Tiny babies get expert care in semi-sized ambulance
ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) - Whether it's an accident, illness, or an extremely premature baby, getting a child to the hospital with the right kind of support can make the difference between life or death.
Technology, time, and a new semi-sized ambulance are giving the tiniest of babies a better chance of survival.
Packed inside a semi-tractor trailer sized emergency vehicle is lifesaving equipment.
"Having an ambulance this big allows us to have all of the equipment we need all the way up from a newborn all the way up to someone who's 21-year-old," E.M.T. Trevor Miller-Evans says. "It gives us the ability to bring a fully mobile ICU with us to these other outlying facilities."
Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital got the custom designed Lifeline-5 five unit in January 2016.
The unit has enough seating for parents with special 5-point seat belts to improve safety.
"We have a little window there that family members can look through and on the side of the wall here we actually have a phone that they can contact each other," he explains.
Another feature is the imported flooring. It's made to dampen vibration and sound to protect the delicate brains of newborns.
When seconds count, instead of hitting the road, there is also a quicker option: A fully equipped helicopter.
Along with the stretcher, there is a compact ventilator and enough equipment to care for children in need.
"Literally we can take all the advanced practice that you find in an ICU, anything short of surgery, and we can do it here," says Julie Bacon, who serves as program manager and chief flight nurse.
She says this almost $200,000 isolette incubator converts the helicopter into a flying neonatal intensive care unit.
"We are able to give babies gases, medical gases, other than oxygen that will open up their lungs, we are able to cool a baby down in transport that will protect its brain for later own, we are able to breathe for them so rapidly 6-7-8 hundred times a minute with a very special ventilator," Bacon explains.
Of the 1,400 transports they make per year, about one third are in the air. Bacon says the choice depends on the child's condition, time, and traffic.
"We don't use mileage. It's a big difference when you go from St. Petersburg to Tampa at four in the morning or four in the afternoon."
These options and advances help make Bacon's 20-year career even more rewarding,
"You're changing every day the lives of family and there's no better job than that," Bacon said.

The Spirit Whistle is not technically an ocarina, but rather an innovative beat whistle. The harmonies you create are profoundly stimulating, and feels like having your brain massaged. All of this from a ceramic quadruple-chamber whistle. The Spirit Whistle cuts through the humdrum of everyday life, giving you a tool to explore realms of sound once the province of mystics and magii.
The instrument uses two elongated holes for sliding through the frequency range. This range is limited to the bandwidth of beat frequencies such that the two individual notes are always close enough in frequency and the difference between the two is low enough to create a "beat frequency," through which the most profound sonoric effect can be felt.
Based on an ancient Amazonian design, developed by the Incas of pre-Columbian Peru, the Spirit Whistle harnesses the power of beat phenomena, sympathetic vibration, harmonics, and overtones. Some reported benefits include: mental clarity, a boost in meditation, blissful sensations in the brain, like having soda water sprayed inside your skull, and a sense of the energetic architecture that surrounds us. The Spirit Whistle will bring you to the cutting edge of sound exploration.
Long ago we lived in harmony with nature and with each other.
We developed tools and instruments to help us communicate, and travel to the outer and inner reaches of space.
When we fell out of harmony, instruments of war ravaged the land and threatened our very survival.
A young musician, inspired by a songbird's melody, has just rekindled an ancient elemental technology.
Sound currents supercharge the imagination, and reveal the multidimensional splendor of the universe.
A Star Key has unlocked our divine potential, as we inhabit the sublime architecture of the soul's celestial birthright.
NOTE: The Spirit Whistle produces high frequency tones. If the sound may cause you, your pets, friends or family any discomfort, please choose another instrument. This is a very powerful instrument and permission should be obtained from potential listeners. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS.

Ben Nicholson (1894–1982)
Ben Nicholson: Artist (1894-1982)
Ben Nicholson by Humphrey Spender
I have been excited that on of Britain's most important 20th painters Ben Nicholson has got a retrospective exhibition. "A Continuous Line" has opened earlier this month at the Tate St. Ives - a gallery I love. The exhibition continues until the first week of May and offers an excellent opportunity to develop ones knowledge and ideas about the enormously influential St. Ives artists. Take a drive into the surrounding countryside afterwards to discover what influenced the abstract landscapes.
Ben Nicholson was born in 1894, in Eight Bells, Denham, Buckinghamshire, England. Ben Nicholson's father was the artist William Nicholson, and his mother was the Scottish painter Mabel Pryde. He studied, for a short time, at the Slade School 1910-11. His first solo show was held at the Adelphi Gallery in London in 1922. Nicholson spent several years in Cumbria with his first wife, the painter Winifred Nicholson. The couple bought in 1923 Banks Head, a 17th-century farmhouse built over a mile castle on Hadrian's Wall. In 1939 he moved to Cornwall:
"Despite the geographical distance between Cornwall and Cumberland, both locations shared certain characteristics that were attractive to Nicholson at this time, to his taste and disposition and to the development of his painting...Both possessed a distinct quality of remoteness, an important sense of distance, far from the excessively cultivated and commercial metropolitan centre and from the predictably picturesque 'guidebook' imagery of the countryside popular in the years following the end of the Great War." (Ysanne Holt catalogue essay 2008)
Ben Nicholson: Coldfell (1922). Painted during his time in Cumbria with Winifred
From the early 1930s his work became increasingly abstract, geometrical and austere. In 1937 he was editor of Circle An International Survey of Constructivist Art. From 1939 to 1958 lived in Cornwall. In 1939, shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Nicholson and his family moved from London to St. Ives where they stayed initially with Adrian Stokes in Little Park Owles in Carbis Bay. Nicholson became a mentor and advocate for many of the younger artists living in the area, particularly Peter Lanyon, Terry Frost and John Wells. In 1943 he joined the St. Ives Society of Artists. He left it to found the Penwith Society in 1949, with Herbert Read as president.
Ben Nicholson & Barbara Hepworth
It wasn't until the 1950s that Nicholson won international attention. In 1952 he took first prize at the Carnegie International Art Exhibition in Pittsburgh. In 1954 he won the Ulissi Prize at the Venice Biennale. The next year he won the Governor of Tokyo's Award and was honored by the Belgian Art Critics in Paris. In 1956 he won the Guggenheim International Award.
In 1968 he received the British Order of Merit (OM).
Nicholson was married three times: firstly to Winnifred Roberts (married 5 November 1920 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church, London; divorced 1938) with whom he had two children, a daughter Kate in July 1929 (who later became an artist herself) and a son Andrew in September 1931. His second marriage was to fellow artist Barbara Hepworth (married 17 November 1938 at Hampstead Register Office; divorced 1951) with whom he had a son Simon in 1934 and third to Felicitas Vogler, a German photographer (married July 1957; divorced 1977).
Nicholson Painted Relief: Scottish National Gallery
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art owns a fine collection of paintings and prints by Ben Nicholson (1894-1982), one of the leading British artists of the twentieth century. That collection has now improved and expanded dramatically, thanks to an extraordinary bequest made by Felicitas Vogler, Nicholson's third wife. Vogler was a celebrated photographer, holding a major exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in 2006. Following her death later that year, she left the Gallery a superb collection of Nicholson's work, including ten paintings and carved reliefs and twenty prints and drawings. These works now join the works already belonging to the Gallery to form an outstanding collection of Nicholson's art, ranging from the early 1920s to the 1980s. The whole collection is on show in this new display, occupying the top floor of the Dean Gallery.

