March 2017 News Bloopers Are a Cavalcade of Kooky
Staff Writer Published: April 3, 2017

March came in like a laugher...and went out the same way.
The month that was saw the usual hilarity when it came to bloopers. You know, these journalists work hard on their craft to bring their loyal viewers the most informative and necessary information, only to see it all go up in smoke.
From animals who take the segment off the script to slips of the tongue to weather that wreaks havoc, it's a reminder that you aren't the only who may have the occasional bad day at the office. You just have the good fortune not to have it play it in front of an audience of thousands, if not more, while a camera is rolling to record the moment for all of posterity.
Safe to say these snafus didn't make it onto the reels of these reporters. That's okay, though, because we have a permanent record of the hilarity.

Can I just tell you all how much I LOVE working with happy laid back couples? Because I do. Casey and Dan were so relaxed and happy and chill on their wedding day, and I adored it. Go outside to finish getting ready? No problem. Sit in the tall grass? Sure! Leave the reception for 10 minutes to get pictures in the glowing light? Of course! Flexibility and trust in your photographer and willingness to go the extra bit is what great pictures are made of. So I SO appreciated that about them! Thanks guys!
It was just an all around lovely day. The weather was warm, but their was a nice breeze and I didn't hear one complaint. Everyone just seemed so happy for these two! It was a gorgeous ceremony and a reception full of friends and community and happiness and hilarious speeches. Thank you so much Casey and Dan for including me in your day!
And another huge thank you to my dear friend and second photographer for the day, Jessica Sands... you are amazing as always. Some of her images are included above where noted.

AT&T offers GPS-enabled device for elderly - Mobile World Live
AT&T offers GPS-enabled device for elderly
AT&T has launched a GPS-enabled wearable device called Everthere for older users that will use the US operator's network to trigger an alarm should a user suffer a fall.
The operator quotes figures from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention which show one-third of adults over 65 in North America fall each year.
The GPS technology is to help first responders locate the user in the event of an accident. The operator also said the device can automatically tell when a fall occurs. However, it is not clear from the announcement how that would work.
The operator is offering two tariffs for the device. One is a 11-month contract costing $99, with a monthly service charge of $30. Alternatively, users can pay $200 upfront, have no contract and also pay $30 monthly.
AT&T is offering the device to consumers via its website but hopes to also distribute it via deals with insurance companies, healthcare providers, home health agencies and assisted living operators.

