Current prehospital traumatic brain injury guidelines use a systolic blood pressure threshold of less than 90 mm Hg for treating hypotension for individuals 10 years and older based on studies showing higher mortality when blood pressure drops below this level. However, the guidelines also acknowledge the weakness of the supporting evidence.
To evaluate whether any statistically supportable threshold between systolic pressure and mortality emerges from the data a priori, without assuming that a cut point exists.
Observational evaluation of a large prehospital database established as a part of the Excellence in Prehospital Injury Care Traumatic Brain Injury Study. Patients from the preimplementation cohort (January 2007 to March 2014) 10 years and older with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (Barell Matrix Type 1 classification, International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision head region severity score of 3 or greater, and/or Abbreviated Injury Scale head-region severity score of 3 or greater) and a prehospital systolic pressure between 40 and 119 mm Hg were included. The generalized additive model and logistic regression were used to determine the association between systolic pressure and probability of death, adjusting for significant/important confounders.
The main outcome measure was in-hospital mortality.
Among the 3844 included patients, 2565 (66.7%) were male, and the median (range) age was 35 (10-99) years. The model revealed a monotonically decreasing association between systolic pressure and adjusted probability of death across the entire range (ie, from 40 to 119 mm Hg). Each 10-point increase of systolic pressure was associated with a decrease in the adjusted odds of death of 18.8% (adjusted odds ratio, 0.812; 95% CI, 0.748-0.883). Thus, the adjusted odds of mortality increased as much for a drop from 110 to 100 mm Hg as for a drop from 90 to 80 mm Hg, and so on throughout the range.
We found a linear association between lowest prehospital systolic blood pressure and severity-adjusted probability of mortality across an exceptionally wide range. There is no identifiable threshold or inflection point between 40 and 119 mm Hg. Thus, in patients with traumatic brain injury, the concept that 90 mm Hg represents a unique or important physiological cut point may be wrong. Furthermore, clinically meaningful hypotension may not be as low as current guidelines suggest. Randomized trials evaluating treatment levels significantly above 90 mm Hg are needed.
Hemorrhage in the setting of severe trauma is a leading cause of death worldwide. The pathophysiology of hemorrhage and coagulopathy in severe trauma is complex and remains poorly understood. Most clinicians currently treating trauma patients acknowledge the presence of a coagulopathy unique to trauma patients—trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC)—independently associated with increased mortality. The complexity and incomplete understanding of TIC has resulted in significant controversy regarding optimum management. Although the majority of trauma centers utilize fixed-ratio massive transfusion protocols in severe traumatic hemorrhage, a widely accepted "ideal" transfusion ratio of blood to blood products remains elusive. The recent use of viscoelastic hemostatic assays (VHAs) to guide blood product replacement has further provoked debate as to the optimum transfusion strategy. The use of VHA to quantify the functional contributions of individual components of the coagulation system may permit targeted treatment of TIC but remains controversial and is unlikely to demonstrate a mortality benefit in light of the heterogeneity of the trauma population. Thus, VHA-guided algorithms as an alternative to fixed product ratios in trauma are not universally accepted, and a hybrid strategy starting with fixed-ratio transfusion and incorporating VHA data as they become available is favored by some institutions. We review the current evidence for the management of coagulopathy in trauma, the rationale behind the use of targeted and fixed-ratio approaches and explore future directions.
Background: Severe trauma continues to represent a global public health issue and mortality and morbidity in trauma patients remains substantial. A number of initiatives have aimed to provide guidance on the management of trauma patients. This document focuses on the management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following trauma and encourages adaptation of the guiding principles to each local situation and implementation within each institution.
Methods: The pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma was founded in 2004 and included representatives of six relevant European professional societies. The group used a structured, evidence-based consensus approach to address scientific queries that served as the basis for each recommendation and supporting rationale. Expert opinion and current clinical practice were also considered, particularly in areas in which randomised clinical trials have not or cannot be performed. Existing recommendations were reconsidered and revised based on new scientific evidence and observed shifts in clinical practice; new recommendations were formulated to reflect current clinical concerns and areas in which new research data have been generated. This guideline represents the fourth edition of a document first published in 2007 and updated in 2010 and 2013.
Results: The guideline now recommends that patients be transferred directly to an appropriate trauma treatment centre and encourages use of a restricted volume replacement strategy during initial resuscitation. Best-practice use of blood products during further resuscitation continues to evolve and should be guided by a goal-directed strategy. The identification and management of patients pre-treated with anticoagulant agents continues to pose a real challenge, despite accumulating experience and awareness. The present guideline should be viewed as an educational aid to improve and standardise the care of the bleeding trauma patients across Europe and beyond. This document may also serve as a basis for local implementation. Furthermore, local quality and safety management systems need to be established to specifically assess key measures of bleeding control and outcome.
Conclusions: A multidisciplinary approach and adherence to evidence-based guidance are key to improving patient outcomes. The implementation of locally adapted treatment algorithms should strive to achieve measureable improvements in patient outcome.
British Journal of Anaesthesia (2014) 113 (suppl 2): ii3-ii8.
The concept of rapid delivery of multiple blood products to the bedside of a massively haemorrhaging patient seems to be a logical approach to the management of the massively bleeding patient. However, controversy exists in the use of fixed blood component ratios. Assessing the extent of the coagulopathy through point-of-care testing might provide patients with product administration as needed, and avoid excessive transfusion and its associated complications.
Tension pneumothorax time for a re-think?
Tension pneumothorax (TPT) is an uncommon disease with a malignant course leading to death if untreated. It is most commonly encountered in prehospital trauma care, emergency departments, and intensive care units (ICUs). Resuscitation and trauma courses usually illustrate a patient in extremis and assume that the clinical diagnosis is straightforward and the response to needle chest decompression is rapid and reliable. However, this might not be the case in real life. Texts differ when describing the diagnostic symptoms and signs and there are several case reports of diagnostic difficulty or missed diagnosis because of an absence of "classic" signs. Lack of chest signs along with poor correlation between the signs present and those picked up by experienced physicians have been specifically noted. There have also been multiple reports of ineffective needle decompression with adequate treatment only being achieved with tube thoracostomy.

