Home Premier League Everton Everton showing interest in striker, £35m fee touted
Everton showing interest in striker, £35m fee touted
Sean Hayes
Everton could be set to bring Michy Batshuayi to Goodison Park on deadline day, according to Sky Sports.
The Toffees could have a busy day ahead, as they look to tie up a deal for the Belgian international striker.
If Everton are to land Batshuayi, it would have to be a permanent deal though, with the fee believed to be in the region of £35million.
A temporary move to Merseyside is out of the question, due to Marco Silva already having Kurt Zouma on loan from Chelsea.
Everton fans have been calling for a striker to arrive at Goodison Park for some time now, as the club are yet to find a prolific replacement for Romelu Lukaku.
Batshuayi has only started six Premier League games for Chelsea, with the Toffees' target spending time out on loan with Borrusia Dortmund last season.
Everton would have to bring his current temporary deal with Valencia to an end if they are to land the 25-year-old's signature before the end of today.
During his time in Spain, Batshuayi has scored one league goal in 15 appearances, with only four of those coming as starts.
If Everton do bring the striker to Goodison Park, they will be hoping a prolonged run in the team could see him find the net on a more regular basis.
The Toffees are currently sat eighth in the Premier League, as they chase a spot in the Europe League for next season.
With an out and out goal scorer missing from their ranks, Everton may well complete this deal before the end of the day.

THE WAY, WAY BACK (Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, 2013)
Posted on March 19, 2014	by MoodyB
Starring: Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Sam Rockwell
Genre: Comedy/ Drama
Introverted 14 year old Duncan (Liam James) is forced to spend summer with his mother (Collette) and her boyfriend Trent (Carell) at Trent's summer home at a picturesque New England seaside resort. Struggling to fit in with the company of his mum, Trent and all of Trent's friends he takes a pink bike from the shed and cycles to be as far away from them as possible. One day he cycles to a water park that seems to be still stuck in the 80s and by chance befriends the manager, Owen (Rockwell). Under the wing of Owen he helps out at the summer park and finally finds the belonging that he has always craved, and with that, finally some self confidence.
Ever since the exceptional Little Miss Sunshine came out and won the hearts of audiences and got (thoroughly deserved) Oscar nominations it does seem that every slightly quirky indie film wants to emulate that film's success. So if that said film involves anyone that was involved in Little Miss Sunshine (whether it is producers or the bloody caterers) they make sure it is plastered all over the poster. Of course The Way Way Back even reunites Steve Carell and Toni Colette from Little Miss Sunshine in what could be argued as a cynical casting move. Naturally everyone looks very happy on the poster suggesting immediately the exact tone of the narrative. So far, everything looking very self aware and unoriginal, and maybe overrated considering the plethora of five star reviews The Way Way Back received on cinema release.
Well, though I would certainly argue that The Way Way Back has plenty of flaws and undoubtedly verges on self aware at times, it is still a genuinely enjoyable comedy/drama that cannot help but tug at all of our slightly nostalgic heartstrings. There are plenty of moments where suspension of disbelief is essential, as these moments are certainly very convenient in terms of the narrative and how they all work out together are often extremely coincidental (almost too much at times). However, thanks to some great performances and an exploration of some universal and familiar themes The Way Way Back is still a film with plenty of heart and subtle laughs.
It is certainly in the first third that The Way Way Back presents many warning signs and risks shooting itself in the foot. Kevin James performance and the script seem to overplay the misery and isolation that Duncan feels, descending into cliché which risks us losing any empathy with the film's protagonist. While all the seemingly immature adults around him seem more like convenient and slightly lazily written caricatures. However, as the narrative develops it almost feels that the film grows in confidence, giving us a much more rounded and natural feel to both the characters and story.
In terms of the cast, Steve Carell is effectively horrible playing against type, while Toni Collette gives an emotional performance once her character is allowed to actually develop. Likewise, once Duncan starts his arc and grows in confidence he emerges as a much richer and engaging protagonist and likewise Liam James' performance. However, the star of the show is without a doubt Sam Rockwell: Stealing every scene he is in, he not only gets the best comic lines but the film feels so much more fun when he is around, as well as providing the occasional raw emotion that the film occasionally relies on. The scenes involving Rockwell and his water park co-workers are by far the most fun, and of course that is the point, but they do emphasise how self aware and clichéd other scenes are such as scenes involving the other adults or Duncan's next door neighbour Susanna (AnnaSophia Robb) who he of course takes a fancy to.
As the narrative develops there may be very little surprises and though there still continue to be some slightly fantastical moments, there is no denying there is plenty of genuine heart to be found and so many of us will wish we had a friend like Sam Rockwell when we were socially awkward 14 year olds.
Though slightly flawed, self aware and most certainly not Little Miss Sunshine like it seems to want to be, after a somewhat contrived first third The Way Way Back emerges as an enjoyable, heartfelt and uplifting coming of age drama that will leave you with a nostalgic smile on your face.

Medicinal cannabis: Legalised yet impossible to access
It became lawful for the NHS to prescribe marijuana in November, yet as Harry Sumnall discovers, its impact has been felt by very few people
The Independent (UK)
On 1 November 2018, the UK changed the law on medicinal cannabis. Medicinal cannabis products were moved from schedule 1, meaning they have no medicinal value, to schedule 2, which allowed doctors to prescribe them under certain circumstances. This change to the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 was partly a response to a rapid evidence review by the chief medical officer, which concluded that some medicinal cannabis products were effective for some medical conditions, and partly due to formal advice from the government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs to change the schedule. Since the rescheduling, many NHS patients have been frustrated by what they see as a slow and bureaucratic system that has denied them access to cannabis treatments.

Heavy K's Fiancé Ntombi In A Process To Make It Big In Music. Following into the footsteps of her husband Heavy K but only as a vocalist Ntombi is sprinkling some diamonds to her journey of going big in the music.
The star has just released a new single Let Them Talk which was produced by hubby.
"The Let Them Talk single is Heavy K's song. I was only featured in it, but the reason behind the song was because people had so much to say about our relationship.
"This song was mainly directed to the people who had a lot of negativity to say about us, because we realised that we can only control so much and what people say about us unfortunately we cannot control, so we will just let them talk," she said.

