An Alaska Airlines jetliner with 88 people on board crashed into the Pacific Ocean on Monday afternoon, minutes after the pilot reported a
mechanical problem and was diverting to Los Angeles International Airport to make an emergency landing.
Nine hours after Flight 261 went down into the chilly waters, there were no signs of survivors and hope dimmed with each passing hour that
anyone would be found alive. Ships from the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy and commercial fishing vessels, along with helicopters and fixed-wing
aircraft, scoured the sea throughout the night looking for wreckage and hoping to find survivors.
Officials said some bodies had been recovered as well as some debris from the plane. A team from the National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB) was en route to the crash site from Washington, D.C., to investigate.
The MD-83 aircraft was flying from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to San Francisco and then on to Seattle. It went down about 4:30 p.m. PST, about 20 miles northwest of Los Angeles along California's central coast. Weather at the time was clear.
Airline officials said the plane carried 83 passengers -- 30 were said to be employees of Alaska Airlines or its sister company, Horizon Air -- and a crew of five.
Clergy and grief counselors at both San Francisco International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport were on hand to comfort
friends and family of those on board the plane. Alaska Airlines also launched its comfort team -- employees specially trained to help others in a tragedy -- to try to assist those who gathered at the airport. Officials said such assistance could include making arrangements for them to travel to where the plane went down.
A temporary command post was set up at the Channel Islands U.S. Coast Guard Station. The Salvation Army set up a canteen offering coffee
and sandwiches to law enforcement personnel and media members who were at the site. The American Red Cross also was on the scene in
case it was needed.
Norman Patton, a captain with the Salvation Army in Oxnard, said his organization would offer counseling to both rescue workers and the
relatives or friends of the passengers on the plane.
"There may be some families who come here hoping for closure," Patton said.
At both San Francisco and Seattle-Tacoma international airports, people who had arrived to meet the flight were taken to a private room, away
from the glare of television lights.
"Our job is to just listen and try to help as much as possible," said Maynard Sargent, a Salvation Army captain who was among dozens of
counselors on hand to meet the grieving at Sea-Tac airport. "We will be here as long as we need to be."
It was not immediately known if a faith-based disaster response would be organized by Church of the Brethren Disaster Child Care, as it was
for the Egyptair 990 crash. DCC provides a team of specially trained childcare workers to help care for children in the wake of a tragedy such as an airline crash.
Lydia Walker, DCC coordinator, explained that the idea behind Disaster Child Care is "to provide something just for children that will take the load off the parents and the caseworkers but give the children something special that would be a time of quiet and healing and space that's their own where they could just be children."
The Egyptair 990 crash in which 217 people died was the first full response for the childcare team, which is organized by the Church of the Brethren through an agreement with the American Red Cross.
In Oxnard, Coast Guard officials who were heading up what they were still describing as a "search and recovery" effort late Monday said they would continue their efforts all night.
The plane went down in more than 300 feet of water between Anacapa Island and the mainland, officials said. The water temperature was
about 55 degrees at the time.
Shortly before the plane disappeared from radar screens, the crew radioed that it was having problems with the stabilizer trim and was turning back to Los Angeles to make an emergency landing.
Airline officials said late Monday night that they did not want to speculate on the cause of the crash. They said that determination would be made by the NTSB.

Grönefeld Parallax Tourbillon
No confusion on your part as far as telling the seconds on the new Grönefeld Parallax Tourbillon is concerned. By definition, 'parallax' is the difference in the apparent position of an object when viewed from two different lines of sight. To counteract this effect, Grönefeld places the seconds hand really close to the edge of the dial, over the indices. This allows you to check the time, down to the precise second in whatever angle you view the watch. To keep it even more efficient, the seconds hand is loaded with a pinion and wheel, to eliminate the need for a friction spring. As you've also noticed, the Parallax has a flying tourbillon escapement dominating the layout of the dial. Apart from the hours and minutes display, there's also a power reserve indicator as well as the 'S/W' indicator on the watchface. The 'S' activates when you're ready to set the time. When this feature is called, the central seconds hand returns to the 12 o'clock default position. The 'W' is pointed when you're winding the watch. Two models are available: 28 pieces in red gold and 12 pieces in stainless steel. Both are housed in a 43mm case, powered by an in-house Calibre G-03. ~$185,000.
We hope you enjoyed this Grönefeld Parallax Tourbillon article!

The Federal Aviation Administration has informed several developers including Related Group and Florida East Coast Realty that the height of their proposed condo towers may interfere with flights at Miami International Airport and will need further study.
The rulings are not final and mean that the FAA will study the potential impact of the skyscrapers on flight safety for another 120 days. In the past, the agency has issued such notices and then approved towers with only a small reduction in height.
The FAA sent the most recent "notices of presumed hazard" for air navigation to six proposed buildings in Miami, including two Related projects.
Those were the Auberge Residences and Spa at 1400 Biscayne Blvd., which Related told the FAA it plans to build as high as 877 feet, and One Brickell at 444 Brickell Ave., which has a planned height of 646 feet.
The FAA said its initial study concluded that neither building should exceed 470 feet.
Carlos Rosso, president of Related's condo division, said the ruling would not delay or interfere with the projects. "It's typical in the approval process," Rosso said in an email. " The projects are on track to obtain their approvals."
The agency also told Florida East Coast Realty that its high-rise tower at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive, designed to rise nearly 1,000 feet, should be capped at 483 feet.
Other buildings receiving FAA notices were a mixed-use project by the Chetrit Group on the south bank of the Miami River between Interstate-95 and the Second Avenue Bridge; a 969 foot tower at 340 Biscayne Blvd. by Sunny Isles developer Louis Montello; and a 57-story condo tower at 700 NE 23rd St. by Two Roads Development that would be the tallest building in Edgewater if completed.
"We are aware, and were expecting, the FAA's initial determination letter, which is a standard administrative notice prior to commencement of the formal review process," Tadd Schwartz, a spokesman for Two Roads Development, said in a statement. "Two Roads has been in constant communication with the FAA administrator throughout the submission process, and we are following the same protocols as we did with our Biscayne Beach condominium application, which concluded with a favorable Determination of No Hazard."
The developers all have the opportunity to sit down with the FAA, a process that has ended well for builders in the past.
In June, the agency approved One Brickell City Centre after developer Swire Properties agreed to reduce its height from 1,111 feet to 1,049 feet. In its initial notice, the FAA had said the building should be no more than 461 feet.
If built, the 80-story tower will be Miami's tallest tower.

