A transfer center acts as a hub for patient referrals between a healthcare system and all the clinics, hospitals, and physician offices in its region.
For hospital administrators, patient transfer requests present both a challenge and an opportunity. Patient transfers add revenue to the hospital and can help establish relationships with external physicians for continued referrals. In addition, transfers can assist administrators in growing service lines of interest to the enterprise, as many in-patient transfers are driven by the need for greater specialty care.
Transfer centers enhance patient care and contribute to a hospital's financial performance. Learn how pioneering facilities nationwide are utilizing transfer centers in this whitepaper.

At the same time, if you want the best kitchen outlook it means that you have to go another mile in finding the best contractor for the service. This websitecontains incredible tips that you can follow to obtain a good kitchen cabinet contractor for your services.
Begin at planning before you look for a contractor. You could be in need of remodeling your kitchen or wanting to achieve a new outlook for your kitchen. Planning is where you begin regardless of a kind of service that you need. In your planning, think about the size of the cabinet that you want, the color, the location for the burner, and any other details that are necessary for your kitchen. It adequately prepares you before meeting the contractor so that once you have them you can plan and see into the details that you need if they can meet them.
Once that is done get into the business of finding a contractor and talk to as many cabinet contractors as possible. Planning sets the requirements, and it becomes easy in shortlisting a contractor. Check from websites as well as talked to friends and family so that you can get a referral for good kitchen cabinet contractor. Once you have shortlisted the number of them set up an appointment with them so that you can agree on a few matters and get all the details. Let them understand what you require the end of the day so that they can know if they are ready for such a role or not. During these meetings begin to share or your thoughts and questions and fears so that they can elaborate where need be.
Evaluate their work experience on kitchen cabinet services. Read more now through the reviews and see page on how the previous customers experienced when they were in need of their services. Let the contract be put on paper and agree or not the details before you sign up for the contract. A good kitchen cabinet contractor will always provide the details about the quality of the materials that they will use in work, the timelines within which they expect to finish the work, and any other necessary thing that is needed in work. In case of any warranties they are so diligent to give you proper services. With the paperwork you can agree on various things and ensure that you sign for the same. If you want to have a peaceful time in your project then ensure that the contractor is diligent enough to give you details on paperwork so that you can know what you are signing up for in the entire service.


I usually post about words and editing-related things, but this time I wanted to share a great experience I had the other week. I was aware of the Birmingham Social Media Surgery but didn't really know what it was and how it worked. Last Wednesday, I saw a few tweets asking for volunteers to help. But I didn't really know what the parameters were and what constituted an "expert" who could help other people learn about using social media. So I waited until I was in town late that afternoon, and popped along to the Orange Studios on Cannon Street (Birmingham), which is where they are always held.
I met the organisers and explained I was there to help; they took my details and said they'd match me up with a visitor so I could start helping. They even lent me a laptop for the occasion (this was a Mac, which caused me some consternation and could have been embarrassing – "Yes, I know all about the internet; unfortunately I'm unable to use a computer!") By this time, I'd gathered that the point of a Social Media Surgery is that people who know about social media and how to use it help people involved with community and charitable organisations to learn about blogging, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
I was paired up with a chap who'd come in just after me. We sat down and I found out his background (he helped community organisations promote themselves and their events), established where he was so far, then chatted about how he could use social media more effectively. For example, I showed him how to link his LinkedIn account to Twitter, we chatted about the (lack of) etiquette for posting on Twitter, and I think possibly the most useful thing – the fact that, in this world of New Media and Social Media, if you see someone doing something you think is good, they usually don't mind if you contact them and ask them how they did it! As I've worked for a New Deal For Communities project in the past, and have organised and promoted events, using social media, hopefully I had some background knowledge which would help.
I've enjoyed sharing my experiences and giving advice at Birmingham Social Media Cafe before now, but that's more for other entrepreneurs. This is real grass-roots stuff, helping groups who may be digitally disadvantaged grasp the opportunities some of us take for granted or have been fortunate enough to have the time, education and resources to work out for ourselves. I came away feeling great about having been able to share some of my knowledge and help someone who can help people perhaps less fortunate, but definitely less digitally-literate, than myself. I didn't set myself up as an "expert" but the team there were supportive and friendly.
I'd recommend any entrepreneurs and small business owners out there to "give something back" in this kind of way. It's so rewarding, relationships can be forged which may well be beneficial to both parties, and I hope I'll be back every month!
Hi Liz. Glad to hear you enjoyed the social media surgery and thanks for sharing your experience. It's always good to hear what others think of the surgeries – and great to see new faces helping out too. Thanks again for coming along. Hope to see you at the next few surgeries!
Thanks Gavin – glad you liked the post and indeed, I'll be along to them whenever I can!
Sounds great Liz – I think I'll head along to the next one to see what it's all about!
Great, Sarah – it'll be useful to you if you're going to continue to work with community organisations, or if you're up to speed with all your social media stuff you can come and share your knowledge! Hopefully see you there.
Really puts across very well how much difference helping at a social media surgery can make.
Nick was the one who originally got me involved and now i'm hooked! However, despite helping at many surgeries, a blog like this is refreshing to read!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, Paul – I'm glad people involved with the SMS project have found this valuable; I'm always glad to tell people about it!

