Canadian Society for Medical Lab Science to Host Upcoming Webinar on Affordable Simulation
The Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) is the national certifying body for medical laboratory technologists and medical laboratory assistants, and the national professional society for Canada's medical laboratory professionals. They are a not-for-profit organization that is funded entirely by membership dues and revenues from goods and services. Their members practice in hospital laboratories, private medical laboratories, public health laboratories, government laboratories, research and educational institutions. Incorporated in 1937 as the Canadian Society of Laboratory Technologists, the society has over 14,500 members in Canada and in countries around the world.
The organization both works with regional and national governments to improve training requirements to utilize healthcare simulation, and also supports various healthcare education institution's with their utilization of medical simulation technologies.
In collaboration with CSMLS, the Simulation Knowledge Exchange – Research Network consists of representatives from 13 academic organizations with medical laboratory science programs (MLT and MLA) from across Canada. These individuals share a common interest in creating profession specific research and evidence based information on simulation and clinical placement topics. Together, they aim to increase a national understanding of these through research and knowledge transfer activities, and are using simulation to do it. Here's an upcoming webinar from them….

Life. Unrestricted. Podcast Interview
I had the pleasure of speaking with Meret Boxler for the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast. We covered a lot of ground regarding recovery, body image, disordered eating, men's issues, bipolar disorder, BMI charts, and much more.
You can give it a listen here, or search for the Life. Unrestricted. podcast in iTunes or other podcast apps.
I also want to mention that Meret has a number of distinguished guests from around the world focused on Intuitive Eating, Body Positivity, and Health at Every Size. These are resources, paradigm shifts, and movements I hope all will become familiar with as soon as possible.

If you make a booking by telephone you must provide us with all information
which we require. You must also ensure that all information which you provide is
accurate and that the credit or debit card you are using is your own or, subject
to our agreement, if it is a third party's you have their express authorization

booking confirmation is as firmly confirmed as if it were made/confirmed in
writing immediately. As soon as you receive the confirmation, please check the
details carefully and inform us immediately if anything appears to be incorrect
as it may not be possible to make changes later.
a) Package Holidays;
consisting of transport and accommodation booked at the same time and invoiced
as a fully inclusive cost;
b) Other Travel Arrangements;
which is anything else such as accommodation or transport booked together but
quoted separately and subsequently itemized on your invoice; or the purchase of
a flight or accommodation booked on its own. In the case of "Other Travel
Arrangements", toptraveluk Ltd acts only as an agent between you and our
suppliers with whom you will be in contract. Copies of their conditions are
available on request. All travel arrangements that include scheduled flights are
subject to IATA conditions of carriage, which are also available on request.
When making a booking you must pay in full. However, there might be some
bookings where a deposit will be acceptable to issue your tickets. This amount
will depend on the type of service being booked and will be advised at the time
of booking. Some airlines require tickets to be issued at the time of booking,
in which case the deposit will be at least the full cost of the ticket, which
may not be refundable. When we have received your deposit we will issue a
confirmation invoice, after which a contract exists, subject to English law
unless otherwise agreed. Please check all the documents carefully and notify us
of any inaccuracies within 24 hours of receipt. If you do not contact us within
24 hours of receipt we cannot accept any liability for errors made by us. We
will endeavor to assist in all cases but if you make a mistake we will pass on
any costs incurred to rectify the error. We will require payment of the
remaining balance as shown on your confirmation invoice not less than eight
weeks before your departure from the UK. If you book within eight weeks of
departure from the UK we will require full payment at the time of booking.
Deposits are non-refundable and should you fail to pay the money when it is due
we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain the deposit that has been
paid or pass on any increase if applicable. Travel documents will not be
released until we have received full payment.
For Other Travel Arrangements, Where we act as an agent between you and the
airline, they may request the payment date is brought forward, in which case we
will notify you of this change. This usually occurs when an airline withdraws a
fare and request that all tickets in the old fare are issued by a particular
date. If you are unable to pay at that time, your booking could be subject to a
fare increase or cancellation, whereby normal cancellation fees will apply.
Regrettably we cannot accept responsibility for any losses which you may incur
in these circumstances.
If you need to cancel a confirmed booking you must contact us. To cover the
cost of administration and cancellation charges imposed by suppliers and for the
possibility that we will not be able to resell the services, we have to make a
cancellation charge. If you have purchased our insurance you may be able to
claim for the charges we impose. Should you cancel your confirmed booking or
part of your booking, then the following cancellation charges will apply:
a) Package Holidays
More than 56 days prior to departure deposit only. 29 - 55 days the
higher of 50% of the total cost or loss of deposit. 15 - 28 days the higher of
75% of the total cost or loss of deposit. 14 days or less 100% of total cost.
