It's time to rewrite your retirement expectations
How confident are you that you're truly prepared for what retirement may throw your way? Eighty-four percent of respondents who have a plan are confident about their retirement.
A flood of Baby Boomers entering retirement is reshaping perspectives about life after work. Rather than considering retirement as the final chapter of their lives, Baby Boomers of today are finding an opportunity to plan for more of an extended "encore."
"Traditional retirement as we know it, where individuals disengage and then kick back, does not seem as applicable today," says David Brown, manager of wealth consulting for RBC Wealth Management-U.S.
Part of this change is due in part to the fact that Americans are living longer. For an average couple age 65, there's close to a 50 percent chance at least one spouse will live to age 94 and a 25 percent chance of one living to at least 98. This could mean a retirement spanning decades.
Learning from experience
Given the changing nature of retirement, Americans are likely to encounter some surprises as they embark on the next stage of their life. However, the experiences of already-retired Americans can offer insight into how their expectations, concerns and goals prior to retirement changed once they retired.
My transition into retirement was better than I expected
"Baby Boomers who are still working can benefit from the experiences of Boomers who are enjoying retirement," says Angie O'Leary, head of wealth planning at RBC Wealth Management-U.S.
An Ipsos survey, conducted on behalf of RBC Wealth Management-U.S., reveals how expectations differ for recent retirees and those heading into retirement.
Rewriting Retirement, a survey which captured responses from 1,400 Americans—half in pre-retirement and half already retired—found Boomers yet to retire list travel as their top goal once they leave the workforce. In comparison, top goals for those already in retirement include spending time with family, maintaining an active lifestyle, and volunteering.
Pre-retirees and retirees differ in their top concerns for retirement. Prior to retirement, financial issues such as the risk of outliving assets and funding health care later in life are top of mind, according to the survey. For those already retired, priorities change to more holistic matters – maintaining a quality of life, minimizing the risk of mental or physical decline and not wanting to become a burden to their families.
Your retirement in three acts
"Boomers increasingly perceive retirement as an opportunity to explore new things and find more meaning," says O'Leary. And given the lengthy nature of typical retirements today, retirement should no longer be viewed as a single block of time in your lifespan.

"Be prepared for the reality that things will change in your life as you grow older," O'Leary says. "A key is to retain a future-focused and flexible plan that can be adapted to meet the challenges and opportunities that occur through a long period in retirement."
Top retirement catalysts
Age 51% 34%
Changes at work 27% 36%
Financial milestone 15% 7%
O'Leary also suggests viewing retirement in stages, pointing out that Baby Boomers may find that retirement plays out in three acts:
Act one: Re-energizing
Leaving a life focused around a career represents a major transition. While taking a break from the workaday world may be a relief, you may find yourself wanting to continue an active lifestyle. "I've had people tell me they spent a lifetime setting goals for retirement," Brown says, "but now that they are retired, they want to find something more productive to do with their time."
Along with travel and renewed interest in a hobby, more Baby Boomers realize the importance of being involved during retirement, which could mean continuing to work on a reduced scale, getting involved with charitable organizations or even taking on childcare duties with grandkids. "A social community and working in some way, shape or form is healthy for those who have left work in a more traditional sense," says Brown.
Act two: Downshifting
Heading into your 70s, your energy level may not be what it once was. "This is when most people find a need to settle down a bit more," says O'Leary. Often, physical decline makes it more challenging to travel, maintain your home and stay active with your hobbies. Downsizing and simplifying your life may be top of mind. Maintaining family, social connections and physical activity remain important at this point in life. But it's reasonable to expect the pace of life begins to slow down.
less likely to say that the cost of supporting their lifestyle was higher than expected
Act three: Reflecting
As you reach your 80s and 90s, another major shift in focus often occurs: spending less money on activities like travel and hobbies, and putting more emphasis on the essentials of life. According to the Rewriting Retirement survey, 53 percent of retirees consider spending time with family a top priority. Additionally, health care expenses often become a more significant concern as retirees grow older. Annual health care expenses, on average, are nearly triple for an 85-year-old couple compared to a 65-year-old couple.1
"Planning in advance for this stage of life is critical," says Brown. "An important conversation to have is who may care for you if there is a need for specialized, long-term care." This could be a family member, though Brown suggests all parties look at this issue carefully. "It is important to have realistic solutions for care that won't place an undue burden on any family member," he adds. For couples, having a survivor plan is important. Often the survivor will have greater care needs as they age without the support of the spouse.
Planning makes a difference
How confident are you that you're truly prepared for what retirement may throw your way? The answer, based on the results of the Rewriting Retirement survey, may lie in having a comprehensive plan in place. Eighty-four percent of respondents who have a plan are confident about retirement, while the same is true for only 45 percent of those without a plan. "Those with a plan have fewer concerns and generally are less likely to be blindsided by a change in direction that can easily occur over the course of a long retirement," O'Leary says.
A solid retirement plan can help you prepare for unexpected changes in your life and give you the freedom to identify solutions to suit your lifestyle as your circumstances change in retirement.

This intermediate class teaches techniques for loose flower painting – from trillium to snapdragon to ranunculus and roses.
After learning how to paint a selection of flower styles – which can be adapted to create a variety of similar flowers – you'll learn how to combine them into a wreath painting, and also to create different types of glass vases.
Prerequisite: It is recommended that students have a basic working knowledge of watercolor; a little introduction will be provided, but the rest of class will assume students' understanding of colors, edges, and movement of watercolor. Note that if you get into class and realize you need to learn more first, you do have lifetime access so you can come back and complete class any time.
Let's get started painting flowers!


