This is the fourth post in my altPhysio series, where I'm exploring alternative ways of thinking about a physiotherapy curriculum by imagining what a future school might look like. This post is a bit longer than other because this is an area I'm really interested in and spend a lot of time thinking about. I've also added more links to external sources because some of this stuff sounds like science fiction. The irony is that everything in this post describes technology that currently exists, and as long as we're thinking about whether or not to share PowerPoint slide we're not paying attention to what's important. This post was a ton of fun to write.
Q: Can you talk a little bit about the history of technology integration in health professions education? Maybe over the last decade or so.
In the early part of the 21st century we saw more institutions starting to take the integration of technology seriously. Unfortunately the primary use of digital services at the time was about moving content around more efficiently. Even though the research was saying that the content component was less important for learning than the communication component, we still saw universities using the LMS primarily to share notes and presentations with students.
The other thing is that we were always about 5-10 years behind the curve when it came to the adoption of technology. For examples, wikis started showing up in the medical education literature almost 10 years after they were invented. The same with MOOCs. I understand the need to wait and see how technologies stabilise and then choosing something that's robust and reliable. But the challenge is that you lose out on the early mover advantages of using the technology early. That's why we tend to adopt a startup mentality to how we use technology at altPhysio.
Q: What do you mean by that? How is altPhysio like a startup?
We pay attention to what's on the horizon, especially the emerging technologies that have the potential to make an impact on learning in 1, 2 and 5 year time frames. We decided that we weren't going to wait and see what technologies stabilised and would rather integrate the most advanced technologies available at the time. We designed our programme to be flexible and to adapt to change based on what's happening around us. When the future is unknowable because technological advances are happening faster than you can anticipate, you need a system that can adapt to the situations that emerge. We can't design a rigid curriculum that attempts to guess what the future holds. So we implement and evaluate rapidly, constantly trying out small experiments with small groups of students.
Once we decided that we'd be proactive instead of reactive in how we use and think about technology, we realised that we'd need a small team in the school who are on the lookout for technologies that have the potential to enhance the curriculum. The team consists of students and staff who identify emerging technologies before they become mainstream, prepare short reports for the rest of the school, recruit beta testers and plan small scale research projects that highlight the potential benefits and challenges of implementing the technology at scale.
We've found that this is a great way for students to invest themselves in their own learning, drive research in areas they are interested in, take leadership roles and manage small projects. Staff on the team act as supervisors and mentors, but in fact are often students themselves, as both groups push each other further in terms of developing insights that would not be possible working in isolation.
Q: But why the emphasis on technology in health professions education? Isn't this programme about developing physiotherapists?
The WHO report on the use of elearning for undergraduate health professional education called for the integration of technology into the curriculum, as did the Lancet Commission report. And it wasn't just about moving content more efficiently in the system but rather to use technology intentionally to change how we think about the curriculum and student learning. The ability to learn is increasingly mediated by digital and information literacy and we want our students' learning potential to be maximised.
Low levels of digital literacy in the 21st century is akin to a limited ability to read and write in the past. Imagine trying to learn in the 20th century without being able to read and write? Well, that's what it's like trying to learn today if you don't have a grasp of how digital technologies mediate your construction of knowledge. Integrating technology is not about adding new gadgets or figuring out how to use Facebook groups more effectively.
Technology is an infrastructure that can be used to open up and enhance student's learning, or to limit it. Freire said that there's no such thing as a neutral education process, and we take seriously the fact that the technologies we use have a powerful influence on students' learning.
Q: How do you develop digital and information literacy alongside the competencies that are important for physiotherapists? Doesn't an emphasis on technology distract students from the core curriculum?
We don't offer "Technology" as something separate to the physiotherapy curriculum, just as you don't offer "Pen and paper" as something that is separate. The ability to use a pen and paper used to be an integral and inseparable aspect of learning, and we've just moved that paradigm to now include digital and information literacy. Technology isn't separate to learning, it's a part of learning just like pen and paper used to be.
Digital and information literacy is integrated into everything that happens at the school. For example, when a new student registers they immediately get allocated a domain on the school servers, along with a personal URL. A digital domain of their own where they get to build out their personal learning environment. This is where they make notes, pull in additional resources like books and video, and work on their projects. It's a complete online workspace that allows individual and collaborative work and serves as a record of their progress through the programme. It's really important to us that students learn how to control the digital spaces that they use for learning, and that they're able to keep control over those spaces after they graduate.
When students graduate, their personal curriculum goes with them, containing the entire curriculum (every resource we shared with them) as well as every artefact of their learning they created, and every resource that they pulled in themselves. Our students never lose the content that they aggregated over the duration of the programme, but more importantly, they never lose the network they built over that time. The learning network is by far the most important part of the programme, and includes not only the content relationships they've formed during the process but includes all interactions with their teachers, supervisors, clinicians and tutors.
Q: Why is it important for students to work in digital space, as well as physical space? And how do your choices about online spaces impact on students' learning?
Think about how the configuration of physical space in a 20th century classroom dictated the nature of interactions that were possible in that space. How did the walls, desks and chairs, and the position of the lecturer determine who spoke, for example? Who moved? Who was allowed to move? How was work done in that space? Think about how concepts of "front" and "back" (in a classroom) have connotations for how we think about who sits where.
Now, how does the configuration of digital space change the nature of the interactions that are possible in that space? How we design the learning environment (digital or physical) not only enables or disables certain kinds of interactions, but it says something about how we think about learning. Choosing one kind of configuration over another articulates a set of values. For example, we value openness in the curriculum, from the licensing of our course materials, to the software we build on. This commitment to openness says something about who we are and what is important to us.
The fact that our students begin here with their own digital space – a personal learning environment – that they can configure in meaningful ways to enhance their potential for learning, sends a powerful message. Just like the physical classroom configuration changes how power is manifested, so can the digital space. Our use of technology tells students that they have power in terms of making choices with respect to their learning.
To go back to your question about the potential for technology to distract students from learning physiotherapy; did you ever think about how classrooms – the physical configuration of space – distracted students from learning? Probably not. Why not?
Q: You mentioned that openness is an important concept in the curriculum. Can you go into a bit more detail about that?
Maybe it would be best to use a specific example because there are many ways that openness can be defined. Our curriculum is an open source project that gives us the ability to be as flexible and adaptable as a 21st century curriculum needs to be. It would be impossible for us to design a curriculum that was configured for every student's unique learning needs and that was responsive to a changing social context, so we started with a baseline structure that could be modified over time by students.
We use a GitHub repository to host and collaborate on the curriculum. Think of a unique instance of the curriculum that is the baseline version – the core – that is hosted on our servers. When a student registers, we fork that curriculum to create another, unique instance on the students personal digital domain. At this moment, the curriculum on the student's server is an exact copy of the one we have but almost immediately, the students' version is modified based on their personal context. For example, the entire curriculum – including all of the content associated with the programme – is translated into the student's home language if they choose so. Now that it's on their server, they can modify it to better suit them, using annotation and editing tools, and allowing them to integrate external resources into their learning environment.
One of the most powerful features of the system is that it allows for students to push ideas back into our core curriculum. They make changes on their own versions and if they'd like to see that change implemented across the programme, they send us a "Pull" request, which is basically a message that shows the suggested change along with a comment for why the student wants it. It's a feedback mechanism for them to send us signals on what works well and what can be improved. It enables us to constantly refine and improve the curriculum based on real time input from students.
On top of this, every time we partner with other institutions, they can fork the curriculum and modify it to suit their context, and then push the changes back upstream. This means that the next time someone wants to partner with us, the core curriculum they can choose from is bigger and more comprehensive. For example, our curriculum is now the largest database of case studies in the world because most institutions that fork the curriculum and make their own changes also send those changes back to the core.
Q: You have a very different approach to a tutorial system. Tell us about how tutors are implemented in your school.
The tutors at altPhysio are weak AI agents – relatively simple artificial general intelligence algorithms that perform within very narrow constraints that are linked to basic tasks associated with student learning. Students "connect" with their AI tutors in the first week of the programme, which for the most part involves downloading an app onto their phones. This is then sync'd across all of their other devices and digital spaces, including laptops, wearables and cloud services, so that the AI is "present" in whatever context the student is learning.
As AI has become increasingly commoditised in the last decade, AI as a service has allowed us to take advantage of features that enhance learning. For example, a student's tutor will help her with establishing a learning context, finding content related to that context, and reasoning through the problems that arise in the context. In addition, the AIs help students manage time on task, remind them about upcoming tasks and the associated preparation for those tasks, and generally keep them focused on their learning.
Over time the algorithms evolve with students, becoming increasingly tied to them and their own personal learning patterns. While all AI tutors begin with the same structure and function they gradually become more tightly integrated with the student. Some of the more adventurous students have had the AIs integrated with neural lace implants, which has obviously significantly accelerated their ability to function at much higher levels and at much greater speeds than the rest of us. These progressions have obviously made us think very differently about assessment, obviously.
Q: What about technology used during lectures? Is there anything different to what you've already mentioned?
Lectures have a different meaning here than at other institutions, and I suspect we'll talk about that later. Anyway, during lectures the AI tutors act as interpreters for the students, performing real time translation for our international speakers, as well as doing speech-to-text transcription in real time. This means that our deaf students get all speech converted to Braille in real time, which is pretty cool. All the audio, video and text that is generated during lectures is saved, edited and sync'd to the students personal domains where they're available for recall later.
Our students use augmented reality a lot in the classroom and clinical context, where students overlay digital information on their visual fields in order to get more context in the lecture. For example, while I'm talking about movement happening at the elbow, the student might choose to display the relevant bones, joints and muscles responsible for the movement. As the information is presented to them, they can choose to save that additional detail into the point in the lecture that I discussed it, so that when they're watching the video of the lecture later, the additional information is included. We use this system a lot for anatomy and other movement- and structure-type classes.
Q: That sounds like a pretty comprehensive overview of how technology has some important uses beyond making content easier to access. Any final thoughts?
Technology is not something that we "do", it's something that we "do things with". It enables more powerful forms of communication and interaction, both in online and physical spaces, and to think of it in terms of another "platform" or "service" is to miss the point. It amplifies our ability to do things in the world and just because it's not cheap or widely distributed today doesn't mean it won't be in the future.
In 2007 the iPhone didn't exist. Now every student in the university carries in their pocket a computer more powerful than the ones we used to put men on the moon. We should be more intentional about how we use that power, and forget about whatever app happens to be trending today.