Seo Compared To Google Adwords Versus Social Media - Which Method Do I Pick
Google the company name and look for recommendations from their customers. Certain the company can offer you with tons of case studies and pleased clients' suggestions, but it's very best to find opinions about the quality of Philadelphia SEO services on your own.
At final, the base line is that any great Search engine optimization Seo Solutions business will impress you. You will feel confident about the abilities of its employees. You feel like your website is in really capable hands. When you function with the correct company, you'll never be left in the lurch. From day 1, you'll really feel confident about what they can do for you. These qualities are vital, and they separate the fantastic Seo companies from the not-so-fantastic Seo Search engine optimization Services companies.
Spiders can't index webpages that can't be crawled so it is essential to have a website map page. A site map will help spiders find all the important pages on your site, and assist the spider understand your site's hierarchy. This significantly helps web sites that have a difficult-to-crawl navigation menu. If your website is big you can easily make a number of site map pages. Keep in mind to maintain every 1 to less than 100 links, seventy five links is just sufficient.
Your Own Seo and Link Development Campaign - Your personal hyperlink development and Search engine optimization marketing campaign should be comprehensive, covering all the aspects of a nicely optimized website and utilizing all your sources for obtaining incoming hyperlinks. If your Philadelphia SEO services marketing campaign isn't approached correctly, your competitors can surpass you in the rankings easily. You must be aware of your competition and modify your efforts appropriately.
Where on Earth do you start? I believe the apparent answer to that is Google, simply because as Google page one accounts for 50%twenty five of ALL web traffic for any niche or key phrase, then any service who is NOT on web page 1 in Google for 'top seo services' is clearly not a leading seo services. Doctor, first heal thyself and all that.
Most of Philadelphia SEO company seo give Website Optimization alongside with Off Web page optimization and also consist of a lengthy phrase Off Page optimization to enhance rankings which include huge price to market any site. Sure, it helps in ranking but most of business really does not function on pages correctly to see that it ought to be the very best web page then its competitor. As this need a thoughts sport and knowledge to see various factors to do on page Optimization. Most of Search engine optimization expert usually function on some Meta tags and small little bit of text. But is the relevancy of the exact same with entire page, they do not know.
The web is a supply ?f stupendous amount ?f information th?t c?n b? accessed f?r varied needs and requirements.

This info when provided ?n the right dose ?nd ?n the r?ght way will go a lengthy w?y in maintaining th? user targeted ?nd retaining h?s existence ?n the page.
The first and the foremost things would be to be clear. This is the thing that any business would anticipate from you. They would always want you to speak the truth about what is taking place regardless of the fact that there are problems that they are dealing with. When the Http://Encyclopediaitalica.Com/Index.Php/Good_Factors_To_Outsource_Your_Seo_Company is attempting to conceal the problems that it is dealing with, then it would be a very difficult thing for getting their self-confidence back from the company for which they are operating when.

About Us
Emily Stacy
The Biology Greenhouse is a teaching and research facility in the Biology Department. While many plants are grown in the short term for research studies, the permanent collection is used in plant biology classes offered by the Biology Department and for outreach to local schools and the general public.
Throughout the school year, the greenhouse is open for tours during select hours for small groups (see
Contact Us
for tour hours). For large groups, tours are available year-round only if arranged ahead of time (see
Contact Us
to book a group tour). Don't forget to bring your camera!
We also conduct themed tours of the greenhouse showcasing specific plant groups. For instance, during McMaster Wellness Week 2014, we conducted tours showcasing plants that clean the air by removing harmful chemicals and toxins. Our tours are geared towards a variety of age groups including adults, teenagers and children between 5 and 6 years of age. Every summer we are a regular stop for the Venture Camps that run on campus and throughout the year we do numerous tours as part of the Let's Talk Science outreach program. We have recently expanded our tours to include guided tours of the tropical house, an in-depth introduction to plants with special defenses, that move in response to touch and some that have carnivorous appetites. We also have a special station set up with plants that you can touch – they vary from plants that are soft a fuzz, scaly and bumpy, and some plants that released delicious smelling perfumes.
Courses that use the greenhouse
During the fall term (September to December), the greenhouse is used to grow plants for Bio 2D03, a second year course offered by the Department of Biology focusing on plant biodiversity and biotechnology. At the beginning of the course, students visit the greenhouse and are afforded the opportunity to become familiar with many of the plants in our collection.
As part of the second year Integrated Science program, students also tour the greenhouse and learn about the different kinds of plant defenses used to deter herbivory including both chemical and physical deterrents (such as spines and thorns).
During the winter term (January to April), the greenhouse is used by Bio 3B03, another course offered by the Department of Biology that focuses on plant physiology. For this course, corn plants are grown hydroponically in nutrient solutions and students are responsible for measuring the plants and determining what nutrients are lacking from their plants based on the plant phenotype.
An archeology course, Anthro 3K03 uses the greenhouse to allow students to connect the archeological materials from their labs with their plant origins.
The McMaster Biology Greenhouse provides graduate and undergraduates students the opportunity to conduct plant studies outside of the lab and during the winter months. During the summer months plants are grown on benches using ambient light but in the winter, artificial lights are used to enhance light availability.
Past studies in the greenhouse have focused on kin recognition responses of plants grown with both maternal (kin) and non-maternal (stranger) plants. This past summer a competition study involving the growth of
Brassica oleracea
cultivars (kale, collards, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi and savoy cabbage) was conducted to examine the fitness consequence of competitive plant traits.
Currently, we are growing three kinds of plants for use in maintaining an insect population. the first two are for Dr. Rosa da Silva for use in undergraduate research projects. The flat white bean plants for the brown marmorated stinkbugs and English ivy for the Indian stick insects. We are also growing tobacco plants to maintain an aphid population for Dr. Chad Harvey.
Plant Sale
In October 2015, we had a plant sale that featured plants grown in the greenhouse.