Note: These cancellation charges apply to all bookings, except in circumstances
where a booking includes items or services where our suppliers own cancellation
charges exceed those shown above. In these circumstances any additional
cancellation charges will be advised at the time of booking.
b) Accommodation Only
More than 56 days prior to departure deposit only. 29 - 55 days the
higher of 60% of the total cost or loss of deposit. 8 - 28 days the higher of
80% of the total cost or loss of deposit. 7 days or less 100% of total cost.
c) Other Travel Arrangements
(apart from accommodation only) If you need to cancel you must contact
us. Cancellation charges vary depending on the services booked and will be
higher the later you cancel and will be clearly stated at the time of booking.
In all cases a minimum cancellation fee of £50 will apply regardless of the
value of the service cancelled. In some cases it may not be possible to offer
any refunds for certain services such as air tickets once a booking has been
made. Please ensure you are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by
asking us before proceeding to book your arrangements.
a) Package Holiday;
If you wish to make a change to a confirmed booking please contact us.
Up to 56 days prior to departure changes will incur a minimum charge of £50 per
person per change. If airline tickets have been issued, there may be additional
charges incurred in amending the flights. These charges will be notified to you
at the time of your request. In some cases this may be the full cost of a new
ticket. Within 56 days of departure any changes will be treated as a
cancellation and will be subject to the charges shown in Section 4. If your
alterations are considered a rebooking, the price payable will be the current
price on the day of alteration.
Name Changes; If you are prevented from taking a package holiday we will
endeavor to arrange a change of name, provided you tell us at least 21 days
prior to departure, provide evidence of your inability to travel and pay the
cost of the changes. We will charge £50 per name change in addition to any
charges levied by the service providers, for example the full cost of a new
airline ticket (subject to availability).
b) Other Travel Arrangements
In these circumstances we will charge an amendment fee of £50 per person plus
any amendment fees charged by our suppliers. If the prices charged have changed
since booking you will be charged any additional amounts applicable.
Please note:
In all cases a change to the outbound travel date, once confirmed, is regarded
as a cancellation and rebooking, not an alteration to the booking. Some
suppliers, particularly airlines, may consider a name or other change to an
existing booking, as a cancellation and rebooking, with up to 100% cancellation
charges. If the services booked are dependent on a minimum number of people
using the service, we will have to recalculate the total cost if the number of
passengers travelling has altered. The cost may therefore increase but as this
is not a cancellation charge, it may not be covered by your insurance. No
refunds can be given for part used or unused services.
a) Package Holidays
We aim to provide the travel arrangements you have booked without any
changes. However if you do not pay the balance when due or where there are not
enough people booked on the holiday for it to operate we may have to cancel it.
We also reserve the right to cancel your holiday in any circumstances but will
not do so within 8 weeks of departure, except for reasons outside our control.
If we have to cancel for any other reason we will offer you an alternative
holiday if available, compensation where appropriate or a full refund.
Compensation will not be payable when the cancellation is due to events
beyond our control (force majeure), such as war, threat of war, riots or
disturbances, terrorist activities, industrial disputes, fire, nuclear or
natural disasters, health risks, problems with transport, severe weather
conditions or any other similar events.
b) Other Travel Arrangements
In the unlikely event that a booking or part of a booking has to be
cancelled, for any other reason than non-payment, then a full refund for that
part will be made of all monies paid on receipt from the supplier, less
insurance premiums, Airline Failure Protection and ATOL Protection Contribution
(APC) where applicable. Where the booking includes sports or entertainment
tickets and the event is cancelled you may not be able to cancel the remainder
of your booking without penalty.
a) Package Holidays
Although it is unlikely, we may unfortunately have to make changes to
your travel arrangements and we must reserve the right to do so. We will inform
you of any major changes at the time of booking, or as soon as possible
afterwards if you have already booked. If a major change is necessary, such as
an alteration of your outward/return flights by more than 12 hours, change of
resort, or reduction in standard of your accommodation, you will be offered the
choice of: • (i) accepting the change • (ii) accepting an alternative, if
available • (iii) receiving a full refund of all monies paid, less any insurance
premium or alteration costs already incurred. If the alteration results in a
reduction in the total cost of your travel arrangements, we will make an
appropriate refund. We will offer appropriate compensation for the change
imposed providing that it does not arise from circumstances outside our control.
b) Other Travel Arrangements
Where we only act as a booking agent, particularly in the case of air
tickets, we may not be notified of a major change before you travel. We
recommend once you have departed the UK that you check directly with your
airline or view your scheduled flight details on www.checkmytrip.com for any
schedule changes. In the case of "no-frills" airlines you should check their own
website. Where we are notified, we will advise you as soon as is reasonably
possible. If you have had a major change with a scheduled airline that is not
acceptable we will offer you an alternative if available, or a full refund for
that service, subject to supplier conditions, less insurance premiums and
Airline Failure Protection where applicable. In the case of "no-frills" airlines
alternative flights or a refund may not be available. If your chosen alternative
costs more, you must pay the difference.
