Living History Event Highlights Ticonderoga on the Eve of the Revolution
Posted on February 14, 2019 June 20, 2019
Join Fort Ticonderoga for a living history event Saturday, February 16, 2019 to discover British garrison life in February 1775, three months before Ticonderoga was pulled into the American War of Independence. Living history programs feature the weapons, trades, and home life of soldiers and families during peacetime at Ticonderoga.
A one-time only exhibit will highlight rare objects from the Fort Ticonderoga Museum collection that are a tangible reminder of the men and women that called Fort Ticonderoga home before the American Revolution.
"Objects include a pair of patten soles from a type of women's protective footwear," said Matthew Keagle, Fort Ticonderoga Curator. "These pattern soles represent the only object definitively belonging to a woman in the archeological records and are a reminder of the many women who also were part of the garrison at Ticonderoga."
Highlighted programming throughout the day brings to life the experience of soldiers in the 26th Regiment of Foot and their families who made their homes inside the Fort Ticonderoga barracks. Weapons demonstrations transport visitors to go beyond loading and firing and highlight the military traditions and tactical innovations that had become standard on the eve of the Revolutionary War. Discover the many activities of army women including laundering and meet skilled tradesmen drawn from the ranks.
"This living history event will highlight the story of the people that provided the peacetime services and efforts to prepare Ticonderoga for war once again in 1775," said Beth Hill, President and CEO of Fort Ticonderoga. "Our commitment to bringing the dramatic and real story of our past to life through unforgettable programs such as the 1775 British Garrison at Fort Ticonderoga is an opportunity to share with our visitors the importance of this place in the founding of America."
Admission to the event is $12 for the general public and free to Fort Ticonderoga Members, Ambassador Pass holders, and children age four and under. Click here for the full event schedule.

A woman in need of subsidized housing is unfairly turned away for a second time. A homeless man meets someone willing to do more than just hand him some food. A father demands that his son kick an opioid addiction.
Those scenarios are playing out in a second-floor rehearsal space at Long Wharf Theatre, but the actors aren't just acting. They're sharing their own experiences under the auspices of the New Haven Play Project, an effort to shine a spotlight on people whose stories are often left untold—and to let those people decide how to tell them. This year's project brings two performances to the Long Wharf stage: Survivors of Society Rising, directed by Elizabeth Nearing and created in partnership with the Connecticut Mental Health Center (CMHC) Foundation; and Elders and Newcomers, directed by Nearing and Sharece Sellem and created in partnership with The Towers elder housing complex and Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS).
Since March 1, Nearing and dramaturg Madeline Charne have been meeting with clients of CMHC, starting with four weeks of building theater skills. 15 of those clients then opted to create a production together, which turned into Survivors. At a rehearsal just nine days before their big performance on June 28, actors warmed up. They improvised a call-and-response diction exercise. They stood in a circle and tossed hand claps back and forth. Then they hunkered down with their scripts, pencils and questions for Nearing and Charne.
Finally, it was time for the first full-length run-through. Actors found it hard not to pause and question or respond to what was happening as the 32 short scenes unfolded, but mostly they sat and watched attentively as their friends and stage colleagues got up and enacted some of the seminal moments of their own experiences with homelessness, addiction, suicidal thoughts and more.
The subject matter is serious—depressing, even. It's also a window into a New Haven that many in the audience may be accustomed to side-stepping. And ultimately, Nearing says, Survivors of Society Rising is a play about the "journey from hopelessness to hope."
Though the relationship with CMHC is brand new, Long Wharf and The Towers—providing senior living and services downtown "based upon Jewish values and traditions"—have been partnering for 10 years, helping residents articulate and share their stories. Towers residents make up the "elders" in Elders and Newcomers, while members of the youth leadership program at IRIS are the "newcomers." Together, they create the "widest age range I think I've ever seen on stage here," Nearing says, from 14 to 97. The common thread is "stories about home."
Towers residents went to every Long Wharf production this season, then used them as jumping-off points to talk with Sellem about their own experiences. Facilitating those conversations brought some surprises. For example, after seeing Miller, Mississippi with its dark currents of family dysfunction and racism, Sellem says people spoke frankly about issues surrounding race in a way she admits she probably wouldn't have. "They just came right out with it," she says, impressed by their candor. Later in the season, Long Wharf's production of An Iliad elicited "some really vivid, touching stories about war."
At the same time, Nearing and Laurel McCormack of IRIS were working with IRIS youth, meeting every Friday to teach them about the important roles of women, particularly women of color, in American history "and then looking at their own stories." Their narratives will be interspersed with those from the "elders" in the final production.
Elders and Newcomers "really represents New Haven," Sellem says. The process of meeting on Sundays to talk about the productions they'd seen and their own stories also had a binding effect on the Towers group. "You see people really taking care of each other and rooting for each other," she says. "It's a great representation of community."
Future iterations of the New Haven Play Project are in the works. For the next three years, the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art will fund programming to address Islamophobia, a subject Nearing is excited to examine with city residents. The Project is part of a nationwide movement toward community-based theater that began at The Public Theater in New York City.
The aim is "creating theater that is not only for the people, but by and of the people as well," says a Long Wharf press release. The challenge for Long Wharf, Nearing says, is "figuring out how to build the best environment and container to make the plays and the stories the way people want to make them."
And then to present it to the people.

The US top 50 Billboard Charts have nothing on Mr. Elorduy's Playlist.
This year several new teachers have began teaching on the CB campus. Among them, one stands out: Mr. Julian Elorduy '03, who teaches comparative religion and has a deep, passionate love for music.
Throughout my time here at Christian Brothers, I have never entered a class more interesting than Mr. Elorduy's. Every day he plays music at the beginning of his class. The strange thing is that the music that he plays isn't the typical mainstream music — it's always something that is out of the ordinary and different.
But one person can't find all the different types of music overnight, so I talked to him about how he has been involved with music and he said that he used to work at a radio station at KDVS 90.3 FM, the UC Davis radio station. Being a part of the radio station business helped Mr. Elorduy to gain a better knowledge of how to get music.
"Doing that taught me a lot," says Mr. Elorduy. "I'm an avid consumer of music so I seek it out however I can,"
In this day and age, there are several opportunities to discover music through several Apps for certain phones and devices. But Mr. Elorduy takes a different approach,
"YouTube used to be really good at recommending content but they seem to feature more paid content now. Spotify does a good job recommending things to me," the religion teacher says. "But I find the best way to find new stuff is by asking my favorite people what they are listening to."
From my personal experience, word of mouth is always the best way to discover what people are listening to. What people listen to help you understand a little more about that person and their personality.
Not only does Mr. Elorduy have an obsession with any type of music, he also makes some of his own. When he first started out making music he drew his inspiration from a Pixies concert.
"Everyone was singing along and there was just an amazing feeling in the air," says the Mr. Elorduy. "I also get inspired by my friends and family, being out in the open taking in the beautiful world or just getting upset about something political or an injustice in the world."
To this day the teacher is still involved in the music world.
"I continue to write and play music on my own but I'm not a professional," he says. "I like sharing in the experience of music with others"
Music is constantly apart of our lives and is used everywhere. Many use it for exercise, homework, a party or celebration, and many other occasions. Mr Elorduy on the other hand uses it for meditation or just to get up and dance around the house for a little bit. Music also helped him with a more personal aspect of his life.
"When I was younger it helped me get out some feelings I had about the world," he stated.
Music has many genres, and people will usually focus in on a certain type they like. But Mr Elorduy is very open to any type of music.
"I listen to a lot and spread my taste pretty thin. I appreciate crafty song writing and tasteful melodies but my mood dictates a lot of what I listen to," he says."For example my last playlist was all about Cass McCombs, before that it was Tom Petty, but I also like modern R&B like Kelela and the Fade to Mind production team."
Mr. Elorduy is arguably be one of the most interesting new teachers around campus whether it deals with music or teaching in the classroom. He is always on the prowl for new music, if anyone wants to share a playlist or artist, have at it!

