A tracheostomy helps patients breathe after a traumatic injury or as the result of a medical condition. Common reasons for a tracheostomy are the facilitation of the long-term use of a ventilator, allowing breathing when the airway is obstructed and some neurological conditions. Knowing when to recommend a tracheostomy requires the expertise of the board-certified Otolaryngologist/Head and Neck Surgeons of Suncoast ENT Surgical Specialists. We serve the communities of Tampa, Spring Hill and surrounding towns in Florida.
Perhaps you have seen someone with a tracheostomy, but you may not have understood why the procedure is necessary or how it is performed. A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that involves making a hole in the neck to access the airway, specifically the windpipe. While some people only need a tracheostomy for a short period of time, others need a tracheostomy for the rest of their lives.
A tracheostomy is recommended for a number of reasons. In the most extreme cases — such as a sudden, traumatic injury to your neck — a tracheostomy will be performed to bypass the airway blockage caused by a sudden, traumatic injury. However, any type of blockage to the airway will require a tracheostomy at some point. When a person is on a ventilator (or another type of breathing machine that provides artificial respiration) for an extended period of time, a tracheostomy may be performed to prevent the larynx (voice box) from being damaged due to the pressure that the breathing tube places on the vocal cords for an extended period of time.
When a ventilator is prescribed to a patient for more than two (2) weeks.
When a medical condition, such as throat cancer or vocal cord paralysis, obstructs the airway.
When neurological conditions make it difficult for you to expectorate the secretions from your throat, causing you to manually suction your trachea (windpipe) to clear the airway.
When you're preparing for surgery to your head or neck and require breathing assistance.
When you experience severe trauma to your head, face, or neck that causes airway obstruction.
Whenever there is any type of emergency situation that obstructs your airway, and emergency medical technicians cannot insert a breathing tube into your mouth.
How is a Tracheostomy Performed?
A tracheostomy is most commonly performed under general anesthesia and in an operating room. However, if the surgeon is concerned that the patient will not react well to general anesthesia, or there isn't enough time to get the patient to an operating room (thus causing the procedure to be performed in a regular hospital room), the surgeon may opt for a local anesthetic in its place and stead.
During the procedure, a surgeon makes a horizontal cut through the skin at the bottom of the neck. The surrounding muscles are then pulled back, and a small incision is made into the thyroid gland, which will expose the trachea. Finally, the surgeon looks for a specific spot on this incision — located near the base of your neck — where he will create a hole where the tracheostomy tube will be inserted. Following the completion of this process, a faceplate and a neck tube will be attached to prevent the tracheostomy from slipping out of the hole; if necessary, a few temporary sutures will also be used to keep the faceplate in place on the skin of the neck.
Expect to spend several days in the hospital after you finish getting your tracheostomy. During this time, you can expect that the tracheostomy will heal, and you will learn what you need to do in order to care for, and maintain, your tracheostomy.
You will need to care for your tracheostomy tube at least twice a day. During your stay in the hospital, a nurse will show you the proper way. You will need to do this for as long as you have a tracheostomy tube, in order to prevent infection.
There will, however, be one challenge that you have to consider: speaking. When you get a tracheostomy, the air in your lungs will exit through your tracheostomy hole, rather than up through your larynx. You may be able to speak normally, however, depending on the condition of your voice box, the size and shape of the tracheostomy tube, and the diameter of your trachea. For those that are unable to speak due to the tracheostomy tube, however, there are devices and techniques that will be able to help you redirect your air so that speech is possible. A nurse and/or a speech therapist will work with you to teach you these techniques.
Eating will also prove to be a challenge. For as long as you have your tracheostomy tube, you will be required to obtain your nutrients through an IV or through a feeding tube. You may also receive your nutrients through a tube inserted directly into your stomach. When you have your tracheostomy tube removed, you will be required to meet with a speech therapist to help you redevelop your muscles that will help you swallow again.
Finally, you will have to have a device put on your tracheostomy tube in order to moisturize the air that you will be "breathing". Because the air you breathe will not be "warmed up" or moisturized by the normal breathing process, the air you breathe through the tracheostomy will be much drier. The heat and moisture exchanger will use a saline solution to humidify the air that you breathe. Failure to do this will result in the irritation of the tracheostomy, causing excess mucus to build up, and the tracheostomy to be irritated. In the alternative, a humidivent will be attached to the tracheostomy. This serves the same function as the heat and moisture exchanger, but this will simply capture the moisture from the air you exhale to humidify the air you breathe.
If there are any other issues involved with the tracheostomy, your health care team will work with you to answer any questions you may have.
After your surgery, you will not be able to speak. Talk to your physician and ask him to recommend a speech therapist for you. Do not perform any strenuous activity for six weeks after your surgery. You will be able to properly care for your tracheostomy tube, including how to change your dressing, how to clean the hole, and how to clean, replace, and suction the tracheostomy tube, before you ultimately leave the hospital.
The hole around your tube should be pink and painless, but you will normally have a small amount of mucus around the hole and the tube. Keep the tube free of thick mucus, and carry around a spare tube with you in case the tube you're using gets filled with mucus. Should your current tube get clogged, replace it with your spare tube, and then clean out the old tube and use that one as the backup. Talk with your doctor about the steps you have to take to keep the air you breathe moist, and how to keep your tube unclogged.
Always carry a tissue around with you to catch any expectorant mucus from the tube.
Put a wet gauze or cloth outside your tube, and always keep it moist.
Invest in a humidifier for your home.
Use saline drops to unclog your tubes should they get clogged, and to cough up excess mucus in your system.
When you go outside, cover your tracheostomy hole with a cloth or a tracheostomy cover. This cloth and/or cover will also work to keep your clothes clean, and to keep you from breathing too heavily.
In order to speak, cover your hole with your finger, or a cap. Sometimes, as well, you will be able to speak by capping the tube. Do not get your tracheostomy hole wet — which means, cover it when you're in the shower, and don't go swimming.
To prevent infection, clean your tracheostomy hole at least once a day with either a Q-tip or some cotton balls. Do this after the soreness goes away. Change the ribbons (trach ties) that keep your tube in place if they get dirty. Hold the tube in place, and be sure you can fit two fingers underneath the trach ties to make sure it isn't too tight. Change your gauze dressing, which catches mucus in addition to keeping the tube in place on your neck, at least once a day, or every time it gets dirty.
The board-certified Otolaryngologist/Head and Neck Surgeons of Suncoast ENT Surgical Specialists have the knowledge and expertise you need for your tracheostomy. Please contact our Tampa and Spring Hill office to schedule a personal consultation. If you have received a traumatic injury to your neck and are having trouble breathing, please seek medical attention immediately.