While the overall market pulled back sharply late last week, we wanted to profile a name that made a nice move Friday, hitting a new 52-week high. Today, we want to revisit The Chefs' Warehouse (CHEF). CHEF is a distributor of specialty food products in the U.S. and Canada that focuses on serving the specific needs of chefs who own and/or operate some of the nation's leading restaurants, fine dining establishments, hotels, country clubs, catering businesses, bakeries, patisseries, chocolatiers, culinary schools, cruise lines, casinos, and specialty food stores.
CHEF believes that its extensive selection of distinctive and hard-to-find specialty and center-of-the-plate food products differentiates the company from larger, more traditional broadline foodservice distributors and thus gives it a competitive edge in meeting the needs of its customer base. Marketing is directed principally at chefs and includes information about the sourcing and quality of available products. By simultaneously offering high-quality staples and specialty foods, Chefs' Warehouse can provide its customers with efficient and cost-effective foodservice distribution solutions.
The company's specialty food products include gourmet foods and ingredients that are of the highest grade, quality, or style as measured by their uniqueness, exotic origin, or particular processing method. Its product portfolio now includes over 48,000 SKUs from more than 2,500 different suppliers and is comprised primarily of specialty food products, such as artisan charcuterie, specialty cheeses, unique oils and vinegars, truffles, caviar, chocolate, and pastry products. Its extensive line of center-of-the-plate products includes custom cut beef, seafood, and hormone-free poultry, and its staple, broadline food product provisions include cooking oils, butter, eggs, milk, and flour.
CHEF has also been active on the M&A front, having completed eight acquisitions since 2013, adding complementary food products to the company's portfolio in categories from pastry products to premium quality meats on both domestic and imported scales.
Excluding its direct-to-consumer business, CHEF currently serves more than 30,000 customer locations in its 15 primary geographic markets, including New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, Portland, Seattle, Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, Sacramento, Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto. CHEF operates 23 distribution centers and provides service six days a week in many of its service areas, using a fleet of delivery trucks to fill orders.
In terms of recent events, CHEF reported strong Q2 results on August 1. Adjusted EPS jumped 71% year/year to $0.24, which was better than market expectations. Revenue rose 11.7% year/year to $370.4 mln, which also was better than expected. Organic growth contributed 4.3% of that growth while the remaining 7.4% resulted from the acquisition of Fells Point Wholesale Meats and other specialty-related acquisitions. Organic case count grew 7.5% in the company's specialty category and growth in unique customers and placements grew 5.1% and 4.6%, respectively. For the full year, CHEF expects revenue of $1.41-1.45 bln and adjusted EPS of $0.71-0.80.
CHEF has been climbing nicely higher over the past year. CHEF seems to be doing well despite what has been a difficult time for the restaurant industry. It seems that their focus on hard-to-find food items coupled with center-of-the-plate offerings is helping them navigate a tough industry. The stock has made a strong move over the past year, up around 90% from its levels at this time last year. In addition, the stock hiked up notably on Friday (+11.5%) on news that the company's shares will be added to the S&P SmallCap 600. That was a nice milestone for the company.
While the overall market pulled back sharply late last week, we wanted to profile a name that made a nice move Friday, hitting a new 52-week high.

CECOP answered to a consultation on action at the EU level to promote the active inclusion of the people furthest from the labour market (Commission Communication of 08.02.2006 COM(2006)44 final). The consultation is addressed to the social partners at European and national level.
Here is CECOP's position to this consultation.


Hotel Room Safes and Multi-User Safes are designed for multi-occupancy use in hotels, hospitals, nursing care homes and student accommodation for multi-user use so that any new user can program their personal code when opening or closing the safe.
All hotel room safes have the unique facility of having a master code in order for designated personnel to open the safe in an emergency or when the user/guest has left the safe locked after leaving the hotel.
Choose from our Electronic Hotel safes, Audit trail Hotel safes and Laptop size Hotel safes to secure Passports, Mobile phones, Laptops, Jewellery and other valuables.securely.
What is the difference between a Hotel Safe and a home security safe?
The only difference is the design and operation pf the lock. A hotel room safe is designed for multi-user use so it is ideal where the user of the safe is constantly changing - in a hotel of course, students accommodation and hospitals as well. A Hotel Room Safe lock allows each user to set their own code when first using the safe - they find the safe door open on arrival, enter any preferred code, close the door and the safe can then only be opened by that same code. The next guest will then enter their own code to close the safe and so on. A Home security safe, on the other hand, does not need a code to close the safe - just the pre-programmed code to open it.
In-Room Hotel Safes: Use Them or Lose Them?
The age-old debate over whether the safe in your hotel is actually good at keeping your belongings secure continues. In truth, it's something which you can never answer.

