lone Star College System. She now lives and writes by the Eno River in Durham, North Carolina.
My Review: I am sad to say that there was nothing excising about this one. The cover was sub par and the story itself was a snooze fest. The story opening was nothing that grabbed me and the pacing was very slow. The writing style itself was fine and the characters were all well done. My main issue with this one was the story itself. There was nothing really going for this mystery book and that made me very sad as I was very excited to read it.
Overall, with this one I wished that this one could have been edited for the content story so it could have been more exciting and faster paced.
"Yes, Gilbert is a charmer, and Charlotte is quite intriguing, but the voice of Lenore called out to me from the first page, and I became ever more deeply entranced by her character as the story demonstrates how an intelligent and insightful woman of 19th century New Orleans might deal with the constraints of the culture of that era. Her resourcefulness, her compassion (so like her brother Gilbert's), and her courage are inspirational even in our time." Katherine Parr, actress, singer, and author of No Coin for the Ferryman
"A compelling and beautifully written story to keep you reading half the night . . . Set in 19 th century corrupt, poverty-ridden, yet genteel New Orleans after the Civil War, Only Charlotte has a cadence all its own. Rosemary Poole-Carter is a greatly gifted author who has created an unforgettable mystery where kindness and evil are inexorably entwined." Stephanie Cowell, author of Marrying Mozart and Claude & Camille: a novel of Monet

Anthony Inglis, (1813–1884) was a Scottish journeyman blacksmith, engineer and shipbuilder who set-up and managed the well known shipyard A. & J. Inglis in Pointhouse Glasgow together with his brother John Inglis.

Career

In 1837 he founded a company to provide smithwork especially to shipbuilders, from premises in Anderston. In 1847 his younger brother, John Inglis (1819–1888), joined him, who had learned the craft of marine engineering and whose practicable skills added another dimension to the company. Together they founded the company A. & J. Inglis in 1847.

They moved to larger premises in Warroch Street, Anderston, where they began to focus on marine work. In 1850 they obtained their first major marine contract, to supply the machinery for the tug 'Clyde'. From then onwards the company grew in strength and rapidly earned a reputation for ability and at least equality to much larger and longer established firms. In 1855, the Inglis brothers provided the machinery of the large screw steamer Tasmanian, one of the largest and fastest vessels built up until that date. The success of the 'Tasmanian' caught the attention of William Mac Kinnon who established the British India Steam Navigation Company and the Imperial British East Africa Company. From that moment the name Inglis became synonymous with fine design and engineering. Success followed success and before long the Warroch Street premises had to be extended to cope with the increased scope of work and award of contracts.

In 1862, the Inglis brothers decided to add shipbuilding to their engineering repertoire and for this purpose acquired an area of land in Glasgow at the confluence of the River Kelvin with the River Clyde, on which the Pointhouse Yard had existed since 1845 under ownership of Thomas B. Seath. The site was limited in size but it became an extremely important and credible shipyard run by the Inglis family to exceptionally high standards. From this Yard there came many classic designs and creations of maritime beauty and success, along with the normal workmanlike dredgers, tugs, coasters, barges, tankers and whalers. After the death of Anthony Inglis in 1884 his son John Inglis took over the management of the family firm.

You know it is coming and now, here's a taste of what is to come this Christmas. The first teaser trailer for Star Wars: Episode IX is here and along with it, the movie's name: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. If you don't already know, episode 9 will be the concluding movie of the Skywalker saga started over 40 years ago. Obviously, having spent $4.05 billion in cash and stock to acquire Lucasfilm, Disney is not about to lay to rest this super lucrative revenue generator that also has an enormous fan base – more so when the franchise's financial performance to date has been positive.
In fact, Disney has reportedly earned more than what they have paid for Lucasfilm with three Star Wars movies – The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi. So, what's going to happen is, story revolving Skywalker will come to an end with The Rise of Skywalker (so, Rey is a Skywalker?) and Disney will take a breather before coming with other Star Wars flicks. It is without doubt TV shows will be one of the focal point moving forward. After all, shows like Game of Thrones have proven that TV series is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Anyways, back to the trailer… teaser trailer, that is… it basically presents to you all the key characters of the film, including protagonist Rey who is already rocking Skywalker's Lightsaber, Finn, Poe, BB-08, Kylo, and the good'ol (literally) Lando. Late Carrie Fisher will also be in it, as shown in the trailer, but not as a CG character. Instead, her appearance was cut from The Force Awakens according to another Starwars.com. What intrigued us was the sinister laugh towards the end of the teaser trailer. It sounded like Emperor Palpatine. OK. I am pretty positive it was that crumpled face evil dude.
Keep going to have a look and let us know if you are all pumped about the end of the saga.