We aim to dispatch your travel documents 21 days prior to departure. If you
have not received your documents or have mislaid them you must inform us at
least 10 days prior to departure. Failure to do so may result in additional
charges as special arrangements will have to be made. Tickets and passes for
special events may be irreplaceable, and in the case of other documents there
may be additional charges for re-issue.
a) Package Holidays
The prices shown are correct at the time of publication. You will be
notified of any changes to these prices at the time of booking, and our website
will have the up to date price. We reserve the right to increase the price after
booking if any increase in price occurs in respect of: • (i)air fares or other
transport costs • (ii) taxes or duties payable, including new taxes introduced
by any government • (iii)adverse changes to currency exchange rates.
In all cases we will pay any increase that is less than 2% of your package
holiday cost, not including insurance premiums or amendment fees but increases
in excess of 2% will be payable by you. If the cost of your holiday increases by
more than 10% you may decide to cancel the holiday and have a full refund,
except for the insurance premiums or amendment fees paid after booking. If you
want to cancel you must tell us within 14 days of being advised of the increase.
In return we will not change the cost of your holiday within eight weeks of
departure. Where our costs fall by more than 2% after the package has been
bought we will pass onto you any benefit and reduced costs to ourselves as a
result of changes to the items listed above.
b) Other Travel Arrangements
You may pay your balance in full at any time up to 56 days before
departure, but until that time the price may be subject to change. We reserve
the right to pass on any increase resulting from surcharges imposed by suppliers
or exchange rate fluctuations. At present airlines, airports and government
bodies are regularly increasing their fees. Again, we reserve the right to pass
these charges on in full should they apply to your purchase.
When acting only as a booking agent, we have no liability whatsoever for any
aspect of the travel arrangements and accept no liability for any loss, personal
injury or death however incurred, except where caused by our own proven
We reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or to continue
dealing with you if your behavior is disruptive or threatening to our staff or
suppliers in the UK or abroad. Additionally, airline pilots have the right to
refuse to allow you to board an aircraft and if this occurs or we consider your
behavior to be unacceptable, your booking will be cancelled with immediate
effect and we shall have no further liability to you. If you are overseas, you
will be responsible for your own return home and that of any of your party. If
you or any person travelling with you causes damage or injury to any property or
person or cause a delay or diversion of any aircraft or other form of transport,
you agree to compensate us or the supplier affected for any losses and expenses
incurred, including legal expenses.
a) TICKET CONDITIONS
Your journey will be subject to the conditions of the independent
Suppliers concerned, copies of which can be obtained upon request. These ticket
conditions may therefore limit liability under International Conventions such as
the Athens, Warsaw and Montreal Conventions. When arranging these facilities for
you, we will rely on the terms of the carrier concerned and they will form part
of the contract with you. Within the EU the law grants rights to passengers who
suffer delay, denied boarding or cancellation of their flights in certain
circumstances. Full details of these rights are available at all EU airports and
are also available from your airline if you are affected. These rights are
against the airline and if you are delayed or denied boarding you will not be
entitled to any further compensation from us.
Please note that our prices include the airline basic baggage allowance, if
any, but many airlines Including all "no-frills" airlines now charge additional
fees for the carriage of baggage. These fees must be paid prior to departure of
your flight direct to the airline or to ourselves. Please ask for further
information in relation to your flight.
By making a reservation with us you agree to the use and disclosure of the
information you provide for the following purposes: to enable us to process your

purposes; to avoid fraud and to enable us to contact you by letter, telephone or
e-mail, SMS or any other technology we feel appropriate, with details of our
products or those of our suppliers. If you pay by Credit Card, then we may
disclose your payment and booking details (including those of your travelling
parties) to other companies who require these details in order to process your
payment, and / or if the company that issued your card fails to settle your
payment or requires a subsequent repayment. Calls may be recorded for training
and quality purposes. If you book via our website, or if you have chosen for us
to contact you via e-mail, we will communicate with you using the email address
you have provided to supply you with your travel documentation. We will assume
that your email address is correct and that you understand the risks associated

Lessons Learned About Automobiles
All about Brake Repairs Vehicles – be it a motorcycle, a van, an automobile, or a truck – require a considerable measure of upkeep every now and then. One of the most important aspects of repair is that of the brakes. Numerous organizations that offer auto repairs to clients – such as a Round Rock Brake Repair company – can be your best bet in keeping your car in tip-top shape contributing to a safe driving on your part.
Looking On The Bright Side of Vehicles
An enormous number of vehicular mischances are credited to issues identified with brakes, suffice to say that this part is one of the most critical in any vehicle that ought to be maintained accordingly. Regardless if you are the one who is driving the vehicle or a family member, or perhaps a close relative, it is important that your vehicle's brakes be maintained and properly kept to ensure that they work appropriately. A wise driver, no matter where he may be, would be very much aware of the need to have superbly operating brakes. At the end of the day, trust that the administrations offered by a Round Rock Brake Service industry are the one thing you need to help you look after your autos, helping you in keeping the streets safe for just about every pedestrian and commuter out there.