Wicomico County Announces Rural Legacy Expansion
December 8, 2017 by webmaster No Comments
County Executive Bob Culver is pleased to announce that on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, the Maryland Board of Public Works approved the expansion of the Quantico Creek Rural Legacy Area in Wicomico County. The Board of Public Works, which includes Governor Larry Hogan, Comptroller Peter Franchot and Treasurer Nancy Kopp, voted unanimously to approve the expansion. This expansion includes areas over the paleochannel and lands along Rewastico Creek in western Wicomico County.
Executive Culver and the County Council recommended that the Rural Legacy Area be expanded to include these environmentally sensitive and important areas which will provide additional protection measures and opportunities. This will provide landowners in these areas a voluntary financial alternative to selling lots for development.
The paleochannel is a buried riverbed estimated to store approximately seven billion gallons of water. This resource currently provides potable water for the City of Salisbury and is an important future water supply for the citizens of the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County. Because of its vast potential as a source of drinking water, additional protective measures will help to ensure that the channel is protected from contamination resulting from environmentally incompatible land uses.
The Rural Legacy Program, established by the State of Maryland in 1997, is designed to preserve large tracts of productive agricultural, forested lands, natural and cultural resources through the purchase of conservation easements. Conservation easements protect the land for future generations while allowing owners to continue to use and live on their land.
The Quantico Creek Rural Legacy Area was established locally in the year 2000 and contained 14,687 acres of land. Over 4,000 acres of land have been protected through this program. This expansion will add an additional 21,131 acres to our Rural Legacy Area for a total of 35,818 acres. Wicomico County will seek additional funding from the State of Maryland in future years that can be used for the purchase of conservation easements.
The Rural Legacy Program is a voluntary participation program. Easements are sought from willing land owners in these areas in order to protect areas vulnerable to development.
If you would like to know more about the Quantico Creek Rural Legacy Program, please contact Frank McKenzie with the County Department of Planning & Zoning at 410-548-4860.

The Wicomico County Fair is a nonprofit with an all-volunteer board, and Evans is glad to bring in Wicomico County Recreation, Parks & Tourism's resources and staff.
"They are experts in event planning; they do a great job with community events, so we are going to take advantage of that and we're going to make a promise to continue providing comprehensive programming and building an event that will draw a large audience," Evans said.
Steve Miller, director of Wicomico County Recreation, Parks & Tourism, said at the news conference that Pork in the Park has been discontinued.
"We're redirecting those resources now to fully invest in the County Fair to continue to make this bigger and better for the citizens of our community," Miller said.

For the Love and Liberation of Black Childhood
I'm Not a Perfect Abolitionist, and I'm Okay With That
By Nina Monei
I believe in prison abolition. I am not a perfect abolitionist. I believe that it is not only ideal but essential to our survival as Black people that we defund police, close prisons, and implement practices within our communities that are divorced from carceral systems. And while I am still struggling with what that entails, what those outcomes will look like, and what non-carceral responses to violence and harm embody, I hold onto one thing- what it means to be Black right here and now, in the very carceral society we currently live in and not some distant future abolitionist utopia.
I've seen the Perfect Abolitionists' responses to calls to arrest the murderers of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade and too many other Black people killed by police who have received no justice. The Perfect Abolitionist says that believing in abolition means not supporting or advocating for police to be arrested and charged, which simply continues the perpetuation of carceral systems. The Perfect Abolitionist instead focuses on the goal of total prison/police abolition. And while I understand and agree with the logic in the abstract and respect the work being done by abolitionists promoting and facilitating prison abolition and transformative justice/restorative justice, I can't ignore the silencing and idealism of this particular ideal in practice.
What does transformative/restorative justice look like for murder by police? How do we "hold accountable" as a community police who kill us, when they exist solely to execute us? And where does that leave the families of those murdered who are demanding their loved ones' murderers be arrested and prosecuted?
I think in our fight for abolition, it's important we not sacrifice our connections with our communities in treating their needs as less significant than our ideals. I do not and cannot agree with doing so. I do not and cannot support any "advocacy" that says to ignore the cries of my people who are hurting and tell them what they should be feeling instead. I don't agree that fighting for abolition and doing abolitionist work should involve chastising oppressed people for leaning into the only options to receive any kind of justice that are currently available to them.
We know that arresting cops will not destroy the system, that prisons don't end violence but merely concentrate it, that even if these cops went to jail, others would still be on the streets enacting violence against us. Cops going to jail is not a solution to the police brutality and brutal murder of Black people. But who does it help to condescend to people who are being violated, whose loved ones are being killed right in front of them, who are hurting, who have received no justice telling them that they are fighting the wrong fight? That they are fighting for today when they should be fighting for someday. Even if it's just small change, even knowing there is still more work to be done, they need something to give today. If we discount anything that isn't complete and immediate overhaul, where does that leave us?
And I know you will say you live these experiences and you are also in these communities navigating this violence while keeping your politics perfect and pure, and that is great for you.
All the cookies.
The other 43 million of us aren't here for cookies, we're trying to survive as white supremacy does everything possible to kill us. We can and will still continue to fight and advocate and push for defunding police, abolishing prisons, and all real, meaningful change through destruction of the system while supporting our people crying out for something, anything, right now in streets engulfed in flames. Because they deserve to feel the relief those wins bring them individually as we fight for our collective freedom.
Abolition will come but it won't come tomorrow so until then, throw all cops in jail.

We gladly assist and work with many real estate agents and their clients. We inspect roofs on listings they have to ensure that the roof is in good condition and there is not any storm damage before a potential buyer places an offer on that home or business. Our goal here is to simply prevent any issues that could slow up the closing or lower the value/asking price for our realtors and their clients. If the roof has hail or wind damage we want to address it immediately. If insurable damage is present we get the insurance company involved right away and push them to replace that roof, if needed. By doing this it will save a closing from being postponed along with making sure the sale brings top dollar for that transaction. Adding a new roof with a 50 year transferable warranty while the home is on the market will certainly make the sale on that property go much smoother.


Here is a quick look the Nikkei 225 with an overview of the cyclical rallies and their duration during Japan's secular bear market, now well into its 22nd year. I've also included an overlay of nominal and real Nikkei performance and the pattern of inflation/deflation. And finally, we'll have a look at Japan's 10-year yield.
For most major indexes, we expect to see a significant difference between the nominal and real price over a multi-decade timeframe. But Japan's chronic bouts of deflation have kept the two metrics rather tight. Note that I've used a log vertical axis for the index price to better illustrate the relative price changes over time.
Government bond yields in the safe-haven countries have been plunging of late. The lesson from Japan is that the trend toward lower yields can last a very long time. Here is an overlay of the nominal Nikkei (linear scale) and the 10-year bond along with Japan's official discount rate.
And here is a closer look at the 10-year yield over time.


