First ever vet nurse appointed BSAVA regional chair and council representative
Emma Gerrard will represent the views of members in the Cymru/Wales region
The BSAVA has announced that, for the first time ever, a veterinary nurse has been appointed chair of a BSAVA Regional Committee and a council representative.
Emma Gerrard will take over from Kate O'Sullivan as chair of the Cymru/Wales region committee in April 2021. She has been a member of the committee since 2013 and has also served on the BSAVA Membership Development Committee. She also recently became the new Editor of the Pocketbook for Vet Nurses.
Ms Gerrard is a registered animal medicines advisor for companion and farm animals, a clinical coach and a tutor for Oncore.
In her role as a council representative she will ensure the views of members in the Cymru/Wales region are represented in council meetings and in discussions with Trustees and members of the Management Team at Woodrow House.
She said: "Being appointed the first VN Council Representative and Regional Chair is a massive achievement for myself and my nursing colleagues. It hasn't been possible for a VN to fill a Regional Officer role until now.
"I know how long and hard colleagues have worked in order to make this happen and, for that, I am grateful. As the Committee Chair, I would really like to fly the flag for nurses I hope to inspire and empower nurses to join the Association and illustrate what opportunities are available."
BSAVA president Professor Ian Ramsey said: "Nurses have already served the Association with distinction in many of our Committees for several years and this is another step towards recognising the importance of nurses within the veterinary team and therefore within the Association. I look forward to seeing more nurses coming forward to help shape the Association in the future."

Nutrition course joins Vet Nurse Merit Awards
Course will discuss the role of nutrition in life stage and clinic disease management.
A new nutrition course combining online lectures, practical teaching and variety of resources and quizzes has been added to the BSAVA's popular Veterinary Nurse Merit Awards (VNMA).
VNMA's are designed to offer RVNs in primary care practice the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills without the commitment of a certificate or diploma. To achieve an award, students must demonstrate their understanding of the subject through a final assessment.
Beginning in March 2021, the Nutrition VNMA will be led by Georgina Woods RVN who holds the Canine and Feline Veterinary Health Nutrition Certificate and the American Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) Nutrition Certificate. Following the completion of this course, delegates will be able to:
discuss methods of obtaining a thorough nutritional history, extracting all relevant clinical information and how to holistically appraise the situation
recognise the different techniques for building good communication with the pet owner and its importance for attaining compliance with your nutritional recommendation
discuss the role of nutrition in both life stage and clinic disease management, where nutrition will play a pivotal role
gain a more in-depth understanding for non-standard diets and how to manage differences of opinion
describe the many ways in which rabbit nutrition differs from that of the cat or dog, and how their anatomy relates to their different essential nutritional requirements.
BSAVA's head of education, Lucie Goodwin, said: "We are pleased to be able to add this important and highly topical course to our expanding repertoire of learning resources for RVNs. Practices really recognise the value of VNMAs and are continuing to send their nursing teams on multiple courses."
Upon completion of the course, RVNs will receive a BSAVA Veterinary Nurse Merit Award in Nutrition along with a certificate and badge. For further information visit the BSAVA's website or email courses@bsava.com

Virtual veterinary nursing ceremony to welcome new registrants
Event will celebrate newly-qualified VNs with presentations from VN Golden Jubilee Award winners.
More than 70 veterinary nurses (VNs) are set to be welcomed to the profession later this month in a special virtual ceremony hosted by the RCVS.
Taking place on Thursday, 12 November at 7.30 pm, the event will open with an address by VN Council chair Matthew Rendle and RCVS President Mandisa Greene, after which Matthew will take all the veterinary nurses present through their professional declarations.
In addition to reading out the names of all the new registrants, Mr Rendle will read out the names of 10 RVNs who will be collecting their Diplomas in Advanced Veterinary Nursing. Special recognition will also be paid to Liverpool RVN Judith Montgomery for her long-standing contribution to the profession.
Matthew Rendle said: "This will be my first formal event as Chair of VN Council and it's a great honour for me to be welcoming these newly trained veterinary nurses into our great profession and sharing with them my hopes and wishes for veterinary nurses and how they can play their part in its development and its future."
The event will include two speeches from previous recipients of the Veterinary Nursing Golden Jubilee Award – the highest honour that can be bestowed on an RVN by the College. Jane Devaney, who won the award in 2019, will speak about the development of her career in veterinary nursing, while 2014 award-winner Hayley Walters will discuss her international career, which involved nursing bears rescued from China's bear bile trade.
Matthew added: "Our guest speakers Jane and Hayley also demonstrate just how diverse a career veterinary nursing can be and that it can encompass teaching, mentoring, international outreach and clinical practice and I hope those attending will be inspired to think about all the different paths their veterinary nursing qualification can take them down."
The evening will conclude with an update on the VN Futures Initiative by RCVS Director of Veterinary Nursing Julie Dugmore. Julie will outline the project, which aims to identify and address the challenges veterinary nursing is likely to face over the coming years, and explain how the newly-qualified nurses can get involved.
To watch the event live visit the RCVS website. A recording of the ceremony will be made available for those who are unable to attend.
Blue Cross reveals its Vet Nurse of the Year
Blogger and RSPCA vet nurse awarded for dedication to animal welfare
Pet charity Blue Cross has named veterinary nurse Chloe Mackintosh as its 'Vet Nurse of the Year 2020', for her commitment to animal welfare and passion for charity work.
As well as working full-time as a veterinary nurse at RSPCA in Harmsworth, North London, Chloe Mackintosh assists in a range of fundraising activities and also runs a blog titled 'The Charity Vet Nurse'.

David Catlow, director of veterinary clinical services at Blue Cross said: "We are delighted to recognise the dedication and hard work Chloe puts into both her job and wider animal welfare.
"The Vet Nurse of the Year Award is to showcase those vet nurses who go above and beyond, and Chloe certainly meets this criteria. In what has been a really challenging year for all vet nurses across the UK, we congratulate Chloe on her much-deserved award."
Miss Mackintosh was presented with her award during a virtual awards ceremony, held on Saturday 10 October as part of the BVNA's This is Us event.
She said: "I was shocked to find out I had been nominated, and absolutely taken aback to find out in the same phone call I had won!
"It's such an honour to win something of this stature as the Blue Cross is a charity I admire immensely. My passion and niche is charity work and I really mean it when I say this has made my year."

