The Year in Review: The COVID-19 Pandemic and Implications for Pediatric Advanced Practice
Contributed by: Health Policy Committee Member Linda Zekas, MSN, MJ, APRN, NNP-BC, CPNP-PC, CWON
Our world has become more complicated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. Some changes have been good (e.g., discovering new and innovative ways in which to provide health care) and some have been less positive (e.g., stress on our health care system). Because of its impact on most aspects of our economy and society, COVID-19 has triggered key federal legislation affecting health care, including health care for pediatric populations.
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was the first piece of COVID-19 related health care legislation passed on March 18, 2020. Medicare, Medicaid and all group insurance policies were mandated to cover COVID-19 testing with no cost-sharing. Additionally, these plans were prohibited from imposing prior authorization requirements during the federal emergency period.
Subsequently, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act expanded the mandate that COVID-19 related tests that had not yet received FDA emergency use authorization would be covered by insurers. A critical provision of the legislation was that it provided for expanded coverage and grants to promote the broader use of telehealth. In the case of medically complex children, the new telehealth provisions have proved to be key to providing necessary care. Other provisions include covering COVID-19 testing and services to those uninsured by Medicaid despite eligibility and without cost-sharing. Although still in development at the time of passage, the legislation coverage of COVID-19 vaccines without cost-sharing.
Important to pediatric health care, the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act, passed on May 15, 2020, provides critical funding for SNAP and WIC nutritional assistance programs, Public Health Services Emergency Fund, substance abuse and mental health services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and social services targeted at families and children, as well as other programs.
As we look forward to 2021, federal appropriations will be necessary to support the various programs that were added or expanded in COVID-19 related legislation. This is particularly true for ongoing testing, vaccine review and monitoring by federal agencies, nation-wide safe and secure distribution of vaccines and research for special populations, including children, adolescents and young adults. From a population health perspective, funding will be needed to support individuals and families who have lost their jobs and health insurance because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results of our recent election will also change the balance of power within the executive and legislative branches of national, state and local governments with down-stream effects yet unknown.
Biden Administration, Congress Begin Post-Election Transitions
Amid election challenges that delayed the process, President-elect Joseph Biden ramped up the transition to his administration in November, appointing a coronavirus task force and agency review teams and nominating members of his Cabinet. On Dec. 6 Biden tapped California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who has led the legal defense of the Affordable Care Act, to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services. In nearly 25 years on Capitol Hill, Becerra helped draft the 2010 health reform law as chair of the House Democratic Caucus before being named in 2017 Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as California's attorney general.
Biden filled out key health care posts in his administration by appointing former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to reassume that role and naming Massachusetts General Hospital chief of infectious diseases Rochelle Walensky to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The President-elect appointed a transition coronavirus task force Nov. 9 and expanded it Nov. 28 to include nurse Jane Hopkins, RNMH, a mental health specialist who has served on Washington State's COVID task force and Safe Start Advisory Board.
Congress also took first steps to organize for its 117th session, reelecting the top House and Senate leadership in both parties. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) was chosen to succeed retiring Rep Nita Lowey (D-NY) as chair of the House Appropriations Committee. DeLauro will retain her chairmanship of the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee in the new Congress, as well.
Congress Nears Year-End Spending Deal
More than two months after the 2021 fiscal year began, congressional leaders are close to a final agreement on a $1.4 billion omnibus bill to fund the federal government, including nursing workforce and research programs, through next September. As of Dec. 15, House and Senate appropriators were expected to unveil the deal in time to set up a House vote as early as Dec. 16 and a Senate vote before the stopgap measure funding government programs runs out at midnight Dec. 18. Negotiation cleared the final stumbling block to a deal by agreeing to keep $12.5 billion in veterans' health funding under the statutory cap on federal spending, rather than designating the funds as "emergency" spending outside of the limits.
The agreement appears likely to include increases in funding for nursing workforce and research programs, although as of Dec. 15 the final amounts aren't known. The House approved a Labor-HHS-Education bill that increased funding for Title VIII nursing programs by $10 million to a total of $269.97 million, while Senate appropriators proposed an increase of more than $6 million. The Senate also offered to increase funding for the National Institute of Nursing Research by $5.61 million, while the House approved a $1.45 million increase with additional pandemic emergency funding.

