Last month, at a doctor's visit, my teenage daughter and I were offered a patient experience survey to fill out. My daughter wanted to share her thoughts and happily answered the questions. I also was eager to answer questions and pass on what did and didn't work for us during that visit.
My daughter said she likes when movies play in the waiting room and we both said we don't like when wait times in the exam room are too long. She answered there were times when the doctor didn't talk with her in a way she understood and I answered it was hard to schedule appointments sometimes. Our feelings about the visit went far beyond what her doctor did or didn't say. It included the entire time we were there; from beginning to end, from checking in to how long we spend in the exam room, as well as the time we spent with the doctor.
Regardless of the how much or how often we receive care, most of us have feelings to share about our visits to a doctor's office or health clinic. More doctors' offices are asking patients and family caregivers to share their opinions and play an important role in changing how health care is delivered. With a shift to more patient- and family-centered care, sometimes known as medical home, there is a high value in patients, families, doctors and their staff working together to improve the delivery and experience of care for kids and their families.
Patient surveys can be a first step for involving patients and families in shaping the healthcare experience. I learned this firsthand through my work on the CHIPRA Massachusetts Medical Home Learning Collaborative, which invited families to share their healthcare experiences to help their child's doctor's office become a medical home. Thirteen doctors' offices each invited from within their practice two "Family Health Partners" to join their quality improvement (QI) teams. Many practices made use of these family health partners in improvement activities such as discovery shopping, creating care teams and care planning tools.
While the project was wrapping up, we were eager to spread the lessons learned during the learning collaborative. Mass Family Voices at the Federation along with the National Institute for Children's Health Quality (NICHQ) created a Family Engagement Guide that provides doctor's offices with guidelines on involving families in Quality Improvement activities. Along with assisting medical practices as they start working with Family Partners, this toolkit can help doctor's offices continue to support and inspire the Family Health Partners they work with.
Imagine the impact that patients and the families could have, sharing what is important to them to improve their health care experience. I know my daughter was glad to have the chance to share her ideas.
You can find the Family Engagement Guide on the NICHQ website: http://www.nichq.org/resource/family-engagement-guide-role-family-health-partners-quality-improvement-within-pediatric. Share this guide with your child's doctor and ask how you can become involved in quality improvement at their office.


Fleas are similar to cockroaches in that they adapt to their environment. They become stronger and more immune to the popular chemical products with each generation.
A single flea can lay as many as 60 eggs per day. The lifespan of a flea is about 90 days. Controlling fleas does require some effort, but there are safer and effective ways to control fleas than several well-known commercial flea control products.
"Buyer beware" -- Toxic products masquerading as "natural"
Even if all the ingredients in a flea repellent product are natural, this doesn't ensure that they won't be toxic to your pet. For instance, d'Limonene, which is derived from citrus peels and found in many natural anti-flea products, can be highly toxic to cats. Herbal flea collars, though they don't contain the poisons that conventional flea collars do, come with the same warning: do not let children play with the collar. If it's not good for your child, why would it be good for your pet?
It is advisable to read product labels carefully. For example, one line of supposedly natural flea sprays and dips contains "all natural synthetic Pyrethrin." Pyrethrins are insecticides derived from the African chrysanthemum (Pyrethrum). Pyrethroids are synthetic derivatives of pyrethrins. Both are commonly used in conventional preparations which make the product sound innocent because it's derived from a flower. But pyrethrins alone can be toxic to the animal and pyrethroids expose your animal to more chemicals.
Other natural ingredients known to cause allergic reactions or have toxic effects in some animals include Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oil and Pennyroyal oil.
The use of essential oils with cats is a potentially volatile combination. Cats do not efficiently metabolize essential oils and their use can lead to symptoms of toxicity. In addition to essential oils, cats have known metabolic sensitivities to certain herbal preparations and allopathic medications. Because the cat's body does not efficiently excrete essential oils, they can build up to toxic levels. Symptoms of toxicity include vomiting, dizziness, clumsiness, lack of appetite, lack of energy and shock. In addition, cats have very thin, delicate skin. Essential oils are absorbed rapidly into their skin and enter the bloodstream, overwhelming their systems. Cats dislike strong odors and generally keep away from strong scents -- even highly diluted essential oils.
Many people find that they can use essential oils on their cats with no obvious adverse effects. Although one or more applications of an essential oil product or blend may not cause immediate harm, the effects of essential oils can be cumulative and manifest themselves at a later date in the form of toxicity for which owners and vets often can find no attributable cause.
The best flea control is prevention. Unfortunately, sometimes people and pets find that their environment is already infested with fleas. Rather than resorting to toxic chemicals and poisons to eliminate fleas, you should know there are safe and natural alternatives. First, washing is effective in eliminating fleas. Combing and shampooing your pet is a great way to immediately eliminate fleas from your pet. If fleas are found on the comb, dip the comb in a bowl of soapy water. When shampooing your pet, we recommend using a natural and gentle shampooing product instead of a flea dip or pesticide shampoo. Soap and warm water kills fleas without poison.
Be mindful that shampooing too frequently may cause your pet's skin to become overly dry. There are gentle pet shampoo products on the market specially formulated for animals with dry or problem skin.
Use warm water and start lathering around pet's neck and work back towards the tail. This way any fleas on your pet trying to crawl away from the shampoo will not congregate on your pet's face.
To eliminate fleas from your pet's bed, you should wash your pet's bedding with detergent in HOT water and dry bedding thoroughly in the dryer. This will help prevent your pet from becoming re-infested when he or she sleeps. Frequent vacuuming of floors, rugs, furniture, and pillows is an effective way of removing fleas and their eggs from your pet's environment. To prevent caught fleas from climbing out of your vacuum cleaner's bag and re-infesting, be sure to properly dispose of the vacuum cleaner's waste. Proper disposal of the vacuum cleaner waste also avoids the risk of having collected flea eggs from hatching inside the bag and re-infesting your pet's environment.