My GirlEdit
Some parents want to capture everything on video. Some will record their first birthday (and all the other ones after that, even whence it becomes obnoxious), their Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation (if they are of that faith), probably their marriage as well.
And then there are the select parents that even record the birth of their child.
Brigit and I were not those parents. We were the ones that thought of memory as being more than enough. And to be completely honest I was sure that Brigit would not want to relive that moment, though some say that one of the most important times in a person's life is when they are giving birth.
Yes, for some people. But Brigit and I could find much better things to do with our time then watching our daughter be born. Do you see what I mean by it being awkward?
I was there with her throughout the whole thing. She was always there for me, so I figured that I may as well return the favor. We had been married for a year, dating for two years before that. Some might say that was a short time, but we were in love. We were soul mates. She was the missing half that I had searched for, that everyone had searched for.
Back before we were married, when we worked the night shift at the bar together, I thought how wonderful it was to have a girlfriend who doubled as my best friend. We could be lovers when no one was around, but when we were with others, we were just best friends. And I liked it that way. We would talk about our past relationships, our crushes, the ones that got away. Neither of us could deny that we still felt attracted to other people, but that was how the heart worked. Love works in mysterious ways after all, doesn't it? It leaves you paralyzed, distorting things to make them feel more desirable. I would know. It has happened to me before.
But with Brigit, I felt safe. When I was in her arms, and her head on my shoulder, the world around me could crumble and fall into Tartarus. But I had Brigit. That was all I could ever want.
"Ah, Mr. VanPyre! Back from the dead, I see," said the nurse, an oriental woman named Jun Xu. In the room with us was my father with his broken nose, my stepmother and my siblings, my friends Elvira and Nisha. And in Jun's arms, the daughter that I had anxiously awaited for so long. My girl, my Contessa Ember Rose.
Brigit squeezed my hand as I took my baby girl in my arms, feeling her baby-soft skin against my fingers as I delicately stroked her head. A tear rolled down my face as I realized that now we were a complete, happy family.

