One of my day jobs involves working with special needs children and children in hospital. I do a lot of work with children on the autistic spectrum and children with learning difficulties, as well as with at-risk youth and kids with chronic illnesses. One of my absolute favourite things to do is introduce these children to photography. Not only do I enjoy sharing my passion but for a lot of the children I work with it is a unique way for them to express some creativity.
1. Don't rush out and buy a new camera for your child's first attempt. You've probably got an old camera somewhere, it doesn't matter if it's a film camera or an early digital camera with 2 MP, as long as it works it'll do. If your child shows interest for more than a week or so then the chances are a new camera just for him will be used and appreciated (check out John's post for ideas on which camera to buy). If the old camera is lying underneath that never-opened board game and once-used pair of roller blades from last Christmas, then it's probably best to wait a few months and try again. Even if you just use an old camera and end up abandoning the project don't forget to teach your child how to care for the camera (keep it switched off in it's case when not in use, don't touch the lens, use the wrist/neck strap) but don't freak him out by telling him it's really expensive and he better be careful. A better idea is not to equip him with a camera you'll be angry about if it does get damaged.
2. Get back to basics. You might know about f-stop numbers, aperture, and depth of field but your child probably doesn't even know how to hold a camera correctly. Start simple. Show her how to hold the camera so a blurry finger won't appear in every shot. Explain how to open/close the shutter (or use the lens cap if the camera has one) and use the view finder and LCD screen. If your child is under 6 this is probably enough information, any more and they'll tune out and be bored before they start. For older kids a quick explanation of the flash and zoom features can be included.
3. For their first foray into photography just let them go ahead and shoot. This will allow them to get familiar with the camera and also to take photos of the things they think are important (often toys, pets, and their bedroom will feature prominently) rather than things you tell them would look nice in a photo. A digital camera has the advantage of allowing a child to see the photos right away and removes the cost of processing film. But many children enjoy taking the film to a photo lab and then holding real photos in their hands (it often feels more like they've created something if they can hold it), so don't be afraid to try a film camera. If you go with a digital camera put a small memory card in so that they're limited to 20 or 30 shots (equivalent to one roll of film).
4. When you have plenty of time to sit down with your child, get the photos and look through them with him. Before you say anything remember that photography (like all art) is subjective. Just because it's not what you would have done doesn't mean it's wrong. Try and find something positive to say, even if he's taken 25 photos of a matchbox car. If he has taken lots of photos of the same thing, as him if he wished he'd had more film/memory so he could photograph some other things too. If the answer is yes it's a good time to discuss decision-making and using limited resources (don't just hand him a larger memory card, try and encourage him to be selective about what he photographs. Then later if he's taking 25 photos of different things or using different perspectives and still feels he needs more shots you can give him the larger card to work with). And if he says no, at least you know those matchbox cars are really important to him!
5. Get some books or find some child-friendly web sites that showcase photography. Or better yet find a local photography exhibit or gallery and take a trip to see finished, framed photos. Try and look at a variety of different styles with you child and discuss which ones you and she like and dislike. Then discuss some of the different techniques used (tailor the language and detail to your child's age level and attention span) and point out things like the angle, focus, distance, and framing.
6. Plan a photography outing either as a family, with friends, or just you and your child. You don't have to go far, the beach, a playground, a hiking trail, or the zoo are all good places to try (although if you choose the beach be wary of cameras and water!). Encourage your child to photograph different things, landscapes, people, animals, and from different perspectives. Set and example yourself by photographing a variety of scenes and getting down on your knees or standing on a bench to try different angles. Most importantly, have fun and don't forget to let you child share her finished photos with other people (her friends, grandparents, etc).
7. Remember not rush this. If you really want your child to enjoy photography and be able to express himself though it then it needs to be an ongoing process. Trying to cram the whole learning experience into one day isn't going to work. This is something you can re-visit and build on as he grows older and can learn new skills and techniques. And don't forget all kids go through phases so if the camera sits unused for a few weeks or months don't try to force him to use it, instead plan another photography outing for a time when you think he might be ready to try again (try going somewhere you haven't been for a while so he has new things to photograph). Or encourage him to use his previous photos in an art project, or make an album with them, seeing his work might remind him how much fun he had and prompt him to pick up the camera again.

St Albans Sustainability Festival launch petition urging council to declare climate emergency

Catherine Ross, trustee of Sustainable St Albans. Picture: Submitted by Sustainable St Albans
A petition urging St Albans to take drastic action against global warming has been created by eco-friendly groups as part of the Sustainability Festival 2019.
Festival charity organiser Sustainable St Albans, together with St Albans Friends of the Earth, are asking for public support in demanding St Albans district council (SADC) declare a climate emergency.
The groups say once this has happened, the district can work towards becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
It says: "People expect an emergency announcement when there is a life-threatening situation, and will hesitate to take any action themselves if nobody else appears to be taking the threat seriously.
"Think of a fire alarm. People might initially think it is just a drill, and will ignore it if everyone else does. But as soon as someone who is considered to be a leader says the fire is indeed real and points out the safest exit to use, everyone will drop what they are doing and evacuate.
"So declaring a climate emergency is a vital first step. It will empower our community, encourage others to follow suit, and help all of us treat the climate crisis as the existential emergency that it is."
It lists other authorities which have taken this step, including Bedford Borough Council, Devon County Council, City of York Council, Oxford City Council, and Milton Keynes Council.
A recent United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report said humanity has a little over a decade to reverse global warming before it cannot stop the floods, droughts, extreme heat and poverty.
Trustee of Sustainable St Albans, Catherine Ross, said: "Responding to this climate emergency, which will affect us and our children for generations to come, is a non-party-political issue.
"It requires cooperation and collaboration across party lines. Dozens of councils around the country have already declared climate emergencies, as have MPs in the UK Parliament, and the Welsh assembly.
"We want our St Albans district council to play its part too."
More than 200 people have already signed the petition. If it reaches 500 supporters, it will be debated at an SADC full council meeting.
St Albans resident Anna Hardist said: "I hope local sixth formers and students all sign.
"The petition calls for carbon neutrality by 2030; ambitious but not out of reach.
"Everyone who signs it is calling on the St Albans council to act and use their power to make decisions that will benefit us, and all those that follow."
The 20-year-old studies physics at the University of Warwick.
Anna added: "It is time to do what the generations before us failed to do - create a sustainable future for our world."
According to its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report, SADC has reduced its overall emissions by 19 per cent between 2008 and 2018.
By signing the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change in 2006, SADC committed to reducing emissions by three per cent every year and aim to achieve a 60 per cent reduction by 2025.
Portfolio holder for the environment at SADC, Frances Leonard, was contacted for comment.

