Calling Card
The Munich Show is Europe's largest fair for minerals, and jewellery. The show exhibits over 3 days various high-quality minerals and fossils and meteorites. Besides gems and fashion ornaments, attendees can also buy raw materials and technology. This includes for instance fossils, new engraving or polishing tools, and others. The fair provides attendees ample B2C and B2B opportunities through its diverse program. For example, retailers can form connections by visiting certain areas. The event is among the leading ones for Munich and takes place at Messe Munich.
Business Profile of the Event
The Munich Show is the leading event for many sectors related to jewellery and mining. For instance, gemstone suppliers and manufacturers look forward to the fair. This is because the event can help them find clients. The trade show is also the location for designers to showcase their collections. The Show furthermore helps mining company owners to expand their business. Many international institutes and museums visit to find valuable specimens. Companies such as the Kunugi S.L.U. Rafael Arquillo is often among the attendees of the fair. Likewise, enterprises such as A.R. Cristais Boamound attend.
The Munich Mineral show has several goals. These include networking between suppliers, manufacturers, designers, the public, and others. Also, the trade fair aims to expand the knowledge of attendees. For the task, organisers provide areas showcasing the latest trends or information. The event often includes workshops for developing various skills. The event furthermore acts as a purchasing and retail platform. The event can also serve as a promotional location for aspiring jewellers and artists. The event also can help in inspiring the public through different exhibitions.
Four categories create the base for Munich Show's program. Each category showcases a certain aspect of the 2 main sectors. For instance, Fossil World shows high-quality fossil specimens. Various special areas also showcase high-quality specimens. These include the Mineral Pavilion, which will exhibit minerals with exclusive collector's value. Another such area is the Alpine Minerals. At this site, attendees can examine summer finds of the "Strahler" from the Alps. Gemworld Professional will be a specialised trade area for jewellery and gemstone resellers. There will furthermore be a wide range of hosted by leading figures.
The trade fair can be quite helpful for specialists from the mining and jewellery sector. These include those who work in the metal production, trading and investing branches. Mineralogists and gemmologists as well as museum curators should also opt to attend. Specialists in the Arts & crafts sector and the fashion industry can benefit as well. The watch industry and interior design should not overlook attending the trade fair.
Aspiring companies or designers have quite a few areas and aspects of the fair to look forward to. For example, junior jewellers can take part in the Young Designers Corner. This is an international competition which can help them in gaining recognition. They can also showcase their creations at the Young Jewellery - a trending area. Registered retainers and starting businesses can find expansion opportunities at Gemworld Connect. This is a specialist area open only to them for the duration of the fair.

The service of Go Fair (your service) was excellent, I would really like to work with you again in 2017 (next Offshore). The people who will go to this fair would like to stay at Skene House Whitehall again, if you could manage this in the future, this would be great.

Dear Tom, Dear Tess,
Thank you for your service, all went well. The only remark is that the hotel does not dispose of many parking slots, so we might reconsider it for next year.

I recently used Travel to Fairs to help me search for a hotel for a group of colleagues attending Bauma 2022 and my whole experience was very positive. Michelle Adams, my agent gave some very good suggestions and options for hotels near to the venue and in the centre of Munich. Michelle's communication with me was excellent and always very helpful. I would highly recommend t2f to anyone booking for an event.

Bay View House
The Bay View House hotel. (Image: Duluth Public Library)
401 West Superior Street | Architect: Unknown | Built: 1869 | Lost: 1888
The first building in Duluth constructed specifically as a hotel, the Bay View House offered sanctuary to those lucky enough to get a room during the winter of 1869–'70, when the town was booming and there was no other public house for the waves of people arriving daily. It was full almost year-round, but business declined when the Clark House Hotel opened in the summer of 1870. Bay View House was forced to drop its rates from $4.50 a day to $2.50 a day to compete with the more opulent hotel three blocks east. Located on the western edge of downtown Duluth in the middle of mud streets and plank sidewalks, the Bay View was a three-story wood frame structure; its original entrance faced Fourth Avenue West. The building was later enlarged, and the entrance relocated along Superior Street. The Bay View was demolished in 1888 to make room for the original Palladio Building, lost in 1937.

