Colorado schools may require temperature checks, mix of in-person and online classes for fall semester
State has not yet determined whether schools can reopen to in-person learning this fall
Edison Elementary School became the second Denver public school school to close after a parent of a student tested positive for the novel coronavirus on March 12, 2020.

The Colorado Department of Education released new guidance Tuesday to help school districts prepare to reopen for the fall semester amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but stopped short of confirming in-person classes will happen.
"Our goal… is to start in-person learning this fall, but we really need to see how the data progresses," said Dr. Katy Anthes, Colorado's commissioner of education, during a virtual news conference. "This toolkit is meant to provide contingencies and options for whatever happens."
According to state officials' recommendations, schools may have to intermittently leverage remote learning, stagger student schedules and conduct health screenings to ensure students and staff can safely partake in classes.
The Department of Education looked at approaches by other countries and collaborated with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and local superintendents to draft the guidelines, which Anthes called a work in progress. Regulators are looking for feedback, which the public can submit online.
"Undoubtedly, we know that school will look different this coming year," said Anthes. "There will be a whole new set of rules and protocols that schools will need to put in place to minimize the spread of COVID-19."
The guidelines cover a range of issues, including how to safely reopen a facility, how to deal with a positive case of COVID-19 and how to properly disinfect shared spaces and supplies. Both public and private schools will be required to follow health and safety precautions spelled out through Gov. Jared Polis's executive orders. Those include mandating educators to wear face masks and screening students' and staff members' temperatures upon arrival to school, among other requirements.
The Department of Education also noted that in-person learning may be disrupted by an outbreak or executive order, and proposed options for a mix of onsite and remote education.
Leaders at Jeffco Public Schools already are planning a blended approach for the 2020-2021 school year. The district's recently released plan calls for a scheduled rotation of in-person and remote learning to avoid having too many people in each school at once. Superintendent Jason Glass told The Denver Post he expects social distancing guidelines to persist into the fall, so he's proposed "A" and "B" days or weeks during which students would trade time spent learning from home with time in a classroom.
Other districts, such as Cherry Creek School District, are debating a similar rotation, superintendent Scott Siegfried told the Aurora Sentinel. Even the University of Colorado, which unveiled its plan for the fall 2020 semester Tuesday, is proposing small, in-person classes until Thanksgiving and online learning thereafter to lower the risk of students carrying the virus back to campus after going home for the holiday.
All of this, however, is subject to change over the coming months should the circumstances around COVID-19 change, Anthes said.
"This is an evolving situation with the virus still being active in our community," she said. "So the school year will be affected by public health orders, the COVID-19 incident rates of new cases and any progress our medical community makes on treatment."

Despite the chill of a pre-winter frost that covered southern Missouri's now-naked trees with ice, a warmth surged in my heart. I could have never imagined that, last summer, Yah had called me to abandon everything in California -- our semi-comfortable life of cleaning houses -- to save Brother Lee.
The fog and confusion that had filled my mind for the ninety plus days that we had lived with the pastor was blown away as fiercely as the cold wind that even then blew across the mid-west, indicating winter was soon to sweep the last vestiges of fall away.
But now a new problem arose -- where would we go from here?
Brother Lee had contacted some friends of his that put us up in a very nice farm house. The rich oaken floors, the warm fire place, the sweet fresh Jersey milk and butter from the cows, all accentuated the love of this family who barely knew us, but trusted Bro Lee enough to take us in. More importantly, the bitterness that had defiled this pastor was now gone, and we had a chance to get our spiritual bearings and recover.
One evening, as we sat with the wife at her dining room table, Christmas lights from her newly decorated Christmas tree shining upon us, she asked us about why we did not celebrate the holiday.
She was very receptive to the Truth, and I was amazed at how Yah was continuing to use this whole situation for good.
I called both my parents, and my father-in-law to let them know exactly what had happened. I asked them both to please pray that Yah would give us direction of where to go. Within twenty four hours, my parents promised to send us $500, and Annika's father promised to send us $500, more than enough to make the 4 day trip from Missouri back to Oregon. We never asked for the money -- it was simply what had been placed on our parents hearts. This was a miracle beyond miracles.
I also called an old friend of mine from Portland, Yochanon, to let him know what had happened. I felt I needed to update him because he had actually visited us at the pastor's home for a couple of days during Tabernacles. I explained to him the whole story that had transpired.
"You and your family can even stay with us until you find a place," he said.
In less than two weeks, Yah had lined up a job for me, given us the financial means to drive back to Oregon, and provided us with a temporary place to live until we could find something more permanent.
Annika and I grew more and more excited as the prospect of returning to Portland after more than 3.5 years of being away became a reality.
On the morning of our departure, after thanking our kind hosts, we made a final stop at Brother Lee's.
"Thank you so much for helping us out in so many ways," I said, hugging him fiercely.
The journey back was glorious. Though a winter storm threatened to engulf the Rocky Mountains, we made it through with no problems. In fact, like a gate shutting behind us, we passed through Colorado and Utah just ahead of the thick snows. Once again, Yah was placing His Hand of protection upon us.
We sang this out mile after mile, as we made the journey back home to Oregon. In standing against the icy bitterness of the pastor and delivering Brother Lee, a new revival had awoken in our hearts, giving us a joy that was impossible to contain.
Returning to Portland was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I had become convinced that I would never be allowed by Yah to come back to this city, having fled in disgrace and defeat. Yet, after living in the California and then Missouri wilderness for 3.5 years, Yah had allowed me to return.
"It's hard to believe we are back in this city," Annika whispered to me one day.
During the first few weeks of delivery driving, I was learning the ropes of handling the van, how to fill out the proper forms, and of course using the Thomas Guide to figure out where I was going each day.
But one morning, after making a delivery in downtown Portland, my dispatcher notified me that I needed to just sit and wait as there were no more runs to make at the moment. I realized that I was parked right across from Portland State University -- a place I hadn't visited in 3.5 years. Old memories of my victories on this campus swelled up inside of me. Surely Yah had placed me here for such a time as this.
Stuffing my radio phone into my jacket, I jumped out of the van, strode into the park blocks and began preaching. Within minutes, Yah helped me draw a crowd of Muslims, atheists, Christians and pagans. For thirty minutes, I exalted YahShua and the Torah, exhilarated that I had returned to my old stomping grounds.
The crackle from my dispatcher radio interrupted my preaching, and I jumped back into the van, ready to carry out my next delivery. For weeks this would repeat, literally allowing me to do ministry while "on the job".
After living for about two months with Yochanon and his wife, and Annika only a month away from giving birth to our 5th child, we still had not found a place of our own. Our primary hold up was waiting on purchasing a house on a beautiful plot of land in Ariel, Washington -- an idyllic property situated with herb gardens, natural springs, and seated in the heart of the Cascade Mountains.
But, just before we were convinced that we could close on the house, the underwriter for the lender pulled back due to structural problems with the home. Even though we said we didn't care -- that the house and property were a dream come true -- we just simply couldn't get the financing.
Annika's grandparents instead put us in a very luxurious 3 bedroom apartment in Vancouver, Washington, just north of Portland. They were willing to cover our rent, while we got on our feet.
I called Annika's midwife and explained what I wanted to do. She agreed to be "on-call" in case we ran into any emergencies, but after looking over Annika, and seeing everything checking out in a healthy manner, assured us that she thought we were making the right decision.
One shabbat, in mid-March of 2007, Annika now a week overdue, we decided to head to one of the tallest waterfalls in Oregon.
"If it brings on labour, then it's worth it!" She said.
We hiked to the very top, Naomi and Miriam in our double stroller, Isaiah and Elijah walking along beside us.
The hoped for labour did not materialize, but we did enjoy a beautiful shabbat hike and treasured the bird's eye view of the gushing waterfall and Columbia River.
But a week later, in late March, our 5th baby, Malachi, would not hold back any longer. With the children asleep, my wife experienced one of her easiest labors, only a few hours long. I wasn't exactly sure how to remove the placenta, so I just continued to rub my wife's stomach, hoping it would come out just as I had seen our previous midwives perform the feat. But nothing seemed to work.
Finally, I said -- "Honey, stand on the blanket. And stomp your feet." As she did so, the placenta slipped right out.
Annika and I weren't sure what we were more proud of -- our little baby boy or the fact that we had just delivered him all by ourselves.
Passover that year was a festive event. We invited Mark, the student who had given his heart to Yah back in 2002 while I was preaching at PSU. Also, a musician and his fiance attended. The musician had heard me at PSU and had been encouraged by the preaching. Passover also happened to fall on the 8th day from Malachi's birth that year. To this day, I don't know how Annika did it. In the space of eight hours, children in tow, she brought Malachi to a naturopath to have him circumcised, stopped by a farm in Hillsboro to pick up a freshly slaughtered lamb, roasted it over an open fire all day, and brought it home by evening for the Passover Feast. I had to work the whole day doing delivery driving, and had even gotten stuck with a last minute twilight delivery, forcing me to get home later than I had wanted. I was stunned to see all that Annika had done.
A few weeks after Passover, we had a major problem hit us head on. Little Naomi's legs were looking very purplish and she was crying non-stop. Crying out to YahShua for an answer, I immediately received revelation. I told Annika to mix some purified water with some trace mineral powder that we had. As Naomi began drinking this, the legs returned to normal within about 5 minutes. I was rejoicing at this healing mini-miracle!
But Annika's grandparents were not happy at all. Her grandfather sent me an email, asking us to take Naomi to the doctor for a check up. I responded that we didn't need a doctor, that Yah had given us revelation and that it had worked.
The sudden disagreement resulted in Annika's grandfather refusing to continue to pay our rent for the apartment we had been living in.
I think we could have probably continued to afford the rent by creatively managing our budget, but I got a thought in my head about living in a tent to try and save finances. To this day, I don't know what I was thinking -- but during the month of May, all 5 of us lived in a tent on a farm in northern Oregon.
Though the children absolutely loved the living situation, I could tell this would not work. My commute from the farm to Portland was over an hour and a half each way, and Annika -- though good spirited about the situation, was not pleased.
By June, we found another apartment in Oregon, and moved everybody in, but the tension between Annika's family and me was still very tight.
Still, from the frozen wilds of Missouri, to the 4 day journey home, to the delivery of Malachi, to living in a tent, Yah proved over and over again one very important thing -- He was always with us, always protecting us, always helping us.