This comes as part of the St Albans Sustainability Festival 2019, which runs from May 11 to June 1.
Events are taking place all over the district, including St Albans, Harpenden, and the surrounding villages.

Harbour finances make grim reading
2 weeks ago Chris Cornford
The finances of some of the Isle of Wight's harbours have been drastically hit by Covid-19. With fewer visitors, the loss of berthing income and lockdown to contend with, harbours controlled by the Isle of Wight Council are looking at a forecasted overspend in their annual budget of £119,134.
Speaking at a meeting of the council's harbour committee, Alex Minns, assistant neighbourhoods director, said the two main income-generating harbours, Newport and Ryde, had seen a substantial loss of income from berthing (which was to be expected). In total, a budget overspend of £69,837 is predicted with nearly £41,500 being lost from a loss of service down the River Medina at the Folly berths.
An overspend at Newport Harbour of £16,304 for supplies and services was down to legal fees, Mr Minns said, as the council try to push through the Harbour Revision Order with the Marine Management Organisation which has taken over a year to determine.
The loss of tourists has meant the income budgeted for Ryde Harbour this financial year has seen a downturn of £26,857 from moorings alone. Altogether, an overspend of £32,371 is forecasted for the harbour.
At Ventnor Harbour, £15, 231 of the £16,926 total overspend was caused by a higher than expected cost of seaweed removal. Mr Minns said work was ongoing to try and bring down the contract cost.
Questioning whether the forecasts were accurate, Cllr Brian Tyndall, now the council's cabinet member for corporate resources, said the finances were 'grim and getting grimmer' when it was confirmed.
Mr Minns said the main loss was over the summer when there were fewer visitors so the financial predictions were 'fairly accurate' and done each month to provide the most up-to-date picture.

Ovechkin, Samsonov lead Capitals over Hurricanes
The loss snapped Carolina's three-game winning streak

WASHINGTON, D.C. — By now, it almost seems like no big deal when Alex Ovechkin reaches another milestone.
Ovechkin scored two first-period goals Monday night and moved into 11th place on the NHL's career list, leading the Washington Capitals to a 2-0 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
The 34-year-old superstar passed Teemu Selanne and closed within four goals of Mario Lemieux (690) for 10th place.
"I thought tonight was his best game in a while," Washington coach Todd Reirden said. "He knew tonight was an important game for us, so I thought you saw him go to a different level. To me that's Alex Ovechkin. For our team, knew we needed something extra from our team tonight and I thought he had a standout game."
Ovechkin was happier with another milestone — the first career shutout for rookie goalie Ilya Samsonov, who stopped 23 shots.
"Sammy did a great job today and kept us in the game with some big saves," Ovechkin said.
Samsonov improved to 13-2-1. He's won eight straight games and hasn't lost since Nov. 15.
And while Samsonov has played brilliantly, veteran Braden Holtby still plays twice as often as the rookie.
"I think we have the best two goalies in the league right now and I think we can see when they feel comfortable, when they feel good, we feel the same," Ovechkin said.
The victory broke the Capitals' two-game skid and the Hurricanes' three-game winning streak. Carolina posted shutouts in its previous two games.
Petr Mrazek made 28 saves for the Hurricanes, but coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't feel with a two-goal deficit Carolina was going to be able to challenge Washington.
"It was 2-0, but it didn't feel like we were going to have very much push," Brind'Amour said. "It felt like we were a little gassed. It might be that time of year where it's starting to catch up to you. That's how it felt."
The first goal was the 685th for Ovechkin, moving him past Selanne. It came at 11:58 of the first period.
Ovechkin's second goal at 17:01 was his 28th of the season and gave him seven multi-goal games in 2019-20.
"Everything just seems normal with him sometimes, just because he is passing someone and he is always climbing some leader board or what have you," Capitals defenseman John Carlson said. "Maybe you get dull to it a little bit, but certainly some special names that are close and when you look back at it, I think it will be a lot more meaningful for him as well. But it doesn't take anything away from him and what he has done and accomplished."
Washington led after one period for the first time in the last 14 games, but in the second period was outshot 10-5. The Capitals committed three penalties in the period and killed off each one.
"Samsonov was outstanding when he was tested," Reirden said. "The confidence he's playing with certainly allows your penalty kill to be a little bit more aggressive because you know if you have a breakdown that he's going to be rock-solid back there."
The Capitals had a chance to increase their lead when they had a two-man advantage for 45 seconds in the third period, but couldn't score.
It was the first shutout of the season for Washington.
NOTES: Carolina forward Justin Williams, signed as a free agent on Jan. 7, did not dress but participated in the morning skate. … Hurricanes D Jaccob Slavin played in his 349th consecutive game, tying Eric Staal for the second-longest streak in franchise history. … Capitals forward Tom Wilson played in his 500th career game. He assisted on Ovechkin's first goal. … Ovechkin has 139 multi-goal games in his career. … Selanne sent a congratulatory video message to Ovechkin that was played on the video board.
Hurricanes: Visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.
Capitals: Host the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.