HealthCentral.com Swallows Vitamins.com
By Clint Boulton | March 16, 2000
In a bid to boost its health supplement offerings, HealthCentral.com Thursday grabbed Vitamins.com for $103.5 million in stock.
The number of shares to be issued will be based upon the average closing price of HealthCentral.com's common stock for the 10 trading days prior to one day before the closing date. Based on HealthCentral.com's recent trading price of $7 per share, approximately 14.8 million shares would be issued if this price per share remained constant, resulting in 36 percent of the fully diluted shares of the combined companies.
Upon completion of the deal, HealthCentral.com (HCEN) will gain about 200,000 Vitamins.com online clients. Vitamins.com also has a mail order business with an additional 175,000 active customers that purchased products in 1999, and demonstration and retail stores.
HealthCentral plans to use the clicks and bricks strategy to expand its reach and brand awareness. Vitamins.com's product lines will be integrated into HealthCentral.com's online drugstore, HealthCentralRx.com, increasing current offerings from 23,000 to 31,000 SKUs, 5,000 of which will represent prescription drugs and 26,000 of which will include health, beauty, wellness, personal care, vitamins, minerals, supplements and other products.
Robert Haft, president and chief executive officer of Vitamins.com, will continue to serve as president of the new wholly owned subsidiary. In his career, he has opened more than 600 new retail stores and brings to HealthCentral.com a team of e-commerce retailing experts.
"American consumers are projected to spend $16.6 billion in 2003 for vitamins, minerals and supplements due to the rising popularity of alternative medicines and therapies, and we are now poised to take advantage of this market opportunity," said HealthCentral.com President and Chief Executive Officer Albert Greene.
"Combining our product portfolios will provide consumers with an enhanced and personalized shopping experience and adds an additional 'bricks-and-mortar' legitimacy to our e-pharmacy business."

Cookies, Ice Cream, Peanut Butter Cups… all things I am sure that we have craved at least once (or 4,000 times) in our lives. They are so tasty yet the downfall for most of them is that they pack on the bad calories and sugar and make it that much harder to stay in shape, especially in the winter time! Well fear not, because here at Manhattan Digest we have found a bunch of different healthy snacks that will pack on the flavor but not on the pounds. Check and see what yummy options we think you will love to try out! Happy Snacking!
Wheat Thins have always had a great association with being a healthy snack you can enjoy almost any time of day. Well now they have upped the ante with their limited editing "Even Thinner" brand that you can find at your local supermarket. They are sleeker, thinner, munchier and according to Wheat Thins… Awesomier. Price marked at $3.69 per box, it is worth checking out with one or more the next time you go shopping. Check out this awesome vid they made on YouTube for more information.
We here at Manhattan Digest have been huge fans of KIND Snacks, so much so that they are the only snack to make a 2nd appearance on our annual list of must have snacks (Congrats, tasty bars!). KIND is a great example of the thing to grab when you are at the cashier and need something in a rush as opposed to a Snickers or TWIX.

The Central Bank of Russia has developed initiatives to increase minority shareholders' commitment to managing joint-stock companies. The regulatory authority proposes both crackdowns on passive minority shareholders (by means of excluding them from the register of shareholders or imposing restrictions on their rights) and soft law influence through stewardship codes. According to experts, severe measures are not effective, but the obligation to vote will have to be included in the statutory documents governing institutional investors' activities.
The Central Bank believes it necessary to take measures encouraging minority shareholders to participate in the management of Russian public companies. An advisory report addressing this issue was published on the regulatory authority's website on Monday. In Russia, non-controlling shareholders are typically passive when it comes to voting at general meetings, the report notes. This weakens the owners' control over such companies, leads to "inability to resist illegal decisions infringing on interests of the company and its owners and hampers the process of making key corporate decisions." This problem was previously identified in the research carried out by the Higher School of Economics (see the Kommersant issue dated April 19). The research showed that only a small part of minority shareholders (no more than 15-30% of the free float on average) vote at general shareholders meetings. During a discussion of the research results, Elena Kuritsyna, head of the Central Bank's Corporate Relations Department, noted that this issue required the development of policies for institutional investors and control over their implementation.
The methods of motivation for minority shareholders proposed by the Central Bank are consistent with international practices. The most radical approach assumes the "imposition of legal consequences of the non-participation (or inactive participation) of shareholders in general meetings." The consequences include exclusion from the register of PJSC shareholders, restriction of rights and mandatory repurchase of shares followed by their cancellation or allotment to other shareholders. These measures, however, are not going to be effective, Alexander Shevchuk, Executive Director of Russia's Association of Institutional Investors (API), notes. "Our point is that the requirement for institutional, qualified investors to vote at general shareholders meetings should probably be included in local regulations," he says. NPFs support this initiative. "It is necessary that all the elements in the 'NPF – asset manager – issuer' chain fully disclose information demonstrating the logic of what they do to increase capitalization, reduce costs, improve social responsibility of businesses," NPF Safmar's Executive Director Yevgeny Yakushev commented.
Another, more lenient remedy is the application of "soft regulation" based on recommendations or stewardship codes. For example, the British Stewardship Code recommends having a well-thought-out policy for managing conflicts of interest associated with the governance of companies invested in and its public disclosure, being ready to act in alliance with other investors, developing a clear voting policy, etc. According to Mr. Shevchuk, the API is already working on a Stewardship Code which could be controlled by investors and the regulatory authority as necessary.
The Bank's report also highlights the international practice of engaging outsourcers for consulting on voting matters. Institutional Shareholder Services and Broadridge are the world's best known providers of such services. While no firms perfectly similar to these global pace-setters have so far manifested themselves in domestic practice, such providers are definitely of use to shareholders not possessing the required expertise or resources and can effectively consolidate investors' opinions. There are no plans to forcefully impose such a provider – the decision will be left to the market. "The API has, to a limited extent, already engaged in voting consultancy providing such services to its members. If we see massive demand, we are ready to extend this practice to the whole market," Mr. Shevchuk said.


