Medical doctor connects faith and health care through theology degree
by Dana Beitey, Jul 10, 2019
Newman University has always been known for its Catholic heritage, offering a faith-based liberal arts education with the purpose of empowering graduates to transform society.
Its newly formed School of Catholic Studies houses degrees in theology, ministry and philosophy, to name a few.
2016 graduate Donna Ewy, M.D., earned a Master in Theological Studies from Newman and said it was one of many learning opportunities she has pursued in her life.
Ewy, a physician with Ascension Medical Group in Wichita, Kansas, had been praying about ways to enrich her knowledge when she drove by the Newman University campus and saw an advertisement on the university's digital billboard.
"My brain needed something different but I didn't know what it was," explained Ewy. "I had been exploring my options, what I could do to fill that need for learning. I was driving down Kellogg saying a little prayer when I saw the billboard; 'Get your degree in theology' it said. I went home, checked the website and signed up that day."
A love for learning
Ewy said learning is what she loves to do and she holds a total of six degrees; two Bachelor of Education degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, a Doctor of Medicine and master's degrees in both theological studies and bioethics.
Early in life, Ewy had entered into a religious community and began the stages of formation while teaching. When it became clear to her that professing final vows were not in her future, she began praying, asking God what her path should be. That is when she said she felt a new calling.
"I lived in a vow of community and had no assets, no encumbrances, I didn't have anything holding me back," said Ewy. "I gave myself about a month, I did a lot of praying. In that period, the thought of medicine came to me."
After learning her prerequisites were already covered, Ewy said she took the Medical College Admission Test and dove in. She was accepted into three different medical schools but ultimately chose the University of Kansas School of Medicine, where she earned her Doctor of Medicine.
Ewy is still using that degree, specializing in geriatrics, long-term care and hospice care.
She said her love for medicine still holds strong but she was ready to start learning again when she found Newman. Her choice of a theology master's degree was a good fit for her career, she said, and added she already had a background in theology.
Connecting faith and caring
The correlation between the type of health care she provides and the study of theology, she said, is strong.
"Health care is one of those careers that can very well lend itself to being a ministry as opposed to a job. The theology enhances that and makes it grow. I work in long term care and hospice. A lot of my patients are in heaven's waiting room. That's a stage of life that deserves a lot of sacred attention. We need to honor that life in a particular way."
Ewy talked about the ritual of washing, talked about in the Old Testament, is a connection she made immediately.
"In the ancient tradition and early Christian community, there was a lot of ritual hand washing. Biblically, you wash your hands before a sacred encounter, before you enter the temple.
In health care, the washing of hands is to avoid the spreading of germs — but it can also be an awareness of entering a sacred moment with a patient."
Ewy said the theology, especially the social justice piece, emphasizes doing her job as Jesus did. She talked about His healing ministry being everyone — poor, rich, anyone who needed to be healed — but in particular, reaching out to the most vulnerable.
She added that the purpose of her team is to take care of anyone who needs to be taken care of and among them, people who come from very difficult situations.
"We take care of them all, no matter who they are and what their life has been like. I've always taken care of people, but now it's the passion, the mission. We treat them all with respect and dignity. My theology degree enhances that piece of what I do in a very nice way."
The Newman experience
The theology master's degree offered at Newman University was mostly online, which Ewy said was one of the reasons she loved it. Her cohort met on campus occasionally but really connected through online learning.
"The online nature was beautifully done," Ewy explained. "We got to know each other so well. Online — including the introverts — we all contribute equally and even online, you get to know everyone pretty well."
Returning to collegiate studies while working full-time didn't come without some bumps, she said but added that it was a fun and positive experience.
Not having written a paper in 30 years was a bit of a struggle but it was exactly the type of stimulation her brain needed. She also said the curriculum prepared her path for her next master's degree, one in bioethics.
She added appreciation for her professors, Father Joseph Gile, Joshua Papsdorf, Ph.D. and Matthew Umbarger, Ph.D., saying they completed the overall great experience she had at Newman.
"Gile, Papsdorf and Umbarger are a fantastic trio of teachers. They're different from each other and they each have their gifts. The combination of the three made for a vibrant program."

Home News Campus Fire Near Hahn Ruled as Arson
Fire Near Hahn Ruled as Arson
Jayden Norris
A fire that was ignited in a ravine below Hahn Student Services was the most recent in a series of fires on or near campus. The fire took place on Oct. 9 and was responded to at 2:40 p.m. UC Santa Cruz police Chief Nader Oweis said a Cal Fire investigator found that the fire was caused by arson.
Since the investigation is ongoing, the reason that the cause of this fire was ruled to be arson has not been released.
"Cal Fire investigated the area with the UCSC Police Department and they could not find any ignition sources in the area," said Santa Cruz Fire Department Battalion Chief Mike Venezio.
UCSC PD released a physical description of a person of interest leaving the area of the fire, who was seen by university employees. This description and sketch of the individual were sent to the community in an email on Oct. 15.
According to the community crime bulletin email, UCSC PD is seeking the public's assistance in identifying the person in the sketch in order to determine what involvement, if any, they had in the arson.
"We don't know if this person of interest was truly involved or not, but they were in the area," Oweis said.
This fire follows an Oct. 6 fire near College Eight and an Aug. 26 fire in a field near the west entrance of campus. It has not been determined whether either of the previous fires were set intentionally.
There is currently no evidence that the recent string of fires are linked.
"Right now we are investigating them as independent, but we would be remiss if we didn't think of them as possibly linked in some way," Oweis said.
Santa Cruz Fire Department battalion chief Mike Venezio said there are a variety of reasons people are motivated to commit arson.
"Some people do it for money, for insurance," Venezio said. "In the wildland area some people do it for revenge. Some people do it because they enjoy watching fire."
Students who see any fires or smoke should call 911 and report them immediately.

Richwood, Union brace for smashmouth battle
Brett Hudson
bhudson@thenewsstar.com
There is no hiding the inevitable from Robert Arvie. Richwood's football coach knows his power-based football team is about to collide with one that prides itself on similar ideals.
"Something's going to have to give."
Therein lies the theme of the District 2-3A opener between Union Parish (1-4) and Richwood (3-2) on Friday.
"It's going to be a smashmouth, power offense style of game. Our goal is to stop the run with their front seven," Arvie said.
BLOG: Power points update, through Week 5
Union's physical brand of football has been packaged slightly differently at times this season, featuring a lot more shotgun to take advantage of the current crop of perimeter athletes, but the core principles remain the same.
"We do some other things because of the skill players we have and the offensive line have," said Union coach Joe Spatafora, "but we're still going to run the football."
That showcased itself last week when Union quarterback Nijeel Meeking ran 230 yards and two touchdowns in the road win over Calvary Baptist. It was Union's first win after an 0-4 start to the season against a brutally difficult non-district schedule of Airline, Haynesville, De La Salle and Many, but Spatafora said the team's demeanor did not change after the losses and has not changed since the win.
"They practiced with just as much pride and enthusiasm over the last five weeks after a loss then they do after a win," Spatafora said. "They've been positive: of course a win is going to give you a little more energy and a little more pep in your step, no doubt about it, but they've been good all season about coming to practice, coming to work and giving all they have."
Richwood is coming off of their own thrilling result, a 21-20 loss to Bastrop. Bastrop scored twice in the final minutes to win, but Arvie has seen the team come into the week motivated to begin district play.
Richwood off to long-awaited 3-1 start
"The positive for us is that we were able to get two turnovers and score on those turnovers," Arvie said. "We didn't do anything different in the last three or four minutes of the ball game, they just made a couple of big time plays. You just have to shake their hand.
"They understand we played a solid game. I told them sometimes you play a great game and you still lose. We'll take that as long as we continue our goal of getting better each week going into district play, and we've done that."

A super structure of 29 storey's and 90m high in Central London, to date the tallest demolition project carried out in the UK by Keltbray Demolition.
This project was extremely challenging as we were unable to build the scaffolding from the ground due to it being pedestrianised, therefore it was built off a series of beams on the 2nd floor, able to withstand the weight of the whole structure.
The scaffold was erected by only 8 operatives in 12 weeks, with a team left on site to progressively dismantle the structure. The height and shape of the building brought it's own problems, we worked closely with the scaffold designers to ensure the scaffold was built exactly as per design due to the scaffold being cantilevered at ground level there was no room for error.
This is by far the largest scaffold we have built and the one we are most proud of, well done team!