A lot will be written about Britain's vote and how it was a statement from people, left, right and centre, who feel excluded from decision-making and who feel they have no voice in how their lives are run from distant, detached powers.
It's difficult not to blame the EU for many predicaments – after all, the way it handled the Eurozone's problems and the migration crisis make it hard to feel sympathy for the Brussels bureaucracy and for the governments of the Member States. Anti-establishment feelings are legitimate, as there is a lot to be angry against.
What this victory shows, however, is that 52% of the voters went with an option that has no vision for the future of its country, no plan, no roadmap, no credible alternative to what was perhaps the UK's most important strategic option in the last 50 years. The Leave campaign comprises a broad set of people with different political views whose only common objective was to pull the UK out of the European Union. As of today, there is an electoral mandate to do that, but the road ends there – no idea of what sort of relationship the UK and the EU will forge – and looking at the regional differences in the voting, there's no idea of what the UK will even look like within 4-5 years.
Most of all, this was a victory of a campaign which resorted to lies, half-truths and distortion on a regular basis:
the message that the UK would be forced by the EU to accept a huge number of refugees, even though the UK is not bound to accept any refuges under the EU's redistribution scheme
that EU citizens in the UK are draining the country's welfare services, even though figures show the proportion of EU citizens in the UK who rely on state benefits is very small and their contribution to the British economy is significant
that it is possible for the UK to enjoy nearly all the benefits of the single market while putting a cap on EU immigration, even though being part of the single market implies accepting freedom of movement and other arrangements will take long to negotiate and will be cumbersome
that British taxpayers should not bailout troubled Eurozone countries, even though the UK is not even part of the Eurozone and will never be forced to join unless it wants to
that the EU is on its way to becoming a superstate with an army of its own at the expense of the UK's sovereignty on defence, even though none of this is in the plans and could not be applied to the UK without British consent anyway
that the UK is constantly outvoted in EU Council meetings, even though in the enormous majority of times the UK votes with most of the EU member states
that 50% or so of the laws in the UK are drafted and approved by unelected bureaucrats at the expense of the British people, even though the EU decision-making involves two bodies whose members are democratically elected and one body whose leadership is selected and validated by the two other bodies
Confront these claims with the facts and the Leave camp is reduced to empty, angry rhetoric. Not very different from Donald Trump, when you look at it. Also not very unlike those who say that global warming is a myth and that there's no actual evidence to claim that it is man-made – and there are several people in the Leave campaign who hold this position as well. Almost as if the only rule to follow was "everything you hear from an authority, certified organisation or any other source against your views is wrong", exemplified by Michael Gove's statement that the British public had enough of "so-called experts".
Once the celebrations of the Leave campaign fade out, responsibilities will be demanded: the people who voted Leave, as genuinely convinced as they might have been that their problems are rooted in the UK's condition as an EU member, will want to see promises fulfilled and this will be extremely difficult to deliver. We don't know what will happen to UKIP, now that their main objective has been electorally achieved – if the UKIP is to erode by itself, Farage & Co. will not be held accountable for their contribution to this, while the Conservatives will have a responsibility greater that they can imagine, namely they will have to manage the UK's departure in the least chaotic and more stable way possible, as long as it may take…and once again, there is no plan, no roadmap, no strategy whatsoever. It certainly won't fall on David Cameron, now that he considers his mission to have failed and drew his own conclusions.
Perhaps what should be looked into is not why David Cameron pushed for a referendum on EU membership to save his political career (that's what politicians do after all, secure their survival on the short term, it helped him in May 2015) but rather why an electorate that was expected to be risk-averse to such an option has decided to take this plunge and walk into an uncertainty that nobody knows exactly how it will turn out. Why have over 17 million people voted for a project (if we can even call it a project) that ignores clear, unambiguous information that debunks Leave's most significant claims and why did politicians with a responsibility to defend the welfare of their constituents put themselves behind this platform.
For my generation, which was too young to recall the events of the late 1980s and early 1990s with the interest they deserved, this will probably be the most significant political event of our lives. For the first time in many years, I am genuinely afraid of what will happen in this part of the world over the next few years. This is not a crisis that can be contained to one or two countries or which can be solved with long meetings until 7 am in a Brussels building, this was the most serious wound ever dealt to the world's most ambitious, and until recently, most successful integration process. If within 12 – 18 months the political map of Europe has not changed significantly, then we will have dodged a rain of bullets. Until then, what was triggered today is virtually unstoppable and if we thought that previous crises were difficult to handle, it won't take long until we're proven wrong.

