Here's a pop quiz: name one employer that gives you a company credit card, but doesn't keep track of your purchases and spending record. Did you guess the U.S. federal government? Congratulations--you win a free spending spree.
Government-issued credit cards intended to pay for travel costs and small purchases like office supplies have been abused for years because of a lack of oversight. But a new piece of legislation aims to stop this practice for good.
The Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act, introduced by Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA), Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), and Susan Collins (R-ME), requires federal agencies to put new safeguards and controls on government charge cards used by federal employees. The bill would also require penalties for violations.
As The Washington Post reported this week, in the past, federal employees have used government-issued credit cards on everything from gambling expenses and excessive airlines tickets to adult entertainment stores and brothels.
This bill aims to prevent this kind of misuse by aiming to ensure purchase and travel cards are used only for approved spending. It does this by establishing internal controls, such as requiring that agencies maintain a record of each card holder, establishing policies on the number of cards that can be issued, and invalidating employees' cards when they leave an agency. The bill would also require agency Inspectors General to periodically conduct assessments of the credit card programs with the intention of identifying any fraud.
At present, agencies' controls over the cards are lacking. Even the Department of Defense (DoD), which was subjected to purchase card provisions as part of the National Defense Authorization Act of FY 2000, still doesn't regulate travel cards. This new bill would expand DoD's existing requirements and bring them in line with the proposed regulations for all agencies.
The bill has already passed unanimously through the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and now stands to be cleared by the House Armed Services Committee.
According to Jill Kozeny, a spokeswoman for Sen. Grassley, getting the bill passed may be a lengthy process. She told POGO, "Senator Grassley has been involved in many legislation reform initiatives that have been successful, but sometimes these efforts take several congresses."
The cosponsors of the bill are emphasizing that passing this legislation is "common sense." In a press release, Sen. Collins said: "American taxpayers get the bill for these federal credit cards and they deserve complete assurance that their money is going to legitimate business purposes."

Meet Patients Where They Are: Segmenting by Individual Healthcare Needs
In the ever-evolving world of healthcare, it has become increasingly important to understand and meet the diverse needs of patients. One effective strategy for accomplishing this is through the process of segmenting patients based on their individual healthcare needs. By segmenting patients, healthcare providers can tailor their services and communication to better meet the specific requirements and preferences of each group. In this article, we will explore the concept of segmenting patients by their healthcare needs and discuss its benefits and implementation strategies.
Why Segment Patients?
Segmenting patients allows healthcare providers to gain a deeper understanding of their unique requirements, enabling them to deliver targeted and personalized care. By identifying common characteristics and needs among patient groups, providers can create tailored interventions, treatments, and support systems. This approach leads to improved patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, and more efficient resource allocation.
Improved Patient Satisfaction
Tailoring care to meet individual needs enhances patient satisfaction. When patients feel heard and understood, they are more likely to trust their healthcare providers and actively participate in their own care. By segmenting patients and providing personalized interventions, healthcare providers can create a stronger patient-provider relationship, leading to higher levels of satisfaction.
Improved Health Outcomes
Segmenting patients allows for targeted interventions and treatments. By addressing specific conditions and challenges, healthcare providers can improve health outcomes and patient well-being. For example, if a segment of patients has a high prevalence of diabetes, providers can develop specialized care plans that focus on diabetes management, leading to better control of blood sugar levels and reduced risk of complications.
Efficient Resource Allocation
Understanding the needs of different patient segments enables healthcare providers to allocate their resources more efficiently. By identifying the areas where resources are most needed, providers can ensure that they are directed towards the right interventions and treatments. This optimization of resource allocation not only improves the delivery of care but also helps in cost management, ensuring that resources are used effectively.
Improved Communication
Tailoring communication to individual segments ensures that messages are relevant and resonate with patients. Different segments may have different preferences and communication styles. By understanding these preferences, healthcare providers can customize their communication strategies to match the needs of each segment. This leads to improved patient understanding, engagement, and adherence to treatment plans.
Understanding the Segmentation Process
Defining Patient Segments: The first step in segmenting patients is to identify the different groups based on their healthcare needs. This can be done by analyzing data such as medical records, surveys, or even conducting interviews and focus groups. By gathering information on patients' demographics, medical conditions, behavior patterns, and preferences, providers can identify meaningful segments.
Developing Personas: Once patient segments are defined, creating personas can further enhance our understanding of each group. Personas are fictional representations of typical individuals within each segment, incorporating their demographics, preferences, goals, and challenges. Personas help healthcare providers empathize with patients, enabling them to design more effective interventions. For example, if a segment consists of older adults with chronic pain, the persona can be developed to reflect their challenges in mobility and their goals of managing pain to improve quality of life.
