Awareness opens our hearts and minds to a world of pain and distress that previously only glanced off the surface of consciousness, like a stone skipping across water. But awareness also teaches us to read between the lines and to see beneath the world of appearances…. Awareness deepens because we hear more acutely the cries of the world. Each of those cries has written within it the plea to be received.
My dive into compassionate reading, listening, and watching went deeper after my fall into Unitarian Universalist infamy, which you can read about here, with a brief addition here. Being labeled racist led me to much reading, documentary viewing, and thinking about race and oppression.
Still image from video of Cruz Velazquez at the San Ysidro border crossing from Tijuana to San Diego.
A highlight (if that's an appropriate word) was hearing the best speech I've ever attended in person, by Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy, which I read after hearing him speak. Another excellent book on race, class, prison, and oppression is Chris Hayes's A Colony in a Nation, and of course there's the documentary film 13th, by Ava DuVernay. These all point to a culture in which Jim Crow oppression against the black population of the United States is alive and thriving in a new form.
Oppression by agents of Customs and Border Enforcement is alive, too, and goes back before the current administration. One highly painful ABC documentary shows the death of Mexican teenager Cruz Velazquez after he was caught in 2013 at the border with two bottles of highly concentrated liquid methamphetamine. The 16-year-old apparently told the agents that it was just juice he was carrying, so they encouraged him to drink some. His death was worse than a state execution gone wrong. "Cruel and unusual" doesn't begin to describe it.
Along the way, during my deep dive into injustice and oppression, I happened to learn more about my own (Jewish) family history in what's now Belarus — the time during the First World War when my old and frail paternal grandfather was put into harness to pull a plow so German troops would have vegetables to eat. I already knew that my maternal grandmother spent her childhood in indentured servitude because her parents couldn't afford to feed her. And I knew about my two uncles, two aunts, and five first cousins lost to the holocaust.
My most recent act of compassionate watching and listening was the Netflix documentary series The Keepers. It seems at first to be about the murder of a Roman Catholic nun in Baltimore in 1969, but some amateur and semi-pro sleuthing leads to a highly credible but still unproved story of sadistic sexual abuse of more than 100 girls in Archbishop Keough High School. The victims and perpetrators of this oppression were all white — living in a working-class neighborhood of Baltimore.
My Buddhism teaches me to respond to all victims of oppression (and all people everywhere) with metta, or loving kindness. Yet I've seen objections to the production of The Keepers because the story unfolds in a self-segregated white neighborhood and high school with almost no on-camera black faces. If I understand the objection, it's that these working-class victims and their families are also part of the white supremacy culture that killed Freddie Gray.
That's where my metta becomes harder to practice. Oppression and injustice are not competitive sports with winners and losers and a need to take sides. Oppression is a sickness that afflicts all of us, and compassion toward all beings is the cure.
Yes, hard to hold on to equanimity while maintaining compassion.

EDM Wednesday Briefing: Severe Weather Impacts South, Tornadoes Cause Widespread Damage, Bill Gates Backs FBI
February 24, 2016 Kimberly Arsenault
Emergency and disaster management briefing for February 24, 2016: Severe weather spawns multiple tornadoes, causing deaths and widespread damage in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida, hospitals in Texas may have a rapid Zika diagnosing test, the sea level rise worse than previously thought, and Bill Gates supports FBI in data quest.
A severe weather system turned deadly late Tuesday when a series of at least seven tornadoes ripped through areas in Louisiana and Mississippi. Schools and government offices closed early in anticipation of the storm system that included high winds, heavy rains, severe thunderstorms, flooding, hail, and tornadoes. The storms and tornadoes downed power lines and trees, and the golf-ball-sized hail also caused damage to area homes. Energy Louisiana indicated that the storm knocked out power to thousands of customers.
Convent, Louisiana was the site of a devastating tornado that completely destroyed 160 mobile homes, killed two, and left several others missing. Officials are hopeful the missing will eventually be found at area hospitals or elsewhere. Search dogs combed the mangled debris for survivors who might be trapped in the rubble.
Another tornado touched down in the Louisiana Parish of Assumption, where it toppled a water tower and destroyed at least 20 homes. Other tornadoes ripped through Livingston Parish and Prairieville, Louisiana where it severely damaged a Gold's Gym. A lightning strike also took out the radar system at the National Weather Service when it hit the building in Slidell, Louisiana, causing the facility to switch to its back up system.
As the system moved east, cities in the Florida panhandle also experienced severe weather threats, including a tornado in Escambia County, near Pensacola, collapsing buildings and triggering gas leaks. Flooding and debris blocked roadways have resulted in area road closures.
Two hospitals in Texas believe they have developed a test that can diagnose the Zika virus in just a few hours. The test was developed by the Texas Children's Hospital and Houston Methodist Hospital in an effort to reduce the time needed to identify the virus, therefore speeding treatment.
Sea levels are rising much faster than previously thought, and it is likely contributed directly to the industrial age and current temperature increases. This is according to two reports published Monday in journals of the National Academy of Sciences that note the sea levels will increase by a foot a century at current emissions. That means by the year 2100, sea levels could increase anywhere from 11 to 22 inches if the Paris climate agreements are upheld. If not, the reports suggests sea level increases of 22 to 52 inches.
As the fight between Apple and the FBI continues in efforts to unblock the San Bernardino shooter's phone, Bill Gates has come forward in full support of the FBI. His support is in opposition to other tech savvy company heads including Google, Twitter, and Facebook. He claims that the request is valid since they are asking only for a specific device to be unlocked, but Apple disagrees noting that it would create software that would put millions of user's data at risk.
According to a recent survey, half the nation supports the FBI in their quest, but a recent show of support via social media might speak differently, says one report. The account notes that it is likely that majority of the people polled do not really understand the implications of creating such software, or the threat is poses, including vulnerabilities to hackers or spies from other nation's.
Additionally, a list of federally-filed cases has recently been opened that indicates numerous other iPhones that the U.S. Justice system is demanding data from - indicating that San Bernardino is not a single request.

California is known for its colorful citrus trees, and taking proper care is important to ensure these trees stay healthy and fruitful for years to come. In addition to watering, pruning and fertilizing your citrus trees this spring, be sure to inspect your trees for signs of a dangerous pest called the Asian citrus psyllid, and citrus tree disease called Huanglongbing. To learn more, visit @CaliforniaCitrusThreat or CaliforniaCitrusThreat.org.


