HHS Share /It takes – more than – a village to care for children with serious health conditions
October 13, 2020 is the first annual National Hospice Palliative Care Day for Children, co-presented by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association and the Canadian Network of Palliative Care for Children.
It takes – more than – a village to care for children with serious health conditions
When Abigail (Abby) Brennan was one month old, she began to experience seizures. She was transferred from her local hospital to the pediatric intensive care unit at McMaster Children's Hospital (MCH). As it became clear that her seizures were a symptom of a much larger problem, Abby and her family were introduced to the Quality of Life and Advanced Care program – QoLA (pronounced like koala) Care, for short – the pediatric palliative care program at MCH.
Dr. Dave Lysecki, lead of the Quality of Life and Advanced Care Program
"In the face of serious illness, the goal of palliative care is to ensure that children and their families have every opportunity to make each day the best day it can be," says Dr. Dave Lysecki, head of the QoLA Care program.
By the end of her intensive care admission, it was expected that Abby would only have a few days left, and the focus became getting her home, ensuring her comfort, and supporting her family. Days turned to weeks, weeks into months, and months into years.
Abby's medical challenges remain very complex. They impact her quality of life and ultimately, will lead to a shortened life. However, through robust partnerships between her family, QoLA Care, and many teams in the hospital and community, Abby perseveres.
"If it takes a village to raise a child into an adult, it takes more than a village to support a child who will never have that opportunity," says Lysecki.
The Brennan family, Jason, Jessica, Emily and Abby, are being cared for by the Quality of Life and Advanced Care Planning team at McMaster Children's Hospital.
National Hospice Palliative Care Day for Children
October 13, 2020 is the first annual National Hospice Palliative Care Day for Children, co-presented by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association and the Canadian Network of Palliative Care for Children. At the same time, McMaster Children's Hospital is celebrating the 5-year anniversary of the QoLA Care program.
The MCH program has cared for about 350 children with serious health conditions and their families, including supporting over 100 families through the death of their child — and sometimes multiple children.
"It's difficult to think about children needing palliative care," says Lysecki, "but it's happening. Here. In our communities. Every day. Whether or not you think about it."
Compassion and empathy
The goal of hospice palliative care is to ease the burden of physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual or existential suffering that comes along with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions.
This includes prevention and treatment of pain and suffering, coordinated care across settings, and supporting patients and families through difficult decisions.
Abby and older sister Emily
For Abby's family, the honesty and empathy provided by the QoLA Care team made an essential difference to their well-being.
"Dave told us, with as much compassion as empathy as possible, that Abby's little body was struggling and they didn't think she was going to make it," says Jason Brennan, Abby's father. "At the time we were devastated, but over time I have grown to appreciate that the best thing you can do is be honest, open and direct. It's a skill that Dr. Dave has and we appreciate."
Children's palliative care is family-centered.
"The role the QoLA Care team plays is important to not only Abby's care but also to our mental health," says Brennan. "They also have to be therapists. They have to tell us the worst and then they have to help us rationalize our way through it. They are very good listeners and are excellent at making you feel heard."
With families every step of the way
Aubree Pegg passed away at ten months old.
Palliative care from McMaster Children's Hospital supported life and death for Aubree Pegg's family as well.
Aubree was transferred to MCH's neonatal intensive care unit shortly after she was born. She had a genetic condition that impairs the development of the body and is known to lead to a shortened lifespan. Aubree received care from many teams and across many environments. QoLA Care provided continuity along that journey.
Each time Aubree's family came to the emergency department, they were met by members of QoLA Care for support. When they were at home, they had access to 24/7 on-call support from the team.
The team helped the family create an advance care plan to outline their goals and wishes for treatment. This way, they didn't have to answer the same questions each time they visited the emergency department. The team also provided a symptom management plan for the family to ensure that no matter where Aubree was, she would get the comfort treatments she needed.
Sadly, Aubree passed away at ten months old.
QoLA Care helped ease Aubree's pain during her last days, and later helped with funeral arrangements and scheduled follow-up bereavement visits. Hospital child-life specialists were able to support Aubree's brother Caleb through the sibling support program.
"We're so appreciative not only of them taking care of Aubree but taking care of us, too," says Aubree's mother Lisa Pegg. "They told us they'd be with us every step of the way, which they were. They have no idea how much they mean to us."
Days or decades: A lifetime of hospice palliative care
For children's hospice palliative care, the needs may begin before birth (in the case of a prenatal diagnosis) and persist until after death (through grief and bereavement). In fact, many children live their whole lives with palliative care needs. For some that is days, for others, it's decades.
"In short lives, there is great tragedy but also great beauty," says Lysecki. "There is deep sorrow and unbridled joy. There is fear and hope. There is fragility and strength. One of our guiding principles is that the length of life does not determine the meaning of life."
Lysecki says one of the main pieces missing to deliver this care most effectively is a children's hospice. That's why MCH is exploring opportunities for a children's hospice in Hamilton.
"There is an identified need in Hamilton for a pediatric hospice facility, such as those in Vancouver, Calgary, Milton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec," he says. "Integrated pediatric hospices complement hospital, community, and home care by offering vital services such as respite admissions, day programming, a warm, home-like setting for end-of-life care, as well as family support groups and formal grief and bereavement programming.