Learning The Secrets About Cars
One legitimate and trusted source in order for you to find the proprietor that would be perfect for your needs at the earliest opportunity is either, ask recommendations from a repairman themselves or find one on your own by asking around and doing a quick inquiry on the internet. Once you have made up your mind in hiring them, then a complete agreement as to the kind of repair administrations needed for your auto's brakes must be done; this ensures that you are guaranteed that you are conveying your auto to an acclaimed and trusted shop that will be able to offer you the best possible results. Unless you have fixed and repaired vehicles in the past, do not try to fix or repair anything in your car's parts all on your own unless you want to encounter any potential mishaps while on the road. Round Rock Brake Repair firms are quite proficient in supplanting a wide range of brake needs such as replacing of cushions, securing brake lines and giving superior-quality promoters too. Whereas there are also those commercial entities that are more than willing to offer any extras should the client ask for it, of course, they are all about providing good customer service anyhow so doing something that they do not normally do nor is it included in the regular services that they provide, is but a normal thing to expect.

Looks like the Monsterpocalypse won't be canceled after all my friends. As we reported last Friday, a bidding war had spun up over the film rights to the Monsterpocalypse board game from Privateer Press. Some massive Hollywood players that included the likes of Dreamworks, Sony, Warner Bros., and a mysterious fourth movie studio duked it out all weekend trying to secure the property and we now have a winner!
The Hollywood Reporter's sources are saying that Warner Bros. has won the bidding war and now owns the right to make 'Monsterpocalypse' with Fede Alvarez attached to co-write and direct. Of course, the super interesting bit in all of this is that Warner Bros. is also the studio in charge of the Godzilla-verse (along with Legendary pictures) and the Pacific Rim movies. This figuratively makes Warner Bros. the king of the giant monster movies! Obviously, we could speculate whether or not Warner Bros. is thinking about adding this franchise into either of their two existing giant monster universes, but I honestly would be perfectly happy with this staying its own thing.
The larger question to me is whether this marks a new interest in the genre overall or is just another exception to the rule. With multiple upcoming projects, not just on Warner Brother's slate, are we about to see a major rejuvenation of the atomic age of monster movies? That would be very exciting for fans everywhere, and as we've seen with the superhero genre, it just takes one great movie to start a major trend in Hollywood and audiences wallets alike.
Are you excited for Warner Bros. to take the reigns of an American giant monster empire? What do you hope they bring in from the game to the silver screen? Comment below and let us know your thoughts!

Over this past weekend I received some beyond exciting news (no, not Winter Storm Jonas). The Carolina Panthers are going to the Super Bowl!!! For those of you who know me, you know that I love the Panthers and am anything but a fair-weather fan. I still remember the last time they went to the Super Bowl, as if it were yesterday. I was a freshman in college and had been invited to watch the game with a group of friends in a dorm room down the hall. The Panthers were playing the Patriots, which unfortunately resulted in a loss. Despite the loss, the silver lining was that I was introduced to one of my closest friends at this party. Years later, we are still the best of friends and I am still a major Panthers fan! Naturally I plan to celebrate their achievement this year in a big way…by hosting a Super Bowl Party!!
I am still working on finalizing my menu for the party, but one thing I can say with certainty is that I plan on serving football-themed caprese skewers. There are so many heavy dishes that are traditionally served during a super bowl party (all delicious of course), making it a nice change to serve a bit of lighter fare. Here is how I make these delicious and festive skewers.
- 1 Pint Cherry Tomatoes (sliced in half crosswise)
- Fresh Basil
- Mini Fresh Mozzarella Balls (aka Ciliegine)
- Balsamic Glaze
- Using a Pick on Us Football Skewer, spear half of a tomato approximately 1 inch up the skewer
- Roll a medium leaf of basil (loosely in thirds) and skewer
- Then spear a piece of mozzarella, followed by another loosely rolled basil leaf and set skewers aside
- Drizzle balsamic glaze onto a serving platter and position the remaining tomato halves (flat side down) onto the platter
- Spear the caprese skewers into the tomato halves on the platter, garnish with a good olive oil, salt and pepper (if desired)
- Served and Enjoy!

text: VTI has observed seat belt use in a number of towns in Central Sweden since 1983. In the original selection of measuring sites, the emphasis was placed on heavily trafficked roundabouts with both through traffic and local traffic. The intention from the beginning was to study passenger cars with back seat passengers since it was expected that these would be affected by a seat belt law a few years later. The observations last year were made over a total of nine days in August-September 2005, approximately one day per measuring point. The total number of vehicles observed was over 50,000. Compared with previous years, the programme has been reduced by about 20%. When VTI commenced its measurement series in 1983, seat belt use by adult passengers in the back seat was a modest 10%. It increased in one jump to 60% when the law on seat belt use by adults in the car as a whole came into force on 1 July 1986. Today, more than 70% of all adult back seat passengers use a belt. The corresponding level for children in the back seat has been consistently about 10-15 percentage points higher. In 2005, 93% of all children in the back seat wore a seat belt. Over the whole observation period, 1983-2005, seat belt use by drivers and front seat passengers has been at a considerably higher and more uniform level. Already at the beginning of the measurement series, 84-86% of drivers and front seat passengers wore a belt. Today, the levels are 92-94%.