Q: Starting jackd at startup I am running a headless raspberry pi system, that will eventually be a generative music player. I am now trying to get jackd to run at startup but not entirely sure how.
I can run the command
jackd -R -dalsa

And jack runs fine. However this stops me from being able to run any more commands in the console, with the last few lines being
ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 32bit integer little-endian
ALSA: use 2 periods for capture
ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 32bit integer little-endian
ALSA: use 2 periods for playback

I have put the jackd in an init.d script also, however the same problem appears. What I would like is a way for jackd to start up in a seperate process, or a way for it to hand "control" back to other startup scripts or the user.
M problem is different that the commented one in that I would like to start a daemon (I did not know this before, but now it seems like the sensible option)

A: Depending upon distro and version, you can do the following (from old school to latest technique):
OLD SCHOOL:
vi /etc/rc.local
cd /path/where/jackd/
jackd -R dalsa &>/dev/null &

NEWER WAY:
vi /etc/init.d/jack

(paste this in then modify paths etc):
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for Jack Daemon
#
# chkconfig: 2345 08 92
# description: Sample jackd init.d script.
# processname: jackd
# pidfile: /var/run/jackd/jackd.pid
# config: /etc/jackd.conf

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

[ -x /usr/sbin/jackd ] || exit 0

# Local jackd config
# test -f /etc/sysconfig/jackd && . /etc/sysconfig/jackd

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting Jack Daemon: "
        daemon jackd
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/jackd
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping Jack Daemon: "
        killproc jackd
        rm -f /var/run/jackd/jackd.pid
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
### heres the fix... we gotta remove the stale files on restart
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/jackd
        ;;
  status)
        status jackd
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  restart|reload)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  condrestart)
        [ -e /var/lock/subsys/jackd ] && $0 restart
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: jackd {start|stop|status|restart|reload|condrestart}"
        exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL

Now, save the above and do this:
chkconfig --help

(should return usage info)
chkconfig --add jackd
chkconfig --level 2345 jackd on

now you are ready to start it:
Old school:
/etc/init.d/jackd start

Newer way:
service jackd start

A: I found a preexisiting script within init.d that was starting the log daemon and adapted it for starting jackd.
#!/bin/sh
    #
    # Start jackd
    #

    [ -x /usr/bin/jackd ] || exit 0

    start() {
        printf "Starting JACKD: "
        start-stop-daemon -b -S -m -p /var/run/jackd.pid --exec usr/bin/jackd -- -R -dalsa
        echo "JACK OK"
    }

    stop() {
        printf "Stopping JACKD: "
        start-stop-daemon -K -q -p /var/run/jackd.pid
        echo "JACK STOPPED OK"
    }

    case "$1" in
      start)
        start
        ;;
      stop)
        stop
        ;;
      restart|reload)
        stop
        start
        ;;
      *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
    esac

    sleep 1

    exit $?

Kootenay unemployment rate higher than provincial figures
The Kootenay region's unemployment is growing while the rest of the province is dropping according to Stats Canada
Timothy Schafer
The Kootenay region's unemployment is growing while the rest of the province is dropping, according to recent figures released by Statistics Canada for August.
The jobless rate for the Kootenays has risen to 7.8 per cent in the last month, up one percentage point from its 6.8 per cent mark in July.
According to Stats Can there are 6,200 people out of work in the Kootenays.
However, on the other side of the coin, the province itself gained almost 15,000 jobs in August, dropping the jobless rate to 6.7 per cent—markedly down from the 9.5 per cent position the province held one year ago— as result of higher part-time employment.
The August rate was also down from the July rate of seven per cent.
B.C. ranks first in job growth since August 2011 compared to other provinces, followed by Alberta, Quebec and Ontario. July saw an increase of 51,700 jobs compared with August 2011.
In August there were a further 14,900 jobs created and part-time employment increased by 18,600, despite a decline of 3,700 in full-time positions.
Overall, B.C.'s labour force increased by 8,200 people in August and now stands at 2,488,300. Compared with one year ago, B.C.'s labour force has increased by 34,600 people.
But the province still has some work to do to get people some work to do. B.C. has the highest jobless rate in Western Canada. The national unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7.3 per cent.
Vancouver's unemployment figure was unchanged at 6.8 per cent, Victoria's jumped to 5.9 per cent from 5.6, and Kelowna's figure tumbled to 4.1 per cent from 6.1 in July.

NTL users wrathful over email woe
After a week of disruption, NTL customers are venting their fury over the company's service, and the amount of information they're being supplied with
By Graeme Wearden | June 12, 2003 -- 16:04 GMT (09:04 PDT) | Topic: Tech Industry
The technical problems that have plagued NTL's email service for at least the last week has left many of the company's users furious, and unable to contact friends and business colleagues via the Internet.
Since reporting about the issue on Wednesday, ZDNet UK has received a flood of correspondence from NTL customers lambasting the company -- both over the quality of its service and the level of information they have been given about the problems.
NTL reiterated on Thursday that the problem is an "intermittent" one, and that a fix is being implemented. The company is also keen to stress that there should not be problems with sending emails -- something that some users have disputed -- and that no emails will be lost.
According to those affected, though, the situation is considerably worse than NTL says.
One disgruntled reader spoke for many when he wrote that the service had been "sporadic over the last few days with mail often taking several days to arrive, but by Wednesday it had stopped altogether."
"Today (Thursday), nothing is getting through. As I work from home it's a big problem for me," he added.
NTL has told one user that the problem was confined to the Brighton area, but ZDNet UK has received reports from thwarted users as far afield as Cambridge, Nottingham, Norwich, Essex, Leicester, Surrey and London.
There also seems to be confusion about when the problem will be fixed. One customer was promised on Wednesday afternoon that a solution would have been implemented within a couple of hours, but another was told on Thursday that no details could be given about when things would be fixed.
In the meantime, users who have paid their money to the cable firm find they have no choice but to rely on alternative email accounts. For many, the inconvenience is considerable.
"As a consultant dependent on good communications, this is becoming expensive and extremely boring," said Gavin Greenwood, an NTL customer. "There's a banner on ntl.com boasting 'NTL emerges from Chapter 11' but nothing to suggest when its subscribers can expect the service they are paying for, which recently increased in price, to be restored."
Several readers have said NTL's email service has been performing badly for several months, not simply over the last week.
According to one customer, the service has been "intermittently unusable since February," adding that "their email servers are so overloaded that Outlook frequently gives 'could not connect to server' errors." He has now moved to an ADSL supplier.
Others may soon follow, if the feelings of Simon Anthony are representative. "NTL have over-sold their service and simply do not have the capacity at the popular end to cope with the demand. This is the same thing that happened with their dial-up service -- which forced me to "broad-ish band" in the first place," he told ZDNet UK. "Now not only the 150Kbps but also the 600Kbps links are oversubscribed. Either NTL must get their service running properly or I will go ADSL," he added.
Not every customer is so unhappy, though. Three readers emailed in to say that they had no problems with the NTL service.
NTL is understood to be planning to contact users by email to keep them updated about the problems -- which may be scant consolation for those who find they are unable to access the company's email service.
What other NTL users say about the company's email service:
"I have experienced problems since Friday. The service is erratic and is only just improving."
"The email service in general is poor, not just since Friday. Both myself and my wife have regular problems accessing the POP3 server, with Outlook Express timing out. Again, we get very little feedback from NTL about the problems. I pay £24.99 for the 512K broadband service and in general it's reliable, but things like access to email and news servers are very hit and miss especially during peak hours."
"I suspect NTL is practicing a policy of an 'acceptable level of complaints' from its customers. I wish I had a choice of cable providers, but NTL have bought most of the competition (which nearly bankrupted it). There is no competition in my area in Leicester."
"I'm with NTL myself and have encountered no problems at all, the service is superb. I can also access my Web mail with no problems. The problem seems to be in certain areas."
Are you an NTL user whose email account has been affected by these problems, or is the service working fine for you? Let us know (email permitting, of course)