Ben Nicholson Retrospective Exhibition Tour
Abbot Hall is the opening venue of the first major exhibition of Ben Nicholson in the UK for over fourteen years. Curated by Chris Stephens, Head of Displays at Tate Britain and a leading expert on the art of St Ives from the 1940s-60s, the show focuses on the artist's years in Britain from 1922 to 1958. This new exhibition highlights those periods that earlier exhibitions have marginalised and reveals a view of Ben Nicholson quite different from the established one.
The exhibition looks at the landscapes of the 1920s, including works painted in Cumberland where he lived with his first wife, Winifred. It includes his time in St Ives, Cornwall during World War II, when his abstract and landscape works became central to the establishment of the modernist art community, alongside his second wife, the sculptor Barbara Hepworth. The final section of the show focuses on the Cubist still-lifes made by Nicholson between 1945 and 1958.
Nicholson: Still Life 1945 in the Continuous Line Exhibition
This project has evolved through a unique collaboration between Abbot Hall, De La Warr Pavillion ,Tate St Ives and draws on the Tate collection and the Ben Nicholson archive, as well as loans from major public institutions in the UK. Many of Nicholson's finest works are still in private collections, and a number of these rarely seen pieces are included. There will not be a London venue. One of the central ideas behind the project is to link the works to be shown in a different context where each of the venues has a particular relevance.

Buying Titian for the Nation: Diana and Actaeon
Tracey Emin delivers a petition to save Titian masterpieces for the nation
The sale of Diana and Actaeon by Titian for £50 million is being negotiated with the Duke of Sutherland Here the painting is at the National Gallery in London being shown for 4 weeks as a part of the fund raising exercise. The visit was later extended as it was so successful.
Late August 2008 the Duke of Sutherland declared to the National Gallery of Scotland that he wished to sell Diana and Actaeon as well as another Titian Diana and Callisto at a later date. The Duke of Sutherland was prepared to accept £50 million for each of them. It is likely that they could fetch three times the amount on the open market. now if this sounds like a financial bargain for the nation one must remember that the tax payable on an open market sale would run into tns of millions of pounds.
As argued elsewhere the financial concerns should be set to one side, the key issue here is the dvelopment of cultural citizenship within the nation which requires high quality cultural products and services in order to achive this. Clearly the opportunity to acquire some 'Old Masters' by a canonical painter is extremely rare. The reason the Damien Hirsts can command such high prices is because there is a shortage of older work available for collectors. Any painting like this must be considered as an investment in lots of different ways. It is an investment in education for a start so that spurious argument about spending the money on schools is vitiated.
Having high quality art by canonical artists gnerates long-term wealth creation through tourism as anybody going around the main London galleries could hardly fail to notice. These visitors create a lot of tax as well as create a lot of employment. Nevertheless there are a lot of retrograde attitudes out there with many coming from those who ought to know better:
"Very few people will ever have heard of Titian, many will have thought he was an Italian football player. What is the point of wasting this money in this way?"(Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Mr Davidson, the member for Glasgow South West)
Davidson's comment is both patronising and at the same time a strong indictment of the educational system!
Diana and Actaeon by Titian
The Scottish National Gallery
The Scottish National Gallery Complex
At time of writing it sems that the deal is going through there are just some loose ends to be tied up so fingers crossed! This acquisition can only be of long-term benefit to the nations and their citizens.

