Could I be going through a midlife crisis?? NEVER! I am way too young to be midlife...or am I?? The last month has had so many changes going on I can hardly tell what I am doing from one day to the next. I have to keep checking my calendar to see what the heck I am up to for the day.
Really big change. I left bedside nursing and changed my work setting to this:
Fixed Wing Flight nurse for AirMed based in Rock Springs.
No I am not moving, just commuting
This will be my work view. Well, when I'm not crapping my pants trying to keep patients stable up in the air.
This is a picture I took in February when Al and I were taking off in Salt Lake City to go to Colorado. Airmed was behind us for take off. That is my patient care station. hahah
I applied a year ago to AirMed and the interview made me realize what I really needed to work on to pass the interview. Not even necessarily to do the job, but to impress upon the team that I could do a great job and work as a team and make decisions best for our patients. I took my CCRN test and accepted a job in the ER at the U in order to get the experience I need. Lucky for me all that experience, studying and strong desire to fly paid off and they hired me! I start this Monday. NOW, I will spend three months learning a lot of stuff I don't know so I can do my job well. I can't wait! I'm a nerd like that. I like the learning stuff. That or its my genetically predisposed need to be constantly moving and learning. (thanks dad and mom!)
The complete downside to that.
Leaving the ER. A short time there and I have had so much fun. The people that I have worked with have been so kind and taught me so much! I usually work at a job until I move onto something else or am just DONE with it. I feel like there were so many more shenanigans to experience!!! Thanks to everyone who was so awesome!
I also had to say farewell to the SICU. Luckily Julia (manager) will allow me to pick up extra shifts as needed and I will definitely be doing that. I am so emotionally and personally involved with the SI that some people are closer to me then family. I have so much pride in how far I have come as an ICU nurse and how awesome it is to work with such a great crew. I will miss coding a patient with my besties in the room and we are KICKING ass and taking names. Not easy to die in that unit. The only thing that helps a little is that they are going through some major changes and evolving enough that it's like moving on after a great party.
Who wouldn't want to work with these people??!!
Of course it's not all a party. Sometimes we have to get serious!
Then we grabbed Dr. Selzman, but we got him a decent chair.
I think he had been at the hospital maybe a month. He looks suspicious!
Marnell left the SICU in December 07, but will never be forgotten. She was super smart and a blast!
These are our emergency cardiac med boxes. We went through three the night before and I was just coming on. I hope Pharmacist Jeanie sees this and I can tell her.."I didn't open it!" Kyle should have been proud. We would break these open when we needed code meds but nothing else and that way we wouldn't break the code cart and charge the patient an extra thousand. Plus they were easier to keep stocked.
Wasn't the first or the last pair of shoes to be violated in the SICU. I was always kind of a freak about my shoes and would use shoe covers and all kinds of stuff to try and keep them clean.
I am pretty sure this is 2007 or early 2008. Just another great day in the SICU. Little did I know that they could add a few more machines in the next few years. Look - it's paper charting!!
I found this by my computer one day. Apparently someone wanted to have Jesus be my co-pilot for the day. I think he's averting his eyes. Everyone took cover to see if lightening would strike.
Oh look! New Bari beds. Lets see how many nurses we can get in it!!
I was always amazed when they left the chest open. This one, the tips of my fingers could feel his heart beat. I know, I'm not wearing gloves. My hands were super clean!!
When we first started doing bi-vads it was just so amazing. Yet again, the surgeons soon added another component to it and later on we were hooked up to this AND an ECMO machine.
In no way shape or form can I forget my Triad of Triads. Being a charge nurse in the SICU has been a lesson of trial and error when it comes to dealing with critical patients, logistics and SOCIAL politics and boundaries. After having to send an apology letter and giving many apologies for hurting someones feel goods I came up with my triad. Because sometimes you have to take the high road and act like the adult.
I've learned a lot!
Terri and I share a birthday week. So I brought us a cake and we had our own party.
See how we are??
Can you see where I could miss it all? I have had so much support from my friends there. When I had bad days as a single mother then Danielle would sense it and make me cry..then she would cry and then Tera would get all mad about why we were crying and she would start crying. I will appreciate those times forever and so lucky to still have Tera and Danielle counted as friends for life!
Memories of my first patient that was a fresh quadriplegic. He was fresh off his mission and I just bonded with him. His family was amazing. That night I had one of many calls from SLPD about this and that with a particular son. That night my patients mom and I sat in his room and cried together.
Becoming so close to a patients family that when she died I think they were comforting me as much as I was comforting them.
Laughing so hard I almost pee'd my pants so many times I can hardly count.
Watching the miracle that is medicine work. Sometimes not work. There is no magical answer it just is what it is.
Seeing Dr. Vargo's eyes in the OR during an especially tragic situation. He is the only surgeon that I still get nervous around and I still chase him down and ask him questions. He's no longer an attending in the SICU, but he's an excellent surgeon there. He also came to my rescue when a particular CT surgeon decided to give me the smackdown (yelling/swearing) in the dirty utility.
Sitting in a patients room with David. She was dying and her family couldn't be there, it was too much for them. We sat with her so she wouldn't die alone.
The three circle brain starter. When you turn three circles around in a room because you have no idea where to start it's all so crazy.
Crashing patient and the surgeon ripped off the ioban and stuck her hand in his chest and held the aorta that was bleeding. She sat on the bed and we wheeled them both up to emergency surgery. I always wondered were our dramatic music was at those times. It was just so surreal.
Talking to Dr. Kimball who I have come to respect so much as a friend and co-worker. Sometimes we are all just real people with real lives and just need someone who can understand. Plus I have been in a lot of critical patient situations with him. After a while when you are with the same doctor, it all becomes smooth and seamless.
Tera across the bed from me in a code. I have no idea why we have done so many together, but when my patient codes my adrenaline is through the roof and having Tera across from me brings my head back into the game.
Yelling at Dr. Barton. Not proud, but it was the end of a long frustrating day of trying to get someone to listen to me. It's ok, he yelled at me too once in a while.
I can't think of all the highlights and low lights right now. It makes me think I should start writing them down. What a great 8 years!
Thank you peeps!
HELLO AIRMED!! I'm jumping in with both feet and hoping to land safely..every time!! I can't wait to get to know the crew and learn to be as bad ass as they are. Because if I ever have to be transported by air they are the people that I want to do it!!!

