Production and Innovation
The European Commission invests €16 million in DIH-HERO (Digital Innovation Hubs in Healthcare Robotics), a European project which aims to boost innovation and implementation of robotics in healthcare.
The project consortium, which is led by the University of Twente (as coordinator), consists of 17 partners - including the Danish Technological Institute - spread across 10 European countries. The consortium is aimed to establish an independent platform meant to connect businesses, knowledge institutes, investors and other stakeholders, facilitate collaboration and support them to make their products and services in the field of robotics available to healthcare providers.
"The role of the Danish Technological Institute is to connect companies in Scandinavia with the platform and among other things support startup companies with technology and knowhow", says Troels Oliver Vilms Pedersen chief program officer from DTI and adds:
"We have experienced that when we as an institute are strongly represented in European projects, then more Danish companies participate in them. They get access to capital and collaborations with the best knowledge institutes in Europe via the projects."
Acceleration of innovation cycle
Stefano Stramigioli, professor in robotics at the University of Twente and coordinator of the pan-European network, explains about the project:
"The route for embedding medical innovations in clinical practice is tough, time-consuming and requires substantial investments. It involves clinical testing, developing efficient production methods, reaching investors, establishing a company and handling distribution, just to mention a few steps. Furthermore, multiple actors are working on various innovations in robotics."
The European Commission aims to accelerate this 'innovation cycle' throughout the entire value chain, making sure that the products and services are developed efficiently by connecting the relevant stakeholders. Each of the 17 partners within the consortium represents a network of healthcare- and knowledge institutes, investors and commercial businesses active in robotics for healthcare.
Danish participation is important
Morten Rasmussen who is the CEO of Danish.Care - the Danish Trade Association for Assistive Technology is excited about the Danish participation.
"It is amazing that Denmark is represented in a project like this, that can help support the innovation in new technologies in healthcare", he says and adds:
"It provides Danish companies with the opportunity to draw on world-leading competencies".
Through joining forces, it is planned to build up a DIH-HERO platform during the next four years. This platform will significantly leverage added value throughout the entire value chain in the healthcare ecosystem, by sharing knowledge, connecting the right stakeholders and stimulating tailored investments.
"We are delighted with this grant of €16 million, of which more than €8 million will be distributed to commercial companies in order to support their efforts in development and implementation of digital technologies", Stefano Stramigioli states.
SME's and midcaps located in Europe can apply for funding in open calls from summer 2019 until spring 2021. Funding will be available for travelling, demonstrators and technology transfer.
"We are convinced that DIH-HERO can make a real difference concerning innovation in healthcare and will add significant value throughout the value chain, striving to bring excellent products and services to the market, to the best benefit of the end-consumer - the patient", Stramigioli concludes.

Interview with Bishop-elect Neil Tiedemann C.P.
This interview has been posted on YouTube by Father Victor Hoagland C.P.
I found this at Argent by the Tiber's site.
There's many ways that you can learn – and you're up for any of them.
You can help people communicate together and work with each other's strengths.
You don't work well with people who are competitive or adversarial.
You prefer to work toward a common goal… not toward conflicting goals.
VATICAN CITY, 20 MAY 2008 (VIS) – The Holy Father appointed Fr Neil Tiedemann C.P., provincial consultor of the Passionists, as bishop of Mandeville (area 3,282, population 582,000, Catholics 8,800, priests 43, religious 34), Jamaica. The bishop-elect was born in New York in 1948 and ordained a priest in 1975.
Today it was announced on the Vatican Information Service that Father Neil Tiedemann has been appointed Bishop of Mandeville, Jamaica; the first bishop of this diocese was, of course, the late Bishop Paul Michael Boyle C.P.
Father Neil worked for some years in Honduras, as well as in Union City, in Brooklyn and in the other Jamaica (Queens, New York). You can read a fuller account of his previous postings at A Penitent Blogger.
Berenike asked this question two months ago and I promised her that I would give an answer. She has surfaced the question again with a link to her original post on vocation as the context for the question. To try to arrive at an answer, let's begin by looking at the specific case of Saint Gemma, rather than vocations in general (-we can do that later). The following quotations show how the question of a Passionist vocation was played out in Saint Gemma's life. This is a necessary preamble because the lives of the saints, like our own, do not always follow the outline laid down in the manuals, even if we try to do that with them.
Then having related how Our Lord in vision showed her her New Director, she goes on to give him [Father Germano] a minute account of what had happened to her during the previous two years: of her serious illness and miraculous recovery, of Blessed Gabriel [of Our Lady of Sorrows], of her vocation to the Religious State and of her first acquaintance with the Passionists.
In this letter, Gemma explains how she had decided to enter the Order of the Visitation, in gratitude for having been cured through the intercession of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. (During her illness, she had read a life of Saint Gabriel, who had appeared to her after the book had been taken back by the person who had lent it to her.) Her confessor and her family were happy with her desire to become a religious. She made a retreat at the monastery of the Visitation, after which everything was arranged for her to return there for ever. As the time drew near, she heard these words internally many times: You will never be a Salesian [i.e. Visitation Sister]; another more penitential life is being prepared for you.
It was at this time that the Passionists came to Lucca to give a mission. Saint Gabriel told her to go to the Passionist, Father Gaetano, for confession and to tell him everything: Tell him that you want to be a nun, but that you want a more austere rule. Father Gaetano told her: But there are also Passionist Nuns. In the same letter to Father Germano, Gemma writes: From that moment, my thought was fixed on those words, and my wish was to become a Passionist. I told this to [my] Confessor and he was happy with it, and in fact he said to me that for me a more rigorous rule than that of the Visitation was needed; then after that, together with the vocation I received a great devotion to Confrater [Saint] Gabriel; I began praying to him, and I still do, that God give me the grace to become a Passionist [Nun] soon.
Finally God made known to her that the requisite conditions would not be fulfilled and that she had to be resigned. "What I have gone through this morning," these are her words, "I cannot explain. I shall only say that I felt a great impulse to cry. I ran away to my room to be more free there and alone, and I cried a great deal. At last I exclaimed: Fiat voluntas tua!" But those tears were not of grief; they were of perfect resignation.
The fiat was spoken [continues Father Germano]; Gemma thought no more of being a Religious; she ceased to speak of it, and occupied herself solely in preparing for death, which came, as she had foretold, in six months. God was satisfied with his faithful servant's desire and with the merit of the sacrifice she had so generously made. She had already as an act of private devotion made the vows of Religious Profession. She was a Religious and Passionist in mind and spirit and bore the stigmata of His Passion on her body. She was then fit to leave this world, well satisfied and full of joy at having perfectly attained the end for which God placed her in it.
Yesterday the Congress of the Bavarian/Austrian Vice-Province of the Five Wounds (shown above) elected their Provincial and Consultors. Father Gregor Lenzen was elected Provincial for the fifth consecutive term, responding to the General's request if he would accept office, with the classic words: Accipio in crucem. His consultors are Father Michael Hösl and Father Lukas Temme. If he lives until the next Congress (=Chapter in a Vice-Province), Father Gregor will have been Provincial for twenty years, which is not bad for a forty-nine year-old. His predecessor, Father Martin Bialas, was also Provincial for five terms but, as the term of office was three years in those days, Father Gregor is already one year ahead. Dare I say Ad multos annos?
Here is the new Council (left to right: Father Michael, Father Gregor, Father Lucas).
Father Gary at The Passionist Charism has posted a number of useful and interesting items for Saint Gemma's Feast tomorrow, including the Mass of Saint Gemma Galgani .


