Day 1 San Cristobal Island Airport: Arrival and Transfer to the boat & San Cristobal Island: Puerto Chino or Breeding Center Jacinto Gordillo
"Jacinto Gordillo" Breeding Center. This is a new visitor site in the northeast part of San Cristobal Island and can now be reached in roughly one hour by road from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. In the Breeding Center, you will be able to admire the hatchling turtles from their birth until the are 120 days old when the grown turtles are taken to their natural habit. Puerto Chino. Located (15.2 miles / 24.5 km) away from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and a few miles from the Breeding Center Cerro Colorado, this walk takes approximately 30 to the beach.
Day 2 Santa Fe Island & South Plaza Island
Santa Fe (Barrington) is home to the small picturesque bay and anchorage on the island's northeast coast. The bay has two visitor trails, one leading to a scenic viewpoint atop a cliff, and the other spanning from a small beach to a tall prickly pear cactus forest. In the morning, you will head to South Plaza Island. This small island with steep cliffs was formed by rising lava and is now covered by Opuntia cacti. It is also home to one of the largest sea lion colonies as well as colorful yellow and red land iguanas. The most characteristic plant is Sesuvium. During the rainy season its color is a greenish to yellowish tone and in the dry season (end of June through January) a bright red.
Day 3 Santa Cruz Island: Tortoise Breeding Center & Santa Cruz Island: Twin Craters
The Charles Darwin Research Station is home to turtles ranging from 3-inches (new hatchlings) to 4-feet long. Subspecies of turtles interact with one another and many of the older turtles are accustomed to humans stretching out their heads for a photo opportunity. The babies are kept until they are about four years old and strong enough to survive on their own. Los Gemelos, or the Twin Craters, are located opposite each other on both sides of the road leading from Puerto Ayora to Baltra. The name is only figurative; not real craters, these formations were created by the collapse of surface material in underground fissures and chambers. The view is breathtaking.
Day 4 Isabela Island: Sierra Negra Volcano & Isabela Island: Wetlands, Wall of Tears, Tortoise Breeding Station
The Sierra Negra Volcano boasts the largest basaltic caldera in Galapagos at 9 x 10 km. The site offers impressive views and the opportunity to observe up to 7 species of finch and a rich display of vegetation. The north side of the caldera provides evidence of its most recent volcanic activity in 2005. The Wetlands of Isabela Island are located just outside of Puerto Villamil. The Wetlands consist of lagoons, swamps, and mangroves and are home to a variety of unique bird species such as common stilts, whimbrels, white-cheeked pintails, and gallinules. The Wetlands can be visited on foot via a path that winds through the swamps.
Day 5 Isabela Island: Moreno Point & Isabela Island: Tagus Cove
Moreno Point is located near Elizabeth Bay on the west coast of Isabela Island. The plethora of birds seen during a dinghy ride along the striking rocky shores or a hike along path through lava rock leading to tide pools and mangroves create a birdwatcher's delight. In the tide pools, green sea turtles or white-tip sharks can be spotted. Tagus Cove is located across from Fernandina Island near the Bolivar Channel dividing the two islands. This spot has been frequented by ships since the 1800s using the area as an anchorage site. Trails winding by Lake Darwin up to a ridge display wonderful views. Punta Tortuga, just north of Tagus Cove, is another lovely beach surrounded by mangroves.
Day 6 Fernandina Island: Espinosa Point & Isabela Island: Vicente Roca Point
No foreign species have ever invaded Fernandina Island, and therefore it is one of the world's most pristine island ecosystems. The volcano "La Cumbre" dominates the landspace with lava fields reaching the ocean. The island's highlight features the flightless cormorant nesting site. This area provides a great opportunity to see the Galapagos hawk. Located on the northwestern coast of the island and comprised of two separate coves, this site is a large bay with spectacular sea life. Seahorses, sea turtles, and the strange yet fascinating Mola mola (sunfish) may be spotted here. This bay is great for diving and snorkeling.
Day 7 Santiago Island: Espumilla Beach or Buccaneer Cove & Bartholomew Island
Espumilla Beach is a popular place for marine iguanas and Sally Lightfoot crabs. The crabs attract the hunting herons performing the dance of predator and prey. With an abundance of marine life including octopi, moray eels, and sharks, snorkeling is highly recommended. Home of the famous Pinnacle Rock, Bartholomew consists of an extinct volcano with a variety of red, orange, black and even green volcanic formations. A trail of stairs leads to the summit of the volcano, boasting one of the best views of the islands. The beach is perfect for snorkeling and possible sightings of the Galapagos penguin.