Oliver Goetzendorff, Area Manager for the Latin America region, presented the latest products on offer from W&H, including the outstanding LED light, found in instruments, and the new MS autoclave. This was followed by a cocktail reception, where guests were able to test the products out at presentation counters that had been set up especially for the occasion. W&H joined forces with its partner Implantec to provide visitors with some fantastic special offers, which are available exclusively once a year at these Innovation Day events.
Expert talks formed the main focus of the Innovation Days, with renowned guest speakers coming along to discuss current clinical topics.
For example, this year, visitors could further their knowledge by attending the talk given by Dr Jairo Vargas, Oral Surgeon and University Professor in Costa Rica, on the subject of ultrasound surgery . Under the title 'Extracción de cordales con Piezomed?', Dr Vargas gave a live demonstration of a wisdom tooth extraction. Plus, Dr Lucas Gil presented possible applications of the W&H EM-E6 electric motor, giving audience members the chance to test it out for themselves after the talk.
As in previous years, the 28th W&H Innovation Day in Costa Rica proved a great success, offering guests the ideal opportunity to share their valuable experiences and knowledge with one another. The next event in the 'W&H Innovation Days' series is set to take place on 8 April 2016 in Guatemala City.

State of New Mexico to invest in hemp manufacturing firm
Wednesday, December 4th 2019, 6:50 PM CST
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A hemp manufacturing business in southern New Mexico will get a boost from the state Economic Development Department.
The agency announced Wednesday that it has pledged to invest $400,000 in 420 Valley LLC as part of a continued effort by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's administration to grow the burgeoning industry.
The company plans to move into a vacant building in Las Cruces, where it will cultivate hemp and extract and refine it into manufactured products such as oil, edibles and topical ointments.
The business plans to start hiring workers early next year. Payroll is expected to be $2 million in three years.
Company officials say they have worked with farmers in Deming to successfully grow and harvest hemp and are currently consulting with an indoor grow facility in Las Cruces and a manufacturing facility in Socorro.
Lujan Grisham said hemp production and other sustainable agriculture ventures will be essential as New Mexico works to diversify its economy.
"We must think broader than one industry and one industry alone; we must create opportunity for New Mexico entrepreneurs and residents of all ages who are eager to find fulfilling work and launch sustainable careers," she said in a statement.
Aside from the state's local economic development funds that will be invested in the project, the city of Las Cruces has pledged $150,000.
This marks the second state investment in the hemp industry. The Economic Development Department in May pledged up to $2 million in assistance to Rich Global Hemp, which took over a greenhouse in La Mesilla and plans to hire 180 employees.

Following the Torah maxim to teach a student ke-darko, according to the way he or she learns best, many Jewish day schools today feature programs for differentiated learning and implement best practices in progressive education. No matter how much time a teacher spends differentiating lessons, however, an outlier student with an assortment of unusual talents offset by daydreaming or intense emotionality may stubbornly elude understanding even from the most caring teacher or administrator.
Deeply ingrained attitudes and mindsets regarding fairness and equality may influence a teacher's decision to embrace or reject differentiated practices. Questions relating to student equality, relative distribution of support among students, and reasonable expectations of teachers may weigh on educators when considering implementation of differentiation. A powerful predictor of whether, how, how often and how successfully a teacher will differentiate his or her instruction is the teacher's mindset about fairness and justice within differentiation.
Before launching a private consulting practice, I served for five years as director of development at a sizable Orthodox school in a major metropolis. On my first visit as a consultant to a small school, I found myself mentally noting all of the "mistakes" my client, the head of school, was making. Board members were involved in grant writing and reporting. The school could not afford a development director, so her lay leadership coordinated the fundraising program. She was allowing her development committee to spend too much time on events.
In all classrooms, teachers encounter diverse students with individual strengths and challenges. Typically, teachers celebrate student successes and feel frustration with students who find learning to be challenging or exhibit disruptive behaviors. This reaction is, in part, a relic of the behaviorist approach to education of the 20th century and further supported by an education system that praises teachers who minimize behavioral disruptions and produce high test scores in their classrooms (Mary Brownell et al., "Special Education Teacher Quality and Preparation").
Differentiation in the classroom, artfully executed, undoubtedly holds the power to enhance student growth and development. In part, it's a matter of identifying individual student strengths and potentials and capitalizing on them. Similarly, on a broader scale, identifying and capitalizing on the strengths and potential of our schools is a means of differentiating them from the competition, and thereby enhancing their growth and development.
With the new school year under way, the team at Prizmah wishes every Jewish day school the greatest success for 2017-18/5778.
I recently had the privilege of attending a Prizmah convening of development professionals for some of the largest day schools across the country. Hosted by The Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Maryland and ably facilitated by our new COO, Elissa Maier, the convening was a wonderful example of the important role Prizmah can play in bringing schools together to learn from outside experts and share best practices. The high level of discussion, dedication and creativity was impressive.
Advocacy is the act of speaking on behalf of or in support of another person or idea. Your Prizmah school advocates serve that role and so much more. Our team is focused on making sure that we get you what you need, be it an answer to an administrative or curricular question, information about a Prizmah program or a connection to a colleague. We strive to meet the needs of all our schools, understand the distinct differences among us and see the commonalities that bind us in the field of Jewish education.
Recent work in neuroscience and psychology reveals two findings that should be central in educational planning. First, virtually all brains are malleable. When we teach as though students are smart, they become smarter.
Differentiated instruction (DI), as a pedagogical technique, has high aspirations. It aims to create a personalized classroom experience for each student, one that allows a degree of ownership and access far more than the types of classes most students experience today. A class that's ultimately student-responsive, the argument for DI goes, is not just an educational good, insofar as it compels students to individually engage and own particular subjects. It is also, fundamentally, a moral good.
My board doesn't want to fundraise, and the responsibility has fallen on the shoulders of my head of school, development director and development chair. How can I work with my board so fundraising becomes more of a team effort?
When board members say they don't want to fundraise, they're usually referring to the actual "ask." It's safe to say that a majority of people do not like to ask for money. They may feel uncomfortable about asking others for money, upset about anticipated rejection, or worried about annoying friends and colleagues.
QUESTION: Boards are made up of individuals with different areas of expertise and experience. What strategies have you used to effectively engage all board members?
At our school, board engagement is a top priority. The team who wrote the first set of by-laws were already thinking about board member engagement when it was decided to keep the board of trustees limited to between 12 and 18 members. This size gives everyone a chance to have his/her voice heard at meetings.


