JADAK to Acquire ThingMagic RFID
SYRACUSE, N.Y. January 5, 2017 — JADAK LLC, a global leader and supplier of Radio-frequency Identification (RFID), optical data collection and machine vision technologies, today announced that it has acquired the assets of ThingMagic (formerly a Division of Trimble). ThingMagic, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, provides Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID Reader Modules and Finished RFID Solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for a wide range of applications, including in the medical, retail, logistics, and airline industries.
RFID technology has emerged over the last decade as an efficient means of detecting and tracking retail products, medical consumables, airline baggage and many other types of tangible goods. RFID can be used as an alternative to barcode technology in applications where line of sight to the object being tracked is not available or desired, or when data stored on the object requires modification by the reader. ThingMagic has one of the industry's widest arrays of UHF RFID products, complementing JADAK's existing High Frequency (HF) RFID product line.
This marks JADAK's second acquisition in the RFID market. In late 2015, JADAK acquired SkyeTek, a Denver, CO based provider of embedded and standalone HF & UHF RFID solutions for OEM suppliers.
"Combining ThingMagic's products and services with the JADAK offerings enables us to provide our customers with enhanced UHF and desktop reader products, while adding a line of finished reader products," said Janie Goddard, President of JADAK. "JADAK is committed to providing our healthcare equipment manufacturer customers with market leadership, advanced technology and products, and engineering expertise in the embedded RFID and finished reader markets. Together we will continue to innovate and deliver industry-leading RFID solutions for our customers. With the combination of Skyetek HF products and ThingMagic UHF products, JADAK has the broadest range of RFID products in the market," said Goddard.
"RFID is a growing market, and this acquisition accelerates JADAK's growth and market share within the industrial, retail and healthcare markets. In particular, it enables JADAK to provide OEM customers in the medical-technical industry with products that will further enhance their ability to deliver improvement around anti-counterfeiting, tracking of consumables, and protecting their revenue streams," said Jeffrey Pine, Vice President of Business Development at JADAK.

How to enable option to override guest user's role when sponsor confirms the account in Clearpass 6.4.x
Sponsored self-registration is way of allowing guests to self-register and not give them full access until a sponsor approves the account. When registration form is submitted, the guest account will be created with default expiration, role and in disabled state. The registration receipt page will display a message stating the account requires approval and the login button is disabled. An email is sent to sponsor with a link to Clearpass server, which displays summary of the user as well as Confirm and Reject buttons. Upon confirmation, the guest will have full access. Upon rejection, the account is immediately deleted.
Environment :
Clearpass configured with guest self registration to allow guests to authenticate to guest network.
-From Guest->Configuration->Pages->Guest Self-Registrations-> Self-Registration page -> Sponsor Confirmation, enable the option "Require sponsor confirmation prior to enabling the account".
From Account overrides section, select role override option to a fixed role or to prompt for sponsor to select a role.
From Account overrides section, select role override option to a fixed role or to prompt for sponsor to select a role.
Select the "Account State" option appropriately to define whether to automatically enable the account prior sponsor confirmation or create guest account in disabled state.
Overriding Guest Account role in 6.4.x:

Take My Life and Let it Be
In reading a friend's e-mail, I was reminded of a sweet hymn, by Frances R. Havergal. Although I've sung it many times, I don't think I've meditated on the words much:
Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise…
Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.
It's all yours, Lord, all yours.

If you're a big board game player, and you'd like to be on the beta in the coming weeks, DM us your email! 💌
Every good book must come to an end. Unfortunately, for Quotebook that was the deprecation of our syncing technology, iCloud Core Data.
We wrote more about the decision here: https://blog.lickability.com/the-end-of-quotebook-9e19b5653cc9
🤑 Amazing! And we have just the team to build it.
Find out more about how we approach building apps for clients on our website and contact us here when you're ready: https://lickability.com/contact.
It's an idea we learned from friends at Apple: pick a directly responsible individual. 🙋♀
Collaboration on creative projects is crucial, but without one dedicated person to drive things forward, great ideas can languish.
It's been a privilege. Our partners at @firstname.lastname@example.com, @email@example.com, and our former teammates at @email@example.com helped us learn so much about how great journalism and storytelling can add texture & nuance to readers' understanding of the world. More to come. 📰

