FirstHealth Moore Regional named one of nation's best hospitals
David J. Kilarski
PINEHURST – FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital was named one of the nation's 100 top hospitals in a recent industry study conducted by Truven Health Analytics, a national health care information company. Hospitals do not apply to be considered a Top 100 Hospital, nor do hospitals have to pay to promote this award.
For two decades, Truven's study has evaluated hospitals on measures of overall organizational performance, including patient care, operational efficiency, financial stability and patient perception of care. The Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals is the most comprehensive and academically driven study of its kind. It evaluates performance in 11 areas, addressing inpatient mortality; 30-day mortality rate; complications; core measures; 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rate; severity-adjusted average length of stay; mean emergency room throughput; inpatient expense per discharge; Medicare spend per beneficiary; adjusted operating profit margin; and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) score (patient rating of overall hospital performance).
Moore Regional Hospital, listed under the category of large community hospitals, is the only community hospital in North Carolina recognized by Truven. One other North Carolina hospital, Carolinas Medical Center – Mercy, is listed under the teaching institution category.
The 385-bed flagship hospital of FirstHealth of the Carolinas, Moore Regional received a similar designation in 1995, 2004 and 2005. Moore Regional was also recognized as a Top 50 Hospital for cardiovascular care by Truven just last month.
"I am extremely proud of the staff at Moore Regional Hospital," said David J. Kilarski, CEO of FirstHealth of the Carolinas. "The board, management, employees and medical staff have worked very hard to adjust and change in a new era of health care delivery. They all should be commended for this honor. It is quite an achievement. Everyone associated with our hospital system has proven that transformation and innovation are part of their daily routine. And, most importantly, our patients and their families benefit from their dedication and perseverance."
Based on the results of this year's study, if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those treated in the award-winning facilities, such as Moore Regional Hospital:
● Nearly 104,000 additional lives could be saved
● Nearly 48,400 additional patients could be complication-free
● More than $2 billion in inpatient costs could be saved
● The typical patient could be released from the hospital one-half day sooner and would have 2 percent fewer expenses related to the complete episode of care than the median patient in the U.S.
● Nearly 245,000 fewer discharged patients would be readmitted within 30 days
● Patients would spend 10 minutes less in hospital emergency departments per visit
Key performance benchmarks for 100 Top Hospitals award winners when compared with their peers include:
● Better Survival Rates: As a group, 100 Top Hospitals had 23 percent fewer deaths than expected considering patient severity.
● Fewer Patient Complications: Patients at winning hospitals had 21 percent fewer complications than expected considering patient severity.
● Lower 30-Day Mortality and Readmission Rates: Mean 30 day mortality and readmission rates were lower at winning hospitals than non-winning hospitals across all comparison groups.
● Shorter Length of Stay: Winning hospitals had a median severity-adjusted length of stay that was a half-day shorter than peers.
● Higher Profit Overall Margins: Winning hospitals had a median operating profit margin that was nearly nine percentage points higher than non-winning hospitals.
"This honor proves what we have known for quite a while," said Kilarski, "that there is no need for patients in our region to look beyond Moore County for the highest quality health care in North Carolina."