One thing a blogger or an owner of a website needs to take into consideration of is its bounce rate. This is very important for it tells you on how many visitors are "bouncing" away on your site. A bounce rate determines the success or failure of a website.
"A term used in web site traffic analysis. It essentially represents the percentage of initial visitors to a site who "bounce" away to a different site, rather than continue on to other pages within the same site." With this definition, we may say that the lower the bounce rate of your website is, the better. For this means that visitors are exploring more through your website's content.
Viewers are impatient when it comes in loading a website. If it takes too long to load, users tend to just close the window or find another site.
Viewers are good at recognizing if a website offers a well-informed content, for they are trying to find the most relevant and quality content related on what they are looking for. Put all the relevant information that is needed by all kinds of viewers. Also, always start from the most significant information. Your text is one way of promoting your site, so your better put relevant information on your content.
Grammar is very important to consider in writing an effective web content. When viewers see that your content is in good grammar, it gives them an impression that you are knowledgeable. A content that is well-written tend to bring viewers back again and again on the site. Also, it must be constructed well to give a professional look on your content.
Headings are very important, because these are the first phrase your viewers will read. It should be relevant, where it directly describes your topic and if possible sums up everything you write. It should be attractive and drives curiosity on your viewers.
Creativity should also include on your component when we are talking about web interface. A beautiful background can attract viewers to explore your website, just make sure that your background is related to what you are promoting for. Also, never use more than one background on each page. This gives a thought to your users that when a background changes, they are stepping on another website.
Colours are also one way of bringing your viewers to go on your web page onto the other. Capture their attention by using attractive colours that is relevant on what you promote. Never use bright colors, this can irritate their eyes. Also, choose a color combination that could reflect your business or personality.
Readable If your viewers find it hard for them to read your text, they would just close the window or find another website. Make sure you fonts are in a size where it can be read properly. Most designers use 12px for the body text and H2 for the header.
Appropriate Be appropriate. For instance, if you are creating a website for a company it would be better if you used a professional looking font rather than something hand-written.
Creative Did you know that you can be creative evener with the fonts you are using? Yes you can. For instance, if you want to emphasize something you can put your fonts in bold letters. If you want to put more life on your site, use lively font colors. Just make sure it still look readable and professional.
Audio: Music is relaxing, but not appropriate for a website. It is not good to put a music on a website. First, it adds to the loading. Second, it can annoy your viewers. There is an appropriate place for music, but it is not for a website.
Images: Images are great way in attracting viewers. Research says that viewers are more into viewing images than reading.
Videos: It is okay to put videos, just make sure that they are related. Also, do not put it in an automatically played setting. This makes the website load slowly.


Weather conditions and scenery form a basic part of what makes each scene in a story. Be it nighttime, daytime, raining, scorching, snowing... Weather and time can help create an impression without the need for excessive exposition from characters or even the need for any kind of dialogue recap of events. This style is generally used within the visual arts, as books have the necessary leeway to have such descriptions from the narration, whether they're a third-person presence or one of the characters in first person.
The basic principle is simple. You want to communicate in the shortest space of time what the general mood is, either in the story or with the characters. This can lead to being liberal with the nature of weather and time, but that's something else entirely. It's a different element to camera angles, which can also be used to emphasise mood for characters and the general story. A basic example: it's a downer part of the story, and your characters are in a sour mood, or perhaps you're showing the villain's triumphant tirade - the most likely scenario would be that it's nighttime and probably raining, or at least clouded or threatening a storm.
Western films and television don't seem to use it as much as they used to, especially with the recent trend for an off-grey filter which is applied to stories that are prone to use these effects (melodramas, detective stories, fantasy/sci-fi). But where it is used, it's worth noting. In The Fall of the Roman Empire, the final scenes show the Rome and the unhinged Commodus bathed in glorious sunlight in the Forum, contrasting directly with the tragic scenes which have unfolded so far and continue to do so. Something from the superhero genre that springs to mind is Spider Man 3. A key scene during the second half is when Parker realises he is being suborned by the symbiote, and sits on the spire of a church while a storm and rain surrounds him. As Parker struggles to tear off the symbiote, Eddie Brook comes for solace down below and becomes the symbiote's latest host. The surrounding storm emphasises the dark subject matter of this scene - however, this scene can feel gratuitous more than emotional if you're not invested in the film. Rain is a wonderful mood maker, and its use during the 1990s version of Godzilla creates an omnipresent dimness, and finally sorrow at the wondrous beast's ultimate fate. The blazing sun is also an inseparable element from Westerns ranging from The Magnificent Seven to , throwing into sharp relief everything that's happening.
One of the few singular masters of this in film is Akira Kurosawa, whose camera angles and juxtaposition of movement to stillness makes all of his movies contenders for being cinematic masterpieces in both Japan and internationally. From his black and white era, Yojimbo is the most entertaining and accessible of his movies from the period, but if you're willing there are other films such as Seven Samurai and - Yojimbo's mood is exemplified by its setting of a dusty village torn apart by rival gangs, while nighttime scenes emphasise the darker or more covert parts of the story. Other parts of his work also use weather to good effect (such as the swing scene from Ikiru or the rain falling around the Rajomon gate). One of the best examples, if not the best example of this from color pictures is Ran, which also plays with the concept of surroundings and contrast, adding further depth to Kurosawa's work. The burning sun exemplifies the fallen Daimyo's descent into madness and the growing animosity between his suns and the neighboring Daimyo.
In video games, weather and times of day are used similarly and perhaps more liberally to convey story and character mood. Dishonored uses weather as an indicator of the character's moral alignment and their effect on the world, while Heavy Rain uses rain in copious amounts as both a story device and indication of the sorrowful mood. A less well known but still effective use of rain and damp in darkness is the sixth level of Tomb Raider Legend. Darkened scenes illuminated by fire are more than frequent, and often accompany sombre scenes - the party resting in Final Fantasy X, XIII and XV, the tense talk between Koudelka and Edward in Koudelka, and multiple scenes in Drakengard 3 and the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot. Fire can be used to greater effect than other weather effects. In fact, it's so interesting to see its wider scope and general use in storytelling that I think I'll make that the subject of my next post!
I couldn't possibly list every single use of these elements in every film and video game and book, but I've picked out the ones that stood out to me. I don't always think these tricks of scenery and weather - they can come off as cheap of cliche. But I think they're worth mentioning as something that form a part of every story's cinematic, imaginary and artistic DNA.
Let there be Fire (for that scene, anyway)!

