The Contributions of New Americans in Michigan
Over the last several decades, Michigan has become increasingly attractive to immigrants—a development that has had a positive impact on the economy of this Midwestern state. Rust Belt cities like Detroit were particularly hard-hit during the Great Recession, suffering both economic downturns and population loss, but recent influxes of immigrants have helped to mitigate some of these negative effects, providing businesses with the customers they need and governments with a healthy tax base. In 1990, Michigan's immigrant community represented only 3.8 percent of the state's total population. By 2010, that share had risen to 5.8 percent. And between 2010 and 2014, Michigan's foreign-born population grew by an additional 60,000 people.

Director: Lucio Fulci
Starring: Christopher George, Katorina MacColl, Carlo de Mejo, Antonella Interlenghi, Giovanni Lombardo Radice
Written by: Lucio Fulco and Dardano Sacchetti
Original cert: X
Original UK Release: March 1981
Forget the recent torture porn or found footage that seem to be the stable of modern horrors, you need to look at the late 70s and early 80s for the most bizarre horrors around and they came from Italy. Lucio Fulci was a director who wasn't afraid to push the boundaries of taste with his graphically gruesome slice of terror, while telling tales that made no sense at all. His films are now regarded as kitsch gory classics but at the time of release, they were more than problematic.
The first of his Gates of Hell trilogy, (The Beyond and House By The Cemetery being the others), the controversial director had already caused a stir in the cinema community with Zombi 2 (or Zombie Flesh Eaters). Made to cash in on George A. Romero's success with Dawn Of The Dead, Fulci upped he level of graphic and at a time when there was no regulation on video, it became an instant hit especially among those who were far too young to view it in the cinema. Fulci followed it up with three films all based around the idea of the Gates of Hell opening its doors and spitting out the unread. All were pretty strange but City of the Living Dead has the oddest of script.
Okay, stay with me here. Mary Woodhouse is a psychic and during a seance, witnesses a priest hanging himself in the town of Dunwich, causing her to die. Meanwhile, the priest's action releases the unread to roam the town, with the ability of telekinesis, levitation and incredible strength. Meanwhile, a reporter, Peter Bell, smelling out a story about Mary's death, decides to dig deeper and finds she's not dead but is close to being buried. Meanwhile, the town of Dunwich are finding strange things happening and people are dying. They put the blame on a local pervert. Meanwhile, after being saved by Peter, Mary tells him about the vision and the pair must head to Dunwich to close the Gates of Hell.
Still with me? The joy about this horror is how utterly bonkers the story is, yet it doesn't distract from the enjoyment of watching a filmmaker go as far as he can with the violence. Within the space of its 93 minute running time (if you are watching the original cut. There are many cuts) you get a woman vomiting up her intestines, a man having a drill in his head and zombies squeezing the back of people's heads so hard, their brains ooze out in their hands. There's nothing subtle about this film and Fulci is proud of this fact.
Even though the plot is rubbish and the effects compared to modern creations are not brilliant (in the drill scene, the colour of the man's skin goes from flesh coloured to an off-orange as the drill enters) what Fulci dies very well is create atmosphere. No matter how odd things gets and how laugh ably bad the dialogue is, it feels incredibly creepy. With decent misty cinematography and good use of lighting, it looks impressive. Fulci's films always had that going for it.
The performances are uniformally awful, from American actor Christopher George's cigar chewing reporter to the badly dubbed Italian actors, it all adds to the fun of the film. Caught up in the video nasty scandal in the mid 80s, the film was removed and released in a cut form but was reclassified at the turn of this century. Fulci went on to make much more nastier and less enjoyable affairs, including the notorious New York Ripper, as he moved away from zombies and more into giallo. It's his early work that are his most inventive, if a little on the sick side.
It sounds like I'm slating the film and yes it's bad but in a good way. You can laugh at it while still being surprised or shocked. It isn't for those who don't like graphic violence but those who can stomach it, you will have a blast at this crazy horror.
2/5 (or 4/5 depending on your idea of bad/good)

