Once hopping Tornillo, host of the tent city for migrant children, is suddenly almost a ghost town

TORNILLO - Once upon a time, just weeks ago, this place was booming.
"It was like Christmas year-round," said Quinton Williams, a butcher at Don Pancho Supermarket. "Cash registers were ringing."
These days, this town of some 2,000 is struggling with a new reality, and an old story: No jobs.
Thrust into the national spotlight as the location for a detention center for migrant children and teens, Tornillo, right on a border crossing to Mexico, has gone from boom to bust, and been all but forgotten. As of this week, the facilities, known as Tent City, formally shut down and the money has dried up. Making matters worse, the government shutdown is also hurting businesses as Border Patrol agents and government workers aren't receiving paychecks even though they're still on the job.
Local business owners say they're watching their every dollar.

"Oh yeah, we're feeling it," said Jonathan "Johnny" Martinez, manager at Don Pancho. "Everyone is being careful with their money."
"Business is always slow," added Alejandra Machado at La Cabanita, whose specialty is tacos al pastor and quesadillas. "But a lot slower now."
In sleepy Tornillo and in other parts of West Texas, pecan orchards, cotton fields and government jobs have long driven the economy. Many residents are used to struggling from paycheck to paycheck to pay the rent or their mortgages and other bills.
The town sits across the Rio Grande from Valle de Guadalupe, a Mexican town long marred by drug violence. The two sides are connected by the Marcelino Serna Port of Entry, named after an undocumented worker who served in World War I and became one of the most decorated veterans from Texas.
Last summer, the town's fortunes took a dramatic turn for the best. Since June, an estimated 7,000 children have passed through the Tornillo tent city. The camp came to symbolize the mass detention of migrant children and teens by the Trump administration.
A similar shelter, with a capacity of about 500, had been set up in 2016 during a surge where Central Americans, migrant children and families, were housed here. This time around, the operation was much larger.
Originally opened in June for 30 days with a capacity of 400, the Tent City expanded in September and at its peak last fall held about 2,800 children. The operation, run by San Antonio-based BCFS, cost U.S. taxpayers more than $144 million, money that infused life into the regional economy.
The massive operation, complete with portable toilets, air-conditioned canvas tents, large TVs, a recreational center and a soccer field, beckoned workers from all over, especially, of course, Tornillo and nearby towns like San Elizario, Fabens and Clint.
Workers were hauled on buses daily from hotels for their shifts, which were around the clock. Hotel occupancy rates skyrocketed, as did car rentals and the need for airport shuttles. Restaurants were packed. Some had waiting lists, unusual in this area.
Jobs paid from $2,000 to $2,800 per week, the kind of money unheard of for residents who are used to making minimum wage. Suddenly, the Tornillo Independent School District couldn't find substitute teachers, recalled Alicia Reyes of accounts payable at the district.
Workers like Lily Sariñana couldn't believe her luck. Some went into debt, buying new cars, new clothes and taking out more credit cards. Neighbors sold new and old clothes outside their homes "because there was so much cash around," said Ana Montoya, who was doing about $100 in business each day.
Sariñana pondered a new car, wanting to pamper herself because her old car had been giving out for years. A widow, she decided to save some money for a big down payment later.
"These are the kinds of jobs you hear about in places far, far away, like Dallas, or Houston, or even Odessa because of the oil boom, but these jobs were now here in Tornillo," Sariñana said. "The job was like finding a cold Coca-Cola in the middle of the desert. I couldn't believe my luck."
A hairdresser, Sariñana kept running her Lights Beauty Salon with the help of her assistant, Alex, and worked six-hour night shifts at the tent city, cleaning toilets six days a week for $18 an hour.

Tornillo also became a hotspot for demonstrations against Trump's immigration policies. Beginning on Father's Day and throughout the Christmas holidays, protests grew in size, with protesters arriving from all over, including Dallas. Joshua Rubin, 67, said goodbye to his wife and son, and left his Brooklyn home and drove to Tornillo. He lived in his RV and became a fixture, holding a sign that read, "Free Them." He referred to the shelter as a concentration camp and created a Facebook page, Witness: Tornillo to galvanize pressure against the Trump administration.
Former tent city employees say the protests were overblown. People were misinformed. Many are bitter about what they call "progressive politicians," "West siders from El Paso," northeastern outsiders, university professors and "lying journalist." who flooded the town.
These days, many people remain on edge. At a large laundromat built to wash clothes in bulk orders, a manager kicked a reporter off the property and threatened employees not to talk to a visitor.
"Yes, many of us are depressed, upset," said Sariñana. "The kids were pampered, loved. A bunch of us agreed that these kids had more amenities than our own children, including three meals a day, snacks, large TVs, a soccer field. Sometimes I would see the protesters and wish I could talk to them and make them reason. I'm not in favor of the migration from Central America, but now that they're here, shouldn't they be taken care of properly until they're reunited with their families?"
The anti-Trump protesters remain unapologetic, though some conflicted about the outcome.
"I really feel for the folks in Tornillo who had jobs working with the kids in the tent city," said Stacey Sowards, chair and professor of the Department of Communication at the University of Texas at El Paso, who took part in some of the protests. "The unfortunate circumstance of what was supposed to be a very temporary situation this past summer for the migrant kids turned into a longer-term economic opportunity for those who live in Tornillo."
Diana Martinez, a humanities and history instructor at UTEP and El Paso Community College, helped organize Christmas caroling outside the tent city in December.
"We should be sure that our means to making a living is not on the backs of creating harm for others," she said. "We can't have a prosperous and fruitful future id we sow our seeds in toxic soil."
Texas Rep. Mary Gonzalez, a Democrat whose district includes Tornillo, added, "While the Tornillo facility did provide economic opportunities for the local community, it was still a threat to basic human rights and dignity. The jobs do not outweigh the injustice."
Vanessa Lujan said Tornillo has become a city of broken dreams, after the closure of tent city and ongoing government shutdown.
Few in Tornillo seem comforted by such words. The government shutdown isn't helping, either.
"Tornillo is a city of broken dreams," said Vanessa Lujan, who works at Don Pancho. "The government shutdown and the closing of the shelter hit us twice as hard."
In the end, Sariñana said, "that Coke in the desert was just a mirage." These days, to make ends meet, Sariñana is back full time at her hair salon and also making flower carnations to sell for Valentine's Day to help pay the bills.
Once booming, Tornillo is feeling the economic impact of the government shutdown and closure of tent city that once housed thousands of young migrants, mostly from Central America.