Help Mitigate Urban Heat Islands With A Green Roof
Have you ever driven into a city from a more rural area and thought the temperature seemed a lot warmer in the city? It's not your imagination. Many cities are actually warmer than the surrounding areas due to a phenomenon called the heat island effect. This increased temperature occurs mainly due to the presence of so many dry, exposed surfaces made from dark-colored materials. These roofs, roads and parking lots absorb heat from the sunlight, rising in temperature until they are hotter than air. This heat emanates off of these dark surfaces, increasing the temperature within the city.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the heat island effect can result in a city being as much as 5.4 degrees F higher than its surroundings in the daytime, and as much as 22 degrees F hotter than surrounding rural areas in the evening. This increased temperature has a number of negative effects on the community, including increased air conditioning costs, decreased water quality and increased heat-related illness. Mitigating the issue of urban heat islands is a big task. If you own a building in a city, there is something you can do to help -- install a green roof.
What are green roofs?
Green roofs are also sometimes known as rooftop gardens. They are layers of plants grown on the rooftop. Typically, a green roof consists of a sturdy base made from plywood and a roofing membrane. This is topped with a layer of gravel or similar material to provide drainage, followed by a layer of filter fabric, and finally a layer of planting substrate in which the plants are actually grown.
Depending on the size and shape of your roof, a contractor may recommend making the entire roof "green," or only covering a portion of it in this manner. Many green roofs are simply planted with moss, sedums, or other plants that need little to no irrigation. If you have a very large urban roof, however, plans can become much more complex. There are even urban roofs that include trees and flower gardens and operate as parks.
How do green roofs mitigate heat islands?
Green roofs absorb much less heat than traditional black, asphalt roofs. They also remove heat from the surrounding air through a process called transpiration. Transpiration is essentially the process by which water evaporates from the plants' leaves; plants take heat energy from the surrounding air to complete the process.
What are the other benefits of green roofs?
In addition to making the urban community a better place by reducing the heat island effect, green roofs have a number of other benefits for the entire community, such as:
- Reduced air pollution. Plants actually remove pollutants from the air. Most cities have limited plant life, and adding plants on roofs is a good way to reduce air pollution naturally.
- Better water quality. Plants also absorb toxins in the rainwater; the runoff that falls from the roof is cleaner.
- Improved aesthetic appeal. Extensive green roofs provide community members with greenspace where they can read, relax and enjoy green surroundings.
A green roof also offers several benefits for you as a building owner:
- Reduced air conditioning bills. Green roofs don't absorb nearly as much heat as traditional black roofs, meaning you'll save on energy costs.
- A longer lifespan. The greenery on the roof protects the roof membrane from heat damage, meaning that you're likely to get more years out of a green roof than a traditional one.
If you're looking for a way to improve your urban community while also reducing your energy costs as a building owner, contact a green roofing company in your area and get an estimate. They can give you more information about each of your roofing options. You might pay more upfront for a green roof, but the energy savings, cooler urban environment, and longer lifespan of the roof make this an investment many urban developers and building owners benefit from.

