The California Medical Association (CMA) has announced its sponsored bill package for the 2016 legislative session. Among them is a bill inspired by the tragic deaths last year of two medical students from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), at the hands of a drunk driver.
In May 2015, two UCSD medical students were killed by a drunk driver going the wrong way, causing a collision that killed two medical students and injured three others.
In the wake of the accident, classmates of the victims worked with Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez and CMA to develop legislation (Assembly Bill 2121) that would better equip servers and bartenders to identify signs of overconsumption and intervene before tragedy strikes.
This bill seeks to help reduce alcohol service to intoxicated individuals and to reduce drunk driving by requiring establishments that serve alcohol to employ servers and managers who have received responsible beverage service training.
This bill prohibits health insurance plans from developing and implementing clinical care "pathways" that dictate how medical professionals practice medicine.
Current law requires a portion of certain infractions and fines to be donated in the Maddy Emergency Medical Services Fund, which provides reimbursement to physicians who treat uninsured patients. This bill would remove the sunset date on the program, making it a permanent program.
This bill will reestablish a Physician Health and Wellness Program for California physicians suffering from substance abuse, mental and behavioral health issues.

Did you know that 5,000 individuals are killed around the world every year in honour killings? Honour-based violence (HBV) is a persistent international issue defined as a crime or incident committed to protect the so-called honour of the family or community. The concept of 'honour' has an important meaning for certain communities, and when a woman does not behave as expected she is accused of bringing shame to the family by her immoral acts. However, killing in the name of honour is just the most severe form of HBV, but this practice can be suffered in a lot of different ways, including forced marriages, kidnappings, assaults, and imprisonments. Most of the victims of HBV are women and girls, being those aged 25 or under at further risk.
While this practice is most common in South Asia and the Middle East, there is evidence that HBV is also a major problem in the UK. Official statistics show that around 12 people are killed each year as a result of HBV in the UK, with around 11,000 honour crimes recorded between 2010 and 2014. Although this data is already terrifying and unacceptable, the real scale of the problem may be underestimated in the official records. This is because many women suffering from HBV do not report these crimes due to fear, threats, or emotional and economic dependency on the aggressor. Moreover, the criminal justice system and other institutions, such as the police, do not make it easier for the victims due to a lack of preparation and knowledge on the issue.
One case of bad institutional handling of HBV that may ring a bell with you is the one that led to the murder of Banaz Mahmod in January 2006. Mahmod was an Iraqi Kurdish woman who moved to England at the age of 10. She was murdered by her family for escaping a forced marriage to a man who abused her and for later being with a partner of her choice. What is scandalous about this case is not only her brutal murder, but that Banaz did report to the police on several times fearing for her life, but her testimony was not taken seriously and was dismissed as fantasy.
Although the case of Mahmod was supposed to set a precedent in the handling of HBV violence by the authorities, honour killings have continued in the UK and formal institutions are still unprepared to understand and deal with HBV. In fact, although there are numerous reports to the police of HBV violence every year in the UK, only a minority of these reported incidents results in charges. It is imperative that measures are taken in order to protect the victims of HBV and to prevent these practices from happening.
Honour killings and HBV are atrocious acts, contrary to British law, that must be introduced in the political debate to take strong actions against its persistence. JAN Trust has been working on this issue for almost 30 years, involved at the grassroots level with local communities to raise awareness against this phenomenon and its awful consequences, as well as providing advice and guidance to women suffering from HBV. We also provide training on HBV for agencies across London and the UK. If you wish to arrange a training session please contact us on info@jantrust.org.

Beyonce on Michelle Obama: She 'Inspires All of Us to Do Better and to Be Better'
Pop star hails former First Lady in Time's "100 Most Influential People" issue
Picturegroup/REX/Shutterstock, Jose Luis Magana/AP/REX/Shutterstock
Beyoncé praised the grace, brilliance and hard work of Michelle Obama, saying the former First Lady "inspires all of us to do better and to be better" in a short essay for Time's annual "100 Most Influential People" issue.
At the start of the essay, Beyoncé recalled meeting Obama on the eve of Barack Obama's first inauguration, remembering how she was "embraced by a warm, regal, confident woman who possessed a reassuring calm."
"Loving Michelle Obama wasn't much of a choice," Beyoncé said. "It was something that came naturally, because of how she carried herself. Because she resembled us and was moving in spaces where, as black Americans, we weren't exactly meant to be, she seemed so powerful."
For Beyoncé, Obama projected a potent kind of familiarity — "The way she looked, walked and spoke, in that warm but authoritative tone, we saw our mothers and sisters" — while the pop star also noted her ability to be strong, ambitious and forthright "without sacrificing honesty or empathy." Citing Obama's Reach Higher initiative, which promotes continuing education past high school, Beyoncé said, "She empowers all of us to interrogate our fears and surpass greatness."
"I'm honored to know such a brilliant black woman who's spoken about the sacrifice it takes to balance her passions while remaining a supportive partner and mother, and now a best-selling author with Becoming," Beyoncé continued. "She has continued to open herself up, even if it meant being criticized. She has continued to be a portrait of grace."
Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, have been longtime supporters of the Obamas, especially during President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign (Beyoncé even sang the National Anthem at his second inauguration). The Obamas, in turn, have been vocal fans of the two musicians, placing their songs on various public playlists. Last July, Michelle Obama was even spotted dancing with Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, at a Beyoncé and Jay-Z show in Paris, France.
Along with publishing her essay on Obama today, Beyoncé also released a new live album, Homecoming, to coincide with her new Netflix concert film.

"Isabelle was a pleasure to work with. Super sweet and very responsive. She took the time to meet with me multiple times before the wedding through various methods (in person, phone calls, face time). She made sure that I did the things that I needed to do and she helped with anything that she could. On the day of and at the rehearsal, she kept my wedding party and guest on track. I feel that she was very reasonably priced for the services she provided. If I had to do it all again I would definitely stick with Isabelle!
"Isabelle and her team were phenomenal. She was always available to talk through details and made me feel sane through the entire experience. I couldn't imagine planning a wedding without Isabelle and her team.
"My new husband and I LOVED working with both Isabelle and Joleen. They were there for me when I needed them, worked very well with my family and bridal party, and helped to connect all the dots between all of our vendors. I felt so care free on my wedding day because I was confident their team had everything under control in the background. I would definitely recommend them to any future brides or grooms.
"Isabelle was awesome and her team made my daughter's wedding extraordinary! She helped us think through and add things we never would have thought of had we not had Isabelle. She is calm, intelligent and an all around awesome wedding coordinator. She and Kaylee made my daughter's wedding a wonderful, fun and exciting time, as well as beautiful, organized and lovely. What a HUGE help she and Kaylee were! I would highly recommend her !! You truly cannot find anyone as kind and together as Isabelle."

