Betty Ann Caudillo of Blackwell, Oklahoma, died early Friday morning, April 5, 2019, at her home southwest of Blackwell at the age of 74 years.
Betty Anne Paige Caudillo was born to Arthur and Gladys Hammond Paige on September 13, 1944 in Doniphan, Missouri. As a young girl, Betty moved with her family to Blackwell, Oklahoma where she attended the public school system. Betty was the youngest of nine children. Betty adored her father and idolized her brother Donnie.
After graduating from Blackwell High School, Betty married Jesse Caudillo on February 19, 1963 in Blackwell, Oklahoma. They made their home in the Blackwell area. Jesse and Betty began growing their family in 1964 when they welcomed their first son, Eric Quinn into the world. They welcomed their second son, Erin Kurt into the family in 1966. Their family was finally complete with the arrival of their only daughter, Christi Ann in 1970.
Betty worked for a time as a seamstress at Southwest Cupid. She then became a homemaker and focused on caring for her children and her many grandchildren that were to come. Her first grandchild was born in 1985 with several following soon after. Betty was a doting grandmother who found time to spend special moments with her grandchildren, Sean, Katie, Tiffany, Brittany, Kayla, Darian, Jordan, Kristin and Gabriel. Each of her grandchildren often spent the weekends with her, visiting the local donut shop, drinking coffee and listening to Betty as she talked about her life growing up.
Betty possessed many different skill sets. She was a skilled seamstress, often creating works of art for her children and grandchildren to wear, along with home interior designs and special gifts. Betty was an amazing cook, often preparing family meals for holidays, birthdays, and family get-togethers. Betty was often found outside on the "farm", doing random chores, whether it be climbing on a ladder to touch up paint or trim tree limbs, or working in her numerous flowerbeds and gardens. Many of her grandchildren found solace working alongside her.
Betty was preceeded in death by her father, Arthur; her mother, Gladys; five sisters, Aletha, Alleen, Ethel, Nina, and Mary; three brothers, Melvin, Bobby and Donnie; and one grandson, Sean Caudillo.
She is survived by her husband, Jesse Caudillo, of the home; two sons, Eric Caudillo, of Blackwell, Erin Caudillo and wife Amanda, of Blackwell; one daughter, Christi Jones, of Blackwell. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, Katie and Matt McConnell of Blackwell; Tiffany Caudillo and Jennings Gabriele of Stillwater; Brittany Caudillo of Braman; Darian Dyer of Blackwell; Kayla and Jaron Dowell of Stillwater; Jordan and Teri Jones of Tonkawa; Kristin Neilson of Odessa Texas; Gabriel Caudillo of Blackwell and Trinity Meil of Blackwell. Betty is survived by eleven great-grandchildren, Matison and Hadley McConnell; Tinsley Gabriele; Seth, Daylen and Zack Hallman; Aston Dyer; Preston, Tegan and Tatum Jones; and Eli Franco.
Services are scheduled for 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 9th in the Roberts and Son Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in the Blackwell Cemetery.
Casketbearers will be Jaron Dowell, Jennings Gabriele, Herman Paige, Jordon Jones, Jim McBride and Matt McConnell.
A memorial has been established in her honor with Blackwell Associated Charities in c/o Roberts and Son Funeral Home, 120 W. Padon, Blackwell, Oklahoma 74631.

Seeds to be planted soon
Last month was perhaps cold for many, but when we look at the calendar to plant things we can see that it is a great time to start planning what vegetable varieties will be grown in the garden. Having the flue now I am remembered of those who should have planted them end of January. Loving lots of green and colours in the garden I also know that now is a great time to get your spring flowers germinating and ready for spring! There are many different varieties of annuals and perennials with different grow times, which need your attention to grow times so that your flowers are ready to be planted after last frost. Below are some good varieties to start in January for a last frost in March and April!
Annuals: Zinnas, Marigolds, Geraniums
Perennials: Rudbeckias, Daisies, Poppies, Coneflowers
For those who want to plant vegetables February is the month, though the cold does not seem to invite us to come outdoors.