A Cerasinops (nevének jelentése 'kisebb szarvarcú') a ceratopsia dinoszauruszok egyik kisméretű neme volt, amely a késő kréta kor campaniai korszaka idején élt. Fosszíliáit a Two Medicine-formációban, Montanában fedezték fel.

A Cerasinops nevét és leírását Brenda Chinnery és Jack Horner alkotta meg 2007-ben, egy majdnem 80%-ban teljes példány (az MOR 300 katalógusszámú lelet) alapján. A Cerasinops a Ceratopsia alrendághoz, a papagájszerű csőrrel rendelkező dinoszauruszok csoportjához tartozik, melynek tagjai Észak-Amerika és Ázsia területén éltek a kréta időszakban. A csoporton belül a bazális Neoceratopsia kládba tartozik, a leírása azonban változó; egy alkalommal a Leptoceratopsidae családhoz kapcsolták, máskor pedig a Leptoceratopsidae testvértaxonjaként vagy általánosságban neoceratopsiaként helyezték el.

A Cerasinops nem típusfaja a C. hodgskissi.

Is there any way that we can import all SDM groups and Users into that group in EEM.
At this point EEM is unable to use the Service Desk contact records as a user repository. If your Service Desk environment is configured to import users from an LDAP environment, you may be able to configure EEM to point to that same LDAP environment, and then you can import the users from there. If the users were created directly in Service Desk, though, then EEM won't recognize them.
If not, please mark Alex's answer as correct so that this thread can be closed.

Satyrs and their counterparts maenads, also known as nymphs or Bacchae, were mythological adherents of the ancient Greek cult of the god Dionysus. The most essential characteristics of the Dionysiac cult were ecstatic music, dance, and the physical possession of its adherents by the god himself through the eating of raw flesh in a sort of communion known as omophagy, as it was thought that the god himself was present in the meat of the sacrificial animal. The devotees of Dionysus were commonly divided into groups, often with male figureheads, who played the role of the god. The Bacchae were mortal women who became possessed by Dionysus and attained more-than-mortal qualities.
Satyrs were, like the maenads, spirits of nature. They were, however, not completely human, but bore animalistic characteristics, often possessing qualities such as the ears and tail of a horse and the beard and horns of a goat. Satyrs were said to produce and drink wine, and possess a love of dance and music. They are incessantly in a state of sexual arousal and are commonly depicted ithyphallic, and, as a pastime, pursue nymphs through the woods in an attempt to satiate their sexual arousal on their female counterparts. Their mythic lineage can be traced back to the works of Hesiod, according to whom they are descended from the five daughters of Hecaterus, who wed an Argive princess, the daughter of King Phoroneus.

U 868 war ein deutsches U-Boot vom IX C/40, das durch die deutsche Kriegsmarine während des U-Boot-Krieges im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Nordatlantik eingesetzt wurde.

Bau und Indienststellung
U 868 wurde als eines von 11 Booten der Klasse IX C bei der Bremer Deschimag-Werft gebaut. Der Bauauftrag beinhaltete die Boote U 865 bis U 876. Ein Boot dieses Typs war 76 m lang und hatte einen Durchmesser von 6,84 m. Es erreichte bei Überwasserfahrt eine Geschwindigkeit von 18,3 kn und fuhr unter Wasser maximal 7,5 kn.

U 868 wurde am 23. Dezember 1943 durch Kapitänleutnant Dietrich Rauch in Dienst gestellt. Wie es bei vielen Boote seiner Zeit üblich war, entschied sich auch die Besatzung von U 868 für ein bootsspezifisches Zeichen. Es war geplant, den Bremer Roland – als Reminiszenz zur "Geburtsstadt" des Bootes – am Turm anzubringen. Dieses Vorhaben konnte jedoch bis zur Kapitulation des Bootes nicht realisiert werden.