Day 8 North Seymour & Transfer to the Baltra Airport
Galapagos sea lions, blue-footed boobies and magnificent frigatebirds are abundant on North Seymour Island. The island was formed by a series of submarine lava containing layers of sediment that were uplifted by tectonic activity. The island is characterized by its arid vegetation zone.
Itineraries are unlikely to change significantly but are subject to change. Weather, wildlife breeding, safety concerns, instructions from the Galapagos National Park, specific abilities and interests of passengers as well as operational matters may cause your guide or captain to change the time or nature of visits. Your guide and captain will always endeavor to select the best itinerary within these limits.

ULGM Announces 50th Anniversary Campaign – $2,000,000, 1,500 jobs, 1,500 families!
Contact: Ruben L. Anthony, Jr., Ph.D.
ranthony@ulgm.org | 608-729-1268
Madison, WI (October 16, 2017) – At its annual Urban Cabaret fundraising event this past Friday – with the theme of "Amplify" – the Urban League of Greater Madison announced it will honor its 50th anniversary in 2018 with a commitment to place 1,500 low income job seekers into career pathway employment by 2020. To accomplish that goal, the organization aims to raise $2 million by this time next year. The campaign was kicked into gear with an announcement of a $410,000 pledge from five of the Urban League's longest standing corporate partners – Alliant Energy, American Family Insurance, CUNA Mutual Group, Exact Sciences, and Madison Gas & Electric.
Urban League CEO Ruben L. Anthony, Jr. explained that for every $2,000 raised the League can help train, place, and coach an unemployed or under-employed job seeker into new or better employment. "We're a place of second chances," Anthony explained. "We're helping people who maybe didn't get it right the first time overcome obstacles such as criminal records or a lack of a degree break into good jobs with great employers like Exact Sciences, CUNA Mutual Group, and others."
The funds raised will help with things like operating a second employment and training center in Southwest Madison through a new partnership with the City of Madison, launching new employer-driven training programs, placing more youth into summer work experiences and internships, and even expanding its award-winning affordable home ownership programs.
Anthony also noted that "we have exciting plans over the next 12 months to commemorate our illustrious 50-year history in Madison." The League plans to create a travelling ULGM history display, weekly ULGM historical facts, special events, and much more.
In addition to this announcement, the organization also presented a series of awards to local community servants who are making a difference in Dane County. Madison College trustee and retired board member Frances Huntley-Cooper and former CUNA Mutual Foundation Executive Director Steven A. Goldberg were recognized by Nia Trammell, Urban League Board of Directors Chair as the 2018 Whitney M. Young, Jr. Equal Opportunity Awardees. The awards are given in honor of the great civil right leader and former National Urban League President.
Urban League CEO Ruben Anthony also presented this year's President's Awards to Dr. Jack E. Daniels, III, Greg Jeschke, Sabrina Madison, Erica Nelson, Michelle Robinson, and Eric S. Upchurch II.
The 50th Anniversary Celebration will take place on October 12, 2018 at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Visit www.ulgm.org to learn more.

Cancerwise
Adenoid cystic carcinoma survivor: Be your own advocate
BY Cynthia DeMarco
It took Eileen Brzoska almost eight years to get an accurate adenoid cystic carcinoma diagnosis. "I was misdiagnosed twice due to the rarity of my cancer," she says.
In 2004, Eileen went to a doctor in Austin, Texas, with a small lesion on her lower left eyelid. It was diagnosed as a "chalazion" (a usually painless, benign bump) and removed surgically.
The bump returned, but Eileen didn't worry. "I was told that chalazions could recur and that they were harmless," she says.
A closer inspection
The lesion didn't interfere with her vision, so for years, Eileen just ignored it. But after the birth of her third child in 2011, the lesion developed its own blood supply, and the vessels were visible when she looked in the mirror.
Eileen returned to the doctor, who performed a biopsy in July. That resulted in a diagnosis of "basal cell carcinoma, with other features."
"Those 'other features' are what worried me," Eileen says. "So, at the urging of a friend and the recommendation of my optometrist, I came to MD Anderson."
Eileen's adenoid cystic carcinoma treatment
Here, Eileen met with Bita Esmaeli, M.D., who finally diagnosed her with adenoid cystic carcinoma, an eyelid cancer so rare that hers was only the ninth documented case in medical literature.