Nominations open for Blue Cross 'Vet Nurse of the Year'
Award recognises RVNs who have gone 'above and beyond' the call of duty.
Nominations are now open for the Blue Cross 'Veterinary Nurse of the Year' award which pays recognition to the UK's veterinary nurses and the invaluable support they provide to their teams, clients and pets.
The award is bestowed to a veterinary nurse who not only cares for sick and injured pets but has also gone the extra mile to improve pet welfare in their community. It will be presented virtually to the winner during the BVNA's 'This is Us' event on Saturday 10 October.
Last year's award was won by deputy head nurse Danielle Pountain from Pool House Veterinary Hospital in Lichfield. Danielle commented: "I was overwhelmed to receive the call that I had been selected as the Blue Cross Vet Nurse of the Year.
"It felt like an unbelievable honour to have been considered worthy for an award for doing a job I love to do and I felt like being recognised for my achievements and contribution to veterinary nurses, validated all of my hard work, enthusiasm and dedication. I am grateful to everyone for giving me such a great title and award."
Anyone can make a nomination for veterinary nurse of the year, including pet owners and veterinary practices. David Catlow, Blue Cross director of veterinary clinical services, said:
"With vet practices across the UK having had to rethink how we deliver our services as a result of COVID, delivering only emergency and essential services for the duration of lockdown, it has been a particularly challenging year for the whole industry. Many vet nurses working in veterinary practice have demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment going 'above and beyond' in these extraordinary times."
The nomination form can be found the Blue Cross website at bluecross.org.uk/BVNA2020. Nominations close on Friday, 18 September 2020.
Animalcare's Vet Nurse Heroes revealed
Winners nominated for going above and beyond their call of duty.
Five veterinary nurses working in an array of clinical settings have been announced as the winners of Animalcare's Vet Nurse Heroes competition.
The competition, which took place during Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (VNAM) (May 2020), called on team members to nominate their nurse colleagues who consistently go above and beyond the call of duty, particularly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After a flood of great entries, the winners of the competition have been announced as:
Claire Defries, VN programme leader at the College of Animal Welfare
Claire was praised for the support she gave to vet nurses in training during the lockdown, enabling third-year students to sit their final exams. Besides developing online training, virtually overnight, Claire was also commended for the pastoral support she has provided to students during the lockdown.
Ellie Tappenden, Albyn Veterinary Centre, Broxburn
Ellie's nomination pays recognition to her work to create a local support network with other vets. During the lockdown, Ellie worked long shifts before delivering regular medicines and ensuring that her self-isolating clients were coping. She also organised a collection of spare PPE for the local hospital, all while managing her pain from a degenerative disease, Ehlers Danlos, which she fights daily.
Tammy Jarvis, RSPCA Block Fen Animal Centre, March
Tammy gave exceptional support to all 105 patients at the RSPCA centre and the veterinary surgeon. With other staff furloughed, she took on additional duties, including maintenance and ground management, and recently started sewing face masks for her colleagues.
Bethany Lavill, Etwall Vets, Derby
Bethany was nominated for coming in after hours to check up on patients and for collecting animals from clients who are self-isolating. Nominators said that she had gone above and beyond the call of duty on many occasions and still asks what more she can do to help.
Shannon Mills, Leeds Colton Vets4Pets
Shannon willingly covered a range of roles throughout lockdown and recently nursed a critical care rabbit throughout the day while overseeing reception. She also passed her mock exam with flying colours during the lockdown, all despite a recent diagnosis of epilepsy.
The winners each received a gift box, filled to the brim with delicious food and drink.
"We wanted our competition to highlight the fantastic contribution vet nurses around the country are making to their colleagues, clients and patients – but the number and quality of entries hugely exceeded our expectations," commented Animalcare product manager, James Beaumont.
"At such a difficult time, the positivity, passion and care that each nomination exuded made reading them a moving experience and selecting only five as winners was no easy task. We thank all those who took the time to nominate their amazing colleagues and thank every vet nurse who was nominated for their extraordinary commitment and dedication."

VN student praised for going 'above and beyond' during pandemic
Rachel Liddell went out of her way to help her blind and deaf clients.
A veterinary nursing student from Ayrshire has been praised for going 'above and beyond' during the coronavirus pandemic by helping humans as well as animals.
Twenty-year-old Rachel Liddell is studying for a Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing at Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) while working at The Oaks Veterinary Centre in Saltcoats.
When a blind client had to have his guide dog put to sleep, Rachel – who was writing sympathy cards – realised that he wouldn't be able to read the card if she sent one.
Wanting the client to receive a card that was personal that he could read, Rachel contacted the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and asked if they could make a brail insert to send in a card.
Rachel also extended her kindness to a deaf client who brought his dog in for vaccinations. Upon realising the client was deaf, she typed out what she wanted to say to the owner on a sign language app. When she took the dog back to the car park, she then signed an overview of the consultation.
Vet Sarah Lamont, who works with Rachel at The Oaks, said: "We have a lot of talented nurses at our practice but there is something very special about Rachel. She is far beyond her years in terms of her nursing skills but also has a special quality about her that you cannot teach.
"She goes above and beyond for people and I have noticed this even more so as we have been going through the challenges of Covid-19. She has offered to deliver medication and food to people who are shielding and can't get out, even if this means doing it in her free time. Nothing is a bother to her."
Rachel, who has been unable to sit her final exams due to Covid-19, said: "I have always been passionate about helping animals and being part of the first line of care. Veterinary nursing is so rewarding and being able to nurse a patient back to full health and return it to its family is an amazing feeling.
"I have really enjoyed being in practice and feeling part of a very close team as well as learning something new every day to further my knowledge and help each and every patient."
BVNA Council elections results announced
Six new full Council members and one new student council member.
The results of the 2020 BVNA Council elections have been announced.
This year's election saw six new full Council members and one new student council member added to the BVNA Council. A total of 14 candidates stood for full membership, and the following members were elected:
Lyndsay Hughes
Charlotte Pace
Lacey Pitcher
Laura Richards
Laura Rosewell
Craig Tessyman
Molly Vallance was appointed, uncontested as a student member.
"2020 continues to be a year of curveballs and resulted in an interesting conundrum for our council elections," commented BVNA president Jo Hinde. "For the first time in BVNA history, there was a tie for the final council seat!
"On Sat 11 July, during the main council meeting, the full council were presented with the Anonymized manifestos of the two tied candidates and each council member voted for their preferred candidate. This was an unprecedented situation for us and I'm very pleased that we were able to resolve the issue in a fair and timely manner.
She continued: "I would like to thank all of the 296 members for taking the time to vote and I am very much looking forward to meeting our newly elected council members soon."
Katie Spackman, head of membership and events at BVNA added: "We're delighted to see the number of nominations for the 2020 elections increase by 100 per cent from last year. During the online event 'Meet the Candidates' I was really impressed by the professionalism and the passion of each candidate and of the content of their manifestos.
"I look forward to working with the new council members to continue to build our reputation as the Voice of Veterinary Nursing."
VN Council names new chair and vice-chair
Matthew Rendle and Belinda Andrews-Jones will take up their places at this year's RCVS Annual General Meeting.
The RCVS has announced that Matthew Rendle RVN will be the next chair of VN Council, becoming the first male veterinary nurse to hold the position.
Matthew was selected by his peers at a meeting of VN Council on Wednesday (17 June) and will be responsible for decisions relating to the regulation, education and registration of veterinary nurses. He will be joined by Belinda Andrews-Jones RVN who was elected as vice-chair of VN Council.
Commenting on his appointment, Matthew said: "I am very proud to be the first male veterinary nurse to hold the position of Chair of RCVS VN Council. In this position, I will continue to work hard to support and progress the profession of the veterinary nurse.
"It is fundamental we give the general public, as well as our fellow veterinary professionals, a greater understanding of the excellent work we do. We have a positive impact on animal health and welfare, whatever the clinical environment or species. The lack of understanding of what veterinary nurses do is often cited as a chronic issue within my profession and it is something I plan to prioritise during my tenure as Chair of VN Council."
Belinda added: "I am delighted to have been elected as vice-chair of VN Council by my fellow Council members. It is a huge honour and privilege to be contributing to the RCVS and the profession, in protecting and upholding the high standards of the UK veterinary nurse profession, while progressing the profession forward.
"I feel I can make a positive contribution to the already fantastic work that the college has achieved. I am passionate about progressing the profession forward and expanding the role of UK veterinary nurses."
A veterinary nurse since 1989, Matthew's career has focussed on caring for exotic animals, particularly in the zoo setting. He delivers lectures at the Royal Veterinary College on topics such as herpetological husbandry and some areas of zoo and wildlife diagnostic imaging and anaesthesia. He also lectures extensively on herpetology throughout Europe and America.
As chair of VN Council, Matthew will also welcome new veterinary nurses to the Register and take them through their professional oaths, represent the RCVS and the veterinary nursing profession at various events and act as an ambassador and spokesperson for the profession.
Matthew and Belinda will take up their appointments as chair and vice-chair respectively at this year's RCVS Annual General Meeting which takes place on Friday, 10 July 2020.