Our goal is to stay small and focus on quality. I hope we'll have grown the team, shipped more apps we're proud of, and stayed up to date on the latest tech. But most of all, that we'll still treat our customers and employees with respect and care. ❤
Every. Single. Day. I've got it down to a science. 🥵
FYI: the name comes from a 2001 quote about the buttons in Mac OS X. See if you can track it down.
Our first big client was @email@example.com in 2015 which we landed through a previous working relationship.
Nowadays, clients come from lots of places, but a majority of our business is still trusted referrals from folks that know the quality of our work. 🤝
🤩 Coolest part: Getting to play with and influence the design of apps that millions of people will use before they're released.
😒 Most tedious: Protracted contract negotiations.
📈 Highest highs: Launching the first versions of @email@example.com, @firstname.lastname@example.com, and @firstname.lastname@example.com, every hire's first day, and our new office.
📉 Lowest lows: Shuttering Quotebook, facing feelings of burnout, & building apps that never shipped.

Dating as a Single Parent
Dating as a Single Parent
We got an email from a listener who has 2 kids, works a lot, and doesn't have much time for the "drama" of dating. Simon and Angi will give him some advice tonight on The Rendezvous. Angi used to be a single parent herself, so she'll tell us what it was like for her.
It can be hard to date when you're a single parent. It's time consuming and when you have kids to take care of and a job to go to, it may seem like too much hassle to even try. Check out this article for some great tips on getting back into the dating game when you have kids!

Starting a Garden - Step 1comments (4) November 17th, 2009
I am currently converting a section of my back yard to a new garden area. I thought to myself, "Self...this is a great time to go through the steps I have taken to realize a new garden - from planning to preparation to execution."
For many of you, this will be a refresher, and there are certainly plenty of sources in print and online on the subject.
That said, I will compose this series of steps as more of an undated diary that happens to educate as well. Onward my dirty-nailed friends...
When planning where I wanted to put my soon-to-be garden, I immediately thought of two things - sunlight and water. The location had to be reasonably close to a water supply, but more importantly had to have a "full day's supply" of sunlight. We're talking most of a day here.
So there it went, right in the middle of the yard. I hope to convert most of my lawn to gardens in the back yard. My future inspiration of course - Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid.

• Video Series: How to Start a Vegetable Garden
For those who want to have a garden but aren't in a hurry, I feel this is the way to go. Now is the perfect time to do this! Especially if you live up north and your growing season is already over for the year.
I'll give the grass a few weeks (or more) to die off. Then it's off to Step 2, preparing the soil area that will surround the raised bed(s). Stay tuned.

By Spring, we'll get an early start with the soil already tilled, while the amendments of grass, manure and leaves will have organically enriched and improved the texture of our clay soil.

JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon spoke at the Council on Foreign Relations today covering a variety of subjects including the U.S. economy, the fiscal cliff and the euro zone crisis.
Here's what he had to say about the financial crisis in the U.S.:
"The American public feels like there was like no Old Testament justice.
"What they saw--banks bailed out and all these people make all that money and including the banks that failed make all that money. There is some truth to that. I can't make up for what other boards did and didn't do. There is truth to that.
"There are people who destroyed their companies, virtually brought the United States down to its knees and walked away with $50 million. Pisses me off, too."

About Kyvalley
First settled in 1873 by selectors, Kyvalley is a small rural district west of Kyabram. The Tatura to Echuca train line opened in 1887 and passed through the district. The town grew rapidly in the early 1900s, with a tennis club, Presbyterian Church and a hall being built. These were later followed by a pool, which still serves the district's more than 320 residents.
Once famous for its orchards, Kyvalley is now mainly a dairying district with only a few orchards remaining.