For as long as she can remember, Kayla Harrison dreamed of becoming the best in the world at something.
Under the bright lights of Rio de Janeiro's Carioca Arena in 2016, she bowed out aged 26 as a double Olympic champion.
The girl from Middletown, Ohio, went where no other American had ever gone before in her career, dominating judo's half-heavyweight division for almost a decade.
But her journey was anything but easy. To get to the top of the podium, Harrison had to climb from rock bottom.
"Judo saved my life," Harrison wrote in an exclusive CNN column last year. "The sport gave me a goal and something to wake up for.
"If I didn't have that when I was a teenager, I might not even be here."
Sexually abused by her first coach as a teenager, Harrison often considered abandoning her ambitions -- even contemplating suicide.
She thought about running away to faraway places; of being a barista in New York, "where no-one would know me or look at me."
Sport provided the light at the end of the tunnel.
Harrison moved to Boston aged 16 in search of a fresh start after her ordeal, training under US Olympic coach and former world champion, Jimmy Pedro.
It took time to banish her demons and, at least at first, the last thing she wanted to do was train or study.
"There were days when my teammates would drag me out of bed and drive me to school, and they would watch me walk through the school doors," Harrison recalled.
"I didn't want to lift weights, I didn't want to go to school, or go to therapy, but I had no choice. If I wanted to be in the judo house, I had to follow the rules."
The budding judoka was working 50 hours per week at a hardware store in order to pay the rent, alongside her lessons in the classroom and on the tatami.
But gradually judo's self-discipline was instilled and her fighting spirit shone through.
The results soon followed, with Harrison twice crowned US senior national champion before her 18th birthday.
While the teenager was quickly making a name for herself as one of the most talented Americans the sport had seen, it was another thing entirely to do it on the global stage.
Harrison, though, was just getting started. A gold medal at the Junior 2008 World Championships in Bangkok proved she had what it took to beat the more established nations.
And so it proved, with Harrison topping the podium at the senior World Championships two years later in the home of judo, Japan.
A host of Grand Prix and Grand Slam titles followed in her half-heavyweight division, leading up to the 2012 London Olympics, where Harrison was among the favorites.
Just months before the Games, a partial tear to her medial collateral ligament left her knee the size of balloon, but she wasn't about to let that stop her.
Instead, she defeated longtime rival Mayra Aguiar and home favorite Gemma Gibbons to end a 48-year wait, becoming the first American -- male or female -- to win Olympic gold.
Harrison had fulfilled her childhood ambition and was, indisputably, the world's best in her under 78kg division.
She also transcended the sport, bravely using her newfound platform to speak out about the horrors she had endured, and setting up the Fearless Foundation in order to help others in similar positions.
Four years later, the Rio 2016 Olympics placed her among truly exalted company.
There Harrison bowed out from the sport on the grandest stage of all, with Aguiar and French star Audrey Tcheumeo below her on the podium and a second gold medal around her neck.
No other American judoka has come close to emulating her since, but Harrison is eager to point out that she couldn't have done it alone.
"I'm not the only one who has made sacrifices," she said. "My coaches, my family, every doctor who has taped my knee or helped me recover from an injury, anyone who's taken a fall for me or sparred with me, helped me be successful.
"It's a hard lifestyle. I spent half my life living from a suitcase, going to Japan, Germany, the UK... But I wouldn't change a second of it because it gave a kid from a middle of nowhere town in Ohio a chance to see the world.
"It speaks volumes about my coaches and my teammates that they were able to drag me from rock bottom to the pinnacle."


I really like the New Balance sneakers seen here. As a part of the Spring 2012 http://uristocrat.com/tag/blow-the-roof/ sneaker collection, the USA Made brand will release the M999 GP sneaker. The sneaker features a grey upper with a smattering of purple accents. Take a look and if you like, pick them up from Up There.

Harvesting and Using Salsify
Connie Krochmal
Salsify roots are usually harvested after a frost. This winter root crop is very versatile.
Harvesting Salsify
It is easier to harvest salsify when the soil is moist. Water the soil before harvesting if necessary. Salsify is generally best left in the ground until just before the ground becomes so frozen that the crop can't be dug.
Salsify roots generally taste best after a frost. Assuming the ground isn't frozen, the harvest can continue into early spring. In any case, black salsify is best to harvest before the plant begins to flower the second year.
Uses for Salsify
This root crop looks somewhat like parsnips. Once these roots are peeled, they can begin to oxidize. They're generally peeled before the roots are eaten.
These roots can be stored for a short time in root cellars. They can also be stored for several weeks in a refrigerator. If stored for long periods, the roots tend to become shriveled and lose some of their flavor.
Salsify has been used to make fish stock because the roots have an oyster-like flavor, which is why this is sometimes called vegetable oyster. The roots have even been used as a substitute for oysters. The flavor is mild, so avoid using strong tasting seasonings with this.
Salsify roots have many culinary uses. This very versatile root crop can be baked, steamed, braised, fried, boiled and mashed, pickled, and sautéed in butter. The roots can be used as a substitute for carrots. Raw salsify roots can be added to salads.
These roots are suitable for drying. This can also be added to stews, made into fritters and cream soup. Salsify combines well with mushrooms.
Salsify leaves can be used raw in salads. The cooked leaves are eaten as a green. The shoots can be blanched and eaten much like asparagus. The blossoms and flower buds are eaten cooked and pickled.
"Thomas Jefferson's Cookbook", which was published by the University of Virginia Press, included recipes and ideas for preparing salsify. For one recipe, these were cooked and mashed and formed into small cakes like pancakes. The book also had suggestions on using this in a casserole that contained cooked salsify, bread crumbs, seasonings, flour, butter, and milk. Another suggestion was to fry the roots.
In addition to its many culinary uses, this plant has served various other purposes. The natives of British Columbia have chewed the latex from the roots like chewing gum.

Q: Regex for First Line (Only) that Contains a String I have a bunch of phone numbers with one per line:
[Home] (202) 121-7777
C (202) 456-1111
[mobile] 55 55 5 55555
[Work] (404) 555-1234
[Cell] (505) 555-1234
W 303-555-5555
M 777-555-5555
c 12346567s

I want to grab the first one that contains the letter "c" upper or lower case.
So far, I have this /^.*[C].*$/i and that matches C (202) 456-1111, [Cell] (505) 555-1234 and c 12346567s. How do I return only the first? In other words, the match should only be C (202) 456-1111.
I have been blindly putting question marks everywhere without success.
I am using Ruby if it makes a difference http://www.rubular.com/r/h6ReB9IN8t
Edit: Here is another question that Hrishi pointed to but I cannot figure out how to adapt it to match the whole line.

A: Try match method. Here is an example:
list = <<EOF
[Home] (202) 121-7777
C (202) 456-1111
[mobile] 55 55 5 55555
[Work] (404) 555-1234
[Cell] (505) 555-1234
W 303-555-5555
M 777-555-5555
c 12346567s
EOF

Update
#match line with "c" letter in line, even that are part of word
puts list.match(/^.*C.*$/i)

#match line with "c" letter in line, that are not a part of word
puts list.match(/^\W*C\W.*$/i)

A: Split the string by  the new line characters, and select the substring which matches your requirements and grab the first one:
str = '[Home] (202) 121-7777
C (202) 456-1111
[mobile] 55 55 5 55555
[Work] (404) 555-1234

M 777-555-5555
c 12346567s'

p str.split(/\n/).select{|el| el =~ /^.*[C].*$/i}[0]

or use match:
p str.match(/^.*[C].*$/i)[0]

EDITED:
Or, in case you want to find the first chunk that exactly starts with C try this:
p str.match(/^C.*$/)[0]

A: EDIT Added two more ways of handling this. The last one is preferable.
This will do what you want. It will search for matches of your regex, and then get the first one. Please note that this will produce an error if string does not have any matches.
string = "[Home] (202) 121-7777
C (202) 456-1111
[mobile] 55 55 5 55555
[Work] (404) 555-1234
[Cell] (505) 555-1234
W 303-555-5555
M 777-555-5555
c 12346567s"

puts string.match(/^(.*[C].*)$/i).captures.first
puts string.match(/^(.*[C].*)$/i)
puts string[/^(.*[C].*)$/i]

Ruby Docs String#match.