2020 Alumnus of the Year – Mr. Dan McGettigan '62
Dan McGettigan graduated from St. Bonaventure's College in 1962 and has spent his whole adult life devoted to the service of others.
While at St. Bon's, Dan excelled in all aspects of school life. His record of holistic achievement afforded him acceptance by the Archdiocese as a candidate for seminary entrance. After graduating from St. Bon's, Dan entered St. Joseph's Seminary in Edmonton, Alberta and was ordained into the Priesthood in 1970. He spent the next 13 years serving tirelessly in various parishes throughout Newfoundland. In 1983, Dan left the priesthood and took on a new mission as a Parole Officer with Corrections Canada.
While working as a Parole Officer, Dan saw a need for restorative justice support for offenders making the transition from prison back into society. In 1992, Dan created the non-profit agency Turnings to help provide this support, and currently their Director. Turnings current success is driven by Dan and the help he receives from the government, volunteers and community. One of their most revolutionary programs is Circle of Support which is a group of trained community volunteers who mentor sex offenders in their re-integration into society to help them to avoid reoffending. This program has proven highly effective in reducing the recidivism of its participants and shows compassion for a group of people who are often overlooked and forgotten. Dan visits inmates in New Brunswick and St. John's prior to their parole and provides personal counselling and Circles of Support as they journey into their new life.
Dan is a wealth of information, knowledge, experience and most importantly, compassion in the corrections community. He is a social justice warrior on the front lines; he is embedded in Her Majesty's Penitentiary supporting prisoners, working to find solutions to difficult problems, and helping inmates reintegrate into the community upon release. Dan is trusted by all parties involved in the corrections system – guards, management and inmates. He works thanklessly and endlessly educating politicians who come and go on the principles of restorative justice and bringing the plight of the prisoner to the forefront of discussion and policy making.
Dan follows the values of his Catholic faith that he learned from his family and St. Bon's. His life has been committed to supporting and assisting others. For our students, and the wider community, he illustrates what it truly means to be "a man for and with others".
2019 Alumnus of the Year – Fr. Bill Browne '45
Fr. William Browne, S.J. '45 has dedicated all of his 91 years to serving others and wears his pride for his alma mater on his sleeve. You will often find Fr. Bill in the halls of St. Bon's, as much of his free time is dedicated to the school as he says morning mass in Our Lady's Oratory, as well as sits on both the St. Bonaventure's College Board of Governors and the St. Bon's Alumni Committee.
Fr. Bill attended St. Bon's from Grade One to Grade Nine, at which time he moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was in Halifax that he met the Jesuits and discovered his passion for teaching combined with entering the priesthood. Fr. Bill is an accomplished scholar, with his intensive studies of Philosophy, Theology, Latin, Greek, English and Music taking him all over the globe – from Canada, to the United States, to Rome, Italy. It was in Rome that Fr. Bill earned his Doctorate in Theology, with an emphasis on Liturgy. During this time, he was ordained in 1958 in Toronto.
During his scholarly years, Fr. Bill honed his skills as an educator of high school and college students. Of particular note are his six years spent teaching at Loyola College in Montreal. Fr. Bill was instrumental in building the music programs during this time, where he used his talents as an accomplished singer, organist, pianist, and composer. He then served several more years at Loyola College campus serving at St. Ignatius Parish.
Fr. Bill found his way back to St. John's in 1982, when placed as St. Pius X Parish. Many parishioners have commented on how Fr. Bill helped the music ministry flourish a St. Pius X. Fr. Bill is an enthusiastic member of the choir to this day.
When he returned to St. John's, Fr. Bill was extensively involved in the development and establishment of the MacMorran Community Centre, which serves the social and economic needs of the Brophy Place area in St. John's. Fr. Bill's natural inclination to reach out to those in need allowed him to not only notice a community which was lacking a safe place for its members, but to do something about it. The MacMorran Centre, as we know it today, is thriving, providing tutoring, play groups, adult social groups, music lessons and more to members of its community.
Fr. Bill's passion for helping others continued as he spent over 25 years serving as Chaplain at the Health Sciences Centre. During his retirement, Fr. Bill began to spend more time on two of his passions – gardening and singing. Fr. Bill sings in various choirs to this day, with St. Bon's school song "On the Hill" being one of his favourite to perform!

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that exposure to the sun is killing 60,000 people per year. Although the report mentions a beneficial effect of Ultra Violet Radiation (UVR), primarily the production of Vitamin D in the body, there are hazards from too much sun.
Living closer to the equator and living at high altitudes can make you more prone to UVR exposure. Water and snow can also reflect the radiation, according to the report.
Laser technology may be used in the treatment of severe acne, atherosclerotic plaque, and cellulite. Researchers from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) will present their results at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) 26th Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
According to the report, if the hair loss is untreated it will likely get worse. The current treatments include minoxidil, a medication typically applied to the scalp to encourage hair regrowth. Minoxidil is effective, but not always well accepted by patients.

November '21 crash leads to Mexican driver being shut down
Drug and license violations led federal regulators to ban a Mexican truck driver from operating in the U.S.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration effectively shut down Mexican-licensed commercial driver (Licencia Federal de Conductor (LF)) J. Rafael Arizaga-Tapia, aka Nibardo Andrade-Mendoza, barring him from operating any commercial motor vehicle in interstate commerce in the United States.
According to FMCSA, on June 24, 2021, Arizaga-Tapia was notified he tested positive for controlled substances. As a result of the positive test, he was prohibited from performing any safety-sensitive function, including operating a CMV. At the time of the positive test, he had a valid LF and a valid Washington state driver's license.
FMCSA's review of Arizaga-Tapia's driver history for his LF and Washington driver's license revealed prior offenses for speeding, driving under the influence and refused tests. His Washington driver's license also has an ignition interlock device restriction.
After the positive test, Arizaga-Tapia obtained an LF under the name Nibardo Andrade-Mendoza. It is a violation of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a CMV driver to have more than one driver's license.
On or about Nov. 12, 2021, Arizaga-Tapia, using the name and LF of Nibardo Andrade-Mendoza, was operating a CMV on State Road 97 near Orondo, Washington. The vehicle he was operating failed to negotiate a curve, left the road, crashed through the guardrail and fell into a ravine.
Arizaga-Tapia was in possession of opened and unopened beer cans, FMCSA said, and subsequent blood tests showed a measurable alcohol concentration in his system. At the time of the crash, Arizaga-Tapia's LF was still listed as prohibited in FMCSA's Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.