The upside to Web-based applications is that, generally, they can be used anywhere a user can get Internet access and a reasonably modern Web browser: most of the time, documents, data, and the application itself are available via the Internet, so users don't have to deal with carting around a computer, finding their files, and configuring software. The downside, of course, is that without decent Internet access, Web-based application are well-neigh useless.
With that in mind, Google had announced Google Gears, a new open source technology which aims to enable Web-based applications to work even when users don't have access to the Internet, or when their Internet connection flaky or slow.
"With Google Gears we're tackling a key limitation of the browser in order to make it a stronger platform for deploying all types of applications and enabling a better user experience in the cloud," said Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "We believe strongly in the power of the community to stretch this new technology to the limits of what's possible and ultimately emerge with an open standard that benefits everyone."
Although offline capabilities will be more practical for some applications than others, the technology may be a significant benefit to Google's Web-based Docs & Spreadsheets applications, which are beginning to compete with the venerable Microsoft Office in the basic productivity arena. And as a free, open source project, the technology may find adopters elsewhere in the industry: Adobe, Opera, and Mozilla are already expressing support. "This announcement is a significant step forward for web applications," said Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich. "We're pleased to see Google working with open source and open standards bodies on offline Web applications."
The beta of Google Gears is available for Winodws, Mac OS X, and Linux systems, and requires Firefox 1.5 or newer, or Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer.

We just sent our first born off to college (sniff sniff)! Her senior year was very emotional for me, and it flew by! May and June were a blur of activities, awards, banquets and celebrations. I wanted to share a few of the projects that I put together for her graduation party. It was an open house of friends and family and was a truly special day to celebrate.
Table Decor:
I wanted something simple yet meaningful. I took jars that I had in my basement, tinted them blue (school colors) with decoupage and cake gel medium, added Scripture word art that I downloaded from the internet, added fresh flowers and viola!!
I made a dozen! I was so pleased with how they turned out!
I mixed up about a cup of Mod Podge and added about a half teaspoon of the Wilton color gel. If you want a darker color, add more gel.
I painted the inside of the jars using a foam brush. Painting the inside of the jar allowed me to keep create the look of blue glass vs. painted glass.
It goes on milky....
As it dries, it gets clear. The heavier you are with the mixture, the darker color. If you want a more subtle color change, use less gel. I sped up the drying process by using my heat gun. (Warning, the jars get hot if you do this, so hold the jars with potholders! I figured this out pretty quick!)
I decoupaged the verse on the outside, added some ribbon and a tag. The tag looked plain so I cut out some graduation hats on my cricut. It was just what it needed!
I hit up the grocery store, bought a bunch of flowers and ended up with some lovely customized centerpieces. The best part is that they are reusable and I have two more daughters that will be graduating high school.
I scrapbook so I wanted to utilize photos in any way possible for the party. Here are a few of the photo projects!
I picked up some banner templates at Hobby Lobby which were 50% off!! I used one set to showcase pictures of Emily and the friends, family and activities that shaped her life.
This was my favorite! I put her school pictures from Kindergarten through
Junior year on this banner!
I saw this idea on Pinterest and LOVED it!! I loved it so much I made two! Simple and easy to put together. Just use a wreath frame, mount your pictures on black card stock and arrange on the frame. The graduation hat is a 7 inch square with a raised button in the middle to hold the tassel. Again, I fired up the cricut to make the letters, but you could use stickers too!
We had approximately 100 people, and we were on a budget. One of our favorite meals is tacos so we had a taco/nacho bar which was easy to prepare ahead of time, keep stocked during the party and allowed me to enjoy the fun! (Sorry I don't have great pictures, I forgot to take pictures of the food table!)
Our graduate!!
Our garage buffet! It rained so much the day of the party, but having the food in the garage worked out great! I kept the taco meat, chicken and nacho cheese warm in crock pots.
We wanted to do something fun for dessert so we had a cookie bar!
I did a lot of baking the days before the party, and stored the cookies in the freezer to keep them fresh and from being eaten!
It was a great day and we were so blessed to have so many friends and family celebrate with us.

