Imagined Potentialities of Healthcare Technologies
Nina Boulus-Rødje
This paper will focus on health care technologies and initiatives, particularly, Electronic Health Records (EHRs). These technologies are ascribed various potentialities, attributing them the capacity to do a wide range of things, from improving efficiency to saving medical costs and even saving lives. These complex and often conflicting imagined potentialities lead to inflicted burden on designers, policy makers and healthcare practitioners who are faced with different realities on the ground. The conflicting notions have real life effects as these impact our present understanding of, and actions taken toward, these technologies.To better understand the material and discursive processes that are at play in shaping our present and future understanding of EHR technologies, the paper offers the analytical notion of imagined potentialities, whereby a technology is imagined to possess an inherent capacity to produce a change. The term potentiality has a long history in Western philosophy, in particularly in Aristotle's metaphysics where he distinguishes between potentiality and actuality. Potentiality refers to the capacity that a thing can be said to have; the capacity to come into existence, to produce growth, development, etc. The adjective imagined is added to convey the resources of imagination that are at play in shaping futures of healthcare technologies. These are derived from the world as it is but also as it is imagined to be.I argue that imagined potentialities can re-instantiate themselves regardless of whether they become actualized. It is precisely this partial realization and presence of an absence that can carry a forceful generative power both to support—but also to halt—innovation projects. In the case of EHRs, absence of the envisioned dramatic cost reduction or quality improvement in care keeps people engaged in continuous efforts of reproducing the project instantiations. Gradually, what the EHR technologies actually do or do not do become to some degree less significant. In other words, that which is imagined can be transformed into real. Finally, imagined potentialities can have other transformative effects, including transcending the time in such a way that future visions are presented as tangible and accomplishable.

So! Looks like another Power Dampener won't be easy to find. Our team has taken to the air in search of The Annihilator and The Platinum Priestess. And Fluke has a few questions about the current plan. Is it going to be an army life for our Young Protectors? Or will they be left cheering from the sidelines?