Tractor Restoration Tips
February 24, 2016 | 00:02:24
Timeless Tractors
Tip #1: Finding a Long Lost Tractor, Kristin Gall
I would start to answer by asking what type of tractor, and to how it became long lost. Was it traded off, was it sold to an individual, or was it sold at auction, as there are a few ways to approach this issue.
First, if it was traded off to a dealer, start asking the older salesmen that was around the dealership at the time it was traded. Sometimes records still exist on who it was sold to, second talk with service managers at the dealership. Lots of times a clue to where it went begins with this group of individuals if it was traded off.
Second, if it was sold to an individual, you are limited on the amount of people who was in contact with the tractor to ask these questions. Talk with anyone involved in the transaction, people who may have been hired to haul the tractor, relatives etc.
Third, if the tractor was sold at auction, once in a blue moon, auctioneers may remember who bought that tractor, or may even have those records. Ask neighbors or anyone who may have been at that auction.
In all cases, try to point out any odd items that may have been modified over the years since it was new, something different that stood out, such as things about the paint, tire sizes, cab company brand. Anything to jog someone's memory.
If you are trying to locate the serial number of the tractor to verify a tractor or aid in your search, things like sales receipts that many people saved from the year they bought it, tucked in with their receipts in a shoebox for taxes that year will have the number written on that. Old insurance forms where the tractor was insured, Bank loan papers if a loan was taken out on the tractor. Repair records, sometimes dealers kept track of the serial numbers in their service dept. records.
Today, there are many forms of internet help available to finding long lost tractors. Search out and join the many online forums dedicated to the brand of tractor you are looking for. There are people from all areas of the world, mostly here in the USA and scattered from one end of the US to the other, who participate in these forums. Tell the story of the tractor and see if you can find anyone who was at that sale, or knew of that tractor with the extra fuel tank that was handmade bolted to the frame, the ugly cab etc. – point out anything that would make that tractor stand out in the readers mind. If the tractor was used in tractor pulls, there are also many dedicated tractor pulling fans reading tractor forums or forums dedicated to pulling tractors only. Many times old pulling tractors had dedicated fans who somehow have kept track of where those tractors are over the years.
Facebook is another social media site where there are many tractor and farming groups. These same farmers who visit tractor forums are also very active on Facebook, and many times others who aren't active in those brand specific forums who may have been at that sale or know who owns that tractor.
Over the last several years, some people have started serial number registries for certain models of tractors. These can be mostly found by visiting brand specific tractor forums, where you'll find the individuals who record the whereabouts of a certain model tractor, listed by serial number, last or current owner, where it was seen, such as tractor show, internet site it was listed for sale, etc...It has become a fun hobby that also has helped many find their long lost tractor.
Last but not least, don't give up! Finding that tractor that means a lot to you for one reason or another, being it was your father's tractor, grandfather's tractor, etc.. Has an amazing reward after working hard to find it. The satisfaction and accomplishment as well as being reunited is worth the effort. Ask anyone and everyone, you just never know who has a great memory or remembers that old tractor.
Tip #2: Replicating Tractor Parts, Leo Milleman
Before attempting what may be a daunting task and faced w replicating parts, I can't stress enough one must start by thorough research and study the project FIRST. Collect all available information one can and study it, a project that internet searches may help in today's age. Once the data is in front of you, study it well and don't go it alone! Network with friends or experts who share your interest and may provide a fresh look at approaching a current or future problem. Let experts help or fabricate where you may not have the skills, but they must be supplied by the plan and what needs be done. For example, in building ARMY A-II, we had only photos and army testing information from which to work. What was used for that wide front axe? ...Was it from an AR? A standard wide front? Or something we had not considered? But upon looking at the photos carefully and with a magnifying lens, I noted there was a serial number on that axel! Blowing it up via computer it contained an "X." In JD lingo, that means experimental. We were not going to find one. I thus purchased the expertise of an excellent antique tractor mechanic who knew an excellent machinist. We calculated measurements from the photos and the experts were able to fabricate the axel in a machine shop.
In summary a project like this takes pre-project research to exhaustion, networking with experts, thinking together, and letting the experts do the tough stuff! Finding the experts may be the toughest part of the job accompanied by patience by all! Most of us are not an expert at everything!
Tip #3: Restoring a Foreign Tractor, Dean McCloskey
A guy told me once, "the only things holding you back are feet and fear." That being said, when it comes to foreign tractors, information, parts availability, and technical resources are not as prevalent as that of some of the more common brands indigenous to the United States.
I like to research and learn all I can about a piece before I begin. Twenty years ago we didn't have the capability, but nowadays, the internet can be a helpful tool in reducing the amount of time spent accessing information and obtaining parts. At times, it may still require good old fashioned phone calls, and of course, plenty of patience.
During the disassembly process, don't be afraid to take notes, sketch simple illustrations, and take plenty of photos. Generally speaking, it will take longer to acquire parts and restore an obscure foreign tractor, so this documentation will help facilitate the process. Besides, doing these simple little things will add to your restoration "story," and people will enjoy learning about the details.
Tip #4: Showing Your Tractor, Jacob Miller
There are many things that one can do before showing a tractor for their first time. It can be a very nerve-racking event for some people so what we recommend is just to stay calm and confident. Don't get nervous because then your words will just stumble and you won't remember everything that you did to your project. Another good tip would be study the night before. Of course, you should know what you did to your tractor, but studying it helps to be more acquainted with each step in the process and helps one think quicker when asked about it. While studying, look through pictures showing the process of the restoration, shop manuals, and owner manuals. The judge could ask very specific questions to test your knowledge such as paint codes, what metal the gears are made from, paint mixtures, or even tappet settings so study things that could sneak up on you that you wouldn't expect. Preparing to show should be like studying for a big test, because like on a test where you want a good grade, at a show you want a great prize.
Since studying happened the day before showing, the next big step would be talking to the judge. When they come up, put on a big smile and act confident about your work. Restoration is a difficult task so be very proud of what you have done! Start by shaking their hand and keeping good eye contact. The biggest tip would be to talk to them like you would talk to anyone else about your tractor. Just act casual and calm and it will be over before you know it. Also, do not lie about the work you have done. Honesty has always been the best policy, so lying will not get you anywhere. Showing tractors is a simple thing that in the end will make you a better speaker, and make showing the next tractor even easier. If you are calm and confident, you will be begging to go show another work of art like the tractor that you've restored.
Tip #5: Starting an Antique Tractor Social Media Page, James Fred
When setting up a group page you want to keep it interesting and attention getting. I suggest start by having lots of pictures of the tractors that you're trying to promote, by setting up photo albums for everyone to see.& Make sure that you have beneficial information on the page such as history of the company, etc., because for many younger people, they may be getting into antique tractors for the first time and don't know much about that particular make or model. More times than not people will find the social media page while searching Google for more information and it leads them to your page.
Another thing that I believe is really important is to keep continual activity on the page so that it doesn't go inactive for months on end. When that happens people fail to check back in and most will pass it by. Keep the site updated with upcoming shows, auctions, tractors or parts for sale, etc. is a great way to keep peaking people's interest. Once you have a regular following you will tend to get new people coming to your page regularly because of the word getting around. Also take every opportunity to promote your page by giving out your link in antique magazines and antique forums online.