One of the things I emphasize in my lecture on "P/AMing It" is setting up your optimal sewing environment. Ergonomic concerns like sewing machine set-up, cutting counter height, and weight of your iron all contribute to sustainable physical health in sewing and quilting, but just as important is the mental and emotional environment you have in your sewing space.
I learned in college that putting on headphones with some upbeat pop music helped me study, as long it was songs I was familiar with and didn't have to concentrate on. The tempo kept my energy up, and the headphones reduced any distraction from roommates or other people around. That continued to work after I graduated (and finally ditched all those "I have math test tomorrow and haven't attended a class all semester" nightmares!) with housework, cooking, or anything else that I needed to get done expediently.
When it comes to my sewing room, though, I tend to listen to podcasts or audiobooks. I recommend the Hip to be a Square quilting podcast if you need a place to start! *end shameless self promotion*. The spoken word keeps me company in the sewing room, but I do find there are times when I have long stretches of cutting or pressing I need something a little peppier than talking.
That's when I turn to mood-driven playlists. I have a subscription to Amazon Prime, so I can take advantage of their range of pre-selected music in the "Happy & Upbeat" category; you can click through that link to see some of the music in that category. My personal taste pushes me towards 80's pop, but I occasionally dip into the 70's or 90's. Last year I discovered a new (to me) band that I proclaimed to a friend to learn it was popular in the late 90's. Last month I discovered the "Meghan Trainor and More" playlist, and so enjoyed Ingrid Michaelson that I thought I had stepped into the '10's. Alas, still a decade behid!
Regardless, to bring some science in, the beats per minute (BPMs) for upbeat music that gets me moving is around 120 BPM, which is the cardio equivalent of jogging or running; that's good for cutting which can be very tedious. For a piecing pace, I like a good 80-90 BPM, or the equivalent of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walking".
For hand quilting, a slower tempo can be a little more soothing and meditative, around 60 BPM, like most meditation music. A 2010 study showed that listening to music at this tempo can help move the body into an "alpha state", a relaxed state in which we are alert, not drowsy or sleepy. That's definitely the state you want to be in to reduce stress and strain while quilting!
Amazon Prime is not the only place to take advantage of mood-driven playlists; streaming music services like Pandora and Spotify also have these sorts of playlists. If you're in an area of the world with limited internet-streaming, many library systems have CDs and other music formats you can borrow to spice up your existing music library. My local library system in Georgia just started a sewing machine lending program, too!
If you've watched the last few episodes of The Stitch, you know that Lynn listens to Hamilton (also available for free on Amazon Prime as of this posting). While we provide recommended playlists in all of our patterns for both music and television or movies, my choices are usually upbeat to keep the quilting process moving. I'm curious what you all listen to while sewing, if anything?
Great post! I like podcasts when I'm not at the machine, and I've found that my running/workout playlist double as a great high-energy sewing motivator! Right now I'm delighted to play my favorite Christmas playlist–it fits the bill as being cheerful and familiar. Hand-stitching is pretty much always in front of the TV, unless I'm in the car, where podcasts win the day. If this gets any more complicated, I'm going to need a flowchart.
I love music that is like white noise or ambient sounds when at the machine. I do listen to podcasts when piecing as long as it is something I don't need to concentrate at a laser like intensity on to get it right. I knew there was science to the need to have background music on, thanks!
If you want to get current, have you listened to Bastille. I think they have an 80s vibe. Pink is cool too. As I'm a really new quilter I'm still getting used to it all. Will def try listening to music while cutting. Loving The Stitch and HTBAS.

Homepage / News / New gene therapy approach offers a potential long-term treatment for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B
Children's National Hospital experts developed a new pre-clinical gene therapy for a rare disorder, known as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2B, that addresses the primary cellular deficit associated with this disease. Using a single injection of a low dose gene therapy vector, researchers restored the ability of injured muscle fibers to repair in a way that reduced muscle degeneration and enhanced the functioning of the diseased muscle. The treatment was safe, attenuated fibro-fatty muscle degeneration, and restored myofiber size and muscle strength, according to the study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
With an incidence of less than 1 in 100,000, LGMD2B is a rare disorder caused by a genetic mutation in a large gene called dysferlin. This faulty gene leads to muscle weakness in the arms, legs, shoulder and pelvic girdle. Affected children and adults face trouble walking, climbing stairs, and getting out of chairs. Individuals typically lose the ability to walk within years after the onset of symptoms, and often need assistance with everyday tasks such as showering, dressing and transferring.
This study described a new approach that avoids the need for packaging a large gene, like dysferlin, or giving a large vector dose to target the muscles, which are bottlenecks faced in ongoing gene therapy efforts aimed at muscular dystrophies.
"Currently, patients with LGMD2B have no gene or drug-based therapies available to them, and we are amongst the few centers developing therapeutic approaches for this disease," said Jyoti K. Jaiswal, M.Sc. Ph.D., senior investigator of the Center for Genetic Medicine Research at Children's National. "We are working to further enhance the efficacy of this approach and perform a longer-term safety and efficacy study to enable the clinical translation of this therapy."
The genetic defect in dysferlin that is associated with LGMD2B causes the encoded protein to be truncated or degraded. This hinders the muscle fiber's ability to heal, which is required for healthy muscles. In recessive genetic disorders, like LGMD2B, common pre-clinical gene therapy approaches usually target the mutated gene in the muscle, making them capable of producing the missing proteins.
"The large size of the gene mutated in this disease, and impediments in body-wide delivery of gene therapy vectors to reach all the muscles, pose significant challenges for developing gene therapies to treat this disease," said Jaiswal.
To overcome these challenges, the researchers found another way to slow down the disease's progression. The authors built upon their previous discovery that acid sphingomyelinase (hASM) protein is required to repair injured muscle cells. In this current work, the research team administered a single in vivo dose of an Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector that produces a secreted version of hASM in the liver, which then was delivered to the muscles via blood circulation at a level determined to be efficacious in repairing LGMD2B patient's injured muscle cells.
"Increased muscle degeneration necessitates greater muscle regeneration, and we found that improved repair of dysferlin-deficient myofibers by hASM-AAV reduces the need for regeneration, causing a 2-fold decrease in the number of regenerated myofibers," said Daniel Bittel, D.P.T., PhD., research postdoctoral fellow of the Center for Genetic Medicine Research at Children's National and a lead author of this study.
Sreetama Sen Chandra, Ph.D., who was a research postdoctoral fellow at Children's National at the time of this study and served as co-lead author, also added that "these findings are also of interest to patients with Niemann-Pick disease type A since the pre-clinical model for this disease also manifests poor sarcolemma repair."
Children's National researchers of the Center for Genetic Medicine Research and the Rare Disease Institute (RDI) are constantly pursuing high-impact opportunities in pediatric genomic and precision medicine. Both centers combine its strengths with public and private partners, including industry, universities, federal agencies, start-up companies and academic medical centers. They also serve as an international referral site for rare disorders.