Ravenna Mosaico, 2015
Friday, 6 October 2017 16:26:32 Europe/London
la Porziuncola - Mosaic installation by Felice Nittolo in Basilica San Giovanni Evangelista (Ravenna Mosaico, 2015)
Ravenna Mosaico, 2015
Many of you will already know Ravenna, Italy is home to many exquisite, ancient mosaic artworks. Referred to as the capital city of mosaics, Ravenna is also the site of an annual international mosaic festival Ravenna Mosaico. Currently in progress, this year the festival runs from October 10th to November 8th. The whole city, along with the International Association of Contemporary Mosaicists (AIMC) unites to celebrate the mosaic art form both past and present. Artists from around the world participate in numerous exhibitions hosted by galleries, museums and local businesses in traditional and non-traditional settings throughout Ravenna. Cafes, restaurants, art schools, private artist's studios, storefronts and community spaces all join forces in a gigantic celebration of the mosaic art form.

This year's festival programme is full of exhibitions, meetings and events. Some workshops are designed for the many professional artists who attend the festival while others allow families, adult hobbyists and children to explore the beauty of mosaic art making with professional instruction.
Read on to learn a bit more about specific exhibitions that are part of Ravenna Mosaica 2015. We are featuring here, only a few of the many fine exhibits to be viewed throughout the city over the next few weeks.
Works From Around the World
This year the Municipality of Ravenna, along with AIMC is hosting, Works From Around the World, an exhibition focusing on the exciting work of mosaic artists from around the world. A grouping of over 40 mosaic artworks will be displayed including artists from Italy, France, Germany, Lithuania, Norway, Egypt, Russia and Japan as well as a number of Israeli AIMC artists. Two artworks from this exhibition are featured below:
Monika Capol - La donna di Samburu (78x65x4) Bogdanova – Piccione (63x55x32)
Social Sofa
Recently we've featured blog articles about mosaic art in public places and focused on how well the mosaic art form lends itself to group oriented projects. We are particularly drawn to the Social Sofa exhibit at this year's festival which exemplifies the possibilities, benefits and growth this type of group endeavour can offer the project participants. The exhibit comes to Ravenna from a small Dutch community (based in Tilburg) and features a group of sofas created by community members dealing with unemployment and various disadvantages. Professional mosaic artists provided guidance to the group who took inspiration from a number of different internationally renowned artists including Vincent van Gogh and contemporary fashion designer, Paul Smith. The end result; a series of mosaicked sofas that once installed transform the neighborhood into an extension of all the private living rooms throughout the community.
Social Sofa, located at the Ravenna Art Museum (MAR), in the Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste (courtyard)
Inside the Church of San Giovanni Evangelista, the oldest basilica in Ravenna, festival visitors will encounter the installation of mosaic artist and sculptor, Felice Nittolo (pictured at the beginning of this article). The artist has placed three spheres inside the presbytery and has also created a separate sculptural presentation of the chapel itself. The chapel was added to the larger basilica in 1500 creating a church within a church. Two wooden beams pierce the artist's representational structure symbolizing strife within the church.Read More
Mosaic Art in Public Spaces
Friday, 6 October 2017 16:18:55 Europe/London
Mosaic Art in Public Spaces
The mosaic art form lends itself well to the public domain. From monumental sculptural installations to finely detailed smaller works that adorn window sills and decorate plazas; the durability of mosaic materials make this art form a common choice for artworks that are installed in public spaces. Mosaics have stood the test of time as witnessed in the famous Bibi Xanum Mosque in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
Clearly mosaic patterning has been employed here to enhance the beauty of this sacred building. In Uzbekistan the mosaic panelling of buildings is a historical tradition that has carried forward through time and is still evident in contemporary architecture.
When an earthquake struck the Uzbek city of Tashkent in 1966, many buildings were destroyed. A massive rebuilding of the city followed and new mosaic panelling was commissioned. Artists were employed to depict Uzbek cultural themes as well as Russian political ideology; a reflection of the times, the place and the individual creators themselves. The new Tashkent rose from the rubble of the old and the public art commissioned during the renewal has created a snapshot of the era.
Teams of construction workers from all over the Soviet Union were called in to participate. The buildings that resulted often reflected the interests and origins of the workers/artists assigned to the task. Now Russian cosmonauts float on the sides of buildings and Ukrainian text occasionally can be found on housing walls!
All public art eventually becomes part of the community's history. Many different segments of a society are involved in the process of bringing a single work of public art into reality, no matter the location. Community organizations, private and public funding agencies, local businesses, neighbourhood residents and artists are all involved in the process of commissioning art for public spaces.
The work chosen for a specific site may reflect the values a community holds dear. The plaque below sits along-side a staircase of 163 steps in the Golden Gates Neighbourhood of San Francisco in California. Many of the tiled pieces used on the risers of these steps were made by members of the community under the direction of two mosaic artists, Colette Crutcher and Aileen Barr. You can view pictures of the completed project here.
Landscapes are often transformed when artwork makes a public appearance. Australian artist, Deborah Halpern, uses a palette of vibrant colours when designing the whimsical giants that have become landmarks in the communities where they are installed. Perhaps most notable is the sculpture titled, Angel. She lists Picasso as one of her inspirational influences and his surreal influences are readily seen in this ambitious creature, which towers 10 metres above the ground, where it now sits on the Yarra Riverbank in Melbourne.