Einsatz und Geschichte
Nach der Indienststellung wurde U 868 der 4. U-Flottille  zugeteilt, einer Ausbildungsflottille, die in Stettin stationiert war. Bis zum Sommer 1944 unternahm Kommandant Rauch von hier aus Ausbildungsfahrten in der Ostsee zur Erprobung des Bootes und zum Training der Besatzung. Am 21. Juli übergab er das Kommando an Oberleutnant zur See Eduard Turre. Der 24-jährige Turre hatte vorher als Erster Wachoffizier auf U 530 gedient. Er setzte die Ausbildung der Besatzung in der Ostsee bis Januar 1945 fort, zudem wurde eine Schnorchelanlage eingebaut.

Im Frühjahr unternahm das Boot eine Transportfahrt von Norwegen nach Saint-Nazaire. Im April kehrte es von dort zurück. Auf dieser Unternehmung griff Turre das britische Minensuchboot Guysborough an, das er am 17. März mit einem akustisch gesteuerten Torpedo versenkte.

Bis Kriegsende verblieb U 868 im Marinestützpunkt in Bergen, wo Turre am 9. Mai gegenüber britischen Streitkräften kapitulierte.

Versenkung
U 868 wurde zunächst in den britischen Flottenstützpunkt Scapa Flow verbracht. Von dort aus wurde das Boot im Juni zum Loch Ryan an der schottischen Westküste verbracht, wo viele deutsche U-Boote interniert waren, um im Rahmen der Operation Deadlight versenkt zu werden. Von hier aus sollte U 868 am 30. November 1945 durch den britischen Schlepper HMS Saucy zur Versenkung auf Position geschleppt werden, sank aber, bevor das Zielgebiet erreicht wurde.

Princeton celebrates 25 years of research and teaching at Mpala, Kenya
This year, Princeton University is celebrating its 25th anniversary of research, teaching and collaboration at the Mpala Research Centre in Laikipia County, Kenya, while looking toward deepening engagement for the future.
Mpala, an independent Kenyan nonprofit, comprises 48,000 acres of privately owned conservation lands managed by the University in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museums of Kenya and the Kenya Wildlife Service.
"Mpala is one of the world's leading field-based research centers for the study of ecology, conservation, public health and sustainable development," said Aly Kassam-Remtulla, vice provost for international affairs and operations (acting). "It offers a unique opportunity for Kenyan and international scholars to conduct experiments on a landscape scale. It also has unique resources including the first field-based genomics laboratory in Africa. As we mark our silver anniversary, we see opportunities for greater engagement of Princeton students and scholars, African scientists and conservationists, and many other neighbors and partners in the Laikipia region."