Bank report card: I have to work harder
Cox states that banks also need to implement systems to support compliance.
Callaghan also noted in his review that self-reported bank code violations increased in 2019-20.This is by the Royal Commission and the Australian Health Regulatory Agency Commonwealth Bank'sand NAB self-assessment..
"resulting in, [the banks] We needed to rebuild our trust in the community, "Callahan wrote.
'Looks like some [banks] We consider the codes to be a burden and are comparable to other regulatory and legislative requirements imposed on them.
Mike Callahan
"Another view brought about through consultation [with banks] The bank's aggressive and widespread response to assisting customers during the COVID-19 pandemic has boosted their reputation in the community, "Callahan wrote.
In that regard, the review specifically mentions the introduction of mandatory credit reporting and the importance of communicating to consumers the impact on credit reporting if consumers accept or reject hardships and collection arrangements. doing.
The other two themes of Callaghan's recommendations were that customers were enthusiastic about digital banking services. This includes facilities that you buy now and pay later. This is the change banks are seeing since the advent of open banking in Australia.
Open banking increases customer liquidity and provides banks with the ability to share data such as transaction history and account balances with third parties accredited by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission.
The bank code has been rewritten following the last independent review of 2017 after the Royal Commission. Callaghan said it's an improvement over the previous 2013 version, but there's still work to be done.
"The banking code does not require a complete review or rewrite, but it can be improved in key areas and significantly enhance compliance," he said.
"In consultation with each ABA member bank, it seems that the code is primarily considered a regulatory burden. This is comparable to other regulatory and legal requirements imposed on them."
Anna Bligh, CEO of ABA, said it was a time of rapid change in the banking sector and that there was code needed to reflect that.
"Customers remain central to everything banks do, and in this review, a enforceable bank code is central to the bank-customer relationship, regardless of the economic, policy, or regulatory changes we face. I guarantee you will continue, "she said.
The ABA will respond to the report and begin drafting changes to the code early next year.

When asked by 'Rolling Stone' magazine if he could imagine touring in the same way when he turns 80, McCartney replies: 'Unimaginable – and unseemly'.
He's been living the life of a rockstar for the best part of his life, with his packed touring schedule.
McCartney added that when he was 17, he thought 24 was old.
"People say age is a number. It's a big number the older you get. But it doesn't interfere, i'm not bothered. You can ignore it. That's what I do." he said.

The Return of Silicone?
By Allison Adato
Dawn Miller isn't keen on talking about her breasts in public. But there she was, 500 miles from her small Massachusetts town, in a suburb of Washington, D.C., standing at a microphone before an FDA panel and the national media, discussing the silicone implants she got at age 20. Miller, now 35, suspects they caused ills she has suffered from chronic pain to hearing loss. "Had I known the possibilities," she says, "I wouldn't have put these in my body."
Terry Heide, 51, an Army congressional liaison from Alexandria, Va., was there with a different message. Two years ago after a double mastectomy, she chose silicone implants, with no regrets. "I believe they are safe," she says. "And I believe in a woman's right to make decisions for her body."
After a 13-year ban, silicone implants may be back. The FDA took them off the market (except for women in clinical trials having reconstruction surgery or replacement of older silicone implants) in 1992, stating that manufacturers could not prove their safety. On April 13, following three days of impassioned testimony by professionals and women like Miller and Heide, an advisory panel recommended that the FDA lift those restrictions for one implant maker. A final decision from the FDA may may take weeks—or months—but it is already generating controversy.
Why silicone, and why now? In the early '90s, several silicone-implant makers paid billions of dollars to settle lawsuits alleging their products had led to ruptures, leakage and ailments like lupus and cancer. The FDA's ban left women seeking implants in the U.S.—250,000 of them last year—with only one alternative: saline. Though deemed safer, it is widely considered to look and feel less natural than silicone. "It's the difference between a Hyundai and a BMW," says Dr. Deborah Bash, 44, a plastic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., who performs breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries. Bash herself chose silicone when she got implants as a 25-year-old medical student, and again when she had them replaced in 1999. "I focus on the science, not the emotion," she says. "Nothing is 100 percent safe."
Manufacturers and many plastic surgeons argue that very little scientific evidence links silicone implants with health dangers. And newer models, they say, pose less risk of rupture.
Dr. Susan Kolb isn't sold on either argument. A plastic surgeon in Atlanta who specializes in implant removals, Kolb was happy with her silicone implants for 10 years and even touted their safety to the media. "I was just telling my story," says Kolb, 50, who routinely performed implant surgery. "I wasn't having any problems. That was before they started to leak." In 1995, Kolb says, she felt a burning in her chest and numbness in one arm. "I knew they were leaking; I'd had patients with the same symptoms." She says she got "sicker and sicker," suffering fatigue, mental clouding, dizziness and hair loss before having them removed in 1997. She now has saline implants but says she has long suffered effects of the silicone.
Dawn Miller, too, believes her implants caused her health problems. Surgery at age 12 to correct a congenital defect left her chest malformed, so in college she decided to have silicone implants to create symmetry. The soft-spoken social worker says that over the years she began suffering unexplained muscle pain and in 2002 lost hearing in her left ear. In 2004 she developed an irregular heartbeat; at about the same time, she heard about a possible link between silicone implants, which contain some platinum, and neurological problems caused by platinum. "That was the first time I thought, "These could be making me sick,' " she says. After a lab test found platinum in her urine last September, she had the implants removed. The surgery revealed one had ruptured. (A spokesman for the manufacturer, Mentor, told PEOPLE in an e-mail, "platinum-related health problems in women with breast implants does not exist.") Miller returned to wearing prosthetics in her bra, as she had as a teen. "They're fine," says Miller, who still has hearing loss. "I don't give it a lot of thought."
"These women have real pain, and that's not to be denied or taken lightly," says FDA panel member Dr. Michael Miller, a plastic surgery professor at Houston's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Nevertheless, he says, their testimony is without scientific merit. "The evidence refutes that the implants are causing these symptoms." A 1999 report by the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine assessed 3,400 studies and other reports on silicone implants and found no conclusive link between implants and serious health problems. But scientists continue to investigate suspected links.
The real problem, say opponents of silicone implants, is that long-term data on their safety doesn't exist. The FDA panel rejected the application of one manufacturer, Inamed, in part because it had not provided enough information about how quickly their implants ruptured. It granted approval to a rival, Mentor, citing its lower rupture rate. Panel member Dr. Amy Newberger, a Scarsdale, N.Y., dermatologist, voted against both applications. "I don't feel secure about safety," she said. "I don't feel at this time that patients can grant informed consent."
The week before the hearings, the FDA made public its estimate that up to 93 percent of silicone implants ruptured within 10 years. According to testimony from Dr. Sahar Dawisha of the FDA's office of device evaluation, even by Mentor's own estimate, the wide use of their implants could mean 22,500 ruptures annually. Mentor, responding in an e-mail, said, "We do not know specifically how Dr. Dawisha calculated this number…. Since implants should not be considered lifetime devices, however, we would expect that some implants may rupture in the future."
Mentor's studies have been conducted over a period of two years; Dr. Kolb says that longer-term studies of "10 to 20 to 25 years" are needed. When an implant ruptures, she adds, a number of substances can leak into the body: "Silicone is not just one thing. There are 30 or 40 chemicals that could be in different implants, and some are toxic to the nerves, carcinogens." Kolb offers augmentation with saline. Would she consider silicone again for herself and her patients? "Yes," she says, with a big if. "If long-term safety looked good."
Terry Heide isn't worried. "There was no way I was going to go through the rest of my life without breasts," she says. "And it was never a question that I'd use silicone. There's no perfect drug out there—and there's no perfect implant. Planes can crash; people get cancer. That's the highway that life is."