One of World of Warcraft's most disruptive highlights was presented in its last development - Garrisons. Basically adding up to a base administration minigame, players could find NPCs, motivate them to play out a basic capacity for buy cheap Outland gold their instanced camp, and lead them to triumph through every day missions with clocks. It was fun at in the first place, yet got old after some time, particularly since players were required to sign in always to keep an eye on.
The Class Hall framework in Legion is likely going to have longer legs. It's more much the same as a questing framework from a JRPG, and it has a more straightforward effect on the story. It additionally has an extraordinary, simple to utilize sidekick application that gives you a chance to deal with your construct while you're in light of the go.
Despite the fact that I practically have an idea about the Broken Isles at this point (the new zone), I cherish that the world guide appears on the application itself, and that you can really observe where your troops are going. It adds a little story to the robotized attempts, an "I've been there" kind of buy cheap Outland gold fellowship write feeling that causes you interface with your NPCs a bit. I won't ruin it, however observing some significant legend characters show up as saints for some class lobbies is a pleasant touch as well.

Look forward, for once, to a 16-hour flight with a special Gilt City deal for discounted round-trip, first-class tickets on Cathay Pacific.
You can do a lot with $20,000. Buy a Honda Civic. Pay off your college loans. Rent an apartment in Paris...for a year. You can also fly non-stop, in first class on a top airline, from the U.S. to Hong Kong—but Gilt City has made a deal with Cathay Pacific to reduce the round-trip price to $5,000 (including taxes and fees) while throwing in a bonus $500 Gilt City shopping credit. So let's be clear: Now is the time to book that trip to Hong Kong.
The catch? (Of course there's one.) This deal is only available on November 18, so set your calendar alert.
Here's how it works: Fly from San Francisco (SFO), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK), Chicago O'Hare (ORD), or Boston Logan (BOS) on Cathay Pacific, ranked one of the top ten international airlines in our 2015 Readers' Choice Awards. With this deal, you'll get more than just the bragging rights. Cathay Pacific's first class seat is a mini bed: a leather-lined, extra-wide seat that lies completely flat and comes with mattress topper, fluffy duvet, and complimentary PYE pajamas. Before it's bedtime, the flight offers flutes of Krug champagne; a multi-course, made-to-order meal and wine list (though we're partial to the Hong Kong–style hot milk tea); Bose noise-canceling headphones; and enough on-demand video options for a proper binge.
What may seem like regular granola is actually one of Alaska Airlines' most popular dishes and a frequently requested recipe. Served in first class on Alaska Airlines' shorter routes within the U.S., the granola combines rolled oats, brown sugar, roasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and fresh blueberries for a healthy and filling start to the travel day.
ANA now servers regional specialties of Japan on select routes, with Tottori's "Koura-yaki" in business class making our best-of list. What's Koura-yaki? Oh, just super delicious crab meat and crab butter wrapped in egg and accompanied by itadaki (rice and vegetables wrapped in fried tofu).
The best part of business class on Austrian Airlines isn't the main dish, or even a hot breakfast before arrival; the star of the show is the dessert and traditional Viennese coffee service. Austrian Airlines flight attendants are trained to whip up any of the 10 different specialty coffees onboard, each served with an individual Gugelhupf, a traditional Austrian bundt cake.
Every month, a different Mandarin Oriental executive chef designs the first class menus on Cathay Pacific flights, with the multi-course meals pinned to the seasons and the specialties of each individual Mandarin Oriental hotel. For example, the Mandarin Oriental San Francisco is sending its roasted chicken breast with braised cannellini beans, chanterelles, and lemon confit to the skies.
As Hawaiian cuisine is a mix of various influences from both North America and Asia, the premium meals of Hawaiian Airlines' First Class often feature exotic comfort foods. On the menu now is Filipino Beef Kare Kare, an oxtail stew with tripe and pork leg simmered in a cashew sauce with asparagus, roasted potatoes, and carrots.
Guests flying JetBlue's Mint premium class on transcontinental routes from JFK and Boston to LAX and San Francisco may choose three dishes from the menu of mains, both hot and cold, all which change with the season and are signature flavors of the Manhattan restaurant Saxon + Parole.
Drizzle some Chilean extra virgin olive oil on your salad, but save room for the beef when flying LAN Airlines. LAN proudly serves some of the best beef in South America, with sides that highlight the freshest vegetables of the seasons.
It's a tough decision between the caramel flan and the chocolate cake with berries, but the beauty of flying premium business class on LAN is the freedom to choose both.
Renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa is one of the four culinary experts lending their talent to Qatar Airways' in-flight meals. His recipes feature in the business class menu, from the amuse bouche all the way to dessert. Nobu's main course—yellowtail with teriyaki and truffle sauce, sweet potatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes, and okra—is already a favorite of Qatar's premium a la carte menu.
The premium menus of Singapore Airlines are legendary as a sampler of dishes from across Asia. Pre-ordering a special meal via Singapore's "Book the Cook" program ensures passengers always enjoy their first choice, one of which can be the multi-course Japanese Kyo Kaiseki on flights originating in Singapore.
Almost always offered on TAM's premium business menu, this choice cut of beef is influenced by the famous churrasco cooking style of Brazil and paired with potatoes à la dauphinoise and a dulce de leche tart for dessert. Wash it down with a glass of wine from a list of Argentine and Chilean wines selected by Brazilian sommelier Arthur Azevedo.
"Herb-marinated chicken breast with gigante beans, seared artichokes, roasted radishes, and caramelized fennel with sherry chicken jus" is not the kind of thing you usually expect from a domestic in-flight menu, but it's there among the First Class selections for Virgin America. Not in the mood for chicken? Virgin America also has Korean bibimbap and coq au vin with slow-braised short rib on their current First Class menu.
Travelers headed to London during the day on Virgin Atlantic Upper Class are treated to a complete afternoon tea trolley. Making the rounds from seat to seat, flight attendants offer cakes, finger sandwiches, and, of course, scones with jam and clotted cream alongside properly British cups of tea.
British celebrity chef Lorraine Pascale is not only a former model and best-selling cookbook author: She's a consulting chef for Virgin Atlantic with a mission to develop healthy and simple, yet delicious, in-flight meals. Upper Class passengers may order her Thai beef salad with roasted pine nuts and chili dressing, first introduced on the airline's new 787 in late 2014.
A ticket in first class also includes some niceties on the ground. Cathay Pacific's "The Wing" lounge at Hong Kong Airport is already legendary for its Raffles–catered noodle bar, cocktails, and coffee lounge (where all pastries are made with certified French butter), but the newly renovated first class portion has private "cabanas" featuring daybeds and soaking tubs. This may be the only time it's completely worth it to arrive to the airport extra early for your flight. Need more convincing? Hong Kong consistently impresses with its food scene, shopping, big city energy, and dramatic scenery.
To book this deal, visit Gilt City's special Cathay Pacific First Class deal site on November 18 only, starting at 10 a.m. EST. Read the fine print—this deal won't earn frequent flier miles—and the voucher must be redeemed by December 31, 2015. That said, there are no blackout dates, so you're free to buy now and plan your travels later.
Cathay Pacific's first class seat also doubles as a fully flat bed.