It has been two years since Vishal Sikka took over as CEO of one of India's most admired companies.
During this time, the former SAP CTO has revitalized Infosys and infused a new transformational vision. There's been clear evidence of success, but two downward revisions in revenue guidance in three months has shaken some of the confidence of industry analysts.
In an exclusive interaction with TOI immediately after the announcement of the second quarter results, Sikka spoke about the challenges and a slew of other matters.
What is happening to the industry? Everybody seems to be struggling. Just six months ago there was so much more optimism.
There is a fundamental change happening in the industry and that change is not only very visible but it has reached a very large scale - and this is pricing pressure, and higher frequency of rebids and rate cuts. That is reflective of a very pervasive and accelerating commoditization of the work that we are doing.
So as I have been saying for the last two years, there is only one answer to that we cannot outpace this downward spiral, so we have to create an upward spiral. And that is, we have to embrace automation and innovation.
It's a very simple duality and all the work that we do can be automated. We have to embrace AI (artificial intelligence), and with that improved productivity, we have to outpace the downward spiral. It's going to be a very difficult transformation and it's going to be very tough for the industry.
If you look at the innovators' dilemma and these kinds of theories on disruption, what happens is there is a cash cow highmargin business where the company has been successful at, and disruption shows up in new ways of addressing that market which is at a completely different price point and is growing rapidly. So how do companies deal with that?
They squeeze more profits out of the existing cash cow business to fund the new areas. In our case, the cash cow business itself is under margin pressure, so that makes this transformation doubly complex.
I don't think people realize that it is not going to be easy to get out of this. The only answer to this is automation. I believe we (Infosys) are ahead of others in this.
From a cultural standpoint, this requires a dual change - you need teams to embrace automation and, with improved productivity, they have to become innovative. So they have to go away from the cost-oriented people-only model to a people-plus-software model.
What has compounded things for us is that recently a couple of service lines have not transformed as quickly as we wanted them to, especially consulting and BPO.
These are areas not that large in the grand scheme of things, but they play an important part in near-term revenue outlook. When I think about the renew part of our strategy, it's awesome.
Our core services have been improving significantly .The adoption of new areas in the company - Skava (digital services), Mana (AI platform) and Edge (cloud-based applications) - has happened extremely well.
In consulting, we had two parts - there was the homegrown consulting business in the Americas, and the consulting business we bought in Europe through Lodestone four years ago.
But they were never integrated with each other or the rest of the company. So cracks emerged in the last few quarters.
Every company needs advise on how digital transformation will change their future. For us, the mechanism of delivering that is consulting. For the last year-and-a-half or so, we have had this strategy tip of the sphere and design thinking-led transformation of clients in consulting. That's a huge transformation and in Europe, our ability to execute that has not been good. It will take some 2-4 quarters (to turn things around in Europe).
Didn't fully understand the problem in consulting. Can you elaborate?
The Lodestone part of consulting is very specific - it is a packaged system and programme management type consulting. Transforming from that to a package-independent design-thinking (a formal method for practical, creative resolution of problems) led strategic consulting and helping bring in the rest of Infosys's services, that is simply not what people have done.
We have seen significant attrition from the founding team and others from Lodestone, and just that operational situation has delayed the transformation of the overall consulting business.
This is a 3,500-plus person organization. We just don't want to stabilize the revenue, but we want to get to a point where consulting becomes the front of our company.
Our customers are becoming digital, and even in the physical spaces, the role of AI and all these truly transformation technologies are taking shape. Something like 168 of the Fortune 500 have gone out of the Fortune 500 in the last ten years. All of them had consulting budgets and big innovation departments.
Alan Kay (computer scientist) says that in life we should not re-invent the wheel, we should especially not reinvent a flat tyre. Our endeavour is not to get back to a consulting organization the way other consultants were ten years ago. We want to transform ourselves into a new kind of consulting organization.
You have revised the annual revenue guidance downwards twice this fiscal. Has Infosys's forecasting ability diminished?
Unlike many of our competitors, we provide a guidance, and we do that because we believe it minimizes the asymmetry of information in the market.
Today in an analyst call, one of them gave me a succinct and nice way to put it - say it as you see it. Which is what we have done.
At the beginning of the year, we saw a vastly different scenario and we didn't anticipate there would be a significant decline in consulting. We didn't anticipate the BPO revival would be slow.
We have had changes in the leadership in both the organizations. On top of that, Royal Bank of Scotland happened (cancellation of a major contract) and because of Brexit, a few of the European banks had had an impact.
Our kind of companies tend to over-emphasize the impact of macroeconomic forces on our work. But when you already have a relationship with a client, and they have significant issues, it ends up ramping down and that has an immediate impact.
In our world, ramp ups are slower while ramp downs are immediate. At the same time, I want to say the fundamentals of what we are executing on has improved.
For instance, the contribution of our Zero Distance (bringing innovation to every project in progress) and Zero Bench (an internal marketplace to provide people on the bench with short-term engagements in clients' and internal projects) to revenues and utilization is palpable.
More than a 1,000 freshers came into the workforce because of projects on Zero Bench. We saved 2,400 jobs because of our efforts around automation.
The Rajiv Bansal episode continues to be a black box. Infosys did not give out any reasons as to why it stopped payments to him. (Bansal, the former CFO, was given a big severance amount when he left the company in October last year. There are reports that a part of the payment has now been withheld).
There is no concern and the company has done absolutely nothing wrong, Rajiv was a great colleague and for a variety of reasons, things did not work between him and the company. It is board matter and I would not like to comment on the matter anymore.
There is also the perception that company founders and CEO are not on the same page on several matters.
Not at all. Mr Murthy is a huge supporter and I am a great fan of him. I meet him once in a while. He is an incredible man and people in the corporate world and media may not believe the sort of conversations we have around physics and computer science.
I am fortunate to have a close relationship with him. He never interferes in what I do though he does give advice when I ask and it is a good thing to have a different perspective.
There have been murmurs of discontent on the appointment of Punita Sinha (wife of minister of state Jayant Sinha) and now DN Prahlad (a distant relative of Narayana Murthy) as independent directors, and on your compensation. People don't expect Infosys to get into controversies like these. It is regarded as the gold standard in corporate governance.
Prahlad is a technical person and deeply understands software. He has a deep understanding of what I am trying to do - a transformation to value-oriented and innovation-oriented delivery , from a people-oriented approach.
The benefit is, he has a deep connection to the way the company used to be during its early years (he worked at Infosys in its early years). He is an adviser to IISc (Indian Institute of Science) on automation and it is awesome that he is on the Infosys board.
This is absolutely wrong. We have to evolve as a society where we transcend these things and respect her for what she is. She is the wife and daughter-in-law of a political family, but so what?
We tend not to look at things holistically but rather from a skewed perspective. I have spent time with her and it is incredibly insulting what you hear (about her).
She has a great academic background, lives in Boston and it is sad people are questioning her. Nobody expects that she has values of her own. She has an incredible investment background and her fund had the largest holdings of Infosys. From the board side, her appointment was a no brainer.
As part of some of these issues, there has also been talk about the clash of values - of those of the promoters and the current board.
Values and traditions are not static and they change. One has to look at our values and culture in the context we are in. When we talk about our strategy, people say it is renew and new. It is actually renew, new and culture. It has to be a duality of renew and new that is carried out in the context of culture and that culture includes values in a deep way.
Renew is about being better at the business we know and new is about doing things we never did before. Culture is not about staying true but being true. Else you stay wherever you are. Being true is being who you are. This means you have to reimagine, reinterpret and reinvent to continue to be true to the timeless principle you are in.
It cannot be that we continue to do things like we did in the 1980s and 1990s. I came back to India for the deep appreciation of how Infosys is different compared to other companies. Else it would have been insane.
I did not even understand how business is done here. But the utmost adherence to integrity and governance is the reason I am here. I live in a different time zone and still get the job done because of the faith in the framework of the company.