Mitchell vs. Caprock defense a pivotal matchup
PHIL TERRIGNO
With starting quarterback Hunter Spaeth still rehabbing an injured knee, junior Baylor Mitchell will make his third start for Monterey (2-2) against Caprock (1-2) a week after completing 13 of 16 passes in a 54-17 win over Lubbock.
Although Caprock has displayed a strong offense in games against Estacado and Tascosa, the Plainsmen defense has been stout in dominating Lubbock and allowing 22 points to Randall, the same team that gouged Coronado for 60 points.
This week's one-on-one matchup pits Mitchell against the Longhorns defense because Mitchell's accuracy is not guaranteed: he was precise against Lubbock, but he finished 9 of 19 against Randall.
"He's become a real threat throwing the ball and I think he's already been a threat running the ball and causing problems for some defenses," Monterey coach Wayne Hutchinson said. "In practice, up until a week ago, (his throwing) wasn't that consistent. In the last couple of weeks, he's taking all the reps now. And the consistency in practice is greatly improved."
There is no definite timetable for Spaeth's return. The senior has practiced throwing from a standstill and Hutchinson said he is being examined on a day-to-day basis.
Running back Vincent Johnson turned in a strong performance against the Westerners, finishing with four touchdowns and 148 yards. Johnson is one of the area's only Division I prospects and consistent production from him can draw attention from Mitchell's running ability and a group of receivers that is slowly learning to stretch the field.
"I think (Johnson is) one of those guys that the more he touches the ball, the better he gets," Hutchinson said. "He gets in a rhythm and he's pretty hard to stop."

Cystic fibrosis sufferer pushes her limits to help find cure
By Heather Yourex-West	Global News
Posted September 18, 2013 6:06 pm
Updated September 18, 2013 6:45 pm
CALGARY- When Nicki Perkins was born, she wasn't expected to live past the age of five.
"They told my mom and dad, 'don't even bother putting her in kindergarten, just take her home and snuggle her with love,'" the now-41-year-old recalls.
Perkins was born with cystic fibrosis, a progressive, genetic disease that attacks the lungs. Today, most people with CF live into their 30's and 40's, often with the help of a lung transplant.
"I've had several hospitalizations. I've been in the hospital probably 10 times and I've had 20 home IV's," she explains. "I ended up at 37 per cent lung capacity before I finally stabilized."
Breathing does not come easily for Perkins. But three times a week you'll find her doing pull ups and box jumps, taking part in what the Crossfit community refer to as the WOD or 'workout of the day.'
"I tried it out 10 months ago and I can't believe how much I underestimated myself."
Second person dies in Chinese virus outbreak
California's Yosemite National Park probing 170 reported illnesses amid 2 norovirus cases
Her accomplishments in the Crossfit gym may be impressive, but they pale in comparison to what she's been able to do for cystic fibrosis research. In 2005, Perkins created a foundation to raise money for local research. To date 'CeFfort' has raised over $650,000. For her new Crossfit community, Perkins has been an inspiration.
"She's basically supposed to be dead by now, a lot of people don't live until 40," says Sandra Anderson, coach and owner of the Crossfit Motivate gym. "But she's living life like she's normal. I thought, 'Wow! Why don't we do something to help her?'"
This weekend, the gym is hosting a special fundraiser called 'Burpees for Breath.'
"For seven minutes you do burpees," Perkins explains. "The idea is to have healthy people know what it's like to struggle to breathe."
All money raised will go to a lab at the University of Calgary that was recently named in Perkins' honour. Perkins says it's a place where researchers are now working to give other with CF new hope.
"Generations that are being born right now have a chance to be grandparents, even parents, go to school, have a career. The future is bright for people being born right now with cystic fibrosis and I like to think I had a hand in that."