MINI John Cooper Works Hardtop Knights Edition
A special edition of what is arguably a special car because this is a vehicle for people who like to drive and it seems most people now just like to carry stuff in their vehicles and the driving is but a means to an end.

What the Roman Empire Has to Do With Product Lifecycle Management (We're Not Kidding)
People no longer buy small cars. People no longer buy vehicles with just two doors. Sure, there are exceptions to these. But not many. All the rage is in the light-truck range, be it something with a literal box on the back or something that has a high H-point so as to provide the driver with what is considered to be a "command" seating position.
The John Cooper Works Knights Edition. Looks special. (all images: MINI)
And because of those things, vehicles that are encompassed by the MINI brand don't do particularly well in the U.S. market. For the first half of 2019 MINI sold just 17,583 vehicles in the U.S. Yes, with models like the Clubman and the Countryman there is another set of doors. And yes, these vehicles are marginally bigger than the MINI Hardtop, the vehicle from whence these are fundamentally derived, but still smaller than your run-of-the-mill compact sport utility. Even if we look at the popularity of a small crossover in the U.S. market that is in the premium niche, meaning a Buick, know that there were 48,897 Encores sold in the first half.
And that word "utility" is something that is rather mystifying in the context of the use that many vehicles that carry that word directly or by implication in their categorization. Arguably there aren't a whole lot of car-based elevated people carriers are all that utile in comparison to the cars that they're based on. What's more, I suspect that there aren't a whole lot of people who show up to showrooms with a tape measure to calculate the cubic dimensions of the cargo area, which is certainly one signifier of utility, isn't it? And further, there are a huge number of so-called utilities that are, like the donor cars, that are simply front-drive setups, so we're not going to have "utility" in the context of being able to negotiate much more than gravel roads.
But let's face it: the utility of a MINI is marginal. But the driveability is maximal. No, its not the fastest on the road. But you'd be hard pressed to find more pure driving enjoyment, even if you're just driving to work and are stuck in the slog on a freeway (after all, you can more quickly zip to the next lane thanks to the magnificent maneuverability.)
The MINI John Cooper Works Knights Edition is based on a MINI John Cooper Works Hardtop. It is a special edition. It has lots of black and silver surfaces, inside and out. It is said to be the first MINI to use Piano Black (e.g., exterior trim, door handles, fuel-filler cap). Who knew? But what I do know is that while driving the vehicle I got more nods of approval from other drivers than any car I've been in (and I honestly don't think that I've ever gotten said nod while behind the wheel of an SUV large or small).
Standing still, but ready to dart.
The car features a 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that's mated to an eight-speed automatic with shift-paddles because this is a John Cooper Works vehicle (John Cooper and his father, Charles, established the Cooper Car Company, which built race cars, and John Cooper raced, as well. The British Motor Corporation Mini was developed, and eventually, after BMW bought MINI, the "John Cooper Works" name was licensed to the company for the higher-performance versions of the vehicles).
The car is said to be capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, which is quick, not fast, which doesn't mean that it is slow but is in keeping with its overall controlled maneuverability.
The car is chock full of creature comforts like nicely bolstered front seats that a clad in a combination of cloth and a suede-like material; touchscreen navigation in the giant circular display in the center of the IP; a Harman Karon audio system; a head-up display; panoramic moonroof, and more.
It doesn't have a whole lot in the way of cargo capacity: with the rear seats in seating position (although it is said to seat four, Hobbits come to mind for rear passengers), there is just 8.7 cubic-feet of available space for stuff, a figure that may be meaningless on its own, so just think of the vehicle is being woefully inadequate for a Costco run.
You'll have a blast getting there, but one multipack of paper towel is going to do it in.
But it is not about what you can put into the MINI John Cooper Works Hardtop Knights Edition, but the enjoyment you can get out of it.
Note the attention to detail: the Union Jack in the taillamp.