There was no blood on the carpet of the ageing Brunton Park boardroom on Saturday night. When the end came for Greg Abbott, it was concluded with a handshake and the offer of a glowing reference from men who gave the impression that they were very reluctant executioners.
As managing director John Nixon admitted yesterday, "streetfighter" Abbott would have kept on swinging if the decision hadn't been made to part company "mutually" after a 1-0 defeat to Port Vale on Saturday.
The fifth longest-serving manager in the Football League had boxed his way out of tighter corners than the one his team were forced into by their terrible start to the season but crowds were diminishing, the atmosphere had turned toxic and at the end of the day the long-term health of the business started to look in jeopardy.
Even so, it was not an easy decision. Chairman Andrew Jenkins rated Abbott as in the "top half a dozen" managers the club had ever had and when the bile is drawn out of the debate, perhaps Carlisle supporters might come to agree.
Two Wembley visits, stabilisation in League One and the sniff of a play-off chase in 2011/12 were all in his favour. The budget was tight and the difficulty of persuading players to come to one of English football's outposts made it difficult to sustain any momentum he had built up.
He could have walked away too: an informal offer from Bradford City was tabled before Phil Parkinson took over at the Bantams. Newcastle United might have offered him a job too, and there will be no shortage of interest when he dusts himself off in the coming days. He is an impressive and popular figure.
But not the right man for Carlisle any more, as evidenced from the dwindling crowds. "A lot of people did want change, you have to acknowledge that," said Nixon. "Sometimes change brings success, sometimes it doesn't.
"A lot of people have indicated that if the manager wasn't here they'd come back to Carlisle and I hope that is true.
The problems at Carlisle United throw up bigger questions – issues about the direction of the lower echelons of England's football pyramid.
For in so many ways the Cumbrians are a model club. They are run by fans who appreciate the importance of sticking to a budget and live and work in the local community. They have faith in their managers and the board are all "honourable" men.
So honourable, in fact, that they refused to countenance reneging on a verbal and written offer of a contract extension this summer despite the very real possibility of having to pull the trigger on Abbott in a few weeks. That decision – justified rigorously by Nixon on Monday afternoon – means they will have to honour Abbott's contract in full.
When Premier League football fans unfurl their 'Against Modern Football' banners, perhaps they dream of a club run along the same lines of Carlisle: on the basis of honour, love and a sense of responsibility.
Yet Carlisle's supporters are boycotting too: fed up of what they see as a lack of ambition. Many were staying away until Abbott got sacked and attendances dipped to such an extent that Nixon admits he had serious concerns about the bottom line of the business.
Could it be that English football is no longer a place for sober men of substance who run the business with a duty of care? Is it now an environment where even League One fans are waiting for an Emirati Prince to come and inject cash that can short-wire success?
There is an interesting debate to be had here, not least when you consider that under the new salary cap control regulations every League One club has to limit their wage spend to 60% of their income. Fine for Wolves, who can expect 20,000 crowds if they build a head of steam, but not quite so for Carlisle and their 4,300 average gate.
These were the "parameters" that Abbott had to work within. Whoever the next manager is, he will have to do exactly the same. There is no Roman Abramovich waiting in the wings to take over.
Yet Nixon insists there is ambition. "The ambition has always been the same: the first ambition is to move up to the next level and that's the Championship.
"We want to do that and we have never changed on that – that is our aim. We still want to do that. Alongside that we need to prepare the club to have the facilities to go to that level and that means an all-seater stadium, better facilities to get families in.
In the short-term, Carlisle just need to stay up. Graham Kavanagh, David Irons and Tony Caig have first-team responsibilities ahead of a hoped-for appointment before the Stevenage game a week on Saturday.
"The maximum number of points we can get is 122," Nixon said. "When you've got two and you could get another 122 you have got to believe that we're within touching distance of pulling ourselves out of this second-bottom position.
"If they don't believe that and the new manager doesn't believe that then we've appointed the wrong guy and we've got the wrong dressing room. I don't believe either of those things to be the case.


Is anyone else getting gmail sent to them from themselves?
I've heard of a few others getting this also. I know it's spam, but unique spam.
I haven't seen it on my gmail account but I have on my Excite account and my Bluebottle account. I was also receiving it at my last job.
We suspected at work that it was phishing at a minimum, possibly even "spear phishing". The ones that I have received generally carry a re-directed link.
Watch out for any hidden links that can be activated by a rollover.
They're very easy to miss.


Clear evidence is emerging in our portfolio of employer clients that cost and employee satisfaction gains are being achieved by employers that have chosen to implement this claims process.
The adoption of open referral by most insurers demonstrates growing employer demand and employee comfort with this approach. We recognise there will always be employers that place more importance on having a choice of consultants and treatment, so we support open referral as a design option rather than compulsion for employers.
When communicated clearly, we have seen little, if any, negative reaction from employees to the removal of consultant choice, because the NHS already operates this system at the highest level.
It is not yet clear whether quality of care or cost is the overriding factor in deciding which consultants an insurer will offer a claimant. While there remains a lack of information on this point, there will be concerns that cost is dominant.
However, a positive aspect is the increasingly detailed information gathered at the point of claim by some insurers, which enables claimants to be directed to a suitably specialised consultant. This can shorten diagnosis and speed up treatment, with the employer gains of reduced absence and enhanced quality of care.
Employers provide private medical insurance (PMI) for various reasons: to protect their employees and their business, and as a benefit from which staff engagement arises. Open referral is a welcome development which is seen to strengthen all of these factors.
Colin Boxall: Is open-referral private PMI right for employers?

Eni, Cote d'Ivoire talk Baleine development
Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi has held talks with Cote d'Ivoire President Alassane Ouattara on plans to fast track the development of the Baleine 1-X discovery.
By Ed Reed
Eni's Descalzi in talks with President Ouattara
Eni reported Ouattara's support for investments and bringing the discovery to market.
The two held discussions on October 1. Also attending were secretary general of the presidency Abdourahmane Cissé, the Minister of Economy and Finances Adama Coulibaly, and the Minister of Mines, Petroleum and Energy Thomas Camara.
Ouattara and Descalzi discussed plans for a net zero development. This would combine oil and gas plans with renewables and decarbonisation work, such as forestry programmes. This might include United Nations' REDD programme.
The two also touched on local content issues. Eni Corporate University (ECU) and the local Ecole Supérieure du Pétrole et de l'Energie (ESPE) would work together to develop skills and human capital, the statement said.
It has been 20 years since the last commercial discovery off Cote d'Ivoire. The Baleine find opens a new exploration concept in a mature basin, Eni noted.
The find could hold more than 2 billion barrels of oil in place and around 2.4 trillion cubic feet of associated gas. The gas would be developed to drive local power generation.
Descalzi went on to meet Benin President Patrice Talon on October 4. The two talked about opportunities in bio-refining
Eni recently signed a three-year agreement with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). This had a particular focus on biofuels in Africa.

Of course, Kauai has multiple great options for your dream beach vacation. If you leave the island without getting your toes in the sand and admiring the ocean (as well as the iconic Na Pali Coast), you did something wrong. But, Kauai also has some beautiful rivers that should not be overlooked. These offer fun water activities and a great way to get a closer look at the island's lush flora and fauna.
While some rivers do offer boat tours, paddling down them on your own is much more memorable! Luckily, paddleboarding and kayaking are easy to learn for the whole family – something to keep in mind if you start getting discouraged with surf lessons at the beach!
Located on the north side of the island, this river is a great place to get used to kayaking or paddleboarding. You can enjoy the gorgeous scenery and lush plant life while getting somewhat of an arm workout battling the current going upstream, then glide back down after a short visit at the wildlife refuge. And if you still have some energy, going into Hanalei Bay is also a must, with amazing views. You may even see sea turtles!
Plan for about three hours if only paddling the river. Double that if you want to go explore the bay and beach.
This scenic river is located on the east side of the island, north of Lydgate State Park. It is one of the most popular because you have the option of stopping at a small island and continuing on foot to 'Secret Falls' (otherwise known as Uluwehi Waterfalls) – a short, but worthwhile hike! Fern Grotto and the swimming hole are other popular stops. Just watch for boats and make sure to park your kayak or board in the designated areas.
Plan for about four to six hours for this adventure, or more if you want extra time to explore at the multiple stops.
Plan on a day rate of about $50 per person for most kayak and paddleboard rentals. To save some money, you could consider renting a double kayak if going with another person.
Bring or rent a dry bag if it isn't included in your tour price. This is a great place to store car and hotel keys, phones, cameras, snacks, dry clothes , and towels.
Some tour operators won't be able to transport your kayak or paddleboard rental for you. Make sure you enquire about this first and confirm that your vehicle can indeed transfer the watercrafts if needed.
Keep to the sides of the river and always leave a safe distance between you and boats.

