Whether you're missing your favorite Costa Rican coffee shop, savoring the luxury of newfound coffee time, or dreaming of ways to bring the pura vida back into your life – a delicious cup of Costa Rican coffee will certainly hit the spot.
Enter Cafe Britt.
If you've had the pleasure of visiting Costa Rica already, you have probably heard of Cafe Britt, a producer of gourmet coffee in Costa Rica for over 30 years. Bags of their fragrant coffee can be found in restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, and more. If you haven't personally purchased a bag, you'll almost certainly have tried it in the morning at your hotel or maybe at a local restaurant for an after-dinner cappuccino.
And if you haven't had the pleasure, trust us when we say this, it's definitely worth trying. Cafe Britt is one of the top producers of the finest coffee in the world.
Why is Costa Rican coffee the best?
Superior Growing Conditions
With high altitudes, fertile volcanic soil, warm temperatures, steady rainfall, and tropical climate, Costa Rica is uniquely positioned to produce superior coffee beans with fine aromas and flavor.
100% Arabica Coffee Beans
In fact, Costa Rica is the only country in the world where it is illegal to produce anything less than 100% Arabica coffee beans – the highest quality. Arabica beans are some of the most difficult to grow, but the result is a richer, premium blend of coffee.
Hand-picked Beans
To produce gourmet coffee, Costa Rican beans are hand-picked. Only the most mature beans are chosen and processed by an expert eye.
8 Coffee Growing Regions
Costa Rica is known for its wide-ranging microclimates and ecosystems – attracting travelers worldwide. These diverse microclimates are also idyllic for growing diverse varietals of coffee beans. For instance, the Tarrazú region is known for its heavy aromas and acidic taste. Many believe that this region most consistently produces the best coffee. Brunca has moderate flavors. Valle Occidental produces coffee with hints of peaches and apricots.

The Work of Artisans
Costa Rican coffee production is an art, truly. And Cafe Britt treats it as such.
They source high-quality coffee beans from regions that best express the character of the terrain. They then pass along the best beans of the bunch to their expert roasters and artisans who craft exclusive coffee blends for us to enjoy.
There are so many expressions that a single cup of coffee can make, but the expertise of skilled artisans can distill the depth and complexity of the entire production process into a single cup.
So, what's on the menu?

With a multitude of brews, you're certain to find one you love from decaf to espresso, light to dark, organic, fair trade, and still more. Reminiscent of wine lists, Cafe Britt tasting menus highlight the unique flavor notes underscored in each brew like the apricot, caramel, and malt found in their light roast coffee and the apple and laurel notes found in their organic blend. The wide-ranging combinations of flavors and regions combined with local coffee culture make Costa Rican coffee tasting a culinary art.
Is it time to indulge? Try the world's best coffee or send some to a friend. Ready to totally immerse yourself in Costa Rican coffee culture? Let's plan your trip!

NDP suspends Quebec MP Christine Moore in wake of inappropriate conduct allegations
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has temporarily suspended Quebec MP Christine Moore from her duties with the party and ordered an investigation after a veteran of the war in Afghanistan accused her of inappropriate sexual behaviour.
The allegations against Moore are the latest to rock the third-place party. Singh expelled another MP from caucus last week following a three-month investigation that was sparked by a complaint from Moore.
In an interview, retired corporal Glen Kirkland said Moore first approached him after he testified before a parliamentary committee in June 2013, where he had been asked to speak on the treatment of ill and injured soldiers.
Kirkland was wounded in an ambush in Afghanistan in 2008 while driving a light-armoured vehicle that was hit by recoilless rifle fire. The shot killed three other soldiers and left Kirkland with severe injuries, including a damaged pancreas and right eye, crushed vertebrae, bleeding in the brain and PTSD.
Kirkland did not want to get into specifics Tuesday. But he did tell the CBC that Moore followed him back to his hotel and continued to send explicit messages, even turning up unannounced at his Manitoba home before he forcibly told her to stop.
"I'm not claiming rape or anything," Kirkland, who is now a real estate agent in Brandon, Man., told CP. But, he said, "she was inappropriate. She used her position of power and authority to get what she wanted."
In a statement released Tuesday, Singh said Moore will remain a member of caucus pending the results of an investigation, but that she is being temporarily relieved of her duties on committees and other party matters.
"I take these allegations very seriously and I will be appointing an independent investigator to conduct a fair and full examination," Singh said. (Source: Edmonton Journal)

Service Canada moves away from calling Canadians Mr., Mrs., or Ms.
Service Canada employees who interact with the public are being asked to stay away from terms like Mr., Mrs., father and mother, and to use gender-neutral terms in their place, CBC News has learned.
According to documents obtained by Radio Canada, the French-language arm of CBC, front-line staff must now "use gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language."
"This avoids portraying a perceived bias toward a particular sex or gender," says a copy of speaking notes prepared for managers and team leaders.
"It is important that Service Canada, as an organization, reflects Canada's diverse population and ensures that the views and interests of Canadians are taken into account when we develop policies, programs, services and initiatives," says the directive.
The new guidelines also rule out using terms such as mother and father because they are "gender specific" and say the neutral word "parent" should be used instead.
The same goes for honorifics such as Mr., Mrs., and Ms., and in both languages. Instead, employees are being directed to address customers by their full names or ask them what they want to be called.
Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, whose department oversees Service Canada, took to Twitter Wednesday to clarify that agents can still call people Mr. or Ms. if that's what the caller prefers.
"We are only confirming how people want to be addressed as a matter of respect," he said. (Source: CBC News)
Letter to the Editor (Hamilton Spectator – March 28, 2018)
Editorial cartoon was tone-deaf
I can't begin to imagine what led not only Graeme MacKay, but a team of editors, to think the Service Canada this cartoon was anything other than ignorant, transphobic and hugely problematic.
I had to read it twice because I thought I was missing something. I hoped there was no way it could be as tone-deaf as it seemed at first reading.
Since Service Canada announced its new gender-neutral directive, I've read and heard a lot of opinions (wholly from people who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth) about how "ridiculous" they find the directive to ask Canadians if they identify as Mr./Mrs. or mother/father (by extension, male/female/non-binary).
Here's the thing — this isn't a measure taken in service of people who have no problem being referred to by the gender they appear to have been assigned at birth. This is a measure being taken in service of transgender and non-binary Canadians, many of whom have likely long felt uncomfortable being referred to incorrectly, and many of whom may have been too nervous or exhausted to explain (judging from the landslide of negative reactions in recent days, including the Spec's own editorial comic, it's easy to understand that anxiety).
I'll never be able to get my head around people who want to oppose others' rights to safety, inclusion and non-discrimination. Unless the Spec can speak to (and meaningfully apologize for) its decision to run this cartoon, that includes this paper.
Amy Kenny, Hamilton
Cartoon played to transphobia
I'm disappointed by this editorial cartoon, which relies on and reproduces transphobia. I'm gender non-binary and I assure you that, while I can be hilarious, being gender nonconforming is not, in itself, hilarious. The federal government has a strong role in shaping society, and its recent moves toward gender inclusive language, however small, are part of making Canada actually safer for people whose gender identities, like mine, don't line up with the bodies they were born into. This cartoon is insulting and cheap, and doesn't pass as humour for me.

