Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
One thing that amazes me most about our forefathers is how much they sacrificed to attain freedom. They gave their homes, their money, their time, and many their positions of leadership so that they could have an opportunity at freedom. Their example goes before us even today as a shining example of what it takes to achieve and keep freedom. Whether it was Paul Revere, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, or one of hundreds of others, they gave so that freedom could come to this new land called America.
The freedoms we enjoy today are intact because the continued sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of other men and women. They left their families and friends to serve this nation in the air, on the land and the sea. Many of them not only sacrificed the comforts of home, but also ultimately sacrificed their lives. What a commitment they made when they determined to defend the freedom we enjoy in this land.
But for some reason we have made this time more about fireworks than the works of past generations. We have made it more about time off than time given. We have made it more about where we're going than where those before us have been. It is difficult to say when the digression started but there is little doubt that we are not where we should be in regard to this time.
America needs to find its way back to God. We struggle with the sin of pride. We are proud of what we have and what we've done. Prov. 16:18 tells us that '..pride goes before destruction.' Even more succinct than that is what is said in Psalm 9:17. Following a time of prayer for God's justice, David says, "The wicked will return to Sheol, even all the nations who forget God."
The writer of Hebrews addresses those who have fallen away, but it is what is said in Hebrews 6:9-12 that we need to hear. 9 "But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. 10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."
I believe that there are better things for us that will go hand in hand with the salvation that we have in Christ Jesus. Yet we must turn our hearts toward God, honoring Him in all we do. I believe as we surrender ourselves, God will once again be able to use us to not only reach a lost world, but to lift up those who have fallen and bring restoration to those in need.
This past Sunday morning I called our church family to prayer for our nation and its leaders. Those who are in positions of leadership in our nation need to hear from God and follow Him. I believe it is time for us to get back to the One who can bring our nation to where it needs to be.
As we come to this Independence Day, I would urge you to spend time considering what all has been given, sacrificed, and surrendered so you can experience the freedom you have. I would also urge you to take time to pray for our President, Vice President as well as all those who are in positions of leadership.
Pray for our troops currently serving, our nation, state, and city. We must never forget the sacrifices that have been made to protect the freedoms we enjoy. We must never forget the commitments that were made by men and women to give all they were to guard against those who would seek to take that freedom away.
Pray for America and have a blessed Independence Day.
JESUS, JESUS, JESUS, there IS something about that name!!
Christ only, always,
Bro. Paul

You want happy "here's the weekend" music? How about a collection of Beatles songs the Muppets covered.
All my favourites are in there, including Floyd's cover of George Harrison, She Loves You and the infamous Letter B song. Had over to Top Hat Sasquatch for the old classics, right after the newest version of the theme song.

|The Deftones, Live at Brixton Academy
I get a little tired of these things.
He was always a self-possessed chap but still, I could only marvel as I often watched him coolly chatting away to the owner of the place—Simon Parkes.
Parkes was famous among music-loving Londoners, not only because he owned and ran the Academy (ably assisted by his Rastafarian second-in-command Johnny Lawes, another London music scene legend I also came to know through Rupert) but because he did so despite having only one arm (as a result of his mother being prescribed and using the scandalously under-tested drug Thalidomide during pregnancy to combat morning sickness).
His hair-raising new memoir, Live at the Brixton Academy, which I inhaled in a two-day binge-read, tackles the issue of his "disability" (I use the quotation marks because he does, writing, "I was certainly never, ever, allowed to consider myself 'disabled'") in the first pages. The book begins with a confrontation with a gang of bullies at his new school, one of whom calls him 'a one-armed spastic'.
I will grant Parkes the right to tell his story but the Brixton Academy was just a venue for music. Parkes didn't create his own music label. He didn't "break" anyone as an artist from what I can gather. He simply caught a hold of the need for London to have a venue that could seat five thousand people--not so much a club and definitely not a soccer stadium. This is what a businessman does, and that doesn't make Parkes an actual piece of music history. He was no different than the guy who made the headphone jack on the iPod--part of what sold music to people without really doing anything else.
So, if a guy got lucky and figured out how to sell bands that were in that middle range between obscure and huge, so what? He made his money, he dumped the venue when he felt he needed to, and that's that.