Lunch Pail Foundation donation
LPD Foundation founder Bud Foster (from left), brother Tyler Smith of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, "The Clubhouse" host Danny Nokes and manager JJ of Sharkey's Blacksburg hold the check from the "Pack the Pail" event.
Representatives of local sports radio show "The Clubhouse with Danny Nokes" (WWBU-FM Super Sports 101.7), Sharkey's restaurant in Blacksburg, and the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta were proud to present a check for the proceeds of their inaugural "Pack the Pail" fundraiser, benefiting the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation, to Virginia Tech Defensive Coordinator Bud Foster.
The non-profit LPD Foundation, which was founded by Foster, funds college scholarships for local New River and Roanoke Valley high school students and assists the families of those awaiting organ transplants.
The "Pack the Pail" event was successful in raising $750 in just under five hours. Donations were made in the form of a percentage of food sales.
Participating Virginia Tech Greek organizations included fraternities Phi Gamma Delta, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Chi, and sororities Alpha Phi and Delta Gamma.
Phi Gamma Delta was successful in raising the most money at the event, earning the right to present the total funds raised by all organizations to Coach Foster.
Philanthropy chair Tyler Smith represented the Virginia Tech fraternity at the check presentation to Coach Foster.
"I've been fortunate to have the financial ability to come to a school like Virginia Tech and not worry about college tuition," said Smith. "I've also been fortunate to have great health, another thing the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation helps with. I'm glad I was able to help those people out."
To date, the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation has awarded 23 scholarships of varying dollar amounts for a total of $67,500 to students from eleven different high schools in the New River and Roanoke Valley areas.
In addition, it has also donated approximately $50,000 to its "Organ Transplant Family Support Program" which helps cover a variety of costs incurred by families of organ transplant patients, including long term lodging, transportation, meals, and child care.

My name is Sue, and I live in north Texas. I'm in the middle of the pack as far as the baby boom years go. Aging is here to stay, but I'm still too young for some Senior discounts.
Sometimes opportunities are blessings and sometimes they are disappointments. I found myself on the disappointment side of opportunity when my spouse's job moved us to a small town in a different state. I tried for months to find a job in my field. I worked some fill-in jobs. I was miserable and disappointed and just sad about how things had worked out for me. I am now reluctantly retired but still a few years away from Social Security.
What to do? Obviously, start a blog. So, here it is. My blog is about money, food, learning, politics, and other interesting things I find along the way.
Hi Sue! I clicked the follow button– I am into just about all the categories you have listed–especially the cooking for 2 and DIY formulas.. and fugal solutions… and gardening…and crafts and really just about all your categories (except politics — I didn't even look there–I fight that fight every morning over coffee with my other-side-of-the-aisle husband). So thank you!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you found things useful.