JMW Turner: The Blue Rigi
The successful fight for JMW Turner's: The Blue Rigi
http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/turnerrigi/default.shtm
I was very pleased to find out this morning from my email box that JMW Turner's The Blue Rigi has been bought by the Tate Gallery. What gave me special pleasure was that I had bought 6 brushstrokes through the special National Art Fund innovative online campaign.
OK my life as an art collector extends into the virtual rather than the real and aside from interesting issues as to whether I've got some virtual art which is tradeable inside Second Life the fact that people had to be charitable at all in order to ensure that this painting stayed within the UK and available for public contemplation is a serious cultural policy issue. There is no way I would have contributed to a Tracy Emin piece or Damien Hurst piece. Amusing? Yes. Intellectually challenging? Possibly but rarely. Overhyped? Yes. Overvalued? Yes. How can we reasonably compare to Turner arguably the very first modernist painter and one who was up on the latest theories of colur (Goethe) and pereception (developing psychological theories) in his day producing valuable paintings which stand the test of cultural time.
In recent years it has become especially trendy amongst fans of 'New' Labour to spend their time in a typically postmodern way of using culture as an instrument of economic and social policy. Forget 'Art for Art's Sake' they sneer, don't be judgemental about content, let populism rule, what the audience think they want is all right just providing we can make money out of it and we can sit around getting audiences to evaluate their experience for the marketing people. This of course ignores issues of ideology and the construction of dominant cultural discourses.
Instrumentalism & Cultural Policy
Well, taken from this entirely instrumentalist perspective which at a theoretical level appears to subsume Walter Benjamin's notion of removing the auratic aspect of Art with a capital A and turn it into an excuse for commerce; paintings of the quality of Turner's Blue Rigi are fundamental to the success of megapolises such as London and New York. You can hardly hear a native English accent in central London in summer and now increasingly all year around. Students and tourists flock to London because it is a cultural capital of the World. those who have considerable cultural capital and wish to invest more in this go to London and its galleries as well as enjoying the signature architecture which is an iconic must for the contemporary global city fighting for the tourist trade, and in the case of London adding value to attract global financiers to work in London. Great art therefore can be seen as underpinning the attraction of London as a place to live and work. A process which has rather neatly been defined as Brandscaping.
Even from the pitiful perspective of 'anything goes' providing it makes money New Labour should have the made the funds available to keep this 'high added value' sort of art without all sorts of quangos having to chase around for funding which is small fry at the national level. The irony is that City councils elsewhere in the country are beginning to sell of their own smaller art treasures because they can't afford to run their education and social care systems.
The January Warwick podcast by Munira Mirza is a welcome antidote to this sort of thinking. Hopefully it marks the beginnings of a change away to a more balanced view of culture than extreme populist postmodernism. this is not the same as saying that the cultural popular should be ignored. There is an issue of definitions as well as issues of quality.
Taxation & Paying for Art
Why these mainly Northern councils have no money when the Chancellor emphasises 10 years of apparently unbroken economic growth is an interesting question. It is also hard to disagree with the Tories when they rail against the levels of taxation. Even they can justifiably note that poorer people are being hit by the tax system, just funding poorer people still.
At risk of slipping into anecdote most of my monthly outgoings are in the form of taxation. As a couple we spend over £120 per week on petrol. Most of this cost is tax in one form or another. Furthermore as my wife is currently a full-time student in receipt of a government loan she is effectively paying twice for her education as a huge proportion of the loan goes on this fuel every term. On top of that the course is materials and equipment heavy which attracts the regressive 17.5% VAT. At the same time I receive no tax relief and currently must commute a long way to work which is in the underpaid Tertiary education sector. We do not even have parity with school-teachers!
Three months of longish distance commuting shows that many people are in similar position . The key point here is not an individual whinge, it is to emphasise the huge tax burden that ordinary people are paying either to get to work or to get an education. Yet at the same time our cultural citizenship is being eroded. Why on earth should I or anybody else have to respond to begging bowl campaigns to maintain or improve an economically / culturally / socially valuable infrastructure in which content (the Art itself is central). Quite obviously I already do this through the disproportinate tax system. It is a benighted cultural policy framework increasingly based upon narrow accountacy discourse which creates this situation.
It is now the case that that the National Lottery which is a 'voluntary' tax on the very poorest who have had little training in probability theory. The fact that the Government has this at all is shameful. The fact that our culture is dependent upon the wheel of fate rather than a properly funded policy framework is despicable. The fact that a large amount of this extremly dubious tax is now being siphoned away from the cause it is promoted for supporting to the Olympic extravaganza is dihonest and exploitative beyond belief. The plain fact is that almost nobody funding the Olympic games through their gambling will be able to afford a seat in the stadium highlights the point.
As taxpayers we are seemingly paying a lot for 'cultural consultants' and a range of parastites positioning themselves around policy honeypots while a cultural drain continues in line with the general opening up of wealth divides in the era of post-neo-liberal cultural-economic policies. They are the real vultures of culture!
The Olympic Games and the funding of it is a 21st century version of Roman gladitorial contests. Wage slaves are funding the pleasures of the rich. As a crumb they can sample the pleasures second hand through the Mass Media. Of course we can buy into the regeneration argument and I'm sure most of the population in the UK feel that the Millenium Dome bonanza was an excellent way of spending vast amounts of money rather than bulding say twenty art galleries the cost of the one in Wasall and some art to put in it! the citizens of Athens would probably agree as they pass the crumbling and unloved Olympic Stadium built for the last Olympics. Interestingly the tourist population is there for the genuine cultural heritage which seems to show that quality will out!
Cultural Citizenship
It is time that we fought for a system of governance which values and promotes notions of cultural citizenship which should have at its heart the accessibility of canonical cultural works - This opens up a can of worms on canons but that is another debate. This needs to be thought of on a global basis just as any other facet of advanced citizenry should be. I want people from all over the world to be able to experience great art. The nature of individual paintings means that people usually have to travel to it unlike music which is more accessible.
I resent being arm-twisted to pay more for what as a state the UK should pay for anyway and what I consider I have more than paid for through my taxes. If I give money or goods it usually goes to Oxfam or global development campaigns and that is how I prefer to keep it.
When it comes to the arts and culture I would also prefer a wider European cultural policy perspective to be developed. Small accession states such as Lithuania inherited quite a good cultural infrastructure in terms of the numbers of galleries and museums and performance spaces. These countries became impoverished through neo-liberal approaches to the break-up of the Soviet Union. Now they should be having more support to rebuild the good aspects of cultural citizenship which were previously available under Soviet rule. Cultural citizenship and a common cultural sense of 'Europeaness' is more likely to succeed in uniting Europe at the level of the quotidian than highly abstract constitutional structures which have little to do with everyday European citizens. In brief culture is far more valuable than just simple accountancy benchmarks. It is where it is hardest to define that perhaps it becomes most valuable in terms of geist.