OSCEs to resume at Central Qualifications
Organisation delighted to be offering OSCEs in the current climate
Awarding organisation Central Qualifications has announced that it is preparing to safely resume Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) for veterinary nurses from the middle of July.
Owing to the coronavirus pandemic, and like all veterinary nurse educators, CQ had to stop running examinations in March.
In a press release, the Organisation said that it has since 'invested heavily' in making its Suffolk examination centre 'as COVID-19 secure as possible' by carrying out a full risk assessment and changing the layout of its environment.
The Ofqual-approved body added that it has already been in touch with centres whose candidates had an OSCE cancelled in March, giving them first refusal on the first OSCE taking place in Mid-July.
"We are pleased to announce that we have been able to create a safe and secure environment at our examination centre in Suffolk which takes into account social distancing and the health and welfare of candidates, examiners and the quality assurance team," commented CQ director, Jacqui Garrett.
"We have looked into the aspect of providing OSCEs in a secure way that minimises contact and ensures that social distancing advice is adhered to. We have refreshed our risk assessment for the OSCE in light of recent government advice, identifying protective measures and ensuring that all health and safety compliance checks are undertaken before the first OSCE session."
She added: "We are delighted to be offering the first OSCEs in the current climate and to be giving our student veterinary nurses the chance to complete the final steps in their path towards qualification."
Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month winners revealed
"Every single entry was brilliant and really highlighted just #whatVNsdo!"
The winners of the 16th annual Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (VNAM) have been revealed.
VNAM takes place throughout May every year to highlight the importance of the veterinary nurse in practice and the provision of responsible pet ownership to the public.
Owing to COVID-19, this year's event took place virtually. Normally veterinary nurses create displays in their reception areas and go out into their communities to explain what their job entails.
This year, participants were asked to design a poster 'showing the role of the veterinary nurse' and to record a short educational video that helps pet owners care for their pets. The public was also asked to get involved by taking a picture of their pet and completing the sentence "I love my vet nurse because..."
All of the winning posters, comments and photos are live on the BVNA website and VNAM Facebook page. The educational videos can also be viewed on the BVNA's YouTube channel.
"We have had a huge amount of entries into this year's competitions and all have been to a very high standard. It has been a pleasure, as always, to lead the judging panel and announce this year's fabulous winners and runners up," said BVNA president Jo Hinde.
"I am exceptionally pleased with how well veterinary nurses have embraced the 'digital poster' competition and every single entry was brilliant and really highlighted just #whatVNsdo! The response to our information video category was equally as good and have helped provide a wide range of factual, informative and engaging top tips to pet owners around the world.
"But the most popular category by far was the owner's competition. We had over 130 entries from dedicated pet owners who wanted to express their thanks to their Veterinary Nurse for caring for their pets.
"It's heart-warming to read all the entries and see just how much impact Vet Nurses can have on both the pet and owner's welfare. Thank you all for taking part and helping to make #VNAM2020 a huge success."

Ogier shows his pace in Audi R8
Sebastien Ogier had no trouble taking his blistering speed from the WRC stages onto the asphalt race track at the weekend as he scored a brace of impressive results in the latest round of the ADAC GT Masters series in Germany.
The reigning FIA World Rally Champion was a guest driver in the Prosperia C. Abt Racing team and partnered experienced sportscar racer Markus Winkelhock in a 550hp Audi R8 LMS Ultra for two races at the Lausitzring.
Although a technical problem restricted Ogier's seat time to just five laps during free practice, he and Winkelhock guided their machine to 13th place at the end of race one – despite losing a considerable amount of time at the start when they were almost spun out of the race by a rival.
The duo faired even better in race two as they battled their way from their 19th place grid slot at the start to complete the race in an impressive eighth place.

Despite his very limited circuit racing experience – which most recently included a Porsche Supercup race at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend last year – Ogier was pleased with the progress he made at the Lausitzring.
"I enjoyed the weekend very much; it was a lot of fun," the VW Motorsport driver said. "I kept on improving and my lap times were not at all bad. Our overall performance could have been a bit better, but we had a problem on Friday and didn't get much track time in, which made things quite tricky. I'm very pleased, though, and competing in the ADAC GT Masters was certainly a terrific experience."