Our goal is to help preserve as many of the endangered heritage breeds as we can. This is just one reason we chose Chocolate Turkeys. Because we focus on raising endangered heritage breed livestock, we went to The Livestock Conservancy's website to research heritage turkey breeds.
We raise heritage breed chickens, so adding heritage breed turkeys seemed the natural thing to do. Raising turkeys is more challenging than raising any other poultry. We didn't choose Chocolate Turkeys because they're made of chocolate, which would be a good reason indeed. Our reasons were more personal.
Before the Civil War, the Chocolate Turkey was the turkey breed of choice in the south. This was especially so in our old stomping grounds of West Central Louisiana and Central Mississipi. Because food became scarce the turkeys were eaten, killed in battle, and their breeders were lost to the war.
This created devasting destruction for the breed. Even now, they're still on the "Critical" list with the ALBC. Most of today's Chocolate Turkey flocks have some Bronze, Bourbon Red, or Narragansett in their DNA due to the decimation of the breed. This doesn't mean they aren't a heritage breed according to The Livestock Conservancy which accepts them as a true heritage breed even though the APA doesn't accept them as a pure breed.
I'm sure you already guessed their name, "Chocolate", comes from the color of their feathers, shanks, and feet. They are all three a solid milk chocolate color when the bird is mature. Even though they're considered the largest of the heritage turkey breeds, they're known for their gentle nature.
One of the things I like about turkeys, don't get upset with me, better than chickens is they imprint with their people much like geese do. I have a friend I call Mother Goose because of the strong bond her geese have with her. Our Chocolates imprinted with me and enjoyed turkey conversations.
We were also attracted to the chocolate turkey because they produce more meat than most of the other heritage breeds. A mature tom averages 33 pounds while the hen averages a mature weight of 18 pounds. They're dressed weight is 24 to 28 pounds for the tom and 14 to 16 pounds for the hen. The hens are also excellent mothers which make preserving the breed on the farmstead practical.
According to the ALBC, a heritage breed must meet 3 qualifications.
They must breed naturally. We all understand what this means. It's interesting to note a heritage breed turkey must have naturally mated grandparents and parents.
They must be able to endure a lengthy, natural, outdoor reproduction system. A breeding hen is productive for 5 to 7 years on average. A breeding Tom is productive for 3 to 5 years on average.
They must have a slow growth rate. It takes a heritage breed turkey 28 weeks to reach its marketable weight. The slow growth rate gives them time to develop their skeletal system and internal organs so they can handle the weight of their muscle mass.
Once we ordered the poults, I tried looking for information to see if I needed to do anything different for them from chicks. I was shocked to see there simply isn't a great deal of information available. Since they are more fragile than chicks, I wanted to be prepared. Maybe I'll write a book on it!
I was able to determine the temperature needs to be 5-10 degrees warmer than it does for chicks the first couple of weeks. It's also better for them to have their food and water elevated to neck level. Other than these two small differences, they are brooded pretty much the same as chicks.
We ordered 15 Chocolate Turkey poults. Three died within the first two days. The stress of shipment and shipment injuries killed them. By the 7th day, I had lost 5 more poults to respiratory problems due to shipment stress. This is why I will change the way I purchase any new bird for our farm. You can read more about it in Caring For Mail Order Chicks.
I was sick at heart but determined to do all I could for the remaining 7. They made it to the outside in what I thought was a healthy state, then it happened.
I had an excruciating experience with the turkey poults. One I've never had in 30+ years of poultry keeping or since. It was the dastardly disease, coccidiosis. We lost 5 turkey poults to this disease. I learned a great deal from the experience. Of the 15 we ordered, we had a healthy 16-week old tom, Cocoa Roo, and a hen, Crazy Cora.
When you have turkeys, you're never bored. When they're learning to fly, they would fly over the fence on accident. Oh! You've never heard such commotion like when they're separated. I was always running out to catch and "rescue" whomever was over the fence.
Once they learn to fly, it's no holds barred. Turkeys come and go as they please unless you have a covered pen. You'll fall in love with these birds every day.
We had 15 Speckled Sussex chicks arrive three days before the Chocolate Turkey poults. There are some notable differences in chicks and poults.
Turkeys are slower to learn to eat and drink. With chicks, you dip their beaks once or twice and they've got it. I had to show the turkeys how and where several times before they began eating and drinking on their own.
Turkeys are extremely sensitive to environmental changes when poults. When you're cleaning out the brooder or even their yard they let you know they're not happy about it. If you move the food or water, you have to show them where you moved it to a couple of times.
Any change in temperature, sound, or light will be precipitated by them letting you know they aren't happy about it. Once they get around 6-8 weeks old, they are resilient and inquisitive.
Poults are much more inquisitive than chicks and become attached to their humans. You'll notice this from about 3 weeks of age. At around this same time, they'll start perching and roosting. I was amazed at their instinct and ability to flutter and perch at such a young age.
They are louder and more vocal than the chicks. Turkeys want to talk to you, sometimes for extended periods of time. If you're outside and don't acknowledge them, they'll get louder and louder until you do!
I read that turkeys are kind of "simple minded, almost stupid." I believe this may be true of domestic turkey breeds, commonly called commercial breeds, but not heritage breeds. Chocolates are smart, independent thinking birds.
While they free range with the chickens, roost with them, and eat with them, they seem to know they're different. You'll notice they will almost always flock together, like birds of a feather! Couldn't resist.
If one flys up or out, it will call to the others until they join them or until the calling one gives up and joins the others. They are so funny. Toms like to "boss" the hens by strutting and gobbling, in his best big boy voice. She likes to ignore him.
The tom will begin practicing his strutting as early as 6 weeks of age, but by 9 weeks, he's ready to strut his stuff. The first time I saw it I squealed with joy causing him to stop immediately. Around 13 weeks of age they begin perfecting their grownup gobbling and other communication techniques.
Turkeys pretty much do what they want to do. If the gates are closed and they want to free range, they simply fly over. When it's time to go to roost, they may be on the roost, they may not. I believe this goes back to their instincts which tells them to roost up high at the end of the day wherever they may happen to be.
After they were about 20 weeks old, she would go to roost in their turkey tower my husband built for them. Sometimes he would be there, but usually not until after some coaxing. He knew where we wanted him, he just didn't want to do it unless I made him.
The main reason you'd want them to roost in a particular area is so the hen will feel safe in the coop so she'll lay in her nest. You don't want to have an egg hunt to find her laying spot. Turkeys are very good at hiding.
Turkey hens begin laying later than chicken hens. She won't begin laying until she is about 8 months old. She also won't lay as often as a chicken. Heritage breed hens will lay an egg every 3-5 days. On average 100 – 150 eggs a year.
We are sustenance farmers, which means we provide food for ouselves from our livestock. They are not our pets. A lesson we carry on from my grandparents it that if it is meant for the table, it doesn't get a name. We'll eat those birds not chosen for breeding purposes.
Building a sustainable breeding flock of heritage turkeys takes time. You have to be selective in which birds are kept for breeding. You only want the strongest, healthiest, most productive birds to keep the flock alive.
Do you raise heritage breed turkeys? Do you have a favorite breed? I'm sure you know by now, our favorite breed is the Chocolate turkey.