Mandibular Distraction for Facial Asymmetry Surgery
by smbalaji | Dec 12, 2019 | Surgery
Patient with facial asymmetry
The patient is a 30-year-old male from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, India. Growth of his facial bones was normal until he became a teenager. It was around that time that the right side of his lower face began to develop an asymmetry. This slowly but gradually worsened to the point where he now has gross asymmetry of his face.
Eating most foods had also become very difficult because of an increasing left posterior open bite. He also soon developed pain in his right temporomandibular joint. These two issues have been present for over 10 years now. He had also faced significant bullying during his school and college days. This has made him an introvert.
Initial surgery for correction of asymmetry in a nearby state
Desiring to get this treated, he had approached a maxillofacial surgeon in a neighboring state for consultation. A detailed examination had been performed and he had been advised surgery. He had subsequently undergone reduction of the mandibular angle and shortening of the ramus on the right side. A piece of the ramus had been removed and the ends brought together with titanium plates and screws.
The patient however was greatly disappointed by the results of the surgery. He was left with an unsightly scar on the right side of his face due to the extraoral approach adopted by the surgeon. The patient also realized that his chewing problem and pain remained the same. There was also an increase in the muscle mass on the right side of the face. There was also an increase in his facial asymmetry.
He had approached another oral and maxillofacial surgeon who had advised bone grafting from the iliac crest(hip bone graft). The patient's mandibular deficiency caused by the first surgery was addressed through the use of this graft, but this led to compromised facial esthetics for the patient.
Referral to our hospital for treatment of his facial deformity
Feeling despondent by the turn of events, he had approached a local surgeon in his hometown. Upon examining the patient and realizing the magnitude of damage caused by the first two surgeries, the surgeon had immediately referred the patient to our hospital. Our hospital is renowned for facial asymmetry correction in India. Facial asymmetry surgery is routinely performed utilizing distraction osteogenesis surgery.
Initial presentation for treatment at our hospital
Dr SM Balaji, facial asymmetry surgeon, examined the patient and obtained a detailed oral history. He also ordered for comprehensive imaging studies including a 3D CT scan. It was clear that this was a case of idiopathic hyperplastic right mandibular ramus.
Clinical examination revealed an open bite on the left side and increased muscle mass on the right side of the face; however, OPG revealed that the right mandible was short by 10 mm. The 3D CT scan also revealed defective mandibular ramus length on the right side as well. Iatrogenic damage from the previous surgeries was also clearly visualized in the imaging studies.
Treatment planning explained in detail to the patient
Dr SM Balaji explained that correction of his asymmetry required right mandibular ramus distraction osteogenesis. A distraction of about 10 mm was planned for the patient. Subsequent rib grafting was planned for correction of the iatrogenically induced mandibular angle defect.
Distraction devices can be classified into external devices and internal devices. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery predominantly uses internal devices. Orthopedic surgery however mainly relies on external devices. Completion of the distraction process is always followed by the consolidation phase. This is for the bone at the surgical site to be strengthened.
Successful placement of the Univector mandibular distractor
Under general anesthesia, an incision was first placed in the right mandibular posterior region. This was followed by elevation of a flap. Horizontal bone cuts were then made and the Univector mandibular ramus distractor was fixed using titanium screws. Distractor function was checked and was found to be optimal.
Following the placement of the distractor, a sulcular incision was placed in the maxilla. Le Fort 1 bone cuts were made and the maxilla was mobilized. The posterior end of the left maxilla was fixed using transosseous wires. This would enable correction of the occlusal cant. Hemostasis was achieved and closure was done using resorbable sutures.
Postsurgical distraction performed for asymmetry correction
Interarch wiring was done. A latency period of about 6-7 days was allowed for settling down of the surgical site. Following the latency period, the distractor was activated by 1 mm each day. After achieving a satisfactory increase in length of 10 mm, the distraction was stopped. Two weeks following completion of distraction, a straight plate was fixed to the left posterior maxilla to prevent further downward movement.
Total patient satisfaction with the results of the surgery
The patient was extremely satisfied with the results of the surgery. His facial asymmetry had been corrected and his entire face was in harmony. The patient's parents were also very happy with the results and said that the patient had become noticeably happier following surgery.
They were instructed to return after a few months for removal of the distractor after bony consolidation had been demonstrated at the surgical site. The patient and his parents expressed understanding of the same.