Bungee jumping in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh will be one of the bravest and most fun decisions in your life. Climb up to India's highest fixed platform bungee jump, and take a deep breath. Look around at the mountains and the treetops, take in the silence… and then JUMP!
You'll plummet through the air, freefalling from the height of a 22 storey building, while the river below rushes towards you. And then, in slow motion, the thick cord around your ankles bounces you back gently. Once you've caught your breath, you'll be lowered into the river below, into 2 feet of water where you'll be grateful to touch land again.
Cost of bungee jumping in Rishikesh
In India, the best bungee jumping spot is Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. India's highest fixed platform is here, and attracts hundreds of thrill-seekers every month. You'll plummet through the air, freefalling from a 22-story building, with the river gushing below you. During your entire activity, you'll be supervised by a team of experts from New Zealand. Bungee jumping in Rishikesh will cost you about INR 3500.
If you're not sure about bungee jumping in Rishikesh, or have done it before, you can always choose the other activities arranged here.
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh: Giant Swing
If the thought of bungee jumping in Rishikesh is exciting, wait till you try out the Giant Swing! You'll climb to the bungee/swing platform at a dizzying height of 83 metres or 270 feet. You're going to step over to the edge of the platform, grasp the ropes tight, and fling yourself off! Plummeting down like a stone, you'll be swung like a pendulum, trying to catch your breath! After the swing, you'll be lowered into the drop zone in the river where there is only two feet of water. You can do this with a buddy, to make it double the fun!
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh: The Flying Fox
You're going to climb up to a jump platform that stands tall at 390 feet and get strapped in. Take a deep breath and let gravity pull you forward. And whoooosh! You'll race through the air at 140-160 kms per hour, held by the wires above.
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh: Combo packages
Head to the site for bungee jumping in Rishikesh, and knock two items off your bucket list in one day. If you're up for the challenge, you can choose any combination of two rides or jumps, and go for both on the same day.
Information on bungee jumping
Other bungee jumping locations include Goa, Bangalore, and Delhi as well. In some locations, you'll jump from a crane, while for others, a platform has been built just for the bungee jumping location.
For other bungee jumping information, if you're jumping from lower heights, you can expect much lower costs. Bungee jumping in Rishikesh is probably India's best, and comes with a price tag of INR 3500, but at other bungee jumping places like Bangalore or Pune, you'll pay about INR 400-600 per person.