Halpern's work is loved by both children and adults. Another of her commissioned sculptures, Power of Community, stands solidly ensconced in Beauty Park, Frankston. It depicts a family, arms linked and smiling; a whimsical reflection of the people who frequent the location.

The Vatican Mosaics: Paintings for Eternity
Friday, 6 October 2017 16:18:03 Europe/London
If you've been lucky enough to visit Vatican City then you know that intricate and beautiful mosaics cover many of the floors and hallways as well as adorning walls and ceilings everywhere. They are a sight to behold and truly inspiring. Most would agree that the mosaics of St. Peter's Basilica are particularly stunning.

St. Peter's Basilica
The very first mosaics arrived and were installed at the Vatican in St. Peter's at the end of the 16th century. In 326 AD the first St. Peter's Basilica was consecrated. It was located over the spot where the martyred St. Peter was buried in 64 AD. Eventually a new Basilica was built to replace the original and was consecrated 1300 years later.
The interior of the spectacular St. Peter's Basilica is lavishly decorated with well over 28,000 mosaic pieces on view. Many of these mosaics are replicas of paintings that once adorned the walls. Over time the paintings have been damaged by mold due to uncontrolled humidity levels inside the church. Many believe that, "mosaics are paintings for eternity" because they are not easily damaged and will stand the test of time.
The Mosaic Studio of the Vatican
So, in keeping with this belief, the work of preserving, restoring and replicating the famous mosaics of St. Peter's Basilica continues in a small studio located next to the church, inside the Hospice of Santa Marsa.
This modest studio is the site where all of the mosaics of the Vatican are created. Here, about a dozen mosaic artists and restorers work on repairing older mosaics, creating new works and also making reproductions of the more famous artworks in the Vatican collection. Some of these reproductions are given as gifts to heads of state by the Pope and others are available for purchase by collectors. There's a gift shop right next to the workshop where Vatican visitors can purchase already completed mosaics … but you'd better come prepared to spend more than a few dollars. These mosaic artworks can command prices that range from $3,000 – $300,000 EU!
To learn more about the Vatican Mosaic Studio watch this video from Rome Reports:
Vatican Floor mosaics
Inside Vatican City beauty lies underfoot as well as on soaring ceilings and on cathedral walls. The floors of the Vatican are often intricately detailed and have their own stories to tell. Pictured below are two pavement mosaics; one from the Sala a Croce Greca (the Greek Cross Gallery) and the other in Sala Degli Animali (the Animal Gallery). These are just two of the museums established with the Vatican City to house the extensive Papal collections of art and cultural artifacts. Typically, the museum floors are decorated with mosaic pavements that reflect the artifacts housed within the individual museums.

A Brief History Of Mosaics
Friday, 6 October 2017 15:55:05 Europe/London
Here at Hobby Island Mosaics we're passionate about the craft of mosaic art. It isn't a recent phenomenon and we want everyone to appreciate this art form and where it came from, so we thought we'd spark some interest by giving you a brief overview of the history of mosaics…
What is a mosaic?
A mosaic is an image created by assembling small pieces of glass, ceramic, stone or other materials to form a picture, with these tesserae (or more commonly known as mosaic tiles) usually being roughly square in shape and coming in a whole range of colours to suit specific designs. A mosaic might be used in interior design schemes, it might have cultural significance or it could simply be a piece of decorative art in its own right, with patterns being as intricate and varied as you can imagine.
The origin of mosaics
Mosaics are thought to go back some 4,000 years or more, with the earliest known examples being Chinese. These carefully-arranged pebble mosaics were used mainly as pavements, being relatively unstructured in design despite the use of different coloured stones, whilst the Sumerians pushed terracotta cone-shaped rods into walls and pillars to create geometric patterns. Meanwhile, in Aztec culture, ceremonial objects and masks were adorned with precious stones, but it wasn't until around the fourth century BC when the Greeks raised the humble mosaic into an art form.
Mosaic designs became more and more intricate over the next few centuries with precise geometric patterns being created as well as highly detailed scenes of animals and people—stone tesserae became specifically manufactured with some pieces being just a few millimetres in size, meaning mosaics now had the ability to resemble intricate paintings. The Romans took this one step further with their mosaics being built into pavements, walls and even ceilings, with images of their gods, war depictions and scenes from everyday life as well as complex geometric patterns being commonplace. Techniques became refined and tesserae more varied, with them now being produced from pottery, terracotta, glass and even gold.
Mosaic as a craft
Mosaics have been popular in decoration and architecture ever since, but it's only relatively recently that this art form has turned into a crafting activity. These days anyone can have a go at creating a mosaic with everything from marble mosaic tiles to stunning iridescent tiles being available, offering far more than the traditional stone options of centuries gone by, and you can create anything from a piece of jewellery to a mirror surround depending on your preferences. If you want to get in on the action all you'll need is a suitable mosaic tile shop (such as us) to supply you with your materials and you're good to go, so what are you waiting for? Mosaics have an incredibly rich history and there's a reason they've stood the test of time, so make sure to take a look around for a few supplies and you could have a go at this most historic of art forms for yourself.Read More