10 House Republicans vote to impeach Trump
By David Sherfinski - The Washington Times
Ten House Republicans voted with Democrats on Wednesday to impeach President Trump for inciting insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week.
Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who chairs the House GOP conference, said there's never been a "greater betrayal" by a U.S. president of his office and his oath to the Constitution.
Before the vote on Wednesday, she rejected House conservatives' call for her to step aside.
"I'm not going anywhere. This is a vote of conscience," she said.
Other House Republicans acknowledged that Mr. Trump might have used poor judgment.
But they objected to Democrats' speeding through an impeachment vote and said it was simply another part of the party's years-long quest to get the president out of office.
Rep. John Katko of New York was the first House Republican to announce he would vote yes on impeachment.
"To allow the president of the United States to incite this attack without consequences is a direct threat to the future of this democracy," Mr. Katko said in a floor speech on Tuesday.
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington said in a floor speech on Wednesday that neither Mr. Trump nor President-elect Joseph R. Biden is the enemy.
"Truth sets us free from fear," she said. "With truth comes love and we could use that right now. My vote to impeach our sitting president is not a fear-based decision. I am not choosing a side - I'm choosing truth. It's the only way to defeat fear."
Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington said on the House floor on Wednesday that Democrats are responsible for failing to call out violent protesters last year, just as Republicans are responsible for failing to speak out before the president's remarks last week.
"There is no excuse for President Trump's actions," Mr. Newhouse said. "The president took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Last week there was a domestic threat at the door of the Capitol and he did nothing to stop it."
The other House Republicans who voted yes are:
- Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
- Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
- Peter Meijer of Michigan
- Tom Rice of South Carolina
- Fred Upton of Michigan
- David Valadao of California
No House Republicans voted to impeach Mr. Trump in December 2019.
The Democrat-led House voted then to impeach Mr. Trump for abusing his power by strong-arming Ukraine to dig up dirt on Mr. Biden and then obstructing the investigation into his conduct.
The GOP-led Senate voted to acquit the president in February 2020.

When Randy "Macho Man" Savage crushed Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat's larynx with a timekeeper's bell during a 1987 bout for pro wrestling's Intercontinental Championship belt, it certainly looked real. The "blood" that Hulk Hogan spilled across the ring in a legendary 2005 Summer Slam beat down on Shawn Michaels also looked pretty darn legitimate. Yet even diehard wrestling fans know deep down inside that the thunderous leg drops, debilitating sleeper holds and soap opera style shenanigans that go on inside the square circle are staged.
The suspicion can be confirmed, thanks to a Louisiana law. The "sport" of pro wrestling was illegal within state lines under a law banning boxing and wrestling events that are "sham or fake contests or exhibitions." Enacted in 1974, the law was amended to exempt pro wrestling from the prohibition in 2007 [source: La Legal].


Democrats have become an endangered species in the Texas Panhandle.
The ranks of Democratic officeholders in Potter County have shrunk dramatically in the past decade, for example. In neighboring Randall County, the last elected Democrat was drummed out of office in 1994 when Randy Sherrod lost his re-election bid to Republican James Farren.
At the county level, though, partisan battles these days are rare.
One of them just might develop in Potter County's Precinct 2, where County Commissioner Mercy Murguia has just taken office after being appointed by County Judge Arthur Ware to succeed the late Commissioner Manny Perez, who died in late October from throat surgery complications.
Why is this appointment so interesting and how does it set up a potentially fierce fight in 2012 and beyond?
Well, Ware is a Republican, yet he appointed a card-carrying Democrat to fill the seat that another devoted Democrat, Perez, had occupied since 1987.
Murguia, who's all of 32 years of age, said after her appointment that she intends to run for election next year as a Democrat. The precinct she represents comprises one of the few remaining pockets of Democratic voters in the Panhandle. Perez, you'll recall, was re-elected in 2010 - without opposition.
"I intend to seek help from the party organization," Murguia said of her planned election bid next year. "Yes, you have to be mindful of party affiliation," she said, "although it's not a critical component."
This all presents an opportunity for put-upon Democrats who have watched their grip on power erode dramatically over the years.
Of the more than two dozen elected offices in Potter County, only three of them (not counting Murguia) are held by Democrats: Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Nancy Bosquez, Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Thomas Jones and Precinct 4 County Commissioner Alphonso Vaughn. In recent years, the 108th District judge seat once held by Abe Lopez has gone Republican, as has the County Clerk's office once held by Sue Daniel.
It can be argued that partisanship is no determinant in many of these offices. How is it, for example, that Democratic judges administer justice differently from Republican judges? Or how does a Republican tax collector-assessor do his job differently than a Democrat in the same office?
And one surely had a difficult time pigeon-holing Manny Perez. Even though he was a proud Democrat, he hardly was of the spendthrift variety that Republicans like to demonize at the state and national levels of politics. He was proud protector of taxpayers' money and took every opportunity to call himself a fiscal conservative.
Every election cycle brings plenty of brave talk among Panhandle Democrats that "this is the year" they'll begin their climb back to political relevance. That talk, though, has been dashed at the ballot box as Republicans tighten their grip on the reins of power.
Ware's appointment of Murguia, though, could foretell an interesting contest next year. State law did not compel Ware to pick a commissioner who comes from the same party as the man who held the seat for nearly a quarter-century. But the county judge honored the beliefs of the Precinct 2 constituents who re-elected a Democrat many times and whose philosophy deserved to be honored with this selection.
Then again, it does provide for the possibility of a dogfight next year as Republicans see a chance to pick off yet another elected office while their party continues its climb to ever-greater heights.
Meanwhile, Democrats now have a chance to prove their intention to fight for their electoral turf.