t*rexes and tiaras: it's oh so quiet..
i finally have a shed!
We might be almost one day through the new week, but I'm still glowing from my lovely weekend (or possibly from a bit too much sun). I've been yawning all day, which I'm putting down to lack of sleep over the past few days.
Friday night saw me spend the evening at my friend's house, sorting out three hundred pipe cleaners, four remote control cars, nine teddy bears, four packets of felt tip pens, two hundred or so safety pins and numerous other things for the district sleepover we had planned for Saturday night. Our county had been challenged by the County Commissioner to hold a sleepover for our units in the most unusual place possible, and we teamed up with the rest of our district (and a few more) and held our event in a local RAF hangar, which was plenty big enough for 130ish kids.
So, Saturday morning started out sunny and after packing and throwing on my new Primark mens' section shorts with my guide top, we headed to the cash and carry to purchase enough food for everyone's breakfast on Sunday (cue many conversations about how much milk we needed).
The event itself all went well, there were no major dilemmas and lots of Brownies and Guides seemed to enjoy themselves. We had plenty of crafts, activities, a quiz and a campfire before bedtime, which was a lengthy and noisy process. I don't think many people got much sleep that night, but we hadn't really been expecting to.
After coaxing everybody out of their beds and to clear up and eat breakfast on Sunday morning, the girls went home at 10am and we were, rather amazingly, cleared up and ready to leave shortly afterwards (I'd been anticipating another few hours of tidying up / sorting out).
After a quick change, I spent the rest of my Sunday at the allotment to put up (by which I mean assist with the putting-up) my new shed. I now have tan lines where my wellies had been and rather burnt shoulders, but I couldn't be happier to have a shed to store everything in - and I didn't know what colour had been picked until I got there so I'd been a little apprehensive, but I love it!
Once we'd finished, we had one of those amazing evenings of exploring our town, stopping into a few pubs to be nosy and have drinks, and ended up going for dinner at one of the nicest eateries in the town as well. Such a perfect end to a rather good weekend. I feel as though I got loads done AND had time to relax, which is unusual for me.
I love those Primark shorts on you!
Sounds like you had a very productive weekend, makes me feel guilty about how lazy mine was lol.
Love the colour of your new shed too, so pretty!
I love Primark mens section more than the girls, the boys stuff is cute! Also, I love the girl guiding stuff, I was a young leader and always wished my outfit was as cute as the Rainbows ones that I helped out at!
It sounds like you had a fun, if busy, weekend! I love those shorts and I am jealous of your shed!
Oh my gosh, that shed is such a pretty colour!
sail away with me honey..
a fever you can't sweat out..
when the day turns into night..
just when things seem to be fine..
blue is the colour of all that i wear..

A dozen missed connections on 911 offer clues about a shooting reported as an accident
Posted 10:45 pm, December 19, 2019, by Chris Hayes
BELLEFONTAINE NEIGHBORS, Mo. – A local mother is pushing for justice for her only son, who was gunned down five months ago. 911 call records raise more questions about what really happened.
Jamie Coley and her husband, Charles Barnett, met with prosecutors last month about the shooting death of their son, 24-year-old Reco Demond Coley.
"It's hurtful. It's painful that they're not doing anything," Jamie said.
The couple says Bellefontaine Neighbors police decided Reco's death was an accident.
Barnett and Coley found a video appearing to show what happened right after he was shot on July 28, 2019. Surveillance video from a nearby home shows Reco Coley sprinting out of a house where he had been shot.
The 24-year-old collapses in the street. A woman follows 44 seconds later. You see her walk around him in the street. Thirty seconds later, the recording shows the woman walking to a car.
Reco is following slowly behind. Next, you see the woman run back to the house. Then she returns and goes through the car for about a minute. As the video runs out you can see the trunk open and the passenger door open. Reco is bleeding from being shot in the shoulder. The video stops with no sign they're leaving and no sign of an ambulance at 3 minutes and 43 seconds.
Jamie not only wonders why the young woman didn't appear to rush him to the hospital. She also wonders why her son wasn't able to get through to 911.
"The 911 call was dropped six times," she said. "Why would you drop the phone six times calling 911 unless someone is trying to tell - you shot me - and you're hanging up the phone."
911 records confirm Reco's phone called six times and that the "caller hung up after assigned to dispatcher." It's noted all six calls came between 11:08 and 11:09 p.m. Records also show dispatchers called back seven times. That's a total of 13 failed 911 connections.
Police call records show officers were dispatched at 11:11 p.m. anyway to where the calls came from – Norwich Drive in Bellefontaine Neighbors. But the woman had already left with Reco. They went to Christian Northeast Hospital less than three miles away but Jamie says it was too late.
Shelby Cooper used to be roommates with Reco and the woman.
"She could have gotten him there he would still be here today," she said.
Cooper thinks the shooting should be considered a crime.
"They're not looking into everything," she said. "They're just going by her saying it was an accident."
Jamie says she found the video, not police. She says she's also learned of video cameras inside the home that may have recorded the shooting. She's pleading with police to get that video.
"I feel like there's no concern on my son's life," she said.
Fox 2 tracked the woman seen on camera with Reco that day to where she's now living in St. Francois County. A relative answered the door and told our news crew to mind our business.
Jamie Coley wants the woman to answer to authorities
"She shouldn't be walking around enjoying holidays with her family and my son is not here with me," she said.
Jaime and her husband met with St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell and an assistant prosecutor who said they are investigating. We should have an update soon.