When we choose our seeds or plants it is important that we look at them not being 'festered' with. Man has come to love to play for god and to create all new sorts of plants. Genetically manipulated plants are something we should avoid at all cost.
When people muddle with the plants we can see the disastrous consequences. Last Summer the harvest did show her grim face in Dunklin County where conveyor belts teem with peaches inside the packing facility at Bader Farms, where fruit is prepared for shipment from its Bootheel source to stores across a nearly 500-mile radius were seriously worried.
Of the 900 acres of peach trees that fill Bill Bader his orchards, some have limbs that are almost entirely defoliated, while countless others have tufts of leaves that are crinkled and yellow, or remain green but are full of holes.
"That's why you come out here and look at them early in the morning, 'cause you don't wanna think about them at night,"
Bader said, surveying a field of peach trees.

Investigators from the state Department of Agriculture came to look at the matter.
We believe we should be much more aware of drift or spreading of chemical, taken in the wind but also by ground waters. Dicamba, a drift-prone herbicide suspected of causing widespread damage to crops in south-eastern Missouri and beyond can be the cause of many problems.
Bader had to face the farm's typical harvest of 5 million to 6 million pounds being reduced by 40 percent in 2016, as trees with withered or missing leaves have borne smaller fruit. Bader reports that almost 10,000 other trees mustered only walnut-sized peaches not even worth picking. He says the shortfall will amount to a loss of produce of $1.5 million to $2 million. He is not alone, there where more than 100 complaints of drift.

And this gets me back to my flue. Man manipulating nature and using chemicals which should not be in nature bring so much damage and often forget that it spreads like a virus. Infections by pesticide and pollution do not stop at the borders of a field. The borders of a piece of land are crossed like nothing. Before we know it many areas are infected.
These infections we have their seed in the greed of man to produce more and more, bigger and bigger, no matter of taste made him scrupulous and not thinking of next generations. Man has man has ruined his surroundings and has inflicted the environment terrible damage.
But not only there. The seeds several parents sowed by the kids are not the ones our society can be proud of. Many seeds lacked the manure of faith and without the good fertile soul and compost they could not grow properly. Many youngsters became infested by the capitalist society where there is no place for the Divine Creator and where not many can find an eye for that creation of the Most High. Many of the seeds parents, educators, preachers, ministers and priest sowed did not come into the good soil.
Today we can see that lots of soil has become very hard, without any love for the other. The soil of many youngsters is a stone of a heart which has become hard and gives the impression to be unworkable. Politicians may try to make the hearts even more hard and closed for others who have much more difficulties than we, but we should know that the hearts of those the politicians try to blind can be softened.
The same sun that hardens clay softens butter.
Coming in a period that we are going to prepare the garden and that agricultures are doing the preparation work for the harvest, we too should come to do our preparation work for the Most High. We have to start to select the good seeds and to look for the good soil and/or to prepare the less good soil to become productive.
Like we do have to take more care over our environment, mother earth, we also should start taking more care of our spiritual surroundings.
The Winter of mankind has to come to an end. We have to look forward to be ready for the Spring of man and to be strong enough for the big storms which shall come unto our way.
Like seeds take longer to germinate and plants grow more slowly when air and soil temperatures are cool we have to take care that we create a good atmosphere and a good temperature to talk about God and to show people the Way to God.