If society can be distilled or simplified down to its ingredient cultures, and if cultures come from and are based on traditions, then a society's art based on component cultures and their respective traditions means, by extension, that all art is folk art. Handmade quilts are art and as such, the folk art of the Amish. They symbolically present beliefs, whisperings, conventions, habits, lifestyles and memories of a culture that began in Europe in the late 1600's. However, even back then the culture and its traditions were based on conventions that arose from previous times. So it goes back and back, reflecting what came before until the echoes eventually fade. A handmade Amish quilt should be seen as patterns and colors that may not have originated with the Amish. However, the Amish make pattern and color their own, filtered through their beliefs and lifestyle. What is particularly fascinating is how some Amish quilts reflect not back but forward to the future! (We'll discuss this in an upcoming post.) We've written 8 articles that discuss, from a folk art point of view, the basic types, designs, patterns and colors used by the Amish in their quilt making.
Basic Log Cabin quilt blocks are hand-pieced strips of fabric around a central square. One half of the strips are usually dark and the other half light. During America's Civil War, the term "Log Cabin" was coined and may have had a connection to the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. However, similar Log Cabin-like designs are found in English quilts predating 1830. An interesting historical point pertains to folklore suggesting that the signals for stops along the Underground Railroad were indicated by Log Cabin quilts hanging on clotheslines, with the color of the central square indicating special instructions. Specific to Amish culture, a red center square symbolizes the hearth of home and a yellow center square indicates a welcoming light in the window. The most interesting aspect of the Log Cabin quilt pattern is its capacity for manipulation into different patterns. The simple strips around a center block can be varied in size to create the curves seen in a Log Cabin in the Round quilt. A quilter can also make diagonal cuts into the "log" strips, sew them back together and create stars as seen in the Colorado Log Cabin quilt. Other variations include the Star Log Cabin and the Pineapple Log Cabin.

Karuna Training Origins
The Tibetan teacher, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-1987), was a pioneer in establishing Buddhism in the West. In addition to founding meditation centres in Europe, the USA and Canada, he also founded Naropa University in Boulder Colorado, and created a programme in Contemplative Psychology.
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Buddhist Psychology
As Trungpa Rinpoche began teaching in Western countries, he quickly realized that the language of psychology allowed him to transmit the essence of Buddhism to Western students. He included terms from Western Psychology in his presentation of Buddhist teachings. At a time when meditation was still regarded as something esoteric or religious, he used words such as "ego", "neurosis", "fear", "depression" and "unconscious mental patterns."
Naropa University
In 1974, Trungpa Rinpoche founded Naropa Institute (now Naropa University) in Boulder, Colorado. A group of psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists taught a course of study called Contemplative Psychology.
In close collaboration with Trungpa Rinpoche, Ed Podvoll and a number of Naropa Graduates founded the Windhorse Programme—Contemplative Psychology for caring for psychotic patients. Windhorse Programmes have grown and continue to be offered in Europe and North America.
Melissa Moore and Irini Rockwell, who had both been teaching extensively in North America and Europe, shared an interest in creating a Contemplative Psychotherapy/Psychology training in Europe. They developed a curriculum modelled on the Contemplative Psychology Masters program at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. Hubert Backes, Elisabeth Fey, Dagmar Niehaus, Gabi Gokert and Angelika Schulz, who had a psychotherapeutic practice in Bielefeld, Germany, became the Board.
In 1996 Melissa Moore, Phd, who had been trained at Naropa University met with a group of German psychologists and psychotherapists and with a few other collaborators, presented a training in Contemplative Psychology for professionals working in the fields of therapy, healthcare and medicine. This accredited training has been offered in Germany for the past 10 years for licensed professionals, and has now also expanded to Austria, France, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Sweden, North America and now the UK. Please find more information on Karuna Training in Europe here.
Mindfulness in the Therapeutic Context
The last fifteen years has seen an explosion in research into the benefits of mindfulness in the therapeutic context. The work of Contemplative Psychology – for a long time, a small isolated movement – is becoming mainstream practice. We are delighted to have been part of this journey and are deepening our collaboration with researchers in the fields of mindfulness and compassion.


"Bibarasse" or tiny clams Tiny clams, called in Venetian "bibarasse", are shellfish belonging to the Veneridae family, they look like medium-sized clams. Scientific description: Venus Gallina Tiny clams live mostly in sandy and shallow bottoms. In Italy they can be found mainly in the Adriatic Sea and can be fished through the use of suitably equipped boats, called "vongolari", having a hydraulic dredge (or turbocharger). This metal parallelepiped lays on the bottom, pushing the air through its mechanical power in order to remove the sand in its path, therefore trapping the shellfish. The importance and benefits of tiny clams in the daily diet is highlighted by their nutritional properties.