Tailoring Communication: Effective communication plays a pivotal role in meeting patients' healthcare needs. By understanding the preferences and communication styles of each segment, providers can customize their messages, ensuring they resonate with the intended audience. This could include delivering information through preferred channels, using appropriate language and tone, and addressing specific concerns. For instance, if a segment comprises of tech-savvy individuals, healthcare providers can utilize digital platforms and apps to communicate important information and provide support.
Personalizing Care: Segmentation helps healthcare providers identify the most suitable interventions and treatments for each group. By recognizing the unique needs and challenges of each segment, providers can offer personalized care plans that address specific conditions, lifestyles, and preferences. This level of personalization enhances patient engagement, satisfaction, and adherence to treatment plans. For example, if a segment consists of pregnant women, healthcare providers can offer prenatal classes, dietary guidance, and emotional support to ensure a healthy pregnancy journey.
Benefits of Segmenting Patients
Segmenting patients by their healthcare needs offers numerous benefits for both patients and healthcare providers. Some key advantages include:
Enhanced Patient Satisfaction: By tailoring care to meet individual needs, patients feel heard and understood. This personalized approach fosters a stronger patient-provider relationship, leading to higher levels of satisfaction.
Improved Health Outcomes: Segmenting patients allows for targeted interventions and treatments. By addressing specific conditions and challenges, healthcare providers can improve health outcomes and patient well-being.
Efficient Resource Allocation: By understanding the needs of different patient segments, healthcare providers can allocate their resources more efficiently. This ensures that resources are directed towards the areas where they are most needed, optimizing the delivery of care.
Improved Communication: Tailoring communication to individual segments ensures that messages are relevant and resonate with patients. This leads to improved patient understanding, engagement, and adherence to treatment plans.
Implementing Patient Segmentation
Implementing patient segmentation requires a systematic approach. Here are some steps to consider:
Data Collection: Start by gathering data through various sources, such as medical records, surveys, and patient interviews. Ensure that the data collected is comprehensive and covers a wide range of patient characteristics and needs.
Data Analysis: Analyze the collected data to identify common patterns and characteristics among patient groups. This analysis will help define meaningful segments based on healthcare needs, demographics, behaviors, and preferences.
Persona Creation: Develop personas for each patient segment to enhance understanding and empathy. Personas should capture the unique characteristics, preferences, and challenges of each group, enabling healthcare providers to design targeted interventions.
Communication Planning: Tailor communication strategies to match the preferences and communication styles of each segment. Determine the most effective channels, language, and tone for delivering information to maximize impact and engagement.
Care Personalization: Design personalized care plans for each patient segment based on their specific healthcare needs. Consider factors such as medical conditions, lifestyle, and preferences to ensure interventions are tailored to the unique requirements of each group.
Continuous Evaluation: Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of the segmentation strategy and make adjustments as needed. Collect feedback from patients and healthcare providers to identify areas of improvement and ensure ongoing success.
Segmenting patients by their individual healthcare needs is a powerful strategy that enables healthcare providers to deliver personalized care, improve patient satisfaction, and enhance health outcomes. By understanding the different segments and tailoring communication and interventions accordingly, providers can meet patients where they are and provide the highest quality of care. Implementing a systematic approach to patient segmentation will lead to improved patient outcomes, efficient resource allocation, and stronger patient-provider relationships.

TRIPOLI // A Libyan government spokesman yesterday denied reports that Colonel Muammar Qaddafi's wife, daughter and top oil official had fled the country.
Days after the reports first surfaced, which claimed Colonel Qaddafi and his family were on the southern Tunisian island of Djerba, Libyan officials produced no evidence of the whereabouts of the three, raising new questions about Colonel Qaddafi's ability to hold together his entourage in the face of Nato bombing and pressure for him to quit.
Libyan rebel officials, as well as official sources in Tunisia, have also said that Shokri Ghanem, a former prime minister who runs Libya's oil sector, had left Libya via Tunisia.
Khaled Kaim, Libya's deputy foreign minister and one of the main government spokesmen, said: "Shokri Ghanem is in his position, at work. If he's out of the country he'll be coming back. As for the family of the leader, they're still here in Libya. Where else would they be?"
Mr Ghanem, who was also head of Libya's National Oil Co, crossed into neighboring Tunisia by road on Monday and defected, according to a Tunisian security official and Abdel Moneim al Houni, a former Libyan Arab League representative who was among the first wave of Libyan diplomats to defect.
A person who answered a cell phone listed for Mr Ghanem in Austria and identified herself as his daughter said the family had had no contact with him since Friday and did not know his whereabouts. The woman's identity could not be verified.
Prominent members of Colonel Qaddafi's government who have abandoned the regime include the foreign minister, justice minister, a former UN General Assembly president and a number of other diplomats.