Lame Duck Congress Presses to Agree on Coronavirus Aid
With the nation facing another surge in coronavirus cases and leaders in both parties saying Congress can't adjourn for the holidays without a deal, lawmakers appeared to be close to agreement on a package of nearly $1 trillion in coronavirus relief and stimulus. A bipartisan group of senators on Dec. 14 released the details of a two-part proposal to provide $748 billion to extend federal unemployment benefits, support small businesses, and deliver emergency fund for education, transportation, and health care provider relief. A separate, more controversial bill would allocate $160 billion in additional funding for state and local governments linked with short-term liability protections for employers – two issues on which Republicans and Democrats have been unable to agree.
As of Dec. 15, it's not clear that the whole package can win congressional approval. While the aid to businesses, schools, and the unemployed appeared to have broad support, Democrats continued to push for more assistance for states and localities – the proposal did not include increased federal matching funding for state Medicaid programs. Legislators also wanted to know the details of how added funding for vaccine distribution and administration would be allocated, and committees in both chambers were pushing to include provisions to outlaw "surprise" medical bills.
First COVID-19 Vaccinations Begin
The first coronavirus vaccination in the U.S. was administered Dec. 14 as public health officials reassured the public of the vaccine's safety and effectiveness. Sandra Lindsay, an ICU nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens, received the first of two doses of a vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech as her injection was carried live on several news channels. The rollout of the Pfizer vaccine followed its rapid approval by the Food and Drug Administration's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee and the FDA's Dec. 11 issuance of an emergency use authorization for the drug. The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices unanimously endorsed the use of Pfizer's vaccine Dec. 12 for Americans 16 years and older, and CDC Director Robert Redfield signed off on the recommendations a day later.
The FDA advisory committee is scheduled to meet again Dec. 17 to consider drug maker Moderna's application for emergency use authorization of its vaccine, and vaccines developed by Johnson & Johnson and Astra Zeneca could seek federal approval by the end of February. If approved, the government could have four vaccines available to meet its goal of immunizing 100 million people by the end of March.
Supreme Court Hears ACA Case, Agrees to Review Work Requirements
In a potentially critical Nov. 10 hearing on the fate of the 2010 health care reform law, Supreme Court justices appeared unlikely to strike down the Affordable Care Act over the elimination of a penalty for individuals not having health coverage. The challenge in California v. Texas, the third major challenge to the law heard by the court, centers on the 2017 decision by Congress to eliminate the law's penalty for not having health insurance – without repealing the coverage requirement itself. During two hours of oral arguments, at least two of the court's six-justice conservative majority appeared to have reservations about overturning the law. Chief Justice John Roberts and Trump appointee Justice Brett Kavanaugh questioned whether the elimination of the individual coverage mandate penalty made the rest of the law invalid, and Kavanaugh seemed to favor leaving the rest of the law intact if the mandate is struck.
On Dec. 4, the court agreed to consider the Trump administration's request to reinstate work requirements for some Medicaid enrollees, even as President-elect Biden plans to reverse the policies. The justices will hear appeals of lower court rulings that overturned the Trump administration's approval of waivers from Arkansas and New Hampshire requiring some low-income adults to work, volunteer or attend school as a condition of receiving coverage. Every lower court that considered work requirement cases have blocked the controversial policy, including a federal appeals panel earlier this year. Nearly 20 states have received or sought permission for similar work rules, but virtually none of those policies have been active as the legal battle played out.
CMS Boosts NP Medicare Payment, Test Supervision
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Dec. 1 released the final rule for the 2021 Medicare Part B fee schedule, increasing payment for evaluation and management services that will give nurse practitioners an average 7 percent increase in reimbursement. The regulations also finalized policies authorizing NPs, clinical nurse specialists, and certified nurse-midwives to supervise Medicare diagnostic testing, affirming evaluation and management documentation and payment guidelines, and expanding Medicare coverage of telehealth services that the agency implemented during the coronavirus public health emergency.
While primary care and outpatient services generally received payment increases, specialists and providers of hospital-based services asked Congress to intervene to prevent cuts in their payment due to statutory budget neutrality requirements – nurse anesthetists are looking at an average 10 percent cut – in the midst of pandemic economic pressure. Nearly 330 members of the Senate and House have endorsed legislation to stop the cuts from taking effect on New Year's Day, either by waiving budget neutrality for a year or freezing payments at current levels for two years, but Congress may not act before it adjourns.
Federal Judge Orders DACA Program to Be Reinstated
A New York federal district judge on Dec. 4 ordered the Trump administration to fully restore the Obama-era "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" program designed to shield young, undocumented immigrants from deportation, dealing what could be a final blow to President Trump's long-fought effort to end the program. Judge Nicholas Garaufis directed the administration to allow newly eligible immigrants to file new applications for protection under the program, reversing a memorandum issued in the summer by acting Homeland Security Sec. Chad Wolf that limited the program to people who were already enrolled. As many as 300,000 new applicants could now be eligible, according to the lawyers who pushed for the reinstatement.
EPA Rejects Stronger Air Pollution Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency on Dec. 7 declined to set tougher standards on soot and other deadly air pollutants, saying existing regulations remain sufficient even though nurses, public health experts and environmental justice advocates had called for stricter limits. The agency issued final rules retaining the current thresholds for fine particle pollution for another five years, deciding that levels set in 2012 are adequately protective of human health despite mounting evidence linking air pollution with illness and death.
EPA scientists had recommended lowering the annual particulate matter standard in a draft report last year, citing estimates that reducing the limit to 9 micrograms per cubic meter of air could save between 9,050 and 34,600 lives a year. The current national standards limit annual concentrations of soot and other chemicals to 12 micrograms per cubic meter, allowing emissions on specific days to be as high as 35 per cubic meter. Public health experts argued that these fine particles can enter the lungs and bloodstream of children and adults, causing inflammation that can lead to asthma, heart attacks and other illnesses.

Plastic Surgery can be beneficial to disabled persons. For those with physical disabilities, this may mean that they can function normally like any ordinary person.
UK-Based Prague Medical Institute has shared information on how plastic surgery can benefit people with physical disabilities. In their article, they mentioned that this may be a heavily debated topic but surgical reconstruction can be advantageous to the disabled individual. In the same write-up they enumerated plastic surgery methods that can be conducted on disabled persons.
The rest of the physical conditions that can be treated by plastic surgery can be found here.
The Eye Magazine also shared an article on how children in Uganda benefit from Plastic Surgery. The surgeries they mentioned have been carried out at CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital.
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons meanwhile published a write-up about a disabled actress who went through plastic surgery and how he has benefitted from it.
Check out the rest of Natasha's story here.
Cosmetic and plastic surgery can indeed be beneficial for persons with disabilities.