The opposite of addiction is connection, and with that notion, 20 health professionals from around the Island and region gathered last Thursday, June 20, for a "Lunch and Learn" at the Martha's Vineyard Center for Living in Vineyard Haven.
"I wake up every day, and I realize I'm an addict and I'm an alcoholic," said Brian Morris, mental health and substance use disorder access coordinator at Island Health Care. "I'm going to stay sober today, and I'm going to do so by talking to other addicts and alcoholics — meeting them where they are, and helping them get to where they need to go."
Next steps for addicts, be it after detox or inpatient programs, can be difficult to navigate, especially on Martha's Vineyard, where some services don't exist.
"Oftentimes, we're not tapping into the best possible resource," Morris said. He gestured toward Nancy Merrill and Arden O'Connor. "These are our dot connectors, and I really think these folks represent places and ideas that we can tap into fully."
Nancy Merrill is the program director for McLean Hospital's alcohol and drug abuse services, and Arden O'Connor is the founder of O'Connor Professional Group. They spoke to Thursday's group of invested healthcare professionals, including representatives from Martha's Vineyard Community Services, the M.V. Hospital, Healthy Aging M.V., Vineyard House, M.V. Substance Use Disorder Coalition, Health Imperatives Family Planning, as well as recovery coaches, licensed therapists, and parents of addicts.
"McLean is known for being really impossible to figure out how to get into," Merrill said. "That card on the table will get you access to me, and get you access to McLean."
McLean has just shy of 500 beds across its 64 clinical programs. The alcohol and drug abuse services program has a detox unit with 21 beds, a small outpatient clinic that offers Vivitrol and Suboxone, a partial hospital program with day treatments like individual and group therapy, and an array of inpatient residential programs. Fernside and Borden Cottage are eight-bed residential programs with an average stay of 30 days. Naukeag is a 30-bed program with an average stay of 14 to 17 days. All inpatient units take insurance, "but the downside is, they're almost always full," Merrill said.
McLean works with organizations like O'Connor Professional Group to provide additional resources and consultation for people struggling with what to do next.
O'Connor Professional Group was founded eight years ago. "I wanted to help families like ours," O'Connor said. Both of her brothers and her father are in recovery. The O'Connor Group targets four services: addiction, mental health, eating disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. "We have everything from recovery coaching to interventions, to coming up with what placement might be appropriate for families," O'Connor said. "We like to know about providers in all communities."
O'Connor believes recovery coaching, parent/spousal coaching, collaborating clinicians, and long-term support are key contributors to recovery success. Since compliance is often one of the biggest hurdles for addicts, O'Connor Professional Group looks at a pilots-and-physicians model as an example of how to get people into recovery.
"If you're a pilot or a physician with an addictive disorder, what we learned is you look at the pilot-physician boards," O'Connor said. "If somebody runs into trouble, they're reported to those licensing boards, and licensing boards determine what services [addicts] receive, where they go for treatment, and the license is used as leverage to get them to comply. And the big distinction I would say is, not only do they have leverage in the license, but they also require long-term monitoring, so their statistics are successful."
Individuals are monitored for up to five years, and the sobriety rate is 80 to 90 percent, according to O'Connor. The O'Connor Professional Group tries to apply that model to families. "We're trying to get the parents to use whatever leverage they have to get someone to be compliant over the long term," she said. Financial and emotional pressures are examples of leverage. "Can we just make life a little less comfortable until they might be willing to do something?" O'Connor said.
O'Connor Professional Group services are paid out of pocket. Basic consultation is between $1,500 and $5,000, and monthly coaching can be anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on client location. O'Connor serves individuals and families all over the country.
Both O'Connor and Merrill see a wave of popularity on the recovery coaching model. One of McLean's next projects is focused on integrating more recovery coaches into its alcohol and substance use division.
"It's a little bit like a nurse practitioner doing some of the duties of a doctor," O'Connor said. "People come back to life, and they need all sorts of support, whether it's job support or basic things like how to get organized, how to get back into exercise, nutrition. They're sober, but they're very fragile … Martha's Vineyard is particularly lucky to have recovery coaches available for a broad audience of people."