10+ Shocking Animal Abuse Statistics
Animal abuse statistics show that animals are, unfortunately, subject to everyday assault. Many cases never make it to court, so animals continue to suffer, and abusers get away with torture, often even with murder.
Abused animals show recognizable signs of neglect, such as poor body condition, lack of sanitation, food, or water. Sometimes they may be tied or even caged in poor surroundings.
To recognize and stop animal abuse, familiarize yourself with the animal cruelty laws, gather evidence and report the abuse. Remember not to endanger yourself to obtain the evidence.
The sad truth is that in the US, over 10 million animals die because of abuse every year. Below, you will find more alarming statistics on animal abuse.
Heartbreaking Animal Abuse Facts (Editor's Choice)
65% of all abused or killed animals in the US are dogs
Each minute, an animal becomes a victim of abuse
95% of the lab animals in the US aren't included in the Animal Welfare Act
Animal cruelty statistics reveal that over 100 million animals in the US participate in lab experiments every year
75% of the elephants that are part of the entertainment business live in poor conditions
Over 6.5 million animals end up in shelters in the US every year
92% of the horses sent for slaughter in the US were in good health
97% of the animal abuse cases happen on farms
General Statistics of Animal Abuse
Since 2019, animal abuse is punishable by the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (PACT). Violating it could result in up to seven years of imprisonment. Animal rights activists hope that the animal cruelty numbers will decline due to that law, and many existing cases will receive justice.
Let's take a look at some detailed animal abuse statistics.
1. Dogs represent nearly 65% of all documented abuse cases.
(Fabiosa)
Approximately 40% of US families have at least one dog as a pet. Dog abuse statistics show that due to their popularity, dogs end up among the most abused animals — often tied or caged, left to starve and die.
2. The RSPCA UK receives an animal abuse report every 30 seconds.
(LAD Bible)
Among the disturbing facts about animal cruelty in the UK is the constant rise in animal cruelty hotline calls — over 1 million yearly.
The RSPCA encourages sharing on social media platforms to increase awareness of the practice of animal abuse reporting.
3. According to facts about animal abuse, 6.5 million animals are brought to shelters every year.
(ASPCA)
Every year, the animal shelters in the US accept nearly 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats, most of which suffered poor health, malnourishment, and other types of animal abuse.
Animals that don't find a home within a year are euthanized — 1.5 million each year.
4. Nearly 75% of reptiles don't survive a year of domestication.
(Business Standard)
Animal neglect stats reveal that reptiles and amphibians often show signs of distress that their owners miss. They require special care and diet, and in most cases, the new owners aren't aware of the difficulties and don't prepare adequately.
5. Stats on animal abuse expose that over 75% of elephants that are part of entertainment programs live in severe conditions.
(BBC)
The entertainment industry separates baby elephants away from their mothers at a very young age to tame and teach them tricks. Sadly, animal abuse facts reveal that many of the elephants face beating and abuse during the rough training.
Among the animal abuse in circuses facts is that elephants spend their off-stage time chained or locked in small cages in miserable living conditions.
Why Do People Abuse Animals?
There are many types of animal abuse — from neglect to beating, burning, and shooting. Other signs of abuse may be unusual and untreated wounds on their bodies, broken extremities, lack of proper meals or shelter, and many more.
Based on the animal abuse cases, intentional cruelty is a sign of psychological distress and may indicate that the aggressor, too, has experienced abuse. Feelings of powerlessness, neglect, and pressure are among the many reasons causing animal abuse acts.
Here are some more animal abuse and neglect facts.
6. 52% of US adults oppose testing and experimenting on animals.
(Pew Research Center)
Scientists and researchers perform medical studies, product testing and teaching on over 100 million animals yearly. Sadly, the Animal Welfare Act doesn't protect 95% of these animals. Despite the animal cruelty facts, scientists argue that lab testing is crucial for developing treatments for various diseases.
7. Stats on animal abuse estimate that organized dogfighting is responsible for over 16,000 deaths every year.
(Love to Know)
Organized dogfighting, which dates back to Roman times, is a big problem, especially in the US and gathering such animal abuse information and facts is complicated due to the secrecy of the events.
Even though in 2008, the Animal Welfare Act proclaimed dogfighting a felony in all states, it is still a common and deadly practice.
8. Children who have suffered physical abuse are twice more likely to abuse animals, as shown by animal cruelty facts and stats.
(MedCrave)
Young children are very impressionable, and if they witness or experience abuse, they are inclined to repeat it. Animal abuse facts for kids show that often, abused children use their pets as scapegoats for their anger and repressed emotions.
9. Denmark slaughtered nearly 17 million minks due to Covid-19 concerns.
Due to fears of theCovid-19 mutation found in minks, Danish authorities took a rushed and ill-advised decision to cull all mink. Denmark is home to more than a thousand fur farms — so that scare led to the death of millions of minks.
10. According to animal welfare statistics, broiler chickens spend 20% of their lives in chronic pain.
(The Humane Society)
The market demand for cheaper meat has led to broiler chickens living in pain due to their enormous and unnatural weight. They are locked in small cages, with many other chickens, and in poor conditions to optimize the production.
That is not the only case of animal mistreatment on farms — 92% of the horses sent for slaughter for consumption were in good health and could have led a healthy life.
11. Seaworld animal abuse facts show that two sharks died in the theme park three days after their capture and display.
(SeaWorld of Hurt)
In 1978, SeaWorld in San Antonio captured two adult sharks from the ocean. Only three days later, both sharks ran into a wall, sank and died.
Unfortunately, that isn't the only case of SeaWorld animal negligence and cruelty. Five years later, SeaWorld captured twelve dolphins in Chile, and within six months, half of them had died.
12. According to the latest farm animal abuse statistics, 34,000 newly-hatched male chicks die every hour in the US.
(Animal Equality)
The US has the second-largest egg-producing industry in the world. Sadly enough, the industry considers male chicks useless, and over 300 million of them face extremely cruel deaths yearly. The techniques include gassing, suffocation, or electrocution.
Statistics about animal abuse show that 97% of assault cases happen on farms.
How to Stop Animal Abuse? — Concluding Thoughts
Animal abuse data reveals the horrific mistreatment animals face every day, and it is up to us to speak up for those without a voice. Be aware of the signs of animal cruelty and where you can report such cases.
If you know or suspect someone is abusive towards animals, don't be afraid to take action. Make sure you aren't endangering yourself by confronting them, and instead report them to the local law enforcement or animal control agencies.
When reporting cruelty, write a detailed statement of your observations — date, time, names, contact information, and ideally, photo evidence of the act.
What is the percentage of animal abuse?
Over 10 million animals die of abuse every year in the US, and 97% of these cases happen on farms. Roughly, one animal suffers abuse every minute.
How many dogs get abused on average every year?
Dog mistreatment represents 65% of cases of abuse. US shelters report an average intake of 3.3 million dogs every year, half of which show signs of abuse.
Where is animal abuse most common?
Asia has the most cases of abused animals and has very few laws on animal protection. Due to that, regulations in Asia are a priority to animal rights activists.
The Chinese have a well-developed bile farming industry that requires bear gallbladders for traditional medicine. Most captured bears spend the rest of their lives in captivity.
Every year in Southeast Asia, nearly 10 million dogs and cats end up slaughtered for their meat.
How many animals are abused each year?
Unlike abuse against people, animal abuse can't be registered adequately, but official animal abuse statistics estimate over 10 million cases every year in the US.
How many animals are abused every day?
Over 200 million animals are slaughtered for the food industry every day. Adding wild-caught and farmed fish, that number goes up to 3 billion. Many of them have suffered live in miserable conditions, lack of enough space and cruelty.
How many animals are abused per minute?
Every minute, somewhere in the world, an animal suffers abuse. What's worse, many countries don't have any laws to protect animals.
Animal abuse statistics reveal that many of the cases don't make it to court. So, if you ever witness animal abuse, make sure to report it.

