The aim of this thesis is to define and expand on the experience of traumatic loss and to examine the helpful role that pastoral caregivers play in supporting survivors of traumatic loss. The thesis will discuss and analyze theological and psychological responses to traumatic loss that are both "life-giving" or growth-oriented and "life-limiting" or growth-inhibiting. Its goal is to serve as a guide for pastoral caregivers who are caring for with bereaved people "walking through the darkness" of traumatic loss.
Part I will begin with an overview/analysis of the grief process, and parts II and III will build on the claim that traumatic loss is complex, warranting its own space for theological and psychological study. Part IV of the paper will examine theological responses to grief and traumatic loss, expanding on Pargament et al.'s (2006) work on spiritual orienting systems. Parts V and VI explore the role of pastoral caregivers in the grief process, delving into the ministry of presence and identifying healing practices, including an overview of the role of social support, prayer, forgiveness, meditation, and guided imagery.
In conclusion, this thesis argues pastoral caregivers have a unique and impactful role in supporting survivors of traumatic loss. The goal is for this thesis to offer guidelines, both practical and theological, for pastoral caregivers and to contribute to the overall healing of those affected by traumatic loss.

A framework is a set of Ren'Py script files that adds large amounts of new functionality to Ren'Py. At the cost of having to learn the (potentially idiosyncratic) way the framework does things, using a framework lets you create new types of games with Ren'Py.
These frameworks are not part of Ren'Py proper, and are supported by their creators.
The dating sim engine provides a framework for creating dating-sim style games. It consists of two parts: A day planner that lets the user pick classes of events that occur during the day, and an event manager that chooses which events should be presented to the user. Documentation can be found on the DSE page.
http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=31571 has a far newer version of the DSE, updated to support screen language.
The cardgame engine provides primitives for creating card games. Documentation can be found on the the cardgame page.
The cardgame engine is under a different license than Ren'Py proper. Please read the documentation for details of this license. Commercial licenses are available.
Renpygame lets you run pygame code inside Ren'Py. This allows fairly complicated games to be created by programmers of sufficient skill.
Requires Ren'Py 6.3.2 or later.
The soft keyboard engine provides a software keyboard allows the user to input text by clicking on the keys displayed on the screen. The framework supports input of the alphabet, special characters, symbols, and even characters from other languages (as long as the font allows for it) into any Ren'Py game. Documentation can be found on the SoftKeyboard page.


By the early '70's, Downchild was gigging constantly when comic/actor and fellow Torontonian Dan Ackroyd caught a show at one of their local haunts. He, along with his cast mates from the legendary Second City, soon became regular staples at Downchild shows to party after their own performances. Ackroyd in particular became a huge fan who cherished his copy of Downchild's second album Straight Up ,on which he together with John Belushi based the first ever and multi-million selling Blues Brothers album Suitcase Full of Blues.
"They have made this collection of trademark Walsh compositions a bigger, better and more electrifying experience than anything their well-served admirers could have imagined." Gregg Quill, Toronto Star, March 2007.
Donnie Walsh named his band from a song by blues singer, songwriter and harmonica player Sonny Boy Williamson; his other early heroes included Elmore James and Muddy Waters. More than 30 years later, Walsh remains one of the most enthusiastic musicians to be found anywhere - on the rare occasions when he's not fronting a Downchild gig or fishing up north, he can be found sitting in with friends - and he has 'em in dozens of towns and cities throughout Canada and the United States.
Known as "Mr. Downchild" since he started the band, Walsh's fans still argue as to whether he's a better guitarist than he is a harp player - most figure it's a tie - but musicians everywhere give him an A+ mark on both instruments, with special praise for his slide guitar work. Younger players in the tradition cite him as one of their strongest influences. He is also the band's main songwriter; unlike most bands in the idiom, almost all the material in Downchild's shows is written by Walsh or singer Chuck Jackson. Off-stage in the summertime - between jazz, blues, and folk festival gigs in Canada and the U.S. - Walsh avoids the crowds by relaxing on his fishing boat.
Chuck Jackson is Downchild's singer; the sort of openhearted, friendly guy who builds an instant rapport with audiences. He came to Downchild thirteen years ago after a long career with a number of Canadian bands. A first-rate singer, who rates Big Joe Turner and B.B. King as major influences, Jackson's also turned into an excellent songwriter, and there are plenty of his songs on the group's most recent albums. He's also a fine harmonica player, and a special highlight of the band's performances is a harp duet with Mr. Downchild. Chuck is also the organizer of the annual Southside Shuffle - Port Credit Blues Festival which has become an important event on the southern Ontario festival circuit. Chuck was named the Maple Blues Award winner for 1999 Male Vocalist of the Year. He was also honored this year with the Toronto Blues Society's prestigious Blues With a Feeling Award for his achievements during a distinguished career.
Long known as one of the busiest, most versatile, keyboard players in North America, Michael Fonfara has added immeasurably to hundreds of recording sessions in a career that began in the early days of the rock revolution, when he was a member of the '60s super group, Rhinoceros. Since then, he has played with artists as varied as Lou Reed and Solomon Burke, and is building a new career as a record producer for a number of up and coming bands and singers. His vital, powerful keyboard work accents Downchild's unique sound. Michael was named Piano/Keyboard Player of the Year for 2000 by the Maple Blues Awards.
From northern Manitoba - just a few hundred miles south of the Arctic Circle - sax player Pat Carey is the most schooled of Downchild's players, with a degree in music from the University of Manitoba. He played with The Winnipeg Symphony, Jimmy King & the Golden Boy Brass, Rocki Rolletti, and his own Jazz groups before moving to Toronto in 1984, where he played with such artists as the late Richard "Hock" Walsh and the late Tony Flaim and the Dukes before joining Downchild in 1985. His horn arrangements are an integral part of many Canadian recordings by such artists as Jack DeKeyzer, Chuck Jackson and the All-Stars, Big Daddy G and Sunny Fournier. As well as his many recordings with Downchild, Pat has also recorded with Rita Chiarelli, Fathead, Danny Brooks, Curley Bridges, Kenny Blues Boss Wayne, & Sam Myers. Pat has been recognized as Horn Player of the Year at the Maple Blues Awards in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 & 2004. In 2002, Pat recorded the CD Starlight with his own band Pat Carey's Jazz Navigators. In this same year Pat became the President of The Iridescent Music Company Inc., a company comprised of a diverse group of Canadian musicians and Business people.
Gary Kendall is one of the best known bassists on Canada`s blues scene adding a rock solid bottom end to the band`s distinctive sound. In his first period with the band (1979-83) he worked on four albums, We Deliver, Road Fever, Blood Run Hot and the live But, I`m On The Guest List. Since returning in 1995 he`s played on Lucky Thirteen and Come On In. Gary Kendall has also toured and recorded with blues greats Morgan Davis, Snooky Pryor, Chris Murphy, Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson, Big Jay McNeely, to name only a few and he`s the Musical Director of the Maple Blues Awards. He was honoured with the "Blues With A Feeling" Award in 1993 and has won the Maple Blues Award as Bassist of TheYear in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2005. Originally from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Gary has also been honoured by his hometown, receiving the Thunder Blues Award from the City Of Thunder Bay and the Keeping The Blues Alive Award from The Thunder Bay Blues Society in 2002. When not touring and recording with Downchild he performs with The Gary Kendall Band and released his first solo recording "Dusty & Pearl" on his own 47 Records label in late 2004.
The newest member of Downchild is drummer Mike Fitzpatrick, but he's certainly no newcomer to the blues scene. And while he's been influenced by big band drummers like Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, he's found his niche with a flock of bluesmen - he's played with Big Joe Turner, Sonny Rhodes, Hubert Sumlin and Bob Margolin, but he's just as proud of the contributions he's made with Canadian artists like the late Richard "Hock" Walsh, Jack DeKeyzer, and Morgan Davis. He's recorded with Snooky Pryor, B.B. Odom and the Gold Tops, the Livin' Blues Band and Ray Materick, among many others. His role with Downchild is special - in his own words: "One of the first blues bands I ever heard was Downchild, and they were an influence on my style as well. I'm still a fan today, so for me this is a great gig." Michael won the Maple Blues Award as Drummer of The Year in 2005.

