PIF is delighted to be holding an event on Involving Users in Developing Health Information, on Wednesday 17 May 2017, in London.
The event will share practical case studies and learning, and will support participants to consider:
- Understanding user needs
- How to involve users at each step of information resource development
- How to involve disadvantaged groups, and/or go beyond talking to the most engaged users
- Taking a co-production approach
- Different methods for engaging and seeking feedback from users
PIF's events are a great opportunity to network with others working in the field of health information and support. A dedicated networking session will encourage delegates to share how you involve users and what challenges you face.
Attending the day will provide you with a great opportunity to make connections and build new partnerships to drive your work and projects forwards.

Relationship Information, Quotes, and Trivia
Where and/or how did Katy Perry and Russell Brand meet?
They met when "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" filmmaker Nick Stoller set up a shoot at the VMAs to score celeb cameos for his Aldous Snow spin-off. The only problem was that Perry was still entwined with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy. But when Perry returned to the 2009 VMAs as a single lady, it was on. When it came to orchestrating a grand entrance for returning master of ceremonies Brand, VMA folks thought the pop star could play a key role. After flirting their way through rehearsals, producers saw the British funnyman promising to call Perry later on.

Classic Quotes by Katy Perry and Russell Brand about their relationship:
"We both needed balance, and we give that to each other. It wasn't about me taming him...it was about timing." Katy Perry 2/2011
"It was a deep craving within me - I mistook it for lust. I thought I was promiscuous, but it turns out I was just thorough - to get the right one. I'm ever so happy...I don't know, get married, you say? That would be good, isn't it? I want to have children - that would be good. Russell Brand 12/2009
"I'm excited to find a partner who can just be my teammate. And there's got to be respect. For me, that's hard because it's easy for me to steamroll guys. I need a man who tells me the party's over, that it's time to go home, because [we] have to work in the morning." Katy Perry 12/2009
"When [Russell] was filming 'Get Him to the Greek,' I did a cameo with him. My scene called for me to make out with him. And on the way down the stairs after the scene, I was hopping like a bunny. I hop like a bunny when I'm happy - I get a bit childlike." Katy Perry 12/2009
"A baby can't have a baby and I'm still a baby." Katy Perry
When I got divorced, I considered becoming a monk. When you're a monk, you're not allowed to have sex with anyone. When you're married, it's one person. That's one more than a monk. It's not that different. I'd be having sex thinking, Think of anyone, anyone else. Russell Brand

The problem is that I was in the game on normal play, but the game play is no lag.No while nhit mouse is not, and when you implement no lag im capacity?Who can help yourself how do you overcome it?thanks you if help me.
If you are playing from Vietnam, then the lag issue could be due to governmental restrictions placed on data traffic of Firefall. To overcome that would require much more than we or can handle. The best thing I can suggest is trying out the game on several different types of internet connections if you are in VN, especially a high speed connection in a nice hotel to check if it is a governmental restriction placed on the game's traffic.. Xin lỗi anh.
btw, could be bad ISP (2mb connection(i'm using 6mb connection, still got massive lagspikes , and he's playing from an public internet roon, no doubt he have lag)

Thanks, Chris. Storm is very excited about making it to the small screen – and I am hopeful my new website will be live within this next week! Fingers crossed. Happy Saturday in Sydney – Melbourne is sunny and gorgeous, again! Cheers, Krista
It's great having bookish friends for lots of years and even though Krista lives in the southern half of the country we still have bumped into each other and communicated with each other for ages so of course I am thrilled to have her desk feature today! Next time I am down that way I am stopping in for a sit on the lounge and attention from Storm!!
So now – for this post, we get to have a Look at the Desk, the Creative Space of Krista Bell.
We bought our 1930s art deco house, 'Baarrooka' (like ducks resting on water!), seven years ago this week and then renovated. As I needed a dedicated creative space we extended the tiny third bedroom into a spacious library with fold-out sofa to accommodate guests. I then needed a large desk, but found nothing I liked and could afford.
Eventually, scrounging around in a warehouse full of junk, I spotted an abused art deco dining room table made of oak and stained black. It was covered with a plethora of rusting paint cans and dead vacuum cleaners! The guy laughed when I enquired about its price, but agreed to strip it back, polish it and deliver it to me for a song! He almost cried when he finally put it in place in my library, asking if I really wanted it, because he could sell it for a far higher price as a dining table!
My desktop wooden ducks remind me of my trip to China in 2007, the inspiration for both PEEKING DUCKS and WARRIORS. I keep books about Italy on my desk (am loving ITALIANISSIMO) to focus on my writing stories for children set in Italy. During my annual solo adventure in Italy, I study the language for a few weeks in exotic places like Verona, Firenze and Taormina, Sicily, as well as researching story ideas, so naturally my suitcases are always at the ready beside my desk! My wall calendar is of course entitled ITALIA!
Although we live right on the train line, 12 kms from the city, my library is a peaceful haven with garden views on two sides. My very laid-back dog, 'Storm' keeps me company and helps make difficult decisions as I draft my stories and read them out loud to her! The only disagreement we ever have is that she goes crazy if I speak to her in Italian. The irony is that she enjoys watching Inspector Rex dvd's on my iMac, especially when he barks his lines!
Krista will very, very shortly have a new look website so do have a look at that. And of course new books too … Peeking Ducks is terrify and I have seen Warriors … it's just wonderful!
Thanks Krista for sharing your creative space!
Thanks, Chris. Storm is very excited about making it to the small screen – and I am hopeful my new website will be live within this next week! Fingers crossed. Happy Saturday in Sydney – Melbourne is sunny and gorgeous, again! Cheers, Krista
More on the Carolinas later but Pam Vaughan (official photographer for the New England conference last weekend) has just sent me oodles and poodles of photos … so if you don't want to see piccies of me in action – then look away now! There are photos of me with friends, of me panelling, photos […]