Bigg Boss 12 season's one of the most talked about Jodi is Jasleen Matharu and Anup Jalota. They entered as a couple, then they had a big fall out and broke up on the show, and then got together…yeah all in the span of three weeks! Then, Bigg Boss sent Anup to a secret room and that was a game changer for both, as contestants. After coming back from secret room, Anup and Jasleen were a part of a task along with everyone else…to guess secrets of each other. It was revealed then that Jasleen was in fact in a relationship with Sukhwinder Singh and Anup said he knew about it because there was talk about it in his circle. Sukhwinder was asked about this by a daily and he vehemently denied being in a relationship with Jasleen.
Singh said that he and Jasleen's family are very close and he has worked a lot with the singer. He also revealed that she calls him Bablu fondly and even met up with him before entering the house but denied being in a relationship with her. He also seemed so shocked that he revealed that he would go and clear this out with Jasleen's dad Kesar Matharu.
Jasleen and Anup are currently in the house and playing as single contestants. While their chemistry was off the charts during a first few episodes, it seems to have fizzled out now. Anup got insecure with Jasleen getting pally with Shivashish and Romil but soon moved passed the same. But the new piece of information about Sukhvinder Singh and Jasleen sure grabbed attention.

Indigenous journalist spoofs the issues on Walking Eagle News
BY Jamie Pashagumskum Nov 23, 2018
"Probably 99% of the stories that I've done on the site have some basis in fact. I just twist the details a bit when writing them. It's based on some reality of Indigenous people."
Tim Fontaine, Editor-in-grand-chief, walking eagle news
In this Trump-ed up era of "fake news", Native journalist Tim Fontaine's satirical website Walking Eagle News pokes fun at Native issues, the relationships between Indigenous peoples and Canada as well as many other aspects of current events.
Fontaine was at Ottawa's Carleton University November 6 discussing his forum, which offers headlines, such as "Shock waves from Saganash f-bomb continue to reverberate in Ottawa, across nation," "Rez dogs claim responsibility for garbage attack," and "Study suggests Indigenous Peoples often studied."
Before starting the Walking Eagle News in November 2017 and becoming what he calls a "pretend journalist", Fontaine's career began in Saskatchewan as a freelance writer for newspapers. He also worked for the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) as a writer and researcher. In 2014, he began working for CBC Radio in Manitoba as an associate producer before becoming the head journalist for their Indigenous unit, a position he held until 2017.
Fontaine, a member of the Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba, now lives in Winnipeg and can be seen on the APTN's weekly satirical news and talk show The Laughing Drum.
As a journalist for two decades and working in comedy as a founding member of the live comedy group The Crow Hop Café, the merging of his two passions seemed like a natural progression in Fontaine's career. He feels that his site is a beneficial addition to Aboriginal news.
"People are having discussions because of the stories," Fontaine said. "That's a good thing. If it has an educating effect then that can't be bad."
One of the reasons he was asked to speak at Carleton University was because of his popularity with the young Indigenous students there. But he said his articles are also popular with the older crowds who are more familiar with past political issues.
Fontaine said although the articles on his site are mainly written for a Native audience it does have a substantial non-Indigenous audience. He had the impression that a large portion of the Canadian population was not aware of Aboriginal issues and he hopes his site can help bring some of those topics to the public.
"A good story will get about 20,000 readers. It's people from all sides of the political spectrum. Lots of Indigenous people, lots of non-Indigenous people. Lots from Canada," Fontaine said.
Although the Walking Eagle News is meant to be a positive medium promoting awareness with a sense of humour, there are those critical of its comedy and Fontaine does receive complaints about his site.
"Some people don't like it, but they still follow it. I think they like that it makes them mad," Fontaine said.
But Fontaine says he doesn't intend to anger anyone. There are some readers who don't realize that his articles are works of satire and mistake them for real news despite the disclaimer.
"I grapple with that, whether it's actually helping or hurting things and causing fake news and misinformation," he said.
For the most part, Fontaine feels his site does more good than bad and helps to keep Aboriginal issues on people's minds.
Fontaine has a crowd-funding campaign on Patreon that has so far raised about US$1100, which he calls a "tip jar." He said he is proud that people are willing to give him money each month to continue doing his website.
Re-runs of the first season of Fontaine's show, The Laughing Drum, can be seen on APTN as well as on YouTube. The second season begins shooting in January 2019. He also has a documentary series on the same network that is currently in the works.

In order for leading industrial companies to remain competitive, the process of product developement constantly needs to improve. In order to shorten development time -- that is the time from idea to product -- simulations of products in-house is becoming a popular method. This method saves money and time since expensive prototypes become unnecessary. Today the calibration of steering gears is done in test vehicles by experienced test drivers. This is a time consuming process that is very costly because of expensive test vehicles. This report investigates possibilities and difficulties with transfering the calibrations from field to rig. A steering rig has been integrated with a car simulation program. Comparisons between simulation in the loop (SIL) and hardware in the loop (HIL) have been made and differences between different configurations of steering gears have been evaluated. An automatic process including calibration of parameters, testing and analysis of the test results has been implemented. The work laid the foundation of calibration of steering parameters and showed correlation between calibration parameters and objective metrics.