Commentary (Hamilton Spectator – March 26, 2018)
Tone-deaf cartoon made a mockery of LGBTQI2S+ community struggles
I finally had a chance to read my Spectator last Thursday on my bus ride home after a very long day at work. A day that had me listening on my headphones while working on my computer to fellow LGBTQI2S+ activists via Facebook Live. They held a news conference at The 519 Community Centre in the heart of Toronto's Queer Village and demanded a public inquiry into the Toronto Police Service's investigation of a serial killer who had targeted gay men.
They protested outside of Toronto Police headquarters and demanded the resignation of Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders for his mishandling of the investigation and victim blaming of the LGBTQI2S+ community. The message was clear, the lives of these murdered and missing gay men were not valued and hence the investigation into their deaths was not taken seriously until far too late.
On this same day I experienced a tone deaf, dismissive and damaging editorial cartoon by Graeme MacKay making a mockery of those in the LGBTQI2S+ Community who self-identify as transgender, genderqueer, gender nonconforming, or non-binary. In the cartoon an individual who presents as female is asked by a clerk at a Service Canada desk how they would like to be addressed. The individual gives a glib and flippant answer ending with "In Ms. Chatsworth's Gifted Class I went by Phil." (Continued)

Canada budget holds fire amid NAFTA clouds, focuses on women
Canada's Liberal government tackled long-term growth challenges on Tuesday in a budget aimed at boosting women in the workforce and diversifying trade, while keeping its fiscal powder dry in case of an economic shock like the demise of NAFTA.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau's third budget outlined slight deficit improvements without much in the way of new spending, refusing to blink in the face of U.S. corporate tax cuts and trade uncertainty that strike fear into Canadian companies.
"We will be vigilant in making sure Canada remains the best place to invest, create jobs and do business – and we will do this in a responsible and careful way, letting evidence, and not emotion, guide our decisions," Morneau said in a prepared budget speech.
The budget blueprint, which is bound to be implemented given the Liberal's parliamentary majority, maintained a C$3 billion ($2.4 billion) fiscal cushion each year to guard against any unexpected event that could hurt the government books.
Even with the cushion, the projected deficit in 2018-2019 declined to C$18.1 billion from C$18.6 billion forecast in October, a restrained target unlikely to have any impact on financial markets or the Bank of Canada's rate tightening path.
The loss of NAFTA would sideswipe Canada, which sends 75 percent of exports to the United States, and the decision not to slash corporate tax rates in response to the U.S. move puts Canadian companies at a disadvantage.
The unspoken bet is that Canadian exports will benefit from a roaring U.S. economy, even if business investment is lured away by the U.S. tax cuts. Canadian growth is already leading G7 rivals, spurring three rate hikes by the Bank of Canada since July, and the unemployment rate is near a 40-year low.
The budget did not address concerns that voters could come under pressure as rising rates increase the burden of record household debt, which the central bank has flagged as a risk.
Opposition Conservative leader Andrew Scheer blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals for maintaining budget deficits far into the future and adding to the national debt.(Source: Reuters)

#MeToo's moment on Parliament Hill suggests another way more women could change politics
The great unravelling continues. And as it does, it reveals the difficult truths about sexual misconduct by those who occupy the institutions of Canadian political power.
Beyond the question of what might be revealed next, there is the question of what must change to ensure this moment is never relived.
At noon on Monday, a day after another report of sexual misconduct allegedly perpetrated by one of its members, the House of Commons turned its attention to Bill C-65, legislation to implement new rules and processes for dealing with sexual harassment in federally regulated workplaces.
"We have been powerfully reminded in Canada and indeed around the world that harassment and violence remain a common experience for people in the workplace," Labour Minister Patty Hajdu said. "Parliament Hill, our own workplace, is especially affected."
She proceeded in greater detail.
"Parliament Hill features distinct power imbalances, which perpetuates a culture where people with a lot of power and prestige can use and have used that power to victimize the people who work so hard for us," she said. "It is a culture where people who are victims of harassment or sexual violence do not feel safe to bring those complaints forward. It is a place where these types of behaviours, abusive and harmful, are accepted and minimized and ignored."
Three hours later, MPs unanimously agreed to pass C-65 at second reading and send it immediately to a committee for further study.
The bill is, in Conservative MP Michelle Rempel's words, "a positive step in the right direction." But, in and of itself, C-65 "will not correct all the issues associated with the current state of affairs," she said.
So more must change, including perhaps the most obvious: the number of women who currently occupy seats in the House of Commons. (Source: CBC)

Canada pledges to boost women peacekeepers
Canada is also offering a total of $21 million to help increase the number of women in peacekeeping, including $6 million to help with reforms at the UN and $15 million for a new trust fund.
The fund is intended to help partner together countries with good female representation in the ranks with those that want to have more women in uniform, but are facing challenges.
The officials emphasized that such partnerships would only involve countries that are genuinely interested and willing to having more women in their militaries.
The new emphasis on women in peacekeeping and military operations comes amid growing international recognition of the real operational benefits that come from female soldiers in the field.
Canada will also make dozens of trainers available to the UN and other countries to help professionalize militaries from developing countries that are often involved in peacekeeping.
Some of those trainers will be deployed to UN centres in Africa, such as Kenya, Ghana and Uganda. But officials say up to 50 could also be sent to other countries, and may even deploy on missions with their students.
That would only occur, however, when the safety of Canadian troops can be ensured, officials said. (Source: CTV News)