"TWO daughters getting married in one year? Unlucky!"
1. So you'll be paying for this, right?
Hmm, how to explain that back when parents paid for the whole wedding, things weren't quite as expensive as they are now? There were no photobooths in our day!
See point above! My wedding day was quite a while ago, and I assure you puffy sleeves were all the rage back then.
3. I'm not a baby anymore!
4. There's no way you're inviting Bob and Janet from next door!
Oh? We did think paying for half the wedding might just allow us to invite our oldest friends to enjoy the day with us, foolish of us really.
5. Mum you're driving me crazy!
6. TWO daughters getting married in one year? Unlucky!
Yes, because it IS all about the financial aspect rather than the joy of seeing my babies getting married, isn't it?
7. So, you're a crazy mother in law now! Ha ha!
Yes, because ALL mothers in law are crazy aren't they? Who doesn't love a cliche?
8. You'll be crying your eyes out all day!
Thank you for reminding me I will be an absolute wreck all day. My baby is getting married *sob*.
Oh I'm going to be late to my own daughter's wedding? No biggie.
10. Oh how funny, I'm wearing the exact same outfit as you. From Coast, right?
11. Ah, do you remember when we were young and in love too?
Thank you darling, for reminding me how old we are!
12. The party is starting now, so you older people can finally go to bed!
Oh we're too old to enjoying a bit of dancing are we?
13. The party's on until 3am, we can't wait!
Oh goodie, I wasn't looking forward to a good night's sleep or anything.

Bestor, Theodore C. 2001. "Markets: Anthropological Aspects." International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences, 9227-9231.
Markets are so routinely regarded as fundamentally economic institutions that long–standing and quite varied anthropological perspectives on them are often overlooked. Anthropological attention focuses on patterns of individual and small–group exchange relationships within specific markets, on institutional structures that organize markets, and on the social, political, and spatial hierarchies through which markets link social classes, ethnic groups, or regional societies into larger systems. Anthropological studies of markets analyze them as nodes of complex social processes and generators of cultural activity as well as realms for economic exchange. Anthropologists' interests in markets, therefore, are partially distinct from – although certainly overlapping with – the concerns of economists.


"'Your faces are the faces of America,' said Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is running for re-election this year and is seen as a possible Democratic presidential candidate in 2008.
"Mrs. Clinton was cheered early in the four-hour rally when she thanked the rallying immigrants for their everyday work. 'Your faces are the faces of those who give us a fair day's work -- and often not for a fair day's pay,' she said."
What Bernstein doesn't get into is Clinton's utter flip-flop on illegal immigration. Back in 2004, after Bush's reelection, she told Manhattan's WABC radio: "I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. Clearly, we have to make some tough decisions as a country, and one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry-and-exit system so that if we're going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let's have a system that keeps track of them....People have to stop employing illegal immigrants. I mean, come up to Westchester, go to Suffolk and Nassau counties, stand on the street corners in Brooklyn or the Bronx. You're going to see loads of people waiting to get picked up to go do yard work and construction work and domestic work."

Computer Forensics Excerpt :
Every computer crime leaves tracks–you just have to know where to find them. This book shows you how to collect and analyze the digital evidence left behind in a digital crime scene. Computers have always been susceptible to unwanted intrusions, but as the sophistication of computer technology increases so does the need to anticipate, and safeguard against, a corresponding rise in computer-related criminal activity. Computer forensics, the newest branch of computer security, focuses on the aftermath of a computer security incident. The goal of computer forensics is to conduct a structured investigation to determine exactly what happened, who was responsible, and to perform the investigation in such a way that the results are useful in a criminal proceeding. Written by two experts in digital investigation, Computer Forensics provides extensive information on how to handle the computer as evidence. Kruse and Heiser walk the reader through the complete forensics process–from the initial collection of evidence through the final report. Topics include an overview of the forensic relevance of encryption, the examination of digital evidence for clues, and the most effective way to present your evidence and conclusions in court. Unique forensic issues associated with both the Unix and the Windows NT/2000 operating systems are thoroughly covered. This book provides a detailed methodology for collecting, preserving, and effectively using evidence by addressing the three A's of computer forensics: Acquire the evidence without altering or damaging the original data. Authenticate that your recorded evidence is the same as the original seized data. Analyze the data without modifying the recovered data. Computer Forensics is written for everyone who is responsible for investigating digital criminal incidents or who may be interested in the techniques that such investigators use. It is equally helpful to those investigating hacked web servers, and those who are investigating th