Malaco Records » Artists » Gospel » Evelyn Turrentine-Agee
Evelyn Turrentine-Agee
Known as the "Queen of Quartet," Evelyn Turrentine-Agee is an award-winning gospel singer with a special place in her heart for the traditional gospel vocal harmony sound.
She was born Ruth Evelyn Tyler in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 4, 1946. She made her public singing debut at age three, performing alongside her quartet-singing father. As a teenager, she sang with two different family groups: the Tyler Singers and the all-female Tylerettes. After marrying and moving to Detroit in 1962, Evelyn joined the Gospel Echoettes, but their work was halted when a car accident killed their manager. Evelyn and other group members organized a new group called the Gospel Warriors and recorded the original version of God Did It. When Evelyn decided to go solo, the Gospel Warriors became her accompanying singers.
In 1992, Evelyn recorded her first national solo project, In God's Own Time, for CGI/A&M Records. After several years of absence from the gospel music spotlight, Evelyn and the Warriors returned in early 2000 with God Did It. The performing rights organization BMI named the title track the most performed urban gospel song in 2001, and the album stayed on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart for more than 30 weeks. This activity prompted a follow-up in 2002, Testimony: God Did It Live!, and the long form video Live in Detroit.
Atlanta International Records signed Evelyn in 2002, and her 2003 album for the label, It's Already Done, featured a hip-slapping title track that became an audience favorite. The album earned Evelyn a 2004 Stellar Award for Traditional Female Vocalist of the Year.
More albums followed. In 2005, Evelyn released Go Through on Light Records. The year 2008 witnessed Double Exposure, a two-CD set on her own WOS (War On Sin) imprint. There's Gonna Be a Meeting was released by Shanachie Records in 2010 and Born to Worship and One More Day for Ophir Gospel Records in 2013 and 2015, respectively.
Although a soloist, Evelyn's style is firmly rooted in the traditional quartet style. She can sing just as hard and as passionately as any male quartet lead. Examples of her powerhouse singing can be heard on singles such as God Did It, It's Already Done, Work It Out and Go Through.
Evelyn has also hosted her own radio show, the God Did It Radio Broadcast, and in 2008 became hostess of her own TV talk show, Reel Talk. She has received many awards and nominations, including two Stellar Awards, multiple Stellar nominations, a Soul Train Lady of Soul nomination and Favorite Female Vocalist from the American Gospel Quartet Convention.
But just as important has been Evelyn's service to humankind. This includes founding the Love Center in Detroit to help at-risk youth; organizing the Phenomenal Women Network; and starting the War on Sin Choir to unify youth and adults in music ministry.
It's Already Done


I know many of you have seen this, but my Mom shared it with me (thank you, Mom!) and once again it made me smile. I've added a few notes of my own. I hope you enjoy!
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle income family. Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition. But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down.
Still, you might think the best financial advice is ; don't have children if you want to be 'rich.' Actually, it is just the opposite.
What do you get for your $160,140..00?
* Glimpses of God every day..
* More love than your heart can hold….I love my children so much it makes my heart hurt.
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh and sing the Winnie the Pooh song!
* watch Saturday morning cartoons or Noggin anytime!
* wish on stars while laying in the hammock.
You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
* coaching a baseball or basketball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
* F irst time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren. You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match. In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.
That is quite a deal for the price!!!!!!!
I love being a Mommy. It's the best job I've ever had. Thank you, Rhett (and Dr. Miller!) for making me a Mom and thank you Reece, Garett, Logan, Harry, Chloe, Bella, Humphrey, Stephanie and Stitch for KEEPING me in a job! The benefits are ENDLESS!!
Queen of the I LOVE Being a Mommy Club!
I'm a SAHM mother of 4 who loves nothing better than to spend the day with all of her Boys! I'm living out my dream being the hands-on Mommy I've always wanted to be!