A: I'd go about this a bit differently. I prefer to reduce regular expressions to very simple patterns:
str = <<EOT
[Home] (202) 121-7777
C (202) 456-1111
[mobile] 55 55 5 55555
[Work] (404) 555-1234
[Cell] (505) 555-1234
W 303-555-5555
M 777-555-5555
c 12346567s
EOT

Finding the right line to work with is easily done using either select or find:
str.split("\n").select{ |s| s[/c/i] }.first # => "C (202) 456-1111"
str.split("\n").find{ |s| s[/c/i] } # => "C (202) 456-1111"

I'd recommend find because it only returns the first occurrence.
Once the desired string is found, use scan to grab the numbers:
str.split("\n").find{ |s| s[/c/i] }.scan(/\d+/) # => ["202", "456", "1111"]

Then join them. When you have phone numbers stored in a database you don't really want them to be formatted, you just want the numbers. Formatting occurs later when you're outputting them again.
phone_number = str.split("\n").find{ |s| s[/c/i] }.scan(/\d+/).join # => "2024561111"

When you need to output the number, break it into the right grouping based on the regional phone-number representation. You should have some idea where the person is located, because you've usually also got their country code. Based on that you know how many digits you should have, plus the groups:
area_code, prefix, number = phone_number[0 .. 2], phone_number[3 .. 5], phone_number[6 .. 9] # => ["202", "456", "1111"]

Then output them so they're displayed correctly:
"(%s) %s-%s" % [area_code, prefix, number] # => "(202) 456-1111"

As far as your original pattern /^.*[C].*$/i, there are some things wrong with your understanding of regex:

*

*^.* says "start at the beginning of the string and find zero or more characters", which is no more effective than saying /[C].

*Using [C] creates an unnecessary character-set which means "find one of the letters in the set "C"; It does nothing useful, so just use C as /C.

*.*$ artificially finds the end of the string also, but since you're not capturing it there's nothing accomplished, so don't bother with it. The regex is now /C/.

*Since you want to match upper and lower-case, use /C/i or /c/i. (Or you could use /[cC]/ but why?)

Instead:

*

*To find a "c" or "C" anywhere in the string, just use /c/i. That's all that's needed. http://rubular.com/r/uPyxACOWls

*To find "c", "C" or "cell" or "Cell", you can use /c(?:ell)?/. http://rubular.com/r/TkSRPWG2y6

*To find "c", "C", "cell" or "Cell" as a separate word, use word-break markers like /\bc(?:ell)?\b/. http://rubular.com/r/Smo0bFs9w8
You can get a whole lot more complicated, but if you're not accomplishing anything with the additional pattern information, you're just wasting the regex-engine's CPU-time, and slowing your code. A confused regex-engine can waste a LOT of CPU-time, so be efficient and aware of what you're asking it to do.

In most cases, no. The Ooma device should function fine as long as you have enough bandwidth.

3 Vitamins That Could Be Causing Your Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a sensation of noise in the ears, such as humming or ringing, that only you can hear.
Image Credit: Kwangmoozaa/iStock/GettyImages
Tinnitus is one of those annoying conditions that can leave you stressed, sleep deprived and unable to work productively. It involves ringing in the ears — for some people so loud that it affects their ability to function normally. But when it comes to supplements that have a connection to tinnitus, there are only two.
Tinnitus is a common problem of those who have hearing loss. It can involve ringing, buzzing, chirping, whooshing, humming, roaring or other noise. It can occur even if you've suffered a hearing loss so slight that you become aware of it only when examined by a trained hearing specialist.
Hearing loss occurs when tiny hair cells in your cochlea are damaged. You can't repair or regrow these hair cells, but a trained medical doctor who specializes in hearing may be able to give you options to help your tinnitus and rule out any potential serious causes.
Supplements and Tinnitus
One vitamin supplement that's been linked as a possible cause of tinnitus is vitamin D, but that's only from taking doses far higher than the recommended daily amount. If you've been taking high doses of vitamin D3 and you notice tinnitus that's worsening, cut back on your intake, or cut it out altogether, which may alleviate the problem. It's important, though, to check with your doctor before doing this.
Tinnitus is considered to be an early symptom of vitamin D intoxication associated with hypercalcemia, along with weakness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting and other unpleasant symptoms. If you have these symptoms, you should avoid foods with calcium and contact your doctor. Hypercalcemia can develop into a very serious condition.
If you have tinnitus, you may have a vitamin B12 deficiency. A study reported in Noise and Health looked at tinnitus patients. Those who were found to have a vitamin B12 deficiency saw their tinnitus symptoms lessened after they were given vitamin B12 therapy. The therapy consisted of intramuscular injections of 1 milliliter of vitamin B12 weekly for six weeks. Check with your doctor to see if you have tinnitus from a vitamin deficiency.

Tinnitus: Difficult to Treat
The exact path of tinnitus is hard to trace, which makes this condition difficult to treat. While tinnitus is thought to be caused by hearing loss when cochlear hair cells are damaged, pinpointing the exact region of the damage has proved elusive.
Vitamin B12 may help because cochlear function depends on good vascular supply and the normal functioning of nerve tissue. Low levels of vitamin B12 may cause damage to the protective myelin sheath around neurons in the cochlear nerve. The protective myelin sheath surrounds nerve fibers in the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. When it's damaged, nerve impulses can slow or stop, causing neurological problems.
So the damaged myelin sheath around the cochlear nerve neurons may cause the degeneration and death of the neurons. The longer the condition goes without treatment, the more chance there is of permanent damage.

Reason for B12 Deficiency
Dietary habits can result in B12 deficiency. Vegetarians and those who consume few dairy products are more likely to be deficient. Another group of people who are likely to be vitamin B12 deficient are those with pernicious anemia, which affects 1 to 2 percent of adults. This is characterized by a lack of intrinsic factor, and they can't properly absorb vitamin B12 into the gastrointestinal tract. High doses of oral vitamin B12 or intramuscular supplements may be effective treatments.
Read more: Vegetarian Foods Rich in Vitamin B12
Also, up to 30 percent of older people have lower amounts of hydrochloric acid secreted into their stomachs, and this means they're less likely to be able to absorb vitamin B12. Also, lower hydrochloric acid levels might increase the growth of normal intestinal bacteria that use vitamin B12. That reduces the amount of vitamin B12 available to the body even more.
Without vitamin B12, your body won't make enough red blood cells, and the cells it does make will be too large. Red blood cells are needed to provide enough oxygen to tissues and organs. Without enough oxygen, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia.
Some Tinnitus Remedies
Some people with tinnitus try ginkgo biloba or the mineral zinc or magnesium with varying success. Common tinnitus remedies include white noise machines, hearing aids, masking devices and retraining your brain so you don't focus on the sound caused by tinnitus. Alternative remedies include acupuncture, hypnosis and stress avoidance, but there's little evidence that these work. The smartest step to take upon developing tinnitus is to see an otolaryngologist.