It's been a while since Joe and I riffed together about Japan, and I know that I for one have missed his wit around here. Thusly, I've invited him to join m, once again providing the counterpoint for a topic we've both thought and talked a lot about: the dichotomous nature of technology in Japan. Just as a disclaimer, we both recognize that neither "side" is right, and neither of us feel vehemently one way or the other. But rather than lay out overly cautious and qualified articles about the delicate balance of tradition and technology, we present our second installment of For the Record.
So, is Japan the super hi-tech country that popular media make it out to be? The answer is both "yes" and "no;" but moreso "no."
"Whoa whoa whoa," I can almost hear you protesting. "We're talking about Japan, right? The land of dancing robots and holographic pop stars. And I'm pretty sure they are to thank for giant mechs. What are you talking about, Paul?"
Here. I can't be bothered to look for a picture of my old kitchen sink, but this photo is almost identical. Thank you, internet!
You have your faucet, which offers water of one temperature - ground water temperature. Then you have your grimey gas heater for when you want hot water. I don't know much about pipes or gas, but isn't there a simpler way to get hot water? I've never seen a modern home in the US equipped with water-heater-boxes.
Similarly my shower (whoops, I mean "bath," as I had no proper shower) operated only in cold mode. If I wanted to heat it, I had to fill my tub and then light an adjacent gas-fueled heater. Yes, just like how you'd heat water on your stovetop if you wanted to make tea or scald an interloper, this was part of my daily bathing ritual. And because I didn't have any integrated shower head/nozzle, whoever lived there before me had jury-rigged a laundry water pump and attached it to a hose and shower head. I eventually had to replace that pump and discovered that such devices are not intended for bathing. Electrocution was a very real concern at times. All because my old apartment, located about 20 minutes by train from Osaka, did not include modern plumbing.
Then there are the toilets. I'm sure Joe will extol the virtues of the hi-tech Japanese toilet, and I'll grant that they are pretty friggin' awesome. When you can find them. On some occasions your only option will be the exact opposite of that, which is a hole in the ground. My friend Shadow wrote a pretty good piece about this some time ago. Now I've read that the, ahem...posture required for using these things is superior to sitting down. I also had some cheeky student tell me that using these toilets promotes strong knees. Phff.
"Behold the wonders of the Japanese toilet!" - Shadow, probably.
Question for any of you who work or have worked in an office: how often do you use your fax machine? Right. Now tell that to Japan. For all their fancy broadband, some Japanese organizations are awfully slow to realize that scanners and email are things.
When I was in Japan, I saw a lot of VHS and mini discs.. My TV had an integrated VHS. Granted, this was a few years ago; maybe by now Japan has advanced to the DVD/DIVX format war. I guess I might be looking at a proverbial mote in this case, considering we have our own hipster-shaped planks trying to resurrect vinyl records. But then again we don't purport to be the society of tomorrow!
Have you ever watched Japanese talk or variety shows? One thing I've noticed is that instead of using blue screens and super cool graphics, a lot of J-programs use all kinds of arts-and-craftsy looking cutouts and dioramas. They're often attention-grabbing or cute, and they give the people on screen something to hold or do. But I can't help thinking that some poor guy behind the scenes probably spent like an hour creating that elaborate cue card that's only going to be shown for 5 seconds. And then what do they do with it? Same thing they do with the billions of disposable wooden chopsticks they go through, I guess.
Feed them to Matsuko Deluxe (not pictured).
Now don't get me wrong - I love a good pair of chopsticks. And I know this is not just a Japan thing. But hi-tech they are not. I think Jerry Seinfeld said it nicely.
I could go on, but I think it's pretty clear: Japan may have some tricks up its sleeve, but it's just not the hi-tech paradise it's made out to be.
Edited 8/14/2014: I had incorrectly called Matsuko Deluxe "Mariko Deluxe." Whoops.
I find the toilets and showers to be pretty nice. Maybe I just spend too much time in Tokyo. Chopsticks aren't so bad. I find certain types of cooking easier with chopsticks than western instruments. So there! And damn you Matsuko Deluxe will haunt my dreams for eternity.
Blackboards. Schools and even many universities have yet to develop white board technology. My city board of education bought electronic white boards for every elementary school a few years ago. Most ended up in storage because no one knew how to use them, and more than a few ended up being written on with white board markers which ruined the screens. The the BoE decided to provide ipads to each JHS, but of course the schools didn't have wifi, so they were just expensive paper weights. I could start ranting about Japanese web design, but if I do that I'll never stop, so in short, I'm totally on the low tech side of this one!
Gobbler - agreed, friend, chopsticks are pretty damn good (so arguably if it ain't broke, don't fix it). But the most technological country in the world should probably be feeding itself with nanobots or something.
Sophelia - Oh yeah! The two schools I worked at had whiteboards, but I did see a lot of blackboards at other schools. Electronic ones, though - wow! I would have loved to see those.
I like the fact Japan doesn't drop "the old" once something new comes along, the way that western countries seem to.
The ancient along with the ultra-modern. Rickshaws and electric cars, cassettes and MP3, faxes and snail-mail along with email!
That's definitely a valid preference, and there are "old things" in Japan I certainly love, too. But within practical limits, for me. I don't see the need for widespread use of mechanical typewriters or horse-drawn carriages, charming though they may be. Still, there can be decent reasons for some things. This may not be the reason fax machines are widely used in Japan, but they are more secure than email, for example.