Tore Svennberg
Title: Tore Svennberg
Subject: February 28, May 8
Olof Teodor Svennberg
(1858-02-28)28 February 1858
8 May 1941(1941-05-08) (aged 83)
Olof Teodor "Tore" Svennberg (28 February 1858 – 8 May 1941)[1] was a Swedish actor and theatre director whose career spanned more than five decades.
2 Selected filmography
Born in Stockholm, Tore Svennberg made his stage debut at the Folkan Theatre in his hometown in 1877.[2] From 1878 to 1891 he was engaged with various national touring theatre companies with actress Julia Håkansson and was from time to time cast by Swedish stage director Albert Ranft.[3] At the Swedish Theatre, he played in several August Strindberg dramas: Gustav Vasa, starred in Erik XIV in 1899, A Dream Play in 1907 and The Dance of Death in 1919. He also appeared in many roles by Henrik Ibsen: as Helmer in A Doll's House in 1889, as Hjalmar Ekdahl in Hedda Gabler in 1891 and as Borkman in John Gabriel Borkman in 1897.[4]
In 1920 Svennberg was engaged at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theatre, where he later became director from 1922 to 1928. He managed to attract audiences by focusing on classics and foreign plays.
Svennberg also appeared in a number of films, beginning in the Victor Sjöström-directed 1919 drama Sons of Ingmar, based on the novel Jerusalem by Selma Lagerlöf, and performed in his last film role at the age of 82 in Per Lindberg's 1940 drama Stål. He is possibly best recalled internationally for his role in the 1938 film A Woman's Face opposite actress Ingrid Bergman.