Be Open to Pivoting, Or Be Prepared to Fail
By Joelle Steiniger
Samuel Hulick, creator of User Onboarding grew his audience from zero to over 3,000 people in less than 2 months. But first he spent months talking to crickets.
"I really can't stress enough how frustrating it was to feel like I had good ideas, but nobody that would listen to them…" -Samuel
It wasn't until he figured out that a small pivot would drastically rebrand himself and his product. From there, he's experienced hockey stick growth for his signup list.
After wrapping up an apprenticeship with Rob Walling, helping him bring Drip to market, and years of user experience consulting under his belt, Samuel decided to move forward with his own product release: a book.
Tentatively titled "Customer Growth" it started to shape up as more of a high-minded, philosophical approach to UX within a company. It was about how if you align your business around improving your customers' lives your business will also succeed. Sounds nice, but it's vague, and not particularly actionable.
He realized pretty quickly that he couldn't even really explain what the book was about without taking a couple minutes to do so.
RED FLAG #1: If you can't boil down what your product (or your book) is about in one (hopefully enticing) sentence, you need to seriously think about what problem you're solving.
He also realized that although the topic sounded warm and fuzzy, nobody in the world was like, "We've got a real problem with this esoteric concept".
RED FLAG #2: If people glaze over when you describe the problem, you're probably not solving one of much value.
"It was way too vague and wasn't something that people identified with as a need."
-Samuel Hulick
Nevertheless, he went on blogging, but felt a lot of his excitement draining. Partly because no one was listening. And partly because he was missing the thing he enjoyed most, a UX touch on his content.
RED FLAG #3: If you're losing your excitement or your passion for your idea especially in the early stages, you're setting yourself up for failure. Stop what you're doing right now and figure out why before you waste any more time.
When you start to see red flags pile up, it's time to keep your eyes open for the real opportunity. It's probably staring you in the face.
Because I'll tell you now, there is absolutely a correlation between your enjoyment level with your work and your ultimate success. Enjoyment leads to much higher quality work (whether it be writing a book or building a product). And a kick ass product with passion and momentum behind it will almost always do better than something that's just been forced through.
Derek Sivers put it best when he said,
"We've all heard about the importance of persistence, but I had misunderstood. Success comes from persistently improving and inventing, not persistently doing what's not working."
In other words…if it's not working, STOP FORCING IT.
In the midst of all this, Samuel had been privately consulting with companies, doing detailed teardowns of their user onboarding processes. And he knew two things:
The teardowns were worth every penny, and
He really enjoyed doing them.
So he decided one day to put out a teardown for free. He picked a company pretty much at random, Less Accounting, and threw it up on SlideShare. He didn't even tell Less Accounting he had done it.
By the next morning he had an email in his inbox from the co-founder thanking him for such awesome work and letting him know they'd be implementing most if not all of his suggestions that week. There was real value in what he had produced.
It got shared around a bit and he started to see a few signups roll in. So he did another one for Basecamp, which got shared around like crazy. Then Buffer, Netflix, and more. With each one came more signups and more name recognition. But most valuable of all, he had found his perfect pivot. And he wasn't afraid to make the move.
"As soon as I started representing myself as 'the guy who knows about onboarding' instead of Samuel Hulick…I suddenly had a lot more ears."
Had Samuel been blind to the opportunity staring him in the face, he wouldn't have been able to create this niche brand for himself. He wouldn't have been able to take a vague idea and morph it into something concrete, something actionable. He wouldn't have built the loyal audience he has now, waiting in advance for the release of his book. And perhaps most importantly, he wouldn't be enjoying his work as much as he is now.
Don't be afraid to pivot when all signs point to a better opportunity. It's almost always the best decision you could possibly make for your product.

Heavy duty means different things to different people.
My definition is, "A pump that can operate in a wide operating window without breaking something or experiencing premature seal and bearing failure".
Low shaft diameter to length ratio (less than 60 L3 /D4) less than 2 in the metric system.
Centerline design for thermal expansion.
Adequate bearing retention (no snap rings).
Positive bearing sealing. No grease or lip seals that will cut the pump shaft.
Reliable bearing oil level indication.
Low net positive suction head required (NPSHR).
A double volute to prevent shaft deflection.
Suction specific speed number below 8500 (5200 metric).
Impeller specific speed number selected for the application.