The general focus of my research is the experimental study of structure and phase transitions in soft condensed matter - particularly liquid crystals and complex fluids. These systems illustrate key issues in condensed matter physics, ranging from the most basic, such as the statistical mechanics of phase transitions (critical phenomena), continuum elastic theory, and the dynamical modes arising from broken symmetries in many particle systems, to the more applied: the optical properties of complex dielectric media and ferroelectricity in soft matter are examples. The experimental techniques I use are optical scattering spectroscopy (dynamic light scattering and optical Bragg scattering), optical birefringence and dichroism (the measurement of phase and absorption anisotropies), and polarizing light microscopy. Applied electric and magnetic fields are also employed to manipulate the structure and symmetry of the experimental systems. These techniques afford students the opportunity to manage an individual research project and to acquire a practical (and marketable) training in modern optical technology.
Among the specific research topics I am presently pursuing or planning to pursue are: (1) Commensurate/incommensurate structure and phase transitions in freely- suspended ferroelectric liquid crystal films; (2) Two-dimensional ordering in smectic thin films under the influence of large applied electric fields; (3) The elastic properties and dynamics of polymer-stabilized liquid crystals, including effects on fundamental liquid crystal phase transitions and on chiral structure in cholesteric and ferroelectric liquid crystals; and (4) A study of the structure and fluctuation modes of dilute surfactant membranes and other model membrane systems (eventually to include studies in very high applied magnetic fields). The first two projects involve the technique of freely- suspended thin films, which provide an easily accessible realization of two- and three- dimensional XY-type models of phase transitions. Stable films may be obtained over a range of thickness from two to thousands of molecular layers. The second two topics involve multi-component, composite systems. In particular, the third project will aim toward understanding the impact of frozen-in polymer networks, with varying degrees of randomness, on the development of orientational and positional order characteristic of nematic and smectic liquid crystals. Finally, the fourth project has the overall goal of understanding the connections between layer rigidity and curvature, thermal fluctuations, and the rich variety of structures formed by bilayer membranes. (These provide the simplest model systems for biological membranes.)
Facilities available in my laboratory for conducting research include a three-axis optical goniometer, high and low power visible lasers, signal processing equipment (including a digital correlator for studying the spectrum of dynamic fluctuations in liquid crystals and complex fluids), equipment for sensitive optical phase and absorption measurements in both the visible and infrared, a 13 kG wide-gap electromagnet (for liquid crystal studies), an long distance microscope with CCD camera, and sample ovens with high resolution temperature control (including an oven for freely-suspended films). All instruments operate under PC computer control; a Pentium PC is used for data analysis. Additional facilities for polarizing microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and sample synthesis and preparation are available through collaboration with colleagues at the Liquid Crystal Institute. I am also intimately involved in the planning of a user facility for the study of complex fluids in very high (> 300 kG) magnetic fields at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University.

Q: How do you organise your tasks related to a single project? I'm working on a project that has components, components have features, features have bugs. I can't organise these tickets tidily. What kind of tool do you use to keep these things in order?
I'm using Eclipse PDT + mylyn. This tool described above should:

*

*be centralized, mulitple programmer/machine should read the same tasks.

*support subtasks, in order to organise my tickects, assign features to components and so on.

*cheap enough for personal use

*have mylyn connector. Because of this point, the options are very limited.

So the point of my question again:
How do you organise your tasks?

A: I use a combination of two methods, one to track the feature requested for project by the "client", one to tracks bugs and tasks.
I used both scumworks and custom excel sheets + white board to track features and their subtasks. Hard to tell which I prefer, I adapt to my team on this. The paper gives more ownership to the team, and excel does the job for the backlog. Scrumworks is a nice a application, nice to manage backlog, display a pretty board that is very intuitive for the team, much faster for the managing stuff (ex: stats), not expensive as well.
I use devtrack, which is a bug tracking system to track everything else. I use this one but many other bugtracking system do the same. Where it becomes interesting is that we use it to track much more than bugs. In one unified system, we track small tasks and bugs, but also art asset integration, audio integration, effects integration, cutscene integration etc. The trick is to have a way to make a custom flow and then a task can travel from one department to another into the predefined order, everything get tracked, nothing is lost, and it is easy for the people because it is centralized. I like devtrack because of the easy user interface, and the control we have over the flow, transition, access, the ability to link tasks into hierarchy. I heard it is quite expensive, but look out for those qualities when choosing a tracking system.
The most important thing is to be able to adapt your tracking method and not get stuck with one when things change. I use a combination of tool, but this change along the project, in the beginning of a project I use almost exclusively agile tracking type, but when closing on to the end, a database with good tracking becomes better for my team. The combination gives us the best of both world, flexibility for what needs it, and strict tracking for everything else.

A: We use trac at our workplace for developer PM, and its worked good for us.
We also set-upped the agilo plugin for trac.

A: It sounds like less of project management and more of release management. Personally, I'd suggest Trac or Assembla as they're both centered around the concept of tickets that you can group into Milestones. That way you can keep a handle on the dependencies without having most of the overhead of a standard PM system... and even have tickets that don't relate to any particular milestone.

A: We use Redmine. We have previously used Trac, but have found Redmine to be much more intuitive, flexible and user-friendly.
It supports easy creation of new projects without the need to perform any command-line tasks and has a much more steady flow of updates than Trac.
As for the exact answer to your questions related to Redmine:

*

*be centralized, mulitple programmer/machine should read the same tasks.

*

*Redmine is a centralized and supports easy creation of multiple users with ACL's.

*support subtasks, in order to organise my tickects, assign features to components and so on.

*

*Redmine supports projects, subprojects, tracker categories, versions.

*Subtasks are not available out of the box (yet), but there is some community patching being done to make this possible.

*cheap enough to personal use

*

*It's free. All you need is a server and Ruby running on it.

*have mylyn connector. Becouse of this point, the options are very limited.

*

*There are several options to connect Mylyn to Redmine.
A small summary from the Redmine home page:

Redmine is a flexible project
  management web application. Written
  using Ruby on Rails framework, it is
  cross-platform and cross-database.
Redmine is open source and released
  under the terms of the GNU General
  Public License v2 (GPL).
Overview

*

*Multiple projects support

*Flexible role based access control

*Flexible issue tracking system

*Gantt chart and calendar

*News, documents & files management

*Feeds & email notifications

*Per project wiki

*Per project forums

*Time tracking

*Custom fields for issues, time-entries, projects and users

*SCM integration (SVN, CVS, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and Darcs)

*Issue creation via email

*Multiple LDAP authentication support

*User self-registration support

*Multilanguage support

*Multiple databases support

Oh, and did I mention migrating your system from Trac to Redmine is incredibly easy?