St Albans Athletics Club's Lily Tse, Mia Pullen and Antonia Jubb celebrate their first South of England team title at the SEAA Road Relay Championship.
A trio from a combined St Albans Athletics Club and St Albans Striders team have won their first South of England team title.
St Albans Athletics Club celebrate their first South of England team title at the SEAA Road Relay Championship.
Lily Tse, Mia Pullen and Antonia Jubb were racing in the U13 age group at the SEAA Road Relay Championship.
The clubs have been aspiring to this ultimate prize since its inception over 12 years ago.
Hopes were high going into the championships with a good strength in depth throughout both the U13 boys and girls team but the coaches did their best to make sure none of the youngsters were daunted by the prospect of top opposition.
After a strong first leg by Tse, Pullen raced her way into a clear first position giving Jubb a comfortable lead into the final leg.
The last 300 metres around the Crystal Palace track and seeing a St Albans vest first across the line with ecstatic team mates was described as a "wonderful achievement".
The run slightly overshadowed the equally impressive performance by the U13 boys.
They had an extra leg to overcome but the club still fielded two strong teams.
And Tom Gaunce, Alexander McDonald, Alex Fine and Zach Segal stormed their way to eighth outof the 40 other teams with the B team of Adam Grimes, Oscar Loveday, Noah Brown and William Duncan coming 29th.
Sarah McGrath, Lily Palmer and Sara Laitner, the girls B team, finished 37th.
Up the age groups Jack Dickinson, Thomas Cooper, Robert Quigley and James Allison finished 17th out of 41 teams.
Will Bowran, Scott Brice, Cameron Clark and Oliver Davis finished 19th and Jess Laitner, Emily Anders and Keira Stern finished 16th in the U17 age group. The girls also had a B team made up of Aysha, Emily Barnes and Freya Weddell.
The club also put out three women's teams and one men's, each comprising six athletes, in the senior division.
That progression from the youngest age groups into the senior ranks is something the club is rightly proud of.
And despite problems with some of the results, George Withers, Edward Anders, Tom Halling, Steve Buckle, Philip Evans and Si Fraser were placed 45th out of the 80 teams.

Benchmarking financial systems in emerging and / or developing countries: financial development index
ESSID, ZINA
BOUJELBENE, YOUNES
PLIHON, DOMINIQUE
This paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the financial systems evolution in emerging and / or developing after significant financial changes. This comparative analysis was performed by the calcul of a composite financial development indicator on a sample of 52 emerging and / or developing countries in the period between 1996 and 2009 and from16 variables divided into six dimensions such as depth, efficiency, openness, legal, regulatory and macroeconomic stability. The main results are: (1) most countries which have a high degree of financial systems development are the richest one in terms of per capita income countries. Thus, the high-income countries tend to have more active and efficient financial system, and vice versa. (2) A solid institutional environment characterized by a strong legal and regulatory level limits financial systems development. (3) The regional averages show that the financial development level in Africa and the Middle East countries have relatively weaker in term of financial development. In contrary, Asia and emerging Europe economies have the highest financial development level. Latin America has an intermediate regional financial development score.

Q: Grouping by date using Meteor I would like to group posts by date, using Meteor, and still retain its characteristic reactivity. I don't know it that is really possible.
I am developing a website based on the Microscope, following the instructions from the book Discover Meteor, but I'm having a hard time making small changes, because I do not have experience with Meteor.
I made small adjustments to the original code book, but nothing that really change its original structure.
What I need to do is group posts by date so they look like this:

*

*Today

*

*Post 7

*Post 6

*Post 5

*Yesterday

*

*Post 4

*Post 3

*08/11/2014

*

*Post 2

*Post 1

My current code is structured as follows:
/client/view/posts/posts_list.js
Template.postsList.helpers({
    posts: function() {
        return Posts.find({}, {sort: {submittedDate: -1}});
    }
});

/client/view/posts/posts_list.html
<template name="postsList">

        {{#each posts}}
            {{> postItem}}
        {{/each}}
        {{#if nextPath}}
            Show more
        {{/if}}

</template>

/client/view/posts/post_item.js
Template.postItem.helpers({
    ownPost: function () {
        return this.userId == Meteor.userId();
    },
});

/client/view/posts/post_item.html
<template name="postItem">

{{title}}{{description}}

            {{commentsCount}} comments

        {{#if ownPost}}
            Edit
        {{/if}}

</template>

/collections/posts.js
Posts = new Meteor.Collection('posts');
Posts.allow({
    update: ownsDocument,
    remove: ownsDocument
});

Meteor.methods({
    post: function(postAttributes) {
        var user = Meteor.user(), postWithSameLink = Posts.findOne({url: postAttributes.url});
        if(!user)
        throw new Meteor.Error(401, "You need to be a registered user to do this");
        if(!postAttributes.title)
            throw new Meteor.Error(422, "Please, fill the name field");
        if(!postAttributes.description)
            throw new Meteor.Error(422, "Please, fill the description field");
        if(!postAttributes.url)
            throw new Meteor.Error(422, "Please, fill the URL field");
            if(postAttributes.url && postWithSameLink) {
            throw new Meteor.Error(302, "This URL already exist", postWithSameLink._id);
        }

        var post = _.extend(_.pick(postAttributes, 'url', 'title', 'description'), {
            userId: user._id,
            author: user.username,
            submittedDate: new Date().getTime(),
            commentsCount: 0
        });

        var postId = Posts.insert(post);
        return postId;
    }
});