Behind the piano
Sleepy Songs by Others
Behind the piano: Florejan
A while back I presented you with the song Watching clouds disappear by the composer Florejan. And today, it's time for him to take over the blog and to be the next person Behind the piano!
What's your real name?
Florejan Verschueren.
How did you come up with your artist name?
My first name is already difficult enough 🙂
Where are you from? And where do you live?
I live in my little but beautiful hometown, in the north of Belgium.
How long have you been playing the piano, and do you play other instruments as well?
I play all kinds of keyboard-instruments, but piano really is my instrument of choice any day.
Tell us about how you started playing music.
As a child I was very intrigued by the sounds my father made by pressing the keys of the grand piano. I guess I never stopped searching for those sounds.
How long have you been making piano music?
As long as I remember. I had some basic piano-lessons from my father at age 4 or 5, and understood rather quickly how to make notes 'blend'. The first years I mainly improvised. Composing came a bit later.
Tell us something about that moment you realized you could make songs yourself!
The first song I was really proud of was made at holiday in the summer (I must have 6 years old?). My father took a small keyboard along, and I spent most of that vacation with my headphones on. It wasn't a moment of epiphany, because my father also writes music. It was just a natural development.
What are your favorite artists in this "piano genre"?
That's a though one! Nils Frahm, Yann Tiersen, Wim Mertens,… So many to choose from!
Is there one song which you play over and over again as soon as you sit down by a piano? Your own or someone else's?
I actually don't play it that much, but 'Melodie' op.47 nr.3 from Lyric Pieces by Grieg is very often in my head. I am classically trained and I love the repertoire of Bach (Das Wohltemperierte Klavier) and Chopin. Their music I do play over and over again.
What rules (in making music) needs to be broken?
Making music has no rules, nothing needs to be broken. There should be no boundaries, just let the music make itself. Don't force it!
How do you record your music?
I record my own music, in my own music room. It's not a real studio, but it was built with creating a nice sound in mind. A lot of wood to make it sound natural, a high ceiling so the sound can take flight,…
Whats your take on sampled instruments?
I used to look at it as cheating, but that has dramatically changed over the years. In the end it comes down to this: If you like the music and how it sounds, it's not important how it is made. A real piano is a joy to play, but if the recording requires samples to sound good, then by all means: go right ahead. I absolutely love to play music for an audience, so I really need a nice sounding instrument, with strings and wood to inspire me.
Anything else you want to share?
I prefer older instruments (with flaws and everything) because they already have a story. I love the discovery and where the instrument takes me. Making music, for me anyway, is combination of the one who plays it (the musician), the piece (composition) and the instrument it is played on. I play differently on each piano.
The last question is asked by my 6 year old son:
Where do all your songs come from?
I don't really consider them MY songs. It's just music that happens to pass through my fingers. I'm the lucky one to discover them!