FALL 2017 READY-TO-WEAR
By Amy Verner
Whenever Yohji Yamamoto's shows are accompanied by a guitar playing aimless melodies—a little country, a little blues—you can be sure that's the designer himself. This time, he added simple, sincere lyrics along the lines of, "I like your cheeks; I like the way you smile; I like your voice; I like the way you smile." Note no mention of clothes, as Yamamoto evidently knows better than to confuse heart and soul with an asymmetric black shirtdress. But among the reasons why this collection consisted primarily of black garments draped, folded, tucked and twisted with a high degree of idiosyncrasy was because, "I wanted to find new emotions, new silhouettes," he explained post-show. Regarding the former, do new even emotions even exist? The latter, however, came to life with horizontal book-page pleats, dimensional ruching, and contoured wrapping. And to hear Yamamoto tell it, the two pursuits were inseparable. He used "prohibitive" before switching to "unusual" to describe the techniques. With all that work now behind him, he said, "It was very difficult; but it was big fun."
Such enthusiasm permeated the clothes, albeit in an unreadable way. With Alicia Keys in the audience—apparently, she had been eager to attend—one was inclined to consider which looks she might single out. The zip blouson and tucked skirt could be an obvious option, or else the perfecto-style jacket with a ruffle plastron and carrot pants. Both looks had elements of the familiar compared to others which suggested impulsive swaddled gestures. But a final grouping of unstructured, irregular shirt- and coatdresses re-established Yamamoto as a fine minimalist. And whoever developed the dressy matte black Adidas boots deserves a shout-out for such a sleek upgrade.
As for the frequent critique that once you've seen a handful of the designer's all-black looks, you've seen them all, that simply is not true—and not just because of the hints of dyed gray and secret language of threads. Paint applied randomly to pleats and leggings cast the pieces with artistic expression, even though Yamamoto qualified that it was principally a reaction to the predictable outcome of prints. "I'm not going to use prints from someone else anymore," he declared. "I can¹t stop painting." Nor should he, and that goes for the singing and designing, too.