So, let's talk about the Modern Pentathlon. The last sport to finish in the 2012 Olympic Games was very much the most remarkable of the lot and a fitting end to a thoroughly memorable fortnight.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin was a funny old goose. He founded the modern Olympic Games and for this we thank him. His general attitudes on gender politics notwithstanding, of course. He also created the Modern Pentathlon event, inspired by the Napoleonic wars and the demands that they placed on the modern soldier. Fencing! Swimming! Running! Shooting!
But my favourite of the lot is The Riding of an Unfamiliar Horse. This has percolated down the years to be a simple show jumping element, but the unfamiliarity of each competitor's mount is retained thanks to a random draw of horse. It is a dazzling piece of sporting theatre, that. No other event in the Olympics leaves things quite so much to chance, the luck of the draw. Some of the horses in that pot are a sight to behold. The reigning world champion in the event, Britain's Mhairi Spence's chances of a medal evaporated as out of the hat for her round came the most uncontrollable, lunatic, nag. The size of a small elephant, before the run began the swivel-eyed thing had its tongue lolling out of the corner of its mouth. It promptly gambolled around Greenwich Park with an abandon which was as intoxicating as it was terrifying. There have been worse strokes of luck endured by fancied competitors during the London Games, yes, but she would have been better off riding an angry camel.
The true magic of the Modern Pentathlon comes in the final event, the combined cross-country run and pistol shooting. The staggering of the competitors' start times so that it is straightforwardly the first athlete to cross the line who wins is something of a masterstroke and one I would like to see adopted into other multi-event sports. Hell, let's also have the riding of an unfamiliar horse shoehorned into as many sporting events as we can, too.
It was a suitably daft, picturesque and exciting end to a superb Olympic Games. All the pre-Olympic cynicism was as predictably British as the giddy excitement and a festival atmosphere that quickly followed it. For me it was never in any doubt because London is such a magnificent city and British people are such creative, adaptable and magnificent people. That it was so good and filled with such memorable sporting moments was just the cherry on the cake. Fitting too, in the Olympics where the British team have done better than ever before, the event saw British competitors win another medal, a silver for Samantha Murray to take the overall tally to a scarcely believable 65.
So that was it. I can tell I have enjoyed it because I'm feeling a bit maudlin now at the passage of it, at the passage of time. It was my ninth summer Olympic Games and you only get so many. So, the Olympic hangover begins for another 1400 days until Rio 2016, by which time I will be 36 with eight children, a money pit house in the country and a smelly dog called Hector. It's a far cry from Sydney 2000 which I watched in my pants, or Barcelona 92 which I glimpsed in between playing outdoors or Athens 2004 which I watched on the televisions in the corner of various boozers and in varying states of consciousness.
London 2012 is now a memory too, for its own reasons. It's all been rather beautiful.


The knowledge of the compound partnership has enabled a successful and qualitative implementation of the EVARS Project. The consortium consists of five partners from four European countries: two from Denmark, one from Germany, one from Austria, and one from Slovakia. Due to the diversities in tradition and culture of the participating countries, it was possible to introduce flexibility in training modules and practice examples. This created a transferability of the project available to other countries than just the ones participating in the EVARS Project. All partners are listed below.