The Nato secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said a combination of strong military and political pressure and opposition support would eventually lead to the collapse of Colonel Qaddafi's rule.
Libya is under international sanctions and Nato has been carrying out air strikes on the oil producer since Colonel Qaddafi used force to put down a revolt against his rule that was inspired by uprisings elsewhere in the Arab world. The conflict has reached deadlock in military terms, which has left Western governments counting increasingly that Colonel Qaddafi's administration will collapse from within.
The past few days have also seen a flurry of diplomatic activity focusing on a possible ceasefire deal, with pro-Qaddafi officials travelling to Moscow for talks and United Nations envoys trying to broker an agreement.
One Tripoli resident said the everyday machinery of government seemed to have stopped functioning, though Colonel Qaddafi's security forces were still in evidence and cracking down on signs of dissent.
"There is no government any more. You call people and they're just not there. Even the people around Qaddafi you don't see any more."
Meanwhile Colonel Qaddafi's forces shelled the main rebel stronghold in a strategic mountain range southwest of the Libyan capital yesterday, pounding the area with rockets, a resident said.
The Nafusa mountains, which slice across the desert south of Tripoli to the western border with Tunisia, have been a key zone of opposition since the early days of the uprising against Qaddafi's more than 40-year rule in mid-February. Although Colonel Qaddafi's forces control most of western Libya, rebels have linked up with the mountain area's minority Berbers to keep his forces out of the highest points, denying them a military advantage.
Yesterday, rebels fought to hold back government troops rocketing their positions to the east and southeast of the city of Zintan, the rebel command center for the mountain range, said resident and activist Hamed Enbayah. The shelling killed at least one rebel fighter and wounded three others, he said.
The Nafusa mountains are the most important rebel-held swath of western Libya after the coastal city of Misrata, which has been under an even more punishing siege. Most of Libya's rebel forces are concentrated in the east of the country and have been unsuccessful in advancing westward toward the capital even after NATO warplanes began hitting Qaddafi's forces.
Points along the entire mountain range have been under intensified attack since early this week. Residents of some areas said the fighting had trapped them inside their homes and that they were cut off from food and medical supplies.
The situation in the Nafusa mountains "remains dire, really dire," said Jalal al-Gallal, a spokesman for the rebel governing council, based in the eastern city of Benghazi.
Hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties and running out of supplies. Many of the wounded from one village, Kiklah, were being smuggled out on donkeys because government forces were blocking evacuations, the rebel council said.
It has appealed for help in establishing a safe corridor to deliver humanitarian aid and allow the wounded to be evacuated.
The council's vice chairman, Abdel-Hafiz Ghoga, said: "It is abundantly clear that Qaddafi forces continue to target innocent civilians. The blocking of food, water and medical supplies is unacceptable."
BelJassem, a fighter from a Berber village near the mountain town of Yafrin, said on Wednesday that Qaddafi forces had shelled that area repeatedly. "We dig trenches and hide in there at night," said BelJassem, who gave only his first name for fear of reprisals.
Omar Hussein, a spokesman for the Nafusa mountain rebels, claimed that a government soldier killed in fighting near the town of Nalut, closer to the border with Tunisia, was found chained to his destroyed vehicle, apparently to prevent him from fleeing.
Elsewhere in the west, along the Mediterranean coast, a resident of the city of Ajaylat reached by telephone from Benghazi said Qaddafi forces stormed in Wednesday and kidnapped hundreds of people, most of them young men and boys.
She said they moved house to house and appeared to be trying to take one male from each home. By evening, they retreated from the town, she said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
Ajaylat is known as a smuggling haven for people who take Libya's cheap fuel across the border to Tunisia, about 80 kilometers away, and smuggle back other goods.
The kidnapping claim could not be independently confirmed, but Amnesty International has made similar allegations of abductions in Misrata, saying scores of young men were "subjected to enforced disappearance."
In Libya's capital, meanwhile, hundreds of Colonel Qaddafi's loyalists staged an overnight show of support, proclaiming that the rebel insurgency was nearing an end.
In the main square in Tripoli, crowds of teenagers, young men and security officers turned out for the government-sponsored rally, spraying gunfire into the air, setting off fireworks and waving green Libyan flags.
Some of them said they were celebrating because they heard on state TV that Qaddafi loyalists were holding similar rallies in the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi, though there was no evidence of such a demonstration there.
Benghazi has been firmly under rebel control since the start of the uprising.
"We are celebrating our unity of citizens in east and west," said Raid Mansour, 35, carrying his young daughter on his shoulders. "Now we all think the same: We want freedom and for Moammar Qaddafi to be victorious," Mansour said.