Whenever I smell Chanel No 5, it doesn't make me feel nostalgic or remind me of my Grandmother… but really makes me laugh! When I was aged 5 my Dad bought my Mum a tiny 7ml Chanel No 5 Pure Perfume, which she kept pride of place on her bathroom shelf. One afternoon whilst playing Polly Pocket with my cousin, we decided it would be a great idea to use the pure perfume to fill Polly's swimming pool. As you can imagine, it didn't go down well and I was sent straight to my room. The empty glass bottle still sits on my Mum's shelf and whenever I see it, or smell the fragrance, I think back to Polly Pocket living a life of luxury in her pool of Chanel and can't help but smile.

Psychologist Abraham Maslow conducted early studies into peak states of mind similar to what traders and athletes describe as entering the zone. He studied self-actualized people who often reported peak experiences where they experienced a higher level of existence. Recently, psychologist Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi has studied people who experience "flow." Flow is an optimal mental state. It's the pure joy a person experiences when he or she engages in a challenging activity for its own right. All attention is focused on the task at hand. It's so engaging that one's sense of self is lost in the task. One of the best examples of flow is mountain climbing. It requires focused attention and it's extremely challenging.
When trading the markets, there are moments when everything just seems to click. These are moments when a trader is in tune with the ebb and flow of the markets. They sense what will happen next, and with absolutely no self-doubt or hesitation, they can freely and effortlessly execute trade after trade. At that point, the trader moves into a higher level of psychological existence, losing his or her sense of self in the process of trading. All attention is focused on the trade. It's a pleasurable, rewarding mental state. In this ideal state of mind, a trader has a mental edge, but the challenge is how to get there and stay there.
Although it's desirable to trade in a peak performance mental state, it is often difficult to achieve. Traders are human, and humans have a natural inclination to avoid risks, and feel a little apprehension when putting their money or their ego on the line. Perhaps it's impossible to always trade in the zone, but it may be useful to strive to reach this ideal state of mind.
Research studies have shown that flow experiences tend to occur when eight conditions are met. The more you can meet each of these eight conditions while trading, the more trading will be an enjoyable flow experience for you.
1.) The task or goal must be possible to complete. In other words, immediate goals can't be too abstract or too high. When it comes to trading, for example, it is best to just execute a trade rather than being overly concerned with profits or achieving unrealistic performance standards.
2.) A person must be able to intensely concentrate on what he or she is doing. While trading, it's vital that you have a detailed trading plan and control risk so that you can focus on monitoring the trade. It's also essential that you maintain control over your psychological conflicts and life stressors so that they don't interfere with your concentration.
3.) The task must have clear goals. See below.
4.) The task must have immediate feedback. Trading tends to be a flowing experience because the goals are often clear and the feedback immediate. Again, a detailed trading plan helps you keep the goals clear. Similarly, the proper signals specified beforehand allows for immediate feedback.
5.) A flow experience involves deep and effortless involvement. People are so involved that the everyday worries of life tend to be cast aside when in a flow state, but this is difficult to do if you have too many worries. That's why it is vital to devote effort to reducing worries that lurk in the back of your mind. By avoiding trading with scared money, you will feel more calm, for example. Also, if you are having a bad day, it is useful to stand aside until you regain your ability to cultivate a calm state of mind.
6.) While in a flow experience, people have a decisive sense of control over all their actions.
7.) One loses the sense of self while in a flow experience. Some traders report that when they are engaged in trading, they are so focused on their experience that they are no longer self-conscious; there is no self-doubt or self-reproach. They just focus on trading.
8.) Finally, time seems to just slip away while in a flow experience. Hours can go by like minutes, for example.
What is the best way to achieve these eight conditions? It is always useful to remember the basics, such as managing risk, using a reliable trading strategy, and thinking in probabilities. Unless you use these basic strategies, it will be difficult to achieve a mental edge. The rest of the conditions will present themselves after you gain a wealth of experience. Facing the unknown is fearful. The more you know, the less fear you will have. So if you don't tend to experience flow right now, be patient. Over time you will gain a familiarity with the markets that will allow you to enter an ideal mental state. And finally, you must love trading and see it as inherently valuable. If it is only about the money, you will dread doing it. But if you approach trading for its own sake, as an intrinsically rewarding, enjoyable experience, you will trade more profitably in the long run. And more importantly, you'll enjoy the journey along the way.

is a 2004 Japanese anime series based on the manga of the same name by Mitsuteru Yokoyama. It was animated by Genco and Palm Studio and written and directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa. The series has been released in the United States under its original name by Geneon and in the United Kingdom by Manga Entertainment, the first time a Tetsujin-28 property has not been localized to Gigantor in America or other English speaking nations. It was then rescued by Discotek Media for a SD Blu-ray release on September 25, 2018, with the movie (being released as Morning Moon of Midday) released on sub-only Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack on January 29, 2019. While not fully based on the original manga, it followed an extremely different storyline than in the 1960s series.

Plot
The story takes place ten years after World War II, approximately the same time as the manga debuted, focused mainly on Shotaro's pursuit to control and fully understand Tetsujin's capabilities, all the while encountering previous creations and scientists from the Tetsujin Project.

Cast

Shotaro Kaneda
Professor Shikishima
Chief Ootsuka
Kenji Murasame
Dr. Furanken

Episodes

Video game
On July 1, 2004, a video game was released for the PlayStation 2 developed by Sandlot and published by Bandai. In it you control Tetsujin 28 from the point of view of Shotaro Kaneda. The control method is slightly simplified compared to Sandlot's other giant robot games such as Robot Alchemic Drive, allowing you to fly Tetsujin 28, and well as have him pick up buildings, enemies, and even Shotaro to safely transport him away from a battle zone. The game uses the same voice actors from the series, though it takes presentation cues from the original 1950's manga, as well as the kaiju film genre.

