Leadership Response to a Sentinel Event: Respectful, Effective Crisis Management
Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
IHI periodically receives urgent requests from organizations seeking help in the aftermath of a serious organizational event, most often a significant medical error. In responding to such requests, we draw on learning and examples assembled from many courageous organizations over the last 15 years who have respectfully and effectively managed these crises.
In addition to providing direct support to organizations, IHI sought to formalize the collective counsel we are giving. In developing this content area, IHI has assembled several resources:
An IHI white paper, Respectful Management of Serious Clinical Adverse Events (see also the Tools section below)
Two IHI articles:
Planning for a clinical crisis (Healthcare Executive, November 2010)
Planning for a clinical crisis: Next steps (Healthcare Executive, November 2011)
A slide set distillation of our learning from many organizations, as well as from the crises management literature and experts
An IHI Open School online course: Responding to Adverse Events
A collection of materials from organizations describing their journey and learning after tragic events (see the resources below).
Our goals are to:
Encourage and help organizations assemble crisis management plans BEFORE they need to utilize them;
Integrate them in their culture of quality and safety, with a particular focus on patient- and family-centered care and fair and just practice; and
Offer a concise, immediate resource to inform efforts in the absence of an organizational crisis plan and/or culture of quality and safety.
Sample Crisis Management Plans
IHI is grateful to organizations for sharing their crisis management plans, and to the individuals in those organizations who are willing to be contacted, to further our collective learning.
Are you willing to share your organization's crisis management plan? Please email Frank Federico at IHI (ffederico@ihi.org).

The essence of French women's assertive femininity. Worn to seduce, captivate and leave a unique, unforgettable sillage.
A fragrance with a big personality for the initiated, flaunting intriguing and elegant Bergamot and Mandarin accords, enhanced by Ylang-Ylang and contrasting with the potency of a leather accord.
A perfume full of character for the ones who know. Refined accords of Bergamot and Mandarin, exalted by the Ylang-Ylang, intrigue and contrast with the power of a Leather Accord. It effortlessly lifts a classic heart of Jasmine and Violet of timeless style, interpreting the natural French elegance. The White Cedar and the Sandalwood base notes enthrall and master the Muscs with confidence, asserting the independant personality of the fragrance. For determined and insolent French women.
Both sweet and powerful, the Leather note is one of the oldest used in perfumery and played a key role in the sector's success, in particular in the 1920s. It is a blend of warm, smoky scents, subtly reminiscent of the bark of the trees on which the hides were treated. This noble, pluralist material is very much appreciated by connoisseurs who love its unparalleled original, distinguished nature.
Jasmine has been present in southern Asia since the dawn of time. Symbolic of sensuality and femininity, it has a unique, sweet and hypnotic fragrance. The story goes that Kama, the Hindu god of love, fired arrows with sprigs of Jasmine attached at her victims. Another legend tells how, in order to win back Mark Antony, Cleopatra had the sails of her ship soaked with Jasmine essence before setting off to meet him. Today, Jasmine is also grown in Grasse, the capital of perfumery, where exceptional climatic conditions guarantee its quality. To fully preserve their fragrance, the flowers of the "King of Essential Oils" are picked at dawn. Eight thousand flowers are needed to make just one gram of absolute oil, making it one of the most precious ingredients used in perfumery.

Students, faculty donate in Red Cross Blood Drive
By Ryan Albert on April 29, 2017

The school hosted a Red Cross Blood Drive in Chalmers Lounge on Friday.
Students, parents and faculty were able to participate in the blood drive, which was run by American Red Cross staff.
Blood Drive Coordinator Tamara Whit managed the event and briefed students about the process of donating blood before they underwent a brief physical exam given by staff.
Student Alex Bucur '19 donated blood for the second time, with his first time being the school's UCLA blood drive last fall.
"My parents talked about [donating blood] and I was like 'you know what let's just try it' and then it was really cool," Bucur said.
Giving blood took about 15 minutes per donor.
Afterward, the Red Cross provided refreshments in order to revitalize them after their donation.
The Red Cross advised students to not partake in any strenuous activities for 12 hours after giving blood, but reassured student athletes that their body would replace their fluids in 24 hours.
Additionally, volunteers received three hours of community service and free Red Cross giveaways at the event.
Whit said that most schools that their organization visits don't have nearly as many parent volunteers.
"So far I think 50 percent of the donors have been faculty and parents," Whit said near the end of the event.
After the Red Cross collects the blood they bring it to a facility to test, process and ship it to hospitals in need.
According to Whit, donated blood reaches hospitals within five days.
"Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood, and it is important because when you donate a pint of blood you can save three people," Whit said.
Intending to coincide with the blood drive, the school's Red Cross Club sold donuts on the quad to raise money for the organization.
Many donors recommended the experience to friends worried about the process.
"[Donating blood] is really interesting and I encourage people to do it," Bucur said. "People are afraid that it will hurt or something, but it is actually really fun."

