Camps Aktion Reinhard Death Camps
Aktion Reinhard Death Camps
Nophoto
Operation Reinhard: Prolog
"The largest single massacre action of the Holocaust, Operation Reinhard, which lasted twenty-one months, from March 1942 to November 1943, was carried out by, and accomplished according to the plans of, the Nazi extermination machine. It was an integral and substantial part of the overall plan for the `Final Solution of the Jewish Problem.'
"The commanders of Operation Reinhard, Globocnik [page not ready], Wirth [page not ready], and the SS men subordinate to them, succeeded in creating an efficient yet simple system of mass extermination by using relatively scanty resources. In each of the death camps — in Belzec [page not ready], in Sobibor [page not ready], and in Treblinka — a limited number of 20 to 35 Germans were stationed for purposed of command and supervision, and about 90 to 130 Ukrainians were responsible for guard duties. All the physical work of the extermination process was imposed on 700 to 1,000 Jewish prisoners who were kept in each camp.
"The layout and structure of the camps were adapted to serve the extermination system and procedure. they were relatively small and compact, which enabled permanent and strict control over the entire area and all activities in the camp. The material used to build the camps — lumber and bricks — and the means used for extermination — a simple motor vehicle and ordinary petrol — were readily available in the immediate vicinity. Local workers and Jewish prisoners built the camps. All these elements made the entire operation independent of outside and distant factors. … The killing system, as developed by Wirth, enabled the murder of tens of thousands of Jews every day in the three death camps under his jurisdiction.
"The ruse continued even after the Jews arrived in the camps. Almost all of the victims went to the gas chambers believing that these were indeed baths. Secrecy, deception, and disguise on the one hand, and little chance for rescue or for hiding among the local population on the other hand, enabled the Nazis to keep their extermination machine running smoothly.
"But those Jews who were selected for work in the camps and who were aware of what was going on there did not give up. Prisoners in Sobibor and Treblinka succeeded, despite the strict control and surveillance under which they were kept, in carrying out individual escapes and in staging an uprising accompanied by a mass escape. The uprisings ensured the survival of hundreds of prisoners and revealed the secrets of the death camps to the world. These survivors were the main witnesses at the Sobibor and Treblinka trials in the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as at other trials. The perpetrators did not succeed in their attempts to bury and burn the truth of the camps together with the victims.
" BELZEC [page not ready], SOBIBOR [page not ready], & TREBLINKA: An integral part of the Nazi killing machine in occupied Poland – these camps served one purpose, and one purpose only – the total destruction of the Jewish people.
"The Nazi leaders adopted and executed a deliberate and massive campaign of genocide which has been documented beyond dispute and is accepted by an entire world, excepting only those Neo-Nazi elements cloaking their continuing hatred of the Jewish people in pseudo-historical nonsense.
"The existence of Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, Maidanek [page not ready], Chelmno [page not ready] and others is beyond question. The purpose for which these camps were created is also beyond question.
"Others have pointed out that any system of justice can be said to be flawed, in that it represents only the reality of its time. I am not here to argue that point. Instead, I provide enough information for those who wish to pursue it to their own conclusions – in this case, the legal records of the German people, specifically as they relate to the three camps noted at the beginning of this article:
"Nazi criminals who served in these camps stood trial in West Germany. The trial of the SS men who had served in Belzec was held in Munich in January 1965. The primary defendant was Josef Oberhauser; there were six others. The trial of the SS men who had served in Sobibor was held in Hagen and lasted fifteen months, from September 1965 until December 1966. The leading defendent was Kurt Bolender; there were eleven others. The first Treblinka trial, at which ten of the SS men who served in the camp were broght to trial, amonth them Kurt Franz, the deputy commander, was held in Dusseldorf between October 1964 and August 1965. The second Treblinka trial, at which Franz Stangl, the commander of the camp, was tried, was also held in Dusseldorf, from September 1969 to December 1970." *

Q: What have to be normally distributed: groups or whole sample? It is a general and maybe basic question, but it will help me to avoid a mistake. To test the dependence of continuous variable on nominal with parametric test (t-test, ANOVA), "the data has to be normally distributed" (distribution have to be not much violated from normal).
But I don't clearly understand: I have to test the normality of the continuous data together (whole sample) or the normality of data in every single group?
And if my groups have small sizes (n=4-6), and therefore I fail to reject null, does this indicate a permission to use parametric methods?
Can anyone provide me a link to some good examples of statistical (biomedical) hypothesis testing with R (google did not helped)?

A: @GregSnow has a really excellent answer here, which I would like to augment with 2 small points.  First, while he's right that only the normality of the residuals matters, we can ask the question 'matters for what'?  Everyone who has taken stats 101 leaves with the impression that normality is crucial, and that's not really true.  The Gauss-Markov theorem tells us that our data do not have to be normal; they simply should be symmetrical and homogeneous.  The normality of the residuals is only relevant for the confidence intervals / p-values to be accurate, and even then, only really necessary when sample sizes are small (as @GregSnow points out).  When homogeneity of variance obtains, the estimates will be unbiased and efficient whether the residuals are normally distributed or not.  My second small addition is that non-parametric tests may not be required with small samples and non-normal residuals--bootstrapping is also a viable option.

A: Generally it is the residuals that need to be normally distributed.  This implies that each group is normally distributed, but you can do the diagnostics on the residuals (values minus group mean) as a whole rather than group by group.  It is possible (and even common) that the data will be approximately normal within each group, but since the group means differ the overall dataset will be quite non-normal, but you can still use normal theory tests for this case.
Note that the real question is not "exactly normal", but rather "normal enough for the given problem".  With small datasets the question of normality is the most important, but you have low power to detect non-normality (unless it is very extreeme), with large datasets the Central Limit Theorem kicks in so your data does not need to be that normal, but you have high power to detect small departures from normality.  So when doing formal tests of normality as a condition for doing t-tests or anova you are either in the situation where you have a meaningless answer to a meaningful question, or you have a meaningful answer to a meaningless question (there may be some middle size where both are meaningful, but I expect that the middle range is really where both are meaningless).
So, no just because a small sample size does not reject the null does not mean that it is safe to use normal theory methods.  Knowledge about the source of the data and some diagnostic plots are likely to be more useful in that decision, or if you are worried about non-normality just go straight to the non-parametric tests.
If you really feel the need for a p-value testing exact normality then you can use the SnowsPenultimateNormalityTest function in the TeachingDemos package for R (but be sure to read the help page).
Another option for testing "normal enough" if you need more than the diagnostic plots is to use the methodology in:

 Buja, A., Cook, D. Hofmann, H., Lawrence, M. Lee, E.-K., Swayne,
 D.F and Wickham, H. (2009) Statistical Inference for exploratory
 data analysis and model diagnostics Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2009
 367, 4361-4383 doi: 10.1098/rsta.2009.0120

(the vis.test function in the TeachingDemos package of R is one implementation of this).
The impartant thing to take away is that knowledge about the process that produced your data is much more important than the output from some program/algorythm written by someone who knows/knew much less about your data and question than you do.