How Green Could New York Be?
By Maria Konnikova
The goal of New York City (Steady) State is to figure out what an optimally self-sufficient N.Y.C. might look like.Courtesy Terreform
Michael Sorkin, a globe-trotting sixty-six-year-old architect, urban planner, and critic, has published fourteen books and has designed buildings and public spaces from the Rockaways to Abu Dhabi. Currently, one of his biggest projects is a large urban complex in Xi'an, China. Meanwhile, in New York, where Sorkin lives, he runs Terreform, a non-profit devoted to architecture that is both urban and green. Two years ago, Terreform began a project called New York City (Steady) State, which investigates the possibility of "urban self-reliance"; its goal is to figure out what an optimally self-sufficient N.Y.C. might look like. By concretely imagining an ideal city, the thinking goes, you make a better one more likely. How would such a city function? And what would it be like to live on its leafy and fruitful streets?
As we sat in his studio, on the twelfth floor of a Varick Street high-rise, Sorkin told me that (Steady) State starts with the notion that "the city is a raw space"; its blocks are considered to be "like stem cells: transmutable." Ideally, he explained, buildings could be repurposed to include vertical farms, with internal greenhouses, exterior scaffolding for hardier plants, and terraces for free-range animals. Rooftops could be covered with growing space, and solar panels could help offset the costs of keeping greenhouses warm year-round. If all of New York's food were grown within its political limits, the city's traffic would flow through an ocean of green.
Sorkin's team has spent the last six years working out the details of this vision. They've discovered, unfortunately, that it would take some thirty nuclear power plants to provide enough heat and light for all those urban farms. (You need a lot of agriculture to feed eight and a half million people.) They're now pursuing a more modest goal: figuring out how thirty per cent of New York's consumables might be produced within a hundred-mile radius of the city. Some food could be floated in on the Erie Canal; other staples could be imported in a sustainable way. New Yorkers drink more coffee than residents of almost any other city, and Haiti, Sorkin pointed out, grows enough beans to supply half of what we drink. Why not barter: coffee for us, and help with production methods for them? The principles of sustainable development could become one of New York's exports.
On a morning walk from his Tribeca apartment to his Greenwich Village studio, Sorkin gestured to a young tree on a previously treeless stretch of Hudson Street. Food, he said, is just one part of the equation for an ideally green city. "Trees sequester carbon, they provide ventilation, they give shade," he said. "We could easily lower the summer temperatures here by five degrees with more trees." One parking lane on each street, he suggested, could be converted to green space and used for gardening. It could even, theoretically, have a "pneumatic disappearing device" into which trash could be deposited. (The absence of alleyways in most of New York means that trash looms large on the city's sidewalks.) On Terreform's imaginary maps, it's possible to walk from the southern tip of Manhattan to the Bronx through islands of green. Urban greenery, of course, tends to appear in well-to-do areas. Sorkin believes that imagining an alternative, however idealistic it may be, serves an important purpose: "It gives you a more self-sustainable, more egalitarian vision of what the city could be."
The case for "green urbanism" has been building for more than a century, and it's always been shaped by the tension between utopian idealism and practicality. The core ideas were laid out in 1961, when Lewis Mumford, an architecture critic for this magazine, published "The City in History: Its Origins, Its Transformations, and Its Prospects." Mumford traced the evolution of urban environments from medieval times to modern ones and came out unimpressed with the present. The city, he wrote, had become dehumanizing. He wanted cities to be more unified with their environments. In an ideal urban landscape, economic considerations would be secondary to an organic relationship with nature.

Mumford's ideal city was localized rather than sprawling. It used clean energy. It had more trees and fewer cars. He was in favor of a version of the reformer Ebenezer Howard's "garden city," a proposal to create garden enclaves within urban centers. The garden city, Howard wrote, in 1898, was a marriage of town and country: "Out of this joyous union will spring a new hope, a new life, a new civilization." Mumford knew that the garden city was an impractical ideal, but he also believed that aspiring to it could have practical effects. In the early decades of the twentieth century, the idea of the garden city inspired planning projects in London and Berlin. In Mumford's time, its influence could be felt in the opposition to Robert Moses's plan for a four-lane highway through Washington Square (the highway was never built), or in the success of the Regional Planning Association of America—a group for which Mumford was a spokesman—in developing plans for the Appalachian Trail and for green-minded developments such as Radburn, in New Jersey, or Sunnyside Gardens, in Queens.
Many of Mumford's ideas have been overtaken by history: cities remain centralized, rather than localized; skyscrapers keep rising; cars keep multiplying. But his embrace of green urban design was prescient. Since then, numerous studies have shown that people fare much better, emotionally and cognitively, in greener environments than in purely urban landscapes. And, from an environmental perspective, no one doubts the need for greener spaces, smarter developments, and cleaner energy sources. Today, architects and planners around the world are thinking in terms of green urbanism. China, Sorkin said, has become an "urban laboratory for organic green design"—despite, or perhaps because of, its environmental woes. (It helps, he added, that China's government has so much power: fewer people complain if something radical is done.) In New York City, developments such as the High Line, the greening of Broadway, and Citi Bike are extensions of Mumford's vision. They add islands of green to the urban landscape while reducing traffic, which, he thought, atomizes the city.
Sorkin's mother presented him with a copy of "The City in History" in 1963, when he was just starting high school, and he credits its influence in the development of his career. But unlike Mumford, who was primarily a writer, Sorkin is also a practicing architect and a teacher. Since 2000, he's served as the director of the graduate urban-design program at City College. For his students, projects like Steady (State) are integral parts of the curriculum. Meanwhile, his architectural projects, such as the complex in Xi'an, are premised on the principles of green design. The Xi'an development uses the power of the Wei River for farming and energy production. In Turkey, he is working on a housing development that incorporates green roofs on all its buildings. They create energy and manage water runoff.
Still, as in Mumford's day, a vast distance separates Sorkin's imagined green utopia from present-day New York. As we walked up Varick Street, he pointed to the glitter of the N.Y.U. dormitories in the distance. "N.Y.U. is on a total kamikaze mission to destroy that area," he said. "They want to cram it all in, and it's a horrible, horrible plan." In a bid to keep something similar from happening uptown, Sorkin has submitted various proposals to make Columbia's uptown expansion as close to a Steady (State) alternative as it can be. It imagines green-roofed buildings connected by tree-lined walkways.
Sorkin is an optimist. He believes that, maybe not in two or even ten years, but at some future point, green initiatives will reshape New York. But he realizes that architecture, in itself, might not be enough to make those changes happen. "We as a body politic have a responsibility to protect the different qualities of a neighborhood," he concluded. And "the psychology of the city"—the way it thinks about itself—matters, too. It helps to dream big. "I love it when people of faith and good heart collude in this collective work of art we call the city," he told me, as our walk came to an end.