Q: Is $K[X_1,X_2,...]$ a G-domain? Recall that an integral domain $D$ with quotient field $K$ is called a Goldman domain (or G-domain) if $K$ is finitely generated ring over $D$.
Is $K[X_1,X_2,...]$ a G-domain, where $K$ is a field ?

A: We know that if $R$ is an integral domain then the polynomial ring $R[X]$ is not a Goldman domain; see Proposition 12.5.
We can then view
$$ K[X_1,X_2,\ldots] $$
as
$$K[X_2,\dots][X_1].$$

Ambassador Mary Seymour Olmsted (September 28, 1919 Duluth, Minnesota - July 13, 2018 Bowie, Maryland) was the first female U.S. Ambassador to a Pacific Islands nation and was the first American Ambassador in Papua New Guinea (1975-1979). Gerald Ford appointed her to establish the embassy which was formally opened in September 1975.  In 1978, Jimmy Carter appointed her to serve concurrently as Ambassador to the Solomon Islands.

She grew up in Titusville, Florida.  Olmsted joined the Foreign Service after receiving her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College (major in Economics) in 1941 and her M.A. from Columbia University in 1945. Olmsted went to school at night, working during the day at Central Hanover Bank and Trust Company in the security analysis division. She went on to work at the National Bureau of Economic Research for a couple of years. She studied at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy for a year, once she started working at the State Department, but left before attaining a degree. Olmsted established Endowed Fellowship at the University of Hawaii specifically for students from Papua New Guinea.

In 2011, she was one of several to win the National Women's Political Caucus "Women of Courage" Award in recognition of being the first president of the Women's Action Organization (WAO) of the State Department.

Olmsted died from complications from dementia at her home in a retirement community.

Tatenda Taibu is one of the most outstanding cricketers to have played for the Chevrons. He was
drafted into the national side when he was just nineteen years old and went to have a very rewarding career playing both international and franchise cricket.
The former Chevrons captain holds the world record for the youngest player to captain a national side when he was appointed team captain aged 20. Taibu was a very talented wicket keeper as well as batsman. He has the second highest dismissals as a ODI wicketkeeper for Zimbabwe after another iconic Zimbabwean wicket keeper and captain, Andy Flower
His career came to a screeching halt when he announced that he was retiring from the game in 2011 to concentrate on the word of "God".

Georgia Tech Student Makes Life-Saving Bone Marrow Donation After Swabbing Her Cheek on Campus
Sophie Heiman got a call on her way to her new co-op that she'd matched with a leukemia patient.
Evan Atkinson, Institute Communications
Georgia Tech Student Makes Lifesaving Bone Marrow Donation After Swabbing Her Cheek on Campus
(YouTube Video)
Ten seconds on Georgia Tech's campus eventually led to a lifesaving donation hundreds of miles away in Ohio. That's how long Sophie Heiman needed to swab her cheek on Tech Green last fall. The sample of cells was then mailed to a lab for testing.
But it was months later that Sophie actually had the chance to save a stranger's life.
Sophie swabbed during the Fall 2018 semester. An organization called Be The Match was accepting samples on campus. The largest and most diverse marrow registry system in the world, Be The Match is operated by the National Marrow Donor Program.
Months passed, and classes and exams came and went. Sophie accepted a spring co-op position with Ethicon, a subsidiary company of Johnson & Johnson that develops surgical sutures and other medical devices. She was driving to Ohio when she received a text message saying she was a match for a leukemia patient.
"To be honest, I'd forgotten I'd done the swab," she explains. "I immediately called back."
Sophie worked with Be The Match to identify the closest hospital where she could undergo the marrow donation procedure. They located one in Cincinnati.
Typically, the surgery consists of liquid bone marrow being extracted from the pelvic bone. Most donors go home the same day or the next morning. "You have nothing to be afraid of," she says, noting that even the side effects were minimal.
Because of the anonymous nature of the donation, Sophie will have to wait a full year before she can meet the person who received her bone marrow, but she has received a letter from the recipient — who is alive and doing well. If they both agree, they can meet in person in March. Sophie is looking forward to it.
"If you are that person, you can give someone life and that is just incredible." Now she's encouraging others to join the bone marrow registry. "I think that everyone should go get a cheek swab done as fast as they can," Sophie says. "The odds may be small that you would actually match, but what is the risk if you have the chance to help save another person's life?"