Eileen had surgery to remove the lesion, followed by 25 rounds of proton therapy under Steven Frank, M.D., and a more traditional type of radiation therapy called ortho-voltage under Bill Morrison, M.D.
"I was nervous," Eileen admits. "There was no danger of losing my eye, but there was a danger of losing my vision. There was also an increased risk for cataract development. But I knew the treatment was necessary, and I was willing to take that risk."
Adenoid cystic carcinoma treatment side effects
About one-third of Eileen's lower eyelid was removed during the surgery, and her left eye was stitched shut temporarily to promote healing. A month later she had a procedure to remove the stitches and to correct a condition called ectropion, in which the eyelid curves away from the eyeball.
"My eye watered continuously for the next month, and it seemed like it would never stop," Eileen says. "But eventually, it stabilized."
Eileen also experienced side effects from the proton therapy. "I smelled chlorine very strongly and saw what looked like aurora borealis swirling above my head," she says. "Both the lights and the smell are from the protons hitting nerves and sending sensory signals to the brain. Apparently, it happens to a lot of people."
The technicians helped counteract the smell by wiping flavored lip balm under Eileen's nose. And Eileen eventually drew comfort from the lights, considering it evidence that the treatment was working.
Today, Eileen is considered cancer-free. Her only lingering eyelid cancer side effect is a pinpoint of blue light that she sees occasionally when she blinks.
"I'm told this is damage to a nerve from radiation treatment," Eileen says. "But my prescription for glasses has changed only very slightly over the years and is about what someone would expect from natural aging. I'm overjoyed."
"My prayer from the moment I was diagnosed was to be guided to the best treatment and people to cure whatever I had," Eileen adds. "At MD Anderson, I landed exactly where I needed to be. I have no doubt that I received the best, most comprehensive care available."
A calling to help other cancer patients
Now, Eileen is ready to help other cancer patients. She recently signed up to volunteer through myCancerConnection, MD Anderson's one-on-one support program for patients and caregivers. She is eager to give hope to patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma and other rare cancers.
"In many ways, rare diseases are special," she says. "Not having a solution to a problem can be a real motivator for your health care team. And while it might seem hopeless at first, a rare cancer diagnosis can actually spur ingenuity from everyone involved."
Most of all, Eileen plans to remind patients that they are their own best allies.
"Be an advocate for yourself," she says. "Make sure everything removed from you surgically is biopsied. And follow up with your health care team. It provides a distinct sense of control at a time when your life may seem overwhelming."

Ski helmets are becoming more and more popular with recreational skiers and snowboarders – and for good reason! Even if you plan to ride at slow speeds, this does not mean other do. Icy patches or unseen bumps cause even the best skiers lose control sometimes. A collision can happen at any time, so it's best to be prepared.
a ski helmet compulsory due to the high number of head injuries caused by snowsports every year. They remain optional, but with helmets starting at only 35€ on Snowleader, it's a small price to pay to significantly decrease your chances of a head injury. But we understand that everyone has a diffrent tast in ski helmets and that is why we have brought together all the best brandsm such as - Atomic, K2, Picture Organic Clothing, Poc, Rossignol, Salomon, Smith to name a few.
Measure your head (just above your eyebrows and ears) then choose your favourite helmet in your size.
When trying the helmet on, it should fit snugly and not move at all if you shake your head. Conversely it should not be so tight that it's uncomfortable. A badly fitting helmet is bearable for an hour or so but minor niggles can leave you in agony if they persist all day.
Many helmets have BOA systems in place to adjust the helmet for a snug, comfortable, safe fit.

Magazine Cover: The FADER Issue #75: Fall Fashion Featuring Frank Ocean
By Donovan | August 9, 2011 0 Comments
This is very a great year for Frank Ocean. He produced songs for Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West and now he is on the cover of Issue # 75 Fader magazine. Over the past year or so, Frank Ocean became more ubiquitous than he probably ever imagined. From his heartfelt mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra to his two—TWO!—appearances on Jay-Z and Kanye's Watch The Throne, the man is (deservedly) everywhere.