Home Politics AFC not responsible for non-passage of UG subvention – Hughes
AFC not responsible for non-passage of UG subvention – Hughes
L – R: AFC Executive Member, Beverly Alert; AFC Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan and Cathy Hughes. [iNews' Photo]
[www.inewsguyana.com] – The Alliance For Change (AFC) says it will not take the fall for the non-passage of the $450 million allocation to the University of Guyana Student Loan Subvention and reiterated its support for the passage of the subvention.
At a press conference on Thursday (May 29), Party Executive, Cathy Hughes said the subvention was not approved after the PPP Government refused to delink it from allocations of NCN and GINA. However, Government refused and held its position that the entire line item be put to the vote, during which the AFC and APNU voted against.
The Party said it further made clear its willingness to support the non-contentious allocations and requested that it be brought in a Supplementary Financial Paper.
The AFC is blaming Government for the present situation where students cannot access the low interest loans but said it can be resolved now but it is up to Government.
The AFC also suggested that the University of Guyana through its Vice-Chancellor, student body, staff and lecturers press Government to return to the National Assembly immediately with a Supplementary Paper for their Subvention. [Tracey Khan – Drakes]

A gunman at a Phoenix hospital is in custody after he barricaded himself inside the facility's emergency room, according to police.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Trent Crump said the suspect was contained in a bathroom inside Phoenix Baptist Hospital's emergency room early Monday morning. He was taken into custody following negotiations with a SWAT team.
Crump said the man, who is believed to be in his 40s, entered the hospital around 2 a.m. local time, Fox 10 News reports.
Crump said the suspect brandished a knife as police approached him. Authorities were able to remove the knife from the man, but he then pulled out a gun. The man ran into a bathroom inside the hospital's emergency room and locked himself in.
All emergency room workers were evacuated and there were no patients there when the man entered the area, CBS 5 reports. Police told the station that the man was acting strangely when he entered the building.
All other patients inside the hospital were held in an isolated area that was secured by police, according to ABC 15.


View cart "Grass Finished Beef Sampler pack – 30 lbs. (best value, fits in refrigerator freezer)" has been added to your cart.
Taking orders for 2016 and 2017. $3.25/lb by Hanging Weight (weight of carcass after slaughter, but before cutting and wrapping). This is an item that is usually an "advance" order. Depending upon the production schedule status at the time of order, your bulk beef may be one that will have to be scheduled for processing a few weeks or months in the future.
This option is applicable to a half or whole beef purchase and requires a $300 deposit before delivery to the processor and full payment before picking up.
Processing fees are paid directly to the processor by you. A 1200 lb. steer should yield a hanging weight between 600 lb and 710 lbs.
Note: Hanging weight is not the final weight that you will bring home. The final weight that you bring home is quite variable and depends upon how you have your beef cut and specifically on how much boneless product you request.
Your beef will dry age 14-21 days. Processing charges will run around $500 – $600 for your beef and can vary depending upon your cutting instructions.
This option may give you the best overall value, but can be frustrating and confusing if you are not familiar with meat processing and the variations in cutting practices. If you wish to explore this option, we will be glad to assist and advise you with cutting and wrapping options. Your ultimate satisfaction is very dependent upon how your product is cut and wrapped.
NOTE: You are paying only the $300 deposit, not the full price. Once the beef is delivered to the processor and the hanging weight is known, your full bill will be calculated and the deposit subtracted from the total owed.