'I don't want to race with competitors'
By ROSHMILA BHATTACHARYA
'I just want to up my own timing. That's the only reason I'm running.'
'I'm not thinking of who is doing what films and if I am better or worse.'
'I just want to better what I have done before.'
IMAGE: Taapsee Pannu in Rashmi Rocket.
After a successful stint down South, Taapsee Pannu flagged off her Bollywood career with the contemporary remake of Sai Paranjpye's Chashme Buddoor caught everyone's eye in Baby and flirted with a PINK.
But today, the feisty actress, who refuses to be put in a box or tied down by conventional beliefs of what a woman should and should not do, has made a niche for herself in a industry where equations change every Friday.
So her films like Mulk, Badla, Saand Ki Aankh, Manmarziyan, Thappad and Haseen Dillruba are similar in that they are so different.
They don't follow any formulae, they don't conform to the conventional image of the holier-than-thou heroine and most importantly, they give her a chance to discover and rediscover herself.
Continuing on this path, Taapsee is out to challenge an archaic sex test that has ruined the careers of many promising athletes, put her weight behind the women's cricket team and its endevour for an equal playing field, chosen to remake a cult classic and turned producer with a film in which she plays a woman who is slowly losing her sight.
"Every time I do a film like Rashmi Rocket, Shabaash Mithu or Loop Lapeta, there's always a point during the making of the film when I have sat and asked myself why the hell do I do this to myself. Why do I put myself in situations which leave me just so exhausted? But then, I look at my reflection and motivate myself by saying, 'If not you, then who?'" she tells Rediff.com Senior Contributor Roshmila Bhattacharya.
Your first challenge while playing an athlete in the sports drama,Rashmi Rocket, must have been fitness, right?
Yes, physicality was the first big challenge.
I knew if I could get through that, half the task of being Rashmi would be done successfully. It was with that zeal that I approached the role.
I'm a sports enthusiast.
I follow a lot of sports.
For me, sports stars are the real heroes.
I have always looked up to them, been in awe of them.
So I kept the pressure on myself all through the film, knowing that I couldn't let down an athlete, especially not a female athlete.
This being the first film on a track and field athlete, and I gave it all I had.
I did all that I could possibly do.
Well, since the prep was very organic, I turned my lifestyle upside down.
My body type and daily routine changed, and it wasn't temporary.
A lot has changed permanently in my life since I started Rashmi Rocket. And I'm glad it has because my stamina and strength have improved.
A certain discipline has come into my life.
I've always admired well defined muscles and had dreamt of having them. (Laughs) Thanks to Rashmi I got to fulfill my dream while being paid for it.
IMAGE: Taapsee in Rashmi Rocket.
You aren't playing just another athlete in the film but one who is forced to go through what they call a sex test, after which questions are raised about her even being a woman. How tough was that?
Whenever I do a film that touches on a particular issue, I force myself to believe that I'm the one who is going through it all. That's my process as an actor.
In this case, I had to channel that part of myself which had grown up being called a tomboy because unlike other girls my age who were fine with playing indoors, I would rather play an outdoor sport with the boys.
It didn't help that I didn't dress conventionally.
When I learnt to ride a bike pretty early in life, that was a problem as well.
I have gone through a lot in my own life too.
I was also being questioned, albeit indirectly because I did not fit into a box of womanhood which had been designed for me by society.
I projected the battle I had been fighting till I had reached a breaking point and decided that I did not want to fit into this box anymore.
But being a part of a glamour industry, wasn't there the need to fit into a particular image?
There was, at the beginning of my career when I was meeting a lot of people in an attempt to get work.
That's when I heard a lot of free advice on what kind of work one should do.
A glamorous role... Films with a certain kind of hero... One dance number that would make one an aspirational diva, a heroine everyone would fantasize about.
I was even advised on how to dress when I stepped out, told to do a certain kind of photo shoot and only put out those pictures.
IMAGE: Taapsee on the Shabaash Mithu poster.
How did you react to these pointers and pressures?
I succumbed to them in the beginning, probably because I didn't know better.
It was only when I failed to live up to these yardsticks that I told myself, 'Okay, this is not happening, I'm not getting it. Rather than keep trying and failing, let me do what gives me happiness.'
Failure helped me change direction.
But girls coming in even now are told they need to project themselves in a certain way and do certain kinds of movies.
So many of my contemporaries are still trying hard to get into that hotshot bracket even when not it's not their forte because they are constantly being told that if they don't look hotshot, they can't become a mainstream actress.
Rashmi Veera is a fictitious character but Mithali Raj whom you are playing in Shabaash Mithu is a real person. The captain of the national women's cricket team, she's just become the world's highest run scorer. Has that upped the expectations?
Yes it has, and rightfully so.
It's not a role that should come with any less expectations.
I had never held a bat before I started training but I've been pushing myself to the maximum limit since.
I want to give the role my best shot because Mithali is not just another character.
IMAGE: Taapsee reads the script of her debut home production, Blurr. Photograph: Kind courtesy Taapsee Pannu/Instagram
You have jumped into production, blindly so.
(Laughs) Yeah, in a very blurry way.
Playing a blind person is the biggest challenge for any actor...
Actually, my character in my debut home production, Blurr, is not completely blind though she eventually reaches there.
I was grappling with progressive blindness and that is more difficult than playing a blind person.
You have completed Loop Lapeta, the official Indian remake of the German cult film Run Lola Run. What makes you take up the challenge with every film?
I don't want to race with competitors, I just want to up my own timing. That's the only reason I'm running.
I'm not thinking of who is doing what films and if I am better or worse.
I just want to better what I have done before.
I pick up unexpected genres and exciting stories where I, myself, don't know how to go about things.
In the process, I bring something new to the screen.
But yes, every time I do a film like Rashmi Rocket, Shabaash Mithu or Loop Lapeta, there's always a point during the making of the film when I have sat and asked myself why the hell do I do this to myself.
Why do I put myself in situations which leave me just so exhausted?
But then, I look at my reflection and motivate myself by saying, 'If not you, then who?'
IMAGE: Taapsee holidays in Russia. Photograph: Kind courtesy Taapsee Pannu/Instagram
You've always tried to grab a vacation between projects. The last one was in Russia. Where are you off to next?
I really want to visit another European country.
I love Europe and haven't been able to go there for a while now.
It will either be Europe or an African Safari.
I hope travel restrictions are eased soon for me to snatch a quick getaway.

Are you one of the many individuals who is fighting sinus congestion this cold season? You're not alone. According to a weekly report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, influenza and cold symptoms are on the rise in the U.S., with record numbers of cases being reported during the 2018-2019 cold and flu season. One of the worst symptoms associated with the common cold is sinus congestion, which can cause pressure to build in the sinuses contributing to headaches, eye aches, runny/stuffy nose, and dry, irritated skin on the face.
Here at Remedi Spa in Staten Island, we offer a few beneficial spa treatments that can help alleviate sinus congestion, pressure, and headache. Today, we'll look at these treatments and how they can help you feel better, breathe better, and encourage the body's natural healing ability to fight off the common cold.
Aromatherapy is a natural healing remedy that has been used by cultures worldwide for centuries to treat a number of conditions and symptoms. Using aromatic essential oils derived from plants, herbs, and spices, aromatherapy can work on its own, or in combination with another treatment, such as a massage, to relieve a number of symptoms, ease tension, and alleviate physical, mental, and emotional stress.
When inhaled through the sinuses, aromas like lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, sage, tea tree oil, and others can ease inflammation in the sinuses, allowing the sinuses to open up for improved respiratory function. When applied topically, these oils can relieve tension, inflammation, and aches and pain, which are often associated with sinus congestion.
If you have sinus pressure and congestion from a cold or allergies, a soothing sinus massage can help with circulation and toxin removal to help clear away mucus and reduce pressure in the sinus cavity. By focusing on the specific sinus points on the head, face, and neck and combining massage with aromatherapy, your massage therapist can unblock the sinuses, clear congestion, and reduce soreness and ache.
Are you ready to find your remedy for sinus congestion? At Remedi Spa in Staten Island, our relaxing, rejuvenating spa treatments can alleviate sinus congestion, sinus pressure, and the discomfort sinus congestion can cause such as pain and headaches. From massage and reflexology to aromatherapy, our therapists can help you feel better by relieving pain, improving circulation, and stimulating the body's own ability to heal. If you would like to schedule a massage or body treatment, reach out to your premier, Top Rated Local® Staten Island spa today.