Artist Marie Watt (center) with Crow's Shadow Master Printers Frank Janzen and Judith Baumann in October 2017.
Through grants from several charitable foundations, Crow's Shadow is typically able to fund three to six Artists-in-Residence each year. Artists participating in these residencies usually spend two weeks in the studio developing limited-edition prints, which are then hand-pulled by Crow's Shadow's Tamarind-trained Master Printer, Judith Baumann. Most of the artists who are invited to the studio are not printmakers–they typically specialize in other areas of visual art and the Master Printer's technical expertise allows them to realize a project in a media that they would not otherwise be able to accomplish. The final prints enter the Crow's Shadow permanent collection, housed both in our studio and at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem, Oregon. Prints published by Crow's Shadow Press have traveled extensively to galleries and cultural institutions around the region and nationally.
Residencies are invitational only and artists are selected by a committee of art professionals. Artists-in-Residence (AiRs) are nominated for a residency based on the quality of their work and their potential to reflect the mission of Crow's Shadow.

Q: Why are my emails rendered with handlebars templates not received from production environment? I work on a web app which sends emails upon different events (account creation, account deletion, account suspension...). This web app runs on Angular for the frontend and with NestJS for the backend. I use handlebars for email templating.
The problem is that a few emails are never received when they are sent (and I have the confirmation that they are) from the production environment. Whereas on my local environment all emails are received.
Plus, there is no error logs sent by the mailer service.
Does someone have an idea of what is happening?

A: SOLUTION :
The mails did not send because of the presence of a "/1" in the end of an URL in a .
For example this URL : "/mysite.org/chat/1" has been replaced by "/mysite.org/chat/admin" and worked.

I pulled this recipe off the Jimmy Dean website. The stuffing in this is fabulous. The acorn squash makes a unique bowl.
Cut squash in half; remove and discard seeds. Place squash cut side down in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 10 - 12 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, crumble sausage into a large skillet; add onion. Cook over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
In a large bowl, beat egg and milk; stir in the spinach, bread crumbs, cranberries and sausage mixture.
Turn squash cut side up. Stuff with sausage mixture. Cover and microwave on high for 2 - 3 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160*F.

Tramway: Legault refuses to "give up" in front of Ottawa
By Daisy Monroon May 16, 2019 in News
The Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) and Quebec Solidaire (QS) are calling on the Legault government to stop the "sneeze" on the Quebec City streetcar file and fund it with the federal money already on the table, while the Parti Quebecois (PQ) is on the side of the Prime Minister, who refuses to "give up" in front of Ottawa.
The common front of the opposition broke down Wednesday morning in the file of the structuring transport of Quebec. The PQ withdrew at the last minute from a joint press conference with the PLQ and QS, because its leader Pascal Bérubé did not want to adopt a "surrender" position against the federal government.
"I prefer to stand together with the Quebec government to get the money for Quebec, for Montreal, for the regions," said Bérubé, who believes that "Canada must go to the fund".
Prime Minister François Legault was delighted that there was at least one party "standing with us". "I intend to continue to fight for the federal government to fund its share," he said.
For Taschereau MP Catherine Dorion, the question is not there. In a video posted on social media, she directly calls on Prime Minister François Legault. "You're rolling out the red carpet for the Ottawa Conservatives. You know that they do not trip on the tram project and that if they could put the tram money on the third link, they would be happy and you too. "
The PLQ abounds in the same direction. "Why is it so complicated in the file of the structuring transport network and so simple in the file of the third link?" Launched its leader Pierre Arcand.
Alexandre Turgeon, General Manager of the Regional Council of the Environment of the Capitale-Nationale, participated in the press conference of the PLQ and QS, before telling journalists a few minutes later that he is finally more comfortable with the idea of the PQ, that we must put pressure on Ottawa to get more money for all public transit projects in Quebec.
The stake of the structuring transport network monopolized several exchanges in room Wednesday. Treasury Board President Christian Dubé called on MPs to stand together against Ottawa and instead accuse the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ). "The division that is settling between our four parties on this issue is exactly what the federal government wants, a few months before the elections," he said.
Mayor's Texts
Mr. Dubé hopes that the Quebec parliamentarians will make the "gift" to agree to the Mayor of Quebec Régis Labeaume for his return to active politics, he who is currently on forced leave to cure cancer. "He sends text messages. He has to rest, but he's cheating a bit, "Dubé said of Mayor Labeaume. The member for Jean-Talon, Sébastien Proulx, who had the project unblocked last year when he was minister responsible for the Capitale-Nationale, extolled his merits. His colleague Gaétan Barrette believes that the CAQ, which "swims in the surplus", has all the means at its disposal to achieve it.
At the end of the day, Catherine Dorion defended herself from having given up on Ottawa, arguing that her party is also calling for greater autonomy in the management of the various funds. She doubts, however, about the CAQ's strategy at the moment. "Why did you decide to take this project hostage?"
HIDE THIS MASON JAR
Complicated the financing of the tramway in Quebec? Member of Parliament Catherine Dorion believes that the public is "involved" and chose to explain the issue using pots Mason in a video posted on social networks on Tuesday.
An idea that pleased the President of the Treasury Board Christian Dubé, who decided to use it also in a debate in Chamber Wednesday. Mr. Dubé released from under his desk a Mason jar decorated with a Canadian flag with greenbacks inside. This pot was covered with a lid bearing the logo of the Liberal Party of Quebec. "You are right, the money is there, but we are not able to open the pot. There is a lid that has been sealed by the Liberal Party, "he said. Mr. Dubé tried to argue that his government was "prisoner of the jar" to finance public transit in Quebec.
However, he had to hide his pot Mason after being warned by the Vice-President of the National Assembly, Chantal Soucy, that parliamentary rules do not allow to show such an object.