/server/publications.js
Meteor.publish('posts', function(options) {
    return Posts.find({}, options);
});

Meteor.publish('singlePost', function(id) {
    return id && Posts.find(id);
});

Meteor.publish('comments', function(postId) {
    return Comments.find({postId: postId});
});

Meteor.publish('notifications', function() {
    return Notifications.find({userId: this.userId});
});

I tried several solutions I found here and on GitHub, but I could not make any of them work. The solutions I tried were these:
StackOverflow 1 (Meteor Issue 644): Are "group by" aggregation queries possible in Meteor, yet?
GitHub Arunoda's Approach: https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-smart-collections/issues/47
Also, I've tried to use the list-grouper (atmosphere package), but was not able to implement the package's instructions in my code.
If any good soul here knows how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. Very, very much! :)

A: I did not find a 'submittedDate' property on the meteor document object. It may be necessary that when you insert a new document (entry) to your DB, that you specify current date/time as one of the parameters to go along with the rest.

A: There's more code there than's needed for dealing with your core question, I think. I've simplified a bit -- hopefully this helps. I'll just note I'm not an expert -- also learning. I haven't had time to test this. But I think it addresses a way of accomplishing what you need.
I think the basic structure of the template would look something like this.

    {{#each post}}
        {{if isNewDate}}

{{writeDate}}

        {{/if}}

{{postName}}

    {{/each}}

The helpers.js file could look something like this, I think.
var tempDate = {}; //we need a variable outside the scope of the helper functions
Template.foobar.helpers ({
    post: function(){
        Posts.find({}, {sort: {submittedDate: -1}});
    },
    isNewDate: function(){
        //test if the date of this record matches the date of the previous record
        //if it's new, return true.
        //see momentJS -- makes dealing with dates sooooo much easier
        if( moment().format("LL", this.submittedDate) !== moment().format("LL", tempDate)){
            tempDate = this.submittedDate;
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    },
    writeDate: function(){
        return moment().format("LL", this.timestamp);
    }
})

Heavy screen time appears to impact childrens' brains
December 13, 2018 20:33·
Baby playing with a laptop
In the study by USA researchers into children's brain health, those who had developed premature thinning of the cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, were found to have spent multiple hours in front of screens. "It won't be until we follow them over time that we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we're seeing in this single snapshot".
"I think there's a recognition from the makers of these successful devices that perhaps there are issues with too much screen time", said Connie Guglielmo, Editor in Chief of CNET.
In a large study, American scientists scanned the brains of nine- and ten-year-olds in 21 research centers across the United States. In one pilot study, babies were unable to correlate playing virtual blocks on an iPad with stacking real, hands-on blocks when researchers transitioned activities.
"Parents play an important role in helping children and teens navigate the media environment, just as they help them learn how to behave off-line", said Dr. Yolanda Reid Chassiakos, the lead author of the AAP technical report. This period is critical for human brain development.