When he was nine, Frank Ocean's godfather subscribed him to Robb Report, a magazine for the ultra-rich. Less interested in fiduciary smarts, it's a catalog of conspicuous consumption, highlighting tropical vacations, invaluable antiques and, as Ocean came to know, really expensive cars. Though he comes from a middle class family, he obsessively read the magazine's classified ads, fixating on exorbitantly priced used Bentleys and Maybachs. "I would just fall in love with all their cars. That was the start." Ocean, whowas born Christopher Breaux (and goes by Lonny to friends), downscaled his material desires, and when he was 13, began going door-to-door, detailing cars for cash. "I would bring all my supplies. Literally, it was like a movie, I had a wagon, those long red wagons, like a Radio Flyer-type wagon, and I used to buy my own soaps."

Romanian mountaineer Eduard Burceag dies in US trip, protecting wife and friend
de Radu Rizea HotNews.ro
Joi, 12 iunie 2008, 14:19 English | Top News
Romanian mountain climber Eduard Briceag died on the Rainier mountain, near Seattle (Washington state), because of an out-of-the-blue blizzard, The News Tribune informs. 31-year old Eduard Burceag tried to save his wife, Mariana, and his friend, Daniel Vlad. All three were experienced climbers, but did not carry the necessary equipment for such severe weather conditions.
The News Tribune article:
The hikers dug a trench to escape the snow and 55 mph winds, and Burceag lay in the bottom with his wife, Mariana, 31, and friend, Daniel Vlad, 34, on top of him, incident commander David Gottlieb said.
In this position, he would have taken the brunt of the punishment, Gottlieb said. When his friend and wife tried to rotate positions with him, he refused, Gottlieb said.
The three, who were natives of Romania, were experienced climbers. Eduard Burceag and Vlad both worked as engineers.
A helicopter from the Fort Lewis-based 159th Aviation Regiment of the Army Reserve lifted the survivors off the mountain from Camp Muir at 6:15 a.m. Wednesday. Climbing rangers carried Burceag's body off the mountain in the afternoon.
Mariana Burceag and Vlad were flown to Madigan Army Medical Center then transported by ambulance to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center. They were treated and released by 1 p.m. said hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson. They will have a follow-up examination in the coming weeks.
Eduard Burceag's body was off the mountain by 5:30 p.m. and taken to the Pierce County Medical Examiner, Gottlieb said.
The hikers were attempting to descend from Camp Muir at 10,188 feet to their car at Paradise, 5,400 feet above sea level, Monday when they were surprised by the storm. Gottlieb said the hikers were well prepared for their hike, but did not have gear for spending the night in such severe conditions. They did not have a tent or sleeping bags.
According to the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center, by 9 p.m. Monday the temperature was 6 degrees with wind gusts as high as 55 mph. With wind chill factor the temperature could have been as cold as minus-20 degrees.
The hikers reportedly lost the trail in whiteout conditions and after failing to locate it dug a trench near Anvil Rock, just 604 vertical feet below Camp Muir. Two feet of new snow was reported at Paradise Monday night.
Gottlieb said the men sandwiched Mariana between them with Eduard taking the position against the snow.
"He basically held up his wife and friend," Gottlieb said.
Mariana and Vlad suffered severe hypothermia and frostbite. The hikers tried repeatedly to call for help and finally reached 911 at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. However, conditions were too severe to launch a rescue team.
Vlad hiked through the storm back to Camp Muir at 7:15 a.m. and led a team of guides and rangers to the trench. The team took the hikers back to the Ranger hut at Camp Muir where they determined Eduard Burceag had died.
The severe weather kept helicopter crews from retrieving the survivors at Camp Muir Tuesday.
However, with a cloud ceiling just above Camp Muir on Wednesday morning the Fort Lewis unit was able to lift Mariana and Vlad into the helicopter with the help of climbing rangers Kevin Hammonds and Joseph Franklin.
The unit's Alpha Company has been involved in most of the rescues on Mount Rainier's upper slopes and has even outfitted its Chinook helicopter with plywood floors so rangers can walk in their crampons.
While the unit helps with rescues, it does not participate in recovery efforts.
A private helicopter was scheduled to lift Burceag's body off the mountain, but when the weather didn't clear, Gottlieb instructed his team to carry the body off the mountain.
The survivors issued a statement via park spokesman Kevin Bacher requesting the media not contact them.

Constant Contact See New Signups
Constant Contact have actually been in the e-mail advertising and marketing game considering that 1995. Throughout that time, they've managed to become one of the most secondhand email devices worldwide, after Mailchimp.
One thing I discovered is that Constant Contact is very often the leading selection for numerous other evaluation internet sites. Naturally, I am curious to see if our comprehensive analysis produces the exact same end result.
