The Primary Health Care Jackpot
Stanford Social Innovation Review
The Cool Stuff Doesn't Matter If the Basics Aren't There
by Kevin Starr
This article was originally published by Stanford Social Innovation Review on Dec 11th, 2017 with the headline - Health Care: The Cool Stuff Doesn't Matter If the Basics Aren't There
I'm on Idjwi island in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), sitting on the porch sipping coffee as thunderclouds pile atop the brooding mountains across the lake. It's a gorgeous sight, and this locally grown coffee is better than what I get at my hipster market back home. I've got a couple of hours before I leave for home and a lot on my mind after my time here on the island.
Idjwi is on Lake Kivu, between Rwanda and the DRC. Lake Kivu is 50 miles long and a thousand feet deep, and it periodically belches up a cloud of carbon dioxide sufficient to smother a town. The island is home to about a quarter of a million people. It's pretty and green, but the forests are gone, and steep hillsides erode continually under the burden of endless cycles of planting. Idjwi somehow escaped the violence that convulsed the region over the past several decades, but the average farm size is not much more than an acre, the fertility rate is 8.5 kids per woman, and about half those kids are malnourished. Weirdly, the island gets more lightning strikes than anywhere else on Earth. I have no idea why.
I came to the island to work with Dr. Jacques Sebisaho and his team at Amani Global Works. They built and run a lovely little hospital set at the edge of a wooded cove in the north of the island. Clean and efficient, staffed with a crew of talented and dedicated people, the hospital serves a catchment area of about 80,000 people on an island that has only about 10 miles of passable dirt roads.
Amani's little hospital is one of the best I've seen, but Jacques and his crew know that their basic hospital must become part of a larger network that includes community health workers in every village and clinics within reach of all. In other words, Idjwi needs primary health care.
Primary care is the essential set of frontline services everybody needs: It's things like vaccinations, malaria treatment, malnutrition screening, oral rehydration, basic surgeries like C-sections, and so on. One useful way to frame it is this: Generalists (doctors, nurses, and community health workers) do primary care, specialists do secondary care, and sub-specialists do tertiary care. It's nice to have all three, but primary care comes first. It's the most equitable and cost-effective care, and mostly importantly, it can deal with 95 percent of the diseases that plague people in places like Idjwi.
Good primary care functions as a network that gets stuff and services to those who need them most, and gets critical information back to those who can do something with it. In a place like Idjwi, sick kids whose survival depends on speed-to-treatment won't make it without that network. Nasty parasitical diseases like filariasis and schistosomiasis are still around in places like Idjwi, and the people who live there will never be rid of them without that network. There's a huge demand on the island for family planning, but they'll never meet it … yeah, without that network.
That's why Jacques and his team are obsessed with figuring out how to deliver a primary care network that can grow to cover the whole island and scale beyond it. They know you can't really move the health needle unless everyone has local access to decent basic care.
Not everybody does. In the last year, important funders I know and like turned down three world-class organizations focused on primary care networks. In one form or another, they told those organizations, "You're awesome, but we have enough primary health care in our portfolio."
Well, no. You don't. Not by a long shot.
Governments and funders have long made a habit of failing to deliver primary health care to the people who would get the most from it. In 1978, world public-health leaders and associated muckety-mucks gathered in Kazakhstan and produced the famous Declaration of Alma-Ata that proclaimed—in good faith, I think—we would achieve "primary health care for all" by 2000. Well, that didn't happen, but the World Health Organization (WHO) reaffirmed the declaration in 2008. The Millennium Development Goals included primary care and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include it again—and as many as a billion people still don't have it.
What's up? Why the big fails? Over the years, I've noticed three things:
Doctors like fancy tertiary hospitals, Big Aid likes infrastructure. Health ministries are run by doctors and need Big Aid, so fancy hospitals come first. Then the money runs out.
It's always been easier to mobilize resources around particular diseases and needs (HIV/AIDS, malaria, polio, vaccination) than for systems. As a result, programs deliver services through vertical one-issue silos that starve and even undermine primary care.
There haven't been a lot of scalable, high-performance primary health care models out there, and some of the big studies of community health workers have been disappointing.
Things are changing. At the top-down level, the Primary Health Care Performance Initiativelaunched by the Gates Foundation, WHO, and the World Bank in 2015 is just one (big) sign that Big Aid is waking up. From the bottom-up, there are a growing number of entrepreneurial organizations doing cool work in primary care space, much of it inspired by the work of Paul Farmer and Partners in Health. Those emerging organizations represent a really important role and a huge opportunity for private philanthropy. We're the ones who can nurture and spur the development of promising new models and fuel their growth until they can access Big Aid and scale up through government systems. Here are the kind of new-school models I'm talking about:
Living Goods, in Uganda and Kenya, establishes Avon Lady-like networks of saleswomen who go door-to-door selling health products, providing treatment for illnesses like malaria, teaching household health, and making urgent clinic referrals. They've dropped child mortality by 28 percent and have scaled up considerably with BRAC.
Muso, in Mali, has built a "proactive care" model focused entirely on speed-to-treatment through motivated community health workers and tuned-up clinics. Muso's initial work in Bamako demonstrated one of the most precipitous declines in child mortality ever.
Last Mile Health, in Liberia, fields professionalized frontline health workers who can treat a broad range of diseases in remote regions beyond the range of clinics and doctors. The model has been written into into Liberia's national health policy and strategy.
Pivot, in Madagascar, is developing a "district-level health care system in a box" (my phrase), where deeply embedded, highly usable data systems drive efficiency and performance. The model has already achieved an impressive drop in child mortality.
Hope Through Health, in Togo, weaves together community health workers and clinics in a tight web that leaves nobody out, and synthesizes the best ideas from sister organizations while working in a country that has been completely off the aid radar.
There are great models out there, but here's the kicker: Without these kinds of models operating at scale, all the cool gadgets and technologies funders often love to fund don't matter a damn. If you don't get the basics right, all the extremely-affordable-mobile-enabled-big-data-driven-digital-platform stuff in the world won't help you. I'm not demeaning the cool stuff; if you do the hard work to assemble an effective primary care network, it can drive a quantum leap in impact. Basics first, cool stuff second.
Funders: Want to avoid the next Ebola epidemic? Fund primary care. Want to nail the health SDGs? Fund primary care. Want to maintain and accelerate the remarkable gains in child survival? Fund primary care. Want to effectively treat the vast majority of the illnesses that plague the poor? Fund primary care. When you realize all that you can do with primary health care, it becomes downright sexy. Give yourself have the pleasure of participation.
OK, so I'm three cups of coffee into this thing, and the poor guy who is supposed to get me to the boat on time is looking anxious. I'll finish with this: Fundraising for a picturesque island hospital is a lot easier than fundraising for a primary care system, but Jacques and his crew know that a hospital isn't nearly enough. They're ready to go all-out to reach everyone. It's high time we funders do the same.