In special reports, this week's files cover: Astronaut Cooper saw UFOs, Mothership Sightings Are Back, ISS Spots UFO, New Russian Aerospace Command, Moon Triangle, Mars Crab, Washington UFO Shot Down, and Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Complex.
Air Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: California, Delaware, Illinois, Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Mexico, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and Vanuatu.
"They started in World War 2, when the government didn't want people to know about UFO reports in case they panicked. They would have been fearful it was superior enemy technology that we had no defense against. Then it got worse in the Cold War for the same reason. So they told one untruth, they had to tell another to cover that one, and then another, then another . . . it just snowballed. And right now I'm convinced a lot of very embarrassed government officials are sitting there in Washington trying to figure a way to bring the truth out. They know it's got to come out one day, and I'm sure it will.
This photo shows a Mothership launching twelve discs over Japan.
My answer is, "Look up, they are here".
Each week for over nineteen years Filer's Files has provided evidence that visitors from other civilizations are visiting our Earth. While I was on active duty in the US Air Force, London Control directed us to investigate and intercept a large UFO, generally referred to as a Mothership. As we intercepted the UFO, I saw it on my radar and visually, just before it flew into space at incredible speed. The radar return indicated a several times bigger than an aircraft carrier and larger than any ever flown by humankind. There are hundreds of similar stories where aircrews, ground and airborne radar operators have observed huge UFOs larger than aircraft carriers. Huge cylinders were photographed over Kansas, Pennsylvania, New York, and France recently.
NASA satellite camera captures one of these large Motherships near Greenland, over the Atlantic Ocean. A series of clouds are on the left of the object that appears to be almost a mile long.
It is time for scientists to start looking at the incredible evidence collected daily around the world. NASA Space Shuttle videos are a good place to start. In my opinion, we are not alone.
FOSTORIA, Ohio – On April 15, 2010, at 6 PM, George Ritter captured this cylinder shaped Mothership heading south using infrared filters on his video camera. The craft was on only one frame of the video indicating the Mothership was moving at thousands of miles per hour. The camera shoots thirty frames per second.
ALDERNEY — Joel de Woolfson of The Guernsey Press and Star reports, "Two experienced airline pilots on separate flights saw something up to a mile wide off the coast of Alderney above the English Channel on April 23, 2007.
Jersey radar equipment did pick up the object, and an air traffic controller said he had received simultaneous reports from the Aurigny and Blue Islands Airline pilots.
There seems to be a pattern of massive objects reported that are apparently operated by intelligent extraterrestrial (ET) beings. We can assume they are intelligent based on their craft and operations. These huge craft called Motherships are much bigger than any flying machine ever built by man. Frequently they launch smaller generally disc shaped craft estimated to be thirty feet in diameter.
Abductees report the aliens have very highly developed mental powers, including extra-sensory, thought reading, hypnosis and the ability to use different dimensions. They do not normally use weapons and rely solely on their special powers to take care of themselves. They make contact only with selected people where secrecy can be maintained. In loosely knit societies such as Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, it is very easy with the help of friends to make contact, but more difficult in police and dictator states. Abductees report, aliens take them inside small UFOs and sometimes fly to a huge Mothership in space.
On August 3, 2015, the International Space Station (ISS) camera in Earth's orbit casually pans around to the right, glancing at the UFO and then continues on its way as if nothing happened. They are in deep space with only a view of the stars and Earth to look at. How could they see this? They did, they just didn't want the public to see it.
During a period when the camera is moving for two minutes, Nasa captures a distant pink and gold object that was caught on August 3rd, 2015.
heard them chatting on the station to a person named Scott. So he started watching and noticed this UFO. The object has three main glowing lights and looks a lot like a TR3B. He caught it on video.
Russia has created a new branch of its armed forces by merging the nation's air force, air defense, anti-missile and space forces into the Aerospace Forces. Following Vladimir Putin's presidential decree, the newly created force commenced combat duty on August 1, 2015.
The newly created branch has merged the country's air force, air defense, and anti-missile and space forces under one command, according to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
"The creation of the Aerospace Forces by merging the air force and aerospace defense force is the optimal way of improving the system of the nation's aerospace defense," Shoigu said at a teleconference on Monday.
He added that the creation of the new branch was prompted by a shift in the center of gravity of modern warfare activity into aerospace.
The minister also stressed that merging several branches would allow Russia's armed services, first and foremost, to concentrate all the responsibility for the shaping of the military and technical policy on development of the aerospace forces in one hands. Second, it would increase the efficiency of its implementation, and third, it would ensure the incremental development of the country's aerospace defense system.
The current Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force, Viktor Bondarev, has been put in charge of the new branch.
The Aerospace Force is responsible for centralized control over the combat air forces, air defense forces, and anti-missile defense network as well as the launch and control of the spacecraft of Russia's orbit group and control over aerospace.
Whidbey Island — Ex Air Force Pilot and Special Operations Instructor sees a UFO blown out of sky by beam of light over Whidbey Island Naval Air Station on the evening of August 2nd, 2015 at 23:40 hours PDT.
I observed across Lake Crocker a very bright light with occasional flashing white/yellow light moving rapidly soundlessly across SE to NE. at approximately 50,000 feet. It moved in sudden increase (almost jerks). From my location looking SE we often see aircraft from/to Seattle Tacoma Airport. This was not normal aircraft behavior and unlike any satellite I have ever observed. It passed from sight and within one minute.
In the NNE sky at a lower altitude occurred a brief streak of white light N to NE. Within an instant occurred a massive, but silent explosion. This was an enormous and lengthy increasing yellow/orange width and height and flames had momentum from N to NE opposing the travel of the earlier sighting. I am a pilot of many years, ex US Air Force Survival Instructor and I have (SEA) experience SAM (Surface to Air Missiles) contacts. To my mind this was a SAM (type) attack against what earlier was an UFO.
solely by the Navy with the EA-18G Growler aircraft. Electronic attack against UFOs may also be carried out based on the pilots' testimony.
The mission of the Navy's electronic attack aircraft is to suppress enemy air defenses and communications systems. Additionally, Navy electronic attack aircraft disrupt enemy land mines and improvised explosive devices in order to protect the lives of U.S. service members.