Health FYI


The best-selling novelist on creating complex characters, the "chick lit" label and whats at the heart of her latest book.
New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin may have five books under her belt, been called "a modern day Jane Austen" and have a movie in the works based on one of her books, but when I chatted with her over the phone before her May 25 appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis, it felt less like an interview and more like a conversation between friends.
To say that Emily is down-to-earth is an understatement, and I quickly learned how this sassy, smart and genuinely personable woman is able to write such page-turning, complex and relatable characters. Because she's so completely real herself, even joking about eating a Greek salad with onions before an event. A big fan of hers for many years, I was excited to get the opportunity to discuss book themes, creating her characters and her new book, "Heart of the Matter." new book, Heart of the Matter.
ALIVE: Your characters are complex and completely relatable. I know that while I'm reading your books, although a character doesn't always do the right or best thing, I can empathize with them. What's the secret to writing these characters in such a real, relatable way?
ALIVE: The complexities of relationships are a major theme threaded throughout your books—cheating, loyalty, forgiveness and redemption, which aren't always the easiest topics to write about. What's your process?
EG: My writing is very character-driven and organic. With this latest book, Heart of the Matter, I wanted to explore how one moment can change every thing. And I knew I wanted to explore two very different mothers. So the premise comes first, then the characters. Then I come up with their back stories—who they are, what their families are like and eventually after that, the relationships form.
The relationships drive the plot. I have a very vague sense of beginning, middle and end when I first start writing. When I sit down it all unfolds and honestly, as I write, I don't know what is going to happen either. In Something Borrowed, I wasn't sure if Rachel and Dex were going to end up together in the end; the ultimate conclusion really comes from the characters, not me. I put those characters in tough situations and we see what happens. Like what would you do if your soul mate wanted different things (Baby Proof)? What would happen if you fell in love with your best friend's boyfriend (Something Borrowed)? What would happen if you were happily married and ran into what you thought was the love of your life who got away? Sometimes I'm surprised by what they do just like you are.
ALIVE: Your latest novel, Heart of the Matter, explores serious themes of marriage, infidelity and ultimately forgiveness. Why the title Heart of the Matter?
EG: I wasn't sure what this book was going to be about when I first started it. I wasn't sure if it was going to be about true love or being true to yourself. Or compassion, trust or friendship. But what ultimately emerged was forgiveness. Tessa and Valerie had to forgive Nick.Valerie had to forgive the negligent mother. Charlie had to forgive the little girl at school. It goes along with empathy—it's a lot easier to forgive someone if you can see something from their point of view. We all have to make the choice to forgive, move on and free ourselves from bitterness that we hold toward another. For me it was a journey of discovering that forgiveness really was the heart of the matter.
ALIVE: Your characters are smart. They deal with complex issues. How do you feel about the "chick-lit" label?
EG: I don't really think in terms of genre or labels when I write. I think sometimes I'm categorized in that way and sometimes I'm not. I think that the pretty pastel covers help my books get picked up by some people who might not otherwise pick them up, and other people might say, "I don't want to read something that has a ring on it and I'm not interested in Chick Lit," but if they picked up one of my books, they'd realize it's not like a lot of other Chick Lit. Although the label has never bothered me and I've always embraced it, I don't think that Heart of the Matter is Chick Lit. And I say that not because I don't want to call it Chick Lit, but because I write stories that are relatable with real characters and the labels don't really matter as much.
ALIVE: Your first book, Something Borrowed, is currently being made into a movie starring Kate Hudson, John Krasinski and Ginnifer Goodwin (2011 release date). Tell me about that whole experience.
EG: Having a movie made was much of a surprise. So every time I talk about it, I tend to get giddy. I didn't expect to be involved, but I ended up bonding with the producer and director, so I've been really into the whole process. They've been great, nice people. At one point, I was the person arguing that something should not be the same as it was in the book. I was like "that can change!" and they were all about keeping it true to the book. I think they nailed the cast. And I am shamelessly into celebrities, subscriber of US Weekly, you name it! I have a huge crush on John Krasinski, which consequently means I know him the least. I've had a lot of exchange with Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson but whenever John comes around I am like, "Hi. I am really honored that you are playing this part," I become this weird, formal person. But overall, I'm not disappointed about anything. The fact that my book tour is overlapping with the filming of the movie makes life pretty crazy right now, but I was telling my cousin the other day that my life is really boring 90 percent of the time.

Three Trends Driving MedTech Innovation
Jess Bauldry
B Medical Systems quickly pivoted to offer different leasing systems for its products (Photo © B Medical Systems)
Silicon examines some of the latest global medtech trends through three Luxembourg scaleups: the leasing of medical devices, online booking and streamlining health data.
Trend n°1: Leasing medical devices
B Medical Systems has been developing and selling its cold chain products for over 40 years. However, an explosion in demand for cold storage and transport solutions for vaccines as a result of the pandemic has forced a reflection on how customers access its products.
Vaccines have played a pivotal role in building a collective immune response against the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of pharmaceutical companies developed successful vaccines at breakneck speed. But the race is not over. To maintain their potency, the vaccines need to be stored and transported at a constant temperature within an unbroken cold chain.
Ensuring the cold chain
For some COVID-19 vaccines, like Pfizer's, this means keeping them at ultra-low freezing temperatures, well below what standard freezers are capable of. The Moderna vaccine also needs to be kept frozen for long-term stability. The specific requirements were an opportunity for B Medical Systems to leverage its 4 decades' experience in cold chain products.
"It became clear that some clinics required smaller ultra-low freezer solutions to store extremely temperature-sensitive materials"
B Medical Systems CEO Luc Provost
"During the fight against COVID-19, it became clear that some clinics required smaller ultra-low freezer solutions to store extremely temperature-sensitive materials," said B Medical Systems CEO Luc Provost, adding: "Following our customer's requests, we developed the U201, the smallest of our Ultra-Low Freezers."
Pricing and vaccine inequity
It quickly became clear that the cost of purchasing certain cold chain products (they range from hundreds to thousands of euros) was outpricing low-income countries, further exacerbating vaccine inequity. B Medical Systems quickly pivoted to offer different leasing systems for its products, notably to India.
Provost said that the firm has successfully "executed leasing deals with some large pharmaceutical companies in the country. This provides more flexibility to the customers and avoids upfront purchase of the equipment in bulk." The firm is now exploring further leasing opportunities.