Q: How to target js with kotlin kotest? I have been trying to setup kotest in a kotlin multiplatform project.
On the kotest starting guide it says to add this dependency to commonTest
implementation 'io.kotest:kotest-framework-engine:$version'

Unfortunately this does not resolve
Could not resolve io.kotest:kotest-framework-engine:4.4.1.
Required by:
    project :**strong text**

If add this dependency just to jvmTest it resolves. I can not find any guides to setup kotest for multiplatform.

A: It appears that kotest does not yet support the Kotlin compiler's IR backend for JS. This is kotest issue 2037. If you configure the LEGACY compiler backend for your JS multiplatform settings, it should work.
Kotest's Quick Start documentation does actually cover multiplatform configuration when you select the rightmost tab ("Multiplatform") in each section.
These are the relevant sections from a build.gradle.kts script which uses kotest with the IR backend on JVM along with the LEGACY backend on JS:
val kotestVersion = "4.4.1"

kotlin {
    jvm("backend") {
        compilations.all {
            kotlinOptions.useIR = true
        }
        withJava()
    }
    js("frontend", LEGACY) {
        browser {
            binaries.executable()
            testTask {
                useKarma {
                    useChromeHeadless()
                    webpackConfig.cssSupport.enabled = true
                }
            }
        }
    }
    sourceSets {
        val commonTest by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation("io.kotest:kotest-framework-engine:$kotestVersion")
                implementation("io.kotest:kotest-assertions-core:$kotestVersion")
                implementation("io.kotest:kotest-property:$kotestVersion")
            }
        }
        val backendTest by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation("io.kotest:kotest-runner-junit5:$kotestVersion")
            }
        }
    }
}

tasks {
    // Tests
    withType<Test> {
        useJUnitPlatform()
    }
}

Film on TV (Nov 10 – 17)
Monday, 10 November
7:25pm EST / 6:25 CST – IFC – Clerks
Kevin Smith's debut film is little more than a few convenience store clerks chatting, but its fresh feel fits right in with the mid-'90s indie scene. And the film introduces Smith stock characters Jay and Silent Bob, so there's that.
7:55am / 6:55am – IFC – Solaris (1972)
The original Andrei Tarkovsky version, not the George Clooney remake. I haven't seen either, but I've heard really great things about the Tarkovsky, and it's on my to-watch list.
12:15pm / 11:15am – AMC – The Bridge on the River Kwai
British military discipline in the form of commander Alec Guinness doesn't mesh well with being in a WWII Japanese prison camp – or maybe it does, as Guinness puts his all into building the titular bridge for Japanese use, while American prisoner William Holden plots to blow it up. David Lean's 1957 Best Picture winner doesn't hold up for me as well as some of his other films, but it's still got legs.
9:00pm / 8:00pm – TCM – This is the Army, Hollywood Canteen, Stage Door Canteen, and Thousands Cheer
None of these are good movies, let's state that up front. But they're a special genre of Hollywood war effort films featuring tons of cameos by famous stars, which makes them an interesting snapshot into the studio system of the time. This is the Army is based on an Irving Berlin Broadway revue, which donated virtually all of its box office returns to the war effort. Hollywood Canteen and Stage Door Canteen are named after famous USO locations in Hollywood and New York, respectively. Thousands Cheer is more story-oriented, but ends with a revue featuring numbers by Judy Garland, Virginia O'Brien, June Allyson, and others. The other one I would've put in this programme is Thank Your Lucky Stars, notable mostly because it makes Warner dramatic stars like Bette Davis and Ann Sheridan try to sing, which is just unavoidably amusing.
10:00pm / 9:00pm – TCM – Strangers on a Train
Farley Granger meets Robert Walker on a train and jokes with him about exchanging murders – Granger's unloved wife (who is in the way of Granger's love for Ruth Roman) for Walker's tyrannical father. Except Walker wasn't joking. One of Hitchcock's most intense films, with some of his most memorable shots and set-pieces (carousel, anyone?).
10:00pm / 9:00pm – Sundance – This is England
Shane Meadows' film about a young boy in 1980s Britain becoming involved with skinheads got outstanding reviews from all quarters last year. I missed it in theatres, but definitely want to get a shot at it now.
1:30am / 12:30am (13th) – TCM – Blowup
In Michelangelo Antonioni's first English-language film, a London photographer thinks he may have captured a murder on film, but he can't be quite sure. What might have been a routine detective story becomes something else – a mystery without an answer. Related in a way to surveillance ethics stories like The Conversation, Antonioni brings his detached intellectualism to the film, making it quite unlike most anything else ever made.
9:45am / 8:45am – IFC – Amarcord
One of Federico Fellini's four Best Foreign Film statuettes is for this film, and though I rail against many of Oscar's choices when it comes to foreign films, Fellini deserved all of his. Amarcord is a slice-of-life film showcasing a small 1930s Italian village, with Fellini's typically flair. [Playing again on the 14th at 5:50am EST]
11:00am / 10:00am – AMC – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Sergio Leone's most definitive spaghetti western finishes off his "Man with No Name" trilogy starring Clint Eastwood. It's not necessary to see the other two entries (A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More) first.
12:45pm / 11:45am – TCM – The Shop Around the Corner
The original version of You've Got Mail has James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan as feuding employees of a shop who are unknowingly exchanging romantic letters. Ernst Lubitsch directs, bringing his warm European wit to bear.
8:00pm / 7:00pm – AMC – Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Remember when Steven Spielberg liked aliens? Contrary to many opinions, I think, I prefer Close Encounters to E.T. Maybe it's the fact that the aliens communicate with such a distinctive musical phrase. I don't know.
9:30am / 8:30am – AMC – Pillow Talk
More recent movies have tried to replicate Pillow Talk's combination of innocence and sex (notably the near-remake Down With Love), but I haven't found any that manage with the aplomb of the original. Accept no imitators!
4:00pm / 3:00pm – TCM – Rear Window
My all-time favorite film. Hitchcock, Stewart, Kelly, voyeurism, fashion, murder, paranoia, sarcastic nurses, I can't get enough. Ever.
3:45am / 2:45am (15th) – TCM – The Haunting (1963)
There's The Haunting and then there's The Haunting. And this is the good one, not the overblown 1999 remake. Robert Wise's original is creepy, disturbing, and, like, good.
8:00pm / 7:00pm – TCM – Paths of Glory
In this early Stanley Kubrick film, soldier Kirk Douglas has to decide what to do when three of his men are charged with cowardice (a capitol offense) for refusing to obey orders to make a suicidal charge at the enemy. The film is not only an historical exploration of the shift from pre-WWI tactics to post-machine gun tactics, but also a pointed inquiry into military ethics.
8:00pm / 7:00pm – AMC – The Godfather
If AMC is still doing commercial breaks in their movies, don't watch The Godfather now. But sometime. Somewhere. Even if it's just to say you have, like it is for me. Someday I'm going to watch it and actually love it. [Playing again on the 17th at 7:00am and 4:00pm EST]
11:30pm / 10:30pm – TCM – Kiss Me Deadly
I actually didn't love this well-respected hard-boiled noir film as much as I wanted to when I saw it last year, but I'm throwing it in here because it is reasonably solid, and one of those films you have to see to count yourself a competent film noir fan. If, you know, being a competent film noir fan is on your shortlist of things to do with your life. Which it is for me.
12:00am / 11:00pm – AMC – The Godfather Part II
See above re: The Godfather. Except one of my shames as a film buff is that I've never seen Part II. I sort of doubt I'm going to on AMC, though, just throwing out the possibility to you. I'm shooting for the new Coppola Restoration DVDs. [Playing again on the 17th at 11:30am and 8:00pm EST]
4:30am / 3:30am (17th) – AMC – The Usual Suspects
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn't exist." And The Usual Suspects pulls a similar trick, placing it forever on the list of greatest twist films ever.
Sunday, 17 November
Ingmar Bergman dramatizes an actual chess game between a medieval knight (Bergman regular Max von Sydow) and Death. Heavy stuff, not that that's unusual for Bergman.
9:45am / 8:45am – IFC – The Virgin Spring
One of Bergman's I haven't yet gotten around to seeing – maybe because the description "Swineherds seek shelter with the father of a girl they raped and killed" (from IFC's site) sounds even more depressing than usual for Bergman? But I intend to see all of his eventually, so its time will come.
10:00pm / 9:00pm – Sundance – Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Every time I see this frenetic Guy Ritchie crime comedy, I like it a little more. A young man gets into a gambling debt that his casino-running father refuses to bail him out of, so he hatches a poorly-planned scheme to steal and sell some priceless antique shotguns. Add in some other hoods working on other crimes and a few hitmen running around, and pretty soon the whole thing spirals out of control. Add in cockney accents and you've got a zany good time that's hard to beat.
2:00am / 1:00am (18th) – TCM – Diabolique
A man's wife and his lover plot together to kill him, but get a surprise when he shows back up soon after. Ghost? Madness? Who can say? Taut thriller from Henri-Georges Clouzot.