Coordinating Care from Amputation through Rehabilitation
By Laura Fonda Hochnadel
¡En Español!
They say no man is an island, and that is likely true with regard to healthcare professionals providing the most effective O&P care. According to the experts The O&P EDGE spoke to, the more members of a patient's healthcare team coordinate with each other, the better the patient's outcome.
The O&P EDGE asked professionals from several different healthcare settings how they go about coordinating care from amputation through rehabilitation and how this improves their ability to care for their patients.
What Is "Coordinated Care?"
Due to a lack of a consensus definition of "coordinated care," the authors of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ's) Care Coordination Measures Atlas (2011) defined the term using common data from 40 definitions they extracted after completing a targeted literature review. From that work, they developed a purposely broad definition of coordinated care.
Care coordination is the deliberate organization of patient care activities between two or more participants (including the patient) involved in a patient's care to facilitate the appropriate delivery of healthcare services. Coordinating care involves the marshalling of personnel and other resources needed to carry out all required patient care activities and is often managed by the exchange of information among participants responsible for different aspects of care.
The authors also identified five key elements comprising coordinated care:
Numerous participants are typically involved.
Coordination is necessary since participants depend on each other to carry out disparate activities in a patient's care.
To carry out these activities in a coordinated way, each participant needs adequate knowledge about his or her own and others' roles and available resources.
To manage all required patient care activities, participants rely on exchange of information.
Integration of care activities has the goal of facilitating appropriate delivery of healthcare services.

Communication and Information Exchange Are Key
Inherent in the term "coordinated care" is the involvement of multiple participants from a variety of medical backgrounds. For the care of individuals with amputations, it can be as inclusive as involving the surgeon, a case worker or case manager, a physician, a physiatrist, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, nurses, a prosthetist, a social worker, and a mental healthcare professional. It can be as simple as involving the physician, physical therapist, and prosthetist. Or it can fall somewhere in the middle of these two ranges. Regardless of the size of the coordinated care team, our experts agree that communication and the exchange of information are critical to making the model work and providing the best possible outcomes for their patients.
Erenstone
"Communication is so essential," says Chris Wallace, CPO, FAAOP, the director of orthotics and prosthetics at Methodist Orthotics and Prosthetics, a division of Methodist Rehabilitation Center, Flowood, Mississippi. "To have an understanding from all the stakeholders about [our outcome goals] is vital. When the care is coordinated between all the various members of the team we can all have that common goal in sight and all work together." Sometimes achieving that common goal involves stepping outside of defined positions or care models as well as some clever thinking.
Jeff Erenstone, CPO, president and head clinician of Mountain Orthotic & Prosthetic Services, Lake Placid, New York, owns and operates an eight-person O&P patient care facility in a rural area where there is a lack of physiatrists-the medical professionals who he believes are best suited to be the coordinated care leaders. To compensate, he has assumed some of those duties into his role.
"I'll work with the discharge planners from the hospitals to help make sure [the new amputee patient] goes someplace where they can get the continued care they need from a prosthetics standpoint," he says. He also works with the nursing staffs and hospitals, especially if a patient has been fit with an immediate post-operative prosthesis (IPOP). He has gone so far as to write IPOP-related protocols, which he has gotten sanctioned by the physicians and the hospitals with whom he works. "They now have this education on a device that they couldn't learn how to don otherwise," he says.
Erenstone says he made a concerted effort to get to this level of involvement. He opened his practice about six years ago and says he immediately starting introducing himself to local healthcare professionals. Whenever he received a prescription that he had a question about, he called the physician to ask about the patient and then followed up with some information about him and his practice methods. "It took work. It took a lot of steps," he says. But now he has formed relationships and gained the trust of local surgeons and physicians, and the lines of communication are open.
Both Wallace and Patrick Logan, CPO, work at rehabilitation facilities with no acute hospital affiliation-Logan is vice president of operations and development at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital Orthotics & Prosthetics, a sister corporation of Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, Grand Rapids, Michigan. The O&P staff at Mary Free Bed O&P and Methodist Rehab have also formed relationships and opened avenues of communication with local surgeons who will call, fax, or send an e-mail when their services are needed. Logan and his staff make themselves available for pre-amputation consults with patients. Wallace says that reaching out in this way is beneficial to the patient and prosthetic care outcome.
"The patients are much more involved in their care at that point," Wallace says. "Rather than being reactionary to what is happening, they are beginning to investigate products and approaches so they become more involved in the process.... They ask more important questions. They are looking at more long-term solutions."
Yet he understands why surgeons don't always reach out to subsequent members of the amputee care team. "Their job is to resolve whatever it is that needs to be resolved through surgery and then get the patient to another physician who will manage the care," he explains.
Conversely, the amputee clinic at The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR) Memorial Hermann, Houston, Texas, is affiliated with an acute care hospital, and the surgeons who perform amputations readily reach out to the clinic. A simple phone call is all it takes for a physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) consult with a patient either preamputation or shortly thereafter. "In that case I use a lot of educational tools, which we have through the Amputee Coalition...[and] I give them two websites-one is the Amputee Coalition website...and the second is oandp.com...," says Danielle Melton, MD, director of the TIRR Memorial Herman Amputee Program and clinical assistant professor in the PM&R Department, University of Texas at Houston Health Science Center. She says this helps the patients "feel like they are gaining more control over their situation then they would have normally."
A Means to an End
All of our experts agree that the common goal with their patients who have undergone an amputation is restoring patient mobility and achieving the best possible prosthetic outcomes.
"We are here to rehabilitate people," Wallace emphasizes. "And part of that rehabilitation is to return them or restore them to their former capability as much as possible."
So how do our experts, within their various care models, go about restoring mobility to their patients with amputations?
For patients who undergo amputation surgery at TIRR Memorial Hermann, the typical protocol is that he or she is discharged home for recovery and then the patient follows up with the surgeon who transitions him or her to Melton and the amputee clinic for pre-prosthetic care. At the amputee clinic, the patient is seen by a multidisciplinary team comprising Melton, the prosthetist, the physical therapist, a member of the nursing department, and Melton's clinic coordinator. Melton says that though they are not a part of the patient assessment, the amputee clinic also has access to an onsite social worker and an onsite psychologist.
"I'll do the physical exam, and then we'll...go down the list of prosthetic needs. At the end, we'll say, 'Okay, you need to follow up,' or we recap on the things we are going to do as far as the [prosthetic] plan goes...," Melton explains.