(NaturalNews) Anxiety and insomnia are health concerns which may appear together and are often also linked to depression. These three health issues have a significant impact on people's lives and on our national health care economy. Within any 12 month period, 18% of adults suffer from anxiety, while nearly 29% will do so at some time during their life. Similarly, as much as 30% of the population may suffer from some form of insomnia, including a high percentage of those individuals diagnosed as depressed. Annual economic costs are significant and range from estimates of $15 billion for medical care to as much as $150 billion in lost productivity. While medical interventions are common, there are a variety of natural solutions including chamomile, a common herb which is inexpensive and readily available with minimal side effects.
While traditional healers have long recommended chamomile for anxiety, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania were some of the first to examine this relationship scientifically. In a 2009 study, the authors compared scores from standardized tests designed to measure generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. Over a period of eight weeks, one group received a placebo while the other took pharmaceutical grade chamomile capsules. Subjects were then tested to measure changes in symptoms of anxiety during this time. Those who took chamomile enjoyed a reduction in anxiety symptoms and the changes were termed "clinically meaningful and statistically significant."
Most of us are familiar with chamomile as a soothing tea that promotes relaxation and feelings of drowsiness at bedtime; its effectiveness is possibly due to its mild sedative action. While researchers have not confirmed a link between chamomile and sleep in humans, there are animal studies which do support a relationship. For example, a Japanese study using sleep-disturbed rats found chamomile worked as well as a tranquilizer in helping them fall asleep. Chamomile also has anti-inflammatory properties and may promote sleep by helping to reduce swelling caused by inflammation associated with allergies.
In an article about depression and insomnia which appeared in the Journal of Affective Disorders, the authors concluded that if you are diagnosed with insomnia your risk of also being diagnosed with depression in the next one to three years is very high. Of course anxiety is also strongly associated with depression. As many as 85% of depressed individuals were found to be anxious according to a study reported at the consumer mental health site, Healthyplace.com. The frequency of anxiety and insomnia during depression suggests that chamomile may be helpful for alleviating some of its symptoms as well.
Unlike some supplements which are only effective for a few hours, chamomile seems to stay in your system for a relatively long time. A 2005 study reported in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry evaluated the urine of volunteers who drank chamomile tea daily for two weeks. They found elevated levels of hippurate, an anti-inflammatory, and glycine, which helps soothe muscle spasms. Two weeks after the volunteers stopped drinking chamomile, levels of these elements were still measurable.
Chamomile is readily available in capsule form and as a tea in most grocery and health food stores. However, proceed with caution if ragweed causes you to sniffle and sneeze. Chamomile is in the same family and could cause a similar allergic reaction.

Tyrese Maxey with UK coach John Calipari.
As expected, Texas five-star junior guard Tyrese Maxey verbally committed to Kentucky today and then indicated despite what some had been saying about him reclassifying that he would stay in the 2019 recruiting class. He said he told UK coach John Calipari about a week ago that he would not join the 2018 recruiting class.
The 6-3 Maxey is rated among the nation's top 15 players in the 2019 recruiting class.
Kentucky also has a 2019 commitment from forward D.J. Jeffries of Mississippi and Maxey said he would do all he could to convince forward James Wiseman of Memphis, the top player in the 2019 class, to also pick UK over Memphis.
Wiseman has indicated he would like to play with Hagans and Maxey — along with Jeffries.
Maxey is explosive going to the basket but is also a terrific 3-point shooter. Like Hagans, he's also a physical player who is already a solid defender.
"One thing that I feel like I will help a lot with is my leadership," Maxey told recruiting analyst Evan Daniels of 247Sports and FoxSports. "I feel like I'm very vocal and will probably be coming in with a young team because that's just how coach Cal does it, so I feel like he's going to need leadership.
Glad to get him, even more glad for him to stay in 2019. This may help get Wiseman.

Q: Drawing graphs with two y-axis I am trying the following graph using tikzpicture. The graph is a bit complex with two y-axis and a single x-axis. I dont know how to add co-ordinates to draw the two graphs.

This is the code I have written.
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
    xlabel={Voltage (V)},
    ylabel={Current (A)},
    xmin=0, xmax=1.5,
    ymin=0, ymax=1.2,
    grid=both,
    grid style={line width=.1pt, draw=gray!10},
    legend pos=south east,
    ]
\addplot[color=red,mark=none]
    coordinates {(0,0) (0.5,0.8) (1,0.9) (1.5,0.8)};
\end{axis}

\begin{axis}[
    xlabel={Voltage (V)},
    ylabel={Power (W)},
    %xmin=0, xmax=1.5,
    ymin=0, ymax=0.5,
    grid=both,
    grid style={line width=.1pt, draw=gray!10},
    axis y line*=right,
    axis x line=none,

A: You can use smooth option of addplot to make you graph much nicer. If you would like to remove both ticks an labels use \pgfplotsset{ticks=none}. If only tick labels, add xticklabels={,,} and yticklabels={,,} to the options for the axis environment.

The Amigo Bug Rug is a soft, lightweight and breathable fly sheet that protects your horse from all biting insects, UV rays and dirt. This fly sheet will keep your horse cool, comfortable and protected in the most brutal summer conditions. The removable neck attachment and tail flap take fly protection to a whole new level.
In addition to insect protection, fly sheets can also protect horses from sun damage! Horses with pink skin that sunburns easily and dark horses with coats that fade easily can both benefit, just make sure to check that your horse isn't overheating when using.