As the nursery rhyme goes, that little blue whale with the little blue tale captured the heart of this little sailor. What better way to celebrate his 1st birthday bash than this theme? Filled with red, blue and white elements, every corner of Freyden's party looks totally fun. From the light house to the buoy, Styled by Deiz even threw in some safety ring and anchor to complete the set. Together with Party Doll Manila Events, both creative teams made this adventure possible for everyone to enjoy. Well let's take a quick peek on Freyden's whale-tastic adventure wonderfully captured by Rio Jones Photography. Welcome aboard!
Let's sea-lebrate! Every guest was welcomed by this adorable entrance setup. Those ship wheels and anchors on the side seemed so real they gave the visitors the nautical feel.
Ceiling drapes and paper lanterns in blue, red and white made it possible to have a cruise ship ambiance inside the clubhouse.
Freyden's stage set-up looks fantastic! From the smallest to the biggest detail, there's every bit of a nautical theme through and through. Check out the life-sized sailor right in the middle, how cute is he?
The anchor along with the prearranged white and light blue flowers made their table setup look elegant. Not to mention the cute and eye-catching blue and white lighthouse to boot. Clean and simple, just the way I like it.
A 3 layer fondant cake designed in nautical colors, how lovely is Freyden's 1st birthday cake? From the kitchen of Sweet Creations by Mums, be sure to check out the extra details they put to make it even more special.
And the best area of every party, the dessert tablescape! Tempting and jaw dropping, the combination of colors, shapes and designs of each dessert would make you think twice if you would want to eat them or just keep staring at them. I'd definitely grab a piece or two of these whale cakepops that come complete with a sailor hat!
I'm sure everyone enjoyed putting their best "say cheeeeese" smile as they happily took photos here at Freyden's wonderfully styled photo wall.
As a way of saying "Thank you!" to friends who joined his first birthday bash, our little sailors received a blue nautical bag all packed with more goodies.
I didn't want to end the post without a special fambam snap. To Freyden, let your dreams set sail and may your dreams all come true.

Quicksilver's Stile Moderno examines modern music as it was invented by virtuoso instrumental composers in 17th-century Italy. It is also an exploration of those composers' new invention, the sonata: a pure instrumental work, with no agenda but the imagination of the composer. Led by co- directors and violin virtuosi Julie Andrijeski and Robert Mealy, this program of "new music" is virtuosic, experimental, unexpected, and deeply moving. Music by Castello, Fontana, Merula, Marini and more.
Violinist Julie Andrijeski will give a pre-concert talk at 7:00 PM at which she will discuss Stile Moderno vs. Stile Antico, typical instrument combinations, and Quicksilver's approach to playing this music.

Franklin D. Roosevelt tells all, before he dies. Incredible! Simple World ~wikipedi
2017-Oct-13-11:22 pm (This post was last modified: 2018-Apr-16-1:38 am by Desmond.)
Franklin D. Roosevelt tells all, before he dies Incredible world news
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (/ˈroʊzəvəlt/;[1] January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), commonly known as FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and emerged as a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century. Roosevelt directed the United States federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the New Deal Coalition, realigning American politics into the Fifth Party System and defining American liberalism throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II. He is often rated by scholars as one of the three greatest U.S. Presidents, along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Man's enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself.

Despite a crushing loss yesterday in the Rome quarterfinals to Stan Warwrinka, who he led 62 in the first set tiebreaker, Rafael Nadal is still trying to remain positive ahead of the biggest event of the year for the Spaniard.
"The only thing that I am sure of is I'm going to try," said Nadal. "The goal in Paris will always be the same one. I feel I'm playing well. I am confident that if I am able to play without nerves – I didn't play with nerves today, I didn't play with nerves most of the time the last three weeks, and that's the most important thing for me.
Nadal will go into the French Open seeded no higher than No. 7 (No. 8 if David Ferrer beats Novak Djokovic today), which could put him against a Big 3 in the quarterfinal.
"I'm going to be ranked lower than ever playing Roland Garros, so that will mean the chance to play against very tough opponents," Nadal said. "At the same time, if I go to Roland Garros and I lose and I don't play well, life continues. It's not the end of the world.
Nadal is 17-5 this year on the clay, which is more than he lost from 2006-2010.
This is also the first time since 2004 Nadal goes into the French Open without a European clay title on the season.
The French Open begins a week from tomorrow.
There ya go. Big court, high bounce…..and slow.
They call that "Rafa" conditions. All advantage to Nadal. There in lies some of reason he's won it 9 times.
^ so a player who excels in a event may do so because of favourable conditions? Dont lie to us now Sherlock. There I was thinking novak excelled at AO not USO because he liked the crowd. That Federer excelled moreso at Wimbledon not USO because he's fond of the colour green. Such a revelation, lol.
Court conditions are way different than crowd conditions. Never heard a player the reason he is winning depends on the crowd, wtf?
Colors don't matter either (unless it is blue).
As far as I can remember AO champ is cursed to lose at Roland Garros. Remember 2009??
Lol. Just heard Mirka is not expected to attend fed v Wawa match tonite.
Is that Mirka- Wawa tiff still going on? Thought that was over with and there is no more dispute.
Who can dismiss outright the chances of a 9 time Champion ? Rafa is in with a chance definitely but this time around he is not the strong favourite to win the title.
I thought Nadal might have an outside chance of retaining RG until I saw the Wawrinka match – he was looking breathless after fairly straightforward rallies! I've also never seen him mis-time as many shots – he looks a shadow of his former self.
I just can't see that he's in condition to win the best of 5 sets against the big hitters – I believe an underlying physical issue is hindering his fitness levels. We saw the same thing with Federer in 2013 and Murray last year.