Looking at man's closest friend
When we look at those who walk on the street we can find many more people who start looking like a lot of people from over the Atlantic Ocean.
Every October 24, thousands of events all around the United States of America bring Americans together to celebrate and enjoy real food and to push for improved food policies. On that day they have a 'Food Day' which has to inspire Americans to change their diets and their food policies. Nutritionists generally recommend eating a wide variety of foods; however, some groups of people survive on a very limited diet whilst others think they need to eat as much as possible of all sorts of stuff. The theme for 2016 was "Toward a Greener Diet."
That Greener diet is something what lots of Europeans should be looking too and why they were afraid for the American trade agreements. But having heard the bad news Donald Trump becoming the president, Europeans will have less fear they have to come to accepting the genetically manipulated products and seeing TTIP not going through.
But back to the four legged friends. Today we want to present Bailey who is a basset who likes sustainability and his boss Hannah who is a writer who likes bassets.
Like for human beings we can see that their four-legged friends often also could use some specific allowance or selection of food, esp prescribed to control weight or in disorders in which certain foods are contraindicated.
As a dog, that basset may not have a whole lot of food options
–it's dry, brown meat-flavored bits day in and day out (with the occasional apple slice or piece of dropped chicken thrown in there). {Jump on the Local-motive!}
Fritz (Marcus Ampe his Shetland Collie)
My Shetland Collie (Fritz) also to be happy with his dry brown crackly little bits of three different brands (two per day, at night always the same brand) and around the end of year some extra special health food to calm him down for the fireworks
Sometimes we can see the look in our dogs face
Why not for me?
He looking jealous for us, human beings, having an endless choice of nice looking dishes and great smelling products.
We ourselves do keep to as much as possible natural products and not much meat or fish. Our dog receiving more meat, dried lamb and dried chicken with his dried vegetables, every day, and when, in the season, we eat some wild meat (wild boar, roe deer, deer and pheasant) he is happy to receive some 'real' pieces of cooked meat (a big treat).
Like we try to limit the ecological footprint Bailey's boss is also aware of the urgent need to look at where we get our food from.
Living in Asheville
There are about 1,000 reasons to choose local food when you can (that's 7,000 in dog reasons), but I've got some napping to do in this lovely autumn sunlight, so I'll give just a few of them here. {Jump on the Local-motive!}
I wonder how Baily was settling in to watch the outcome of this presidential election which could some of the European tummies turn around. Though on their site it was noted
Something to ponder–why is it so many candidates don't list their views on the environment? Is it that they don't care? Is it that it's not important enough to voters for them to feel the need to do it? {America! – Great debate} (I love the picture of the dog with the Gaelic ale by her article)
Baily who likes sustainability also loves apple slices, like my dog, and sleeping on the couch. But mostly he wants to talk to you about sustainability. So perhaps it is not bad those from far away would also give him an ear and listen how he's going to tell all about different sustainability projects happening in his town – greenways, community gardens, eco-houses, all kinds of great stuff.
And with every post I'll share an easy sustainability tip that you can do right away. {I'm Bailey…}
Carnivore Bailey who can hardly preach vegetarianism, but wants to shed a light on his and the humans their way of eating and handling nature
Being a very health-conscious basset he is well aware of the average American diet which is contributing to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems – problems that land them in the hospital and cost Americans more than $150 billion per year.
Now having a man coming to steer the nation, who himself is not one of the leanest, but wants to have the American products on the first line, he and we can wonder how he is going to tackle all the pollution, the emission of the US companies he want to stimulate their production.
That other 'carnivore' becoming president who does not like to listen to others perhaps also listens to Bailey who knows that
a meat-heavy diet takes a terrible toll on the environment.
On the basset's wise site you can find that he/she has written
Cattle on a pasture in Germany
about before, large-scale agriculture has a huge carbon footprint, and livestock farming is particularly hard on the environment. Four-fifths of the deforestation across the Amazon rainforest (where some of my more exotic cousins like the capybara and the golden lion tamarin live) could be linked to cattle ranching. Factory farms where pigs and other livestock are kept in very tight quarters can produce as much sewage waste as a small city (that's a lot of poop!). On those farms they use lots of antibiotics to keep the animals healthy, but using those antibiotics creates antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria – bad news for humans and bassets.{Happy Food Day!}
More than half of the Shetland catch by weight and value is Mackerel. Shetland Islands Council (2010) pp. 16-17 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
For the better or the worse, the Americans and the rest of the whole world shall have to face a new president of the United States of America, who made his money by not being conscious about the environment and not willing to have an eye for the welfare of humans let withstand animals, so curious how Bailey and other animals in that world which made their choice these last few hours, shall look at the next coming four years, though at his first speech after it was known he would be the next president he mentioned
"two, three of four years"

we have to achieve a decarbonised economy by 40 years from now.
Carbon energy consumption = destroy our relationship with the planet, if we don't carry out radical changes to the way we use energy + the type of energy we use from now on.
At the current rate, the planet's temperature might rise by 5 ˚C or even more by the end of this century, i.e. to levels not seen before on Earth for at least 30 million years.
Conceptual science predicted and measured GHG in the atmosphere long before now and there's evidence that El Niño and La Niña events are more frequent now.
we need to make radical changes to the way we use energy and the type of energy we use, everywhere in the world and in every sector = Energy efficiency easiest way to start.