I spent many of my formative years in the Texas panhandle in or around Amarillo. A fact which I believe should entitle me to two "get out of jail free" cards and at least a modicum of sympathy.
There were a great many things about this environment which I found inexplicable, and the people therein were almost completely inexplicable. But I want to focus on one thing here.
When I was a second or third grader and had begun to read, I started taking an interest in shop signs and graffiti. The signs were pretty easy to make out. As to the meaning of the text, even if I was unfamiliar with a given word, I was frequently helped to understanding by an accompanying illustration. Thus, if a sign said "Automotive Repair" I might puzzle over the first word, but the picture of a nice man standing beside a gleaming convertible, clutching a large wrench and beaming at me would help to clarify things.
(These "Automotive Repair" signs were less common than you might expect. Such shops usually declared themselves simply with the word "Garage", or somewhat confusingly as "Body Shops." I used to wonder who got their bodies at these places. I had always been under the impression that bodies were a sort of one-to-a-person thing, and that you were sort of stuck forever with the one you were born with. Eventually I asked some grown-up about this and was given a satisfactory, if somewhat boring, explanation.)
Graffiti was not always so easy. One word in particular was rarely accompanied by helpful illustrative clues. Even when there were pictures, they did not tip me off as to the meaning of the word.
All the adults appeared not to see it. Or, at least they pretended not too. All the kids I knew either ignored it or snickered at it. Some even dared to whisper it. But no one offered me a clue as to its meaning, and not wishing to seem stupid, I did not ask. I was a sheltered child. The crude anatomical illustrations which sometimes appeared with the mystery word were completely meaningless to me. And so I lived for some time in darkness and was not initiated into the cult of the F-word for some time.
There was another word which appeared on walls and fences in the area. This word I could readily read, but could never understand why it produced the same effect as the F-word. The word was "bone," and it was universally written above or below a drawing of a doggie-bone. This was really mystifying. What was up with people about bones? Actual bones never produced myopia in adults or covert giggling in children. Bones were simply scraped off of plates into the garbage or flung to begging canines.
I cannot remember exactly when the significance of "bone" was revealed to me. But I suspect that it came along with my enlightenment about "the birds and the bees." I still think it's pretty stupid. I mean, that simplistic rendering of an erect penis that appeared occasionally with the words "bone" or "fuck" is pretty silly when you consider that men (and horses, even stud horses) don't have a bone (a.k.a. baculum), in their penises. A great many other mammals do. Dogs and walruses do. Carnivores like lions tigers and bears, (Oh my!) do. Rats and mice have 'em – but not bunnies. And lots of primates do - but not humans. Men have to get by with just blood-filled spongy tissue. Elephants, ungulates and cetaceans don't have a baculum. (Interestingly, the female equivalent of the baculum is the os clitoridis – a bone in the clitoris.) Oh, go look it up, won't you?
The baculums (or bacula, for those of you who care,) of certain sea mammals such as seals, walruses and sea lions are called oosik, and are made into lots of decorative items like knife handles. You can see them HERE
A bull's "pizzle" (no bone – they don't have 'em) can be dried, cured and bent into a dandy walking stick like these: HERE
A bull's "pizzle" (no bone – they don't have 'em) can be dried, cured and bent into a dandy walking stick like these: HERE
Or they can just be dried and sold as chewies for your dog, the revelation of which fact seems to horrify some of my friends. Men especially seem to find this disturbing. But the dogs all seem to think "bully sticks" are just dandy – no bones about it.