The Next Wave @ RBA
Posted on March 20, 2019 by barczablog
A concert is not a litmus test but even so today's free noon-hour concert at the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre is an unmistakable sign of health in the community of women creating opera in this country, and apt in the home of the Canadian Opera Company. We saw prize winners of the Inaugural Mécénat Musica Prix 3 Femmes: "a new $25,000 award in Canada supporting the creation of operas by emerging female and female-identifying composers and librettists."
And how wonderful that today we heard some of the great things that they're creating, a preview of the Next Wave Workshop that's to be presented Saturday night March 23rd by Musique 3 Femmes with the support of Tapestry Opera at Ernest Balmer Studio. The basic template is the same for today as for March 23rd: five teams of librettist, composer & director working on an operatic idea, sung by one or more of Suzanne Rigden, soprano, Kristin Hoff, mezzo-soprano, Lindsay Connolly, mezzo-soprano, and played by Jennifer Szeto at the piano. Where today's examples were sung from music stands, Saturday night we'll get staged excerpts. In addition to the music we also heard different perspectives of composer, librettist and director weighing in on an aspect of their project. Today's sampler left me wanting to hear & see more.
Here's how they describe the prize-winning projects, including their projected future productions.
L'HIVER ATTEND BEAUCOUP DE MOI
Composer: Laurence Jobidon (QC)
Librettist: Pascale St-Onge (QC)
Director: Aria Umezawa
Amidst the harsh and cold weather of northern Quebec, Léa tries to reach a safe-house in order to protect herself and her unborn child. She meets Madeleine, a tormented woman who promises to lead her to the end of a road where no one else goes. L'hiver attend beaucoup de moi is a chamber opera that pays tribute to feminine solidarity and resilience, as well as to the strength of the Quebecois territory. The work is led in Toronto by director and former San Francisco Opera Adler fellow Aria Umezawa and will see its full premiere in Montreal in March 2020.
BOOK OF FACES
Composer: Kendra Harder (SK)
Librettist: Michelle Telford (SK)
Director: Jessica Derventzis
"Nothing on Earth has prepared me for life like the Internet…" Book of Faces is a comic opera exploring the world of social media and two millennials for whom the struggle is just too real. The second collaboration between Saskatoon composer Kendra Harder and librettist Michelle Telford, Book of Faces sees a world premiere at Next Wave Workshop led by director and Artistic Director of Opera 5 Jessica Derventzis, and later performances as part of Highlands Opera Studio's 2019 summer season.
SINGING ONLY SOFTLY
Composer: Cecilia Livingston (TO)
Librettist: Monica Pearce (PEI)
Director: Alaina Viau
Singing Only Softly is a song-cycle opera by Toronto composer Cecilia Livingston, featuring an original libretto by Monica Pearce inspired by redacted texts from Anne Frank's famous diary. The work explores Anne's complex adolescence, her growing maturity, and her tumultuous relationship with her mother, Edith. Singing Only Softly is led here by Loose Tea Music Theatre founder and Artistic Director, stage director Alaina Viau, and features guest artist soprano Gillian Grossman. Singing Only Softly sees a full production by Loose Tea Music Theatre in May 2019.
SUITES D'UNE VILLE MORTE
Composer: Margareta Jeric (QC)
Librettist: Naima Kristel Phillips (QC)
Director: Amanda Smith
A woman returns to a place where she fell in love. She finds a piano on a heap of rubble. An exploration of the anatomy of a piano, this work examines the interplay of loss and connection in a world where everything can change in an instant. Based on the play Ghost Town Suites by Naima Kristel Phillips, Suites d'une ville morte is the first collaboration by Phillips with Croatian-Canadian composer Margareta Jeric. The work is in development for Toronto's FAWN Chamber Creative, and is led here by FAWN founder and stage director Amanda Smith.
Composer: Maria Atallah (ON)
Librettist: Alice Abracen (QC)
Director: Anna Theodosakis
"You didn't even know her name. You don't even know my name." With an original libretto by Alice Abracen on a short story by composer Maria Atallah, The Chair explores grief, loss, and friendship through the eyes of a teenager. Melanie loses her best friend in a tragic accident and returns to school to face throng of well-wishers and a mysterious new classmate. For the Next Wave Workshop, the piece is led by COC Ensemble dramatic coach and founder of Toronto's Muse 9 Productions, stage director Anna Theodosakis.
The sequence for today's presentation was different.
We began with a little bit of (1) Singing Only Softly, from the team of Livingston, Pearce & Viau, based on redacted texts that didn't appear in Anne Frank's diary. It's described as a "song cycle opera", a concept I can't pretend to unpack on the basis of what we heard so far. It's an interesting challenge to adapt something that is so well-known (the character at least) yet brand new (the text). Livingston's vocal writing & Pearce's libretto also with Viau's direction successfully conveyed the right impression of a girl. I'm not sure if I'd call it an illusion or simply that they did not transgress the bounds of what I expected from such a well-known character.
Jeric, Phillips & Smith took us 180 degrees in the other direction musically even if we were in some respects in similar territory, with another story involving war, (2) Suites d'une ville morte. But where Livingston's music was gently tonal, Jeric gave us a wildly playful adventure. We're to imagine that a woman returns to a war-torn city finding a piano on top of a heap of rubble (broken? Perhaps the last vestige and the last remnant of life & culture?). While this might be wonderful staged, what we saw in the concert performance was an invitation to our poetic imaginations. Szeto was playing on and in a prepared piano, at times strumming and making this instrument –that we could imagine as a virtual character in this opera– sing, while the singers tapped their chests and produced all manner of sounds, before they did finally begin to sing too. I found it wonderfully problematic that one could ask who is the instrument and who is the singer. The concept is pregnant with possibilities.
(3) The Chair from Attalah, Abracen & Theodosakis showed us something different again, and had me admiring the jaw-dropping contrasts, in the way they curated this concert. We went from…
1-something straight-forward in its innocent portrayal of childhood to…
2-something wilder & more dissonant, and now …
3-in this the third item the first glimpse of irony & layers between the surface and the interior, all in a brief presentation. So much of our lives is a performance, and here it was wonderful to see the distance between what was being said and what was being felt, shown with such clarity and edge by this team.
For the next one, from Jobidon, St-Onge & Umezawa, we went in a new direction that was in some respects very conventionally operatic –a woman's suffering—but shown in a whole new way. (4) L'hiver attend beaucoup de moi shows us emotion and pain, in a very beautiful and tuneful package, the piano writing also very powerful. While I understand that the story concerns "solidarity & resilience" (as stated above), I don't think we were hearing that in the passage heard today. This was for me the most conventionally operatic sounding of the first four excerpts, and given the politics of the occasion I hope that's okay to say..(?).
The team from furthest away were present to talk a bit about their work. Harder & Telford are from Saskatchewan, and worked with Derventis on a comic opera about social media. Facebook begat (5) Book of Faces. As composer Kendra Harder explained she envisaged oratorio when she composed; the result is somewhat parodic, reminding me of the irony we get in Gay's Beggar's Opera or perhaps what we hear in Gilbert & Sullivan, in the collision between the stiffness of a style and the wackiness of Telford's text. All that was missing was the voice-over "and now for something completely different". Our finale –an aria titled "Take it to Tumblr"—was the most recognizably operatic display of the day, pushing soprano Suzanne Rigden to the top of her range & her most agile coloratura. It was deliciously silly.
If you want to hear more of any & all of these, you need to get a ticket to Saturday's "Musique 3 Femmes: The Next Wave".

May 27, 2021 – Provincial government update on the COVID-19 pandemic
Here is an update on recent decisions and actions by the provincial government in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Plan to resume sports and recreational activities
Minister for Education Isabelle Charest announced the details of the plan to resume sports and recreational activities over the summer season.
Outdoor sports and leisure
Starting June 11, supervised sports and leisure activities will be permitted outdoors in groups of 25 people in yellow zones. Sports involving brief contact, such as soccer, baseball and volleyball, will be permitted.
In red and orange zones, non-contact sports, such as tennis and pétanque, will be permitted.
Starting June 25, outdoor tournaments and competitions with spectators will be permitted in green zones. Sports activities will be permitted in groups of 50 people.
Indoor sports activities
Starting June 25, indoor sports activities can resume according to the regional colour code. "A transition to yellow will mean the return to indoor activities of up to a maximum of 12 people, but league activities, competitions and tournaments will only be permitted once a region has transitioned to green, for groups of up to a maximum of 25 people," said Isabelle Charest.
At the end of June, indoor combat sports will be permitted in green zones.
Vaccination – Schedule for the second dose
Minister of Health and Social Services Christian Dubé announced that next week the government will publish the schedule for administering the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Appointment changes can be made as of June 7.
Appointments will be made by age category, as was the case for the first dose.
Second dose of AstraZeneca
The Comité sur l'immunisation du Québec (CIQ) issued a new opinion, reducing the recommended interval for receiving the second dose of AstraZeneca from 16 weeks to 8 weeks.
People who received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine before April 3 can get their second dose in walk-in clinics as of May 29.
Quebecers who received their first dose of AstraZeneca, but who would prefer to receive another vaccine for their second dose will be able to do so, but they will have to postpone the date of their second dose.
There are presently 150,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in Québec. Other deliveries are scheduled for June.