Reception

The series got a mostly positive reception from critics.

Philippines senator defends police over toddler's death in drugs raid
Ronald dela Rosa says 'shit happens during operations' after three-year-old girl killed
A senator who oversaw the most violent period in the Philippines' war on drugs has dismissed the killing of a three-year-old girl in a police drug operation as collateral damage, stating that "shit happens".
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/05/philippines-senator-dela-rosa-defends-police-over-toddlers-death-in-drugs-raid
Duterte's enforcer says 'we are at war', has no regrets about killings
Duterte has often called for the killing of drug dealers. And Dela Rosa has echoed the incendiary remarks. At a speech last month, he encouraged users and pushers to kill drug lords who had grown rich from exploiting the poor.
"You know who are the drug lords here, go to their houses, pour gasoline, set it on fire, show them you are angry at them," he said.
Still, Dela Rosa's close operational knowledge of the drug war could make him a focus if there is ever an independent investigation into the killings, said Rose Trajano, secretary general of the Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates, a nationwide coalition based in Manila. It is unclear, though, whether anyone will be in a position to hold such an investigation.

Philippines senator draws flak over toddler's drug-raid death comments
"Of course you need to secure everything - no collateral damage. But if you infiltrate, it's not really possible," Mr Dela Rosa told a news conference, dismissing allegations by the dead girl's family that the father had been unarmed.
"No one wants that to happen, but shit happens. During operations shit happens," Mr Dela Rosa added.

Senator Bato Dela Rosa is no exception to the rule when US asked for applicants to present their social media accounts as they check on human rights violation issues linked to the US Visa applicant. But unfortunately, Senator Bato Dela Rosa's previous statements are not only on social media, but also on worldwide or International news.
U.S. Requiring Social Media Information From Visa Applicants
Visa applicants to the United States are required to submit any information about social media accounts they have used in the past five years under a State Department policy that started on Friday.
Such account information would give the government access to photos, locations, dates of birth, dates of milestones and other personal data commonly shared on social media.
"We already request certain contact information, travel history, family member information, and previous addresses from all visa applicants," the State Department said in a statement. "We are constantly working to find mechanisms to improve our screening processes to protect U.S. citizens, while supporting legitimate travel to the United States."

The opera house built on medicine: Woodbury's G.G. Green Block
Ever since we found the curious meridian markers in Flemington earlier this year, I've made it a point to visit a county seat if I'm nearby, just to see if the obelisks are still near the courthouse. I've only found them in Somerville and Mount Holly, but I'm hopeful for the rest. Even if I don't find them, the quest gives me reason to get to all 21 of New Jersey's county courthouses eventually.
I made the trek to Woodbury the other day while I was in Gloucester County, and unfortunately I came up dry. The 1885 Romanesque courthouse replaced the original 1790s structure and may have also eaten up the space where the obelisks were stationed in the 1860s. The mystery continues!
County seats usually have an interesting story or two lurking about; in older times, they were often the largest and wealthiest communities in their respective areas. While some of them are a bit down on the heels these days, there's always a sign of past glories to be found.
Woodbury didn't disappoint. Along with some lovely looking older homes and commercial buildings, I came across what looks like a massive rebuilding effort behind the facade of the G.G. Green Block building downtown. What I didn't know was that the structure was essentially built on patent medicine, and it's a symbol of the city's prosperity in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Born in nearby Clarksboro, George Gill Green left the University of Pennsylvania medical school in 1864 to fight in the Civil War with the 142nd Illinois Regiment. Following the war, he used his medical training to start three medicine companies - first in Baltimore and then in Ohio. He returned to New Jersey in 1872 with his young family, but rather than starting fresh, he bought the rights to manufacture and market two patent medicines his father had been making and distributing. The business grew thanks to aggressive advertising, and Green became Woodbury's first multimillionaire as the city grew in prominence within the medicine industry.
Using some of his wealth, Green built a substantial building on Broad Street, in the city's business district. The G.G. Green Block reportedly held an opera house and an upstairs ballroom, an arrangement that was repeated in several prosperous towns around New Jersey. A few years later, he purchased a hotel in Pasadena, California, which was then a popular recuperation resort for tuberculosis patients. Renaming the property Hotel Green, he later built an addition called Castle Green for extended stay guests.
Green's patent medicine empire dwindled with the passage of the federal Food and Drug Act in 1906, which required that manufacturers had to be truthful in their advertising claims. Perhaps his products made users feel better, it was more likely that they were affected by the laudanum (or as it's known now, tincture of opium) in them than by any ingredient that actually cured what ailed them.
The opera house within the G.G. Green Block was eventually converted to a movie house, the Rialto, and other parts of the building were used for a variety of purposes until the building was shut down in 2002. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, the building's future was in doubt as it continued to deteriorate and one development plan after another stalled. The final blow appeared to be the 2011 Virginia earthquake, believe it or not; parts of the facade crumbled to the sidewalk, bringing the building's structural integrity into question.
In an interesting turn of events, a real estate developer experienced in historic properties purchased the Green building earlier this year. They plan to convert the building for combined retail and residential use while restoring the exterior, and historic preservation organizations are optimistic about the outcome. It may not revert back to its opera house past, but it appears that the G.G. Green block will regain its status as one of the grandest facades in town.
And who knows? Maybe there will be a drug store at street level.

G.G. Green was truly a remarkable gentleman. Not only did he build the opera house, he also constructed beautiful residences including his own palatial mansion (http://preservewoodbury.blogspot.com/search?q=gray+towers), factory buildings, Merritt's drugstore block, a horse and bicycle racing tracks, and more. He is also responsible for the building of Green Avenue in Pennington which at the time linked Pennington Seminary to the railroad station.