New Terrace hospital won't detract from Kitimat services: Northern Health
Every change in services will be an improvement for the region, according to officials
Sam Konnert
Northern Health officials are assuring community members in the Northwest that the new Mills hospital in Terrace won't detract from other current hospital services offered in the region.
"The worry that everyone has that we're somehow going to build this new hospital in Terrace and then we're going to shut down services in outlying communities, it's nothing but a myth," said Ciro Panessa, Northern Health's Chief Operating Officer in the Northwest.
The new $622.6 million Mills Memorial Hospital is set for completion in September 2024, but it will take approximately 18 months afterward for Northern Health to fully move in all that's needed to begin transferring patients from the existing hospital and to admit new ones.
READ MORE: New Terrace hospital officially a 'go'
Every change that will be made will be an improvement, according to Panessa.
For example, the Kitimat maternity ward will still be operational, but the Mills hospital will offer a higher level of maternal-fetal care for newborns. This means complicated births will not have to be relocated to Prince George or Vancouver.
"We'll be in a better position for people to return home sooner than they would have previously," Panessa said. "There's no change anticipated for the maternity services in Kitimat."
The two major changes however that can be expected for Kitimat residents surround orthopedics and critical care.
Currently, there are only orthopedic surgeries in Prince Rupert and Kitimat. When the new hospital is built there will be a recruitment of orthopedic surgeons to increase capacity.
"Right now for orthopedics we've got higher than provincial average wait times," said Panessa. "There's a large number of people in the Northwest who have to travel to either Prince George or, or down south for orthopedic procedures."
Elective orthopedic procedures will still happen in Kitimat along with general surgeries and potentially urology and ear, nose and throat. Some surgeries will be moved to Terrace to clear the backlog.
The new hospital will also have greater critical care capacity, meaning that there will be more complex procedures that previously couldn't be completed in the northwest.
"In terms of the surgical volume, keeping the [operating rooms] open in Kitimat and having surgeries occur out of Kitimat, we don't want to reduce that," Panessa said.

Q: what is the solution to connect socketio with express with "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*" I want to connect with socket.io to a backend that uses express.
the backend is used as api for other functionalities. So, I use some middleware to add headers to express (you could see that in the code).
the problem is that the socketio on the client side gives the following error:
The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'.
but I need to keep the '*' to allow all users from any where to access my api.
var express = require('express'); var server = express();
var app = require('http').Server(server);
var io = require('socket.io')(app);
io.set( "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*" );
require('./controllers/watsonIoT.controller').startWatson(io);

server.use(function(request, response, next) { // configuration of headers
        response.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
        response.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, x-auth");
        response.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET,POST,DELETE,PUT")
        next();
    })

Peak Everything Prophet Downgrades Peak Oil?
Collide-a-ScapeBy Keith KloorApr 17, 2013 7:06 PM
Jeremy Grantham is a fascinating dude. He is a highly successful capitalist who blames capitalism for killing the planet. If you're familiar with this "connoisseur of [market] bubbles," as the New York Timesreferred to him in a profile, it's probably due to his increasingly Malthusian outlook. In 2011, he warned that "accelerated demand" from developing countries was depleting the earth's natural resources. He declared that we "now live in a different, more constrained, world in which prices of raw materials will rise and shortages will be common." This resource depletion (peak everything!), combined with global warming, poses an existential threat to civilization, Grantham argues. Though some of his recent peak claims have been questioned by experts and ridiculed by pundits, his message has deeply resonated with greens, peak oilers, and climate activists. Two years ago, climate blogger Joe Romm wrote of Grantham:
He is one of the few leading financial figures who gets both peak oil and global warming.
Those two concerns competed for our attention during the 2000s. Now it appears that one of them has been downgraded in threat level, even by Grantham, who said this week in a Guardianinterview:
Don't worry about peak oil, worry about peak temperature.
I'm not sure if he was being facetious or just emphasizing climate change as the greater and more immediate threat. In any case, Grantham says a lot of interesting things in that interview, among them his belief that China will ride "to the rescue" with its massive investment in renewable energy technology. The thinking here, I guess, is that a Chinese breakthrough in clean energy will spell the end of fossil fuels and save us from a climate disaster. But even if that comes to pass, what about Grantham's other main bugaboo: resource depletion? After all, as he wrote in his latest quarterly newsletter, there is still capitalism's growth paradigm and the aspirations of the developing world to contend with:
You don't have to be a Ph.D. mathematician to work out that if the average Chinese and Indian were to catch up with (the theoretically moving target of) the average American, then our planet's goose is cooked, along with most other things. Indeed, scientists calculate that if they caught up, we would need at least three planets to be fully sustainable.
Yes, the idea of the average Chinese and Indian sharing the same fruits of the planet as Grantham should give us pause. Can you imagine if everyone in the developing world got three square meals a day, an air conditioner and a flush toilet? After that, they'll be wanting a car and some recreational income to fly to Disney World. And just think how bad things would get if some of these people wanted to live like a wealthy Malthusian:
Grantham leads what he calls "a reasonable fat-cat existence" — 10-year-old Volvo station wagon, 40-year-old 12-foot Boston Whaler, a country place near the ocean.
What if even a tiny, tiny percentage of Indians or Chinese had the carbon footprint of fat-cats? Our planet would be ruined.

HWR: is our region ready to make transit part of our lives?
by Steve Hymon , February 5, 2016
In today's HWR, more on transit ridership and building our future transit system, using GPS to get lost in Iceland and things to read whilst transiting…
How We Roll's Super Bowl prediction: Carolina 45, Denver 10. One quarterback is mobile and has a healthy arm. His team will win and win big. The Panthers, btw, are playing the Rams in Los Angeles next season. The Rams other home opponents are the Cardinals, Seahawks, 49ers (boooo!), Falcons, Bills and Dolphins. They're other "home" game is against the Giants in London.
Things to read about the NFL whilst transiting:
•An unhappy visit to "Super Bowl City" in downtown S.F. Shocker.
•Willie Woods made the most memorable play of Super Bowl I and now he can't remember it, perhaps due to head trauma. My three cents; if the NFL was serious about preventing brain injuries, the Steelers' hit on the Bengals' Giovanni Bernard wouldn't be legal.
•Great interview with former Vikings coach Bud Grant, who at 88 years young wore short sleeves to the coin toss at the Vikings recent playoff game. In subzero temperatures.
•Eighteen of 20 'analysts' at NFL.com pick the Panthers to win Super Bowl 50.