Q: How to fix Range function in Python? I am trying to convert MATLAB code into Python and am facing errors related to the range function of Python.
The entire code can be found here and I am working on Range Imaging code.
MATLAB code
Ts=(2*(Xc-X0))/c;
Tf=(2*(Xc+X0))/c+Tp;

n=2*ceil((.5*(Tf-Ts))/dt);
t=Ts+(0:n-1)*dt;
dw=pi2/(n*dt);
w=wc+dw*(-n/2:n/2-1);
x=Xc+.5*c*dt*(-n/2:n/2-1);
kx=(2*w)/c;

value of dt is 2.500000000000000e-09, n is 4268, Ts is 1.300000000000000e-05
Python
Ts = (2 * (Xc - X0)) / c
Tf = (2 * (Xc - X0)) / c + Tp

n = 2 * math.ceil((.5 * (Tf - Ts)) / dt)
t = list(Ts + (np.array(range(0, n-1)) * dt))          # tried using the solution in the comments
dw = pi2 / (n * dt)
w = list(wc + dw * (np.array(range(-n/2,n/2-1))))    # getting error here after trying same kind of solution
x = Xc + .5 * c * dt * range(-n/2,n/2-1)
kx=(2 * w) / c

The Python code throws the following error:

TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

A: Since you are coming from Matlab, you most likely want to use numpy for vector/matrix calculations. Lists in python cannot be multiplied like arrays in Matlab, but numpy arrays can. range will result in a range object, which you can convert to a numpy array, or you can directly use numpy.arange:
import numpy as np
import math

Ts = (2 * (Xc - X0)) / c
Tf = (2 * (Xc - X0)) / c + Tp

n = 2 * math.ceil((.5 * (Tf - Ts)) / dt)
t = Ts + np.arange(0, n*dt, dt)                  # np.arange(start, stop, step)

dw = pi2 / (n * dt)
w = wc + dw * np.arange(-n/2, n/2)           # not n/2-1 since stop is not included
x = Xc + 0.5 * c * dt * np.arange(-n/2, n/2)
kx = (2 * w) / c

A difference between Matlab and Numpy in this case is that Matlab will include the last value (i.e. interval [start, stop]) where numpy does not (i.e. interval [start,stop)). Meaning that you will have to use n*dt for the stop input argument.

A: The range function in Python returns a range object which is itself just a list. Lists cannot be multiplied with a decimal number, which is what you're trying to do: range(0,(n-1)) * dt.
But you could convert the range list to a numpy array:
t = list(Ts + (numpy.array(range(0, n-1)) * dt))

Your Sub-Committtee considered the question of accommodation for animals, such as rats and mice. The Architect pointed out that there will be no difficulty in providing adequate and suitable accommodation for rats and mice on the second floor of the Pavillion, when that Pavillion is built.
Your Sub-Committee then considered four proposals to provide temporary accommodation for animals (rats and mice). These four proposals were as follows:-
(i) Rooms in the basement, as shown in Professor Pearson's Sketch Plans.
(ii) The temporary use of the room on the second floor shown in the Architect's Plan as an Archives Room.
(iii) The Stables in Little Gower Place at present partially occupied by Mr. Barker for the Sub-Department of Heating and Ventilating.
(Note: It was ascertained from Professor Simpson that accommodation for Mr. Barker can be found in the basement of the Architectural Building.)
(iv) A temporary structure at the South end of the new building, between the end of the building and the present Porter's Lodge, such temporary structure to be erected over a permanent concrete floor, the concrete floor being ultimately incorporated in the Pavillion Building.
These four proposals were discussed at length. Professor Pearson having expressed his willingness to accept for the temporary accommodation of animals (rats and mice) either the whole of the Stables known as 23a Little Gower Place or a temporary structure at the South end of the new building, your Sub-Committee instructed the Architect to complete the Plans without providing any accommodation for animals in the basement.
Your Sub-Committee therefore leave it to the College Committee to decide which of the two alternatives (iii) or (iv) shall be adapted.
Edward H. Busk.
Appended to the Report is a summary showing the arrangements of the rooms proposed. The Plans of the proposed building will be on view in the College on Tuesday afternoon next, and on Wednesday.'

The document at focustestchart.com is very informative and helpful.
ensuring the camera is mounted at exactly 45 degrees on the tripod?
Don't worry about getting the angle exactly 45 degrees. I just eyeball the elevation angle.
It's more important to get lateral positioning and azimuth correct. If these are out of alignment a perfectly focused chart image will read front focus on one side of the chart and back focus on the other side of the chart. But even that alignment is not critcal. The best tool for ensuring lateral and azimuth alignment is the viewfinder grids. I always turn them on.
I'd post a link to a photo where I intentionally misaligned to the target but Pbase has been acting up for the past few hours.
the recommended procedure for fine tuning for infinity focus?
I just use a good sized house well down the block. Any wide open field with a big well lit target at the other end will do. Just make sure it and other objects beside it more than fill the focus bracket indicator. If something closer impinges on the focus area the AF may adjust to it's distance instead.
should one accomodate for this in the fine tuning process?
I don't have this lens but from what I've read there are some considerations to take into account when testing it.
I wouldn't rely on the chart to test this lens at it's short end. (under 24mm) The target area is a bit too small unless you are real close. You should do the overlay trick I describe in the last section of my ealier post. That will allow you to get further from the chart.
Also this lens exhibits field curvature below 24mm. The scales are out to the side and reading them could indicate a false front focus because of the way this lens's focus plane curves. Other lenses like my 18-70 would register a false back focus at it's short end because the field curves the other way.