The leasing sales model is far from a novelty in the pharmaceutical industry. According to a 2021 report on global medical device leasing opportunities from Research&Markets, "many hospitals and health systems aim to preserve cash, making them risk averse to funneling significant amounts into capital equipment that is prone to obsolescence." This need drives new supply models such as leasing. In developed markets, leasing enables hospitals to pass on the risk of equipment downtime to vendors. And in emerging markets, leasing lowers upfront costs to providers.
The growth potential is vast. In 2021, the global medical equipment rental market size was valued at USD 53.39 billion in 2021, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 72.66 billion by 2028, according to analytics firm SkyQuest.
Mobile refrigerated vaccine solutions
Meanwhile, B Medical Systems has developed a refrigerated vaccine transport vehicle with Toyota Tsusho Corporation. The mobile solution can be used to transport large amounts of vaccine doses to the most remote areas in the world. Provost explained: "By installing our new CF850 Vaccine Refrigerator on the sturdy Toyota vehicle, vaccination campaigns in many areas worldwide have become a lot more manageable, and vaccine wastage has been reduced."

Doctena CEO Alain Fontaine, pictured, says that the online appointment manager for doctors was an easy sell to patients
Trend n°2: Online booking
For many, booking a doctor's appointment online in Luxembourg has become second nature since Doctena launched in 2014. Doctena CEO Alain Fontaine talks about expanding market share and new areas for automation.
The online appointment manager for doctors was an easy sell to patients. "One can clearly say that patients love it and not only Doctena, but in all countries where you have similar offers," Doctena CEO Alain Fontaine explains. "That's because patients do everything online: they book flights, order pizza and movie tickets, because it's convenient, it's quick, and you can do it at 10 o'clock on a Saturday evening from your couch."
Onboarding doctors
The biggest challenge was and remains onboarding doctors themselves. Because of the medical environment's "high resistance to change" and implementing new processes, Fontaine says expanding Doctena's reach is "not a sprint, it's a marathon".
"I believe the biggest challenge is to remain patient enough and to just admit that it will take many years," the CEO explains.
"I believe the biggest challenge is to remain patient enough and to just admit that it will take many years"
Doctena CEO Alain Fontaine
Doctena has its biggest market share in Luxembourg, at around 35%, followed by Belgium (7%). Its share in Germany, where it is estimated that around 85% of the market of doctors and health practitioners have yet to adopt a booking platform, is considerably lower. To expand the customer base, Doctena acquired six companies in Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and Austria in a period of two years.
10-20 years for full adoption
Fontaine believes that a renewal of medical professionals from retirements will result in an uptick in adoption. "It will take another 10-20 years to be locked in and be part of the daily operations of practice," he says.
He is also convinced that automated booking platforms like Doctena help to make the medical profession more attractive by improving the efficiency of their daily workloads. And his team is examining automation of other technical functions to make their lives easier "like requesting a copy of the latest invoice, a sickness certificate or collecting a repeat prescription." Starting mid-2023, Doctena will roll out software solutions to streamline these manual processes, saving the doctors time.

Doctors remain core target group
Looking ahead, its focus is on sustainable profitability growth through capitalising its presence in Belgium, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. "There's enough to do over the coming few years," says Fontaine.
Independent doctors remain the core target, although Doctena has examined other markets. It has completed two projects in Belgium with hospitals, a segment Fontaine says remains complex in terms of requirements and systems operability. Nevertheless, he believes that in future, hospitals will develop online booking technology for patients. The Doctena team has also examined a use case for vets. It concluded the market in Luxembourg was too small to justify developing a bespoke system.