This is Arnel Irandio at the spot where his wife was killed and their three children are buried under a 60m cargo ship.
The 45-year-old wept as he showed us the only pictures of his family who were wiped out when super typhoon Haiyan hit a month ago tomorrow.
His wife Marilou, 44, daughters Mariel, 20, and Ma Ninia, 13, and 15-year-old son Mahel were all killed when the cargo ship crashed into a house where they were staying.
Arnel told them to take shelter at the building on November 8 because he thought they would be safe.
He found his wife's body but his children's remains are still lost under the tanker and tonnes of rubble.
He cried: "I'm the only one who survived in my family, my wife and my three children died."
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Arnel recalled: "During the morning at 5.30am I took my three kids to one of the three-storey buildings in my village because I thought they would be safe there.
"I didn't expect that the ship would destroy it.
"After I put them there I went back to my own home. I was the only one who was in my original home at the time it came."
Arnel described how the waves started crashing against Barangy 69 in Tacloban city at 6.30am.
He said: "After the first wave came I immediately ran to the hill.
"I saw the ship come and destroy the home where my family was staying.
"I knew there was no way they could survive because the whole of the house was already destroyed.
"When I look at the house where my family is, I collapsed – I feel like going crazy."
After the storm subsided and the waters receded Arnel raced back to the home where his family were staying.
Here he made a grim discovery that will haunt him for ever.
He explained: "I saw my wife under one of the ships. She had no shirt on and she was only wearing her bra. There were nails all over her face.
"For some time I was lost in my mind. I was walking around with no feelings.
"I walked into the centre of Tacloban and I was like a zombie, talking to nobody.
"The next day I came to get the body of my wife back.
"I have still not discovered the bodies of my children – possibly they are still under the ship."
Tomorrow marks one month since Haiyan hit and Oxfam has appealed for people in Ireland to help support the victims of the disaster.
Arnel explained: "It's difficult to continue living without my family. I can only sleep when I am drunk. I don't know if I can take this any more."
He proudly showed us a photo album of his family he has put together in the last month.
He said: "I collected these pictures of my family off Facebook when I went to Manila. They are all I have left. I came back to Tacloban to this home beside where my children are lost because it is the only place I can stay. I have nowhere else."
Arnel's neighbour Bruce Mahilum, 32, was in Manila when he heard the typhoon had hit his home town.
But it was days before he learned his mother, two sisters, two brothers and nephew had all been killed.
Bruce said: "When I see this on the news I try to get back home. I arrived here on November 14.
"Six members of my family are still missing. I think they are buried under the Shell depot."
Less than 20km away another tragic story was recalled for the first time yesterday.
Grandfather Peter Locandazo, 57, lost 22 members of his family when Haiyan struck. His wife Norma Cita, five daughters Raquel, Ma Victoria, Arleen, Joan and Grace, and eight grandchildren all perished.
The pain continues for Peter as he revealed he found Raquel's body yesterday morning.
He showed the Irish Mirror the grave where all of his relatives who have been discovered are buried.
Peter explained: "We were inside my house when the typhoon came. My brother and his family were there as well.
"We were all under the table. When the water came we went to the trestles of the house and we clung on. I saw my children were calling me but I wasn't able to get to them because there was a coconut tree in the house. The big tree hit me in the neck."
Peter grabbed hold of his pregnant daughter and his grand-daughter.
He said: "I could not hold on to them any more and I lost my grip.
"Sometimes I think of the tragedy and my conscience hurts me. Because I let go of them.
"I feel like I am responsible and I can't live with that.
"It's really difficult to continue especially because some of my family are still missing."
Just three of Peter's 25 relatives who were in his home on November 8 survived the typhoon.
His house was destroyed and he is left with nothing. But he will not leave San Joachaim.
He explained: "I can't leave this place because this is my home and I still have problems to solve. Family members are still missing so I want to see them buried." Parish priest Fr Kelvin Apurillo said they have already buried more than 200 bodies in their tiny graveyard.
After narrowly surviving the storm and floods, Fr Kelvin set about counting the remains.
He said: "From 1.30pm on November 8 to 9pm I was blessing the dead. We were counting around 75 dead. Then on the Saturday more dead bodies were brought here.
"We were hoping for the Department of Health to come and tell us what to do with the dead bodies but they were not coming. The local graveyard was completely destroyed and there were bodies washed up there as well so we could not use that."
By Sunday they still had no word from the local government.
Fr Apurillo added: "We had to make a quick decision so we decided to bury the bodies here in the church. Some German workers came and they treated the ground."
Every day since more remains are brought to the priest and they are placed in the mass graves.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council puts the total dead at nearly 5,700.
In its latest update, the agency said the number displaced also rose, passing the four-million mark. These include 28,371 families or 125,225 people in 426 evacuation centres.
Haiyan also left 26,233 injured and 1,779 still missing and affected 2,376,210 families in 12,075 villages across 44 provinces.

It's no secret that the Engineering field is utterly dominated by males. For one reason or another, very few women aspire to become an Engineer. "The real challenges for reaching out to young women is to get over the stereotype that this isn't something girls do and then to help them build their confidence," states Betty Shanahan, executive director of the Society of Women Engineers, a national group based in Chicago.
In the latest stats released by the National Center for Educational Statistics, approximately 17% of the undergraduate engineering degrees awarded in the 2006-2007 school year were to female students. In an effort to help parents steer their daughters towards a career in engineering, we present the following. Hopefully, this information will convince some of the young women out there to pursue an Engineering career.
Engineering is a very exciting profession; one that encourages young women to be imaginative and creative in their careers. By studying for a career in engineering, you will learn how to solve complex problems by coming up with creative solutions that no one else has thought of. If you consider yourself an independent thinker with an analytic mindset, then you would probably make an excellent engineer.
A career in engineering provides unparalleled flexibility, when compared with other professions. One of the greatest advantages of a career in engineering is that it will afford you time to pursue the other things you love in your life. It will also afford you the opportunity to work with interesting people and explore interesting projects outside of the field. If you have a thirst for knowledge and experience, engineering is field of study replete with fascinating and brilliant individuals.
Engineering is also one of the most respected professions in the world, and a degree in engineering reflects a well-educated individual who has learned how to analyze and solve complex problems. For this reason, mechanical engineering jobs can open the door to countless career opportunities outside of the field of engineering. Engineering can serve as a launching pad for careers in government, law, business, medicine, design, architecture and more. Engineers make a lot of money, too. Additionally, few professions provide the stability and security of Engineering.
For girls, one of the most appealing aspects of a career in engineering is that you will be in a position to make a real, lasting difference in the world. Everywhere we look, examples of engineering can be seen. From designing safer cars and more accurate medical testing, to developing better pollution control systems and environmentally-friendly building materials, a career in Engineering will allow you to have a lasting impact and to help make the world a better place.