Individuals licensed as a builder or swimming pool builder under the Home Building Act 1989 are required to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) each year as a condition of licence renewal.
In late 2006, an independent evaluation recommended changes to the CPD operating in the NSW home building industry. As a result of these changes builders and pool builders now undertake CPD by doing courses or learning activities delivered by training providers and industry experts under an improved and simplified program.
Since the 1st of January 2008 the CPD has been operating more simply under a 12-point per year system. Illawarra ITeC currently runs workshops that can be undertaken to gain the points required to remain complient under the CPD guidelines. To see a list of workshops available please visit our workshops and seminars page.

Soviets shoot down U.S. jet
The U.S. State Department angrily accuses the Soviet Union of shooting down an American jet that strayed into East German airspace. Three U.S. officers aboard the plane were killed in the incident. The Soviets responded with charges that the flight was a "gross provocation," and the incident was an ugly reminder of the heightened East-West tensions of the Cold War-era.
According to the U.S. military, the jet was on a training flight over West Germany and pilots became disoriented by a violent storm that led the plane to veer nearly 100 miles off course. The Soviet attack on the plane provoked angry protests from the Department of State and various congressional leaders, including Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, who charged that the Soviets had intentionally downed the plane "to gain the offensive" in the aggressive Cold War maneuvering.
For their part, the Soviets refused to accept U.S. protests and responded that they had "all grounds to believe that this was not an error or mistake…It was a clear intrusion." Soviet officials also claimed that the plane was ordered to land but refused the instructions. Shortly after the incident, U.S. officials were allowed to travel to East Germany to recover the bodies and the wreckage.
Like numerous other similar Cold War incidents–including the arrest of suspected "spies" and the seizure of ships–this event resulted in heated verbal exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union, but little else. Both nations had bigger issues to contend with: the United States was engaged in the Vietnam War, and the Soviet Union was dealing with a widening split with communist China. The deaths were, however, another reminder that the heated suspicion, heightened tension, and loaded rhetoric of the Cold War did have the potential to erupt into meaningless death and destruction.

Q: Is there a way to push foralls past constructors when sound? Suppose I have
data Foo p =
    NoFoo
  | YesFoo (forall a. p a)

I can write
fromFoo :: Foo p -> Maybe (p a)
fromFoo NoFoo = Nothing
fromFoo (YesFoo p) = Just p

It's also possible to go the other way:
toFoo :: forall p.
         (forall a. Maybe (p a))
      -> Foo p
toFoo m =
  case m :: Maybe (p ()) of
    Nothing -> NoFoo
    Just _ -> YesFoo (fromJust m)

The fromJust is disgusting! toFoo is actually total, because parametricity ensures that m @a behaves exactly the same as m @(), but this is gross. Is there any cleaner way?
Edit: rampion pointed out that this can be written more concisely, still with fromJust. I just realized it can be done a bit humorously, making fun of the newbies:
toFoo m
  | isNothing m = NoFoo
  | otherwise = YesFoo (fromJust m)

The only way I see to avoid creating a thunk to apply fromJust is by getting super-evil:
toFoo Nothing = NoFoo
toFoo (Just x) = YesFoo (unsafeCoerce# x)

A: The best I can come up with so far still uses fromJust, but it's simpler:
toFoo :: forall p.
         (forall a. Maybe (p a))
      -> Foo p
toFoo Nothing = NoFoo
toFoo m = YesFoo $ fromJust m

I have tried Advanced Access Manager, which is caught in a loop (bug), I've tried a couple of others too, but can only manage to protect the pages within the 'Pages' menu in the WP admin.
My problem is, that I have a few plugins (a wiki plugin being one of them), which are not on the 'Pages' sections of the admin as they are created by the plugin scripts, so I can't protect them from members of a level too low to view them.
Does anyone know of a plugin where I can input a slug with a wildcard (custom_slug* for example) into the admin of WP and choose to restrict all pages using that slug from being accessed by certain member roles?