NCAA President Mark Emmert: If there is to be College Sports in the Fall, We Need to Get a Much Better Handle on the Pandemic
As Coronavirus infection rates continue to spike, the status of NCAA fall sports, including college football, is still up in the air. Thursday, the NCAA issued its next set of return-to-sport guidelines and with it came a grim statement from President Mark Emmert:
"When we made the extremely difficult decision to cancel last spring's championships it was because there was simply no way to conduct them safely," said Emmert. "This document lays out the advice of health care professionals as to how to resume college sports if we can achieve an environment where COVID-19 rates are manageable. Today, sadly, the data point in the wrong direction. If there is to be college sports in the fall, we need to get a much better handle on the pandemic."
Recommendations from the NCAA Sport Science Institute include:
Daily self-health checks.
The appropriate use of face coverings and social distancing during training, competition and outside of athletics.
Testing strategies for all athletics activities, including pre-season, regular season and post-season.
Testing and results within 72 hours of competition in high contact risk sports.
Member schools must adhere to public health standards set by their local communities.
"Any recommendation on a pathway toward a safe return to sport will depend on the national trajectory of COVID-19 spread," said Brian Hainline, NCAA chief medical officer. "The idea of sport resocialization is predicated on a scenario of reduced or flattened infection rates."
Some conferences like the MEAC and Ivy League have already announced the cancellation of fall sports, while others like the Big-10 and Pac-12 have moved to a conference only format. The ACC and SEC are delaying decisions until the end of July. But if one is to infer the status of college football and other fall sports based on Mark Emmert's statement, it's not looking good.

Mike Figgis Directing Josie Ho's 'Mother Tongue' in Hong Kong
"Mother Tongue," a suspense thriller directed by two-time Academy Award nominee Mike Figgis ("Leaving Las Vegas," "Internal Affairs") starts shooting in Hong Kong this week. It stars and is produced by actor-singer-producer Josie Ho ("Contagion," "Lucky Day").
Figgis and Ho will hold a start-of production ceremony Wednesday at Hong Kong's Shaw Studios. Production is expected to last until April with the completed film having set a tentative release schedule in January 2022.
Ho plays two characters. The first is an award-winning actress who is involved in a relationship with a younger woman played by Minami ("Battle Royale") while in search of her long lost daughter, behind her partner's back. She also plays the actress's bitter sister.
Bruce Wagner ("Maps to the Stars," "Wild Palms") penned the script and Ho is producing the film together with Conroy Chan, with whom she co-founded film entertainment 852 Films. "Mother Tongue" also stars Julian Sands ("A Room With A View"), Elaine Jin ("Mad World") and Canon Nawata ("Love Dart").
Ho has also recently appeared in American drama "Habit," the directorial debut of Janell Shirtcliff to be released this year, and period epic "Rajah," in which she plays the lover of British adventurer Sir James Brooke (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers). Ho and 852 Films are also working with "American History X" director Tony Kaye on musical documentary feature "The Hong Kong Sound" and two projects with Luc Besson ("Leon: The Professional," "Lucy").
The daughter of the late Macau gambling tycoon Stanley Ho, Ho has shown considerable entrepreneurial flair and activities across the entertainment industry. 852 Films – the number is a reference to the international dialing code for Hong Kong – was established in 2007 with Chan and talent manager and producer Andrew Ooi.

Francia Raisa Says Selena Gomez Is Family After Kidney Transplant: "She Has My Blood"
Francia Raisa has opened up about the kidney transplant that helped save Selena Gomez's life.
The Grown-ish actress sat down with Harry Connick Jr. for an interview that will air this upcoming Monday, February 19 on Harry and talked about giving her BFF her kidney.
"Well, so our surgery was in June, our fans didn't find out about it until September," Francia told Harry (via Just Jared). "We wanted that privacy. It was a big surgery. She felt bad about even having me do that because we are just friends, I am not her family or anything. Well, I am now. She has my blood."
Francia continued, "She felt bad. We just wanted our families around and it was cool because now I have a big family. I lost my grandparents when I was younger…Her grandparents are my grandparents now and so I have this extension of a family and it's been really amazing."
Selena and Francia revealed the transplant news in September, sharing a picture from the hospital on Instagram.
"So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health," Selena wrote to her fans. "There aren't words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed."
Talking about the recovery process on Harry, Francia shared, "It's harder as the donor because we are losing something our body didn't need to lose, so trying to recover from that and she's gaining something her body needed. So she's up and at it immediately and I had a hard time."
She went on to discuss the surgery and her post-surgery scars.
"I basically have four scars," she told the host. "It was laparoscopic, those mothers out there who had C-sections, I feel you. I don't know how you take care of a child afterwards. It is crazy! I couldn't get up without having someone help me. That was very humbling. I couldn't take a shower by myself, I had to have someone help me because I couldn't move."
She continued, "I'm a very, very active person, so the fact that my doctor said I couldn't move for two months. Two months, I couldn't do anything active. All I could do was walk. That was very hard for me and I have a dog and every day the thing I look forward to is drinking my coffee and walking and I couldn't do that. It was really, really hard."
Since the surgery, Francia has proudly displayed her scars on Instagram and on the red carpet.


It blew up a bit last weekend and I expected that there would be loads of fresh weed in the water. These are the conditions when Idotea come in to feed on the weed and when the bass come in to feed on the Idotea. Anyway, I got up early (too early - because of the heavy cloud cover it was still black) and made my way down to the coast. I wasn't the only one with the idea that there might be bass to catch because when I arrived I found my pals Rob and Mike already casting away. Sure enough it was weedy in the water's edge and the sea was a sort of grey murky colour. I had already tied on the soft plastic lure that I've been using lately and I was sure that it would fish through the weed soup without a problem. For twenty minutes we all spun assiduously with no hint of a bite then, suddenly, I was into a fish. the bass was no great size (perhaps a couple of pounds) but I was pleased to get one. As it got lighter we noticed one or two nice fish tailing in the edge, obviously they were gorging on Idotea but they were so preoccupied that our lures were of no interest to them.
After another fishless half-hour I left the other lads to it and set off back to the car. I'd noticed that my hybrid, soft plastic lure was beginning to come apart at the join so I swapped it for another one that I'd made. Of course, on my way back I couldn't resist a few chucks and it wasn't long before I had a second bite and hooked another bass even smaller than the first one. Typical of small bass my fish thrashed its way to the shore and I slid it onto the rocks to take a picture. It was only when I tried to remove the hook that I noticed that the back half of my lure had gone. The wild antics of the little bass had clearly detached the tail and I couldn't find it anywhere - downer! Clearly I hadn't done a very good job with the superglue. I packed in and went home intending to redo my other 'Slandra' before coming out again. My eldest son, who's a chemist, suggested that I try roughening the plastic surfaces a bit before glueing the bits together.
The next morning I decided to have another go. My intention was to find a feeding bass and dangle a squid on its nose. Sure enough, when I got to the spot, the fish were grovelling away in the margin. My pal Richard was plugging but I stuck to my plan and lowered the squid in front of a feeding fish. Nothing!!! to be honest I wasn't surprised because, in years gone by, I've done the same thing on a number of occasions. Within minutes the squid is covered in Idotea but, the bass just don't seem to pick up on it. Bizarre! Richard moved on to try elsewhere and told me when he came back that he'd had one small bass. In fact after half-an-hour I'd seen the writing on the wall. the bass weren't going to gobble up my freelined squids so I thought I'd switch back to the repaired 'Slandra' for a final go. On about my tenth cast. Wallop! "Bass!" I thought and raised the rod as the tightly set clutch buzzed and gave line. It was obvious that I'd hooked a decent fish but after a minute or so of give and take I saw a large, brown back break the surface - it was a big ballan wrasse. Now I've never had a wrasse on the new lure before so I was quite keen to land it and took my time before sliding it ashore. It proved to be a fine ballan of well over four pounds well hooked on the single hook. The only real surprise was that the wrasse had clearly grabbed the lure well in front of the mid-section. On plugs wrasse are generally hooked on the tail treble. You live and learn.