Thompson testified that Cain went to a table where four men were playing dominoes and said "Give it up." Witnesses said Eddie Dean Scott, 56, of Autauga County, grabbed the shotgun, and Morgan allegedly came over and shot Scott in the head with the handgun, Thompson said.
Scott died later at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery. Al Seals Benson, 50, of Elmore County, was found dead inside the business with "shrapnel" wounds from the handgun to both legs, Thompson said. Smith made it outside.
Security camera footage from the Bee Line convenience store next door showed Smith, 46, of Autauga County, staggering into the frame holding his left side, Thompson said. Autopsy results brought out that Smith had been shot in the chest with the shotgun that was loaded with birdshot, Thompson said. Pellets lodged in his lung and heart, he said.
Smith fell down once, got up and continued to stagger toward the store, when he fell a second time, just in front of the doors of the business, Thompson said. He lay their motionless for a short time, Thompson said. Cain allegedly approached Smith as he lay on the ground and "shot him in the back of the head with the shotgun," Thompson testified.
In a prior interview, Chief Assistant District Attorney C.J. Robinson labeled the murders as "executions," and called the scene, "disturbing."
More:Official calls Prattville killings 'executions,' describes scene as 'disturbing'
Brad Ekdahl, Morgan's attorney, on cross examination of Thompson asked if gambling was going on at the barber shop at the time of the shootings. Assistant District Attorney Dan Cowell objected to that line of questioning. Booth sustained his objection. On follow up, Ekdahl asked if police had confiscated any money at the scene. Thompson said the $2,000 to $3,000 had been seized as evidence.
Kim Kervin, Cain's attorney, asked Thompson how he knew Cain was involved, since the shotgun-wielding suspect wore a mask through the entire crime. Thompson said follow-up interviews of witnesses and other people identified Cain as the second suspect.
Morgan and Cain had their hearings held separately. Booth ruled that probable cause exists to send the cases to the grand jury.
Morgan and Cain are charged with three counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and seven counts of robbery, courthouse records show. The attempted murder charges are in connection to a victim who was shot in each leg that night, but survived. They are each being held under no bonds on the murder charges, court records show.
Both Ekdahl and Kervin asked Booth to reconsider bonds, since capital murder charges haven't been filed. She said she would take the bond requests under consideration and issue a decision at a later date.
Capital murder charges are likely, Robinson has said, since the slaying were committed during a robbery, and the shootings resulted in two or more murder victims. Any upgrade in charges would likely come out of a future session of the Autauga County Grand Jury, Robinson said.

Belgium: Workers protest government's economic measures
7 November 2014 By Abi Giwa
Vehicles on fire on a Brussels street Courtesy: bbc )
Belgium workers are protesting government's decision to freeze wages, raise pension age and make public service cuts to align with EU requests. The striking workers comprise steel workers, teachers and dock workers.
About 100000 workers, comprising teachers, steel workers and dock workers, went on a peaceful protest demonstration in Central Brussels that later become violent,, and the police responded to using tear gas and water cannon.
Workers described government's plans against workers as a blow to workers and the unemployed and reportedly set vehicles on fire; threw flares and stones at law enforcement agents. 50 people sustained injuries and police arrested 30 people.
The protest is said to be the beginning of one month of strikes organized by the trade union, to be climaxed with a national strike on December 15.
Like it has been witnessed in Ireland, where government has justified imposition of water rate due to economic reasons, the government in Brussels under Prime Minister Charles Michel has said the austerity measures the workers are protesting are imperative to check budget deficit.
Government's position has been countered by representatives of the workers union that they understand the government needs the money puts at about $11 billion, but that the unions have been been consistent in telling the government to seek the money elsewhere and not from workers's pockets.

Search for the Last Queen of Egypt
Cleopatra the last Queen of Egypt at the Franklin Institute
In Museum News
From Communities Washington Times
The Franklin Institute, a center for science education with hands-on exploration for children and adults presents "Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt" through January 2, 2011.
The Franklin Institute is located in the Parkway Museum District is located in the City Center area were visitors will find Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Academy of Natural Sciences, the world class Rodin Museum, the main branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, particularly important as Ben Franklin founded the first free library in Philadelphia (1731.)
The last great Pharoh of Egypt, Cleopatra lived from 69-30BC. Previously lost to the sands and the sea, her city and palace, built by Ptolmey II (300 B.C.) have been found in the Bay of Aboukir. Many artifacts found on the ocean floor from her royal palace as well as the lost city of Heraclieon and Canopus, the religious center of the region are now on display.
Imposing in their size and power are the two 16-foot tall figures of a Ptolemic King and Queen from the Temple of Amon at Heracleion, an ancient city near modern day Alexandria.
Making a search extending back 2,000 years in history even more difficult is that Egypt's Roman conquerors attempted to rewrite history by destroying all evidence of her existence and her romances with both Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, assignations that were as much about romance as they were about aligning Egypt with political power.
Your visit starts with a brief movie, which introduces two men, Dr. Zahi Hawass, archaeologist and Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities and Franck Goddio, underwater archaeologist and director of IEASM. These explorers are looking beneath the sea and into the warm sands of Egypt seeking the final resting place of the elusive queen.
Stepping beyond what is believed to be a statute of Cleopatra's body (the head is sadly missing) visitors walk into the ruins of ancient Alexandria and are able to see, quite closely, the very artifacts that once populated the Queens castle and court.
The presentation is as interesting and impactful as any I have seen. It is also reverently quiet as people listen to the personalized audio tour where the "voice" of Cleopatra narrates your journey centuries back in time.


iPad Any way to view iPad apps on laptop?
Discussion in 'iPad' started by emdh, Jan 13, 2013.
I got an iPad for Christmas, but after using it for several days, wasn't convinced that I'd get enough use out of it. I'm used to using my MBP to watch movies and surf the internet, even when not at my desk. So I think the Mini would make more sense for me, since that would be a distinct difference as far as size/portability. But I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger yet. Will probably wait for the next generation model since I'm not in a hurry.
So my question is .... I bought an iPad magazine subscription before I took the iPad back, and now that I'm without an iPad, I'm wondering if there's any way I can access it on my MPB, or, can I transfer that purchase to a friend's iPad so I can read it on hers?
Would appreciate any feedback/ideas. Thanks!
You would need to use your apple ID on your friends ipad to use it.
As for a laptop, I not think it is possible.
OP, you will need to sign in to the App Store with your Apple ID and then download the magazine app to your friend's iPad.
And no, it's not currently available for viewing on a Mac.
If you want to cancel it, go to your account in iTunes and look for 'Manage Subscriptions'.

On Bilingualism, Bias, and Immigration: Our Top English-Learner Stories of 2019
By Corey Mitchell — December 31, 2019 2 min read
Education Week's top English-language-learner stories of 2019 explored who's teaching the nation's English-learners and the struggles those educators encounter on the job, examined why more schools in the United States are embracing bilingualism, and delved into how the Trump administration's immigration policies affect students, families, and educators.
1. The Value of Bilingualism
The Truth About Bilingualism: It's Only for Some Students
The spread of the "seal of biliteracy"—a seal affixed to the diplomas or transcripts as official proof that students can speak, read, and write in more than one language—raises a question: bilingualism for whom? English-learners and students from low-income families may be on the wrong side of an opportunity gap, with their chances to demonstrate their bilingualism restricted by their circumstances.
For more reporting and reports on the seal of biliteracy, you can read these stories:

2. English-Learners and Special Education
Overlooked: How Teacher Training Falls Short for English-Learners and Students With IEPs
Many English-learners and students with disabilities spend lots of time in general education classes, but teachers lack training in how to meet their needs.