J Craniofac Surg. 1996 Jan;7(1):5-11.
An increase in infant cranial deformity with supine sleeping position.
Argenta LC1, David LR, Wilson JA, Bell WO.
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27157-1075, USA.
Abnormalities of the occipital cranial suture in infancy can cause significant posterior cranial asymmetry, malposition of the ears, distortion of the cranial base, deformation of the forehead, and facial asymmetry. Over the past 2 years, we have noted a dramatic increase in the incidence of deformation of the occipital skull in our tertiary referral center. Our patient referral base has not changed appreciably over the past 5 years and patients have been referred from the same primary practitioner base. The timing of this increase correlates closely with the acceptance in our area of recommended changes in sleeping position to supine or side positioning for infants because of the fear of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). A total of 51 infants with occipital cranial deformity, with a mean age of 5.5 months at presentation, have been evaluated and treated by a single craniofacial surgeon in the 16-month period from September 1993 to December 1994. Older infants were treated with continuous positioning by the parent keeping the infant off the involved side. Younger infants and those with poor head control were treated with a soft-shell helmet. Mean timing of initial diagnosis and start of treatment was 5.5 months. Mean duration of helmet for positional treatment was 3.8 months. To date, only 3 of 51 patients have required surgical intervention, and other patients demonstrated spontaneous improvement of all measured parameters. Follow up has ranged from 8 to 24 months. We believe that most occipital plagiocephaly deformities are deformations rather than true cranio-synostoses. Despite varying amounts of suture abnormality evidenced on computed tomographic scans, most deformities can be corrected without surgery. In cases where progression of the cranial deformity occurs, despite conservative therapy, surgical intervention should be undertaken at approximately 1 year of age. The almost universal acceptance in the State of North Carolina of positioning neonates on their backs to avoid SIDS, may well increase the incidence of these deformities in the future.

So it is late tonight as we are back in Page to push on to, no surprise, Valley of the Gods. Our annual pilgrimage. I am looking at the weather which is forecasting 10 to 20 degree cooler temperatures than normal and wondering if I need to get my muffs and winter coat out of storage. What storage? There is none. My mind as I try to be kind to myself and not call it a brain, is a bit scrambled on overload from past day's array of so many faces and voices still resonating as in an empty space. I know it is all going to be alright, Utah awaits us and it will not be too hard to discover new trails and smiles within those dirt roads and rocks which will surround us soon. I can do it, I can energize myself back to a space I left a few days ago.
Now if I could only sort out and discern again the faces behind the names that we have met and have been writing to us these past couple days since we left. I can do that too. I have to take notes throughout such occasions, I rely on my memory too much which also "too much" fails after only a dozen names! I just realized "Facebook" is a big help as I start looking at the photos and realize who is who. It is a plus. I am on it as "Ara Gureghian", amazing technology when a connection is available. The storm is now here, visibility is maybe only a couple hundred feet, Mother Nature is again forcing her way into our lives by sending her message with no reprieve. We are not going anywhere as much as I would like to.
Another day has gone and finally my balance is on an even tilt. It is hard to explain, it is the momentum I have acquired these past years, maybe the lack of it as every step is taken seemingly in slow motion to savor the moments present. There is no time that phases us, only nights and days and the weather. It is I have to admit living on our own terms at all time, and this includes Spirit. I feel as we are back again bonded as we took some short hikes on the beach of Lake Powell today, and him off his leash and myself behind him have been again as one with the increasing ever so much of a connection and a pact stronger by the day as always thinking it could not but is. He is happy, his tail has been wagging. I am happy as his eyes are filled with this inexplicable confirmation of our partnership.
This leads me to go through the images I took at Overland Expo. Not many, the skies white from the low clouds just did not push me hard enough to apply myself. Chatting with so many took over, and yet if nothing else, documents they are here to look back on. Some call it "toys", I would call them a "home". I liked the 4×4 Sportmobile with a popup roof, all solar and diesel powered. No fuel, no propane, a go anywhere, live anywhere vehicle. The big trucks? Well, I went, actually "we" went into the big one, granite counters, marble floor… weight is not an issue she said. Nice, a bit too big I think however for my own taste. Expensive Mercedes 4×4, Range Rovers, Land Rovers, Jeeps, Motorcycles and even a sidecar. Everyone was there represented and more.
I enjoyed listening to Lance Blair, it was a treat, below on the right, an incredible energetic man with a beautiful family which I also met, with no stopping on his tracks helping out the Disabled Explorers. What a great cause for the ones getting there to those magical spaces but suddenly unable to go on while using a regular wheel chair. So sad so much evolves around "money". These are times I wish I would be a millionaire to only give it all away and see the smiles on the faces on the stranded disabled travelers. This Yahoo page has come and gone, it shocked me, a 3 million dollar I-Phone. How many of those $10,000 chairs would one buy? Something is very wrong. I had never met Lance, of course a great name, but as he saw me he shook my hand and told me that as a nurse on the night shift he reads our Journal throughout the quiet times. Amazing.
I had hug from Phil, Phil from "Expedition Awareness". It was of an emotional encounter as his 7 months old Son is showing symptoms of ALD. My Heart was suddenly transported into his as also a reader of us I am one so too familiar with the shoes he has been fitted with. I will have a permanent Logo of his cause up soon and if you have a Blog yourself, as I have never asked such a favor within those past years, this is the "one time" I do, and strongly so. I know what he goes through, I know what his family encounters daily and his non stop passion and forwardness toward this cause besides his full time job is of an incredible one. He is a true Father as I know his Wife is a true Mother. We spoke often when he had a few minutes away from others also supporting him and for moments I could not even talk looking into his eyes, eyes of a reflection so too familiar within my own Life. A gold diamond studded $3 million I-Phone. I think I need so much to go and sit behind that boulder of mine that is awaiting as these reflections become tortures of Life.
Yes, great vehicles, great "all", Overland Expo brought together for all of us to share, look, feel, want maybe, but much more than that, to me has been the "people" met. The ones without a cause understanding our own Journey and speaking about their own, understanding "living" on the road as to climb those human steps we should all thrive for and the ones present "with a cause" needing the help as their own reward will be themselves helping others in much need as my above "quote" says it, lets not end up our Life with regrets as we only have one.
The tent reminded me of "The Oasis"! It is also a Montana Canvas tent. Suddenly I felt as our Oasis was so far, so on the other side of the World, a bit imaginary as this here was more the real World even if so foreign to me for these past years or so. There were portable kitchens, there was cooking, there was no lack of food, specially the Sunday evening Buffet so graciously provided by Overland Expo. That was when I was hoping no one would look at my overfilled plate while rejoining Spirit who was starting to bark going through an anxiety attack while missing me and surrounded by 500 people.
And I forgot the name of "Old Faithfull's" cousin! It belongs to Chris from Eurotech and was the first time also meeting him. He had helped me generously about 10 years ago for some parts and I had never forgotten about his kind gesture. I finally had a chance to thank him personally. Quite a rig as besides selling parts he is quite a fabricator. So this is how it all went. Much learning, exploring the vehicles but also many encounters that would have not happened if not present.