Medical historian compares today's outbreak to the 1918 flu pandemic

In less than nine months, the coronavirus has quickly spread to more than 33 million people across the globe, killing more than 1 million and becoming the third-leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer.
There is nothing in recent history that compares to a contagious crisis of this magnitude, according to historians who study infectious diseases and disasters. The H1N1 flu pandemic in 2009 infected an estimated 60.8 million people in its first year, but the virus wasn't nearly as severe as Covid-19, killing between 151,700 and 575,400 worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. MERS, another coronavirus that emerged in 2012, was much deadlier than Covid but significantly less infectious with only 2,494 reported cases.
Covid-19 is "a scary virus and definitely one that you do not want to get," said Howard Markel, a physician and medical historian at the University of Michigan. "It's a very dangerous, very crafty, stealthy virus."
The 1918 virus was also a "novel" virus, meaning it was brand new. Like Covid-19, no one had any immunity to it, and it was highly infectious, spreading through respiratory droplets that pass when an infected person coughed or sneezed.
Different symptoms
The viruses attacked the body in different ways. Covid-19 can be mild, sometimes causing no symptoms whatsoever, or severe — putting patients in hospitals and on ventilators for weeks and leaving them with lingering effects of fatigue and coughing for months. Covid-19 can also be unpredictable, stressing virtually every system in the body, including the heart, kidneys and brain.
The 1918 flu pandemic came in three waves, occurring in the spring of 1918, the fall of 1918; and the winter and spring of 1919, according to the CDC.
The 1918 flu killed 50 million people worldwide from 1918 through 1919, including 675,000 Americans, according to the CDC. It is estimated that one-third of the world's population became infected with the virus.
The first wave of the 1918 flu came with the usual flu symptoms: fever, nausea, body aches and diarrhea. The second wave was dramatically worse. It could set in suddenly, killing patients within days or even hours after symptoms began. The virus would cause their lungs to fill with fluid and the lack of oxygen would make their skin turn blue until they suffocated.
There also wasn't a vaccine for the 1918 flu, and, like Covid-19, the crisis was highly politicized in the United States.
"We were getting involved in World War I and it was a very patriotic effort. You know, the war to end all wars," Markel said. "They were sending off young men in parades. Women were left behind and starting Red Cross chapters and making bandages and all sorts of things, sending the men off in a proper way."
The pandemic became mixed in with the patriotic fervor, he said.
Like today, schools and businesses were closed and infected people were quarantined, according to influenzaarchive.org.
1918 mask mandates
"You told people to wash your hands, don't cough on people, stay at home, stay away from other people," he said. "It was the patriotic thing to do to not cough on people or stay home if you were sick."
But the thing that really drew public backlash were mask recommendations. As it turns out, resistance to wearing the face coverings isn't new. People during the 1918 pandemic called them dirt traps and some clipped holes so they could smoke cigars.
In Europe, the Italian Supreme Command asked residents not to fail their cities by not wearing a mask. Several U.S. cities implemented mandates, describing them as a symbol of "wartime patriotism." In San Francisco, Mayor James Rolph said, "conscience, patriotism and self-protection demand immediate and rigid compliance," according to influenzaarchive.org. But some people refused to comply or take them seriously, Markel said.
San Francisco residents considered masks a nuisance while others harbored resentment for being forced to wear them, he said. Some of them were arrested.
"One woman, a downtown attorney, argued to Mayor Rolph that the mask ordinance was 'absolutely unconstitutional' because it was not legally enacted, and that as a result, every police officer who had arrested a mask scofflaw was personally liable," according to influenzaarchive.org.
Pandemic news
The news in 1918 didn't flow as quickly as it does today with the internet and smartphones, but it also couldn't be manipulated as much as today and newspapers published at least six or seven editions a day back then, Markel said. State public health departments also held regular public press briefings, he added.
"If you wanted to partake on it, it was there," he said.

Some newspapers referred to the virus as the "Spanish flu," even though the first known case was reported at an army base in Kansas. Spain remained neutral throughout World War I and reported on the virus freely, giving the impression that the outbreak was bad there. Eventually, newspapers would just refer to it as "influenza" or the "influenza epidemic," Markel said.
Woodrow Wilson vs Donald Trump
Additionally, some reports have suggested that then-President Woodrow Wilson downplayed the virus, but that is a "wrong and a false trope of popular history," Markel said. Wilson, who would later contract the virus, was organizing and commanding the U.S. effort in World War I and once the war ended, he sailed for Paris, where he stayed until April of 1919 organizing a peace treaty and the League of Nations, Markel said.
"The federal government played a very small role in American public health during that era. It was primarily a city and state role and those agencies were hardly downplaying it," he said.
Unlike today, there was no CDC or national public health department. The Food and Drug Administration existed but consisted of a very small group of men. Additionally, there were no antibiotics, intensive care units, ventilators, IV fluids or vaccines. "You got a bed or maybe nursing care," Markel said.
But there was an epidemiologist much like Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who withstood criticism for publicly pressing for safety protocols, according to Forbes.
"At the center of public health efforts in both states was a practical, plainspoken, bespectacled scientist: Dr. Thomas Dyer Tuttle, who became a powerful, if polarizing, figure in the fight against the Spanish flu," according to Forbes.
Scientists hadn't even seen a virus under the microscope at that point, said Graham Mooney, a medical historian at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. They didn't have the technology and they knew almost nothing of virology, which was considered a nascent science because viruses are so small, he said. In fact, some scientists thought the 1918 virus was caused by a bacteria called Haemophilus influenzae, he said.
"Now we have a much greater capacity to create a preventative mechanism through immunizations and vaccinations," Mooney said.
Massive death toll
The 1918 virus also tended to kill differently than Covid-19, Mooney and Markel noted. With World War I, there was a massive movement of men across all of America and Europe. While the coronavirus can be especially severe for the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, the 1918 virus was unusual in that it killed many young adults, Markel said.
"Influenza generally has a U shaped mortality curve, meaning it looks like a U, but the tops of the U are the most deadly," Markel said. "But in 1918 it was a W shaped mortality curve and that upside-down part of the W, the V, was young people between ages 18 and 40 dying like flies. That was odd. That was not typical for previous flu pandemics or subsequent ones."
It's also important to consider population when talking about outbreaks or disasters, said Samantha Montano of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, who studies disasters. In 1918, the world population was much smaller with an estimated 1.8 billion people. Today, there are nearly 8 billion on the planet.
Mooney echoed those remarks, saying, "We're talking about a global population that is sort of smaller than it is now." He said the death toll from 1918 virus likely had a great impact on the workforce who were unable to work from home or remotely like we can today.
"You end up having major structural, economic and social readjustments when you have such a massive death toll like that," he said. "We have social welfare networks … people travel around the globe. We have different societies and economies."
Medical historians say the U.S. can learn from the 1918 virus.
"It is utterly earth-shaking what we've done in the last century alone," Markel said.