Deal Anger and Aggression in Kids with Love
News of teenagers getting violent and shooting with anger or throwing tantrums on others is getting published on various mass communication mediums. Anger Management Issue has become one of the most serious issue in our society as its impacting our kids and ultimately the future generation.
Being a parent is not a tough job but being a parent to an angry child is really a very responsible job. A child shows aggressive behaviour not just casually as there is always some reason behind it. Some kids are aggressive and some are extremely calm. Many times we ignore anger or aggression of our child just giving excuse of their growing age or under development mind.
Many times children tend to gain attention by showing anger of bursting in anger and slowly it becomes the habit.
Difference between Anger and Aggression
Anger and Aggression are two different things and one should know the difference between two. Anger is a temporary state of your emotions that could be a result of frustration. While, aggression is something in advance and can hurt a person or make you take destructive step.
Both of them are related to human emotions and can be cured if taken preventive care. Anger is found when someone frustrates, as in animals also it is found. When you tease some animal it would surely get angry. Caring and controlling kids dealing with anger or aggressive nature should be done with a lot of care and patiently. Many try to use power or punishment to cure such kids but not always this is the cure. These children need acceptance and have a full container of emotions boiling inside them. This container has to be emptied but filled with love and confidence. Sometimes such kids lack confidence or have inferiority complex due to which get angry.
What Makes a Child Aggressive or Angry?
The tendency of anger is more when a child enters into teenage. It is found that 1 in every 5 teens have anger management issues.
Anger is a reflection of emotions stored in brain. When large amount of information or emotions collect in the brain, amygdala present in brain creates a lot of emotion. Our body has prefrontal cortex that is responsible for anger control but it is not fully developed till 20 years of age. Since in teenage the cortex is not developed fully, so it cannot control amygdala emotions that have collected so far. This makes a child burst out of anger or getting violent many times.
When should Emotional outbursts of your Child Concern you?
- If your child is hurting himself
- If your child is locking himself in the room
- If he is carrying some tools for his safety in bag to school
- If the teacher is reporting that he is out of control in school
- If your child does not mix-up with the kids and excludes himself
- If your child is not interested in attending birthday parties or getting social
- If your child is showing tantrums causing atmosphere of tension and conflict at home
How to Control your Angry Child?
Parents take their kids to counselling or neurologist to check their nerves or mental problem. They start medication which can go for a longer period. These medicines necessarily do not remove the root cause of aggression but suppress the problem for some time. In actual, parents, teachers and those medications should all work together to help the situation.

Migrating from unix /var/mail/spool mail to maildir:
Moving from a old Verio VPS server to Softlayer's cloud required migrating from the old "unix" email format where all mail for a user was kept in a single file. Softlayer/WHM offered two email formats, courier or dovecot. I had luck with dovecot and did not pursue courier.

Purulia is one of the most backward districts in West Bengal. Within the district there are some pockets with further backwardness. One such pocket is Ajodhya Hills, a hilly terrain, deprived of the basic services like elementary education, primary health care, and livelihood support services. There are only 17 government aided primary schools for 56 villages in the entire hilly range. Children of some of the villages walk from 2 to 4 kilometres to reach the school. Most of the schools are understaffed with poor quality of teaching, assessment and monitoring. Differential learning methods for children from the excluded social groups like Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are never factored in the pedagogy. Extreme poverty, lack of awareness amongst the parents about education, distance between school and home, and unattractive curriculum and pedagogy have been the main reasons for high dropout students in the area.
CESR started an experiment of creating an environment where children would enjoy learning and parents would be motivated to send their children to school. In 2008, CESR started two non-formal pre-primary education centres with its own resources involving local youths. The main aim was to enrol the drop out and out of school tribal children, and provide them supplementary education. The teachers of these centres were though not formally trained, but due to their high motivation and some informal training by CESR, they became very effective teachers and change agents.
The experiment came out to be quite encouraging and in the year 2013 Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) supported CESR in setting up 10 similar education centres. In 2014, SDTT increased its support to set up two more education centres. The total students' strength in 12 Centres reached 776. Most of these centres are located at 2-3 km away from nearby government schools. Majority of the children enrolled are in the age group of 6-14 years, where some are first time school goers and others had dropped out from formal schools and returned to education system.

Prepping for Biebs
These past few days there has been pure chaos as the parking lot adjacent to the site is being transformed into the stage for the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards Show.
I took this photo during my lunch break, and while it does not do the setup justice, it captures the fun hullabaloo of the massive preparations for one of pop music's' biggest awards nights.
According to the official guests page, super power couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will be presenting/performing, as well as a host of other youthful acts I have never heard of...Oh well, apparently my ancient demographic is supposed to watch MuchMore.