Meeting the Covid-19 challenge
Kingston University shortlisted for Higher Education Academy CATE award for collaborative project exploring themes of race and culture
Posted Tuesday 5 September 2017
Sociology lecturer Dr Sonya Sharma speaking to filmmaker and Kingston University graduate Freddie Osborne as part of the Taking Race Live project, which has been shortlisted for a Higher Education Academy CATE award.
Kingston University has been shortlisted for a top Higher Education Academy (HEA) award for an influential project designed to bring students from a number of courses together to creatively explore themes of race, ethnicity and culture.
The University is one of 15 institutions named as a finalist in the HEA's Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE) in recognition of its Taking Race Live project. The awards celebrate outstanding contributions to teaching by teams at higher education providers – with finalists being required to demonstrate direct student involvement in their work.
Six winning institutions from a shortlist of 15 will be awarded grants of £15,000 to share their learning.
First developed within the sociology department to bring critical understandings of race and culture to life by putting students at the heart of their own learning, the Taking Race Live project has expanded into a collaborative scheme – initially with drama students and then across three further teams in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
Through the initiative, sociology, media and television, drama, music and dance students are given the opportunity to attend events and exhibitions, hear from guest speakers and work across disciplines on creative responses. These result in a series of performances and presentations throughout the year.
Taking learning out of the classroom and providing hands-on event planning and research experience allowed students to develop both their personal and professional skills, according to sociology lecturer Dr Sonya Sharma.
Sociology lecturer Dr Sonya Sharma (left) and associate professor of music Dr Helen Minors (right) have worked together on the Taking Race Live project."Learning from visits to the Black Cultural Archives and the National Portrait Gallery, as well as from each other in terms of how they respond to what they have seen and heard, creates a real sense of belonging and ownership," she said. "A key part of this is relationship building - students who become part of the project get to know staff and students both within and across disciplines."
Dr Sharma said sociology research projects had come alive through dance and drama and the students had acquired key employability skills by taking a leading role in managing the pop-up events, symposiums and their own research. "It opens up their world and they learn how others view the issues we are looking at through the lens of culture and the arts," she added.
As part of each course's curriculum, academics give guest lectures – with sociology and music experts addressing each other's students – all based around concepts of race and culture.
Students also played a leading role in organising events and hosting symposiums for staff and students, with funding provided for several paid roles each year through a student partnership scheme, associate professor of music Helen Minors explained.
"It's all about empowering students to take ownership of the project, breaking down barriers through exploring the issues of race, ethnicity and culture through sociology and arts disciplines," she said. "The keynote addresses have sparked lots of debate, giving students different perspectives on topics through the collaboration. We encourage them to take the lead in asking questions of us and each other and as academics we have also learnt a huge amount from their experiences."
The Taking Race Live project forms part of the University's award-winning inclusive curriculum framework, designed to ensure the content and delivery of courses was relevant and meaningful to students from all backgrounds.
It also supports the University's drive to help increase the number of students from black and ethnic minority (BME) backgrounds who achieve good degrees - tackling a discrepancy known nationally as the BME attainment gap.
The recognition from the Higher Education Academy demonstrated the pioneering work being undertaken across the University to provide the highest quality teaching and support for all its students, according to Pro Vice-Chancellor for Learning and Teaching Dr Clarissa Wilks.
"The success of this project really shows the benefits of a student-centred approach to teaching, giving students the tools they need to take ownership of their own learning - both outside of the classroom and also from each other," she said. "Alongside the confidence and skills they develop through such initiatives, this also showcases how students can take advantage of the excellent teaching on offer across a number of disciplines and gain new perspectives that will help prepare them for their future careers."
The six winning teams will be announced at an awards ceremony on 1 November.
The Higher Education Academy has also recognised two award-winning Kingston University academics for their commitment to driving forward innovations in critical thinking and inclusivity with National Teaching Fellowships. The prestigious accolades – for associate professor Dr Annie Hughes, head of the University's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) centre, and marketing and communications lecturer Hilary Wason, from Kingston Business School – celebrate individuals who have demonstrated the very best in teaching excellence.

Today was a busy day in my garden. I planted two Comptesse de Bouchard clematis to grow up the arbor over the path at the side of the house. The arbor had fallen over in heavy wintry wind a few months ago, and I subsequently decided to replace the Confederate jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) that had done so well there (see my post for 1-31-14). In a way that isn't so bad. Certainly the jasmine had a captivating fragrance, but it grew so fast that it was a constant chore to keep it in place. The lesson there is that Confederate jasmine needs a much larger arbor than three and a half feet wide. I had much success with Comptesse de Bouchard in my Chapel Hill garden and was delighted to find two well developed plants for sale.
I planted another Itoh peony, Bartzella, last fall and I am looking forward to its yellow blossoms. Both of them are covered with buds, primary and secondary. Itoh peonies are not cheap. It may be a few years before their price will drop, but I could not wait. For Christmas, my daughters gave me a gift card at one of my usual garden centers, so I was able to get Keiko for less than half price.
Today is also my youngest daughter's birthday. She is a far away in California, and we will talk before the night is out. I think I will always attach that peony to Mary Shannon's day. If the peony brings me joy anywhere near what my daughter has, it will be money well spent.

Though, I'm not sure myself if basic instinct is the right thing to do. At this point it tells me to escape the circumstances.
So, I'm thinking that and I bump on this one story.