Giant Swing in Rishikesh
Mon, 1 Jun, 2020
If you think the bungee jump in Rishikesh is crazy, the Giant Swing is double the fun! The jumping process is different, and you get a pendulum swing at the end. This means double the freefall of the bungee, with more speed and the same wild thrill!
You'll climb to the bungee/swing platform at a dizzying height of 83 metres or 270 feet. Look around over the treetops and send up a silent prayer as you're strapped into the harness. Then carefully step over to the edge of the platform, grasp the ropes tight, and fling yourself off! AAAAHHHH!!! All the way down you'll go, plummeting like a stone, while the ground races up towards you. But the ropes hold you safe, and your fall stops, and instead, you'll be swung like a pendulum, trying to catch your breath! After the swing, you'll be lowered into the drop zone in the river where there is only 2 feet of water. From here, you can walk up to the cafeteria to pick up your Dare to Jump certificate.
IMPORTANT: For the Giant Swing, you must be over 12 years of age. Min. weight: 20 kgs. Max weight: 130 kgs.
This ride can be done by 2 persons together. If you want to fly alone, it will cost INR 3000 for a ride.

Through an intentionally-prepared environment, the kids more advantageously absorb the skills they need to be successful in school and in life, specified Govier. This is especially important considering the end of the school year is approaching and most of these children will go to 4K next year.
So, after Christmas break, the teaching trio and their half-dozen aides transformed the playroom for the preschoolers into an intentional play environment that's pretty common across early childhood education.
"Before, all the games and toys were accessible. They were just everywhere," Govier said.
The setup includes nine independent centers: dramatic play, blocks and cars, farm, library and puzzles, tools, manipulatives, art, Legos and a sensory table.
There are three morning sections and two afternoon sections of 3K/early childhood classes at B.A. Kennedy. During an assigned time every school day, each group of students gets 30 minutes in the playroom, and every child can choose two different centers they wish to play for 15 minutes of that time. To do so, they take a tiny picture of themselves from a folder and place it at the two centers they've picked.
"Once a center has two or three kids (depending on the station), the others know they can't go there," Govier said.
At the end of their 15 minutes at one center, the children who've played there are responsible for cleaning up the space before they're dismissed to the next center. There's a picture in each play area of how it looks when it's tidy; this helps demonstrate to the children how it should look when they're done there.
"They're picking toys they can relate to," White shared.
They all agreed that the significance of this playroom method is that it creates basic life skill learning opportunities in terms of sharing, taking turns, following directions and more.
For example, in the dramatic play area, students can dress up and play in a kitchen. They can role play and either model for their peers or learn from a classmate themselves. Also, at the new sensory table, the children can be real hands-on. They get to shred paper and feel a variety of fillers between their fingers, such as sand, noodles, corn, hay/straw, dirt and even soapy water.
"Just that exposure is so important," White said.