Planning to succeed in every stage of your financial life.
In theory personal finance shouldn't be gender-specific, but in fact women tend to face some unique challenges when it comes to managing their money and maintaining a financially stable household. With that in mind, resources that focus on women and these unique financial challenges they face can be helpful when you're trying to creating effective plans for your own life.
The resources in this section are designed to help women understand how to get ahead in an often-biased world. This information can help you overcome things like income challenges and avoid common pitfalls like a lack of savings before you decide to have kids. If you're currently struggling with debt and you need help to take control of your finance, call Consolidated Credit today at 1-888-294-3130 to speak confidentially with a certified credit counselor at no charge.
Women are the primary breadwinners in 4 out of 10 households.
Roughly 60% of couples with children under age 18 both work.
It costs $250,000 to raise a child to the age of 18 – and that doesn't even include college tuition!
The first stage for most women after they leave their parents' home is to head to college. During the years in school, students tend to control at least some of their own financial destinies. As you move through school, you generally become more and more financially independent until you graduate and truly strike out on your own.
Build an effective budget for school. Use the tips you can find in Consolidated Credit's Budgeting 101 section to custom tailor a budget that helps you manage your money effectively as you work to get your degree.
Don't run out to get credit at 21. The Credit CARD Act prohibits creditors from sending offers to you until you're 21. After that, they may start to flood your mailbox. But just because you're eligible to get a card, it doesn't mean you need one.
Avoid high-interest store cards. Young women are prime targets for up-selling in-store credit cards when you're out shopping at your favorite stores. Store credit cards tend to have much higher interest rates and strict usage terms. Don't sign up for the card, unless you know it's giving you more than a high risk of debt.
Stay on top of your bills. Late payments and collection accounts can ruin your credit. Make sure you pay your bills on time to avoid credit damage. Even if it's a service bill for something like utilities, pay it on time! New alternative credit score models are being considered that would use things like utility payments to prove you're a responsible borrower. So on-time payments may help you down the road, too.
Don't go overboard with specialty products. Incidental expenses like department or specialty makeup or salon hair care products can really start to add up once you start paying for things yourself. Switch to less expensive products and avoid specialty brands.
On that subject, don't shop by brand at all. From the clothes on your back to the food on your table, brand names simply cost more. Whenever possible, go for generic or discount brands – your budget will thank you for learning this lesson early.
Go cheap on girls' nights. Don't go overboard at high-end restaurants and bars that overcharge. Look for ladies' night specials and split appetizers or share plates to keep the cost down.
Once you finish school and start to focus on full-time employment, your financial plans need to evolve in order to set a solid foundation for the future. The more positive steps you take for your finances now, the easier it will be to reach your financial goals in the future.
Negotiate your salary! It can be tempting to take the first offer you get as you enter the workforce, but you need to make sure you're being paid for what the position you're taking is worth. Check salary ranges and negotiate actively with employers.
Create a household budget. Once you get your first job and have a starting salary level, build a more formal household budget. This will help you avoid overspending and prevent you from using credit cards to get by, which can cause problems with debt.
Start paying your student loans off now. Options like deferment can delay repayment if you don't have a job, but once you secure a position make a plan that pays off your student debt as quickly as possible. Even if you're not struggling to make payments, consider a student loan debt consolidation plan that allows you to pay back what you owe quickly. If you're having trouble, consider consolidation programs for low income.
Set up retirement savings early. The earlier you start saving for retirement, the more money you'll have and the less you'll have to push to catch up later in life. By age 30, you want to have at least one retirement account open – either an IRA or 401(k) through your employer. By age 35 you should have one times your annual salary already saved up in that account.
Start your emergency fund. Initially, you'll want to save up at least $1,000 so you can cover unexpected expenses, repairs and medical emergencies without relying on a credit card. Eventually, your fund should grow to equal about 3-6 months of bills and expenses in your budget.
Get new credit with caution. By now, you may have or want to have at least 1-2 credit cards. Always keep the number of cards minimized and only open accounts you really need for a specific strategic purpose.
Pay off debt quickly. On any account that you open, keep the debt minimized. Ideally you want to pay off everything you borrow in-full each billing cycle. If you make a purchase that will take more than one billing cycle to pay off, make sure to put that purchase on your credit card with the lowest interest rate.
Check your credit at least once every year. The more you open new lines of credit and take out loans, you need to check your credit report once each year to ensure it's error-free. You can get free credit reports every 12 months through annualcreditreport.com.
Achieving financial stability on your own is tough enough, but once you bring another person with a different set of philosophies into the mix, it can get even more complicated. Although you may reap the benefits of another income, if you partner has financial issues they can potentially drag you down, too, if you're not careful.
Don't wait to have the money talk. As soon as you start to get serious, you should start talking about key money issues. Amounts of debt, credit history, banking philosophy and budget strategies should all be discussed to make sure you're on the same page.
Designate financial responsibilities. Decide who is paying what – particularly if you're not opting for joint accounts. Make sure all the bills are covered and non-billable expenses like groceries are divided up strategically.
Make sure you're both saving. It's likely to cause problems is one of you is going out of your way to save while the other is having fun spending. Make sure both of you are on board with your saving strategy.
Check your credit before you tie the knot. Although you both will maintain your own credit profiles even after you get married, it's important to know where your credit scores are. One half having bad credit shouldn't be a deal breaker, but it will affect your ability to get financing as a couple in the future. So help your partner build better credit.
Define your long-term financial goals together. Talk about when you want to buy your first house, how soon you want to have kids, and what you want to do during retirement. Once you know how these big goals will play out, you can start planning ahead.
Kids are great, but they also certainly present a big challenge to your financial stability. You add significant financial burden to your budget with pre and post-natal care, a constant stream of clothes they outgrow, back to school shopping (the second most expensive shopping season of the year, after the winter holidays), extracurricular activities, family vacations, and a continual stream of "Buy me…" requests.
Don't wait to start saving. Ideally you want to have a healthy level of savings before you decide to have kids. If you want children, start saving now – even if you aren't to the point of having them yet. And don't stop saving, since a baby could become twins or triplets which would double or triple your cost.
Take advantage of startup programs. Start saving as early as possible for your children's college tuition with something like a 529 college savings plan. You may also want to consider pay-ahead tuition and insurance programs, like the Gerber Grow Up Plan.
Have the right insurance. Make sure that the medical, dental and vision costs for your children will be covered. A trip to the ER that isn't covered properly by your insurance could easily end up in collections and cost you your good credit. Also, consider life insurance for yourself and your partner in case something happens to one or both of you.
Teach the right financial lessons early. It's never too early to start teaching your kids the value of a dollar. Make sure to teach your kids about budgeting. Also, take steps to show them how credit works and why savings is essential so they start learning these valuable lessons early.
Don't hide your situation when money is tight. Parents often try to shield children from any negativity, but you could be hurting your budget and your kids' financial learning by hiding problems. Be honest and use the opportunity to teach them about overcoming financial challenges together as a family.
Not including college education, it costs an estimated $245,340 to raise one child to the age of 18 in the United States.
Making your retirement dreams into reality is tough regardless of your gender. However, women often face a tougher battle to achieve their retirement goals. Then tend to have less in retirement account and weaker investment portfolios.
Don't rely on Social Security as your sole income. No one is certain what will happen to Social Security in the coming years. Benefits could be the same when you retire or they could be less. A robust retirement strategy will help you achieve your goals without significant dependence on these benefits.
Take advantage of your company 401(k). Don't wait to start using 401(k) retirement plan as soon as they're offered. A little money out of each paycheck as early as possible will go a long way when you're ready to retire.
Supplement your 401(k) with an IRA. Diversify your retirement accounts by opening a private IRA or Roth IRA. Always contribute to your 401(k) first if your company offers some kind of dollar-for-dollar match program up to a certain point, but then put extra retirement contributions into your own account.
Consider long-term investments. If you get or collect lump sums of cash during your life, consider putting them into stable long-term investments, such as CDs or bonds. Even an MMA account will offer better growth than your regular savings account. Putting this money into special investments also helps you avoid spending it.
Pay off your mortgage before you retire. The last thing you need on a fixed income after retirement is the big expense of a mortgage. A paid-off home means one less bill to worry about. It also gives you some security that no matter what happens in your financial situation, you should be able to keep your home.
Don't take on debt to help family. Parents and grandparents often put their own financial stability at risk during retirement to help family. You're on a fixed income and taking on high-interest credit card debt to help someone out puts you at risk.
Don't be afraid of reverse mortgages. If you've owned your home for a long time and you almost or already have the mortgage paid off, reverse mortgages are a safe way for homeowners age 62 and over to access valuable equity without monthly payments.
54% of women plan to retire after age 65 or not at all; almost half (49%) plan to work at least part-time.
Not every woman will go through divorce during her lifetime, but even separation after a serious relationship can present challenges for your finances. When your life path takes a detour, you have to take steps to get yourself back on the right financial path as you move forward on your own.
Have a detailed list of accounts and assets you share. Make sure you know what you both have so you can ensure it is divided up appropriately. Being informed can help you avoid getting shortchanged.
Divide assets and close out joint accounts as quickly as possible. A divorce proceeding will do this for you, but if you're ending a long-term relationship without divorce then sometimes joint accounts and jointly held credit cards linger. You don't want your ex's bad credit habits driving down your credit score. Close the accounts and pay off any debt quickly. Don't just assume your ex will be responsible with payments.
Check your credit reports once accounts are closed. Take advantage of the free credit report you can obtain once per year to make sure that all joint accounts have been closed and you aren't tied to your ex in any way credit-wise. You can download your free credit reports through annualcreditreport.com.
Develop a new household budget. Both your income and expenses will change during separation, so you need to take accurate stock of your situation. Take time to create a new budget for your household so you know where you stand. It can also help you determine the target income you need to aim for to regain financial stability.
Don't hesitate to ask for support – especially for kids. Sometimes we let pride get in the way of good financial sense. Don't avoid asking the courts to order support, particularly if it's child support. Your kids deserve to grow up with every advantage possible even if pride tells you not to take money from your ex.
Consider assistance programs – particularly if you feel like you're in danger. Many charity organizations exist that are designed to help women get a fresh start. If you are in an abusive or dangerous situation, look into assistance programs that can help you get out and get set up on your own.
Women face an average 37% drop in household income after a divorce and the percentage of women in poverty doubles following separation.