In its Electric Avenues paper, the WWF claims 6% of UK cars, or 1.7 million vehicles, would need to be electric by 2020 to meet targets required by the UK Climate Change Act. By 2030, 6.4 million EVs would be required, representing 18% of the country's cars.
By doing so, the UK could see an 80% reduction in fuel demand by 2030, representing a £5bn cost reduction in the process. With several large scale manufacturers based in the UK, WWF said this would also support domestic industry.
But it said this was also dependent on the mileage covered by drivers, which would need to be reduced, and the way the electricity was generated. Night time charging, for example, dramatically reduced the dependency on fossil fuels.
The organisation called on governments to help with the process, which relies on an improved charging infrastructure for EV drivers, with more charging points and a upgrades to the National Grid to cope with the extra demand and remain stable.

In less than three decades Hamas health care activities have transformed dramatically. This transformation in health care has mirrored Hamas's own evolution, albeit incomplete, from a militant organization to a de facto government. In the process the Islamic movement has gone from coordinating dozens of medical clinics and charities in the West Bank and Gaza to managing a multimillion dollar health ministry with thousands of employees and hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries. Once seen as a religious duty and a practical recruiting tool, Hamas's health care agenda is now one of practical governance and political survival.
This paper traces the evolution of Hamas's health care services from the movement's origins to its current role as the de facto government of Gaza. The paper focuses primarily on the impact of Palestinian divisions on the development of Gaza's health sector since Hamas's takeover of Gaza in June 2007, and it examines how regional trends in 2011 have influenced internal Palestinian dynamics that will likely shape Gaza's health care sector and the Palestinian population more broadly in the future. Finally, the paper examines the U.S. policy implications of Hamas's successful management of health services in Gaza.

Review: Hampton Legion Infantry C.S.A.
Written by Brett Schulte
This is the first of four reviews scheduled for Tuesdays in March. Each review will cover one of the first four volumes of the South Carolina Regimental-Roster Set series from Broadfoot Publishing Company. A significant portion of each review will show you how this particular volume compared to the others in the series in terms of regimental history length, amount of annotation, depth and print size of rosters, bibliography, illustrations, and maps. I do this to show readers just how different each volume can be. The South Carolina Regimental-Roster Set bears a striking external appearance to the H.E. Howard Virginia Regimental Histories series. These books were, in fact designed as a South Carolina answer to the Virginia unit histories. Broadfoot hopes to publish 50 volumes in this set, but that plan is dependent on how well these and subsequent books in the series sell. If you are interested in seeing this entire series printed, I encourage you to pick up these volumes immediately rather than put off purchases until later.

Some very good things can result when an author has extra material left over from a previous book. Such is the case with Roll Call to Destiny, Brent Nosworthy's worthy follow-up to his earlier work The Bloody Crucible of Courage: Fighting Methods and Combat Experience of the Civil War. In Roll Call, the author looks at varied and unconnected small unit actions from throughout the war from the soldiers' perspective. The ultimate goal is to give readers a "you are there" feel while also reinforcing Nosworthy's conclusions from The Bloody Crucible of Courage.

Review: One Continuous Fight (Gettysburg Retreat)
Who knows anything about Lee's retreat from Gettysburg? Despite copious amounts of literature dedicated to the opening portions of the campaign and the battle itself, very little has been written (and hence read) about Lee's difficult withdrawal across the South Mountain range to Williamsport and Falling Waters, and the eventual retreat across the flooded Potomac River, all while actively facing the pursuing Army of the Potomac.

