Donation helping Southwest Virginia community colleges improve early childhood education
DANVILLE (WSLS 10) - Danville Community College is now able to focus on helping people already working in the child care industry earn a career studies certificate to help them provide better care to the children they work with.
"[It] gives them a baseline about child development and really helps them understand how to choose activities that are appropriate for children and interact with children in positive and thought-provoking ways," said Martha Tucker, Assoc. Professor of Early Childhood Care and Reading at DCC.
Currently in Virginia, you don't have to have an education in child care in order to be a child care provider.
But, Tucker says she's hopeful now that child care workers will be able to get the certificate for almost free. Those who don't already have an education in child care will take advantage of this opportunity.
"We probably have 50 to 60 people in the community who could benefit from this," Tucker said.
DCC will also reach out to high school students considering a career in child care.
Davenport Energy and First Piedmont Corporation CEO Ben Davenport and his wife just donated $1 million to the Virginia Community College System for this effort. It will be given to the community colleges in the areas his companies serve.
"People have basically invested in us by buying from us. We'd like to invest back in them," Davenport explained.
He and his wife have been involved in early childhood education across the state for years.
"We both have concluded the biggest thing that can be done to improve early childhood education is to have trained workers," emphasized Davenport.
Patrick Henry, New River, and Virginia Western Community Colleges will receive part of the money as well.

You should consider getting the following vaccinations prior to arriving:
Pollution in Contonou is notoriously high, if you suffer from asthma or respiratory problems you should seek medical advice before travelling to this area.

Heart like a Window,
Mouth like a Cliff
Sara Borjas is a Chicana, a pocha, and a Fresno poet. She earned a B.A. in English Literature from Fresno State and an M.F.A from University of California, Riverside. She holds fellowships from CantoMundo, the Postgraduate Writers' Conference at Vermont College of Fine Arts and Community of Writers at Squaw Valley. Borjas is the recipient of the 2014 Blue Mesa Poetry Prize and is a three-time Pushcart Prize nominee. Her poetry can be found in The Rumpus, The Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day Series, Ploughshares, and The Offing, amongst others. She lives in Los Angeles but stays rooted in Fresno.
About Heart like a Window, Mouth like a Cliff:
Heart Like a Window, Mouth like a Cliff is a transgressive, yet surprisingly tender confrontation of what it means to want to flee the thing you need most. The speaker struggles through cultural assimilation and the pressure to "act" Mexican while dreaming of the privileges of whiteness. Borjas holds cultural traditions accountable for the gendered denial of Chicanas to individuate and love deeply without allowing one's love to consume the self. This is nothing new. This is colonization working through relationships within Chicanx families—how we learn love and perform it, how we filter it though alcohol abuse—how ultimately, we oppress the people we love most. This collection simultaneously reveres and destroys nostalgia, slips out of the story after a party where the reader can find God "drunk and dreaming." Think golden oldiez meets the punk attitude of No Doubt. Think pochas sipping gin martinis in lowriders cruising down Who Gives a Fuck Boulevard.
In Heart Like a Window, Mouth Like a Cliff, Sara Borjas unearths subtext, syllables and terms for decolonization and identity; what it is to be Mexican, Xicana, Pocha, and even, poet. Yet, precisely because Borjas is a poet, familiar tropes and structures for these terms scatter at the feet of experience and living. Here, decolonization is not an undoing or expelling, so much as pulling close and centering in. It is intimate and feeling. And it happens now, in the daily, in this place, in Borjas' Fresno where there are oranges, walnuts, and grapes; chain link fences, neon signs, car horns; drinking, jokes, longing, confession, pride, desperation; above all, mother, father, and family. Even as the poet sits at the kitchen table to write a love poem, her mother's wooden blinds, her father's tomato plants, and "a wound like a whole city sprawled inside" remind her that she is "not allowed to forget where I came from." In Borjas' collection, I realize that understanding one's identity is not through the intellect nor even through poetry alone, but through painful, truthful, very real, and utterly tender love.Layli Long Soldier
Part honest autobiography and part lyrical ode to the complex California landscape, this book is an entrancing invitation. These full-throated poems let the reader stand fully in the speaker's world where trauma, familial ties, and a bond to home converge to form a triumphant debut.Ada Limón
Sara thinks about love then not-love, she examines the ashes, shadows, the nostalgia of nostalgia destroyed. "Bothering the neighborhoods," somewhere in the past, present, in who she is. Mother, father, brother and grandmother appear before her and argue as ghosts argue. Sara is the poem, of course. She drives away. It is the "driving away" from where you bask, that interests me, that will captivate you. This is a groundbreaker. Good-bye to fashionable old stuff, adios to the graspable that can never be touched. Come to the fearless. A brava-shaking collection.Juan Felipe Herrera
Sara Borjas' Heart Like a Window, Mouth Like a Cliff is fiercely particular. In poem after poem, Borjas explores her heritage, her family and herself with a near-pitiless eye. And it is that very eye that distinguishes her poems—the particularness of Borjas' vision arises from her final refusal to be pitiless. Everyone Borjas' eye sees, it sees with an overwhelming empathy that surpasses the empathy one encounters in all but the most generous poems. It is a testimony to, and a triumph of, an imagination informed by love.Shane McCrae