I have a hard time accepting compliments about my kid. Admittedly, I have struggled to accept compliments about myself, as well, but I am getting better at hearing and appreciating them. After all, I worked hard on that research project, so why not enjoy the praise? For the most part, however, I had nothing (or very little) to do with the things my son is complimented for, and I suspect such accolades are mostly social formalities, so the flattery makes me self-conscious.
When he was first born, a surprising number of people (family, friends, strangers, doctors, etc.) remarked that he was very alert and had a perfectly-shaped head (apparently, there aren't too many nice things to be said about a newborn). I would thank them, thinking that those features were at least partly the result of my epic childbirthing skills. As he's grown up, however, my son is most frequently complimented on his big eyes, strength, social skills, curiosity, and general adorableness. To some extent, these attributes are likely either inherited from my husband and/or me, or are the product of our engaged parenting. But in the event of the former (i.e. my son definitely got his eyes from me), I did nothing aside from contributing half of my son's DNA. As regards the latter (i.e. my husband and I have always encouraged our son to be active, which may have contributed to him rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and standing on the earlier end of the spectrum), there is no way to know what effect, if any, our efforts and example have had on our son.
I believe my son is an individual, with his own unique attributes and accomplishments. Even though my husband may have been the one to teach our son to wave, the baby does it enthusiastically, so he deserves credit for his friendliness to strangers. The outfits I dress him in may accentuate my son's cuteness, but it's his smile and charm that are most adorable.
When someone pays my son a compliment, I usually just agree. My husband, on the other hand, takes any comment about our son as an invitation to launch into a litany of his achievements. For some reason, when my husband takes credit for our son's best qualities, I see it as endearing evidence of his love for and pride in his son. By contrast, I am afraid I will come across as arrogant if I accept and join in admiration of my son.
I think people feel compelled to admire a baby, and since I have done nothing to earn their praise, I generally feel uncomfortable when faced with "kid-pliments." I honestly do not know how to respond. I am incredibly proud of my little man, but I am not sure how to express that without sounding boastful. I'd welcome ideas and advice from other parents . . .
I always sound boastful about my girls and always have ! If other people don't want to hear it, they should not have opened that door with a compliment. And if & when they grimace I'll know to stop.
I get what you mean. I never know what to say so I just smile and say thank you. Now you got me thinking.
It is a tough situation where you are proud of your offspring and feel the need to shout it from the roof top, whilst maintaining a level of dignity and humility.
Thanks for your thoughts! It definitely seems that there's a gender distinction here. Why don't us mamas feel we can be unashamedly publicaly proud of our kids?
It IS a mama thing, for sure. But not a grandma thing – I don't remember my mom ever singing my praises in public, but she will go on and on about her granddaughter!