Authorizations to Be Used at Other Hospitals or Institutions
Other hospitals, medical centers, institutions or clinics will likely have their own HIPAA authorization forms. Those forms should be used at the other sites, just as the UCSF form must be used at UCSF.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), also known as "The Privacy Rule," set standards and regulations to protect patients from inappropriate disclosures of their protected health information (PHI) that could cause harm to their insurability, employability and/or their privacy.
HIPAA allows for researchers to access and use PHI when necessary to conduct research. Not all research is subject to HIPAA regulations; HIPAA only affects research that uses, creates or discloses PHI. Review the sections below and visit the UCSF HIPAA website for more info.
What is PHI?
Protected health information (PHI) is any information in the medical record or designated record set that can be used to identify an individual and that was created, used or disclosed in the course of providing a health care service such as diagnosis or treatment.
HIPAA defines 18 specific identifiers that create PHI when linked to health information. HIPAA regulations allow researchers to obtain approval to access and use PHI when necessary to conduct research.
Examples of studies that involve the use of PHI:
Studies that involve the review of existing health records, such as retrospective chart review or other studies that involve the abstraction of data from the subject's health record for research purposes.
Studies that create new medical information because a health care service is being performed as part of research. For example, most studies that diagnose a health condition or involve new drugs or devices create PHI that will be entered into the medical record.
What is the list of 18 identifiers?
HIPAA defines 18 specific identifiers that create PHI when linked to health information:
Names;
All geographical subdivisions smaller than a State, including street address, city, county, precinct, zip code, and their equivalent geocodes, except for the initial three digits of a zip code, if according to the current publicly available data from the Bureau of the Census: (1) The geographic unit formed by combining all zip codes with the same three initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; and (2) The initial three digits of a zip code for all such geographic units containing 20,000 or fewer people is changed to 000.
All elements of dates (except year) for dates directly related to an individual, including birth date, admission date, discharge date, date of death; and all ages over 89 and all elements of dates (including year) indicative of such age, except that such ages and elements may be aggregated into a single category of age 90 or older;
Phone numbers;
Fax numbers;
Electronic mail addresses;
Social Security numbers;
Medical record numbers;
Health plan beneficiary numbers;
Account numbers;
Certificate/license numbers;
Vehicle identifiers and serial numbers, including license plate numbers;
Device identifiers and serial numbers;
Web Universal Resource Locators (URLs);
Internet Protocol (IP) address numbers;
Biometric identifiers, including finger and voice prints;
Full face photographic images and any comparable images; and
Any other unique identifying number, characteristic, or code (note this does not mean the unique code assigned by the investigator to code the data)
There are also additional standards and criteria to protect individual's privacy from re-identification. Any code used to replace the identifiers in datasets cannot be derived from any information related to the individual and the master codes, nor can the method to derive the codes be disclosed. For example, the unique code cannot include the last four digits (in sequence) of the social security number. Additionally, the researcher must not have actual knowledge that the research subject could be re-identified from the remaining identifiers in the PHI used in the research study. In other words, the information would still be considered identifiable is there was a way to identify the individual even though all of the 18 identifiers were removed.
What is not PHI?
Some research studies do not use, create or disclose PHI and are not subject to HIPAA regulations.
For example, some studies use individually identifiable health information that includes personal identifiers such as name, date of birth or address. However, it is not considered to be PHI because the data are not (i) obtained or generated as part of a health care service (treatment, payment, operations, medical records), (ii) entered into a medical record, or (iii) used to make treatment decisions.
Examples of studies that use research health information only and are not subject to HIPAA:
Studies that obtain data from subjects during interviews or surveys, and the investigators do not review or alter the subjects' health records or make treatment decisions as part of the research.
Studies that obtain data from records open to the public or existing research records.
Studies that use tests that do not go into the medical record because they are part of a basic research study and the results will not be disclosed to the subject.
Also, health information by itself without the 18 identifiers is not considered to be PHI. For example, a dataset of vital signs by themselves do not constitute protected health information. However, if the vital signs dataset includes medical record numbers, then the entire dataset must be protected since it contains an identifier.
Data that is not subject to HIPAA is generally still regulated by other human subjects protection regulations. Please protect and manage the data with the same level of data security and care as PHI.
Does HIPAA apply to my research?
The chart below summarizes to which studies HIPAA regulations may apply. There may be exceptions to these very general guidelines.
Study data are ...
Derived from a medical record.
Added to the hospital or clinical medical record.
Created or collected as part of health care.
Used to make health care decisions.
HIPAA regulations apply.
Study data are only ...
Obtained from the subject, including interviews, questionnaires.
Obtained from a foreign country or countries only.
Obtained from records open to the public.
Obtained from existing research records.
HIPAA regulations do not apply.
If HIPAA applies, how do I obtain approval to use and/or disclose PHI from research subjects?
The IRB will act as a Privacy Board (required by HIPAA) to review the use and disclosure of PHI. The IRB will determine whether you can access PHI by one or both methods:
The research subject (or legal representative, when approved) signs the UCSF Subject Authorization for Release of PHI for Research or SF VAMC Authorization for Release of PHI for Research to grant permission to use PHI for research.
The IRB grants a waiver of authorization for the entire study or for recruitment purposes only.
Your approval letter will identify which method(s) the IRB approved.
Research Aspects of HIPAA Tutorial (UCSD): Investigators, research staff, coordinators and administrators who need to know HIPAA research procedures should take this tutorial.
The UC San Diego (UCSD) Human Subjects Protection Program developed this training and made it available to the research community at all the UC Medical Centers. It is targeted to research investigators, but anyone interested may complete the training. After you finish the tutorial, you will receive a completion certificate.
Tracking: Individual departments are required to track the HIPAA training for their staff. The IRB does not track HIPAA training, although it does expect researchers to complete training. Do not submit HIPAA training certificates to the IRB.
Non-Research HIPAA Training: There are other non-research-related HIPAA training requirements for members of the UCSF workforce, which are tracked and managed by the UCSF Privacy Office.
What is individually identifiable health information?
"Individually identifiable health information" is information, including demographic data, that relates to:
the individual's past, present or future physical or mental health or condition,
the provision of health care to the individual, or
the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual,
and that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe it can be used to identify the individual. Individually identifiable health information includes many common identifiers (e.g., name, address, birth date, medical record number).
What is the subject's authorization? What do I use at UCSF, SFVAMC, and other institutions or for sponsors?
The subject's authorization for release of personal health information is a required supplement to the standard consent form. It does not change any of the information or permissions described in the consent document.
The authorization form includes all of the elements required by the federal government. It describes the different ways that the researcher, research team and the research sponsor may use the subject's PHI for the research study. The subject grants their permission to access their information when they sign this subject authorization form.
UCSF: The University of California has developed the authorization form used at UCSF. All UCSF-affiliated research investigators obtaining subject authorization to use PHI in their studies must complete and use this form without altering the standard text in the form.
SFVAMC: The SFVAMC-specific authorization is required at that site. Therefore, if you are enrolling subjects at the SFVAMC and UCSF, you will use separate HIPAA authorizations at each site.
Other Sites: Other non-affiliated medical centers and institutions may require you to use their version of the authorization form to access their medical records. The authorization form originates from the covered entity that owns the PHI (usually medical records) for which you are requesting access. However, smaller clinics may accept the UCSF authorization in lieu of their own. You should determine in advance what the HIPAA authorization requirements would be for medical records access.
Sponsors: Industry sponsors may want you to use the sponsor's authorization form. At UCSF, research investigators will only be allowed to use UCSF authorization form (or SFVAMC form for research conducted there). Contact the IRB with questions about sponsor authorization forms.
Can I obtain verbal authorization?
Yes, but only if you have an IRB-approved waiver of authorization that waives the HIPAA requirement for a written authorization.
What is a waiver of authorization? How do I request a waiver?
A waiver of authorization may be granted in situations where an individual's authorization to access their PHI will not be obtained. The IRB may waive authorization for an entire study or just for recruitment purposes.
There are several types of research studies that may a need a waiver of authorization such as:
Reviews of medical records for data collection (chart reviews)
Access to databases that have PHI in them