It is the powerful and haunting story of Emily Cartwright, a young Englishwoman sent to visit her father's plantation in the West Indies, and of Cambridge, the plantation slave struggling to maintain his dignity in a transient world.

Our Opinion
A suitable resort for young travelers. The resort is near a fairly large beach. There are plenty of buffet items, and the staff are relatively pleasant and attentive. Evenings and weekends tend to get relatively lively. This resort is well suited for those who are wanting to experience lively nightlife. The resort gets extremely busy during spring break.Overview
Location: On the beach, 25 minute drive from the airport and a 15 minute drive to downtown.
Traveler Reviews
Old, cheap and horrible
If you are looking for something cheap it's what you will get, everything is low quality, the ham, sausage, booze, everything!And they haven't done any maintenance in more than a decade, really do your self a favor and stay elsewhere.
No, no and NO!
Go only if you like:- To be in an old hotel (not exactly an "historical" one).- Want to be into a filthy, dirty room.- Old air conditioning system- To be in a terrible beach are (unless you like to have a hard walk to go through people).- Terrible attitude from the Front Desk personnel.- To wait hours in your room in order to get fixed something (safety box).- Like to park your car into a dusty parking lot. - Paying a lot for something not being its real value (expensive for THIS type of hotel).The only good thing: good space in the rooms, all rooms have good view to the ocean, but that's it.
Didn't even stayed there
It all began with the guard that oversees the cars entrance, in the most rude manner told me to give my car to the parking people after he didn't even bothered to tell me that the valet is mandatory for all cars, there is no shade at all so the cars get all the sun directly all day... After I handed my keys to the valet we went to the front desk where the person that was charging me over 40% the rate that was confirmed by booking.com and he couldn't even knew what to say when I asked him why and even showed him the confirmation e-mail that was provided by booking.com, not counting on the fact that he was going to give me my rooms until 3pm and it was noon, I even asked to let us use the pool for 3 hours and didn't allowed us. So I got tired of dealing with them and took my family right next door to the Crowne Plaza, for the same price I got the 3rd night free of charge and an upgrade, the valet parked my car in the shade and they gave me my rooms right away all with a smile on their faces... Finally when I went up to my Crowne Plaza suite I noticed that the pool at the Playa Suites looks grey and dirty... I don't know about you but I don't enjoy overpaying to be mistreated and bullied... So it's up to you if you decide to stay at the Playa Suites.
1970s grotty hotel on lovely beach
I stayed here with my children over Easter weekend for 3 days. Its a lovely location but the hotel is a complete dump, calling the rooms suites and saying they have a kitchenette is a joke! It looks like it was built in the 70s and that is the way it has stayed, nothing seems to have been done since then. There are only 2 lifts/elevators in each building and at a ram packed cant move time like Easter, getting one is laughable! They even have a staff member in the elevator/lift to operate it, not because its a top end luxury resort, I can assure you!We stayed on a room only basis so cant comment on the food or drink etc. The view was fab from the room and the beds were comfy, nice firm mattress which I like.I didn't have much interaction with the staff but my observations of the reception staff were they were completely uninterested in their jobs or the customers.I had 1 problem whilst there when my little girl was sick very late at night all over the bed and the staff made me wait an hour and call 3 times to actually get someone to send up a clean sheet so I could change the bed. In an upsetting stressful situation with a sick child, they treated us very badly.Would I stay there again?? you must be joking! I only stayed there as I had a booking after for 10 days at the place next door and the rates were sky high at Easter so opted for the cheaper choice here for our first 3 days after our long flight.
great place, great staff, amazing weather
we had a great time, this was our second time here. the views from our balcony were second to none. very clean hotel, great staff. lots of activities.great food, very safe,basket of fruit and wine waiting in room when we checked in.30 degrees everyday, sun shine, plenty of room on beach and around the pools for relaxing and lounging.we know couples that spend all winter here, they love it.now we know why they stay so long they love it there.thanks to the great staff for showing us a great time.