THE AGBADA: The free flowing, loose fitting, Yoruba attire. A voluminous,ceremonial robe, known to be worn back in the day by Kings, highly placed chiefs, the rich and affluent generally. Would you be surprised to know that it isn't originally a Yoruba attire? Well it actually originates from the Middle East.
During the trans-saharan trade that precedes the pre-Christian era which lasted till the late nineteenth century, the Arab merchants of the Mediterranean coast, introduced the Riga as it is called, their version of the agbada, to Africa. The Riga, when worn with a turban, identifies the wearer as an Arab or a Muslim. It was a symbol of wealth and prominence and purely for the rich because of its expensive, handwoven fabrics and elaborately designed embroidery.
Though it isn't known when exactly it was introduced to West Africa, it however became a "hit" if we can call it that, and was adopted by most cultures in the sub-Saharan Africa. It still remained for the elite and the affluent but was then modified by the different cultures to reflect their traditional aesthetics, switching the turban for various head gears indigenous to them.
The Yoruba adaptation of the riga is what is known today as "Agbada." The earlier versions were different from what its is now. They were made with hand woven cloth and embroidery that usually took weeks to finish, there by making it expensive and beyond the reach of the average Yoruba man. The amount of embroidery on each attire usually depends on how much the patron was willing to part with.
The Agbada has come a long way from its days as an attire for the Middle Eastern,opulent merchants, and has undergone a lot of transformations. It is still pretty much a free-flowing attire, but there are more compact versions now. With the compact variation, the awosoke as the free flowing robe is called by the Yorubas, comes in shorter sleeves than usual, so does the awotele,the undergarment.
There is also a version where the awotele comes in long sleeves, while the awosoke comes with much shorter sleeves than the normal Agbada,giving it an entirely different look.
The elaborate embroidery is still a key part of the whole ensemble, but has been modernized and is practically optional now. The material used has gone from being hand woven to almost any type of fabric. It has even recently morphed from its days as an attire strictly for the very masculine, African man of influence,to a cross gender attire. Women can now be seen wearing it, looking feminine and glamorous.
In all its transformation and modification, the Agbada never lost one key element that always went with it, and that is the fact that it is a ceremonial attire that leaves a hole in your pocket(depending on your pocket size though) when you order one, so it still maintains that illusion that the wearer is a person of influence. So when an #AgbadaGang shows up at an event, it almost always is a spectacle," dem don show","the men dem"…

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Capturing its 11th Ivy League title and fourth over the last six years, Harvard women's soccer bested Dartmouth, 2-1, Saturday afternoon at Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium on Senior Day. Fittingly, senior co-captain Peyton Johnson recorded the game-winning goal for the Crimson.
The Crimson (11-3-2, 6-0) remains unbeaten over the last 13 games, dating back to Sept. 11. The 13-match unbeaten streak matches the longest since 1999 (9/18-11/6, 13 games). Harvard punches its ticket to the NCAA Championship, its 13th appearance in program history. The Crimson will find out its fate when the NCAA selection show airs on Nov. 11 at 4:30 p.m.
Seniors Kristina Garrido, Johnson, Elizabeth Weisman and Jessica Wright were honored before the game. It marks the second Ivy League championship for the senior class (2011).
Freshman Midge Purce started the scoring in the 20th minute, driving down the middle of the field and beating two Dartmouth defenders. The rookie pulled up inside the box, rocketing a shot into the top right of the net for the 1-0 advantage. It marked Purce's 11th goal of the season.
Johnson added the insurance goal 15 minutes later. Purce flicked the ball over a defender on the run to Johnson. The Catonsville, Md., native one-touched the pass, driving the shot into the top left of the goal for her first score of the season.
Dartmouth (7-6-3, 3-3) pulled within one with 25:45 to play, as Kelly Brait connected on a corner kick sent in by Corey Delaney.
Junior Cheta Emba and freshman Lizzie Durack split time in between the pipes, grabbing a combined four saves.
Harvard will play a final league match at Columbia Saturday, Nov. 9. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.

I've talked about it before here: Email is still one of the most effective social sales tools you have available. While you need to continue to build your brand on social networks, your email communication has the potential to bring you a greater return, say many experts.
The trick, of course, is to get your prospects and customers to keep their fingers off the delete key when they see your company name as the email originator.
Think about your own reaction to email subject lines and senders. What makes you open some and not others? Here are some of the approaches that make me at least pause before deleting sales messages:
So how do you set yourself apart from the onslaught of emails that greet most people most days? Here are some suggestions:
Of course, you still have a challenging task ahead of you in composing the emails themselves. In a way, though, crafting intriguing subject lines is the hardest part. It's the online equivalent of getting someone to take your phone call or not say "Just browsing…" when you offer to help. There are a thousand ways to direct that ensuing conversation, but you get one shot with your email subject line. Make it count.