James Buescher: Why the NASCAR Young Gun Deserves Sprint Cup Ride in 2013April 24, 2012
It's easy enough to be a forgotten man at NASCAR's highest levels.
With so many talented young drivers competing for so few prestigious NASCAR Sprint Cup Series opportunities, it's easy to get lost among the promise that is Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Austin Dillon or Trevor Bayne.
Perhaps that's why one of NASCAR's most brilliant young stars caught relatively few eyes prior to the 2012 NASCAR season.
But so far this year, James Buescher has shown he deserves to be considered for one of those few elusive Sprint Cup rides in 2013.
At just 22 years of age, Buescher is one of the youngest drivers in motorsports. Yet with four years of NASCAR Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series racing under his belt, Buescher has the experience comparable to a wily veteran.
The Plano, TX native has compiled an impressive resume' since joining the NASCAR ranks in 2008.
In just his fourth Nationwide Series start, Buescher earned his first Top 10 at one of NASCAR's top levels, bringing his Braun Racing machine home in seventh at Gateway after starting 41st.
He would also go on to earn the Pole award in just his sixth Nationwide start at Memphis in 2008.
But Buescher's results have gotten exponentially better over the years.
In 2010, Buescher officially arrived as a contender on the NASCAR circuit participating in 22 of the 25 events at the Camping World Truck Series level, earning six Top 5s and 10 Top 10s, including a runner-up finish at New Hampshire.
Buescher finished 11th in the standings in 2010 despite not attempting the season's first three races.
In 2011, Buescher improved even more, contending for wins in the Truck Series on a regular basis and earning a remarkable 19 Top 10s in 24 starts, including 10 Top 5s.
At the Nationwide level, Buescher also managed three Top 10s in just seven starts in 2011.
But in 2012, Buescher has added something else to his résumé: wins.
Buescher has already closed the deal twice this season, earning his first win in one of NASCAR's premier series in the Nationwide event at Daytona, where he masterfully maneuvered his way through a last-lap crash to take the checkered flag at NASCAR's most storied venue.
In his most recent race, Buescher finally claimed that elusive checkered flag at NASCAR's tertiary level, dominating last Saturday's Truck Series race at Kansas which included proven Sprint Cup star Brad Keselowski, whom Buescher out-dueled for the victory.
Through four Truck Series races, Buescher has accumulated three Top 5s, with finishes of third, second and first in his last three races, respectively.
Buescher also sits second in the Truck Series standings behind Timothy Peters after finishing third a year ago.
It's amazing that a driver with Buescher's talent has not been more highly touted, particularly over the last two seasons.
With a résumé nothing short of sparkling, particularly over the last two seasons, Buescher has shown to be a driver who could easily find his way to Victory Lane at NASCAR's top level if given the right opportunity.
In fact, with four years of NASCAR racing already under his belt heading into 2012, Sprint Cup teams may be hard-pressed to find a more mature, experienced young driver to put behind the wheel of a car.
And at 22 years of age, there's no doubt that Buescher's prime is still a few years away, giving him plenty of time to continue to learn and develop into a legitimate Sprint Cup contender.
At the conclusion of the 2012 NASCAR season, several Sprint Cup rides appear to be opening up.
Joe Gibbs Racing, Penske Racing, and several other of NASCAR's top Sprint Cup organizations are slated to have potential openings at season's end.
And if they're smart, those teams will give James Buescher some serious consideration for one of those prestigious rides in 2013.

The Danger of Anger
"Be angry and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your wrath nor give place to the devil."
(Eph. 4:26-27)
Someone once explained to me the subtle difference between anger and danger – only the letter "d" separates the two. When a person is angry, danger is probably not too far away. Anger leads to all sorts of danger. One can be physical danger. We've all heard stories where someone got so enraged that he started beating someone else. Sadly, many women and children have felt the effects of anger and physical abuse.
Anger also produces emotional danger. I know the old saying says, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Unfortunately, that saying is very wrong. For many people, their emotional scars run deeper than anything they've ever suffered physically. Many people struggle with saying some very nasty things when they are angered. Even though the person may not have meant what they said, the damage was done when the words were spoken.
And of course, the greatest damage anger does is spiritual. Anger adversely effects our relationship with God. So what's the solution? The Bible says "be angry and do not sin." That tells me that anger, in and of itself, is not sin; but left unchecked it can lead to sin. Remember, our Savior angrily turned over the money-changer tables in the temple, but in His case He was angry for a righteous cause. But self-serving anger needs to be snuffed out as soon as we feel it rising within us. Otherwise, we will "give place to the devil" to have a field day in our lives. Ask God to remove your anger and replace it with His love and forgiveness.

What is it?
Volkswagen's all-new Jetta saloon. It's headed to UK showrooms in spring 2011, but it'll be bigger news in the US, a market much keener on compact saloons for which this improved and enlarged version of VW's Golf-based four-door has been expressely designed.
VW is aiming for massive sales gains in North America over the next five years. Previous versions of its Jetta and Passat have been over-priced and over-specified for US tastes, it says, and also extremely difficult to make a profit from, having been built in Europe and imported to the US.
See the road test pics of the VW Jetta
This new Jetta will be built exclusively in Puebla, Mexico, and goes on sale in the US this year for less than $16,000. Which makes it as cheap as a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic saloon; cheaper even than a Chevy Cruze in Chevrolet's home market.
Unfortunately, UK versions of the Jetta won't be such compelling value – but they should still look cheap. While entry-level US Jettas make do with cheaper multi-point injection petrol engines, less standard equipment, hydraulic power steering, a torsion beam rear axle and slightly harder cabin plastics, British ones will get more expensive TSI and TDI powerplants, multi-link rear suspension, electro-mechanical power steering and proper slush-moulded dashboards. So they'll cost more than US Jettas to make.

Cancer Home > Velcade Overdose
Vomiting, heart rhythm problems, and internal bleeding could occur if someone receives too much Velcade (bortezomib). However, an overdose on this drug is unlikely to occur, as the injection is given by a healthcare provider. If an overdose does occur, a healthcare provider may administer certain medications or give fluids intravenously (by IV).
Can You Receive Too Much Velcade?Velcade® (bortezomib) is a prescription chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells, and mantle cell lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes. Just like most medicines, it is possible to use too much Velcade.
The specific effects of an overdose can vary, depending on a number of factors, including the Velcade dosage and whether it was combined with any other medications or substances.
Effects of an OverdoseAn intentional overdose with Velcade is unlikely, as the medication is given as an injection by a healthcare provider in a healthcare setting. However, because the dosage is calculated based on an individual's height and weight, a miscalculation could result in too much Velcade being given.
A Velcade overdose can be potentially dangerous. There have been reports of deaths occurring when more than two times the usual recommended dose was given. Based on these reports, as well as animal studies, possible effects of an overdose with this drug may include but are not limited to:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea and vomiting
- A decrease in the amount of platelets in the blood, which could cause internal bleeding
- Dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Increased heart rate
- Heart rhythm problems
- Anemia (low red blood cells)
- Numbness, tingling, pain, or burning feelings of the hands or feet
- Death.