In this chapter I want to do two things. First, I want to explain how slavery mirrors other economic pursuits in becoming globalized. Second, I want to look at the traditional types of slavery practiced in Mauritania and Sudan in order to take up the thorny question of the "redemption" of slaves in Sudan and to shed a little light on this problem by contextualizing it historically and socially.
Discussing globalization can itself be problematic because of the different meanings and interpretations given this word. In defining it, I follow the work of Martin Albrow, one of the originators of the term in its current usage.1 As a result of his work, we can think of globalization as a dramatic shift from the stage of human history known as modernity. Whereas modernity was essentially defined by time, globality (the state generated by the process of globalization or from which the process of globalization arises) is essentially defined by space. Whereas modernity was embedded in the concept of the nation-state, globality transcends nation-state boundaries. In practical terms the process of globalization involves, in part, "the active dissemination of practices, values, technology and other human products throughout the globe,"2 as well as the historical transformation that arises from this process.

Best savings accounts 2015
Posted: January 16, 2015 Research-center
There are two big challenges in shopping for savings accounts today. The first is that savings account interest rates are extremely low, averaging just 0.176 percent over the past year. The second is that when you find an above-average rate, it's unclear how long it will last. Savings account rates can change at any time, so when you sign up at a given rate, there's no telling whether you will still be getting that competitive rate next year, or even next month.
In assembling its list of the best savings accounts for 2015, MoneyRates.com sought to address each of these challenges with an approach that highlights banks that pay high rates on a consistent basis. In doing so, it found nine savings accounts that averaged an annual percentage yield of 0.80 percent or better throughout the last four quarters -- a figure more than four times the overall category average for that period.
These rates, like all savings account rates, are subject to change. But by focusing on the average rate an account offered over the course of a full year, this study highlights accounts that have offered consistently competitive rates, as opposed to just short-lived special offers.
The past year's best savings accounts
Based on their consistently strong performance over the past year, MoneyRates.com believes the following banks are likely to offer the best savings account rates in 2015:
1. Synchrony Bank. While Synchrony Bank is a relative newcomer to the MoneyRates.com survey, it has topped each of the last two America's Best Rates lists and attracts new customers with its free savings accounts. (Note: In an older version of this post, Synchrony Bank was referred to by its previous name.)
2. Barclays Bank. With an average rate of 0.900 percent last year, Barclays is another bank that enjoyed strong year-over-year deposit growth, with an increase of 27.5 percent -- the best of any bank on this list. Barclays has placed in the top half of each of the last four America's Best Rates top 10 lists.
3. CIT Bank. Bucking the trend toward lower rates, CIT Bank raised its savings account rate over the course of the past year, to finish with an average of 0.879 percent. This is another example of competitive rates attracting customers: CIT bank experienced 24.8 percent year-over-year deposit growth.
4. Capital One 360 Bank. Another consistent member of the America's Best Rates top 10, Capital One 360 Bank offered an average savings account rate of 0.869 percent over the past four quarterly surveys.
5. Ally Bank. As a pioneer of online-only banking, Ally has long used competitive rates as a way of attracting customers, and last year was no different. Ally offered an average rate of 0.866 percent, and is another of the rare banks that actually raised its savings account rate as the year went on.
6. Discover Bank. Though perhaps best known for its credit cards, Discover Bank also has more than $40 billion in deposits. With an average rate of 0.838 percent over the most recent four quarterly surveys, it is no surprise that these deposits continue to grow.
7. FNBO Direct. A subsidiary of First National Bank of Omaha, FNBO Direct offers online banking products. Its savings account rate averaged 0.829 percent, which helped the company increase its deposits by 24.9 percent in the space of one year.
8. Sallie Mae Bank. A model of consistency, Sallie Mae Bank offered a savings account rate of 0.800 percent in each of the last four quarterly surveys. This helped the bank increase its deposits by 25 percent year over year.
It should be noted that the products and rates offered by banks differ from region to region, so you should always check the specific rate in your area before choosing a bank.
Does the MoneyRates.com approach to identifying consistently strong savings account rates really indicate which will be the best savings accounts for the year ahead? It seems to do pretty well. At the beginning of last year, MoneyRates.com cited seven banks as having the best savings accounts for 2014. Five of those seven turned out to have rates in the top 10 over the course of the last year, and the other two were not far off.
So while past performance cannot guarantee future results, based on the consistency of their rates, the savings accounts on the above list have a strong chance of being among the best vehicles of their type for the year ahead.
(Ed. note: An earlier version of this article featured Doral Bank as the No. 1 bank on the list. That institution has since failed.)

This business of photography is changing. Constantly. Yet, fundamental business principles remain the same, which, while I created Photo Business News & Forum for that, the idea for this blog was born from the ongoing and regular inquries I get from friends and colleagues with the question - "How do I estimate this job?" They usually have an idea, but want feedback to make sure they've not forgotten anything. Sometimes, this job is the first time they've estimated this particular type of assignment. I am happy to help. Further, one of the more popular features of my book, Best Business Practices for Photographers is the actual, concrete real-world examples of requests I have had, and the back-and-forth I had with clients negotiating along the way.
Here at Estimates & Bids, I am hoping to take the mystery out of the process (well, as much as possible) of estimates. I'll be posting requests from recent clients, and interactions, where I have them.
In a departure from Photo Business News & Forum and Assignment Construct, you too will have the opportunity to have inquiries that came to you put forth to the collective community. Send them over for consideration, and I'll post them. This endeavor will be so much more beneficial to all if you send inquiries and interactions that you've had. I won't say that it won't work without you, there will always be lurkers, but it will just be so much broader and colorful if you do.
Your opportunity to participate as a respondent to the request will be moderated. I don't want off-topic comments to seep into the dialog, and I don't want to be going through and deleting those types of posts, so, your response to the post/inquiry should be thoughtful and complete, or it won't make it up.
This process does not presume that you are actually qualified to complete the job. But, do you know what you're talking about? We'll see.
Further, because some people think "collateral" means one thing, and "buyout" means one thing, we won't be using vague terminology. We'll be using PLUS codes for the uses requested. The PLUS Coalition did such a wonderful job of demystifying every type of use under the sun, that we would be derelict in our obligation to clarity to try to define the uses any other way.
Further, there will be a "Hot" or "Sticky" post type. These will be jobs that you, dear reader, are working on with an active client. They require a timely response, and I urge people to especially respond to these as they come across an RSS feed. Doing so will help your fellow photographer properly estimate the job, and they will be able to read your responses while they are preparing their estimate, or, perhaps to learn where they forgot something.
So, what is an Estimate, and what is a Bid?
Estimate - A outline of approximate costs, including fees and expenses (and potential additional expenses), including the licensing, terms of payment, and other elements critical to the execution and completion of an assignment. Final dollars involved may be more (or less) than the estimated total, but not by much, unless approved by the photographer and client.
Bid - A "do not exceed" and "will not be less than" outline of costs, fees and expenses, including the licensing, terms of payment, and other elements critical to the execution and completion of an assignment.
Thus, we'll be discussing both.
Would you have done it differently? Maybe, maybe not.
I encourage you to sign up on the main page, and get updates and information, and set your RSS reader to pick up my entries. You'll get full feeds, of course, no short-changing here.
For the seasoned professional, there's always more to learn, and it is my hope that you pick up insights as to how to better estimate, or even to share with your fellow photographer estimate inquiries you've been presented with yourself. For the aspiring photographer, you'll hopefully take away wholesale solutions and systems to use to approach the estimating process.