There's one phrase you should never say when you are desperately trying to save your marriage.
I know what you're thinking.
"Yeah, right."
Let me preface it with this: I never said that this phrase contains the magic words that you need to save your marriage. I never said that not saying these words would stop a divorce from happening.
But I will say by not saying this phrase, you will put yourself leaps and bounds ahead of where you are now in trying to fix your marriage.
How It All Started
I was lying in bed last night, unable to sleep, thinking about all the people I interacted with that day on our private Save My Marriage Facebook group and through the massive amount of emails of people pouring out their heart about what they are going through in their marriage. As I usually do, I sit there thinking, "How can we help more people?"
Yesterday, I had also been reading an article by a successful businessman on his interaction with aspiring entrepreneurs he meets. The article was titled, "I'm not the kind of person who can…" Fill in the blank. He expounded on how the majority of people he meets want so desperately to start their own businesses, but they seem to constantly explain how "they aren't the kind of person that can _____" or they "can't do XYZ."
This all ties in, I promise.
So as I was lying in bed, the two of these moments in my day melded together, and it hit me.
So many times I hear or see people say:
- I can't set boundaries with my husband. It would make him mad.
- I can't get my wife to seek marriage help. There's no way she would come, why even ask.
- I can't get a hold of my emotions. My world is falling down around me, and I'm terrified.
- I can't lose/gain weight to be a healthy size again.
- I can't… fill in the blank. The list goes on.
The Phrase that Kills Your Self-Esteem
I can't.
Here's the thing: All of those things in the bullet point list above are extremely hard to do.
Yes, it is absolutely gut-wrenching to know that your husband's anger is out of control, and he has made your home an emotionally abusive place. He threatened divorce 3 times, and you had set a boundary that if he did it once more, you were leaving for a week as a consequence to the unacceptable behavior. Packing your bags and walking out of the house calmly in the midst of his yelling, wondering if you'll ever actually be coming back, is hard.
Yes, it is heart breaking when your wife is so much in love with another man that she wants nothing to do with you anymore. She has walked out on you, your children, and even the dog. She doesn't seem to care at all about who she hurts or what she does because she has "never been in love like this before" (and she absolutely can't stand you anymore). You really don't want to approach her and ask her to seek marriage help with you anymore because, honestly, you don't want to hurt anymore than you are hurting now. That's hard.
Yes, it is the worst kind of emotional roller-coaster when the person that you loved, that you vowed to spend every day for the rest of your life with, begins to waiver in the marriage commitment. Living in the same house is loveless, lifeless, and hopeless. Every interaction reminds you that things are not the way they once were, and the fear of living like this for the rest of your life is enough to send you into a 24/7 panic attack. Trying to control your emotions when there's a tornado of fear, doubt, and shame spinning around you is hard.
Yes, the last thing you want to think about right now is your weight. The stress and anxiety has either packed the pounds on or dwindled you down to bare bones. You know that the one thing you should be able to control right now is yourself, but that constant reminder of the scale that you still aren't good enough is a thought you don't even want to come close to right now. Just getting up and picking out clothes for the day is hard.
It's all hard.
Every minute of every day is uncharted territory that is terrifying and overwhelming, and facing it is extremely hard.
So…we don't.
We don't want to think about it. We don't want to do it. We don't want to hurt even more than we are hurting right now.
"I can't."
That is how we overcome the doubt, the fear, the shame. We tell ourselves the lie that we can't do it.
Because if we lie to ourselves and begin to believe that we can't do it, then we won't do it. And we won't feel bad about not doing it, because we can't. It's impossible.
That's what it means to say you can't do something. You are telling yourself that the act of doing whatever the particular thing is, would literally be impossible to do.
And honestly, the majority of the time, it's not true.
It's not that you can't do it – you can do it.
You are choosing not to for whatever reason.
Fear of failing.
Fear of hurting.
Fear of rejection.
By telling yourself that you can't do something, fear wins.
And nobody wants fear to win…
So what can you do?
First of all – take a deep breath.
Understand that you are not alone in what you are going through. We have an extremely positive and encouraging group of people in a private Facebook group called Save My Marriage.
Second, remove the word 'can't' from your vocabulary.
Take note of all the times throughout the day when you tell yourself (or someone else) that you can't do something. Most of the time, you actually can do it, but choose not to. When it comes to the things you need to do to try and save your marriage, stop telling yourself that you can't do it. Tell yourself you CAN do it … but there's a second part of that which is vitally important.
Third, and most importantly, do this.
Instead of saying, "I can't do that", ask yourself, "How can I do that?"
Saying you can't do something leaves you powerless.
Asking yourself, "Okay, how CAN I make that happen?" gives you back the power and control that you need in order to revitalize your self-esteem.
So, for example:
- How can I set boundaries with my husband in a way to make him least angry?
- How can I best ask my spouse to seek marriage help with me (like the Marriage Helper 911 workshop)?
- How can I regain control of my emotions on a daily basis so that I can be strong in front of my spouse?
- How can I start to be in the best physical shape I can be?
Remember, no one is asking you to do everything at one time. You can't lose 20 pounds in a day (or even a month). Literally. You physically can't (at least not in a healthy and sustainable manner). Know that some of these things take time, but asking yourself, "how CAN I?" allows you to make a plan that will work moving forward.
But most importantly, you can realize the strength that you had deep inside all along.