Hi friends,
I always look forward to November at Matthias. To have a whole month to look back with thanks is a great habit. Deliberately bringing to mind and giving thanks for the good gifts that God has given us is sadly so counter-intuitive to everyone and everything around us, particularly as the mania of Christmas heats up.
It was a particularly deep joy to spend Tuesday evening at the Thanksgiving Dinner. A lot of work went into compiling a string of videos from different people across ministry areas about things that they were thankful for. It really was a great night - there was a positivity and a genuine excitement that was, in itself a gift from God. We also had an opportunity to launch our Vision 2022. There are booklets available that outline both our new vision, our values, our key strategies, and the initiatives that we aim to pursue. I am going to re-do my presentation after our Sunday gatherings for anyone who missed out on Sunday night. Coming along will ensure that you get your Vision 2022 booklet! Or if you have had a chance to read the booklet, feel free to come and ask some questions.
This Sunday we will also be confronted with a pretty arresting story from Jesus in Luke 16:19-31. Please read it if you get a chance before Sunday.
I look forward to seeing you all then,
The report to the Parish re the present position of the Building Renewal program is attached.
Hi friends,
In growth group this morning we looked at 2 Samuel 6... a most interesting chapter in the context of David's crowning as king and entry into Jerusalem. It is well worth reading through before Sunday. In particular, I think the question worth asking is why this chapter is necessary. ie Why not just go from chapter 5 to chapter 7?
This Sunday, Archie Poulos will host a gifts workshop. It will be a great help as we work together and encourage each other to use our gifts. Please plan to stick around after morning church or to come in early if you are normally at Night Church. 11:30am in the Barnabas Centre. I've attached the preparatory work to complete before Sunday.
We have had a request this morning for accommodation help for a local refugee. Here is the message: 'A refugee working in Paddington needs accommodation for 6 - 7 months from the end of June. He is 41, single, a people person, self-sufficient, with very good English. He has worked for UNSW on a casual basis. For more information please ring/text Jenny on 0404893374, or email email@example.com'.
Finally, please remember that we are having a food drive over the month of June. If you are able to bring some non-perishable items to church on Sunday to contribute, that would be great.
I'm heading to Jerusalem tomorrow - please pray for the GAFCON gathering over the next week. Many of the brothers and sisters are coming from contexts where there is terrible persecution from within and without the church. They have suffered beatings and killings in some countries, and been sued and lost property and ministry positions in other countries for holding to the truths of the gospel... even from their own denomination. Please pray that there would be encouragement and refreshing as we gather around God's great gospel and encourage each other to hold firm to the gospel that is such good news, even in times of turmoil and challenge.
Grace and peace,
Dear friends,
World peace is something that everyone longs for. From beauty pageant queens to world leaders - all of us would love more peace! Why is so illusory? Why does any attempt to find it, or even get closer to it, fail so dismally? This Sunday, we'll think about the peace negotiations that went pear-shaped at the pool party in Gibeon. Please read ahead for Sunday: 2 Samuel 2:12-32.
Over the month of June, we will be reviewing the progress of Vision 2022. We will produce a 100 day review summary document for your prayers and consideration. Each Sunday we will also profile some of the initiatives for 2018. These include:
REACH - 3rd June - Mark Drama Information Session - 11:30am - in the Barnabas Centre
CONNECT - 10th June - Connect Lunches on Sunday and Monday - last chance to sign up this Sunday.
BUILD - 17th June - 'What are my gifts?' a workshop with Archie Poulos - in the Barnabas Centre
EQUIP - 24th June - profile of training and equipping people at Matthias
A new 'Care' team has been formed under the Equip pillar. They have partnered with Anglicare and Paddington Public School for a Food Drive for the month of June. More details to come… but please support this great initiative.
Finally, Phil Cummins from morning church is looking for a new home for his dog - a lovely pug called Earl. Phil has moved house and the new property is unsuitable for dogs. Phil reports that Earl is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped; he also needs some love and exercise (ie the pug!). Phil's details are on elvanto, or the office will be able to pass them on to you if you are interested. I'll try to attach a cute photo as well!
I look forward forward to seeing you on Sunday,