Low-income communities neglected, says Grant - by Colville Mounsey July 5, 2019
Colville Mounsey
Following the death of 17 year-old Kyrique Boyce, who fell 100 feet into a well on Thursday in his Pine neighbourhood, a long-standing community activist is calling for an end to the cycle of prioritising the concerns of "poorer" communities only after tragedy strikes.
According to head of the Pinelands Creative Workshop, Rodney Grant, yesterday's incident was the sad manifestation of an example of neglect of the National Housing Corporation (NHC) units in that community by successive governments.
Grant, who was the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) candidate for St Michael South East in the last general election, made it clear that he was not blaming the current Barbados Labour Party (BLP) Government for the state of affairs at the housing units, as this culture of "neglecting low-income communities" did not begin last year.
Yesterday, residents of the Pine openly voiced frustration and anger, charging that the death of the teen could have been avoided, had the NHC heeded their months of pleadings to have the cover to the well in question fixed. This morning a crew from the NHC was dispatched to fix the issue, hours after rescue workers pulled Boyce's lifeless body from the hole.
"It seems that we always like to respond after the fact and that is the sad fact. After the tragedy, we show up with all of the workmen and try to do all of the corrective work. Before, we do all of the official walkthroughs and we see the problems, but we never follow through until disaster strikes," said Grant.
He further argued, "I have always said that communities like the Pine are always neglected in more ways than one and the fact is that we cannot continue to neglect these low-income communities that are already struggling. People are suffering because they are already under severe social and economic stress and then you can't get a response from these social agencies that are supposed to be ensuring that you have a basic, decent standard of living."
Grant told Barbados TODAY that the housing units have turned into a slum, as the structures have been allowed to deteriorate to the point where many of them have become fire and health hazards.
"The Pine is the oldest national housing project and it has two NHC depots in it, the large one down Pine Road and the other in Factory Avenue. Yet you can't get anything done. The next thing that we are going to have is a serious fire outbreak because they have left these units to rust, they are falling apart and some people tell you that when they turn on their pipes they get [an electric] shock. The housing estate is in disrepair," Grant stressed.
He argued that during this period of economic recovery, it was especially critical for Government to assist in the improvement of living standards for those at the bottom of the economic and social ladder.
"Now that we are having economic challenges, we cannot ignore the plight of those at the bottom because if we are facing economic challenges, those at the bottom are going to feel it the most. This means that they are going to be unable to do the basic things for themselves. You can't have a NHC telling these people to repair things themselves during an economic crisis. You can't be serious," he said.
The community activist further noted, "I really don't understand where the priorities are. These things should be priority because we are talking about human beings and these people require the same type of investment as anybody in any other part of society. So, we have to create some kind of balance for development, economic progress and social progress." [email protected]

If you take the Tax Revenue and savings from not paying Gov't debt to pre-retirement seniors who need their interest to live as well as the increased taxes on Water, fuel, NIS, Land Tax etc. and give it away in Trump style fat Corporation Tax cuts to the biggest businesses and the high income earners, i.e above $8,000/month and up, then claim you have "limited resources" to spend on fixing the country's infrastructure you are heading for disaster. But this is the IMF "trickle down" theory of making a country rich by transferring wealth from the bottom to the top.
The Gov't is the landlord in the housing units and they have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe standard for their tenants. If there is an accident – they are legally liable, just as any other landlord would be.
roger parish says:
Well Mr GRANT i am glad to see you aint blaming this present GOVERNMENT. because its the last 10 years of LEADERSHIP THAT FAILED THE COUNTRY OF BARBADOS, even though you werent a MINISTER you had STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE DLP, and you could have ask the ppl in the pine what concerns they had, cause i was told that the well had stated to show SIGNS OF BREAK OFFS WITH IN THE LAST 6 YEARS, and that ppl were asking for some thing to be done,
I heard from my friend Mr**** who have family not far from where the incident occured, that some of the residents were so up set that they would have tried to push one of the workers in the well, which wouldnt have solve anything, because it wasnt the ppl who came to fix it fault,but the loud mouth lady on the news that i saw here in miami said no one would have done them anything, it was a lie she told base on what my friend said,
The pine was always a bad place and is a bad place and will continue to be a bad place, that is why ppl find it hard and are fearful for they lives going there

Botswana, officially the Republic of Botswana (Tswana: Lefatshe la Botswana), is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. Botswana is flat, and up to 70% is covered by the Kalahari Desert. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west and north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. Botswana has diverse areas of wildlife habitat. In addition to the delta and desert areas, there are grasslands and savannas, where Blue Wildebeest, antelopes, and other mammals and birds are found.
Botswana is semi-arid, due to the short rain season. However, the relatively high altitude of the country and its continental situation gives it a subtropical climate. The country is remote from moisture-laden air flows for most of the year. The dry season lasts from April to October in the south and to November in the north where, however, rainfall totals are higher. The south of the country is most exposed to cold winds during the winter period (early May to late August) when average temperatures are around 14 °C (57.2 °F). The whole country has hot summers with average temperatures around 26 °C (78.8 °F). Sunshine totals are high all year round although winter is the sunniest period. The whole country is windy and dusty during the dry season.
The official language of Botswana is English although Setswana is widely spoken across the country. In Setswana prefixes are more important than they are in many other languages. These prefixes include "Bo", which refers to the country, "Ba", which refers to the people, "Mo", which is one person, and "Se" which is the language. For example, the main tribe of Botswana is the Tswana people, hence the name Botswana for its country. The people as a whole are Batswana, one person is a Motswana, and the language they speak is Setswana. Other languages spoken in Botswana include, Kalanga(sekalanga), Sarwa (sesarwa), Ndebele and in some parts Afrikaans.


Pro Rail Services provides a bespoke range of on and off-track plant equipment.
Pro Rail Services has partnered with the Dutch manufacturer Pladdet to bring their market leading Suction Unit to the UK market. Working with Pladdet, we have brought this item through Network Rail Product Approval and it is now available for use on Network Rail Infrastructure.
The Suction Unit brings dramatic improvements to efficiency and safety, for example, of catch-pit clearance works, due to the reduced manpower needed and the speed and strength of the suction unit. The units come with added safety features, such as the ability to operate it from the cab via camera systems attached to the unit, reducing human contact and therefore reduce the risk of potential injuries with exposure to "working with moving equipment" (Network Rail Life Saving Rules).
Our two units are the one ones available in the UK.
Please click on the links below to find out more about the equipment we currently own and keep up to date with new additions joining the fleet.

It is one of the earliest cities to be granted Special Economic Zones (SEZs) status which include special economic policies and flexible governmental measures aimed at fostering economic reforms.
Its proximity to Hong Kong as well as its enterprising and hardworking population has transformed what was a fishing village less than 30 years ago to one of the richest and most economically successful cities in China. It has a vibrant financial sector with many commercial banks setting up offices in Shenzhen. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange is one of the most important exchanges in Asia.
Famous tourist attractions in Shenzhen City include the Window of the World, the Chinese Folk Culture Village, Splendid China and the Safari Park.
The Window of the World is a massive theme park with real size replicas of the world's famous heritage structures such as the Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Egyptian Pyramid.