Prime Rib Roast
Prime rib roast, also known as standing rib roast, is a traditional and luxurious choice for special occasions such as holidays and celebrations because it is an impressive and flavorful cut of meat. Prime rib is made from the ribs of the cow, which are well-marbled with fat, giving the meat a rich and juicy flavor. It is also a relatively large cut of meat, making it perfect for serving a crowd.
In addition to its flavor and size, prime rib is also a relatively easy dish to prepare, as it requires minimal seasoning and can be cooked using a simple roasting method. This makes it a convenient choice for entertaining.
Overall, prime rib roast is a classic and sophisticated choice for special occasions because of its flavor, size, and ease of preparation.
Here are some tips for cooking and serving the perfect prime rib roast:
Choose a good-quality prime rib roast from a reputable source. The roast should be well-marbled and a deep red color.
Allow the roast to come to room temperature before cooking. This will help it cook more evenly.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the roast, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan, add rock salt to cover bottom. Sprinkle it generously with seasoning salt.
Roast the prime rib until it reaches the desired level of doneness, 1 to 1/2 hours. For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 110°F (43°C). For medium, cook until it reaches 135°F (57°C).
Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Recommend letting the roast stand for 1 hour. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Slice the prime rib against the grain into thin slices. Serve with your choice of sides, such as roast potatoes, vegetables, and horseradish sauce.
Course Meats
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Author N. J. Sorensen, RDN
7 pounds bone-in beef rib roast — external cap of fat removed
3 tablespoons seasoning salt — to taste
2 pounds rock salt — to cover
Before cooking the prime rib bring the beef to room temperature. Usually 2 -3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large roasting pan, add the rock salt to cover bottom of pan. Liberally, season the beef and place in the roaster. Cook the prime rib at 325°F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 110°F. Remove from the oven, cover lightly with aluminum foil, and allow to stand for 1 hour or until an internal temperature of 135°F.
NOTES: When cooking prime rib, it is important to allow the large piece of beef to rest to the desired internal temperature. The less done the better. For serving, cooking prime rib allows you serve medium well (end cuts), medium, and medium rare (center cuts) servings of prime rib.

We were very excited to greet well-known comedian Ruby Wax at NeuRA recently.
Ruby was in Australia touring her show about mental illness and dropped in to NeuRA for a tour and a discussion about the work that we do here to cure diseases of the brain.
Ruby has studied Psychotherapy and gained her Master's degree in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from Oxford University.
These days she promotes understanding of the brain and campaigns for greater mental health awareness. Here she is at NeuRA after a tour of our new building in Randwick. She is now working on her third book, called "Wake The F ** K Up – A #Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled. Thank you for your support Ruby.


According to Symantec's website, Norton Ghost 9.0 will be available in late August and is "enhanced with Drive Image technology". New key features include "hot imaging" and scheduled backups (both currently available with Drive Image 7) plus incremental backups.
What's the buzz on Ghost 9.0?
Symantec bough Powerquest some time ago. They make Ghost biggest competitor, Drive Image, and also Partition Magic.
It appears Symantec has merged Drive Image with Ghost, as many speculated.
Seems they are making Ghost more of a BACK-UP product than the CLONING product it was initially designed for.
Not sure if I like the hot-image feature. It would always be safer to image following a fresh reboot.
Incremental and scheduled back-ups might be nice, but there are many products that do this already. Cloning and imaging will remain Ghost's key features.
I looked at it and hurried to order Ghost 2003. They have incorporated both the good and bad about Drive Image. The bad being you need to install the 40Meg of Microsoft .Net stuff. To me this is just lazy. It allows them to do neat stuff in the GUI, but heck a lot of companies to this with out Microsoft .net.
Will Ghost 9.0 be included in SystemWorks Professional 2005 (as is currently the case with Ghost 2003 and SystemWorks Professional 2004) - or, will the user need to purchase the product separately?
P.S.: By the way, I have been using Drive Image 7 for several months and, from my perspective, it is a vast improvement over the archaic Ghost 2003 for image backup. I eagerly await Ghost 9.0!
I sent Symantec an email and asked about including Ghost v9/0 with NSW 2004/5 Pro. I'll post back when I hear from them.
Could someone refresh my memory what the difference is between Ghost 2003 as a standalone product vs. the Ghost that comes with Systemworks? I know there's some limitation to the one that comes with Systemworks but I can't remember what it is. Maybe it has something to do with it being able to write to NTFS partitions?
I'm 100% sure that I read there's a difference between the two. Anybody?
Then you are 100% wrong, my friend.
There is only 1 difference.
Ghost CD = bootable ghost media with tools for troubleshooting and even capability of Ghosting.
NSW CD = requires bootable floppy with CD support to be able to be used for anything worthwile.


MAUREPAS - Plenty of people were out kicking off Independence Day weekend on the water.
Boats could be seen floating up and down the Amite River all day.
"(I) figured I'd fill it up with gas and have some fun for the weekend," said Joseph Guillory.
Just feet away from where some of the boaters docked to take a swim, sits what's left of Val's Marina, a longtime restaurant in the community that was shut down.
"Unfortunately, in the community it will be a loss. But luckily for us, here in Louisiana, we have many more options as far as wonderful seafood. We do hate to see Val's go because it was a landmark here," said Michael Francisco.
Francisco told News Two he and his family plan to take full advantage of the holiday by spending quality time together.
"We're going to go downtown and actually be on the USS KIDD and enjoy the fireworks show," said Francisco.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will be conducting safety checks on boats on Saturday.

Vigil of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, 12/7/2012
The beautiful interior of St. Anthony's Church in Kailua, Hawaii
This evening, my Pilgrim Statue of the Blessed Mother was invited to be a part of the Vigil Mass for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It's always special to see an image of Our Lady, up front and center, when we celebrate a Marian Feast in our parish church because one feels as though the Virgin's presence is much more tangible when a statue or painting representing her is displayed during the service. At least, that's how I feel about it. Plus, it was especially meaningful to me knowing that it was my ministry's statue that was being utilized to help people make a connection with our sweet Heavenly Mother.
At tonight's festivities, our priest allowed us to pray the Holy Rosary before the Mass started as a way of further honoring Our Lady. Many parishioners showed up early to participate, which was really great. The service was beautiful, as usual, and Fr. Clarence did a great job in extolling the many virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary during his homily before we sang several Marian hymns. For some special reason, people were really involved with the service tonight and it was truly inspiring; even Father commented after about how he was almost moved to tears by the congregation's participation.
Parishioners gathered around Our Lady's pilgrim statue and Sacred Relic after the Vigil Mass ended.
After Mass several parishioners approached the statue to venerate Our Lady and her veil-relic, as well as to take photos with their smartphones. It never fails that people always seem attracted to the pilgrim statue whenever it's publicly displayed... and I could sense the sincere love and devotion that was being expressed as prayers were offered before the image of our Heavenly Mother. I have no doubt that Our Lady's spirit was with us this evening, blessing us abundantly... and for that, I was also very grateful.
* * * * * * The Hour of Grace * * * * * *
Lastly, since tomorrow is December 8th, the actual Feast of the Immaculate Conception, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind or inform readers about the "Hour of Grace" that Our Lady spoke about in her Rosa Mystica revelations made to the Italian seeress, Pierina Gilli, in 1947. Our Lady referred to it at least twice during two separate apparitions to the visionary:
+ November 22, 1947:
"… On the 8th December, at noon, I shall appear again here in the Basilica (of Montichiari).
It will be the Hour of Grace. This Hour of Grace will produce great and numerous conversions.
Hardened and cold hearts resembling this marble (the church floor) will be touched by Divine
Grace, and they will become faithful to Our Lord in loyal love."
+ December 8, 1947:
"I am the Immaculate Conception...
It is my wish that every year, on 8th December, at Noon, the Hour of Grace for the world be
celebrated. Many divine and bodily graces will be received through this devotion. Our Lord, my Divine Son
Jesus, will send His overflowing mercy if good people will pray continuously for their sinful brother.
One should very soon notify the Holy Father of the Church, Pope Pius XII, that it is my wish that
the Hour of Grace for the world be made known and spread throughout the world. If anyone is unable
to visit his church, yet will pray at noon at home, he will also receive graces through me."
Please consider observing the Hour of Grace at Noon tomorrow. The recommended prayers to be prayed during the hour are the Holy Rosary and the Miserere (Psalm 51), as well as prayers for the conversion of sinners. God bless you and may the Rosa Mystica - the Immaculate Conception - intercede for you.