The gathering appeared to have been organised in an attempt to reassure Libyans that the regime was standing strong three months into an uprising that has left most of the east in rebel hands, halted the country's oil exports and drawn in the punishing Nato air campaign.

In this innovative study, Daniel S. Dupre offers a history of the first generation of one community on the cotton frontier of the Old Southwest, from the speculative schemes of the late eighteenth century to the Panic of 1837 that ended the "flush times." Rural Madison County, in north Alabama's fertile Tennessee Valley, attracted a diverse population of planters, slaves, and yeoman farmers that differed from that of Huntsville, the commercial heart of the county, which developed into an ambitious mercantile and professional center. Dupre's examinations of settlement, banking, land relief, internal improvements, crime, benevolence and reform, religion, factional and party conflict, and slave disorder clearly reveal the tensions and bonds existing among these opposing groups as the region struggled to transcend its frontier origins.In tracking Madison County's development, Dupre stresses the interplay of commercial and subsistence ideals, the expansion westward of a venturesome market economy and of a more conservative set of agrarian values. When settlers cleared the land, Dupre explains, they sought to secure the independence that came from subsistence and to set the stage for economic development. But the cotton boom of 1818 and the Panic of 1819 fractured these objectives and polarized the community through the 1820s and 1830s.Dupre traces the emergence of two broad ideologies—a booster's vision of progress through consensus, order, and commercial vitality versus a preoccupation with the preservation of liberty coupled with a suspicious attitude toward economic and governmental power. These modes of thinking, sharpened through local disputes over economic policy, social reform, and political culture, provided the foundation for the Second American Party System in north Alabama.In the process of building societies on the cotton frontier, citizens struggled to reconcile the aims of subsistence and commerce, debated the proper balance of liberty and order, and argued about representation and democracy. Thus, more than a local history, Transforming the Cotton Frontier explores the intersection of community and ideology and provides a glimpse of the broad forces of change sweeping through the early American republic.

NEW YORK — Sigur Ros fans are beaming this morning upon hearing the band's new album which perfectly captures the universal experience of being wèuupøhjc śytœñsshürrvåq.
"Even though I can't understand a lick of what that's guy howling, something about the music makes me feel seen and empowered," noted superfan Jenna Smeth, who describes the new album as "epic." "I've spent my entire life feeling wèuupøhjc, and have often shamed myself for being śkiïpł and maybe even a little ñdgÿÿÿėçræb, but that stops today."
The Icelandic band's lyrics are often written in "Hopelandic," a completely-made-up language coined by the group, which somehow hits home with countless listeners.
"Picture it: 10,000 people, under beautiful lights, all singing along with entirely different lyrics," said Sigur Ros superfan Craig Whisp while trying to Google a specific live video but messing up the spelling. "Despite the fact that the words are literal nonsense, we find ourselves more represented by these phrases than actual, legal words. It's an experience that makes us all one; it's universal, in that it applies to nobody in particular at all."
Local tattoo artist Sheila Dessby had to close her shop temporarily as a result of the acclaimed new record.
"Whenever people want even the simplest Sigur Ros lyric tattooed, it always ends up being intricate body art," noted Dessby, who longs for the days of people getting tattoos of Sufjan Stevens' "All Things Go" lyric. "I normally just charge extra, but today was a different story. I'd have to open up a second shop in order to fit all the people who wanted 'rtÿaâ lœj ñdèëßôpåçā' tattooed. I don't know what it means, but it's clearly hit a nerve."
At press time, Smeth was seen being cursed out in Icelandic after trying to speak Hopelandic while visiting Iceland.

Macro photography - Using the Canon Macro EF-S 60mm and the back garden.
One of my oldest lenses, this has easily become one of my favourite lenses to use. What I like about this Macro is that, It's not too expensive to buy and I have managed to have quite a lot of fun with it over the years.
A quick trip down to the bottom of the garden with the old Canon 650D and here are a few of the shots which came out.