Match.Com 20th Reunion Blog, #MatchTurns20
April 28, 2015 /1 Comment/in Social Media with a Conscience, The World of Wendy Sue /by Wendy Sue
The original Match.Com Team at our 20 year Anniversary Reunion
It's hard to believe that two decades ago, me and about a dozen or so others, launched Match.Com onto the internet in a San Francisco basement. I am truly honored to be a part of a new global dating paradigm and of one of the first online communities, or what we now call "social media."
I had moved from Boston to San Francisco with Entertainment Publications, a publishing company. So when I started at Match, I literally knew nothing about this new medium except that it held great potential. Did I mention "potential" is one of my middle names?! I think that holds true for all of us creative entrepreneurs.
I can't believe that twenty years ago, my colleague and good friend, Chris Butz, sat me down with a large piece of paper and mapped out this Internet thingy for me, drawing and laying out how it is all connected and how powerful it is, especially once more people get online.
Chris Butz, my Guide and Friend
My father reprimanded me out loud, "Wendy, have you gone California crazy?! Why would you leave a well-paying corporate job for a start-up that is giving you half the pay?" At this time, very few had heard about the Internet, and I agree, it sounded crazy. Fortunately, I was single and adventurous at the time, so I went for the impractical ride! And it was, by far, one of the best decisions of my life (and for those who know me, I also made many misguided decisions along the way!)
As for my role, I wore many hats, which is a part of the fabulous fun and hard work required of a start-up. I was doing marketing, business development, promotions, event management, and even PR before Trish McDermott joined us. Come by and see some of my work by clicking here!
Some of my favorite early memories from back in the day, was our intimate team meetings, where we all sat Indian style on the floor, with Gary Kremen, the Founder and our Fearless Leader, or Fran Maier, the Co-Founder and General Manager, leading the meetings. With no conference rooms or expensive tables and chairs in our cozy basement, we really bonded as family, and the deep desire to succeed wasn't just about the usual financial potential, but it came from the heart. And isn't that the best way to launch the largest matchmaking service on the planet?! I'm actually quoting the "Guinness Book of World Records" who state this as a fact! Really!!
One of my all-time favorite memories of Match was when we had a news reporter at the office, interviewing Gary. He was sitting down, again, Indian style, with his hands on his knees like a yogi, and with his tie die T-shirt on (see picture below). She asked him, "What gave you the idea to launch Match.Com?"
"I want to bring love to the planet!"
And so he did!
Gary Kremen in his favorite tie die shirt in our Match office
One of our Match.Com outreach events soon after launch
There were so many memories, learnings and new experiences that I can honestly write a book of my 1 ½ years at Match.Com. This may be a possibility, though my last book took me 3 years to write, so I am not so focused on this for now.
In the meantime, we had a most amazing 20 year reunion celebration back in San Francisco, which was not only heart-warming to see my Match family again, but also allowed me to ask a few of them some questions for this blog.
What was one of your biggest business learnings from launching the first online matchmaking service on to the Internet?
Gary Kremen: The important of distribution channel, customer acquisition cost and brand. On a personal level, I learned to stay humble and hungry and prove myself every day.
Fran Maier: We were in a new business, "online dating", which was a rite of passage with no real default in place. It was more like "dating in the wild"! It was important to have a target market and to learn how to interact with them with integrity. For us, this market was appealing to women, which meant that we had to build our reputation up in order to build this network.
Trish McDermott: When I was coaching the CEO, Gary Kremen, with media training, I tried to get him to fit into a box. What I realized soon after was that Gary was already perfect as he was, as he was genuine and he shot from the hip. My big learning here was that passion is better than perfection!
As we reminisced about the early days of Match.Com, several vibrant memories came forth. Like for me, with the Outreach hat on, I had so many people say to me in astonishment, "Why would I meet a partner through a computer? I can just go to a friend's party or a bar!"
Fran remembered one couple who came to our office, a successful match, and they were in their 70's. He was a sailor from World War II! That was definitely out of our demographic. They were so happy to have found one another, and we had constant reminders of what a good job we were doing as our success database grew exponentially!
Trish and I had a good laugh at the reunion party when she recalled how we were taking pictures of Match.Com members at one of our parties, and then uploading it to their profile (no cell phone yet!). A reporter came up to Trish and remarked, "You are crazy, who is going to put their photo up?" Lot's of LOL's!
And now Match's success has led to over 1 million babies! We've not only brought love to the planet, but we've contributed to a whole new generation.
If you have a Match story to share, please do so in my commentary section below, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Ange says:
Dear Spark, as you know very well, I am one of your success stories. In 2001, after I moved to London and left my husband of eight years and the father of my two children, you said to me "Ange, you can't stay home and look after your kids. You need to date." My immediate answer was "I don't need a man." I was enjoying my new found freedom way too much. But you kept at it. So much so that in November of that year, I gave in. The writer in me was intrigued by this online dating site and I thought I myself I could perhaps use that in one of my novels. As I was about to close down my account in February 2002, a man sent me an message through math.com. The last one I would receive. We talked over the phone for three weeks then decided to meet. He drove all the way to London (a two and half drive) just to meet me. The following summer, I moved out of London to get closer to him. Thirteen years down the line and we are getting married this summer in a beautiful cottage in Cornwall.
I love that our wedding coincides with match.com's twentieth anniversary. And where I use the material I gathered about online dating in a novel, I promise you, you will be the first one to know. 🙂

Will O'Malley run for president? We should know on May 30
Published: 15:48 EDT, 14 May 2015 | Updated: 15:48 EDT, 14 May 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley plans to announce his decision on a presidential campaign May 30 in Baltimore, preparing for what would be a long shot bid against Democratic Hillary Rodham Clinton.
O'Malley would enter the 2016 race as a relatively unknown figure nationally and face a steep climb against front-runner Clinton. O'Malley, an ex-Baltimore mayor who has visited early-voting states, has tried to present himself as a champion of progressive causes and a fresh face for liberals hesitant to support Clinton.
O'Malley was holding a Thursday night conference call with top supporters to provide an update and discuss plans for the announcement. His plans were described by an aide who was not authorized to publicly discuss internal planning and spoke on condition of anonymity.