By Blanche Johnson, ,
Published October 24, 2017
"Property Brothers" star Jonathan Scott didn't want to hold back in his new memoir, "It Takes Two: Our Story."
The HGTV personality worked with his twin Drew Scott on the book, which hit shelves Sept. 5, but for Jonathan some of the revelations in the tell-all took on a more personal tone.
Jonathan Scott, who has been tight-lipped about his romantic past, opened up about his divorce from an airline-crew scheduler named Kelsey. The two wed in 2007, and though they had been together for more than six years when they got married, the pair called it quits two years later.
"I think when you are young and you don't really know what you want in life, you can commit to something and think at the time it is right," he told Fox News.
He said his failed union gave him a new outlook.
"It really gives you perspective," he said of marriage. "Anyone who has been through failed relationships — even people in successful relationships — understand that you gain perspective about what is important to you."
Though Scott, 39, has not spoken much about his divorce, he felt it was an important piece of the brothers' memoir.
"I never talked about my divorce before and anyone who has been through divorce before knows how painful that is," he revealed. "When I commit to something I commit 100 percent and knowing I failed and we just weren't meant to be together was difficult."
He wanted to share his tough experience with fans.
"We said if we were going to do a memoir we were only going to do it if it was authentic and it was honest and we did not cut anything out, and we committed to that," he told us. "The book shows the highs and the lows."
And Scott isn't dwelling on his divorce. He gushed to us about girlfriend Jacinta Kuznetsov.
"Jacinta and I are madly in love with each other. We are perfect for each other and stand each other's strengths and weaknesses. I've always said I don't regret anything as long as I have learned from it. I think the past relationships I've had were very important learning scenarios in my life."
He said even though he's been through a divorce, he's still a strong believer in marriage.
"There is no situation in the world where I would shun marriage just because I had one that didn't work," he said. "You can have two good people who are just not good for each other and I've never been the type of person to wallow in misery."
Aside from his relationship and recently released book, Scott has been busy working on the new HGTV spinoff "Property Brothers At Home: Drew's Honeymoon House." The show, which premieres Nov. 22, chronicles the brothers' journey to transform a home for Drew and fiancée Linda Phan.
"It's absolutely phenomenal; this is hands down one of my favorite designs of all time," he said. "It makes a difference too when it's for your brother and future sister-in-law; it's their very first home together. It means a lot and that's why I wanted to make sure we get it right."

More Info... by email
IT project management describes the entire process of planning, organizing, and managing an information technology (IT) project from beginning to end. This term is used to represent a special skill that can be obtained through post-secondary education and training. The project manager is responsible for leading a team of subject matter experts, software, infrastructure and hardware specialist to complete a specific task.
In information technology, the skills required for any type of project are distributed across several different roles. The depth and breadth of information required to be a professional in information technology prevents any one person from holding all the knowledge. The type of professional required varies depending on the project requirements, time lines, and complexity.
There are four major roles in IT project management: management, SMEs (subject matter experts), business analyst, and technical expertise. All four are required to add their contributions to the project, sharing knowledge and experience with the group to help achieve the common goal. The effectiveness of the team is determined by their ability to meet project milestones on time and to complete the project as required.
The project manager is responsible for controlling the budget, time line, resources, and communication. He is expected to meet with senior management or project sponsors to provide updates on the project status and communicate any decision that needs to be made during the project. The appropriate allocation of resources, managing staff and ensuring continual progress is made forms the bulk of the project manager's day.
SMEs are also known as business process owners. They are employed full time working in their area of expertise, and participate in the IT project management process to provide important information, guidance, and testing. They are usually the end user of the process, so it is very important that they are deeply involved in the project right at the beginning.
The business analyst plays a very important role in IT project management. They are responsible for documenting the current process, designing the proposed or re-engineered process, coordinating the changes, testing, training, and communication with the end users. A skilled business analyst is required to use business process modeling software and provide valuable insight into best practices and the options available, while supporting the project.