More About Warner's 1912 Book
The endorsements at the bottom of the 1912 ad were the same as previously: one from Walter Camp and the other from an unnamed prominent athletic director. Most of the ad is an endorsement written by Parke H. Davis. The first paragraph is most interesting.
During the season of 1911 I made a critical study of the offensive and defensive tactics of the leading foot ball teams of the East. At its conclusion my opinion was that the tactical system of the Carlisle Indian team was without any doubt the most ingenious and effective system of all. Prompted thereby I have recently made a study of the 'Course in Foot Ball for Players and Coaches,' written by Glenn S. Warner, the Coach of the Carlisle team. This also is far and away the most advanced and scientific presentation of expert foot ball play in existence. Mr. Warner's course consists of twenty pamphlets, copiously illustrated with diagrams, drawings and photographs of players in action, exhaustive and complete, and covering every department of individual and team play.
Warner may have done the drawings or he may have enlisted Lone Star Dietz to do them or they each may have done some as they later did for Warner's 1927 book. That Dietz did the cover art for the 1912 book argues for his having done some of the interior illustrations. Various "famous players" are photographed performing various football skills including kicking, punting, and catching punts. Frank Mt. Pleasant is the only player specifically identified with a photo as Warner included three frames of Mt. Pleasant throwing a forward pass. Each frame represents a different part in the throwing motion. What looks to be a young, skinny Jim Thorpe is shown dropping the ball to punt it. Gus Welch (possibly) is shown following through after punting the ball.

The Yost Affair
Fielding Yost was a contemporary of Pop Warner known for coaching the point-a-minute Michigan teams. After reading in the same article that triggered the previous blog that after coaching Kansas in 1899, Yost moved to Michigan. Knowing that was wrong, I checked the font of all knowledge, Wikipedia, and found something I didn't expect to find. That nugget was "The Yost Affair."
Fielding Yost, a West Virginia native, enrolled in Ohio Normal School (known today as Ohio Northern University) in 1889 and played on their baseball team. Sometime after leaving Ohio Normal, Yost enrolled at West Virginian University where he played football beginning in 1894 at age 23. In October 1896, West Virginia played, and lost, to Lafayette in three successive days in games all played at or near home. Not liking to lose, Yost transferred to Lafayette in mid-season to play on Parke H. Davis's national championship team. So, just a week after playing against Lafayette, he played for them in their big game with Penn and helped them win.
Penn officials didn't miss noticing Yost's sudden appearance on Lafayette's roster and dubbed this "The Yost Affair." The Philadelphia Ledger quoted him as saying that he came to Lafayette only to play football. Two weeks later, he was at West Virginia. However, he reassured all concerned that he intended to return to Lafayette for at least three years of schooling. The next fall, in 1897, he embarked on a coaching career instead. The Big Ten's account of Yost's early history has him graduating from Lafayette with a law degree.
1897 found Yost at Ohio Wesleyan; in 1898 he was at Nebraska; and, as stated earlier, in 1899 he was at Kansas. 1900 did not find him at Michigan but at Stanford from which he was forced to depart because they began requiring that coaches be graduates of that institution. Somehow he was also co-coach of San Jose State that year. One wonders how he was able to do that considering that San Jose played Stanford twice. Some conjecture that Michigan's merciless drubbing of Stanford on January 1, 1902 was a bit of revenge on Yost's part.

Q: Angular Child Routes Navigable without Parent Route I have some routes in an Angular 13 app which load other modules that contain a number of child routes.
My routing is set up in each module:
@NgModule({
    declarations: [DashboardComponent],
    imports: [RouterModule.forChild(childRoutes)]})
export class ChildModule{}

export const childRoutes = [
    {path: 'dashboard', component: DashboardComponent},
    {path: 'reports', component: ReportsComponent}];

My parent module lazy loads the child module:
export const appRoutes = [
    {path: 'store', component: StoreLayoutComponent,
     loadChildren: () => import('app/store/child.module').then(m => m.ChildModule)}];

@NgModule({
    imports: [
    ...
    RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
    ],
    ...})
export class AppModule {}

Both the urls https://localhost:4200/store/dashboard and
https://localhost:4200/dashboard load the child DashboardComponent.
The second url shouldn't be valid. Why is it valid?

A: Try putting the child routes within the children.
Child
@NgModule({
    declarations: [DashboardComponent],
    imports: [RouterModule.forChild(childRoutes)]})
export class ChildModule{}

export const childRoutes = [{
children:[
    {path: 'dashboard', component: DashboardComponent},
    {path: 'reports', component: ReportsComponent}]
}];

Parent
export const appRoutes = [
    {path: 'store', component: StoreLayoutComponent,
     loadChildren: () => import('app/store/child.module').then(m => m.ChildModule)}];

@NgModule({
    imports: [
    ...
    RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
    ],
    ...})

A: The issue here was that the StoreModule was both being lazy loaded and appeared in the app.module.ts of the application. This created routes for the module both as a direct child of the app.module and also as a lazy loaded module at the correct address.
Removing the declaration of StoreModule from the imports statement of app.module.ts solved the problem.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

Gentlemen, I think you know why I've called you all here today. America is going to war.
We all know that President Wilson campaigned on American isolationism. Who can forget his rallying cry for "four more turns of peace"? Isn't that the American dream? Just spend our days stockpiling armies? Well, we've just received a message that will change everything.
Before this, our encounters with the Central powers have been relatively minor, Lusitania notwithstanding. But our British allies intercepted a wire from Germany to Mexico—yes, Mexico—asking them to pre-emptively attack our southern border to keep us away from Europe.
I know we've had a long-standing peace with Mexico, but they're one turn away from turning in cards, and a surprise attack of that magnitude is a risk we cannot take. It's been decided, men: We're entering the Great War.
Now, the Allies would have you believe that the western front is the key to this battle. Admiral Fisher and the Royal Navy would love to have some American reinforcements in his skirmishes. But Lady Liberty takes orders from no Brit. While Wilhelm rolls snake-eyes against the Allies in Western Europe, the best opportunity lies on the Eastern Front.
Our success lies in taking the Ukraine.
The Ukraine is weak. Austria-Hungary has moved their defenses to the west and that socialist Lenin just pulled his red armies out of the way. If we wait any longer, the Central Powers may take all of Europe and get their full bonus. If you don't like the Kaiser now, just wait till you see what he does with five extra armies.
The time for talk is over; now we must act. Gentlemen, it's a game of global domination, and America is on the attack.