Enrolling your child in child care away from you can be nerve-racking. It's normal as a parent to worry about your little one's well-being. One common concern is how well your child will nap in child care.
Here are some tips you can try to help your little one nap better:
Visit the Care Center Before Your Child is Enrolled
If you are just getting your little one into a childcare center, it's important to arrange for your baby to play, experience the new sounds, noises, and smells, and to just become familiar with the surroundings and caregivers.
If possible, leave your child there for a short period of time. Your child will be able to play and become familiar with being at the center without you. That's a great way to ensure a smooth and easy transition into sleeping outside of the home.
The world can be a scary place for small children. The key is routine and familiarization so that your child feels comfortable and can nap peacefully.
Know that Every Child is Different
It's good to know right off the bat that your child will likely have a different sleep schedule while attending childcare. It's important to understand that your child is in a new environment. Your childcare provider may use different methods for getting little ones to sleep.
It can even be helpful to educate yourself on the methods that they are using. Employ these methods at home before your child starts at the care center so that they are more comfortable.
Your child may have a more difficult time getting to sleep, as they are in a place with around ten other children. Or maybe they are using white noise machines that aren't being used at home. Perhaps they even sleep better in a noisy environment like daycare.
You would be surprised at how many parents actually report that their little ones sleep even better in the daycare environment than they do at home.
If your child has an easier time sleeping in one environment than another, duplicate it. If they have a white noise machine at home and it helps them fall asleep, consider talking with the daycare and asking them if they would be willing to obtain one. You may even suggest providing one from your home in order to help give your child the best possible experience.
Get Your Child into a Routine and Stick With it
Is your baby on a consistent nap schedule at home? Let your childcare providers know.
Keep communication with your care providers open, and do not be afraid to inform them of any schedules your child may keep. Most will be willing to keep to that routine, so long as you give them a heads up that your baby is on a comfortable and consistent routine.
Make sure that your care providers are well educated on your child's individual needs, and let them know about any changes in their routine that you may notice within the home. This will help you work together to keep your baby in the most comfortable and consistent setting possible.
Also feel free to let them know on a daily basis on when your child has woken up, and how long he/she typically stays awake in between napping if your child has a less consistent schedule, or even if they are just on a little different schedule than usual.
Replicate the Child Care's Nap Schedule at Home
If you are dealing with limited daycare options and they aren't willing to accommodate your home schedule, then you'll have to consider getting on their schedule at home. Talk to them and find out when nap times are.
If they don't differ too much from the routines already in place it shouldn't take too much work to adjust their schedule.
Have your Child Take Along a Familiar, Comforting Object
According to the experts at Busy Bees Childcare, making sure that your child has some sleep aids from home can make all the difference. It helps to ensure a comfortable and easy transition into sleeping in a daycare environment.
A familiar blanket, teddy bear, or pillow all make excellent choices of sleep aids from home. They can help children feel more comfortable and at ease in a new environment. It's even a good idea to designate a sleep aid from the home purely for the purpose of taking to the childcare center.
Bringing a little piece of home can be extremely impactful on your child's' ability to sleep, so if they have a special blanket or a favorite stuffed animal allow your child to take it with them. It could make all the difference between an easy time going down for a nap and a very long day for both you and your care providers.
Try these helpful tips to settle your little one in during nap times at the child care. They can really make the difference for a better and more peaceful nap.

-I've started a habit of grabbing the car keys as soon as my husband gets home from work and hitting the road. I need a little bit of a mental break, need to get out of the house. Get things done that are nigh impossible with two kids in tow.
Last night I didn't get home until almost midnight. Interestingly, I'm beginning to wonder if this habit looks maybe on the outside like I don't want to spend time with my husband or I don't enjoy spending time with my kids. Those things could't be further from the truth. Sometimes I just need a moment to breathe. A moment where no sticky toddler hands ruin the shirt I just bought.
This period in our lives where my kids are so small and so much in need of my love, my attention, my help, and my supervison - it's finite. In a few years, they'll both be too busy running about to have time for a cuddle in mom's lap. What is it that they say? "The days are long but the years are short"? I couldn't agree more. Two of my friends confessed they live for naptime - and I feel the same way. I've turned timing my children's naps into an art form, because I need the break in my day, too.
Over the last week, I've been listening to an audiobook (I'll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara). No, that's inaccurate. I've been devouring it. It's worked out really well, since I've been doing a lot of driving back and forth from our old place to our new place. But when I'm at home with the kids, I can't zone out and escape into my little true crime world. I guess I've decided that I'll be doing that escaping after my husband gets home.
When I'm driving in the car by myself, I catch myself gasping for a moment, thinking I've forgotten one of my kids somewhere along my route. Even when they're not in my care, when someone else is looking after them, I feel the weight of maternal responsibility. Also maybe that's just my anxiety - but either way, the feeling is inescapable. Of course, I am responsible for them.
Taking that small break, that short respite, has really made a difference in my patience level with my son. Having just a bit more tolerance has made me a better mom overall, I think. I know I wouldn't have that reserve of patience for him if I didn't get a moment to myself. A few hours where my children are being cared for by someone I trust. For a few moments, I'm the only one that needs me to do anything. No one is touching me or clawing at my nipple with razor sharp fingernails.
I'm sure there are parents who will judge me for needing that break, and that's their prerogative. Personally I don't think it's wise to feed into Mommy Wars. I'll never begrudge anyone who needs to let their hair down every once in a while. Grab your Aldi quarter and walk really slowly down each of the aisles. Do it twice if you want. I won't tell.

Windows 2000 Shutdown
Why would Windows 2k Professional take a minute or more to shutdown?
UI Designer
If the applications won't close, then it's because they're not responding to WM_QUERYENDSESSION Windows sends when Windows is shutting down. As for the "Shutting down windows" message, this could be because a service won't terminate?
Mickey Petersen
Is it shutting down completely or is it hibernating to disk? Have you checked the event log for any errors?