We need to make transit part of our lives (USC Metrans)
There's a lot to digest in this post about ridership on Metro from USC professor Lisa Schweitzer. I encourage everyone to read it. Lisa covers a lot of ground, including interesting ideas about how the FTA can better require development near stations, the need for a good bus network to connect to rail transit, more strategic use of free transit fares to promote ridership and the virtues of trying transit for those not dependent on transit.
And finally, if Angelenos want transit to work, they have to do more than just add a few pennies to their sales taxes and cut ribbons in front of new trains. They have to get on the system and make it a part of their lives. I don't think it's possible that transit can outcompete the car until the auto environment gets really miserable, and LA is a long way from that.
People don't have to give up their cars to make a difference; taking transit a couple times a week, for lunch, to get to work, to go on a weekend outing with the kids—those are small changes that can bring people onto the system. If it is going to be a public system, the public has to be on it. Taking transit is a virtue. It's good for the city. And it's good for public life.
And yeah, it's probably going to take extra time, you'll have to walk a bit, and chances are, you'll associate with people you wouldn't normally. Suck it up and get on the buses and trains if you want better numbers here. It's on Metro, but it's also on all of us, too, to make the system we've been building into what it could be.
I think the personal virtue argument is always interesting and often overlooked. If-you-just-take-transit-once-a-week is something I've heard said by elected officials many times. I think it's a reasonable request, especially in the era of climate change — generally speaking, taking transit rather than driving alone is a way to lower your greenhouse gas emissions.
I suppose the question is what are things that government and transit agencies could do to help persuade people to make that choice?
Let's remember: Dick Cheney was chastised greatly when he said "Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy." I've always been torn about that quote. On the one hand, it's cynical. On the other hand, perhaps it's a reminder that people will conserve if given good products that help them do so.
Lisa's USC colleagues also weigh in on ridership with a variety of opinions:
Sandip Chakrabarti argues that when it comes to building rail, it's all about building the right service in the right place at the right time.
Genevieve Giuliano writes about Metro's ridership numbers and how some economic trends may be impacting it, while also making some observations about rail transit and politics in our county.
James Moore writes that busways are a better alternative and the need for more accountability when it comes to those who make decisions about what transit gets built.
Marlon Boarnet calls for an overhaul in the way that we fund transit and transportation — saying those who pollute more should pay more.
Transit ridership, the obvious and the complex (Frank Gruber)
Long-time transit observer and Santa Monican Frank Gruber provides an overview of stories written lately about ridership. He also debunks the view that buses are as good as trains, pointing out that his rush hour bus ride on the 534 will be significantly quicker when the Expo Line opens to SaMo (in fact, the Expo Line will replace the 534 between SaMo and Culver City).
We sort of made the same point yesterday when looking at KPCC's experiment to see which was quicker between Union Station and the Santa Monica Pier — a bus, a bike or a car. The bike won and the bus came in last at 95 minutes. With some planning ahead of time, a rider should be able to get from Union Station to the Pier in about an hour or so using the Red/Purple Line and the Expo Line.

FWIW, they have these things called travel books and maps that may be worth a glance before traveling to a foreign country.
On the other hand, further proof why one day the apes will rule. Dr. Zaius would never make this kind of mistake.

I think it's correct that people need to ride the system more if it's ever going to truly take off. I recently looked at my trip to work and found a way to do it with a combination of driving and transit that takes a lot less time than 100% transit. I'm going to try to do that once a week. I'd do it more, but it still takes a lot longer than driving in part because the bus frequency is so bad. Yet if we don't ride more, how will it ever get better?
Still, funding and land use are important factors in making transit more convenient as well. We need more walkable urban neighborhoods and more bus funding. Creating a convenient bus system in suburbia is like running uphill because things are so sprawled out.
Realist Analyzer says:
For the issue of making people use transit, good luck. There are just too many places in LA where transit does not serve the needs of the public well. Besides, I bet you most of the politicians, bureaucrats, and even the liberal lobbyists themselves who come up with such an idea don't do it themselves either. They may do it for one day as a publicity stunt, but you know they're not going to give up their own cars forever and give up their entitled bennies like reserved parking spaces, free car washes and taxpayer paid chaffeurs.
For people to really get around LA without the car, we need to re-do city planning all over again. You can't say "ok we built LA for the car, but now we want to use transit" when the city is still made for the car. And that has to be done in all 88 cities in LA County, all with their own municipal codes, zoning laws, and elected officials. And there's the issue with current residents who have their own special interests. Good luck, LA is screwed big time and with political realities and bureaucratic mess aside, this whole thing will take over a generation to resolve.
And as for the recent "race" these bicycle, bus, vs car "races" happen time and time again and is an effective liberal propaganda for the bicycle industry. If they really want to see which one is fast and was a truly an impartial race, they wouldn't leave out the motorcycle which has the agility of the bicycle while having more power and speed, at a fuel efficiency that beats any fossil fuel driven four wheel vehicle out there.
When the Expo Line opens, they need to do a real impartial race, one that includes bicycle, bus, car, the Expo Line, and the motorcycle. Only then it becomes a true test that isn't backed by interest groups or bicycle industry lobbyists.