So DC was amazing, though hot. I really had fun exploring the DC food scene with my hubs and I definitely feel a lot smarter & cultured from all the time we spent in museums! And the two weddings I shot this past week were AMAZING. They were both so different but so so so fabulous! I am on a high. A wedding high. I can't believe how amazing my clients are, how much love is in the world, how awesome my job is! I am a lucky lady!
So now onto Tuesday Top 5!
1. Volt. If you said, "what was the best meal of your trip Ashleigh?" I would say. "going to Volt! Duhhhh!" Yeah it was that good. Volt is Bryan Voltaggio's (of Top Chef fame) restaurant in Frederick, MD. And it is truly a-maz-ing. We had the 3 course prix fixe lunch. It started with in-house baked sealt-rosemary breadsticks, in house baked bread, and in house made sea salt butter. The waiters present your food to you in perfect form, making sure your flatware is appropriate, and that you know all the delectable components to your dish. Very much like how the chefs present their dishes on Top Chef. For my appetizer I had the yellowfin Tuna Tartare which was to die for. It was wrapped in a thick jasmine rice paper and finished with cilantro oil and a soy foam. Um AMAZING. AJ had the goat cheese ravioli with wild mushrooms and it was in this insane sauce. The raviolis melted in your mouth. Mmmm baby. For the entree, I had the halibut with pea puree and carrot risotto. Everything was so uniquely presented and perfectly cooked. AJ had a homemade pasta with braised lamb sauce. We finished with dessert which we shared. First for our anniversary, they brought out an orange-mint semi-fredo which was quite refreshing. Then there was Textures of Chocolate. Yes the dessert was called Textures of Chocolate which is as fancy and delish as it sounds. It was a chocolate ganache that you could mix with other chocolate textures on the plate, such as chocolate syrup, chocolate ice cream, cocoa powder, crunch chocolate and more. It was very interesting and wonderful. Lastly was my favorite– cheesecake with sour cherries. The cheesecake was deconstructed which was an unexpected twist. The flavors were spot on and I loved the cherry ice cream! Seriously every dish was a presented in an original and unexpected way. Yet the flavors were spot on and divine. I'm SO glad we made it to Volt! It was a totally fab experience!
2. Good Stuff Eatery. Another place we ate in DC that I am still drooling over is Good Stuff Eatery. Owned by another Top Chef contestant, Chef Spike Mendelsohn, Good Stuff Eatery is like slow food fast. Good food. Farm fresh, organic, earth friendly ingredients in a fast food, burger joint set up. If fast food was like this everywhere, I would not hate it so much. So Good Stuff is a burger place and AJ said the burger was legit. But y'all I ate the "Vegetarians Are People Too Shroom Burger" and it was AWESOME. Fresh baked bun. Pickles. Good Stuff sauce. Lettuce, tomato, onion. And the piece de resistance….A portabello mushroom cap, stuffed with cheese, rolled in panko and flash fried as the patty. WOW. Eating this was so satisfying and tasted so meaty. But it was vegetarian. But it had all the great classic burger flavors. It was GREAT. I only wish I could eat it all summer long!!! I hope Spike will expand Good Stuff and bring it to LA. I know I always say I hate chain restaurants…but Good Stuff Eatery seems like the kinda chain I could get behind, if did in fact become one! I love the principles of this restaurant and I love the food! Oh and I almost forgot…they have AMAZING milkshakes! The toasted marshmellow shake is mind-blowing. Seriously.
3. Landing Safely. I love traveling. LOVE it. But flying? It makes me a little nervous. Not like I need to take a valium nervous. Just a tad nervous. I actually never used have nerves at all. But when I met AJ and fell in love, all the sudden I'd get nervous flying. I got afraid of something bad happening. I think it's because I love him so much and I love our life and I'm so excited for our future…so I don't want that to end…you know? But I try to disregard these nerves. Because I know deep down it will probably be okay. And life is about LIVING and not being afraid. And I should see as much of the world as I can during my short time here! I know all this. I do. But still. The whole flight there is always this little pit in my stomach. So when the plane touches down and we are all safe and good, I get really happy. I thank the universe and feel a big sigh of relief! Anyone else feel this way about flying? Anyone? Bueller?
4. Seeing my kitties. Basically from the second we left for DC I missed my cats. Call me lame. Call me a crazy cat lady. Tell me to get a life. Whatever, ain't no thang. Cause I know that me and my kitties got something very special going on. Every night in DC was hard to sleep. I am so used to having my nightly kitty-cuddles and feeling them curled up by my feet while I sleep. On the plane back to Long Beach I kept thinking "almost time to see those sweeties!" So finally we were home. And I saw there sweet faces. And I was so very happy! And ever since I have been in cuddle city. Because apparently they really missed me too. Like I said, we have a special thang going on, those kit-kats and I!
5. My Seriously Amazing Clients. Besides being creative and getting to take photographs for a living, one of my favorite parts of my job is getting to meet, know and work with so many amazing people. My clients continually blow me away with their kindness, and with their warm and genuine hearts. This week especially so. Pam & Justin's wedding in Maryland was so lovely and so fun. I truly felt like I was amongst friends all day…and honestly that's because I was! Then there was Ryan & Kristina's wedding on Saturday. Another couple who are just so welcoming and caring and feel like old friends. I was so giddy all day long for them! Then I came hone to such a sweet thank you note from the lovely Serene & Mike! When my couples take the time to thank me, it means so much! Because really, I thank all of you for allowing me to live such a dream! And lastly, there was the sweet Patricia & Matt on Sunday. They bought me & AJ a funnel cake after our session, which was so unnecessary but oh so very very awesome!!! And it was great to just chill with them over deep fried goodness and develop even more of a friendship. You see, 4 days packed with wonderful client interaction that melts my heart! I really am so ecstatic about all my weddings and all my clients, and so thankful for everyone of you. I can't wait to see who the next generation of awesome clients will be! But I'm sure they will rock just as much! Because I really do run my business based on the philosophy that my clients should be friends! It's just so good that way!