Respect in Critical Care: A Foundational Ethical Principle

Demonstrating respect is the hallmark of excellence in caring for critically ill patients and their families. Understanding the meaning of respect and the strategies that foster it are foundational for nurses as interdisciplinary healthcare professionals. Basically, respect is the act of esteeming another. Demonstrated by word and deed, it is fostered by attending to the whole person by involving the patient and family in decision making, providing family-centered care, bearing witness, and adopting a broader perspective marked by cultural humility. By creating processes that ensure everyone's views are heard, healthcare professionals as well as patients and their families are supported. One key process, known as the "Council Process," shifts dialogue from telling to discovering, from judging to inquiring; it neutralizes conjecture, fosters the acceptance of moral conflict, and protects the integrity of healthcare professionals and their organizations. Acknowledging respect as a foundational ethical principle is the first step toward relationally rich healthcare environments for patients, families, and professionals.


Discussion in 'OT (OFF Topic) Forums' started by E CLASS, Jul 12, 2011.
Bit mad what with the track and all where it is - so kind of agree with him. However his comments (on Manchester) are as usual inflamatory.
However if Sian Williams and Chris Hollins don't want to move let them go - what a waste of space those two are!
Replace him and all the rest with Jason Plato and that fit German bird from the Nurburgring ring !!
Oh god not Plato.....but I do like Sabine Schmidt.
After his attempt at a chat show sank like the Titanic he'd be well advised to go where the BBC ask him to and keep his gravy train running.
.but I do like Sabine Schmidt.
I think guest presenters would be great along with a two anchors.
You and me both. He is a northerner, anyway, from Doncaster..
He isn't exactly well loved around these parts.
I remember Clarkson slagging off Tom Cruise to Mark Wahlberg, yet when Cruise came on Top Gear he was like a little puppy dog!
Totally agree with sweetpea-good riddance.
i think Jeremy Clarkson is now just a parody of himself as a young presenter.
Bye Jezza. Off to the crusher with you.
But! Thank you for great shows over the years. Its now time to let the show move on.
Perhaps the BBC can get "scrappage allowance" on him.
I'd move him to Salford just to see if he would quit.
Enjoy TG but equally enjoy grumpy old arrogant loud mouth farts being cut down to size.
I recall Plato doing a review of a BMW for 5thG that was the most boring piece of television I have ever watched.
Sabine OTOH would my vote to join the team though May might object to letting her loose on the 'ring.
It just cracks me up to read some of the idiotic comments about Clarkson and crew on the MSN website.
He and the show are described as "Marmite television" and that I agree with- if you don't like it don't watch the bloody thing. The complaints about the stunts and the fact that they're tearing around in supercars that bear no relation to what the average man drives misses the point of what TG has become and why it is so popular. It is there for entertainment pure and simple, if you want to watch informative television about everyday cars then watch 5th gear or even better TG re-runs circa 1986 with William Woolard or Noel Edmunds and his dodgy knitwear.
With regard to his not inconsiderable salary and that of his cohorts, I think it is probably worth remembering that TG is the biggest export, ie moneyspinner, that the Beeb has ever had so it could be argued they're worth the money.
Finally, there seems to be a trend developing here because it was two weeks ago that Carlos Tevez was in the Argentinian press saying what a $hit-hole Manchester is. I agree with the pair of them. There are parts of Manchester and particularly Salford which are horrible. In particular, opposite Salford Quays, you've got one of the most violent estates (Ordsall) in the whole of the two cities. I could imagine that if TG moves to the Quays, reports of high value car-jacking will go through the roof. Maybe Clarkson would feel better if the Beeb moved to Alderley edge or Wilmslow but I suspect his main gripe is that he can fall out of bed where he currently lives and be at work.
Oh and finally, I speak from experience before anybody says anything- I was born in Salford and spent the greater part of my life living around the Greater Manchester area. It's bloody grim up north, well certainly parts of it are, some of it's very nice!
I suspect his main gripe is that he can fall out of bed where he currently lives and be at work.
I don't think that's the case. JC lives in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire (although recent reports of marital disharmony have him living in a flat in London) and the current TG test track is in Dunsfold, Surrey, between Guildford and Horsham.
OK, Manchester is further away but the existing location isn't exactly on his doorstep.

La Collada de Morrano, és un coll que es troba en el límit dels termes municipals de la Vall de Boí (Alta Ribagorça) i la Torre de Cabdella (Pallars Jussà), en el límit del Parc Nacional d'Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici i la seva zona perifèrica.

El nom podria ser l'equivalent ibero-aquità del romànic morro. El coll està situat a 2.633,3 metres d'altitud, entre el Pic de Morrano a l'oest, i un petit pic al nord-est a mig camí del Pic de Mariolo; comunica la Vall de Morrano (NO) i el circ de Cogomella (SE). Antigament hi passava un dels camins de bast de Cabdella a Caldes de Boí.

Rutes
Sortint del Planell d'Aigüestortes direcció sud-est, el camí travessa el Pletiu Davall de Morrano i remunta el fort pendent fins a trobar el Pletiu de Damont de Morrano. Després es ressegueix el barranc que, direcció sud-est, travessa Aigües Tortes de Morrano i fins a l'Estany de la Ribera. Un cop a l'extrem sud-oriental de l'estany, tan sols resta la pronunciada rampa que ens separa del coll.

For your consideration: Some modest ideas for changing the world.
But, at the end of the day, it is not up to the courts or the legislature or some activist group spewing out uninformed drivel about "Freedom of Speech" without understanding what it is and is not. It is up to me as the publisher, it is up to Mark Zukerberg, Jack Dorsey, the heads of Google, Instagram, GoDaddy, all the web hosting companies, and online media outlets to take the moral high ground and when they come face to face with hate speech to "know it when they see it" and not look away, but confront it, delete it, and block the distributor of it.