KWEEN G
Kween G (Kibone) was born in Uganda, East Africa . Kween G's father sought political asylum in Australia and when Kween G was 4 years old, the family emigrated to Sydney. Attending primary and high school in Australia, Kween G was raised on a steady diet of African music and Reggae, but growing up with three older brothers she was introduced to the culture that would captivate her for life: Hip Hop.
Kween G toured extensively throughout Australia on the festival and club circuit with her original Hip Hop duo Killaqueenz, and released the album Sistarhood through Central Station Records in 2009. Sistarhood features high profile local artists such as Spit Syndicate, Ru C.L., Vida Sunshyne, Lady Chann from London and Buff1 from Detroit. KillaQueenz were the first female duo in Australia to showcase hard-hitting rhymes over a fusion of Hip Hop, Reggae, Dance and Bass music. Their beats were produced by Australian artists, Katalyst and M-Phazes and South Rakkas Crew known for their work with Diplo and Mad Decent.
In 2010, Marrickville Council voted her Young Citizen of the Year, a prestigious honour that rewarded the essential community work that Kween G undertakes. Kween G regularly participates in workshops with Beyond Empathy, an NGO that uses arts genres such as film, digital and mixed media, theatre, music, dance and visual arts to build relationships between inter-generationally disadvantaged young people, local support agency staff and the local community in 13 locations across Australia.
Working as a solo artist, Kween G has maintained a high level of community engagement with young Indigenous teenage girls from Warramangu country in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory. She made yearly visits with the NGO, Beyond Empathy and then with Barkly Regional Arts she facilitated their 2013 Lady Beats project. LADY BEATS was a twelve-week project focusing on girls in Tennant Creek, providing them with skills in singing, lyric writing, recording and performance. Kween G was hired as the trainer and mentor for the twelve-week period, working with the girls on a daily basis to build their technique and skills.

Open Letter: Beck Responds to Criticism from Muse Band Leader Matthew Bellamy
"I wish I could leave well enough alone and just be quiet..."
Editor's note: On Friday, Muse front man Matthew Bellamy gave an interview to The Observer where he criticized conservative politicians in America for requesting to play their hit song "Uprising." Beck has been a vocal fan of the band, but when Bellamy was asked about his conservative following in America he called it "weird" and claimed that right-wing libertarians were hijacking his songs and the "conspiracy theory subculture" to take down Obama.
Dear Matthew,
I read your comments in the Guardian via Rolling Stone last week and feel like with a little work we could better understand each other.
As uncomfortable as it might be for you, I will still play your songs loudly. To me your songs are anthems that beg for choruses of unity and pose the fundamental question facing the world today – can man rule himself?
In the Venn Diagram of American politics, where the circles of crimson and blue overlap, there's a place where you and I meet. It's a place where guys who cling to their religion, rights, and guns, connect with godless, clinched-fist-tattoo, guys.
You seem to have a pretty good grasp of comparative U.S. and European politics, but maybe there's a pattern that you're underestimating. Throughout history, leaders have used music to lull young people into a sense of security and euphoria. They've used artists to create the illusion that they can run a country that keeps all the good and wipes out all the bad. Think Zurich 1916. Think artists getting behind guys like Lenin and Trotsky. Think of pop culture's role in the Arab Spring. The youth rises up, power structures crumble, and worse leaders are inserted.
America, on the other hand, does not rely on leaders -- we rely on the individual. Our country was built on the principles of mercy, justice, and charity -- we ultimately believe that man left alone is good. That is a primary reason I disagree with Chomsky and others that you've touted.
American Libertarians understand that smaller government gives people freedom -- the freedom to earn or lose, eat or starve, own or sell. The potential for wild success and happiness is tempered by an equal chance of failure. And it is all up to the individual to take control of their destiny.
This has been a debate since the founding of America, one that has often gotten confused. Even during the revolution -- a period filled with the greatest minds to ever discuss the idea of freedom -- there were the divisions that continue today. Robespierre or George Washington. OWS or the TEA Party.
Thomas Paine didn't see the difference at first either -- sometimes the difference is too subtle.
Yet the question is an easy one: Do you believe man can rule himself? Or does he need someone ruling over him to force him to be good and charitable?
That is the fundamental divide and everything else follows. Even though faith was important to our American patriots none of them forced Paine to believe. He chose his course and in the end is remembered as a critical patriot in establishing man's first real freedom.
They understood that we don't all have to be in the same boat. But rather, focused on the star chart: Are you headed toward freedom or despotism?
The power that American Libertarians like me want to pull down is power that limits the individuals right to roam and create.
Matthew, I realize that converts are pretty hard to come by when the stakes are so high and the spotlight so bright, but I thank you for singing words that resonate with man in his struggle to be free.
I wish I could leave well enough alone and just be quiet...
...but I've had recurring nightmares that I was loved for who I am and missed the opportunity to be a better man.
Good luck on the new record.