Great Thing of the Day: Matthew McConaughey's Geeky Prom Photo Is Totally Adorable
By Victoria Dawson Hoff
He might officially be an Oscar winner, but Matthew McConaughey is still not immune to ghosts of teenage years past. One Twitter user with a very lucky connection to the actor shared this flashback image with the world last night, shortly after his win for Dallas Buyers Club. Magic Mike, it is not:
My aunt's high school prom date just won an Oscar. Congrats, Matthew McConaughey! #oscars pic.twitter.com/B4nhrau9sk
— leah pickett (@leahkpickett) March 3, 2014
First of all, @leahkpickett, I'm not sure whether to congratulate your aunt for going to prom with Matthew McConaughey or for the fact that she managed to so perfectly match her dress to her shoes—which, along with her feathered hair, is flawless. (Happy '80s!) Second of all, I sort of imagined teenage McConaughey like his character in Dazed and Confused: super slick, too cool for school, and probably mustached. Still, it's always fun to see that a man who has been dubbed the Sexiest Man Alive was kind of dorky in high school. Alright, alright, alright.

A new Barrio Logan brewery with a beer hall vibe, fun graphical design, a multicultural approach and eventually a kitchen. Attitude Brewing makes a good addition to the Barrio Logan craft beer scene.
There are now TWO HUNDRED San Diego breweries and tasting rooms (including six non-craft breweries and one non-craft tasting room). Add to that the 14 non-San Diego craft brewpubs and…well, that's a lot of beer. The net increase since last month is three, and the coming six weeks should see at least four new spots open.
Just a few months old at the time I visited, Creative Creature Brewing has a small though nice set up. They join a fairly crowded craft beer landscape in La Mesa/El Cajon/Santee.

Lok Satta Party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan today accused the traditional parties of chanting the social justice mantra to corner votes in the ensuing elections and not to render justice to the downtrodden sections.
Traditional party Governments have deliberately chosen not to transfer powers, resources and personnel to local self-governments simply because the downtrodden and women have a say in their functioning thanks to reservations, Dr. JP told a conference on social justice. Had they been social justice votaries, they would have devolved powers on local bodies.
Representatives of SCs, STs, BCs, minorities and women from various districts attended the conference held at the Lok Satta Party headquarters. Messrs Syed Jahanuddin, Akurati Muralikrishna, Jupally Satyanarayana, Vijay Singh, J. Irammurthy, Satish Gowd and Gajanani were among the leaders who took part in the conference.
The Lok Satta President pointed out that there could be no social justice so long as parties remained private properties of certain families, which have mastered the art of catalyzing politics into business. The dynastic political enterprises would not allow power to slip from their fingers by enabling the disadvantaged to have a say in the functioning of parties or governments. That's why these parties have ceased to function democratically.
The political enterprises make social justice impossible also by indulging in corruption and siphoning of the scarce resources to enrich themselves at the cost of the deserving downtrodden. They also deny social justice by centralizing power in their hands as decentralization might give a say to weaker sections and come in the way of corruption.
In this connection, Dr. JP referred to the Switzerland Government's decision to relax bank secrecy provisions and allow access to American tax evaders' secret bank accounts to the U. S. Government. Reports say that Indians had secreted as much as US $70 billion in Swiss banks, but politicians as a class have chosen not to pursue the black money trail.
Dr. JP pointed out that the political enterprises have developed a vested interest in perpetuating poverty since they will have a ready reservoir of poor people who can be hired as political workers or serve as vote banks.
Dr. JP said Governments fiddling with categories of backward classes or shifting some to the ST list did not amount to social justice. He recalled that the architects of the Constitution envisaged a society in which every one enjoyed equal rights. But because of rotten politics, the weaker sections had been deprived of their rights. The Constitution did provide reservations for certain sections for a definite period but politicians see virtue in continuing them forever so that they can set can set one caste against another and reap political advantage.
"Real social justice could be ensured only when every one has access to quality education, health care, employment opportunities and social security. That is possible only when the political system is cleansed thoroughly. Kerala is a standing example to the role education plays in uplifting any community. If Ezhavas, one of the most backward communities once, have developed, they owe it to Narayan Guru, who promoted education among them. The present Kerala Chief Minister belongs to that community.
Dr. JP said that internal democracy in parties and proportional representation to all castes and classes, genuine decentralization of power and an agenda that helps people stand on their own feet alone would ensure social justice.