"We are now at Phase 6! Global Pandemic!"
"Global Pandemic Kills 80% of World Population!"
Series premier 22 June 2014 on TNT.
Coming to TNT Summer 2014 : http://www.tntdrama.com/series/the-la…
Their mission is simple: Find a cure. Stop the virus. Save the world. When a global pandemic wipes out eighty percent of the planet's population, the crew of a lone naval destroyer must find a way to pull humanity from the brink of extinction.
Executive Producer Michael Bay presents The Last Ship, a post-apocalyptic action drama series, starring Eric Dane, Rhona Mitra and Adam Baldwin.
I watched the first episode and the action is quite good. The naval and helicopter warfare scenes are very well done. It is quite obvious, just in the first episode, that they are selling (psyop): "We need a Vaccine to save the world!".
The whole movie is Illuminist predictive programming: an unknown airborne virus outbreak in Cairo, Egypt spreads rapidly across the world and kills 80% of world population. Global chaos rules: "Russia no longer has a functioning government! Most of our population is dying or dead!"
Through the first episode, the question is asked: "Is this natural or a bio-weapon attack?".
The Last Ship (TV series) Wikipedia
The Last Ship is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series based on a novel of the same name by William Brinkley. In May 2013, the cable network TNT placed a 10-episode order for the series.[1] The series premiered on June 22, 2014, at 9:00 p.m. EDT.[2][3] On July 18, 2014, The Last Ship was renewed for a 13-episode second season.[4]
Premise[edit]
After a global viral pandemic "wipes out" over 80% of the world's population, the crew (consisting of 217 men and women) of a lone unaffected U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-151), must try to find a cure, to stop the virus and save humanity.[5]

There is certainly no doubting the performance of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and this time it comes with a new bang! Apparently, the new Samsung flagship has the best display which could possibly have been on a smartphone. Dr. Raymond M. Soneira's findings in the latest DisplayMate report were all related to quality, performance and overall satisfaction of various displays on the market's top-tier handsets. Among all the phones studied throughout the survey, the best performing screen belongs to the Samsung Galaxy S5. And Samsung must be pretty psyched to hear that it has received a heart touching comment by Dr. Soneira who says that S5′s display is the best that he has ever tested.
A lot of work was put into the making of this Samsung flagship and certainly it has paid off at this moment and this marks the success of the most popular phone of the time. Though there a lot of upgrades but as it appears, the new flagship surprisingly does not contain any significant increase in physical display size or resolution. This might leave us all wondering how the phone managed to get the best display results of all time. Well, this was achieved not because of the display size or the resoltuion but because of the collective efforts being put in by the company for the fine tuning of its already impressive AMOLED technology. This has helped them to achieve improvement in areas of viewing angles, display brightness, power efficiency and color accuracy and this work has surely paid off.
Though LED is the new platform for the smartphones at the moment but Samsung has done execptionally well with its OLED displays in S4 and now with the S5, this OLED technology has been taken to a whole new level. It performs better for the S5 and also shows higher marks in almost "every single test and measurement category" that the devices were subjected to.


The 2014-2016 Program Mentors, also known as Pride of TUF, gathered with the TUF family on 8 July for a graduation party. The graduates had fun playing games and unwrapping "presents" prepared by the Year-1 Program Mentors. The room was filled with laughter and some tears of joy during the speech from the directors, their personal coach and Winnie the former Director of Operations, who sent encouragement from across the Pacific Ocean. Pride of TUF agreed that joining TUF was an excellent decision, as it was a springboard for them to bring positive changes to education in Hong Kong.
The end of a journey marks the beginning of a new one. We wish Francesca, Hazel, Kevin and Michelle a bright and meaningful life.