Job In Supermarket Where Alcohol Is Sold
I have a part time job in a supermarket. I have to put alcohol through the tills. I tell myself that I am not selling people alcohol because I am not making profit on it – I am just passing it through the tills. If the supervisor asks me to stock up the alcohol I refuse, saying that I am not willing to make it look tidy, make it more accessible and promote its sale. The first time I had to put a bottle through the till I went home and cried and went in the shower because I felt so dirty. My mum tells me I am being stupid but I don't want to go to hell. I only work there for eight hours a week but I need the money. But is it haraam money? What should I do? It gets more complicated because where I live we are the only Muslim family for miles, since I started working at the supermarket people have started to ask me questions, questions that they wouldn't otherwise have had anyone to pose to had I not been working there (they wouldn't come up to me and ask me in the street.) I am super super polite and I think they've learned a little about Muslims since meeting me - the questions just keep on coming! What should I do? Appreciate a prompt response as I want to do the right thing before I die...
I admire your sincerity to remain in the path of Islam.
People do not go to hell for putting alcohol bottles in shelves. They may go to hell if they act contrary to what they have sincerely come to know as the truth.
You are not working in an alcohol shop, you are working in a supermarket that beside other things also sells alcohol.
In an ideal world, if you had other options available to you, then my advice would have been to go for a job that is not associated with something that is forbidden by God. We are not living in an ideal world. You wrote you needed the money and I understand that at this time this is the only way for you to get some money. In fact in today's world you can hardly find a business that is 100% away from Haram. This of course does not negate the fact that we should always try our best to find the most decent job in terms of our religious values.
Based on the above I do not see you working in that supermarket and handling the bottles of alcohol as a sin. This is simply you trying your best to have financial support while at the same time looking forward to find a job that is less problematic. The very fact that you are aware of this issue and are trying to do your best to be less directly involved with it is a unique opportunity for getting rewards from your Lord. I think part of this reward was to put you in a situation to present the true message of Islam to other people. Insha'Allah another part of this reward will be for you to find a job in the near future that will fully satisfy you from all possible respects

Beijing 2014: Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV
In Beijing debuted a new concept car Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV, which is the transition to mass production could compete bestseller Bavarian BMW X6. On the exit of such a model has been discussed for a long time, however, the German manufacturer of long hesitated to release it, although until now the production version car will have to wait. Premiere full cross-coupe will be held at the end of this year or early next year.
A characteristic feature of the Mercedes Concept Coupe SUV has become very low roofline; the height from the floor to the ceiling is just 1750 millimeters. Partly due to the aggressiveness of the car his body dimensions – width of 2 meters, length – almost 5 meters.

Millville seeks input on proposed hunting and shooting ban
It all started when a bullet landed where it shouldn't have.
"We had an incident in Bishop's Landing," said Eric Evans, code and building official for the Town of Millville. "I don't know how it happened, but the family woke up and found a hole in the house. Somebody's house got shot."
Realizing that Millville has no limits on shooting, Evans proposed a restriction on discharging firearms, crossbows, slingshots and related weapons within town limits.
Millville still has some wide tracts of land — many of which are expected to become dense housing developments in the next 10 years. So the town council is now considering a shooting ban to reduce the likelihood of stray bullets landing in a neighbor's graduation party, or worse.
"It's to protect the citizens of Millville. … It doesn't plan for anything with Second Amendment or anything like that," said Mayor Bob Gordon.
"Everybody has a right to carry," Evans agreed. "Everybody has the right to have it in their home. Everybody has the right to buy as many as you want. Everybody has the right to go out and target practice in the target zone… This is just to protect the citizens from stray bullets flying around in town."
"We have not made any decisions. There is no vote on this tonight," Gordon said at the April 24 meeting.
In his research, Evans said, 10 of 14 local towns prohibit shooting inside town limits. Selbyville prohibits gunfire 100 yards from any residence, except that of the owner, or within 15 yards of public roads. He said some people hunt along the edges of town, where the border is choppy, and one empty field easily leads to another.
The ordinance proposes fines of to $50 initially, then up to $100 for additional offenses, plus court costs.
In recent years, people have asked if hunting and shooting is permitted inside town limits. Evans admitted he's fudged the answer a bit, for public safety.
"You're really not supposed to, because there's just too many homes around. Somebody's house is going to get shot, or something's going to happen. So I really don't recommend it," Evans said. "However, there is no ordinance, and I've bluffed a lot. But some people continue to hunt, and some folks stopped."
Property owner James Powell joined the meeting just as discussion was ending. Although he doesn't reside inside town limits, he's a local native who owns 23 acres, and his father owns 25 adjoining acres along Powell Farm Road and Route 17.
"And I got a lot of interest in shooting. … I hunt on my property. I deer hunt, I duck hunt, I goose hunt, I dove hunt. … If you're going to take my privileges away, I would like to know what's being discussed," Powell said. "If you're going to do that to me, I'm going to see how I can get ex-annexed from the town."
His comments prompted the town council to suggest tweaking the proposed law. Perhaps shooting could be restricted within certain areas, or a certain distance from buildings.
The town council will likely continue discussion of Ordinance 19-01 at their May 8 meeting. Millville Code Chapter 80 already prohibits everyday people from carrying firearms, ammunition and explosives into Town buildings.
Employees get better benefits
Town employees will get a more generous policy regarding sick leave and vacation. Councilman Peter Michel said the new policy brings Millville more in line with what other municipalities offer.
"We're, like, half what most of the towns have. What they're asking is not a lot. It just gets them up to snuff with everyone else. … It's just equal rights and equal hours," Michel said.
When the flu hit hard this winter, some employees relied on personal vacation days when their sick leave expired, Councilman Ronald Belinko said.
Both men said the new policy should help recruit and retain good employees, while honoring the hard work they do and increased workload they will likely see as housing development continues in the future.
The vote was 4-1, with Deputy Mayor Steve Maneri saying he wanted more time to review the policy before voting.
The new policy includes up to 12 paid sick days, plus a range of 10 to 25 paid vacation days, based on tenure. The old vacation policy allowed five to 15 days of vacation.
The change doesn't increase the budget but will reduce the number of employee work-hours.
Earlier this month, the council also approved merit-based pay increases for all staff. The payroll budget increased this year by about 4 percent, or $14,000 in all.
In other Millville Town Council news:
• Local artist John Donato is planning a mural for the Town. The town council is still brainstorming exactly what to include and where to paint it, such as the future playground or inside Town Hall.
Earlier this month, Donato showed the initial concept for a mural going up an interior staircase at Town Hall. It would resemble a curio shelf inside a mill, laden with Millville symbols, such as pumpkins, schooners, the town seal, the signed articles of incorporation and much more.
"You put enough in here, it prompts discussion. … It never gets boring. When people go through it, they're always going to see something new," Donato said.
With bright colors, it would be slightly less whimsical than the vibrantly colored fish and dinosaurs he often paints at local elementary schools.
• Regulations on special-event tents could be removed from the town zoning code Chapter 155-17(C)7 "Temporary Tents" and instead be included in the special-events permit itself. Discussion on Ordinance 19-02 will likely continue at the May 8 meeting.
• This winter, many people were politely baffled by the abstract design of the new holiday lights on the Town's utility poles.
"The Christmas lights this year were not what the Town ordered," Town Manager Debbie Botchie said. "So the company came out and looked at them and said, 'That's not what we ordered.' So, they are replacing our lights with what council approved, and you will see a big difference."
• The town council approved an $11,300 contract, plus time and materials, for George, Miles & Buhr LLC's (GMB's) engineering services for the site work and permitting for the two park buildings. The expense doesn't require public bidding because it's for professional services.
The Millville Town Council's next regular meeting will be the Tuesday, May 8, at 7 p.m.