About Anaconda - Learn More About Australia's Leading Camping Store!
Anaconda was founded in November 2004 by an Australian retailing family. Anaconda's founders were concerned that Australia's outdoor and adventure culture was in decline, with many people seeking their leisure and entertainment indoors. This family, who love the outdoors themselves, realised that Australia really didn't have a one-stop-shop for outdoor and adventure equipment. This is how the vision of Anaconda - Australia's largest camping and adventure superstore - was born.
Anaconda is not just a retail store, it's an experience. We have the largest range of outdoor products in Australia and source the best gear locally and internationally. Our gear is offered in an environment where visitors can take part in great activities and get the best local advice for their adventures.
Anaconda only recruits passionate experts to manage our stores - experts in camping, hiking, fishing, four-wheel-driving, cycling, kayaking, snorkeling, diving and rock climbing.
Trying and testing the equipment we sell is a big part of the Anaconda ethos. All our team members, much like our founders are seriously passionate about the outdoors and adventure.


It's a strange dichotomy. India, believed to be home to 1.26 lakh millionaires, has just one operation theatre per 1 lakh population.
A latest study by the Harvard School of Public Health has found that while the South–East Asia region has just 2.6 OTs per 1 lakh population, the number is as low as 1.3 OT per 1 lakh population in India and Pakistan.
What's worse, the surgical facilities that are available don't have the basic safety equipment necessary for safe surgery –such as oxygen monitors.
Speaking to TOI, senior author of the study Dr Atul Gawande admitted that "half of the operating rooms in India lack functioning oxygen monitors." Eastern Europe has the highest number of OTs per 1 lakh population –25.1 –followed by Asia Pacific (high income countries) 24.3, Central Europe 15.7, Western Europe 14.7, North America and Australasia 14.3, Central Asia 11.7 and the Caribbean 10.4 OTs per 1 lakh population.
South–East Asia comes right at the end of the heap with 2.6 OTs. The worse are Oceania at 1.9, sub–Saharan Africa (central) 1.2, sub–Saharan Africa (east) 1.1 and sub–Saharan Africa (west) 1. Even some regions classified as low middle according to economic wealth, just like South–East Asia, had greater number of OTs.
The team says that of the 234 million surgeries that take place around the world every year, the wealthiest third of the global population underwent 75% of them, the poorest third just 4%.
Published in the 'Lancet' on Friday, the study says that more than 2 billion people worldwide do not have adequate access to surgical services. WHO says one in every 25 people are undergoing a surgery at any given point of time.
Shockingly, more than seven million people across the world suffer from preventable surgical injuries every year. One million patients even die immediately after the surgery, making safety of patients during surgery a substantial public health concern.
Another shocking part of the study were the number of OTs which lacked basic safety equipment like a pulse oximeter, a device that indirectly measures the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood and changes in blood volume in the skin.
Around 49% of OTs in South Asia did not have pulse oximeters, compared to 9% in Europe, 7% in Latin America and just 0.2% in Asia Pacific. About 19% of operating theatres –77,700 –did not have pulse oximeters worldwide.