for supplies and clothing to last awhile. Thats just a great idea. And then of course travelling to places when its too wet for normal camping.
The solar powered heat is great. People can do it if they want to.
Ara you bring tears to my eyes… your compassion, your appreciation for others less fortunate than ourselves. I too wish I had a million dollars just to give to everyone we meet who needs just a little help. Take care of yourself Ara, this world needs people like you.
That gathering of vehicles is my version of shopping heaven. I'm glad you had a good time there.
I'm hitting the road on Monday, going to Albuquerque to pick up my new little used trailer, tiny and simple. I'll watch for you and stop if we're in the same area. Then I'm heading north, will slowly work my way up into BC and Alberta via Montana.
I hope this is the summer our paths finally cross.
Ara, Between your photos and the videos posted on facebook, I almost feel as if I made it to the Expo myself! BTW your interview was very touching. It is an honor to know you. Spirit needs a good ear scritching from me, too. Would you please?
Thanks for the pics ara!

SJW war on metal heats up
by Brett Stevens on October 21, 2015
Following the banning of Disma from the Netherlands Deathfest by SJWs, those cuddly political fanatics have attacked again by setting fire to a black metal club in Germany.
As reported in local news, the entrance to the club — originally a tiki-themed club now repurposed to be one of the most important black metal venues in Germany — was set ablaze in the night by SJWs who identified with "Antifa," originally an anti-fascist organization that now works alongside other SJW groups. These groups publicly claimed responsibility for the attack and issued the ominous statement, "This fall we have some catching up what was missed in the last few years!"
Interestingly, Blackland Club was not a Nazi club. It allowed black metal bands to play there and by all accounts, most of the bands who performed at the club were not political in any way. SJWs attacked under the excuse that it provided a platform for Nazi bands, ignoring the fact that most black metal bands have extremist philosophies that make the Nazis look like Williamsburg Democrats. The club became a target because it did not adopt the SJW line that those who do not expressly reject certain beliefs must be destroyed. Some of the "evidence" compiled by SJWs includes that people there wear Burzum tshirts.
This type of phenomenon — a witch hunt organized by an internet hate mob motivated by SJW ideals — was last seen in the Disma debacle where SJWs pushed Disma to apologize for possible pro-Nazi statements by one member. The point of the apology is that it humiliates the person, and shows everyone else a broken and contrite citizen who acknowledges that he has been disciplined, which instills fear in the rest of us of the same happening to us. That is the point of all this SJW scene policing: to create fear and through that, compliance and control. SJWs have made their demands clear: support our ideology or we will destroy your career. This is the power of having an internet lynch mob to deploy against non-conformists.
As political instability in the US and Europe accelerates, we are likely to see more of these clashes as SJWs attempt to unify their ranks. This reveals SJWs are involved in metal only incidentally because their actual purpose is to be involved in politics, and they want to use heavy metal as a propaganda weapon in that fight. This is why their increasingly shrill, intolerant and dogmatic voices are infesting metal, punk and rock as happened when record label Run For Cover Records cut ties with band Whirr over "transphobic" — meaning not fully approving of transsexualism — messages on Twitter:
Last night, the Bay Area band Whirr posted a series of negative tweets about G.L.O.S.S., a punk band whose lead singer is a transgender woman. (The tweets have since been deleted, but an archive can be found at Stereogum.) Among other things, they tweeted, "g.l.o.s.s. Is just a bunch of boys running around in panties making shitty music," and compared G.L.O.S.S. to the Buffalo Bill character from The Silence of The Lambs.
While this is clearly vitriolic, it is not any more vitriolic than what is regularly posted on metal bulletin boards on the internet. But it does provide an opportunity for SJWs to create a "teachable moment" in which they destroy someone's life to remind the rest of us to toe the line or we, too, will be on the chopping block. One label created a religion out of this division, and said, "We have zero interest in working w/ hateful people." That they have in turn created a hateful echo chamber seems like too much thinking for them, but the result is that the metal/punk scenes are polarizing: there are those who are SJW, and there are those who SJWs consider their enemies for not being SJW.
This behavior is not specific to SJWs in metal. Everywhere they go, the commandment is the same: Destroy the unbelievers. If you deny their ideology in public, they will seek you out not to disagree with you, but to try to get you fired and otherwise socially ostracized. It is their one weapon, the threat that they will declare you something the media thinks is bad ("Nazi," "racist," "sexist," "transphobic") whether or not there is any truth to it, and you will be unable to participate in our liberal-leaning society as a result.
In the meantime, refuting a recent SJW attack which claimed that folk metal was plagued by "sexism" and "racism" but never quite showed how that was true, some sources have begun posting an extended list of folk metal bands that are not white, male and pointed toward European mythos:
Amocualli – Aztec folk metal from Mexico
Arkan – Islamic folk/death metal from France
Kartykeia – Hindu/Vedic folk/death metal from Russia
Melechesh – Mesopotamian folk/black metal from Israel (ethnically Assyrian and Armenian) now based in the Netherlands
Myrath – Oriental folk/progressive metal from Tunisia
Rudra – Hindu/Vedic death metal
Skinflint – folk metal from Botswana
Tengger Cavalry – Mongolian folk metal from China
As usual, the SJW story does not add up because SJWs are ideological fanatics and not realistic members of society. Western Civilization continues crashing into the abyss and no one will do anything about that, so they focus on nice low-hanging fruit like convincing all of us to support the right of transsexuals to listen to black metal too, even though no one had ever attempted to deny them that ability. The best way to combat this is to end the perception that SJWs speak in any way about whether someone is "good" or not, and see them for what they are: lonely fanatics in their lonely apartments, raging at the world for not granting them more power.