Fort Lauderdale, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/27/2018 -- Held on January 28th on major network television, the 60th annual Grammy Awards reached nearly 20 million viewers around the world. The Ferrofish A32 AD/DA digital converter played a key role in the success of the evening's multiple live performances, which included high profile artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Gary Clark, Jr., Lady Gaga, Kesha and the night's big winner Bruno Mars.
Grammy Digital Source Mixer Anthony Lalumia selected the Ferrofish A32 primarily for its reliability. Lalumia fed the A32 from his ProTools interfaces via a MADI auto-switcher. The A32 was fed coaxial and optical MADI streams (for redundancy), and the unit's analog output was split to five consoles with five different engineers mixing at different positions in the show.
"The A32 is the final step in the chain which means it's constantly passing audio," said Lalumia, who has also worked on similar live award shows including MTV's Video Music Awards. "With so much going on, it's something I shouldn't have to think about. I just need it to work 10 times out of 10."
With nearly 20 live performances to manage during this year's Grammys, Lalumia was responsible for compiling the musical acts' individual tracks so they could be played back from a single system as opposed to each act bringing their own systems.
"A lot of the work is on the front end because we're having to compile all of that and be in communication with many different people. New files are coming in through rehearsals and it's our job to put them together and be sure they are the correct format for the show," Lalumia said. "It's a high-pressure job so I need my rigs to be fully redundant. Since the A32 is ultimately the last point before all the tracks are sent out, it's a pretty critical piece that has to sound totally transparent for me — and the A32 delivers each time."
A show of such caliber and structure requires the ultimate in audio transparency. And with nearly half of this year's Grammy performances coming in the form of collaborations, seamless AD/DA conversion was crucial.
"We are dealing with on-air performances and backing tracks that we are getting from many different sources," Lalumia explained. "The A32's AD/DA conversion is really transparent. Literally what I play out of my systems into that machine is exactly what comes out. There is no coloration whatsoever, and that's a huge deal for me."
For live shows like the Grammys, space is at premium. Lalumia, who has been working as a ProTools engineer over a decade, said Ferrofish A32's 1U rack mountable size was the perfect option for the Grammys where equipment logistics was a big factor.
"Having 32 inputs or outputs with conversion to MADI or any format I need in a single-rack space is big plus," Lalumia said. "I didn't have a lot of space in my world during the Grammys, so to have a really small form factor in my systems was a huge selling point for me."
Being able to control the unit from the front panel added to the A32's ease of use for Lalumia when setting up the unit and setting input and output gains quickly.
"The Ferrofish A32's visual feedback of all the inputs and outputs is more in depth than any other converter on the market," Lalumia said. "Being able to monitor directly from the face of the unit gives me the confidence that the outputs are going to the correct places."
"I'll typically power one of the power supplies off a UPS battery back up and the second one from separate AC power," Lalumia said. "The dual supply on the A32 gives you the confidence that even if the UPS fails, you'll have that second power supply plugged into AC power which is paramount."
Known for its precision-engineered German technology, Ferrofish manufacturers high quality, innovative advanced audio applications. From its class-leading A16 MK-II and A32 AD/DA converters to its Verto Series of intuitive Dante converters, Ferrofish is known for its premium conversion solutions that are ideal for a wide range of applications.