Welcome to our marquee planner. Have some fun and plan the layout of your own marquee.
Use the arrow keys and stretch the marquee out to the required size.
Drag and drop the required items onto the floorplan.
The tables of 10 are a 5ft6 diameter round table and allowing for movement of people, take up a space of 10ft x 10ft. For example, in a 30ft wide marquee you can have 3 of these table across the width. These are the most common size of tables used at formerly seated functions such as weddings.
Select the correct size of dance floor for your number of guests and drop this on the plan. It will expand to the scaled size.
You can also add a stage for the band. The general rule of thumb is one 8ft x 4ft stage block per band member.
Poseur tables are waist high tables and are great for guests to put their drinks down on especially when it is not a formerly seated function.
Once your plan is finished don't forget to print or save a screen shot of it.
We use a different software package at our office to provide you with a professional plan of the layout once we have done a site visit. So, feel free to have a go with our planner but do not worry if you are not successful.
Still need help with marquee hire in Surrey and surrounding areas, get in touch with us now on 01483 283 228 or fill in our contact us form.

Today is Tuesday. Today, I want to first, apologize to any of my readers who may be offended by my purposeful slip of the keyboard. I do not engage in profanity but I can think of no other way to describe the idiocy and sheer meanness of those who unfortunately affect our lives negatively.
I will from time to time tweet out these wtf moments as they come up and I am convinced they will.
I have a prison email account with a very dear man who also happens to be one of my son's friends. He is by far a funny, articulate and brilliant individual with whom I enjoy writing. He has admitted his crimes to me and I am not his judge; I am his friend.
He is frustrated and it pains him greatly that my son is in prison. He told me that no one believes Matt should be inside and they want him out. Yet, they are grateful that Matt is their friend. He fills their day with humor, encouragement and they truly care about him.
I can email him every day. I am not allowed to email my son who, in fact, is innocent. My son is not allowed email or have any extra phone minutes to talk to his parents.
If you don't curse, I can almost hear it.
Today, I wish you peace and warm hugs without any profanity..:)

The Cherokee Indians, a branch of the Iroquois nation, can trace their history in this region back more than a thousand years. Originally their society was based on hunting, trading, and agriculture. By the time European explorers and traders arrived, Cherokee lands covered a large part of what is now the southeastern United States.
The first European settlement in North Carolina is the famous Lost Colony of Roanoke Island that vanished sometime after 1587. North Carolina is the northern portion of the original 1629 land grant made by England's King Charles I, which was named in his honor (Carolus is Latin for Charles). North Carolina joined the Union in 1789 and is the 12th of the original 13 states. Today, North Carolina is a growing research center and banking state. The capital of the "Tar Heel State" is Raleigh, and the dogwood blossom is the state flower.