U.S. Foreign policy
Understanding the Failure of U.S. Foreign Policy: The Albright Doctrine
For Albright, war is just another foreign policy tool. One could send a diplomatic note, impose economic sanctions, or unleash murder and mayhem. No reason to treat the latter as anything special. Joining the U.S. military means putting your life at the disposal of Albright and her peers in The Blob. Unfortunately, the vagaries of U.S. foreign policy suggest that this mindset is not limited to any one person. Any president serious about taking a new foreign-policy direction must do more than drain the swamp. He or she must sideline The Blob.

General James Mattis deserves our respect and appreciation for his many years of service to our country, but as Secretary of Defense his departure is not to be feared, and should be viewed as an opportunity to undo the remaining vestiges of Obama's damaging influence on our military culture and to chart a new course in the war Islam has declared on the West.

Time for a reappraisal of all of the war guarantees this nation has issued since the beginning of the Cold War, to determine which, if any, still serve U.S. national interests in 2016. Alliances, after all, are the transmission belts of war. This is not isolationism. It is putting our country first, and staying out of other people's wars. It used to be called patriotism.

Whitlam minister Clyde Cameron dies
Long-serving federal Labor politician Clyde Cameron has died, aged 95.
Mr Cameron, a cabinet minister in the Whitlam government and member of parliament from 1949 to 1980, died at his Adelaide home.
The son of a Scottish shearer was the most influential South Australian Labor powerbroker during his time in politics and was a minister for immigration and labour.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has expressed sadness at the death of Clyde Cameron who he said was a leading light of the labour movement.
"From his early days in South Australia as a shearer, union organiser and industrial advocate, and throughout his parliamentary career, Clyde Cameron was dedicated to defending the interests of working people."
"Although his career was not without controversy, Clyde Cameron's passion and commitment for working men and women remained paramount.
"He will be sorely missed, particularly by those for whom he always stood so strongly," he said.
Clyde Cameron, who combined passionate idealism with ruthless manipulation, was the last of Labor's old-style giants.
Cameron was at the centre of most major Labor brawls of the 1950s and 1960s, almost always on the winning side. He feuded on a grand scale.
He was the architect of the reform of the Victorian branch of the ALP in 1970, a key to Gough Whitlam's 1972 victory; yet his relationship with Whitlam was ambivalent and he was embittered when he was forced to give up the one job in government he wanted - Labor minister.
Alan Reid, the leading political journalist of the time, said he was one of the very few who really understood how to manipulate the Labor machine.
Graham Freudenberg, the great Labor speechwriter, said he was unrelenting in his enmities, unswerving in his friendships and a wonderful ally in any hard fight.
Clyde Robert Cameron, who has died in Adelaide aged 95, was born at Murray Bridge, South Australia, on February 11, 1913.
He grew up on a small farm at Gawler. His father Robert was a shearer and strong unionist, but it was his mother Adelaide, an avid reader of left wing literature and a Quaker who believed Jesus was the world's first communist, who was the great influence.
Cameron went to Canberra as a left winger who really believed in Labor's socialist platform and as a much more savvy operator than most new MPs.
Cameron and Gough Whitlam - university-educated, erudite and with a huge ego - had little in common.
But gradually the ex-shearer recognised that Whitlam was Labor's best hope and he was a key supporter in Whitlam's drive to reform the federal executive and national conference.
Whitlam ensured his loyalty by making him shadow Labor minister and Cameron, to a large degree, delivered.
When Gough Whitlam's became prime minister in 1972 he sent Cameron a card saying: "To Clyde Cameron, a principal architect of victory."
At the first meeting of his cabinet Whitlam listed members' academic qualifications to show it was the best qualified Labor government ever, Cameron interjected: "What a relief, we wouldn't want any drongos here like Scullin and Chifley."
He threw the Commonwealth's weight behind equal pay for women, in the process promoting the career of Mary Gaudron, who became a friend and the first woman on the High Court.
He sponsored legal changes to the way unions conducted their affairs to try to clean out corruption and set up trade union training colleges.
Initially, he backed public service claims for better pay and conditions but later became disillusioned with what he saw as their greed. This led to his notorious jibe about public service "fat cats".
And he thought his introduction of flexitime was his one great blunder because it led to so much rorting.
In 1975, with the government on the skids, Whitlam forced Cameron to move from the labour portfolio to science and consumer affairs.
Cameron, shattered, embittered and suspecting treasury had got at Whitlam, said it was the worst day of his life. Five months later, he and the rest of the government were dismissed.
He stayed on in parliament until 1980, when a new career started.
An inveterate note taker and diary-keeper, he became a major Labor historian, writing several books, including a volume of diaries.
He was an enthusiast for the National Library of Australia's oral history collection, which he supported into his 90s.
The transcripts of his interviews - often with major figures from the other side of politics like Malcolm Fraser, Paul Hasluck, Garfield Barwick and John Gorton and many still embargoed - total about 15,500 pages and should be an historical treasure trove.