"My timeline for a while has been by the end of May and that remains my timeline. So stay tuned," O'Malley told reporters Wednesday in New Hampshire, home of the nation's first presidential primary. O'Malley's announcement date was first reported by The Washington Post.
Holding the announcement in Baltimore could carry risk.
O'Malley's record as city leader a decade ago has faced scrutiny since rioting broke out following the death of Freddie Gray in police custody. O'Malley, mayor from 1999 until he was elected governor in 2006, has defended his work to curb violent crime in Baltimore and signaled it would play a leading role in a presidential campaign.
O'Malley frequently talks about his record in Maryland: supporting gay marriage and gun control, ending the death penalty, providing in-state college tuition for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. He has outlined a potential 2016 that would focus on economic inequality, immigration, campaign finance reform and national security.
Already in the race is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who has courted liberal voters in the party. Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb also might run. Each of the Democrats looking to challenge Clinton is hoping to become a viable alternative for Democrats who want a competitive primary.
Rather than directly criticize Clinton, the 52-year-old O'Malley has tried to portray himself as a fresh face representing a new generation of leadership.
During an event in Durham, home of the University of New Hampshire, O'Malley was asked what his presidency might offer to the aspirations of women.
O'Malley noted that Democrats helped make history by electing the nation's first black president, Barack Obama, and he cited his policies in Maryland that he said have benefited women.
While some voters may want to elect the first female president, O'Malley said there is also "a yearning of the next generation of Americans who want a new perspective and ... to solve those problems with new leadership and new perspective."
Dudley Dudley, who held the event at her home, said in an interview that O'Malley would face a "daunting" challenge against Clinton. "It would take some quite amazing turn of events certainly to affect her support here in New Hampshire," she said.
Dudley said she was not prepared to endorse O'Malley but would watch him closely.
"I'm not ready to sign in blood but I liked him very well and certainly wish him very well and will watch him evolve," she said.

Tyson Fury shows huge advantage at weigh-in ahead of Saturday's comeback v Sefer Seferi
Tyson Fury tips the scales four stones and nine pounds heavier than Sefer Seferi prior to Saturday's return to the ring
Mark Staniforth 2018/06/08
Despite shedding more than eight stones to get himself back into fighting shape, Tyson Fury will carry a significant advantage into his comeback bout against Albanian Sefer Seferi in Manchester on Saturday.
Fury weighed in at 19st 10lbs at a good-natured weigh-in on Friday, making him a full four stones and nine pounds heavier than Seferi, whom he whisked off his feet and cradled in his arms as if to labour the point.
His weight makes Fury more than stones heavier that he was for his last fight against Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, in which he won the world heavyweight title before his career threatened to spiral out of control.
Fury was stripped of his boxing licence as he fought a ban over a failed drugs test, while his much-publicised battle against depression contributed to a weight gain which led to doubts over his boxing future.
The 29-year-old is adamant his evident success in shaping up for a ring return will increase his popularity levels and, more importantly, serve as an inspiration for others who may be going through similar health issues.
Fury said: "I've had massive support throughout all my troubles, everybody's really been helping me and spurring me on.
"This isn't just me and my team, it's me and the whole nation. I seem to have everyone behind me and I'm coming back and fighting for them.
"I'm fighting for people who need inspiration and help – people who suffer from mental health problems as well.
"It's living proof if I can do it, then anyone can do it. To come from 27 and a half stone and to get to fighting level for Saturday night, then that is a statement, isn't it."
Fury is clearly intent on reclaiming the world title belts he felt were wrongly stripped from him in the wake of his win over Klitschko, and in particular securing a major showdown with reigning champion Anthony Joshua.
But he has been careful to avoid focusing too much on his future prospects in the build-up to Saturday's fight, in which the small but willing Seferi is unlikely to detain him for long.
There is no doubt Seferi can punch – 21 of his 23 wins have come inside the distance – but all his wins have come at cruiserweight, and his only loss was to heavyweight contender Manuel Charr in September 2016.
"I'm not here to dwell on the past, I'm here to move forward," added Fury. "That is all in the past so let's move on to the next chapter – the new Tyson Fury, the people's champion. There's no negativity here."

Nursing student's research project takes first place at regional symposium
Penn State Scranton nursing student Emily Scarfo's study, "The Effectiveness of a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner," recently took first place in the Biological Sciences and Health category at the annual Penn State Eastern Regional Undergraduate Research Symposium.