How To Start Your Career In Games...
0:01Skip to 0 minutes and 1 secondIf there's one thing you need to know about what to expect in a career in video games development, it's this. You never stop learning. Here's how our developers and experts see a career in games development, what they still want to learn, and some final pieces of advice for you. So my current aspirations are just to get through an entire game lifecycle-- so from start all the way to ships of pre-production, all the way through production ship and then post-support. I think that's the first main thing I'd like to do. Yeah. Yeah. For me, I think my aspiration is get to a principal artist level.
0:37Skip to 0 minutes and 37 secondsThat's where you're kind of making the flagship art and deciding what the kind of art style is for your art for everyone else. That's important to me. My aspiration is to be a lead designer. So I want to be able to manage a team of people and be able to help them also further their careers and be able to do the sort of stuff that I get to do right now.
0:56Skip to 0 minutes and 56 secondsThe skills I'd like to be able to develop in the future is that I want to be better at communicating-- so being able to do a lot of more out-of-office activities, so going around doing talks, encouraging people to come and join us in making games, and telling people why it's fun. Yeah. Skills I'd like to develop is more the engine side of things. So that's what we actually put our assets into and have the game actually running on. So for us, that's Unreal, and I'd like to make sure the characters look good in that, from how their skin lights and everything to do with that.
1:28Skip to 1 minute and 28 secondsI think I'd like to learn more about different system architecture so I can use that when solving different problems-- just have a wider array of experience to draw from. To develop the ability to have better communication, I think I need to put myself out there a bit more, which can be quite difficult at times, especially when you're quite anxious about these situations. But it's just about taking every opportunity that comes towards you, really. Yeah. For me, it's kind of doing personal projects that tackle those skills. So I'm actually doing examples where I'm working where I might not get a chance on the day-to-day job.
2:01Skip to 2 minutes and 1 secondI think it's probably branching out and just trying different areas of programming just to get more experience so I can pull that back into whatever I'm currently doing. Up until now, I've been very focused on my own development and finding mentorship for me. But I've reached a point in my career where I want to start being able to manage other producers and to find that receptionist or someone working outside the industry who's looking for their opportunity to come in so that I could bring them up. Sometimes, I can feel like the least technically skilled person in the room when I'm working with engineers and designers and artists who've been doing that for years.
2:37Skip to 2 minutes and 37 secondsSo I am always looking to learn from them and to do my own courses and studying to build up those skills. But it's my professional skills in the role of producer that's always going to be essential to unite experts from those different disciplines. To be able to be a good mentor to others, there's leadership training that I need to undertake. And I'm fortunate that the company I work at offers that to me. But for those more technical skills, if I want to understand more about coding or design, there are so many online courses that even in my own time, I can undertake to get better in those areas.
3:09Skip to 3 minutes and 9 secondsIf you're thinking about starting a career in video games, I would say, go for it. It's so diverse. It's so creative. There's not a specific way to join this industry. There are so many different ways. From the smallest companies to the hugest companies, if you've got skills that fit with those teams, you will find a place here. It is an awesome industry. We're lucky every day to work with such talented and creative people. You have to be determined. You've got to be prepared to work really hard. We're looking for talent. And ultimately, you work hard. And one day, your name will be in the game credits. It's a fantastic industry. It's full of creative and intelligent and inspiring people.
3:52Skip to 3 minutes and 52 secondsIt's very diverse-- offers lots of different routes to different careers. Lots of different skill sets are required. It's a hugely fast-paced industry, so it's constantly changing. So if you're looking for an environment where you're constantly challenged, then it's definitely a great environment to consider. And I think one of the best things about the games industry is that you can learn your skills in the UK, and you can transfer those skills all over the world. So if you want to go work in California, you want to go work in Australia, then it's absolutely possible. So yeah, it's a great industry to work in. Start your own project straight away. Start writing. Start designing. Start coding.
4:26Skip to 4 minutes and 26 secondsI think something that I certainly didn't have when I started in the games industry about 10 years ago was this wealth of free tools that students can use and sign up for. And there are engines and tools and even script writer mods for Word and things. And getting that stuff down, it helps you create a flow. It helps you figure out what it is you want to do. I think that's a really good point, figuring out what it is you want to do. I think you can work out what your skills are already and use that to hone in on what the job is that you want. What is the exact job that you want? You have to start somewhere.
4:59Skip to 4 minutes and 59 secondsThere are so many jobs. If you don't narrow it down a little bit, then you'll be all over the place. And you won't know what skills to learn. So when you're looking at all those tools and you're creating something for yourself, then think about the roles that you actually want to play. And make it relevant to that. Don't just create kind of everything. Think about-- again, I always come back to the story. What is it they're trying to create? Yeah. It's not a pick your own ending. We want someone to come in who actually knows what they want to do. Yeah.
5:25Skip to 5 minutes and 25 secondsAnd I think the back of that, the opportunities we've had to work in the games industry, I've travelled places I certainly couldn't afford to travel if I was going on my own with my and met some amazing people. And I just think even talking about creative chaos, going back into that creative chaos, just I can't imagine working anywhere else that would be this exciting day in, day out. I think that's so rare to find. Yes, that is one of the things I absolutely love about the games industry, the people, the creativity, and the variety.
As we see in this short video, our developers and experts share what they still want to learn, and offer some final pieces of advice for you.
Hopefully, you'll be inspired about starting a career in a sector that's changing so rapidly that you're always adapting and learning new skills. It's not a continuous uphill struggle and most developers love the challenge and excitement. That's not to say there won't be times where you're repeating a task, especially if you're working in a large studio inside a large team on a major title. But change is constant in games development.

Also known as the Horologion of Andronicus of Cyrrhus, the Tower of the Winds is an octagonal monument at the site of the Roman Forum. Built by the Greek astronomer Andronicus in the 1st century BC, the building functioned as a weather vane and sundial.
The personifications of the eight winds are carved on its eight surfaces and weather vane. During the second phase of the Turkish occupation the monument was converted into a Dervish teke, a Muslim religious institution visited by members of the order from every corner of the Empire.
After the Revolution of 1821, the Dervish order abandoned the monument. Later, once Athens became the capital, the surrounding area was named Aerides, or 'The Winds', after this notable monument.

Interview and Filming with Jessica Pearson The Space Outside
We Blondes have been meaning to tell you about our interview (and filming) with Jessica Pearson for a long time. It isn't a secret (although it is as exciting as a secret) and we think that you will be interested!
Jessica Pearson is a really interesting lady who loves being outside, runs her own film company (Shimnix) and has set about making a series of 4 films about her own and other women's relationships with the outdoors. We were very chuffed to be asked by Jessica to take part in the filming for the second of her four films. After watching the first, we were even more chuffed!
The Space Outside is woman-focused and aims to encourage women to grasp the idea that adventure is all around us and to encourage them to find ways to take part in it. Jess talks about people using the words, 'I am adventurous' and about how, whilst these words mean something different to each person who says them, they are equally true for all of them. For Jess the very process of making The Space Outside is an adventure.
Being interviewed by Jess was like talking to a friend who understood what you were trying to say. Probably because she did. We talked about our work with young females and their responses to adventure via DofE, The Ten Tors Challenge and World Challenge, we talked about the reasons behind and lessons learnt from our ladies only navigation workshops, we talked about our own lives and how our love of the outdoors had shaped them and we talked about some of the challenges that women face in the outdoor world.
During the course of the interview we learnt a bit about being filmed, for example, we had to look in the right place (at Jess so that wasn't difficult), we had to sit 'at the same level', which obviously caused some Blonde laughter, I had a bit of trouble controlling my hand-waving (can't wait to see the results of that) and both of us discovered that we could probably talk about the outside for a very long time!
You can view the first film of The Space Outside here, I really enjoyed its peaceful approach to inspiration. Jess is a Devon lass and for those of you who live in South Devon, she will be talking at the Torquay Museum as part of their Explorer Season on November 11th.

Paulina Luisi Janicki (* 1875 in Colón (Entre Ríos), Argentinien; † 1950 in Montevideo, Uruguay) war eine uruguayische Ärztin, Lehrerin, Autorin und Frauenrechtlerin. Sie war die erste uruguayische Frau, die 1908 einen Abschluss in Medizin in Uruguay erhielt. Sie war die erste weibliche Regierungsdelegierte Lateinamerikas beim Völkerbund, aus dem später die Vereinten Nationen wurden.

Leben und Werk

Luisi war das älteste von acht Kindern des italienischen Emigranten Ángel Luisi Pisano und der Lehrerin Maria Teresa Josefina Janicki. Ihr Vater war nach dem Jurastudium als Mitglied der Legion der Vogesen unter Giuseppe Garibaldi nach Frankreich gezogen. Ihre Mutter war die Tochter polnischer Exilanten in Frankreich und hatte als Lehrerin in Dijon gearbeitet. Nach ihrer Heirat wanderten ihre Eltern 1872 nach Argentinien aus, wo sie eine Schule gründeten. Später zogen sie nach Paysandú, wo sie ebenfalls eine Schule gründeten. 1887 zog die Familie nach Montevideo, wo Luisi an der National Teaching Boarding School unter der Leitung von María Stagnero de Munar zur Lehrerin ausgebildet wurde.

1900 begann sie als erste uruguayische Frau ein Medizinstudium an der medizinischen Fakultät der Universidad de la República. 1908 erhielt sie den Doktor der Medizin und 1923 erwarb sie in Paris die Spezialisierung in Dermatologie und Geschlechtskrankheiten.

Die reformistische Regierung des Präsidenten José Batlle y Ordóñez beauftragte sie 1913, soziale Hygienemaßnahmen in Europa zu studieren. Während ihres Aufenthalts in Frankreich freundete sie sich mit Marie Bonnevial, der Präsidentin des Frauenrates, an und interessierte sich für den Kampf gegen den weißen Sklavenhandel, der die Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts von der Engländerin Josephine Butler gegründete Abolitionistenbewegung vorangetrieben hatte.

Zurückgekehrt nach Uruguay setzte sie sich im Rahmen der Sozialen Hygiene gegen Frauenhandel, Zuhälterei und Prostitution ein. Sie empfahl, die Sexualerziehung in die Bildung beider Geschlechter zu integrieren, da sowohl Männer als auch Frauen für eine angemessene sexuelle Gesundheit verantwortlich seien, um Geschlechtskrankheiten vorzubeugen. 1906 schlug sie das erste Projekt zur Sexualerziehung in Uruguay vor. Als Sekretärin des Abolitionist Committee of the River Plate leistete sie einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Reform der Prostitutionsregelungen in Buenos Aires.