Trend n°3: Streamlining health data
Health data play a central role in digital medicine but without standardisation and cleaning, its usefulness is limited. Andreas Kremer, co-founder and managing director of medical data services company ITTM, talks about this trend.
ITTM was founded in 2015 to meet the data management needs of the pharmaceutical industry and projects funded by the European Commission. The company ensured that data generated during preclinical and clinical studies are actionable and could be used in decision making processes. Today, ITTM is increasingly working with real world data, gathered by hospital information systems, for instance.
"The data can be molecular, demographic information etc., but always it needs to be harmonised so that one can use the data from Luxembourg, Austria, Germany or wherever and compare it directly," Kremer explained.
Federated data
A major trend in this field has been the shift away from centralising health data in data warehouses and data lakes towards a federated storage approach where data stays where it is generated. "In terms of data protection, security, and GDPR, it is sometimes easier to leave the data where it was collected," said Kremer. With a federated approach, stakeholders can access information by sending a query that returns aggregated results. "Still, agreements need to be in place for access, but there is no loss of control regarding the data, and one has all the data protection in place, which one had before as well," the managing director explained.
Pooling data
This approach is driving a trend for using real world data collected from smaller studies to create larger data sets. Federated systems of harmonized data, allow pharmaceutical companies to see what kind of data already exists and combine it to create a more complete set for their studies or trials. "A lot of trials are failing because one doesn't get the patients one needs and/or because for whatever reason one didn't get the numbers […]. You typically need to have big numbers to get the statistical power," explained Kremer.
Among the challenges to streamlining clinical health data access is to ensure interoperability between different systems, be it on a technical or semantic side. Data quality and or lack of completeness is another barrier. Kremer reckoned that education about what is needed for data to be useful in the future, is key. "I think the mountain is quite big," he admitted.
But the potential benefits of interoperable health data systems are vast. Among them will be adoption of longitudinal health management, single unified patient records composed of data from numerous sources to improve diagnosis and treatment.
In future, health apps will also supply meaningful data for these records. "Many pharmaceutical companies are including digital solutions to their portfolio," said Kremer, adding that regulation will play a fundamental role in how soon this becomes a reality.

My dad got in the habit of taking my laptop into the office so I started using the Surface to do my Year 5 English homework this year. For a long time I had been using the Touch keyboard but I couldn't stand using it, because it is too sensitive and wouldn't let me keep my fingers down on the keyboard without typing in random letters! After what seemed like forever, I convinced my dad to buy a Type keyboard. He choose Eve's favourite colour, pink. I was able to do my homework much quicker and effortlessly so I'm really glad Dad bought it.
There are quite a few differences between the two keyboards. The Type keyboard is more like a normal keyboard where you press down on the letters that are all keys and you can actually hear the 'click' noise when you type. The keys on both keyboards are very small, it was OK for me, but I think that adults with bigger fingers would have some problems. The Touch is a much more sensitive keyboard which means that you must keep your fingers off the keyboard while you type because if you accidentally put your finger down on a key, it will type the letter. When I was taught to type, I was told to keep my fingers resting on the keyboard, but the Touch would not allow me to do that.
At the end of the tests I received the result I was waiting for. The Touch gave me a disappointing result of 19 words per minute, while the Type keyboard gave me a much better result of 39 words per minute. So, as you can see the winner was … the Type! I advise you all to buy the Type keyboard if you have the Surface!
I loved your Microsoft Surface review! One of the best I have seen in a long time!
I had always felt that the type was much better than the type, but I had never thought to actually measure my performance on each.
I would be interested to see a comparison of new Touch 2 & Type 2 covers, to see if the more sensitive Touch 2 is any better.

Latter-day Saints change seminary program to follow calendar year, not school year. Studies now will match churchwide.
(Photo courtesy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) In addition to Sunday worship and the weekly and summertime activities, Latter-day Saint youths ages 14 to 18 enroll in seminary.
Soon, all Latter-day Saints — from the youngest teenage seminary student to the oldest adult Sunday school participant — will be on the same page. Literally.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Friday that the curriculum for its seminary program of religious instruction will shift to the calendar year, not the school year, and will align with other classes throughout the global faith.
Beginning in January 2020, seminary students will study the same book of scripture used in the church's "Come, Follow Me" study outline. Seminary classes will focus on the first half of the New Testament in June 2019, then join the rest of the church in studying the Book of Mormon, the faith's foundational scripture, in January 2020.
"Making this change will enhance the home-centered, church-supported approach to gospel study through a unified study at home, Sunday school and seminary," the faith's governing First Presidency, led by church President Russell M. Nelson, writes in a letter to be read to congregations across the world.
President Bonnie H. Cordon, leader of the Utah-based faith's Young Women organization, said aligning the study topics will strengthen homes.
The church noted that seminary and family weekly study guides may not always align each week because of various school calendars. But the scriptural course of study will match.
The seminary program, for students ages 14 through 18, enrolls more than 400,000 students in 140 countries.
In Utah, for instance, these religious classes — open to all teens but overwhelmingly populated by Latter-day Saints — are taught by full-time, church-paid instructors in buildings usually located next to secondary schools. In areas with fewer Latter-day Saints, volunteers often teach these classes, sometimes in the early morning before the school day begins.