In our city, they just installed new lights, 4/2019.
The far left turn lane at a light. It starts out red like the rest, then goes to FLASHING YELLOW ARROW when the right lanes go green.
IT MEANS, LEFT IS OK BY YIELDING FIRST TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
Probably because government is slow to replace things.
Many people incorrectly remember the name of the series as the "Berenstein Bears". This confusion has generated multiple theories to explain the memories, including an unannounced name change, time travel, or parallel universes and has been described as an instance of the Mandela effect. According to Stan Berenstain's son, confusion over the name has existed since his father's childhood, when a teacher insisted that the name was spelled "Berenstein" due to the prevalence of names ending in "stein". A few examples of the "Berenstein" spelling have been found in references to and knockoffs of official merchandise and publications, and cartoons for the series used an ambiguous pronunciation which may contribute to the false-memory.
There are plenty of streets, roads, and highwsys not built or maintained by the federal government.
Some of us live in a place with more than one road.
I'm In Michigan and I have only seen yellow ones. Never any other color yet.
I was not even alive in 72, yet I have seen yellow yields probably tens of thousands of times ... There are still yellow yield signs in use anyone whom drives much likely sees both.. They are more rare now but still in use..
Your statement has absolutely nothing to do with yellow yield signs. Which of course haven't been used it years in the US.
My favorite signs are the ones announcing that the children are slow.
What an absolute garbage thread. It has been explained over and over again that the yield signs in America used to be yellow but changed to red and white later yet a lot of people still see yellow because they never bothered to update them so depending on where you live you'll either see yellow or red and white. Why does this thread have 8+ pages?
Yet no one has been able to provide a picture of a yellow yield sign taken in 2019. Likely because they only believe they still see yellow yield signs.
They have a red outline and white in the middle triangle upside down. I feel like ive seen them yellow also.