"But, first of all, we need to finish in the top four."
Wenger on Spurs
"This is one of the only times where Spurs look in people's minds as the favourites."
Wenger on derbies
"I'm not in a position where the sentiment comes in too much.
"Your colleague tells me that I'm playing my 50th, there were some special ones in there.
"Maybe one day, yes, I will write a book just about the derbies!"
Wenger on betting
"Well it is a little bit of a general problem in our society.
"Everywhere you can bet so you cannot be surprised that some people get addicted.
"If you don't want people to bet, you don't make betting official.
"Out of 100 people you would get 5 who get addicted, so if you don't want that to happen you don't make it official.
"I think football deals with the problem very well. If you don't follow the rules you are punished."
Wenger on Alexis and Fuchs
"I'm not sure he knew exactly the rule, do you know the rule?
"It's embarrassing? I don't feel like that, no."
More on Koscielny
Wenger confirms that it's "60/40" that Laurent Koscielny plays.
Wenger on derby
"It's true that always we have to respond if the worst happens.
"Let's make sure that the best happens and we give everything to finish the season strong."
Wenger on top three chances
"No, I don't think that the top three is decided.
"We have an opportunity to be in there only if we win our games, we don't have to speculate at all.
"There is a lot that can happen until the end of the season.
Wenger on back three
"Early to come to a conclusion [on a back three].
"It will be a good test on Sunday but I haven't decided on shape."
Wenger on future
"Before a game like this it doesn't cross my mind at all.
"There is no distraction. What is important in my life is the next game.
"I don't know. [when it will be announced]"
Wenger on mental strength
They have been very important because they have tested our capacity to respond to crisis of results.
We showed everybody that we have a mental strength.
Wenger positive over Koscielny's availability, Mustafi is still two weeks away however.
09:03 Adam Jones
The boss is here...
...but he's doing some club things first.
But, this does mean he will be with us very soon.
Due shortly
Arsene Wenger is due with us at 9am today.
But, if you're a regular around here, then you probably know that often he runs a bit late...
Maybe today is the day the Gunners boss is on time though!
Ahhh, nothing like a goal to silence the White Hart Lane crowd is there?
Boost already?
However, this is much better news.
Arsenal could have been handed an early boost for the North London derby with the news that Mousa Dembele could be out of Sunday's clash through injury.
He'd be a massive miss for Spurs.
Tottenham midfielder Moussa Dembele.
Henry on Arsenal/Spurs
Hmmm, this is never nice to see.
Surely at least Koscielny would get in there too?
Are those pre-derby nerves hitting you yet?
Arsenal travel to White Hart Lane on Sunday looking to continue a decent run of recent form.
Spurs are the form team in the league at the minute...but that just goes right out the window for a derby doesn't it?
We'll have live updates from Arsene Wenger's press conference coming right up, so don't move a muscle!

LETTER: Christians also share in mistreatment of women
Mike Osborne
Pastor Steve Odom is rightly incensed by the treatment of girls and women in Muslim communities worldwide ("Women's rights activists turn a blind eye to Islam", 10/22/16), but perhaps his ire would be more profitably directed at his own congregation, community, state and nation.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation reports there were 95 domestic violence murders in Tennessee last year. There were also more than 62,000 cases of domestic assault across the state. In the City of Murfreesboro alone, the MPD reports there were 2,695 cases of domestic violence in 2015. The overwhelming majority of these cases involve violence directed at women.
We may not refer to the domestic violence murder of American women as "honor killing," but the rage that drives these assaults comes from exactly the same place, and it isn't the man's particular faith.
Sad to say, violence against women cuts across all faiths, cultures and nationalities. Perhaps those of us who call ourselves Christian should heed Christ's admonition and "first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Odom: Women's rights activists turn a blind eye to Islam