I'd love to make Transit a part of my life. However, it is just not feasible with my work commute. There are not many options from San Pedro to Huntington Beach/Westminster.
TheRealTransitRider says:
One of the issues is that psychologically not enough people do not feel rewarded by riding. Even if a car is more expensive, or a bike will get them their faster (referencing the recent Union Station Race). People also do not blend the modes they use enough. Yes, people park and ride, but once the lot is full, there is a slim chance they try the next station's lot.
A bike may get you there faster, but the physical exertion has an impact on how people feel when they get to their destination. Hygiene also plays a factor since you's sweat. Metro is a longer ride that usually involves waiting, but many do not use their time in transit wisely. There is also no guarantee that someone will get a seat. Working on an ipad becomes useless, and phone conversations are a faux pas, even when conducting business. The winner becomes the car. Reason being is that it involves almost no physical exertion, and yes, our city is designed for cars. There is also this second destination law if you will. People will tell me, "I don't take transit because I've got Costco after work." or there is that lawyer, doctor, or politician that simply cant fully conduct business by riding the subway. If you're office is in Santa Monica, and you've got a hearing at LAX Courthouse, they'd never take transit there.
There are so many dynamics where people don't, wont, and cant conduct their lives properly to feel that its easy. I wonder if L.A. will ever get to a point where a journalist or actor would take transit like they would in NY (excuse the cliche NY reference please, but its true.)
Majority of riders do it because they have no other option and thats the way they've always got around. You've also got things like license suspensions or disabilities that force people to look at that option because they have to.
Jenni x says:
People don't do things that make them good people. They instead don't do things which make them bad people. So until "driving a car" makes you a "selfish, unevolved person", selfish and unevolved people will continue to drive.

Andrew Sharp says:
British Airways headquarters staff based at Heathrow Airport were told that their car park pass would not be valid for one day every 2 weeks. On that day, they would have to car-share, use transit, work from home or find another alternative.
That cut traffic by 10%.
For one thing, how about if the Gold Line was actually dependable?


Nine times out of ten beliefs often drive actions but when those beliefs persist long enough they can fall out of sync with the broader world and be at odds with reality.
Many business disciplines are held beyond reproach such as revenues are good but costs are bad, give the customer what they want and do not interfere when things are running smoothly. Now it could well be that those beliefs are now well past their sell by date and could even be undermining both profitability and success.
We have all grown up in an age of mass markets where businesses attempt to get more and more volume in order to create lower costs through economies of scale. Today there is an explosion of information, real-time visibility, and different pricing for different products. This results in businesses being faced with mass customisation and globalisation with increasingly complex relationships thrown in for good measure. The whole essence of great management is to create a foundation with the right information, the right priorities and the right processes. After all, It is just a different way of managing and improving performance.


Dyna Pipe electronic water descalers are devices that prevent limescale build-up caused by hard water. Limescale, found in hard water areas, clogs pipes, reduces the efficiency of heating elements and leaves white deposits on tiles, baths and basins. An electronic descaler inhibits the build-up of limescale and is the modern, low cost, eco friendly, salt free alternative to an old-fashion water softener.
For pipe sizes up to 22mm, the Dyna Pipe DSC1 Electronic Water Descaler provides a low cost solution for Limescale Problems caused by hard water.
UK mains adaptor provided as standard.
For larger pipes, up to 28mm, or use in extremely hard water areas, the	Dyna Pipe DSC2 Water Descaler provides maximum protection against limescale.
Electronic Water Descalers belongs to a group of devices known as Physical Water Conditioners and works by applying an electromagnetic field to the water supply via cables wrapped around the pipework. This electric field alters the characteristics of the water so that it acts	like Soft Water whilst retaining essential minerals found in Hard Water. As well as preventing limescale, a water descaler will also remove limescale over time.
A water descaler is easy to fit and costs less than £5 per year to run. Simply wrap the coils around the main water pipe, fix the descaler to the wall, plug in the ac/dc adapter and switch on.
All our products come with a two year guarantee against manufacturing faults.

First-look images revealed for Lee Cronin's horror reboot Evil Dead Rise
01 Nov 2022 : Nathan Griffin
Studiocanal and New Line Cinema has released a first look at Evil Dead Rise, the new installment in the iconic Evil Dead horror franchise, from Irish writer/director Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground).
The latest installment in the iconic horror franchise releases in UK and Irish cinemas on April 21st.
The film looked originally destined for an HBO Max exclusive launch, but news broke in August that the fifth instalment of the cult horror franchise will now premiere exclusively in cinemas. According to Collider, the decision to move it to theatres was made in part because of the trailer's performance during CineEurope. Reports after said that audiences were thrilled with the direction Cronin was taking the franchise.
Written and directed by Lee Cronin, Evil Dead Rise stars Lily Sullivan (I Met a Girl, Barkskins), Alyssa Sutherland (The Mist, Vikings), Morgan Davies (Strom Boy, The End), Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), and introduces Nell Fisher (Northspur).
Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, Evil Dead Rise tells the twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sutherland and Sullivan, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.
Evil Dead Rise is produced by Rob Tapert (Ash vs Evil Dead, Don't Breathe) and executive produced by series creator and horror icon Sam Raimi (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and cult legend and "Ash" himself, Bruce Campbell, along with John Keville, Macdara Kelleher, Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Romel Adam, and Victoria Palmieri.
Cronin is joined behind the camera by director of photography Dave Garbett (Z for Zachariah, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), production designer Nick Bassett (Guns Akimbo, Sweet Tooth), editor Bryan Shaw (Ash vs Evil Dead, Spartacus), and costume designer Sarah Voon (Chasing Great, Inside), with a score by Stephen McKeon (The Hole in the Ground, Primeval).
IFTN previously reported back in July 2020 that Cronin had been tapped by Raimi, Campbell and Tapert following the success of his debut feature, The Hole in The Ground, which made a number of headlines following its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival in 2019. The film's North American distribution rights were then acquired by A24 and DirecTV, as well as securing a host of other international territory sales.
"I'm thrilled to bring Evil Dead back to its original home at New Line 40 years after the release of the first film," creator Sam Raimi (Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness), previously said. "I'm equally excited to be working with Lee Cronin, whose gifts as a storyteller make him the ideal filmmaker to continue the enduring legacy of the franchise."
A New Line Cinema/Renaissance Pictures presentation of a Pacific Renaissance and Wild Atlantic Pictures production, Evil Dead Rise is set to be released in UK and Irish cinemas on April 21st 2023.