Technical expertise is a term used to describe a wide range of information technology professionals. This may include hardware, software, and infrastructure staff. It is the responsibility of the project manager to determine which resources are required during the project and to ensure they have all the information required to complete their tasks in an efficient, effective manner.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Pacific Standard: Mid-Year Impact Report (2018)
Story Package: Postcards From America
Our 10th anniversary project, "Postcards From America" (March/April 2018 issue), offered a state-by-state accounting of the most and least promising ideas and projects happening in each of the 50 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. territories. The contributors ranged from high-profile writers and public figures to activists in the trenches. The 52-piece package and the special micro-site that was custom built for it were shared widely among the literary and publishing community: by LitHub, Poets & Writers, The Common, Places Journal, and Nieman Lab. It was praised on Twitter by Anne-Marie Slaughter, chief executive officer of New America (160K followers); Lisa Lucas, executive director of the National Book Foundation (37.2K followers); Mathew Ingram of Columbia Journalism Review (86.2K followers); and Anne Helen Petersen of BuzzFeed (53.8K followers). And the design of the package in print and online was featured by the Society of Publication Designers. The package was celebrated for the diversity of voices that were featured, and the wide range of ideas and efforts described therein. The attention from the literary community is valuable to us, as we find that many of our most articulate writers and thinkers come have literary as well as journalistic backgrounds.
Prestigious Award Nomination, Alongside Nation's Top Reporting Talent
In April, Lois Parshley's "Editor in Exile" feature—a 2017 investigation into the erosion of press freedom in the Maldives, told through the lens of editor who was forced to flee the country—was named a Mirror Awards finalist in the profile category, alongside pieces at GQ and Vanity Fair by two of the most prominent magazine writers in the industry. Syracuse University's Mirror Awards are the most prestigious honor given for excellence in media reporting. Other finalists include the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times and The New Yorker's investigations into the conduct of Harvey Weinstein. Pacific Standard was the only small-budget publication nominated among the industry's giants.
Network Television Influence
Maya Dusenbery's research-backed reporting about gender bias in medicine—specifically, her look at inequities in the treatment of heart attacks in 2015—inspired an episode of ABC's Grey's Anatomy, which aired in February of 2018. Dusenbery wrote about the resulting episode that month, linking back to her previous work, and Grey's writer Elisabeth Finch publicly praised Dusenbery's reporting and analysis ("Mind/heart blown"), as well as publicly crediting Pacific Standard with influencing her thinking and work on the matter.
NPR Appearance
Columnist Michael White spoke with NPR's Phoenix science desk about the emerging technology of gene therapy. His appearance on air builds upon a strong track record of attention and praise from influencers, including Michael Moller, the director general of the United Nations.
State/Federal Government Citations
A Pacific Standard story on bureaucratic neglect at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, written by Francie Diep, was cited in a report by Senator Elizabeth Warren advocating for better worker protections. Specifically, our story was cited in the report's assessment of Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta (who oversees OSHA). Why This Matters: Warren is one the most impactful and recognizable politicians today. She's also been a leading advocate for workers' rights for the better part of a decade. It's encouraging to see that we're not just on her radar, but reporting on little-covered facets of otherwise major issues. (There's a reason she cited PS here and not, say, the New York Times: The Times never reported this story.)
A ProPublica story on racial bias in criminal risk scores, cross-posted on PSmag.com and written by Julia Angwin and Jeff Larson, was cited in letter co-written by Senator Corey Bookers and Brian Schatz imploring the Department of Justice to complete a study on the use of algorithmic risk assessment tools for determining prison terms and setting bail. Why This Matters: Booker has staked his political career on criminal justice reform. That he includes PS in anything related to the topic suggests we're a destination for astute criminal justice analysis—an especially impressive feat given the crowded field in this subject.
A Pacific Standard story on the efficacy of 12-step programs, written by Maia Szalavitz, was cited by a Pennsylvania Joint State Government Commission on opioid addiction treatment. Why This Matters: The war on opioid has taken the national spotlight, with Pennsylvania recognized as one of the worst-affected states in the entire nation. That PS has been able to have a direct legislative impact in a place like Pennsylvania speaks to the sustained and robust coverage we've been doing around the issue.
Print Feature Stories
Sabine Heinlein's cover story, "My Brother's Keeper" (February 2018 issue), reports on a radical law in Texas that allows accomplices to murder to receive the death penalty, and specifically about a developmentally disabled driver of a getaway car who has been on death row for over 20 years. When it published online, it was listed as the No. 1 article on the popular long-form website longreads.com, ranking above very strong essays as the most compelling story published by major outlets that week. This recognition shows that there is still a strong appetite among all kinds of readers for deeply reported work on topics as thorny as the death penalty, especially when that reporting is presented beautifully. The story was also recommended by the Marshall Project, Global Comment, the Texas After Violence Project, and The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, was featured on Digg (in the top spot) and on the Reddit Longreads channel, was shared on Facebook by the Southern Poverty Law Center (1.1 million likes), the National Association for Public Defense (12.7K likes), Texas Moratorium Network (2K likes), Equal Justice USA (5.4K likes), Death Penalty Action (1K likes), and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (7K likes), and was featured in The Sunday Longread weekly email round-up. The story was applauded by journalism organizations as well those working for criminal justice reform, which indicates that we publish outstanding journalism that is respected by practitioners in the field.