Readers take Ken, Cal to woodshed
Post regulars Hamblin, Thomas garner most votes in 'Can the Columnist' contest
Dec. 22, 2002, Rocky Mountain News
Thanks to everyone who wrote in with ideas for my "Can the Columnist" contest of Dec. 8. Special thanks to those whose mothers raised them properly, and who understand that politeness is just as necessary in e-mail as in printed correspondence. The (non)winners of the contest are the following. For national columnists: Cal Thomas. Locally: Ken Hamblin.
A syndicated columnist since 1984, Thomas took a five-year leave of absence to serve as the spokesman for Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority. Thomas appears in The Denver Post two to three times a month, sometimes on Sundays and sometimes on weekdays. Nationally, more than 500 newspapers run his column.
Some of the reader complaints stemmed from the fact that Thomas is very conservative. But others said that he was just boring. A conservative letter writer said that Thomas is neither "profound" nor "deep."
Such complaints have some merit. Thomas is an entirely competent writer, but rarely dazzling in his style. His columns make legitimate points, but they rarely advance the story with fresh insights or new reporting. In contrast, Post columnists Al Knight and Diane Carman often call attention to a new issue, rather than merely commenting on an existing one. National columnists William Safire and Robert Novak often report news of political intrigues, or other facts that add to understanding of an issue.
Although Thomas' columns are good but not great, he does fulfill an important diversity niche on the editorial pages. He's one of the very few national columnists who writes from a conservative religious perspective. Indeed, as a Christian conservative, Thomas is virtually alone among major syndicated columnists.
Still, I think the Post could add some zip to its offerings by sometimes replacing Thomas with Dennis Prager. Prager is a Jewish national radio talk-show host based in Los Angeles. You can find his column at Townhall.com, and locally he's carried in the Intermountain Jewish News. More so than Thomas, Prager incorporates formal ethical analysis into his columns, making him especially suitable for a religious conservative columnist slot.
Locally, the Post's Ken Hamblin aroused more reader wrath than anyone else, with Mike Rosen in the Rocky Mountain News coming in second (and me coming in third, for having dared to criticize Maureen Dowd). Hamblin's columns vary greatly in quality. On bad days, they can just be a litany of his opinions; on good days, though, especially when he's writing about local issues, he's very sharp.
As a local black conservative, Hamblin adds a unique perspective that is nearly impossible to replace.
Of course my column only asked for critical opinion, and didn't attempt to measure positive reader support for any columnist. I suspect that Hamblin, like Rosen, has a very loyal base of readers who are grateful for his long record as a conservative voice in Colorado.
For proposed new columnists, the readers sent in plenty of great ideas. Locally, there were suggestions for former U.S. Sen. Hank Brown, and for Ari Armstrong, the publisher of the Web magazine Colorado Freedom Report. Armstrong, with whom I've occasionally co-written articles, would add a libertarian voice to the Post, and he works very hard to add original research to his opinion pieces.
Nationally, some readers wanted to see more of Jacob Sullum (a syndicated libertarian columnist and senior editor of Reason magazine), Joe Sobran (a conservative critic of aggressive American foreign policy), Shelby Steele (a fellow at the Hoover Institution who writes frequently on racial issues for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal); Larry Elder (black conservative Los Angeles radio host); and Robert George (New York Post/National Review Online).
With the Post no longer running Pat Buchanan, neither paper presents a voice from the isolationist, anti-Israel Old Right.
Occasional columns from Sobran would broaden the editorial range at either paper. Sullum would broaden the range at the Post.
For liberal columnists, some readers wanted to see columns by ex-conservative Arianna Huffington, by Barbara Ehrenreich (a feminist who usually writes for magazines rather than newspapers) and Robert Scheer, a syndicated columnist based in California.
One reader thought that Scheer, who currently appears occasionally in the Post, and weekly in the Boulder Daily Camera, would be a "true progressive voice" who could replace "counterfeit 'liberal' " David Broder.
Scheer's positions are pretty similar to those of Paul Krugman. Scheer is a little less predictable and partisan, though; he endorsed a Republican for U.S. Senate in California (against drug war zealot Dianne Feinstein) and criticized the federal persecution of Microsoft.

Popular titles include The Kite Runner, which documents the boyhood friendship of two friends in Afghanistan and Four Feet, Two Sandals, a picture book about two girls in a refugee camp.
World Refugee Day is an opportunity to salute the strength and courage of refugees; the solidarity of those countries, including Ireland, who assist refugees; and the contribution refugees make to countries around the world.
Libraries in County Clare will have a book display highlighting books that explore refugee related issues. Killaloe Library presents a showing of the film The Good Lie at 7.30 on Friday 23rd of June.

TZEDAKAH: THE DEMISE OF THE PUSHKA
By Rabbi Kenneth L. Cohen
When my mother died last year, I inherited a little money, some "chachkas" (yiddish for knick knacks), and a lot of memories.
But one thing I took from her home and will always cherish combined all three of these things. It was her little "blue box" in which she put pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters to help redeem the promised land. Such little tin boxes were common enough in Jewish homes. On the front of most of these blue boxes was a map of Israel. Mom's, however, was different. It was so old that it didn't have Israel on it. When she got it when she was a newlywed, there was no Israel. Israel was still a dream. The blue and white box was adorned with a star of David and a map of British Palestine.
My own Jewish education, which ultimately led me to become a rabbi, was tied up with this little box. When I was barely old enough to walk, every Friday evening, before Mom would light candles, I was introduced to a ritual which I continue with my son Zachary. I was given two coins. One, I was told, was for me. The other was for the box.
The Yiddish word for charity box is "pushke." To my enormous regret, the "pushke" has become somewhat obsolete. Not that Jewish people are not as generous as they once were. God forbid! Philanthropy-remains a hallmark of our community even where piety and traditional learning have waned. But the "pushke"? It is a relic, threatened
not by frugality, but by inflation and technology. Alas, coins are not worth what they once were. "Pushkas," which must be distributed and collected, are not cost effective. It is more economical to give charity with a check, which, in turn, can be used for tax credits. The modern philanthropist is likely to charge his or her contribution to a credit card. Now Mom didn't know about frequent flyer miles, but when it came to worthy causes, she was a high flyer.
The demise of the "pushke" is not a tragedy for philanthropy. But it is a tragedy for Jewish education. A child cannot help write a check. A three year old does not know what to do with a credit card. But a little fellow or a little lass can put coins in a box. In this way a child can be initiated into this great mitzvah (good deed). In this manner each boy and girl can learn, in a very real sense that charity begins at home.
Rabbi Yisrael Salanter was once asked: How do you take care of your spiritual needs? He responded "By taking care of somebody else's physical needs."
Rebbe Levi Yitzhak of Berdichev said "Rather than take care of somebody else's should and your own body, take care of somebody else's body and your own

They come in various colors, shapes and sizes available for persons of all ages. With any of the shirts, you will clearly be able to make your statement as an ardent rock fan.
By browsing through the t-shirt listings, you can clearly see that you will have a wide listing of tees to choose from which should give you a variety of items.