Equity & Inclusive Excellence
"I Matter" — Critical Race & Ethnic Studies Student Is a Voice for Students of Color
Linneya Gardner
Communications Associate
Students & Campus •
Senior Andrea Macias epitomizes the type of voices that we need to hear more of on the University of Denver campus. As someone who identifies as Afro Latina, Macias has spent her time at DU encouraging conversations and being a voice for change on campus and around the world.
Macias chose to major in history and minor in critical race and ethnic studies (CRES) and socio-legal studies to learn more about the topics and because she found a community in the spaces that these degrees offered.
"I love history because it shows progression, and I like the context and the perspective that history brings. I've also always wanted to go to law school, which is why I chose socio-legal studies," says Macias. "With everything that happens at DU, especially for students of color like myself, the ethnic studies minor provided that space that we need to delve into our own stories, our own history and to be acknowledged."
Through the CRES minor, Macias made a connection with one of her favorite professors, Elizabeth Escobedo.
"The very first class I took at DU was Immigration and 20th Century America with Professor Escobedo. I was the only freshman in the class, and it was after that class that she chose to be my history advisor and has since been my advisor for my thesis and minors as well," says Macias. "She's incredible. She really takes the time to understand and work with her students, especially those that do come from underrepresented backgrounds, like myself. I would consider her a mentor, not just my advisor, and I don't know if I would even be continuing without her."
Not only has she found community in the classroom, but Macias has also found community through DU's Latine Student Alliance (LSA) and the first multiculturally based Greek organization at DU, the sorority Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority, Inc. (PLC). This non-exclusive, Latina-based sorority was founded in 2006 to help preserve Latina culture. They hold an annual conference, Empowering Women of Tomorrow, which provides free youth leadership workshops on financial aid, applying to college, women's health, art therapy, mental health awareness and more for high school students in Colorado.
Additionally, Macias works as a senior lead organizer for the nonprofit Our Turn Colorado, a group that focuses on educational equity within Denver public schools.
"We just finished our mental health campaign, which will implement a pilot program at DPS to require all staff to take trauma-informed training and to add more mental health professionals within their schools," says Macias. "We want the counselors to reflect the communities they serve, so if the majority of the community at the school is Latinx, then the counselors will reflect that identity as well."
Ultimately, Macias is all about advocating for change in her community. She acknowledges the necessity of learning about ethnic studies and the importance of preserving Latinx culture. Because DU doesn't currently have an ethnic studies department or common core requirement, Macias is lobbying for this change.
"Racism, sexism — all the ism's — aren't genetic, they're taught, and they're learned. By introducing diversity, inclusion and equity when students start college, you're introducing that those are good things," says Macias. "For me, ethnic studies are an acknowledgement that my history, my ancestors, my people, my peers, we matter. Our history and our stories matter."
After she graduates, Macias hopes to join the Alum Service Corps to continue to bring change to her community.
"The Alum Service Corps is for students who have graduated from Jesuit schools to return and teach," says Macias. "I specifically want to go back to my high school, which is 95% Latinx and has a 100% graduation rate, something that you don't normally hear of in the Latinx community. So, I know that they do good work and impact the community, and I want to continue to advocate for them."
Although Macias is a fierce advocate for social justice, it can be a frustrating and difficult process.
"I don't think people fully understand the mental and emotional toll that students of color experience," says Macias. "It just hurts because my life should matter too. It shouldn't just matter for a picture, but my existence as a person, as a student, my history and my safety should matter too."

2012-05-30 WikiLeaks News Update: Supreme Court split, orders extradition of Assange, then re-opens case
WikiLeaks has been financially blockaded without process for 543 days.
Julian Assange has been detained without charge for 540 days.
Bradley Manning has been imprisoned without trial for 737 days.
A secret Grand Jury has been active in the U.S. without transparency for 623 days.
WikiLeaks News:
WikiLeaks now has over 1.5 million followers on Twitter.
Rap News has released a new episode which focuses on WikiLeaks, Julian Assange's extradition case, and Bradley Manning's court martial. WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson appears as a special guest. Watch the episode below.
WikiLeaks faced DDoS attacks early Tuesday morning, beginning at 3AM GMT. They have since installed more capacity.
U.S. authorities have detained and interrogated multiple European citizens in relation to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. Jérémie Zimmermann was stopped by self-identified FBI agents shortly after being interviewed for "The World Tomorrow." Smari McCarthy was detained at a U.S. airport and followed by U.S. officials, who asked that he become an informer.
Between the NDAA lawsuit and the Bradley Manning case, the U.S. Government can't seem to decide whether WikiLeaks' actions amounted to aiding Al-Qaeda or not.
Julian Assange News:
Today the UK Supreme Court handed down the verdict in Julian Assange's case, ruling 5-2 in favor of his extradition. Dinah Rose QC, of Mr Assange's legal team, asked for a 14-day period to enter a submission based on the ruling having been on a point not discussed during the February hearing. The court accepted her request, and Julian Assange's extradition is stayed until then, despite MSM reporting his imminent extradition. This is nearly unprecedented and gives the potential for the case to be reopened at a later date.
For more information on the ruling see the full judgment and the Supreme Court's further statement. Fair Trials International has also issued a statement on the ruling.
Geoffrey Robertson QC was on ABC 7.30 discussing the verdict of Julian Assange's extradition case. Watch the interview below.
Glenn Greenwald was on Democracy Now! discussing the verdict of Julian Assange's extradition case. Watch the interview below.
John Pilger was interviewed by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter about the ruling in Julian Assange's extradition case. He discusses the importance of the case, how Mr Assange's human rights have been breached, and the risks if he is extradited.
ABC's The Drum held a special live-coverage of Julian Assange's extradition verdict being handed down. Panelists on the show were Andrew Fowler, Kara Greiner, and Peter Hartcher. WikiLeaks legal adviser Jennifer Robinson was also interviewed, as well as Greens Senator Scott Ludlam. Watch the full segment below.
Australian diplomatic cables reveal that Julian Assange remains the target of a U.S. criminal investigation and the focus of intelligence exchanges between the U.S. and Australia. Greens Senator Scott Ludlam approached Foreign Minister Bob Carr regarding these newly released documents.
Episode 7 of "The World Tomorrow" aired, featuring a panel of five members of the London and New York Occupy momements: David Graeber, Marissa Holmes, Alexa O'Brien, Naomi Colvin, and Aaron Peters. Watch the full episode at RT's website.
Bradley Manning News:
Bradley Manning's defense team has filed a motion that details delays and inconsistencies in the Army's handling of the case, saying they have failed to disclose key evidence that could help Manning's defense.
Bradley Manning's aunt gave an interview with The Guardian in which she discusses Bradley's life in jail, saying he seems to be in good spirits and optimistic about his case.