3. Who's Teaching the Nation's English-Learners?
Wanted: Teachers as Diverse as Their Students

4. Migrant Children and Immigration
How Schools Are Responding to Migrant Children
Educators in schools across the United States work to support migrant students who've recently arrived from Central America. But former Education Week correspondent Kavitha Cardoza found that the intensity of their needs can be a strain.

5. Bias and English-Learners
Do English-Learners Get Stigmatized by Teachers? A Study Says Yes
New research suggests that English-language-learner classification has a "direct and negative effect on teachers' perceptions of students' academic skills."

LeBron James' records near triple-double as the Los Angeles Lakers extend road win streak to 13 with thrilling victory vs. the Miami Heat
Written By Kane Pitman
@KanePitman
In a game that lived up to the billing, the Los Angeles Lakers held off the Miami Heat, 113-110, to improve to 23-3 on the season.
Jimmy Butler had a chance to tie the game in the dying seconds, but his three-point attempt from the right corner bounced off the rim and time expired, ensuring the Lakers secured the win.
Here are some takeaways from a night that delivered some monster performances.
The LeBron and AD show continues
During the first quarter, James was the ball handler in a pick and roll with Anthony Davis. After setting the screen, Davis rolled into a pack of Miami defenders, James simply threw the ball in the air and Davis rose up and dunked the ball with authority.
Everybody knew what they were going to do and it simply didn't matter. It's been like that all season long for the superstar duo, who have wasted absolutely zero time forming incredible chemistry on the floor.

— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) December 14, 2019
James finished with 28 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists, while Davis had 33 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.
Completely controlling the game on the offensive end, they mixed their usual paint efficiency with the outside ball in this one, combining to shoot 8-for-17 from beyond the arc.
Another night, another dominant performance on both ends for the Lakers MVP contending pair.
One streak continues while another one ends
Heading into this game, we knew one streak was going to end.
Miami were 11-0 at home, while the Lakers were carrying a 12-game road winning streak.
Bron provides the punctuation.
(📺: @SpectrumSN) pic.twitter.com/U20MkESilh
With the loss, Philadelphia are now the only undefeated team at home in the NBA, as they currently carry a 14-0 record in the comfort of their own building.
For the Lakers, the 13-game road winning streak is the second longest in franchise history. They won 16-straight road games way back in 1971-72, as a part of their 33-game overall winning streak.
The legitimacy of Miami
Although they lost, the performance by Miami was an impressive one, and further cements their position as one of the contenders in the East.
Jimmy Butler was outstanding on both ends of the floor with 23 points and four steals, though his 0-for-5 shooting night from beyond the arc including the potential game tying shot proved costly.
HIS LEFT STROKE JUST WENT VIRAL! pic.twitter.com/F4aIik7C4H
— Miami HEAT (@MiamiHEAT) December 14, 2019
The question remains whether the Heat has a legitmate second scoring option against elite teams, and those questions will remain after Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro combined to shoot 13-for-35 from the field for 32 total points.
The rookie trio have been sensational to this point in the season, but one has to wonder whether they will be able to sustain the high level of play across the course of an 82-game regular season and playoffs.
This is by far the biggest reason why the rumours will continue to swirl around the Heat as potential players in the trade market.

At the Aug 29th meeting, our Church Council appointed a Transition Team, whose "job" will be to work with the Interim Pastor to carry out the Vision Process. The Team represents what Council feels is a "good mix/balance" of the congregation in terms of current/recent church involvement, as well as gender and age and outlook. The group includes people who volunteered to serve—who put their names in to be considered by Council, as well as people whom we approached and asked if they were willing to be considered. The Team will begin meeting in September, and one of their first tasks will be to set the dates for the 4 "Whole Church" Congregational meetings (2 in the fall, 2 in the Winter/Spring) where people will be asked for their input. The input given—combined with prayerful reflection on Scripture and demographic material–will lead to: a Vision for Ministry, Goals for carrying out that Vision, and a Profile to help the church search for a Settled Pastor, whose gifts and skills match the Vision.

When it comes to insight, no one can match those under the Rat sign. Though most Rats have no advantage in personal appearance, they feature a precise insight and always can tell the subsequent development with just a single glance.
Is it a merit? Of course, because the kind-hearted Oxen are always tolerant and helpful, which is a merit not owned by others and always brings them good luck unexpectedly.
No one can compare with Tigers when it comes to the planning ability. When other people are still aimless, the Tigers have already made a clear plan, thus succeed in something easily.
Despite of the limited talent and intelligence, Rabbits are the most enduring among the animal signs and they can always do things that others cannot insist on and achieve goals that others cannot achieve. With the best endurance, they live happily.
For the same word or deed, Dragons always do better than others in a more magnificent way since they have are more prestigious than others. In a group, the Dragon people tend to play the leading role and stand out with their good temperament.
Born with the grace, Snake people feature the unique elegant demeanor, usually in appearance and physical feature, which is envied by others.
According to Taoism, vigor is the most important for human beings. Horses are talented in vigor and they are more energetic than anyone else. Horse people are never tired and keep struggling forward. This is what the Chinese saying goes: the vigor of a dragon or horse.
Sheep people are blessed and more talented, either in reading or writing, than others. In brief, they boast a superior poetic ability in literature.
Even at a low time of life, Monkeys can rise up suddenly when they find new chances and renew their energy to take more rounds: this is a merit peculiar to Monkeys.
Roosters are more artistic than others in music and fine arts. Though not outstanding, they still can be brilliant in the field.
The most prominent feature of Dogs is their adaptability. Seemingly simple and clumsy, Dog people are actually quick-witted and adaptable, and they can always seize the opportunity to solve the problem as per objective situation.
The strongest point of Pigs lies in their posterior strategy. Though inferior in the earlier stage, they are explosive in the later period. Great minds mature slowly – this is the best description to them.