A one-in-a-million island!
Ibiza, or Eivissa, is an island in the Mediterranean Sea and has a surface area of 575 km2. Together with Formentera, it is one of the two Pithyusans (pine tree islands), and as such forms a part of the Balearic Islands: Mallorca, Manorca, Formentera, Ibiza, and many smaller, uninhabited islands.
Ibiza is the most visited island in Spain and is only about 41km long and 20km wide, which means that, no matter where you wish to go on the island, it's never more than a half hour drive. Ibiza is not only world-famous because of its bustling nightlife, but also because of its many fantastic beaches with isolated, sheltered bays and coves where you will find yourself in paradise while swimming in turquoise, crystal-clear waters surrounded by high, magnificent cliffs.
These beautiful natural conditions and the tolerant lifestyle of the Ibicenco, the inhabitants of the island, were part of the reason why Ibiza saw such an influx of mainland artists looking for a safe haven in this paradise at the end of the 1950s. The trek to Ibiza took decades and resulted in a lively coast scene, which inspired every migrant in his own way. Some even stayed here to live. Hippie markets are held every week at multiple places on the island, and shopping is fantastic because Ibiza is always ahead of the curve when it comes to trends. So if you are interested in clothing or interior decoration advice, you will find only the newest of the new on Ibiza. Ibiza is bustling and charming, romantic and enchanting. It truly is a one-in-a-million island!
History of Ibiza
Ibiza was conquered in 1235 by Jacob I the Conqueror (Jaume I). This historically important island has, through the ages, been occupied by multiple people. In these cases, violence was by no means restrained. The diverse defence towers point to a tumultuous past. Sa Caleta, for instance, is a place where the remnants of a Phoenician civilisation are preserved as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Going out on Ibiza
Ibiza is, hands-down, the vacation and leisure island. For years, the island has been the meeting point for party-goers of all ages and from all around Europe. In the extravagant nightlife of Ibiza City, everyone can live his dream with the enjoyment of seeing and being seen. The sympathetic city offers many bars, restaurants, terraces, and, of course, famous discotheques that don't close until sunup.
Not many other places in Europe offer so many trendy night clubs as Ibiza. The bustling nightlife is especially marked in San Antonio -where the gay scene is quite popular-, and in Ibiza City, in the area around the harbour. World-famous clubs and DJs entertain thousands of party-goers who fill up the dance floors every year, including well-known celebrities and, of course, the chic de la chic. The large dance palaces of the island are, amongst others: Eden, El Devino, Space, Amnesia, DC10, Ushuaia and of course Pacha and Privilege, the largest club in the world, with a capacity of 10,000 guests.
Activities on Ibiza
But Ibiza has so much more to offer than just going out and parading around. The island has an abundance of beautiful beaches, ranging from very busy to unadulterated and quiet. Ibiza has beautiful nature that lends itself perfectly to a day with a rental car or an organised Jeep safari, exploring the narrow plazas with crooked streets and picturesque squares. Ibiza is also a great vacation spot for families with children. The beaches are wide and long and generally lie on the sea. There are many activities that are fun for children to undertake; like small trains that run through the tourist spots, water parks, zoos, and aquariums.
Beaches of Ibiza
Ibiza has 50 beaches, of which the Platja de Ses Salines and the Platja d'en Bossa are the most well-known. Both are southwest of the capital of Ibiza City and are long, broad, and covered in fine white sand. Typical of the beaches are the chiringuitos (beach shacks) where you can have a drink and a delicious bite to eat. On top of that you will also find on Ibiza many smaller beaches and even deserted bays that you can only get to by boat. Most beaches offer water-sport opportunities such as jetskiing, surfing, and boat rental. You will often also find a beach shack where you can have something to eat or drink, as well as other facilities such as sun chairs and parasols for hire.
Beach tip:
Not far from Sant Antoni lies the Punta de Sa Galera. While there is no sand here, you can still find super clear water, enormous rock plateaus, and a mud spring with mud that –according to the locals– has healing powers.
Ibiza offers some of the most beautiful sunsets in the Mediterranean, a daily event which draws thousands to witness the unbeatable drama laid on by nature. Ses Variades in Sant Antoni was the first to pair chill-out with this special moment, and the music of the seashore venue with bars like Mambo and Café del Mar is now known across the world. Famous DJs try out new rhythms on a spellbound audience, reaching their climax as the sun makes a majestic exit by the western isles, a thousand hearts beating as one to a round of applause.
Things worth seeing on Ibiza
A good way to visit all the things worth seeing on the island is with a rental car. With your own car you can easily go from point to point when and where you want. There is enough to see, from mysterious caves, salt mountains, quiet towns, medieval churches and hippy markets to undiscovered bays and natural beauty.
Some suggestions: the citadel above "the old town" know as Dalt Vila, the beautiful villages of Santa Gertrudis and San Augustin, the Phoenician town of Sa Caleta, which has also been declared World Heritage Site, the salt plains of Salinas and Atlantis, a magical and idyllic (secret) spot on the West coast and the remnants of an Arabic irrigation system, named Seis Feixes, forming a protected shelter for flamingos, who brood there from the latter half of April to the end of May. The most important attractions are also offered by the travel industry by means of organised bus excursions.
Sport and recreation on Ibiza
The island offers a choice of sport possibilities. The beach allows for different water-sports opportunities, among them jetskiing and surfing. Ibiza also has a large amount of sailing and diving schools. And for real enjoyment you can rent a motor or sail yacht for the day. Strolling and biking are good options to discover the beauty of the island. Horseback riding and golf are also a part of the sport opportunities on Ibiza. The golf terrain is about 7 kilometres from Ibiza City.
Ibiza also has much to offer the adventurous vacation-goer: bungee jumping, parasailing, kite-surfing, hot-air balloon rides, jetskiing, and mountaineering.
On Ibiza you can find all the kitchens from around the world, from French, Italian, and Dutch to Mexican, Indonesian and Japanese. Ibiza's local cuisine is typically Spanish/Mediterranean and includes dishes like Bullit de Peix (fish stew), Paella and Arroz de Matanzas (rice with pork), but the island is also famous for its excellent grilled fish, meat and tapas.
In Ibiza City you will find the best tapas bars and authentic Spanish restaurants. On top of that, the tourist centre of course also features all the fast food chains. In the restaurants and pubs on the beach the menu often offers a choice between a real American hamburger or baked fish, fresh from the sea. In other words, Ibiza has the right solution to every culinary preference. In Ibiza City you can, of course, eat at a regular North European hour (between 6 and 7PM), but it becomes particularly cosy and fun after about 9PM, when the locals begin to shuffle in. Restaurant tip: One of the best tapas restaurants in Ibiza City is the Taberna Lizarran.
Apart from Spanish (Castellano), the native dialect that is spoken on Ibiza is Eivissenc. But don't worry, because of the influence of tourism and expatriates living on the island, other languages like English, German and Italian are also spoken.
Location of the vacation houses, vacation villas, and vacation fincas
The vacation houses, vacation villas, and fincas are spread over the rolling landscape of Ibiza and are always close to the beach and leisure possibilities.
Ibiza has its own international airport, but the island is also easily reachable from the mainland. There are ferries from Barcelona, Mallorca, Denia and Valencia going directly to Ibiza town and San Antonio. Ferries to Formentera leave several times a day from Ibiza, San Antonio and Santa Eulalia. Public buses cover a large part of the island. There are also a lot of taxis on Ibiza but beware that outside the urbanisations most streets do not have street names and house numbers, so please check beforehand if the taxi driver knows the place you want to go to.
Generally speaking, the electricity grid runs on 220 volts, although you may sometimes encounter 125 volt plugs.
Normal hours of business are from 9:30AM to 1:30PM and from 5:00PM to 8:00PM. However, supermarkets and shopping centres are generally open from 9:30AM to 9:30PM. The shopping centres are also usually open on holidays.