Poland moves closer to the US, another Trump foreign policy success
By Richard Grenell, opinion contributor — 10/20/20 11:30 AM EDT
The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill
View Latest Opinions >>
It's been one year since President Trump Donald TrumpIran convicts American businessman on spying charge: report DC, state capitals see few issues, heavy security amid protest worries Pardon-seekers have paid Trump allies tens of thousands to lobby president: NYT MORE, in coordination with U.S. Ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher, invited the people of Poland into America's Visa Waiver Program (VWP). The program allows Polish citizens to apply to travel to the United States for tourism or business purposes without obtaining a U.S. visa, a privilege extended to only a small number of American allies. What does this development tell us about Trump's foreign policy and the transatlantic relationship?
First, it reflects Trump's relentless focus on the American economy, even and especially in the making of foreign policy. According to the U.S. Travel Association, the spending generated by 23 million VWP travelers amounted to $190 billion in economic activity in 2017, and supported nearly 1 million jobs. The United States is Poland's top non-European Union (EU) investor and, in 2020, U.S. goods imported by Poland totaled $8.3 billion. Trump would not have brought Poland into the VWP if it did not produce an economic benefit to the American people. The VWP is a recognition of both the strong economic ties between the U.S. and Poland, and the rising contributions of Polish people and business beyond their borders — and Trump is the president who recognized it.
Second, it reflects the increasingly close relationship between Washington and Warsaw under the Trump administration. The VWP is not only about tourism and business — due to the ease of exchange and travel under the VWP, designated countries must meet several requirements related to counterterrorism, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, document security, and border management. Poland's inclusion in the VWP is therefore a testament to its rising special relationship with the U.S., and its ability to work with America on joint security priorities. Poland had been moving in this direction for some time but it was not formally recognized until the Trump administration and Mosbacher's ambassadorship.
This was demonstrated by Poland's success in meeting the required B1/B2 visa refusal rate. The State Department, the U.S. Embassy and Ambassador Mosbacher worked hard to get the application refusal rate under 3 percent, mostly through public outreach efforts to educate Polish citizens interested in the VWP regarding U.S. visa criteria. The relative ease with which Poland completed all necessary bilateral security agreements and met the required visa refusal rate demonstrated the close working relationships between Washington and Warsaw.
Third, Poland's inclusion in the VWP reflects its rising geopolitical power in Europe. As Germany prevaricates between NATO and Russia, and as France attempts a fully-fledged entente with Moscow, Poland has emerged as America's strongest ally within the EU and NATO regarding the Russian threat. Trump has acknowledged Poland's increasing significance within the Western alliance by proposing a relocation of thousands of U.S. troops from Germany to Poland and bolstering bilateral defense cooperation.
Poland has repaid the Trump administration's trust in spades. It jointly hosts the NATO Multinational Corps and Division Northeast Headquarters, hosts a NATO Force Integration Unit (NFIU), serves as a framework nation under the very high readiness joint task force (VJTF) for 2020, and will host the forward command post of the U.S. Army's new V Corps headquarters. The Polish military has contributed to operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo, and operations against ISIS. Poland hosts approximately 4,500 rotational U.S. military personnel, and the 2020 U.S.-Poland Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) will enable a larger rotational U.S. presence in Poland. It is for this reason that Poland must, too, work to keep moving in the direction of capitalism and Western ideals.
It is easy to forget just what an astonishing achievement in U.S. alliance policy this is. The U.S. has supported Polish independence ever since the Wilson administration, and Washington was the first foreign government to recognize Poland in 1919. But Poland then suffered a catastrophic 70 years, invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in World War II, and then subjugated by a Russian-imposed communist regime. When the Soviet Union's empire began to collapse in 1989, Poland was a model of peaceful democratic change. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU in 2004. But its rising status as a transatlantic power and ironclad American ally should not be taken for granted. Only with decades of bilateral cooperation and farsighted statesmanship in both countries has such a relationship been achieved and sustained.
Poland's participation in the VWP is simply an extension of this history of progress, which will only deepen as Polish citizens participate in American economic and cultural life more easily.