To ensure that you are receiving the best inventory service possible, our processes are continually reviewed, improved, and adapted to meet our customers' needs. In fact, our process was created with input from insurance agents, insurance adjusters, accountants, financial planners, and attorneys, ensuring that we are providing an approved report for these various professional industries, as well as our clients.
Confidentiality is guaranteed. Our concern for the security of client information is a priority, beginning with the first phone call.
What if my schedule doesn't allow time for your inventory service?
We realize that everyone is extremely busy, so our inventory process was developed to keep our time on site to a minimum. We are certified, bonded, and insured, giving our clients confidence in our honesty and integrity. Many of our clients go to work or run errands while we complete the inventory; after all, this is one reason people hire us – because they don't have the time to do it themselves!
What do I need to do to prepare for the inventory?
Absolutely nothing! However, if you have jewelry or other items in a safe deposit box or other off-site location, you might want to have them available so we can capture this information. We will be happy to create a digital record of your appraisal forms or certificates of authenticity as well.
This is one of the most common questions, and our answer is – Absolutely not! Tidiness is of no concern to us. Don't feel that cluttered or disorganized closets or garages need to be cleaned. Once you've made the decision to invest in this important household or company inventory, it's best to have it completed as soon as possible. If you had a disaster, we are sure you would rather have a picture of a cluttered or dusty area than have no pictures at all! Don't delay!
Are you bonded and insured? Licensed and certified?
Yes, we are insured and hold a business services bond. The personal property inventory industry does not have a licensing structure. Certification is not required of contents inventory providers, but we have chosen to be certified through the National Inventory Certification Association. This is just one example of our focus on customer service and professionalism.
We will arrive on time! You will be given an overview of the process before we begin, and encourage questions prior to starting and during the inventory process. If you want to remain with us the entire time we are in your home or place of business, we welcome you to do so. If you prefer to go about your daily routine, that's OK with us as well – it's your house or business, and totally up to you.
Do you inventory attics, unfinished basements, and storage buildings?
Our standard inventory service is for the garage and living areas of the home or occupied areas of a business. We do, however, as a courtesy to our customers, enter easy-to-access on-site storage areas to take photos of the items for visual documentation if requested.
We can complete a more detailed inventory of items in storage areas based on an hourly rate. If time permits, this can be accomplished on the same day. Depending on the extent of the project, a second visit might be required.
Do you inventory contents of homes and businesses only?
No, we also document the contents of rental and vacation homes, storage facilities, barns, construction trailers, boats, RVs, churches, schools, college dorm rooms, government offices, and more – any location where your personal property is located.
Our standard process is for you to complete the pricing information once your inventory is delivered. After you fill in the values, we will add them to your report at no additional charge. An exception is estate settlement inventories, for which we do establish the fair market value of the estate's contents.
Do you offer any other services besides inventories?
An optional pricing service is available. With your assistance, we will complete the values of items, most often as a second step, after your inventory portfolio is completed.
Another service we offer is documenting the condition of buildings, mainly for the benefit of either the landlord or the tenant of rental property. Information is recorded prior to move-in or immediately after a move-out. Photographs and a Condition of Structure report are provided.
If all of your questions haven't been answered, please call or email us.