We have one left New old stock Minelab explorer SE pro
Maximum results, for serious detectorists.
Minelab's multiple frequencyFull band spectrum(FBS) technology is the only technology in the world that provides the serious treasure hunter with both deep detection and deep precision discrimination, regardless of ground conditions and target type.
Minelab's FBS technology simultaneously transmits 28 multiple frequencies from 1.5kHz to 100kHz. The lower the frequency used by a detector, the deeper it can penetrate. At low frequencies however, the sensitivity to small targets is sometimes reduced. The higher the frequency, the higher the sensitivity to small targets, but higher frequencies will not penetrate the ground as deeply. The increased frequency range of the Explorer SE Pro means more sensitive and accurate target identification at greater depths.
FBS technology also improves the detector's ability to cancel ground mineralisation. Ground balancing is automatic, so whatever the field conditions, the Explorer SE Pro maximises the depth, sensitivity and discrimination.
Serious detectorists understand that every outing is a unique opportunity in time that needs to be enjoyed and maximised. Minelab's Explorer SE Pro detector will handle varying conditions with maximum results!
- Full Band Spectrum™ (FBS) multiple frequency technology.
- New lightweight, perfectly balanced waterproof ultra-light & ultra-tough 11" Double-D coil
- NiMH battery pack or 8 x AA Alkaline batteries for long battery life.
- 3rd generation software with faster and more powerful microprocessor.
- Full function advanced programming.
- Unique dual coordinate target profiling with patented smart find
- Full ferrous Iron Mask discrimination.
- Easy learning curve with Quickstart Mode.
- Intuitive user interface with large, easy to read target coordinates.
- Fine sensitivity, threshold and volume adjust controls.

These are all the fabulous people I got to hang out with all weekend:
Carmen seaschell.blogspot.com
When we arrived, Tara had put together the greatest gift bags for each participant. The bag is in the top picture stuffed to the brim with cool items.
She made us tags to wear so we could all learn each other's names. I love my name tag!
She also made a dresden pincushion for us to use on the trip. Can you believe that I previously did not own a single pincushion? I don't know how I made it three years of sewing without ever having a pincushion, but somehow I did. Thankfully, that was quickly resolved by this beautiful pincushion!
There were all kinds of goodies in the bag, including homemade soap, lip balm, and lotion. I can't wait to use the Saral paper after reading so many good things about it on Penny's blog. I am just starting to try embroidery, and I think this would be perfect for that. There was also a bag of scraps, a laminated notebook of graph paper, and an American Patchwork magazine. So many goodies were inside!
There was also a key chain that Tara made which I love. I am now using it everyday, and it really helps me find my keys in my huge bag of a purse.
On the last day, there were prizes for all the participants. I won this lovely stack of fabric. My favorite colors are blue and green, so this was perfect for me.
Isn't that bird print on the far left perfect? I can't wait to put these to use in a quilt.
At the end of the retreat, we swapped potholders! Everybody brought a potholder to swap to the retreat.
These are all of the potholders together from left to right: Penny, Carmen, Tara, me, AmandaJean, and Melinda.
I brought this potholder that I made. It was really fun to make, but I did not do the best job sewing the binding to the back!
I received a potholder from Penny, and it is so beautiful! I love that it has a pocket for your hand, so your hand doesn't get burned. The patchwork is so cute, and I adore the blue floral print. It is perfect!
The back has the most perfect fabric for a potholder that I have ever seen. This is such a great print.
On Saturday morning, we worked on paper piecing. We worked on a couple different projects to practice with, and I made this pincushion. Did you notice that I now have two pincushions? My collection has now doubled! This was really quite fun to make, and I think it would be fun to have the whole alphabet. These would be neat for beanbags for little kids, too.
So I went from having no pincushions to owning three in a period of three days! I love them all, and it will be so nice to be able to have one next to my sewing machine, one next to my ironing board, and one next to my cutting board. Now I want to make pincushions!
On Saturday afternoon, Penny taught us about improv piecing. I want to make my daughter a quilt one day out of the fabric I have used to make all of her dresses, so I made a dress that mimicked one that I had made her. I drew out the dress and then improv pieced it together with a curved seam at the bottom. Penny did a great job explaining how to do all kinds of different seams and piecing, and I feel like I learned so much from her. She is a wonderful teacher, and I encourage everyone who has the chance to take a class from her to do it! You have to go to her blog and check out all the awesome paper pieced blocks she has put together!
Sunday morning we worked on taking an idea and creating our own pattern for piecing it together. I created one for a dress based off one of my daughter's dresses. I am still playing around with it to figure out the best way to sew together the neckline, but I am really inspired to be able to figure out a pattern on my own.
There was also time at the retreat to work on our own projects, so I pulled out my ABC blocks from the Sewconnected Virtual Quilting Bee that I was a part of a while back to work on while I was there. I thought it was neat to work on this quilt while I was with Amanda Jean who had been part of that virtual bee. So I actually got to meet and sew with someone from a virtual bee in real life, which was really fun and exciting. These are the two blocks I finished for that quilt while I was at the retreat.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tara cooked delicious food, Penny was a fabulous teacher, and Melinda, Carmen, and Amanda Jean were all such funny, nice, and wonderful people that it really made the whole weekend an outstanding experience.