Some imprints entail some album and single titles that the band is widely renowned for. Others just have a number of symbols and general messages that the band wished to pass on to its huge fan base as part of building on their popularity.

With the shirts, you will be able to get a better understanding of this English rock band that was formed in Crawley, West Sussex back in 1976. By the late seventies, the band was ready to release their debut album titled Three Imaginary Boys. The content of the album was quite incredible as a number of singles from the album received a lot of airplay and this helped on their popularity and fame. The singles placed the band as part of the post punk and new wave movements that existed at the time. The wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom came as a challenge to the band and they realized that they were not alone and they had to really up their game so they could stand out.

What began as an attempt to pen the unofficial 11th season of "Friends" morphed into the theatrical equivalent of Rachel's Thanksgiving trifle. Pretty much everything was thrown into the mix — "Custard, good! Jam, good! Meat, good!" — whether it went together or not.
"We basically took all of the classic, iconic storylines of the 10 seasons and then squashed them into an hour-and-a-half show," says Paul Stancato, who directed "Friends! The Musical Parody" off-Broadway and is helming the local production that opens Friday at the D Las Vegas.
As the name implies, the show leans into its music, something "Friends" never cared that much about aside from the hand-clappy theme song, the occasional Phoebe tune — "Smelly Cat," "Sticky Shoes," etc. — and that time Chandler, Ross and Monica went to a Hootie concert and the latter made out with a Blowfish.
Something obviously clicked with audiences who saw "Friends! The Musical Parody" during its run at St. Luke's Theatre in Manhattan. Originally scheduled to last just two months at the end of 2017, the loving spoof was extended twice before closing July 22 after 230 performances.
Casey Weems, who performed locally in "Evil Dead: The Musical," pursued the role of Phoebe the way Brooke Shields' delusional Erika Ford once went after Joey's Dr. Drake Ramoray.
Those jokes range from the universal to the carefully crafted deep cuts and Easter eggs geared toward the "Friends" fanatics who can tell you that Chandler's father's all-male Las Vegas burlesque show was named "Viva Las Gaygas"; that Joey once had an imaginary friend, a space cowboy named Maurice; or that, despite Rachel's insistence, Chandler never, ever worked as a transponster.
"I can't tell you how many times people just shout the lines out before the actors can even say them," Stancato says.
In the Season 2 episode "The One Where Ross Finds Out," the once lovestruck Ross listens to an answering machine message, left by Rachel after she drank too much wine, in which she informs him that she's over him.

David Oliver Joyce awarded APB decision
August 6, 2015 irishboxing
By Bernard O'Neill
David Oliver Joyce has been declared the winner of his AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) bout with Brazilian Olympian Robson Conceicao.
Both men met in Uzbekistan on July 18, but the lightweight bout ended in a technical draw after Joyce had to retire with a head wound after an accidental clash of heads in the second round.
Joyce, who received six stitches to the wound, was ahead on two cards when the bout with stopped and would probably have won the second round as well.
Conceicao beat Vasyl Lomachenko of the Ukraine, considered by the many to be one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time, at the 2011 World Championships but the result was overturned on appeal.
The Irish Amateur Boxing Association were yesterday informed of the AIBA decision.
Joyce, a three-time EU and five-time Irish Elite champion, now improves to three wins from five from the unaugural APB season.

Attention SNAIL Hosts: If you have any saved lobby settings from before the update on Wednesday night, make sure you delete them and create fresh ones.
There seems to be an issue with getting stuck on grid when loading old lobby settings post update.
@racingchamp30 are you able to host tonight and moving forward for the division? I have you penciled in for now.
Also, anyone who plans on hosting or creating practice rooms, see the above post.
I can do hosting and replays.

I have you as host now - thank you, but @gulfvet67 stepped up and said he would upload replays. I added you as backup.
Does the server get posted here?
Edit (clarification): The lobby numbers are posted in the main thread on race nights.
Thank you for volunteering your time and services. This month we have it covered.
It gets posted in the main thread. Hope you had a fun first week in SNAIL.
Even though I hoped for better outcomes, I had a great time and lots of laughs last night.
@JLBowler Looks like you pretty much nailed the D4 drivers list. Watching some of the replays last night I saw some really good battles throughout the field.

Thank you to @gulfvet67 @stelephant @vsfit for your help in D4 in keeping the racing flowing and on time. Was a blast Sunday Night. Welcome to all New drivers as well. @stevenson44 you will get faster and learn the braking lines of Snail veterans who have been in this league for years. Was the same for me when i first started in Snail where i was slower than the rest of pack and over time either got faster or as fast as others. Where each new driver learns from myself or others who been in Snail just like i was taught from the drivers who were in Snail long before i was.