Microsoft cuts advances for 2006 Longhorn release
Joris Evers
Microsoft Corp. on Friday said it will sacrifice some key advances it had planned for Longhorn so it can deliver the successor to Windows XP in 2006.
The next Windows release won't ship with the WinFS unified storage system, one of the three key components of Longhorn, as outlined by Microsoft at its Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in October last year.
"We do have an ambitious vision for the future of Windows. Today's announcements reflect a change in how we reach that vision in a way we think that will be good for enterprise customers and developers in particular," said Greg Sullivan, a lead product manager at Microsoft.
The PDC was the first time Microsoft talked publicly about many of the features it planned for Longhorn. Company Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates hyped the operating system as "the biggest release of this decade, the biggest since Windows 95" and called WinFS a "Holy Grail."
Microsoft in April said it was clipping some minor features in Longhorn in order to get a beta version out next year, but that the product would still have all the major components it discussed at PDC, including WinFS. But after several delays in the development of Longhorn, the operating system is now looking more like an evolutionary release of Windows instead of the "big bang" revolution the software maker made it out to be.
"We've had to make some trade-offs to deliver the features corporate customers, consumers and OEMs are asking for in a reasonable time frame," Jim Allchin, group vice president of Microsoft's Platforms Group said in a statement. Microsoft uses the term OEMs, or original equipment manufacturers, to refer to PC makers.
Simply said, Microsoft was overly ambitious in its vision for Longhorn, according to Rob Helm, research director at Directions on Microsoft Inc. in Kirkland, Wash. "At the PDC in 2003, Microsoft presented a concept that was bigger than they could deliver," he said.
Microsoft now plans to deliver WinFS after it releases Longhorn as an update to the operating system, Sullivan said. The storage system will be in beta testing when Longhorn becomes available in 2006, he said.
WinFS is built on top of the current Windows NTFS and uses relational engine technology from Microsoft's forthcoming SQL Server 2005 database. The storage system promises to make it easier for users to find documents and e-mail messages, for example, by tagging those with XML (Extensible Markup Language) metadata.
"The notion of a full relational store that is fully exposed via APIs (application programming interfaces) is what WinFS will bring, but absent WinFS we can deliver very compelling end-user scenarios that include desktop full-text search," Sullivan said. "It is true that when we get that full relational search it will enable new scenarios that go beyond search."
Together with the release of Longhorn, Microsoft on Friday said it will offer updates to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to support the Avalon graphics system, as well as the Longhorn communications subsystem dubbed Indigo and the WinFX application programming model in those older operating system products.
Support for Avalon, Indigo and WinFX in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 will allow software makers to target a much larger installed base. Previously Microsoft had only said it would make Indigo available for earlier operating systems, which potentially meant that applications developed for Longhorn would only run on Longhorn systems.
With WinFS ripped out of Longhorn and Indigo, WinFX and Avalon brought down to Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, Longhorn has lost its glare as a major new Windows release, said Directions on Microsoft's Helm.
"To me it looks like Longhorn as such does not exist anymore. There will be a 2006 Windows release that will have that code name, but the three feature sets that Microsoft originally presented for Longhorn won't be tied to it anymore," Helm said.
Microsoft expects to release a first official beta version of Longhorn in mid-2005, Sullivan said.

Pitts puts on show at Florida's pro day for NFL evaluators
(AP Photo/John Raoux, File)GAINESVILLE, Fla. – There was no shortage of Kyle Pitts highlights at Florida's pro day Wednesday, from his measurables to his moves to even his mindset. It was a refresher course for anyone who watched the versatile tight end play last season. Pitts and several teammates — most notably quarterback Kyle Trask, cornerback Marco Wilson and receivers Kadarius Toney and Trevon Grimes — worked out for talent evaluators from 31 of 32 NFL teams. AdIt's still entirely possible for Pitts to be the highest-drafted tight end in the modern era (since 1970). "He's a different bird than what a traditional tight end has been or certainly has been when I played," said Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell, a tight end who played 11 NFL seasons.
Chargers hire Rams DC Brandon Staley as head coach

On Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021, the Los Angeles Chargers hired Staley to become the team's head coach. (AP Photo/Doug Murray, File)COSTA MESA, Calif. – Brandon Staley won't have to move that far for his first head coaching opportunity. Staley agreed to become the Los Angeles Chargers' coach on Sunday night after one season as the defensive coordinator for the crosstown Rams. "It's not just that Brandon possesses a tremendous football mind that makes him the ideal head coach to lead our team forward," general manager Tom Telesco said in a statement. He is the third assistant under Rams coach Sean McVay to get an NFL head coaching job, joining Green Bay's Matt LaFleur and Cincinnati's Zac Taylor.
Mr. Smith goes to Washington, takes another team to playoffs
Washington Football Team's Alex Smith plays during the first half of an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021, in Philadelphia. Alex Smith is the biggest reason Washington became the first team in the Super Bowl era to start 2-7 and make the playoffs. (AP Photo/Derik Hamilton, File)If the Alex Smith story becomes a movie, Alex Smith doesn't want to see it. "When Alex Smith plays quarterback, they're a heck of a football team," Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians said. "They're an extremely well-coached team, a ton of talent on that defensive front, but Alex Smith is really the key to everything."How is that possible?
Burrow, Bengals hit road vs Browns on NFL's 100th birthday
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (9) reacts after running for a touchdown during the first half of an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Sunday, Sept. 13, 2020, in Cincinnati. Outside, Burrow got lessons on Paul Brown, Jim Brown, Boomer Esiason, Bernie Kosar, The Ickey Shuffle and Dawg Pound. "In my eyes I played terrible through 3 1/2 quarters and then played up to my standards in the last drive and almost won the game," Burrow said. RUN OVERThe Bengals significantly overhauled the NFL's worst run defense of last season — 149 yards allowed per game —- and had a tough start against the Chargers, who ran for 155. Bengals coach Zac Taylor expects Bullock, who fully practiced on Tuesday, to handle kicking duties against the Browns.
Joe Cool: Burrow confident in adapting to Bengals offense
CINCINNATI Back in pads for the first time since he won a national championship at LSU, Joe Burrow got a baptism in NFL red-zone defense. The new Bengals quarterback fumbled a snap a steady rain contributed and had trouble completing passes in tight quarters. Asked if he's nervous in adapting to the NFL, Burrow responded:Absolutely not," he said. Burrow got to run the offense in short-field situations for the first time with the scheduled season opener less than a month away. It wasn't what you'd like to see on a red-zone day, but it was the first one, Burrow said.
No. 1 pick Joe Burrow happy to be on field for Bengals
After waiting a few extra months to get on the practice field for the Cincinnati Bengals for the first time, No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow had a little extra energy. The Bengals last won a playoff game following the 1990 season. 1 overall pick and Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer lost twice in the postseason for the Bengals, Andy Dalton had four defeats and A.J. Im going to have to continue to do my job.
Black Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter supporters gather in Middleburg
Across the street, Blue Lives Matter supporters gathered. "When we say Black Lives Matter, that it solely means Black lives are better," said Kevin Connor with Black Lives Matter Clay County. Standing on the same side of the road of the Black Lives Matter supporters was Norm Brewer, a Blue Lives Matter supporter. I mean, it's just that simple."Brewer explained further why he stood with the Black Lives Matter supporters even though he supports the Blue Lives Matter movement. At last weekend's rally, a group of Blue Lives Matter supporters counter-demonstrated across the street from the Black Lives Matter rally near the corner of Blanding Boulevard and Kingsley Avenue.
Patriots deny stealing Bengals' signs, say filming on sidelines was for documentary
The Cincinnati Bengals reportedly think the Patriots tried stealing signs after a Patriots production crew was caught filming the Bengals' sideline during their game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Patriots, who were punished in 2007 for taping opponents, said the crew was there to film for a documentary series. As the Cleveland Browns claimed victory over the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, suspicions brewed in the press box above. A Bengals official said he saw a Patriots employee inappropriately filming the sidelines during the game, and notified the NFL. "I'm aware that there was an incident but I know the league is investigating it, so I have no comment," Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said.
Jaguars at Bengals: Four keys to victory in Cincinnati
JACKSONVILLE, FLA - The Jaguars travel to Cincinnati to face the winless Bengals on Sunday. Although this is just Week 7, the Jaguars face a tremendously important game if they want to return to playoff contention. If the Bengals try the same approach, Minshew needs to be able to make plays downfield from the pocket. The Bengals are anything but potent and there isn't a matchup with a wide receiver that should scare the Jaguars this week. Leonard Fournette was not happy that the Jaguars traded Ramey.