As you can see a balanced diet, somewhat weighted towards the carbs. Which, if I was running a marathon in a couple of days, may have made a lot of sense, except I wasn't. The sum total of all those carbs, weighed heavily both on conscience and definitely my stomach.
Saturday was planned to be 9km – 10km if I could. The portents weren't good, the temperature had risen quite a bit and the incessant grumbling of my tum, suggested I perhaps wasn't going to be securing any personal bests. Nonetheless it was a beautiful day; I decided to play it safe and run close to home on a small training loop, so if my tum decided to go nuclear, I wasn't far from safety. I chose the boy band playlist, as a gentle and fun option to keep me going with cheesy songs.
Okay, the first kilometre pretty much set the scene for the remainder. Just under 8 minutes a km – and I could tell that every slice of pizza was now taking its toll. Still the first km is always slower, so I just gritted my teeth and got on with it. Down the Slope Of Hope and past the barking balcony house, no surprises today it was very quiet, and then up the Hill That Kills, and here I was quite surprised, although I felt sluggish, I didn't actually have to stop to take a breather.
That gave me some impetus to continue, towards Lovers' Lane, all was quiet and I got more into a running rhythm, at the second km stage, I managed just under 7 minutes a km. Not exactly troubling Mo Farah but an improvement. I pottered around to Mill Lane and made my way back down the Slope of Hope once more, on my second attempt at the hill that kills. She is a demanding hill when you're not quite at your best and I did smile when PJ & Duncan came on with 'Lets Get Ready To Rumble' – I was rumbling very loudly – thank goodness there were no witnesses! As I made my way back up, she was definitely making it known that I needed to do some hill training.
At the top, I was given a welcome fillip when a local dog walker wished me good morning and a happy run. I'd managed to sustain a 7 minutes 15 seconds pace, which is pretty poor for me, but considering last night's indulgence on food, I considered it was reasonable. At the 6km mark, I decided that 7km would be far enough, to allow for what felt like 3kg of carbs being carried in my middle. There is something self fulfilling about thinking you're getting slower and deciding to stop – my final km was just under 8 minutes again. The power of the brain over the legs really showed.
Not my best run, but I was pleased I actually stuck at it and in the end I managed 7.23km, especially as it included some hill work.
A bit of a stodgy seven kilometres, not the nifty nine or terrific ten I had planned, but then to alter the well known adage, no plan ever survives the carbohydrate enemy.

Q: How do I make a circle grow while the screen is being touched (Android)? I'm relatively new to Android and very new to graphics. I can draw a circle on the screen and even drag it around and grow (radius continues to increase) while it's moving, but when I just touch the screen, the circle does not increase in size. I presume this is because of the MotionEvent.
Essentially, what I want to do is have a circle increase in size whenever the screen is touched and move relative to the center of the circle when the user moves his finger, then reset to the original radius when the finger is lifted up. Any advice would be great or if someone knows of a tutorial that covers this that would be great too. Thanks.

A: In your onTouchEvent method, check the type of event using getActionMasked();
int eventType = event.getActionMasked();
if(eventType == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
   growCircle();
else if(eventType == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
  returnCircleToNormal();

A: Well... what you could do is override onDraw() and draw directly to the supplied canvas with canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, src, dst, paint)
Here is an explanation of the arguments:

*

*bitmap is the bitmap you want to use

*src is a Rect variable that allows you to pick what part if the bitmap you want to use... just use null if you want draw the whole bitmap

*dst is another Rect variable that is for where on the canvas you want to draw the bitmap. It will also scale your bitmap up if you set the points of the rectangle up from where they should be.

*Finally, just set paint to null

A: In your ACTION_DOWN method start a thread which increases the radius of your circle every second. in ACTION_UP stop the thread and resize the circle to its original size.

Rhubarb was an Australian rock band formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1996. They are best known for their song "Exerciser", released in 1999.

Biography
Rhubarb were formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1996 by brothers Steve and David Drinkall with their Brazilian cousin Paul Harvey playing bass and Ian Buchanan on drums.

The group were discovered when they won the Triple J Unearthed competition for Brisbane with their song, "Zero", in 1999.  The band's leap to prominence however came with their surprise 1999 hit "Exerciser", which placed at No. 20 on the 1999 Triple J's Hottest 100. Steve often joked that the success of Exerciser was mostly due to the song's short length and Triple J announcers often having to fill 2 minutes before the news was broadcast at a regular interval.  The band's debut album, Kamikaze, released on the band's own independent label Toupee Records, achieved over 15,000 sales. Kamikaze was voted 'Album of the Year' at Queensland's 14th annual Sunnie Awards (1999), and the group also won 'Best New Band of 1999'. Songs from Kamikaze that aired on Triple J included "Zero", "Pennywise" and the title track. Rhubarb played live at The Big Day Out, Offshore, Homebake and the Falls Festival.

Their second album Slow Motion was greeted with critical acclaim in 2002, with radio hits like "Light on Your Shoulder", "New York". A string of national tours followed, where they played alongside bands including The Whitlams, You Am I, Spiderbait, The Cruel Sea, Creed and Killing Heidi. The Australian and The Courier-Mail both listed Slow Motion in their Top 10 Albums For 2002, while Rolling Stone Australia claimed it "totally irresistible".

Completing the Slow Motion period in late 2003 with another successful national tour, Rhubarb went to ground, writing, rehearsing and testing out material live for their third album. With Caleb James once again filling the producer's shoes, Start Again, was created throughout 2004, and released in 2005.

In September 2006 the band announced their break up on their official website, citing that they lacked the "enthusiasm to keep spending our time and money on what is essentially a pretty self-serving venture." They also stated that the members would continue to make music individually.