By Josh McAuliffe
DUNMORE, Pa. — While working recently in a local hospital's emergency room, Penn State Scranton nursing student Emily Scarfo became acquainted with the work of a sexual assault nurse examiner, or SANE for short.
It didn't take long for Scarfo to become fascinated by this growing nursing specialization, so much so that she made it the focus of an in-depth research project.
The resulting study, "The Effectiveness of a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner," recently took first place in the biological sciences and health category at the annual Penn State Eastern Regional Undergraduate Research Symposium. The fair included entries from students at six Penn State campuses, as well as the University of Scranton, Marywood University and Keystone College.
And, prior to the regional symposium, Scarfo's project took second place at the campus' Undergraduate Research Web Showcase.
The strong showings were a happy surprise for Scarfo, a former Student Government Association (SGA) president who will begin her senior year in the fall.
"I really didn't think I was going to win at any level," she said. "When I won second place at the Scranton fair, I was happy and surprised. And I was even more grateful to present my research at a different level. I never would've thought that I would have won at the regional research symposium. I was thrilled and absolutely shocked. After my mom, the first person I told was my nursing mentor at work, and she was ecstatic and told me how proud she was. I think that was more satisfying than winning the fair."
Besides majoring in nursing, Scarfo is minoring in child maltreatment and advocacy studies and pursuing her forensic nursing certificate. In those courses, she learned about the role of SANEs. However, it was during her hospital rounds that she really got to see the importance of the job up close.
"One of the nurses who quickly became one of my mentors is a SANE nurse, so I started to pick her brain about her role and job duties," Scarfo said. "When my research class came along, I knew I had to do a project I was interested in if I was going to make it through the semester. I knew that this is a newer nursing field, so I thought I would explore the effectiveness of the role to provide education on why this nursing role is essential in emergency rooms."
SANEs provide sexual assault victims with a comforting, safe place to heal and rest while also collecting and preserving evidence that allow for stronger court cases and, ultimately, justice for patients. In addition, they provide patients with critical resources needed to process and heal from the trauma of their experience.
While the current body of research on SANEs is light given the field's relative newness, Scarfo did find several articles — case studies, qualitative interviews, etc. — that provided some substantive information on the job.
Through her data collection, Scarfo concluded that SANEs provide patients with better overall outcomes than emergency room nurses who don't possess the same specialized training.
"I wasn't surprised that the role was effective, but I was surprised by the different benefits that a SANE nurse has on a patient," Scarfo said. "Specifically, I found that victims were more likely to press charges and that a SANE testimonial was key in convictions. The other finding I was surprised by was that victims get back to their 'normal life' faster when cared for by a SANE."
Thanks to the project, Scarfo discovered a love of research that she didn't know she had. It's something she said she'll continue to pursue even after she settles into her nursing career.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to present my research, because I know that not everyone has that opportunity at their school," Scarfo said. "And I'm even more grateful for how encouraging my professors were and how each of my professors took the time to read each and every one of our research projects. That shows their dedication to us.
"This was definitely a passion project and a career I will be pursuing," she continued. "After all, the reason I chose nursing was to take care of and advocate for people who can't do that for themselves."

Bill Buckner Wins First Game as Rox Manager
Posted on May 26, 2011 by Noontime Sports	Leave a comment

By Matt Noonan
BROCKTON, MA — No one enjoyed Thursday's game more than Bill Buckner, who was all smiles after his team's first win of the season against the Worcester Tornadoes.
"It was fun [tonight]. It keeps your attention going," Buckner said. "It's great. It's always easier when your pitching coach is pitching. It make it a little bit more nicer day in the coaches room."
Brockton began the game with a Chris Grossman home run in the second inning, which was followed up by two Melvin Falu RBI's that brought Dominic Ramos to the plate twice. Mike Smith tossed five innings, struck out one batter and allowed five hits and really, that's all the Rox needed to win their first game of the season.
"Always, the first one is the best one," Falu said. "[We need to] just need to keep trying to win every game."
As for the Tornadoes, well, Lady Luck wasn't exactly on their side, as Worcester finished the game with one run and seven hits, which certainly didn't please rookie manager Ed Riley.
Although, while all of Brockton is celebrating their first win of the season, let's call off Friday's parade or a speech by Mayor Linda M. Balzotti and understand, it's just one game. This wasn't the league championship or round one of the playoffs, it was just one game, but hey, it's a great way to start the season, right?
"[Bill Buckner] is happy now, he's happy," Falu said with a big smile.
"It was a good atmosphere at the ballpark and [my] guys are ready to play and have fun. Everybody has their goals set in the same thing, [we want to] win a championship, so we'll see how that goes," Buckner said.
The Rox and Tornadoes will play each other 10 more times before the season concludes, but winning their first game was certainly an important step toward winning a league title. Brockton has never won the CanAm League, but after an impressive win against Worcester on Thursday, certainly every member of the Rox organization has one thing on their mind, winning.
"I'm not a player, but it's nice to see the players succeed. That's what it's all about," Buckner said.