Basis is the starting point for determining the tax consequences in any transaction. In most cases the taxpayers ìbasisî is the original cost of the property. For an example, Investor A purchases a strip center for $1,000,000. This would make Investor Aís original basis $1,000,000.
At the time of selling the property and Taxpayer A is considering an exchange, Taxpayer A must understand his/hers specific tax consequences when selling. To establish the ìadjusted basisî of the soon to be relinquished property, Taxpayer A takes the original basis (cost of the property) and adds the cost of any capital improvements made to the property while Taxpayer A owned the property and subtract any depreciation taken.
Realized gain is the difference between the total consideration (Cash and Anything else of value) received for a property and the adjusted basis. Keep in mind transaction costs are deducted from the realized gain.
Recognized gain is that portion of the ìrealized gainî which is taxable.
Is the tax deferred by carrying over the taxpayerís adjusted basis in the relinquished property.

This past week I was at the annual Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS) D&O Symposium at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, New York. The weather on the Tuesday arrival day was unusually clement for early February in New York, and even though rain moved in on Wednesday evening, the good vibe on arrival day seemed to carry through the conference.
On Thursday morning it was my honor and privilege to moderate a panel on the topic of the U.S. Supreme Court and its impact on D&O liability and insurance. The panel featured a distinguished line-up of speakers, including Doug Greene of the Baker & Hostetler law firm; Tammy Yuen of the Skarzynski Black law firm; Beth Goldberg of Starr Insurance; and John Favella of Berkley Professional Liability. It was a lively and interesting panel session and it was a pleasure to be a part of it.
At the conference, I saw many old friends and made some new friends, as well. One of the conference attendees — the person who may have traveled the furthest in order to attend– was my good friend, Jeremy Scott-Mackenzie, of Swiss Re, in Sydney, Australia. Jeremy participated in the conference as a panelist. In addition to being a seasoned veteran of the Australian D&O marketplace, Jeremy is also the President of the Australian Professional Indemnity Group (APIG), the Australian equivalent of PLUS. It was great to have the chance to introduce Jeremy to Carl Metzger, of the Goodwin Proctor law firm, who is the current President of PLUS, as pictured below.
And speaking of conference attendees who traveled a long way to attend the conference, the list of attendees also included my friends Peter Schlamberger and Vanja Nadai, both of Polaris Underwriting. Peter is based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Vanja is based on Zagreb, Croatia. As it if were not already obvious from the distance that some of the conference participants travelled in order to attend, it is worth pointing out that these days D&O is a truly global business.

The development of unconventional gas sources inside and outside North America, the trajectory of gas demand in Asia, and the evolution of oil prices will influence future global LNG supply.
The US started exporting LNG from the Gulf Coast in 2016. Australia will be an exporter on a scale to overtake Qatar. The number of buyers and sellers is expanding. Total LNG production has quadrupled over the last two decades and roughly doubled its market share from 5 percent to 10 percent of natural gas consumed.
By 2020 additional LNG capacity additions totaling 164 billion cubic meters (bcm) will have come into the market, of which 90 percent will come from Australia and the United States. This, combined with slowing demand, has led to a situation of oversupply, which is expected to last until at least 2020.
Global LNG supply competition will be intensifying. Exporters from North America (the US and Canada) aim to export LNG in competition mostly with projects in Africa, Australia, and Russia.
The United States is a "low cost" gas producer. Abundant unconventional gas resources are found across several plays, including the highly	prolific Marcellus	and Utica shales.
US liquefaction companies are well positioned	to compete, with flexible delivery contracts and direct access to European markets along with increased access to Asia via the expansion of the Panama Canal.
US construction costs are comparatively low, especially for brown-field liquefaction projects, i.e., that will convert existing import terminals that have already secured environmental approvals for existing facilities. Additionally, low US energy prices provide a construction cost edge (Boersma, p. 8).
US LNG contracts are flexible, lacking "destination clauses" that limit re-sales. Other suppliers use long-term, oil-based agreements to send gas only to specific nations. Buyers of US LNG have the freedom to ship the fuel to anywhere in the world.
An unprecedented 150 mtpa of LNG export capacity will come online between 2015-2020 and 64 mtpa of it will originate in the United States. There are currently five new LNG projects under construction on the Atlantic and Gulf Coast: Sabine Pass (22.5 mtpa), Freeport LNG (13.2 mtpa), Dominion Cove Point LNG (5.75 mtpa), Cameron LNG (13.5 mtpa), Corpus Christi LNG (9 mtpa). The major concern for all of these projects finding buyers for these volumes.
Unconventional gas development in Canada trails US production, and in some parts of the country gas infrastructure is less developed than in most parts of the United States. It is unlikely that Canada will have a LNG terminal up and running before the end of the decade. Canadian projects are also opposed on a number of environmental and commercial grounds (Boersma et al., p. 15).
Tim Boersma, Charles K. Ebinger & Heather L. Greenley, "An assessment of US LNG exports," Natural gas issue brief #4, Brookings Institution, November 2015.