Jun-19-2012 20:57 People of Sleuthville, lend me your ears! I call out now to all you tomb-raiders and treasure seekers! To those who love the thrill of a good treasure hunt! In the spirit of friendly competition i propose a challenge. This challenge will require 10 adventurous detectives to be split onto 2 Teams, each team consisting of 5 members, in 2 newly made Agencies of my own making in NY. These two agencies will compete against each other in Treasure Hunts. The first team to get their agency to 7,000 Fame wins: $200,000 Prize to be split among the team evenly. (Working out to $40,000 a piece for each teammate...not too shabby huh?) Also each team after the contest ends will vote amongst themselves on who alone among their team was MVP (someone who went above and beyond, did a really excellent job, etc) The MVP's from Both teams will win a 3 month gift subscription from me personally. You also win bragging rights and honor for your home agencies on being an awesome treasure hunter. Whether your team chooses single or multi-city hunt strategy is entirely up to you. Obviously this competition will run for a while, (I'm venturing a guess at anywhere between 2 weeks to a month depending on how luck smiles on you or how good you and your teammates are). It goes without saying that you would be required to resign temporarily from whatever agency you are currently in to join my competing agencies for the contest. You are allowed to enter an alternate detective if you wish if you're too attached to have your main detective leave your agency, and the only rules are: 1) Absolutely NO Password Sharing. 2) Only one entry per contestant 3) Have fun. I want to know who among you treasure hunters really has what it takes to come together and co-ordinate as a team to truly be the best. (Cont'd)
Jun-20-2012 05:05 (wow sorry i cant type) *I sincerely hope you and your agency mates reconsider, you are all more than welcome and highly encouraged to join. :)
Jun-20-2012 05:08 25k is going to take a pretty long time. But if everyone else is cool with that so am I :) I also don't think it's possible to have other agencies not participate and I sort of like that chaotic element as well. But that will extend the contest even longer because well be competing against PW sharers and seasoned hunting agencies. I propose 15k. If it goes too quickly, then the next one could be extended. Also I'm planning on donating some of my money to the contest, because two 12 person agencies cost a lot to run, with daily rent being pretty high.
Jun-20-2012 05:11 15k or 25k either is for all of you guys to decide upon, im very open for suggestions on this number. Like i said, i want it challenging but i dont want to take up TOO much time with this, but i dont want it too easy. So whatever the consensus is, i shall make it so. And i wont ask for contributions but obviously i won't turn any down. :)
Jun-20-2012 05:14 I like the idea of 15k. It can always be modified for the next contest :)
Jun-20-2012 05:21 I love how we haven't even begun and yet there is already interest in a next time. :D!!!
Jun-20-2012 05:22 Count me in.
Jun-20-2012 05:24 To be honest Jason I can't believe it's not been done before :)
Jun-20-2012 05:27 I'm not even competing in this thing and im excited. :D
Jun-20-2012 09:48 Jason, I'm dubious about the participation in the pageant at this point, we may just have to revert back to the pretty avatar thing and that can be done at any old time, I suggest you do this first. Everyones really eager for it. :)
Jun-20-2012 09:49 Oshoot. <----Molly

Lessons the government could learn from my feet
The number one question everyone has asked me since my walk to Washington D.C. is, "How are your feet?" They are fairly good. Although I do still get the "hikers wobble," usually early in the morning or if I sit too long.
That's where you hop up like normal, only to have the bottom of your feet remind you that you recently abused them. The good news is that the cure for "hikers wobble" is hiking - meaning after a few steps the pain dissipates and soon there is no affect at all.
As for the looks of them, that's another story. I did get several really nice size blisters and those have either calloused up into hard, gopher-mound-like entities, or they are peeling off. Looks like my days as foot model are over, for a while at least.
Photo of Cherri Foytlin by Eliot Kameniitz/The Times-Picayune.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the help of my friend and running partner, Drew Landry, I would be in worse shape than I am. Every night he would check my feet and do what had to be done to keep them in walking shape. I'm not sure if you have ever encountered feet fresh from a sock after a 30 mile asphalt march, but if you want to discuss toxicity in the environment - Drew might have something to say. To his credit, he never complained about it, in fact I can safely say I never would have made it without his assistance in that area.
I remember one time in particular, on the second day of walking, when I came in and was just done. I fell across the bed and went straight to sleep - I don't even remember touching the bed really.
I woke up, and he had taken my shoes off and was washing my feet with a cold cloth. Sister Teresa couldn't have been more appreciated than he was by me, at that moment. It's biblical, you know. It's servitude. It's compassion, friendship, love, honor and a host of other words that mean - he's just a really good dude.
More than that, you could say that what Drew did for me is a testament to what should be happening with the BP disaster, and other man-made and natural disasters all over the world.
You see Drew couldn't walk that path for me, I mean he joined me when he could, but ultimately it was my walk (in the context that it was with shared allegiance, and in deepest love and respect for the people, animals, cultures and ecosystem of the Gulf Coast, of course).
When it came down to it, I had to walk it.
Same can be said for an area affected by a tornado, flood, oil catastrophe, terrorist act, etc., it is the people there - those that live, breath, raise a family, work and die in that area, that have to suffer through it.
Of course, as a society - and following the requests of our spiritual prophets and universal conscience, it is our duty to aid in whatever way is needed. But ultimately, no one can know or be affected in the same way as the one who is in it up to his neck. We can all empathize, but we can never really know, until it happens to us.
We can also never really know what is needed within that certain community. Every place has a breath to it. A special fingerprint that is undeniably and culturally theirs. To not recognize that is foolish on another's part. And man, is our government foolish at times.