Exploring computational access to the UK Government Web Archive (Part 1)
Thursday 1 December 2022 | Jake Bickford | Archives and archivists | Comment
Our Research Exchange series features the work of researchers across The National Archives in which they discuss their new discoveries and their work's potential for impact. The purpose of the series is to highlight and demystify the research we do and open it up to new ideas and discussion.
In November and December, to coincide with our upcoming Annual Digital Lecture, we will be publishing a series of blogs focusing on different aspects of digital research happening at The National Archives.
Our staff will be writing and reflecting on their research, discussing topics such as using AI in archives, using 3D Virtual Tech to access heritage collections, archiving citizen research projects, and much more.
Jake writes…
The UK Government Web Archive (UKGWA) preserves the websites and social media accounts of central government, and can be accessed by anyone online. In this two-part interview, Jake Bickford, Web Archiving Assistant at the UKGWA, speaks to two researchers who have recently published on using computational methods to explore the UKGWA. Mark Bell is Senior Digital Researcher at The National Archives, and Leontien Talboom is a National Archives/University College London collaborative PhD researcher, and Web Archivist at Cambridge University Libraries. In this, the first part of the interview, Mark and Leontien discuss their motivations for working with web archives, some of the challenges web archives present to researchers, and how they used Jupyter notebooks to address some of these issues.
How did you first get interested in working with web archives? And what interested you in the UKGWA in particular?
Mark Bell: My first exposure to the web archive was while preparing datasets for a Computational Archival Science (CAS) workshop in 2018. We already had text datasets so I extracted hyperlinks from web pages so that we could have a team working on network analysis. I chose UKGWA because we wanted to work with our own collections but it also has the advantage of being openly accessible. What I find particularly interesting about it is the breadth of material – there's the core central government estate but then there are thousands of sites around the periphery which can be about almost anything.
Leontien Talboom: Similar to Mark, my first real exposure to web material was during the CAS workshop in 2018, when we did network analysis on the web material. This was the first time that I realised how interesting and complex web archives were. Not only was it born-digital material, which is one of the focuses of my PhD work, but it also has a complex temporal aspect to it which makes it fascinating. The UKGWA was of particular interest, as it was (and still is) one of the only fully openly accessible born-digital collections out there.
How do web archives differ from other archival material you have worked with? What advice would you give to researchers coming to web archives for the first time?
MB: I find the immediacy of it really interesting. The rest of the archive is at least 20 years old but something could have happened this morning and already be archived. The other big difference is the coverage which in some cases (e.g. COVID-related pages) must be approaching 100% of versions of a web page, whereas the traditional archive undergoes selection (~10%). I think my advice is to browse before you search and use the timelines to get a feel for the frequency of captures for different sites.
LT: It differs in the sense that it is all very new material: like Mark says, some of these websites are being archived today, whereas other ones date back a couple of decades. What is fascinating also is how there are multiple snapshots of the same web page over a number of years, making it possible to compare change. Not only comparing the content of the material, but also for example the changing style choices of web pages and technologies used to create these pages. A tip for researchers getting started with this material is to understand how web archives are created. This really helped me at the start, just releasing that these are live captures of the web, not just archived HTML/CSS pages that a depositor has given to the archive.

Why do you think more traditional methods, such as keyword search aren't – by themselves – adequate for grappling with web archives?
MB: The scale means you generally get too many results to sift through, and the 'duplication' (quotes because they're not exact duplicates) mean you get even more results. Secondly, the results are not sorted intelligently as they would be with a search engine, which means the most relevant result for your search is unlikely to be on page 1 – it may not even be in the first 100 pages.
LT: Totally agree with Mark here, also just a full text search does not necessarily make it possible to work with this material in an easier way. As searching for terms such as 'Prime Minister' would give millions of results. The search results provided are then not necessarily relevant to prime minister, but will just flag any mention of it, even if it is on a web page about something totally different. This can be frustrating for users of the web archive.
There are currently more than nine million results for the term 'Prime Minister' in the UKGWA
As part of your recent paper, you created Jupyter Notebooks to facilitate computational access to the UKGWA. Could you tell us what that involved and why you went for that option?
MB: We already had experience of using Jupyter Notebooks hosted on Google's Colab platform for the Machine Learning Club we ran in 2020. They provide an environment for running Python code which is accessible through a web browser removing the complexities of installing software, and allowing you to just jump straight into the analysis. A Jupyter Notebook consists of a mixture between descriptive text and boxes containing code to be executed at the click of an arrow. The code can in turn produce textual output, tabular data, and visualisations. This means you can produce and share a fully documented and reproducible analytical workflow. They are already accepted in the web archiving community thanks to the GLAM Workbench.
It still wasn't quite as simple as chucking some code into a Notebook though. We also wanted to facilitate those without Google accounts by providing the option to use the MyBinder service, which meant coding around some of the differences between the two platforms. Some of the code used was quite complex and didn't necessarily add to the narrative (e.g. text indexing) so we hid that away behind one-line functions, although the code itself was openly viewable in Github. We also used extra widgets like dropdown boxes to reduce the need for users to edit code to try different parameters out. The point was to show just enough code to demonstrate the intricacies of working with the web archive while not overwhelming the user. A lot of those intricacies were discovered while writing the Notebook so it was an informative exercise.
LT: Just to add in a more general note, Notebooks are providing an infrastructure to explore archived collections in a different way and it does need a bit of fiddling to get it right. The main worry now is the sustainability of this approach, considering that in the short span of working with these Notebooks we already ran into several issues with Google updating their Colab platform. However, for the time being they are a great option for the community. We just hope that our article adds to this encouragement of thinking about a more robust infrastructure to provide computational access to material.
Jupyter Notebooks provide an accessible way of exploring the collection with computational techniques
One approach you took was combining different sources of information such as Discovery and the UKGWA A to Z list of archived websites. What was the thinking behind that approach and how did it work out?
MB: The web archive is catalogued in Discovery but not in an integrated way – it feels like each site is just another box tucked at the end of a shelf. So I wanted to bring the two together properly. The descriptions in Discovery aren't very informative compared to those in the A-Z, but Discovery has the department and the added bonus of an administrative history for about a third of sites. Bringing them together highlighted a couple of things for me: firstly, it was the immediacy of metadata generated by an automated process (crawling websites) and the slower time, manual process of cataloguing. Secondly, it was reminder of how the catalogue captures different data to the UKGWA – the collection may hold records which aren't in the web archive, for example. The administrative history is a good example of this as it tells a different story to what you might get if you just described what was contained in a website. We experimented with comparing machine learning generated summaries of a site with the administrative history in the notebooks.
LT: For me this was an important one, as many people within our field worry about the obsolescence of the digital archivist, as the machines may be taken over the work. But this Notebook highlights how both metadata from the catalogue and from UKWA itself are useful and both types of metadata provide a different perspective on the material.
The second part of the interview, discussing the problems of accessing data for computational research and Mark and Leontien's thoughts on the future of the field, will be next week. The Jupyter Notebooks discussed in this interview are available from Github and the accompanying article is 'Keeping it under lock and keywords: exploring new ways to open up the web archives with Notebooks'.