Cockburn Donald Trump Politics US Politics
The Beeb vs The Donald
The BBC brings up President Trump's women problems.
While tens of thousands of demonstrators are expected in central London to protest Donald Trump's visit this week, the BBC too is laying out its own welcome mat. Its most important current affairs programme, Panorama, tonight broadcasts a film titled 'Trump: Is the President a Sex Pest?' The Panorama website says: "Donald Trump has been accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour by more than 20 women, but he has dismissed them all as liars. Now one of those women is suing him for defamation. An American court will have to decide what really happened and whether the President of the United States is a sexual predator."
Trump doesn't care much about protesters. As Freddy Gray argues, he probably delights in this kind of bien pensant virtue signalling. "So why play into his notoriously small hands?" On the other, small hand, he is said to be extremely thin skinned about media coverage. The President doesn't like Aunty any more than he likes CNN. The BBC? "Another beauty," he once said at a news conference. And despite his skirt-chasing-couldn't-give-a-damn image, Trump has always gone to great lengths to cover up his sexual indiscretions. His personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was used to pay off and shut up a long line of models, porn stars, party girls, reality TV show contestants, and others. Some of these women accuse him of forcible kissing, groping, or other sexual assault. As Panorama says, the count of women making these claims is up to 20, so far.
There are also claims of abortions. A forthcoming book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, by the Republican political consultant Rick Wilson, quotes a close friend of Trump's. "The last conversation Trump ever has with one of his girls is when she calls and says, 'Don, I'm late.' Or when he gets bored with her. At that point, Cohen and his people take over. NDA, payout, go away. It's all in Cohen's office. He can't have that come out." A significant part of Trump's support comes from evangelicals, who so far have been turning the other cheek to a series of "bimbo eruptions" that began before the election. Whether they can ignore abortions and sexual assault – if proven – is another matter.
Meanwhile, the British government is desperately hoping that Trump will play Special Relationship nice in the coming days. None of this will be helped by the protests, or by mention of what President Pussygrabber may have done with assorted women, willing or unwilling.


Albuquerque's KRQE, just gave us a new look at the Batman v Superman set in the New Mexico desert. It definitely looked like a busy place! Check out the video and read the transcript of the report.
The TV station also checked out some of the Deming restaurants where the cast and crew have dined. One of them shared a new pic with Henry from last week. He also made the front page of the local paper for his choice of Mexican food (love it!).
Batman v Superman is headed for a wrap, so stay tuned for the very latest out of New Mexico!

Quick questions is there a limit on the number of students that can enroll for a course. For example can i have like 1000 students in a course?
No, there is not really a limit to the number of students that you can have in a Canvas course. There are speed issues with the Grade Book as the course grows, but there is no limit.

The following are notes taken from the Real Truth Call which took place on June 6, 2017. Fisher came on the call and gave his intel report and also read a report given to him by Tank. You can listen to the full call at this link here. You can also visit the Real Truth Call website at https://www.realtruthuniverse.com . I have edited and put together the intel portion of the call and can be listened to at https://youtu.be/mjBu2uk0Blo.
Yesterday morning (Monday June 5th, 2017) Wells Fargo had a state/union wide conference call. All staffers on the call were told that the RV is in progress. They were told about all the 5 currencies in the first basket and to expect the RV in about 4 - 6 days (Friday, June 9th - Sunday, June 11th). The ZIM currency hit its "goal rate" on the higher tier trading platforms and is now no longer being traded. Tier 2 and Tier 3 currencies are being exchanged, "without a doubt" says Fisher. Fisher says that these higher tiers are liquid meaning they have spendable money after their currency exchange has taken place. The banking institutions and cabal families being audited which were discussed by Tank in previous intel updates have been completed as of Monday June 5th. Those who were audited and did not pass are no longer eligible to participate in the GCR/RV which will prevent cabal members from exchanging along with the public.
Fisher says that one of the higher Tier church groups have already exchanged their currency and have signed strict NDAs. Fisher says that this church group also received prosperity funds of $1 million dollars each associated with NESARA in addition to their currency exchange.
140 cabal members/politicians have been detained and been placed under some type of amnesty program with ankle monitoring bracelets. Some were given the option to resign and given immunity packages.
The whole process was triggered today at 5:30 est. All funds have been returned to the core accounts, which are the Tier 1 groups like the Admiral's Group.
HSBC bank will remove administrative hold after the Farmer's Claims are settled. The Farmers Claims are tied in with NESARA and Prosperity Programs.

Site of the former Benedictine monastery of S Silvestro in the Lombard kingdom outside Modena. With Monte Cassino, it was one of the most important monastic centres of medieval Italy.
Nonantola was founded about 752 by St Anselm of Nonantola, formerly Duke of Friuli, and endowed by Aistulf, King of the Lombards (reigned 749–56). In 753 the oratory and altar were consecrated to SS Peter and Paul by Sergius, Archbishop of Ravenna, and shortly afterwards Anselm was appointed the first abbot by Pope Stephen II. In 756 the relics of Pope Sylvester I (reigned 314–35) were transferred from Rome to Nonantola, and the abbey received its present dedication.
Anselm spent the period from 760/61 to 773, during the reign of Desiderius, Aistulf's successor, in exile at Monte Cassino. In 774 he returned with a number of manuscripts which formed the nucleus of the important medieval library at Nonantola. Anselm died in 803 and was buried in the church; he was succeeded by a number of Lombard abbots with Germanic names. In 885 the body of Pope Adrian III (reigned 884–5) was buried at the abbey. After a major fire, a reconstruction of the church of S Silvestro was begun in ...