vOddy says:
"SJWs attacked under the excuse that it provided a platform for Nazi bands, ignoring the fact that most black metal bands have extremist philosophies that make the Nazis look like Williamsburg Democrats."
That's just more motivation for them to burn the place down.
Reasonable people want to fight bad ideas by shining light on them, and destroying them in public with truth and logic.
SJW's want to fight (what they consider to be) bad ideas by hiding them and censoring them.
I don't want to censor muslims, christians, or SJW's. The solution is not less speech, it is more speech; Speech that disarms their nonsense. Let the SJW whine about how only white people are allowed in folk metal – and let us point out the lack of any discriminatory force, and the non white people who enjoy or create folk metal.
Let the christian say that our world is 6000 years old, and let us point out the evidence that shows why that's bullshit.
Let the muslim say that islam is a religion of peace, and let us show through actions taken by muslims, and passages in the koran, why it is not.
Unless they indoctrinate helpless children who can not yet think for themselves, and then censor the opposing view. That's different.
When an ideology needs to censor, it probably stands on a shaky foundation.
If it was solid, then it would able to win in the open light of public discourse. That is why religions censored and silenced when they were powerful.
Let's be real: sentiments, values, or ideologies expressed through black metal are never compatible with the ways of SJWs. It's true for metal in general, but especially black metal.
This place was not a propaganda center for an opposing ideology. It was an open forum in which any one could perform art (which may or may not be inspired by said sentiments, values, or ideologies).
That is enough to warrant its destruction, according to SJWs. Dissonant voices must be silenced – not challenged. This place allowed those voices to speak.
pat redux says:
Blackland is just up the road from me. Over the past few years I saw Pentagram Chile play there, Mystifier, Antediluvian, Dead Congregation and several others. This is fucked up.
Fuck those scumbags. I lived in Berlin for years, a stone's throw away from this place. Spent a few good nights there too. The staff and people there are gorgeous people. I'm fed up with this fascist nonsense perpetrated by idiotic virtue signallers. Brashly having the "right" opinions first; being a decent, interpersonal human being second. Even Antifa's name betrays this hypocrisy.
People need to be taught tolerance. Real tolerance. As Brett deep down knows, we've inherited a miracle society but the people keep fucking it up.
Tired of people behaving like having a difference of opinion with someone, or being offended by someone, is like being given a broken leg.
Brett Stevens says:
As Brett deep down knows, we've inherited a miracle society but the people keep fucking it up.
We've inherited a miracle world and a history of great things, and miraculous technology, perhaps, but we're living in a dying civilization. Rome 2.0 is collapsing. That doesn't mean we can't turn it around or do better with relatively few actions.
Ruby, The King of Gemstones and a Hierophant says:
In order to be tolerant, you need to have POWER and you need to be STRONG.
SJW's are WEAK, so they only have FORCE.
POWER comes from the embrace of REALITY.
POWER is INFALLIBLE.
Force is fallible because you are denying reality, the fact that you play a role in it and that YOU HAVE TO PLAY YOUR ROLE.
Anything other than REALITY is FANTASY.
There is no such thing as FREE WILL in any shape or form WHATSOEVER. SJW's think free will is real.
YOU ARE NOT FREE, YOU ARE A SLAVE…to reality. Embrace your slavery!
Embrace SLAVERY to become a MASTER?! Yes, life is nothing but a PARADOX! :)
The only thing for you to do is…..LIVE!
…and ENSLAVE yourself to REALITY!
Free Craig Pillard says:
Vox Day's recent e-book on SJWs is definitely worth a read.
Ruby, The King of Gemstones says:
Where are all the people who were saying that the SJW's don't matter and wanted Brett to stop talking about them?
Don't you see what is happening?
This is WAR. This is METAL. This is what you were made for.
Are you going to sit on the sidelines and complain about SJW's, or are you going to get involved and try to stop things before it gets too far, like what BRETT has been doing here?
Ignore the SJW's as long as you want, until one day you have your Incantation shirt on and some Antifa try and jump you in the street…They WILL jump you because they are too weak to fight one on one…Or maybe a cop will arrest you because of your Burzum shirt…
I remember I said that it could get so bad that they will scan your computers to see if you have METAL on them or they may look for people wearing bandshirts and lock them up, and some said I was out of my mind. The infastructure is ALREADY HERE for these things…
SJW's were CREATED by the government, they are no accident. Did you see how Anita Sarkeassan and the other girl were talking to the fucking UNITED NATIONS to CENSOR the internet? Once again, BRETT was WARNING YOU.
People really don't understand what and how important METAL really is, and why the "establishment" hate it so much…
When the rubber hits the road, the wheat WILL be separated from the chaff.
Are you FALSE?
"until one day you have your Incantation shirt on and some Antifa try and jump you in the street"
Actually I've heard that Antifa(ggots) have been attacking kids going home from folk metal shows for wearing Mjolnirs and Celtic crosses around their necks.
Antifa(ggots) are only "strong" because a pack of them jump on you when you aren't looking, they're cowards. The only way to retaliate against this is to find out their HQ and blow it up, preferably with them still inside.
morbideathscream says:
Your post is spot on. I don't think sjw's are created by the government, but they are products of our liberal media and educational system and serve as useful idiots for our governments agenda. Certain ones like Anita obviously have some political power.
They most definitely can outlaw metal. Look what's going on with the confederate flag, they're trying to make that illegal. You practically need an assault rifle to fly the rebel flag. And there's alot more rednecks flying rebel flags than there are black or death metallers. You just might be fighting for your right to wear a metal shirt.
matters says:
To rub sand in the vaginas of SWJ's, those who support Metalgate should have a "national wear your Burzum shirt to work day." Whether you like Burzum or not.