Rhubarb played their last gig at Brisbane nightclub The Zoo to a sold out audience. Long time touring partners Grand Atlantic  as well as Hunz supported.

Q: How do I get the ID from a selected row in a datagridview? I have a c# program build in Visual Studio 2015 with a datagridview connected to a MySQL database. Everything is working fine. But, when I click on a row it gets selected, now I want to get the ID that row has in my MySQL database to perform another query with it. How do I do this?

A: I guess you should rather fetch the corresponding database key value(s) of the current row than the ID in the grid.
I had a similar problem some time ago. The solution was simply adding the key columns to the data source of the grid and - if required - hide them from view. Afterwards you can use these key values to perform all other kinds of actions (in my case: fetch child information from another table).
Using the ID from within your grid will be of no use.

Dangerous Dogs and Animal Welfare offences
If you are the owner of a dog, or take responsibility for a dog, it is very important to be aware of the law. the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 makes it an offence in itself to possess or breed certain dogs.
However, there are also offences which relate to any dog, irrespective of breed:
Under section 3(1) of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 if a dog is dangerously out of control in any place (including on private property) the owner, or person for the time being in charge of the dog, can be guilty of an offence punishable by up to 6 months imprisonment.
'Dangerously out of control' means there are grounds for reasonable apprehension that the dog will injure any person or assistance dog.
If the dog injures a person while dangerously out of control, this will be a more serious offence, which carries a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment.
In cases which involve an injury, there is a presumption that the court shall make a destruction order, unless it is satisfied that the dog would not constitute a danger to public safety. Even in cases which do not involve an injury, this can be considered as an additional measure.
We appreciate these allegations can be very upsetting for a dog owner, especially where the animal has never displayed any signs of aggression. We will always consider instructing an experienced expert in dog behaviour to challenge the evidence, and to avoid a destruction order being made.
Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to a protected animal or, if being responsible for a protected animal, to permit any unnecessary suffering to be caused to any such animal. This offence relates to domestic pets. Please contact us if you have any questions relating to dangerous dogs or animal welfare, or if you face an investigation or prosecution for these types of offence.

The Violence of Care
Rape Victims, Forensic Nurses, and Sexual Assault Intervention
by Sameena Mulla
Table of Contents Introduction Instructor's Guide
Winner, 2017 Margaret Mead Award presented by the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology
Honorable Mention, 2015 Eileen Basker Memorial Prize presented by the Society for Medical Anthropology
Every year in the U.S., thousands of women and hundreds of men participate in sexual assault forensic examinations. Drawing on four years of participatory research in a Baltimore emergency room, Sameena Mulla reveals the realities of sexual assault response in the forensic age. Taking an approach developed at the intersection of medical and legal anthropology, she analyzes the ways in which nurses work to collect and preserve evidence while addressing the needs of sexual assault victims as patients.
Mulla argues that blending the work of care and forensic investigation into a single intervention shapes how victims of violence understand their own suffering, recovery, and access to justice—in short, what it means to be a "victim". As nurses race the clock to preserve biological evidence, institutional practices, technologies, and even state requirements for documentation undermine the way in which they are able to offer psychological and physical care. Yet most of the evidence they collect never reaches the courtroom and does little to increase the number of guilty verdicts. Mulla illustrates the violence of care with painstaking detail, illuminating why victims continue to experience what many call "secondary rape" during forensic intervention, even as forensic nursing is increasingly professionalized. Revictimization can occur even at the hands of conscientious nurses, simply because they are governed by institutional requirements that shape their practices.
The Violence of Care challenges the uncritical adoption of forensic practice in sexual assault intervention and post-rape care, showing how forensic intervention profoundly impacts the experiences of violence, justice, healing and recovery for victims of rape and sexual assault.

of Forensic Care
Sameena Mulla is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Marquette University (WI).
"The book is a masterful call to reflection and reform. It deserves to be read by scholars in any discipline concerned with institutional responses to sexual violence and how they transform patient-provider encounters in spaces where medicine and law converge." ~Theoretical Criminology
"[A] book that is both personal, critical, profound and at times difficult to read." ~Metapsychology
"Once in a while comes along a book that not only adds a new dimension to existing knowledge of a phenomenon but changes our angle of vision on it. The Violence of Care is such a book. Through the lens of forensic nursing, Sameena Mulla rearranges categories of law, violence, care, kinship, and obligation, shifting our horizon of thought and allowing new aspects of these familiar categories to dawn on us. A stunning achievement." ~Veena Das,Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Anthropology, Johns Hopkins University


When a patient moves through the health care continuum, they can sometimes fall into certain gaps and miss out on services that would otherwise be beneficial. While the system continues to strive for better care coordination centered on the patient, there is one emerging role that can ease transitions and better serve patients — the community health worker (CHW).
A community health worker is not a health care professional, but rather a person that works often in a hospital or doctor's office setting who connects patients with services in their community. Like a social worker, a CHW would help a patient meet their needs, whether it's services like transportation or helping them connect with skilled nursing providers.
This role, which helps coordinate all types of care and services, is beco ming increasingly crucial and in demand. By 2024, employment for CHWs is projected to grow 13%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
With this rise in demand, University of California, Riverside (UCR) Extension is helping lead the way to train more CHWs with a new program. UCR was recently selected to partner with the Riverside County Workforce Development Board to participate in a California initiative that aims to develop the most needed workers, called SlingShot.
UCR's program focuses on the "aspect of closing the loop on the communication" in the health care system," Kasey Wilson, director of business, technology, and health at UCR Extension, told Skilled Nursing News. The five-week course will train participants on different levels of care — including SNFs, home health, assisted living, outpatient services and more — to improve patients' access to care.
The program, while starting out small with just 14 students at a time, could grow; Wilson hopes that it will expand in the future with a Spanish version of the course. In California in particular, there is a growing need for Spanish-speaking help in health care.
Another important role of the CHW is to serve as a confidante and sounding board for patients, which can increase the likelihood that they'll use crucial health care services. CHWs often "rely on relationships and trust more than on clinical expertise," according to the California Association of Health Workers.
Another unique aspect of the program is that UCR will receive employer feedback once students are employed after the course. This gives the institution better insight into whether the training actually applies in the workforce—the aim of the overall SlingShot initiative, Wilson said.
The first class is scheduled to begin on September 25.