I had considered throwing this in as a side plot involving the Giovanni vampires in the city. There was supposed to be 3 options for this. Either a half wraith shows up in town to harass the Giovanni. The Giovanni are actively hunting a half wraith they find out is in town. Or a half wraith is made by accident.
In my story so far one player made a devil's deal with the Giovanni to resurrect some clansmen who fell in battle. So he had to find new bodies for them to inhabit. It was supposed to be a sinister scene. Now I'm guessing one of the NPCs could be those half wraith in question.
Has anyone run this merit before in their campaign? Was there something that wasnt considered?
This could introduce more plot lines involving stepping through the gauntlet.
Hrrm. Vampires don't really have such an easy time moving through the Gauntlet, I believe you only can through Astral Projection (Auspex) and that would just send you straight into High Umbra, while the half wraith moves into the Shadowlands. As far as I remember not even the Giovanni can enter the Dark Umbra, there's no discipline and no ritual to allow such a thing.
I think you'd better keep the plot on the regular side of the Gauntlet as long as you're handling a Masquerade campaign, there would be little to none ways to reach the other side. If you're okay with having the Giovanni bind spectres and send them on the trail of the half-wraith when he's on the other side, though, it could work just fine. You could even give your players one ghost each and have them play as the servants that track the half wraith to force him back into the material world.


A replacement icon for Mac OSX Dashboard (Leopard ready).
Beautiful work on this. Thanks man!
Is it possible to made a black/red Version?
As I said on Macthemes.com forum, awesome icon. You have skills. Hope to see some more work form you.


Would be apt when the motive of the grant had ceased, to reclaim dating profile template free the lands as a reversion. Men that all say similar things and who have similar dating profiles. Your dating with a powerful admin dashboard. The Sexual Profile is not my style at all, boys tamil movie dating lyrics but I have certainly seen it work for many guys.
Shone supple and graceful among the uncouth, awkward, hairy brutes about him. You women can be so cruel sometimes. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. We generate one type of profile using one of the many techniques that we have found to work for you. Some of these have worked for me, others have worked for other guys.
The Combo Profile This template is almost a combination of the above two profiles. Ok, we just made up that profile. Also for this reason, these profiles are harder to write, and require decent writing ability in order to properly straddle that line. Read more free tips for writing better profiles or learn why this profile would actually work. Just a set of rules that we engineered from what we've learned works.
Most people spend too much time optimizing their profile. The Rationale of Judicial Evidence is one of the richest in matter of all Bentham's productions. He referred to the military chiefly in relation to the Miss Stollers ineffectual flirtations. Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships.
From there, it does not follow a specific flow, but rather throws a very strong outcome independent vibe at the reader. But if you qualify, maybe you can join me.
But, well chosen, this limited life would be really the fullest life it would be rich in the highest and worthiest. Instead of resorting to the standard technique of using stereotyped dialect to capture the flavor. How many fun activities have you participated in last week? Have you thought about what the first email you send should look like? Women only want to take things to the next level with you if you make them feel comfortable and safe.
Tell stories using all senses smell, touch, sound, etc. Some photos of you displaying your talent, you visiting a famous place, you and friends, you acting crazy not drunk, I said crazy! The Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air. The woman to man ratio changes over time.
Let the plate and dishes be pewter, wood, or earth my meat be boiled or roasted let them give me butter or oil. So I would generally avoid this template unless you really understand comedy well. She turned her face towards the door, and Mrs Brooks could see the pain upon it. One who can both be sweet and tough, classy and straight up goofy, etc.

Q: TFS API: Find all test suites for a certain test case I'm looking for a TFS API request to fetch all test suites (ids) that contains a certain test case.
Using the example form the TFS API page:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/integrate/api/test/suites
https://fabrikam-fiber-inc.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/test/suites?testCaseId=341&api-version=2.0-preview
... I get the response: 404 Page not found
(filled with my server and project etc.)
Is the example by Microsoft wrong?
Or is there another way to get all suites for a test case (not using the .NET way)?

A: Update
You need to use the url without {project}. Seems the sample in the link is also lacking {project}
GET https://fabrikam-fiber-inc.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/test/suites?testCaseId=341&api-version=2.0-preview
However the API is including the project. Not sure if it's a content issue. Will double confirm and update to you.

Since the error is 404 Page not found, please double check if you are using the wrong url(such as with an extra space). Try to change a test case ID, double confirm there are test suits under the test case. You could also use postman to give a test with the API.