London City → Calais Dunkerque
Private jets from London City to Calais Dunkerque | Calais Dunkerque to London City
The private flight from London City to Calais Dunkerque has a distance of about 145 km and a flying time of about 0 hours and 54 minutes. Given the total distance of the flight and the number of flight hours it is advisable to fly with a light jet or jet medium aircraft. One of the airports has a short runway and does not allow the landing of the large jet aircraft, it is preferable to use a light jet or a medium jet aircraft. The flight does not need any fuel stop.
Some examples of aircraft for the flight London City - Calais Dunkerque or Calais Dunkerque - London City:

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? I've been ...
But here is a little competition to mark my return to blogland:
Where have I been:
Looking East from there - this is what I could see:
There will even be a prize!!
I have, at last, gathered my three Over The Hill ebooks into a print book. I've seen the proofs (and it is rather wonderful), and so - to celebrate it's arrival, I shall award two prizes of that book (picked at random) from those who get this right.
If no one does, then I'll begin to give clues. But for now - happy guessing!!
9 comments:
I guess Bournemouth, but I don't recognise those buildings and beach huts can be found in lots of places, so I'm probably wrong.ReplyDelete
Brighton? How many guesses do we get???!! I've got Vultures in ebook, will be read before tooooo long! :)ReplyDelete
Lol...I'm not entering because I used to live there, I feel like it's cheating! I used to work in one of the hotels just beyond the new beach huts...I've lived away for twenty-one years, exactly half my life, now I'm a little homesick :)ReplyDelete
I don't recognise it either. I tried to cheat by checking out Lisa's blog to see if she said where she came from but she didn't so I shall guess that it's Eastbourne.ReplyDeleteReplies
Lol, Rosalind! You'd have to followed to my new blog, then linked across to my Official Website...it's on my About Me! ;)Delete
Great guesses - and yes, we're on the South Coast.ReplyDelete
Hove and Brighton?ReplyDelete

Essex is a county to be proud of, from our luscious countryside to the beautiful beaches that hug our coastlines.
Not only are we close to London, but we are home to huge port industry and city-living, from the banks of south through to the north.
It was also the birthplace of many celebrities - before The Only Way is Essex showcased on our screens - with actors, singers and presenters. Dame Maggie Smith was from Ilford, Dermot O'Leary called Colchester his home and Rupert Grint AKA Ron Weasley originated in Harlow.
Fame aside, Essex holds historical importance and is home to Roman ruins, 18th century impressive mansions and medieval connections (we like our castles).
However, in recent years, after all of the extensive Essex histories, some outside the county believe they can sum all of us up in a few words - those being, 'Shut up', 'Reem' and 'TOWIE'. But it's far from the truth.
These are all the annoying things you could say to someone who is from Essex .
(It still counts if they've moved away too)
1. "Shuuut uup"
Whenever someone tries to do an impression of an Essex accent, we're pretty sure this is the first thing out of their mouth. We do know more than two words - so 'shuuut uup'.
2. So are you all like TOWIE?
If you don't tune in to the reality show, the cast of The Only Way Is Essex enjoy fake tans, fake eyelashes and 'Marbs'. But that doesn't mean everyone else does too. There are thousands of people from Essex who haven't been to Marbella. And who don't wear vajazzles.
3. Do you watch it then?
Does everyone from Newcastle watch Geordie Shore? The show depicts a very small corner of Essex, it is not a daily news bulletin for us. Yes, some of us love it! But that's not because we're from Essex.
4. Why aren't you tanned?
Not every person looks the same, and that includes the colour of our skin. Also, fake tan can be purchased in any other county in the UK...
5. But you can pronounce your t's?
The Essex accent is a strong one, we can admit that at least. But it's quite similar to London and we'd prefer to say that it has a 'relaxed' personality. Also, the Essex accent is really varied across the county. Often someone from Chelmsford has a pretty different accent to someone from Billericay.
6. "I could tell by your accent"
This can go down like a ton of bricks if you say it in a certain tone. Most of the time though, we're proud to sound like we're from our home county.
7. Essex is basically the countryside, right?
We are proud of our hills and fields, but that isn't the only thing that spans across the county. We have cities and bustling towns where you can't find a parking space to save your life.
8. Essex is basically a concrete jungle, right?
This works both ways. Sometimes people assume Essex is nothing more than Lakeside and Sugar Hut. Nothing beats a Sunday walk in the countryside!
9. Southend and Clacton are nowhere near the sea
Firstly, their official names are Southend-on-Sea and Clacton-on-Sea, much like Frinton-on-Sea and Holland-on-Sea. There does seem to be a pattern emerging here.
Essex is home to 350 miles of beautiful coastline, and the River Thames is 214 miles in full length. Therefore we have towns on the edge of the county that do touch the North Sea and we like it that way.
10. Didn't just everyone move to Essex from London?
Some people moved from London after each war, but they also moved to all sorts of varying places in the UK. Most people from Essex are not the first generation to be there.
11. Oh you're from 'the north'? You must be posh then
We still don't understand where the notion came from that north Essex is posher than south!
12. You must go to Sugar Hut on the weekends
It is a popular venue, but a lot of people travel afar to attend there on a night out. Some people travel hundreds of miles for special occasions because they've seen it on TOWIE. It's not just full of locals.
13. You all just wanna be TOWIE?