You may have had a look at the Constant Contact reviews supplied by customers online, as well, and also whilst they are pretty favorable, they might not offer you the whole picture. Our review of Constant Contact is based on a methodical method and uses our sensible experience and expertise of loads of various other straightforward as well as advanced marketing automation tools.
What makes them special is that they've included numerous functions for many years that few of their rivals sport, such as electronic item downloads, event administration, appointment organizing and also social projects. These all include in the varied listing of email choices offered, along with automations and also persisting e-newsletters.
Constant Contact boast a market with around 400 applications and also assimilations that deal with also one of the most niche of products. In spite of these showy numbers as well as features, passion in Constant Contact appears to be on the decline, at least according to Google Trends. If it's still relevant in the 21st century, Enough factor for us to take a better look at Constant Contact's outs & ins and inspect.
Figure out below!
Constant Contact is routed towards small businesses, however their prices aren't the most affordable, especially when you consider that their features simply aren't that progressed. Plans start from $9.99/ month, but this only enables 500 subscribers, as well as rates increase rather dramatically after that.
Attempt Constant Contact absolutely free
> Compare prices with our expense calculator
> Find out more about Constant Contact's plans in our full rates overview
Is Constant Contact the appropriate e-newsletter service for you?
Constant Contact is rather distinct in this regard, being just one of minority e-mail marketing tools to allow you to take care of event enrollments, tickets, as well as invites . Keep in mind that this feature includes its own fees: 5.4% + $0.80 for each ticket marketed or deal performed.
You need advanced automation:
Surprisingly, for the premium it bills, Constant Contact doesn't offer one of the most advanced automations. While they do offer set off campaigns, autoresponders as well as abandoned cart campaigns (for Shopify only), you'll find that other much cheaper devices offer comparable degrees of automation– MailerLite as well as Sendinblue, for instance.
Normally it's easy to browse, though a bit dull-looking. You can get to a lot of locations within a couple of clicks, though as they've added much more functionality, some things have come to be a little hidden, for instance, automations.
The editor is fast, but light on functions, specifically in the styling division. Aside from that it's very easy to collaborate with.
This is very standard, just allowing you to insert simple introductions or get in touch with information. There is no if/then/else logic readily available.
Traditional, autoresponders, fundamental automations, persisting newsletters, A/B testing, occasion enrollments, promo codes, polls as well as surveys .
Not bad. There are around 200 (!) design templates to choose from, with differing degrees of high quality (some are good, while others look a little fundamental and dated). You can likewise start from scratch, and use a convenient function called 'Brand your email' to auto-generate a design template based upon your internet site's shades and logo design.
It additionally generates pre-defined get in touch with sections based on your customers' interactions with your online store (e.g. repeat, lapsed as well as possible consumers). Automations based on get in touch with triggers (e.g. e-mail opens, clicks) are additionally available.
You can produce segments from contact activity, checklist subscription, get in touch with details, tags, or ecommerce activity. You can also create a sector from your contact insights and also tag calls based upon contact area criteria.
There is beside no modification with the kind, and also it just provides a description box, standard area choices (which you can't contribute to) and afterwards a checklist, or listings, that people can check to be added to.
As you can see in our deliverability examinations, Constant Contact does not execute also terribly, getting to one of the most popular e-mail suppliers (AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, and also Outlook) most of the moment.
Reports and also Analysis
In addition to basic open and also click reports, spam, bounce and also unsubscribe prices are also offered. You likewise obtain click warmth maps, as well as some helpful summary reports such as open and also click fads, opens by gadget, % of contacts engaged, and most effective subject line.

Kos, Greece: Hippocrates' Hospital at Asklepeion
I am in Kos' central plateia enjoying the shade of an ancient, gnarled tree, its wide spreading branches propped up by pieces of aged marble. It is said to be 500 years old, a distant offshoot of the original tree where Hippocrates used to sit. Underneath is a purification fountain made from an antique sarcophagus, used by the Byzantine Turks to wash themselves before entering the mosque which was built in the same square opposite.
Our New Book
Kos, the second largest island in the Dodecanses, 5 km from Bodrum on the Turkish coast, was the birthplace of the physician, who like the tree, lived to a venerable age. It is known for its hot springs, orange groves, vineyards and resplendent gardens, and has given a name to a variety of lettuce introduced from its shores.