Usually, it is sensible to class parts based from subject also theme. Replace wyatt sideboards if needed, such time you feel as though they are lovable to the attention and they be the better choice naturally, in keeping with their character. Decide on a room that currently is optimal size also position to sideboards and dressers you prefer to place. If perhaps its wyatt sideboards is one particular unit, various components, a focal point or sometimes an importance of the room's additional features, it is necessary that you put it in a way that stays depending on the room's proportions and scheme.
Based on the ideal appearance, you really should keep on similar colors grouped in one, or maybe you may like to disband colors in a sporadic way. Make important awareness of the best way that wyatt sideboards correspond with the other. Big sideboards and dressers, most important elements must be well-balanced with smaller sized or less important components.
There are a variety spots you could potentially apply the sideboards and dressers, in that case think about installation spots and grouping things depending on measurements, color selection, object and also theme. The size, pattern, theme also number of objects in your living space could possibly influence what way they should be arranged as well as to receive visual of how they correspond with every other in dimensions, variation, decoration, layout and also color choice.
Recognized the wyatt sideboards this is because brings an element of energy to your living area. Your decision of sideboards and dressers mostly displays your style, your tastes, your motives, small think also that not only the selection of sideboards and dressers, and as well its placement should have several attention. Taking a bit of know-how, you can discover wyatt sideboards that meets most of your preferences together with purposes. I suggest you take a look at the provided area, set ideas from your own home, and identify the stuff we had select for the ideal sideboards and dressers.
In addition, don't fear to enjoy variety of color choice and even layout. Even though one particular component of differently coloured furnishing would typically look different, you can find ideas to pair home furniture with each other to make sure they blend to the wyatt sideboards nicely. Although enjoying color is normally considered acceptable, make sure that you never design a location without unified style and color, because this could create the room look inconsequent also disorganized.
Express your current requirements with wyatt sideboards, take into consideration in case it is easy to love the style and design couple of years from today. If you are within a strict budget, be concerned about dealing with the things you currently have, evaluate all your sideboards and dressers, and be certain you can still re-purpose these to install onto your new style. Re-decorating with sideboards and dressers is a great technique to provide the home a perfect look. Besides your personal designs, it may help to have a few suggestions on decorating with wyatt sideboards. Keep yourself to all of your preference when you start to give some thought to alternative design and style, decoration, and accent choices and furnish to establish your house a warm, comfy and attractive one.
It's necessary to decide on a style for the wyatt sideboards. When you don't absolutely need to get an individual design, this will help you determine exactly what sideboards and dressers to buy and which varieties of color options and patterns to apply. You can also get ideas by reading through on webpages, browsing through home interior decorating catalogs and magazines, accessing various furniture marketplace then collecting of samples that work for you.
Choose an appropriate place and after that arrange the sideboards and dressers in an area that is harmonious dimensions to the wyatt sideboards, that is associated with the it's advantage. As an illustration, when you need a large sideboards and dressers to be the point of interest of a room, then you definitely really need to put it in a place that is really visible from the room's entry places and be sure not to overrun the piece with the interior's style.


I knew it was not new.
I felt like life in exile.
And I plugged into the waves of emotions.
With your voice whisper in my earlobe, sending a chill to the spine.
And with every increasing mile, the love just grew deeper.
As time passed, the universe unfolded.
Our stories of affection and aspiration moulded.
You healed them with your kiss.
Your arms were the only cuddle.

For six graduates and current students from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Midtown, the chance to install their art in various locations throughout the posh shopping district is a golden opportunity to showcase what they do. In July, the group was selected from among 15 entries to put their work in various spaces throughout the property. Dubbed Buckhead Loves Locals, the program will keep the art in place through the rest of this year.

Berzsenyi Dániel (Megyei) Könyvtár

Egy központi gyűjtemény (Antall József tér 1.) és öt fiókkönyvtár (Jáki úti, Hanyadi úti, Kámoni, Perinti, Szentkirályi)

1880-ban alapították a szombathelyi múzeum könyvtárát, melynek vezetését 1924-től haláláig Pável Ágoston vállalta. Az ő tevékenységének köszönhetően vált a könyvtár áttekinthetővé. A hiányzó köteteket pótolta, nyomtatott katalógust állíttatott elő. A múzeumi könyvtárból nőtte később ki magát az önálló Berzsenyi Dániel Megyei Könyvtár. Pável 1928 februárjában felhívással fordult a Vas megyei könyvkiadókhoz, hogy az általuk nyomatott könyvekből egy-egy tiszteletpéldányt juttassanak el a könyvtárhoz. Az így megkapott könyvek lettek az alapjai a könyvtár helytörténeti gyűjteményének.

Mielőtt a könyvtár épülete elfoglalta a mostani helyét a Főtéren (Köztársaság téren) állt, a későbbi (azóta megszűnt) BM Klub helyén. Az új épületet Medvedt László tervei alapján építették a Petőfi Sándor utcában. 1970. december 12-én adták át, előtte kis park szökőkúttal.  A könyvtárat 2001/2002-ben címzett állami támogatással felújították és bővítették. Az építésztervezők Kiniczky István és Tölgyesi Ernőné voltak. Berendező és belső kialakítás:  dr. Lábdyné Fülöp Melinda.
Az átépítés idejére a könyvtár a Szent Márton úton kapott ideiglenes helyet.

Jelenleg több, mint 427 ezer kötettel rendelkezik (ezen kívül folyóirat, CD, VHS, DVD stb. állomány). Kiemelten gyűjtik a helytörténeti vonatkozású könyveket (Savariensia gyűjtemény).

Rendszeresen megjelenő kiadványok:
- Vas megye irodalma. Bibliográfia és repertórium
- Vas Megyei Könyvtárak Értesítője
- Vasi életrajzi bibliográfiák sorozat

Savaria Egyetemi Könyvtár (volt Berzsenyi Dániel Főiskola Könyvtára)

Cím: Károlyi Gáspár tér 4.

A régió legnagyobb pedagógiai szakkönyvtára.
1959. december 31-én alakult. Az intézeti könyvtár kialakítása a kőszegi és a zalaegerszegi tanítóképző intézetből történt. Az induló állomány 3121 kötet volt.
1963-ban választották meg a könyvtár első vezetőjét: Tóth Gyulánét.
A könyvtár nemrégen a főiskola új épületébe, az ún. Forrásközpontba költözött át.

Szent Márton Könyvtár

Jelenlegi cím: Hollán Ernő utca 2.

Mikes János megyés püspök először 1930-ban hozott létre ezzel a névvel könyvtárat, azzal a céllal, hogy a papi hagyatékokból összegyűlt, ám a nagyobb könyvtárak számára felesleges könyvekből a lakosság számára is hozzáférhető gyűjteményt teremtsen meg. A kezdeti állomány 1281 kötetből állt. A könyvtárat 1949-ben felszámolták. Az állományt dr. Konkoly István megyés püspök rejtette el. Ezekből a könyvekből alakult újjá 1996-ban a könyvtár.
Az állomány csupán egyharmada vallási jellegű. Számos könyvritkaság megtalálható itt. Pl.: Széchenyi István Kelet népe című írásának dedikált példánya első kiadásban.
Kiemelten gyűjtik a Szent Mártonról, illetve Batthyány-Strattmann Lászlóról szóló hazai kiadványokat.