Tomorrow night is our Dress Rehearsal for Absurd Person Singular. But did you know we first performed this play back in 1999? This play was a favourite of Bernard Reuben, a long serving member of the group who died almost a year ago. We selected this play as a tribute to him and some of our actors are resuming their original roles with Rob Newton and Jayne Hewson as the Jacksons and Gill Collins as Jane Hopcroft. Steve Howland takes Bernard's original part of Sidney and the Brewster-Wrights are this time performed by Janet Drewery and Wyn Price. Richard Bateman, as in 1999, is producing and directing.

The winter is just around the corner and now is the time to make sure that your heating system is running at peak performance. In order to assess the state of your heating unit you will need to let a professional come in and take a look at it. They will be able to thoroughly inspect the unit that you have and make sure that there are no repair issues that need to be addressed. Although having an inspection and maintenance help, you will still have to deal with unexpected repair issues from time to time. Here are a few of the most common issues that will lead to boiler service in Gloucester home.
One of the most common issues that you will have to deal with in relation to your boiler is an out pilot light. The pilot light is the spark that your boiler needs to start the heating process and without it you will not be able to keep warm. Generally an out pilot light is caused by a bad thermo coupling and the only way that you can get this fixed is by replacing it altogether. By hiring a professional, you can ensure that the job is done correctly and quickly.
Another very common problem that you will run across with your boiler unit is the radiators refusing to get hot. This is commonly caused by the inside of the radiator being clogged up by corrosion. Over time, the more and more that you use your heating system, the more corrosion that will occur in the vital parts of your unit. Eventually, this corrosion will surface and will usually require you to completely replace it. Before you go tearing out the radiators, be sure to get the opinion of a seasoned professional.
Yet another common issue that you may come across with your boiler system is it constantly shutting on and off. This can cause a lot of problems and can make it nearly impossible to get your home warm like you need it. In order to get this problem fixed, you will need to let a professional replace the low pressure switch in the unit. This is a relatively easy job if you have the experience and will allow you to heat your home like you need to in a matter of a few hours.
At Gas World Ltd, we install and maintain a wide variety of central heating systems, boiler & solar panels in & around Gloucester, UK. Visit them online!

It's summer now, schools are closing for the year, and those with a little free time are beginning to travel. I'm on the road already, having driven my wife's mother from Manassas, Virginia to Rochester, New York yesterday so that she can attend a wedding of a somewhat distant relative. I won't call Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York the American heartland, but passing through this region—like passing through anywhere—is very different from being at home.
When we're at home, we're firmly settled in whatever communities we're a part of, and for most of us this probably means we've grown used to the differences between "our group" and other groups in the same area. We have our own families, our own friends, our own churches; we cope with modern life according to our own routines. We may regard "our world" as tiny or expansive, but we know its landscape, and we're comfortable in it. Sometimes we're too comfortable.
But to travel is to leave the region we routinely navigate on autopilot, to put all our senses on alert for what is around the next bend or over the next hill. And while we will sometimes see familiar signs and symbols, most often we notice what is different. On one level, of course, this is simply the stimulation of freshness, the joy of surprise, the delight in something new. But on another level, we tend to notice many things that we take for granted at home. We notice the landscape, of course, but I think we also pay more attention to all the signs of spiritual and moral diversity: all the little churches we haven't yet pigeon-holed and forgotten, businesses both quaint and rapacious, dirty little puddles or even great palaces built to cater to the wanton pleasures of our tired race, evidence of bounty and signs of blight.
The longest part of my own drive was through Pennsylvania, a state which (one literally cannot help but notice) is rife with the dirty little puddles—adult this, massage that—a geographically beautiful but morally bleak example of a region with a high Catholic population which has somehow disconnected from its moral responsibilities. But regardless of the particulars, one observes again and again that the world is not converted to Christ, that the attitudes of citizens are in constant clash, and that it seems almost impossible to get a handle on the spiritual vacuity of an entire nation. It seems impossible, in other words, to make any real difference.
We see only superficially when we travel, but at least we do see. We notice again the unmistakable and widespread indicators that Our Lord is either misunderstood or ignored. These indicators surround us always, but I find they fade into the background when I'm at home, the background of the normal. When I travel, I am continually struck with a two-fold astonishment. On the one hand, I see almost everywhere beauties in nature, new places it would be delightful to visit, and special locations where it would be wonderful to reside. On the other hand, I wonder how we can possibly heal our magnificent yet corrupted world. How can we ever bring its people together for the glory of God?
I tend, I suppose, to be the kind of person whose cup is half empty; I need to remind myself not that it is half full but that it is overflowing with the gifts of God. Nonetheless, I see no easy solution to the profound lack of community which grips modern culture generally, the broken divisiveness, the self-chosen and almost bitter insistence on individual paths rather than common purposes. It is hard to preach to a world that believes it is normal, good and inevitable that everyone should have different beliefs and values. I wonder if this is particularly problematic in mass societies, in which every situation involves far too many people to know and be known. What real opportunities exist for moving beyond slogans into a serious, widely shared exploration of reality?
Sometimes when we travel we are deliberately taking a break from ordinary cares, including spiritual cares. That's fine; we shouldn't think we must always be beating our heads against the proverbial wall. But if this is true, why is it true? The reason, surely, is that our success as Christians is not measured by our ability to convert millions or to mold whole nations into flaming receptacles of the living God. Each of us eventually perceives the broad outlines of some particular calling. But even within that framework, we will find that we are not called to any sort of measurable success.
Instead, each one of us is called to a far more intimate participation in God's plan, a participation which cannot be evaluated by tallying numbers. We are all called to discern God's will in each situation and to follow that will as well as we can. If we do not know what God wants, we pray for light; if we do know what God wants, we pray for courage. God never asks us to deliver results. He asks us to seek His will and do it.
Travelling can give us an opportunity to step back, see things fresh, and reflect on life apart from the constrictions of our ordinary routine. Taking advantage of this opportunity may raise many questions, but we can be sure of one thing. God has ways of touching every heart. Where sin abounds, grace abounds still more (Rm 5:20); the mystery of each person's salvation is ultimately hidden in Christ. He will use us to touch some, but He will not use us to touch all; He may not even use us to touch many. And the one thing He will not ask us to do is the one thing He has already done. He will not—He does not—ask us to save the world.
Each of us is called to martyrdom, not in the sense that we must literally suffer death for our Faith, but in the sense that we are called to bear witness to Christ. If we can be cognizant of this vocation, and we can remember to call upon Our Lord incessantly for the graces to be true to it while participating in the sacraments of Holy Mother Church and diligently persevering in our daily prayers, we might in some small way participate in God's plan for "touching hearts" in our local spheres.
I can't put into words how much this article resonated with me. Traveling (in a little different way) with my son to baseball tournaments and my daughter to softball tournaments, I see how much the country has abandoned the sabbath. I talk with my children about setting an example for others by honoring it (even though that is not our primary purpose in doing so), but in the end it seems our efforts are widely ignored. Meanwhile, we struggle to do more than simply "fit in" a Mass between games.
Excellent reflection Dr. Mirus. Personally I think all we can do is to focus on doing what we can for whomever comes into our sphere of influence. Even if we see little going on in the way of conversions based on our actions in the course of our lives who knows who we ultimately touch through our prayers, conversations etc.? In many ways we live in a sort of darkness but it is the darkness of faith.