During a busy day, it can become all too easy to focus on the negative. You might feel tired, overworked, and stressed out by all of the conflicting demands on your time. As a result, negative thoughts can creep into your mind. While you know that thinking positively is better for your state of mind, you might be surprised to learn that it can also be good for your health. Research has demonstrated that positive thinking can have a wide variety of benefits, from improving your self-confidence and psychological well-being to actually boosting your physical health.

So what can you do to eliminate negative thoughts and replace them with a more positive outlook? Even if you are not a natural-born optimist, there are things you can do to develop your positive thinking skills and reap some of the benefits of positive thinking.

Focus On Your Thoughts

In order to be a positive thinker, you need to learn how to really analyze your thoughts. The stream-of-conscious flow of thought can be difficult to focus on, especially if introspection is not your strong suit. When you encounter a challenging situation, try to notice how you think about what is happening. Do you engage in negative self-talk? Do you mentally criticize yourself or others? This negative thinking presents a major obstacle, but identifying such thoughts is the first step in overcoming them.

Some of the most common types of negative thinking involve focusing on only the undesirable aspects of a situation. For example, let's imagine that you have just spent a busy day at work. You gave a presentation and completed several tasks ahead of schedule, but you forgot to return an important phone call. Despite the successes of the day, that evening you find yourself ruminating on that one slip-up and worry how it will affect your success at work. Instead of reflecting on the positive and acknowledging the negative, you are ignoring the good and magnifying the bad.

Self-blame is another common type of negative thinking. When your department does not reach its sales quota for the month, you blame yourself rather than acknowledging that the slow economy has led to fewer sales overall. This type of negative thinking can be particularly damaging to your psychological well-being. By taking the blame for things that are not your fault or are not in your control, your self-esteem and self-confidence take a serious hit.

How to Become a Positive Thinker

Changing the negative thought cycle can be a challenge and it is a process that takes time. It is important to note that repeating the platitudes that are often recommended by self-help books ("I'm good enough! I'm smart enough! People like me!") can actually have a negative impact on your self-image. Positive thinking is not about putting on a pair of rose-colored glasses and ignoring all the negative things you will encounter in life. That approach can be just as devastating as ignoring the positive and only focusing on the negative. Balance, with a healthy dose of realism, is the key.

So what can you do when you find yourself overwhelmed with negative thoughts? Start with small steps. After all, you are essentially trying to cultivate a new habit here, and as anyone who has ever tried to change a behavior or keep a resolution can tell you, these things take time.

Start by identifying one area of your life that is most affected by negative thinking. Perhaps you tend to think negatively about your personal appearance or your performance in school. By starting with a single and relatively specific area of your life, the changes will be more likely to stick over the long-run.

So, let's imagine that you have chosen to focus on your negative thinking with regards to school. The next step is to spend a little bit of time each day evaluating your own thoughts. When you find yourself thinking critical thoughts about yourself, take a moment to pause and reflect. While you might be upset about getting a bad grade on an exam, is berating yourself really the best approach? Is there any way to put a positive spin on the situation? While you might not have done well on this exam, at least you have a better indication of how to structure your study time for the next big test.

Watch carefully for negative self-talk. When your inner monologue starts suggesting that you will never get your assignments done on time or that the work is too hard, find a way to take a more positive view of the situation. For example, if you are struggling to finish a research paper on time, look for ways that you can rearrange your schedule to make more time for the project rather than giving into hopelessness. When a homework assignment seems too difficult to complete, see if taking a different approach to the problem or seeking out assistance from a classmate might help.