With a lot of options available, it can be very difficult to know if you are buying the best quality jewelry out there which is why it is very important for you to know the best tips to make sure that you only buy the best-quality jewelry pieces out there that gives value for your money.
Everybody knows that pieces of jewelry are very exquisite, it gives an added finesse, glamour, and elitist feel every time you fancy it in events, and occasions, but not everything that glitters is the best quality out there. There are tons of local and luxury jewellery shop online which are pretty hard to put your trust on and it is also difficult to create a good assessment if whether or not they are selling authentic and good-quality jewelry products considering that these fashionable items are worth huge amounts of money and it is also considered an investment for some.
To help you out in determining if the jewelry shop sells good-quality jewelry pieces, read this article about the best tips to ensure that you are buying legitimate and the real deal bling-bling.
Inspect the price of their most expensive jewelry pieces- Usually, well-known jewelers confidently divulge to the public the very expensive price tag of a jewelry piece to make sure that it can be turned into an instant ornament to identify a person's status symbol. Also, these prices are regulated and follow strict standards in the jewelry making industry. Make sure that you compare prices from different jewelers because each price differs from one another. For example, the higher the karat of a gold necklace is, the more expensive it will be.
Talk closely to the jeweler- Usually, jewelers will surely market their products with great enthusiasm which is why it is not hard to talk to a jeweler especially if you have a serious intent to purchase one of their jewelry pieces. However, when it comes to talking, please do not do it via a phone, or via an email, but rather, go visit the jewelry shop and talk to them personally so that you can get the best details of their jewelry pieces. In this way, you can determine the quality of their jewelry pieces and determine if it is the best or not.
Check for grade specifications or hallmarks- Real jewelry has its own hallmarks to distinguish if it is genuine or not, however, this does not guarantee you if it is of great-quality or not. Hallmarks are usually engraved and detailed discreetly in certain parts of the jewelry and these are extremely little to read which requires a magnifying glass.
Physically check the jewelry- One of the best ways to determine if the jewelry is of great quality or not is to physically check it thoroughly. Just simply use a magnet because real jewelry pieces such as silver and gold are not magnetic. If it does not stick to the magnet, then it is real, but that does not tell if it is high-grade or not. Make sure that you learn how to intricately check if the jewelry is made with good quality.

Disney+ Streaming Service To Include Movies From The Disney Vault
by Whitney Littlejohn · March 8, 2019
Aside from the huge Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge news we received yesterday at the Walt Disney Shareholders Meeting, Bob Iger gave some updates on the new Disney+ streaming service that is set to debut later this year. It will include A LOT of movies, in those in the Vault.
The "Disney Vault" is the term used by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment for its policy of putting home video releases of Walt Disney Animation Studios's animated features on moratorium. Each Disney film is available for purchase for a limited time, after which it is put "in the vault" and not made available in stores for several years until its re-release.
We knew that movies from Marvel, Pixar, Fox, and Lucasfilm will be on there, but we also got confirmation that the service would also include the "vaulted" movies.
"I think the strategy will be long term pretty heavily weighted toward internally sourced," Iger stated, but "there will be occasions where we will be glad to license from third parties. Because the Fox deal hasn't closed yet — so we can't take advantage of some of their capabilities — and because we need to launch the [Disney+] service with some volume and it takes time to ramp up, we're buying certain products form the outside opportunistically."
Disney+ is an upcoming online video streaming subscription service owned and operated by BAMTech, a subsidiary of Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International. The service is set to launch in the United States in September 2019, and will be focused on film and television content from Walt Disney Studios.

ASCO: Low-Fat Dietary Pattern Cuts Breast Cancer Deaths
Significant reduction in deaths from breast cancer after cumulative follow-up of 19.6 years
THURSDAY, May 16, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- A low-fat dietary intervention is associated with reductions in deaths after breast cancer and deaths from breast cancer among postmenopausal women after long-term follow-up, according to a study scheduled to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Oncology, held from May 31 to June 4 in Chicago.
Rowan T. Chlebowski, M.D., Ph.D., from the Los Angeles BioMedical Research Institute in Torrance, California, and colleagues conducted the randomized Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification clinical trial, which involved 48,835 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 79 years with no previous breast cancer. Women were randomly assigned from 1993 to 1998 to either usual diet (60 percent) or a dietary intervention group with goals to reduce fat intake to 20 percent of energy and increase vegetables, fruit, and grain intake (40 percent).
The researchers observed a significant reduction in fat intake and increase in fruit, vegetable, and grain intake with the dietary intervention, with modest weight loss (3 percent). Deaths after breast cancer were significantly reduced in the intervention group during the intervention (hazard ratio, 0.65) and through 16.1 years of cumulative follow-up. After a cumulative follow-up of 19.6 years, with 3,374 incident breast cancers, the significant reduction in deaths after breast cancer persisted (hazard ratio, 0.85) and there was a significant reduction in deaths from breast cancer (hazard ratio, 0.79).
"These findings provide the first randomized clinical trial evidence that a dietary change can reduce a postmenopausal woman's risk of dying from breast cancer," the authors write.

Great Rock sound from this album i have listened to it all day in my van and just can't get enough of it.luciana has a amazing voice and really belts the rock songs out but can also sing the ballards with great softness.the album moves along at a cracking pace right from the start with Muy Tarde (Very Late) and Cuando Despiertes (When you wake up) by track six it starts to mellow before picking up the pace again with what i think are the best songs on the album.Mentiras and Alma de diamante (Diamond Soul) and finishing of nicely with 2 acoustic numbers Katmandú and Algo Quedará Acoustic version.
The Guitar throughout the album is fantastic Gabriel power chords and riffs his way through like only he can.There are some notable solos especially on Mentiras where gabriel just pulls this mint solo out the hat ahh it awsome it's typical Gabe if u have tryed any of his lessons u will know what i mean he mixes Rhythm and lead together flawlessly.Also some very nice Acoustic work on the last 2 tracks.
Hey i'am not gonna lie there in spanish i don't speak spanish but somehow i understand it and they sound great so i will leave it at that.