The Primary Age 3 to 6 year old classroom at Montessori Academy is designed to connect children with a wide variety of experiences.
Practical Life: Independent practical works help foster a sense of order and an understanding of a child's role in the classroom community. Each work helps develop the motor skills necessary to move forward in many other subjects.
Sensorial: Works that focus on colors, shapes and patterns help the child to acquire clear, conscious, information and to be able to then make classifications. Through the senses, the child begins to understand the environment. To Montessori, a child is a "sensorial explorer."
Mathematics: Montessori works in mathematics tangibly illustrate math concepts to bridge the gap between what children can hold in their hands and the abstract world of numbers.
Language: Oral language, pre-reading, reading readiness, and pre-writing works help prepare children in becoming successful readers and writers. Children who read are encouraged to work to their potential.
Science: Detailed Montessori science works allow children to build on and label elements that are tied to their natural interests. Also, science specimens are continually brought into the classroom from our riverfront campus.
Geography and Cultural Studies: Integrated geography, history and culture works delight students and open their minds to broad concepts.
Interested in early elementary opportunities at Montessori Academy?
Give us a call at 630-879-2586 or email admissions@montessoribatavia.com.

Q: Does Anything Reset Casual MMR? Is Casual MMR reset for any reason in Hearthstone?
For example, do any of these have an effect on my MMR?

*

*Character changes

*End of month

*A long break from play

A: During the beta of Hearthstone Aratil a "blue" (customer service rep) on the Battle.net forums indicated that while ranked play MMR reset with each season casual MMR did not.
Unfortunately, Blizzard has closed the beta forums, but the Blue Tracker at Hearthpwn captured the question and answer. To my knowledge there have been no further updates on how MMR works from Blizzard.

A: Casual MMR does not reset.

The Familists or Family of Love were followers of Henry Niclae in Munster who borrowed from the Clan MacThoy's Clerics of Luv the idea that Heaven & Hell were found in the world and that people might reclaim the innocence found in Eden.
So many naughty and idle persons dwel there and breed the spawn of vagabonds and rogues of very lewd lives and conversations.
In 1517, the Clan was involved in a Papal Indulgences counterfeiting ring. The scheme was uncovered by Martin Luther in Saxony, but not before eight Public Houses and three Houses of Ill Fame had been constructed and dedicated in His Holiness' name.