Being a positive thinker is not about ignoring reality in favor of aspirational thoughts. It is more about taking a proactive approach to your life. Instead of feeling hopeless or overwhelmed, positive thinking allows you to tackle life's challenges by looking for effective ways to resolve conflict and come up with creative solutions to problems. It might not be easy, but the positive impact it will have on your mental, emotional, and physical health will be well-worth it. It takes practice; lots of practice. This is not a step-by-step process that you can complete and be done with. Instead, it involves a lifelong commitment to looking inside yourself and being willing to challenge negative thoughts and make positive changes.

Motivated by the arrival of my new wire basket and hook storage unit, the half bath got an interim update.
I spotted this beauty on pinterest. There was another one I had eyed a year ago, but the cost was prohibitive. I guessed/hoped my wall measurement was 23", (I mean how smaller could a bathroom be?!) and purchased right away. Well, half an inch smaller I discovered when I went home and measured. I hoped someone had a faulty tape measure, and if not that, I imagined myself rewiring the end of the baskets so I could squish them in.
Squishing and rewiring were not necessary, thankfully there was a wood plank that extended each side of the baskets. An easy fix with a saw and sandpaper.
Anxious to get it on the wall and store some pretty things on it, I decided to use up some DOVE WHITE paint I had on hand. Bought this for my living room, but didn't LOVE the contrast with Chantilly Lace trim. The paint designer had suggested this white as it had a gray tint which may go well with my gray striped wall. Nope, not the white on white contrast I was looking for. BUT it looks good in the bathroom. More creamy and warm, then cool and gray.
Initially, I was going in to paint ONLY what was needed so I could install the wire basket (impetuous, am I?). But the wood frame around the window had always bothered me, so I spent the day giving my bathroom a much needed update.
Interim update you wonder? This half bath is off of the kitchen. The kitchen is mid renovation, waiting for a floor. The half bath will get a new floor at the same time, and a new toilet and sink and medicine cabinet. And I was going to wallpaper the top half of the bathroom. I bought this beautiful wallpaper 6+ months ago, when it dropped 50% in price. I still love the wallpaper, but this is what happens when you get things to soon in advance of actually doing the work. Other ideas occur. I love this antique wire basket and displaying some of my neglected collectibles but not sure how it will look with a colourful back drop ... for the time being we can enjoy the white paint!
And while I painted the top half of bathroom, little people were painting just outside the door.
Peace, folks.

Arapahoe High gunman entered school through door that was supposed to be locked
On the morning of December 13, eighteen-year-old Karl Pierson gave no indication that anything was amiss, according to Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson. He took the time to have a meal and go bowling by himself.
Then, at around 12:30 p.m., he entered Arapahoe High School through a door that was supposed to be locked but was commonly left ajar. Armed with a shotgun, a machete, three Molotov cocktails and many bullets, he fired six shots -- one of which fatally wounded student Claire Davis and the last of which took his own life.
Those details and more were revealed this morning at a news conference hosted by Robinson and attended by Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler and Undersheriff David Walcher. Robinson spoke eloquently about Davis, a seventeen-year-old who he said "has left an impact on my life." He said the young woman "was very much engaged in the responsibility and process of preparing herself for her future" -- a future, he added, "that was taken from her and taken from this community by a murderer."
Throughout the entire press conference, Robinson never said Pierson's name. Instead, he referred to him as "the murderer" -- even while reporters called him "the gunman" or "the shooter." "There's no question that the person who entered that school armed is a murderer," he said. "He entered that school with evil intent and he entered that school with the focus of doing the maximum amount of harm to the maximum amount of people."