There may be Essex men fond of a beveled curb silver chain but we don't hold it against them. A man bag on the other hand...
17. Don't all women wear white stilettos and mini skirts?
No one has ever heard that before. And this is one of the worst.
18. Why do you say you're from London but you're not?

'Essex Girl', which has it's own definition in the dictionary, is a derogatory term applied to a 'type of young woman' who is meant to be unintelligent, promiscuous and materialistic.

Village could require review for rec cannabis sales
Oak Park Plan Commission recommends special-use permit for dispensaries
Opening a recreational cannabis dispensary in Oak Park might not be as easy as going to village hall and applying for a business license, under a recommendation the Oak Park Plan Commission is sending to the Oak Park Board of Trustees for consideration.
At the Plan Commission's meeting on Aug. 1, commissioners voted 6-0 to make require a special-use permit for marijuana dispensaries, rather than making dispensaries a permitted use under the zoning code.
That means anyone planning to open a dispensary would have to apply for a special permit to sale recreational cannabis in the village, a process that involves a public hearing and village board approval.
Village staff presented the Plan Commission with a recommendation to make recreational cannabis sales a permitted use, but commissioners were reluctant to "open the floodgates" – as Commissioner Iris Sims described it – to recreational cannabis sales.
Recreational cannabis will become legal in Illinois on Jan. 1, 2020, and Oak Park already is set to get its first dispensary. The Seven Point dispensary, 1132 Lake St., which has operated as a medical cannabis dispensary since 2016, plans to transition into recreational sales.
State law permits all medical cannabis sales facilities to automatically transition to recreational sales when the law takes effect.
Plan commissioner Lawrence Brozek said that unless the village takes action to regulate recreational cannabis sales, any new dispensary will not be subjected to a review similar to the kind that takes place for alcohol sales in the village.
To sell alcohol in Oak Park, merchants must first appear before the village's Liquor Control Review Board and the Oak Park Board of Trustees in order to receive a license.
While potential merchants of recreational cannabis will not have to acquire a license from the village to sale the drug, they would, if the Oak Park Board of Trustees takes the Plan Commission's recommendation, have to appear before either the Oak Park Zoning Board of Appeals or the Plan Commission to present their plan. It then would also need final approval by the Oak Park Board of Trustees.
This would give residents and opportunity to weigh in on any proposal for recreational sales.
Village Planner Craig Failor said special use-permits are reviewed by the Oak Park Zoning Board of Appeals, but the code gives village staff some flexibility to pitch special-use permit request to the Plan Commission if the ZBA is unable to review the request in a timely manner.
Sims voiced her general opposition to the statewide recreational cannabis legalization law, saying it is in part "driven by the economics of this state."
"This is an experiment and hasn't been studied," she said.
Some communities such as Naperville, Libertyville and Bloomingdale have recently voted to ban the sale of recreational cannabis in their municipalities.

Nobody seems to be addressing the issue that cannabis sales are cash only because the businesses are not able to deposit money from sales of cannabis in any bank. And if that's the case where will they put the cash? Off shore? Swiss banks? How will municipalities and the State collect the much touted tax revenue? Selling weed is still a federal crime so Uncle Sam won't even be able to track sales either.... Imagine all that cash sitting in a dispensary along with all that weed.... pretty dangerous position for a business owner and his/her employees to be in considering the crime rate in our communities...better have a button under the counter, a locked front door and a means of self defense...oh my...Pandora's Box is going to open...