It has been…a time around here. We have been flying. We have been hopping. I have been skating.
In other words, the Torok's have been extremely busy.
My house looks like life threw up all over. My car should and probably would be condemned if the authorities new about how much happy meal carnage lived under those seats. GAK! Even the office is left in an organized pile up from new inventory that was integrated into our stock by Lunch with a Purpose volunteers. (LOVE)
My purse is pretty well organized though. I just switched to a new one for spring. I kind of love it.
This has me pondering my Lenten goals of finding, choosing and guarding my peace. With the life we lead swirling around me, I am not going to be able to report to you peace like a river in my home. There is clamor. There are toddlers emptying out the fridge while I pick out his clothes for the day. (shameless plug for next weeks Wordless Wednesday)
Our life is not easy to make peaceful.
Personally, I have done better establishing my own boundaries but I have a feeling that *sigh* I will be working on this forever. Like forever and ever.
What's new right?
I have been more thankful than ever lately that life is a journey because I need all the time I can get.

They're everywhere you look—credit card applications making promises of reduced prices, extra points, and savings galore. While responsible credit management is a good idea (just ask Jason Hartman), credit cards are often confusing. More, your credit score can be confusing, which often prevents people from checking up on it.
In addition to notifying you of potential problems, your credit score serves as an indicator of your credit health and debt to income ratio. But what is a healthy credit score? What score is required to be approved for a new credit card? If you've got a credit score of 780 or above, you'll have no trouble with anything. Congrats, you've got a great score! If your score is around 700, you'll likely be approved for most things. If it is 650, you're average and may be denied, and if you're sitting around 500, obtaining another credit card may be difficult for you.
To obtain a high credit rating, make timely payments for five or ten years on your credit cards, student loans, and mortgage. This credit rating might take awhile to achieve, as it requires time. To have a good score, use your credit card (and pay it off) for a few years. If you're falling into the average or low category, it's probably because you've missed a few payments or have been sent to collections or foreclosure.
Even with good credit, there is a chance you will be denied for a credit card. This might happen because you have too much debt—high, unpaid balances on existing cards. It might also be the result of too much credit already available to you or a short credit history. Recent late payments may also prevent you from being approved. Similarly, a low score doesn't necessarily mean you won't get approved for any cards—different banks and companies have different rules, and they'll often work with you to find a card that best meets both of your needs.
Make sure that you know your credit score and check your credit report before applying for new lines of credit, and be knowledgeable about when to apply for cards to increase your chances of approval. If you have questions about how to increase your credit score, don't hesitate to talk to a qualified financial advisor who will be able to go over the specifics of your financial situation and best advise you.