Let's hope this one doesn't get rolled back.
· Seattle Police Department will continue the Safe Place program to identify local businesses that will shelter victims of harassment until officers arrive.
· The Department of Neighborhoods will use Neighborhood Matching Funds to support projects that promote LGBTQ safety.
· The City will direct more resources to support Project EQTY and other social service providers that work with LGBT youth.
· The Human Services Department will improve rapid rehousing and access to hotel vouchers for transgender homeless youth who experience a disproportionately high risk of violence.
· Seattle City Light, Seattle Public Utilities and the Department of Transportation will address dark alleys and other physical environments on Capitol Hill that provide cover for criminals.
· Install additional rainbow crosswalks near the new Capitol Hill light rail station.
· Adopt a new City ordinance to require that single-person restrooms in public accommodations and city facilities be signed for all genders.
· The Seattle Office for Civil Rights will launch a public campaign to educate all Seattle residents about the concerns and rights of their LGBTQ neighbors.
Some of the initiatives are already underway. CHS reported here on the rollout of the Safe Place program with SPD working with neighborhood businesses to increase awareness and provide resources for helping people facing harassment or hate activity. Meanwhile, the mayor's office has already put forward legislation requiring all-gender restrooms in Seattle. And, of course, Pike/Pine already sports 11 rainbow crosswalks.
The task force was convened by Murray earlier this year in response to growing concerns about ongoing street crime and bias incidents targeting gay, lesbian, and transgender victims. While some have pushed to approach the problem through economics and housing, others have called for more to be done from the policing and public safety side. The city is now funding a year-round youth shelter at 19th/Madison's PSKS.
In addition to the rainbow crosswalks on Broadway near the light rail station due to open in 2016, the recommendations also include a possible plan to create even more visible symbols in the Gayborhood. "The City will also explore the possibility of installing LGBTQ-themed street signs or markers in Capitol Hill, as a joint effort of the City, community organizations, and other stakeholders," the plan reads.
Other public space initiatives in the city also appear to dovetail with the LGBTQ plan including underway plans to make streets safer by addressing "dark alleys and other physical environments on Capitol Hill that provide cover for criminals." Eliminating dumpsters is one element already in motion. Seattle has also been increasing efforts to "activate" alleyways — though, in some instances, the city has also de-activated them.
The full LGBTQ Task Force "action plan" is embedded at the bottom of this post.
Capitol Hill is truly an insane asylum. Not everyone on Capitol Hill is gay. I want a crosswalk too.
When acts of violence are committed against people because of their sexual orientation in what is largely considered to be an LGBTQ neighborhood (or anywhere), it's worth putting out a few reminders that such things are not tolerated.
It's worth making it clear that those assholes that commit such acts do so alone, and without the support of the majority.
And it's worth making it clear to the victims that they are NOT alone.
Model by example. If you want tolerance and community in your neighborhood, build that tolerance and community into it.
I think it's a good message that the residents of Capitol Hill stand with their LGBTQ neighbors.
Funny how out anti-second amendment mayor would love to deny the LGBTQ community the most effective means of self defense. Instead Murray pays empty lip service and paints crosswalks with funds that should go towards fixing potholes.
That's a tired argument and entirely irrelevant to trying to promote an atmosphere of acceptance and tolerance in a community.
Besides, Washington is already an open carry state, no special permitting required. And they could go with concealed carry if they got the permitting.
My point being, if these people wanted to walk around with guns, they would.
Guns don't solve problems, people do.
Oh, yeah, great idea. That's what all us gay folks need to feel safe on Capitol Hill – – we all need guns. Excellent. Hey, I have an even better idea. Let's arm all the drag queens. That would be awesome! What could go wrong?
Tell you what – you can have ALL the non-rainbow crosswalks. That should be a roughly 100:1 ratio, so hopefully you won't have to keep feeling so oppressed knowing the overwhelming majority of crosswalks on Capitol Hill are "straight".
I love the rainbow crosswalks!
No disrespect, most people REALLY dont care about your orientation. We just dont want to see rainbows everywhere. Its not necessary to shove rainbows in everyone's face to try and prevent those hate crimes. Add more police on the sidewalks, like any other city would.
Not only that, but adding rainbow crosswalks 10-15 years ago on Capitol Hill might have meant something but adding them after the Supreme Court decision is more like jumping on the mainstream bandwagon while the ship has already sailed in favor of LBGT rights. Hell, literally every business on Capitol Hill including every multinational chain has a rainbow flag in the window, if not 10 flags.
The other thing is the sign of progress is that we don't have a gay ghetto anymore. A gay ghetto is a sign that the LBGT community doesn't feel comfortable or welcome assimilating into larger society and residential communities but instead as a real sign of progress, society especially metropolitan societies, have definitely grown more tolerant of LBGT people that a gay ghetto is largely irrelevant in the same way a Little Italy is, other than for purely historical and cultural reasons (I'll admit there is still progress to be made most in particular for transgender people).
Legalizing gay marriage (by court order) didn't suddenly solve all problems that LGBT people face. I get that a lot of straight people would like to high five each other and congratulate themselves on their tolerance, but it's a long way from over. Just look at the 100% increase in hate crimes on Capitol Hill so far this year.
On the point at hand, I'd say that visible signs that Capitol Hill was/is the center of Seattle's gay community is one step that can be take, beyond the obvious request for more police presence.
Maybe making Capitol Hill seem more gay will deter the types of people that are coming in from outside the neighborhood and perpetrating these crimes.
But I do apologize for that horrible burden that some people might experience, having to look at gay symbols. That must be so hard for you.
Yeah, nature is sooooo Gay! Can't we just stop nature from making all those Gay rainbows! Why does nature have to keep throwing its Gay rainbows in our faces! STOP IT RIGHT NOW, NATURE!
If you're so offended at rainbows, why did you move to the gay part of town?
If the mayor is going to push for more rainbow crosswalks and awareness why not distribute them across neighborhoods? There seem to be plenty on Capitol Hill to make a point. The question is whether they would be accepted elsewhere. I'm just watching turn dingy after 6 weeks or so. All neighborhoods are evolving.
Neighborhoods are not where anti-LGBT violence is happening. They're not there just to look pretty– they're supposed to clue in the clueless– the ones who have no clue about their surroundings, about Capitol Hill's tradition as a gay-friendly neighborhood; and feel otherwise safe to harass & assault LGBT people. Putting them in neighborhoods is pointless.
So everyone is blind to the hundreds of rainbow colored flags hanging from businesses and the stickers in the windows?
Let's make the Hill a hate-free zone.
I applaud the Mayor for his anti-LGBTQ violence initiative, but I don't think more rainbow crosswalks are going to make a difference. Having a few of them in Pike-Pine (where most of the violence seems to take place) is OK, but beyond that it's too much, and crosses the line into tackiness.
Obviously they can/will increase police presence.
This is an attempt to address some of the root causes and fundamental issues to lower the instances of them occurring, and to assist when/if they occur when the police aren't around.
Regardless of the effectiveness of rainbow crosswalks in curtaining bias crimes, the LGBT task force has to have realized that putting a recommendation regarding them in its list would overshadow every other recommendation and make the task force seem like a joke.
Crosswalks west of Broadway are completely worn off the streets, by the way. But we all know that pedestrian safety takes a back seat to the identity politics of this mayor's administration.
I'm going to be bummed every time i see the new Capitol Hill light rail station sign. The flag, as presented on the sign, isn't representative of the Pride flag.
Same here. If they couldn't do color, they should have gone with a triangle or some other symbol instead.
I guess when you have nothing else do something that feels good, rainbows. EVERYONE knows CH. People come here to party and act up, it's fun. They get drunk and act stupid. Some get angry and want to fight and destroy things. Criminals come for easy pickings, they are mean and run their mouth reckless. Sorry but no rainbow fix there, but if it feels good it's only money.
Crime deterrence ? Hmm…ever wonder why cops don't enforce minor things anymore? Look at the MJ ticket fiasco as an example. It's the small things that matter, they lead to big things. Broken windows. Jaywalking, drinking, MJ, trespass, urban campers, noise, unruly pets and owners and more have a free pass. Why not come to CH and get stupid. Our elected officials are more concerned about agendas, not policing.
Be careful and be wise.
I can't leave my home after dark for fear of violence against me, but we have more rainbow sidewalks. What a cruel gesture. I expected better, but I guess at the end of the day the mayor is just a man.
Rainbow crosswalks are fine. I've no objection to them…but I want to know more about what we're going to do for young people.


Who plays Asphalt Overdrive here? I wanted to buy gold and entered a payment option that Gameloft doesn't recognize. Now, I want to switch my payment options. Who knows how to do that?
The game is funny for him (and for me).
I don't find it boring, although it is very different from Asphalt 8. There are times you need to think and swipe fast on higher levels.
And yes, I want to spend a little cash on it. I hope that the succeeding commenters can help me on my query.