The town of Kos is a pretty little port, with tidy streets and many new and old Venetian style buildings of elegant design. The castle of the Knights of St John built by the Venetians in 1450 dominates the harbour with its high stone walls. Yachts charter boats crowd the harbour, many offering excursions to nearby islands or Turkey.
I set off to do more sight-seeing on a little motorized train that chugs around past various archaeological sites of Greek, Roman and Byzantine eras, then heads the 4 kms out of town to the Asklepeion, the sanctuary and school of medicine that made Kos famous all over the ancient world.
The road leads up a pine covered mountain slope along an avenue of cypresses. The Asklepeion is one of the most important holy places of ancient times. Located in a magnificent setting on a hillside with a view of the distant sea amid a grove of cypress trees, the site covers a large area and is built on three tiers that enclose temples, baths, a medical school, museum, and housing for priests and patients.
The Asklepeion was built after Hippocrates' death but students came here to learn his methods of healing. Hippocrates' fame resulted from a collection of 80 medical works known as The Hippocratic Corpus which challenged the methods of physicians who used magic and oracles to treat diseases. Hippocrates who was born in 460 BC, and died in 357 BC) believed that disease had natural causes and could be studied and possibly cured according to the workings of nature. At Kos, patients underwent positive treatment as taught to physicians by Hippocrates. The Hippocratic Oath is the most important of all his writings and established him as the leading medical inspiration of all ages.
It was the most famous hospital of its time, consisting of a religious sanctuary, a healing centre, school of medicine and many mineral springs where people came to bathe. On the top tier was a large Doric temple to Asklepios, the God of healing, occupied by a hereditary order of priests who guarded the secrets of medicine. In the early Christian period a church was built over the site so all that remains of the temple is a capital which was used as an altar. Much of the temple structure was quarried by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem to be used in the construction of the medieval castle and walls seen in the town.
I spent a pleasant afternoon climbing the stairways to explore the porticoes and ruined buildings. There is a magnificent view of the red-tiled rooftops of the town below and the teal-coloured sea stretched eastward toward the shores of Turkey. The air is fragrant with scent of herbs, cooled by the sea-breeze. The serenity of the setting leaves me refreshed and calm. It was easy to see how this popular sanctuary was the perfect place for recuperating patients and made it the most famous hospital in antiquity.
AIR: Daily flights from Athens.
FERRY: Kos is connected with all the islands of the Dodecanese and the ports of Thessaloniki and Pireaus.
Ferry/International: Daily sailings in summer to Bodrum, Turkey
Accommodations: There are pensions and hotels near the port. Camping Kos is 3 kms east of the town.
The Asklepeion: The little tram goes from the main square by the port. Frequent buses run to the site but it's pleasant to cycle or walk there.

Since Western countries can't or won't reap such a comprehensive harvest of data from their citizens, China will win the AI arms race and dominate the next century. This idea makes for a compelling narrative, especially for those trying to justify surveillance — whether government- or corporate-run.

When it comes to reporting incidents, there is no margin for error. Following the correct incident reporting procedures can be critical to your company's safety and success. However, it is not always a simple process, with many people believing two of the most prominent myths about incident reporting.
This myth is one of the biggest beliefs commonly held by workers in all kinds of occupations. People often believe that getting a small bruise or cut is not worth taking the time to report. However, things like infection can be caused from only a minor injury, or sometimes the effects of the injury don't fully impact the person until later (e.g. in manual handling cases where there is a back strain).
Further, sometimes what starts out as only a small incident can turn into something much bigger and more dangerous. For example, a small leak that drips onto an electrical cable can quickly turn into a workplace fatality if not properly identified and fixed in a timely manner.
The recruitment process is expensive and time consuming. Yet however long it seems to take, don't make an offer until a background check is undertaken. Hiring honest, dependable people is important for your business and making sure the person you hire doesn't have a criminal history that could pose a safety threat to your employees, contractors, suppliers and customers is crucial.
This myth is certainly false. Hazards and near misses are important to report and assess when striving for a 'Zero Harm' safety culture as they can lead to major or even catastrophic incidents if left unreported.
Imagine this scenario: John, a worker on a construction site, is walking along quickly as he is late to his work area. He walks around a corner, then looks down and has to quickly change his direction as there is a large, uncovered hole in the path. Some workers nearby appear to have forgotten to erect signs, place cones and/or bunting to cordon the area off. But John doesn't fall into it and is rushing so he doesn't bother to alert the workers, report the hazard/near miss to a manager or take any other preventative actions to mitigate the injury of others.