|Edmund Kean as Othello
Othello was a general in the Venetian Army. He was a Moor. His wife was Desdemona. During the course of the play, he becomes convinced that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio and, in the final act, kills her. (Belated spoiler alert.)
Historically, the part of Othello was played as a light-skinned Moor of Arab descent by a Caucasian in blackface. One of the most famous Victorian actors to play the role was Edmund Kean. In an 1833 performance at Theatre Royal in Covent Garden, Kean collapsed on the stage. A new Othello had to be found--and quickly. Son Charles Kean was also in the cast, and it was assumed that he would step into the role. Instead, African-American actor Ira Aldridge was brought in by the show's manager.
"Red Velvet" by Lolita Chakrabarti tells the story of how this historic event played out. The announcement that someone other than the younger Mr. Kean was given the role caused a bit of a stir among the cast. Most were not familiar with Mr. Aldridge's work. One actor had a friend who had acted with Aldridge, so was aware of Mr. Aldridge's color. (He rather gleefully kept this tidbit to himself.) Actress Ellen Tree, who would be playing opposite Aldridge as Desdemona, had heard of him, but did not know any personal details.
|Portrait of Ira Aldridge as Othello
by James Northcote
After Aldridge left the room, the conversation became heated. Ellen Tree was fine working with Aldridge, but did comment that "When I read 'black' in the reviews, I assumed it was the mood."
Charles Kean was much less sanguine. His view was that because Aldridge was black, playing the role of Othello wouldn't be acting; instead, he would just be letting his true nature be seen. "Acting is an art. Transformation is an art," he said. "My father, a small, physically challenged ageing man, to see him become a warrior Moor is an art, isn't it? People come to the theater to get away from reality. And...what I mean to say is...he will prevent them from escaping reality..."
Aldridge's performance as Othello was met with standing ovations from the audience. The critics, however, had a different response.
Another critic was reported to have said, "...at Covent Garden they have brought out a genuine n***r to act Othello. This gentleman is the colour of a new half penny, his hair is woolly, and his features, although African, are considerably humanized. But owing to the shape of his lips it is utterly impossible for him to pronounce English in a manner to satisfy even the unfastidious ears of the gallery."
After two nights, the show closed due to the political backlash. At the end of the play, we see Aldridge 30 years later preparing to play King Lear -- in white face.

We talked about the role of women in the theater. Britta noted that women had been acting onstage for a century by the time this event took place, including in "pants roles" (i.e., playing men.) Tree herself had been lauded for her performance as Romeo. Still, it was exciting for Tree's artistic opinion to be solicited by Aldridge.
And, of course, we touched on the overarching issue of racism, both on and off the stage. An interesting note is that students of theatre history, even those who study the Victorian period, rarely learn about Ira Aldridge. As the playwright notes, "His achievements had tragically slipped through the cracks of my theater history and Shakespearean studies, and it was as if he had never existed." This is despite the fact that Aldridge was internationally famous for his dramatic portrayals and helped translate Shakespearean plays into Russian, German and Polish. His accomplishments were not wholly unappreciated, however. Aldridge was awarded the Prussian Gold Medal for Arts and Sciences from King Frederick William III, the Golden Cross of Leopold from the Czar of Russia, and the Maltese Cross from Bern, Switzerland.
To return to "Othello," it was nearly 100 years before another black actor took on the part in London. Paul Robeson was cast in the role in 1930; he reprised the role on Broadway from 1943-1945. American film continued the tradition of casting Caucasian actors in the role of Othello as well, among them Orson Welles and Laurence Olivier. It wasn't until 1995 that a movie version came out with a black actor--Laurence Fishburne--in the role.
All in all, "Red Velvet" was a wholly satisfying evening of theater. Kudos to freeFall Theatre for bringing the production to our area.

Manufacturing and SPC Information
NW Analytics Blog
Let's Escape the Illusion of Control
Are many manufacturers kidding themselves? Do they believe those magic numbers that pop up in their dashboards give them the real process performance story? Doesn't that single value tell the complete tale?
Manufacturers create Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to better understand what is happening in their process. One of the most common, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), combines measures of availability, throughput and quality to provide a more comprehensive understanding of equipment or production line performance. However, a single OEE value provides very limited...
Extend the reach of Six Sigma and Lean
Manufacturing companies are always on the lookout for methods to improve performance and reduce waste. Currently, two favored programs are Six Sigma and Lean. Companies are minimizing waste with Lean initiatives and minimizing operational process or quality variation through initiatives such as Six Sigma.
In a recent MESA study, 35% of the respondents said they had a significant effort in Lean with an additional 50% claiming some implementation. For Six Sigma programs, 15% claimed significant implementation and an additional 42% some implementation.
And while Six Sigma and...
Keeping the recall from the door
Consider the lowly Class III recall. While overshadowed by the headline-grabbing, health-threatening Class I variety, the economic damage to your operations is anything but lowly.
On May 8, 2012 the State of Wisconsin announced that a large, big-brand processor paid the state $36,908.50 for 24 short-weight packages of franks and lunch meat – that's $3075.71 per package!
While surely an anomaly for this producer, this is also a prime example of what companies should consider as they look at project...
In Pursuit of Performance Excellence
The big promise of Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI) is that it will transform your company into a high-performance, knowledge-driven organization. And, when that happens, you will be more productive and profitable.
The Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) has shown this promise to be true. In their latest study, Pursuit of Performance Excellence: Business Success through Effective Plant Operations Metrics, they demonstrate that a major difference between companies that show superior profitability (...
Getting people and EMI systems on the same page
Our common industrial temptation is to focus on the "easy" engineering part of management systems while deferring the more difficult people part of incorporating the system into the daily work life. However, we need to give organization and workforce issues the same attention if we are to develop successful and sustainable manufacturing management systems.
The system needs to be easy to use and well enough embedded into company culture that it survives time and employee turnover. This is not just for our internal needs, but to meet commercial standards that define manufacturing...
Evolving EMI from a tech-driven project to a value-driven initiative
Industry analysts and the marketplace alike tell us that for a manufacturing company to prosper, it must incorporate Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI) into its management practices. As Pierfrancesco Manenti of IDC Manufacturing Insights says, "The basic productivity gains in manufacturing have been realized. The next level must be achieved through Manufacturing Intelligence."
Manufacturers have invested heavily in facilities, automation, and plant-floor systems to increase efficiencies and reduce costs, but it is apparent that more is needed. To reach the next...
Don't Leave Your Money on the Scale
Lagniappe may be a time honored tradition in New Orleans, but "give-away" (aka product overfill) is a major cost for food and other packaged consumer goods. Manufacturers are whipsawed between the economic drive to reduce package overfill and the risks of non-compliance with regulatory MAV standards and commercial contract specifications.
The solution to this problem is simple: minimize give-away and maximize profit by reducing fill variation and moving the fill target as close as possible to the lower spec limit. The article "...
The Yield and Efficiency Thief
Excessive start-up or changeover time increases production costs and overhead – all without adding a dollar of value. Ultimately, this non-productive time reduces yields, causes labor and equipment to be poorly utilized, and negatively impacts every element of OEE.
The application note, Startup Time – The Yield and Efficiency Thief, outlines a workable approach to monitoring the startup process and making informed decisions on how to improve performance and streamline the start-up and...
Back to Basics
It is very easy to focus on the glittering façade while giving scant attention to whether the foundation is sound and the framing is true. The same happens when we look at manufacturing decision support tools such as analytics and graphics-based notifications and reporting. It is too easy to assume that the data has been properly collected and handled so that we can make the analysis we need.
Data collection procedures and systems shape not only the accuracy of the analysis, but also what can be asked and reasonably answered. Therefore, it is worthwhile investing upfront effort when...
Food Quality and Safety Intertwined
In his recent article "Striking the right balance between safety and quality", Kevin Higgins, the Senior Editor at Food Engineering, wrote about the interconnection between quality and safety programs and interviewed several people in the industry. Although most understood quality in this context implied process management and meeting specifications, there were some that discussed quality in the product grade sense. That misperception complicates the effort to develop and...