WW1 100th anniversary is a time for reflection
November 1, 2018 Glenn Asano History
The memorial plaque at Leaside Gardens.
Canada was ranked the second "Best Country" in the world for 2018 (usnews.com). Canada typically fares well in these global assessments when compared with other nations and we have much to be proud of. In this particular version, many factors were measured to come to the overall conclusion and two of those factors jumped out at me: Quality of Life (ranked first) and Citizenship (ranked fourth).
Fittingly, Sunday, November 11th will mark the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 and the guns on the Western Front fell silent. According to Veterans Affairs Canada, more than 1.65 million Canadians served in the First and Second World Wars and 115,000 made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada – because they believed our values and beliefs were in danger and needed to be preserved.
The quality of life, the pride of citizenship and the freedoms we enjoy today might not exist without the sacrifices of those individuals and their loved ones who have gone before us.
The men from Leaside
Seventeen men who served in World War II are honoured at the Leaside Memorial Community Gardens. Their average age was 23, the youngest 19 and the oldest 32. They were far from home and gave their lives for their country. At home they lived within two kilometres of each other. Several were neighbours. Two lived right beside one another on Sutherland Drive, two came from Rumsey Road, and three lived on Cameron Crescent.
There are stories of bravery: a pilot with the famed 'Demon' Squadron known for attacking enemy shipping; at home a sales representative for Browns' Bread. There are stories of courage: a pilot remaining in the air while comrades parachuted to safety before succumbing in the face of a severe storm; at home a University of Toronto honours English student and youth leader at the church. The historical records also include letters to and from home that underscore the gravity of the time. Feelings of anxiety, concern, sorrow and love.
For those with the proclivity, such as my esteemed colleague Elaine Snider – a 45-year Leasider – the details of these remarkable stories can be readily accessed, allowing those who served to be remembered and duly honoured. Elaine used the online search tools offered by the Canadian Virtual War Memorial, as well as ancestry.ca, which now includes "attestation papers" that were personal information forms Canadian soldiers filled out during the enlistment process.
It takes a village to raise a great town
The old proverb "it takes a village to raise…" refers to the challenge of facing a difficult task. No doubt times of conflict are difficult, and it should be noted that it is not only those who enlist that make sacrifices or rise to the occasion in support of an immense effort. Last year, Jane Pitfield wrote an article for Leaside Life highlighting a few of the Town of Leaside's noteworthy contributions in both world wars. For example: 4,000 were employed in the town to efficiently produce ammunition; the Leaside Aerodrome was built to train pilots, with 600 eventually stationed there; 7,500 employees produced over $220 million worth of sophisticated equipment providing planes with radar and enabling them to fly at night; local residents proactively supported the Leaside RCAF Squadron based in England, which recruited heavily from Leaside, to name a few. Leasiders are extremely active in our collective support of the overall Canadian effort in the two world wars. As a result, today we should be grateful to have a country and importantly a 'town' like Leaside we can be proud of.
Sometimes we need to be reminded to remember
Opportunities to pay our respect to the generations of Canadians who have put their lives on the line in the cause of peace and freedom around the world are countless. There are reminders everywhere if you consciously look…the back of the $20 bill, page 22-23 in your passport, the plaque on the east perimeter wall (near the flag stands) when you're at the rink watching a Leaside home game, a poppy…But in our modern, fast-paced lives there just never seems to be a moment to catch a breath. It's understandable, yet unacceptable. To paraphrase Veterans Affairs Canada: By remembering all who have served, we recognize their willingly-endured hardships taken upon themselves so that we could live in peace – and we should acknowledge it is our responsibility to ensure that the peace they fought hard to achieve will endure. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of World War 1, it is hard to believe that no more than a gentle reminder would be required. Lest we forget.
So, what can we do before Remembrance Day? Here is a short and easy list to start:
1. Buy a poppy and wear it proudly
2. Visit the Leaside Memorial Community Gardens and pay your respects by viewing the plaque honouring these 17 men from Leaside
3. Send Remembrance e-Cards to friends and family http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/get-involved/e-cards
4. Visit the Veterans Canada Affairs "Ways to Remember" website and review: www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/get-involved/ways-to-remember
For the ambitious, how about a bonus activity? Read the poem In Flanders Fields, which was written in 1915 by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. I'm sure you know this poem by heart, but let's all read it another time. Out of respect for the past, and for the sake of our future.

deep breath, thankful for feeling the breath inside my being.
An autumn day gives way to the feeling of winter. In the air the scent of someone cozy next to a warm fire.
I look out the window waiting for my lunch, taking in the orange and yellow leaves against a perfectly grey sky.
Rain shall come soon to wash away the impurities, wipe the slate clean to begin anew.
There is something soothing about ripping pages out of an old spiral notebook, keeping a few pages to revisit, and having more blank pages to continue filling.
There is something soothing about finishing this task, picking out the loose pieces that detach and stick to the spirals.
There is something Zen-like about calmly picking away the trailing pieces, piling them into a small mound, then rolling it all together to set free–to make way for the new.
I took a break from my audible subscription for a few months, but tonight while I was preparing dinner–a big pot of chicken soup with veggies and rice–I wanted to also be reading a book, so while the chicken was cooking away, I went to the audible website, renewed my subscription, browsed through some possibilities, listened to a few samples, and settled on The Glass Kitchen by Linda Francis Lee, narrated by Julia Whelan.
In some ways I ask myself: am I having trouble being in the moment itself, washing and chopping the vegetables, giving the soup a stir, washing dishes. This thought didn't actually occur to me until dinner was complete–the eating and the cooking part–and I found myself putting fresh sheets on the bed, but first I reached for my wireless headphones, same as when I was cooking, and I returned to the story while I did this task.
Even though I had the story on, I felt as though I was able to be more thoughtful with making up the bed. I wasn't rushing. I patiently pulled the duvet cover down over the down comforter, having to go back and forth to each side of the bed, pulling down, down, down, until it was snuggled inside. Then I fastened the ends. It felt like I was very present in the moment, with the story in the background–a story that ties into my dinner preparations and involves a woman with the sense of knowing that is expressed through her food.
A bouquet of thoughts swirls around in my head. I'm taking a break from my Geology homework to come to the page.
I feel like I've had a few synchronistic moments that have led me back on a path. It's funny how sometimes, when we knew something was available to us when we were looking for something else entirely, we forget it when we're not looking for what we need. In this case, I'm referring simply to pursuing other online community college options to complete classes that were not offered locally or that were only offered during certain terms.
This nudge came in the form of a person who had just completed taking several accounting courses online through various community colleges. His goal is to obtain his CPA, while my goal is simply to re-take a college accounting 1 course to refresh the foundation material and take it from there. The good news is the college is on the quarter system. I wasn't planning on taking two courses this term. I'm looking forward to the class. It begins on Monday. I've already received the group email from the instructor and I love his attitude. He seems upbeat, organized, encouraging. I'm also looking forward to brushing up on the material and getting a good grip on the fundamentals.
So when I saw the Angel Words book, it resonated with me and made me want to focus on the positive and to see the positive all the way through in as many areas of my life as possible. I feel so much better when I'm upbeat and optimistic, and besides my tendency to worry, I am pretty much an upbeat person.
I didn't buy the book, but I did take something from it. It's always nice to have reminders to set us back on the right track.
I feel like I'm on a roulette wheel with my thoughts and writing. The ball spins and spins, like my mind, creating possibilities, memories, recalling memories, creating new memories, recording observations, but with this wheel, the numbers become placeholders for words and thoughts; each one an entry point into a place of exploration. Only, these many spinning possibilities keep spinning; the wheel becomes stuck with possibilities.
This morning, as the wheel turned, a book was my entry point. Just reading a couple of pages was enough for that slight shift, just enough to awaken a sort of luck to awaken my writing muscles a little bit further, flexing them in a way that sent a message that you will write these two words down and make a sketch and you will come back to this later and you will post this to your blog journal.
Entry point. Those two little words led me to a roulette wheel and what I was actually reading had nothing to do with anything, but something in that particular moment in time clicked.
And now many hours later, as I enjoy my lunch break, taking spoonfuls of delicious food, then returning to my notebook to continue with the morning spark, I am on that wheel; my entry point is right there–right here; always there.
Writing and posting to my blog journal is good for my soul.
Even when something ails me, I need to push through it. Pushing through can only bring my body's equilibrium back to a place of balance. These things I know, yet countless times, the words stay in a certain limbo, like the bouncing ball that can't find its place, slips into the slot and out again, finally settling on a random place on the wheel.
And is it really so random?
Wasn't it supposed to happen at this exact time and place? Or perhaps it had enough time commingling, jetting this way and that–when, the moment you look away, there it appears: A sense of order, of opening and closing–a pulse of life that cannot be contained, a sense of spinning, that spins and spins and spins until it can spin no more and must find a place to land, but only when the self disappears into the background.
And then before your eyes, it slips into the lucky number, the words fall into place, the entry point of many open up and you walk right in, tentative at first, then you reach the end; and you know the wheel will be there, always there when you're ready, only you won't know when you're ready, but something deep inside of you that is outside of yourself will know and you will be there to answer.
Well, Monday, here you are again—a start to the five days that lead to Sunday. I've gotten used to you. I don't dread you any longer. I try to find the joy in you and your other six brothers and sisters. Today, though, dear Monday, I'd like to have an extra day—just one more. I know this isn't possible and that I must begin motivating myself to get out the door.
These past few days, weeks, months, I've jotted down little something's in my private notebooks and journals, both of the paper variety and the electronic. I've had ideas come to me, things that I want to write about. I have starts—that's a step in the right direction. All the little bits and scraps, though, have added up to so many directions and pieces that it becomes a challenge to decide where I want to go or if what's there is enough.
And sometimes, like a record that skips and stays in the same spot for a time, that's where I find myself. I don't think it's a bad thing, really. I know that when it's time the lever will be jiggled and the skipping and repeating will subside. It's just that I'm aware of it and being aware of it brings a sense of self-consciousness. At the same time, writing it out here, will release me for the time being; it may even cause more self-consciousness. It's all part of the process—that is one of my mantras—and I can't help coming back to it over and over again.
It rained last night, Monday, while I was sleeping. It rained and rained until this morning; and right now, I can see the sun bursting through the back window. It's tempting me to come outside, to smell the freshness that rain brings. I suppose this morning, Monday, I would like to stay cuddled up with a book, write some more, drink some tea because I've had my fill of coffee for the morning. I would like to know what I'm preparing for dinner and I have something in mind, but nothing concrete, nothing that jazzes me, that beckons me into the mindset of wanting to be in kitchen. I want the kitchen to grab me, twirl me around and make me dizzy with joy.
Well, Monday, thanks for listening. It's time for me to go to work now. It will be a fine day.
Monday, Let's go have a Yummy Day!