Currently, nine carrier squadrons (Carrier Air Wing), four expeditionary squadrons (three active squadrons and one reserve squadron), and one training squadron (Fleet Replacement Squadron) are at NAS Whidbey Island, for a total of 82 operational aircraft. The carrier squadrons deploy on aircraft carriers and conduct periodic FCLP training to qualify to land on aircraft carriers. Provide initial qualification training, including FCLP for all EA- EA-18G Growler aviators, and The transition of VAQ squadrons from the legacy EA-6B to the new EA-18G began in 2008 and will be completed by 2016. The Navy released this video showing its new laser weapons system during an exercise at sea. The laser is capable of destroying planes, drones and boats.
Millsboro — On August 1, 2015 at 10:29 PM, my boyfriend and I were outside his house taking videos of the lightning in an approaching northwest storm.
Port St Lucie – I was outside in my driveway on July 29, 2015, and noticed some nice cloud formations and thought that they would make good screen savers for my computer. I got my camera and took pictures of a cloud and checked it out on my digital camera.
Edinburgh – I grew up in Springfield Illinois. My dad always told me about when us kids were little about all the things him and the neighbors would see in the sky. When I was 17 we lived across from the Sears store on South Grand Ave in Springfield we lived on South First at the end of their parking lot. One night I was looking out my bedroom window I seen a huge round object with different colored lights hovering above Sears, I watched it until it disappeared. Ever since I was fascinated by what was in our sky. Some will criticize but I told them someday they will see them like this recent one. Thanks to Pamela.
Lenexa — Taking pictures of clouds and lightning I took five random pictures on August 5, 2015, and noticed something in frame three. When I blew it up there appeared to be a solid silent image, but it had no wings and a clear halo. The clouds around it appear to have a wake surrounding it.
Kalamazoo — I was taking my nightly exercise walk on August 8, 2015, when all of the sudden I saw two doing figure 8 movements and kept hovering in and out of sight.
New York City – I was walking north on 10th Avenue taking pictures on August 8, 2015, but I didn't notice that I had photographed anything until I downloaded my images several hours later.
At first I thought it might be a helicopter but it wasn't dark enough for the whole body of an aircraft to be obscured. Whatever it is, looks segmented with gaps between the lights.
New York City – On May 10th, around 3:10 pm, I was outside Century 21 with my Nikon d7000-18-200mm lens doing architectural shots. I took several shots pointing west toward buildings. I did not see the white cylinder in the photo taken at 250th of a second. On the subway home reviewing shots, I was amazed to see a white cylindrical shaped object.
I was driving home from work on Highway 169 north on August 5, 2015 and noticed it slowly descending in the western sky during sunset. It was falling slowly enough to catch my attention. I pulled out my phone and took a photo and video.
Draper — I looked out the window on August 6, 2015, and saw a bright light about a mile away over a mountain across from our house. It was very bright but not distinguishable. So I got my phone and zoomed and noticed it was flashing lights and moving.
Glacier — These photos were all taken on July 31, 2015, about 10 PM at night. All the photos are of the same UFO. This one shows a 3rd inner circle more clearly especially at the top.
A red unidentified flying object behind storm clouds and lightning on August 9, 2015.
I was told it looked like a reflection from a light fixture but there is no reflection of a person or camera in a window. We are still investigating on it.
Townsville — Greetings from "The Great Southland" My name is Roy Fox and back on March 31, 1973, my wife Dianne and I had a very up close and personal experience with a large orange/red UFO which appeared over us and closely interacted with us for a considerable but undetermined length of time. The start of the experience was at about 9.15 pm and there appear to be at least three clear fully conscious experiences of very close contact and communication and interaction with this object. The experience ended when we found ourselves back at our apartment at about 00.15 with no clear recollection of the one mile drive home.
We were very aware of the three clear experiences but had no idea whatsoever about what occurred during the three hours it apparently took us to drive the one mile home. We were considerably shocked and yet excited by the experience and we decided to inform the relevant authorities, it then occurred to me that this may not be a good idea as by now it was about an hour into April Fool's Day. We decided not to go public with the experience but we would wait to see if others came forward with a sighing then we could come forward with our experience, nobody ever came forward with a sighting.
Being camera ready I snapped pictures and a video to the west at a long distance of this bright white object. I continued to observe and take pictures until it went east over my roof.
Radium — British Columbia — I was vacationing with a friend and we drove 20 minutes up an isolated mountain road where she knew of a natural hot spring. I took a few pictures of the area once we arrived on April 22, 2006. We felt alerted to a heavy presence watching us after being there for five minutes. We both changed into our swim suits as there was a running river near the natural hot spring area which was beautiful.
Limache — This unusual sighting took place a few days ago of a UFO flying over the town of Limache located in the province of Marga Marga. The event took place on the afternoon of August 4, 2015, when a surveillance camera registers the presence of a mysterious object that by turning on itself, flies slowly and low over the houses and farms.
You can also see a cow running along the fence, freighted by the UFO above it. Great catch, and 8 amazing minutes of raw footage.
Tatachia Tatachia — Although this UFO was found by a Taiwanese person back on November 9, 2013. I have known about it and finally found the coordinates to it today, so just copy and paste them into the Google search box, then go into street view. I live in Taiwan and try to cover all sightings in the area. Most UFOs I report on Google Earth have been deleted by Google.
Decoy Park, Newton Abbot Devon — The photo was taken August 4, 2015, at 1:43 PM GMT at Decoy Park. Take a look at this incredible photo. This is no ghost. This is a Pleiadian being dematerialized from a portal. The uniform is a dead giveaway.
Response of Witness to Investigator Questions: I was walking around Decoy Park and I felt something touch the back of my head so I quickly turned around. To my surprise there was a large man standing by a tree smiling at me. The man had blonde hair and blue eyes and was very handsome. He looked Scandinavian and was wearing black boots blue trousers with a purple top. The top had white lines on the shoulders and white lines going around the sleeves. He looked very muscular and he wore tight fitting clothes. I quickly raise my camera to take a photograph as the Man started to dematerialize legs first, top half next, and then vanished. There was no sound and only a small gold color flash of light. This was an incredible sight to have witnessed. I only managed to get one photograph because this happened so fast and I was in shock. The reason why I thought he was a Pleiadian was that he fits the description given by many contactees and I have also seen photograph of this being before.
Durazno — I was taking a photo of a helicopter when I saw this object in the photo on July 15, 2015. I noticed an object that approaches and I saw something that it seems to me was something like an Ovni (UFO).
The object was black and went in a straight line. When we saw this object we could not decipher what it was nor could we see it when it went away.