By Teachers Writers Collaborative | October 30, 2022
Click to read the full Strategic Vision
In the summer of 2022, T&W embarked on a review of our mission, vision, and values. The goal was to consider how these directives might more closely respond to the current landscapes of arts education, social equity, and the needs of the communities we serve. We also wished to remain faithful to the heart of what inspired T&W's founders: a strong belief in the power of writing to transform the lives of young people.
One of our chief concerns was to explicitly define equity as central to our mission. The desire to move the education system toward greater equity has always been at the core of T&W's work. Indeed, it was the driving force that led our founders—among them poet activists June Jordan, Grace Paley, and Kenneth Koch—to establish the Collaborative in response to inadequate resources in New York City public schools, especially those in poorer districts, directed to the arts. Fifty-five years later, schools are facing the same challenges. We remain as committed as ever to partnering with schools and community centers in under-resourced communities and to creating platforms that amplify voices that have been historically marginalized.
The mission, vision, values, and strategic goals were generated by the T&W staff in collaboration with the board, advisory board, teaching artists, and other key members of the T&W community.
Following is a letter from our executive director, Asari Beale, and board chair, Luis Jaramillo, included in the Strategic Vision.
The last three years have been a period of great transition for T&W. In 2019, Asari Beale joined the organization as its Executive Director. Within a year, the pandemic shut down schools and community centers. Nonetheless, T&W continued running programs for kids, seniors, and people with disabilities. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, T&W has emerged with a stronger sense of what we do and why we do it and with a talented team working to achieve our vision.
Over the last three years, we have expanded our staff to maintain our existing programs and pursue opportunities for innovation and growth. All of our employees are writers and teachers, so our work is directly informed by our personal experience. In addition, we have recruited a terrific roster of teaching artists whose diversity and talent contribute to the richness of our programs. Finally, we have steadily put in place the technological systems to allow us to work more effectively, including a new website for Teachers & Writers Magazine, due to launch in January 2023, that will make our resources even more accessible.
The next three years will be a continuation of this process of fortifying for the future. Our major goals include:
Program Innovation: Deepening the impact of our work, keeping diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion at the center of all we do.
Community Building: Supporting our community of teaching artists and sharing their innovations with a broader audience
Board Development & Fundraising: Strengthening an active board that will champion T&W as we move into our next chapter as an organization.
This document is the culmination of conversations with our T&W community, including staff, teaching artists, board, advisory board, and friends. It reflects their passion and dedication to our work. We are grateful for the support of this vibrant family and look forward shaping the future of Teachers & Writers Collaborative together.
In the spirit of creativity and community,
Asari Beale, Executive Director
Luis Jaramillo, Board Chair

Inter-annual variability of the numbers of Anser fabalis middendorffii (AFM) in northern Shiga Prefecture was investigated during 1982-97 in relation to the temperature, snow-depth and water level of Lake Biwa.Statistical analysis showed: 1) a strong negative correlation between the numbers and winter temperature in northern Shiga Prefecture, in which the temperature represented the average temperature and snow cover extension in Japan; 2) a negative correlation between the numbers and water level; and 3) abnormal heavy snow fall in Shiga Prefecture, such as in 1983/84, caused a decrease of the numbers. The results indicate that nation-wide cold winter with extensive snow cover induced southward migration of AFM to increase their numbers in Shiga Prefecture. Besides, due to poor feeding conditions, the AFM moved to the neighboring inland areas in case the water level of Lake Biwa increased.

One of the best things about going RVing is being able to kick back and relax.
A great way to do this, especially if you have a creative side, is by expressing yourself through art. We all have a little Van Gogh in us somewhere.
But you don't need to paint a whole masterpiece, or have years of art experience. You and your little ones alike will love filling out these new retro-style coloring books by Thaneeva McArdle.
This "Happy Campers" Coloring Book features 30 pages of vibrant art activities.
You'll be able to color everything from vintage campers (and a Volkswagen Bus) to animals, houses, trees, flowers, Gypsy Wagons, Hot Air Balloons, and more.
It comes printed on high-quality, extra-thick paper to prevent bleed-through.
So you'll be able to use almost any kind of coloring medium, including markers, colored pencils, gel pens and watercolors.
They're printed on one side only, with a charming quote about camping on the backside.
The pages also come pre-perforated, so you can easily pull out your masterpieces and hang them on the fridge.
It's a perfect, fun little book to take with you on a trip, or as a gift for the creative camper in your life who already seems to have everything.
Besides, coloring can be way more enjoyable than staying inside addicted to your iPhone. You can get creative with the book outside on a hot, sunny day, or just take it along for a back-up rainy day activity.
Vibrant examples are included to inspire you, along with a guide to basic art techniques like: patterning, shading and color theory.
The groovy illustrations will take you back to the '60s. Try filling them in with bright, vivid colors like yellow, orange and red for an all-over retro feel.
According to several of the reviews on Amazon, the quotes don't seem to interfere with the designs on the front.
If you love camping and Lisa Frank-style illustrations, these books are especially for you.
You can get your very own coloring book on Amazon here for less than $10.
They're also available from Walmart here, as well as from Barnes & Noble.

Paperlove: Embracing personal design
Croatia 7 Sep, 2018. Photos by Emanuele Camerini.
Franka Grubišić, from Zagreb in Croatia, founded the website Paperlove with a clear mission: to create an outlet for her paper passion and to help people design unique and personalized planners, notebooks, posters and calendars. In Paper Passion by Arctic Paper, she talks about her entrepreneurship in combination with her other (pretty remarkable!) interest: geospatial engineering.
Today, almost everyone walks around with the same cell phones, laptops and even clothes. We shop at the same stores, travel to the same places and desperately want to be part of a community. To belong somewhere. At the same time, we also want to be unique. To have our own personality and extraordinary identity. In 2017, Franka started to design personal notebooks, posters and planners under the name Paperlove, to embrace and highlight the uniqueness people were looking for. Since Franka was a little girl, she has had an interest in paper and has always seen herself as a creative person. She is a problem solver and strives to help people around her. Franka and her sister Danijela decided to start the Instagram account Paperlove, where they publish images of posters and notebooks of Franka's own design. Soon, they realized their followers were keen to purchase their products.
– People started to reach out to us with orders. I got the feeling that there was an urge out there for personalized and unique products. Things that no-one else has that reflect the personality. What started out as a project for myself and my family, soon grew into something bigger, with high demand from a large number of clients, Franka says.
"The end result is dependent on the paper choice, and can be really crucial when it comes to the effect of the colors and the photos."
From mood board to print
When an order is placed, an intricate process begins. Franka contacts the client to get more information on what they are looking for. Through meetings or email conversations, Franka tries to find out as much as possible about that person: what color and fonts they like or any special interests they may have. The client sends ten images, of their own choosing, which should represent them as a person. Based on that knowledge, Franka makes a mood board and then starts designing the notebooks or planners.
– My research process takes a long time, searching for inspiration, images and illustrations online. Sometimes, the client wants me to design a font based on their own handwriting, which is a pretty hard work. My goal is to embrace the person's interests, so if they say they're in to yoga, for example, I search for inspiring mindfulness quotes to put in the design, Franka says.
When the design is finished, and approved by the client, the planners or the notebooks are sent to a printing factory, where Franka usually takes a hands-on role in the process. She chooses the paper carefully, wanting to find the perfect style to best reflect the client.
– The paper is such an important part of the process, so I always make sure that I can be there to have my say. The end result is dependent on the paper choice, and can be really crucial when it comes to the effect of the colors and the photos, Franka says.
A position on the map
When Franka wasn't busy designing personalized planners and notebooks, she was studying Multimedia Computing and Geospatial Engineering at the University in Zagreb. The latter subject could be described as the teaching of geographic space, such as satellite positioning in space and the position of a human being relative to the earth. Franka explains it as someone brought up on geography and engineering. She has always had a passion for maps, and the first posters she did for Paperlove were created with that in mind. Her studies mean she can combine her entrepreneurship with her education, giving her an outlet for all her interests in life.
– In the end, both of my specializations are about finding solutions and helping others. I always had a fascination for maps. When I was a child I collected maps from every city we traveled to and wallpapered my walls with them. Now I can use my passion for something practical. Maps are a mix of art and engineering. To me, they are extraordinary, Franka says.
The dream of down under
Since Franka and Danijela started Paperlove - where Danijela is in charge of marketing and finance – they have had around 40 clients. It's at the limits of what they can handle, since each order takes around three weeks to finish. Now, both Franka and Danijela are graduating from university and got full-time-internships, so the Paperlove project has had to be set to one side. The website was supposed to re-launch this autumn, with a new web shop, but instead, they are moving the project to a so-called Etsy-shop, called 2SillySisters Studio, where they handle orders when they can.
– When we got closer to our one-year anniversary, we decided that the pilot project should be just a pilot. Opening an Etsy-shop instead is letting us focus on the design and marketing, instead of a lot of work with e-commerce systems and building an advanced website. It gives us great value, since we can have full-time-jobs on the side", Franka says.
Even if Franka is working less intensively with Paperlove in the years to come, she still has a dream she's hoping will come true: to open up a studio in Sydney, Australia. She has visited the city many times, and even lived there for a couple of months. It was an instant love affair.
– To take Paperlove to Sydney would be amazing! My goal is to move there and launch the project there. But first, I need to focus on my career and develop as a person, then I can start making plans, Franka says.