Ibiza has a subtropical Mediterranean climate with warm summers, during which the daily high in July and August can reach above 35 ºC and the evening low is always above 25ºC. Even in the winter the average daily temperature is a pleasant 15ºC.
The summers can sometimes bring overcast skies, but this does not mean it will necessarily rain. Besides, a bit of rain is more of a breath of fresh air after the many warm days full of sun. With 2800 sun hours and an average of 70 days of rain per year, Ibiza has an attractive holiday climate.

Q: How to create auto increment filed in Oracle 10g like Sql Server 1.we can use "identity(Start_Value,Increase)" key word in SQL Server to auto increment filed.
so, such like that any key word is available in Oracle 10g.
if any body know that give me ans...
and
if we want to find only Positive difference between two Field....
Waiting...
Fast

A: In 10g you can use the following objects: a Table, a Sequence and a before-insert row-level Trigger:

*

*Table T1 with a numeric column (that simulates the auto-incremental behavior)

*Sequence SEQ_T1_ID1 (to use for the number generation)

*Trigger TRG_T1_ID1 (that populates your column automatically)

Obviously you need the CREATE TABLE, CREATE SEQUENCE and CREATE TRIGGER privileges, and some quotas (maybe unlimited) on the Tablespace.
CREATE TABLE T1
(ID1 NUMBER,
 TNAME VARCHAR2(128));

CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_T1_ID1;

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_T1_ID1
BEFORE INSERT ON T1
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    SELECT SEQ_T1_ID1.NEXTVAL
    INTO :NEW.ID1
    FROM DUAL;
END;
/

A: Untill 12c Oracle does not have such option as identity autoincrement columns.
There are TONS "how to do" this in Internet and SO in particular:
How to create id with AUTO_INCREMENT on Oracle?
CREATE TABLE T (
  ID           NUMBER(10)
);

ALTER TABLE T ADD (
  CONSTRAINT T_pk PRIMARY KEY (ID));

CREATE SEQUENCE T_seq;

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER T_bifer
BEFORE INSERT ON T
FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN
  SELECT T_seq.NEXTVAL
  INTO   :new.id
  FROM   dual;
END;

How Social Entrepreneur's are born!
This summer I was in New Delhi, India for a short visit. While there I took time to visit Toucan Krafte, a fair trade company that empowers women with health care and training in jewelry making started by Shaina Jarg. The artisan group is made up of economically disadvantaged women from villages and slums just outside of New Delhi, India.
It was interesting to see that the workshop was not headquartered in downtown Delhi or a posh suburb but right in the heart of the basti (settlement) where the artisans can walk to the workshop.
Shaina runs a training program for her artisans where they are taught how to bead jewelry and the craft. They are given instruction and mentored by their peers who are more advanced in the skill. Women with little skill level are always welcome at Toucan Krafte as long as they are willing to learn and are committed to the craft.
The business model is really conducive for women artisan who has other responsibilities in their homes and can dedicate only a few hours each day to earn fair wages and help support their families.
After their in-house training is complete, the women can take all the materials needed to make the jewelry home to work at their own pace. They are paid once they return back with the finished products. This way they work when it's convenient without committing to a 9-5 work culture. More of a part-time model balancing the role of being a mother, a wife, a daughter in law but more importantly a bread earner.
I am fascinated with this business model. Shaina has really understood the difficulties these women face in their day to day lives and has come up with a solution that benefits both: the business and the artisans. Trust and love are strong factors that bind this organization. Shaina is well respected and looks after her artisans with compassion and goes that extra mile to show her commitment to her mission and her artisans.
There is a huge disconnect between the maker and buyer of a product. My efforts including with Terra Klay, has been to show you the faces of the artisans and the hands that craft the products you wear or use day to day. Fairtrade products are not necessarily more expensive but it allows the maker to live a respectable life earning a living wage that changes lives.

WWE Superstars Review - March 20, 2015
First off, the video package that aired spotlighting Andre the Giant and his legacy did more to make the Memorial Battle Royal feel meaningful than anything else we've seen on Raw in recent weeks (including this match between two of the bout's combatants). The match itself was just kind of there, but it was a little livelier than I expected with the crowd being into Swagger's offense. It was a nice win for Swagger, though it's obvious neither of these guys have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the match at WrestleMania.
The Lucha Dragons def. The Ascension
I continue to enjoy the performances The Lucha Dragons are having on the main roster and this was no exception. Like most of their matches, The Ascension was on offense for a majority of it, but it was relatively solid early on and fun in the final few minutes. The Lucha Dragons have been impressive since arriving on the main roster, but I hope to see them grace Raw and SmackDown sooner rather than later to add to the stale tag team division.
Both of the featured matches were well wrestled this week, despite the fact we've seen them before. I wouldn't exactly call either of them "must-see," but they are worth sitting through if this week's episode of Superstars happens to be live streaming on the WWE Network when you log in.


Compositional schematic of devices with each layer thickness drawn to scale.
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) light up our world, from street lights to digital tablets. But a new form of LED display is so thin and flexible it could move with fabric or stuck to biological tissue.
A team of researchers including Safae Aazou of the Chouaib Doukkali University, Morocco, have made a red and orange polymeric LEDs that, unlike traditional LEDS, are ultrathin, highly flexible and stretchable, publishing their design in Nature Photonics.
They sandwiched a thin layer of semiconductor photo-emitting material between a metal and a transparent organic electrode, all fixed on top of a thicker flexible polymeric substrate. This allows the diode to be bent and stretched while still being able to work. The entire setup does not exceed two micrometers in thickness.
Stress tests on this 'polymeric' LED, or PLED, using a glass substrate for reference, demonstrated an unprecedented toleration to being flexed and stretched, with values approaching those of conventional elastic materials.
The polymeric LED can be used as a free-standing foil or integrated with deformable materials such as textiles and biological tissue. The same design concept can be applied with semiconductors emitting photons of different colours. This offers vast potential applications in medicine, as well as the communications, infrastructure and security industries.