Proms 2010: Jonathan Dove – A Song of Joys (World Première)
i think Tom Service put it best, a few years ago, when he described the Last Night of the Proms as a "calcified cadaver". It is, there's no question: beneath the merriment and the klaxons lies an occasion that died many, many years ago; it's a concert in aspic, filled with a misfitted agglomeration of works that culminate in a trio of singalongs which have at least made the transition from jingoistic anthems to party favourites. It's almost as bad as Choral Evensong, for goodness' sake. Anyway, turning away from such blatant party poopery for a moment, it does at least promise something new each year, and last night the opportunity fell to housewives' favourite, Jonathan Dove, whose A Song of Joys was given its first performance, starting the concert.
Dove has turned to that most ambitious of poets Walt Whitman for his text, lines from the poem whose title Dove has borrowed for his own. And it's a big text; the scope of Whitman's vision is akin to that of Psalm 8, conjuring a vista of creation from the vantage point of song. Such epic scope as this makes it all the more disappointing that Dove's response to the text is so simple and unimaginative. Dove probably wasn't allowed longer than his 5-minute duration, but did he really have to move through the text in such a perfunctory way? One phrase dutifully follows another, never really bringing alive the words or tapping into their vision, still less presenting one of Dove's own. It's all terribly functional: loud and light, with lots of big tunes—but not a hint of the genuine, deep excitement from which Whitman's words no doubt sprang. In fact, the choral evensong analogy remains apt; what Dove has composed is a secular but unavoidably John Rutter-esque anthem that would sit perfectly comfortably within an edition of Songs of Praise. So, was it suitable to start the Last Night of the Proms? with Tom Service's description of the occasion foremost in mind: yes, absolutely.
Which brings to a fizzling end the series of premières at this year's Proms. According to the statistics, based on which of these articles you, the readers of 5:4, have been pointing your browsers, the work that by far generated most interest this year was the London première of Cornelius Cardew's Bun No. 1; no doubt due in part to the rarity of performances of this fascinating, elusive piece. Personally, i wouldn't yet call it a favourite, but it's certainly growing on me. If i had to choose favourites from this year's premières, i'd pick James Dillon's La navette, Tansy Davies' Wild Card and Huw Watkins' Violin Concerto, all pieces that both tantalise on first experience and yield more and more on repeated listenings. But beyond the premières, the contemporary piece that struck me most forcefully this season was without doubt Luke Bedford's Or voit tout en aventure, one of the most exquisite pieces i've heard in a long time.
It seemed such a simple little idea, back in July, to review all the Proms premières on 5:4, but it turned out to be a more ambitious project than i realised. But equally—no, much more so—it's been a rewarding one; i've never enjoyed a Proms season better than this one, so i suspect this won't be the only year 5:4 fixes its attention on the Proms. Many thanks to everyone who's read these articles, downloaded the music, and written comments in reply (or rebuke)—that, too, makes the experience yet more interesting and enjoyable. Keep the comments coming (which was your favourite?), they're very much appreciated.

Q: waypoints pass a custom variable I need to pass a custom variable through loadFromWaypoints so that i can later use that variable in the GEvent.addListener. Any ideas?
Thanks!

A: You can use a createDelegate to manage your arguments.  And "arguments" is also an unspoken variable to access the function's arguments, even though you didn't assign a parameter to it.
Create Delegate
Although this is in the Sencha.EXTJS framework, most frameworks have a similar method.
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", myMethod.createDelegate(map, marker, true));

marker will be appended to the list of parameters.  I hope this gives you some ideas as to how this might work.