The Swiss economy remains in good health. Economic growth is broadly based, and leading indicators point to continuing robust economic expansion in 2008. However, the outlook for 2009 has weakened, owing to the slowdown in the global economy and the appreciation of the Swiss franc. Accordingly, UBS still expects the economy to grow 2.3% in 2008, but has lowered its forecast for 2009 to 1.4%.
In recent months, the Swiss economy appears to have remained almost impervious to the slowdown in the US economy and the turbulence in the international financial markets. Real GDP grew 3.6% year-over-year in Q4 2007. This is the fastest rise since Q3 2000. With full-year growth of 3.1%, 2007 was the fourth year in a row with growth above 2%.
Growth is broadly based and the economic indicators point to continuing robust economic expansion in 2008. The positive trend on the labor market, in particular, generates optimism. The strong increase in employment and rises in real wages should lend further support to private consumption. However, the high export growth of recent years is unlikely to continue. According to UBS Wealth Management Research estimates, the slowdown in the US economy is likely to persist well into 2009. Although only around 10% of exports go to the US, demand from other regions is likely to slow over time due to knock-on effects. Developments in Switzerland's biggest trading partner, the eurozone, are of particular importance. UBS Wealth Management Research expects that economic growth in the eurozone will slow to 1.7% in the current year and 1.2% in 2009. A further consideration is that the rise in risk aversion among investors as a result of the upheavals on the financial market is likely to maintain upward pressure on the Swiss franc in the coming months, which will adversely affect the price competitiveness of Swiss exporters. Finally, the credit crisis and its negative impact on the financial sector should weigh on growth in services exports. As these effects generally take some time to develop their full impact, a sudden drop in export demand is unlikely. However, these adverse effects will gain in importance over time, and will make themselves felt in the export sector in 2009 in particular. While UBS Wealth Management Research still expects the economy to grow 2.3% in 2008, it has therefore lowered its forecast for 2009 from 1.8% to 1.4%.
Consumer prices should also ease in coming months in line with the expected economic slowdown. Much of the recent increase in prices has been due to volatile energy prices. This effect should ease over the course of the year, partly as a result of the expected Swiss franc appreciation. UBS Wealth Management Research accordingly expects inflation to drop to 1.4% in 2009 from the 1.8% forecast for 2008. This would give the Swiss National Bank (SNB) the scope it needs to lower interest rates. UBS Wealth Management Research expects target rates to be cut by 25 basis points in each of the three quarters from September 2008 onwards, which would ease the upward pressure on the franc that followed the sharp interest rate decreases in the US.


Where Steel Tariffs Will Hit Hard—In Your Gas Tank – San Bernardino American News celebtates 50 Years!
President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on imported steel from multiple countries will raise consumer prices for lots of products. And one of them is gasoline.
The fracking boom has allowed energy companies to drill in places that had never been considered viable or profitable. Once production begins, the crude oil and natural gas have to be transported from the well to the refinery, a phase referred to as "midstream." That's where the current challenge begins; there was no energy infrastructure in many of the newly discovered shale oil and gas plays.
A pipeline is the least costly and most efficient way to transport oil and gas to the refinery or to a storage hub. But it takes time and money to build pipelines. In the interim, inland drillers often turn to railcars, while construction crews get to work laying the pipelines. That's one place Trump's tariffs are going to take a toll.
Oil and gas pipelines require a very special kind of steel, most of which is imported because U.S. companies don't make it.
In a report released for the energy industry a year ago ICF, a Virginia-based global consulting firm, took a broad-ranging look at pipeline issues, including the impact of trade restrictions.
According to the report, 77% of the highly specialized steel used in pipelines is imported. And it's not a simple problem to fix because the report claims that domestic manufacturers lack the ability to make the size or quality of steel needed for these pipelines.
For example, the steel needed for 26-inch diameter "line pipe"—the term for the segments of pipe—is only made in three foreign countries.
That steel has to be imported, so there is no option but paying the tariff.
Of course, domestic manufacturers might try to enter the market, but while pipeline steel is important to the energy industry, it's a relatively small part of the steel market. Plus, demand for line pipe can vary significantly from year to year. Thus, it has just been easier and cheaper to import the specialized line pipe companies needed.
ICF estimates that the market value of that imported line pipe was between $3.40 billion and $5.82 billion in 2015-16. Tacking on a 25% tariff for future purchases could raise that figure to between $4.25 billion and $7.27 billion. That additional cost will be passed along, eventually reaching consumers in the form of higher gasoline and electricity prices.
Those figures are based on past usage; but there is a growing need for even more line pipe. The International Energy Agency (IEA) suggests that the United States could provide 80% of the increase in world crude oil production over the next three years. That increase would require a lot more pipeline capacity to get that oil to market — pipeline that would be 25% more expensive under the Trump steel tariffs.
Of course, line pipe is only one component in the process. The oil and gas industry uses steel in many ways. Steel tariffs, and the higher prices paid for domestic steel when tariffs are imposed on foreign steel, will have a widespread impact on energy prices.
The president thinks gasoline prices are too high and is pushing OPEC, the oil producing cartel, to increase crude oil production so that gasoline prices will fall. Good, but imposing steel tariffs will have just the opposite effect, forcing consumers to pay more for electricity and to fill their tanks.