Q: FadeOut/FadeIn transition for label text change I'm trying to change the text of an UILabel with a little transition (fade out, change text, fade in) but I'm facing some problems. Here is my code:
- (void) setTextWithFade:(NSString *)text {
    [self setAlpha:1];
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:.25];
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(fadeDidStop:finished:context:)];
    [self setAlpha:0];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

- (void)fadeDidStop:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(void *)context {
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:.25];
    [self setAlpha:1];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

This code "works" (the effect is working well), but what I can't figure out is how to change the label text in the "fadeDidStop" function... How can I "pass" the text variable from my first function to the second?
Thanks in advance

A: You pass the text in the context:
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:text];

Then in your fadeDidStop method:
NSString *text = (NSString*) context;

Be mindful when passing objects in the context, make sure they are retained properly.

A: ...
 [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:[text retain]];
...

- (void)fadeDidStop:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(void *)context {
    self.text = (NSStrinhg *)context;
    [context release];
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:.25];
    [self setAlpha:1];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

A: maybe the simpliest way is to declare NSString object in your .h file and use it to store text to change.

Welcome to the Rocktopia News Section
High-Octane UK Metal rockers Cry Havoc unleash their greatly anticipated debut EP 'New Life'
Added by Woody	|	02 February 2013
High-Octane UK Metal rockers Cry Havoc unleash their greatly anticipated debut EP 'New Life' on Monday 15th April 2013, available through all good online outlets.
Flaunting an invigorating fusion of heavy metal, crafted by the power of Pantera, the swagger of Skid Row, and the attitude of Guns 'N' Roses in their prime, Cry Havoc are here to spread their own concoction of Heavy Metal to the masses in 2013!
Born and bred in British South, Cry Havoc are a group of degenerates dead set on conquering the UK heavy metal scene. Comprised of the vocal power of Gavin Bolt, Tristan Gaskell cutting up guitar riffs, Chris 'Crypt' Lawman supplying Rhythm Guitar, Billy Kirk on bass, and Eliott Lipscombe pounding on the beats, the energetic five-piece have already created quite a stir for their raucous live shows, as Metal Hammer reviewer, Dom Lawson, concurs "Frontman Gav is running from one side of the stage to the other, bare-chested and swivel-eyed, and generally going berserk. [They] are treating their performance as if it were a headlining slot at Wembley." Further, commenting about the bands' recent explosive sold-out set at Hammerfest III, Lawson adds that "Cry Havoc churned out a splendidly raw and brutish din". Cry Havoc's live shows have also been described as an explosion of the senses, bringing the band to be described as the 'illegitimate child of Pantera and Guns N' Roses'. Highly driven on Sex, Jägermeister, and Rock N' Roll, they own the stage—and no one can prise it from them!
With the live side of Cry Havoc firmly accomplished, and with recent successful supports with Gus G's Firewind, The Dirty Youth, The Defiled, Revoker, Malefice, Warrior Soul, Jettblack, Voodoo Six, and Romeo Must Die, the metal rockers decided to hit the recording studio to begin work on their much anticipated debut record. The band headed to the renowned Nott-In-Pill Studio to lay down four tracks with the prestigious producers Martyn "Ginge" Ford and Matthew Bond, who have previously worked with Bullet For My Valentine, Slipknot, Trivium, and Skindred. Cry Havoc came out the studio armed with their stunning debut EP 'New Life'. Loaded with crushing riffage capable of bursting arteries, the record is ram-packed with contagious hooks, driving rhythms, and ravenous riffs, and is an absolute must for any true heavy metal fan!

Access to treated water and sewage services are human rights recognized for years by the United Nations. Recently, this topic has been brought to the spotlight when the issue of gender equality has been jointly focused with the issue of sanitation. The 33rd Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which was held on July 27, 2016, dealt specifically with this. According to UN Special Rapporteur, Brazilian Léo Heller, gender equality is a fundamental principle of human rights that has not always been respected in urban development policies. In the rapporteur's view, transformative action is needed to achieve gender equality with regard to the right to the regular provision of treated water and the collection and treatment of sewage. The main ideas and conclusions of this report can be seen in the United Nations (2016).
Gender inequalities occur at every stage of a woman's life, from her childhood to her old age. That is why it is so important to pay attention to the special needs of women with regard to the right to water and to the sanitary sewage in the different phases of their lives. It is fundamental to note that gender inequality in access to water and sewage services also affects other human rights, such as women's right to health, security, adequate housing, education and food.
Equality of public policies requires consideration of the material and strategic needs of women.
This includes both the practical needs of women (such as of menstrual hygiene) and gender stereotypes and customs. Due to the role played by women in domestic and family care, lack of water affects women's lives more intensively than men. The United Nations report (2016) highlights the fact that women perform unpaid work (domestic and care) three times as much as men do. Thus, as caregivers, women are most affected when family members become ill as a result of inadequate access to water, sewage and hygiene. Also because of this role, women are in greater physical contact with contaminated water and with human waste when the sanitation infrastructure is inadequate.
Subsequently, Chapter 2 investigates the access of Brazilian women to basic sanitation equipment. It identifies the existence of still high deficits. About 1.6 million women were still living in houses without exclusive-use bathrooms in 2016. In the same year, more than 15 million Brazilian women still did not receive treated water in their homes and there were 12 million women who had access to the general water distribution network, but the frequency of water delivery was unsatisfactory. The number of women residing in housing without sewage collection reached the figure of 26.9 million. This means that one in four Brazilian women still lived in a precarious situation from the point of view of access to basic sanitation.
These conditions are analyzed in regional terms and by age groups, self-declaration of race, level of educational instruction and economic class, which allows to identify the deficits more precisely.
Chapter 3 of the study investigates how sanitation shortages have compromised the health of Brazilian women and have influenced their lives. Lack of sanitation has led to the occurrence of infectious gastrointestinal diseases that, depending on severity, have caused women to move away from their routine activities, kept them on bed rest or hospitalized. In extreme cases, these infections associated with poor sanitation led to death. This analysis is based on data from the National Health Survey (PNS) of 2013, which identified the occurrence of 7.9 million cases of withdrawal of women from their routine activities due to diarrhea or vomiting. Of this total, 3.6 million women were bedridden because of these infections. According to data from the Unified Health System (SUS), there were 353,500 admissions of women in the network and almost 5,000 deaths due to gastrointestinal infections associated with lack of sanitation.
The occurrence of these diseases not only affects the productivity of women in their economic activities, with a compromise of their income, but also reduces their potential for performance in the studies. In order to understand and measure these phenomena, Chapter 4 of this study deals with the education and labor market information of the PNADC 2016 and data from the National High School Examination (ENEM) of that year. The analyzes identify the basic sanitation among the determinants of school delay, performance in studies and the remuneration of women in Brazil.
Finally, the study addresses how the lack of sanitation directly affects women's lives in terms of how they organize their time between activities and how the lack of access to sanitation limits their income potential in the economy. In a broad sense, this final chapter of the study assesses how the lack of basic sanitation limits the well-being of women, compromising their health, education and domestic and economic activities. The estimated hours of Brazilian women which are wasted due to gastrointestinal diseases and, in the case of women engaged in economic activities, the income they no longer receive because of the diseases associated with lack of sanitation are presented.
Viewed from a different angle, these estimates also quantify the potential welfare gains that could be obtained with the improvement of sanitation, that is, they indicate the increase in income and the greater availability of hours of rest or leisure that the Brazilian women would have if access to sanitation were universal in Brazil. Besides increasing the number of hours that can be spent on rest, leisure, work and education, universalization would decisively affect productivity and income, allowing a high number of women to leave the poverty condition.