Wettlaufer faced discipline at care home, inquiry hears
Peter Goffin
An Ontario nurse who killed elderly patients in her care was disciplined several times for her poor job performance, but no one at the long-term care home where Elizabeth Wettlaufer worked suspected she was seriously harming people, her former supervisor testified Monday at the public inquiry examining her actions.
Ms. Wettlaufer, 51, has confessed to murdering eight patients and attempting to kill several more for nearly a decade, by injecting them with overdoses of insulin at long-term care homes and private residences across Ontario.
She killed seven residents of Caressant Care in Woodstock, Ont., beginning shortly after she started working there in June 2007, the inquiry heard Monday.
For years, however, administrators at the seniors' facility saw Ms. Wettlaufer merely as an underperforming employee making relatively minor errors, said Helen Crombez, the former director of nursing at the home.
"Beth had some very good sides that we saw, that's why [her murder confession] was such a shock," Ms. Crombez said. "She was making some mistakes, but doing other things fairly well."
Ms. Wettlaufer was fired in 1995 from Geraldton District Hospital, about 270 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, after stealing and ingesting drugs from the northern Ontario facility in an apparent suicide attempt, documents submitted to the inquiry show.
But Ms. Crombez said that when she hired Ms. Wettlaufer, she had no idea the nurse had ever worked at Geraldton.
Ms. Wettlaufer's only reference when she applied to Caressant was from Christian Horizons, an organization for people with developmental disabilities, where she had worked as a personal support worker.
In 2008, Ms. Wettlaufer failed to administer insulin to a pair of Caressant patients who needed the drug, the inquiry heard Monday. Ms. Crombez said it was only in the days leading up to the public inquiry that she realized Ms. Wettlaufer may have been hoarding the insulin to use for some other purpose.
Ms. Wettlaufer's other disciplinary issues included failing to properly document when a new patient was admitted to the home, failing to properly administer eye drops and generally neglecting her duties, resulting in her colleagues having to do more work, Ms. Crombez said.
Ms. Wettlaufer, who on many nights was the only registered nurse on duty at Caressant Care, told her employers that she was caring for her father, who had Alzheimer's disease, and that a recent change in her medication for mental health issues had her feeling unlike herself, Ms. Crombez said.
By August 2012, Caressant administrators had "some concern" for patient safety as a result of Ms. Wettlaufer's job performance and told her they would ask the College of Nurses of Ontario to review her fitness to practice nursing if she did not improve, Ms. Crombez testified. There was no belief that Ms. Wettlaufer had caused "sustained harm" to patients, the former supervisor said.
"We wanted her to understand that she needed to perform properly," Ms. Crombez said. "It was just letting her know [that] if things continued, this could be a consideration."
Ms. Wettlaufer was fired in March 2014, after multiple medication errors, at least one of which involved insulin and put a patient at risk, the inquiry has heard.
"After she left our employ and before I knew of her crimes, I would not have given her a reference and I would not have rehired her back to Caressant Care," Ms. Crombez said.
Nevertheless, Caressant granted Ms. Wettlaufer a letter of reference and a $2,000 settlement following her dismissal, documents submitted to the inquiry show.
She was subsequently hired by Meadow Park care home in London, Ont., and killed a 75-year-old resident there in August 2014.
Ms. Wettlaufer's crimes went undetected until she confessed them to mental health workers and police in 2016. She went on to plead guilty to eight counts of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault, and was sentenced last summer to life in prison without parole eligibility for 25 years.

At a recent G20 meeting in Italy, Saudi Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture Abdul Rahman Al-Fadhli said the Kingdom has allocated SR12 billion to support small farmers.
The minister noted that agricultural investments in Saudi Arabia, funded by the Agricultural Development Fund, have grown over the past four years by about 400 percent, which has contributed to building a resilient and sustainable food system.
The Kingdom has turned to modern technical methods in the field of agricultural extension, with the aim of reaching the largest segment of farmers in a faster and more efficient manner, the minister said.

If your animal suffers from digestive upset, we highly recommend giving raw goat milk a try. Raw goat milk offers a host of benefits to your pet.
Raw goat milk requires no work from the digestive apparatus. It contains over 60 enzymes, including lactase, to prevent lactose intolerance. It has small proteins and fat molecules that make for easier digestion.
Raw goat milk is more buffering than over-the-counter antacids.
The naturally occurring probiotics (good bacteria) and added probiotics in their natural growth medium that are in goat milk provide a broad spectrum of nutrients, including enzymes and vitamins.
Bacteriocins, which are produced by the probiotics in the milk formula, are substances that can inhibit pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella, without harming good bacteria and body cells. A 2000 study led by Dr. Chitra N. Wendakoon of the University of Alberta, Edmonton, found fermented milk products can kill Helicobacter pylori, the ulcer-causing bacteria often associated with inflammatory bowel disease.
Biofilm is produced by microbes and cancer cells for protection. It can prevent probiotics from populating the gut and prevent proper absorption of nutrients. Raw goat milk has over 60 enzymes that can help to break down biofilm.
Gut flora includes the microbes, bacteria, yeast, viruses, and protozoas that naturally populate the digestive system. The type of microbes (good or bad) populating the gut is directly related to what the pet eats. Gut flora influences 84 percent of a pet's immune system. The proper gut flora can produce not only necessary vitamins, but antibiotic, anti-viral, and anti-fungals required for the body to heal itself.