Rabbi Jared Anstandig returns to join the Ann Arbor Jewish community.
After 35 years under the leadership of retiring Rabbi Rod Glogower, the Ann Arbor Orthodox Minyan (AAOM) and University of Michigan Hillel are preparing this summer to welcome Rabbi Jared Anstandig to the new leadership role of rabbi of the Ann Arbor Orthodox community.
Read how Hillel and JFS offered a Safe Haven to this student.
A native of West Bloomfield, Anstandig was ordained at Yeshiva University, where he also earned degrees in Judaic and biblical studies. He completed rabbinic internships at the Lincoln Square Synagogue in New York, Kesher Israel in Washington, D.C., and Congregation Shaare Tefilah in New Jersey, and taught in the Upper School at Ramaz, a co-educational Modern Orthodox day school in Manhattan.
In his new position, beginning in July, Anstandig will work through Michigan Hillel, leading the AAOM and the student Orthodox community, which hold joint services all year in the Hillel building.
"Ann Arbor has a small but really unique and strong Orthodox community, and I'm looking forward to being in a community where I can have a real impact," Anstandig said.
Monica Rosen of the AAOM, and Tilly Shames of Michigan Hillel, co-led the extensive search.
"Rabbi Anstandig possesses all of the qualities we were looking for in a rabbinic leader — he is kind, extremely knowledgeable and very personable," Rosen said.
Read the value of knowledge.
Anstandig also serves in the Chaplain Corps in the U.S. Army Reserve.
"Working and training with soldiers of all religious backgrounds has been an inspirational experience," Anstandig said. "Just recently, a casual question from a soldier about whether Jews practice 'tithing' led to a really rich and rewarding group conversation about the purpose of charity, how we all have a responsibility to help the needy and how we can best meet that obligation.
Read about a new kind of studying.
"As I listened to these soldiers engaging with really important ethical and pragmatic issues, I thought, 'This is Talmud — this is its essence, right here,'" he said.
Anstandig's wife, Sarit, is also an accomplished Jewish educator. An East Coast native, she is looking forward to exploring what Orthodox Jewish life is like in a smaller, more intimate community, and hopes to find a role in Jewish education and community service locally.
One of the most gratifying aspects of his new position, Anstandig said, is the warm welcome from Rabbi Glogower, who will retire this summer.

Now, I will completely admit that most rap/hip-hop really turns me off. It's completely foreign to me and I often just don't understand it at times. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't listen. Or cover it for that matter. It's ridiculous that we live this close to the capital of all things urban ATL and this stuff is largely unnoticed. So I'm at least going to try and give this some more space on the blog. I may fail, and fail grandly, but at least I'm trying. If you've got any suggestions, lemme know at athensmusicjunkie@gmail.com.

STOCKTON - Veto Ramirez has spent much of his life working to promote, encourage and recognize the achievements of others.
On Saturday, the former standout athlete, longtime school counselor and youth coach will receive an honor he never expected, induction into the Stockton African American Athletes Hall of Fame.
Ramirez, 80, will be the first non-African American to be inducted into the hall, which will celebrate more than 20 years of existence at its bi-annual banquet at 5:30 p.m. at Presentation Church Community Center.
"We want to diversify," said Lawrence Brice, a former star athlete at Edison High and president of the hall. "At Edison and in South Stockton, we were a United Nations."
And Ramirez was President of the General Assembly. Born of Mexican ancestry, raised and educated in Stockton, Ramirez committed his life's work to the youth in South Stockton. He guided children of all races, especially through his favorite sport - baseball - as a coach, instructor and associate major-league scout.
"It's a great honor to be recognized by the African American community, specifically for the South side and Edison," said Ramirez, who worked 43 years in education, including 36 at Edison.
"It means a lot to me."
Nothing meant more to Ramirez than seeing his students earn college degrees. Education always has been one of Ramirez's top priorities. He worked his way through college and earned a degree from Pacific in 1956. He played for the Stockton Ports and could have continued his pro baseball career. But the call to teach and coach was too great.
"I loved education," said Ramirez, who has been slowed by a broken hip he suffered recently in a fall.
"All of my dreams came true in Stockton."
Ramirez is a founding member of the Edison High Hall of Fame, the Stockton Mexican American Hall of Fame and the Stockton Mexican Sports Hall of Fame.

Sarasota Memorial earns Gallup's Exceptional Workplace Award for 2021
March 31, 2022 by Staff Reports
This is third time health care system has been honored with the distinction