"A 10-year (2000-2010) systematic review of interventions to improve qu" by Mary C. Conry, Niamh Humphries et al.
A 10-year (2000-2010) systematic review of interventions to improve quality of care in hospitals.
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Against a backdrop of rising healthcare costs, variability in care provision and an increased emphasis on patient satisfaction, the need for effective interventions to improve quality of care has come to the fore. This is the first ten year (2000--2010) systematic review of interventions which sought to improve quality of care in a hospital setting. This review moves beyond a broad assessment of outcome significance levels and makes recommendations for future effective and accessible interventions. METHODS: Two researchers independently screened a total of 13,195 English language articles from the databases PsychInfo, Medline, PubMed, EmBase and CinNahl. There were 120 potentially relevant full text articles examined and 20 of those articles met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Included studies were heterogeneous in terms of approach and scientific rigour and varied in scope from small scale improvements for specific patient groups to large scale quality improvement programmes across multiple settings. Interventions were broadly categorised as either technical (n = 11) or interpersonal (n = 9). Technical interventions were in the main implemented by physicians and concentrated on improving care for patients with heart disease or pneumonia. Interpersonal interventions focused on patient satisfaction and tended to be implemented by nursing staff. Technical interventions had a tendency to achieve more substantial improvements in quality of care. CONCLUSIONS: The rigorous application of inclusion criteria to studies established that despite the very large volume of literature on quality of care improvements, there is a paucity of hospital interventions with a theoretically based design or implementation. The screening process established that intervention studies to date have largely failed to identify their position along the quality of care spectrum. It is suggested that this lack of theoretical grounding may partly explain the minimal transfer of health research to date into policy. It is recommended that future interventions are established within a theoretical framework and that selected quality of care outcomes are assessed using this framework. Future interventions to improve quality of care will be most effective when they use a collaborative approach, involve multidisciplinary teams, utilise available resources, involve physicians and recognise the unique requirements of each patient group.

A small town located 437km west to chengdu and 83km west of Kangding, at the separating point of the North and South Sichuan-Tibet highway, with Ganze in the northwest and Litang in the west.
The town itself is nothing more than a stopover but the area between Zheduoshan and Xinduqiao features plateau pasture scenery of rolling chain of mountains, river valleys dotted with poplars, grassland, Tibetan villages.
It's renowned as "the paradise of photographers", offering seasonal stunning views, especially in the autumn.
Best Season : end of Sept. to early Nov.
Option 1 – take daily buses from Kangding, earliest departing 6:00am, Y115/head. Or, collective taxis are available beside Kangding Broadcast & TV Tower for Y20/head, which is more comfortable and flexible for making stops.
Option 2 - charter a mini van nearby Kangding bus station. Local drivers are more experienced with the road conditions and sights. it costs about Y150 for a whole day tour, incl. visiting Tagong grassland/monastery.
** The gravel road form kangding to Xinduqiao is extremely harsh, 80km may take 5~6hrs.
Xiankelai Guesthouse (仙客来) - located on the right side of the main street across the bridge. It's operated by some Public Security Bureau members. Y10/head for Tibet style beddings, Y15/head for common Chinese style room. Shared shower room with 24hrs' hot water.
the enchanting plateau pasture scenery - Xinduqiao itself is a small town, the "paradise for photographers" usually mean the section from Zheduo Mt. to the town, where brilliant colors is presentable in autmun.
the ancient temple(居寺) and the mystical Muya celestial burial spot /木崖天葬台, 4km southeast of the town, which is worth exploring.


The drem() function computes the remainder of dividing x by y. The return value is x - n * y, where n is the quotient of x / y, rounded to the nearest integer. If the quotient is 1/2, it is rounded to the even number.

What if I don't think I can afford the tuition?
Catholic schools can seem expensive compared to other school options. While the cost of tuition is an investment in your child's future and success, there are select financial support and scholarships available based on family financial needs and student merit. To learn more, please get in touch with an individual school by searching using our School Finder.
How can I visit a Catholic school?
Absolutely. We encourage attending an open house or schedule a tour to learn more about the unique programs and qualities at our individual schools. You can find an upcoming open house using our Open House Finder. To apply, you can visit the school website for details or call the school directly using the phone number available in the School Finder or Open House Finder.
How and when do I apply and enroll?
It's not too late! Our schools that offer preschool, transitional kindergarten, and elementary grades do not have strict application deadlines. If there are openings available, we welcome interested parents and students year-round. High school applications are due in January and admissions decisions are made in February. Please use our School Finder to locate and contact a school for details.
Are Catholic schools just for Catholics?
All are welcome! Catholic schools are open to people of all faith practices and backgrounds. The beliefs and virtues of Catholicism are present in everything we do, but we foster an environment of critical thinking where any student can grow and thrive.
How much emphasis is put on religious instruction?
At our Catholic schools, the curriculum balances traditional academics with faith formation. The specific programs vary by school, but we place equal emphasis on developing the minds and hearts of our students. Student are invited to participate in the sacraments such as mass and confession and learn about the core beliefs, truths, and teachings of the Catholic faith.
What do current parents of Catholic school students think?
Based on our recent survey of Catholic school parents in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura, parents are much more satisfied with Catholic schools than public schools, charter schools, and other private schools. The top things they appreciate about Catholic education are the focus on character development, strong academics, committed teachers and staff, safe and supportive community, and individual attention that students receive.
Have another question?
We'd love to get in touch. Please use our School Finder for the email and phone number of our school staff.

Some places are just plain different. The Old West is the weirdest of the weird. Gunslingers walked the street with women who wore long dresses in the harsh sun. Sheriffs shot men before asking questions. You had to know how to play poker, and hold your alcohol. Moonshine, and whatever passed as whiskey then.
But you know all that already. Heck, you probably hung out with Doc Brown in the 1800s, getting to experience all the adventure first hand. Last time you went back in time to see the old west all you could find was an old top hat. You didn't make it very far with only that, did you? No the locals figured out something was a little odd about you when they saw your Darth Vader t-shirt. This time though, you are going to be prepared.
You figure you just need to look like one of them. And with this Adult Ole' Cowhand Cowboy Costume you will fit right in. It has all the things the cowboys you saw there had. A faux leather vest, chaps made of the same brown fabric so you can ride a horse, and a ten gallon hat. Well, maybe it doesn't have everything that you might need, it is missing a gun. And you can't be no gunslinger in the old west without a gun. Don't worry though, just add one of our many guns to your cart before you check out. Then you will be all set to take another trip to the past with Doc Brown's Delorean…just don't break it, you don't want to be stuck in the weirdest place ever—the Old West, do you? We didn't think so.