The Illawarra Shorthorn or Illawarra is an Australian breed of dairy cattle. Its origins are not documented, but it is thought to derive from crossbreeding of Ayrshire, Devon, and Dairy Shorthorn. The name Illawarra was abbreviated from the earlier Australian Illawarra Shorthorn, and named after Illawarra, New South Wales.

Conformation
Illawarras are horned, large-framed cattle of a predominantly red colour, with some whites or roans (mix of red and white) .

Production
Illawarras produce large quantities of high butterfat and protein milk. In an official test in 1998, Illawarra cows averaged 4,829 litres of milk, with slightly over 4% butterfat and 3.4% protein, under Australia's pasture production system.
According to the 2010 Australian Dairy Herd Improvement Report, the average production of an Illawarra cow is 6733 litres with a butterfat content of 3.95% and a protein level of 3.29%.

Temperament
Illawarras are very docile cows that are noted for their longevity. They make good handling cattle for shows and are easy to work with in the dairy.

Adaptability
Illawarras can stand weather exceeding 40°C and below freezing. They make the most out of feed and do not need much supplementary feeding. This adaptability under a variety conditions has contributed to the growth of the breed.

Exports
Illawarra cattle, embryos, and semen have been exported to Central America, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Canada, the Middle East, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Some good stuff on there.
One thing it is difficult to find is a large tower case specifically designed for passive cooling. Most cases are just generic fan cases with the fans removed.
I would have thought a case designed on the same principle as a solar chimney could work well.
That's the idea, but no need to use the sun, the components provide the heat, and an underground thermal exchange would be a bit unrealistic.
So, essentially a case which is quite similar to a small wood burning stove.
It could draw air in from the bottom, and have some kind of short chimney on the top.
Using the chimney effect to get air moving would help keep things like the motherboard cooled, and stop pockets of warm air being trapped in corners etc.

Channel 4's Bake Off debut drew 12m viewers including catch-up and online
Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off debut was watched by a total of 12 million people, according to the latest figures, which include time-shifted viewing on TVs, online and on-demand.
The Great British Bake Off (L-R): Noel Fielding; Sandi Toksvig; Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith
The broadcaster said that the show, which during its live broadcast drew a 6.5 million-strong audience, was watched by a consolidated audience of 9.5 million, achieving a 35.4% share.
Channel 4 said the consolidated audience, which also accounts for time-shifted viewing on a TV set over a seven-day period, included 2.7 million 16-34 year-olds, meaning that Bake Off has become 2017's biggest programme so far among younger viewers of all the terrestrial channels.
Repeated showings on Channel 4, E4 and 4Seven were watched by a further 1.5 million viewers and an additional 1.1 million watched it on All 4, making it the on-demand channel's largest-ever catch-up audience within seven days. Another 70,000 people streamed the episode via All 4's Watch Live.
The second episode of the show, which aired last night, attracted an average audience of 6 million viewers and a 27.6% audience share, peaking with 7 million viewers, Channel 4 announced today.
It was the most popular programme in the 8pm-9.15pm slot and attracted 50% of Channel 4's key demographics of 16-24 year-olds and the biggest proportion of ABC1s.
Airing at the same time, BBC1's Holby City drew 3.7 million viewers, according to unofficial overnight figures.
Bake Off's debut marked Channel 4's strongest overnight performance of the past five years, since the opening ceremony for The Paralympic Games in August 2012.
Jay Hunt, Channel 4's outgoing chief creative officer, said: "Bake Off has well and truly landed on Channel 4 with episode one delivering the highest number of young viewers for any show on any channel this year. I'm thrilled viewers have warmed to Paul, Prue, Noel and Sandi and are enjoying the exceptional standard of baking."

WBC fares well in flooding
May 2, 2017 NEA Report Lawrence County 0
WALNUT RIDGE, Ark. – Rising flood waters will not impact the Williams Baptist College campus, and the college will continue to operate on its standard schedule, according to WBC officials. As with previous Black River floods, the elevation of the Williams campus keeps it well above the forecasted level of flood waters.
The Black River at Pocahontas is expected to crest later this week at record levels. While it will not impact the operation of WBC, it is expected to impede the ability of some to reach the campus, especially those who live north or west of the college.
Dr. Brad Baine, WBC's academic dean, said Williams will work with students who are not able to get to class due to the flood.
"The safety of our students is our first priority. If they live in an area that is inaccessible because of flooded roadways, we will accommodate those students and make arrangements with them. They will not be penalized," said Baine.
The flood will not affect the bulk of Williams students. Over 75 percent of students live on campus, and others who commute to class live in areas that will remain accessible, in spite of the flood.
WBC also has several employees whose route to work is expected to be cut off by flood waters, and the college plans to accommodate those workers, as well.
WBC has experience dealing with such matters, as floods in 2008 and 2011 presented similar challenges. The Black River breached its levees during massive floods in those years, but even at their peak, flood waters remained over a mile away from the Williams campus.