Robinson explained that the investigation thus far has revealed that Pierson entered the school's north side through a door that had been "probably blocked open, which is pretty much standard protocol because it's inconvenient for people to come and go from another area." He made no effort to conceal the fact that he was armed, Robinson said.
He immediately fired one round "randomly" down the hallway, according to Robinson. He then shot a second round directly at Davis, followed by a third round aimed down the hallway. Pierson proceeded to the library, where he fired two rounds "into the immediate area of the offices of the librarian and speech coach," Robinson said -- a man whom investigators believe was the gunman's intended target. Early on, investigators said Pierson's motive seems to be related to a disagreement with the speech coach.
Pierson was carrying three Molotov cocktails in his backpack, and Robinson said he ignited one of them in the library, which created a fire that burned four bookshelves and triggered the smoke alarm. He then fired a sixth round, taking his own life, Robinson said.
An examination of his body showed the Latin phrase "Alea iacta est" -- which means "The die has been cast" -- scrawled on his forearm in indelible marker. Also on his forearm were five numbers that correspond to the library and classrooms, Robinson said.
"It took less than one minute, twenty seconds from the time the murderer entered the school until his body was lying on the floor in the library," Robinson said.
Continue for more details from today's press conference.
In that time, a janitor initiated the school lockdown procedure and School Resource Officer James Englert and an unarmed school security guard, Rod Mauler (who is a retired Arapahoe County deputy sheriff, Robinson noted), ran to the library in accordance with a protocol known as "run to the thunder." The reason it's called that, Robinson said, is because "when gunshots are fired inside a school, the echo up and down the hallways sounds exactly like you might imagine thunder might sound."
The lockdown procedure was "absolutely a critical element to the fact that we don't have additional injury and death in this situation," Robinson said. Furthermore, he said it's likely that Pierson understood that Englert and Mauler were responding to the library. When murderers realize the police are coming, they will often take their own lives, he said.
But Robinson reiterated that Pierson's intent was to hurt more people. He had more than 125 rounds of ammunition with him, in addition to the 12-gauge shotgun that he'd legally purchased from a local store on December 6. "We know that up until the very last half hour of December 13, 2013, around twelve noon, the murderer was still in the planning process and taking steps to purchase additional ammunition," Robinson said.
However, it's likely that Pierson did his planning alone, Robinson said: "Our belief is that the murderer planned the events on his own and he executed that evil plan on his own."
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Robinson said he walked through the school and saw "a variety of compelling things." One thing that struck him, he said, were all the backpacks, laptop computers, cell phones and notebooks that students and staff had abandoned on their desks when the school went into lockdown.
"When I first saw those, it struck me as so sad," he said. "But I immediately thought to myself, 'Maybe not. Maybe this is something we should celebrate.'" Prior to 12:30 p.m., those computers and cell phones were very important to the students and the staff, he said. But that changed the instant that the lockdown went into effect at 12:33 p.m. "At 12:34, individuals were important," Robinson said -- and those individuals were safely evacuated from the school by 2:47 p.m. and reunited with their families by 5 p.m.
Undersheriff Walcher said the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office plans to contract with a third-party analyst to review, generally, "what went well and why, and lessons learned." Though there is no timeline for the review, Walcher said it will likely include a detailed description of the tragedy, as well as an analysis of the law enforcement response, the dissemination of information and the impact of prior training, among other topics.
The investigation is ongoing. DA Brauchler said he's issued twelve search warrants and expects to issue more, possibly for Pierson's school and health records. "The goal here is to come up with as many answers as possible," he said. As a father himself, Brauchler said he wants to know if this tragedy could have been prevented.
Robinson also spoke a bit about Englert, the school resource officer who was one of the first on the scene. At the request of Davis's family, Englert was a pallbearer at the seventeen-year-old's funeral, Robinson said.
"James Englert is a hero; there is no question," Robinson said. "James responded heroically and he saved lives." Robinson said that Englert, who students consider a Warrior, plans to be on duty when classes resume at Arapahoe High on January 6.

Kolkata: May 23, 2013
A bookie and nine of his associates were arrested in Kolkata, police on Thursday said, adding that they were investigating if the culprits had links with the ongoing IPL spot fixing controversy.
Bookie Ajit Surekha and others were nabbed on Wednesday night from their hideout in north Kolkata and several mobile phones, a laptop and cash were seized, police said.
"Although we are yet to find any links with the ongoing IPL spot fixing scam, we are probing the matter," said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Pallab Kanti Ghosh.
All the 10 accused were presented in a city court. The accused were arrested in a joint operation by the police special task force and detective department, an official said.

I have been watching USO and am trying to understand when do you hop. My coach said you should get off your feet right before the server is making contact and land when contact is made. The key is that your feet should land on the ground when the ball is striking the servers racket. Does this make any sense? Thanks, ken
That's what I was always taught too. But I've found that splitting so that I come down just *before* my opponent makes contact (on serves and groundies) works better for me.
That is correct and the reason why is you are unloading the weight from your feet and allowing your body to move in any direction. IF your weight has settled over your feet and towards your heels it is hard to move quickly for a service return. The key is to unsettle the weight off of your feet and not let it settle before you make your move. The term many sport disciplines call it is "being light on your feet."
I know this is an old post, but I wanted to re-visit it. As far as the hop and split step goes, tape Federer in a match or if you have one already, watch it in frame by frame speed. Here you will see one thing that Roger does so very well. It takes me several minutes to watch one point played out. I go back and watch the opponent hit, recover, move, hop to split step and then go back and watch Federer do the same. There is a lot that can be learned from watching this. It is not so much that he does it so well over and over again, it is how well "timed" his motion is. He seems to gain time each time the ball crosses the net during a point. If the opponent does not hit a really good shot (deep in a corner or a wrong foot shot), Federer gains time and gets set and then there is no telling where he might hit the ball. Conversly, when you watch the opponent you can really see the difference such as how long it takes for them to recover, move back to center etc. Roger is way ahead of the field in this category. People have talked about his speed, but I don't think he has to use his speed all that much because of relentless recovery, movement back to center and the timing of his footwork. I recorded the Roddick and Federer Wimby final. It is neat to see early in the match how Roddicks pace was so fast that even Roger could not get behind the ball well enough to defend. But, once Roddick cooled off a little and he missed some he began to hit more (some) to the center of the court. And, that all it took for Roger to begin to do his thing. Next thing you know it is all over. Watching this in frame by frame really tells the story. And a big part of the story begins with Rogers recovery, movement back toward center and timing of his split step in my opinion.
Yes, tennis is like dancing where the timing needs to be near perfection with the feet and hands and also the rest of the body. With Federer it's like poetry in motion.