Every good vacation, whether it's short or long, deserves a good round of pictures, don't you agree? Well, the past couple of days provided a good amount of action shots in the mountains and I thought I'd prolong the relatively relaxing ambience. We allowed ourselves to sleep in on Sunday, all the way until 8am. My dad had been up for awhile watching golf and continued to do so as my mom, sister, dog, and I set off on a quick walk to the other side of town. You might be able to guess our destination…Looney Bean.
I've made it pretty clear that I've gotten hooked on coffee, but when in Mammoth, do as the locals do and that means a trip to Looney Bean Coffee, regardless of what you order. Yesterday my mom and I ordered the frozen vanilla latte, which really turned out to be a milkshake in disguise. No complaints here, but Sunday I was looking for a bit more of a caffeine punch to start my day.
First let me say, these are NOT milkshakes. I perused the menu and decided to go for an iced coffee. I'm still trying to figure out my drink that I could order whenever and wherever I go. It's a pretty good order given the fact that I can customize it with all sorts of flavors and creams on the side. Well, my mom decided she would do the same, but was a little taken aback when it came out just.black.coffee. I told her I wasn't finished and to hold her horses. With a little bit of cream, cinnamon and whipped cream (I think that's what my mom really was hinting at…it was our vacation after all), we were ready to go. I've never tried putting cinnamon in my coffee but really liked the creation. I picked up the trick from my friend Laura when we went to Urth Cafe the other day.
After breakfast, which consisted of another delicious berry + yogurt parfait, we selected a moderate hike to one of the local lakes and were soon on our way. It's a running joke in our family that my dad likes to select the death march hikes, the ones that are rated "more than strenuous," climb vertically up the mountain, and go on for miles. We actually haven't completed one of these hikes in a few years, probably due to the vigorous training schedule my sister is on and the insistance we not do anything out of the ordinary. So, a hike to Crystal Lake (off the Mammoth Crest trail by Lake George) it was. According to Meghan, we were hiking for about 1 hr 45 min, and this was not counting the time stopped to gaze longingly at the cool, crisp water, wishing we had packed swimsuits.
Back down, around around Lake George, and home for lunch. I mentioned earlier, our "relatively" relaxing ambience. Among some other issues we ran into, we happened to be surprised by an impromptu rain storm on Sunday afternoon.
Just as we made it up our first hill to Twin Lakes, we could hear the clouds rumble. I had thought they might subside as they had yesterday, but alas, as we rounded the corner of our second hill, the drops started to
fall pelt us from above. I knew my dad would say at the end, "well that was fun, wasn't it?" Let's just say it was quite the adventure and never a dull moment in our household.
As I had mentioned previously, a trip to Mammoth is not complete without a stop by Schat's bakery. They are known for their shepherder's bread but I HIGHLY recommend the cheesy bread. Paired with some spaghetti and meat sauce in the winter and it's quite delightful. Maybe it's just my obsession with cheese or maybe it truly is the magic of the mountains. You'll have to decide for yourself.
Ah and one thing we could NOT have left without doing…celebrating National Ice Cream day and indulging in an ice cream cone. When we were in the United Kingdom, our tour guide told us that a vacation is not complete without an ice cream cone. Well, I guess I'm on vacation every day then. 😉 But really, after battling the wet pavement and hills of the sierras in the rain, Meghan and I were more than happy to stop by the Village on our way home.
My mom had spotted this beauty (Liz Lemon – lemon frozen yogurt with blueberry swirl) the other day and it had to be sampled. Yes, a perfect blend of summer flavors – tart lemon with just the perfect amount of berry sweetness. Frozen yogurt also provides the perfect amount of creaminess without being too heavy like some ice creams (though I don't discriminate) and without being too tart like some sorbets.
Dinner on Sunday was not nearly as gourmet as our feast on Saturday. My mom had made taco carne asada in the crock pot, which gave way to unbelievably tender meat, perfect for tacos, tostadas, or a quesadilla. Instead, I settled for a KIND bar, apple, cherries, and carrots. Followed up by some milk and coconut-chia pudding once we arrived home. But because the later really doesn't sound too picture perfect (and it wasn't) I'll leave you with this.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and are avoiding the heat wave. It was certainly warmer than expected and normal in Mammoth. A trip to the mountains is always a classic in our family, but I've found a list of the top 10 trips you must do in your 20's. It's prepared by Buzzfeed and it's pretty neat. Take a look 🙂

The cause for the outrage surrounding this Macchiato topped with fluffy, lightly sweetened foam, is that it's not vegan. I wasn't aware that Ari was vegan, but her fans are. And, they are livid. To top it off, there's not vegan option, due to the foam that crowns it having a main ingredient of egg whites.
Drama aside, the Cloud Macchiato comes in two flavors, cinnamon and caramel. If you've been following for a while, you know I prefer the super sweet flavor of caramel in my drinks. This is no different. This post is going to be a little bit of a roller coaster, because at first, I didn't like it. But after about 15 sips, and sloshing it in the cup, I eventually decided I kind of dig it.