Objective. After declining for many years, cesarean delivery rates recently increased. To explore whether this increase is associated with excess weight gain during pregnancy, resulting in macrosomic infants who require cesarean delivery, we examined trends in excess weight gain, macrosomia, and cesarean delivery.
Methods. Analysis of 1990–2000 US Natality Files of birth certificate data were restricted to first birth, singleton infants of 37 to 42 weeks' gestation to avoid confounding by repeat cesarean delivery, complications of multigestational pregnancy, and preterm and postterm birth. Excess weight gain was defined according to current guidelines (41+ lb) and macrosomia as birth weight >4000 g.
Results. From 1990–2000, excess weight gain rose steadily from 18.6% to 24.2%. There was a 19.3% decline in macrosomic infants among women who gained excess weight compared with an 11.9% decline among women who gained 15–40 lb, although the absolute risk remained substantially greater among women who gained excess weight (eg, 14.2% vs 7.2%, in 2000). From 1990–1997, cesarean delivery declined by 20.2% among women who gained excess weight compared with 15.7% among women who gained 15 to 40 lb. After 1997, cesarean delivery increased in all weight gain categories, and absolute risks in 2000 were 25.8% for women who gained excess weight compared with 21.6% for women who gained 15–40 lb. Overall, women who gained excess weight accounted for 24.1% of cesarean deliveries in 1990 and 28.1% in 2000.
Conclusions. Excess weight gain and macrosomia do not seem to be the primary factors that contribute to the recent increase in cesarean delivery because cesarean delivery rates have increased in all weight gain categories and macrosomia rates have decreased steadily from 1990–2000. Nonetheless, women who gain excess weight account for a growing proportion of cesarean deliveries because their relative numbers have grown.
To shed new light on this issue, we examined trends in pregnancy weight gain, macrosomia, and cesarean delivery; the relationships between these 3 factors; and how these relationships have changed over the past decade. We then assessed whether increases in excess weight gain could account for the recent increases in cesarean delivery.
The data source for these analyses was the 1990–2000 US Natality Files, which are compiled annually from all US birth certificates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics.7 The analyses were restricted to first birth, singleton infants delivered at 37 to 42 weeks' gestation, which account for 33.8% of all registered births from 1990–2000. Multiparous women were excluded partially because of inaccuracies in the repeat cesarean delivery data8 but more importantly because the decision of whether to deliver via cesarean delivery is heavily influenced by previous delivery experiences.9 Similarly, the analyses were restricted to singletons delivered between 37 and 42 weeks' gestation because fetal distress and other indications, rather than management of an obstructed delivery, are likely to be the major determinants of cesarean delivery among preterm infants, postterm infants, and multigestational infants.
In response to the 1989 revision of the US Standard Certificate of Live Birth, all states except California modified their birth certificates to include maternal weight gain during pregnancy.10 Because California does not report weight gain, births that occurred in California were excluded (13.3% of all primiparous, term, singleton births in the United States from 1990–2000). An additional 9.6% of records were excluded because of missing data on either weight gain (8.9%) or method of delivery (0.7%). From 1990–2000, data completeness improved substantially. In 1990, 13.9% of birth certificates were excluded because of missing data. During the next few years, the missing data gradually declined; from 1997–2000, the proportion of records that were excluded because of missing data fluctuated between 7.8% and 7.3%. Annual cesarean delivery rates differed by ≤2% between women with and without pregnancy weight gain data.
After restricting the analyses to primiparous, full-term singletons and excluding records with missing data, the final data set consisted of 11 617 919 births, with the number for each year varying from 1 025 189 in 1992 to 1 100 247 in 2000. Confidence intervals and statistical testing are not presented; because of the large number of observations, confidence intervals were too narrow to be meaningful and statistical testing was uniformly significant.
For examining trends, macrosomia rates, cesarean delivery rates, and rates of weight gain within each category were calculated for each year. Proportional changes from 1990–2000 were calculated using predicted values from linear regression models of the annual rates of each factor: weight gain, macrosomia, and cesarean delivery. Because cesarean delivery declined and then rose during this period, linear spline regression models with a single knot at 1997 were used to calculate proportional changes in cesarean delivery from 1990–1997 and from 1997–2000.14 For examining the relationships between these factors, annual rates of macrosomia and cesarean delivery were examined within each weight gain category.
To examine the contribution of excess weight gain to the recent increase in cesarean delivery, we first looked at whether the increasing cesarean delivery rates were specific to any particular weight gain category. We then calculated the proportions of cesarean deliveries that were performed on women who gained <15 lb, 15 to 40 lb, and 41+ lb for each year, 1990–2000. These proportions were then adjusted for age and race using direct standardization to the 1990 age and race distributions of the study population.
From 1990–2000, the proportion of women who gained weight outside the IOM-recommended range of 15 to 40 lb increased by 28.5%: from 24.1% in 1990 to 30.5% in 2000. This increase is largely driven by a 23.9% rise in the number of women who gained more than the maximum recommended weight of 40 lb: from 19.8% in 1990 to 24.7% in 2000 (Fig 1). Among women who gained 41+ lb, the median weight gain rose from 48 to 50 lb, and the proportion who gained >45 lb rose from 61.8% in 1990 to 65.9% in 2000.
Trends in weight gain during pregnancy, 1990–2000. Symbols represent observed values. Trend lines were estimated by linear regression models.
Macrosomia was strongly associated with excess weight gain during pregnancy; macrosomia rates among women who gained >40 lb were substantially higher than rates among women who gained 15 to 40 lb (see Fig 2). From 1990–2000, the overall frequency of macrosomic infants fell steadily from 9.9% to 8.8%. This decline was more substantial among women who gained excess weight (19.3%) compared with women who gained within the recommended range of 15 to 40 lb (11.9%).
Trends in macrosomia and cesarean delivery by pregnancy weight gain categories, 1990–2000. Symbols represent observed values. Trend lines for macrosomia were estimated by linear regression models. Trend lines for cesarean delivery were estimated by linear spline regression models with a single knot at 1997.
Cesarean delivery rates were lowest for women who gained within the recommended range of 15 to 40 lb and elevated for both women who gained <15 lb and for women who gained 41+ lb (Fig 2). From 1990–2000, the cesarean delivery rate first declined and then rose. In 1990, the cesarean delivery rate was 24.2%. It fell slightly each year, until 1997 (20.9%), and then rose to 22.8% in 2000. From 1990–1997, cesarean delivery fell in all weight gain categories; however, the decrease was more pronounced among women who gained excess weight: −20.2% among women who gained >40 lb versus −15.7% among women who gained 15 to 40 lb. The recent upturn in cesarean delivery rates has occurred within all 3 weight gain categories: 9.5% among women who gained >40 lb, 11.2% among women who gained 15 to 40 lb, and 7.4% among women who gained < 15 lb.
As expected, infant birth weight was strongly associated with cesarean delivery such that cesarean delivery rates are lowest for normal infant birth weights and increased for both low and high infant birth weights: overall data for 1990–2000 indicate that 18.3% of infants who weighed between 2500 and 3499 g were delivered by cesarean delivery compared with 25.7% of infants <2500 g, 24.5% of infants 3500 to 3999 g, and 38.6% of infants who weighed 4000 g or more. Between 1990 and 1997, the cesarean delivery rate decreased within all birth weight categories: 11.6% for birth weights <2500 g, 15.7% for 2500 to 3499 g, 15.1% for 3500 to 3999 g, and 12.1% for 4000 g or more. From 1997–2000, cesarean delivery increased in all birth weight categories: 10.9%, 12.2%, 10.4%, and 8.0% for birth weights <2500 g, 2500 to 3499 g, 3500 to 3999 g, 4000 g or more, respectively.
The percentage of cesarean deliveries contributed by women who gained excess weight increased from 24.1% in 1990 to 28.1% in 2000 (Fig 3). In contrast, the percentage of cesarean deliveries contributed by women who gained excess weight and also delivered macrosomic infants changed little (−1.3%; Fig 3). Direct adjustment to 1990 age and race distributions increased each point estimate slightly (data not shown), indicating that changes in age and race distributions between 1990 and 2000 do not explain the increasing contribution of excess weight gain to the cesarean delivery rate. The percentage of cesarean deliveries contributed by women who gained weight below the recommended range also rose from 4.2% in 1990 to 6.1% in 2000, whereas the percentage contributed by women who gained weight within the recommended range of 15 to 40 lb decreased from 71.6% in 1990 to 65.9% in 2000.
Excess weight gain during pregnancy among women with cesarean delivery, 1990–2000. Symbols represent observed values. Trend lines were estimated by linear regression models.
This is the first analysis of national data to examine changes in pregnancy weight gain, macrosomia, and cesarean delivery and their relationships to one another. The results indicate that an increasing number of pregnant women are gaining weight in excess of the range recommended by the IOM. The results also indicate that despite dramatic declines in both macrosomia and cesarean delivery among women who gained excess weight, their rates remain high relative to those among women who gained weight within the recommended range of 15 to 40 lb. Overall, women who gain excess weight contribute an increasing proportion to the cesarean delivery rate because their relative numbers have grown and their cesarean delivery rate remains high. This increasing contribution by women who gain excess weight gain does not seem to be operating through macrosomia because 1) macrosomia declined among women who gained excess weight (Fig 2), and 2) the contribution of women who gained excess weight and also delivered macrosomic infants did not increase (Fig 3). In sum, increases in excess weight gain during pregnancy account for some of the recent increase in cesarean delivery; however, that cesarean delivery has increased in all weight gain categories indicates that other factors also contribute.
The most important limitation of these analyses is that because the US Natality Files lack prepregnancy BMI data, we cannot classify women into the IOM weight gain categories. It is likely that many women who gained between 15 and 40 lb gained excess weight based on their prepregnancy BMI. Thus, the proportion of women who gained 41+ lb, can be interpreted as a conservative estimate of the proportion of women who gained excess weight, and the proportion of cesarean deliveries that occurred to women who gained 41+ lb can be interpreted as a conservative estimate of the contribution of excess weight gain to the cesarean delivery rate.
Other limitations also result from data that either are not collected or are not accurately reported in the US Natality Files. For instance, to avoid potential problems with the reporting of methods of delivery with a historical component (eg, repeat cesarean delivery), we limited our analyses to first births.8 Another limitation is that detailed clinical data describing maternal diet and the pattern and components (eg, fat, fluid, fetus) of weight gain during pregnancy are not collected on birth certificates. Without these data, which have been shown to effect outcomes,24,26,27 we cannot examine the mechanisms that link excess weight gain to cesarean delivery and determine to what extent this association is modifiable through changes in maternal diet. Finally, numerous pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, are likely to influence to the relationship between excess weight gain and cesarean delivery. Although the US Natality Files include numerous pregnancy complications, underreporting of these data has been well-documented.28–30 Expanding these analyses to include pregnancy complications as reported in the US Natality Files would not allow for adequate examination of their effects and may introduce substantial bias.