[ENVIRONMENT ★]
(P1) Did you miss the super blood moon on Sunday night? Don't worry! STARGAZERS and photographers around the world have shared images of the rare, beautiful eclipse.
(P2) People in the United States, Europe, Africa and western Asia viewed the moon on Sunday night or early Monday. The event occurred on the U.S. east coast at 10:11 p.m. ET (2:11 a.m. GMT), and lasted about an hour.
(P3) Here's what you need to know about the cosmic event.
(P4) What is a super moon eclipse?
(P5) A super moon happens when a full moon reaches the closest point to Earth in its orbit. The orbit is not a perfect circle, so one point, called the perigee, is closest. At this point, the moon is only 225,000 miles from Earth. That's what makes the moon look about 14% larger and 30% brighter in the sky. A full lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon line up, with Earth directly between the moon and the sun. The moon, completely in Earth's shadow, takes on a reddish TINT. A super moon eclipse is what happens when these two events occur at the same time.
(P6) How frequently does a super moon eclipse occur?
(P7) Super moons or lunar eclipses by themselves are not rare. But the two occur together very infrequently. Since 1900, a super moon eclipse has only happened five other times—1910, 1928, 1946, 1964, and 1982. The next one will happen in 2033.
(P8) Why did the moon look reddish?
(P9) The reddish tint was a result of light being SCATTERED through Earth's atmosphere and cast back toward the surface of the moon. Only light that passed through our atmosphere reached the moon. Since the Earth's atmosphere traps blue light, it acts like a filter, only reflecting the more reddish light onto the moon. That color can change based on how much dust is in the Earth's atmosphere during the eclipse.
(P10) The red hue has earned lunar eclipses the nickname Blood Moon. "You're basically seeing all of the sunrises and sunsets across the world, all at once, being reflected off the surface of the moon," NASA scientist Dr. Sarah Noble told the New York Times.

Do you enjoy looking at the night sky? Have you ever owned a TELESCOPE?

Besides the moon, do you know what the brightest object in the night sky is? (Hint: It is also close to earth.)
Many romantic songs mention the moon. Why is that?