Argo is the dramatized true story of the rescue of six American embassy workers who escaped from the US Embassy in Iran during the Iran Hostage Crisis in 1979-80. Through the courage of Canadian nationals and the daring of CIA intellegence staff, the workers were safeguarded and escorted to safety right under the eyes of the Iranian government and their vigilant and dangerous elite Republican Guard.

DEAD SEA SCROLLS - Life and Faith in Biblical Times
@ Discovery Times Square, New York City
At the encouragement of the Brekhman family, students and families of The Tzedek School utilize the world as a classroom for the school's inaugural field trip. For the first time, the Dead Sea Scrolls travelled from their home at The Shrine of the Book, a permanent exhibit in The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, to New York where they are at Discovery Times Square. While the exhibit is in New York for a few months, the actual scrolls themselves are on display for only two weeks (December 15 - January 2) due to their delicate and fragile nature.
Led by Director Helena Hadef and trained Israeli tour guide Eric Amkraut, the students and parents learned first hand of the significance of the scrolls and the intriguing story of their path from discovery to their reunification in Israel after 1967 to their message for the followers of monotheism today.
See a photo galery from the field trip below.
Before departing for the exhibit at New York City's Discovery Times Square, Helena leads the group in a dicussion and video presentation on the history and significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

just don't work. Why don't your mates value your work like full paying customers, they should if you are good at what you do! If you say you will swap services instead of paying each other ie. bartering, you are also signifying to the Universe that you don't need to be paid for the work that you do.
The things which can go wrong with bartering and mates rates…..
1. You have delivered your part of the deal but have been let down by the other person either by them never doing their part of the deal or them not treating you like a proper client as you didn't pay for each other's services.
2. Work you have been promised is delayed as you haven't paid for it and the other person prioritises 'paid work' ahead of yours.
3. You are disappointed with the level of service you have received or they haven't finished what they promised verbally to complete.
4. No guarantee of work completed. Little formal paperwork exchanged, so you have nothing to fall back on if the service was no good.
5. The other person did not value what they had been given from you as they had not paid for the service. They had unrealistic expectations of what would be done for the swap.
Another reason I say mates rates in business do not work is because it can be hard to charge your friends. As you become more well known in business, you will have more friends as networking is all about helping others and building rapport. If you have always charged everyone, and you pay for their services, you won't have a problem. Resentment can rise in you if you don't feel that you get the right deal with a friend, and this can affect your friendship. Trust me it is easier for everyone if you just pay for each other's services.
NB. To allow for collaboration, sometimes you need to swap services to test each other out before you partner up. Where possible make this a paid swap, but if not possible, set guidelines for you both to follow at the start about what you both expect.
Final word of warning – charge your family and friends, the same as you would a stranger. You have business expenses to pay as well as your personal bills which your friends and family will not realise as they are acting as 'consumers'. Treat them as proper clients including giving them terms and conditions and they will feel valued too.