University City (colloquially, U. City) is an inner-ring suburb of the city of St. Louis in St. Louis County, in the U.S. stateof Missouri. The population was measured at 35,371 by the 2010 census.
The city is one of the older suburbs in the St. Louis area, having been a streetcar suburb in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; much historic architecture remains in the southern, older portion of the city, particularly along Delmar Boulevard. The northern portions of the city, mostly developed after World War II, have more of a suburban feel with many shopping centers and other automobile-centered development.
University City has much municipal open space, the largest parcels being 85-acre (340,000 m2) Heman Park (which includes recreation and community centers and public pool facilities) and Ruth Park (a public golf course and nature trails). The city has four elementary schools, one middle school, two Catholic grade schools and one high school. The School District of University City is separately managed from other school districts in the area.
University City's southern border is approximated by Northmoor. The eastern border is approximated by Skinker Boulevard. The western border is approximated by old McKnight, some of which is now Interstate 170.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.90 square miles (15.28 km2), all of it land.[3]
The Delmar Loop, an entertainment, cultural and restaurant district, sits along Delmar Boulevard, parallel to and six blocks north of the northern boundary of the university. The city is also home to the University City Olive Link, known for its high concentration of East Asian businesses and considered as an outer-city replacement for the earlier ethnic neighborhood of Chinatown in the city of St. Louis.[8]
The highest point of University City is the western terminus of Delmar Boulevard, at the tri-border of University City, Ladue, and Olivette.
The city also contains part of Midland Boulevard, which divides the watersheds of the Mississippi River and the Missouri River. The River Des Peres rises in the hills near the University City and Clayton boundary, flows north, takes a strong turn at Ruth Park, and then runs through culverts southeast through the city of St. Louis to debouche in the Mississippi River.

Bamburg v. Zumwalt
Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division II
ROBERT E. BAMBURG APPELLANT
JOAN R. ZUMWALT AND LISA J. BAMBURG, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF MINOR CHILD APPELLEES
APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, NINTH DIVISION [NO. 60CV-11-3399] HONORABLE MARY SPENCER MCGOWAN, JUDGE
Allison R. Allred, for appellant.
Wright, Lindsey & Jennings, LLP, by: Michael A. Thompson, Antwan D. Phillips, and Kayleigh C. Dulaney, for appellees.
MIKE MURPHY, Judge
Appellant Robert E. Bamburg appeals two orders of the Pulaski County Circuit Court ordering him to pay attorney's fees to the appellees for expenses they incurred while attempting to recover missing trust assets. Robert's appeal is premature, and we dismiss without prejudice.
Appellees Joan Zumwalt and Lisa Bamburg filed the underlying action in this case to remove Robert as trustee of two trusts, the Lisa J. Bamburg Irrevocable Trust and the Elise D. Bamburg Irrevocable Trust. Robert was removed pursuant to a summary-judgment order entered by the Pulaski County Circuit Court on August 17, 2015. Lisa is the successor trustee to both trusts.
Following his removal, Robert did not immediately deliver the records and assets of the two trusts to Lisa. The appellees filed a motion to compel, and the circuit court, on December 14, 2015, ordered Robert to "produce all records or documents in his possession or that he has access to concerning the Bamburg Trusts" and to "pay Plaintiffs' reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in filing the subject motion to compel." Robert was able to produce the requested materials for the Elise D. Bamburg Irrevocable Trust but was unable to do so for the Lisa J. Bamburg Irrevocable Trust. The appellees filed a second motion on March 2, 2016, asking for an order compelling Robert to produce the documents and property associated with the Lisa J. Bamburg Irrevocable Trust, for attorney's fees, and for Robert to be held in contempt of court for his failure to comply with the December 2015 order.
On April 4, 2016, the circuit court entered an order compelling Robert to produce and release the missing trust documents, awarding attorney's fees, and reserving the issue of contempt. On November 11, 2016, the appellees filed their formal motion for attorney's fees and included an itemized bill. An order awarding those fees was entered on March 3, 2017, for $2997.02. That order stated that "the request for additional attorney's fees will be addressed in a separate order." Robert paid the $2997.02. Then, on December 4, 2017, the court entered another order awarding an additional $5294.23. Robert now appeals from that order, arguing that the award of fees in both March and December 2017 was an abuse of discretion.
We must first address the preliminary issue of whether this appeal involves a final, appealable order. When the order appealed from is not final, this court will not decide the merits of the appeal. Kines v. McBride, 2017 Ark.App. 40, at 3, 511 S.W.3d 352, 354. The finality of an order is a jurisdictional question that we have the right and duty to raise to avoid piecemeal litigation. Toney v. White, 31 Ark.App. 34, 787 S.W.2d 246 (1990). Rule 2(a)(1) of the Arkansas Rules of Appellate Procedure-Civil provides that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment or decree entered by a circuit court. For an order to be appealable, it must dismiss the parties from the court, discharge them from the action, or conclude their rights to the subject matter in controversy. Toney, supra. Rule 2(a)(12) also provides that an order is appealable if it is entered pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated section 28-1-116 (Repl. 2012), which sets forth that all orders in probate cases, except an order removing a fiduciary for failure to give a new bond or render an accounting required by the court or an order appointing a special administrator, are appealable.
However, trust matters are governed by Arkansas Code Annotated sections 28-73-101 to -1106, and these statutes are not designated by Rule 2 as appealable. Nor have trust matters historically been cognizable as probate matters. See Vaught v. Vaught, 71 Ark.App. 196, 198, 29 S.W.3d 365, 366-67 (2000) (holding that the construction, interpretation, and operation of trusts are matters that lie within the jurisdiction of chancery courts). It is important to note that our supreme court has recently held in In re Matter of Hamilton Living Trust, 2015 Ark. 367, 471 S.W.3d 203, that a circuit court's order granting a trust beneficiary's claim for an accounting against the purported successor trustee was appealable as a final judgment or decree pursuant to Rule 2(a)(1); however, in that case, the parties were dismissed from court, the action was discharged, and the rights to the subject matter were concluded.
In the present case, however, no parties have been dismissed, the action has not been discharged, and the rights to the subject matter have not been concluded. The appellees have continually prayed for the return of the trust assets, yet the orders have both dealt with delivery of records or documents concerning only the trust, and not the assets themselves. Additionally, the issue of contempt was specifically reserved in the April 4, 2016 order. The purpose of requiring a final order is to avoid piecemeal litigation, and to allow this appeal to proceed would almost certainly lead to just that. See Clark v. Summers, 2018 Ark.App. 225, at 3-5, 547 S.W.3d 511, 513-14.
As a final note, the record before us indicates that there have been two hearings on the motions to compel, yet appellant did not provide us any transcript, abstract, or abstractor's note regarding the hearings. The appellant's brief also omitted a statement of the case. Counsel is encouraged to review our rules to ensure that no additional deficiencies exist in the event an appeal is still warranted upon the entry of a final order.
Dismissed without prejudice.