MANY UK SCIENCE TEACHERS PLAN TO QUIT


SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The health information technology program at Springfield Technical Community College was awarded accreditation, a big step forward for an area of study that can help hospital workers like Pamela Rau advance in their careers.
Professor Tracey McKethan, left, department chair, health information technology, and Kristin Audette, a program graduate.
Her next step is to take a certification exam to become a Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT). She also hopes to earn a bachelor's degree in health care administration.
But her academic journey started with STCC's Health Informatics and Information Management (HIIM) program, which awards degrees in health information technology. On Dec. 20, the two-year-old program received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM).
Accreditation, a tool for assuring academic quality, shows that the program meets a certain minimum standard. A graduate of the accredited HIIM program at STCC becomes eligible to take professional certification exams.
Tracey A. McKethan, department chair and professor of health information technology, said the program went through a rigorous process involving an on-site review by accreditors and met 33 standards.
"There are no other programs like this in western or central Massachusetts or in northern Connecticut," McKethan said, noting that STCC's program has a 100 percent graduation rate.
The HIIM program prepares students, who are awarded degrees in health information technology, for certification and practice as registered health information technicians. The program has transfer agreements with four-year institutions, which means students can apply their credits from STCC to pursue bachelor's degrees. Master's programs also are available.
The technicians typically work at hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care facilities, mental health centers or large medical practices. As the custodians of patient medical records, the technicians must be able to translate complex data into understandable, interesting and simplified information for the general public.
According to the American Health Information Management Association, professionals holding the RHIT credential ensure quality of medical records by verifying their completeness, accuracy and proper entry into computer systems. Technicians use data to improve patient care or control costs. Some might work as coders, which involves analyzing the medical information and coding diagnoses and procedures in the patient record to allow the hospital to get reimbursed appropriately. Some coders can work remotely from home.
McKethan said RHIT professionals don't interact with patients. Instead, they mostly work on computers, sifting through regulations and ensuring compliance with laws. They do consult with doctors and other health care professionals. Their critically important work might include reporting data to cancer registries and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
About one-third of McKethan's students are workers like Rau who are seeking to earn a degree and advance in their careers. Most of the other students enroll in the program seeking to make a career change.
"This is a nice program for incumbent workers who are already in health care, but are looking to move to the next level. They know that a lack of a degree and a credential are holding them back," McKethan said.
Kristin Audette, of Springfield, was working as a pharmacy technician when she heard about the STCC health information technology degree.
Edith Santana, 31, of Springfield, is currently enrolled in the program. Santana works as a health information management clerk at Shriners Hospitals for Children, under the supervision of Rau.
Santana said she would recommend the STCC program to anyone interested in pursuing a career in health information technology.
For more information, call the admissions office at (413) 755-3333 or visit www.stcc.edu/apply. Fall applications are due by April 30.
Founded in 1967 and located on 35 acres of the Springfield Armory National Historic Site, STCC is a major resource for the economic vitality of Western Massachusetts. As the only technical community college in Massachusetts, STCC, an Achieving the Dream Leader College, offers a variety of career programs unequalled in the state. STCC's highly regarded transfer programs in business, engineering, liberal arts, science and technology continue to provide the most economical options for students pursuing a four-year degree. With an annual enrollment of more than 8,500 day, evening, weekend and online students, STCC is a vibrant campus rich in diversity.

Heritage railways going to town!
5th May 2017 Sam Hewitt Editor's Intro
Forget all the bluster about to the general election and Brexit: what is making Britain truly great again is the heritage railway sector!
In the past month, attention has again focused on the East Coast Main Line, where a succession of steam, diesel and electric speed records were set, the latest being 101mph recorded by A1 Pacific Tornado on a 90mph overnight proving run.
It was the first time in 50 years that a steam locomotive reached the magic ton in the UK, and what is even more remarkable, it was a first by an engine that was not built by or for a major railway company, but by a group of enthusiasts who for many years were persistently told it was impossible.
I have long maintained that Tornado is to the 21st century what Flying Scotsman – which reached 100mph on November 30, 1934, was to the 20th. However, the world's most famous steam locomotive of all time was by no means ready to hand over its many-jewelled crown to the young pretender
Before April was out, yet more global transport history was made on the route. A unique spectacle saw four trains – one headed by Flying Scotsman – run in staggered formation in parallel down 10 miles of the route southbound into York. Intended to promote Virgin Trains' new Azuma units which are due to enter service in 2018, the spectacle was watched by – and inspired – millions across the globe after being captured on film both on the ground and from helicopters.
Away from the main line, the heritage sector is pulling out all the stops to boost the nation's tourist economy, with several towns set to be added to the steam railway map. A phenomenal response to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's £1.25 million Broadway extension share issue means that trains will be running into the tourist honeypot next year, giving the line a meaningful northern destination.
June 13 will see the Swanage Railway revivalists' dream of more than four decades finally realised, when their first timetabled trains into Wareham run.
In Wales, the Llangollen Railway is making rapid progress with building a new western terminus at Corwen Central, at the end of one of the most beautiful scenic standard gauge lines in Europe. Corwen in a traditional Welsh town waiting to be 'discovered' by new generations of visitors rather than being passed through in seconds by motorists on the A5, and with a major attraction now in its midst, has everything to play for.
The railway has launched a share issue to raise £370,000 to complete the station and a run-round loop. The issue, like that of the G/WR, richly deserves support from enthusiasts all across the country, and once completed, will see the heritage line linking two towns for the first time, thereby creating a major addition to the sector's portfolio.
Again, Llangollen's new share issue is a rallying cry for everyone to get on board another big one, and having seen the development for myself, implore our readers to help in any way they can.

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. is an American biotechnology company based in Pearl River, New York. The company develops therapies that improve neurological function in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorders. Acorda Therapeutics manufactures and markets the drugs Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder) and Ampyra (dalfampridine) in the United States.

Products

Ampyra (dalfampridine)
Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder)

Inbrija is administered by inhalation and is indicated for the intermittent treatment of off episodes in patients with Parkinson's disease currently taking carbidopa/levodopa. Inbrija is approved by the FDA and the EU.

Development pipeline

 BTT1023 (timolumab) for primary sclerosing cholangitis (phase II)
CVT-427 (zolmitriptan) for the acute treatment of migraine (phase I)
rHIgM22, a remyelinating antibody for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (phase I)

ARCUS Technology
In September 2014, the company acquired Civitas Therapeutics for , gaining the Phase III Parkinson's drug, CVT-301, the migraine drug CVT-427 and rights to the ARCUS pulmonary delivery system.  Th ARCUS technology allows for the administration of drugs by inhalation. The FDA-approved drug Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder) and the clinical-stage drug CVT-427 (zolmitriptan) currently use the ARCUS technology for drug delivery.

History and business model
Acorda Therapeutics was incorporated in 1995, founded by internist turned entrepreneur Ron Cohen in Hawthorne, New York.  Cohen had previously worked at the tissue engineering firm Advanced Tissue Sciences from 1986 to 1992.  Cohen's focus on neurology at Acorda was influenced by his father's being a neurologist at Columbia University Medical Center.  The business model of the company from the start was to work on commercialization of academic discoveries.  A single therapeutic area focus also has the advantage that physicians prescribing one drug might also prescribe another in Acorda's portfolio; for instance, the company planned to leverage physician access through tizanidine capsule sales to promote dalfampridine sales.