Opposition Blocks Traffic In Venezuelan Capital Caracas Venezuela's president is asking opposition leaders to join him in a peace conference on Wednesday. David Greene talks to reporter Girish Gupta in Caracas about the deadly anti-government protests.
Opposition Blocks Traffic In Venezuelan Capital Caracas
February 25, 20145:00 AM ET
Venezuela's president is asking opposition leaders to join him in a peace conference on Wednesday. David Greene talks to reporter Girish Gupta in Caracas about the deadly anti-government protests.
This is MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene. Good morning.
Venezuela's president is asking opposition leaders to join him in a peace conference tomorrow. At least 13 people have died there in political street fighting over the past two weeks, and this morning, anti-government protesters are still blocking some of the capital's streets with burning trash.
Venezuela, we should say, has one of the world's worst rates of violent crime. Inflation is running at 56 percent, and stores are often out of basic staples such as milk and flour.
It is not clear who is going to come to the peace conference. One of the country's leading opposition figures is in prison, and another says it is just a publicity stunt by Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.
In a moment, we're going to hear from one of the protest movement's student leaders, but let's begin our coverage with reporter Girish Gupta, who's covering the story in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas.
Girish, good morning, and welcome back to the program.
GIRISH GUPTA: Good morning.
GREENE: So, give me a sense of what you're seeing on the streets. What do these protests look and sound like?
GUPTA: Well, we're seeing barricades all over Caracas. We're seeing the burning of trash on the streets, the banging of pots and pans, which is a traditional form of protest here. And this is waking people up quite early in the mornings and going on late into the night. Even late last night, there was teargas from authorities. There were people pelting authorities with stones, with petrol bombs. Now, this isn't seeming to go away. This has been going on for about two weeks now in Caracas, and all over the country for even longer. For three to four weeks in the West, where this began, we're seeing even bigger, somewhat more organic protests.
GREENE: Well, we know this country, Girish, is split between people who support the government socialist policies, and you have more affluent Venezuelans who don't support those socialist policies. I mean, who are the people who are on the streets and leading these protests and sustaining them, as you say?
GUPTA: Well, that's about right. I think some opposition supporters would say that it's not just the more affluent Venezuelans who don't support the government, but frankly, that's generally the case. And the battle for the opposition over the last few years has been to attract the poorer classes, those people who do traditionally support or did traditionally support the government of Hugo Chavez. However, I have to say that many people in the streets now just don't care. And that's what I meant when I said that these protests seem to be a bit more organic.
I speak to protestors here and across the country. They don't care about Henrique Capriles or Leopoldo Lopez, who is the guy you mentioned that was arrested and jailed last week for instigating the protest. They don't care about Maduro, even. They just want some change. They're tired of all the problems here, the economy, the crime. This country has one of the world's highest murder rates. Inflation, like you say, is up at 56 percent. They just don't care about traditional politics.
GREENE: You know, you're describing this economic mess, which makes me want to try and understand why this oil-rich country is in this situation. I mean, why isn't the oil money in Venezuela actually helping to make people better off?
GUPTA: Well, that is the big question here, and that's the question the opposition often poses to the government. OPEC says Venezuela has the world's highest oil reserves, yet they don't necessarily seem to be making Venezuelans rich themselves. You've also got social economic policies, such as currency controls and price controls, essentially devaluing people's money every single day.
GREENE: Well, where do you think this might be going? I think a lot of the eyes of the world were on Ukraine recently. We saw a president actually toppled during a protest movement. Is it possible that President Maduro and Venezuela's government could be collapsing?
GUPTA: Well, what surprised me, and I think many people here, is how long these protests have gone on for. It's been three to four weeks now, and they look to continue. I think many in the opposition yesterday would like to see the end of Maduro's government. They're not exactly sure what they want, but they do want something different.
However, it does also seem that the opposition doesn't have a coherent strategy to take power. There's no election coming up. So I don't necessarily think that Maduro's government will fall. However, we're seeing this talk of dialogue between Capriles and Madura recently. Now, I don't know how realistic that is. I mean, Madura calls the protestors Nazi-fascists. Capriles, in turn, used the word genocide to describe the actions of Maduro's government earlier this week. So it's difficult to see that negotiations will work, but it might be a starting point for maybe more moderate government here.
GREENE: All right. We've been speaking to reporter Girish Gupta, who is covering the protests in Venezuela. Girish, thank you so much.
GUPTA: Thank you.

Even quieter than their screw drive counterparts, belt drive openers are renowned for their speed and relatively silent operation. They are a little more expensive than the chain drive, but are certainly worth it for any homeowner that values smooth and quiet operation.
These are the most common types of openers out there, and for good reason. They are incredibly sturdy and less expensive than the other options. However, they tend to require regular adjustment or more frequent professional maintenance in order to maintain the quality of their operation. They also tend to be a little noisy.