Einsatz für Frauenrechte

Luisis Engagement für die Rechte der Frau begann 1908 mit der Vereinigung argentinischer Universitätsfrauen. Diese Vereinigung organisierte 1910 den Ersten Internationalen Frauenkongress in Buenos Aires und sie übernahm dafür die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in Uruguay. Im folgenden Jahr gründete und leitete sie die uruguayische Sektion der Panamerikanischen Frauenföderation.

1910 trat sie der in Montevideo gegründeten Sozialistischen Partei Uruguays bei, um für die politischen und bürgerlichen Rechte der Frauen zu kämpfen. Sie gründete 1916 den Consejo Nacional de Mujeres (Nationaler Frauenrat), (CONAMU) und 1919 die Alianza de Mujeres para los Derechos Femeninos (Frauenbündnis für Frauenrechte), in der sie sich zusammen mit Fanny Carrió und Isabel Pinto de Vidal neben vielen anderen Frauen für das Frauenwahlrecht einsetzte. Ihr Haus in Montevideo diente als Arztpraxis und beherbergte gleichzeitig bis 1922 das Hauptquartier des Nationalen Frauenrats.

1917 wurde eine neue Verfassung in Uruguay per Volksabstimmung angenommen und trat 1919 in Kraft. Darin wurde festgelegt, dass Männer und Frauen die gleichen Rechte haben. Zu dieser Zeit begannen sich auch Wahlrechtsorganisationen im Land zu organisieren. Auf lokaler Ebene fand in der Stadt Cerro Chato 1927 in Uruguay die erste Wahlausübung einer Frau in Südamerika überhaupt statt. 1932 wurde das Gesetz verabschiedet, das das Wahlrecht für Frauen bei nationalen Wahlen vorsah, was erstmals bei den Parlamentswahlen 1938 Anwendung fand.

Luisi gründete die uruguayischen und argentinischen Zweige der International Abolitionist Federation und war auch Chefredakteurin der Zeitschrift Acción Female. Sie half bei der Gründung der Gewerkschaft der Telefonistinnen und der Gewerkschaft der Schneiderinnen.

Internationales Netzwerk
Sie war Mitglied des Direktoriums mehrerer internationaler feministischer Vereinigungen, nahm an mehreren Kongressen in Europa teil und baute dadurch ein umfangreiches persönliches akademisches Netzwerk über mehr als fünfzig Jahre auf.
1922 war sie die Vertreterin der uruguayischen Regierung in der Beratenden Kommission des Völkerbundes gegen Frauen- und Kinderhandel. Von 1924 bis 1927 war sie auf Ersuchen dieser Kommission Mitglied der Expertenkommission zur Untersuchung des Menschenhandels auf Weltebene, in der sie die einzige lateinamerikanische Repräsentantin war. In diesen Jahren war sie Vorsitzende der Internationalen Kommission gegen Frauenhandel und moralische Einheit der International Woman Suffrage Alliance. 1919 gründete sie zusammen mit Ángel Giménez das Argentinisch-Uruguayische Abolitionist Committee gegen Frauenhandel und für die Regulierung der Prostitution. Von diesen Positionen aus versuchte sie, mehrere Kampagnen gegen die Prostitution im Río de la Plata zu organisieren, eine Reihe von Broschüren zu diesem Thema zu schreiben sowie Arbeiten zur Sexualaufklärung, und Konferenzen in Amerika und Europa zu organisieren.

Sie war zweimal Mitglied des Board of Directors der International Woman Suffrage Alliance und von 1924 bis 1932 Vizepräsidentin der International League of Iberian and Hispanic American Women. Sie vertrat diese Organisation bei den Abrüstungskonferenzen in Genf 1932 und war auch Delegierte der uruguayischen Regierung. In den dreißiger Jahren war sie Mitglied des Komitees zur Bekämpfung von Faschismus und Krieg. Als Aktivistin für den Weltfrieden nahm sie 1932 an der Internationalen Abrüstungskonferenz teil, an der nur fünf Frauen teilnahmen. Sie bekleidete Positionen in zahlreichen internationalen Organisationen zur Verteidigung der Frauenrechte.

Sie wurde von der portugiesischen und spanischen Regierung mit dem Orden von Alfonso XII. für ihre Arbeit zur Prostitution und zur Bekämpfung des Frauenhandels ausgezeichnet. Sie starb im Alter von 75 Jahren in Montevideo. Die Medizinische Fakultät ehrte ihr Andenken, indem sie einen der Räume ihrer Bibliothek nach ihr benannte. Im Legislativpalast des uruguayischen Parlaments gibt es einen Raum, der ihren Namen trägt, und eine Straße in Montevideo trägt die Bezeichnung Dra Paulina Luisi.

Regal cinemas is also reopening July 10th but they're only adhering to local laws
By Celebitchy
We heard last week that AMC theaters planned to open most of its US theaters on July 10th with limited capacity, blockbusters on more screens and social distancing. AMC is close to bankruptcy and this was surely to avoid that. Since that announcement, the release of Christopher Nolan's Tenet has been pushed back from July 17 to July 31. The live action Mulan is still set to come out on July 24. Now the other big movie chain, Regal (owned by Cineworld), is going to open on July 10th too. Only as Slashfilm points out they're only requiring employees and moviegoers to wear masks where it's required by law and in theaters without online reservations they're relying on guests to socially distance themselves!
According to its official website (via The Playlist), Regal Cinemas has unveiled a new series of procedures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 when its theaters reopen. The biggest takeaways are that audience capacities will be limited to 50% – but only in areas where the state or county mandates it. Masks will only be worn by employees and guests in areas where it's mandated by the government. Online reservation systems will ensure that there are two empty seats between groups (one seat at recliner locations), but in theaters that don't have online reserved seating, guests will just be asked to leave two seats between groups.
[From Slashfilm]
Regal is going to temperature check employees, sanitize with foggers after each movie, and clean more. Again, their official reopening plan only says they'll reduce capacity and wear mask where it's required by law. I don't think one reclining seat between guests is enough, that's not six feet! I live in a state with a decent governor who declared masks mandatory and just declared Juneteeth a holiday. Every store I go into has a sign that masks are required. While more people are wearing them, I would say it's still only about 65 to 75%. I've been in movie theaters with people reading their phone half the time with the light at full blast. Do you think anyone is going to enforce masks, even in places where they're required?! This is a recipe for disaster, but as Slashfilm mentions the theater industry is on the brink and they're doing whatever it takes to stay in business. Also I have a Regal Crown card because I used to go to the movies constantly. (I was never in their movie club though. RIP Moviepass.) Depending on what we hear about their reopening I may just close out my card and send them an email about it. They surely don't care, they're just doing whatever they have to not to shut down. I miss going to the movies so much, but not enough to risk my health. Hopefully we'll see more drive-ins open around the US. That would be a nice change.

Case says:
I'm so disappointed Disney is going through with releasing Mulan in July. I very much so want to support this movie but I'm not going to a theater this summer, and probably not this year. Ugh. Since this is a family film it would've made way more sense to release it to VOD.
I agree. I really wanted to see this, but no way am I going to a movie theater in July.
Mabs A'Mabbin says:
I had to be dragged into theatres BEFORE covid. Now? Hah!
Bad ass poster though.
Badass indeed! And I agree, the last place I would consider going is a movie theater, ugh.
Lanie says:
What even is the point of checking employee temperatures if you're just going to expose them to the general public who you won't make wear masks and you won't enforce social distancing in seating?
Regal should have done what politicians and wealthy people always tell us working class stiffs: have 6 months of operating costs as savings. And stop buying Jordans and iPhones.
Deering24 says:
Yeah, funny how that works. 🤮 When the pandemic hit, I was amazed (but somehow not surprised) at how many corporations didn't have six months of backup savings. It seems like too many of them are working with razor-thin profit margins at best.
Covid hasn't gone anywhere, there is no vaccine, and the world is opening up restaurants, theaters etc like covid disappeared. Nothing has changed since this started….No thank you, not going to these places so they can make money on my health!
Ferdinand says:
As I read in before in an article, "there's no way I'm trusting sanitizing and cleaning to a bunch of hard working teenagers when they can't even be bothered to keep their room spotless".
This is sad. Putting all at risk. I miss so much going to the movies. It was my only escape, the one thing I truly enjoyed and loved. Ugh.
Alarmjaguar says:
My high school best friend and boyfriend both worked at movie theaters, yeah, I saw how that went, no way do I trust those employees to be thorough.
Stacy Dresden says:
Mulan looks really good!
katncrunch says:
Where I live, the local COVID ordinances are much more proactive than the statewide ones, so it might work out; however, I know there are plenty of places that this isn't the case for. I also wonder how much the precautions will be enforced, and if managers will actually step in or if they'll leave enforcement to the minimum wage teenagers at the snack bar. Having once been a teenage movie theatre employee, I'm leaning towards the latter. There's really nothing like being 17 and having some 30-something scream at you for not bending the laws of reality to their whims.
This is a recipe for disaster. Forget for a moment the reality that most won't wear a mask ("How can I eat my 6 gal. tub of popcorn in a mask!?"), forget that there won't truly be six feet beside or BEHIND or in front of you…THINK ABOUT BEING IN AN ENCLOSED ENVIORNMENT, WITH CIRCULATED A/C, FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS! Any germs/droplets will be recirculated all around you during that time. DOORS ARE CLOSED…NO OTHER AIR COMING IN TO *STIR* IT OUT.
Yeah..HARD PASS for the next year at least.
Lucy2 says:
A theater near me opened last week, against the rules, and the health dept shut them down. Then they whined about being "unfairly targeted "! Hello, you opened too soon and publicly announced it!
I can't see going anytime soon. I miss the movies, but no.