An initial public offering (IPO) in 2006 raised , about half of what was expected going into the offering, which was attributed to general weakness of the IPO market at the time.  These funds were supplemented by a private sale of shares later the same year, raising and additional .

As of 2007, twelve years after incorporation, the company had not yet turned a profit.

From 2019 to 2021 the company's earnings per share (EPS) increased by 4.5% every year. In 2021, the company's revenue was down by 13 percent.

Dalfampridine
The Canadian Spinal Research Organization held the patent for this drug in 2002 when the organization engaged Acorda to conduct a Phase III trial for treatment of spasticity in patients with chronic spinal cord injury.  This was Acorda's flagship product and development of subsequent drug candidates was initially predicated on realized revenue from this drug's sales.  In November 2016, the company announced it was discontinuing development of the drug for post-stroke walking difficulties, after a clinical trial failure.  In the third quarter of 2019, the company's shares dropped by a significant 65.1% as a result of dalfampridine's multiple sclerosis indication facing competition in the United States.

Inbrija
In December 2018, the company announced the FDA approval of Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder) for patients with Parkinson's disease. In January 2021, Acorda sold its manufacturing operations for Inbrija to Catalent for $70 million to reduce the company's operating expenses.

Tizanidine
The company licensed tizanidine (Zanaflex) from Élan in the early 2000s to help meeting cash flow goals.  Acorda sells both capsule and tablet forms of this drug, with emphasis on the capsule form as this has patent protection through 2021, while the tablet form has many generic competitors.

Tozadenant
In January 2016, the company acquired Finnish pharmaceutical company, Biotie Therapies, for . This gave the company control over Biote's primary sclerosing cholangitis drug, BTT1023 and the oral adenosine A2A receptor antagonist tozadenant.  In November 2017, the company announced discontinuation of research and development of the Phase III Parkinson's disease drug tozadenant. This followed the death of 5 patients enrolled in the tozadenant Phase III trial from agranulocytosis and associated severe adverse events possibly related to tozadenant.

Corporate governance
, the members of the board of directors of Acorda Therapeutics were: Ron Cohen, Barry Greene, Peder K. Jensen, John P. Kelley, Sandra Panem, Lorin J. Randall, Steven M. Rauscher, and Catherine D. Strader.

, the members of the senior management team were: Ron Cohen M.D. (Founder, president and chief executive officer), Burkhard Blank (chief medical officer), Andrew R. Blight (chief scientific officer emeritus), Denise Duca (executive vice president, human resources), Andrew A. Hidman (chief business officer), David Lawrence (chief, business operations and principal accounting officer), Lauren Sabella (chief commercial officer), Tierney Saccavino (executive vice president, corporate communications) and Jane Wasman (president, international and general counsel).

, founder, president and CEO Cohen would be about 63 years old.  Andrew Blight was the CSO in 2007 and  be about 68 years old, an emeritus in this role.  As of 2007, David Lawrence was the chief financial officer and Mary Fisher the chief operating officer.  Jane Wasman, about 62 in 2019, has held the general counsel role at the company since at least 2007.

Her march to victory was completed in a personal best score of 6,026 points and Barman hopes the focus will now shift from her unusual feet to her breakthrough performance.

Swapna Barman's claim to fame before landing in Jakarta was as the athlete with 12 toes but the 21-year-old will return home having forged a new identity after winning India's first Asian Games gold in the heptathlon.
The extra width of Barman's feet, each containing six toes, and her struggle to find suitable footwear have often impacted the performance of an athlete who came fifth on her Asian Games debut in Incheon four years ago.
Compounding her problems in Jakarta was a throbbing toothache and Barman, her stocky frame already ravaged by ankle, knee and back injuries over the last year, competed with a taped up jaw at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
"I hope so," Barman, her jaw still taped, said outside the GBK Stadium on Thursday.
"After all, nobody from India won a heptathlon gold at the Asian Games before. I hope people will now remember me more for winning the gold than for my toes. It's like a new identity for me."
The transformation was not served on a platter, however, he coach Subhas Sarkar said.
"She had to work really hard to come this far," he told Reuters. "She had to overcome massive odds -- be it her frame, feet or the spate of injuries. In the end, the hard work paid off."
For Barman, the priority now is to heal her body with an eye on the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
"This is the most important thing for me now," she added.
"I have had a long battle with injuries and these need to be fixed immediately. There's no real big event next year. I have plenty of time before Tokyo."
Once she has rested and recovered, Barman plans to target the Indian national record of 6,211 points, set by JJ Shobha 14 years ago.
"I felt I was below par in certain events but still posted my personal best," Barman admitted.
"I was once punished for a lane infringement in Doha. That still plays on my mind. That's why I did not go flat out in 200 metres.
"I'll go for a new national record. There is room for improvement in all seven events. I can be better, particularly at 200m, shot put, high jump and 800m."
Barman's pursuit has kept her away from her family -- her father became paralysed in 2013 and her mother used to work at a tea garden -- for long periods.
"I have not been home for nearly a year. I want to go home. It's been really long."