9 animals you probably won't see in Iowa
View Count 28494
Whether they are on the endangered species list, only come out during certain times of the year, or are simply hard to see, these animals are rarely seen in Iowa.
1. Pileated Woodpecker
Around the size of a crow, the pileated woodpecker has a long chisel-like beak and red crest that swoops off the back of its head. It can be found in the far eastern edge of the state in forests with many standing dead trees and large dead logs. They drill distinctive rectangular holes to get to their favorite meal — carpenter ants. The nest of this woodpecker differs slightly from those of others because of the shape of the entrance, which is oblong instead of circular. The abandoned nest holes provide shelter and housing for other animal species such as owls, ducks, bats and swifts. This breed is monogamous, so if a mate dies the remaining one takes on a new mate, which is the main way new birds get a chance to breed. The pileated woodpecker is the second largest woodpecker in the United States with the critically endangered and possibly extinct ivory-billed woodpecker being the largest. "It's big, and really striking when you see one," says Chris Ensminger, wildlife research unit leader for the Iowa DNR.
2. Blue-Spotted Salamander
This slimy, blue-flecked fellow is an endangered species in Iowa and has only ever been located in Linn and Black Hawk counties. Its natural habitat lies within the forest, usually near ponds where the soil stays wet. They prefer vernal ponds because it is impossible for natural predators like frogs and fish to take up residence. A vernal pond is only temporary. They fill when the snow melts and slowly start drying up as the summer progresses. Unlike other species of salamanders, the blue-spotted cannot dig, but rather takes shelter underneath rotten logs or in leaf litter. Inconspicuous is a great word to describe this salamander, since they tend to only move around at night during the rain. They spend the rest of their time under the cover of leaf litter. Silt that gradually fills woodland ponds is a big cause of the decline in numbers for this amphibian.
After 150 years, there are now two confirmed sighting of fishers within Iowa. In November, a trail camera set up in Allamakee County captured video of one while another was later found on the roadside. The Minnesota DNR reported them taking over more area within southeast Minnesota, which is the likely origin of those spotted in northeast Iowa. Fishers are in the weasel family and look a bit like a fox with short legs. The fisher is a native species for Iowa, but due to the high demand for their fur combined with the general distaste for predator species by early European settlers (many predators were simply shot on sight), they were pushed out of Iowa. Unlike their name suggests, fishers don't typically like fish. Instead, they prefer fruits, mushrooms, and small mammals, including porcupine (yes, porcupine!), which haven't been present in Iowa since the 1800s.
4. Topeka Shiner
The Topeka shiner was originally found in 36 Iowa counties. Now it is confirmed to be in 13. This small minnow grows about 3 inches long and requires cool, clear streams for survival. Typically, the rocky or gravel-lined streams must occur in the prairie and flow year-round to be considered good habitat for the shiner. Even though they prefer a moving stream, Topeka shiners are most often found in the small side pools that branch off of the main waterway. The most distinguishing feature of this minnow is the long black stripe that runs from tail fin to head on both sides. The bright orange fins of breeding age males also stand out. Water quality changes caused by both humans and the environment are the leading reason the Topeka shiner reached the federal endangered species list.
5. Franklin's Ground Squirrel
The Franklin's ground squirrel dwells in tallgrass prairies. It looks comparable to other rodents with its short legs, large cheek pouches, and short furry tail. This animal is alternately known as the whistling ground squirrel because of its clear musical whistle and tendency to be more vocal than other similar species. They live in underground burrows made in the sides of steep slopes with well-drained soil, and have multiple entrances and branches with room for nesting and food storage. The Franklin's ground squirrel lives throughout the Midwest and north into Canada, but many known populations, especially in Eastern states such as Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa, are declining. The biggest cause of the decline is the destruction of tallgrass habitats for urban expansion and agricultural purposes. They are also sometimes considered an agricultural pest and exterminated.
6. Eastern Whip-poor-will
Even though you may not often see a whip-poor-will in Iowa, you can hear them all summer. The ultimate challenger when it comes to hide and seek, their mottled gray and brown look makes them blend with trees and leaf litter almost seamlessly. "You commonly hear them but rarely see them because they're so well camouflaged," says Ensminger. These birds have large heads and a stout chest which gives them the stocky, front-heavy look common among nightjars. Whip-poor-wills are completely nocturnal and spend the night perched on the ground or in a tree branch waiting for insects to come close enough that they can fly up and eat them. Loud singing of their namesake call "whip-poor-will" can be heard continuously on spring and summer evenings; the easiest way to discover their presence. Loss of open understory forests due to urbanization and agriculture as well as natural fire suppression is the biggest threat to this species.
7. Smoky Shadowdragon
Though the name sounds intimidating, the smoky shadowdragon is merely a dragonfly that lives around large rivers, such as the Mississippi. It needs lots of rocks and logs within the water for larvae to cling to when they hatch. The larvae are easy to identify by their rhinoceros-like horn and short legs. This species, likely found on more rivers and streams than is currently known, tends to be good at hiding. Overall, the shadowdragon does well, but channelization, siltation, dredging, and water pollution all contribute to loss of habitat. To quickly tell this species apart from other dragonflies, look for smoke-colored wings and green eyes with small splotches of bright greenish-yellow around the thorax.
8. Hispid Cotton Rat
Owl pellets (owls regurgitate pellets of what they can't digest of their food) containing remains of the hispid cotton rat were found multiple times within Iowa, leading some to believe that they may have lived in the state for a while, but only very recently was a live one documented. This rodent, found as far south as Peru and Colombia, has slowly taken over more and more land to the north for the past 50 to 100 years, finally reaching Iowa. They prefer grassy areas, especially tallgrass prairies, meadows, and old fields where they build above-ground nests of dried grasses and other plant material. They are primarily nocturnal in their food gathering and tend not to store food, but clipped vegetation can often be found along the runways they wear into the soil (likely for nest building). Their coloring is strikingly similar to the peccary (javelina), giving them the nickname javelina rat. Increasing populations of the hispid cotton rat are expected in Iowa's future.
9. Nine-banded Armadillo
Armadillos seen within Iowa have often been on the side of the road. However, a few of these armored mammals might call Iowa home with a possibility that they are expanding their range. They could also be getting picked up with fruit or other truckloads and trainloads of food and then end up on the road. "We used to believe that most of them were coming in on trucks, but I think the rate we're seeing now would lead us to believe it's more than just that," says Ensminger. When startled, armadillos jump 3 to 4 feet in the air, making them collide with the underside of cars. They cannot survive a harsh winter in Iowa, but they are doing well further and further north in Missouri. "Uncovered skin in northern climates is not a good deal. Neither is having a naked tail and ears. They do have fur, but not a lot so they would struggle," says Ensminger. Before it went extinct, the Beautiful armadillo called parts of Iowa home 11,000 years ago. Armadillos eat up to 200 pounds of insects per year and prefer to live in heavily forested areas with thick brush and lots of cover.

While space is a vast void, scientists now say that it could also be quite greasy. An international team of scientists has recreated materials with the same properties as interstellar dust, and they found that the composition is strikingly similar to grease. Moreover, they contend that "space grease" is common across the Milky Way.
In a study recently published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney (UNSW) and Ege University in Turkey focused on the fourth most abundant element in the universe: carbon. Around half the carbon found in space is pure carbon, while the other half is chemically bound in two forms. One is a bond that resembles a mothball, called aromatic carbon, while the other resembles grease and is called aliphatic.
Carbon in interstellar dust is the outflow of what are known as carbon stars, typically a red giant that contains more carbon than oxygen. Powerful stellar winds can blow away around half of a carbon star's total mass, creating interstellar dust.
Far from detritus, that dust plays a crucial role in the continued growth and evolution of the universe by providing the raw materials for future stars. Essentially just particles, the interstellar dust has amazing traveling capabilities. Back in 2014, interstellar dust became the first material scientists had ever collected from outside the solar system.
To recreate it in a lab, the scientists placed carbon-containing plasma into a vacuum at a low temperature. Once the material was collected, the scientists used magnetic resonance and spectroscopy, the dividing of light into wavelengths, to understand how much material absorbed a particular frequency of infrared light.
They found approximately 100 greasy carbon atoms for every million hydrogen atoms. That means greasy carbon accounts for anywhere between a quarter to half of all carbon within the interstellar dust. Scaling up to the entire Milky Way, there are an estimated 10 billion trillion trillion tonnes of greasy carbon in the galaxy.
Maybe one day we will find a way to use the space grease to lubricate our interstellar ships. Until then, the greasy space carbon adds another piece to the puzzle of planetary formation across the galaxy.


The issue comes from corruption within the Norton software. Just un-install the program after which re-install. It has fixed my clients problems 100% of times.
On the web, your pc conveys along with other computer systems through ports. Think about a port like a conduit through which computer systems send information backwards and forwards to one another. Within the situation of http:// versus https://, the https:// conveys on the different port.
The http:// communications on port 80 the default port for those Internet traffic. However, you will find niche sites and pages that require to operate more safely for example https:// which conveys on port 443. For reasons uknown, the Norton software becomes corrupt after which blocks traffic on port 443. You typically will get "Page Not Found" error once the port is blocked.
You may even encounter this issue when you're utilizing a computer at different locations. Say for example, you are able to achieve a specific site while surfing in your own home however, whenever you attempt to achieve that very same site from the location at the office, you receive the "Page Not Found" error. The reason behind this issue is generally because corporate security has blocked the specific port you are attempting to gain access to. All webpages can't be arrived at on port 80 even when they aren't secure (https://) sites.