When I had completed yesterday's entry, I realised that the results could be generalised further in a remarkable way.
0, 4, 12, 24, …, = 4(0, 1, 3, 6, …).
Therefore the nth term of our starting sequence = 2n(n – 1) = 2n2 – 2n.
Now each further sequence for n = 3, 4, 5, … is obtained by successively adding n2 (i.e. the nth term of the sum of squares) to the previous result.
So for example the nth term of the octagonal sequence, where n = 3, is 3n2 – 2n, and the nth term of the sequence, where n = 4, is 4n2 – 2n, the nth term of the sequence where n = 5, is 5n2 – 2n and so on.
This means for example when n = 11, the nth term of the corresponding sequence = 11n2 – 2n.
The reason for choosing this sequence is that the starting base is therefore 10 with subsequent relevant number bases increasing by 11.
And 90 (reverse) = 09 (original number) * 10.
However whereas this is clearly true, the result is not unique in this base as any other digit (from 1 – 8 inclusive) can be used with 0 so that the reverse = original number * 10.
Indeed this non-exclusivity applies to all number bases > 2.
When n = 3 and the starting base = 2. Then 01 is the 2-digit original number that can arise in this base with 10 its reverse so that 10 – 01 = 01. However even here the 0 in 01 is strictly redundant.
And 10 reverse = 01 (original number) * 2.
Then when we keep inserting 1 (in base 2) between first and last digits the self generating pattern is preserved for higher digit numbers.
So 110 – 011 = 011; 1110 – 0111 = 0111 and so on.
However where n > 3 (and consequent number base > 2) a non-exclusive basis attaches to the original number generated in the starting base.
So again where n = 11 (and starting base = 10) any digit from 1 to 9 can be associated with 0 in the 2-digit case and again any digit from 1 to 9 can be continually inserted as between first and last digits to generate higher digit numbers (where the reverse – original number * 10).
However once we proceed on to the next relevant number base, a unique relationship exists (where 0 is not a starting digit).
For example 40 in base 21 is 1S (where S denotes the number 19).
And 400 (reverse) = 10 * 40 (original number) in denary terms .
So S1 (reverse) = 10 * 1S (original number) in base 21.
This is then unique as the only 2-digit example with this number property in base 21.
However we can then continually extend this property uniquely to 3-digit, 4-digits, 5-digit, … numbers in base 21 by inserting T (representing units measured in 20's) as between 1st and last digits.
So the corresponding 3-digit original number (in base 21) = 1TS = 19 + 20 * 21 + 21* 21 = 880 (in denary terms).
And the reverse ST1 = 1 + 20 * 21 + 19 * 21 * 21 = 8800.
ST1 (8800 in denary terms) = 10 * 1TS (880 in denary terms).
Now the nth term of the sequences that we have so far addressed can be defined in general terms as kn2 – 2n where k = 2, 3, 4, ….
Therefore the "shadow" sequence to the starting sequence that we have already considered i.e. 0, 4, 12, 24, … has as its nth term 2n2 + 2n , for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, … i.e.
which gives us the same starting sequence. Again in the "shadow" case we start with negative base 1, with subsequent bases increasing in negative terms by 2.
So reverse = original number * 1.
So again reverse = original number * 1.
Thus we have replicated the same result in the negative bases of the "shadow" sequence as in the original starting sequence for positive bases.
Then when we switch to considering these numbers in corresponding positive bases, the same behaviour occurs.
So 4 in base 3 = 11 with the reverse also 11.
And 12 in base 5 = 22 with the reverse also 22.
So uniquely with the starting sequence, with its shadow is the same sequence, the self replicating feature where the original number = the reverse number (i.e. where both are palindromes) applies to interpretation in positive and corresponding negative number bases.
Then in the "shadow" case of the octagonal, where we now consider results in positive number bases, palindromes results i.e. where reverse = original number * 1.
And this behaviour universally characterises subsequent sequences.
Thus the 1st non-trivial result applies to 6 in negative base 5, which is – 24. And the reverse is – 42 (i.e. 18 in denary terms).
And this replicates behaviour for its complementary sequence (in positive number bases).
11 (reverse) = 11 (original number) * 1.

Jim Lomax of Woodway, passed away Tuesday, January 24, 2023, at St. Anthony's Care Center.
Services will be 2 p.m., Saturday, February 4, at Saint Paul's Episcopal Church with the Rev. Brandon McGinnis officiating.
After the service, everyone will be invited to sing the "Good ole Baylor Line" in the church courtyard. Visitation with his family will be 3 to 6 p.m., Friday, Feb. 3, at OakCrest Funeral Home, 4520 Bosque Boulevard, Waco.
James William "Jimmy" or "Jim" Lomax was born July 2, 1935, as the final child of Mary Jane and J.T. Lomax. They already had Jane Evans and Martha Ann Lomax. All four have preceded Jim in death. J.T. was in business with his father in Meridian. His last business was J.T. Lomax Motors. When Jim became old enough, he became his dad's helper, from cleaning windshields to driving cars to their new owners.
When Jim entered Junior High School, sports were a new adventure for him. He tried them all! Football became his favorite and he played until he graduated. In high school, he received the Brooks Award for Outstanding Athletic Performance. In high school, he set records in track which were not broken until the 2000s.
He attended Baylor University, where beginning his sophomore year, he was known as "The Goody Man" for selling sandwiches, chips, and lots of milk cartons to members of all the sports departments. Graduating in 1957, Jim was still recognized as "The Goody Man" at Baylor events.
After graduating, Jim enjoyed the bachelor's life. At first, he sold insurance for Herb Barsh with the Burnett Agency. He sold the first dry copier for Thermo Fax before moving to Dallas. After a management adjustment, Jim talked with his father, and they agreed Texas Coffin Company in Waco would be a good fit. Jim got the job and trained in the office until a territory opened for him, which began a career that lasted 57 years.
Carolyn, the love of his life had followed him to Dallas, and they came home when his probation period was finished. They dated and enjoyed going to eat, visiting Meridian and many other adventures, in March 1962, Jim proposed. Carolyn accepted with a grin on her face and joy in her heart, and they married Friday, June 1, 1962. Thus begun 60-plus years of being together.
A house was bought in July 1963 and life began. After four years of not having children made the wish stronger. Finally, adoption was the answer, and they submitted their application to the Edna Gladney Home in Fort Worth. The wonderful news arrived May 2, 1966, that a baby boy was ready to become theirs. In October 1966, the adoption was finalized, and their new life began. Jim, Carolyn, and J. Addison were a team. The three continued to travel and visited family.
Then a little ache began for another child – a girl. Deborah Anne Lomax arrived in November 1968. J. named his sister by saying "It's going to be Debi." A family of four was now as busy as a hive of bees. When they got home, they put her in a buggy and off they went, a group of family that made a life for themselves. For Jim, Family was his life, he was an avid worker and if needed would work the occasional weekend but the weekends he mostly kept for time spent with his family.
Awards for Jim were many and meant so much to him, including being named in 2009 the "Funeral Supply Salesman of the Year," the highlight of his career. The room was filled with Texas funeral directors and his proud family.
Whether Jim was going to a soccer game to watch J. play; a, dance, or piano recital to watch Debi, he was proudly there.
Then later in life Jim became a grandfather to Britni first, then Skyler and Brooke followed a decade later, then C.J. was the final grandchild to arrive to complete Jim's family. His grandchildren always enjoyed making trips to Waco to surprise Jim when Jim got home from sales trips. he would make sure the car was gassed up and ready to roll on to a new adventure. The children called Jim "Do Daddy" because he would be ready to do anything they wanted to do.
Today, Jim has seen one daughter-in-law get a PhD in Education, Dr. Rachel McQuilken Lomax; one daughter get a PhD in Nursing, Dr. Deborah Lomax Skillman; and one granddaughter get a PhD in Criminal Chemistry, Dr. Britni Nicole Skillman.
Jim has lived a good life and was ready to go when God called him home.