Aside from direct interaction, the coordinated care team relies heavily on electronic medical records (EMRs) as a means to exchange information, coordinate care with the in-system staff, and receive patient updates. Another advantage of the insystem staff, Melton says, is they are just a phone call away. "[I] could pick up the phone and call the surgeon and say, 'Hey, at what point can we take out the sutures?' or 'Do you want me to take out the sutures?'" E-mail and text messages are also often used communication options for in-system staff and outside referrals, Melton says, emphasizing that her clinical coordinator plays a large role in facilitating this communication for her and ensuring patient care follow-up.
The care coordination and information exchange is augmented by use of a template that the amputee clinic follows. Melton says the template is based on work the Amputee Coalition's Scientific & Medical Advisory Committee (SciMAC), of which she is chair, is doing with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish what documentation is in the O&P patient's medical record, as well as a continually modified and refined version of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amputee care template. "We are always trying to update it to make sure we have all the relevant information, especially from a documentation standpoint," she says. The template helps the amputee clinic assess issues from activities of daily living, to pain levels, to medical complications, to pre- and post-amputation functional status, to prosthetic fit, to past and current medical history, to exercise and therapy programs. In essence, the clinic notes Melton and her colleagues collect by using this template become the care plan, she says. This template, too, is the basis for the physical therapy and prosthetic prescriptions.
Mary Free Bed's amputee program provides an integrated approach to care, referred to as the Amputee Continuum. "We treat one aspect of the patient [in the O&P clinic], but it covers a broad continuum of what the patient needs," Logan says. That broad spectrum includes diabetes management, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, post-stroke comorbidities, chronic pain, custom seating, orthoses, and assistive technology-provided through Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital. He says that many of the individuals with amputations that they see also require an orthotic device.
For the initial visit to the amputee clinic, the patient's needs are assessed under the guidance of the Amputee Program Director Benjamin Bruinsma, MD, with a prosthetist and physical therapist in attendance. Logan says that these needs can extend beyond prosthetic care and physical therapy to include medical, financial, or psychological assistance. A feature of the Mary Free Bed Amputee Program is that Bruinsma can make arrangements with the proper healthcare team member to provide the patient with the assistance he or she needs, Logan explains. "And they will assess training needs, any physical therapy needs...prosthetic needs, and...if they have some other needs beyond that." Mary Free Bed also offers its patients what Logan says is one of nine accredited motion analysis labs in the country. This allows them, he says, to "not only provide the prescribed devices but provide objective data to prove how they improve a patient's function. We can essentially quantify our outcomes."
Like the amputee clinic at TIRR Memorial Hermann, Mary Free Bed O&P relies heavily on communicating and exchanging information via EMRs; the facility is in the process of updating its EMR system to one that is better suited to meet its needs, Logan says. Communication is also made possible via pagers, e-mail, and phones. "They can call us, and we can pretty much be reached anytime, anywhere with cell phones," Logan says. "We are accessible. If something is needed inpatient- or outpatientwise, we are a phone call or e-mail away. Sometimes they just come and get us."
The convenience of being just a walk away is something that Wallace and the O&P department at Methodist Rehab have in common with Mary Free Bed O&P. "Because the main outpatient O&P patient care facility is physically connected to the outpatient neurophysical therapy department, there can be a lot of walking back and forth between the two departments to collaborate on patient care," Wallace says. If the patient is in the O&P facility "and having some issues that either aren't being addressed with therapy, or need more extensive therapy, we have that availability to talk to the therapist, converse with the physician, and get those things worked out," he says. But it is not this easy, he acquiesces, for patients who have not gone through Methodist Rehab's inpatient amputee rehabilitation or who are not seeing physical therapists at its Flowood facility.
"For many, it is still a matter of getting on the phone and talking to [the physical therapist]," Wallace says. "[W]e'll actually make a trip to the patient's physical therapist's office on one of their first visits. That way we can describe the componentry the patient is using. If the therapist is not really familiar with some of it, we can give them some education at the same time so that they are training the patient correctly. We will provide that interaction early on as much as we can to make sure that we are getting the best outcome from these therapy services as well."
Erenstone likewise avails himself to accompany patients to physical therapy appointments so he can be at hand to make adjustments to the patient's prosthesis or share his knowledge and resources with the physical therapist. "I have amputee gait education videos that I loan out to therapists in case they don't feel comfortable or are unfamiliar with amputees," he explains. He says that physical therapists are easier to contact, which he does via e-mail or phone, and he finds that the best way to contact physicians is to forward his suggestion or request through their nursing staff. "A lot of times I'll contact the nursing staff and they'll run it by the doctor when the doctor has a free moment, and then the doctor will go forward with it." When necessary, however, he has contacted physicians via e-mail, phone, and pager. "Very seldom do I get face-to-face meetings. When I do it takes many scheduling attempts," he says, adding that physicians are generally so pressed for time that it is not worth pursuing.
The benefits to the patient are what make this extra work worthwhile, our experts agree. While it takes more work on the front end, it reduces the back-end work and increases patient satisfaction and outcomes.
"If I manage their care a little bit more, they're probably going to be a higher functioning amputee who is going to need additional prostheses in the future," Erenstone says. "It makes the patients happy, it makes the doctor happy, and it makes the patient outcome better. I am always looking for win-win situations." Further keeping patients in mind, he has compiled a list of resources including home health agencies, independent living centers, and places to go for assistive devices such as hand controls for a car.
Melton says coordinated care is all about accessibility. "[W]hatever it is they need from a medical necessity standpoint, it is really important that we coordinate what is going on....You can't get things done unless you include everyone who is responsible for their pieces. [I]t's driven from one central process that knows what issues the patient is going to face...."
Coordinated care models instill confidence in the patients, Wallace says. "I certainly believe that when the patient sees that collaboration take place they have greater confidence in...both the system that is the delivery model and also in the prosthetic system, what components they are going to receive."
Indeed, the benefits of coordinated care also extend to the healthcare team as well. They are better informed about the patient's needs, comorbidities, and ancillary care. "We definitely have the advantage to have more than one practitioner in the room if we need it," Wallace says. "So if we get a complex case, and this happens very routinely here, we may bring two or three or four of us in the room to discuss what is going on. I think it is a great experience for the patient. And it really is good for us because we are cross-pollinating our education with each other."
"[I]f there are other needs of that patient, you are not just focused on your little silo, where I am just looking at putting this prosthesis on this person and getting them out the door and sending them to the next medical practitioner," Logan adds. "I think it makes us better clinicians, too, because we constantly have to work with our coworkers from other fields, from other areas of expertise, and we have to be familiar with their areas and they need to be familiar with ours, so we have to communicate.... [I]t takes away the tunnel vision."