Parks and Recreation's Jim O'Heir Has Seemingly Been Cast for The Mandalorian Season 3
By Matt Heywood March 3, 2022
Thanks to a recent episode of the Parks and Recollection podcast, which is hosted by Rob Lowe and Alan Yang, it sounds like a former alum from Parks and Recreation will be playing a role in the upcoming season of The Mandalorian.
Jim O'Heir was on that podcast lately, and while they were mostly discussing his time on the show, he was asked about any active projects he is currently working on. He essentially replied with a statement that makes his new gig sound very secretive, but Rob Lowe more or less let the cat out of the bag after O'Heir tried to play things close to his vest.
The exchange went like so:
Jim O'Heir: Oh shoot. I don't know if I'm allowed to say where I am. I can say a State. I'm in a state, New Mexico, I don't know.
Rob Lowe: I will say, Jim, I know what you're working on, and it rhymes with the latest installment of Bar Wars.
Unless Lowe is just messing with his former co-star it sounds like O'Heir is indeed working on a Star Wars project, and considering the only one that is known to be actively shooting right now is The Mandalorian, it is more than likely the Star Wars project Lowe referred to.
While Mando usually shoots in L.A. on an outdoor set or via the Volume versus actual locations, Bespin Bulletin is speculating that the New Mexico shoot may be tied to some desert shoot that has been happening on the L.A. train yard set in which a ship and campsite have been staged.
Having someone like O'Heir appear in the Mando-verse makes sense, especially in a cameo like role. Think about Stephen Root's part in The Book of Boba Fett. O'Heir could have been tapped for something similar, or maybe it is for a beefier role. Either way it sounds like Gerry, Jerry, Larry, Terry will eventually pop up in a Star Wars property.