Scrum is a project management framework based upon Agile principles and values. While originally designed for software development projects, Scurm is being adopted by project teams throughout IT and even external to IT. Co-creator of Scrum, Jeff Sutherland's book is the authoritative source for understanding the big-picture concepts behind Scrum as well as an overview of how Scrum practices are intended to function. For this review, we'll play the true/false game with some common perceptions about Scrum, using the concepts from the book as our answer key.
FALSE! Mr. Sutherland uses multiple examples of planning several months or even a year out as a communication tool for stakeholders. While the Scrum team will be focused on the current sprint, the Scrum Master, Product Owner and other stakeholders will also be looking at the big picture for the project and communicating to the broader organization what can be expected, with a certain level of certainty, well beyond the current sprint.
The level of certainty is dependent upon the maturity of the Scrum team, in particular, by 1) how consistently the number of story points they will complete each Sprint can be predicted and 2)how well groomed/refined the backlog is.
Organizations can struggle to fully adopt Agile concepts. Being able to communicate expectations beyond the current sprint is crucial to gaining buy-in from stakeholders external to the Scrum team.
FALSE! The role of the traditional project manager and the role of the Scrum Master do have some similarities, but not all traditional project managers will be strong Scrum Masters. The primary reason is that Scrum Masters have to be champions for Agile values and principles and, as such, have much more of a facilitation role than a "manager" role. Project managers will strong facilitation and soft skills are those most likely to adopt well to the role of Scrum Master.
A second factor is that Scrum requires a formal, active role for the Product Owner. In some organizations, project managers are expected to perform, at least via proxy, many of the functions Scrum allocates to the Product Owner. Project managers who take ownership over the direction of the product may be better suited as Product Owners in a Scrum environment than as Scrum Masters.
Any organizational implementation of Agile-based concepts such as Scrum should involve HR in order to ensure the right roles, job descriptions and staffing are available.
TRUE & FALSE! Scrum and other Agile-based frameworks are now the standard for managing software development projects. For other IT projects and for projects outside of IT, Scrum may not be the most effective project management approach. Determining when to apply Scrum or other project management approaches is dependent upon the complexity of the effort. For this purpose, consider complexity a factor of both how well known the end result is understood from the beginning and how well the team understands how to create that result.
Generally, Agile-based approaches will be more effective when there is a high degree of complexity. That is, when the end result isn't well understood and/or the method for creating it is uncertain. For example, the typical software development project is notorious for the end result evolving as end users realize that what they describe as wanting isn't what they actually end up needing. In such cases, Agile-based approaches such as Scrum are very effective for handling change throughout the project. Another way to phrase it is that when the project team will need to be highly creative to solve a large number of challenges, an Agile-based approach will be more effective.
Alternatively, traditional project management approaches such as waterfall or checklists are more effective when there is a low level of complexity. That is, when the result is very well understood and/or the method for creating it is certain. For example, when implementing a software solution at a new client, when that same solution has been implemented previously at similar clients, a traditional project management approach may be more effective because the end result is well known and how to achieve it is well known. In other words, the number of unique challenges is likely low and thus the creativity required isn't as high. For such projects, traditional approaches to project management may be more efficient and effective than Agile-based approaches.

Basketball legend Phil Jackson began studying Zen meditation in 1973, and went on to coach his players in the ways of mindfulness. That same year, quirky film director David Lynch took up Transcendental Meditation, and by his own accounting hasn't missed a day of practice since. Steve Jobs came out of the closet as a meditator in 1981, just after Apple stock went public. Pop star Katy Perry, who was named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2013, told Elle magazine she caught the meditation bug from her former husband, comedian Russell Brand. Mindfulness is fast becoming a cause célèbre at Fortune 100 companies as well: Google, Intel, and Target all have created custom, in-house meditation and wellness programs for their employees.
Some forward-thinking organizations are building mindfulness into meetings and education programs — and their efforts aren't about creating moments of Zen. Mindful awareness can improve brain function, raise emotional intelligence, and even heighten our ability to absorb and retain information. In other words, it can help your attendees help themselves.
From the C-suite to the celebrity
interview, mindfulness is
everywhere. It's even starting
to center itself at meetings and
conferences. Here's why — and
what it can do for your attendees.