Transforming a Culture for Safety and Quality
The Comprehensive Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship, created in 2001 by the American Hospital Association and the National Patient Safety Foundation, helps organizations embed evidence-based practices and inspire change.
Cynthia Hedges Greising
Building a culture of safety is an enduring commitment that health care organizations embrace to achieve the highest levels of quality. It requires that caregivers, medical staff, and leadership interact with patients and one another to provide care systematically in the most effective manner.
The Comprehensive Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship, created in 2001 by the American Hospital Association and the National Patient Safety Foundation, helps organizations embed evidence-based practices and inspire change. To date, 322 health care professionals representing 188 organizations have participated. Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, Conn., and Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, N.J., are leveraging CPSLF participation of multiple leaders to improve patient safety.
Shared Learning and Complete Participation
Patient safety culture has shifted, says David E. Shapiro, M.D. "It's not simply about process anymore; we must focus on outcomes, value and safety." Saint Francis' associate director, trauma and critical care, Shapiro was in the 2011-2012 CPSLF class. His action learning project — a key component of the fellowship — focused on decreasing ventilator-associated pneumonia in the ICU. "Ventilator bundles are clearly defined, but hospitals don't adhere to them," Shapiro observes. After determining bundle compliance was low, Shapiro's department educated staff and made sure that everyone was on the same page and aware of results. Saint Francis posts infection rates on units.
Getting rid of the hierarchy concept is important, Shapiro believes. "It's impossible to have success without complete participation and cooperation from the board, administration, nurses, physicians, custodial and ancillary staff. We're providing exceptional care at every level," Shapiro asserts. Saint Francis encourages staff to participate in multiple endeavors, including the CPSLF. "A hospital has to send key people who not only evolve as agents for change, but also set a good example," Shapiro suggests. Four Saint Francis employees have participated in the CPSLF.
Total Engagement and Culture Transformation
In northern New Jersey, Valley Hospital had a blip up in medication errors one month in 1995. Michael Mutter, director of patient safety, reviewed reports and realized "there was no analysis of the reports, just numbers." This event became one of the hospital's turning points. "Our culture needed to change if we were to believe information is knowledge and encourage staff to report occurrences rather than fear reprisal," he explains.
Mutter and two colleagues participated in the CPSLF's second class. The experience provided coaching from top-notch faculty and a network of fellows "who were living and breathing the same situations we were, whether it was dealing with personality types, overcoming silos or learning how to work through challenges," Mutter observes. "We learned a language to speak when dealing with the same problems."
Valley's performance improvement committee transformed from six or eight people to 60 or 70 people attending standing-room-only meetings. Staff would listen to presentations and say, "We want to do that in our unit." Valley now has seven teams that meet monthly and annual performance improvement days to share projects. "It's important to recognize, teach, bring out your message and post your work in public areas," Mutter says. The 17th and 18th Valley staff members are current CPSL fellows.

Results of diversity survey
"Diversity and Disparities: A Benchmark Study of U.S. Hospitals," recently released by the Institute for Diversity in Health Management and the Health Research & Educational Trust, highlights hospitals' strategies to reduce health care disparities and increase diversity in leadership and governance. In 2011, the institute commissioned HRET to survey hospitals on their approaches to providing equitable care. A summary of the results, this study will help hospitals as they continue working to improve quality of care for all patient populations and expand leadership diversity. Go to www.hpoe.org/diversity-disparities.
Report on ACO readiness
HRET recently surveyed hospitals to assess their readiness for the development of ac-countable care organizations. "Hospital Readiness for Population-based Account-able Care" gives a snapshot of the state of the field and provides hospital leaders with a tool for assessing their organizations' current capacity to engage in ACOs. It is the first report to describe participation of hospitals in ACOs and their current capabilities. Support was provided by a Commonwealth Fund grant. For more information, visit www.hpoe.org/accountable-care.
Health care leader insights
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of its TRUST Award, HRET has released "TRUST: Meeting Our Mission 2003-2012," featuring remarks by past recipients. David Lawrence, Don Berwick, Brent James, Gail Warden, Janet Corrigan, Bob Brook, David Satcher, Glenn Steele, Atul Gawande and Maureen Bisognano share insights on team-based care, innovation, controlling costs, quality and end-of-life care, among other topics.

The Role of the Pathologist in Diagnosis, Quality, and Patient Safety


4709Saturday morning Patti and i woke up and she asked, what do we have to do today. I really thought we didn't have anything to do. well, ended up having to take Hannah to puppets at church, so i thought i could use the time to catch up on some stuff at church. Well, then Patti ended up finding out that Rachel and Brice had some water trouble at there house, so i came looking for a shopvac. While i was doing that patti was messing with Janie's car. I walked over and found out they were looking for the smell in the car. Ended up being a posum caught in the fan belt. ok so we got that done and then went over to rachel's house. there closet and bedroom carpet was soaked. Went to the back of the house and the water was obviously comming out from the waterheater built into the back part of the house. so we ended up having to cut the pipes to get the waterheater out. Trying to reassemble the pipes after about 2 hours of looking for the size we needed, found out it was CPVC piping we were looking for. the only people who told us that was the lady (of all people) at mccoys. Actually everyone there was really helpfull and knew what they were talking about. I'm going to be doing alot more shopping there first. Did that upuntil around 5 or 6, then we went to the house. Randy made a bunch of food and had a bunch of people over. it was fun to hang out but by 1am i was ready for bed. Going back to Rachels and Brice's to finish up today after church. then i'll catch up on the work i have to do here at churh after that.