ASD Students Reach Out to Deaf School in Puerto Rico
Middle school students at ASD in West Hartford videoconference with deaf students in Puerto Rico. Submitted photo
Middle school students from the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford have forged a relationship with a school for the deaf in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Middle school students from Puerto Rico communicate with student at ASD in West Hartford through videoconferencing. Submitted photo
In November 2017, ASD middle school students decided to do a project to help Puerto Rico.
Students at the West Hartford school were very aware of the horrendous situation the island was confronting after Hurricane Maria. Since there are many Puerto Rican families who have students at ASD, the school felt impacted, too.
The students and the teachers started brainstorming about things they can do for this project, they came up with the idea of making trail mix bags, and the money they obtained from the sales would be sent to Puerto Rico.
Middle school students and teachers contacted Angel Rubinan, a psychologist at ASD, who was born and raised in San Juan, about who the best contact for them would be in Puerto Rico once they completed their fundraiser. He thought that it would be a wonderful idea to send the proceeds to Colegio San Gabriel, the Deaf School in San Juan, where he used to work.
Last week, the students at Colegio San Gabriel contacted the ASD students by videophone to personally thank them for their donation. The ASD students introduced themselves and asked questions about how the island is doing, how are they recovering, and what are they using the money for.
Students from Puerto Rico expressed the devastation of the island and how their school is still without power! They were using a generator to communicate.
They described how scary it was to be awakened by the storm – their homes were shaking, and still many people continue to suffer. Despite the devastation, the students were still in great spirits and were most interested to know what the weather was like in New England since many of them have never seen snow.
It was determined that both schools would continue exchanging more video calls so they can keep each other updated on how things are going in Puerto Rico.
American School for the Deaf students look forward to learning more about their new "video" pals! ASD feels fortunate to have the technology to keep students informed globally.

Q: $\det(A+I)=1+\text{tr}(A)$, if $\text{rank}(A)=1$ proof? This was the starred problem in our linear algebra class.
So I understand that if a $k$-by-$k$ matrix has rank $1$, it means that all rows are linearly dependant on lets say the first one. So if I have a matrix, I can write it as:
$$
\begin{pmatrix}
a_1 & c_1*a_1 & c_2*a_1 & \cdots& c_k*a_1 \\
a_2 & c_1*a_2 & c_2*a_2 & \cdots & c_k*a_2 \\
a_3 & c_1*a_3 & c_2*a_3 & \cdots & c_k*a_3 \\
\vdots& \vdots& \vdots& \ddots  & \vdots\\
a_k & c_1*a_k & c_2*a_k & \cdots& c_k*a_k \\
\end{pmatrix}
$$
So if I write A+I:
$$
\begin{pmatrix}
a_1+1 & c_1*a_1 & c_2*a_1 & \cdots& c_k*a_1 \\
a_2 & c_1*a_2+1 & c_2*a_2 & \cdots & c_k*a_2 \\
a_3 & c_1*a_3 & c_2*a_3+1 & \cdots & c_k*a_3 \\
\vdots& \vdots& \vdots& \ddots  & \vdots\\
a_k & c_1*a_k & c_2*a_k & \cdots& c_k*a_k+1 \\
\end{pmatrix}
$$
And $\det(A+I)=a_1+1$, since I can subtract $c_n$ ($n=1,2,3,\dots k$) times the first column from all the other columns and I am left with a upper triangular matrix.
So I would get $a_1+1=1+\text{tr}(A)$ and $a_1=\text{tr}(A)$, but this can't be right? I can't figure out where I am going wrong. Any help?
Of course I read the other one, but fine, no help from here.


Gah this week has not been good, I've had two presentations (which did not go well) and today I have had some mega trouble with my dissertation results!! I can't even see myself handing in this monstrosity!
On a brighter note I received my creepers and floral leggings from Ebay this week, which I am wearing in the photos above!
Hope everyone has a good weekend, mine will be spent in the library trying to finish this dissertation!
I have really simliar leggings from River Island - love how you've styled them!
Love this outfit on you! You have very unique style! I follow you now! Would you like to follow me back?