Human precursors went to sea
A team of researchers that included an North Carolina State University geologist found evidence that our ancestors were crossing open water at least 130,000 years ago. That's more than 100,000 years earlier than scientists had previously thought.
Their evidence is based on stone tools from the island of Crete. Because Crete has been an island for eons, any prehistoric people who left tools behind would have had to cross open water to get there.
The tools the team found are so old that they predate the human species, said Thomas Strasser, an archaeologist from Providence College who led the team. Instead of being made by our species, Homo sapiens, the tools were made by our ancestors, Homo erectus.
The tools are very different from any others found on Crete, Strasser said. They're most similar to early stone-age tools from Africa that are about 700,000 years old, he said...
Wow! Homo erectus was sailing across open ocean 700,000 years ago? That puts a whole new spin on the abilities of pre-humans. We know that H. erectus got around, having left Africa approximately 2 million years ago, and leaving fossils scattered around Asia and Europe until it disappeared around 200,000 years ago (probably replaced by Neandertal Man, or Modern Man himself). For the relatively primitive H. erectus to have sufficient technology to build rafts and move enough people to establish a viable tool-making culture on Crete is quite remarkable, and requires new thinking about the technology our ancestors were capable of wielding. Since wood and fiber don't often preserve long enough to be found in conjunction with fossils, we may be missing quite a lot.

IN THE FUTURE, EVERYONE WILL BE HITLER FOR 15 MINUTES — AND THE FUTURE IS NOW: Ron DeSantis' pr…


A cynical, lazy, lasagna-loving, Monday-hating, dog-punting, mailman-mauling fat cat. Garfield's passion for food and sleep is matched only by his aversion to diet and exercise. Garfield and his human Jon Arbuckle debuted on June 19, 1978, and have been enduring/endearing one another ever since.
Garfield's design has evolved steadily since his first appearance in 1978. Though he's lost a little weight and gone bipedal, his heavy eyelids remain a noted constant over the course of four decades. His signature look is typically only be disrupted by situations involving things like stimulants, fear, and presents.
In 2003, Garfield met his original self in a week-long celebration of the strip's 25th anniversary. Such is the power of comics.
Garfield has appeared in more than 12 animated TV specials, 2 animated series, 2 live-action feature films, 3 animated movies, plus scores of video games across all manner of consoles and mobile devices. Garfield also has a second comic book series, separate from his daily strip. If that's not enough, there's even a Garfield musical... with Catitude.
From October 23-28 of 1989, Garfield confronted existential dread in a strip about the power of loneliness and denial. It remains the weirdest Garfield storyline in the strip's 40-year history.

States Spurring Adoption of Electric Vehicles, But Barriers Remain, NGA Report Concludes
White Paper Spotlights Actions by Governors to Lead the Way on Electrification of Transportation
Governors are supporting a variety of policies to encourage greater use of electric vehicles, but many barriers to adoption remain, the National Governors Association (NGA) concluded in a white paper that summarized discussions from four regional workshops.
Motivations for taking action include potential environmental, economic development, resiliency and financial benefits. State interest in the topic is high, as evidenced by the participation in the NGA workshops in Connecticut, Tennessee, Washington and Missouri between November 2018 and May 2019. In total, 40 states and territories participated.
The white paper identified a number of policies and incentives that governors and other state officials have advanced in recent years to spur electrification. These include:
Issuing executive orders to electrify state fleets and set state-wide electrification goals;
Developing strategies for investments under the VW emissions test cheating settlement;
Clarifying rules for third-party (non-utility) providers of charging infrastructure;
Approving proposals by electric utilities for using ratepayer funding to support infrastructure investments;
Adopting zero-emissions vehicle programs; and,
Establishing regional programs to advance infrastructure and vehicle programs across multiple states.
The paper acknowledges that, despite increased efforts, the adoption of electric vehicles remains low in most of the country. The states with the highest levels of adoption, based on 2018 market share, are California at 7.84 percent, Washington at 4.28 percent and Oregon at 3.41 percent. However, many observers expect adoption to grow substantially in the coming years, as the technology improves, initial costs decline, recharging infrastructure becomes more widespread, available vehicle models expand, and consumer familiarity increases. The paper suggests a number of possible actions to help states continue their progress:
Educating the public on available electric vehicle models, incentives and charging stations;
Continuing to assess and refine incentives to make them more impactful and equitable for consumers;
Continuing to utilize the VW settlement funds to expand electrification;
Examining new revenue models to address concerns with transportation revenue impacts; and,
Responding to demand impacts on the electricity grid through new rate designs.

It's 2072 and following a cataclysmic economic and social decline, the UK has been abandoned by its inhabitants in a mass exodus.
Everyone got out except society's outcasts, including a group of young people who were once in care but have taken refuge in the dilapidated third floor of canary wharf.
They now have to make their own society, but it is one that is ruled by 'Daddy' - a ruthless operator, rule marked by superstition, violence and fear.


West Didsbury & Chorlton can confirm the release of Saul Henderson, Samuel Parr and Jordan Poole.
Henderson, 23, affectionately known by the fans as Beef leaves the club having joined in November 2016 after having scored 17 goals in 42 appearances for West including a hat-trick against Runcorn Linnets on Bank Holiday Monday.
Henderson had scored 5 goals from 16 appearances this season.
Jordan Poole, 21, also leaves the club having made 82 appearances for West since joining in 2013. Scoring three goals he also captained the club on a number of occasions.
Sam Parr, 22, joined the club in September and made seven appearances including three from the substitute's bench. Parr transfers to Abbey Hey to play under manager Luke Gibson.
Everyone at West would like to thank them for their efforts during their time at the club and wish them the very best of luck in the future.