Review: Verse Chorus Verse (Tympanic Theatre)
The Tragedy of Grunge, Redux
Tympanic Theatre presents
Verse Chorus Verse
Written by Randall Colburn
Directed by Kyra Lewandowski
at side project theatre, 1439 W. Jarvis (map)
through May 1 | tickets: $12-$15 | more info
Not being a slave to rock 'n' roll, I've listened, puzzled, to people exclaiming that a certain rock band or music genre saved their lives. I'm equally flummoxed at the notion that any single music artist could be dubbed "the voice of a generation"—there are, after all, so many voices and the most deserving frequently fail to receive widespread attention. Nevertheless, fame places crowns upon a few–that some musicians end in tragedy only serves to superglue that dubious diadem upon the troubled rocker's brow. Such is the life and music of Kurt Cobain. Tympanic Theatre's latest production, Verse Chorus Verse, pulls its audience into the milieu of grunge fans, reporters and revivalists marked by Cobain's death. It's as if, from the moment he pulled the trigger, time stopped and all hope of going forward was lost.
Actually, Randall Colburn's interesting new play, under Kyra Lewandowski's direction at the Side Project Theatre, begins at a far earlier point in the Cobain legend. Fourteen year old Polly (Victoria Gilbert) gets kidnapped, raped and tortured by Gerald Friend (Neal Starbird ), who lures her into his car after a punk rock concert–the very same Polly becomes the heroine of Nirvana's eponymous song on their album "Nevermind". Flash forward twenty years later, the older Polly now fascinates Garret Leskin (Kevin Crispin), a budding grunge star heralded as the new Cobain, who thoroughly believes that Cobain was murdered. The play's structure oscillates between the past and present, between that fateful kidnapping and its emotional reverberations far into the future.
For all the dialogue around Cobain and the burden of living up to his legend, the story really belongs to Polly. Gilbert gives a passionate edge to her role's pathos. Polly is drug-addicted, trapped in the past, and, since becoming enshrined in Cobain's lyrics, hardly able to see beyond the boundaries of her own legend. The murder mystery that Garret hopes to unravel through her is tangled in half-cooked fictions, inchoate emotional desperation and age-old resentments over who got fame and who got left behind. Dennis Frymore puts in a tough, grilling performance as Mason Dwyer, lead of the Satanic Metal Band, Yeti, who has lost his guitarist Terry (Jon Patrick Penick) to Garret's up-and-coming band, Samsara.
Lewandoski's direction also hangs pretty tough—making the most of the black box at Side Project with a spare but versatile set by Dustin Pettegrew. She squeezes every moment for tension and suspense from her cast, shifting between scenes where rockers spar over competing narratives and otherworldly scenes in which Polly survives her kidnapping by Friend, moment by moment, under a starry sky. This doesn't mean Verse Chorus Verse is perfect. A few fellow audience members confessed to being confused over its alternating shifts between past and present. Plus, the show will obviously carry more meaning for viewers steeped in rock culture. But both the work and production show sophistication, even with its characters' simplistic pre-occupation with fame. Everyone just wants to be remembered, even Mr. Friend, in a chilling performance by Starbird, tries to be remembered by leaving his marks on Polly's flesh.
Verse Chorus Verse continues through April 7th at side project theatre (1439 W. Jarvis), with performances Thursday thru Saturday at 8:00pm, Sunday at 7pm. Tickets are $15 general admission ($12 for senior/student/industry), and can be purchased online. For more info, go to www.tympanictheatre.org.