This is our lovely club president, Toastmaster IC Ooi, who is also the 2nd Runner-Up for the International Speech 2013. Mr President used to be the District Champion for Toastmaster Humorous Speech Contest 2 years back & we are glad that he made it again to the Division Level.
Humble Sharing from our Ex Humorous Speech District Champion that he is glad that he has participated this contest, although not making it to the top but the experience acquired & the development from within during this contest period is a valuable one. And this, I fully agree as I used to undergo this by participating in the humorous speech contest half year ago. The improvement is vast.
Again, before ending, let's us put our hand together to congratulate our winner and thank you for representing our club and made it to the Division level.

Your palms are sweaty , knees weak, arms are heavy . Everyone seems calm and ready .......... This is most definitely how a Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes game starts off , everyone has their game faces on , until that timer goes off and then most certainly madness ensues.
You are trying to tell people what you are seeing , people are yelling directions left , right and center !! All I can say its like an old school game board night on steroids (without the obvious awesomeness that is Virtual Reality ) It starts of all friendly and cool but when the bombs start going off its always someone elses fault and most certainly not yours.
The concept is simple, one person wears the VR headset and is presented with a virtual bomb, each bomb has multiple modules that must be defused before the timer reaches zero and the bomb detonates. In order to defuse the various bomb modules the VR user is given verbal instructions by those not wearing the headset from a printed or PDF bomb manual that explains the various modules and how they can be disarmed.
I found a systematic and pragmatic approach is the best, hear what the person in VR is seeing and take your cues from them . Which wire to cut first is the best and most easiest way to start . Though by far the funniest is the symbols. Everyone sees things in a different way and the descriptions of those symbols are hysterical . My personal favorite was " its a butt with a comma !!" Add alcohol and then its anyone's guess !!!
When you get onto the subject of memory, a pen and paper is a must especially for us pragmatical beings . But then again when alcohol is involved , well....... it just is what it is . It is a fun game but I did come across a few glitches on the Gear VR version , it's very frustrating when you get the green lights but it just wont diffuse . This happens very little, but when it does it drives you bananas . All in all its an extremely fun game , drunk or sober and will challenge even the best puzzle maniacs . I hope one day to get to the very end and diffuse every bomb possible . I cant wait to see what else Steel Crate Games come up with.
Developer: Steel Crate Games
Platform: Oculus Rift, Gear VR

Look at the wonderful package I received from Carol for the HOE Prairie Schooler Exchange!!! I love the mattress pin cushion she stitched for me! It is a freebie design that I have stitched a couple of time because I like it so much, but still hadn't stitched it for myself. I love it, and now I might try making a mattress pin cushion since I have a great example to follow! I think that lovely piece of silkweaver fabric is calling for a Haunted House design. Love it!
My appologies to Susan for not having posted this sooner. This is the adorable LK ornament exchange I received over a week ago. I am going to have such a nice tree this year with all my F&S exchange squares and all the other exchange pieces I have received. I just need to get into gear and do the finishing on some.
Don't forget to post to last weeks (Friday's) Halloween post to be entered into the drawing, which will be held tonight. I will post the winner tomorrow!!!
Have a great day!

- 300 l vented box - a nominally 1.2 H x 0.55 W x 0.6 D box.
- Vent tuned at 30 Hz.
- HP at 20 Hz, 2nd order.
- LP at 700 Hz, 4th order.
- No Linkwitz transformer.
- Source voltage at 14 Vrms, which is around 25 W amp.
- Disabled baffle step correction.
At this condition, I was able to get the following predicted response. Note that the driver excursion is limited to below 4mm. At 25W power, it is giving around 100 dB, with f-3 at around 27 Hz. Fairly decent result, with less tinkering with EQs. Bigger box, but that may have to be the sacrifice.