When her mother Jocelyn goes missing, Clary learns that the event is connected to the conflict between the Shadowhunters and their enemies. She then enters the Shadowhunter fold and there she finds that she also is a Shadowhunter. Her mother had paid the warlock Magnus Bane to put a block in her head so she could not remember parts of the Shadow World even moments after she sees it.

DOWNLOAD: Complaints Procedure DOWNLOAD: Complaints Form 1 Scope 1.1 A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction that requires a response from the Academy. This procedure deals with such complaints if made by a student, a parent or other external stakeholder, except that there are separate appeals procedures for a parent dissatisfied with a decision regarding either the admission or the exclusion of their child and for appeals against the grade awarded to their child in an external examination. 1.2 There are also separate procedures to deal with staff complaints. These include the Grievance Procedure for a complaint by an employee of unfair treatment, the Harassment Procedure for an employee complaining of bullying or intimidation, the Disciplinary Procedure for an employee complaining about the conduct of another member of staff and the Whistle Blowing Procedure for an unresolved allegation of institutional malpractice. 2 Principles 2.1 Informal queries and complaints should be taken up directly with the relevant member of staff either verbally or in writing. Formal complaints should be addressed to the Principal in writing. 2.2 All complaints will be investigated and dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible. The length of the period will vary with the gravity and complexity of the complaint. The Academy aims to complete investigations and notify the complainant of the outcome within six working days whenever possible. Where this is not possible, the complainant will be kept informed of progress on a weekly basis. 2.3 The aim is always to secure the resolution of the complaint to the satisfaction of the complainant if possible. 3 Representation 3.1. At any meeting or hearing to which the complainant is invited, the complainant may be accompanied by a friend, colleague or other representative. In this case, the complainant should make their own arrangements for such representation. The representative may ask questions, confer with the complainant and make summary statements but may not answer questions on behalf of the complainant. 4 Recording 4.1 The Principal will acknowledge receipt of a written complaint within three working days. 4.2 The complaint will be recorded, together with the outcome and reasons for the outcome. The complainant will be informed of the outcome in writing, together with their entitlement to appeal the outcome. 4.3 Where the complaint is upheld, any action to be taken by the Academy in response will also be recorded. 5 Informal Procedure 5.1 The Principal will normally direct the complainant to the most appropriate member of staff to deal with it informally. If the complainant indicates that they would have difficulty discussing the complaint with this member of staff, the Principal may direct them to another member of staff. Similarly, if the most appropriate member of staff feels they would have difficulty in dealing with the complaint objectively, the Principal may direct the complainant to another member of staff. 5.2 In certain circumstances, the Principal may instead choose to deal with the complaint informally in person. 5.3 If the complaint has been made in writing, the Principal may choose to treat it as a formal complaint and invoke the formal procedure. 5.4 If the complaint has been made to the Chair of Governors in the first instance, he or she will refer the complaint to the Principal. However, if the complaint concerns the Principal and has already been taken up with the Principal without being resolved, the complaint must be made in writing to the Chair using the Complaint Form (see Appendix A). The Chair will then invoke the formal procedure. 5.5 The member of staff to whom the complainant is referred will carry out an investigation and decide on any appropriate action. The complainant and the Principal will be informed of the conclusions drawn from the investigation and action to be taken, together with details of how to make a formal complaint if they remain dissatisfied. 5.6 Possible outcomes include:
i. complaint resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant;; ii. complaint not resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant; iii. complaint dealt with under another procedure;
6 Formal Procedure 6.1 The Principal will ensure the complaint is investigated fully. The Principal may delegate responsibility for conducting the investigation to another member of staff. 6.2 Where the complaint concerns the Principal, the Principal will inform the complainant in writing that they should send a completed Complaint Form to the Chair of Governors, who will then take the place of the Principal throughout the formal procedure. 6.3 The Principal will review all the information and discuss the findings with the complainant with the aim of resolving the complaint to the satisfaction of the complainant. 6.4 The Principal will decide on the outcome and inform the complainant in writing of the decision, together with details of how to appeal against the decision if they remain dissatisfied. 6.5 Possible outcomes include:
iv. complaint withdrawn; v. complaint dismissed; vi. complaint dealt with under another procedure; vii. complaint upheld.