Q: How to kill (and close) tabs from pid? How can I kill and close a tab of the browser from his pid?
I tried the command:
int kill(pid_t pid, int sig);

but it not works because Visual Studio says that the kill identifier is not found. I added all the libraries (sys/types.h, signal.h)
Then I tried the TerminateProcess(HANDLE,UINT) command. It works with programs (can close every window) but it not works with the browser tabs: it clears the content of the tab but the tab still remains opened.
How can I resolve?
Thank you!

A: You cannot close a tab by killing the process. Modern browsers use child processes for their web content for security and stability reasons. If a child process dies the browser assumes that it crashed and will restore or ask the user if they want to restore the page.
The ShellWindows object allows you to interface with open Internet Explorer windows.

It is my privilege to lead the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF). We are the state's largest health plan serving about 22% of the population through Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program), the Children's Health Plan Plus (CHP+), and other safety net programs. Our focus has been working with providers and other key partners on improving the health outcomes and quality of care; improving health plan operations and service to providers and members; identifying opportunities to control Medicaid claim trends; and driving health care affordability to employers and consumers served in the private insurance arena.
Over the last year, we collaborated with health care thought leaders to craft and roll out Colorado's Health Care Affordability Roadmap to respond to one of the state's and the nation's most complex and pressing challenges - controlling health care costs. We've engaged employers and their representatives; consumer advocates and union leaders; providers and their representatives (including the Colorado Medical Society leaders); innovators and their associations; Regional Accountable Entities; commercial payers and more. The Roadmap is designed to be customized by geographic communities across the state under the philosophy that all health care is local.
Given Medicaid's size and budget ($10B, 25% of the State's General Fund), the Roadmap informs Medicaid cost control strategy, and Medicaid learnings inform the Roadmap. The Roadmap's ability to drive efficiencies across the continuum of Medicaid spend directly impacts the budget dollars available to invest in other key areas of state government such as transportation and education. By providing insights, the Roadmap is also an effective tool to inform health care policy.
The Roadmap's initial focus areas were chosen because of their impact and consistent relevance to the health care cost equation, as well as our ability to lower health care costs to the benefit of all Coloradans by creating effective strategy in each category.
Constrain prices, especially hospital and prescription drugs.
Align and strengthen data infrastructure.
Improve our population and behavioral health.
We are now implementing a few Roadmap concepts through SB 18-266, Controlling Medicaid Costs. Specifically, this bill provided funding to rollout provider cost and quality tools like Prometheus and the prescriber tool, to launch an inpatient hospital review program that will help us target those who need the most support when transitioning out of a hospital and modernize our claim edits to match commercial payer standards. For those new to it, Prometheus can identify potentially avoidable complications and inform referrals based on quality. The new physician Prescriber Tool offers payer and patient costs for alternative drug therapies while also offering "health improvement programs" available under the patient's unique medical plan design. Finally, doctors will have a single tool that aggregates health improvement programs and cost-effective prescription therapy insights, inclusive of all payer reimbursement and program information.
Governor Polis has asked us to be bold. Thank you for engaging in the affordability conversation, and for being thought leaders. We appreciate your partnership, and we look forward to moving boldly forward together to respond to the voices of the Coloradans we jointly serve.

Q: What is the best way to move half a million files to another folder based on a list? How do I move a large number of files to another folder quickest?
I have a repository of 800,000+ xml files from the IRS, and I'm trying to move a subset (approx 500,000) to a new folder. So far I've created a batch file that uses a list of filenames to move them. It's working, but it's too slow. The batch file has been executing for about an hour now, but only one file has been moved into the new folder.
Is there anyway I could improve the efficiency of my batch file? Or is there a better way to do this?

A: The batch file actually worked! When I hit cntrl c in the command line, files appeared. After rerunning it, I got what I needed.
So I guess the take away from all this is hit cntrl c if you don't know what the script is doing, and have patience. =)