Fighting back against Trumpism, globalism and dangerous ideologies (without making things worse)
The online world has been heating up for quite some time now. It seems we are becoming more and more polarised in belief and opinion, in the political, social and religious frameworks arenas. It is all too easy for discussion to turn to argument to turn to outright personal attack. We single out people like Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson and "social justice warriors" (for example) and call them all manner of names, simplifying their world views into simple and concise labels, which makes it easy to then castigate the entirety of who they are.
Issues and ideologies are now often reduced to and identified by names of well-known people within public discourse. Anyone who subscribes to even just a part of a particular view is then lumped into the same, easily denigrated categories and written off wholesale, with no consideration for nuance or personal circumstances that would make them considerably more relatable to us. We have forgotten that we have more in common than difference, regardless of political, religious or social affiliations.
A push to the outer The polarisation has worsened and the divisions have deepened. Moderates are treated disdainfully by those at the increasing extremities of the spectrum if social media is anything to go by. Moderate views are seen as being left of the right or right of the left, and we are being encouraged and even coerced more and more to pick sides, rather than seek the middle ground that is mutually beneficial. The bell curve of political and religious ideology seems to be inverting at an alarming rate as people are pushed from the middle ground out to the extremities.
"The peculiar thing is that intelligent leaders on both sides must be able to see that their dogmatism is strengthening not only their own side but also the opposite side. If this is so, one can only conclude that there are people in the Christian *(and secular/political/religious) community who have a vested interest in division. Their actions do not in the end further the cause, nor their own particular brand of it. These actions and attitudes serve only to increase the following of extremist leaders and give them more power in their own camp." - Ray Galvin, Coping with Moral Issues (*additional comment mine)
Fragmenting relationships
Our connections with those close to us are fragmenting and we are losing trust in those we've known all our lives because of snippets they have shared online. The attacks have led us to defending particular views more vehemently, until they come to define us in the perceptions of others and even in our own. We no longer feel comfortable at family gatherings, where in-laws, aunts and uncles, or even our own brothers and sisters have a need to loudly defend a particular ideology, even before any counter position is raised.
If we had quiet conversations with our friends and family, they would most likely agree that these issues are not the major defining aspect of their lives, and yet because the rejection of any of these ideologies has grown so strong on both sides of the political and religious spectrums, the need to defend them has lifted to match it.
Fear and worth
We are driven by a fear of being overrun by opposing views and ideologies and a fear of missing out - on employment, on services, on peace or even on divine favour, of losing control of society as we know it; a fear, ultimately, of an inadequacy within ourselves, that our own worth will not be acknowledged by others unless we fight for it. So how do we truly fight back and restore some kind of normalcy and dare I say it, sanity, to not only our public discourse but to our personal relationships as well? How do we step away from the polarisation so prevalent today and restore peace to the world? Can we move away from attacking loved ones and strangers while continuing to fight for justice as we see fit? We are all driven by a fear deep down, that we are not good enough in some way. Finding some kind of inner peace within, about who we are that is not determined by the views of others, that is not dependant on the approval of others is one of the missing links in our global discourse. We have been hiding our own personal failures and inadequacies behind a judgmental approach towards others. Simply put, we put others down to feel better about ourselves, in conversation and in our own thought patterns, all the while suppressing and hiding from our own shame and pain. We raise ourselves up above others in order to feel a superficial sense of control and order over our lives.
To let go of fear - fear of ourselves, fear of the world, fear of the other - and truly embrace the unknown of getting to know a stranger, a neighbour or even a family member and what motivates their own beliefs without any fear of its implications, doesn't validate their ideologies or identity, it validates their God-breathed humanity. But to do so requires an inner peace, free of all fear.
Better conversations
Take the time to get to know the people you interact with, their loves, their struggles, their fears. See them lift as they begin to feel known and accepted and even validated as a person of worth to humanity. See them step toward the middle ground, following the example you have laid out before them. Let's have a better conversation, one that looks to encourage, not disparage; a conversation that accepts and validates our commonality, our intrinsic value and our shared struggle against hardship rather than one that relies on the divisive rhetoric that is currently being thrown our way. A conversation not borne out a need to hide our own inadequacies and sin, but embraces all of humanity for the deeper beauty hidden within.