A Look at the Kitchen of the Future
For most of us, kitchens are the epicenter of our households. From intimate gatherings to large family functions, the kitchen is where we often feel the most comfortable chatting, cleaning and of course, eating.
To celebrate the kitchen and its endless possibilities in the 21st century, the National Kitchen Business Association (NKBA) Manhattan Chapter sponsored the 2015 Kitchen of the Future Symposium entitled "Eating, Living & Building – Designing the Kitchen of the Tomorrow" on November 18. This well-attended, elegant event was hosted by Häfele America Co. in Manhattan.
The daylong symposium consisted of three highly credentialed speakers who discussed a diverse range of topics on the future of kitchens. Leeann Lavin, author of The Hamptons & Long Island Homegrown Cookbook, spoke passionately on the subject of food (eating). Ray Kinoshita Mann, an associate professor at UMass Amherst's Department of Architecture, discussed the sociology (living) theme. And Joe Wheeler, associate professor at Virginia Tech's School of Architecture and Design, talked about design (building).
The Adaptation of Design and Technology
Rounding out the day's event, Lavin, Mann and Wheeler participated in a Q&A panel discussion that was moderated by John Morgan, former NKBA president. Morgan kicked things off by asking how they see design and technology adapting and evolving to the rapid shifts in demographics such as multi-generational households to young singles.
Wheeler said he feels it's important to find the perfect blend of functionality and technology, citing voice activation software and drawers versus doors (drawers winning out over doors for the elderly). One of his ideas bringing the two concepts together was a laundry soap function that is programmed to send the consumer an electronic reminder (email, text) to reorder when it ran low.
"The market is going to determine if we want our soap monitored," he said later in the evening when an audience member asked where we draw the line on all of this extra technology. "Where we are now is discovery mode."
Mann said while she's all for technology, she doesn't want people to lose sight of the importance of physical space and how that simple component will never go away despite constant technological advances. Her "Dish Rack Syndrome" was featured during her presentation, citing the importance of functionality over costly and stunning designs.
"Start with utility and find out what its function is," added Lavin, who spoke passionately throughout the evening about sustainability and whole food options. "I encourage you to embrace [technology], but don't steer away from old technology."
Her presentation touched on both new and old concepts to enhance today and tomorrow's kitchen, including drone food delivery and creating customized food with 3D printing, as well as organic cleaning products and more efficient food waste elimination/mitigation options.
Morgan concluded the evening with a simple question, arguably something that was on the minds of most audience members. "We all have something to sell," he said. "What is it? What is that one thing to help our clients right now?"
Mann gave perhaps the most concise answer: "Dish rack." Wheeler said taking the time to educate your client on what's available could be the most important thing you do. And Lavin concluded the evening with a touch of altruistic sentimentality that seemed to resonate overall with the room.
"You want a kitchen that makes memories," she said. "Of course you're going to die, but it's how you live that's most important."

"My main focus in my life is music, as it has been for a long time. But, not anymore in the sense that I need to try to make it as big as I can or to take the world by storm. I'm not looking into things like becoming the next guitar player for Megadeth or Ozzy. I'm also not interested anymore in touring five months a year just so that more people talk about it. I just want to be able to continue making my own music, fulfill my musical visions, and get better as a player and writer." January 29, 2016
We interview talents to gain a new perspective. So, if we're doing a semi-adequate job, we'll just have an experience, grab a coffee and call it a day. Yet, if we're willing to challenge the boundaries of someone's comfort zone, without disrespect, then the results can be very satisfying, a journey well-traveled.
However, if we challenge those boundaries with a champion, a self-contender, a true artist that revels in probabilities and finding the extraordinary within the center of his earth, expect a big bang. I jibed that if Christian ever wanted to write a biography to hit me up; I don't think he realized I wasn't kidding.

Dance - Australian Walkabout
Previous Thread Next Thread Indented
Alan Paterson Oct. 7, 2001, 12:33 p.m. (Message 27772)
Does anyone have any information on the dance of this name? I find that my (hastily written no doubt) notes are vague on a few points - in particular as to the name of the devisor. Perhaps someone from the Antipodes? Alan
Jan Wilson Oct. 8, 2001, 8:15 a.m. (Message 27777, in reply to message 27772)
Can't find a dance of that title in my records, however 'Gushet Neuk' in the Glasgow Assembly book (devised by Bob Campbell) was originally titled "Let's All Go Walkabout". Could this be the dance in question? Alternatively Keith Napier <email@example.com> would probably be able to clarify the matter. Jan Wilson Alexandria, Sydney Australia
Gill Reynolds Oct. 21, 2001, 5:49 p.m. (Message 27946, in reply to message 27772)
Alan only just catching up with Strathspey: could the dance be Etta's Walkabout (a Strathspey danced to the tune of Waltzing Matilda) by Ruth Rintoul and in one of the Alba books? best wishes Gill

Oh dear. Don't have ANY Alba books, nor any information on Ruth Rintoul. What a poor excuse for a comprehensive database! Any volunteers? Alan P.S. The dance is definitely called "Australian Walkabout" - but no-one knows anything about it.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
~Arnold Glasow
(please feel free to use this!)
I love learning more about my fellow MilSpouse bloggers. So I created a weekly meme. Each week, I'll post a list of questions on Thursday (so you can have your blog ready on Friday). Come back here on Friday (like today!) and enter your blog post into Mr. Linky below so others know who else participated and we can all visit other blogs. Please leave a comment too! And please feel free to use the button above!
(Please forgive me if I can't get to visit everyone's blogs the next few weeks. I get only a few days with Huzzy–first since early spring!–before I head off to two months of school for the Navy on the opposite side of the country… I'm gonna be a bit busy!)
1. Besides the horizontal mambo, what do you miss most when your spouse is deployed?
Oh gosh, I can never stick to one on my own questions! I miss laying my head on his shoulder at night. I miss him grabbing my hand every time we get in a vehicle and holding it no matter if he is driving or if I am. And I miss back rubs. Oh my Lord does that man give fantastic back rubs.
2. What do you miss least?
The absolute thing I DO NOT MISS is him snotting in the shower. It's disgusting. I hate it. Don't miss it. Drives me up the wall.
3. You only get three crayons to finish your picture… which three do you choose and why?
I would use yellow, blue (and not because they are Navy colors) and pink. Yellow is sunshine and everything light to me. Blue is a color that can represent everything from sadness to a gorgeous summer sky… from the calm ocean waters to raging winter storms. And pink, well, I love pink. It's girly and cheery and reminds me of flowers and everything good.
4. If you could have your own fragrance, what would it be called?
I would call it Summer Lovin'. It would be a mixture of orange blossoms, amber, orchid and some more citrus like honeydew.
5. If the shoes make the man (or woman), what do your shoes say about you right now?
I'm not wearing shoes right now. So does that mean I'm nothing? LOL… well, my socks are white and clean, so I guess that means I'm clean and practical? I'm very comfy in my home (when my dumb @ss landlords aren't doing their "monthly" inspections). But generally my shoes are practical and comfy… which is the type of person I am. I do love my girly shoes though… so practical, comfy and girly would describe me!
Please don't forget to add your blog link to Mr. Linky below. But also if you are not participating in MilSpouse Friday Fill-In this week, please do not put your link on there… I will remove it. It is unfair to others who do participate.