Q: JQuery mousedown issue What I am trying to achieve is changing the way a player moves in a JQuery game.
Rather than a keypress I am trying to get the player to move if they click/mousedown on text, with id "left".
Original code is as follows.
            if(jQuery.gameQuery.keyTracker[65]){ //this is left! (a)
                var nextpos = parseInt($("#player").css("left"))-5;
                if(nextpos > 0){
                    $("#player").css("left", ""+nextpos+"px");
                }
            }

My code is as follows, and when I play, it just continuously moves the player left without me pressing anything. It shouldn't move left until I click or mousedown on the "left" id text.
            if ($('#left').mousedown){
                var nextpos = parseInt($("#player").css("left"))-5;
                if(nextpos > 0){
                    $("#player").css("left", ""+nextpos+"px");
                }
            }

A: This:
if ($('#left').mousedown){

will always be true. You're checking if $() has a mousedown property and it always will because all jQuery objects have a mousedown method. You probably want to bind a mousedown event handler:
$('#left').mousedown(function(e) {
    //...
});

BOSTES honours diocesan teacher
Andrew Cornwall has become one of the first teachers in NSW and the first in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle to be recognised by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) for the demonstration of excellence amid rigorous national standards.
Amanda Skehan Alyssa Faith PUBLISHED August 22, 2016
Andrew, who currently works as an Education Officer (Learning Technologies) at the Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle, was one of 151 teachers from across NSW public, Catholic and independent schools to receive a medal recognising achievement of the highest levels of accreditation in a ceremony in Sydney on 11 July.
A voluntary initiative, National certification supports teachers to explore and reflect on their practice at the Highly Accomplished and Lead career stage of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
"This was an excellent opportunity to reflect on my practice and purpose in education," said Mr Cornwall.
"I discovered things about my own teaching that I wasn't aware of and found gaps that I needed to develop further."
BOSTES Highly Accomplished or Lead Teacher Accreditation involves a comprehensive application process, which requires teachers to submit multiple sources of evidence to support:
an exceptional knowledge of their subject;
modelling of highly effective, evidence based teaching strategies;
informal or formal leadership roles and outcomes within and beyond their school; and
successfully initiating opportunities for parents to engage in their children's learning.
Andrew looks forward to sharing his learnings with colleagues across the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.

LISTEN: The BBC explains why 'Ding Dong' Thatcher song made number 2

A 1930s SONG which has been reborn as an anthem celebrating the death of Margaret Thatcher has made it to number 2 in the official UK singles chart.
'Ding! Dong! The Witch is Dead', from the 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', failed in its attempt to get to number one – but did push its way into the top end of the chart, forcing the BBC to address it in the weekly broadcast of the latest singles chart.
The broadcaster had opted against playing the full song – even though it is only 51 seconds long – hoping not to inflame tensions between supporters and opponents of Thatcher, the former prime minister who died last Monday aged 87.
However, it did play an excerpt from the song as part of a brief news clip explaining Thatcher and her deeply divisive legacy.

Before World War II, almost all of the glass ornaments on American Christmas trees were imported from Germany.
It was a German immigrant, Max Eckardt, who realized that the war could interrupt his Christmas ornament import business. So in 1937, Eckardt and Bill Thompson, a store manager for F. W. Woolworth – who promised to place a huge order, convinced the Corning Glass Company to produce machine-blown glass balls. It was a simple step for Corning to convert a glass ribbon machine, previously used to make light bulbs, to one that now made clear glass ornaments.
Thompson was true to his word, and in the December of 1939, nearly 250,000 American-made ornaments filled Woolworth's stores across the country.
With a price point of just a few cents each, they were an immediate success with American holiday shoppers.
The Corning company didn't decorate the balls in the beginning, when a majority of their factory production was still light bulbs.
The clear globes were shipped in large quantities to Eckardt's decorating plant in New Jersey. There they were silvered, sprayed inside with silver nitrate, and lacquered to give them a shiny and brite appearance. Starting with simple silver, the ornaments were eventually produced in a large variety of colors; classic red (the most popular ornament color in the 1940s), green, gold, and even pink and blue.
Any exterior stripes, or sometimes flowers, were painted on by hand.
The corning factories produced glass ornaments, or "blanks" as they called them, for several other U.S. Christmas ornament companies too; like Colby and Premier. Because they were all the exact same shapes and sizes it was up to the individual companies to decorate them.
Designs could be produced faster with stencils, unlike German and Polish ornaments which were always hand-painted, American Shiny Brites were quickly embellished with icicles, flowers, celestial images, nursery rhymes, nativity scenes and even holiday greetings…….
Simple balls were the only ornaments available in 1940, and the following year production jumped to nearly 300,000 ornaments a day. (A typical German glassblower could only produce about 600 a day).
Interestingly, the history of the Shiny Brite ornament was directly impacted by wartime America.
During the war, silver nitrate was considered a "nonessential" use of silver and the balls were left clear. Sometimes the glass was tinted colors, or a piece of tinsel inserted, but they usually just had hand-painted stripes on the outside.
Metal caps and rings were standard with early Shiny Brites, but during the war, these caps were replaced with a cardboard tab for a string to hang the ornament. Transparent bulbs with cardboard caps are considered the Holy Grail for vintage Shiny Brite ornament collectors.
All un-silvered ornaments aren't necessarily war-time. The company continued to produce them well into the 1950s. So look for that paper cap to be sure of the age.
When the war finally ended in 1945, metal restrictions receded. Shiny Brite ornament could be silvered again and topped with the now-iconic crinkled metal cap stamped with the words "Shiny Brite Made in U.S.A.".
Because they remained affordable for 1950's families, a boxed set of a dozen sold for about 60 cents, these American-made ornaments flourished. At their peak, they were produced out of four separate New Jersey factories.
Here's a few 1950's catalog pages with Shiny Brites…….. and a few of their plastic rivals.
In the early 60s, the increased popularity of artificial trees seemed to coincide with the need for cheap, unbreakable plastic ornaments to decorate them with.
The Shiny Brite company closed its doors in 1962.
American Christmas company Poloron bought the Shiny Brite name, and Corning continued to make blanks for them, well into the 1980s. But quality changed. Designs were shrink wrapped onto the balls, neon glitters used, and some ornaments were made of glow in the dark plastic. Many collectors consider this to be the low point of the Shiny Brite name.
Mr Radko purchased the name in 1998 and brought the beauty back to Shiny Brites.
It's still VERY likely to find complete boxes of the vintage glass gems at garage/yard sales, but eBay and Etsy are both excellent sources for sourcing them year round…….like I do.
Luckily for any collector, Shiny Brites were sold in divided cardboard boxes that held up pretty well over the years.
One of my favorite things about the box is the image of Santa shaking hands with Uncle Sam, emphasizing the fact that they were indeed American Made.
Just brilliant. I'm pretty certain the German-made ornaments didn't have that on their box.
I'm not really sure when my vintage glass ornament obsession started.
I think it was the bag of old glass ornaments that I found at a thrift store about 25 years ago. They looked like aged pastel metals to me. One of them was adorned with a hand-painted log cabin with mica smoke rising from the tiny chimney.
…….but I can still pick out that first one I found every year.

Farinsocker eller farin är en brun eller gulbrun sockerblandning bestående av sockerkristaller och mörkbrun rörsockersirap. Farinsocker är inte lika väl raffinerat som vanligt vitt socker och därför inte heller lika sött. Den lite kryddiga smaken används ofta i kakrecept och desserter och även i vissa varmrätter. Farinsocker används också som krydda i såser och marinader. Svenskt farin är vanligtvis behandlat med maltodextrin för att göra det enklare att strö. Farinsocker är även en viktig ingrediens i äggtoddy och Irish Coffee. Muscovadosocker är en särskild typ av farinsocker.