Combating racism in healthcare
Nurse managers and their staff often face racism in the work place. In 2013, Minority Nurse reported that almost half of minority nurses said they experienced barriers in their career because of their race and educational background. In addition to institutional barriers, there is also the problem of patient racism, where patients refuse care based on the race or ethnicity of the provider. As a nurse, you might be put in the unenviable position of deciding how to handle one of these situations. Do you refuse care to the patient? Do you acquiesce to the patient's unreasonable demand?
A Cautionary Tale
Plainfield Healthcare Center was faced with a similar dilemma, when some residents of the facility refused care from nonwhite staff members. The center had a policy of honoring such racial preferences, citing the patient's right to select their providers.
For Brenda Chaney, a CNA at Plainfield Healthcare Center, this caused issues with both her workplace experience and patient safety. Patients verbalized their preference on a regular basis, causing distress and a hostile work environment for Chaney. Additionally, the policy created safety risks for the patients; Chaney shared one such situation: after finding that a patient fell and couldn't get up, instead of assisting the patient herself, she had to hunt for nonblack staff members to help the resident return to her bed.
Chaney responded to a call one morning from a resident who was struggling to get out of bed. The patient refused her help, and when she eventually helped another staff member with the patient, the staff member reported that Chaney used profanity when helping the patient. After investigating the complaint, they found no evidence to substantiate the complaint, and the resident's roommate heard no profanity during the incident. Despite this, Chaney was still terminated.
After her termination, Chaney filed a lawsuit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, where she alleged that Plainfield Healthcare Center's adherence to resident's racial bias was illegal and contributed to a hostile work environment. The suit was supported by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. After an appeals process, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Chaney and found the practice of allowing patients to refuse care based on race in violation of Title VII. Both parties eventually settled the case, with Chaney receiving $150,000 settlement.
Preventative Measures
The New England Journal of Medicine published an article that provides some useful information about how to handle patient racism. The authors point out that there are a number of concerns to take into account, both legally and ethically. The situation pits a number of rights and laws against each other, including the patient's right to refuse medical care, laws that require hospitals to provide medical care in emergency situations, and employment rights that dictate that hospitals cannot make staff decisions based on race. Nurses that have been reassigned based on a patient's racial demands have successfully sued their employers, but if a patient doesn't receive proper medical attention in a timely manner, facilities are equally liable.
The journal lays out five factors to consider when faced with this difficult situation:
- The patient's medical condition: If the patient is unstable, treat the patient right away, regardless of the patient's preference. It is possible that their current condition is impairing their mental faculties.
- The patient's decision-making capacity: Try to assess if the patient is capable of making decisions for themselves; psychosis or dementia are important factors to consider. If the patient lacks decision-making capacity, try to persuade the patient to reconsider their request.
- Reasons for the request: If there are clinical or ethnically appropriate reasons for reassigning staff, that should be taken into consideration. For example, if there are language barriers or religious concerns, it might be reasonable to accommodate the patient.
- Effect on the provider: Always take into account the effect a decision might have on the employee. "For many minority health care workers, expressions of patients' racial preferences are painful and degrading indignities, which cumulatively contribute to moral distress and burnout," according to the article. Always try to support staff when possible, and discuss their preferences when deciding how to respond.
- Options for responding: In some situations, staffing might dictate your decision. If the department is understaffed and you cannot provide proper coverage by reassigning, try to persuade the patient.
If faced with a non-emergency situation and a patient is deemed capable of making decisions, the article suggests that it may be best to suggest that the patient seek care elsewhere; though that also has its risks depending on the availability of other treatment.
For more information on this difficult issue, including a useful decision-making tool, read the New England Journal of Medicine's full article.