Germán Suárez Flamerich (10 April 1907 – 24 June 1990) was the president of Venezuela from 1950 to 1952. Flamerich was a lawyer, college professor, diplomat, and politician. He was president of the Government Junta from 1950 to 1952, after the assassination of Carlos Delgado Chalbaud.

Biography
Flamerich's parents were J.M. Suárez and Clorinda Flamerich. He graduated from the Liceo Caracas high school and then from the Universidad Central de Venezuela. As a college student, he participated in the protests against the dictatorship of Gómez of the "Semana del Estudiante" in February 1928. He was sent to jail in April 1928 and again from October to December 1929.

Flamerich obtained his law degree from the Central University of Venezuela on July 30, 1931, with a thesis entitled Las fundaciones en Venezuela (The Foundations of Venezuela). After obtaining his doctorate, Flamerich became a civil law professor at the Universidad Central de Venezuela. In 1936, after the succession of Eleazar López Contreras to the presidency of Venezuela and the corresponding gradual democratic shift, Flamerich was named Chair of Civil Law. He resigned that position in February 1937 in protest, after police officers forcibly entered the university campus. Between 1937 and 1940 he held the presidency of the Coordinating and Reviewing Commission of Laws, and in 1939 and 1940 he served as president of the Caracas Municipal Council. Between 1940 and 1941 he was president ad honorem of the Price Regulatory Commission.

Flamerich resumed his position as Chair of Civil Law in 1941. For the legislative term from 1941 to 1944, he also became a congressional representative for the Distrito Federal. In that role he opposed a treaty that would demarcate the borders between Colombia and Venezuela, arguing that it was contrary to Venezuela's national interest.

In 1945, the year of the coup d'état led by the Patriotic Military Union and the Democratic Action Party against Isaías Medina Angarita which created Rómulo Betancourt's Revolutionary Government Board, Flamerich returned to the law school at the Central University of Venezuela. That year, he was appointed Dean of the law school there.

On November 14, 1945, he was appointed dean of the UCV Law School, a position in which he remained until 1947. In February 1948, the novelist and candidate for AD, Rómulo Gallegos, took office as President of the Republic after becoming the first president elected by universal, direct and secret vote in the history of Venezuela. However, Gallegos was overthrown on November 24 by the same military leaders who led the 1945 coup. In 1948, Flamerich was named adviser to the Military Junta (1948). He later served as Secretary of Foreign Affairs in 1949 and ambassador to Peru in 1950. On 27 November 1950, he was called to serve as president after the incumbent, Colonel Carlos Delgado Chalbaud, was assassinated. Although Flamerich was the nominal head of the government junta, real power was understood to be exercised by the Defense Minister, junta member Marcos Pérez Jiménez.

When initial results of the 1952 Constituent Assembly elections had the opposition well on its way to victory, the junta halted the count for three days and then released results showing the pro-government bloc with a majority. The junta dissolved itself and handed power to the military, which installed Pérez Jiménez as provisional president; he was confirmed as president a few months later by the Constituent Assembly. Flamerich went into exile for many years afterward. He later returned to Venezuela and worked as a lawyer. He died in Caracas on 24 June 1990.

Personal life
Flamerich was married to Rosario Pérez Carreño, who served as First Lady of Venezuela from 1950–1952,

Event will help seniors clear tech's hurdles

Day by Day: Event will help seniors clear tech's hurdles
When we reach age 55, we are considered senior citizens.
That means we can join a senior center and receive discounts at stores.
Those of us born between 1944 and 1964 often are called baby boomers. We came of age before computers were in homes and certainly before we could hold one in our hand or on our lap.
Most of us, and definitely those born earlier, remember the first TV in our homes, and some remember party lines on telephones. Rarely did we have more than one telephone or TV in our homes. We set what was called rabbit-ear antennae on top of the TV and moved them around to get a fairly good black-and-white picture.
Over the years, we became aware of technology seeping into our daily lives. Those of us fortunate enough to work where we learned our way around computers have a fair advantage over those who did not. We grew into the knowledge, making the advances less traumatic.
Even if senior citizens find technology confusing or frustrating, it can help some stay in their home longer and more safely. It's called "aging in place," meaning a person lives and ages in their residence of choice for as long as they are able.
Aging in place includes having services, care and needed support in the residence.
But the idea meets some hurdles in the health, social and emotional needs that must be addressed to help people maintain well-rounded lives.
The Upper Arlington (Ohio) Commission on Aging understands these challenges and offers an annual symposium on different topics to inform senior citizens.
This year, the topic is "Technology and Aging: What You Need to Know and What You Want to Know."
Presentations will include "Aging and your Health Care" and "Aging in Place."
This year's symposium is set from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m Sept. 18 at Upper Arlington Lutheran Church, 2300 Lytham Road.
From 8:30 to 9 a.m., those who attend may view exhibits from technology groups, companies and other related sponsors with the Upper Arlington Commission on Aging.
The free event includes lunch.
Registration is required, and the deadline is Sept. 11. To register, call 614-407-5748 or go to uacoa.com and use the "contact us" form.
Featured speakers are Donna Matturri, technology and media librarian with the Upper Arlington Public Library, and Danielle Murphy, consumer educator from Attorney General David Yost's office.
"We hear so much in the news about the worst possible outcomes in technology: identity theft, hacking, fake news," Matturri said. "When you have to sort through all that negative noise, it feels nearly impossible to stay positive about using a smartphone or computer.
"Technology can connect us to family and friends (and help us make new friends), keep us organized, help us stay safe and active and, through your local library's resources, entertain you."
Murphy will inform guests about the Cybersecurity, Help, Information and Protection Program.
"The presentation is a basic educational session designed to help consumers stay safe in cyberspace," she said. "As consumers of all ages rely more and more on technology, it is vital they understand how to protect their electronic devices and keep personal information private."
Murphy said her presentation will focus on the importance of security and privacy, including the special challenges brought by mobile devices.
She will offer seniors practical security and privacy tips they can put to use and will provide copies of the CHIPP booklet to all who attend.
This booklet is available at ohioattorneygeneral.gov by clicking on "publications" and looking for the CHIPP under the "consumers" header. The booklet also can be ordered by calling 800-282-0515.
A panel, moderated by Age-Friendly Columbus, will feature representatives from Nesterly, Smart Columbus and Lyft.
The forum is open to all senior citizens.