Safet Kalic (Photo: Vijesti)The case involves Safet Kalic, known as one of the biggest narco bosses in the Balkans, his wife Amina and his brother Mersudin. Latkovic's request for a retrial was heard this week at the Montenegrin Court of Appeals at the request of the Special Prosecutor's Office.
The prosecution considers that an expert in the procedure wasn't allowed to present evidence that establishes the origin of more than € 3 million (US$ 3.3 million). Judge Milenka Zizic refused to hear the additional financial evidence, however, saying that the facts had already been sufficiently established.
According to the indictment, Safet, Amina and Mersudin Kalic worked together from 2005 to 2011 to conceal the method of obtaining money from the drug business through banking and financial operations. They allegedly introduced money into the legal cash flows through the bank accounts of companies founded by the defendants and their close relatives, whose origin was disguised, in the amount of € 7.773.127 (US$ 8,588,530). Safet Kalic currently awaits trial for drug trafficking in Germany, which is why in this case he was being tried in absentia. Kalic was arrested on Oct. 20, 2014, in Vienna, in cooperation with Montenegrin and Austrian police. Local authorities requested his extradition, which the German government approved, but only after the end of the procedure against him in Germany and after he serves his sentence.
Prosecutor Latkovic noted at the hearing that the court hadn't properly assessed the evidence in the case. "The court has given incomplete reasons related to cash payment, for which the origin of the money is unknown, and it's not explained from which funds the accused purchased the apartment in Sveti Stefan," Latkovic said.
He also recalled that nobody from the Kalic family was employed full-time and that they didn't generate any revenue on that basis, so the question is: How they have been able to gain so much cash and real estate? During the previous trial, the prosecution seized the family's assets, estimated at €27.8 million (US$ 30.9 million). The Prosecutor concluded that if the court had correctly assessed the evidence, they would have come to a different legal conclusion.
The defense attorneys demanded rejection of the appeal as unfounded. Kalic's wife Amina has not responded to court summons, while Mersudin Kalic was present at the hearing.
In 2014, OCCRP partner MANS, a non-governmental organization (NGO) focused on fighting corruption and organized crime in Montenegro, discovered that several Montenegrin banks, as well as the Ministry of Finance, granted loans for Kalic companies, which later reportedly served for money laundering through loan repayment. MANS also discovered evidence of a suspicious loan that was repaid to the state budget, without any clues showing how and when the state gave the loan, nor is that loan mentioned in the official indictment of the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office, although the form of the repayment was the same as the repayment of investigated loans from the banks.
Also, Safet Kalic was repeatedly linked with the Montenegrin authorities, especially when it came to financing the campaign for the independence, during the Montenegrin referendum process in 2006.
The next hearing is set for June 28.


Pets At Home wanted an aquatic centrepiece as part of an extensive refit of their flagship store in New Malden. They contacted CASCO Pet knowing that we have the expertise to design and deliver a dramatic aquarium that would not only look spectacular but would also attract new and returning customers to the aquatic section of the store.
The large installation, viewable on three sides, had to be built to be strong enough to withstand the pressures generated by the high volumes of water contained within the aquarium. We also custom built the filtration system to maintain the high water quality and clarity levels, and to make the tank easy to clean and maintain.
We have recently returned to this installation. Pets at Home asked us to change the water type in the aquarium, so that they could accommodate different fish. This was straightforward due to the flexible nature of CASCO fittings, meaning that adaptations could be made without compromising on quality.
The finished aquarium offers an extensive panorama, allowing customers big and small to enjoy a great view of the fish. It truly is an eye-catching centrepiece, drawing customers further into the store. A showcase installation such as this is a great way to generate interest in your pet or aquatic department. Contact us to find out more.