Killing Enemies: Each enemy you kill rewards you xp. You don't get a lot of xp for each kill, but xp is xp.
Accolades:You can also get additional experience for kills by earning accolades. Accolades are little xp bonuses for killing enemies in specific ways: headshots, multikills, etc. There are also accolade bonuses for surviving fights, reviving teammates, and I am sure there are some I have yet to discover. Again, the accolades aren't big xp boosts, but they are xp.
The Shadows of the past achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 55 pointsActivate 63 ECHO scenes.
The Droning on… achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 53 pointsExtract 16 aerial photos from crashed drones.
The Survivalist achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 54 pointsRecover 24 Survival Guide pages.
The Agent Diaries achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 54 pointsExtract 130 phone recordings from phones found in Manhattan.
The The Finder achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 52 pointsRetrieve 20 missing first wave Division agent profiles.
The Incident Reports achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 54 pointsExtract 40 audio incident reports from JTF laptops.
The One Down, Two to Go! achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 42 pointsCompletely upgrade any one wing of the Base of Operations.
The Fixer-Upper achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 43 pointsCompletely upgrade any two wings of the Base of Operations.
The State of the Art achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division worth 73 pointsFully upgrade the Base of Operations.
Side Missions: Side Missions are located in each area of the map. You can find Side Missions by interacting with the JTF Officer in each Safe House. Side Missions award you more xp than Encounters, but still less than Story Missions.
Story Missions: The biggest chunks of xp you can earn in the game come from Story Missions. Story Missions are automatically on your map (except for one) and are marked by large emblems of the wings of your Base of Operations. Though they take longer, each mission will result in earning large amounts of xp, loot, and (a lot of the time) other story related achievements.
Boosting: I wanted to separate this one out from everything else as it takes a little more explaining. You can boost xp by if you are a lower level by playing with friends who are a higher level. I did this with some friends and was able to help them level up very quickly. When I did this, I was level 23 and my friends were level 9. Even though they invited me to their game, the enemies in the game all set to level 20 because of my level. Because of the high level, my friends were earning 1600 xp for every kill I got. Now, my friends weren't able to do much other than hide; but like I said, they were getting large amounts of xp for kills in addition to the normal large amounts of xp for Side Missions and Story Missions.
My experience: When I got level 30 I had completed all Story Missions and had completed all Side Missions and Encounters in all but 3 areas of the map. As far as the collectibles, I wasn't going out of my way to pick them up but if I was close to them then I would grab them.
If you have any questions or comments please let me know. If you're going to downvote, please comment first and give me a chance to improve whatever issue you may have.

Q: How to handle the autorotation in each view controller in ios 8? The scenario is like this:
lets say ViewControllers A, B.
A supports only portrait mode. B supports all modes.
I tap on thumbnail image from A and showing full image in B. So auto-rotation works fine in B. It works fine, If I come back to A from B when B is in portrait mode.
But the problem is if I keep my phone in landscape mode when I was in B then if I come back to A then it is also showing landscape which is not supposed to happen.
I was working totally fine in iOS7 but it is messing up in iOS 8.
Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.

A: Something is wrong with your code. I just implemented it to test and it works fine.
I addded to A:
- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

Added to B:
- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}

and added the button to A to open B:
- (IBAction) buttonAction:(id)sender
{
    UIStoryboard *story = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"itShouldWork" bundle:nil];
    MyViewController *controller = (MyViewController *)[story instantiateInitialViewController];
    UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
    [self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}

As I said, it works fine. tested on iphone 5 device (iOS 8). Built with Xcode 6

A: It appears to be a bug in iOS 8.
As a workaround you can wrap your B controller in UINavigationController. Along with checking for iOS version it would look like
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8")) {
    [self presentViewController:[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controllerB] animated:YES completion:nil];
} else {
    [self presentViewController:controllerB animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Macros for checking iOS version can be found here.

Cash-for-Arms Deal: South Africa Returns $15m To Nigeria
in International News, Recent News
There are indications that Nigeria and South Africa have resolved their differences over the cash-for-arm deal that went awry.
An online medium, Cable News, this morning quoted South African Ambassador to Nigeria, Lulu Louis Mnguni, as saying that the money had been returned to the Nigerian government.
South African authorities had on September 5 seized $9.3 million cash belonging to the Nigerian government and another $5.7 million about two weeks later on the ground that the transfer process was against South African financial law.
But Nigeria's National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, insisted that the transactions were legal.
The issue almost caused a major dispute between both countries as Nigeria moved to sanction South African companies operating in the country.
Indications however emerged that the South African government was willing to return the money after some diplomatic moves early this month.
Confirming the return of the money, Mnguni said: "South Africa's relations with Nigeria comes a long way. So now, this actually will make us much more closer, to see how we can close some of these gaps that result in such accidents."
While also reacting to the Synagogue building collapse and its effect on the relationship between the two countries, Mniguni said both countries had come a long way and the collapse could only make them closer and stronger.
The South African ambassador added that the seizure of the funds by South African government was in no way related to the Synagogue collapse.
"South Africa's relations with Nigeria is priceless, it cannot be sold for $15m,"
"These are two separate incidents, and of course, the issue of money has already been sorted out. Nigeria has been given the money."