Proving Mitt Romney's momentum in the swing states is real, a new American Research Group (ARG) poll found Romney and President Obama tied at 48% in Iowa in a D+1 poll.
Last month, before Romney dominated Obama in their first presidential debate, Obama led by 7 points in the ARG poll of Iowa, a state Obama won by nearly 10 points in 2008.
Romney leads by 4 points among independents in the new poll, which surveyed 600 likely voters October 11-14 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.5%.
Obama leads in the RCP average in Iowa by 2.7 points, but the momentum is swinging to Romney, and this poll is another example of that.

Questions? 718-638-3566 or email@example.com
One of the most interesting things about the food of the African Diaspora is how closely it connects the people who prepare it, often without them even realizing it. There are several characteristics that almost all cuisines of the African Diaspora share: seasoning techniques; cooking techniques such as stewing and frying; the prevalence of starchy mashes or porridges eaten with stews and soups or on their own; Among African, Latin and Caribbean cuisines, ingredients are nearly identical, most likely due to the similarity in climate. Tropical foods such as plantains, cassava, coconuts and palm oil are staples in West African and Afro-Brazilian cooking. The distinctive ingredients of southern cuisine, as well as the styles of cooking them, have been common for centuries in Africa.
We invite you to taste our Rich Heritage in the bountiful garden!

Top 5 Hootsuite Features For Business
With 6 million users worldwide, including some of the world's most recognizable brands, a 272% increase in corporate sales, and a thriving online community of users, Hootsuite has quickly established itself as an essential Social Media management tool for businesses.
This dramatic growth has been mainly due to the demand of large global organisations, who have now embraced Social Media as a way to communicate and engage with their customers, create online communities and monitor what's being said about their products or services online.
With hundreds of social media management tools now available on the market, what makes Hootsuite so popular with so many of today's social businesses?
In this post, we will look at some of Hootsuite's main features that support the social media activities of today's modern business.
Account Management
These days, most organisations are active on more than one social network. This presents a challenge to many businesses. The main one being that this can take a great deal of time and resource away from other important areas of the business. One way to manage this more efficiently is by using Hootsuite. This allows businesses to manage all their profiles under one social dashboard, including Twitter, Facebook, Google+ Pages and Linkedin. Also, thanks to the Hootsuite App Directory you have access to a collection of extensions that will allow you to add even more social tools and networks to your dashboard, including YouTube, Tumblr and Instagram, as well at tools like MailChimp, Salesforce and ZenDesk.
Social Media isn't just about sharing, it's also very important to listen to what people are saying. For businesses, there could be millions of people out there already talking about your products or services online- if you aren't listening then you could be missing out. Hootsuite allows businesses to monitor what's being said about their brand, products or services online with ease. You can even monitor what people are saying about your competitors, allowing you to quickly respond and engage with potential customers. You also have the ability to geo-locate your searches, allowing you to monitor what people are saying in your local area. This works especially well for local businesses who want to reach out to the local community.
Social Media is a great way to share your content. Whether you're a small business or a huge global organisation, there will be times that you won't have access to your computer or your mobile phone. With Hootsuite's advanced scheduling feature, businesses can schedule their posts to come out at regular intervals which maximizes the penetration of your shared content, maintaining a consistent social presence for your business. This works especially well if you have a global community that live in a different time zone than you. You can also use the Auto Schedule technology to optimize and automate your scheduling process. This will automatically queue your posts ensuring they are sent out at optimal delivery times from within the dashboard.
Team Collaboration
With "Hootsuite Teams" businesses are provided with a set of tools that allows teams to collaborate through Hootsuite with efficiency and ease. These tools have been designed to make social media management easier for businesses of all sizes, allowing team members to support, coordinate, monitor and publish tasks across the various social networks within your Hootsuite dashboard. Hootsuite Conversations also allows users to converse, collaborate or share a message with anyone within your team without having to leave the dashboard, helping reduce the number of emails that are being sent.
Hootsuite Analytics allows businesses to create custom reports, letting you directly measure the impact and success of your social media campaigns across your social networks, including Twitter, Facebook and Google+. You can choose from over 40 modules, including Facebook Insights, Twitter Growth Stats, Ow.ly Click Stats, Google+ Page stats and Organization Analytics allowing you to keep track of what posts have been sent, assigned and resolved within your teams.
It's kind of hard to find a fault with Hootsuite, and I would go as far to say that this is the best social media management tool available today. I would happily recommend Hootsuite to any business that's looking to communicate with their customers online or monitor what's being said about their brand. It will also allow them to manage all their activities in an organized way, which helps simplify, streamline and enhance the process. With new features being added frequently and an app directory that is constantly growing, you can't go wrong with Hootsuite.