The Quality of the Hydronic Alternative System Was the Right Choice for Us
With our first heating season behind us in our new home and entering into our second, I felt compelled to reach out to you and express how pleased we are with the system Hydronic Alternatives provided. From our first meeting to design the system all the way through the installation you and your team were professional and extremely supportive of this installation. The recommendation of using a mixture of different types of radiant heating along with the flat panel radiators for the second floor bedrooms was spot on.
During our first heating season after our initial commissioning we found that the system required no adjustments, it just maintained a perfect level of comfort. The in slab system in the basement made for a great place to come in out of the cold with all the wet gear and by morning everything was dry and warm. What impressed us with the Thermal Board system was on the first floor, its quick response to the changing outdoor temperatures with little temperature swing of the space. This is unlike our radiant floor system in our previous home where we had some of those issues.
It is often that we have visitors to our home and all have commented about the comfort level of our home. They loved that fact that they could walk on the tile floors and their feet were warm, we also like that feature of the system. Controlling the heat in the guest bedrooms with the thermostats on the radiators worked out well as a way to save propane and set back the rooms not in use.
The quality of the Hydronic Alternative system was the right choice for us and we are thrilled with how little fuel we have used for the size of our home. We will and have recommended this system to others, thank you again for all the help.

His experience of building India's biggest marketplace at Flipkart, made him the right person to have along on our journey, to change the way fashion discovery is done."
Wooplr was founded in 2012 by Soumen Sarkar, Arjun Zacharia, Praveen Rajaretnam, and Ankit Sabharwal. It is a basically a content-driven marketplace where the consumers or users can upload their pictures in an outfit and others can engage with the picture by liking and following the user.
Ankit Nagori, who invested in wooplr said..
"Over the last one year, I have seen the evolution of Wooplr into a leading social commerce platform. Wooplr's focus on select top quality fashion brands is a step in the right direction. What excited me about Wooplr is the fact that they are building a fundamentally unique marketplace that combines the influencer-led format of shopping and the discovery of unique new brands. I see that brands are considerably changing their marketing strategies and influencers are becoming an important part of this new approach to reach out a young and dynamic audience."

Housed inside this building is a powerful steam engine which powers an enormous water pump. On open days you can still experience the heat of the boilers, smell the grease and coal, and see the power of the wave as tonnes of water are pumped up from the river.
The canal was filled with water after it drained out of the lead mines and round Arkwright's waterwheels. As the miners dug deeper, much to Arkwright's aggravation, they opened a new sough that bypassed the mill and the canal. In 1849 the pump house opened – and was hard at work to stop the boats grounding.
Demands on water supply created numerous disputes in the Valley- it was so much in demand. Mill owners downstream who relied on the water power from the Derwent insisted the pump was only in action from 8pm Saturday t0 8pm Sunday when their mills were shut.

The Santa Cruz Mountain region is unique in that it is a pure coastal wine region, or American Viticultural Area, in that all of its vineyards experience significant cooling effects from the Pacific Ocean fog and winds. Those on the Pacific side of the range are at the edge of where wine grapes can ripen sufficiently. The terroir is also quite steep and carries minimal soils. This AVA proves that great wines come from vines that have to struggle.
Winemaker Jim Schultz's love is Pinot Noir and he crafts several versions highlighting different grow sites, clones and
aging regimens.
The seaside city of Santa Cruz makes for a perfect base from which to explore. The two wineries featured here represent the area's true artisan vibe with small production, single-vineyard offerings grown and made in a no-compromise quality-first style.
Walking the foggy, cool and windy ridgeline just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean with owner/winemaker Jim Schultz, listening to him explain how he cleared and planted this land in 1996 and how in challenging years, he barely scratches out a ton of fruit per acre, one gets the feeling that Windy Oaks Estate's tagline, Fine Wines with a Sense of Place, is more than just marketing. He and wife Judy are here because they believe. They believe that the wines they want to make can only come from this type of terroir and by using classic winemaking practices. That's their mission no matter the cost.
But, I think we all know that if what's in the bottle doesn't deliver nobody really cares about the winemaker's dream. No worries here because Windy Oaks' Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, refined Syrah, Viognier, sparkling wines and Sauvignon Blanc deliver in spades. His love is Pinot Noir and he crafts several versions highlighting different grow sites, clones and aging regimens. It's a scenic 30-minute drive from downtown and I can assure you the wines and hospitality are worth the effort.
Proprietor/winemaker Jeff Emory took a part-time gig in the cellar at Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard more than four decades ago and never left. In that time, Emory has made his life's work to "walk a fine line between drinkability and age-ability." Although there are few Pinots in the lineup, Emory's heart is in making Old World-style — think lithe and elegant food wines — from little-known Spanish and Portuguese grapes such as Souzão, Verdelho, Touriga Nacional, Graciano and more. This is the place to go for lovers of earthy spicy Euro-style wine. As a bonus, it is in the heart of Surf City's bustling winery district on Ingalls Street. Emory and his knowledgeable, yet low-key, staff are full of wine love. Cheers.