Two-Way Street
Community Organizer and San Diego Trauma-Informed Guide Team Learn from One Another
Barry Pollard told the San Diego Trauma-Informed Guide Team (SD-TIGT) how a small group of exasperated residents had rattled the corporate gates and won.
During the "trauma-informed journey" portion of January's SD-TIGT meeting—a regular feature in which a member or guest shares challenges, triumphs and lessons learned in the course of implementing trauma-informed practices—Pollard, founder of San Diego's three-year-old Urban Collaborative Project (UCP), told how residents in Southeast San Diego were disgusted by the condition of a local Food4Less store: wilting produce, dirty aisles, poor security.
At first, he said, community members felt hopeless. "It took me 45 minutes to convince them that they could actually do something." A letter-writing campaign to the CEO of Kroger led to conversations with the company's executive team and resulted in a million-dollar makeover of the store.
As Rosa Ana Lozada, CEO of Harmonium, Inc. (MARC project backbone organization), listened to Pollard's presentation, she thought about resilience, perceptions and change. "I was impressed by the multiple strategies [Pollard] was putting in place in an area of San Diego that has limited opportunities," says Lozada, "Some of the projects he's working on are helping to build opportunities and change perceptions about that area. Hearing his journey reminds all of us of what we each can do."
Pollard's relationship with SD-TIGT has been a two-way conduit. He'd long been aware of the deep-rooted troubles in southeast San Diego; he could see it in the "mad muggin'"—the grim faces of teenagers lingering outside a neighborhood Starbucks. He could hear it in the steady wail of sirens, the whirr of police helicopters. Some called residents' malaise the "hood disease."
As UCP worked with town councils, neighborhood groups and other stakeholders on issues including K-12 school support, health food access, community infrastructure, resident leadership training and advocacy, Pollard could feel both the residents' discontent and a real hunger for change. It was a UCP board member who first sent him articles about the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study and trauma-informed care.
"When I first heard of ACEs and the whole trauma-informed model, I was ecstatic," Pollard says. "I knew that the 'war on drugs' and the 'war on crime' were not solving the problem. I was relieved: maybe we'd stumbled onto something that could make all those efforts and dollars start moving the needle."
At SD-TIGT meetings, Pollard learned more about trauma, resilience and the ways San Diego organizations were transforming their approach to community problems. He carried that thinking back to his work with UCP. In talking with stakeholders about an intersection notorious for drug activity, dubbed "The Four Corners of Death," he urged them to be curious instead of punitive.
"In the past, the solution has been drug enforcement or suppression. We're starting to look at: Can we provide support services? We're asking, 'What's going on with your family? Do you need a place to stay? Job training? Medical insurance?' I see the paradigm shift."
When I first heard of ACEs and the whole trauma-informed model, I was ecstatic. I knew that the 'war on drugs' and the 'war on crime' were not solving the problem. I was relieved: maybe we'd stumbled onto something that could make all those efforts and dollars start moving the needle.
In turn, Pollard shared stories with SD-TIGT members, describing community-led efforts to boost safety, civic engagement, health and neighborhood vitality. He told how a lack of public art in the neighborhood prompted him to call on local artists, resulting not only in colorful murals along "The Imperial Avenue Mile of Art" but a new policy—crafted by residents and now awaiting the mayor's signature—that would streamline the process for initiating and completing community improvement projects.
Pollard, who is African-American, has encouraged SD-TIGT to reach for broader representation from people of color and members of the LGBTQ community. He urged members to engage at the grass-roots level—"to get [trauma-informed work] deeper into neighborhoods, rather than just on an organizational level."
That was already a goal of the Guide Team's strategic plan, Lozada says, and Pollard's work provided tangible examples of how that can happen. "One of the things Barry has been able to do is connect activities to resilience and self-sufficiency…shifting from a hopeless to a more hopeful place. Though he's not a clinician, his interventions are therapeutic. This is a great illustration of how healing happens in many ways."