Historia
Förr tillverkades i Sverige både vit, gul och brun farin. Ett äldre namn för farin är bastard. Vanliga användningsområde var gul farin till pepparkakor och brun farin till kålsoppa och kåldolmar.

Etymologi
Ordet farin kommer av latinets farina, vilket betyder mjöl (jämför franskans farine - mjöl).

«Аудаче» () — ескадрений міноносець ВМС Італії типу «Аудаче».

Історія створення
Ескадрений міноносець «Аудаче» був закладений у квітні 1912 року на верфі «Orlando» у Ліворно. Спущений на воду 4 травня 1913 року, вступив у стрій у травні 1914 року.

Історія служби
Після вступу Італії у Першу світову війну есмінець «Аудаче» разом з «Анімозо», «Арденте», «Ардіто» та «Франческо Нулло» був включений до складу I ескадри есмінців, яка базувалась у Бріндізі. Командував кораблем капітан III рангу Канту ().

У день вступу Італії у війну «Аудаче», «Ардіто» та «Анімозо» брали участь у протичовновій операції біля албанського узбережжя і біля Котора.

9 червня 1915 року есмінці «Аудаче»,  «Інтрепідо», «Імпетуозо», «Іррек'єто», «Інсідіозо», «Ардіто», «Анімозо», і крейсер-скаут «Куарто» супроводжували крейсери «Джузеппе Гарібальді» і «Веттор Пізані», здійснюючи обстріли албанського узбережжя.

11 липня есмінці «Аудаче», «Ардіто», «Анімозо», «Страле», крейсери «Куарто», «Марсала», допоміжний крейсер «Чітта ді Палермо» та міноносці «Кліо», «Кассіопея», «Калліопе», «Айроне», «Арпіа» провели десантну операцію на острові Пелагроса.

13 червня 1916 року «Аудаче» (під командуванням капітана II ранку П'яцца), разом з есмінцями «Піладе Брондзетті», «Розоліно Піло», «Антоніо Мосто» та двох міноносців прикривав безуспішну атаку торпедних човнів проти порту Сан Джованні ді Медуа на албанському узбережжі.
Есмінці обстріляли порт, проте не завдали йому значних пошкоджень.

25 червня «Аудаче», «Інсідіозо», «Імпавідо», «Іррек'єто» та «Марсала» прикривали атаку торпедних човнів проти Дураццо, внаслідок якої був важко пошкоджений пароплав «Сараєво».

У ніч з 29 на 30 серпня 1916 року «Аудаче», який супроводжував пароплав «Бразіле» на переході з Таранто до Салонік, зіткнувся з ним та затонув в Іонічному морі.

Рештки корабля були виявлені у 2007 році на глибині 110-120 м.

In Colombia, FSD advises the national Mine Action Centre (OACP-Descontamina Colombia) on the implementation of an effective Mine Action strategy. A project for the socio-economic reintegration of mine victims by installing urban vegetable gardens is also being implemented.
FSD experts providing support to the Colombian government on mine detection dogs (Colombia, 2019)
Almost six decades of civil war have left Colombia littered with improvised mines and unexploded ordnance.
In 2015, as part of the peace negotiations, the government and the FARC armed group reached a ceasefire agreement. This agreement helped to contribute to the development of a national mine action strategy.
Significant efforts have since been made with several thousand deminers deployed throughout the country. The goal is now for the country to be completely free of mines by 2025.
To achieve this objective, many challenges still have to be overcome, particularly in relation to the topography and vegetation in contaminated areas, and due to persistent insecurity.
Improvised mines are still used by the remaining armed groups to protect coca plantations. In 2020, 167 mine victims were recorded in the country.
We worked with local authorities on a regulation to limit the environmental impact of demining activities in the Amazonian forest.
Sandra Sguerra
FSD Environmental Advisor in Colombia
Since 2016, a team of FSD experts advises the Colombian mine action authority in various technical fields.
This includes advice on the overall process of land release, clearance task prioritization, technical standards and procedures, information management and protection of the environment, particularly in national parks.
Mine victim assistane
In 2022, FSD set up a project for the socio-economic reintegration of mine accident survivors through the introduction of urban vegetable gardens.
FSD provides the necessary equipment, accompanies the installation of hydroponic structures on the balconies of the beneficiaries and trains them to grow various vegetables and herbs so that they can sell them in markets and restaurants in the area.
FSD in Colombia
Given the complex political and conflict history in Colombia, the importance of land release is paramount. A large part of this process involves the clearance of the land of mines and explosive hazards. In this context, FSD provides expert advice to the Colombian national mine action authority, the OACP – Descontamina Colombia.
Since 2016, FSD has provided technical experts to advise and mentor the Colombian national mine action authority. Our experts are specialized in: mapping, information management, demining strategy, explosive ordnance clearance, mine detection dogs and mechanical demining.
FSD's team also provide input and advice to the OACP – Descontamina Colombia in the development of national standards in accordance with international standards and adapted to the Colombian context.
FSD contributes to protecting the Amazonian forest from the possible negative impacts of mine clearance. The organisation participated in the development and adoption, in 2017, of a law aimed at reducing the environmental impact of humanitarian demining operations, in particular in natural parks.
The number of mine victims in Colombia remains very high. In addition to injuries and amputations, multiple operations and rehabilitation, in most cases, survivors find themselves unemployed, isolated and sometimes perceived as a burden by society. To address this, FSD launched a socio-economic reintegration project in 2022 in the form of urban vegetable gardens. This was undertaken in coordination with the Colombian government's Victims Unit and the local NGO SEREZA.
In 2021, our deminers have cleared 8,5km², an area equivalent to half of Geneva. This work require a constant concentration in conditions sometimes extremes.