This Sunday night, folks! The Elizabeth Lulu Scholarship Foundation kicks off in high gear as The Shakers, The Piper Downs and Throttle Back Sparky play a benefit concert at 8PM at The Gig Hollywood (7302 Melrose Ave in Hollywood).
As you know Lizzie lost her lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis and Beth and I have started a scholarship fund in Elizabeth's name. The money raised will be donated to a different teenage recipient every year, to help that person achieve their dreams of college. This was always Elizabeth's dream, and her memory will live on in other kids for years to come.
The cover is only $20, and every penny will go directly to the Elizabeth Lulu Foundation (yep, the bands play for free, and even the venue isn't taking any of the door). but feel free to bring your checkbook and donate more at the door. The first 100 people will get receive copies of "Great Big Mardi Gras Head," "Throttle Back, Sparky " and a new single, "The World She Won't Know". And that's just for coming to the show! Any donations of $100 or more will also receive a limited edition Elizabeth Lulu Scholarship Foundation t-shirt.
Doors open at 8. The first band is The Shakers, made up of good friends of Liz's and her father's, The Shakers will make you want to dance, as they have been doing for almost 20 years. Following them, one of Liz's all time favorite bands, The Piper Downs. Liz used to love playing their songs on her ipod for her friends and proudly telling them "they are friends of mine." And, lastly, the return of Throttle Back Sparky! Liz wanted to start a rock band of her own and call them "The Sparkettes!". She was always down front, dancing her little heart out (quite an achievement, all things considered).
So, please come out, support the foundation, pass this email on to anyone you know and visit us at www.lizzielulu.com to make donations online.

We have always mourned the lack of respect the hardworking laundry gets despite being one of the most used areas of the house. Often allocated little space, it's as if it was a last minute thought. Most people will agree that a well appointed laundry is a pleasure to work in. Accessible cabinetry boosts the function up to utility room status where everything from light bulbs to hand tools can be squirreled away.
Look up, look down, look all around for unused space….
…behind a door where we found space for storing hangers used for hang-drying. This could easily be mop and broom holders also. Adjust your door stop so the hooks don't hit the back of the door.
…or like this drying rack that drops from the ceiling.
It's hard to visualize where everything should go so utilize some professional expertise so you don't waste any space. Our friends at Ironaway did a pretty good job with this project. Having the ironing board tuck away easily makes life so much easier. Good lighting makes up for the lack of a window. This project incorporates craft space which makes total sense.
A pullout table can be hidden in drawer space, at your finger tips when you need it not only for your machine but also wrapping gifts or laying out a project.
Divide at least one drawer for sewing supplies. Easily replace a missing button or tack a pesky loose hem which always seem to come loose in the dryer.
Small gadgets like the Neatfold can really add to your efficiency. This easy to install tool acts like a second pair of hands for folding sheets.
…and perhaps a spot for hanging, even if you don't have the space for a rod.
Lastly, you can consider this compact, do everything, laundry center.
So now you can see how your laundry, small or large, can really add value to your life. Go forth and make it as powerful as your high efficiency washing machine!

A perfectly poached egg in under a minute?! It seems too good to be true, but that's what the Microegg offers. We're not really ones for endorsing unitaskers, but this little silicone box is pretty neat.
Yes, the egg really will cook up in the microwave just the way you like it (the whites cooked through, the yolks runny in our case). Here's how to create the perfect homemade breakfast sandwich in no time. Now, you really have no excuse to pick up drive-through for breakfast.
Cut an english muffin in half width-wise, or grab a few slices of your favorite bread then toast to your liking.
Meanwhile, coat the Microegg with cooking spray. Crack the egg inside the Microegg. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Close top securely and microwave for 25-60 seconds (depending on your microwave and how you like your egg cooked).
When your muffin or bread is toasted, slather about one tablespoon of salted butter on each side. Carefully open the top of the Microegg and slip the egg on top of the bottom half of the english muffin. Add a slice of cheese (or avocado) to the top, close, and enjoy!