Q: Finding the permutation that satisfy given condition I want to find out the number of all permutation of nnumber.Number will be from 1 to n.The given condition is that each ithposition can have number up to Si,where Si is given for each position of number.
1<=n<=10^6
1<=si<=n

For example:
n=5

then its all five element will be
1,2,3,4,5

and given Si for each position is as:
2,3,4,5,5

It shows that at:
1st position can have 1 to 2that is 1,2 but can not be number among 3 to 5.
Similarly,
 At 2nd position can have number 1 to 3 only.
 At 3rd position can have number 1 to 4 only.
 At 4th position can have number 1 to 5 only.
 At 5th position can have number 1 to 5 only.
Some of its permutation are:
1,2,3,4,5
2,3,1,4,5
2,3,4,1,5 etc.

But these can not be:
3,1,4,2,5  As 3 is present at 1st position.
1,2,5,3,4  As 5 is present at 3rd position.

I am not getting any idea to count all possible number of permutations with given condition.

A: Okay, if we have a guarantee that numbers si are given in not descending order then looks like it is possible to calculate the number of permutations in O(n).
The idea of straightforward algorithm is as follows:

*

*At step i multiply the result by current value of si[i];

*We chose some number for position i. As long as we need permutation, that number cannot be repeated, so decrement all the rest si[k] where k from i+1 to the end (e.g. n) by 1;

*Increase i by 1, go back to (1).

To illustrate on example for si: 2 3 3 4:

*

*result = 1;

*current si is "2 3 3 4", result *= si[0] (= 1*2 == 2), decrease 3, 3 and 4 by 1;

*current si is "..2 2 3", result *= si[1] (= 2*2 == 4), decrease last 2 and 3 by 1;

*current si is "....1 2", result *= si[2] (= 4*1 == 4), decrease last number by 1;

*current si is "..... 1", result *= si[3] (= 4*1 == 4), done.

Hovewer this straightforward approach would require O(n^2) due to decreasing steps. To optimize it we can easily observe that at the moment of result *= si[i] our si[i] was already decreased exactly i times (assuming we start from 0 of course).
Thus O(n) way:
unsigned int result = 1;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
    result *= (si[i] - i);
}

A: for each si count the number of element in your array such that a[i] <= si using binary search, and store the value to an array count[i], now the answer is the product of all count[i], however we have decrease the number of redundancy from the answer ( as same number could be count twice ), for that you can sort si and check how many number is <= s[i], then decrease that number from each count,the complexity is O(nlog(n)), hope at least I give you an idea.

A: To complete Yuriy Ivaskevych answer, if you don't know if the sis are in increasing order, you can sort the sis and it will also works.
And the result will be null or negative if the permutations are impossible (ex: 1 1 1 1 1)

A: You can try backtracking, it's a little hardcore approach but will work.

Q: Regex: Get first value from single line I have the below xml on a single line, I want to get the string of DBB and replace it using regex
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="\Package.Connections[DBA DB].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String"><ConfiguredValue>Data Source=.\test;Initial Catalog=DBA;Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;Application Name=B;</ConfiguredValue></Configuration><Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="\Package.Connections[DBB DB].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String"><ConfiguredValue>Data Source=.\test;Initial Catalog=DBB;Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;Application Name=C;</ConfiguredValue></Configuration></DTSConfiguration>

I have the following which works on multi line xml but not this single line example
Data Source=.+?(?=[a-z])*\;Initial Catalog=DBB;(.*?)Integrated(.*?)[^;]*;

The above regex highlights both DBA and DBB and ends there.
Could you help in finding the missing piece in the regex I have created

A: Replace Data Source=.+? with Data Source=[^<]+? to avoid traversing the start of the tag.

Ecuador's Paraplegic Vice President Lenin Moreno a Major Force for Disability Rights
February 11, 2013 · 1:40 PM EST
By Marco WermanJohn Otis

It can be easy to overlook the tiny South American nation of Ecuador. Yet Ecuador stands out as one of the region's most advanced countries for disabled people. A major force behind this effort is Lenin Moreno, Ecuador's vice president. A paraplegic, Moreno is one of the world's highest-ranking leaders using a wheelchair. Lenin Moreno was once a wealthy businessman and politician. But in 1998, he was shot in the back as gunmen stole his car from a parking lot in Quito. He was paralyzed from the waist down. Moreno overcame intense pain and bouts of depression to become a motivational speaker. He's written books about the healing power of laughter. He also performs inspirational songs. In 2006, Moreno was elected vice president. At the time, it was rare to see people in wheelchairs in public. In rural areas, people with severe handicaps were treated as outcasts and sometimes confined to sheds and chicken coops. But Moreno has tried to change all that. Wheelchair ramps are springing up across Ecuador. People with severe disabilities now receive $300 monthly stipends from the government. And Moreno helped draw up a law that compels Ecuadorian companies to set aside at least 4 percent of jobs for people with disabilities. In a recent speech, he pledged that the government would reach out to all disabled people who need help. That, he said, amounts to a revolution. That revolution includes providing free artificial limbs to poor Ecuadorians. Some are being built in a wing of this state-run hospital in Quito. Government officials say the program is the only one of its kind in Latin America. Jorge Costa, who manages the project, says thousands of Ecuadorians hobble around on crutches because they're too poor to buy artificial limbs. Now, he says, they can become productive members of society. One person who has made this transition is Sarita Carlosama. I meet her at a sports club where she's playing an early-morning game of wheelchair tennis before going to work. A disease affecting her spinal cord left Carlosama paraplegic 20 years ago. Back then she was studying to be a doctor. But she had to quit because there was no wheelchair access to the fifth-floor classrooms. Finding a job was tough. But under the new law to bring disabled people into the work force, Carlosama was recently hired by an oil company. Not surprisingly, she's full of praise for Moreno. "He has achieved so much," Carlosama says. "But even if he hadn't done anything, just the fact that the vice president is in a wheelchair changes perceptions about disabled people." At the presidential palace where Moreno has his office, disabled people line up every morning seeking assistance. Upstairs, Moreno's top aide, Alex Camacho, says other Latin American governments have called on Ecuador for advice on policies for disabled people. "That's why we are now advising to Peru, to Bogota, to Uruguay, to Dominican Republic, to Guatemala, also to Haiti," Camacho says. The presidential band plays as foreign diplomats present their credentials to Moreno. He's now Ecuador's acting president, because President Rafael Correa has taken a leave of absence to campaign for reelection later this month. But Moreno is not on the ballot. He says he needs a break from the exhausting schedule. Still, many of the programs Moreno put in place are likely to continue, says Monica Alemeida, an editor at El Universo newspaper. "It's by far one of the best things this government have done,"Almeida says. "I think that whatever government that will come will really have to follow that path that Moreno have initiated." It seems likely that Ecuadorians will see more of Moreno. He was nominated last year for the Nobel Peace Prize. And there's speculation he will run for president in 2017.