Dirty Water
Logline: Fun times during hard times, the jobs we hate to do and everything in between.
Episodes: 30 minutes.
Set in the housing schemes of Glasgow, Dirty Water follows a misfit team of cleaners who work for the worst cleaning service in the country – The Eager Beaver Cleaners.
Jock, Boab, Crawford and Brian delude themselves with the mantra that they're only doing this job until something better comes along which, of course, it never does, trapping them in their respective situations; and how they try to derive some semblance of meaning and purpose through their comradery with one another.
This show is about friends who work and playtogether. It's about sex, love, relationships, careers. It's about searching for love, commitment and security and the fear of love, commitment and security.
Each episode will have it's own standalone story but there are also continuous storylines that will play out through the duration the series;
The company is on it's knees as it struggles to land cleaning contracts and if they don't make improved deals at this years cleaning convention the Eager Beavers will go under. The boss aka The Beaver built the company and was once an emerging prospector in the cleaning industry until her ex boyfriend stole the patent and the glory. A betrayal she has never gotten over, he now owns the most lucrative cleaning company and a big hitter at the cleaning convention every year.
Brian and Rachel (the new local barmaid) will they? Or won't they? Brian is easily lead a stray and although the lads intension (for the most part) are for the best, anytime he follows their advice it has the opposite of the desired effect. Rachel has just moved to Glasgow from her small town, she is searching for many things but just another man is not one of them, she's had enough of the same. Rachel is strong energetic and not phased in anyway of being the only women in a pub full of men, she happens to also be The Beavers niece.
Jock, their titular leader is a smart ass, shunning responsibility at every turn whilst simultaneously always on the lookout for the next harebrained "get rich quick" scheme.
Crawford, the oldest but certainly not the wisest member of the team, is a functioning alcoholic, in the mould of Falstaff, an avid dispenser of nonsensical epigrams and unasked for advice.
Boab hides his struggles with illiteracy and being a carer for his ailing mother behind a carefully cultivated persona of a lady's man.
Brian, the newest member of the team, is a romantic yet pretentious wannabe actor from a well to do family of high achievers, who've disowned him not wanting to endorse his lifestyle choice.
Dirty Water's humouris in the vain of Still Game, not limiting too but targeting a Scottish demographic, channels such as BBC Scotland, STV and streaming services such as Netflix could be the ideal platform. As the potential seasons evolve each person has to contend with the flaw in their character that has held them back from fulfilling their true potential.

The Preserve was created in 1972 from land purchased by the City of Buffalo for a landfill site when concerned citizens recognized the ecological importance of the site and convinced the city legislators to plan for the area's preservation. Today, Tifft Nature Preserve maintains a natural setting. Animals from the entire region take advantage of its ponds, marshes and woodlands. It has become the urban sanctuary many people envisioned more than 20 years ago.
For nearly a century, the Buffalo Museum of Science has been a resource for why. Come explore, discover, wonder, reason, reflect, observe, absorb, realize, dream, and – most important – question. Find why at the Buffalo Museum of Science!


If you are really having a problem with a certain area and can't figure it out for the life of you, one of the best things you can do is take a private lesson with a good instructor. Private lessons are usually much different then classes because you're the only one there and you're getting all of the attention. You have the ability to ask as many questions as you like during that time frame and get a response that is directed towards you alone.
Your instructor or whoever you are taking the private lesson with can closely evaluate your situation and help you solve any problems you may have. Every time I have taken a private lesson I have felt better as soon as it was over. Now that is big.
The biggest difference between a private lesson and a class setting is that in a class setting the instructor has to teach to a general audience and try to satisfy everyone's needs to the best of his/her ability at the same time, while with a private lesson you are the only one in the class so your instructor can specifically help you pin point any problems you may be having.
There is one private that I took with a Jorge Gurgel black belt John Stutzman and that one private alone improved my game dramatically. To this day I still use pretty much every technique that he showed me that was geared specifically to my game. Now I'm not saying this will be the case for everyone, but you definitely can't go wrong with taking a private with a good instructor.
Here are some tips when taking a private session.
Make sure you know what your problem areas are. This will help you prepare specific questions to ask the instructor during the private lesson.
Do not go into a private lesson without having any questions or not knowing what it is you want to improve or add to your game. Not having questions doesn't make the situation better and it makes the session much more difficult for both you and your private lesson instructor. This is because you both then have to waste time trying to figure out what you should learn and the content may not be exactly what you needed because it was very general.
Bring a notebook. This is because you want to make sure that you can remember everything that you learned during your private session so you can drill the movements and strategies in the future and try to implement them during your training sessions.
Take reflection notes after your session.
Did what you learned make sense?
Do you think what you learned will work for you?
Write what your experience was like.
How the instructor was during your lesson, if the instructor was open in letting you ask questions.
Did the lesson help you fix your specific problem area?
Do you think you need to take another lesson to gain more information on your problem area?
By doing this it will help you get the most out of your session. It will help you analyze your game more based on what you learned and will also help you decide on whether you may want to take another lesson with the person in the future again or not.
Finding a partner to drill the concepts you learned for at least 10 to 15 minutes before or after class.
Purposely put yourself in a situation while rolling related to what you learned so you can have the opportunity to drill the concepts in a live situation.
Come into class with the mindset that during open training you are just going to focus on what you learned.
If you have problems with the concepts you learned at your private session during your training you should make sure you ask your instructor or someone else for assistance.
While many private lessons may be expensive in price, they are definitely one of the best ways to enhance your grappling game. All of the focus is on you and you alone and that could make a big difference. If you have the chance to take a private lesson with a good instructor it may be a good idea to do so, especially if you have a problem in your game you can't quite figure out.
Use this worksheet to write down a strategy for your private sessions that you take with your instructor or outside instructors. It will help you develop a plan before you enter the session and also help you analyze the session afterwards, giving you the ability to better utilize what you learned during your private session.