What Hairstylists Know About Domestic Violence
By Caitlin Moscatello
Photo: Petek ARICI/Getty Images
Manhattan hairstylist Chris Mitchell says his clients talk to him about all sorts of things. Sometimes the conversation is light: what they should wear to an event that night or updates on family members. Other times, it's more serious. "I've had clients speak to me about somebody being verbally abusive to them, or even someone being physically abusive in the past," says the stylist of 20 years. In addition to cuts and colors, Mitchell acts as a sounding board for the women who frequent his salon—some two to three times a week.
"A lot of times, I feel like they can't talk to their girlfriends without being judged," he says. But helping people experiencing abuse can be a tricky area to navigate — a chapter not taught in beauty school. "They don't prepare you for the mental aspect of what you might deal with."
New York State Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal is looking to change that with a bill that, if passed, would require salon professionals to take a domestic-violence-and-sexual-assault-awareness course so if a client shares that he or she is being abused, stylists know how to react. The specifics of the training are still being developed, but if it mirrors a similar course in Illinois created by the domestic-violence-awareness campaign Chicago Says No More, it will teach stylists the right way to support and acknowledge a client who discloses abuse, and also how to delicately direct them to resources for help. For instance, "You say things like, 'I believe you. You are courageous to say this,'" explains Sheila King, a member of the steering committee for Chicago Says No More and the Task Force for Salon Professionals.
You say things like, 'I believe you. 'You are courageous to say this'.
Statistically speaking, odds are high that at least some clients will be victims: One in three women experience physical abuse at the hands of an intimate partner in their lifetime, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence; and in New York City, almost half of all female homicide victims were killed by an intimate partner, according to reports from both 2008 and 2015. The thinking goes that if stylists can refer even a few clients to a hotline or program for victims, there's potential to have an impact — even save lives.
Lawmakers are focusing on salons specifically, due to the close contact stylists have with clients. Part of this may seem like a stereotype — that people divulge their most personal secrets to their hairdressers. But the stylists interviewed for this article say that for clients they see regularly, that's very much the case. There's also a physical closeness that stylists have with the women who sit in their chair that's different from, for example, a bartender lending her ear. "They are licensed to touch you. Not many people are," says Rachel Molepske, director of leadership and charitable programs for the Professional Beauty Association, whose nationwide Cut It Out program has been teaching stylists how to spot the signs of domestic violence since 2003.
"I do think the salon is a space where we might hear something [about abuse], before somebody else would," says Maria Alvarez, a hairstylist at Fox and Jane salon on the Upper West Side. "There's something about human touch, where we are allowed to interact with our client's head and hair — just think about that. I remember when I was first becoming a hairdresser, friends of mine would tell me stories I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have told me otherwise. And I was like, Huh? Something is really happening here."
"[The bill] takes advantage of a situation that happens all the time, which is clients confiding in their hair stylists," says Rosenthal. "Some people are skeptical about that, but people confide all sorts of things in their stylists. They're not family. They're not a friend. But they are an acquaintance you have a bond with."
The bill is similar to an Illinois rule that went into effect earlier this year, and if Rosenthal is successful in getting it passed, New York could become just the second state to formally treat beauty professionals as a resource for victims. (There are currently at least 12 other states also considering similar legislation.)
For now, only hairdressers would be required to undergo the training. For one thing, many manicurists in New York City are immigrants, which Rosenthal says may present a language barrier. But the biggest hurdle is alleviating concerns about over-regulation. As Michael Polenberg, VP of Government Affairs for Safe Horizon, a New York–based nonprofit that assists victims of abuse, explains, "To the extent that this bill is seen as unfunded mandate on small businesses, there will be some pushback." But, he adds, "Victims services is a fairly nonpartisan issue."
State Senator Bill Cunningham, who worked with Chicago Says No More to develop the legislation in Illinois, says a similar concern came up when the rule was presented in his state last year. "We were able to argue back that it's a very small measure of regulation, and there's a much greater good involved," he says. It passed the State Senate unanimously and only two lawmakers voted against it in the House.
Robert McMillen, co-owner of Mildred barbershop on the Lower East Side, doesn't see it as a major burden for employers. "If we are speaking about it logically, it's a one-hour course," he says. McMillen does, however, suggest that online training would be a better option for busy professionals. "[But] when it comes down to that date creeping up, we would probably be like, 'Man, this course, is it even worth going to?' And I think I'm someone who would be more receptive to it than most."
Another issue raised in Illinois came from professionals in the industry worried about liability: "They were afraid if a woman came into a salon, and told the salon professional about being a victim, and then that salon professional failed to take any action, that the professional could be in some way held responsible," says Cunningham. To address this, immunity language was added saying that workers don't need to get involved unless they want to — there's no punishment for saying silent. And the goal isn't for stylists to play detective.
Professionals are taught that, "You don't ask probing questions. You wait for someone to volunteer this information, and then you listen, provide sympathy, and if you want, provide them with some sort of referral," says Cunningham. "The idea is not to have the salon professional act as a therapist." Though the legislation relies heavily on clients disclosing that they're being abused, what if a stylist suspects abuse without receiving verbal confirmation?
Cut It Out addresses this scenario in its training, says Molepske; stylists are trained to go through what she calls the "three Rs" of domestic violence — recognizing signs of abuse, responding appropriately and safely, and referring a client to professional help. "We go through scenarios where [clients] tell us point blank they are abused, and we go through scenarios where you have an inkling," she says.
We go through scenarios where clients tell us point blank they are abused, and we go through scenarios where you have an inkling.
The "inkling" factor is perhaps the most challenging. "I can think of a situation that's recent where I had a long-time client, a female client in a same-sex relationship, come in with a cast, cuts, and bruises," says McMillen. "I had a good enough relationship to say, 'Whoa, what happened?' She said she fell down a flight of steps, which can be a cause for concern. It's a run-of-the-mill explanation for what happened. However, noticing that and thinking that I could ever determine that those cuts and bruises seemed consistent with abuse? I think that's near impossible." Reading a situation wrongly, or interjecting when it's not welcome, are also concerns from a business perspective, he says. "The fear of overstepping a boundary, which could then be damaging to you as a professional, is difficult."
When it comes to domestic violence, "Salons are one of the places that people can go without their abuser, as well," says Molepske. In other words, the salon setting might be one of the few places a victim can be alone to ask for help, and from someone who isn't connected to her family or friends.
Lily Morales, a makeup artist and survivor living in New York City, says her abuser — a man she was romantically involved with for almost three years — was an exception. When she got her hair cut, "He would sit there until I was done," she says. This type of controlling behavior may be a red flag stylists can spot with the right training. In Morales's case, she never spoke up, and her abuser's controlling behavior escalated. Six days after she ended their relationship, he showed up at her apartment with a knife. "He stabbed me many, many times," she says. 'He slashed my face. He slashed my throat."
Today, she still has scars from the attack, and she's open about her story on Facebook — which sometimes allows her own clients to open up to her about abuse in their lives. She also hopes that her story can serve as a lesson to others. "My hairstylist told me a story about a woman who went to her salon the other day to fix her hair, because her husband cut it off as a way of punishment," says Morales. "She mentioned what happened to me, that she should take action, that she should leave him. But if she had the information in her hands, maybe she could have said, 'You should think of calling this place and get some guidance on how to get out of this relationship.' Just telling her 'leave him,' sounds easy, but it's not. It's not easy."

To assess skin issues, we carry out a computerised Visia Complexion Analysis, which takes 3D images to capture key information about skin texture, pores, wrinkles, bacteria, sun damage and red areas.
The deep tissue analysis allows us to look deep beneath the skin's surface so we can tackle any unseen problems before they reach the surface.
The images, along with other information about you, mean we make informed recommendations and, importantly, we can refer to them to check how your skin is improving.