The woolly mammoth vanished from the Earth 4,000 years ago, but now scientists say they are on the brink of resurrecting the ancient beast in a revised form, through an ambitious feat of genetic engineering.
Speaking ahead of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Boston this week, the scientist leading the "de-extinction" effort said the Harvard team is just two years away from creating a hybrid embryo, in which mammoth traits would be programmed into an Asian elephant.
"Our aim is to produce a hybrid elephant-mammoth embryo," said Prof George Church. "Actually, it would be more like an elephant with a number of mammoth traits. We're not there yet, but it could happen in a couple of years."
The creature, sometimes referred to as a "mammophant", would be partly elephant, but with features such as small ears, subcutaneous fat, long shaggy hair and cold-adapted blood. The mammoth genes for these traits are spliced into the elephant DNA using the powerful gene-editing tool, Crispr.
Until now, the team have stopped at the cell stage, but are now moving towards creating embryos – although, they said that it would be many years before any serious attempt at producing a living creature.
"We're working on ways to evaluate the impact of all these edits and basically trying to establish embryogenesis in the lab," said Church.
Since starting the project in 2015 the researchers have increased the number of…

"I'll never forgive the Nazis for what they did to my grandfather in Dachau: twelve years he was manning that machine-gun tower, and not promoted once!"
That kindly old European man who lives at the end of the street, who tends his garden and waves at you with a smile when you walk by? Yeah. Seems he has a Dark Secret. Back during World War II he was a card-carrying member of die Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and a fervent supporter of Adolf Hitler and all the man stood for.
But that was then. Now? Now he's an old, and very bitter, Nazi.
If they're living incognito in some other country (usually the United States), it's not uncommon for them or their offsprings to be the target of Nazi Hunters who have found out his true identity. On the other hand, if the grandparents of a Nazi Hunter happened to be Nazis themselves, it can result in an awkward situation.
A very specific Sub-Trope of Grumpy Old Man. Married to the Racist Grandma. Related to Retired Monster.
For obvious reasons, evolved into a Stock Character in German Media, in serious works, but often also played for laughs, where the joke is for example that he seems to be oblivious to the fact that his attitude isn't acceptable at all in mainstream society anymore. See also Racist Grandma.
—Bad joke