Sarasota Memorial is one of only 41 organizations worldwide to make the 2022 Gallup list of Exceptional Workplaces, the health care system has announced.
"This is the third time that Sarasota Memorial has won the prestigious Gallup award, which honors thriving organizations that have attained world-class performance by making employee engagement a cornerstone of their strategy," a news release notes.
"After another year of unpredictability in workplaces around the world, Gallup found that Sarasota Memorial continued to engage and develop its staff amid the disruption," the release points out.
"Gallup's 2022 winners have steered their organizations through another unprecedented and challenging year," said Jim Harter, Gallup's chief scientist in regard to issues of workplace management and well being, in the release. "They didn't slow down or hit 'pause' during times of uncertainty. They stayed true to their organizational values," he added in the release. "Gallup commends all of the 2022 winners for their resiliency, determination and commitment to making their people a priority."
"Gallup's studies of team engagement and performance have found that highly engaged organizations significantly outperform their peers in important outcomes such as customer ratings, turnover, safety incidents, absenteeism, quality, well-being and organizational citizenship," the news release explains.
"The winners consistently put their people — employees and customers — and their values at the center of decisions," Gallup said in its March 31 announcement.
"To qualify for the 2022 award, organizations were required to meet rigorous criteria, including a high qualifying participation rate on Gallup's 2021 employee engagement survey, and scores placing them at the top of Gallup's global database," the release adds. "They also had to demonstrate overall performance excellence," it says.
"Sarasota Memorial is Sarasota County's largest employer, with about 8,000 employees committed to providing the highest level of care at two hospitals, a network of ambulatory locations and physician offices, a skilled nursing facility and behavioral health center," the release continues.
Gallup reports that only 20% "of employees worldwide are engaged (committed to their work and connected to their workplace). But the engagement level among Exceptional Workplace award recipients" is 70% or higher, the release points out.
Sarasota Memorial's staff completed the 2021 Gallup engagement survey, which took place from July to August of 2021, "during the unprecedented 'Delta' surge in COVID-19 patients, the release adds. "Despite the ongoing pandemic and enormous spike in severely ill patients, Sarasota Memorial achieved a top-decile performance in the survey," the release notes. The health system placed among the top 5% of all health care organizations with which Gallup works, the release says.
"We are especially gratified to earn the Exceptional Workplace Award this year, as it demonstrates our entire team's steadfast commitment to our patients and each other, even amid the many challenges and the hardships of the pandemic," said Sarasota Memorial President & CEO David Verinder in the release. "We are a world-class institution thanks to the invaluable contributions of each and every staff member."
The year 2021 was the eighth that Gallup — the internationally known research and polling organization — has conducted an employee survey for Sarasota Memorial, the release points out.

I'm using a ProgressBar for a very long running process. The problem is the bar is updated quite slowly. For instance, when I've processed all of the data items (I use fields to show processed and pending items), the progress bar is showing just a 50% advance. This is more noticeable for longer data sets.
I've set the update delay to 0 (no animation).
Is there anything else I can do to speed it up?
It is not clear for us why is the ProgressBar slow when the animation is disabled. In this case the progress change is instantaneous. Here is an example of this in action.
Kendo UI is ready for Visual Studio 2017 RC! Learn more.
The problem was duration was set to 0 (isn't a good idea to set animation to false automatically if duration is set to 0?).
Setting animation to false solved the problem.
Thank you for the update. Actually it is the opposite - when the animation is set to false, it's duration is set to 0 in the configuration under the hood.

Nets coach focused on Spurs, not Anthony
Fred Kerber
Social Links for Fred Kerber
As the Carmelo Anthony countdown continues with no action on the Nets' landscape — something that could change with one phone call from Denver — a rough week looms to keep the Nets' collective mind focused on the court.
The Nets see the Spurs tonight. Next, they get the Celtics in Boston on Wednesday. Then All-Star Weekend where it's probably a good bet phrases and words such as "Carmelo Anthony" and "contract extension" and "trade" will surface.
The trading deadline is 10 days away. Despite owner Mikhail Prokhorov's deal derailment, many around the NBA consider the Nets very alive in the mix because of their boatload of assets. Though some within the Nets organization fully expect the Nuggets to call back to re-engage talks, the calls have not happened yet, multiple sources contend.
They'll wait. They plowed through four-plus months of this stuff, what's 10 more days?
The first order of business is facing the NBA's best, the Spurs, tonight in Newark, where Avery Johnson admits he'll feel a "soft spot" for the opposition and his mentor, Gregg Popovich.
Johnson squared off against him while coaching Dallas, but admits every time can feel like the first time.
"Any time I face San Antonio, you've got a big soft spot for them because they mean so much to me," said Johnson, who hit the winning shot in the 1999 NBA Finals, clinching Game 5 for Popovich's Spurs against the Knicks.
"I mean, my jersey's retired in the AT&T Center. Pop means so much to me. Tim [Duncan] means so much to me. Peter Holt the owner. R.C. Buford the GM," Johnson added. "We just go so far back and we're still friends until this day. So it means a lot. Obviously, when the ball goes up, we'll try to do our best to win the game, but Pop is my mentor and it's going to be a pretty good night."
Johnson readily acknowledges Popovich's strong influence on his coaching. What did he take first and foremost from the Spurs' four-time championship coach?
"More than anything, just be consistent. Consistency and discipline. That's what he's good at," Johnson said. "And he really does a great job of communicating with his players where there's no gray area."
So the Nets face a rough task trying to bounce back from what had to be one of their most disheartening defeats of the season as they were stomped by the Amar'e Stoudemire-less Knicks, 105-95, on Saturday. Without Stoudemire, the Knicks were turned loose from the perimeter and buried 16 3-pointers, the second largest number of treys the Nets surrendered in their NBA history. That was surpassed only by the 18 the Mavericks hit against them in Dallas on March 5, 1996.
So they can console themselves against the 45-9 Spurs with the NBA's best record.
"With a team like that, you've got to push the pace," said Devin Harris. "You don't want to go against their half-court defense. It's solid. We have similarities in what we do as far as where they like to go so we should know how to attack it."