If you're a fan of audiobooks, here are five great choices for a great listening experience while you cruise to your destination.
'The Hobbit' by J. R. R. Tolkien
Tolkien's classic adventure story is a pleasure to read and perhaps even better to hear read aloud. You may have read "The Hobbit" as a kid, but it has lost none of its joy and excitement since then. Tolkien's fantastical world of dragons, elves, dwarves, wizards – and yes, hobbits – has entertained readers for more than a generation. At about 11 hours long, Tolkien's novel is perfect for any long drive. Once you listen to it read by the talented Rob Inglis, it's likely you will want to listen to even more.
'The Things They Carried' by Tim O'Brien
This modern classic has become a regular in American history classes. O'Brien depicts a chillingly authentic image of soldiers serving in the Vietnam War. The audiobook edition is read by Bryan Cranston, whose astonishing performance delicately plays off the book's emotional power. It also includes the author reading "The Vietnam in Me," a recounting of his return to Vietnam in 1994, 25 years after his experience there as a soldier. At just under eight hours, "The Things They Carried" is sure to provide a gripping narrative while going down the highway. You are unlikely to be the same when O'Brien wraps up his narrative.
'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' by Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou's classic of learning about life, love, and kindness is a life-changing book to read. For those who are familiar with it, it might be difficult to imagine how 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' could be more powerful. However, hearing it read by Maya Angelou herself makes it all the more compelling. Angelou describes her experiences of loss, abandonment, and prejudice, and how she overcame it all. Hearing the power she discovered in kindness even in the face of hatred will inspire you. At about 10 hours, this is the perfect choice for a quiet trip full of reflection and insight.
'Everything That Rises Must Converge' by Flannery O'Connor
O'Connor's classic tragic comedy about pride, racism, and generational conflict comes packed with eight other short stories. As always, O'Connor's stories have an uncanny ability to grab your attention until the very end. These stories provide nine hours of content broken up into multiple stories, 'Everything That Rises Must Converge' is a fantastic choice for trips with lots of stops or multiple parts. O'Conner's depth of insight and jarringly real characters are sure to make every moment of your trip an exhilarating experience.
'Born a Crime' by Trevor Noah
The hysterical comedian and star of "The Daily Show," Trevor Noah, offers fascinating insights into growing up in South Africa during the twilight of apartheid. Noah's recounting of the freedom that followed and the cultural turmoil he experienced are riveting in their wit and poignancy. Noah tells his story with a talent for drama that never overshadows his honesty. At about eight hours and forty-five minutes, "Born a Crime" is the kind of audiobook with the power to turn a road trip into a full-fledged journey.