Congressional Republicans Walk Out on President Biden
By oaklandsocialist on December 9, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )
Oaklandsocialist launches its powerful new Marxist time machine to bring you this news report from February, 2021:
Congressional Republicans walk out as President Biden addresses joint session of congress
President Joe Biden gave his first State of the Union speech to a partially empty hall yesterday. The president however was nonplussed as he set a new record for such a speech – three hours and forty-seven minutes long. The new chair of the Senate, Vice President Harris, had to receive massage therapy following the speech as her smile muscles had frozen in place by the end of the speech. Unfortunately, we are unable to report on a single word that President Biden had said as for some strange reason all the TV cameras seemed to malfunction and only showed Biden's mouth moving but the audio portion didn't register a single word coming out of his mouth.
Following the speech, the President was asked if he was disturbed by the unprecedented walkout. "Here's the deal," he replied. "I have been doing this for a long time. A long, long, long, long time. A lot longer than any of you have been around. I know what I'm doing. I am fully confident that I can restore the soul of America. That means first and foremost that we who you out there have placed your trust in by electing us to these important positions, positions of power which we always seek to use that power wisely and I can by my goodwill and knowledge bring out the best in my good friends from across the aisle. On the other hand, we must not rush to judgement and we know that there are several of my colleagues from across the aisle who have also been around for a long time and as we know the longer we men have been around the more frequently we must take a potty break and we must give our Republican colleagues the benefit of the doubt about this. Furthermore," the president continued, "I must stress that several of my Republican colleagues remained in the hall to hear the entirety of the State of the Union address."
However, several of the Republicans who walked out denied that having to take a potty break had anything to do with it. One or two commented that they had walked out in solidarity with Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz. Gaetz was denied entry when he refused to surrender his AR-15, his flame thrower and several hand grenades that he was carrying.
Of the Republican senators, the most prominent who did not walk out was Susan Collins of Maine (who was hiding underneath her desk). Senator Mitt Romney of Utah was visible neither among those who walked out nor seated at his desk. However, an empty suit mysteriously remained seated at Senator Romney's desk during the entire speech.
When asked for his comments on the walkout, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell replied, "blrrbble ubble gubble mumble bumble."
The ever outspoken Senator Bernie Sanders issued a strongly worded statement emphasizing that this shows the need for Medicare for All. He also sent out an email to his 497 million followers asking them each to contribute two dollars and forty-seven cents, explaining that if each of the recipients would donate that amount he would have enough money to completely take over the Democratic Party. "Not me, us," he concluded.
For some reason, Nielson TV ratings for this State of the Union speech hit an all time low of 350 viewers. Some speculated that part of the reason was that some 75 million people had been evicted and were homeless and a further 200 million had had their electricity cut off so they did not have access to a TV. Fortunately, the record homeless population is facing an unusually mild winter with record warm temperatures around the country.
House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi commented that she did not understand the walkout as just a month earlier a joint meeting of Republicans and Democrats had produced a remarkable $20 trillion ($20,000,000,000,000) economic bailout package, with $1,000 per week going to every adult resident of the United States. This bailout, entitled the Workers and Employers Lost Income Emergency Act (WELIE Act), was enacted in a record time of 25 minutes. A few objected to the clause that gives even more money to the employers, but that issue was generally ignored.
It followed the shocking actions of Martin Luther King Day (January 14, 2021) in which tens of thousands of hungry people entered dozens of supermarkets across the country, filled their carts with groceries, and walked out, refusing to pay for the food. "Eating is a human right; every stomach counts," commented one of these bandits. This trend has developed following the case of the ten protesters who had originally set the example in a well publicized food giveaway in which they filled shopping carts and walked out to a waiting crowd outside to which they distributed the food. The ones who stole the food were arrested for shoplifting. They insisted on a jury trial and at that trial they acted as their own lawyers and gave a novel defense that their actions were a form of free speech. This resulted in a mistrial as the jury hung and a second trial produced the same results.
While the Republicans walked out of the president's speech, they had held an emergency joint conference with their Democratic colleagues immediately following the food riots to pass the emergency bill, which newly inaugurated President Biden signed as his first official act in office.

Ukrainian-Produced 'Brave Bunnies' Returns with Season 2 in 2023
New Wildbrain, Glowberry and Ánimas' agreement ensures the continued production of the popular preschool animated series despite its disruption caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

WildBrain has partnered with Ukrainian-based Glowberry to bring the Brave Bunnies preschool brand into its kids' and family franchise portfolio. Under the arrangement, WildBrain has assured the continuation of the popular series disrupted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Working with Glowberry and the Ibero-American animation studio, Ánima, WildBrain will lead global management of the franchise, leveraging its 360° capabilities across production, distribution, and consumer products. Glowberry co-founder Olga Cherepanova created Brave Bunnies and is the series' creative director.
Brave Bunnies Season 2 will be co-produced by WIldbrain's Vancouver studio, with delivery expected in June 2023. WildBrain CPLG, the company's dedicated consumer products agency, will manage licensing and merchandising worldwide. In addition, the company's own Family Jr. channel has picked up Brave Bunnies Season 1 (produced by Glowberry and Ánima) for exclusive linear telecast in Canada. Glowberry retains distribution and licensing rights for the brand in Ukraine, while Ánima has distribution rights in Spain. The three-way partnership, which Big Picture Licensing facilitated, sees WildBrain become the majority stakeholder in the Brave Bunnies IP, with Glowberry and Ánima as minority stakeholders.
"Brave Bunnies is a kids' property born of tremendous creative vision and has the potential to be a major preschool franchise, having already established a solid foundation with audiences through compelling content and consumer products," commented Wildbrain CEO Eric Ellenbogen. "Following the terrible events in Ukraine this year, we saw it as vital to ensure the future of this wonderful property, and we couldn't be more pleased now to be collaborating with Olga Cherepanova and her Glowberry team, along with the creative team at Ánima, on the next big adventures for the Brave Bunnies."
The 2D-animated series for kids ages 2-5 follows the adventures of two curious and inspiring bunny siblings—Boo and Bop—who create joy and excitement in their lives by bravely seeking out new friends, games, and experiences. The series fosters curiosity, creativity, eagerness, openness, and responsibility while encouraging kids to ask, "What if...?"
"I created Brave Bunnies to help children all over the world communicate with different friends without any fears or stereotypes, respecting the diversity of our world," shared Cherepanova. "Each episode of Brave Bunnies shows real-life examples of how to find a unique approach to each person without pressure or changing anyone's uniqueness. This idea is essential for healthy childhood development."
Adding, "Unfortunately, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Glowberry team faced significant challenges. Many employees were forced to flee Kyiv because of personal safety and the lives of their loved ones. But thanks to the support of partners like WildBrain and Ánima, now we have the opportunity to continue to create and share Brave Bunnies together."
"I'm proud and happy that this project born in Ukraine will now continue to spread around the world, helping the next generation develop respect for diversity and build relationships based on co-creation and cooperation rather than on fear and violence," concluded Cherepanova. "On behalf of the Ukrainian team, I want to express my deep gratitude to all the partners and talented people working together on Brave Bunnies, who have done so much despite the challenges we all faced. We do hope for peace in Ukraine and will do everything possible for a peaceful tomorrow."
"From Ánima, we want to thank both WildBrain and Glowberry," said Ánima, Spain CEO Ángel Molinero. "We are very excited about the future of the project, and we believe WildBrain is the perfect partner to give continuity to the Brave Bunnies brand."
Brave Bunnies Season 1 is on kids' platforms in more than 80 countries across LatAm, Canada, the UK, Europe, Nordics, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. A complimentary toy line for Brave Bunnies was launched by kids' entertainment company Spin Master in Germany and Italy earlier this year. In addition, the franchise's first books have debuted in Italy from publisher Planeta Libre, an imprint of De Agostini, who are also co-producers of the animated series; in Australia from Five Mile Publishing; and in the UK from Ladybird, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
In season one of Brave Bunnies (52 x 7'), Boo and Bop are on a big adventure in the Bunny Bus with Ma and Pa and their four wee siblings, the Bunny Babies. Together, they bravely explore the Bunny World, traveling to the jungle, savannah, forest, plains, and mountains. Along the way, Boo and Bop meet new animal children, including a tiger, kangaroo, bear, fox, and llama. Despite their differences, they always find a way to make friends and play new games!
For season two (52 x 7'), the Brave Bunnies continue their road trip adventure around the Bunny World, encountering a few old friends and making more new ones! In this season, Boo and Bop have some big surprises in store for small viewers as they visit their "Best Bunny Friends" at their homes, meet their families, explore their unique lifestyles, and find new adventures.