Del McCoury's bluegrass is still growing and making friends
Wayne Bledsoe
the Knoxville News Sentinel
David Grisman and Del McCoury
Del McCoury has spent a lifetime becoming one of the most beloved bluegrass performers in the business, and he seems to remember it all. Known for his precise rhythm guitar and his classic 'high lonesome' tenor vocals, McCoury is a veteran of Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys and his own band The Dixie Pals. In the 1990s, Del with his sons, Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo), formed the core of the Del McCoury Band, which became one of the best known and most acclaimed bluegrass acts in the world.
Get the now 77-year-old McCoury talking about his history, and the stories come pouring out. For instance, McCoury says his first show with mandolin great David Grisman, with whom he'll perform at Dollywood on Friday, occurred 50 years ago in Troy, N.Y.
'I had quit Bill Monroe and my brother Jerry and David were playing with Red Allen and the Kentuckians,' says McCoury in a call from his home in Nashville. 'One day my brother Jerry said, 'David wondered if you'd go up there and play with us in Troy, N.Y.?' David had booked a show up there. Years later when David got his own label, he put that show out with the name 'Early Dawg.' '
McCoury says that he and Grisman plan on going back to Troy in December to celebrate the anniversary of the event.
McCoury adds, however, that that might not actually be the first time because the two also played an impromptu show at the 1966 Fincastle Bluegrass Festival in Fincastle, Va., with fiddler Billy Baker and bassist Chris Warner.
'David's gonna track down which one was actually first!'
McCoury says the show at Dollywood, billed as The Del and Dawg Bluegrass All-Stars, just sort of came together.
'I played it last year already with my own band,' says McCoury. 'So they booked David this year and they wanted to know if I'd do a couple of songs with him on it. Then he said, 'Well, I've got to have a guitar player for the whole time!' so they just book me along with him there.'
The two have been doing a few shows as just a duo and recently released a double CD of a live concert from Portland, Maine. The show at Dollywood, however, will be McCoury, Grisman, Charlie Cushman on banjo, Stuart Duncan on fiddle and Grisman's son Sam Grisman on bass.
'We're gonna rehearse here at my house tomorrow, because Stuart and Charlie have never done the songs that me and David do, but we may do some new things, too.'
He doesn't know if any songs from his new album, 'Del and Woody,' will find their way into the mix, but it's a project he's proud of. The album features 12 songs in which McCoury wrote music to lyrics of Woody Guthrie songs in which the original music was lost. The highest profile posthumous Guthrie collaboration prior to this was the Wilco and Billy Bragg collaborations released on the 'Mermaid Avenue' albums.
While McCoury never had the chance to play with or meet Woody Guthrie, Nora, one of Guthrie's children, had seen McCoury play at the Newport Folk Festival in the 1960s. It was after The Del McCoury Band played at a Woody Guthrie tribute show in Tulsa, Okla., though, that Nora Guthrie approached Del.
'She said, 'If my father could've afforded a band I think he would've gotten a band like you guys!'
'I didn't realize when Nora asked me to do it that she'd send so many songs! She sent me 26 songs. We recorded 16, but we only put 12 on this record.'
All the lyrics came from Guthrie's writings between 1935 and 1949.
McCoury says there was some pressure knowing that he was collaborating with such a legend.
'I kind of thought twice about it. 'I'm messing with Woody Guthrie. I don't know if I should do this!' '
McCoury says he played all of the songs for Nora Guthrie before he put them on the album and she gave them her approval.
'That's the next best thing to Woody liking it,' he says.
Although McCoury won't actually be performing in Knoxville for his upcoming show, he remembers one of his early shows in the town when he performed with Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys on the ABC television show 'Hootenanny,' which recorded two shows in Knoxville in 1964.
'It was a traveling show and they booked Bill Monroe, (former Knoxville song parodists) Homer and Jethro and Pete Fountain. When Pete Fountain was doing his soundcheck those guys (Homer and Jethro) aggravated him to death!'

School Police Officers on Chopping Block at TCAPS
9and10news Site Staff

Some Traverse City schools may lose its liaison police officer due major budget cuts. Traverse City Area Public Schools is trying to trim more than six million dollars from next year's budget. A budget task force spent the last several months identifying a list of recommendations for the school board to vote on. On the top of the list is more than three million dollars in wage concessions, along with changes in transportation, and increasing class sizes, among others. One of the recommendations: cut the four liaison officers currently stationed in all of the district's secondary schools. Three of the officers work for the county, and one works for the city. TCAPS started paying for half of the officer's salaries about six years ago when the county came forward and said it couldn't afford to fund the position itself. "The liaison officer cut will be a cut that will be recognizable by the students, staff, and the administration," says Jim Leyndyke, Principal of Traverse City Central High School. Leyndyke says the relationships officers develop with the students benefit not only the police department but also the school. That relationship is in jeopardy if the board approves this money saving measure, and if the city and county can't find money to keep the positions going. "I think any cut that we're going to make throughout TCAPS is going to be difficult," says Pam Alfieri, Principal at West Middle School. "I'm going to support any decision that's going to be made." The school board will vote on the recommended cuts during its February 8th meeting. 9&10's Ryan Raiche and Photojournalist Jeremy Erickson have the story.