Christopher Niesche: China's psychological war on Australian business
15 Nov, 2020 04:00 PM 5 minutes to read
Image / 123rf
By: Christopher Niesche
Australia's latest stoush with China is not so much a trade war as a psychological war waged by the Chinese against Australian businesses.
Many companies are ending up as collateral damage in the worsening diplomatic relationship between Canberra and Beijing.
Christopher Niesche: Australia's richest boost fortunes despite pandemic
Christopher Niesche: Crown Sydney casino Packer's pecker in a high-stakes political pickle
As China seeks to punish Australia by blocking our exports, businesses with an interest in China are becoming close observers of foreign relations.
Upset at Australia's pushing back on its territorial ambitions for the Pacific, the Chinese government is upping up all sorts of barriers to many of our key exports – with the exception of iron ore, which China needs to continue its ongoing push to modernisation.
The Chinese government has asked importers to stop purchasing at least seven categories of Australian product – including coal, cotton, wine, education and seafood – according to reports.
The phrase "according to reports" is key, because the Chinese government has made no official comment.
The information has all come from Chinese media outlets, unlikely to run such stories without an OK from the government, and from second-hand reports from importers, who are telling their Australian suppliers they can no longer buy their goods.
The tactics look designed to inflict the maximum psychological damage on business and the government.
Exporters are left wondering what the status of their market is, having to second guess whether they should send a shipment off to China only to have it blocked at the port on spurious grounds – weeds in the barley or high levels of metal in the lobsters.
And importers don't want to risk buying Australian goods and so are turning to other markets.

Row erupts between cannabis firm Puro and two former directors
On Tuesday following unofficial reports of bans in Chinese media share prices of copper-exposed Sandfire Resources, followed by Treasury Wine Estates, barely exporter United Malt Group, A2 Milk, Oz Minerals, Iluka Resources and IDP Education all fell sharply.
Australian exporters are hoping the multilateral approach to foreign affairs of incoming US President Joe Biden, rather than Trump's go it alone method will help restore relations with China and reopen the export channels.
Dud directors not moving on
Imagine a job that paid close to three hundred thousand dollars, was only part-time and which you could hold onto, even if you weren't carrying out your duties very well.
For most of us, it sounds too good to be true, but for Australian company directors, that's the reality.
Australia's directors are drawn from a tight-knit circle and when company boards are looking for a new member, they prefer to seek out someone who already sits on a company board, according to a report by Ownership Matters, a research firm advising investors how to vote in board elections.
The report, titled "Many are called, few are chosen", looked at the records of directors of Australia's 300 largest companies and found that while the number of women has increased, overall there is been little increase in diversity beyond the pool of existing directors.
The boards of the worst-performing companies refresh themselves "only marginally" more than the boards of the best-performing.
In other words, there is little punishment for those directors who do a poor job of stewarding their companies and the investors' monies wrapped up in them.
"If a high-performance culture does not exist in the board, investors should ask how one can prosper within the company's workforce?" the paper asks.
There's a lot at stake from directors doing their job property. "The appointment of high-quality, diverse and suitably skilled directors is fundamental to good governance. As stewards of $1.7 trillion of capital, high performing boards of listed companies are an important driver of the long-term health of the Australian economy and the retirement incomes of Australian savers," the report states.
Investors deserve more for their money. The average annual fee for a director of one of Australia's largest 300 companies is A$294,000 ($297,000) – not too bad for a part-time role.
This is not to denigrate Australia's company directors.
Many of them work very hard and don't treat their jobs like part-time sinecures. And a large number also devote a lot of time and money working on the boards of not-for-profits or charities, or to teach up and coming directors the principles of good governance.
But those who aren't performing aren't held accountable.
The average tenure of boards for a director with only one board seat is 71 months, while those with two board seats serve for an average of 16 months – just shy of a decade.
In Australia, directors face re-election only once every three years, so investors don't have much chance to remove underperformers.
Ownership Matters founder and CEO Dean Paatsch believes directors should face shareholders for re-election much more often.
"The analysis makes a compelling case for the annual election of all public company directors in Australia. This will stop the shielding of dud directors and tighten the renewal cycle in the event of continued company underperformance," he says.