Donald Trump is adamant about having more strict immigration policies, yet, he's hired several undocumented workers.
Trump's National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey is the workplace of two undocumented immigrants. One of those two women is Victorina Morales, a native of Guatemala who told the New York Times she entered the United States illegally in 1999. In 2013, Morales was hired at the club as a housekeeper using fake documentation. The second woman, Sandra Diaz, is now a legal citizen but originally entered the States illegally from Costa Rica. Diaz worked for the club between 2010 and 2013.
"We have tens of thousands of employees across our properties and have very strict hiring practices," Amanda Miller, a spokeswoman for the Trump Organization, said in a statement provided to CNN. "If any employee submitted false documentation in an attempt to circumvent the law, they will be terminated immediately." While the club claims to have never known about the status of the workers, Diaz says the establishment did know about her lack of documentation. She also mentioned that their supervisor would abuse them and threaten to have them deported, CNN reports.
Morales told New York Times she is aware that she could be fired for speaking out about her story.


Our scientists use a combination of externally licensed and internally developed computational and modeling tools to achieve their goals. Internal development at BioPredict focuses on problems for which commercial software is unavailable, inadequate, or inappropriate in scale for modern high-throughput drug discovery. A key focus at BioPredict is the development of methods that allow the full spectrum of available information to be brought to bear on a problem. Utilizing multiple structures on related targets within a protein family is the motivation behind Comparing Active Sites within Protein Families. Merging structural information with medicinal-chemical information is the motivation behind Hypothesis-Driven Docking and Enhancing Results of Virtual Screens Using Data Mining Techniques (links below). Using all information from a high-throughput screen - both positive and negative - is a motivation behind QSAR Analysis and High Throughput Screening Interpretation. Imprecise and/or incomplete data is a hallmark of typical problems encountered in drug discovery. To be meaningful models should embrace these aspects of their input and phrase their output appropriately - i.e. statistically. This is the motivation behind our current development of statistical ensemble-based approaches to docking, ab initio design, pharmacophore derivation and search, and 3D peptide-library profiling that uses the mathematical framework of Markov Random Fields. The methods embrace uncertainty in input, by for example enabling simultaneous statistical docking against ensembles of protein conformations. The methods frame their output statistically, by providing ensembles of solutions enriched for the likelihood of activity. The incremental cost of success when testing a small ensemble of compounds far outweighs the potential cost of failure when testing a single compound.