Until recently, carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon nanofibers had nothing in common except carbon. But now science has brought them together for the first time. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities such as burning fossil fuels. Carbon nanofibers are one of the wonders of modern science, tiny fibers with a diameter so small they make a human hair look huge by comparison.
Solving two problems at once is one of the great joys of science. Until now, removing carbon dioxide from the air and manufacturing carbon nanofibers were both very expensive. But new research funded primarily by the National Science Foundation is changing all that. A research team led by Dr. Stuart Licht at George Washington University has found an inexpensive, energy-efficient chemical process to trap atmospheric carbon dioxide and use it to produce high-yield carbon nanofibers. This could convert carbon dioxide from a climate change problem into a valuable commodity.
The team has developed a chemical process which turns CO2 into nanofibers without expending much energy, because the entire process is powered by solar energy. The chemical process involves trapping the carbon dioxide in molten bath of electrolytes in which steel and nickel electrodes are immersed. The carbon dioxide breaks down and the nanofibers form on the steel electrodes when the molten bath is subjected to heat and an electrical current.
Solar power is applied to a pair of electrodes immersed in a mixture of molten lithium carbonate and lithium oxide. When air is pumped into the mixture, carbon dioxide from the air interacts with the lithium oxide and produces carbon nanofibers, oxygen, and more lithium carbonate. At the present time, the process has only been done on a small scale in the lab, but that is part of the normal process of developing a new technology. The next step is to increase the volume of air processed in order to make the process commercially viable.
But, the development cycle of this new process isn't all that different from the development of the cell phone and the cell phone towers needed to support the cell phones. Prior to 1973, there were no cell phones and no cell phone towers. When Motorola introduced the first cell phone in 1973, it was an analog device that was big and heavy. You could only use it for 30 minutes before it had to be recharged, and recharging took ten hours. Twenty years later digital cell phones were introduced and the cell phone market expanded exponentially. Now cellphones are everywhere and people use them constantly.
Carbon nanofibers are incredibly strong and durable, and they have myriad uses. Nanofibers have been used to stimulate the production of new cartilage in damaged joints. By using Carbon nanofibers researchers have also developed an elastic balloon-like material that is inserted into a sick person's body next to diseased tissue, and then inflated. When the balloon-like material inflates the carbon nanofibers penetrate the nearby diseased cells and deliver therapeutic drugs directly to the part of the body that needs them.
Scientists at MIT used carbon nanofibers to create lithium ion battery electrodes with four times the storage capacity of current lithium ion batteries. Scientists at Stanford are working on the development of lithium sulfur batteries which have even more storage capacity. Other researchers are using nanofibers to make sensors that change color when they are exposed to chemical vapors. These sensors will give a visual indication that the person wearing the sensor has been exposed to dangerous chemicals, and how much exposure they have had.
There are piezoelectric nanofibers that are flexible enough to be woven into clothing. These fibers turn normal motion into enough electricity to power a cell phone and other mobile electronic devices. You'll be able to talk while you walk and not have to worry about recharging your phone. Flame retardant furniture has also been developed by coating the foam used in the furniture with carbon nanofibers.

ANAMBRA ELECTION: 11 PARTIES DRAG SOLUDO TO ELECTION TRIBUNAL
Eleven Political parties and their candidates have filed petitions challenging the victory of the candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Professor Charles Soludo in the November 6 governorship election at the Anambra governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Awka.
The petitioners were able to beat the deadline of 21 days as stipulated by the Electoral Act. Secretary of the tribunal, Mr. Surajo Gusau said the political parties filed the petitions between Monday and Tuesday at a time there were no signs that some of the candidates who contested the election would challenge its outcome at the election petition tribunal.
Those whose petitions are with the tribunal include Senator Andy Uba of the All Progressive Congress (APC) who is calling for a declaration that he won majority of the valid votes cast in the said election, the Action Democratic Party (ADP) and its candidate, Prince Adam Ume-Ezeoke who prayed the tribunal to nullify the election on the grounds that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, used in the election is not contained in the Electoral Act and that the malfunctioning of BVAS disenfranchised over ninety percent of the registered voters.
Also the candidate of the Accord (A), Dr Godwin Maduka and his party called for the nullification of the election on the ground of irregularities, while the United Patriots, UP, petitioned the tribunal on the grounds of wrongful exclusion of the party's name from the ballot and called for the nullification of the election. Other parties that filed petitions include the Green Party and the Action People's Party APP.
The three-man panel of tribunal Judges are expected to arrive Anambra State early next week to begin sitting.
Speaking on the development in Awka, the Special Adviser to Governor Wille Obiano on Political Matters, Chief Ifeatu Obiokoye said his party, APGA, was not losing sleep over the petitions.
"We shall take it as it comes and we are not losing sleep over those petitions. We do not lose sight of the game plan of a particular party and its candidate who is sponsoring some lesser political parties to go to tribunal and later withdraw from the suits and collapse into their benefactor at the end of the day. Our party, APGA, won the election and we are prepared to defend our mandate at the tribunal," he said.

Getting there: Bus: Coniston Rambler 505 from Ambleside to Coniston or via the Cross Lakes Experience from Bowness. Car: A593 from Ambleside to Coniston. Take the left turn past the garage signposted Lake Road.
Walk back up Lake Road along the smooth, stone footpath on the left. Cross the bridge and go through the business units to a double kissing gate, wide enough for wheelchairs and pushchairs. A good track leads to more gates and Coniston Hall Farm - have a look at the huge chimneys.
Follow the tarmac road around the campsite pole barrier and head south through another gateway. After a second left turn, there is a small copse of trees on the right and you approach a wicket gate, giving access to the shore. Over the lake are the wooded slopes of Grizedale Forest and the imposing house is Brantwood, home of John Ruskin, the eminent Victorian writer, artist and social reformer. Look back to see Coniston Old Man towering over the village.
Go through a double kissing gate and cross a footbridge to Hoathwaite. The route follows a track inland and bears left to two gates and into Torver Common Wood. After 500 metres, cross the footbridge to Torver jetty, where you can take a boat back to Coniston.

Amid the resistance to Trump's agenda, a socialist movement is growing for the first time in half a century. Over the last two years, we have come face to face with every question that the system poses for those who want a better world: How do we confront the growing far right? How do we end sexual violence? How do we organize against all forms of racism and oppression? How do strikes win and how do they spread? How do we organize to push aside the existing world order so that we can build a society based on human need instead of one propped up by exploitation and oppression?
We think that a full transformation of the brutal capitalist system we live in can only come from a revolution from below that involves the vast majority of people. The strikes, protests and courage on display this last year have confirmed the role that ordinary people can and will play in charting a way forward. Join socialists and activists from across the Pacific Northwest to dig into Marxist theory, history and practice that can help us make sense of the questions we face and develop strategies for changing the world.