Any professional baker will tell you that for precise measurements you need a scale.
Not only are scales a more accurate way of measuring ingredients, you create less mess! Simply put your bowl on the scale and turn the readout to zero then add your first ingredient, zero out the scale then pour your next ingredient – and so on. With a scale you can get away with using nothing more than a bowl and one spoon.
A small kitchen scale is also great for measuring out your meals to help with portion control, weight loss, and healthy eating.
Kitchen scales mean better results when cooking, simple portion control, faster cooking, and less mess and cleanup!

You would think that being in the storage and organization business my home would have a masterful array of tidy drawers and spiffed up closets with a side of storage savvy garage cabinets. It does. However, it also takes some effort to keep from collecting too much and overwhelming those same spaces with tidbits of nonsense that we drag in the house and don't get around to using or throwing out. There is also that added burden of living with others who may not be like-minded (ahem, husband) about what we keep (or buy for that matter- really, the jumbo case of baked beans?).
If you didn't get around to making a New Year's resolution I have a suggestion. One drawer, one closet, one shelf at a time. Don't try to eat the whole cake when one piece can be very satisfying. Nothing feels as good as order in your home.

Fall is such a spectacular season which for many of us, culminates in that culinary holiday of all holidays, Thanksgiving! Oh, how delicious it is! All the things we love most about September, October and November: the warm colors, the crisp smells, perfect sunny days blended with moody, inspirational hours in front of the fire with hot chocolate and a book on our e-reader… every moment of existence has the potential to be extraordinary and filled with wonder as leaves drift to the ground and dance across the sidewalk, swirling around your bicycle tires!
I can't help myself! All the gardening, harvesting, canning and stashing culminates on the week of Thanksgiving — recipes are strewn about my counters, smudged with egg and dusted with spices; pies begin to fill my cooling racks; every measuring cup sports remnants of flour or sugar — it's just so magnificent that I can't help but burst forth with eloquence!
And in less than a month, we'll do it all over again when we get together to feast at Christmas.
I don't know about you, but I actually tried quite a few recipes that I had found on Pinterest last week. And when trying a new recipe, I go back to read that recipe over, and over, and over again. Easier said than done I found, when the recipe was on a tablet and I was covered in many miscellaneous baking ingredients!
Between now and Christmas, I will hopefully acquire one of these which would have protected my kindle from my disastrous counter, (I'm a horribly messy cook!) but without taking up any more counter space than my kindle already did! And it would have made referencing the recipe much, much easier!
The pull out chart of weights and measures would have been really handy too — I referenced the Google Machine more than once last Thursday!! — and it would be unthinkable for me to add something to my kitchen gadget toolbox that didn't store so easily, as this stand most definitely does!

It's an amazing time of year for family. Joyful. One way to share that with our families is through our cooking. Good food is an expression of our creativity and in a way delivers comfort to those close to us. It's a kindness that we offer all year. However, at the holidays, it has special meaning. It ties all of us together at the most basic level and for the most important reasons. It's a point of remembrance- your grandmother's cookies or your aunt's cranberry relish. We honor our past and pass those memories on to our future- our children and grandchildren. At this very busy time of year, we wish you time to cook and all the joy that serving your treasured family recipes can possibly bring.

Let the Sun Shed some Light!
Everything is better when it's sun-dried! Despite the booming chemical industry, the sunlight is still the #1 best odor and stain fighting tool in our laundry room.
Do you have a stain that just won't come out? Like, perhaps, something wet snuck into the middle of your laundry pile and *gasp!* some mold grew? Nasty black mold? It may take a few days, but sunlight will do it.
For instance, what could possibly get smellier or more stained than a cloth diaper? We have spoken with cloth diapering momma's who have tested and fully approve of the sun's powers. If the remnants of explosive baby bums can be freshened via sun-power, then I'm willing to guarantee they can take whatever else you can throw at them!
The best part of many of the models we offer is that even if your neighborhood has outlawed the use of clotheslines (we know, ridiculous rules!!) you can choose among many a folding, collapsing or tripod models which set up quickly on your back deck and can then be safely stowed before the nosy police arrive with their smelly indoor knickers in a knot.
If you don't live in a climate that's sunny and warm all year round, squeeze those last deodorizing drops out of the sun this fall with any of our favorite clotheslines or dryers – just GET THOSE LINENS OUTSIDE for a blast of fresh air!
Do you use the sunshine to bring the ultimate in freshness to your favorite garments? What do you look for in your ideal drying racks and clotheslines?