Welcome to our annual High Impact Giving Guide, designed to help donors make a bigger difference with their philanthropic gifts.
In the beginning pages of this guide you'll find eight high impact opportunities handpicked by our team and analyzed for evidence of impact and cost-effectiveness (pages 5 to 12). With each opportunity, we provide background on a specific cause, an organization working effectively in that space, ways to contribute to the charity, and additional organizations doing similar work.
This year our analysts focused on organizations working with society's most vulnerable—and arguably forgotten—people: those recovering from substance abuse, hard-to-reach communities lacking access to basic healthcare, and students at various stages of life at risk of being left behind.
In some cases, many of these individuals are considered among the hardest to help. The programs and organizations we profile demonstrate daily that it can be done. The opposite page, for example, describes how one group helps those with substance use disorders get access to temporary emergency housing, medical treatment, and meals. A donation of $50 can provide emergency shelter and food to someone at risk of dying from addiction.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose, and the rate of OD deaths is five times what it was 20 years ago. This crisis disproportionally affects rural areas of the U.S. where philanthropic attention has been historically low. In this piece which originally ran in 2017, Stephanie Fuerstner Gillis, Strategy Advisor for Giving Compass and Senior Advisor at the Raikes Foundation, discusses the severe shortcomings of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program (DARE) — and how funders can truly make an impact in this area. The Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP) lists four strategies for lifting the burden of substance use disorders, including improving access to evidence-based treatment and funding innovation for prevention. In the latter case, CHIP recommends proven programs such as the Harm Reduction Coalition, which advances support for clean needle distribution and the overdose-reversal drug naloxone nationwide. At the community level, Prevention Point Pittsburgh and Prevention Point Philadelphia are nonprofits that provide health empowerment services to drug injection users. My colleagues at Giving Compass know that my blood boils when I think about well-intentioned generosity that is wasted on organizations that are ineffective. In 2016, Attorney General Jeff Sessions put the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) back in the news, and that's not good news. The AG spoke at DARE's annual training conference in 2017, where he noted that, "DARE is ...the best remembered anti-drug program today … We know it worked before and we can make it work again." Unfortunately, he's got it wrong. What we know from research and evidence is that DARE did NOT work, and in some cases, it actually did harm. Two tales related to drugs: Both lack substantial evidence Both DARE and opioids as painkillers are examples of interventions that scaled with little or no research on their impact. Opioids were embraced and spread as low-risk treatment options for pain based largely on a small study of 38 patients who got very low doses, and a five-sentence letter to the editor published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The letter shared the results of an analysis of roughly 12,000 patients who were given small doses of opioids by physicians in hospitals and concluded that few of these patients experienced addiction. It was used to justify prescribing these drugs to patients, sending them home with bottles of pills, where doses could not be regulated. Thus, nearly 183,000 people (and counting) in the U.S. have died from overdoses related to these drugs, and this country is in the midst of an addiction crisis of epic proportions. The story of DARE is best captured in this piece. Chances are, at some point in your life, someone has asked you to contribute to DARE (or will). If you search for DARE on Giving Compass, you'll see that DARE America reports close to $6 million in annual revenue. The program still runs in nearly 85 percent of public schools across this country, which is a travesty. It's not just the frustration or waste of giving to something that doesn't work that is problematic; it's also the opportunity cost. There are so many high-performing, top quality organizations, and programs that struggle to scale (see the Social Impact Exchange or GiveWell for examples of great organizations you can support with confidence). How do you know the organizations you are giving to are effective? LEARN: Ask the organizations you support to show you the evidence and also search for evidence by yourself. Strong organizations are strong because they are committed to delivering on outcomes and will be able to explain to you the research they do to understand their effectiveness. Not every nonprofit can or should invest in costly evaluation research, but every one of them should be able to explain to you the connection between the work they are doing and the evidence that their work will lead to impact (if they do it well). Then, they should be able to show you that they measure the quality of their own work. CONNECT: Join a giving circle. If you have some time and want to learn about philanthropy while giving, consider joining a giving circle or collaborative. This is a great way to meet others who care about the same things or places you do, while also learning together. TAKE ACTION: Feel free to be a free rider. If you don't have the time to learn about the organization, or don't feel comfortable assessing the quality of an organization's work, there is no shame in being a "free-rider" and piggybacking on someone else's due diligence. Consider pooling your money in a fund managed by someone with expertise in the area you care about who is sourcing and doing proper due diligence on quality opportunities on that issue. We feature issue funds on Giving Compass (a few are up and we're adding more soon). You also can look to a funder you admire and trust, to see where they are giving. If it is a foundation, these data are often shared on the foundation's website. You also can go to Guidestar or Charity Navigator and look at the foundation's 990-PF tax return — inside the return, you can see each and every grant it awarded. There are many examples of things that have been scaled without evidence, but DARE has become the poster-child, for a good reason. Follow three simple steps when guiding your journey — learn, connect, take action — and you will avoid organizations that, like DARE, were created with a noble goal but failed to deliver on the promise. _______ Original contribution by Stephanie Fuerstner Gillis, Strategy Advisor for Giving Compass and Senior Advisor for the Impact-Driven Philanthropy Initiative at the Raikes Foundation.
Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is challenging in its own right and even more grueling for women, as traditional treatment programs rarely take into account the additional burden of pregnancy or caring for children. On page 6, we detail how one program helps women and their children heal together by housing the children onsite and providing both parenting as well as youth services. A $75 donation provides one month of career services while $500 pays for three months of individual counseling sessions, both critical supports that help a mom and her children move on to more stable, healthier lives.
Donor dollars, when supporting the right efforts, can transform people's lives and communities. On pages 7-9 we feature three different organizations using community-based approaches to deliver healthcare. While distinct in their own right, these organizations deliver care to communities that are isolated due to physical distance, cultural discrimination or extreme poverty. Partners in Health on page 9, for instance, manages complex chronic diseases such as HIV or emerging infectious threats like Ebola through cost-effective home visitation programs and support groups. A donation of $100 can provide essential community-based care and nutrition for a malnourished child in Haiti, while $700 can provide a woman with full breast cancer treatment.
As in past years, we've updated our Disaster Relief guidance (page 13) emphasizing once again the importance of philanthropic support for long-term recovery efforts. This year, in addition to featuring specific organizations, we've also included profiles of two program models that allow donors to focus on the kind of advocacy and coalition-building that can create even greater, population-level impact (page 18).
Read the full guide at Center for High Impact Philanthropy.
If you are looking for opportunities to take action and give money to Disaster Relief, here are some Giving Funds, Charitable Organizations and Projects aggregated by Giving Compass where you can take immediate action.