Today I want to talk to you about two products from NYX that I almost unconsciously picked up just as I saw that the sun was coming out again. It's probably because they are particularly appropriate for this time of year.
I find both their colour and formula to be perfect for spring, sunny days and to roam around chirping birds in a romantic manner (spring makes me terribly cheesy apparently :P)
The first one is the NYX blush in Pinched. It's a gorgeous peachy pink with a hint of golden shimmer running through it.
I find that it has the perfect pigmentation as it's not so sheer that you have to build it up but it's not so pigmented that you have to be overly careful when applying it either.
It gives a very natural flush of colour to my cheeks (therefore works very well for fair skin and I think that it'd work on pretty much any skin tone) with just that hint of shimmer that helps to give a healthy glow (nothing too cray-cray !)
It has been compared to Nars Orgasm but I find that Pinched is a lot less shimmery and more pink than Orgasm.
The other product I want to talk about is the NYX Butter Gloss in Vanilla Cream Pie. It is a baby pink but it isn't so opaque that it washes you out. I guess you could say that it is a pinky nude.
I like to wear it because it feels very moisturizing and it is a good thing as my lips are still feeling the remnants of winter. It gives a sheer wash of colour and a hint of glossiness with a very comfortable formula that isn't sticky at all.
It's a winner in my book.
I like to combine these two products with a flawless (ish) skin and simple eye makeup to give a fresh romantic look that makes me feel very spring appropriate.
Have you tried these ? What products did you dig out of your drawers for spring ?

Citrine is a member of the biggest gemstone family – Quartz. It enjoys a status of widely used yellow stone in modern jewelry. However, do you know it was highly popular during the Art deco movement, and that it was called the 'Merchant's Stone' by ancient traders? You would also be amazed to know that most of the treated citrine in the market is actually amethyst.
Citrine has a beautiful and glamorous history, some surprising mystical powers and splendid charm, making this gem a curious topic to discover.
Citrine Structure
• This yellow quartz is often found in igneous and metamorphic rocks as gauge minerals in mineral veins. It is mostly found with its purple cousin, amethyst but is rarer than the latter. In fact, many a times, amethyst on overheating turns into citrine. This is the most common way to get citrine these days.
• Citrine also resists weathering, and can be extracted from alluvial soil or gravels.
• Rio Grande do sol state in southern Brazil is the largest supplier of the stone. In olden days when citrine was confused with topaz, it was usually called Brazilian Topaz due to the availability of the gem in this region.
• It is also found in Colorado, North Carolina and California in the U.S., along with a worldwide availability in regions like Spain, Africa, France, Britain, Madagascar and the Soviet Union.
• As quartz is colorless and transparent in its pure form, all the colored quartz including citrine is the results of chemical impurities.
• Citrine's yellow color is a result of iron impurities during the crystal formation.
Citrine Properties
• The color of citrine ranges from pastel lemon yellow to intense reddish brown and bright amber. Golden or fiery yellow-orange is the most desirable color. Madeira citrine with deep brandy color and Palmeira citrine with perfect orange-amber color are some expensive varieties of the gem.
• The best faceted citrines were those from 1930's when many skilled gem cutters from Idar-Oberstein in Germany were moved to Brazil and Uruguay. While being on the foreign land, these cutters had sent large quantities of the warm colored stone to their homeland for cutting and fashioning.
• Today, citrine is cut in the same way as amethyst. It can be found in various shapes such as round, oval, princess, trillion and cushion with cuts varying from emerald-cut to sugarloaf cut and checker board.
• Citrines often receive heat treatment to enhance the color and clarity. Commercially, amethysts are heat treated to make citrine. The stones are heated between a temperature of 876 degrees Fahrenheit and 1040 degrees Fahrenheit to get the desired citrine color. It requires great skills to achieve the desired hue.
Citrine Care
• It is a relatively soft stone so it needs to be protected from any scratching or chipping. It is advisable to wear citrine jewelry especially rings more carefully.
• The stone is sensitive to heat and sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight or high temperature could alter the color of the gem.
• When cleaning, remember to use commercial jewelry cleaner and warm water.
Citrine History
The historical usages of citrine were associated with Greece where the stone was popular as a decorative piece from 300 to 150 B.C. during the Hellenistic Age.
Citrine was among the twelve stones studded in the breastplate of High Priest Aaron as stated in the book of Exodus. It was also mentioned in the Roman Catholic and Latin versions of the Old Testament where the gem was called 'chrysolitus', which means golden stone.
The boom of citrine jewelry came in late 19th and early 20th centuries with the rise of Art Deco movement. Its charming golden hues were good to complement the designs of the period, so the stone was largely used for bold statement rings, and intricately