Muerte Del Maestro by Joshua Mikel
November 28th – December 22nd, 2010
Sundays at 7pm, Mondays through Wednesdays at 8pm at The Side Project (1439 W. Jarvis Ave.)
Set against the savage backdrop of the bullfighting world in Atlantia, Spain, Muerte Del Maestro tells the story of Arturo and Kay Kay, two best friends who are pushed to bitter ends after the death of famed matador La Muerte Negra, as they both seek the notorious matador's vacant throne. This thrilling piece will be directed by Adam Webster, Artistic Director of The Side Project.
Verse Chorus Verse by Randall Colburn
April 7th – May 1st, 2011
Thursdays through Sundays at 8pm at The Side Project (1439 W. Jarvis Ave.)
Twenty years after the death of Kurt Cobain, media attention is drawn to an up-and-coming musical artist who may be the reincarnation of the deceased rock legend. When a former lover of Cobain's emerges from the past, she pulls the musician and several others into another dimension in an attempt to revitalize Cobain completely, but instead uncovers unsettling truths about addiction, destiny, and rebirth. Verse Chorus Verse will be part of a unique workshop process this Winter, culminating in a publicly staged reading at the end of January 2011, prior to its full production in April, which opens on the anniversary weekend of Cobain's death.

You've been working in construction for almost 15 years, and you know the hazards and workarounds your employer uses to save money—at your and your co-workers safety expense. Since you're aware of the "inner-workings" and neglected safety protocols, instead of raising a fuss and potentially endangering your job, you've just taken extra personal precautions.
However, your son has decided that he wants to work beside you, and begin a career in construction. As soon as he made that decision, you knew that you had to do something. Therefore, you filed an anonymous complaint to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Office in order to get a full safety inspection before your son started.
Today is the day that the investigation is supposed to start, and you're anxious to know what they will discover.
Working in construction is an extremely dangerous profession. The United States Department of Labor believes that the construction industry has the highest fatal injury rate than any other industry in the U.S. As a result of this alarming determination, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been instructed by the government to take their regulations of construction safety extremely seriously.
Fall protection – Failing to use harnesses and straps.
Protection from falling objects and debris – Failure to use braces, overhead barriers, and hard hats.
Adequate scaffolding to prevent collapse – Missing reinforced joints, stable bases, and adequate bracings.
Ladders – Many ladders are not in good working condition.
Head and body protective gear – Failing to provide hard hats, leather overalls, and gloves.
Hazard communication – Failure to provide walkie-talkies, adequate training, and hazard plans.
General safety and health provisions – Missing first aid kits and working fire extinguishers.
Electrical safety – Not providing training, gloves, and rubber-coated tools.
Equipment safety – Failure to provide training, maintenance, and additional manpower to help control situations.
Chemical safety – Not supplying training, adequate disposal, or proper gear.
Your employer should always—without exception—follow every rule and safeguard OSHA requires for construction safety. If your employer fails to comply with one of these standards, the risk of injury is significant. In a best case scenario, an accident could cause you to lose a few days of work and perhaps a few stitches. The worst case scenario? You could wind up paralyzed, brain damaged, lose a limb—or even die.
Safety should always come first in any job—this is especially true in the dangerous field of construction work. Help your friends, family, and co-workers get the information they need to stay safe. Share this page on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus, and post it in your workroom to help decrease construction injuries and increase construction safety awareness.
Need more information about construction safety? Feel free to browse our site to see how our vast experience and knowledge may be able to help you. You can also contact us directly for a free consultation and more information about your injury claim and rights.