Social Justice and Sociology


New England was organized into townships roughly six miles square with a village surrounding the "commons", which was a central community grazing ground, with the church and community meeting house facing the commons. Town meetings elected town officers and the sheriff, raised taxes, and tried to resolve any problems present in the community. Many communities set up different rules than those pronounced by the General Court in Boston.
The people of such communities were very dependent upon each other. Individuals interacted by means of the sale of goods or labor or by barter for other goods or labor. One's ability to generate trades was economically necessary, but generosity was needed as well since all these dealings were seen and known throughout the whole community.
Elizabeth Jackson was born in England in May of 1637. She and her family immigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the spring of 1638. Elizabeth was one year old and had just become the older sister of recently born John.
In August 1638, the John landed at Salem where the new arrivals were welcomed. The Jacksons went to Boston where they lived with families through the winter of 1638-39, helping with household and farming chores. By spring 1639 the group gained permission from the General Court of The Massachusetts Bay Colony to establish a "plantation" settlement between Ipswich, founded in 1633, and Newbury, founded in 1635, along the Atlantic coast twenty five miles north of Boston.
They called it Rowley, after their minister's original parish in East Yorkshire. House lots and properties were laid out along the town brook giving each family access to fresh water. The Jacksons received a one-and-one-half acre lot, but by 1652 they owned twelve acres in the settlement.
In 1658, when she was twenty one years old, Elizabeth Jackson married James Howe, who came from the neighboring town of Ipswich. There was much social interaction between Rowley and Ipswich, which had been founded only six years before Rowley. James was a little older than Elizabeth and totally blind.
Elizabeth moved to a section of Ipswich called Topsfield, very close to Salem. Her marriage seems to have been successful. She had five children: Elizabeth in 1661, Mary in 1664, John in 1671, Abigail in 1673, and Deborah in 1685. Her last child was born when she was forty eight.
Elizabeth stayed in close touch with her parents, and her father gave the Howes a parcel of land he owned in West Rowley. A woman in these early colonial times, who ran a household and carried out extra duties and activities because her husband was blind, might have given the impression of being a busy body, over-extending her activities, and making decisions well beyond the accepted level for a retiring domestic Puritan housewife.
Elizabeth apparently was not a submissive female figure. She had to take strong positions to safeguard the interests of her blind husband and her children. She did have the gift of attracting children to her, and is described as always having many more than her own in tow.
The problem began in 1682 with neighbors in Topsfield, the Perleys. Sam Perley from Ipswich had married Ruth Trumble from Rowley six years after the Howes' marriage. Elizabeth's youngest sister Deborah had married John Trumble, so Elizabeth and Ruth were sisters-in-law.
The Perleys' ten-year-old daughter, Hannah, who had previously been part of Elizabeth's children's group in the Howe household, became ill. She had periodic fits, during which she sometimes accused Elizabeth for causing her illness through witchcraft. After the fit ended, Hannah recanted, and no action was taken.
Ten years later in nearby Salem village, a number of unnatural or unexplained events took place and members of the town were severely frightened about their future survival. This kind of uncertainty and personal fright occurs especially when a rather tightly interdependent village group suddenly evolves to a point where individuals have more personal freedom to follow their own course and not spend their full efforts in fitting into the community as they had done before.
This plus the fact that there was a group of girls who had listened to a Barbados slave, Tituba, working in the minister's house who ranted about black magic and Satanism. The girls learned that by having screaming spasms and accusing women of witchcraft, all the adults started paying attention to them. As their importance grew so did the number of their accusations.
The evidence they stated was always spectral, saying that they had seen the image of the accused in a dream, or heard the accused make a remark that later caused damage to a neighbor. None of this was provable information. Statements such as this would be quickly dismissed from a hearing or trial in modern times. Yet in those times of a changing society and the Puritan fear of evil, such evidence was accepted.
Then, when the accused was brought into their presence, the girls' fits stopped when they were touched by the accused. This showed that the accused had witch-like power to stop their suffering. These same girls from Salem village were invited to several nearby towns to identify witches in those towns, which they happily did. Almost all of the accused were middle-aged women who probably were a little more independent and intelligent than the average Puritan housewife of the time.
Sir William Phipps, the new Governor, found The Massachusetts Bay Colony in a turmoil with many accused witches, but no trials had taken place. Under Common Law, the accused had to be tried in civil court and on conviction the punishment was death. The Governor appointed a special court in March 1692, which was to go to different towns in the Colony and set up preliminary hearings, and conduct trials.
The ten year old accusation of witchcraft was revived, and Elizabeth Howe was called for a hearing and put in prison for trial. Elizabeth had friends and family who tried to support and defend her, and never did her blind husband or her children change their loving feelings towards her. They walked miles twice a week to visit her in prison, bringing her things to eat and objects to provide her comfort.
Generally the imprisoned accused witches were very harshly treated, starved, and repeatedly examined for witches marks, the purpose of which was to get a confession of guilt from the accused. If an accused confessed, then all the spectral evidence could be overlooked. Many of the accused did confess, and so survived by promising to give up witchcraft. Elizabeth never confessed and always proclaimed she was innocent of any witch behavior.
Elizabeth Howe was one of five women in the first Salem witch trial on June 30th, 1692. First, there were the swooning girls, who revived miraculously when Elizabeth touched them. Then there was an accounting by so-called damaged individuals who said they had been visited in their dreams by ghosts who claimed they had been killed by Elizabeth.
It was also noted that Elizabeth had not been admitted to the Ipswich church despite several applications, and that she had bewitched Joseph Safford's wife into actively supporting her, but when Mrs. Safford was visited by shapes in Elizabeth's image she retracted her support.
In Elizabeth's defense, James Howe, her father-in-law who was then ninety four years old, presented a letter to the court commending Elizabeth as a loving, obedient, and kind person who looked after his blind son and their children. The minister and his assistant from Rowley also spoke on her behalf.
Many of her neighbors who had known her for more than twenty years testified that "her words and actions were always such as well became a good Christian". Two couples said they had never heard her speak against those who were accusing her, and had heard her say "indeed I pray that God would forgive them for they harm themselves more than me."
This was the trial, and Elizabeth was convicted of being a witch and sentenced to death by hanging, along with the four other accused witches. The court had convicted all who were brought before it without exception. After the conviction one of Elizabeth's daughters went to Boston to seek executive clemency, but this was refused.
Three weeks later on July 19, 1692, Elizabeth Howe and the others were hanged, purportedly on Gallows Hill by the ocean in west Salem.
That limestone ridge still carries the name Gallows Hill. Most of the contemporary accounts of the hangings describe the site as high up in open air, taking place there because the Devil was supposed to control the air and so hanging the witches in the Devil's air was an affront to the Devil's power.