The PS Interview with Bryan Stevenson (February 2018 issue), titled "What Well-Meaning White People Need to Know About Race," was conceived as an intellectual primer for readers who think they already know how and why they should be sensitive to matters of race. It definitely struck a chord, and it's been our biggest long-form story of the year so far. It was widely shared on Twitter: by The Skoll Foundation (491K followers), The Open Society Foundation (242K followers), Rolling Stone's Jamil Smith (158K followers), The New Jim Crow (41.6K followers), LA Progressive (51.4K followers), Justice Democrats (70.4K followers), NYU Law School (40.2K followers), Robert Greenwald (19.3K followers), Marc Gunther (38.1K followers), ESPN's Joel Anderson (36.6K followers), the New York Public Library's Paul Holdengraber (15.5K followers). Facebook shares included: EmbraceRace (16K likes), Michelle Alexander (222K likes), Soka Performing Arts Center (5K Likes), Integrated Schools (1.6K likes), Bill Moyers (840K likes), and Brave New Films (556K likes). The share count for the story on our own website is 67.5K. Given our social change mission, maximizing readership is the primary goal for a story like this one, and the sharing and recommending on social media from thought leaders and professionals, both black and white, says that this story satisfied a need in the public conversation about race, and found a wide readership.
Gabriel Thompson's feature "The Red Pill" (March/April 2018) grappled with what a family can and should do when a loved one becomes radicalized and active in white supremacist circles. The story was recommended by the Southern Poverty Law Center, was featured on Digg, was shared on Twitter by Black Conservative (84.9K followers), New York magazine's Max Read (38.7K followers), Anti-Defamation League researcher Mark Pitcavage (10.7K followers), and Humberto Estrella (38.6K followers). The audio version of the story, produced by Audm, is one of the most played stories on the Audm audio platform. The author, along with Josh Damigo, the main source for the story, were interviewed for Oregon-based Jefferson Public Radio. The story's long life on Digg, its life as an audio story and a radio story, and the thoughtful responses it provoked from readers all indicate that this story centered on something in the culture that is prevalent, complicated, and not easily resolved.
Classroom Use
A Pacific Standard story on American diners, written by Max Ufberg, was included in the Fall 2017 syllabus for a creative non-fiction class at the University of Texas–Rio Grande Valley. Why This Matters: Given our close ties to research and academics, it's encouraging to see our work appear in more general education classes, not just niche journals.
Jonathon Free, a professor at Duke University, includes "'The Ocean Is Boiling': The Complete Oral History of the 1969 Santa Barbara Oil Spill," on the syllabus for his class on energy and society.
Direct Reader Feedback
This past February, we ran a story about mounting research showing that instant test strips help people use drugs more safely. Staff writer Francie Diep had first written about the strips in 2016. While speaking with a Johns Hopkins scientist for her February story, Francie learned that an assistant of hers had found our 2016 story, that it was the first United States-based news report they had seen about the strips, and that they subsequently used our data in their own work. Francie's story helped spread knowledge about this life-saving overdose-prevention technique from Vancouver, British Columbia, where it originated, to Baltimore, Maryland.
I wanted to reach out to thank you for your recent article on the use of fentanyl strips to prevent overdose and promote safer drug use. I work in harm reduction and am regularly frustrated by news coverage that sensationalizes death and pain without providing new or actionable information. The power of drug user organizing and the deep compassion and ingenuity they bring to this work should be elevated and modeled for others. It is also so disheartening to see writers use language that we know to be hurtful and counterproductive, particularly because people who use drugs have so few opportunities to speak out for themselves. Thank you for treating our work with respect and thoughtfulness.

Larry Bishop, a Buellton, California, resident and member of Safe Energy Now, linked to staff writer Kate Wheeling's coverage of a recent Oil Change International report on how oil production in California undercuts the state's efforts to combat climate change, in emails to all of the Santa Barbara County supervisors asking them to deny permits for new oil wells in the county. The county's planning commission is considering three projects that would drill over 750 new wells in north Santa Barbara County, and the board of supervisors is expected to make the final decision on appeal. The California Sun newsletter also featured this story on the top of the May 23rd edition.
Despite Santa Barbara's reputation as environmentally friendly, it's not at all a given that the supervisors will block the new projects. The county's budget is hurting after last year's wildfires and mudslides, and the oil companies are promising to bring a lot of money and more jobs to the county if these projects are approved:
I am very concerned about the health and environmental effects of the upcoming AERA and ERG proposed expansion of old oil fields. Squeezing the last bits of oil and gas out of these old fields has become much more dangerous and harmful with the ever expanding use of extreme extraction techniques. These include cyclic steam injection through the Santa Maria groundwater table and disposal of toxic oil wastewater into shallower "non-beneficial" aquifers that are adjacent to usable drinking water aquifers.