I just read an interesting quote from architect Mark Schratz when talking about his 980 sqft home "It's not minimal living; this is just small-scale living" he said. I think he hit the nail on the head. I hear that phrase a lot "I'm a minimalist". Mark's take is that minimalist living is not just pared down but also stripped bare while small scale living seeks out rich textures and high quality materials used in small spaces. Big difference.
In a recent article about his design philosophy, he speaks of his mechanical spaces functioning like a Swiss army knife- everything intertwined and dual purposed. I love this way of thinking and it speaks to my own sense of design. As you seek to organize your life and remove clutter, remember that living efficiently doesn't have to mean living without warmth and character in the home. I have found that the smaller and more functional something is, the more likely it will be expensive as it often is multi-tasking. For example, I once saw a wall separating a kitchen and bath made from opaque tempered glass. This was not an inexpensive solution (and not the image I am posting as an example) but one that saved inches of floor space while flooding the bath with natural light from the already bright kitchen. It was genius. What will they think of next as the world embraces smaller and smaller living spaces as the norm again?

Someone asked me not long ago, what are the steps to get started to achieve a space that's beautiful and functional. I can't say it better than this great article from Houzz.

Old Testament laws such as the death penalty for disobedient children (and for anyone who "is a wizard" and adulterers especially since anyone who remarries is one) were the reason God gave us a New Covenant. (Something that the Apostle Paul apparently overlooked.)?

Profiles in Courage: Too Cool Cal From California
I picked up this guy from California who mostly just coughed his way through the ride, so I didn't get to know him real well. I am sure that's for the best. I like to have a positive opinion of my riders, if at all possible, but you know how first impressions go. It's sad when you end up with a lasting negative impression of someone, but I think some people try really hard to make sure that's exactly what you get. And it was more than just a little coughing (actually, a lot of coughing) that caused my impression, albeit not that much more.
I suppose this guy probably has a chip on his shoulder about something. Since he told me he was a truck mechanic, I assume he probably went to work doing that rather than going to college. And there's nothing wrong with that, but maybe some people have made him feel inferior because of it, and that's why he wants to portray himself as someone to be reckoned with. Like I said, he barely said two words to me, but what he did say was plenty.
As we were in the Avenues Mall parking lot, he slathered himself in cologne. He apologized for doing it and causing my car to smell like a pheromone factory, but he said the ladies liked it. "And I gotta get some booty," he added. So this guy was heading to the mall, where teenagers and young moms hang out, and that's when he decides to pull out the big guns. Pitbull Man, perhaps. Then again, he was a little older than he was pretending to be, so maybe he was still rockin the Axe body spray. Apparently, body and auto interior spray.
So Too Cool Cal was going to the mall to look for some beautiful babies because the high schools were closed, apparently. And I can respect his game, since all the bars and libraries are closed, so the mall probably does become the best place to cruise for hotties. So far, he's not really all that bad, I guess. Probably most guys on a two-day vacay to Jacksonville are crawling the malls for some bootay. I assume he didn't know about the Town Center, and I'm glad I didn't suggest it earlier in the conversation, before he'd divulged his intentions to cruise for teenagers at The Avenues.
Anyhow, Too Cool Cal was kind of an amoral sleazeball, but he's was just representin his home state. I know, I know, this is Florida. But people here are at least a little nicer about their lack of moral judgement, and they probably say "I appreciate it" as they carjack you. And "Yes, Sir," if you ask if you're being carjacked. Too Cool Cal, on the other hand, decided to tell me a little story as he left the vehicle to comb the food court for tasty treats, letting me know that it's great to be on vacation and to be rich, as he'd recently sold his business to a family member for $400,000. I told him that was great, and I'm sure it's the line he uses to get all the babes (in case the Pitbull perfume doesn't do the trick). The problem is that I wasn't looking for a one-night stand with Too Cool Cal, so telling me he's taking a vacation with $400,000 only means that he's declaring himself the winner in a pissing contest that started at the moment he told me about his happiness. Obviously, a Lyft driver isn't going to compete with that, with my main asset depreciating as fast as the money I make using it for rides.
The lesson here, for those who are as socially dimwitted as Too Cool Cal, is that you should not degrade women (or chase teenagers) as objects, even if you think your driver is your brah. And you shouldn't brag about all your money, even if you are planning on giving that driver a decent tip. In this particular case, Cal didn't send a tip my way, which makes him look even smaller. He said it was good I had the AC running because other drivers did not, he used my usb charger for his device, and I even went to the trouble of asking someone where the best entrance to the mall would be for him. Actually, I only heard about his getting teen booty and newfound fortune because I went to the extra effort of not dropping him off at the first set of doors, from whence he would have had to have walked about 1/4 mile to the open doors. Just remember that everyone out there is forming opinions of you when they meet you. This guy just annoyed me with his annoying confidence, probably based in reality, but still annoying, especially when he thinks all I wanted from him was to bask in his second-hand coolness. Not good enough, Brah.