Numbers Show Most Baltimore Cops Are From Minorities
05.14.2015 | Surge Wire |
Civil rights activists and liberal advocates have loudly charged that citizen frustration with a racially prejudiced Baltimore police department that torments the city's poor minority neighborhoods was behind the recent riots.
The critics haven't looked at the numbers. Here's what the data shows about the racial makeup of Baltimore's finest:
Of the 2,745 active duty police officers in the department — 1,445 –more than half are African-American, Hispanic, Asian or Native American, according to data provided by the Baltimore police department to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Four of its top six commanders are either African-American or Hispanic.
More than 60 percent of the incumbents at the highest command levels hail from minority communities.
Among the 46 Baltimore police officers who hold the rank of captain and above, 25 are from ethnic or racial minorities. That constitutes 54 percent of the command leadership.
In other words, Baltimore is a black-majority city led by a police force whose officers are also racial minorities.
"I'm not shocked by the numbers. The Baltimore department is representative of the community as a whole at every level of the organization," said Darrell W. Stephens, executive director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association in an interview with the DCNF. "It's not just the command staff. It's at all the way through."
His organization is a professional association of police chiefs and sheriffs representing the largest cities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Stephens has served at all levels, from a foot cop to a police chief.
Anthony W. Batts, an African-American, was hired by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, also African-American, in 2012 after serving as police chief in Oakland and Long Beach, California. Rawlings-Blake put Batts in charge of reforming the department.
Under Batts, Baltimore was one of eight cities participating in an experimental Obama administration police reform program run by the U.S. Department of Justice and its Office of Community Oriented Police Services, or COPS. The program was designed to provide policing that was less adversarial and emphasized a cooperative spirit in poor neighborhoods.
Batts disbanded a tough-on-crime unit called the Violent Crimes Impact Section, the source of many citizen complaints about police brutality against individuals across the racial spectrum.
He also invited community leaders to participate on official promotion boards for all candidates who sought the rank of captain or higher. Promotions were a contentious issue among minorities who felt they were not fully considered when top leadership positions became available.
Captain Eric Kowalczyk, now the police department's chief spokesman, explained what it was like when he sought a promotion from lieutenant to captan. "I had six people from the community who were on my panel," he said.
"Community leaders, community association presidents and others asked me very challenging questions about my views on community policing, what it means to me to be a city police officer, my views on crime enforcement," he said.
Batts also added an Office of Internal Oversight to the department's Professional Standards and Accountability Bureau, which investigated charges of police brutality.
The bureau's head for the last two-and-a-half years was Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez, who reported directly to Batts. Rodriguez overhauled the department's investigation of police shootings, in-custody deaths and use-of-force incidents that resulted in serious injury or death.
Rodriguez announced his retirement April 15, four days before the death of Freddie Gray, a Baltimore resident with 12 prior arrests. Gray died after being taken into custody in an arrest involving three white and three African-American Baltimore police officers.
The officers have been charged with multiple offenses, including murder and manslaughter, and the Department of Justice is conducting a "pattern-and-practices" investigation of allegations of racial discrimination in the city's police department.
The data on the racial makeup of the department flies in the face of repeated allegations of racially biased law enforcement.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, a Democrat who has represented Maryland in Congres since winning her first House seat in 1977, decried the police department, saying "in many cities throughout the country, including my own city of Baltimore, the trust between community and police is broken" as a result of discriminatory policing.
Members of the Baltimore City Council also denounced their own police department, writing to the mayor, "The City of Baltimore is in desperate need of a binding federal review of the police department."
In announcing the federal investigation, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch charged that Baltimore police officers "use excessive force, including deadly force, conduct unlawful searches, seizures and arrests, and engage in discriminatory policing."
Stephens, however, says that the most important feature of the Baltimore police department is that a large percentage of minorities serve in command levels.
"Leadership is incredibly important," he said. "They set the tone for the department. They set the direction. They are responsible for holding the department accountable. There's been significant minority leadership in the department for quite some time."
Apparently mindful of the numbers, some critics argue that a large minority presence in a police department does not mean enforcement will be unbiased.
Baltimore area resident Stacia L. Brown wrote in an April 29 New Republic article titled "Having Black Cops and Black Mayors Doesn't End Police Brutality" that African-American police officers can suffer from "unconscious" racial bias.
And a Vox Media article on May 12 supported Brown, arguing that "racially skewed" policing tactics can force black police officers to act with "subconscious bias" against their own kind.
"These policing tactics can actually create and accentuate personal, subconscious bias by increasing the likelihood that officers will relate blackness with criminality or danger — leading to what psychologists call 'implicit bias' against black Americans." Vox was founded by Markos Moulitsas, the creator of the left-wing Daily Kos.
Batts, however, sounded a different tone in 2013 when he issued his blueprint for reform, called a "strategic plan for improvement."
In an open letter to Baltimore residents, Batts said his plan "is built on a wide-ranging examination of all aspects of our department" and that most of all he wanted his officers "to uphold the highest ethical and professional standards."
Kowalczyk said internal changes in the police department don't matter if they aren't felt on the street.
"We have to get the community to feel the changes," he said. "Until the community feels the changes that we're making, we still have a lot of work to do."

Prospective members must be approved by faculty and administration and must demonstrate the four qualities of character, leadership, service and scholarship.
1. To create enthusiasm for scholarship.
2. To stimulate a desire to render service.
4. To develop character in the students of secondary school.


Ever feel like you are the only one who is sad in a world of happy people?
Everyone experiences stress, sadness and anxiety from time to time – it's a part of life. These feelings can often happen when you a lose a job, children move away from home, during divorce, with a death in the family, or during retirement. But when changes in mood and behavior interfere with one's ability to work, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities, it could be a sign of depression.
Depression is a serious medical illness; it's not something that you have made up in your head. It's more than just feeling "down in the dumps"or "blue" for a few days. It's feeling down, low or hopeless for weeks at a time. The reality is, depressive disorders affect approximately 18.8 million American adults. However, due to stigma and other factors, fewer than half of those suffering actually seek help.