A reputable medical alert company with superb service and strong family values
The leadership at Medical Care Alert is so confident in their service that they use it for the elderly in their own family. Now that's what you call standing behind your product. Owned by Medical Response Technologies, the company has earned a reputation for stellar service and highly-trained staff/responders. While it's a bit pricey and the options are few, working with a family-owned business that truly cares is priceless. See what our experts say in our Medical Care Alert review.
The Medical Care Alert service is based in Michigan and has two US-based monitoring centers in New York and California under the name American Response Technologies. This medical alarm company has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and is well-regarded on Angie's List. This is a family-owned company that uses their own service to keep their own loved ones safe, so they do everything in their power to ensure that they deliver quality services. They started their company in 2008 with DIY home security systems. Over time, they ended up moving into personal emergency response systems that were geared towards seniors' needs.
Your mobile medical alert button comes with AT&T wireless coverage that is available in 50 states. You don't need to have a cellphone on-hand for your device to work.
When someone needs to locate you quickly during an emergency, the mobile pendant uses GPS, Wi-Fi and cellular signals to provide your exact location.
When you add the AutoFALL option to your plan, the medical alert button can determine whether you have fallen and connect you with the medical monitoring center. You don't need to press the button for this function to work.
In the event that you need an EMT to come and help you, your designated contacts receive a text message alert so they know what's going on.
All you need to do to get started with your Medical Care Alert system is to plug it in, get the appropriate wires connected and activate your products. The medical alert button is readily available if you need to press it, and the one button activation makes it difficult to mess up.
You're well taken care of from the second you sign up with Medical Care Alert. You put together a Personal Profile that details vital information in the event of an emergency. The emergency responders who contact you when you press your alert button looks over your profile to ensure that you're getting the correct type of care. You set up an emergency list of people who get contacted when you have a medical alert.
Medical Care Alert will text and call the people on this list so that they do everything they can to get a response from people who can assist you. If emergency medical professionals need to head to your location, they know your medical conditions based on what you report in the Personal Profile. You can also provide information like the code to your lock box, if someone needs to access your home. All of the agents who answer your alerts are MT/EMD-certified.
Medical Care Alert offers an in-home risk-free trial of its services, with no long-term commitments and a price lock guarantee. You don't pay for activation fees or priority shipping either.
This service covers your entire home, so you're always protected anywhere you roam in the house. The base unit gives you a two-way speakerphone to communicate with the monitoring center, and the medical alert pendant keeps you safe during a medical emergency.
This plan is best for people with larger homes or yards, so you can go outside and not worry about whether you can send alerts. You can directly communicate with the monitoring center via the pendant that comes with this when you're out of the home.
If you frequently go farther away than your yard, this mobile medical alert plan uses AT&T cellular so you can go anywhere. GPS location services help emergency responders find you if you have an emergency away from home. This shower safe pendant gives you direct communication with the medical alert monitoring center, and it's shower safe.
You can add automatic fall detection with a $10 per month fee. When the pendant detects that you fell, it lets the monitoring center know so they can take appropriate action.
If you're dissatisfied with Medical Care Alert, you have two refund options. If you're within the 14-day trial period, then you get a full refund of the subscription fees, minus the shipping costs for the system. You may have additional deductions from the full amount if you don't return all of the equipment or you request a return shipping label. Additionally, you pay a $50 fee if you never tried to connect or test the system.
Are you interested in a refund outside of this trial period? You get a pro-rated refund based on the unused part of the subscription. The same deductions of the 14-day trial period apply to refunds after that time frame.
If you cancel before the system ships, you get a full refund of the subscription fees and any shipping fees that you paid. If you refuse this package during the delivery, you pay for the shipping costs and a $50 restocking fee.
The only situation that you don't receive a refund is if you send the system back but have damaged it through negligence or intentionally altered it. A $350 equipment fee is charged in this scenario and all of your subscription fees are forfeit.
The Home and Yard system comes with a base unit and a shower safe pendant. This 1,000-foot range pendant has a microphone and speakers, so you can connect directly with the monitoring center. Wear it as a necklace, clip it on your belt or put it on your wrist. You can also answer your home phone through the medical alert button.
You get a base unit that acts as a whole house, 2-way speakerphone with a 600-foot range. It operates with a modem or a landline phone jack, with an optional cellular system. The alert button is water resistant, so it can come in the shower and keep you safe from slips and falls.
This all-in-one device weights less than two ounces so you barely even notice that it's there. It lasts for 36 hours on battery and charges overnight. It's water resistant and you have several ways to wear it. This GPS enabled device adds a Track and Find portal to your service, which helps family members and caregivers locate you in an emergency.
This add-on is part of the Home & Away package. It's an extra medical alert button and a charging station for your all-in-one pendant. When you're charging your Home & Away device, you have an extra button to keep you safe and sound.
This handy piece of equipment stores extra keys securely. If you can't answer the door when you have a medical emergency, your caregivers, friends, family or emergency medical responders can get in to help you.
Medical Care Alert offers systems that are mid-range in price and offer a solid set of features. They might not venture into particularly innovative products or services, but they do a good job at delivering the basics and adding a few extra options.
We've made it easy to choose a medical alert system!