In addition to these health and safety hazards, expanding these dangerous oil extraction processes runs counter to California's legislated goal of minimizing the effect of climate change by reducing our production of fossil fuel. Please read the attached link below which details the contradiction of California both minimizing fossil fuel use and increasing fossil fuel production. Thank you for your attention to this vital health and safety issue.
Days after Hurricane Harvey made landfall, staff writer Francie Diep wrote about how non-English-speaking communities in Houston were faring. (One in five Houstonians report speaking English less than "very well.") After our story published, the founder of a medical translation service reached out over email and we connected the volunteers with the communities we were directly reporting on:
We just read your article that came out yesterday about immigrants. ... There is a large community of volunteers in place, with access to a phone system also, ready to assist victims. We're comprised of bilingual volunteers and professional interpreters, with the support of multiple agencies and system developers for the sole purpose of helping. This support has allowed us to successfully work in the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston for a few days now. … Would you be able to provide any contact information for the centers and the people you interviewed for your article? We want to lend a hand, but we have to get to the right people.

Attention to New D.C. Reporting Efforts
Since opening an office in the Watergate in early 2018, we've covered a number of stories that have benefited from our presence in Washington, D.C., including pieces on Facebook's new social science initiative, the development of a Freethought Caucus, and a National Academies panel examining whether there's a reproducibility crisis in climate science. People are paying attention. These stories have gained traction, with mentions by New York magazine's Daily Intelligencer, Retraction Watch, the Knight Foundation, the American Sociological Association, and JSTOR, among others.
Contributing Writers
David Perry has made consistent waves beyond our core readership: He represented Pacific Standard on the CBC to talk about Gerber's marketing of Down syndrome; he went on Ohio public radio t0 discuss the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA); his reporting in 2017 on Medicare and the ADA were must-reads in the disability community and beyond; he made the decision to appear on Fox Business to discuss the Second Amendment; in some cases, his discussions of #MeToo in the lit community broke new ground; and the national and regional teacher's unions disseminated his coverage of their strikes widely. His piece, "No, #MeToo Is Not a Witch Hunt," was widely cited and aggregated by journalists (e.g. Rebecca Solnit) and shared by prominent #MeToo advocates, including Rose McGowan herself. And "How White American Terrorists Are Radicalized," was cited by Clive Thompson, BoingBoing, Anil Dash, Piper Kerman of Orange Is the New Black, Jamelle Bouie, the Southern Policy Law Center, and many others.
Regular Web Aggregation
Pacific Standard stories frequently appear on the Aspen Institute's "Five Best Ideas of the Day" newsletter. Recent examples include Tom Jacobs' "Art Can Help Reduce Prejudice," Ashley Hackett's piece on how restorative justice can prevent violence, and Kate Wheeling on how taste buds may be the tiniest victims of the obesity epidemic.
The Washington Post's Plum Line blog finishes each day with a round-up of links, where Pacific Standard's political coverage often appears. Tom Jacobs was recently featured for his quick study write-up of new research showing that President Donald Trump may be doing long-term damage to the GOP's image.
Arts-oriented studies covered by Pacific Standard are regularly featured on Arts Journal, a 20-year-old aggregation site widely read by arts lovers and arts professionals.
The Department of Education Is Trying to Promote Native Language Learning
In March, we published a quick hit on the Department of Education's efforts to promote language learning, in both Native dialects and English, among Native Americans. The widely shared post shed light on an under-covered cultural issue—language loss in Native American communities—and highlighted a little-known aspect of the Department of Education's work that affects Native people nationwide. It was shared twice on social media by the Aspen Institute's Center for Native American Youth, a leading organization working on these issues—the exact sort of audience we want endorsing and benefiting from our coverage in this space.
Driver's Ed Is Becoming Harder for Poor Kids to Afford
Kathi Valeii's smart reported piece about the class barriers to a driver's license got picked up by a number of outlets, including a radio segment where Kai Ryssdal interviewed Kathi on Marketplace.
How Women's Studies Is Helping Rural Teens Fix Their Social Culture
Sarah Fuss Kessler's short culture scene from the May 2018 print edition was shared and retweeted widely, including by Arthur Chu and former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell.
A Look at the Education Labor Movements Emerging Across the Country
Our April round-up and analysis of the teacher strikes that have rocked public school districts across the country was recommended by The 74 Million, a well-respected non-profit education site, showing that the right outlets are paying attention to our education coverage.
Stalled Out: How Social Bias Is Segregating America's Bathrooms
A Know It All column from 2017 that traces the history of segregated restrooms, was cited in a Chicago Kent-Law Review article published in March of 2018, titled "Sick and Tired of Hearing About the Damn Bathrooms." Bathrooms have become a battleground for transgender rights, and courts throughout the United States have thus far been inconsistent in their decisions about whether or not Title IX's ban on sex discrimination applied to transgender students. The review article, which makes the case that it does, could influence the future of the debate in both public and legal spheres.