B.C. forests ministry firefighters train on how to enter and exit from a hovering chopper Tuesday in Qualicum Beach.
Crews ready themselves for forest fire season
Be comfortable, follow the safety instructions and don't be complacent.
Those are the three main rules to follow when entering and exiting a hovering helicopter, and part of the lessons learned by forest firefighters Tuesday afternoon at the Qualicum Beach airport.
Rachael Beckley
May. 12, 2011 1:00 p.m.
Forests ministry fire crews from the Coastal Fire region (Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast) were in Qualicum Beach for their annual hover training exercise. For newcomers to the ranks, some more nervous than others, and for veterans of the forest service, the course is part of their training and qualifies them to engage in similar operations across the country and in the United States.
"We start with a power point presentation, which is where we go over, basically, what makes a helicopter fly," said Julian Welp, a crew leader. "And safety, that's the top of the list."
Welp has performed a hover exit many times, he said, noting it comes into play when fighting fires in steep, mountainous terrain — places where a chopper cannot set down.
New forest firefighter Marc Albert, who works out of Powell River, said the training is an extension of his boot camp training and was a little nervous.
"I haven't done it before, but I think it'll be fine," he said. "You have to follow certain safety precautions."
After a safety briefing and mock exits from a helicopter on the ground, the crews moved to a grassy area of the airfield and did it live.
As the chopper hovered a few feet off the ground, firefighters exited and re-entered, making sure to stay low and not to get the helicopter off balance. Welp added there's no way of telling when such skills would be put into use — but when the occasion does arise, the crews will be ready.
Donna MacPherson, fire information officer with the Coastal Fire Centre in Parksville, said training like this takes place throughout the fire season, and among the crews across the Island and mainland coast. It's this work, she said, that gets B.C. crews noticed.
"We're recognized around the world," she said of the firefighters' prowess. "We've had international groups come here to train and learn what our teams can do."
She said since B.C. has so much public land to take care of, firefighters here get a lot of practice and real action. The fire season, MacPherson continued, has already started, with a small forest fire near Pemberton last weekend.
As of Monday at noon, she said, the Coastal Fire centre will implement a ban on all backyard fires. Check with local municipalities, she added, for local burning regulations.

Core Objective 11: Global Contexts. Students will apply and evaluate modes of academic inquiry, creative expression, or results of research to problems in historical and contemporary global contexts. Students will articulate connections among local, national, and international contexts and evaluate the ways that historical and contemporary global influences affect their current situations.
This Core Objective can be satisfied by courses – or a sequence of courses – within the student's major requirements or electives, and some General Education courses may also satisfy this objective. It cannot be satisfied by AP courses, higher-level International Baccalaureate exams, or credit by examination.
Students will critically reflect on their learning and life experiences in a global context and develop an understanding of different viewpoints on contemporary societies. Courses satisfying this objective will teach students to critically reflect on their learning and life experiences in a global context (e.g., non-U.S., comparative, or transnational) and comprehend different viewpoints on and contexts for contemporary culture, politics, and interactions. They may examine topics such as the history, cultures, economic systems, or political systems of nations other than the United States; international conflicts and their causes; colonialism and post-colonialism; and global phenomena that connect the fates of nations and regions.