Studies that access clinical databases, hospital medical records, appointment logs and other similar databases to identify potential subjects for recruitment or screening purposes
Studies that enroll subjects with verbal consent
Note: If the clinic has does not have an IRB-approved recruitment protocol, then each research study will have to obtain an IRB-approved waiver of authorization to screen the clinic's records for subjects for recruitment purposes. If these potential subjects are later enrolled in research studies, they must sign both the informed consent form and the authorization form.
The UCSF IRB, as the Privacy Board for research, is allowed to grant a waiver of authorization if it can certify that the research meets the following criteria:
The use or disclosure of PHI involves no more than a minimal risk to the privacy of individuals, based on, at least, the presence of the following elements:
an adequate plan to protect the identifiers from improper use and disclosure;
an adequate plan to destroy the identifiers at the earliest opportunity consistent with conduct of the research, unless there is a health or research justification for retaining the identifiers or such retention is otherwise required by law; and
adequate written assurances that the PHI will not be reused or disclosed to any other person or entity, except as required by law, for authorized oversight of the research project, or for other research for which the use or disclosure of protected health information would be permitted by this subpart;
The research could not practicably be conducted without the waiver or alteration; and
The research could not practicably be conducted without access to and use of the PHI.
The IRB will also expect the research to satisfy the current human subject protection regulations including that the waiver will not adversely affect the rights and welfare of the subject and that the risks are reasonable in relation to the anticipated benefits of the research. Requests for waiver of authorization must be submitted to the IRB and be approved prior to accessing the health information.
The IRB Application in iRIS includes questions to determine whether HIPAA authorization is required, or if a waiver of authorization can be granted for the entire study or for recruitment purposes only. The IRB approval letter will document these determinations.
Is IRB approval required for decedent research at UCSF?
It depends on whether PHI will be accessed and/or whether state, county or local death data files will be accessed, as both the federal and state privacy laws apply. See the FAQ section on the Research Needing IRB Review page for more information.
What is de-identified data?
HIPAA allows the patient information to be "…used and disclosed freely, without being subject to the Privacy Rule's protections" if has been de-identified. De-identified PHI has all identifying information removed but the data could be re-identified if necessary, usually through means of a code. This code cannot be derived from any of the elements removed during de-identification, e.g. a unique code cannot be created using the last four digits of a social security number.
However, the UC authorization for release of personal health information form does allow for the use of initials, date of birth and dates of medical care as "personally unidentified study data." Typically, this type of data is used in case report forms (CRF) for quality control purposes where the CRF is verified with the source documents, especially for sponsors.
There are two acceptable methods for creating de-identified data (PHI) including the removal of 18 primary and secondary identifiers from the dataset, or, using statistical methods of verifying that the data could not be used to re-identify a research subject. Additionally, the researcher must not have actual knowledge that the research subject could be re-identified from the remaining identifiers in the PHI used in the research study.
If you are working with a non-UCSF partner and you want to share your data, the UCSF Privacy office requires that your data are "certified," meaning your dataset is correctly de-identified. UCSF has a Data De-identification Validation Service that allows you to verify that your datasets have been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA regulations and obtain the required certification.
Some research involving only de-identified data is not human subjects research and does not require IRB review. This determination may depend on the source of the data, who de-identifies the data and the method(s) used to de-identify the data. Review the not human subjects research guidance to determine whether your study needs IRB review.
What specific identifiers must be removed to create de-identified data?
The 18 identifiers listed above must be removed for de-identification. If you are working with a non-UCSF partner and you want to share your data, the UCSF Privacy office requires that your data are "certified," meaning your dataset is correctly de-identified. UCSF has a Data De-identification Validation Service, which enables you to verify that your datasets have been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA regulations and obtain the required certification.
What is the statistical method of de-identification?
A statistical expert must certify that the risk is "very small" that anyone could re-identify the research subjects from the PHI identifiers used in the study. They must document the methods used to determine that data has been rendered de-identified. A statistical expert is someone with "appropriate knowledge and experience with statistical and scientific principles and methods for rendering information not individually identifiable".
What is a limited dataset?
A limited dataset is a limited set of identifiable information in which most of the identifiers for the individual, the individual's relatives, employers and household members have been removed. The only allowable health information identifiers are:
5 digit zip code (the 4 digit extension is not allowed)
dates of birth, death, admission, discharge
all geographic subdivisions other than street address
The advantages of using a limited dataset include that the disclosures are not subject to HIPAA accounting requirements and that an individual's authorization does not need to be obtained. However, you may be asked to sign a Data Use Agreement by the purchasing or contracts office of the university or other covered entities to give assurances that the information will be protected.
An IRB application is required for studies involving limited datasets.
Does HIPAA apply to my international study?
No. U.S. Federal laws do not apply to studies conducted in foreign countries. The standard methods of protecting confidentiality and privacy for research in human subjects still apply and you should have these in place. However, the research subjects do not need to sign an authorization to allow access to their PHI.
Can databases or registries be created under HIPAA?
Yes. HIPAA allows for the creation of databases for research purposes. A research database can be created without obtaining individual authorizations, but only with an IRB-approved waiver of authorization. The PHI maintained in the research database may be disclosed for future research studies if the investigator either obtains an individual's authorization or an IRB-approved waiver of authorization.
How do I protect the PHI in my study?
Investigators are advised to analyze the flow of PHI through their research projects and develop security policies for both electronic and hard copy PHI. Simple steps may be all that are required to accomplish the goals of tracking, recovery and security.
A tracking system is necessary to account for how the PHI is stored, used, and shared, e.g. flow of PHI through your project.
A recovery plan simply means having the capability to recover data if you lose your primary database for both your research and for HIPAA accountability of any PHI disclosures.
A security system that prevents inadvertent disclosure, loss or theft of PHI from your project is required. For example, to secure physical data, keep files in locked cabinets and locked offices/suites. See the Electronic Data Security section of our website and consult with your IT professional for more information on securing data electronically.
What is a privacy breach? What should I do if PHI may have been disclosed to unauthorized individuals?
A privacy breach refers to any unauthorized access to PHI and commonly (but not always) is related to electronic files or devices that contain PHI.
Contact the HIPAA Privacy Office (415-353-2750) and the IRB (415-476-1814) immediately if you are concerned that there may have been a breach of security for your research files. These offices will work with you to assess the situation to determine who else may need to be notified.
Common examples of breaches:
Talking to the wrong person or sending an email, letter or fax to the wrong address, person or number
Lost/stolen or improperly disposed paper documents
Lost/stolen unencrypted laptops, tablets, cell phones, media devices (video and audio recordings)
Lost/stolen unencrypted CDs, flash drives, memory sticks
Hacking of unprotected computer systems
Can I send PHI via email?
Please refer to the UCSF Privacy Office and ITS sites for guidance.
Can I send PHI via FAX?
Yes, but only to secured fax machines. Never fax information to an unsecured fax machine. A secured fax machine is one that is located in a restricted environment. Recommended best practices include:
Always check the destination fax number before faxing.
The first time you use a fax destination number, send a cover sheet requesting confirmation that the fax number is authorized to receive the PHI. After you receive the fax number confirmation, keep a copy in your files.
Use cover sheets containing the confidentiality statement:
This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information. Any unauthorized review, use, disclosure or distribution is prohibited. If you are not the intended recipient, please contact the sender by reply email and destroy all copies of the original message
Return items you receive that were faxed to the wrong location or improperly faxed and advise the sender of the error.
Do I need a Business Associate Attachment (BAA) for my research?
Maybe. If your research project will contract a vendor outside of UCSF for research-related goods or services and the vendor may potentially be exposed to PHI, then the vendor must have a BAA with UCSF before they begin.
Examples of such vendors include (but are not limited to) those that contract statistical services, data management, data hosting and data analysis. Equipment repair vendors that service machines that have PHI stored on them also need to have BAA in place. Additional examples are available on the Supply Chain Management website.
The BAA is between the vendor and UCSF, not between the vendor and the investigator. If your project will need this type of research service, you should contact your Purchasing Officer who then will negotiate the BAA on your behalf with the vendor (see these instructions).