This past weekend, Joey and I went on a road trip to Kansas City , Missouri to visit my brother Bo and awesome sister in law Alx. We barely ever get to see them, and we really wanted to get out of Mississippi to have some fun before Joey's Fall classes start, and he becomes too busy for spontaneous adventuring.
So we took some time off of work, booked Rodney-dog a spot at the kennel, got in the car on Friday morning and spent the whole day driving through farmland and weird little towns.
In Arkansas, we stopped in an interesting little town called Hardy and wandered around while old men on stoops gave us strange looks and shop owners tried to usher us out of their stores. (Apparently everything closes at 4:00 on Fridays in Arkansas, and we got there just after 3:30.) They have pretty good ice cream, a surprising number of quilting stores, and this mural.
We tried to go to Lambert's Cafe in Ozark, MO to have some hot rolls thrown at us, but the wait was incredibly long and we gave up on the idea. Instead, we ate across the street at Grant's Family Restaurant. They had awesome tables which were hand made by one of the servers.
By the time we finally made it to Bo and Alx's apartment in Kansas City, it was around 11 o'clock at night, so we visited for a minute and then passed out.
Saturday morning, we all went to The City Market, and there was a ton of locally grown produce, spices, food and general awesomeness. Bo and Alx are trying to convince us to move to Kansas City, and I must say that the market goes a long way in that arguement. I can just picture us going there every weekend to load up on veggies, and all of us together having big family dinners outside on the patio. While we were there, we had hamburgers and turkey legs that were cooked right in front of us on a massive grill.
Then we went to the Asian market (also a big selling point) and drove around town looking at the different neighborhoods and the house they are trying to buy.
Then later in the day, we went to the Nelson-Atkins museum, which is huge and full of amazing things. We saw all three panels of Monet's Waterlillies on display in all it's massive glory. Then we went shopping and ate noodles. Then that night, Alx's brother and his girlfriend joined us, and we all went to a cute little restaurant to eat and drink and be merry. Then back to the apartment to stay up late watching cartoons and playing video games.
Sunday, we woke up and had coffee with Bo and Alx, talked to Alx's family in Bulgaria over Skype. Watched YouTube videos and hung out. Then we drove to the Kansas side of town to eat at One Bite for lunch. One Bite is an adorable little Japanese place that Alx does graphic design work for. From there we ran some errands, went to an awesome toy store to look at vinyl toys and art prints. Alx made us an awesome dinner and we watched this show called Wilfred. Have you seen it? It's amazing.
Then Monday morning, we left Kansas City bright and early to drive back to our regular lives. We were so sad to leave, b/c we had such an awesome time. We seriously might move there after Joey finishes school. It was so great to visit with family. And I feel so inspired from the trip. It's easy to lose inspiration when you live in a small town without a lot of outside influence. I think this trip is exactly what we needed.

Quito said Wednesday, September 16, 2015, a state of emergency to deal with a wave of forest fires in the vicinity of the Ecuadorian capital, that killed three firefighters, 22 injured and nearly a thousand hectares burned in recent weeks. Mayor Mauricio Rodas "signed the emergency declaration", allowing you to free up financial resources and enlist the help of police and military to fight fires, as noted in a statement the municipal service information. "With this operational capability (...) be strengthened and asked the Armed Forces and the National Police cadets of the support and coordination of actions in the fire control," the message. With 2.3 million inhabitants, Quito and its rural areas have borne the brunt of the wave of fires affecting eight of the 24 provinces of Ecuador. Since the fires began in the capital, in late June, three firefighters have died, 22 were injured and 960 hectares of forest were consumed by flames, he told AFP the municipal secretary of Security, Juan Zapata. Nationwide have burned about 2905 hectares of forest, according to a balance of the authorities released on September 5. Tuesday was one of the most critical to Quito because of the fires that were activated simultaneously days. A thick smoke enveloped several parts of the city center, even flames could be seen behind the buildings. Late at night 50 people were evacuated to a sports arena in northern Quito. Wednesday crews battled five fires around the capital. Strong winds and high temperatures of this time of year hinder the work of firefighters. A group of 142 firefighters came to Quito from other parts of the country to join the work of extinguishing the fire. On Tuesday the government of Rafael Correa requested help from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela to contain the spread of forest fires. Authorities suspect that several emergencies have been caused intentionally or by neglect of people performing burning garbage in the open. The Government also activated a plan rewards of up to USD 50 000 for information on those responsible.