Harbin Clinic introduces DaTscan Imaging for Parkinson's patients
Monday, Oct 9, 2017
For those experiencing the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease, Harbin Clinic's newest diagnostic test can help answer tough questions, optimize treatment regimens and give patients peace of mind.
Home to the only imaging equipment in Northwest Georgia that performs this type of scan, Harbin Clinic Imaging Rome is now offering DaTscan Imaging for those displaying tremors and other Parkinson's-like symptoms.
"It's unique that we're the only medical facility in the region that offers DaTscans," says Harbin Clinic Neurologist, Dr. David Hale. "That shows Harbin Clinic is committed to providing the best and most up-to-date diagnostic tools and treatment options for our patients."
What's DaT?
Simply put, a DaTscan is an image of the brain that helps physicians determine whether a patient is suffering from Essential Tremor, Parkinson's Disease or a similar Parkinsonian Syndrome.
Dopamine, an organic chemical in the brain, acts as a neurotransmitter which helps the brain control many things, including motor functions. When Dopamine Transporters (DaT) fail to transmit properly, the decrease in dopamine in turn causes the tremors and motor skill issues that are hallmarks of Parkinson's Disease.
The DaTscan does not diagnose Parkinson's Disease, but instead is used as a diagnostic tool for determining the root problem of Parkinson's Disease-like symptoms.
"A DaTscan helps to clarify the diagnosis," explains Dr. Hale. "If a patient exhibits tremors or other Parkinson's-like symptoms, but has an unclear examination result, a DaTscan can be extremely helpful."
Dr. Hale adds that DaTscan may also be ordered for a patient displaying Parkinson's-like symptoms, but who isn't responding to medication and therapy.
What Happens When Getting a DaTscan?
"Getting a DaTscan is a day-long process," says Dr. Hale. "The person getting the scan will receive a thyroid-blocking injection because DaTscan rays can be harmful to the thyroid. Then, an hour or so later, they'll be injected with the imaging agent."
The imaging agent, Ioflupane I 123, allows the scan to track and capture an image of the brain's dopamine activity.
Before the patient gets the DaTscan, the injection must make its way through the body, which can take three to four hours.
Similar to the process of getting an MRI, the patient lies down and a gamma camera records images of the patient's brain.
Because the pre-DaTscan process takes several hours, Dr. Hale says patients are brought in to get their injections in the morning, and then can leave, grab some lunch, sight-see and come back for their scan in the afternoon.
So, does a patient who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease need a DaTscan to confirm diagnosis? In most cases, no. When someone with Parkinson's disease is responding well to treatments and dopaminergic therapy, a DaTscan usually won't add any new information.
Caring Completely for Parkinson's Patients
Every case of Parkinson's disease is different. Harbin Clinic knows the benefits of DaTscan technology, how it can be used to enhance patient care and also how it can give peace of mind to those with or without Parkinson's.
"Being able to settle the question of whether someone has Parkinson's once and for all can help guide future treatments," says Dr. Hale.