The Donda West Law. Thank You Governor Schwarzenegger!
In response to the unexpected death of Kayne's mother, Donda West, a new law in her name will hopefully tame the cosmetic surgery circuit in California. One of the main highlights of this new law is that is is now mandatory for everyone to have a medical checkup before having any cosmetic operations. This will hopefully make it less likely for silent medical conditions, like coronary artery disease, to interrupt the usually pleasant and uneventful experience of elective plastic surgery.

More wind power ahead as Arab world looks to diversify its energy mix
August 29, 2017 reve
Solar power isn't the only form of renewable energy taking off in the Middle East. More wind projects are being tendered as the region looks to diversify its energy mix, according to Vestas, the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer.
"Everyone thinks about solar photovoltaic (PV) in the Middle East," said Rainer Karan, Mediterranean East general manager for Vestas. "As more studies are completed and discussions move forward, there's a high wind potential for the Middle East North Africa (Mena) region."
Countries are bulking up their renewable energy sources to meet a rise in demand for power as they free up hydrocarbons for export. With the pivot towards a more cost efficient energy mix, there have been world-record breaking prices of solar PV power plants. That shift began with the second phase of the Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum solar park in 2015.
Last year was the first time ever that solar power projects superseded all other forms of new capacity added for renewable energy generation. It increased by 32 per cent to 71 gigawatts (GW), according to Abu Dhabi-based International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena). Wind power followed, growing 12 per cent and added 51GW of new projects worldwide.
The wind sector leads ahead of solar by about 56 per cent or 467GW of installations globally.
The two forms of renewable energy can be used in tandem.

Reseña del editor This fully revised and updated second edition offers a holistic interpretation of the Greek crisis and how it has been reported around the world. Expanding on the original content it provides new analysis of international media coverage of the rise of Golden Dawn, the coming to power of Syriza and the growing threat of a Greek exit from the Eurozone. George Tzogopoulos details how American, British, French, German and Italian broadsheets and tabloids covered these events and explores the reporting of Russian and Chinese media as events in Greece are increasingly viewed as potential sources of concern and opportunity in those countries, as well as in the West. By placing the Greek experiences and treatment alongside those of other EU members such as Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain Tzogopoulos highlights the similarities and differences between how different countries are reported by the world's media and considers why these differences exist. Biografía del autor Dr George N. Tzogopoulos is research fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) in Athens where he also works as a journalist covering politics and international relations. He has cooperated with the European Council on Foreign Relations, Konrad Adenauer Foundation and Friedrich Ebert Foundation and is a regular contributor to international news agencies and media organisations such as Al-Jazeera, Associated Press, BBC, CCTV, France 24, Reuters, RAI, RTL and ZDF. Tzogopoulos' publications include the book US Foreign Policy in the European Media: Framing the Rise and Fall of Neoconservatism.
Greece has been the poster child for European economic crisis, but former Prime Minister George Papandreou wonders if it's just a preview of what's to come.