Amazing and Blessed
Beth Volpert | Gwinnett Citizen Beth Volpert | Gwinnett Citizen
An interview with Aimee Copeland. One year ago, a father put a request for prayers for his daughter on Facebook. That simple request, made during a time of unimaginable stress, took off and brought prayers, blessings and concerns from all around the globe in a matter of hours.
Locally, in their home community of Snellville, GA, the Copeland family could not have known at the time what a phenomenal impact their daughter's injury and recovery would have on them and the whole of Gwinnett County.
The news of Aimee's injury and the frightening Necrotizing Fasciitis that eventually caused the amputation of all four of her limbs in varying degrees, became a worldwide story in a matter of a few days. The family was suddenly in the spotlight, and according to Andy Copeland, that was part of the path to Aimee's healing.
One year later, Aimee is driving herself to public speaking events and has graciously allowed herself to be the subject of study for how to live life to the fullest as an amputee.
"Before the accident," recalls Aimee, "I was working on my master's degree in psychology. When I finish with that, I want to go on to get my master's in social work." These degrees, combined with Aimee's love for nature and her desire to help others has brought her closer to her dream of bringing Wilderness Therapy to those who might not otherwise know the peace she has found to be an important missing part of traditional psychology. "I always knew that I wanted to be a therapist, but I had not identified the population I wanted to work with."
After her accident, it appeared to Aimee that the population who would be best served by her work would be those with disabilities. For many people with physical disabilities, the experience of nature is not easy.
"Ecopsychology" is a growing trend in therapeutic options and Aimee feels very strongly that she was meant to bring the experience to those who have mobility challenges.
While the details of her injury and recovery have brought her life into the spotlight, Aimee sees this as a blessing. "I am asked to speak at many events," says Aimee. "I can't get to all of them, but my dad is also speaking quite often and he does an amazing job." As a South Gwinnett graduate, Aimee was especially delighted to participate in the 2013 Gwinnett County Public Schools Middle School Special Olympics. She was honored to start the games with an enthusiastic, "Let the games begin!" alongside fellow graduate, Buck Lanford of Good Day Atlanta. "Aimee is just amazing," says Buck. "I am honored to be here today with her." The experience was a heartwarming homecoming for Aimee. "I am delighted to be able to inspire these very special Olympians," says Aimee. "I love to see them work so hard to reach their goals. It really was a moment of Comet Pride."
Reaching goals is of great importance to both Aimee and her family. It was a major theme in a speech given at The Salvation Army of Gwinnett's Annual Luncheon, "It Takes More than Hands to Make a Home". In his speech, Andy Copeland retold the story of how the community came together to welcome Aimee home as she recovered. It was a joyful story of hard work, faith and perseverance that Aimee confirmed in her remarks to the audience. "Without this experience, I might not have had the ability to have as much of an impact on others' with physical challenges," says Aimee. "Because of the accident, I am able to reach more people in a positive way."
Her ten-year goal is to open a practice of her own based on the principles she has studied regarding "Ecopsychology". Having watched her, in the press, on Facebook and in person, there is no doubt that when Aimee Copeland sets a goal, it will be reached. The path may be altered just slightly from the original plan, but the goals remain remarkably and faithfully intact.

Dazzling psychological suspense. Razor-sharp dialogue. Plots that catch and hold like a noose. These are the hallmarks of crime legend Ruth Rendell, "the best mystery writer in the English-speaking world" (Time magazine). From Doon with Death, now in a striking new paperback edition, is her classic debut novel—and the book that introduced one of the most popular sleuths of the twentieth century.
There is nothing extraordinary about Margaret Parsons, a timid housewife in the quiet town of Kingsmarkham, a woman devoted to her garden, her kitchen, her husband. Except that Margaret Parsons is dead, brutally strangled, her body abandoned in the nearby woods.
Who would kill someone with nothing to hide? Inspector Wexford, the formidable chief of police, feels baffled -- until he discovers Margaret's dark secret: a trove of rare books, each volume breathlessly inscribed by a passionate lover identified only as Doon. As Wexford delves deeper into both Mrs. Parsons' past and the wary community circling round her memory like wolves, the case builds with relentless momentum to a surprise finale as clever as it is blindsiding.
In From Doon with Death, Ruth Rendell instantly mastered the form that would become synonymous with her name. Chilling, richly characterized, and ingeniously constructed, this is psychological suspense at its very finest.
Praise for From Doon with Death
"One of the most remarkable novelists of her generation."—People
"She has transcended her genre by her remarkable imaginative power to explore and illuminate the dark corners of the human psyche."—P.D. James