This type of negligence could cause serious consequences for others on site. If someone else came around the corner after John without looking down, they could get seriously injured. This could impact the company in multiple ways, including lost time Workcover claims and even potential law suits. Not only that, but if an auditor or safety inspector came to site and discovered the hazard, it would not reflect well on the company.
The most effective way of implementing a 'Zero Harm' safety culture is to encourage incident reporting as a preventative measure through a suitable induction process. As your workers are exposed to your company's expectations, they in turn will encourage people to comply with your standards. Using Rapid Induct, you can create your own branded induction which details your incident reporting strategy. The trick is to make sure this is an effective strategy – which brings us to Step 2!
When it comes to reporting even small incidents, one of the major hesitancies people have is the time and effort it takes to fill out paperwork. It's all about the cost-benefit perspective: if people don't think the problem or injury outweighs the inconvenience of having to fill out the paperwork, then they won't do it.
This is why having a simple, yet effective incident reporting system is so important. Using Rapid Incident Reporting, personnel who encounter a problem at your company can report the preliminary details of a new incident right away. Pictures can be taken and uploaded to the task as well, giving you extra evidence if required. You can then assign the incident to the correct person/s so that appropriate follow-up can occur. Those who are administrators of Rapid Incident Reporting at can also use the Rapid Global Admin Tools App to report any workplace incidents right on the spot via their phones.
Another useful tool to avoid a scenario similar to John and the construction site is Rapid Hazard Management. Designed to integrate with the Rapid Incident Reporting, this hazard reporting software and management system allows anyone from within the business to report a hazard of any type, from the investigation stage right through to control measures and ongoing assessment.
With measures like these in place, you can be rest assured that your workers are going to treat incidents, near misses and hazards with the action they deserve, thus protecting you, your workers and your company.

Ministry of Municipality launches Zero Waste Competition for school students
The Ministry of Municipality announced the launch of a "zero waste" competition, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, to encourage students to participate in the "zero waste" campaign and create new ways to dispose of waste, recycle and protect natural resources.
The competition, which will run from January 22 to March 2, aims at the participation of public and private school students in the three academic stages: primary, preparatory, and secondary, to show their creativity in expressing its subject, through flexibility, originality, innovation, and creating an aware generation of the importance of waste by developing a methodology of thinking about its management.
It also aims to educate and attract young people to volunteer work, spread the message and goals of the "zero waste" campaign so that it reaches the largest segment of society, and highlight the importance of waste disposal through recycling and use, which leads to reducing the need for the use of raw materials, with Preserving the sustainability of natural resources, which contributes to improving the quality of life.
Sub-competition categories:
traditional art (watercolor - acrylic - pencil - various materials)
digital art (awareness poster - video - digital design - digital photography)
handicrafts (waste recycling)
The ministry indicated that there are 27 awards, including nine awards for each educational stage in the three sub-competitions, and determined the financial value for each stage and its distribution, as well as the participation mechanism, controls and required technical standards. It warned that the artwork must be based on the students' creativity and innovation, adding that a specialized internal school committee will sort the artworks, select the best of them, and submit them for nomination and competition to win prizes.
The Ministry designated that the details of the competition, conditions, prizes, and information about the zero waste campaign can be viewed through the competition website.
The Ministry of Municipality recently launched the "zero waste" campaign under the slogan "less waste...more beautiful city" to reach an advanced level of community awareness of the importance of waste as part of resource sustainability and achieve several goals aimed at improving waste management, thus helping to mitigate its effects on the health and safety of society, as well as improve the quality of life to achieve the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.

Friday 8PM
Sometimes it's hard to trust anybody. It's hard to trust your immediate family. It's hard to trust your work. It's hard to trust government. The reason it's hard to trust is because we know we're not trustworthy. If we can't even trust ourselves, how can we trust anybody else?
In times like these, you need someone you can trust. Someone who has your best interests in mind. Someone who has never let you down. And, someone who won't ever leave you or forsake you. That is God. Even if God is the only one left in your life that you can trust, you're going to be okay.
Join Kieran and Giovanni as they guide us though some of the psalms of Trust.

An accurate prognosis, whether good or bad, can help patients develop good coping skills. But there are many diseases that are quite tricky to prognose. In fact, the prognosis is always much more difficult than diagnosis in any case. Also, the monitoring and prognosis of cardiovascular conditions usually require the use of expensive, sophisticated equipment and intrusive procedures.