Vinson Health Center offers free flu shots to students
Landry Russell
Vinson Health Center offers free flu shots to students from MWSU Campus Watch on Vimeo.
After reading over the vaccine fact sheet and signing a consent form, you're taken to the examination room where they will check your temperature. Then you're given the shot.
"A flu shot is your only protection against the flu that we can give medically," says University Physician Keith Williamson. "You always see on late night tv about immune system boosters. This is the real deal. A flu shot will boost your immune system and help protect you against the flu."
The influenza vaccine is an inactivated version of the virus. Side effects of the vaccine can include fever and chills, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, cough, headache, and a runny or stuffy nose.
There are a number of ways for students to prevent getting the flu.
"Good handwashing and social distancing, staying at least six feet away from people if you're coughing, coughing into your elbow and not into your hands, these sort of things will really help prevent the flu," says Williamson.
The vaccine takes two weeks for immunization to build up. After that, it's good for up to a year. Flu shots are free for students at the Vinson Health Center.
Schedule an appointment in person or by phone at 940-397-4231.

Highcross will host a beguiling exhibition of history, science and a rediscovered king as it pays tribute to the University of Leicester team which found Richard III.
Richard III: Discovered was originally spearheaded last year by Dr Turi King from the University of Leicester's Department of Genetics at the Royal Society for its prestigious Summer Science Exhibition.
The showcase includes the complete story of how the lost Last Plantagenet was rediscovered, identified and then reburied at Leicester Cathedral – a global event witnessed by millions of people around the world.
Last June, the exhibition welcomed thousands of people, including physicist Professor Brian Cox, who went along to the Royal Society, in London, to meet the Greyfriars team and discuss the archaeological and scientific processes which led to the astonishing discovery.
Now, the event has been re-launched at Highcross to coincide with the one year anniversary of the king's re-interment at Leicester Cathedral.
It begins on Saturday 19 March and runs until Wednesday 23 March.
On Tuesday 22 March members of the public will be able to meet the team behind the discovery: Dr Richard Buckley, Mathew Morris, Dr Turi King, Dr Jo Appleby and Carl Vivian.
The six day event also includes 3D videos and photos as well as staff and students from the University who will be on hand to explain every aspect of the project to visitors.
Organiser Jim Butler, Head of Corporate Events at the University, said: "The anniversary of the re-interment is the perfect opportunity to share this exhibition with the people of Leicester for the first time.
On Saturday 19 March and Tuesday 22 March, medieval re-enactor, Andy Hyam, will also be at the exhibition wearing plate armour to highlight how Richard III received his numerous battle wounds at Bosworth.
The remains of King Richard III, who ruled England between 1483 and 1485, were laid to rest at Leicester Cathedral on Thursday 26 March, 2015.
The reinterment, which was recognised by the Queen, who sent a personal message which was included in the order of service, was attended by The Countess of Wessex, The Duke of Gloucester and actor Benedict Cumberbatch - as well as a host of other dignitaries and notable figureheads.
It marked the end of an unbelievable journey which began in a Leicester City Council carpark in the summer of 2012.
The best time for interviews/photos would be the morning of Tuesday 22 March (9-12).

I think if ever there was an album in need of remastering, this is it. A faithful rendition of Tubular Bells by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - the problem's not so much the performance as the audio mix. The volume is very dynamic, and in many places where a single instrument is playing it's very quiet and difficult to hear (maybe it's just my hearing going in my old age!). Otherwise, well done!

Q: Split dynamic column into multiple rows using using mv-expand While using mv-expand on a dynamic value column I expect to get separate rows for each value in the column. Ultimately I want to count each separate value using summarize
The dynamic value column can contain one or multiple values of any number between 1 and 300
like [], [1,3],[1,2,10,30]
I tried using the mv-expand reference but I couldn't make it work.
Tablename
| mv-expand categories=CustomDimension['category_id']
Instead of giving separate rows for each value in the column it creates a new column that has the same dynamic value as the original column.

A: You would have to use 'mvexpand' in the query instead of 'mv-expand'. I know this is misleading but if you go to your query page and type 'mv-expand' then it doesn't resolve but it does work if you try 'mvexpand'.
To accomplish your requirement, the answer provided by me in this thread should help you. Also for even more advanced example, you may refer this one as well.
Hope this helps!! Cheers!!