Chris Balding - China's economy is too fragile to just open up to global trade
China's economy is too fragile to just open up to global trade
In an article for Bloomberg, our friend and regular contributor to the Expert Series Chris Balding argues that the US should take the weakness of China's economy into account when 'negotiating a better deal'. The US demands that China either opens up and allows more foreign competition or agrees on hard targets for boosting imports, but Chris thinks the US needs to recognize the Chinese economy is still very fragile.
From the outside, the Chinese economy appear stable, with official GDP data coming in strong quarter after quarter. As we know, Chris is an expert in digging into the Chinese numbers, and he finds that underneath the headline data, there is plenty to worry about;
The 2017 expansion wasn't driven by a change in the structure of industry as much as by a reversion to old drivers. Through a combination of fiat and the encouragement of flows from wealth-management products into commodity trading, regulators successfully pushed up base input prices in 2016 and 2017.
This had a spillover impact across the economy. Mining and processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals accounted for more than 72 percent of the growth in industrial profits last year. Back out those commodity industries, which enjoyed almost triple-digit price increases, and the remainder of Chinese industry saw profits grow by only 2.8 percent.
Banks' nonperforming-loan ratios flattened as the most indebted and risky sectors boosted profits. The jump in nominal GDP from the commodity boom put a brake on the widely watched debt-to-GDP ratio.
While the headline numbers look better, the reality is that Beijing faces many of the old problems and has less room to maneuver. Key financial metrics remain stressed or are deteriorating. Debt-to-equity ratios of heavy industrial firms, even after the boom in profits, have barely changed. The People's Bank of China lowered reserve ratios to allow banks to repay money they borrowed from the central bank. With the ratio of new loans to new deposits now consistently above 100 percent, and reserves to assets continuing to decline, banks are showing signs of stress as nonperforming loans, or NPLs, have ticked back up.
Chris goes on to remark that Beijing is well aware of these issues, and therefore are very concerned about simply opening up the economy. He thinks it only makes sense that the one industry the Chinese leaders want to open up is finance. The government hopes that in giving foreign banks access to Chinese markets, they will also rid the system of some of the NPLs. Overseas banks however seem to be looking, but are not moving in, cautioned by the risks that come with owning a Chinese bank.
Chris posits China is stuck between a rock and a hard place;
Apart from inviting foreign banks to bail out Chinese institutions, Beijing has shown no interest in liberalizing the economy. Trump officials can talk about not wanting to change China's economic structure, but the reality is that's what they are demanding – and they're demanding it of a weakened economy.
Chris concludes that Washington has to mindful of which concessions China can and cannot do, or the mission could fail;
Given the seeming evolution of a deal focused on observable metrics, like Chinese imports of U.S. goods, Washington will fail if it comes away without concessions on market access. However, another way to fail is pushing too hard for market-opening measures that present excessive risk or that Beijing cannot or will not implement.
Trump is right to confront protectionism and to push for verifiable steps in any agreement. But China's economy is weaker than the U.S. recognizes, and progress toward a pact will need to take account of that reality.

(Reviewed March 9, 2011)
What I take to be the bottom line of Cedar Rapids, directed by Miguel Arteta (Chuck and Buck, The Good Girl) to a screenplay by Phil Johnston, is pronounced by Bree (Alia Shawkat), a juvenile prostitute who figures only marginally in what is otherwise the story of a small-town insurance salesman, Tim Lippe (Ed Helms), on his first visit (age approximately 35) to the big city. The big city is the eponymous metropolis (pop. 128,000) in Iowa. We know already that Tim must be shorn of his improbable innocence and instructed in the ways of the world without — for the sake of the audience's sympathy — simply becoming cynical or corrupt. As a predictable part of this process he drinks and takes recreational drugs for the first time, has adulterous sexual relations with a colleague and is beaten up by a thug (Rob Corddry) during a wild and dangerous party at the home of Bree's Uncle Ken (Seth Morris). To the sadder but wiser Tim, then, Bree says: "We're all just selling something: "f***s, drugs, insurance."
One sees the point of course. As part of Tim's introduction to the world outside Brown Valley, Wisconsin, he must learn, as the rest of us have already learned and as they learned in Hollywood a long time before everyone else did, not to be judgmental. Even back in Brown Valley, old Tim has made a pretty good start on learning this lesson by carrying on an affair with his remarkably well-preserved seventh grade teacher, a divorcée named Macy (Sigourney Weaver), to whom he now considers himself in consequence to be "pre-engaged." The film is at least honest enough to put the moral equivalence argument in the mouth of the prostitute, who has the most to gain from the respectability of being seen to be doing only what her neighbors are doing. And yet everybody knows that what she says just isn't true. Selling insurance and selling sex aren't moral equivalents at all. Maybe even Messrs Arteta and Johnston know this.
Pretending not to know it, however, is a useful means of establishing the context in which poor Tim is to be stripped of his illusions, including (inevitably, I suppose) the illusion of Christian rectitude projected by the Midwestern Insurance Salesmen's Institute whose convention he is attending in Cedar Rapids and its holier-than-thou president, Orin Helgesson (Kurtwood Smith). That Orin will turn out to be corrupt and hypocritical is as predictable as Tim's initiation into drugs and alcohol and rather a corollary of his sexual fling with the saucy Joan Ostrowski-Fox (Anne Heche). Her explanation of why she slept with Tim in spite of her husband and small children back in Omaha — "This is my fantasy land; sometimes a girl just needs a vacation from who she is" — serves as its own benediction upon what would once have been considered shameful as well as immoral behavior.
All this is done well enough, if you're predisposed to believe such stuff, but the making of the movie is the performance of John C. Reilly in the role of the vulgar, profane, disgusting glad-hander Dean Ziegler, everybody's caricature of a salesman who becomes Tim's new best friend and co-conspirator in bringing him out of his shell. Dean is the opposite of Orin, a reverse hypocrite. He pretends to be utterly amoral while secretly pining for the wife from whom he is now divorced, his kids and a respectable if now-lost family life. He is also the loyal friend that Tim needs to reaffirm his chastened but still-strong faith in humanity — which is the only sort of faith that Hollywood allows, if it allows so much. The ethos of the salesman, who is everyone's best friend and who hopes to do well by doing good to his friends, is still something to believe in, even though much of the social and professional superstructure Tim's industry has erected upon that bedrock belief turns out to be corrupt.
Morally and intellectually, I don't think this model of contemporary reality quite holds up, but neither is it just nonsense like so much of the moralizing that comes out of Hollywood, including the moral equivalence argument made in this film. I also confess that, as a scion of both the much-maligned insurance industry and of small-town America, I find its sympathy for both these things compelling. At any rate, the picture offers a moral affirmation to which the as-yet uncorrupted bosom in the audience may return an echo and is therefore half of the reason that this movie is worth seeing. The other half comes from the fact that its moral statement need not be parsed too closely in order for anyone to enjoy it, since it is funny as too few movies are anymore. You may not agree with what Messrs. Arteta and Johnston have to tell us about the way we live today — I certainly don't — but you should find much to amuse you anyway in the adventures of this modern-day Candide.
You will need to find alcohol and drug abuse help for a loved one who is hooked on drugs and alcohol before the addiction gets worse.