Odesa International Airport (Ukrainian: Міжнародний аеропорт Одеса) (IATA: ODS, ICAO: UKOO) is an airport in Odessa, Ukraine, sometimes called "Odesa Central" (Одеса Центральний).
It serves both domestic and international flights. Airport's runways either were or being co-used by the Ukrainian Air Force.
The airport was built in 1961.
In first quarter of 2007, airport served 589,614 passengers.
In May 2007, airport started reconstruction and extension of one and only concrete runway it has.


Hastings said the problem is a result of the Route 24 bottleneck funneling traffic from the eastside of town to the west, and vice-versa.
"We have a very unique geographical situation here in Millsboro that creates this bottleneck, which is two bodies of water," he said, adding that, although the bodies of water offer beauty and recreational options, they have also become restrictive.
Hastings said the Town cannot move bodies of water but that he believes the council can control traffic. He added that the traffic issues affect the town, businesses, growth, cleanliness and public safety.
Hastings presented council with the "closest, nearest possible route" to detour traffic — taking Route 30 at the intersection of Route 24, turning onto Morris Mill Road to Zoar Road.
Residents need to learn back roads, said Hastings, and the route presented is a viable option.
Millsboro Police Chief John Murphy also spoke as to how the traffic can and has affected his department.
"When the officers are on patrol, they may have to drive in the opposite direction of the incident that they're going to, because they know they can pick their way down side streets to avoid congested areas," he explained.
Murphy said he believes there will be accidents due to the town's traffic congestion, and drivers are dangerously passing on the shoulder.
He added that the safety of the department's officers is also a concern, when they have to enter into a congested environment to do their daily work.
Ron O'Neal, president of the Millsboro Fire Company, said that it's difficult for the fire company's apparatus drivers to maneuver through the town's traffic, too.
O'Neal said the company cannot really use back roads and only has two viable access points to get to Route 113.
Councilman Jim Petruzella said the traffic congestion concerns him, as well, as a resident of Plantation Lakes, located on the west side of Route 113.
Hastings said that the Town should take action, instead of waiting for the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to work on a solution.
The restriction of truck traffic through Millsboro will be considered at the Nov. 4 town council meeting, at 7 p.m.


As dry weather persists across much of Louisiana, landscapes are threatened.
"Spring droughts like we are experiencing now are especially harmful to lawns and landscape plants because this is the time of year when growth is most active and plants need nice spring growth to support them for the remainder of the growing season," said LSU AgCenter horticulturist Allen Owings.
How often we need to water varies, depending on such factors as temperature, rainfall, humidity, season, plants and light intensity, said LSU AgCenter horticulturist Dan Gill.
Many gardeners tend to water lightly every day during dry weather, but the water doesn't penetrate deeply into the soil, he said. Because roots only grow where there is adequate moisture, this results in a shallow root system.
People have a tendency to water by using the calendar, Owings added. Once a week or twice a weekly is common, and some even irrigate plants daily.
"We all need to learn how to recognize drought stress in plants," Owings said. Monitor soil conditions in containers and landscape beds. When one plant in a bed needs irrigation, all plants in the bed may not need irrigating. Many factors determine how fast a particular soil or potting medium will dry out.
To irrigate thoroughly, enough water should be applied to penetrate about 6 inches into the soil, Gill said. Applying about an inch of water to medium-textured soils generally will accomplish this. A thorough watering should not be necessary for established landscape plants more often than once a week.
"Early morning is the preferred time to irrigate," Gill said. "This provides plants adequate moisture going into the hottest time of the day when they need it most. And sunlight helps the foliage to dry rapidly, reducing the possibility of foliar disease problems. And wetting the plants while the sun is shining on them will not burn the leaves.
If sprinklers are used, watering in the early morning when it is cooler and humidity is high reduces water lost to evaporation.
Gardeners often wonder what kind of sprinklers to use on their lawn or what kind of hose or sprinklers to use in their landscape beds. For lawns, Owings suggests an impact sprinkler. These are commonly seen on athletic fields and golf courses.
Underground systems are effective and very convenient, but they're expensive to purchase and generally must be installed professionally, Gill said.
To figure out how long to leave your sprinkler on to apply one inch of water, first, place several empty cans in the spray pattern of the sprinkler, Gill said.
The best check of how thoroughly an area has been watered is to go back about 15 minutes after watering and dig into the soil with a trowel. "Find out if the water penetrated 6 to 8 inches into the soil," Gill said. "Check several places." This procedure also works to calibrate an installed irrigation system or hose-end sprinklers.
The horticulturists recommend pine straw and pine bark as excellent mulches along with hardwood mulch around many trees. Mulch flowers to a depth of 1-2 inches, shrubs to a depth of 2-3 inches and trees to a depth of 3-4 inches.