The, doctor, will see you now, but, in a different way telemedicine. Uses, technology, to diagnose, and treat illness remotely, for. The aging, it can provide 24-hour, care without, a hospital, stay and improve, quality of life through, more accessible, treatment options, joining. Us to discuss the latest innovations. In telemedicine are, the interim vice chancellor. Of UC Davis health dr.. Tom Nesbitt and Heather, young the, Dean of UC, Davis School of Nursing next. On studio Sacramento. At. Five star bank we create thoughtful solutions to help the Capital Region, thrive from, economic, development and education to. Public health and safety issues. That are vitally important to Sacramento's, prosperity, we're, proud to be part of the conversation, and hope you'll join in. This. Studio Sacramento. Episode, is supported, by UC, Davis health where, doctors nurses researchers. And staff share a passion, for advancing, health learn, more about their latest medical innovations, at health UC, Davis edu. Dr.. Nesbit what is changing, in society that, is leading, to this drive for innovation, in delivering, care remotely. Well. I think there is a number of things we're sort of in a perfect. Storm right now where we have, an. Aging, population. We. Have a population. That. Is. Using. More healthcare and as. People, are getting, older, and, staying. Alive older, and wanting to be active, older, they happen, to live with more chronic diseases so we have a number, of people that have chronic diseases, and, luckily. They are living longer but the, fact that they have these chronic diseases. Requires. Them to be more engaged with the healthcare system and. We. Also at, the same time are, experiencing. Particularly in some areas of the country and in this state, caregiver. Shortages, so we have to think about new. And innovative ways, of, caring for people with, crime. Disease and acute diseases and so that's driving, us to look at new models of care and technology. Has a lot to offer in that area so new technology. Enabled models of care are really becoming. Quite. Popular and, being used more frequently. But. Dr. young we. All prized. The. Personal. Attention and the touch, for, instance nurses, and so, we've, liked being in in, facilities. To. A certain extent because we know that a. Call, button away as a nurse, how. Does telemedicine. Replace. Well. I wouldn't think of it as replacing, anything, Scott it's really about using, enabling, technology. In conjunction. With the human side of things and in, fact most people want, to age in their own homes and they, prefer not to ever go to a clinical, setting if they possibly, can and with, a workforce, that's moving more and more into homes with, the ability to bring nurses. Into homes and other health care providers, as well coupled. With technology. I think we can in some ways craft, a different way of delivering, care and. In. Crafting. That different way how, is that transforming. The. Profession. Of Nursing, well, nurses are developing. New ways of thinking about their practice, it used to be that about, 80% of our graduates, went into hospitals, to practice, and now, just in the short period of less than 10 years it's down to 60% and so, we're really moving more and more into community, settings there's, more opportunities. For nurses to think about how to provide, person-centered. Care and, at, the time when people really, want it and need it because, health happens, everywhere, and it's, about having the right person at the right time in the right place and usually. It's where the consumer, wants to be the most I really. Like that term, persons, and centered, care yeah these. Innovations. That, are happening. How. Is it that medicine. Is being, transformed. We're. Really looking at the individual. And how, to improve their outcomes, as as opposed, to more, of sort of percent, an assembly, line approach. Yes. I think that's true and I think that these models, of care really.
Can. Encourage. That kind of thinking. In. The past. What, we've done is we've. We. Move the patient, to the expertise, now. We're thinking about ways of moving the expertise, to, where the patient is, so. That's more that's, more patient, or person focused. We. You. Know have tended, to. Look. At the way we deliver healthcare, it's, really been provider, sort, of centric, and. We've. Also really. Focused. All of our care on the professional, caregiver, with. With. Not a lot of communication what, do you mean by that well. We've. We've tended, to all, the care has been delivered by professional. Caregivers, and we know that, there's a huge, amount of care that's actually, delivered, by family members and informal, caregivers, and so, we have to figure out ways to bring them into the process and, technology. Can help us safely bring them into the process of, you. Know have, Thembi the, the the hands, at home. When. We're engaging a patient at home when we're monitoring, somebody, at home when were engaging, with a somebody. At home through video conferencing, we can have somebody who's who's, there with that with the patient and and, then, be the hands, of the caregiver, the. Professional, caregiver and. Having. Engaging. Those. Non-professional. Caregivers, as, part, of the, quote, unquote treatment, team. Actually. Enhances. The, health, outcomes, for the individual, in question as, opposed, to just moving them inside to a hospital. Well. It does, because we're able to provide care on a round-the-clock. Kind, of basis, and. I, think that because. In. The, past there's, not been good communication. Between those caregivers and the professional, care team a lot, of things have gotten missed, and. We've we tended, to, assume. That. What. We hear and see and measure in an office, setting in a very artificial, setting is what. The reality is for that patient, when, they're outside of that setting, when, in reality when, you're in the doctor's office your blood pressure may be higher your heart rate may be higher you you, know all, those things may be quite, a bit different than when you're in your home in your normal setting and if we can engage, patients, in that setting, measure, those kinds, of. Parameters. In, their home we can treat them on a round-the-clock, basis. And then, family caregivers, can also give us more information. On. A round-the-clock, basis, about what's really going on that medications. Making, making, my mother tired or she. Doesn't seem to be finding her words as well when she's on that medication particularly. At night we. May not get that information if, we, didn't weren't, able to engage the. Patient. And their and their family. Caregivers in their homes dr.. Nesbitt raises, a really interesting point about engagement. Yes, I can speak from personal experience. In terms of taking, care of a loved one of my own that. There, doesn't seem a, feel, totally at a loss sometimes. And. There doesn't seem to be a lot, of support, and training out there, what. UC Davis doing in order, to provide more tools, for those of us who are actively, involved in the loved ones care well you're bringing up an issue Scott that so, many families, are facing in the country now and it's an invisible problem to, a large extent, we're, really excited that a DC Davis we've recently founded the family caregiving Institute, and the, focus of that institute is twofold, one is to support family caregivers, with the knowledge and supports, that they need to be able to do, what they're being asked to do in some cases volunteering. To do and facing. Challenges, day to day and the, second part of it is to work to, develop a better understanding, on the part of health care providers nurses, and doctors and, others. About, what a family caregivers, really need how, can we do a better job of including, you how, can we provide you with the information you, need in the time that you need it we've. Been partnering with AARP.
Which Is one of the largest consumer, organizations. In the country to. Develop videos for example and some, of these videos are, resources. That help with, instruction. For family caregivers around things like wound care you, know how do I could persuade my mom to take a medication, when she doesn't want to take one he's told me those kinds, of issues because, they're very important, questions, and they're they're very practical they're. The kinds of things that people face every day and we're hoping to increase, the availability of that type of information you. Know you. Open a really interesting door, because, one, of the things that I think all of us deal with when we're dealing with a loved one is. You. Never quite know, does. Something, rise to the level of do I need to take her in yeah, or, is this something that can be handled a different way do. I disturb, the, physician, or the nurse. On, call at, that time and. Technology. Being, a bridge it. Sounds. Like it could be such, a stress reliever not, only to the patient, for those that are around them absolutely. And it's about having the conversation together. Where. The family caregiver is with the person who's getting the care with, the healthcare providers, and talking about what should I worry about when. Should I call you and how can I get in touch with you easily, that, may not be an office appointment, but maybe there's a way to text, or a way to get conversations. Going or send data I mean, it's wonderful for nurses, and physicians to get information, that's real-time, data about how things are going and, the. Technology, enables us to do some of that what. Are some of the most exciting. Innovations. In technology that. Are, now. Being moved. Out into the, community. That, you think are going to have an impact on improving. Lifestyle. And quality. Of health well. I think there's they. Fit, into several. Categories, so there are. Technologies. That monitor, things like heart, rate blood pressure, something. We call pulse oximetry, how well your Bloods being oxygenated. We. Can obviously, measure glucose. People's. Weight and people's activity, so, we can all, that information. Can, be passively. Sent, to. A care team if people are you know using those monitors, wearing, those kinds of monitors, there. Is now because, of the how, computers. Are now and how you know with skyping, and things like that but also with. Even. Your television, set, there's. Going to it's going to be easier, and easier to, do. Two-way interactive videoconferencing from. The home in with. Really high quality so. Being. Able to videoconference. With your care team with, nutritionists. With your nurse with. Your your physician. Will, be easier, to do from your home there's. Also some. Other, technology. Out there around you, mentioned medication. And how do you get, someone to take a medication. There, are medication. Adherence. Systems. That range all the way from what, does that mean medication, adherence well so making, sure that somebody takes their medication, so, the third thing yeah. They're, reminders. Where you you. Know you have the pier the pills laid out by, the week by the day of the week and when you open that up and empty that or, you open the bottle there's, a message, sent that says you did take your your, realization, yes so they have those they. Also there's, some. New technology, out there that. Actually is a chip that goes inside, the pill and there's. A something. You wear that. When that when the pill gets into your stomach, that, little digestible. Harmless, chip dissolves. And fires off a signal that says that you actually that you actually swallowed, the pill but. There's there are several kinds of systems that are out there that that, tell you whether whether, someone's, taken them their medication, then. There are. Technologies. Around rehabilitation. So. The. Gaming, systems, that are out there are. Are very good at measuring motion. Accurately, that's how they know if you hit the tennis, ball right or you. Know hit the baseball right, in the video game you're playing that can also be, repurposed. And we've done that with, a team, to, repurpose, that so it accurately, measures your rehabilitation, motion. So if you're trying to rehabilitate, your shoulder, it knows that you're moot you're doing the movement exactly, right and then we can connect with your physical, therapy, team to, measure this do do to patients, find that approach more fun than, traditional, therapy well so far we tested on a number of people and they do and, the the other thing about it is that again they don't have to go to a physical therapist, and watch them or even.