A Community Health Transformation in Rural Kenya
Posted By: admin 914 Views 0 Comment Antenatal Care (ANC), Community Health, Kenya, LMG for Midwifery Managers, Maternal Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH)
Nestled in the lush, terraced rolling hills of Nunguni, Kenya, Kilungu sub-County Hospital is a small 14-bed facility devoted to delivering high quality maternal, neonatal, and child health services to rural areas of Makueni County. Victor Omido (right) was stationed at Kilungu by the Kenyan Ministry of Health (MOH) and has been serving as a midwife at the facility for two years. In May 2014, he was selected by the MOH to participate in the pilot delivery of the LMG for Midwifery Managers Course, developed jointly by Management Sciences for Health and Amref Health Africa under the USAID-funded Leadership, Management & Governance Project.
During the course, Victor and 9 other Kenyan participants learned critical leadership, management, and governance (L+M+G) skills like resource mobilization, stakeholder engagement, monitoring and evaluation, and mentorship, among others. They each then utilized these skills to implement a six-month action plan, composed of innovative and locally tailored health solutions aimed at addressing a clinical workplace challenge and measuring health service results. Victor chose to address a challenge that many rural health facilities have been hoping to overcome – few women choosing to deliver with skilled birth attendants (SBA) in a safe setting.
By looking at key health indicators in his community, scanning his environment, and working with stakeholders, Victor selected priority actions to reach his desired results. He came to understand that pregnant women were often delivering at home due to community distrust of midwifery and the clinic. He noted that many cultures had misconceptions about the type of equipment that was used and what services were ultimately performed during labor and delivery.

Thinking creatively with his team, Victor focused on developing community outreaches to ease their concerns and emphasize the importance of SBA deliveries. At the beginning of his project, which included his team's implementation of community outreach strategies at the local market, Kilungu only delivered 34 infants with SBAs per month. By the end of six months, this number had increased by 91% to 65 deliveries per month. Using skills learned in the LMG for Midwifery Managers course, he was able to demonstrate to his community the importance of SBA deliveries. But Victor's institutionalization of L+M+G practices did not stop with the conclusion of the course.
A Hospital Transformed by Leadership, Management & Governance Skills
L+M+G strategies have dramatically changed the way health services are delivered at Kilungu. Witnessing the dramatic results from his LMG action plan, Victor chose to continue using his new leadership skills in his workplace to address new challenges. After honing his mentorship skills in the LMG course, Victor noted that health workers from rural facilities in his sub-county often lack the practical on-the-job experience that working in a larger health facility offers. As a result, he decided to implement a two-week regional mentorship program, in which one health center worker per 26 rural health facilities visits Kilungu to receive on-the-job training in community outreach and various RH/FP services.
Last month, 17 health workers attended this training, which focused on long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). Supervisory visits to the various rural health facilities are now conducted to ensure the sustainability of service delivery improvements. All of this could not be done without Victor's astute resource mobilization skills, which prompted him to write a successful funding proposal for the program to the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). CHAI was impressed by this program's initial success, and agreed to fund another initiative, Monthly Contraceptive Days. This outreach involves scheduled visits to rural health facilities to deliver integrated cervical cancer screening, antenatal care (ANC), and family planning services to 60-90 clients from hard to reach populations.

In the months since Victor's LMG training, he has identified, planned, and implemented a myriad of other new initiatives and programs that have demonstrated organizational and clinical results at Kilungu. It is clear that his ability to proactively scan his environment for challenges, engage the appropriate stakeholders for input, plan collaboratively with his team, and monitor and evaluate success has proved to be an invaluable asset to Kilungu.
Looking Forward: Hospital Expansion & Regional Influence
All of this hard work has not gone unnoticed. By utilizing new L+M+G skills to solve workplace challenges with his team, Victor has become a recognized leader in his workplace. As a direct result of his LMG training and dedication to these new initiatives, Victor has been promoted to Reproductive Health Coordinator of the entire sub-county. Additionally, in an effort to provide space for Kilungu's increased client load and to expand services (including cesarean section) for these clients, the Makueni County Government has decided to fund and construct three brand new facilities at Kilungu. The grand opening will be in the coming months and will be open to the community. Thanks to Victor's vision and dedication to utilizing L+M+G skills to solving workplace challenges, Kilungu's future is bright.