All at the start for getting ready for work and sport!
There are XI steps in the complex. The sixth step of the complex is for students (18 - 24 years old). Norms can be passed in 11 sports, four of which are mandatory (running 100 meters and 3 km, pulling up on the crossbar, leaning forward from the standing position with straight legs on the gym bench (below the level of the bench). The remaining tests are optional: a long jump from the place and takeoff, throwing grenades, cross-country running, swimming 50 meters, shooting from an air rifle, hiking, self-defense without weapons. Since January 1, 2018, the standards and requirements for those passing the complex are changing. So, additional distances of 30 and 60 meters are introduced in the list of "mandatory" types. But if before the standard in the race for 100 meters for the "golden" sign for men was 13, 5 seconds, then from January 1 it will be 13,1 second. And for women, respectively, it was - 16, 5 seconds, now it is 16,4 seconds. In the race for 3 kilometers for men, the standard was 12 minutes 30 seconds, now it is 12 minutes. In jumping and throwing grenades standards remain the same. At 50 meters swimming distance for men it was necessary to swim this distance for 42 seconds, now it is 50 minutes, and for women it was 70 seconds, now it is 60 seconds. But if earlier for the "silver" and "bronze" signs you just had to swim distance (to be able to swim), now, you need to show the result: 1 minute or 1 minute 21 seconds for men. 1 min 15 sec, 1 min 25 sec for women. In the tightening on the crossbar the standard was 13 times, now it is 15 The women had to bend on the hands 14 times, now it is 17 In the throwing of the grenade the standard is preserved to 37 and 21 meters. The norm in"cross-country running" at distances of 3 and 5 kilometers for women and men, the standard was without time. Now you need to run 5 km for 22 minutes for the "golden" sign, and 3 km for 17 minutes 30 seconds. To get the "golden" sign, you need to meet the standards in 9 types (4 mandatory, 5 - optional). For the "silver" sign - 8 types (4 + 4) and for the bronze - 7 (4 +3). Questions and answers: - Do the students who entered the institute with the sign have to pass the standards? - The first-year student received the sign at the school, in the V stage (16 - 17 years). Now he will be tested for the sixth stage and receive a sign in the VI level. - Is it possible to pass standards in the lessons of physical education? - No. In Novocherkassk there is a single center with judges who have passed the certification. They are also testing for this standards. Y.V. Verdi, the head of the Physical Education Department of SRSPU (NPI): - Freshmen begin preparation for testing in the framework of standards at the lessons of physical education. In competitive form they pass control standards (running for 100 meters, jumping in length, pulling on the crossbar for men and bending the arms in the recumbent lying for women). These are included in the program of the complex. The best students at each faculty and the best faculty are determined. We have no one in the university who can not swim. Last year 32 students entered the first course, unable to swim. By the end of the first year, only one remained. I'm sure 2018 should be the year of getting ready for work and sport. I would like that our unversity is the first among the universities both in the city and in the region. For this we have all the conditions: a stadium with treadmills and sectors for jumping, track and field athletics arena, swimming pool, sports and gyms, shooting. Students, go for it! Follow the standards! Support your high school!

Peer review is a critically important process of evaluation for any manuscript submitted to JARC. Every article dispatched for full peer review will receive a comprehensive, fair, unbiased critical assessment. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by an editor of JARC to evaluate the eligibility for possible publication. Thereafter, the manuscripts will be sent to two to three expert reviewers in the field of the study for peer review. The editor will review the peer review comments and make a decision for acceptance or rejection, or request that the authors revise the manuscript based upon the reviewers' comments. JARC operates a single-blind review throughout the review process. This means that the reviewers remain anonymous to the authors.
JARC adheres to Committee on Publication Ethics' Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers. Reviewers are not allowed to contact the authors directly before, during, or after the reviewing process to discuss any information that is presented in the manuscript. Reviewers must keep the manuscripts and information obtained strictly confidential and must not publicly discuss or disclose the contents and any other information of the manuscript to a third party. The guidelines for the reviewers are available at the Journal home page.
The decision letters, along with the comments of the editors and reviewers, will be sent to the corresponding author via e-mail.
Revised manuscripts must be fully amended to address the comments of both the reviewers and the editors. Authors must include a detailed point-by-point response to the reviewers' and editors' comments when submitting a revised manuscript. Authors should submit the revised manuscript within 30 days from the date of the prior decision. All authors must approve every revision, correction and amendment prior to re-submission of the revised manuscript.
Manuscripts submitted by editors, Editorial Board members, or journal staff will follow the same process as outlined above. However, they are excluded from any editorial decision process of their own manuscript and have neither access to that manuscript nor any information about the review process other than what is provided in the editor's decision letter. Additionally, ScholarOne, the Journal's online submission and peer review system is designed to blind a person in other roles (editor/reviewer) from any paper he/she has authored. The manuscript submitted by editors, Editorial Board, and journal staff of JARC should include a statement that declares their personal conflict of interest with the Journal.