I stumbled upon a recipe on BBC Good Food for Vegan Cannelloni (which you can check out here) which replaced the standard ricotta mixed with spinach for silken tofu. As the Canny Teen loves tofu I decided to give it a try. I found the mix was a bit too dry unfortunately, which meant that pasta didn't really cook as well as it could have in the heat of the oven with the generous coating of homemade tomato sauce.
Not wanting to give up, I found that Tesco had a dairy and egg free White Lasagne Sauce available and decided to give that a go instead. I have a Béchamel Sauce recipe on the blog already, but was looking for something a little thinner in consistency and quicker to help with the assembly. I also avoiding using pine nuts in my version because of allergies.
The results were impressive, and even my meat eating MIL tucked into seconds. I use two 18cm by 24cm baking dishes with the ingredients quoted here, with some leftover cannelloni tubes for my next batch. I used a new vegan cheese we found while in Dublin called Nature et Moi towards the end of the bake to see how it melted, but any dairy-free alternative you are happy with can be sprinkled on for the final flourish. I would normally also mix the cheese with breadcrumbs for a crispy topping, but because some do this naturally I'm wary about doing so now. I hope you enjoy this simple recipe!
Vegan Cannelloni
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 2 x 400g chopped tomatoes
- 400g bag of Spinach
- 1 jar of Tesco (or any brand) Free From White Lasagne Sauce
- Tesco Cannelloni Pasta Tubes (egg free)
- Vegan Cheese to top (if desired)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan, add the onion and 1 clove of garlic and fry until softened. Pour in the tinned tomatoes, season and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cook for around 10 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan and add the remaining garlic clove and then the spinach. Wilt spinach, then squeeze out the excess liquid. I used a sieve for this.
- Mix the spinach with the jar of Lasagne Sauce – there's no need to heat as it will be cooked in the oven. Spoon the contents into the dried pasta tubes and assemble in each baking dish. Repeat until both are lined with the pasta.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/Gas Mark 6.
- Pour over half of the sauce into each dish. If you are using a larger dish than mine adjust the amount according. Cook for 30 minutes, checking to ensure the sauce doesn't dry out.
- Sprinkle over the vegan cheese 10 minutes before serving, along with breadcrumbs (if using). Serve with lots of salad.
Thanks for reading,