Tried @starbucks new #cloudmacchiato yesterday! It was a rolleecoaster that I eventually decided I really liked 🙂 . . #postincoming☕👖 and I highly reccomend this one! . . #coffeelover #coffeelife #coffeeholic #caffeine #coffeebreak #instacoffee #coffeelovers #coffeeaddict #coffeelove #coffeeoftheday #coffeetime #coffeecup #coffee #morning #yummy #drink
I was so excited to try it, not because of the origin, but because I've always loved macchiatos. I firmly expected to love this right off the bat. At first sip, which I took without stirring or sloshing, was a bitter affront to my taste-buds. I mean, maybe I do like my drinks overly-sweetened, but this was on a different level. I did notice a richness hiding under the sharp bite that greeted me. And, once I got the courage to drink a little more, I notice the foam had sunken into the drink and toned down the flavor to a mild nuttiness with some kick.
Taste; /5
I award this one a 4/5, I don't feel like I can give it a five just because it was a little of a hit and miss for me. In the end I did enjoy it, but it wasn't the best macchiato. While not being the worst, either. I do think that a 4 is a fair rating for the Cloud Macchiato.

Packers and Movers in Lucknow
Lucknow is a city that can be well-defined with historical monuments, shopping centers, and popular business centers. The garments and leather industry in Lucknow has attracted traders from all states from the country. The early settlers were all traders and businessmen in Lucknow. But with the growth in financial institutions in the place more people came to call Lucknow their home. It is a way that the movers and packers in Lucknow began to earn more. There were several packers and movers companies established in Lucknow during the 1990's. These companies became extremely handy in assisting the people in relocating their homes, goods, and assets. They make sure that they live up to expectation of the clients. This is one of the great strategies followed by the Lucknow packers and movers.

Influenza communication guide: How to increase influenza vaccination uptake and promote preventive measures to limit its spread
The influenza vaccination communication guide provide advice, guidance and campaign materials to support national influenza vaccination campaigns with the purpose of increasing the influenza vaccination uptake in the EU Member States.

Communication on immunisation
Traditional interventions are no longer seen as enough to effectively prevent and control vaccine-preventable diseases. Research shows that properly designed behaviour-based health communication activities can have a significant positive impact on health-related attitudes, beliefs and behaviours.
Communication toolkits
Communication toolkits are easily adaptable. They contain practical template materials (text, layouts, images, etc.), suggested key messages for specific priority audiences and ideas for awareness-raising activities on prevention and control of communicable diseases. Toolkit materials can be used as a whole or taken in parts, to fit national strategies and needs.
Meeting report: Understanding the behavioural aspects and the role of health communication in mitigating the impact of seasonal influenza
The meeting report covers health communication strategies that could be undertaken to better promote influenza prevention measures and the healthcare professionals' role in the uptake of seasonal influenza vaccination.
Seasonal influenza vaccines
Seasonal influenza is a vaccine-preventable disease and annual influenza vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza. ECDC continues to emphasise that all Europeans who are recommended to have the influenza vaccine should get vaccinated. Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of serious influenza complications: Individuals with specific chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, and children aged 6-59 months, the elderly and healthcare workers.
Immunisation and vaccines
Vaccines represent one of the most effective and cost-saving public health intervention.

Purchasing gold bullion is basically purchasing gold in bulk form. Some consider purchasing gold is an investment. So if you plan on purchasing gold bullion, there are some very important things to keep in mind.
It is possible that you can purchase the highest quality gold bullion in Brisbane. It is a simple matter of what you are seeking as far as gold bullion is concerned. It would also help if you had some knowledge about Australian gold coins. When it comes to gold coins, you should avoid purchasing rare type coins. A rare coin could end up having very little value. In addition, it is best to purchase bullion coins that weigh at least one ounce or more. Coins which have little history behind them will more than likely never be worth any money on the open market.
It is important that you know the difference between numismatic and bullion coins. The value of gold bullion is determined by the amount of gold contained within the coin. Bullion coins have absolutely no collectible value.
Understanding the Seller's Policies
It is important to inquire about the seller's buy back policy too. It is best to find a seller that has a policy about buying back any coins or other gold if you wish to return it back to the original seller. Finally, ask for a copy of their policy in writing prior to making any gold purchase.
Check the Gold's Purity
Check the purity rate of the gold you wish to purchase. Any gold bullion you purchase should have a purity rate of 99.5% and better. A gold purity of 99.5 and higher can almost guarantee that you do not end up getting ripped off. Keep in mind that gold bullion bars are quite large. Gold bars normally weight about 12 kg.
Start in Small Quantities
It is best to purchase gold in small quantities especially if you are a first time gold buyer. Purchasing large quantities of gold whether it be coins or gold bars can end up being quite costly. You never want to invest all of your money in gold coins or gold bars as it could be a costly mistake.
Price Comparison & Gold Storage
Most importantly, always compare gold prices. You have to make sure that you are not in any way over charged for your gold purchase. Dealers have been known to raise the prices on certain gold pieces when in fact the gold is not worth the higher price they choose to charge.
Finally, when you receive your gold you should have a secure place to store your gold pieces. Storing gold in a secure safe or vault would be a wise decision. It is not very expensive to rent a storage box within a bank too. Also, if desired you can insure your gold depending upon its worth.
Remember the points discussed in this article if you have plans to invest in gold bullion in the future. It would really help if you have knowledge before you invest in anything.