*DISCLAIMER: The intention of this article if for humorous purposes only. Do not actually take this advice seriously, or do… Make wise choices.
Hello friends! Here we have a holiday themed Ask Goldy and Penny because it's the holiday season and regular Goldy and Penny advice columns are only a tiny bit more boring than a special edition Goldy and Penny. Although this week it's only me, Goldy, because Penny actually has a social life and family to visit. You're welcome and a very Merry Christmas my little effervescent, zestful, bright-eyed pink fairy armadillos (it's a real animal).
You know, Unsure, too bad Penny isn't here because she's an expert with friend advice. I am not because I do not know what having a friend is like. Just kidding I have a ton of friends! That's why I am spending my holidays writing an advice column. Anyways, around this time of year, Buzzfeed has some pretty good articles about what to get for your friends, coworkers, etc. Happy shopping!
Okay, okay, here's a bit of a history lesson. To answer your first question, Santa is an obese, creepy man who breaks into your house to stick exactly what you wished for under your tree. Also he eats all your cookies and steals your carrots for his "reindeer," also known as the flying donkeys who are high on carrots, and Santa also watches you all year long in order to give you exactly what you wished for. Creepy, right?! Can flying around the world in a single night even be possible? Your next question was already answered, reindeer are flying donkeys and lastly, Rudolph has plastic surgery and went through a phase in his teenage years called teenage angst.

The American Express Hilton HHonors Credit Card now has an increased sign-up bonus of 75,000 Hilton points when you spend $1,000 within the first 3 months.
Similar to the offer that just came out on the Amex Hilton Surpass Card it is marketed as a limited time set to expire on 11/30/2016.
The standard offer available on this card is 50,000 bonus points, so with the increased offer you're getting an extra 25,000 Hilton points. Plus the spending requirement is relatively low on this card which makes it easier to meet for many.
Bonus: 75,000 points after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months.
-- 7X points per dollar spent at Hilton properties.
-- 5x points per dollar spent at U.S. restaurants, U.S. gas stations, and U.S. supermarkets.
-- 3x points per dollar spent on everything else.
-- Free Hilton Silver status comes with the card.
-- Earn HHonors Gold status through the end of the next calendar year when you spend $20,000 on your card in a calendar year.
Quick review: The 75,000 point sign-up bonus is a nice bonus offer with a low spending requirement, and given that the card does not have an annual fee is it a great card to keep.
Note: Remember that you are only eligible to earn the sign-up bonus once per lifetime on a specific American Express card product. This means that if you've had this same card before you may not be eligible to earn the bonus.
The American Express Hilton HHonors Credit Card is now offering a 75,000 Hilton points sign-up bonus after spending $1,000 within the first three months.
This increased offer has been out before in the past, but it's the highest bonus ever offers which makes it a good time to apply for the card since you can only earn Amex bonuses once per lifetime.
The card does not have an annual fee and makes a great card to keep open year-after-year to increase your average credit account age.
Apart from the sizable sign-up bonus the card offers limited perks in my opinion, but earning the bonus alone and the fact that there is no annual fee makes it worth signing up.
Will Amex match this offer for people who were recently approved for this card offering 50,000 HHonors points for $750 spend?
Tim, there are mixed reports of people successfully (or unsuccessfully) getting Amex to match a higher offer. The best route is to call in and ask to speak to a supervisor, then once you get them on the line request for an offer match. Hope it works out!


Actor Nathan Richardson, above, captures physical and spiritual essence of Frederick Douglass in a performance/lecture Monday just for Appling Middle School students in grades 7 and 8. Speaking at the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center, he tells of his escape from slavery and his rise as a great writer, orator and abolitionist. He explains such real-life details as how slave children too young to work got two shirts per year as their only clothing, and how he used biscuits to cajole his young master into teaching him to read. He also entertained the teens with a question-and-answer session in character after the performance. One of his more famous quotes is, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." At left, three Appling Middle School eighth-graders joined an actor in character as Frederick Douglass on stage Monday to help him recite one of the historical figure's favorite poems.