Take that meeting I mentioned earlier in D.C. with the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Taskforce (GCERT), Heath and Human Services (HHS), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Coast Guard, and other governmental entities, who are positioned to provide aid for the continuing health effects of the dispersant and crude oil mix.
The lady from the HHS said that she had continuously told people to call Poison Control and let them know the affects they are suffering. Yet, she explained, few had. She asked, in earnest, "where is the disconnect?"
Here's the deal, people here have no reason to trust the government enough to believe they will be helped by making the call. If you couple the perception, true or not (and it is true, from what I've seen), that very few "leaders" outside of the Gulf of Mexico care about the Gulf of Mexico, with the lack of formal outreach of information that has been provided to the public, you can figure very few of us have Poison Control on speed dial.
Five (no, six after the tornadoes, WAIT– No, seven, if this flooding gets as bad as they say) major natural and man-made disasters in five years have happened on the Gulf Coast. And we have yet - YET, to see the government - Republican or Democratic, perform in a way that has been honest as to the injury, let alone competent as to the remedy.
Often times instead of letting us "walk our walk," and then yielding the blessed cold, wet, wash cloth - they come in and essentially take our feet out from under us.
Instead of empowering the community to steer the way in their own recovery, they essentially tie us to a chair and then leave, saying something about there not being enough funds for cold water. Of course, if we file a forty page application in triplicate, we may have a chance of speaking for three minutes to the new commission, appointed by the President, on foot care, whose report will be made available in two years.
Also, there will be a new study, funded 50% by your sock, that eventually might be able to tell you if the blisters you have are painful.
But don't worry, to raise awareness while you wait, they made these nice flyers that say "Feeling bad cause your feet hurt? You may need to talk to someone about that." Or better yet, "Feet hurt? Well, it ain't our fault."
In their defense, it is hard to give real options for an answer to questions they refuse to ask. Such as, "What has made a large number of people who cleaned the spill or live on the Coast, horribly ill, since April 20th of last year? And how can our organization do its job, in a timely manner, and get them some health care?"
Asking those questions - acknowledging the need, is the first step to calming the pain and setting communities on their feet again.
Follow that up with the cloth of compassion, salve of action and a bandage of prevention - and you got yourself a walker.
Only then can we all say, "Even if it's not pretty, and there is still a little 'wobble' now and again, someday soon, we are going to be ready to dance."
Cherri Foytlin is an oil worker's wife, mother of six, Louisiana resident and journalist whose family has been deeply impacted by the BP Oil Disaster and consequential moratorium on deep water drilling. She co-founded Gulf Change, blogs for www.BridgeTheGulfProject.org, and walked to Washington D.C. from New Orleans (1,243 miles) to call for action to stop the BP oil disaster. She has been a constant voice, speaking out to the Obama Administration's Gulf Oil Spill Commission, and in countless forms of media. Cherri will continue her fight for the industries, people, culture and wildlife of south Louisiana and the Gulf Coast "until we are made whole again".

New VW Crafter is ready to go to work!
A historical event took place on Saturday in "Kurbads" logistics center – the new Volkswagen "Crafter" drove first meters on Latvian soil. "Crafter" is one of the most popular commercial transport vehicles in the World.
"I like this new generation a lot more – comfortable driving position, easy steering, it's also very quiet." says Arnis Grunšteins, "Kurbads" driver who had the honour to deliver this model to Latvia. "For me it's hard to judge how this car feels in traffic. But in the short moments we had at the warehouse I really enjoyed the new "Crafter"!"
A new production facility was built in Wrzesnia, Poland, especially for the new "Crafter".
In order to understand precisely different customers' requirements, engineers from Volkswagen accompanied vehicle users from key customer groups, including couriers, construction workers and long distance drivers on their rounds during the development stage. This meant they could identify the genuine needs of these drivers and fleets.
The new "Crafter" offers up plenty of choice when it comes to body sizes, with three different lengths available – 5,9 m, 6,84 m or 7,39 m.
Despite the usual boxy shape, the new Crafter will have the lowest drag coefficient in its class, at just 0.33. That makes it more slippery and aerodynamic than any other large van in production, and should pay dividends in fuel economy and emissions.
The van will have a Euro 6 2-liter diesel engine "EA 288 Commercial" that will be available with three power outputs – 102 HP, 140 HP or as a BiTurbo TDI with 177 HP.
At the moment in Latvia, only FWD models are available but from the summer clients will be able to choose also RWD and all-wheel-drive versions as well as the option of a manual or automatic gearbox. Such variety has never been seen before in this segment.

Take a look at this responsive section with a listing of the famous Indian dish Pani Puri. On desktop or wider screens, we want a portrait image (like on the left) while on mobile we prefer a landscape image (like on the right).