7 Appeal 7.1 If the complainant remains dissatisfied, they should send a completed Complaint Appeal Form (see Appendix B) to the Chair of Governors. 7.2 The Chair may be able to resolve the complaint informally, with the result that the complainant withdraws their appeal. 7.3 If this is not possible, the Chair will convene an appeal hearing by a Governors' Appeals Committee within ten working days of receipt of the Appeal Form. 8 Appeal Hearing 8.1 The appeal will be heard by a Governors' Appeal Committee comprising at least three governors, one of whom will act as Chair of the hearing. The Committee may not include the Chair of Governors, an Academy employee or a Governor who has had a prior involvement in the complaint or in the incident to which the complaint refers. 8.2 The Appeal Committee will decide whether or not the outcome of the formal procedure was correct. Accordingly, the respondent will be the person who made that decision; that is, either the Principal or the Chair of Governors. 8.3 The Appeal Committee Chair will decide the procedure to be followed, ensuring that:
i. the remit of the Committee is explained to the parties and each party has the opportunity of putting their case without undue interruption; ii. members of the Committee are objective and open minded, and act independently; iii. the complainant and any others who may not be used to speaking at such a hearing are put at ease; iv. the hearing is conducted in an informal though clearly structured manner with each party treating the other with respect and courtesy; v. each side is given the opportunity to state their case and to ask questions; vi. any written material is seen by all parties. If a new issue arises all parties should be given the opportunity to consider and comment on it; vii. any witnesses are only required to attend for the part of the hearing in which they give their evidence; viii. the issues are addressed; ix. key findings of fact are made.
8.4 The hearing should generally proceed as follows:
i. introductions and introductory comments from the Committee Chair; ii. the complainant explains the complaint, followed by questions; iii. any witnesses to support the complaint give evidence and are questioned; iv. the respondent explains the outcome of the formal procedure, and briefly describes the preceding informal procedure if applicable, followed by questions; v. any witnesses to support the respondent give evidence and are questioned; vi. the complainant sums up; vii. the respondent sums up; viii. with the exception of the Committee members and any independent adviser they may have, all persons withdraw while the Committee reviews the evidence and decides the outcome; ix. the complainant and the respondent are informed of the decision.
8.5 The Appeals Committee may:
i. dismiss the complaint in whole or in part; ii. uphold the complaint in whole or in part; iii. decide on any further action to be taken; iv. If appropriate, recommend changes to the Academy's systems or procedures to ensure that problems of a similar nature do not recur.
8.6 The complainant and the Principal will be informed in writing within five days of the outcome of the hearing, the reasons for it and any recommendations for changes to systems or procedures, and that the decision is final. 9 Record Keeping 9.1 Accurate and contemporaneous records should be kept throughout the process, including whether the complaint was resolved at the informal, formal or appeal stage. 9.2 Records should be held in a secure and confidential manner. 10 Monitoring, Evaluation and Review 10.1 The Governing Body will review this procedure within two years and assess its implementation and effectiveness.

Duterte to jeepney drivers, operators: Modernize by year-end or get out
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – President Rodrigo Duterte warned jeepney operators and drivers he would drag away their jeepneys if they fail to comply with the government's public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program by the end of the year.
"January 1, if you don't modernize, get out," said Duterte on Tuesday, October 17, in Naga City.
"I will give you until the end of the month or until the end of the year. Sumunod kayo kasi, January 1, 'pag may makita akong jeep diyan na hindi nakarehistro, guguyurin ko 'yan sa harap ninyo (You follow because by January 1, if I still see an unregistered jeep, I will have it dragged away in front of you)," he threatened.
He scoffed at criticism from the Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (Piston) and leftist groups that the PUV modernization program is anti-poor.
"Mahirap kayo? Putang ina, magtiis kayo sa hirap at gutom, wala akong pakialam (You're poor? Son of a bitch, suffer hardship and hunger, I don't care). It's the majority of the Filipino people. Huwag ninyo ipasubo ang tao (Don't endanger the public)," said Duterte.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) previously addressed the same criticism by saying the government is offering a "generous" loan program to help jeepney drivers and operators purchase new vehicles. (READ: Tugade calls jeepney drivers on strike 'selfish, small-minded')
Earlier that day, in Marawi City, Duterte blasted Piston for "poisoning" the public by opposing the PUV modernization program which is designed to lessen air pollution caused by old vehicles.
"You Piston, you know that you are poisioning the people. 2030, one-third of Filipinos, mostly poor, die of lung cancer because you don't want to fix your engines," said Duterte in a mix of English and Filipino.
He also pointed out that a lot of accidents involving PUVs typically stem from faulty brakes and are thus the consequence of the continued use of vehicles that may no longer be road-worthy.
Duterte is treating the transport strike as a "rebellion," claiming Piston, Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), and other groups participating in the strike are mere "legal fronts" of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).
"It's one big conspiracy but they are at the same time, all of them, are committing right now, rebellion," said the President.
Nevertheless, he said they can stage monthly demonstrations to air their grievances.
Piston earlier threatened to hold monthly strikes if Duterte does not grant their request for a dialogue with him. – Rappler.com