Facebook sends privacy alerts to affected users

Facebook sends privacy alerts to affected users As many as 87 million users who might have had their data shared were supposed to get the detailed message on their news feeds. Check out this story on yorkdispatch.com: http://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/money/business/2018/04/10/facebook-sends-privacy-alerts-affected-users/33710779/
The Associated Press Published 3:36 p.m. ET April 10, 2018

Facebook has begun alerting some users that their data was swept up in the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal.
Anthony Bagnetto was one of many people who woke up Tuesday morning to a notification on his Facebook feed informing him that "one of" his friends used Facebook to log into a now-banned personality quiz app called "This Is Your Digital Life." The notice says the app misused the information, including public profile, page likes, birthday and current city, by sharing it with the political data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica.
"Anybody can be taken by this," said Bagnetto, 38, a triathlon coach who lives in Bloomfield, New Jersey, and said he didn't blame whichever of his friends took the quiz for exposing his data.
"It shouldn't take the pressure off Facebook because people cannot be expected to be that aware of what they're signing up for," Bagnetto said.
As many as 87 million users who might have had their data shared were supposed to get the detailed message on their news feeds starting Monday. Facebook says more than 70 million of the affected users are in the U.S., though there are over a million each in the Philippines, Indonesia and the U.K.
The notifications began appearing hours before Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was scheduled to address the privacy scandal in a congressional hearing Tuesday.
Darrell West said he wasn't too surprised to receive the notification, since he has about 5,000 Facebook friends and it would have taken just one of them to take the personality quiz.
But it still bothered West, who directs the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution in Washington. Cambridge Analytica, a consulting firm affiliated with Donald Trump's successful presidential campaign, obtained users' data through an app that was purportedly a research tool.
"It disturbs me that some of my information may have helped Donald Trump become president, even if I was only one of 87 million," West said. "I do think it mattered, just because it was information that was so detailed. It was providing a gold mine for the candidates who use it. It allowed them to target their advertising very effectively and really hone their message."
Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie previously estimated that more than 50 million people were compromised by the personality quiz that collected data from users and their friends. In an interview aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Wylie said the true number could be even larger than 87 million.
That Facebook app was created in 2014 by an academic researcher named Aleksander Kogan, who paid about 270,000 people to take it. The app vacuumed up not just the data of the people who took it, but also – thanks to Facebook's loose restrictions – data from their friends, including details that they hadn't intended to share publicly.
Facebook later limited the data apps can access, but it was too late in this case.
Zuckerberg has said Facebook came up with the 87 million figure by calculating the maximum number of friends that users could have had while Kogan's app was collecting data. The company doesn't have logs going back that far, he said, so it can't know exactly how many people may have been affected.
Facebook users who didn't get the notice can check the platform's help page to confirm that they weren't affected.
The notification also has a link to other apps that users have shared information with when they log into Facebook. Bagnetto said he found that information useful. He was comfortable with some of the fitness apps on the list, but deleted others, including games he hasn't been playing and an app for finding Wi-Fi connections.
"There was a handful that I absolutely didn't know what they were for," he said. "I just deleted them because I'm clearly not using them."