Worse When, you prescribe, home physical, therapy, and, you. They the, the the doctor, says well, have you been doing your physical therapy, and you I think so I think I've been doing it right they can say yeah, it looks like you've been doing it perfectly, and, so they can make decisions in. That way, there. Is one, piece. Of this that's that's critical, though and the critical, piece of this is to get the information from. Those monitors, from the rehabilitation. To integrate, that into the electronic, health record and that is a bigger challenge than a lot of people realize why, well. Because the. The. Information. That's coming from devices. Has. To be. Configured. In a way that. Can go through a gateway. And into, the electronic, health record but not just as raw data so, that the. Data that comes off a, heart. Rate monitor or, a blood pressure monitor needs, to be needs, to be converted, into actionable, information for, a care team and then arrive, in the patient's records so when the, care team is seeing the patient they can quickly. Look at a graph or something and see what's going on that's, a challenge, that that we've taken on actually through one a Heather's grants, and. And have, some experience, with that and really were one of the first places in the country to integrate, that kind of information. You. Know there's a lot of talk about wearables, now this, watch, right here is one that, you, know monitors, my heart rate and you, know how many steps I take and all that sort of all, that sort of thing will, there be a, greater. Movement to, integrate. And merge. Healthcare. Related technology. And more, consumer, related technology, future very much so and yes for so long the developments, been happening in two different parts and bringing, it together and using it as meaningful, data and interpreting, it in a meaningful way is where, we really need to head so, for someone who's got a chronic condition like diabetes which, takes a lot of adjustment. In your lifestyle. Your, activity, level your food your sleep those kinds of issues being, able to bring real-time data in so, that your healthcare provider can see it and see, how it's affecting, your blood sugar and whether you're getting better or not having. That all come together is so helpful, both for the person who's got diabetes as well as for the healthcare provider who gets real live data about, what's happening, so, I can see it really making a big difference in, being able to for each of us to set our own goals for our health and monitor. Our own progress and, do, it in partnership with the healthcare system what's. Most exciting to, the nurses, going through your program today about, this, explosion, in technology. Well. The fact that it's, becoming ubiquitous most. People are walking around with at least, cellphone and oftentimes wearables. As well and the, idea of being able to actually harness that and use that to improve health is very exciting. And because, it takes it out of something that's owned by the people in white coats in a clinical setting and it, means that each of us in our own way can own our own health and use. The information we gather to set our own goals to work with the, conditions, that we're grappling with and to, improve health I think there's a tremendous opportunity there. And for, older adults the, thought of being able to stay in our own homes to. Be able to get the care we need and to coordinate it and to, get the right supports, at the right time is a big motivator. Well. In. The recent. Documentary. Called. Forever, Young. One, of the things that that was talked about was how. Aging, itself, is, changing. And like many things the baby boomers. Have. You, know said, we're going to do it differently than, in the past. How is. Graceful. Aging, or healthy. Aging. Changing. Well. I think healthy. Aging is is, changing, one of the reasons, that's changing, is because the period of time between. When, someone, retires and, dies. Is. Thankfully. You. Know increasing, and so there's, a big chunk of people's lives, that. They. Are they're. Not going, to work every day they're, there they, have, to find other things to do with their time and because. They're living longer they. Are you. Know, living. With one. Or more chronic diseases, a lot of older. Adults are living with one or more chronic disease, but they. Don't want to be defined by that disease they, don't want their life to be defined, by that disease they they, want, to acknowledge they, have that disease but they they don't want to live in the world of the sick because. They're older and I. Think that therefore they, want to try and minimize the impact of that disease on their lives and be, able to stay in their homes be able to be active be able to travel be able to do those thing and so I think that's. One of the reasons why people are beginning to embrace these, technologies.
Where. They can you. Know measure their their, blood sugar their their blood pressure their you, know anything, that's going on with them communicate, with their care team make, a change. On the fly with, their medication. And then. See how things go over the next 24 hours without having to wait for three weeks for the doctor's appointment, can I travel should. I should i cancel my trip all, those kinds of things and I think this is this. Is really where it's going to impact, people in their in their daily lives, it sounds, liberating. Actually, you know that, we're no longer tied to. You. Know our our physical location, because. Our. Caregiver. Physician. Nurse, other. Health, professional, can be, accessed, anywhere at any time yeah. And healthy, aging so, much more than just the physical body and the disease it's. About who we are in our world our society our connection, with people our. Mental health our feeling, of well-being and, so, I think that's another exciting, part of we're healthy aging is going is looking. At people as whole people and in, the context. Of their families, and communities let's. Talk a little bit more, about. That how. Does how does that. Piece. Of it the more of the more kind, of quality, of life. Aspects. Of the. Health care equation, factor in to. How it is that health. Care is. Adapting. To, not only the aging population but, but just people in general so. When you think about health one of the biggest predictors, of living. Long and well is connection. With others so. Connection, with families and friends neighbors people who are important, to you and in. The past we wouldn't have thought of that as being part of a prescription for health because. The focus was more on medications. And on treatments, but, now as you think more globally about, health, being that state of well-being, technology. Can help in ways of connecting people so for example those are very isolated, in their homes can, have connections, through through, different types of technologies, where. They're in real time and we can be checking in with each other and have relationships, that. Transcend, our physical space and, that's.
One Really important, way of engaging people. It. Sounds like, with. All this technology and, the. Ability for people to stay not. Only in their homes but in their neighborhoods and communities, that. It's going to transform. Sort. Of the physical. Aspect, of how healthcare is delivered. 20. Years from now, well well hospitals. Look. The same be, the same as they are today with. All of this deluge, in technology. Well. That's. That's a great, question, that we don't know yet but we assume, that there will be. More. Emphasis on care. Outside of institutions. Shorter. Lengths of stay one thing we haven't talked about is this, also these technologies, might mean that, you. Can go home from the hospital early. We where we have some programs at UC Davis where we're able to get people home. And then videoconference. With them in their home after, surgery for instance and you. Know, hopefully. That will allow people to leave the hospital earlier, and therefore. If we're, shortening lengths of stay. We. Can decrease. The number of beds. Hospitals. You know will you, know they'll always need, to be I, see. Use and, emergency. Rooms and they'll have to be, operating. Rooms and and people, will have to stay in the hospital for some time but we're hoping to decrease. That time that people are in hospitals, and and. Make the transition, of care more, smooth from, the, care team that's, in the hospital continues. To see you but they continue, to see you in your home, let's. Go even further out. Projecting. Out you. Know, in. The, next, 20. Years or so. How. Do you think that. We, as individuals. Will. Be affected, by all this innovation what will we be doing differently as we. Monitor, our health and try and enjoy, a higher level of wellness, using. This technology. Well. I think. One. Of the things that, we, we, haven't talked about that that gets. To part of your your question is how much. Privacy. Are people willing to give up interest. To, to, you. Know, do. You want your, your, care team to know that your when. You're taking your pill what your weight is every day what you ate you. Know when. You cheated on your diet and those kinds of things so I, think it really depends. A lot on how. Much of that people. Are willing to give up when, they're sick when people aren't sick they're probably not willing to give up much privacy. When they are sick of it means being in a nursing home or staying, at home people are willing to give that up and so. I think it will change, our. Relationship. With our healthcare teams, and the healthcare teams need. To change as well too, to be, in a you, know provide. Care in a model like this where that is more. Patient. And person centric. And. If. You were to name just one. Technology. That. You, think is going to be exciting, and transforming, just, its name what is it I would, say communication, technology. Technology. That really brings information, to the point, of action, so. The ways that we can integrate information. And use it in. In meaningful ways all, right well. Thank you both, good. Luck and much success in your work thank you and looking for all of that training for caregivers, and everything. And that's, our show thanks. To our guests and thanks to you for watching studio Sacramento I'm. Scott Syphax. See you next time right here, on kvie. At.