New US Envoy pledges support towards electoral reforms
By Sipilisiwe Ncube,
Daniel Foote
Newly accredited United States Ambassador to Zambia Daniel Foote says he is looking forward to supporting Zambia's efforts in bringing together the political spectrum to agree on important electoral and constitutional reforms.
Speaking when he presented his credentials to President Edgar Lungu at State House yesterday, Ambassador Foote also said the US government would continue supporting Zambia's development projects.
"I look forward to further strengthening the U.S. – Zambia partnership to help continue the development and protection of Zambia's greatest asset, its people. The Embassy devotes significant resources, via numerous agencies, to increase economic prosperity for both of our nations. The U.S. is Zambia's largest bilateral donor. But our ameasure of success is the lasting partnerships and development advances made in Zambia. At World AIDS Day events on Monday, Zambia demonstrated its commitment to working with international partners, including U.S. PEPFAR, to make people's futures healthier and more prosperous. I was moved to see the extensive progress of U.S.-Zambia collaboration on overcoming this epidemic, supported by over $3 billion of U.S. assistance in Zambia's health sector. We are engaged in reform and expansion of Zambia's energy sector. We work with U.S. firms to provide technology and know-how for Zambia's agricultural sector. I am excited about the additional opportunities we will forge together between Zambia's and the United States' private sector. I look forward to supporting Zambia's efforts to bring together the political spectrum, to agree on important electoral and constitutional reforms as part of Zambia's commitment to strengthening governance and institutional independence," said Ambassador Foote.
"Zambia also takes its regional responsibilities seriously, and we will continue to support Zambia's dedication to regional engagement, whether through your military's peacekeeping operations or welcoming policy toward refugees. As Ambassador to the Republic of Zambia, I would very much welcome frequent, productive, and candid dialogue with you and senior members of your government as we work in the spirit of true partnership, friendship and mutual respect to further grow our broad partnership in the areas of trade and investment, education, health, energy, and governance."
Ambassador Foote was appointed as US Ambassador to Zambia on November 20, 2017.
He is today expected to go back to the United States and return to Zambia in January 2018.

Managing a rental property is a time consuming business, finding suitable tenants is only the start.

This includes the lodging of bonds to Tenancy Services, loading of daily rents received, payment of accounts and dispersal of rental monies twice a month being the 15th and 31st of each month.