Noah was banned for 20 games late last season for a violation of the NBA's restriction on performance enhancing drugs, a suspension that ends tomorrow. Holding aside, for the moment, what it means about the credibility of "performance enhancing" drugs that Noah can be proven to have used some at any point in the last four years, this development qualifies as a genuine bummer for the Knicks. Kuzminskas is nobody's idea of a future star, but he is—in exactly all the ways that Noah is not—as useful player type in the modern NBA. Noah, for his part, is a mummy. The Knicks have less than zero use for his services, and he is perhaps the least tradable player in the NBA. He is Phil Jackson's managerial incompetence, rendered in leathery flesh.
Just when you start to feel really good about the Knicks organization. Dammit.

Stanford Launches AI Institute to Create 'Positive Impact' - Newsum!
Stanford University launched the 'Stanford Institute for Human-centered Artificial Intelligence' in March 2019. This mission of this institute is "to advance AI research, education, policy, and practice to improve the human condition." It believes that AI should be collaborative, argumentative, and enhancing to human productivity and quality of life.
Its goal is to become an interdisciplinary, global hub for AI experts, thinkers, researchers, and learners across the world by leveraging Stanford's strength across all disciplines including medicine, neuroscience, business, education, law, and literature among many others.
Fei-Fei Li is also a professor at Stanford University in the Computer Science department. She formerly also worked with Google as the Chief Scientist of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. John Etchemendy too has been associated with Stanford for over 35 years. He has worked as a professor at the prestigious university since 1983 and has been Provost Emeritus since February 2017.
Though artificial intelligence certainly has the potential to make the world a much better place, it comes with its own set of challenges and problems. For instance, AI can be used for social manipulation, whereby it can target socially vulnerable people and spread propaganda in a convincing manner to sway them. In extreme cases, it can also be used to program autonomous weapons that can cause widespread damage and casualties.
In this era, where AI is increasingly being misused, this institute is a refreshing change.

20 Taiwan Businesspeople To Watch -- James Kuo, Austin Liu and Andy Lu
Russell Flannery Forbes Staff
James Kuo, Chairman, Lealea Enterprise; Austin Liu and Andy Lu
James Kuo, Austin Liu and Andy Lu – all successful businessmen or investors in their own right -- have collectively been in the news this year in an effort that has called attention to shortcomings in Taiwan's corporate governance system. The trio are trying to replace the current chairman and his board at China Petrochemical Development with a more independent slate of directors that, they say, would focus more on shareholder value creation.
Kuo with his family, holds about 40% of Lealea, one of Taiwan's most venerable textile industry manufacturers (see related post here); Liu is reportedly journalist turned investor, and Lu is founder of Holiday KTV, which was acquired by a rival. The three control roughly 30% of China Petrochemical Development and have been courting foreign institutional investors and proxies to gain enough votes for their candidates to win board seats. Election day is June 27.

CHAD PRICE
Price is a Canadian artist who has accomplished much so far in his young musical career. He's had his music featured on national TV programs, he's had radio charting songs, he's a nominee and winner of multiple music awards, he's toured across Canada, and he's shared the stage with music industry heavyweights including Lights, and Walk Off The Earth.
If you were asked to describe the music of Chad Price's self-titled sophomore album in three words, those words might just be, "grown folk music"…at least that's how the artist himself answers the question of what his music has evolved into since his first release in 2012: "The music I'm making now has a maturity and sophistication about it that I haven't had before. I've arrived at a place where I feel incredibly at home and at peace musically. I'm not searching for my voice. I've found it on this album."
On the new album, it is evident that the guitar-toting, velvety-voiced, accomplished singer-songwriter has evolved out of his artistic adolescence and flourished into musical maturity.
The twelve song album boasts Price's trademark soul-stirring and honest songwriting that has a cunning ability to cut to the core of its listeners almost surgically. Price also shows off his highly-developed penchant for guitar playing, as …

I'm very impressed with this initiative called Moms4Projects. Founded in 2013 and fully self-funded by a mother herself, Moms4Projects is a job, business and community platform dedicated to women and mothers across borders.
This platform - Moms4Projects.com - aspires to be a one-stop platform for women and mothers who would want to work from home, be in employment with flexible hours arrangement, or take on short/long-term projects on a freelance basis.
Moms4Projects brings women together with these activities: business-related and get-together events, tailored trainings, workshops, and seminars on latest knowledge, skills, business know-hows, and start-ups. Moms4Projects also connect employers with professional working women in various fields and vice versa.
Last Saturday, 15 August 2015, Moms4Projects organized the Moms4Projects Mini Job Fair & Bazaar (preloved/handmade/homemade sale) at Wisma WIM @ TTDI KL from 10am to 5pm.
Interesting array of preloved/handmade/homemade stuff.
Malaysian Child Resource Institute (MCRI).
Lovely homemade cakes by Heather from MCRI.
Each box comes with four mooncakes (with four different flavors, i.e. lotus, pandan, single egg yolk, red bean). In the box are also four paper slips printed with children's rights statements as well. I find this very thoughtful and educational.
Everything is homemade - the skin, the paste. Lovely!