Oh, Yay! More Great News for Women! 2017 Edition!
The World Economic Forum has just published its annual Global Gender Gap Report. Published every year since 2006, the report "benchmarks 144 countries on their progress towards gender parity across four thematic dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment."
Of course, we'd like to believe that women are closing the gap--that, all over the world, despite the obstacles they face, women are making progress.
Unfortunately, that is not the case. Last year, assuming "[a]ll things held equal," the global gender gap was projected to close in 83 years. But things did not hold equal--today, "with current trends, the overall global gender gap can be closed in exactly 100 years [emphasis added] across the 106 countries covered since the inception of the Report" (viii).
Let's start with the good news, or at least the sorta good news: "On average, the 144 countries covered in the Report have closed 96% of the gap in health outcomes between women and men." This is the "smallest gap," but the numbers remain unchanged since last year. Still, "the gap is larger than it stood in 2006" (25), when the first Global Gender Gap Report was published.
As for the U.S.? Don't look for them in the "top ten"--that is, the countries which have succeeded in "closing more than 80% of their overall gender gap" (14-15). Those countries? Iceland, Norway, Finland, Rwanda, Sweden, Nicaragua, Slovenia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
Where is the U.S.? It's ranked at 49 among the 144 countries in the global report. --right below Bangladesh and Peru, right above Zimbabwe and Jamaica.
If you want to see the complete list of rankings, look for Table 3 (10-11). And you can see a "country scorecard" by clicking here.

A man suspected of assaulting his mother with a knife in a Santa Ana apartment was taken into custody Wednesday after a three-hour standoff with police, authorities said.
Santa Ana police reported receiving a call at 3 p.m. about an individual attacking his mother with a large knife in the area of 811 S. Fairview St. The man allegedly grabbed her by the throat and placed the knife to her neck.
Authorities said they managed to get the mother out, but the son ran and barricaded himself into a bathroom. Police tried to convince him to come out, during which the man hurled a knife and a laptop toward them, Officer Anthony Bertagna said.
In a tweet at 4:46 p.m., Santa Ana police asked the public to avoid the area. About an hour later, the department said all lanes of Fairview Street from McFadden Avenue to Willits Street were closed.
Bertagna said police dogs were deployed and officers were able to take the suspect into custody shortly after 6 p.m. All lanes reopened soon after.
The Police Department posted images of paramedics taking the suspect into an ambulance.