Let's say, you are given this original image which works fine for the desktop version as it is, but not for the mobile layout:
For this, you don't need to use any editor to crop the image manually. You also don't have to use separate images for both these layouts. You can use the same image for mobile layout too and specify the width and height as needed. But the moment you set width
and height
properties like so:
.mobile img {
width: 18rem;
height: 10rem;
You end up with a distorted image! Aspect ratio lost.
To retain the aspect ratio and show the image as if it was cropped, you can use the object-fit
CSS property with the value cover
.mobile img {
width: 18rem;
height: 10rem;
object-fit: cover;
And that's it! You have the desired result.
By default, the center part of the image gets cropped and displayed. You can change that using the object-position
property. For example, if you need the top part of the image, you can use
object-position: top
Here's what using different values for this property would give you: center
(default), top
and bottom
You can read more about object-position
from this CSS Tricks article
View the demo of both the layouts on CodePen and play around if you wish to.

Recently, a similar incident was reported in which religious leader Kalicharan Maharaj made derogatory remarks against the Father of the Nation and was later arrested by Chhattisgarh Police.
Superintendent Of Police, Narsinghpur, Vipul Srivastava told ANI: "We saw the video. Case registered under Section 505 (2) and 153 B. Since there is less than 7 years of punishment (in the matter) as per CrPC Section 41A, we have sent a notice to him (Tarun Murari Bapu)."
"Whoever breaks the nation into pieces, how can he be the father of the nation? I oppose them. He is a deshdrohi (traitor)," Tarun Murari Bapu had said during the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha at Veera Lawn on Chhindwara Road in Madhya Pradesh's Narsinghpur on Monday, as seen in the video.
After this statement came to the fore, Congress gave a memorandum to the Superintendent of Police for registering an objection to it. Subsequently, a case was registered under sections 153, 504, 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Ganj police station.

Ford officially started deliveries of Mustang Mach-E GT, the ultra-premium version of the electric crossover. The faster edition is also the most expensive one with better performance than the other three models of Mach-E. A reservation holder was delivered the vehicle two vehicles earlier than expected, as posted on Mach-E Forum.
The Mach-E GT costs $59,900, which can increase with further add-ons. It has an all-wheel-drive range of 270 miles and with 480 horsepower it can go at 3.8 seconds from 0-60. Mach-E has already gained popularity among electric vehicle enthusiasts. It was noted as the 4th most popular EV considering sales.
Initially, this premium version was said to start deliveries by the fall of 2021. But the early delivery date beats the delivery projection dates. Ford is seen focusing on its electric fleet. Recently Ford's North America communications director hinted that all-electric Bronco could also be on the way to production.
The interiors of the vehicles were also posted by customers. The mach-E premium edition is known to have a different interior compared to the sibling models. As "Sport-Style Front Seats with ActiveX Seating Material" is installed giving it an additional premium look. The price of the car is justified with an expensive look.
Feel the power
A Ford spokesperson confirmed, "Yes GT deliveries have begun and will ramp up over the next few months." Right now, Ford is making more electric crossovers than traditional Mustangs. Earlier this month the company announced that to make up for late deliveries they will credit eligible customers with 250kW (700 miles) of charging to their vehicles. Now, there is no information on whether customers will avail of this credit as the deliveries are early.
Additionally, Ford surpassed its own estimations where, the initial plan was to have 250 miles, but the vehicles delivered have 270 miles range. Customers have also been sharing their ride experiences. Here is one review shared by a user after a day of work,
"The dark grey color is lighter in the pictures than seeing it in person, so I think it does look cooler in person. I've let a couple of other EV techies drive it today and they are exhilarated. Intense laughter when stomping on the go pedal. "Feel it in the gut."Like a roller coaster and space shot. Tight control – great stability. The steering wheel feels fantastic, for a race car."
"15 minutes later: I can still feel that power in my gut! A heavy sense of regeneration, ie. let go of pedal and can definitely feel it actively slowing down, not coasting. (probably not specific to the GT PE). I have to adjust power response expectations in traffic – such as goosing it to pass – need to ensure I've already changed lanes before goosing it, otherwise intense acceleration sneaks up too fast to car in front."
Undoubtedly their reviews have been similar, stating the impressive performance and feel of the premium EV.

The all-new 2019 Ford Ranger has now been on sale for about six months, finally reappearing in the U.S. late last year after an extended eight-year absence. Riding on the same Ford T6 platform the Ranger uses globally, the new Ranger delivers midsize pickup goodness in both SuperCab and SuperCrew configurations, taking the fight to rivals like the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma, and Nissan Frontier. One of the best parts about the new Ford Ranger is an optional appearance package, but the optional feature has gone mostly unnoticed. Here's Ford Authority to save the day.