We had Henry's birthday last weekend and by all accounts I think it was a success. Moving the party to our local community centre was a brilliant idea (thank you, husband). I'm not sure if I would have attempted sprinkle-covered sugar cookies and glitter-filled snow globes if it had been in our home. I think we all cam home a little glitzier and glamorous then we left.
With the help of my sister-in-law, I made the paper mobiles I first saw over on Jordan Ferney's blog Oh Happy Day. I cut all the pieces while Erin kindly sewed them all together. They were the hit of the party.
I was amazed at how much the little ones liked decorating their own sugar cookies. I'm sure the bowls full of colourful sprinkles helped! I tried out a new sugar cookie recipe I saw over on The Kitchn. It was a great - easy to make and especially easy to roll out. It didn't crumble or crack like other doughs I have tried. I would definitely use it again. There seemed to be no limit of how much icing you could put on one cookie.
The night before the party, Myles and I painted all the lids of the jars for the snowglobes and glued the figurines to the bottom. I did find that the colour from the tree topiary models tended to bleed (as one reader warned me) but they weren't a disaster. If you're going to try making these I would also suggest you use a coarse or heavy glitter. The lighter, fine glitter tended to sit on the surface of the water and only blended in when the snowglobes were agitated. All in all the children enjoyed making them and they were a simple treat that everyone could bring home.
With two birthday parties behind us this month, today we celebrate my husband's birthday - so Happy Birthday Myles! I can't promise you anything on the scale of Henry's birthday but I will try my best to make it somewhat memorable. I think there is some cake left over in the fridge!

Q: Android Typeface createFromAsset I Have a Custom View which draws text onto the Canvas.
I want to change the font to a font stored in the assets folder.
I am using Android Studio so I created a folder src/main/assets and placed my ttf files in there.
Paint txt = new Paint()
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "robotobold.ttf");
txt.setTypeface(font);

Problem is Android Studio doesn't recognize getAssets() inside my Custom View, however, it recognizes it inside my Activity. I have tried passing Typeface through from my Activity but when I do it it doesn't change the font.

A: You can use your View's getContext() method to get the current Context, then use it to get the assets:
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "robotobold.ttf");

A: created a folder src/main/assets and placed font files in there.
in Activity
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),  "Mukta-Regular.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(font);

in Fragment
Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "Mukta-Regular.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(font);

A: First of all, you have to keep your assets folder inside your project and not inside src/main.. And then, create a folder called fonts inside assets. then, put the specific font typeface ttf files inside it.You can use the font typeface in coding like:
Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/filename.ttf");
textview.setTypeface(type);

A: In order to reuse typefaces in my projects I create a class full of typeface methods, this way I dont have to create a new typeface every time.
I call the class FontClass and in the class there is a method for each typeface I need to use e.g:
public static Typeface getOpenSansRegular(Context c){
    return Typeface.createFromAsset(c.getAssets(), "OpenSans-Light.ttf");
}

Then I can use them like so:
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
text.setTypeface(FontClass.getOpenSansRegular(getApplicationContext());

A: You have to place your assets folder inside "Project" folder and not in the "src" folder. You have placed your font in the "src/main/assets/robotobold.ttf" that's why it is not working. You need to place it like this "/assets/robotobold.ttf".

A:     Typeface robo = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Thin.ttf");

A: My mistake was adding the line
Typeface mFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "abc.ttf");

before onCreate()

Colombia To License Medical Cannabis Use
by Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has signed legislation into law regulating the licensed production and exportation of cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Under the new policy, those seeking to grow medicinal cannabis commercially or manufacturer cannabis-based medicinal products may apply with government agencies for licensure. Regulators will also grant permits to those seeking to export medicinal cannabis products out of the country.
Santos said that the goal of the policy "is for patients to be able to access medications made in Colombia that are safe, high-quality and accessible. It is also an opportunity to promote scientific research in our country."
While existing law allows for the personal possession and cultivation of cannabis, the plant's commercial production, manufacture, and sale had not been permitted.
Federally licensed medical marijuana production and distribution is presently permitted in Canada, Israel, and the Netherlands.
In 2013, Uruguay officials approved legislation authorizing the retail production and sale of cannabis to those age 18 and older. Consumers in that country are anticipated to be able to begin purchasing cannabis at state-licensed pharmacies by mid-2016.