DETROIT—As people and organizations across Michigan build and begin to recognize Detroit as the next cycling city, amenities like bike lanes and greenways are becoming increasingly important.
Many cycling infrastructure projects, however, still lack funding. While the vision of a connected cycling and walking utopia exists in the eyes of many residents who live here, the culture still lacks a degree of visibility.
Such is the sentiment of Wheelhouse Detroit co-owner and Tour de Troit organizer, Kelli Kavanaugh.
"A lot of people in Detroit see biking as hip, but it's so much more than that," she says. "Cycling here is a very common form of transportation, it's just not visible."
That's why Kavanaugh has paired up with the Detroit Eastside Community Collaborative to host Cycle into Spring - a benefit for the Conner Creek Greenway.
Located on Detroit's east side, the five-mile greenway stretches from Maheras Gentry Park on the Detroit River to Mack Ave., with jaunts and connecting routes in between. There is another four miles of greenway planned, yet currently lacks funding for construction.
Calling it the "Little Sister" of Tour de Troit, Kavanaugh thinks it's an opportunity for people to feel closer with the advocacy and activism components of the ride that may get drown out by larger rides.
Up to 80 participants have already signed up for the 20-mile ride that will take riders from the river to 8 Mile Rd. For $15 to $35, attendees can ride the route and see infamous landmarks along the way, including the Chrysler Assembly Plant, City Airport, and a recently completed greenway halfway through the ride called the Millbank Trail.
The greenway also passes through Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Detroit's largest, and will take riders underneath Conner St., which Kavanaugh says is "really cool." The full-length route is documented on Google Maps.
Kavanaugh sees the Conner Creek Greenway as an integral cycling amenity not just for those who ride for recreation, but for Eastsiders who ride, and have ridden, their bikes everyday for years.
"Many Eastsiders don't know the greenway is there - I think [they] will enjoy learning about the recreation amenities that are right outside their door," she says. "I think it's a part of the city that's underrepresented. It's a different feeling over there."
Kavanaugh says another reason people might be interested in the ride is because of its intimate nature. Calling it the "Little Sister" of Tour de Troit, she thinks it's an opportunity for people to feel closer to the advocacy and activism components of the ride that may get drowned out by larger rides.
"It's about getting people [to use it] on just regular days as a form of exercise, transportation and recreation -- not just big events," she says. "Every bike lane and every bike rack helps. [They're] like a gateway drug to get people cycling more regularly."
Registration for the inaugural Cycle into Spring ends Monday, May 14. If you can't participate in the ride, you can still donate on the Conner Creek Greenway website.


This week was pretty special.
I'd been looking forward to the day for months, but it was so much better than I expected. I felt incredible walking around in my gowns. "Look at me! I have a 1st class degree!". It's the only day you can get away with it, so I made sure I enjoyed it!
Well, it's the only day you can do it if that's your only graduation, right? If I were to do a masters or a PhD I'd get to graduate again.
After months of saying I didn't want to continue with education I think I might have changed my mind. I think the stress of university was worth it, and I would like to go back.
But I'm still going to take a year out to give myself a break and really decide what I want to do in life, and save some money just in case I do go back to uni.
I'll be sharing a full post about my graduation day on Thursday.
Other than my graduation, it's just been another typical week as an unemployed graduate. Tyrone and I did take some time out to see Terminator Genisys at the cinema, which isn't as bad as the reviews make it out to be. I quite enjoyed it.
In terms of the blog, I have decided to change my email subscription campaigns from emails each time a new post is published (three emails a week) to a weekly newsletter which is sent out on a Friday, and contains links to all the posts that were published that week. I'll also be sharing other blog related news and sharing my favourite posts from other bloggers.
So jump on board and sign up with your email in the sidebar!
Congratulations again, Holly! :3 Seeing your photo makes me wished I'd been able to walk for my master's, but alas I couldn't since it was all the way in Michigan, and I didn't have the funding to go all the way over there to walk for it. Oh well. I'm just glad I finished the degree, haha!
Thank you! It's a shame you couldn't make it to your graduation.
For the last two years of university all I wanted to do was get a job, and now I'm out here in the real world all I want to do is go back into education.
Congrats on graduating!!!! You look great!
My partner graduated twice (his mum made him, haha). Once when he did his undergrad, and second when he did his Honors (which perhaps is still undergrad? I have no idea!). I'm looking foward to your graduation post on Thursday! You look lovely in your gown and dress.
Congratulations on graduating with a first! With the hard work you put it, you definitely deserved to go all out as much as you can. The more education you get, the better. I always think education is valuable; and trying to make a career out of it is just as important too. I heard Arnold was in the new Terminator movie. It's like a throwback in modern time XD.
Thank you! I hate the fact that there are so few jobs relating to my degree out there, which is why I want to go back to university and get some more useful skills. I'm considering a masters in computer science.
Arnold is amazing. Always is!
Congrats again on graduating! You look great in your gown, and your dress is so cute 🙂 I think that's great that you're giving yourself a break to figure things out. Sometimes I miss college life, but I also like where I'm working now. It can be hard to decide!
I'd be enjoying life away from university more if I had a job. At least uni kept me occupied!
Haha, I think I look like my mum too but everyone else says I look more like my dad!
Congratulations on graduating! I love all the graduation pictures I'm seeing this week, it just gives me so much nostalgia!
Yeah, I remember saying that I didn't want to continue education, but I'm definitely considering a Masters!
I think we just get into this situation towards the end of our undergraduate degree where there's nothing worse than the thought of more studying. But it's been a couple of months and I miss it a lot.
Congrats on graduation! You look so pretty in that dress. I am obsessed with that color, my bed sheets, laptop shell, iPad shell and agenda are all that color. 😛 I went into university wanting to pursue my Master's but I figure if I get a job and have the chance to do so for work then I will, but for now another two years really feels are to give up for a Masters. Considering I graduate in 2017, going till 2019 makes me feel uneasy. I have never done a newletter for my email. I feel like no one would sign up. Maybe one day when I get a bigger following I will. For now I will focus on trying to get some side projects.
Thank you! I love the colour too. I was so grateful to have blue gowns because the dress looked great with them.
I wish I had a job to give up! If I get a good job then I might not want to leave, but I'm still stuck in this situation in a years time I'll be off back to uni!
I was quite surprised when people started signing up to mine. I like to provide lots of ways for people to subscribe.
Congratulations on graduating! I still have a long ways to go. I'm sure in time you'll find that you actually miss Uni and wouldn't mind going back. Though, I could be wrong.
Thank you! It will be worth the wait!
Congrats Holly for your graduation!
Sorry I don't. But if I ever wear it again I'll be sure to take a photo!


This weekend our favourite country park (Moors Valley) had a special occasion. They turned 25 so celebrated by having a Gruffalo trail and the opportunity to meet him. Of course being big fans we jumped at the chance!

Lack of classic CoD feature has Vanguard players questioning odd decision
When Vanguard launched on November 5, players couldn't help but notice the absence of a tried-and-true Call of Duty feature.
Some Vanguard players are questioning the omission of a fan-favorite Call of Duty feature.
The majority of Vanguard players have voiced their opinion on how rushed and unfinished this iteration of Call of Duty feels. We've experienced a ton of bugs and glitches so far. To make matters worse, players can't seem to find an iconic Call of Duty feature.
The Call of Duty community is all about showmanship. Comparing your kill/death ratio or your days played to your friends has been the foundation of a braggadocios multiplayer experience. Bragging rights have been eliminated altogether thanks to the absence of a leaderboard.
Missing Vanguard leaderboards
Without the leaderboard feature, it is impossible to compare your gameplay to others. A leaderboard system is a staple of most modern multiplayer games. The whole idea of developing a lively multiplayer community goes hand in hand with allowing players to check their standing amongst a sea of players.