The Reality of the War on Drugs is a War on the People
April 23, 2016 coordinator4
HONDURAN SOLIDARITY NETWORK
STATEMENT ON THE U.S. WAR ON DRUGS AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN HONDURAS
As the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on Drugs prepares to meet in New York City, the members of the Honduran Solidarity Network (HSN) join their voices with those of the Caravan for Peace, Life and Justice in denouncing the U.S. War on Drugs and the unjust and violent policies implemented by the U.S. Government and its contractors in pursuit of the flawed objectives of this ill-conceived project in Honduras, Mexico and all of Latin America and the Caribbean. In particular as we near another anniversary of the tragedy, we highlight the seemingly forgotten case of the slaughter of two pregnant women and two boys in the rural town of Ahuás, Honduras during a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) operation on May 11, 2012. These murders remain in impunity; no one has been held accountable for the crime and no serious investigation has been conducted by the DEA, or any other US government entity. Our members have interviewed the victims of Ahuás as well as other victims of violence that is justified as being part of the War on Drugs in Honduras.
We call for an end to impunity and an end to this War that continues to bring such tragedies and suffering.
Set in motion by President Richard Nixon in the late sixties, the War on Drugs was confirmed by former top Nixon advisor John D. Ehrlichman in a 1994 interview as having been a framing tactic used to target African Americans and anti-war protesters. From this odious political genesis this "war" became the mechanism for the mass incarceration of Blacks and Latinos in the U.S., tearing apart communities and families for generations.
Washington inserted the War on Drugs into the foreign policy realm with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the need for a new external threat to justify bloated military budgets and U.S. military presence around the globe. Helicopter sales to Colombia, toxic illicit crop spraying projects and increased military aid in the name of disrupting the flow of cocaine and marijuana to the U.S., the War on Drugs made a slew of Pentagon and State Department contractors very wealthy while violence ravaged the affected countries. Ironically, the effect of the War on Drugs on its stated objective – the eradication of the drug trade – was only to act as a catalyst for drug trafficking, making illicit profits greater and exacerbating the impunity, increased militarization, and human rights violations that now have come to characterize Honduras, the most violent country in the world.
In Honduras, the 2009 coup and its continuation increased the power of a corrupt oligarchy with ties to narcotics cartels while allowing the War on Drugs to be used to promote violence and human rights violations including forced disappearances and assassinations. The militarization of nations like Honduras has fostered an environment of impunity in which police, special forces, the military, and private security contractors, not to mention U.S. military, U.S. Government agents and U.S. contractors, are heavily armed and feel answerable to no one. Given this situation it should not be a surprise to anyone to see thousands of Hondurans fleeing their country in another of the forced migrations that wars produce.
We stand with the brutalized but resistant peoples of Honduras, Mexico and the other victims of the War on Drugs who are taking a stand against crimes like the slaughter in Ahuás and the 2014 disappearing of the 43 students in Iguala, Mexico. The U.S. must stop providing support to governments that do not respect the rule of law, allow crimes to occur with impunity and are themselves implicated in many of the crimes committed in the name of national security and the War on Drugs. Impunity for crimes directly involving U.S. forces must also end. We call on our elected officials to insist that officials in the State Department and the Department of Justice sweep aside delaying tactics and obfuscation, so that there can be a genuine and rigorous investigation of these cases and the many other that further stain the reputation of our nation and cause such pain and suffering both at home and abroad.

Steelers Learning About Matt Canada's 'Preference For Players' As He Learns Coordinator's Perspective
The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely mark a major transitional phase within their offense in the near future whenever they part ways with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, whether that is of his own accord or otherwise. This season, however, also marks a more minor transition in the promotion of Matt Canada to offensive coordinator, arguably their most radical move on offense in some time.
Canada served as quarterbacks coach last year. But all of his experience prior to that point came in the college ranks. He earned a certain reputation for his offensive mind through a number of stops along the way. Enough so that he earned consultation jobs from NFL teams. Now, he's an integral part of the Steelers' draft process for the first time.
"We had an understanding of what he likes to see in a quarterback, and he got an understanding of what the NFL is like," general manager Kevin Colbert said of Canada's first season with the team a year ago. "So moving into the coordinator position, we're still doing that same type of thing.
"We're learning about what Matt's preferences are for players, and he's also learning about the process on our end as to how to go about it and looking at it from a coordinator's perspective," he added. "It's always an ongoing evaluation process, albeit in different roles for Matt this year than in previous years, but we're always growing and learning from each other on a daily basis."
The Steelers have had precisely three offensive coordinators under head coach Mike Tomlin since 2007. It started with Bruce Arians, who they promoted from quarterbacks coach at that time. Randy Fichtner was hired to the staff at that time as well as wide receivers coach, ultimately transitioning to quarterbacks coach.
Arians lasted four years as coordinator before the team decided it was time to move on to protect Roethlisberger from himself. Pittsburgh brought in Todd Haley from the outside in 2012. He served the valuable function of reshaping the quarterback's game and helping to better protect himself.
Haley lasted six years, but Pittsburgh did not renew his contract. Fichtner took over in 2018. While he had a successful first season, the past two years have been, largely, anything but. He continued his role as quarterbacks coach through the first two years, but they hired Canada last year.
They did so in a manner that really felt like it was just a stepping stone. Almost immediately, players began talking about Canada's impact. The coaches acknowledged that his role would be something a bit more, that he would be installing and expanding concepts such as pre-snap motion.
Now he will be running the show and will be able to fully implement his ideas. And this will be his first crack at really selecting his own personnel. They did draft one of his players last year in Anthony McFarland, who played under him at Maryland in 2018. Expect him to get a new running back and perhaps an offensive lineman or two by the end of Day 2.