This 1″ or 1-1/8″ thick saw & tooth holder combination is most commonly used where the disc is subject to high-energy impacts. This design is one of Quadco's strongest, intended for heavy duty harvesting applications. All 2-1/4″ kerf teeth adapt to this disc family.
This 7/8″ thick disc & tooth holder configuration is most commonly used where maximized accumulations is necessary. The tooth holder design allows the tree support plate to approach the teeth and additional 2 inches. This disc is not recommended for use in high impact harvesting conditions. All 2-1/4″ kerf shanked teeth adapt to this disc family.
This lightweight 7/8″, 1″ or 1-1/8″ thick disc & tooth holder configuration is most commonly used where tough or abrasive harvesting conditions are factors. Both the heavier tooth holders adding torque to the lightweight saw blade combined with a narrower tooth kerf (2″ and less) make this saw highly efficient for its application. The "wear plate" in front of the tooth deflects abrasives from the disc, further prolonging the life of the saw disc.
Becomes much like one-piece disc yet retains well proven modular concept.

Children in Denmark will play their way through hospital treatment
A new online platform collects ideas on how to use play in the treatment of children and adolescents. The goal is to help the patients better handle everything from blood tests to long term illnesses.
21. august 2019, KL 13:00
Vent...
Did you know that it is possible to soothe a child scheduled for a blood test by giving them a digital teddy bear to take care of? Or that you can boost patients' finger motor skills by getting them to perform a magic show? You can also reduce the drama of inserting an IV by inviting the patients to engage in a water fight using the IV tubes as toy pistols.
Medical Staff working with children and adolescents often use a playful approach to facilitate and demystify needle-prick procedures, scans, rehabilitation and other treatments – to help children, young people and their families navigate hospital visits more successfully. Rigshospitalet is now inviting hospitals throughout Denmark to share examples of play from their daily practise on PlayPedia.dk, a new online platform developed as part of the preparation of Children's Hospital Copenhagen – the new hospital building for children, adolescents, pregnant women and their families.
Children's desire to play is a resource
"Children keep playing even if they are sick or hospitalised. Their natural desire for play is a valuable resource when they need to be examined or treated," says Elisabeth Ginsberg, Head of Strategy and Innovation at Children's Hospital Copenhagen. She has been involved in developing PlayPedia and explains:
"On PlayPedia, one of the play activities is 'My Teddy Companion'. Here a child uses an app to accompany a digital teddy bear undergoing a procedure such as a blood test. Taking care of the teddy bear helps calming the child before he or she has to go through the same procedure. In this way, you defuse something that could otherwise create stress and anxiety, and there is room to be a child within the reality of a hospital setting."
The ambition to use play even more actively in treatment is one of the guiding principles of BørneRiget. PlayPedia.dk is intuitive to navigate, and the content is searchable in terms of treatment situations and age level.
Leading the way in play and health – together
The examples of playful activities on PlayPedia are gathered across Rigshospitalet from various professional groups, all of whom are in contact with children and young people in their work: nurses, doctors, bio analysts, radiographers and pedagogues. The desire is that children's departments from all over Denmark will help to develop and use PlayPedia.dk
"Globally, the potential link between play and health in a hospital context is still an underexplored area, but we know that there are many good examples of play among children and young people in Danish hospitals. Up until now, we didn't have a shared platform where we could gather and systematise our knowledge. We hope healthcare professionals from all over Denmark will use PlayPedia and contribute with their own examples of how to use play at the hospital. Also, we hope that this platform over time will help Denmark become a frontrunner when it comes to play and health in a hospital context," Elisabeth Ginsberg explains.
Playful Professionalism at Rigshospitalet
To inspire colleagues around the country and internationally, Rigshospitalet has made a short video that shows how the staff use a playful approach:
Facts about PlayPedia: There are currently 55 games on the portal, which are searchable in terms of age, treatment situation and the skills the game promotes.
Facts about the Children's Hospital Copenhagen: The Capital Region of Denmark, Rigshospitalet and Ole Kirk's Foundation have joined forces in a partnership to build a new public hospital that sets new standards for the treatment of children, adolescents, pregnant women and their families. The title of the project is: BørneRiget - Children's Hospital Copenhagen. The new hospital opens for patients in 2025. About the project and vision.

this.myServiceClass.getData(param1, param2)
                   .then(res => {
                         this.responseObj = res;
                         this.bindDataToGrid();
                         }

The service getData method returns a Promise where ResponseModel is a View Model class.
The issue is that the statement:
this.responseObj = res;

is throwing an error stating that this is null.
So I set it outside the service call as follows:
let this$ = this;

and used this$ in my Promise.then. it works.
Question is: It is working for my colleague without the reassignment to this$. For me it is not working even though I am using an arrow function in my code.
Any ideas why I need to store a reference to this outside the Promise.then?

Hyphens (-), En Dashes (–), and Em Dashes (—)... again.
We've touched on this before, but a refresher is always a good thing.
When do you use each? It can be confusing, but here is a little info sent to me by my dear friend, Writing Coach EJ Runyon. I've added a little to it for clarity.
When using any of these, there should be NO SPACES before or after the hyphens or dashes.
ON A MAC--Press Shift-Option and the minus key to create an em-dash.
**MS Word automatically converts two hyphens into an em-dash if you type a word before and after.
**You can also add one by selecting INSERT>SYMBOL> and then choosing from the list of symbols.
SO... if you are on a NOTEPAD / TABLET and are using MS Word, you can do the INSERT>SYMBOL> option, too.