Officially called Black Appearance Package, the optional packet of goodies gives customers even more choices when it comes to customizing the exterior of the Ford Ranger. It joins two other optional exterior styling packages already offered for the 2019 Ford Ranger – Chrome Appearance Package and Sport Appearance Package.
The addition of this third, dark-themed package will no doubt help to leverage the popularity of blacked-out exterior upgrades seen all around the industry these days.
So then, the 2019 Ford Ranger Black Appearance Package comes with a long list of new components, including:
- High-gloss black 18-inch aluminum wheels
- Black lower valence
- Black running boards
- Black sill plate
- Black bumpers
- Black grille
- Black fender vent surround
- Black spray-in bed liner
- Black sideview mirrors
- Black skid plate (for models equipped with FX4 Off-Road Package)
These dark components are particularly impactful when paired with a bright exterior paint option like Lightning Blue or Hot Pepper Red, or a bright one like Oxford White. However, the Saber (orange) exterior color is not offered with the Black Appearance Package, given that many of the exterior components are instead finished in grey when offered with that color.
The 2019 Ford Ranger Black Appearance Package is available on XLT and Lariat trim levels. In other words, it's not available with the XL trim level. Pricing is set at $1,995.
Adding the Black Appearance Package to XLT trim levels requires the addition of the 301A Equipment Group, which tosses in an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, power-folding sideview mirrors, SiriusXM satellite radio, and the SYNC 3 infotainment system. Meanwhile, Lariat models require the 501A Equipment Group, which includes the 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo (SuperCrew only), Technology Package, Rain-Sensing Wipers, Remote Start, and a Windshield Wiper De-Icer.
Indeed, it makes a whole lot of sense for Ford to double down (or rather, triple down at this point) on the exterior goodies, given more than two-thirds of 2019 Ford Ranger vehicles are equipped with one of the optional appearance packages before they make it off the dealer lot.
The 2019 Ford Ranger Black Appearance Package is available for order now.
For reference, the 2019 Ford Ranger is equipped with Ford's turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which mates to a 10-speed automatic transmission and either a rear-wheel-drive or 4×4 drivetrain.

Folk Village Herbal Medicine Garden
This website is reader-supported - thank you! As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Tour of the herbal medicine garden at Cregneash on the Isle of Man, where traditional plant medicines still grow. Includes a video of the garden and plants and a discussion on how people in the past, with no access to doctors or hospitals, used plants to heal.
A hundred years ago, a veggie patch was much more than just a leisure garden. It was survival, especially in a place like the Isle of Man. These days the Island is quaint and modern, and the thought of having to grow your own food is far from most people's minds. It's something that you do for fun, perhaps for mindfulness, but not a necessity.
Up until the middle of the 20th century, there were still cottages on the Isle of Man with dirt floors. In the decades before that, this isolated rock in the Irish Sea had to be far more self-sufficient. If the boat doesn't arrive with the daily delivery of food, the local supermarket shelves empty with panic buying. In the past, you had to grow your own or have something to swap to be able to put fresh food on the table.
When it came to medicine, growing your own was even more essential. If you came down with a cough or sore throat, you would have soothing candies made of marshmallow or white horehound. Broken bones would be treated with comfrey, and worts would be removed using greater celandine. The list goes on.
Traditional Herbalism Preserved
This way of life is preserved in the incredible Manx National Heritage site, Cregneash. A living folk village, Cregneash was once a small crofters community that scratched a living from the soil and the sea. Its picturesque stone cottages are to this day maintained in a way that is sympathetic to the past. Inside them, you'll find traditional furnishings, crafts, and MNH staff who explain what life was like. If you're lucky, you might even catch a demonstration.
- More on the Gardens of Cregneash
- Ways to Use Plants for Healing Skincare
- How to Create a Herbal First Aid Kit
Often overlooked, the gardens outside show the types of edibles and herbal remedies people would have grown. Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Cregneash's head gardener, Karen Griffiths, to learn about them. Sitting outside Ned Beg's cottage, we discussed the importance of the veg patches around the village. Each crofter would have had space to grow vegetables, soft fruit like gooseberries and black currants, and of course, herbal remedies.
Medicinal Plants Used in the Past
In the video below, you can watch my interview with Karen. She takes us on a fascinating journey back to the past as we walk around the gardens of Cregneash, including the plants that the crofters would have used for herbal remedies. Sweet cicely that would have been used instead of sugar, and Weld, a plant brought to the Island by the Vikings. You can also find the video on the Lovely Greens YouTube channel. Some of the herbal remedies introduced include:
- Evening primrose
- Greater celandine
- Lemon balm
- Saracen's woundwort
- Soapwort
- Tansy