The life that lies below East Park's lake, its dangers - and the swimming wallaby
East Park's manage Howard Flitton reveals life around the popular lake
James Campbell
The boating lake at East Park
It dominates one of Hull's best loved green spaces but how much do you actually know about East Park's lake?
The popular lake has been around since the turn of the 20th century and has been a source of leisure and enjoyment for the people of Hull ever since.
Once full of rowing boats, more recently it has become a popular coarse fishing spot.
But how did the lake come about, what is in there and is it dangerous?
Hull Live spoke to East Park manager Howard Flitton to find out more about what lies beneath the water and what it takes it maintain such a big lake.
History of the lake
East Park in Hull in April 1947
While East Park itself was opened in 1887, the large boating lake came later when Thomas Ferens gifted the land for the building of a 16-acre boating lake in 1913.
The lake was dug out and modelled with clay. It was completed in 1919 but extended further in 1923 and has five islands.
While it began life as a boating lake, more recently it has become a coarse fishing lake.
Where does the water come from and how deep is the lake?
The lake is predominantly fed by rain water but it is also connected to the water supply so it can be topped up during dry periods.
"The depth of the lake varies," Mr Flitton said, "and can reach six feet at its deepest and only around two feet around the edges.
The secrets of Princes Quay's waters have been discovered - and they're not pretty
"The deepest part is around the bridge which was cut out some years ago by army volunteers to provide a channel for boats when the lake was drained. But the lake is pretty large at 31,717sqm."
What is it like underneath and what life can be found there?
Anglers at the boating lake at East Park
The lake is unremarkable in terms of what lies at the bottom. It is full of silt and mud with plenty of water vegetation and weeds.
But the lake also has a thriving animal and fish population.
"The lake was last stocked in 2010 when the council put in 800lb of fish which included roach, perch, carp and tench.
"We also have pike, eels and bream in there. There is a very healthy population and they are breeding well. I saw signs of carp breeding recently which is great to see.
East Park splash pool and boat to get £1.1m upgrade as Hull council signs off funding
"We do have some rather big fish in there too with pike reaching 26lbs and carp weighing in at 32lbs. You could get quite a few portions of chips with that!"
But the lake supports more than just fish and is an important habitat for many species.
"There are a lot of rare aquatic plants which grow round the lake," Mr Flitton said. "It is very important to several bat species and water fowl populations, such as goosander, pochard and tufted duck.
A coot at the boating lake at East Park
"There are also populations of frogs, toads and we have even seen a couple of great crested newts in there too.
"It is really important for biodiversity and creates a green tunnel in the city."
How is the lake maintained?
Park rangers do enter the lake itself to clean but go for the prevention is better than cure approach.
"Our rangers regularly tour the lake using an electrical vehicle to skim the water for any litter or fallen branches before they sink to the bottom," Mr Flitton explains.
"There have been occasions where we have had to drag out bikes and shopping trolleys but it is not usually too bad.
"I think if we drained the lake there would be a few hidden treasures down there, such as rings that have been thrown in but they would be lost to the mud and silt."
The dangers of the lake

Take any large body of water, mix it with large crowds of people and you are going to have risk.
Thankfully, during Mr Flitton's 33 years at the park, there have been no tragedies.
The true story of Hull's 'Tony Werewolf' as told by his loving family
"Being around water always means there is a high risk," he said. "We always carry out risk assessments for staff and visitors.
"The council recently funded 19 new life preserve units dotted around the lake. Rangers also carry their own life line and a knife if they have to cut any rope.
"In my 33 years I have only ever had to rescue one dog but there are other rangers who have had to come to the aid of people.
"The biggest problem is in winter when there is ice and dogs and sometimes people venture out onto it and fall through. Obviously, it is very cold which increases the risk further.
"Some younger people will get a bit boisterous and we have had problems with them jumping from the bridge in the past but we now have signs up warning people not to swim or jump."
Tales from the lake
There are a couple of standout memories for Mr Flitton during his 33 years patrolling East Park's lake.
"Once, before the animal centre opened we had a compound for the wallabies," he said.
"One day someone had decided to cut a hole in the fence and one or two escaped.
Watch: launch of the swan boats at East Park
"One wallaby swam across the lake onto one of the islands. We had to go over and rescue it but it was very difficult as it fought back and kicked us with its powerful legs."
During the time when the lake had lots of boats, one day proved carnage.
"There used to be 33 rowing boats and ten motorboats on the lake," Mr Flitton said.
"One Sunday it ended up like the Battle of Trafalgar.
"Kids used to like to rock the boats and let water in. On this day 13 of the boats sank. I'd never seen anything like it. It took us four hours to drag them all out."