Stanley "Tookie" Williams Faces Execution This Year If Clemency Not Granted
October 11, 2005
On October 11th, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Stanley "Tookie" Williams' appeal to investigate the racism and discrimination at the heart of the case, as well as Tookie's innocence issues. The prosecutor in Tookie's original case removed all of the Black jurors from the jury, leaving an all-white jury to deliberate the case. During the trial, this prosecutor made racially-coded remarks during his closing argument, comparing Williams to a Bengal tiger in a zoo, and stating that a black community – South Central Los Angeles – was equivalent to the natural "habitat" of a Bengal Tiger.
The Supreme Court's refusal to investigate racism in this case establishes as "case law" for the nation the right for prosecutors to exclude jurors on the basis of race and to denigrate minority defendants in front of all-white juries. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals posited in 2002 that Tookie's prison writings, in which he renounces his former life as a gangster, could be grounds for the California governor to grant him clemency. If he is not granted clemency, he will be executed on December 13th.
Campaign to End the Death Penalty is sponsoring a "Voices from Death Row" speaking tour. It includes Tookie's friend and advocate, Barbara Becnel, and there were events in San Francisco and Berkeley on October 11th. The Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarians will be screening the movie "Redemption", which is about Tookie's life, on Friday, October 21st, at 7:00 pm, at 1924 Cedar St. at Bonita Ave. in Berkeley.