Take Criticism and Doubt with a Grain of Salt
By Gino Wickman
If you're an entrepreneur-in-the-making, you have lots of ideas. Those ideas will often be met with criticism and doubt.
In my new book, Entrepreneurial Leap, I teach the eight disciplines to survive the start-up phase of your business when taking your entrepreneurial leap. This message is focused on discipline #7: Taking Criticism and Doubt with a Grain of Salt.
Thousands of entrepreneurs who took their leaps had to endure peers, acquaintances, family and friends telling them they were making a mistake. When I presented my idea for EOS Worldwide to a group of entrepreneurs who were friends and peers, all but one told me I was crazy and that it wouldn't work. Thirty-one publishers turned down my first book, Traction, because "there was nothing new here" and "it wouldn't sell." It has sold almost a million copies at the time of this writing (I still have those rejection letters).
Keep Pushing Forward
You'll be faced with the same negative feedback. You have to take it with a grain of salt and keep pushing forward. They are just opinions, and you will learn everyone has an opinion. If you take and apply everyone's advice, you will twist yourself into a knot.
Someone once shared with me the story of a very successful entrepreneur who would frequently assemble a board of ten "smart people" whose opinions, he led them to believe, he valued. He met with this board on multiple occasions and presented his ideas to them. When seven out of the ten hated the idea, he knew it was a money maker. When ten out of ten hated it, he knew it was revolutionary.
Your job as a future entrepreneur is to take the many ideas, opinions and feedback from others, and then run them through your own personal filter. You must factor in your vision, your plan, your core values, and your stage of growth, and then make a decision. Some will be great insights, but most won't fit within your filter.
Take a few minutes right now and think about how people have reacted to your ideas in the past. What can you learn from those experiences, and how can you apply that learning to how you will react to their opinions in the future?
How to Find an Entrepreneurial Mentor

Q: Formatting from Mysql Database into iPhone App I have created a back end for a website, with different url paramters you can get infos/text out of a mysql database. An iPhone App grabs this text but unfortunately it isn't wwll formatted (line breaks are missing, etc.).
How can I achieve a better formatting?
iPhone app uses NSISOLatin1StringEncoding
In the photo, in the section "Artists" there is no line break. So should I replace  with \n for the iPhone?

A: It's probably not the best idea to use pre-formatted plain text, especially in a mobile application, but if your app displays text as HTML, you can try something like that:
$text = "Your\nText\nWith\nLinebreaks";
// transform your text with a simple function or a more sophisticated regular expression
echo nl2br($text);

That will output:
YourTextWithLinebreaks
However that might be irrelevant if your app presentation is not HTML-based, so please provide more details if so.

A: How do you pass the text into your app? Via xml? Try encapsulating the text into CData.

Emigrate and Immigrate
Our most common search themes:
What is the difference between emigrate and immigrate?
Emigrate means to leave one country and settle in another.
(Emigrate focuses on the point of departure.)
Immigrate means to enter a new country with the purpose of staying there.
(Immigrate focuses on the point of arrival.)
To emigrate and to immigrate are similar in meaning, but there is a difference. To emigrate focuses on the point of departure, while to immigrate focuses on the point of arrival. For example:
I emigrated to England in the 1990s.
("I left my homeland in the 1990s.")
I immigrated to England in the 1990s.
("I've been living in England since the 1990s.")
The verb to emigrate focuses on leaving your home country to move permanently to another.
People say there's no quality of life in Russia, and everyone wants to emigrate.
Very few inhabitants emigrate from this province, where the birth-rate considerably exceeds the death-rate.
It is foolish to claim, as some do, that emigration into space offers a long-term escape from Earth's problems. Nowhere in our solar system offers an environment even as clement as the Antarctic or the top of Everest. (Martin Rees)
(Emigration is the noun from the verb to emigrate.)
The verb to immigrate means to move to a new country with the purpose of settling there. Immigrate focuses on entering the new country.
New Zealanders who immigrate to Australia raise the IQ of both countries. (Robert Muldoon)
Immigration is one of the leading contributors to population growth. (Paul Watson)
(Immigration is the noun from the verb to immigrate.)
Remember Emigrate and Immigrate
With emigrate think exit or export.
With immigrate think in or import.
Emigrate and Immigrate Are Often Interchangeable
The words emigrate and immigrate are often interchangeable. For example:
Sarah emigrated to England from Australia.
(This focuses on Sarah leaving Australia.)
Sarah immigrated to England from Australia.
(This focuses on Sarah arriving in England and, without further context, suggests the speaker is located in England.)

Private equity firm acquires Mlinar
Source: Mlinar
By Anna Wiber
ZAGREB, CROATIA — Private equity firm Mid Europa Partners (MEP) has acquired a majority stake in Mlinar, a Croatian retail and wholesale bakery. The company's founder Mato Škojo will retain a stake in the business.
Mlinar produces pastries, bread, sandwiches, salads and beverages. One of the largest retail bakery networks in Southeast Europe, the business operates 220 stores in locations such as Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary while also serving hotels and restaurants.
MEP has worked with a variety of food retailers in the past. It hopes to leverage this experience and help Mlinar grow in new regions.
The firm said the bakery will benefit from its work with Polish c-store chain Zabka and Rpmanian supermarket chain Profi, where it accelerated expansion for both companies. In addition to developing the company's retail operations, MEP will focus on building brand equity, increasing product development and capitalizing on synergies between Mlinar and the firm's other food companies.

Written in an Anglo-Saxon scriptorium on the Continent, probably in Germany, but hardly at Würzburg, though the manuscript may have reached this centre by the ninth century if the probatio pennae may be taken as a guide. Belonged to the Würzburg Cathedral Library; cf. the shelf-marks 'LVII' and '148'.
Origenes-Rufinus, Homiliae in Numeros (1–28).
Script, by various hands, is partly a rather crude Anglo-Saxon majuscule verging on minuscule, partly Anglo-Saxon minuscule unlike the types found in other Würzburg manuscripts; in the majuscule part n is regularly minuscule, r mostly minuscule; y has various forms, including the one with both branches curving to the right; z thrusts boldly below the line; in the minuscule part g resembles an elongated 3; the ci ligature is a closed oval with a tail. A charter hand saec. IX entered a letter address mentioning Cristianus on fol. 30; the familiar probatio pennae 'omnium ini[mi]corum' etc., saec. IX, found in other Würzburg manuscripts, is seen on fol. 90v.

Q: For each press of spacebar, pass keystroke to app and increment input counter I would like for each time user press spacebar, for the script to pass keystroke space to a browser (Firefox) to play a game while counting the number of times spacebar was hit.
How do you do that with AppleScript?

A: Not with AppleScript, but with Whatpulse. You can see exactly how many times you hit spacebar. When you denote what the amount before you play the game, and check what it is afterward, you have the amount of spacebar hits. And its fun to keep track of your statistics!