However, advancements in disease diagnostics with AI are giving rise to simple, high-precision AI-based monitoring and prognostic equipment for mainstream use. Such equipment, which are poised to make better predictions than doctors, are designed to extrapolate patterns from vast collections of patient data and to use those patterns to identify early signs of heart diseases in patients.
There have been a handful of AI-based inventions that detect heart conditions early enough. One of the most promising among these is a product of studies carried out by Dr. Declan O'Regan and his colleagues at the Imperial College London. The project revolves around using machine learning, a subset of AI, to prognose diseases with even greater accuracy than doctors.
In this system, the computer is trained to make predictions by sorting through the data of hundreds or even thousands of patients using preset algorithms. The computer is able to make better predictions than doctors because it identifies exquisite details of the accumulated data which the human senses cannot perceive.
Another similar development that uses AI to detect diseases, of which details have been published in the Journal of the American Medical Information Association (JAMIA), makes predictions by tracking the temporality in a data set. It uses deep learning, which is the capacity to identify key features in a data set, to diagnose heart disease with AI.
The model uses a recurrent neural network (RNN) to track temporal relations among elements of data sets of patients. With deep learning, the model is able to identify the sequences of events that lead up to the various stages of a heart condition.
Another similar model has been developed by researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. In this model, machine learning is combined with pulse data to detect key risk factors for cardiovascular diseases using just a smartphone. The risk factor which it's keen to identify is arterial stiffness — the weakening of elasticity and the increase in rigidity in arteries, known to be a precursor to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, renal failure, and many other diseases.
The pulse energy flowing from a stiff aorta to small vessels can damage organs. Arterial stiffness can be identified through the measurement of pulse wave velocity. The current technologies for measuring pulse wave velocity include MRI, tonometry, and electrocardiogram, which all come with various drawbacks including high cost and very complex operations.
With this new technology for identifying arterial stiffness, anyone can detect arterial stiffness through a smartphone app that uses a smartphone camera to record pulse waves underneath the skin.
A research team from Nanyang Technological University and Tan Tock Seng Hospital, both in Singapore, takes AI-based heart failure detection to cloud facilities through connected devices. This model integrates a stethoscope-like acoustic sensor and cloud-based AI software in smartphones to track the presence of excess fluids in the lungs — a sign of an impending heart failure. This model, which detects the warning signs of heart failure within 10s after being placed on a patient's chest or back, has proved to prognose heart failure with over 92% accuracy.
Dr. O'Regan and his colleagues are looking to further expand the capabilities of their model of AI for diagnosing heart diseases like dilated cardiomyopathy — a gateway to heart failure, pulmonary hypertension –a rare condition in which the right side of the heart is damaged, and even other ailments like a stroke.
The tests for the prognostic accuracy of these models, which were implemented by processing data through the AI algorithm to make predictions about the various stages of heart disease cases that had already unfolded, showed the models can have prognosis with over 92% accuracy. The team is now set to roll out the use of the models for the prognosis of live clinical patients. The prognosis will help direct the monitoring efforts of those undertaking the patient's care.
AI and machine learning are increasingly being used to provide solutions in various aspects of health care. And each successful development serves as a springboard for another. The advancements in the application of AI technology in the area of medical prognosis has been supercharged by the exploration of deep learning principles.

Croatian-born pianist Dejan Lazić rejoins Richard Tognetti and the Orchestra for a celebration of Mozart's symphonies and concertos, capped by one of Mozart's formative influences, Joseph Haydn.
Mozart's Violin Concerto No.3 is one of Richard Tognetti's calling cards, with his signature energy and crispness adored by audiences both here and overseas. Mozart's Piano Concerto No.14 is full of invention and considered the first of his mature concertos. In this program we hear it alongside Dejan's original arrangement of the Allegretto grazioso from Mozart's Piano Sonata K.333.
The program is bookended by two great symphonies: Mozart's Symphony No.25 and the work that directly influenced it, Haydn's Symphony No.39 'Tempesta di mare'. Mozart is known for his rigorous Classicism, but this symphony, instantly recognisable as the dramatic opening of Miloš Forman's 1984 film Amadeus, is almost "romantic" in its power.
Like Mozart's symphony, Haydn's was written when the "Sturm und Drang" movement was strong, and its passion and drama still captivates audiences today.