wordsmith says:
"In a nationally televised address, Santos announced it would be fully legal to grow, process, import and export cannabis and its derivatives for medical and scientific use."
Colombia has it right. They call the plant cannabis!
Sí señor! Asi se hace!
Adelante Legalización!
Acaba la prohibición!
So all the powerful talks from the OAS to the Summit of the Americas are finally paying off with real action. This is a landmark step for drug policy in the United Nations. After years of the US trying to take credit for "winning the drug war" in Colombia, I think former DEA diector Michelle Leonhart getting busted with Colombian cartels having sex orgies (while checking weapons and briefcases with fed up hotel managers) combined with this announcement to legalize medical marijuana in Colombia pretty much says it all;
Legalization is coming whether the DEA cartel or the unconstitutional CSAct likes it or not.
Felizidades Colombia!
Boy, that didn't take long;
Check this out;
https://www.marijuana.com/blog/news/2015/12/fda-issues-marijuana-rescheduling-recommendation-to-dea/
Subsequent to Colombia's announcement, related or not, The FDA just sent recommendation to the DEA to resechedule marijuana.
I'm suprised not to read anything about the recent US Solicitor General's View brief, submitted to SCOTUS, recommending denial of leave on the "Nebraska v Colorado" request for leave on Nebraska's request to file an origional action.
Add to that, The USAG has advised all local and state LE's that the "Equitable Sharing" program is being suspended imediately.
That said, It is not suprising to see these South American countries ahead of the US on origional thought on cannabis policy.
Brenton says:
@Julian: The link you provided does not actually say what the FDA is recommending,only that their recommendation has been made to DEA. This is probably the same old from FDA and HHS, where they cite antiquated studies and nonsensical hypotheses to continue to support keeping marijuana a Schedule 1 substance. Next time you cite a source to support a statement you make, please be sure to read the information so that you understand correctly. Otherwise you are misleading people, although I know it was unintended.
@Julian: (the first paragraph from the link you shared; the headline is extremely misleading) "Top federal health officials recently told the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) ***whether marijuana should be reclassified*** under federal law, a document obtained by Marijuana.com reveals, but**** it is not yet known what that recommendation entails."****
@Brenton,
You are correct, that was one of several misleading articles that are hyping up yet another likely disappointing denial of petition from the DEA. Thank you for the constructive criticism.
Between Obama passing the buck to Congress and the DEA's notorious conflict of interest, rescheduling is more likely to be accomplished legislatively than administratively following elections next year.
But the confusion over the issue of petition and the famous "leak" to representative Bleumenhower has caused me to dig up this flow chart from the Brookings Institution on how to re or deschedule under the CSAct:
http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Blogs/FixGov/2015/johnflowchart-(2).jpg?la=en
Notice from this flow chart that administratively, Attorney General Loretta Lynch plays a large role in the petition process to reschedule or deschedule. Interestingly, It shows the Attorney General having the last word, not the DEA. (Hopefully the Brookings Institute is not serving me another wild goose stuffed with cowpaddies; but then again that's what the CSAct reads like…) The DEA has denied all previous petitions. As for Lynch, she won a big case as NYDA against a woman growing marijuana out of her apartment years back. But Lynch is also a champion of African American civil rights cases, and surely cannot turn a blind eye at the injustice of the CSAct and disproportionate incarceration. This is where legacy and many of Dave Evans' posts here on "narcissistic" and "compulsive" behavior from our leadership comes into play because Obama's legacy is at stake. Is pardoning 90 prisoners, reducing mandatory minimums and taking the DHHS out of the process of FDA approved marijuana research enough for Obama's insatiable self conern for his own legacy? How will history judge him? How will his own daughter's judge him?
Regardless, Dr. Sisley's FDA approved research on marijuana, veterans and PTSD combined with the slap in the face the UNODC just received from Colombia by legalizing medical marijuana is leaving a mark:
"812(b) Placement on schedules; findings required
Except where control is required by United States obligations under an international treaty, convention, or protocol, in effect on October 27, 1970, and except in the case of an immediate precursor, a drug or other substance may not be placed in any schedule unless the findings required for such schedule are made with respect to such drug or other substance. The findings required for each of the schedules are as follows:"
Schedule 1 (c) "tetrahydrocannabinol" is defined under the CSAct as a "hallucinogen."
Does that mean all we have to do is prove that the rest of the world is Legalizing non-hallucinogenic marijuana and its the DOJ thats hallucinating? Does Colombia's action mean not only the disintegration of international drug treaties, but the collapse of DEA-cartel and Colombian Cartel collusion?
The CSAct has everybody chasing their own tails while Congress, the culprits responsible for this mess, gets slowly pressured into action.
Its like watching all of the key players of prohibition getting lined up and forced into a batting cage while the evidence just keeps shooting out the ball feeder. Good work Colombia! Good work NORML!
Solar Entitlement says:
Hopefully, with this increased acceptance and understanding,the Columbians can preserve their indigenous landrace strains from extinction,prevent cross pollination with the Indica- hybrids,in order to keep the famed Columbian red and gold lines pure, for future production and import–LEGAL importation.
Some people like that Columbian full- bodied flavor and richness,and I'm not talking about the Coffee.
Even though the coffee isn't that bad either!
I agree entirely. Instead of strain hunting in the jungle without an indian scout the legal medical industry in Colombia will seed bank their famous strains. Im hoping the same goes for Mexico. But it's going to take a consumer-activist Colombian NORML to keep seeds viable and available.
Well since I blog-hogged another article this next post wont hurt;
Apparently the DEA-cartel was protected by a federal judge a week after former DEA director Michelle Leonhart resigned last May from being busted having Colombian sex parties (no pun intended… Cant make this stuff up) Here it is from the Huffington Post;
We've got one "you can't make this stuff up" horror story from the War On Drugs, and then we'll get to the atheists and Satanists. In a story that aptly begins with the line "The drug war means never having to say you're sorry," it was revealed that a federal judge agreed with the Drug Enforcement Agency that the government is not liable for one thin dime in damages, even though they acted abominably. A D.E.A. undercover informant essentially stole a truck from a small (two trucks, total) trucking company, drove it down to the border for a drug sting, loaded it up with drugs, and then got caught in a shootout that killed him. The trucking company sued but will not even be reimbursed for the "cost of repairing the bullet holes" in the truck, which was out of commission for two months. Not only does the D.E.A. get off scot-free, but there won't even be a trial which would expose all the facts of the case. Your tax dollars at work, folks! The article ends with:
It's interesting that this ruling comes down a week after D.E.A. administrator Michele Leonhart resigned after allegations that D.E.A. attended cartel-funded sex parties in South America. The D.E.A. took a truck, filled it with drugs, then screwed up and put the truck in the middle of a shootout that damaged the truck and killed its driver. Yet Leonhart was forced to resign because of sex parties.
It isn't the illicit stuff the D.E.A. does that should worry us; it's all the horrific stuff the agency does that we've somehow permitted to be protected by law.

Focus groups on inclusiveness in surgery conducted
IU School of Medicine • 3/1/19
Recently, Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Surgery has conducted three faculty focus groups exploring issues around inclusiveness in the department.
The discussion began with a review of current U.S. data that shows that women constitute 48 percent of medical students and 24 percent of surgery residents. In academic surgery, women make up 25 percent of the assistant professors, 17 percent of associate professors, 9 percent of professors and 5 percent of chairs. Among academic surgeons, 10.8 percent are Asian-Americans, 2.9 percent are African-Americans and 3.6 percent are Latino. The group explored a number of key questions such as:
What could we do to assure that all voices are heard in the Department of Surgery?
Are there policies, procedures or micro-aggressions that suggest discrimination against women or men and women of color in surgery and if so, how can we change this?
What specific ideas can we generate for increasing the number of women in leadership roles in surgery?
Is there any evidence of implicit or unconscious bias in surgery and if so, should we embark on bias training for all faculty?
How do we deal with the leadership challenge of preserving the culture by occasionally requiring some faculty to leave the department, while preserving the dignity of those asked to leave? How could we do this better?
A number of recommendations have come from these focus groups including the following:
With significant discrimination particularly against women residents and even junior faculty in the operating room, sessions should be incorporated into the Skills Laboratory curriculum that engages operating room circulators and scrub-nurses.
All leadership must be culturally intelligent as diversity increases innovation only in groups with culturally intelligent leadership.
As a way of assessing progress in recruitment of women and minorities, an excellent recruitment question to candidates would be "What have you heard about IU School of Medicine Department of Surgery in this regard?"
Increasing diversity in surgery will require more than policy and recruitment announcements and will require aggressive direct recruitment of individuals that will make us a more diverse group.
In an effort to advance cognitive diversity, leadership must value departmental contributions beyond Relative Value Units and National Institutes of Health grants, as this clearly places some at a disadvantage.
Perhaps the most important recommendation made during these focus groups was that the department needs to make a concerted effort to continue this discussion in meaningful ways. Faculty and residents are encouraged to suggest ways that we can keep this conversation going.

With more than 60 academic departments and specialty divisions across nine campuses and strong clinical partnerships with Indiana's most advanced hospitals and physician networks, Indiana University School of Medicine is continuously advancing its mission to prepare healers and transform health in Indiana and throughout the world.