Farm-to-Fork plan suggests Europe wants sustainable farming. So why do EU politicians ignore the 'green' benefits of GM crops?
There is ongoing disagreement between the popularly elected European Parliament and the executives in the European Commission over approvals of "genetically modified" (GM) crops, which are made with modern molecular genetic engineering techniques. In December, members of the European Parliament objected to authorizations of no fewer than five new GM crops — one soybean and four corn (maize) varieties — developed for food and animal feedstock. These objections follow dozens of others that have been made over the previous five years. (These are the same varieties that are ubiquitous in many other countries, including the United States.) A European Commission spokesperson has suggested that a new approach will be necessary to authorize such "genetically modified organisms," or GMOs, in order to align with the new Farm to Fork Strategy, an agricultural strategy recently embraced by Europe:
We look forward to constructive cooperation with the co-legislators on all these measures, which we believe will enable the achievement of a sustainable food system, including GMOs on which the EU feed sector is presently highly dependent.
The latter part of this quote is, in fact, incomplete: There is extensive reliance of the EU on imports of both food and feed, of which a significant portion is genetically engineered. In 2018, for example, the EU imported about 45 million tons a year of GM crops for food and livestock feed. More specifically, the livestock sector in the EU depends heavily on imports of soy. According to Commission figures, in 2019-2020 the EU imported 16.87 million tonnes of soymeal and 14.17 million tonnes of soybeans, most of which came from countries where GM crops are widely cultivated. For example, 90% originates from four countries in which around 90% of cultivated soybeans are GM.
For a GM crop to enter the EU marketplace (whether for cultivation or to be used in food or feed, or for other purposes), an authorization is required. Applications for authorization are first submitted to a Member State, which forwards them to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In cooperation with Member States' scientific bodies, EFSA assesses possible risks of the variety to human and animal health and the environment. Parliament itself plays no part in the authorization process, but it can oppose or demand rejection of a new GM crop based on any whim, prejudice, or the bleating of NGOs in their constituencies. They have chosen to ignore the sagacious observation of the 18th century Irish statesman and writer Edmund Burke that, in republics,
Your Representative owes you, not only his industry, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
GM crops have been shown repeatedly to pose no unique or systematic risks to human health or the environment. The policies articulated in Farm to Fork suggest a renewed interest by the EU in environmental sustainability but conveniently ignore that that is the essence of what GM crops can bring to the table. Numerous analyses, in particular those of economists Graham Brookes and Peter Barfoot, have demonstrated that the introduction of GM crops lessens the amount of chemical inputs, improves farm yields and farmer incomes, and reduces the need for tillage, thus reducing carbon emissions. The indirect benefits from GM crops include empowering women farmers by removing the drudgery of weeding, and lowering the risk of cancer by lessening crop damage from insect pests whose predation can increase aflatoxin levels. Reducing crop damage in turn reduces food waste. GM crops can also improve farmers' health by lessening the likelihood of pesticide poisoning, and GM biofortified crops can also provide nutritional benefits that are not found in conventional crops, a life-saving innovation for the rural poor in low- to middle-income countries.
The rift between the views of the European Parliament and EU scientific agencies such as the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) shows no signs of healing. Bill Wirtz of the Consumer Choice Center predicts that trying to achieve the goals of the Farm to Fork strategy will have "dire impacts." To address a legacy of environmental degradation, the EU proposes by 2030 to increase organic farming by 25% and reduce pesticide application on farmland by 50%. These plans fail to consider that pesticide use has sharply decreased over the past 50 years and that organic agriculture does not necessarily imply lower carbon emissions; often, the opposite is true.
Wirtz goes on to describe how slack compliance laws across the EU have made food fraud a viable business model. A significant proportion of this fraudulent organic food stems from international imports from countries, such as China, with a history of inferior quality and violation of food standards. However, he observes, increasing the surveillance and enforcement of food imports standards and rejecting those that are fraudulent could jeopardize current food security efforts, as well as the economy of the EU as a whole, given the EU's substantial dependency on food imports.
The Farm to Fork initiative gets support from occasional specious articles in the "scientific" literature. An example is a paper published last December in Nature Communications, "Calculation of external climate costs for food highlights /inadequate pricing of animal products" by German researchers Pieper et al. The paper, which illustrates the hazards of meta-analyses on poorly selected articles, describes the use of life-cycle assessment and meta-analytical tools to determine the external climate-warming costs of animal meat, dairy and plant-based food products, made with conventional versus organic practices. The authors calculate that external greenhouse gas costs are highest for animal-based products, followed by conventional dairy products, and lowest for plant-based products, and they recommend that policy changes be made in order to make currently "distorted" food prices better reflect these environmental "costs." They also claim that organic farming practices have a lower environmental impact than conventional, and for that matter, GM crops. They failed, however, to reference the immense body of work of Matin Qaim, Brookes and Barfoot, and many others, documenting the role that GM crops have played in furthering environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions and pesticide use, while increasing yield and farmers' incomes. The omission of any reference to, or rebuttal of, that exemplary body of work is a flagrant flaw.
The paucity of GM versus organic crop data discussed in the paper is also deceptive. Anyone unfamiliar with the role of GM crops in agriculture would be left with the impression that organic crops are superior in terms of land use, deforestation, pesticide use and other environmental concerns. Yet many difficulties exist, especially, for pest management of organic crops, often resulting in lower yields and reduced product quality.
There is extensive and robust data suggesting that organic farming is not a viable strategy to reduce global GHG emissions. When the effects of land-use change are factored in, organic farming can result in higher global GHG emissions than conventional alternatives — which is even more pronounced if one includes the development and use of new breeding technologies, which are banned in organic farming.
Pieper et al claim — rather grandiosely, it seems to us — that their method of calculating the "true costs of food…could lead to an increase in the welfare of society as a whole by reducing current market imperfections and their resulting negative ecological and social impacts." But that only works if we omit all the data on imported food and feed, turn a blind eye to the welfare of the poor, and disregard the impact of crop pests for which there is no good organic solution.
It is true that animal-based products have costs in terms of greenhouse gas emissions that are not reflected in the price, that plant-based products have varying external climate costs (as have all non-food products that we consume), and that adopting policies that internalizing those costs as much as possible would be the best practice. Conventional farming often has significantly higher yields, especially for food crops (as opposed to hay and silage), than farming with organic practices. The adoption of agroecological practices mandated by Farm-to-Fork policies would greatly reduce agricultural productivity in the EU, and could have devastating consequences for food-insecure Africa. Europe is the major trading partner for many African countries, and European NGOs and government aid organizations exert profound influence over Africa, often actively discouraging the use of superior modern farming approaches and technologies, claiming that adoption of these tools conflicts with the EU's "Green Deal" initiative. Thus, there is a negative ripple effect on developing countries of anti-innovation, anti-technology policies by influential industrialized countries.
Moreover, the EU even now imports much of its food, which as described above, has significant implications for its trading partners and Europe's future food security. The EU seems to have failed to consider that continuing on the Farm to Fork trajectory will require endlessly increasing food imports, increasing food prices and jeopardizing quality. Or maybe they have just chosen to embrace the fad of the moment and kick the can down la rue: Après moi, le déluge.

It was a revolution that would change the world by bringing about the global transition from capitalism to communism in a single generation—or so its supporters believed. Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik Party hoped to carry humanity into a new day of equality, justice, and freedom. Toward this end, they brought down the Russian tsarist government in October 1917 and began a vast political experiment that ended more than 70 years later in a way neither Lenin nor his followers would have ever anticipated. The Bolshevik Revolution not only marked the end of Old Russia, but it also set in motion a chain of events that would create a rivalry between the East and West that defined the second half of the 20th century. In The Bolshevik Revolution, learn about the key players and events of this tumultuous time in Russian history.

San Pedro Pirates F.C host a friendly match against Caye Caulker F.C
Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018
Hoping to prepare for the upcoming season of the Premier League of Belize (PLB), a friendly football match was held on Saturday, December 30th at the Ambergris Stadium in San Pedro Town, between the San Pedro Pirates F.C and Caye Caulker F.C. The match, saw the best of both teams, but at the final whistle, it was a clear 6-0 victory for the home team.
Shortly after 8PM, the match started with both teams giving their best to open the scoreboard. However, the skills of the Pirates was clearly shown on the field, as in the first minutes of the game Jesse Smith scored three goals in a row for the home team. The match continued with both teams striving to net more goals. Pirates Nestor Cerpa then scored two more goals for his team, ending the first half with a 5-0 lead.
Within the first minutes of the second half, Caye Caulker F.C made several close attempts at netting a goal but were unsuccessful. The game continued with crosses and passes. It was until minute 45, that the San Pedro Pirates netted another goal, courtesy of Ian Pou; the long whistle was then blown, with the victory going to the Pirates with a 6-0.
"We are positive about the new season of the PLB, as we have new players and a new manager. I believe this season we are more organized than the previous season. I want to thank the entire community of San Pedro for their continuous support, and hope that it will be the same for the new season of the PLB," said San Pedro Pirates F.C Founder Emeliano Rivero.
The San Pedro Pirates will be playing their first match of the new season of the PLB on Sunday, January 14th, against the Police United Football Club. The game is scheduled to start at 3PM at the Ambergris Stadium in San Pedro Town. All Islanders are invited to come out and support the island team.