When interest is of interest
Recent Case Law – Insurance: When interest is of interest
In this article, Sara-Jane Eaton discusses the effect of Scales v MIB [2020] EWHC 1747 (QB) in cases where Spanish law applies to the question of interest.
Under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, the law of England and Wales will be the focus of claims brought under these regulations even after the Brexit transition. The foray into foreign law in such cases only tends to arise when looking at the local foreign standards.
However, on some occasions, a party may find themselves facing a foreign applicable law in the courts of England and Wales. Those in the travel industry, especially hotels operating abroad but with head offices in the UK and their insurers, will no doubt be aware of the potential impact of the case of Scales v MIB where Spanish law was deemed to apply via the Motor Vehicles Compulsory Insurance Information Centre and Compensation Regulations 2003 the effect of which is akin to the Rome II Regulation 864/2007 (which continues to apply post-Brexit transition, albeit that the UK will not be bound by any decisions made by the European Court of Justice as to its interpretation from 2021 onwards).
Mr Scales had been on a cycling holiday in Spain when he sustained significant injuries in a road traffic accident in 2015. The Motor Insurers' Bureau in the UK was cited as the defendant as they had stepped into the shoes of the Spanish Guarantee Fund. Following the Supreme Court decision of Moreno v MIB in 2016, Spanish law applied to Mr Scales' case, which meant that the UK court was required to assess not only liability but also the assessment of damages in the same manner as a court in Spain. Under Spanish law, it was necessary for the UK court to apply a tariff to the calculation of damages known as a Baremo. The Spanish Baremo underwent revision in 2016, with the effect that claims brought post-2016 resulted in award of damages that were far more generous. However, the previous, much less generous, Baremo applied to this case.
Issues in Scales v MIB
Three key issues were considered by the court. First, the judge decided that there was no flexibility in relation to damages that could be awarded in this particular case, resulting in a significant part of the claimant's past and future financial losses being deemed irrecoverable as the older Baremo applied.
The second issue was the consolidation date, namely the date on which the claimant's injuries stabilised – important in ascertaining which parts of Spanish law would be applicable and ultimately how much by way of damages the claimant would receive. At this point, it became apparent that the evidence obtained by parties in a UK court somehow fell short of that required under Spanish law, where a Spanish general expert would be appointed to assist the court in establishing the consolidation date.
The third and most significant issue in the case of Scales was whether an award of penalty interest should be made. Whilst there were limits as to what could be claimed under the Baremo, the judge decided to use his discretion to award interest in line with Spanish legal principles: the MIB was ordered to pay a penalty rate of 150% of the current Spanish legal interest rate on the full amount of damages for the first two years, and 20% thereafter, on the basis that they had failed to pay the victim promptly upon presentation of his claim. The fact that the MIB would not be aware of this particular issue in Spain was irrelevant. To put this in context, interest on damages under the laws of England and Wales are 2% on general damages and 0.1% on special damages, respectively.
A further twist in the tale occurred when dealing with the issue of costs. The judge decided that the claimant should indeed benefit from his own timely (Part 36) offer despite the fact that it was Spanish law that was applicable in the case, such that he was allowed to secure the additional benefits of making a Part 36 offer after securing higher damages than his own offer at trial. Such benefits comprising interest on damages and indemnity costs were therefore also awarded to the claimant's solicitors. A rather more expensive case than possibly anticipated.
Whilst it might be said that fewer cases where a foreign law applies will be heard by the UK courts post-Brexit, it seems widely accepted by most cross-border litigators that the UK and the EU may well eventually handle such claims by means of the Lugano Convention, affording much the same reciprocity as the Brussels regime did up to 31 December 2020; the potential impact of the decision in Scales cannot be denied. Over the last 20 years or so, the manner in which the question of interest has been handled by the UK courts has evolved considerably. In the case of Harding v Wealands [2006], it was decided by the then House of Lords that the quantification of damages was a question of procedure whilst the relevant heads of loss would be established by reference to the substantive law. In cases to follow, therefore, interest was a question for the law of the forum.
In Maher v Groupama [2009], the UK court indicated that UK interest would be available, although discretion would be used in considering the applicable relevant provisions of the foreign law with regard to the recovery of interest. The advent of Rome II and the right to sue in one's home courts under the Odenbreit principle did not offer much clarity even though the foreign law would be decided by the UK courts. Was interest a question of substantive law, or was it still governed by procedure, namely the court where the claim was brought? The latter seemed to be favoured.
The case of XP v Compensa [2016] turned the position on its head when the court decided to award interest in accordance with the law where the accident occurred. In this particular case, Polish law applied. Therefore, the case of Scales continues to support the tendency of the UK courts to apply foreign law interest on the assessment of damages as opposed to the very low rates suggested by the courts of England and Wales. What is certain is that, for as long as a foreign law may apply in the assessment of damages in the UK courts, parties (and their insurers) should be very careful to ensure that they are aware of the rules applicable to interest under the foreign law, and remember to include adequate provision for interest, especially when it is potentially of a substantial nature, as under Spanish law, in calculating offers and reserves.