Education can balance seniors' risk of falling
August 1, 2017 Liz Thompson	age, education, falling, senior citizens, seniors	1 Comment
Watching children intentionally fall on the ground, doing somersaults and hand springs, is delightful. They might end up with a scratch or two, but it's all a part of childhood.
Falling in love is another way to fall painlessly. We retell the stories over and over again, like children doing somersaults.
Too many years have passed to remember when I fell down intentionally.
Now when I fall, it's an accident — and I end up with a lot more than scratches. I have broken bones, bruises and aches and pains that last for weeks.
I adapt daily to stay upright and encourage others to do the same.
Ohio statistics are discouraging: In 2014, Ohioans age 65 and older accounted for 84 percent of deaths by falling and 74 percent of nonfatal fall hospitalizations.
More than 60 percent of these falls happen in the home.
Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury in Ohio residents in this same age group. Usually when I fall, I hit my head, which terrifies me. It makes me rethink how I motivate through my day. I'm selective about when and where I go outside the home.
Each week, there are more than 1,500 emergency department visits, close to 400 hospitalizations and 22 deaths due to fall injuries of this same Ohio population.
In 2015, 537,222 of Ohio adults ages 65 and older reported having fallen.
According to the National Council on Aging's STEADI project, causes of falling include leg weakness, mobility problems, balance issues, poor vision, multiple medications and risky behavior.
"Risky behavior" in this population can mean, as we age, we forget we can't do things the way we had for many years. It becomes unsafe to carry heavy items while walking, to use ladders, or to stand up and walk before we're ready.
It's not worth the risk.
I've learned that when I ask for help, most people lend a hand with a smile. They want to help, but don't know what to do.
Risk factors we can modify include removing clutter and tripping hazards; adding grip bars near commodes and in showers and tubs; installing handrails on staircases; and improving lighting. Those who need mobility aids should use them.
I no longer worry about how I look using a cane, walker or one of my motorized chairs. I'm in the age bracket I'm writing about, not just one of thousands with multiple sclerosis and other conditions that give us reasons to use assistance — conditions that also add to our likelihood of falling.
Do I always listen to my own advice? No.
The phrase "Too soon old, too late smart" suits me, yet I'm determined to become determined about each step I take.
The Upper Arlington Commission on Aging is partnering with Mount Carmel Health to present information on the topic of fall prevention and balance. The free program is set from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 20 at Upper Arlington Lutheran Church, 2300 Lytham Road.
Quality of life diminishes once a fall occurs. Prevention is an important key to aging well, and that is one goal of these speakers at the program.
Dr. Victor Dizon, trauma medical director, will present a case scenario involving an older person who fell and sustained multiple injuries to demonstrate how badly someone can be injured from a "simple fall."
Audiologist Lisa Hansel will discuss an underlying and treatable balance impairment that may cause falling.
Angie Caplinger, a physical therapist, will conduct balance screenings to assess people's ability to maintain balance in various conditions. The screening indicates if a person is at risk for falling.
Lori Candon, who practices inner nature yoga, will have a short tai chi demonstration between educational speakers. Tai chi has been shown to help improve balance.
Registration is required; call 614-583-5326 by Sept. 13.
"Fall" in line to learn more. With knowledge and care we can lower the statistics and live more fully.

Help available for local seniors

Like it or not, we are aging, every day. When we find our first gray hair and start noticing how many stairs there are — everywhere — life starts changing.
Most of us, once settled in a home and community, want to stay there and keep our independence. To do that safely takes planning, but it can be done.
Two Ohio legislators, state Reps. Cheryl Grossman (R-Grove City) and Michael Stinziano (D-Columbus), have taken steps to help that happen. They sponsored House Bill 84, the Ohio Home Renovation Tax Credit.
According to the legislation, it "would provide up to a $5,000 non-refundable income tax credit for the costs incurred to modify an existing home."
The bill states, "The accessibility features promoted in HB 84 represent an evidence-based prevention strategy that has been shown to reduce the incidence of falls among older adults."
HB 84 says home modification promotes independent living. Getting the legislation passed is still in the works.
Some safety measures homeowners can take include having good lighting and working smoke alarms, clearing walkways inside and out, removing loose rugs, and installing grab bars in the bathroom/shower/tub and sturdy handrails on both sides of stairs.
If falling is an issue, especially when living alone, an optional alert system might be a good call. A person wears a bracelet or pendant with a button to push when he or she falls and needs assistance. Learning to use a cane, walker or scooter can help a person get around safely and is worth thinking about.
When help becomes a necessity, we may not know where to turn. The good news is there are answers.
The Franklin County Office on Aging has a Senior Options program that funds three suburban call centers that offer well-being checks via telephone and other services.
Judy Lewis, activity and outreach leader at the Evans Senior Center in Grove City, said its Senior Call program ( 614-277-1060) began because Jackson Township paramedics saw many seniors or people with disabilities who were alone and had few resources. They contacted her and with her help, the fire and police departments developed the program in 2004.
"We get calls from all over, not just the Grove City area, because we are in the Senior Options brochure," Lewis said. "I can't turn them away."
She meets applicants in their homes to learn about their needs, when they want a phone call and to match them with the right volunteer.
"It's a rewarding opportunity for the volunteers," Lewis said.
Grove City offers Smart911 for residents. This free service allows citizens to create a safety profile on smart911.com for their household that includes any information they want 911 to have in the event of an emergency.
Upper Arlington offers Kind Call (614-442-4016), a telephone check-in service that is free for residents. The automated calling system tries each phone number up to three times; if there is no answer, a dispatcher tries. If that fails, a police officer checks the residence.
UA also has the File of Life program. Information pouches were mailed to residents age 60 and older to fill out with medical and contact information to display on their refrigerators. It helps emergency personnel know where to look when responding to a 911 call.
"It's important to stay engaged physically and socially. Stay strong and have a system in place where someone checks on you. We need to watch out for each other," said Amy Schossler, director of the Upper Arlington Commission on Aging.
She suggests contacting local senior centers for information and to find ways to stay involved in the community.
Westerville's Safe Call (614-901-6790) is free to anyone who is homebound, disabled or elderly and lives within city limits or in Blendon Township. If no one answers the automated call at the set time, the call goes to a designated backup person to check on the resident. If that fails, a paramedic and police officer go to the home.
"It has no restrictions of age or need. Anyone who feels the need to receive a check-in call can sign up," said communication technician Kippy Shurman.
Westerville Chief Fire Marshall Paris Smith-Higbie is in charge of fire inspection, investigation and public education.
"Prevention is important and we offer home fire safety inspections upon request," he said. "We point out fire and tripping hazards and how to correct them and we make recommendations for things like handrails."
Call (614-901-6600) to request an inspection.
These towns offer more than I can write here. Check your city offices for what might be available or contact the Franklin County Office on Aging at 614-525-5230 or officeonaging.org for more information about available assistance.