Trade body lobbying successes unveiled
Tuesday 23 November 2021 PDF Print
The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) has reflected on the public policy wins of the last year that it has driven on behalf of the professional staffing sector.
Tania Bowers, Global Public Policy Director at APSCo, commented:
"At the beginning of this year we set out a public policy agenda that was very much focused on supporting the staffing sector through a Covid recovery, driving the skills agenda post-Brexit and aiding the creation of an agile, flexible and dynamic workforce. In what has been a year of continued upheaval, we're pleased to see that the needs of the staffing sector are achieving greater consideration from the appropriate authorities. The past year has really shown everyone just how crucial the staffing sector is to the wider economy and APSCo is pleased to have been able to drive appropriate and meaningful change for recruitment businesses."
Key APSCo achievements that supported recruitment businesses this year include:
- The extension of Government support to continue to protect businesses while Covid-restrictions remained in place.
- The furlough scheme was extended until the end of September 2021 per APSCo's recommendations.
- The UK was recognised by the EU as data adequate in June 2021.
- At the Chancellor's Budgets increased skills spending was announced along with greater support for apprenticeships, T-Levels and education/training.
- The Chancellor also revealed that a new talent network to attract high-skilled workers to the UK will be set up in innovation hotspots.
- Plans for new High Potential Individual and Scale-up visa routes were included in the Government's Innovation Strategy
- The Home Office agreed to extend the digital right to work checks to April and begin a full review following widespread calls from sector experts including APSCo.
Tania added, "Looking towards the New Year, APSCo will continue to lobby government on behalf of the recruitment sector to better create a fair, agile and dynamic staffing environment where the right skills can be acquired appropriately. Our full public policy agenda for 2022 will be unveiled in shortly, but our focus will certainly be on delivering on a global agenda, continued economic recovery, skills attraction and development, as well as environmental sustainability."

Three phase shunt reactor is generally connected to 400KV or above electrical bus system for capacitive reactive power compensation of the power system and to control dynamic over voltage occurring in the system due to load rejection.
The shunt reactor should be capable of withstanding maximum continuous operating voltage (5% higher the rated voltage in case of 400 KV system) under normal power frequency variation without exceeding the top spot temperature of 150oC at any part of the shunt reactor.
The shunt reactor should be of gapped core type or magnetically shielded air core type. Both of these designs help to maintain the impedance of the reactor fixed. The impedance should be maintained at a constant value for avoiding harmonic current generated due to the system over voltage.
The shunt reactor has mainly core losses during its normal operating condition. So, care should be taken for minimizing the core losses during design.

Adopting trees for a greener life in India
Large-scale deforestation has been a major environmental concern in India for several decades. The government is trying to turn the situation around through a massive tree plantation drive.

Large-scale deforestation has been a major environmental concern in India for several decades.
The government is trying to turn the situation around through a massive tree plantation drive. But often these initiatives come and go without making a significant impact.
Now a nationwide campaign is urging people to adopt trees and, as Bismillah Geelani reports, it's gaining traction.
Sixty year-old physician, Satish Agarwal is surrounded by a group of patients outside his clinic in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
He is handing out some papers for them to sign, before giving each of them a pair of saplings – one to plant along the pathway and another to take home.
The document the patients have signed is not a consent form for some medical procedure, but an adoption agreement for a tree.
Agarwal recalls how one of his patients made him sign the same paper a few months ago and turned him into an environmental crusader.
"I was a full time practitioner and didn't care much about anything else. Then this person came and said, doctor! Why don't you adopt a tree? I was a bit perplexed and jokingly asked him why should anyone adopt a tree?"
"He then told me in detail about the environmental degradation and how important trees are for our future. He totally convinced and converted me and now I'm trying to do my bit," says Agarwal.
Hundreds of kilometers away in the southern city of Bangaluru, 30-year-old Radhika is tending to a roadside tree.
She has a passion for fully grown trees rather than saplings.
"Lots of people focus more on planting new trees and taking care of them and that's one way of making sure that the city is green or the country is green."
But she says, "I think taking care of old trees is much more important because these are really falling apart and I thought it was an amazing initiative to adopt a tree and just take care of one tree at a time, and I think that's how it works."
The Adopt a Tree Campaign is attracting volunteers from various parts of the country.
The World Wide Fund for Nature, or WWF, started the campaign a few years back to restore and preserve the country's greenery, under threat by constant development.
Rituperna Sengupta is the group's campaign manager.
"We have been seeing that spaces are being cleared, buildings are coming up—we are losing our green spaces in cities and towns across the country."
Sengupta continued, "so instead of just doing plantation which just looks at planting any kind of tree, Adopt a Tree really looks at planting species that are native to that particular area, which basically means that the green cover of that city or that town increases with species that we know will grow in that area and are important for that area."
But this is not just another plantation exercise, Sengupta is quick to clarify.
"We reach out to corporate, we reach out to schools, to young students, to colleges, to individuals and the person actually has an onus on the sapling that they are planting. It means that we actually document everybody who takes a sapling from us and it is imperative that the person comes back to us after a year and we keep in touch with this particular person to actually trace how this plant is growing."
There has been growing concern about India's reducing green cover.
A recent study by the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai found that large-scale deforestation was causing disruption in the rainfall pattern and triggering droughts.
The study warned the situation will worsen if deforestation continues at current rates.
At the Paris Climate Summit last year, the government pledged to increase forest cover from 20 to 30 percent of the country's total geographical area.
To achieve this commitment, a series of tree plantations campaigns have been launched across the country.
In July this year, the northern state of Uttar Pradesh created a world record by planting 5 million trees in a single day.
But what happens to these trees after they are planted isn't known.
Which is why Sengupta of the WWF India believes that long-term campaigns like Adopt a Tree, have the potential to really make a difference.
"We have seen through our various campaigns that people are becoming more and more aware of environmental issues around them. So they want to do something, which is simple, which is small yet has an impact."
Sengupta went on, "this is really a very simple thing that they are doing and as soon as they know that they actually have to look after it they also want to do small things associated with conservation and a greener planet. Things like being careful of your water consumption and energy consumption because it builds a sense of engagement."