@Bruce, you are making my point. We can't really argue that making pot legal will cause more crime as someone did here. If we make it legal we aren't going to end up with more crime. I will say that 40% of all violent crimes report that the perpetrator had been drinking. That's a staggering statistic. I think both should be legal. My point was simply that you can't support alcohol being legal and pot illegal based on possible crime problems.

Thanks Mike. I would only add that the confounding variable here is the opioid crisis and the pressure (and real threats including criminal prosecution) on docs and pharmacies to really back off on opioid prescribing. So I would imagine that there would be decreased opioid prescriptions accross the board, and in states where marijuana is legal (and perception of marijuana analgesic efficacy is high) even more so.

Bruce: Studies show that in states which have legalized medical marijuana, prescriptions for painkillers and other drugs (e.g., for seizures) have notably decreased. At least one pharmaceutical company is attempting to develop synthetic medical marijuana. You can't increase your own bottom line if people are growing "medicine" in their own backyards. Regardless of how effective medical marijuana may or may not actually be, enough people apparently believe it is to have made a dent in Big Pharma's sales.

The licenses to sell marijuana are like gold. The regulations around the tracking of all of the products is tough. No legal shop is going to risk any issues as that would be ridiculous. Some here make it sound like this is drug dealers opening up shops. The people involved are business people and they aren't going to have product walk out the door illegally or stolen or whatever. If some is stolen the police will be called. There are also significantly less robberies when it's legal for one simple reason. People can call the cops. Today people are robbed but they can't do anything because it's illegal. That means the criminals also know they can get away with it. In the future they could actually go to jail. The real win is that this money won't go to gangs and cartels anymore which is great.

That sentence is clumsy and should have been written clearly. Stores and store owners will be robbed for their marijuana. Marijuana reported dropped on the floor will be resold outside of the books. People with medical marijuana will sell theirs, report it stolen and get a new script. Easily masked. Recreational marijuana will be taken in street robbery. Street robberies will be used to buy recreational marijuana. Masked. The offenses will be displaced and sometimes masked. It is sort of like fighting in the National Hockey League.The NHL has a 5 minute penalty for fighting so fighting can be called and tabulated. There is no fighting penalty in other sports, therefore no fighting to be called or tabulated, however there was fighting in a recent Cincinnati/Pirate game and foul later called was unsportsmanlike conduct, if at all.. The real offense was masked.

No Brian, thank you! It will be interesting to see how all this plays out in regard to marijuana - particularly "medicinal" marijuana or CBD. I also find it interesting that much like our "sanctuary laws" - whereby cities in Illinois (and elsewhere) refuse to enforce federal statutes related to immigration - the exact same thing is going on here. Marijuana as a schedule 1 drug is - like heroin - illegal (on the federal level). Yet as of January 2020, Illinois will be ignoring this minor inconvenience. I am sure there will come a "day of reckoning."

Brian: The courts have empowered private employers in high risk professions i.e. aviation, trains, commercial trucking etc. to test. I am not sure if that right extends to testing without cause (random drug testing, as it does in the federal system) or testing only permitted with cause. Also consider a drug can be legal and it's consumption (past or present) still prohibited in the work place. The best example of this is alcohol. But the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of marijuana are much more complicated than alcohol, making testing more problematic.

Common thought is that if you take the criminal aspect of possession there will either less or no crime. more than a good chance that ill be not true. @ BK: the question will be will private employers have the same chance to not hire or terminate. I think that as a condition of employment an employer can insist of drug testing. A friend of mines son in Utah just graduated nine month of high electrical wire school. Immediate after graduation he was offered 6 figures tom start, plus expenses at 20 years old. No college debt. Drug tests mandatory.

Brian in regard to employee testing. Any employee of the federal government could be (and in fact is) subject to potential testing at any time. Marijuana on the federal level is classified as a schedule 1 drug: no currently accepted medical use and high abuse potential. This puts it in the same category as heroin and LSD as far as the feds are concerned. So yes, in the federal system the use of marijuana puts one's job at risk - irrespective of local laws.