BENJAMIN IPAVEC (1829 – 1908)
Born in a distinguish family of doctors and musicians, B. Ipavec is one of the tree most acknowledged Slovenian romantic composers. Beside his operas, he left a significant track of artistic excellence in his songs. He was therefore named »Slovenian Schubert«. His style belongs to romanticism, but he often uses some classical elements. Characteristic for his works are melodic invention, outstanding feeling for developing melodic lines, rich and luscious harmony and the use of clear musical forms. The Serenade for strings (1898) is one of his best works for chamber music. The four movements are: Sonatina, Menuet, Andante
with variations and Alla Polacca: tree of them (first, second and forth) were originaly written for piano four-hands, and the third movement for piano solo only.
JURIJ MIHEVEC (1805 – 1882)
Composer and pianist, born in Ljubljana, he was mostly active in Paris as "Georges Micheuz". He wrote more than 550 piano works: etudes, polonaises, waltzes, romances, mazurkas, polkas, gallops, capriccios, nocturnes, scherzos, marches, barcarolles, reveries, melodies...
His compositions were published worldwide by renowned publishers (Milan, Dresden, Leipzig, Turin, London, Lyon, Rio de Janeiro) and become so popular to often require a large number of reprints. Mihevec was perhaps one of the first Slovenian musicians to work as an independent musician: composer and pianist. His most famous orchestral work is »The Planets«. He died in poverty and felt almost in oblivion.
Lucijan Marija Škerjanc, one of the greatest Slovenian composers of the 20th century, wrote a biography about Mihevc describing his music with these words: »It is typically for Mihevc´s composing style that the melodic invention floats in well-mannered rail of accustomed tradition: in most of the melodic lines the main tones are chord tones. He is limiting himself mostly on main harmonic functions and he is avoiding modulations. He is firmly attached to diatonic music language.
« Here some interesting facts from his biography:
In his youth he got smallpox. He survived but the heavy inflammation bent his left arm. This forced him to adjust the technique of his left arm. A special sensation for the listeners was certainly his virtuous playing which included also the use of his left elbow as a constructive and dexterous help for accompaniment in lower registers.
Tradition claims, that during his stay in Vienna he became friend with Schubert and Beethoven.
His piano concert from 1839 is probably the first Slovenian composition of this genre. By performing that piece, Mihevec himself was used to improvise upon themes suggested by the audience.
GOJMIR KREK (1875 – 1942)
He was born in Graz and become an excellent lawyer. He was Court secretary in Vienna, professor for law, dean of the same faculty and also rector of the University in Ljubljana. He was also the editor of the most important music magazine Novi akordi (New Chords), theoretician, music writer, music critic and an appreciated composer. He got his first music lessons from his mother. They often played together performing pieces for piano four-hands for different occasions. Krek's piano oeuvre includes in total 53 works. His style can be characterised as romantic with sensitive lyric expression where melodic lines are clear but usually not to widely developed. His melodic language is quite simple whereas the harmonic structure is more audacious and rich in chromatics.
UROŠ ROJKO (1954)
... graduated in composition and clarinet at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana. He continued his studies in Freiburg and Hamburg. He won several prestigious prizes for composition f.e. the "Premio Europa 1985" in Rome, "Gaudeamuspreis 1986" in Amsterdam, "Wiener Internationaler Kompositionspreis 1991" (where his first prized composition »Inner Voices« for flute and orchestra was performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra with Claudio Abbado as conductor at the festival "Wien Modern"). In 1988 he was awarded with the "Prešeren" prize: the most important acknowledgement given by the Republic of Slovenia and in 2012 with the "Župančič" award.
He is a professor of composition at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana. As a composer and teacher U. Rojko is pursuing an opened, internationally awarded creative discourse. His composition »Simpathy« was created after the incitement of his former piano teacher Mirjam Battista to write a piano piece for her pupils. One other of his works for two pianos is a cycle called "Five tangoes" from 1995.
MARKO OZBIČ (1970)
...was born in Trieste, Italy. In 1990 he gained his first major in piano performance at the Conservatorio G. Tartini in his home town and continued his studies at the University of Music in Vienna, Austria (conducting by Uroš Lajovic, and Günther Theuring as well as composition and music-theory by Francis Burt and Diether de la Motte). He graduated in 1995. In the same year he became Kapellmeister of the Vienna Boys Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben). In 1999 he was appointed to the Wiener Staatsoper as deputy chorus-master and artistic director of the Opernsingschule. After the Viennese experience he started an international career as chorus-master and conductor which led him to the major opera houses and concert-halls worldwide (Teatro di san Carlo-Naples, Opéra de Lyon, Det Kongelige Teater-Copenhagen, Opéra de Monte-Carlo, Slovenska Filharmonija-Ljubljana, Finnish State Opera-Helsinki, NCPA-Beijing). He is also a very appreciated teacher and vocal coach. Marko Ozbič' composition for two pianos "Drei Choralbearbeitungen über "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott" (Three Variations upon the Chorale "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"), is based on a serial structure which is extrapolated from the Chorale through mathematical formulas and other artifices. Its numerical symbolism (or code) is correlated to the mystical number 3 (=Trinity=GOD), which is inherent (as the least common denominator) to the amount of the Chorale-notes (18+18+33). The three movements (I. Moderato, leggermente rubato, II. Senza Tempo, III. Lento, accelerando poco a poco fino alla fine) represent three overlying levels of consciousness i.e. (spiritual) dimensions.
BOJAN GLAVINA (1961)
Composer, pianist, piano teacher, lecturer, publicist, Glavina graduated in organ (H. Bergant) and composition (M. Mihevc) at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana. He also participated in a two-year master course for piano teachers held by Prof. Sijavuš Gadžijev in Trieste (Italy). He started to compose while teaching piano, inspired by the immediate needs of his pupils. He wanted to create original music made just for them and their taste: funny, but at the same time also challenging. His music (especially his works for children and youth) is melodically and harmonically attractive, playful, light, descriptive and understandable. Glavina is today one of the most performed Slovenian composers and some of his works were chosen as compulsory pieces by well-known piano competitions as TEMSIG (Slovenian national music competition), the Chopin Golden Ring (Radovljica) and the Tartini Competition in Piran.
Bojan Glavina's opus is very rich and varied. Most of his compositions are for piano and chamber music, but he also compose works for choir, singers, chamber ensambels and orchestra. As a composer he was awarded at several Slovenian and international composer -competitions in Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, USA... More than sixty of his works were published by various editors. Glavina has also released seven CD albums with his own music. He is a founding member of the EPTA (European Piano Teachers Association) in Slovenia.
Presentation of the CD "Through the fairytale cities of black and white keys".
The piano is a colour palette on which landscapes and worlds arise, it is a research workshop in which the artist shapes his or her own language. Bojan Glavina uses the keyboard in an explicitly narrative way: sometimes his stories are descriptions, sometimes impressions, deep or soaring thoughts, games, dedications. The selection of his compositions on the present CD is also diverse and communicative. The CD presents itself as a colourful journey through dreamworlds of fairy tales and childish imaginings, which then flow into the artist's relationship towards the legacy of the great masters, into the symbolism of the four elements, all the way to increasingly abstract impressions of sonic and colourful dimensions.
All of the compositions are connected by a desire for clear, direct communication. As Glavina himself states, he writes music with the intenting to illuminate listeners, performers and creators with the "sunny side of music: lightness, serenity, simplicity and the joy of playing.«

Het Kir2.1 eiwit vormt een kaliumionkanaal dat een wezenlijke functie heeft in spier- en hersencellen.

Kalium ionkanalen
Kaliumionkanalen spelen een belangrijke rol bij de vorming van actiepotentialen (AP) en bij het reguleren van AP-frequenties in weefsels zoals hersenen en hart. Kaliumkanalen behoren tot de grootste en meest diverse familie van ionkanalen.
De ionstroom welke verantwoordelijk is voor het vormen van de uiteindelijke repolarisatie van de AP en de stabiele rustfases tussen de opeenvolgende actiepotentialen is de inwaarts rectificerende kaliumstroom (IK1). De kanalen die deze kaliumstroom genereren worden Kir-kanalen genoemd.
De familie van Kir-kanalen is onderverdeeld in 7 subfamilies waaronder de Kir2.x subfamilie (Kir2.1-Kir2.4) welke voor een belangrijk deel ten grondslag ligt aan de IK1-kanalen in het hart.

Functie Kir2.1
Een belangrijk ionkanaal van de Kir2.x-subfamilie is Kir2.1. De stroom die door dit kanaal gegenereerd wordt is voornamelijk verantwoordelijk voor een stabiel rustmembraanpotentiaal in verscheidene celtypes zoals zenuwcellen en spiercellen. Strikte regulering van Kir2.1 voorkomt voortijdige AP-formatie en verzekert optimale repolarisatietijden. Mutaties in dit kanaal liggen ten grondslag aan erfelijke ziekten als syndroom van Andersen-Tawil, bepaalde vormen van boezemfibrilleren en inspanninggeïnduceerde hartritmestoornissen. Toxicologische blokkering van Kir2.1-ionkanalen door bariumzouten leiden onder andere tot zeer ernstige ademhalingsproblemen en hartritmestoornissen. Blokkering van kaliumkanalen leidt tot depolarisatie van de rustmembraanpotentiaal. Het gevolg daarvan is dat er een kleinere prikkel dan normaal nodig is voor volledige depolarisatie van het membraan om een actiepotentiaal te genereren. In het hart zorgt dit ervoor dat de spiercellen extra prikkelbaar worden.

Bouw Kir2.1
Het menselijk Kir2.1-kanaal wordt gecodeerd door het KCNJ2-gen wat zich op chromosoom 17q23.1-q24.2 bevindt. Het Kir2.1-eiwit bestaat uit 427 aminozuren en wordt geschat op een grootte van 48.2 kD.
Zoals alle Kir-kanalen bestaat Kir2.1 (afbeelding) uit 2 transmembraandomeinen (geel), een extracellulair domein (blauw), een korte polypeptidelus waarin het kaliumselectiviteitsfilter zich bevindt (GYG)(rood) en intracellulaire N- (groen) en C-termini (oranje). Na assemblage van vier Kir2.1-subunits ontstaat er een functioneel IK1-kanaal.

Onderzoek
Op internationaal niveau wordt er in verscheidene laboratoria onderzoek gedaan naar Kir2.1. Een aantal belangrijke onderzoeks-instituten zijn:
Molecular and Integrative Physiology, University of Michigan
Department of Anatomy and Physiology, Saga University
Primary Children's Medical Center, University of Utah
Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Binnen Nederland:
Afdeling Medische Fysiologie, UMC Utrecht