If the lowest 90% of humanity croaked, think how far we'd get in the next round of evolution.
discodjango says:
A few weeks back I saw an Antifa sticker which said: "Saufen gegen Deutschland". This means "drinking against Germany". Yes, they are THAT stupid. I loathe them.
Dualist says:
Oh, the irony of a meeting-place being burnt to the ground because it represents BURZUM….
This is the natural consequence of people being told they are virtuous simply because they hold the right opinions. Racism is the new sin against the Holy Ghost. But being raised in modernity's spiritual vacuum has stunted their moral development so they genuinely believe they are the virtuous JUST because they don't hold any wicked views. These people will often be heard talking about rights, seldom about responsibilities (unless it's an excuse to show they have the right views by buying free-trade artisanal coffee etc.)
The problem here isn't their methods, this time. Didn't these people simply ignore the democratic process and take direct action against what was, in their opinions, a direct threat to society's health? Just like Varg did? Though this is being far too generous as none of them actually care about immigrants' safety etc. and they only committed the arson so they could TELL people they had, to look cool ie. virtuous (in their world these words are now almost interchangeable). Either way, the real problem is the zeitgeist that led to them having such WRONG opinions.
There is certainly a time for burning, if the situation is dire enough, and a burning would fix it. But never for what is spoken alone. Certainly not for artistic expression. And by the gods, definitely not for allowing a variety of values to be expressed, including disliked ones.

Pomona Begins Construction on New Museum of Art

Last Thursday, Pomona College began construction on its new art museum. The museum will be located on College Avenue next to Pomona's South Campus, across the street from the current art museum. The Renwick House, a historic building built in 1900, was moved across the street in order to clear the site.
Construction is expected to last 18-20 months, according to the Claremont Courier. One-third of the new building will be underground to keep the building's height appropriate for the streetscape.
Kathleen Howe, the current museum's director, said she is looking forward to the new building.
"The new facility allows us larger and more ambitious exhibitions and loan shows, multiple exhibitions simultaneously, and more opportunity for faculty members and students to curate exhibitions from the museum's permanent collection," she said.
Howe and her associates have already begun planning for when 13,000 works of art will be transported to the new site.
"From the start, the emphasis has been on creating a beautiful building that complements its neighbors in scale and maintains the rhythm of the green spaces of the street and campus," she said.

Boot Sector Virus: This type of virus infects the master boot record of the disk and spreads onto the disk, when the operating system is loaded into the memory of the computer, that is, when the OS starts booting the computer.
Parasitic Virus: This is the most common form of virus which attaches itself to executable(.exe) files and keeps replicating. It can also search for more executable files to attach itself to and infect them.
Memory-resident Virus: It first attaches itself inside the main memory(or RAM) and then infects every executable file that is inside the memory and being currently executed.
Stealth Virus: The most intelligent virus-it can protect itself by anti-virus software detecting them.
Polymorphic Virus: A virus that keeps changing its identity(also called signature) every time it is executed, making it difficult to detect.
Metaphoric Virus: In addition to what Polymorphic Virus does, this virus keeps rewriting itself, making it even harder to detect.

The mitochondrial import receptor Tom70 (translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane 70) interacts with chaperone–preprotein complexes through two domains: one that binds Hsp70 (heat-shock protein 70)/Hsc70 (heat-shock cognate 70) and Hsp90, and a second that binds preproteins. The oligomeric state of Tom70 has been controversial, with evidence for both monomeric and homodimeric forms. In the present paper, we report that the functional state of human Tom70 appears to be a monomer with mechanistic implications for its function in mitochondrial protein import. Based on analytical ultracentrifugation, cross-linking, size-exclusion chromatography and multi-angle light scattering, we found that the soluble cytosolic fragment of human Tom70 exists in equilibrium between monomer and dimer. A point mutation introduced at the predicted dimer interface increased the percentage of monomeric Tom70. Although chaperone docking to the mutant was the same as to the wild-type, the mutant was significantly more active in preprotein targeting. Cross-linking also demonstrated that the mutant formed stronger contacts with preprotein. However, cross-linking of full-length wild-type Tom70 on the mitochondrial membrane showed little evidence of homodimers. These results indicate that the Tom70 monomers are the functional form of the receptor, whereas the homodimers appear to be a minor population, and may represent an inactive state.