Gold Star Families Memorial Monument raising funds
Danny McArthur | Daily Journal
TUPELO American Legion Post 49 is seeking donations to build a monument to honor fallen soldiers.
The group is raising funds to build a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument at Veterans Park in Tupelo. Gold Star Families are those with active military members who have died in service. The designation refers to the tradition of families of active service members displaying flags featuring a blue star to show they have a loved one in harm's way. The color changes to gold for service members lost during their service.
"They sacrificed a lot, and we do a lot to honor and remember the service members that served and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice," said Michael Pettigrew, commander of American Legion Post 49. "The families that lost a direct loved one do suffer quite tremendously, and we feel they should be honored with a monument here in Veterans Park."
The effort is supported by the Woody Williams Foundation, a national nonprofit organization named after Medal of Honor recipient Hershel "Woody" Williams that seeks to raise awareness for Gold Star Families. Part of the group's efforts include fostering the creation of Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments. Currently, there are 86 such monuments installed and 76 in progress across 50 states and one U.S. territory. The Tupelo monument would be Mississippi's third.
The Tupelo initiative started with Donna Bagwell of Pontotoc in 2017, whose son, USMC Lance Corporal Lucas Tucker, died in Iraq in 2005. During the initial effort, the Tupelo Veterans Council approved the monument and its placement. The council is now raising the rest of the funds needed to build the monument. The city has agreed to do site preparation, Pettigrew said.
"That reduced the amount of money that we had to raise, so we're very appreciative of that," Pettigrew said.
Though there is no specific timeline for the project, Pettigrew said the earliest it could be ready is spring. The group wants to schedule and host a dedication ceremony for when Hershel Williams can attend.
The monument will cost $60,000 to build, with a third of that cost needed to begin the process. The project has already raised $10,000, with the goal to raise an additional $10,000 to $15,000 by September.
American Legion Post 49 has already reached out to all the veteran organizations throughout the region to help raise funds. They are also reaching out to the community to contribute towards the effort.
"My goal is to have all the money required for the monument pledged by the end of this month, with the amount that we need on hand to actually order the granite, one-third of the total amount. That's my first milestone," Pettigrew said.


WOOSTER -- There had been a lot of hope swelling in Wayne County that the oil and gas development east of here would migrate this way. In the summer of 2012, Devon Energy Production became the first major player to secure a permit to drill a horizontal, hydraulic-fractured well in the county. However, the results were not what was expected, and the company pulled out.
Though the play is not here now, Wayne Economic Development Council President Rod Crider and Project Manager Shawn Starlin have continued to work with local companies who are providing products to gas and oil producers.
The latest project involved Pride of the Hills Manufacturing Wooster, formerly TRING Corp. The Wooster-area manufacturer joined with Pride of the Hills, Killbuck, and it is undergoing an expansion with nearly $3 million invested in new equipment.
Much of the growth Pride of the Hills is seeing in Holmes County is being driven by the gas and oil business. The company manufactures gas production units, and Dan Oliver said Pride of the Hills' technology will be able to help producers who engage in hydraulic fracturing to save money. The gas production units separate gas, oil, sand and water, and it reduces the pressure of the gas coming out of the ground.
Because it separates the gas, drillers will be able to use the gas to power the engines that drive the fracking process.
"The gas is theirs; they pay for diesel" to operate the engines," Oliver said.
WEDC also worked with Bob Gralinksi, general manager for Scot Industries, on an expansion project earlier in 2013. The company received certification from the American Petroleum Institute to capitalize on opportunities to work with supply companies and provide them with heat-treated pipes.
Another project was with Wooster Tool & Supply, a Westerman company. The company manufactures gas and oil separation tanks and gas production units that are used by companies drilling for gas and oil in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. The expansion was due to the expected continued growth of oil and gas drilling in Ohio.

Pritam Rani Siwach (born 2 October 1974) is a former captain of the Indian women's hockey team. In 2008, she was recalled to join the team for the Olympic qualifiers in order to bring an "additional wealth of experience." After the team did not qualify for the Olympics, Siwach stated in an interview, "We are not that bad as the results would show. It was simply a case of missed chances [...] One difference between my times and now is the midfield. We had an experienced midfield with Sita Gussain at the centre. That helped us. Here, both T. H. Ranjita and Rosalind Ralte are young, just come into the team. They are potential youngsters, will only improve."

She last played with the team when it won the Gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. She currently runs an academy and is training to become a coach.

Siwach received an Arjuna Award in 1998.

Career
Pritam was born in village Jharsa, near Gurgaon, Haryana, and started playing hockey at the age of 9. She had developed her hockey in the guidance of PTI Master Tara Chand in the school of Jharsa. Master Tara Chand and Head master Raghwendra Singh Yadav has helped her to become a best player of Hockey.

Pritam Rani Siwach is now Coach with Indian Women Hockey team for World Cup and Commonwealth Games.

Telegatto
TV Sorrisi e Canzoni: announcing the new Telegatto
The entertainment world's favourite award evolves with a contemporary look, becoming a "green" artwork designed by Cracking Art
The first Telegatto awarded to Vasco Rossi
Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni, the Mondadori Group's flagship entertainment brand, has launched the new Telegatto, the stars' favourite award, which, for the magazine's 70th anniversary, evolves with a contemporary look as a green artwork.
With the new completely restyled and sustainable Telegatto, Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni is looking to the future, taking a new approach to celebrate the talent of artistes and enhance the prestige of an award that has become an integral part of the history of Italian entertainment.
The exclusives statuettes, in blue, yellow and fuchsia pink, were designed by Cracking Art, a well-known artistic movement that has created urban installations all over the world. Each piece is made of recycled materials and regenerated plastic, with a procedure that is unique in the world of art.
«We are delighted to present the new Telegatto to the readers of Sorrisi. Our famous statuette has been given a make-over, for a contemporary look in tune with the times. Its function has also changed: the criterion with which the Telegatto used to be assigned was based on a subdivision into categories and it was largely a competitive award. But the world has changed, as has the way entertainment is delivered with the arrival of social media, digital and streaming. At the same time the manner and timing of the presentation is changing: our new Telegatto will be presented on several different occasions during the year, as a recognition of the achievement of the recipient» says Aldo Vitali, editor of Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni.
The Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni awards will be given to the stars of television, music, cinema, and sport, as well as to the most representative personalities in modern entertainment, who for Sorrisi have become reference models for audiences of all ages.
The star who opened the age of the new Telegatto is Vasco Rossi, presented with the Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni award by editor Aldo Vitali as a symbol of Italian music returning to a new season of concerts in Italian stadiums. An artist who is a bridge between different generations of fans.
Vasco Rossi is the cover on this week's edition of Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni with an exclusive interview. Sorrisi is also putting up tickets for the artist's tour: simply register on the link https://sorrisi70.sorrisi.com/. All the videos on the award of the new Telegatto will be available on the social channels and on the website of Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni.
Palazzo Mondadori, where the editorial staff of Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni are based, was "invaded" by the new Telegatto for a day: the Cracking Art pieces were placed along the edge of the building created by Oscar Niemeyer for the launch of the initiative.
The new Telegatto underscores the continuous innovation that has always been a distinguishing feature of the DNA of Sorrisi, a brand that continues to win new generations of readers and users, thanks to its special relationship with the stars of the entertainment industry.
Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni is a multichannel system with an audience of 2.4 million readers (source: Audipress, 2021/III), 3.1 million users (source: Audiweb, January 2022) and more than 950,000 fans (source: Shareablee e Insight, March 2022). Its editorial offer comprises the magazine, Italy's best-selling and most widely read weekly publication, the website, social media and events.
The creative project was developed and organised by the Hunbranded agency.