SEBMF Celebrates 10 Years of Family Centered Care
Posted on Oct 1, 2015
The test of a good idea is how long it lasts. It has been 10 years since a small group of East Bay health care pioneers created a network that allows physicians to focus on building strong relationships with their patients.
Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation (SEBMF) and East Bay Physicians Medical Group (EBPMG) are celebrating the anniversary of a 10-year partnership. On Oct. 1, 2005, with approximately 100 employees, 49 physicians and four allied health professionals on board, SEBMF started providing hospitalist services for Alta Bates Summit Medical Center and opened its doors at three care centers in Berkeley.
"I'm so proud of what SEBMF and EBPMG has been able to accomplish together over the last 10 years," says Samuel Santoro, D.O., President and CEO, EBPMG. "We pride ourselves on delivering patient-centered care and I want to thank all of our employees and physicians for their commitment to providing the best possible care for our patients. Each and every one of you has played a pivotal role in our success."
SEBMF started out with 10 medical specialties. Today, SEBMF includes more than 29 medical specialties, three urgent care centers, four hospitalists programs, plus laboratory, X-ray and other diagnostic services.
How the Journey Began
In the early 2000s, Sutter Health and Alta Bates Summit Medical Center needed a strategy to recruit and retain top-notch physicians and allied health providers in the face of multiple challenges:
• an aging medical staff
• a shortage of new physicians
• physicians leaving private practice to work for Kaiser and other medical foundations
• the high cost of practicing primary care medicine in the Bay Area.
To develop an integrated health care system and support physicians financially, the steering committee of medical center and physician leadership decided to create a medical foundation – SEBMF — for providers in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
That required forming a medical group — EBPMG — with at least 40 physicians comprised of a minimum of 10 board-certified specialties.
Three Lead the Effort
Led by William DeWolf, M.D.; Katarina Lanner- Cusin, M.D.; and Louis Wu, M.D.; who represented three established primary care and obstetrics and gynecologic medical groups, recruitment efforts began in 2004. They sought out providers who wanted to join:
• a multi-specialty medical group that provided patient centered care
• a more integrated network of physician offices and hospitals
• a single electronic health record (one-patient, one record).
Soon many of their partners were on board and by December 2004, hospitalists from Alta Bates and Summit campuses expressed interest in joining and recruiting physicians to build EBPMG.
"We wanted to have a multi-specialty group that was integrated on one electronic health record (EHR), providing comprehensive care to our patients," says Wu, the medical group's chief medical officer, who at that time had cared for some of his patients for almost 30 years. "Our medical foundation also provided an opportunity to nurture and support talented physicians who were just starting out as well as in-community physicians looking to practice in a larger multispecialty group."
SEBMF Milestones
In 2008, the medical foundation implemented Sutter EHR and today more than 85,000 SEBMF patients have enrolled in Sutter Health's My Health Online, a patient portal providing online and mobile access to their medical records.
By 2010, SEBMF had expanded its geographic footprint to include care centers in Antioch, Brentwood and Castro Valley.
In 2011, SEBMF opened its first Urgent Care facility, in Antioch, which had great success and paved the way for Castro Valley Urgent Care in 2014 and Milvia Urgent Care in Berkeley in 2015. All three centers are growing and together they care for more than 1,000 patients each month.
Today SEBMF has 400 employees, 275 clinicians and 12 care centers in eight East Bay communities. We have nine laboratory locations and five radiology and imaging centers and support hospitalist programs at Alta Bates Summit, Eden and Sutter Delta medical centers. SEBMF will treat approximately 19,000 new patients in 2015, a 50 percent increase since 2011.
Congratulations to all of our employees, physicians and allied health professionals as we celebrate this special anniversary.
One Comment
Expand northward! Not only Richmond, Pinole, Hercules and thereabouts, but also Benicia, Vallejo and American Canyon (on the road to Napa) can use more aligned facilities, especially primary care docs and ancillary providers like physical therapists. Much of the area has little to choice but Kaiser.
I've been a patient of Roger Iliff's for nearly 30 years. Keep up the good work!