The lack of this vital feature further cements Vanguard as a barebones title. This is just one strange decision added to the many made by Sledgehammer prior to release. Although, it's never too late to add this feature.
A vocal group of players are demanding the inclusion of the leaderboard feature. The developers may decide that it is a necessary inclusion. A leaderboard showcases a variety of valuable statistics. This allows you to compare your gameplay to your friends and the top players around the world.
Strange that Leaderboards still haven't even been added to #vanguard yet
— MW2 OG (@TheMW2Ghost) November 17, 2021
At the moment, players can take comfort in the fact that they can view their personal Vanguard statistics such as kill/death ratio, kills per weapon, and match victories.
To check current leaderboards, players must use a tracker app. In other words, the ideal outcome would result in being able to see where you rank amongst Vanguard players in-game.

These voiced concerns will likely continue to grow, especially considering that we are about two weeks away from the release of Warzone Pacific: Caldera.
Warzone players take their in-game ranking very seriously. Therefore, a leaderboard feature is imperative at launch.

Does being thankful for tough stuff really help? | Live. Learn. Lead.
Does being thankful for tough stuff really help?
Thankfulness seems so simple. You do something nice for someone and then they say thank you. You do likewise. It's how things are supposed to be. However, we all know that is often not the case. If I'm going to do something for someone, I know that I might not be thanked. That is a how it often is. Just recently, I helped someone out. It was a small thing. I kind of did it more for the program he was in more than him specifically, but he expressed his deep gratitude and it caught me a bit off guard as I didn't really expect it. Thankfulness is often unexpected.
Expressing gratitude makes sense in everyday life. But, is it necessary to express thanks for adversity in our life? I believe in God and I know that He can intervene and change things. I know that for reasons known to Him alone, He often does not. I also know that sometimes the impact of humanity and others' wrongdoings affect me. Someone's bad choices may result in my pain. Is it right in those circumstances to actually be thankful?
1. Thankfulness is not giving up. It can seem weak to express gratitude for pain. Isn't that something that a person who is giving up would do? Releasing the difficulty we cannot change into the hands of someone who can is an exercise of great wisdom. It's actually much harder to express thankfulness and give our pain to God, than it is to try to carry it ourselves. The effort to pass it over means acknowledging that there is a bigger picture and it requires letting go. This is a sign of great strength, not weakness.
2. Thankfulness releases me of negativity. It's so easy to allow difficulties in our life to make us negative. If someone has hurt us, we can ponder about the situation until we become incredibly bitter. Why would we be thankful for difficulties and hurts? In and of ourselves, we wouldn't; we don't know how! However, when we seek God, and we ask Him to help us be thankful for our circumstances – and when we begin to pray for those who have hurt us, the negativity dissipates. Often, in its' place, there is sympathy. We begin to see them differently and are sad for the choices they have made. It frees us when we are thankful.
3. Thankfulness gives strength. As we release our pain to God, and express thankfulness, He is able to give us strength. He is free to work and this often opens the door to the future. Our hope in Christ enables us to see things that we wouldn't able to as when we are angry and bitter. God wants to be our everything. He can only do that when we fully rest in Him.
4. Thankfulness changes my perspective, not my situation. The act of being thankful is often not the happy ending to a fairytale. It's the beginning of accepting that things are not the way they are supposed to be but that God can do something deep within us and even the people around us as we have a spirit of gratitude. The world looks brighter when we have hope. We approach things differently.
This is a daily learning for me. It's not something we arrive at. I've personally experienced drastic changes in my worldview when I stopped and became thankful for adversity in my life. Bob Shank recently said "there is not a leader that I personally respect that has not been deeply betrayed at some point in their life." His words stunned me. Really? Deep betrayal had enabled many to become leaders of great integrity and influence. They clearly were thankful for the adversity they had experienced. They used it as a foundation for their futures. Their world changed, they became better leaders because they allowed something very difficult to make them stronger and better people.
That is what being thankful can do. It's the bigger picture. It's what I cannot see. It's allowing God to do a deep work within me and ultimately, help me to become what I'm intended.

The International Association for Dance Medicine & Science was formed in 1990 by an international group of dance medicine practitioners, dance educators, dance scientists, and dancers. Membership is drawn equally from the medical and dance professions, and has grown from an initial 48 members in 1991 to over 900 members at present world-wide, representing 35 countries.
The organization has held an Annual Meeting since its inception, drawing several hundred participants each year. Beginning in 1997, a separate Day For Teachers has been held before or after the annual meeting. In 2005, a Special Interests Group (SIG) Day was held in association with the Annual Meeting for the first time. Subsequent SIG Days have included separate programs for: dance educators; physiotherapists and other allied health professionals; dance movement researchers; perceptuo-motor learning and dance kinesiology teachers; medical doctors; orthopaedic surgeons; and students. Recent SIG Days have focused on musculoskeletal medicine and are open to all interested delegates. Click here for a complete table of past Annual Meetings (renamed to "Annual Conferences" in 2016).
IADMS was formed to foster several related goals in the dance medicine and science field; the purposes and objectives of the organization are summarized in its Mission Statement:
IADMS enhances health, well-being, training, and performance in dance by cultivating medical, scientific, and educational excellence.
IADMS has always striven to promote an international network of communication between dance and medicine.
Note on pronunciation:
The International Association for Dance Medicine & Science community often does not refer to the Association by its complete name. Instead, in conversation the acronym "IADMS" is used. The most common pronunciation of the acronym is 'eye-adams' with the accent on the 'ad' ('eye-AD-ams').

A corporate library or information service is a unit within a corporate body providing the information that the staff need to carry out the work of the organization. Corporate bodies include business firms engaged in retail and manufacture, law firms, consultancies, other commercial entities like banks and insurance firms, professional trade bodies and non-governmental organizations. Many of the media organizations such as newspapers and broadcasting can also be brought within the purview of corporates by virtue of their nature and style of functioning, but they are marked by a distinct identity based on their common function. Corporate and media information services naturally reflect their parent organizations and are therefore various and heterogeneous. Yet, across all organizations, they face similar challenges. The primary challenge is to prove their worth when the main function of the parent organizations is not officially information provision or learning. The role of the information professional in such a context is particularly challenging. There is a whole gamut of information which can be provided by the information centres, but the parent body may not always try to obtain them from a dedicated information service. In a scenario where information is abundantly available to end users, information professionals today must ask themselves what value their special skills add to their organization. Moreover, the complexity of when, where, and how information is accessed, has created a new set of responsibilities related to managing internal and external information resources.
It is in this background that Kerala Library Association (KLA) is organizing a national conference on Corporate and Media Librarianship. KLA has a great tradition of successfully organizing national seminars on School Libraries, Academic Libraries at the higher education level and public libraries. Now, we consider it appropriate to concentrate on the special library sector, with special emphasis on corporate and media information centres.