Q – Isn't there a ruling that the nurse must observe a patient take a pain pill?
- A – There is no Joint Commission (TJC) requirement that the patient must be observed
while taking the medication. TJC states that under the 2014 accreditation standard MM
06.01.03 hospitals should have a policy for self-administered medications to be safely
and accurately administrated. Under that guideline the patient must receive training and
appropriate information regarding the nature of medication, how to administer the
medication and the expected action and side effect of the medication. In the policy there
should also be a plan as to how to monitor the patient. Patients taking medication from
the MOD® device must also be determined to be competent before being allowed to use
the medication. The MOD® Hospital Sample Policy provided with MOD® support
materials addresses these areas. All patients should complete a simple teaching module
and demonstrate that they are capable of using the device before the device can be left
at the bedside.
Q – How does the MOD® device save nursing time?
- A – A published study at a well-known academic medical center showed that each
manual delivery of oral pain medication took a minimum of 10.9 minutes of nursing labor
time per dose including documentation and reassessment. In a patient unit with frequent
prn oral pain medication dosing, this task can take up to 30% of the shift time. With the
MOD® device, it is estimated that the nursing time will be less than half of that recorded
with the manual delivery of medications. An ongoing study is now determining the time
savings using the wireless MOD® device as compared to the manual delivery of
medications. With this time saved, more nursing time will be freed up for other critical
tasks and patient satisfaction with pain management will increase.
Q – How do you prevent diversion of pain medication when using the MOD® device?
- A – Narcotic control and medication reconciliation is an important part of the nursing and
pharmacy process. In addition to having security features on the device itself, the
workflow process using a MOD® device has several checkpoints required to aid in
preventing diversion. The following steps of the MOD® device process require a dual RN
signature within the device program as part of the programming software:
Programming the device and loading the pill tray
Wasting medication at the time of discharge
Order change in medication (new medication or dose change)
Order change in a time interval between doses
Replacing an empty tray of medication
The nurse identifier that programs the device and the second sign-in nurse identifier are
recorded in the device database for review at any time. The Avancen White Paper
entitled "The MOD® Experience after 1,000 Patients" highlights current users' findings
and can be found on the home page of www.avancen.com. To date no staff or patient
diversion of medications from the device have been reported as noted in the White
Q – Do we need a special IV pole for the MOD® device?
- A – No. The MOD® device and its IV pole clamp may be locked to any IV pole in the
facility and moved to the patient bedside for easy reach and access by the patient.
Q – Is the MOD® device locked onto the IV pole?
- A – Yes, the MOD® device clamp has a unique locking mechanism. The device is locked
onto its steel tray support and the attached IV pole clamp is locked onto the IV pole. A
proprietary tool is required to lock and unlock the MOD® device from the IV pole. The
tool (wrench) is supplied with each MOD® device and should be stored in a safe, secure
Q – Where do I get a filled MOD® tray to place into the device as part of the initial
patient programming step?
- A – Medication trays for use in the device are prepared in the central pharmacy and
placed for storage into the automated dispensing cabinet on the unit. Trays are not
usually patient specific – only medication specific, e.g., a tray will be labeled with the
name of the medication, dose, and lot number and any other identifiers applied by
Q – Will the trays be barcoded?
- A – Yes. Your central pharmacy may affix a barcode label to each medication tray. The
nursing staff will scan the medication trays during the validation process, which will
match the medication to the specific patient. The barcode will signal that you are
verifying a multidose tray of medication containing eight identical pills in the filled tray.
This step is identical to barcode validation of a multidose syringe or pre-filled medication
IV bag that will be loaded into an IV-PCA pump.
Q – What do we do about our usual orders, since the physician usually writes for 1-2
tabs q 4 hours?
- A – Orders that provide one or two tabs cannot be used with the MOD® device as each
slot in the medication tray contains only one dose of medication. In order to achieve the
ability of the patient to receive up to two doses within four hours we recommend that the
lockout interval be set at two hours on the MOD® device. See on the Avancen website
under Resources/Healthcare Professionals the white paper which discusses this topic,
entitled "A Better Way to Deliver Oral PRN Pain Medication in Today's Hospitals."
Allowing a patient a dose every two hours is equivalent to two doses every four hours if
needed. The medication is dispensed by time and not by pain score although the device
captures that score with each patient request for medication. If additional clinician doses
are needed at any time to provide adequate pain control, this option is available within
the MOD® program so that all doses of medication are delivered and recorded from the
device itself.
Q – If a patient records a pain number of 0 or 1, will they be able to get a dose of
medication when the green ready light comes on?
- A – Yes. The pain scale number that is entered is for documentation only. It does not
make a decision regarding the dose of medication. Patients are educated regarding this
fact and a zero or one score is very rare because of this. The same dose will be
dispensed regardless of the pain scale. This allows the patient to self-regulate and
obtain the dose when they need the pain medication. Entered pain scores are available
to monitor overall how well the patient's pain is being controlled not only from the
medications from the device but from all the medications and procedures ongoing for
patient pain control.
Q – Does the MOD® device record how many attempts have been made to remove a
dose of medication from the device? This is recorded in some IV PCA devices.
- A –The MOD® device does not have this function. Patients learn very quickly that if the
bright green ready light is not on, then it is futile to try to obtain a dose of medication
from the device.
Q – How does the device capture a pain reassessment score after each selfadministered
dose of medication?
- A – One hour after each self-administered dose, an audible reminder asks the patient to
"enter your pain score now." The patient is instructed that this is only to better
understand if the pain medication is adequately managing their pain. If they do not
respond to the reminder, it repeats intermittently for 20 minutes or until a pain number is
entered. If the patient does not reassess his/her pain within that time frame, the audible
reminder will stop and it will be the clinician's responsibility to obtain the reassessment
score, when/as applicable.
Q – How do we clean the MOD® device between different patient uses?
- A – FDA standards require that medical devices be evaluated for proper cleaning
procedures as designated in the Association for the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation document AAMI TIR 12:2004. The MOD® has been formally reviewed by
North American Science Associates, Inc. (NAMSA), for cleaning requirements. The
MOD® has been judged to be a reusable device with a disposable clean tray of
medications supplied for each patient. Because the tray is disposable, the risk of cross
contamination is minimized. Therefore, the MOD® can be cleaned using a simple wipedown
of all the exposed surfaces between patients or when soilage occurs. A low level
disinfectant is acceptable. A detailed cleaning protocol is available as part of the MOD®
Device User Manual provided with each purchased unit, or as a separate document from
Q – Does a bell ring to remind the patient when they are able to get a pill out of the
MOD® device?
- A – No. However, any time the patient sees the bright green ready light, the appropriate
time has passed and the patient is allowed access to get their pain medication. The
visual queue (green light) is easily recognizable by all patients, especially those who are
hearing impaired. If the patient does not need medication when the green light comes
on, the device will stand ready until the patient requests and obtains a dose of
medication. Once a dose is obtained, the green light will not illuminate again until the
lockout interval has passed.
Q – How does the memory keep up with the time of the drug administration since
there is no clock to set on the MOD® device?
- A –The MOD® device obtains the correct time from the computer platform or network
that is used for the MOD® device programming, similar to most medical devices that
have programming ability and database capture.
Q – Can the data from the wireless MOD® device be integrated into the electronic
medical record (EMR)?
- A –Since there is no standard hospital EMR, different hospitals use different EMR
systems, so this is done on an institution-by-institution basis. The wireless MOD® device
can be used alone before EMR integration takes place. Even without EMR integration,
the MOD® device still provides a detailed database of each patient's medication use from
the device including a graphic pain scale chart which reflects all the patient pain scores
at the time of medication administration and the reassessment pain scores patients are
reminded to enter usually one hour after self-administration of a medication. MOD®
device data is stored in an MS Sequel database, and relevant MOD® device data can be
integrated into an EMR system using open platform tools or interface engines used by all
EMR providers to integrate devices.
Q – Why is the wristband a security feature of the device?
- A – The programmed RFID wristband only recognizes the device to which it was
programmed; it is the only wristband that will activate the device for that particular
patient. Therefore, two people in the same room or unit cannot access another person's
device with their wristband. Only their device will respond to their wristband.
Q – What if a patient is discharged before all the medication in the MOD® device's tray
is used?
- A – If this occurs the medication is disposed of according to the hospital policy for the
disposal of controlled substances. The facility pharmacy dictates how that procedure is
accomplished and as part of each facility's medication reconciliation policy.
Q – What are the advantages of the device from a nursing standpoint?
- A – The device is a tool to improve nursing workflow efficiency by reducing the time and
number of trips necessary to deliver prn pain medication. With the MOD® device, instead
of the patient waiting on the busy nurse to deliver the medication, the medication is
available at the bedside and waiting on the patient to dispense when they need it
according to the scheduled lockout intervals. In no way is the device use intended to
replace nursing staff. It is a technology to free up time so nursing can spend more time
providing quality bedside patient care.
Q – What if a patient drops a pill or loses a pill while using the MOD® device?
- A – The MOD® device is ergonomically designed to make removing a pill from the pill well
easy to do. When the dispenser wheel turns to expose a dose of medication for selfadministration,
the pill is available for removal for 45 seconds, a sufficiently long period of
time so that the patient does not need to rush with removing the medication. However,
there is always the chance that a patient will drop or lose a dose of medication. Should this
occur, follow your hospital guidelines for dropped/lost pills. If you have any doubt the
patient who has dropped or lost the pill is not a good candidate for the device, remove the
device from that patient's room, discharge the patient from the device, and return to
manual delivery.