As far as historical fiction authors go, Harry Sidebottom has good credentials – DPhil in ancient history at Oxford, where he has continued on in a teaching role. This knowledge definitely shows in this novel from 2008 (the first of a series called Warrior of Rome). It is set in the 3rd century AD, not one of the most fashionable eras but a lively one nonetheless. The empire is being (just about) ruled by a series of short-lived military emperors as pressure is put on it from both external and internal sources. This story has an officer of barbarian/Angle origin in the Roman army, Ballista, sent east to defend a city against a huge Persian force.
The setting is very good, there's a host of characters from various backgrounds and a ton of suitable classical references (Satyricon by Petronius is mentioned a lot). Unfortunately for me, something doesn't quite click – there's plenty of plot but none of it really draws me in. The barbarian background of Ballista feels a little unecessary. The characters feel like they have a history, but you get the nagging feeling that that backstory might be more interesting.
Would I read more of the series? Probably. It did pick up as I got further into the book. The setting and the detail that Sidebottom provides would allow be enough for me to give it another go. One to check out from the library.

They will be joined by debutantes Ben Fawcett, Jayden Warn, Matt Lewis and Andrew Edmondson who will be looking for their first Paralympic title in the Brazilian city.
Australian coach Brad Dubberley believes the country is capable of defending their crown, with strong competition expected from the likes of United States, Canada, Great Britain and Japan.
"We obviously set the benchmark in London 2012, but I think this team gives us more depth than we have ever had," Dubberley said.
"We probably had two world class line-ups in London but this team has at least three which gives us a lot of confidence heading into Rio.
"This is the strongest team we possibly could have picked."
No Australian team had won a gold medal in wheelchair rugby before London 2012.
"We're ready for anything," Dubberley said.
"We know it's going to be extremely tough to win back-to-back gold at the Paralympics but we're looking forward to the challenge.
"This will be the closest Paralympics I have ever seen.
"Any of the world's top five teams could win it.
"Great Britain has improved more than any other team in the past 18 months and we play them in our first game, Canada has been ranked number one in the past year, the USA just took back the number one ranking, Japan is a threat and then there's us.
"We're just excited to get over there.
"The team has now been unveiled which is always an exciting day and now we just want to get to Rio and get the job done."
Australia beat Canada in the London 2012 final, 66-51.
In Rio they will meet the Canadians again in Group A, as well as hosts Brazil and European champions Britain.

'Uber launches Movement, boon for urban planners'
Authored by Mihir Balantrapu
Uber has changed the way we move around over the last few years. It has given us access to easy and hassle free transportation at the touch of a button. It couldn't get easier than that.
The other distinctive feature of this app is its plentiful usage of GPS navigation system, creating an ocean of a data pool when combined with the personal data of the rider.
What if we could get our hands on this data? It would create endless possibilities of movement predictions and give a better insight into the daily life patterns of the various socio-economic groups.
Uber has just opened this very treasure trove, giving access to anonymized data from over 2 billion trips to help improve urban planning around the world.
Such data is nothing less than gold for urban planners as it will enable them to make better, personalized decisions for policy making, as well as micro manage certain design and planning errors within a city.

'Smart Cities- Transforming the 21st century city via the creative use of technology'
Published by Arup via Yumpu
In the present day cities, "smart technologies" are creating more efficient systems and better informed citizens. Now leading cities have started to push this concept further. They are exploring how smart cities can add value within a strategic framework. This will mean moving from departmental solutions to a city wide approach, creating economies of a wider scale and scope globally.
To exploit the potential of this technology to its maximum, cities need to develop an architecture in which technology can evolve, providing space for global players to create value and start ups to innovate. Also, citizens need to see the value in these services and have access to them through well designed interfaces and more initiatives by the government.
Hence, soon we shall be able to literally take the future of our cities in our very hands.

'The Future of Our Spatial Experience'
Created by Sara Vrbinc
We live in a technology driven world and as a result have started experiencing our surroundings through different eyes- that of our smart phones. Our spatial experience and cognitive mapping no more relies only on the various nodes and landmarks along our way, but on the user interface design of our GPS navigation system. The design mediates between tech and people; it provides interface and enables interaction, but also takes responsibility of how the interface app might affect our cognitive performance.
This video is a part of an experimental project by a UI designer, Sara Vrbinc, which explores implications of emerging technologies, to enhance human cognitive capability, through more natural integration of digital interfaces into our physical lives.