The scene is a night club in Berlin, as the 1920's are drawing to a close. The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Cabaret. His songs provide wry commentary throughout the show. On the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young American writer, and Ernst, a German who surprises Cliff by putting his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is in the process of being made. Musical numbers include It Couldn't Please Me More, Willkommen, Cabaret, Don't Tell Mama and Two Ladies. We find Cliff on the train again, now leaving Berlin alone. He writes about Sally and the people of Berlin leading up to the Third Reich. It has been a tumultuous and heartbreaking era. Photos by Ricardo Cook and Tim Poitevin.
PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES
Kimberly McFerron (Sally) So happy to be joining the SSR gang again and beyond thrilled to be playing the role of a lifetime!!! SSR credits include: The Rocky Horror Show (Janet) and Joseph... (Potiphar's Wife). Other Seattle credits include Pump Boys and Dinettes (Renton Civic/Bellevue Civic), Sundays at Tiffany's (Village Theatre), The Magic Flute (Seattle Opera), The Drowsy Chaperone (Seattle Musical Theatre). AMDA NY graduate. Such a huge thank you to Troy, Josh, Mark, Jen, and the amazingly fierce cast I get to play with every night! Here's to yet another adventure with Curly & Squish.
Carol Richmond (Schneider) Carol is thrilled to be making her debut at SecondStory with Cabaret! She has previously performed in Tacoma, Olympia and Renton. Favorite roles include Bubbie in Crossing Delancey (Renton Civic Theatre), Kate Jerome in Brighton Beach Memoirs (Capital Playhouse), Golde in Fiddler on the Roof (Lakewood Playhouse) and Vera Charles in Auntie Mame (Tacoma Little Theatre). Huge thanks to Troy for this opportunity and much love always to Elizabeth and Taylor.

Paul Gauger (Herman) For the past four years Paul has studied classical singing and performance with instructor Erich Parce, his focus being in opera.

Quaff
=====

Quaff is a set of tools for integrating Elixir into erlang applications (or vice versa).

Quaff.Constants
---------------

This module parses erlang header files, and imports any constants as `@` attributes. A constant means a `-define` macro which evaluates to a constant term, and takes no arguments (though it may use macros which accept arguments).  Constants whose names start with a capital letter will have an underscore prepended, for compatibility with Elixir syntax.

app/include/app_header.hrl:

    -define(CONSTANT_FROM_APP,5)

lib/mymodule.ex:

    defmodule MyModule
       require Quaff.Constants
       Quaff.Constants.include_lib("app/include/app_header.hrl")

       def myfunc() do
         @_CONSTANT_FROM_APP + 10
       end
    end

Quaff.Debug
-----------

The Debug module provides a simple helper interface for running Elixir code in the erlang graphical debugger, using the technique I described in [this posting](http://qhool.github.io/elixir/2014/02/06/elixir-debug.html).

    Interactive Elixir (0.12.2) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
    iex(1)>  Quaff.Debug.start() #start the graphical debugger
    {:ok, #PID<0.59.0>}
    iex(2)>  Quaff.Debug.load("./lib/mymodule.ex") #load all modules in source file
    lib/mymodule.ex:1: redefining module My.Module
    lib/mymodule.ex:212: redefining module My.OtherModule
    [module: My.Module, module: My.OtherModule]
    iex(3)>  Quaff.Debug.load(Yet.AnotherModule) #load a module by name
    {:module, Yet.AnotherModule}

Also provided is `nload(module)` (equivalent to `load(module, all_nodes: true)`), which debugs the module[s] on all known nodes.

Lots of sound advice here, Lucy.
'Work hard and get out of your comfort zone to spark creativity' resonated, particularly getting out of your comfort zone.
I'd always considered Write drunk, edit sober to be metaphorical, rather like King's version, Write with the door closed, edit with it open. King isn't talking about a physical door, and I doubt Hemmingway (if it was him who said it) meant one should write while pissed.
Completely agree with you about not belittling addiction, or romanticising the use of alcohol or drugs to enhance creativity.
It's a good historical question as to how much Hemingway actually followed his own advice. Though there's no question that Papa Doc enjoyed the spirits and also liked to frequent bars, it seems to have been his habit to refrain from drinking until the day's work had been done.
On the other hand, his co-patriot and writing buddy F. Scott Fitzgerald was an incurable alcoholic, who was rarely sober. This is well documented in the Movable Feast. Nonetheless, Fitzgerald then turn out some decent novels, despite his handicap.