LA Paris LA
It was an 11,000-mile journey that took a lifetime.
I'm a seeker. Always have been. My resolve to seek Meaning and Truth was crystal clear from a very young age, although deciding how Meaning and Truth would show up through my work in the world was anything but clear. For four decades, my life had been a painful study in trial, error, and scattershot careers. I'd been a CPA, a standup comic, a massage therapist, a soap opera actor. Then there was that seedy gay bar I managed in downtown Manhattan in the early '90's.
Like a Pollack painting, my life's canvas was vast and messy at first glance but was also guided by an intelligent intuition. Such was the paradox of my restless spirit:
An outer reality screaming "Aimless Dilettante" and an inner reality whispering "Resolute Seeker."
Edging towards 40, I migrated from NYC to Los Angeles to mend a broken heart, win an Oscar, and upgrade my status from "seeker" to "finder." I've long believed that the future comes to live in LA. As a futurist and an evolution junkie, my future and I were ready.
Soon after arrival, I took my first yoga class. It shines as a seminal moment in my life because while my spirituality ran deep, it was also shapeless and inarticulate. Its restlessness was born of homelessness. There, on my rented yoga mat in Santa Monica, spirit found expression and a home. Yoga became the fertile landing pad where the seeds of my spirit could take root, find potency, and thrive. I was all in.
For the next decade, I dove passionately and with a voracious appetite into all-things-yoga. I took full advantage of a city where some of the best teachers in the world were at my fingertips for only $18 a shot.
It was better than an Oscar. Here, in L.A., I became a teacher. Here, in L.A., I became the man I was meant to be in the world.
If L.A. is where the future comes to live, France is where Tradition nobly resides.
My restless spirit was rearing its familiar head in response to complacency.
I turned to my Bucket List where "Move to Paris" held an exalted slot.
Approaching 50, I wondered if uprooting so dramatically was a foolhardy midlife crisis decision or if my inner compass was clearing its voice and making itself heard.
I listened. I waited. I packed my bags. I spent the next five years on the Left Bank.
Paris has a heft and a gravitas that is in direct contrast to easy-breezy Los Angeles. Her beauty is intoxicating and seductive, but it was not love at first sight.
I languished for the first few years, weary from the dense bureaucracy and what I perceived as a casual negativity that permeated most aspects of life.
We had to earn each other's love, and what ultimately transpired was one of the most profoundly fiery and exhilarating love affairs of my life.
She taught me exactly what I needed to learn: patience and perseverance.
I taught her of hope, possibility, and the value of holding simultaneous space for both tradition and evolution.
We tamed each other. We learned to love each other.
When it was time to bid each other adieu, nearly 100 students assembled, and we collectively cried in gratitude for mutual lessons learned.
And because crossing any item off a bucket list is a monumental achievement.
And so my evolutionary trajectory brings me full circle to L.A.
In 2006, I was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition that required immediate surgery. It was during that dark hour that I was introduced to Dr. Parla Jayagopal, an Ayurveda doctor who lovingly bathed me in oil, recited mantra, and ignited my passion for this most sacred healing modality. Over the years, Dr. Jay-ji has repeatedly extended an invitation to formally study Ayurveda with him. I don't take such invitations lightly. The time is now, and this appointment with destiny must be honored.
The practitioner program begins in a few weeks, and I am giddy as a schoolboy as I sharpen my pencils.
With these pencils I will learn an ancient tradition.
With these pencils I continue to reconcile and refine Swadharma and Dharma.
Just weeks ago I was unpacking my boxes in my new home here in L.A. and found a CD recording of a session with a psychic I had visited just days prior to moving to Paris. I was eager to assess the accuracy of her predictions, so I listened.
I remember her peeling off the first tarot card.
"I see people from different countries sitting around you. Are you planning a trip?"
"Yes," I replied. "I'm moving to Paris next week."
"I'm not exactly sure," I said.
"You know, when you have an unexplained impulse to move far away, it means the love of your life is calling for you."
Ah, well, she got it half right, I mused. A husband never materialized in Paris.
And then something occurred to me.
She never specified that the "love of my life" was a person.
What if the "love of my life" that was beckoning from afar was not a person after all but, quite literally, The Love of My LIFE?
What if the love of my life is the tender voice of my restless spirit, ever nudging my seeker soul to co-create with evolution?
I listen. I wait. I grab a brush and add another stroke to my beautiful, messy, canvas.

love back at you my Paris Partner

Projection mapping – Beyond the Clubcarl2020-12-01T19:49:12+01:00
Beyond The Club –
DAVE Festival
desaxismundi
Conception, development and organization of a projection mapping
Connecting music, architecture and visuals
In the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, we realized a series of large-scale projection mappings in church rooms for the Dresden Audio Visual Experience Festival. The three events took place in the Kreuzkirche and the Martin-Luther-Kirche and were the conclusion and highlight of the one-week festival. Under the slogan "Beyond the Club", the three spheres of architecture, music and visuals were conceptually linked. The aim was to present the club culture with its moods, emotions and special characteristics in a new and unusual context.
In harmony with the architecture
Each church building functioned as an impressive stage for audiovisual performances. The walls and vaults of the buildings constructed in the 19th century received a lively character through the visuals and became part of the staging.
The role of music
The acoustics of these sacred rooms gave the music a special meditative effect. Sounds of all frequencies set the room vibrating and emotionalized the overall experience for the visitors. The reverberation and the delay times created a special spatial effect.The visuals we brought into line with this were the narrative of the event.
Impressive visuals
The projection mapping was the connecting element between architecture and music. In the live visuals, space and sound were brought together to form a unity. They reflected the individual frequency ranges of the music. The mapping, which was exactly adapted to the spectator's perspective, produced an impressive immersive visual effect.
The organization and technology behind it
Intolight planned and supervised the technical implementation of the event. Production in public spaces requires efficient logistics and dynamic organization. In the run-up to the event, the rooms were measured by us, reconstructed as 3D models and we put together a suitable technical setup. The visuals were created by us in real time with VVVV. We developed a special mapping software to quickly adapt the projection to the complex architectural forms on site. The frequencies of the live music were analyzed (FFT analysis) and used as parameters for the generative visuals. This made it possible for us to react to changes in the musicians' playing in real time.