Surgeons at the Martini-Klinik, a private clinic of the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), have carried out the latest of 5,000 surgeries with the da Vinci robotic surgical system, a press release said Thursday. The system facilitates complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach and reducing the loss of blood. Surgeons at the Martini-Klinik, which counts among the world's largest prostate cancer clinics in terms of the numbers of operative procedures, have been using the system since 2007.
Prof. Dr. Alexander Haese, Chief Physician and Faculty Member of the Martini-Klinik, said: "We are delighted that this robot-assisted surgical technique has been established alongside open surgery techniques and that we have been able to perform surgeries on 5,000 patients with this method. No other centre has performed as many prostate surgeries. The Martini-Klinik is the world's largest prostate cancer clinic."
da Vinci surgical system
The state-of-the-art da Vinci surgical system is used in hospitals worldwide for minimal invasive surgery and requires only tiny incisions. The system consists of a surgeon's console and a patient-side cart with four interactive robotic arms. Three of the arms are for tools that hold objects, and can also act as scalpels, scissors, bovies or unipolar. The instruments' jointed-wrist design exceeds the human hand's natural range of motion; motion scaling and tremor reduction interpret and refine the surgeon's hand movements. The da Vinci system allows the surgeon to operate from a seat at the console, with eyes and hands positioned in line with the instruments and using the console to control the instruments and camera. The picture quality surpasses that of the human eye leading to more precise diagnoses. And so far, progress appears unlimited. Prof. Dr. Markus Graefen, Medical Director and Faculty Member of the Martin Klinik, explained: "The robot-assist prostatectomy is undergoing constant development."
Training centre for da Vinci surgical system
The Martini-Klinik now has three robot-assisted systems and performs around 1,000 operations every year. A team of ten surgeons operates on patients from all over the world with the da Vinci-System. In 2005, Martini-Klinik founded a pan-European training centre and has trained over 100 doctors so far on how to remove the prostate with the da Vinci system.

EPIP DC | A Message from the chapter Co-Chairs:
A message from Kelly Trop & Tyler Nickerson.
"We find ourselves in this political moment with more questions than answers. Our strategies need evaluation. Our policy goals need readjustment. The constituencies we support are more vulnerable than before. Many of us were already moving against the grain towards a more just and equitable society, and the path just got a lot tougher.
In many ways, the election cemented what we already knew: local actions and community are more important than ever to achieving deep impact. Local philanthropies' working together, as a DMV Region, will be even more critical and necessary. As a local sector, we must continue to find ways to move from independence to inter-dependence."

- The skip navigation is broken and a few other things.
- Brian will do some preliminary keyboard test, especially with Samigo because they put in a few fixes.
- There are a lot of Jiras to push. Brian can't write code fixes for them, so that will have to go to other people.
- The Jiras will need to be documented and brought to people's attention.
- Someone from the Longsite company has lead lot of the release team meeting and pushing a lot of the QA.
- Largely everyone else seems to be putting in efforts for release and QA.
- A page already exists that has the child pages of review results and sections of Jiras to push.
- Brian will make sure it's up to date and send e-mail with commentary.
- Brian will also send it out to QA, dev and Accessibility WG list.
Other Business
- So far, only one presentation has been approved for conference,state of accessibility for 2.9 and OAE.

Continuing to further its reputation as a gallery which bridges the gap between artists and collectors, Heist will soon be opening its latest exhibition – Origins – this fine art photography exhibition will feature some of the most interesting photographers in the world today, including Jimmy Nelson, Rankin and Massimo Listri amongst others.
The Origins exhibit will focus on the people and cultures of the world that have remained largely unchanged, despite the onslaught of modernity. As if preserved in aspic these cultures are eternal. The photographers involved have highlighted some true gems of human civilisation, across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa et al.
Too often contemporary photography looks to distort the world, to highlight only the detritus of humanity, which is why the Origins exhibit is something truly unique and noteworthy. There's no vomiting drunkards here, no blood soaked battlefield that forces us only to think of humanity in a negative way. The photographers have shown us the pride of humanity, the richness of culture in all its forms and confirming why man is the dominant animal on this earth.
There's an unsullied beauty on show in these photos, from man's architectural genius (Massimo Listri) to humanity's beneficial union with nature (Jimmy Nelson) There's also an undercurrent of sadness, because as we progress with technology, globalization etc, there's an alarming danger that as human beings we are losing touch with, not only, what makes us unique as individual cultures, but our love for and understanding of nature.
A lot of the countries where these cultures exist have bore the brunt of globalization, some to their benefit, others not so, and it's only a matter of time before each of these individual cultures is possibly consumed by it.
The Origins exhibit gives people the opportunity to both marvel at some aesthetically outstanding photography as well as think about what progress is doing to us as human beings. Also it will hopefully get people thinking of new and innovative ways in which progress can work with tradition rather than against it