Improving Board Effectiveness & Relationships
The chairman and CEO of an international research organization were both concerned at an apparent deterioration in their relationship. They reached out to us for help.
In response, we designed a confidential questionnaire focusing on the board's effectiveness, and on the relationship between the board and the CEO. Surprisingly, the picture that emerged revealed that relationship issues were not restricted to those between the Chairman and CEO, but were an issue between other board members as well. Other previously unidentified issues related to the functioning of the board were also revealed, including the recognition that a subgroup of the board shared information that was withheld from the rest of the board. We shared feedback without attribution, and facilitated problem solving sessions which led to a board plan to improve its own effectiveness.
The chairman and CEO repaired their relationship and subsequently worked together comfortably to help the rest of the board reach a level of openness not previously enjoyed. This enabled them to come together as a cohesive group and undertake the improvement plan to great success.

Officials tour new Encinitas Community Park
By Jared Whitlock
July 29, 2014 12:51 PM PT
Encinitas Parks and Recreation Commissioners saw firsthand the progress of the much-anticipated Encinitas Community Park during a July 24 tour.
"Just the size of it — it's what made an impression on me," Commissioner Sanford Shapiro said after the tour of the 44-acre park.
"It's still very walkable, with concrete paths throughout. And it seems there's something for everyone."
Shapiro said he was especially impressed with the design of the 2-acre Maggie Houlihan Memorial Dog Park, named after the late councilwoman.
The dog park features a large turf area, a spot for smaller dogs and another place that will let new dogs adjust before playing.
The nonprofit Encinitas Garden Festival & Tour committee recently donated $7,500 to help pay for future amenities there, such as a fountain or gazebo.
Shapiro said he also enjoyed walking through the 13,000-square-foot skatepark, complete with a skate plaza and bowl. In coming weeks, finishing touches like oak trees in planter boxes and a granite slab for skateboarders to slide across will go in at the skatepark.
The community park, behind the Vons off Santa Fe Drive, is slated to open sometime this fall.
John Frenken, park and beach superintendent, noted that even though the park isn't officially open, that hasn't stopped many from using the skatepark.
"They've been skating here for a while," Frenken said. "The word is out."
Frenken said it's up to USS Cal Builders, community park contractor, to provide security until construction is complete and the keys are turned over to the city. Until then, USS Cal Builders is liable for any injuries or damage on the property.
Skateboarders will be required to strap on a helmet, elbow pads and kneepads to take advantage of the park. Otherwise, they risk a fine. The council passed an ordinance spelling out those rules last fall to conform to state law.
The park will also feature two restrooms, a concession stand, a playground, a soccer field and three multi-use fields for sports like baseball and softball.
On that note, Frenken also emphasized that field lighting is not planned at the park, contrary to some rumors.
Slides, ropes and climbing structures have been installed at the playground, and a cushiony rubber surface will soon go in there.
Frenken said much of the park is finished. The city is primarily waiting for the grass — planted through a process called hydroseeding — to grow.
The community park will have 1,000 trees, ranging from palms to sycamores. They're expected to mature in five to 10 years, depending on the variety.
And the park will have two car entrances, off Santa Fe Drive and MacKinnon Avenue.
Acquiring the property cost the city $17.2 million, while construction will total an estimated $19.3 million. Work began on the park almost two years ago.

Former Leeds United and Bradford City duo sign for Town!
Harrogate Town Ladies are delighted to sign attacking midfielder Abi Lee and goalkeeper Carrie Simpson from Brighouse Town.
An extremely versatile player with outstanding technical ability, Abi joins Town after having previously spent spells at Leeds United, Bradford City and Huddersfield Town, as well as representing the England Lionesses at youth level.
Here's what First Team Mananger Kez Heugett had to say on Abi's arrival:
"Abi is an extremely gifted footballer and can play anywhere on the pitch, however, she is most deadly in the midfield and I'm looking forward to seeing her add composure and ruthlessness to the midfield as well as goals."
Goalkeeper Simpson has also played for Bradford City and Leeds United Women, and will provide a commanding presence in Town defensive box.
"Carrie is an unbelievable goalkeeper," Kez said. "She is a vocal goalkeeper who can play out from the back under pressure and that matches our philosophy. Carrie's cool, calm nature will add experience and composure to the back line and provide additional security to what's already an experienced defence.
"To be able to attract players of this calibre shows how far we have come in the last 15 weeks," Kez added. "Together we have built a fantastic squad but also an extremely positive culture which everyone has bought into and we all share the same goals, ambition and passion.
"My intentions were always to create a squad of great footballers but also genuinely good people who are honest, hardworking and have good morals. both Abi and Carrie have a wealth of experience, knowledge, talent and desire.
"They're big characters to have on and off the pitch and they'll add quality, composure and leadership. They both have experience at playing in Tier 3 in the football pyramid and know what it takes to get promoted. I'm absolutely thrilled to have them on board."