Anime and Manga
- In one Black Lagoon arc, the crew gets hired by a Spanish salvage company to loot an old Nazi submarine in international waters before any of the nearby nations can lay a solid claim to it. The owner of the salvage company turns out to be an old SS officer, who wanted to use the crew for a plan as a Secret Test of Character for some of his subordinates. Dutch is slightly less than pleased to discover this.
Comic Books
- In J. Michael Straczynski's The Twelve maxi-series, The Witness is kept in suspended animation from World War II until being revived in the present day. Several weeks after being revived, he hunts down a very old man in New York, whom he knows was a guard at Auschwitz. And he kills him.
- Tiegel's grandpa in Hitman is fairly senile and makes no secret of his past and politics. Despite the fact that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter are black.
- The '80s revival of the Peacemaker rewrote the lead character's backstory so that his father was a Nazi war criminal who escaped prosecution and lived for decades under an assumed name. He (the father) killed himself the moment his secret came to light, and his family changed their name from Schmidt to Smith to distance themselves from him.
- Dr. Christian Szell from the film Marathon Man, a grandfatherly old dentist who pats little kids on the head if they are brave in his office. He was once known as the "White Angel of Death" when he worked as a torturer at Auschwitz, and just because he's old and grandfatherly now doesn't mean he's lost any of his old skills.
- The German film Night of the Living Dorks has one of the main trio get a luger from his Nazi grandpa.
- Music Box is about a female lawyer successfully defending her own father against charges that he was a war criminal and a Nazi during World War II. She simply cannot believe that the kindly, friendly man she grew up loving could be a monster who systematically murdered Jews and Gypsies. At the end of the film, she finds previously unknown, but indisputable, proof that her father actually was a war criminal and a Nazi... and she just helped him escape prosecution. She ends up sending the incriminating photos to the government prosecutor who she just defeated, who has them published in the newspaper. Scriptwriter Joe Eszterhas loosely based this story on his own life, and on the shock he went through when he discovered that his own father had been an enthusiastic Nazi during World War II.
- Apt Pupil, the film adaptation of the Stephen King story (see below), starring Ian McKellen.
- Subverted in The Monster Squad. The main characters believe that the scary German guy living down the street is one of these, but it turns out he's a Holocaust survivor.
- In the Israeli film Walk on Water, the Mossad agent Eyal must find Alfred Himmelman, an aging Nazi war criminal and get him "before God does". In order to track down the old man, Eyal poses as a tour guide and befriends the Nazi's adult grandchildren, Axel and Pia.
- Von Geisler in Frontier(s) is the head of a family of Nazi cannibals.
- Dr. Mortner from the James Bond movie A View to a Kill. Ironically, Max Zorin, the (now-grown-up) Aryan test-tube baby he raised, is no racist (but still very, very evil).
- It's a bit more complicated as Doctor Mortner was experimenting with what he considered inferior bloodlines to make them super-soldiers. In the script, Zorin's Amazon Brigade is composed of his other experiments.
- Sebastian Shaw in X-Men: First Class, although his mutant powers ensure he doesn't look like anybody's grandpa.
- There is a whole genre of Russian/Soviet jokes where the premise is the following: a boy accidentally discovers that his grandpa was a Nazi collaborator, and Hilarity Ensues. For example:
History teacher: "Tell us, where did your grandpa serve during the war?"Boy: "In the Electrical Engineering Corps!"History teacher: "Did he tell you about his service?"Boy: "No, but I found his helmet with two lightning boltsnote that he'd hidden in the attic!"
- And a similar one:
I don't like to talk about the war because my father died in a concentration camp. He got drunk and fell from a watch tower.
- Arthur Denker in Stephen King's Apt Pupil (real name Kurt Dussander). He pretends to be a German emigrant who fought in the army during the war; he was actually the commander of a minor concentration camp.
- Spoofed in The Onion's Our Dumb World. Apparently, Argentina is ''filled'' with old Nazis who will not shut up about that one time they killed a little Jewish girl with the butt of their rifle, much to their grandchildren's annoyance.
- Also spoofed in I Am America (And So Can You!) in the chapter about family. The grandmother is identified as someone not to ask about, since "Grandpa brought her back from the war, and she might be a Nazi."
- Sort of happens in Stephen Fry's Hitler's Time-Travel Exemption Act novel Making History. The gentle old German scientist who wants to go back and prevent the Holocaust wasn't a Nazi himself, but we're led to believe he's a Jewish survivor until it turns out the reason It's Personal is that his father was in the S.S. and he feels guilty.
- Invoked in the Illuminatus!-trilogy, as George Dorn bumps into an old man in Ingolstadt who curses at him with all kinds of politically incorrect slurs, but he can't bring himself to be offended since the man feels like a relic of the past, rather than anyone to be taken seriously. It's actually Adolf Hitler himself, returned to Germany to receive his promised reward from the Illuminati.
- In Gentle Hands, the plot increasingly focuses on whether the protagonist's grandfather is the titular Nazi He is.
- The Jodi Picoult novel The Storyteller revolves around an elderly man who is a fixture in his community, who confesses to the protagonist that he was a Nazi who served at Auschwitz during the war.
Live-Action TV
- Dennis and Dee's grandfather was a Nazi in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
- Being who they are, Dennis and Dee attempt to exploit it for profit.
- An elderly man suspected of being an SS officer ends up being a murder suspect in Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
- The original series went to this well a few times as well, in "Night and Fog" (where the culprit was actually a Jewish man who'd collaborated with the Nazis and killed his Holocaust victim wife when she found out) and "Evil Breeds" (where a Holocaust survivor is testifying in a federal war crimes investigation against a suspected Nazi war criminal, but gets killed by the manager of a "hate rock" act who's trying to exploit the criminal's rep for sales).
- A similar thing happens in CSI: NY. An antique dealer with Nazi sympathies is murdered. It turns out his killer was a concentration camp guard who had escaped prosecution by pretending to be Jewish after the war was over (going as far as to put a fake "serial number" tattoo on his arm).
- The old concentration camp guard posing as a Jew also showed up in another Bruckheimer show, Cold Case. Both were likely inspired by the case of Elfriede Rinkel.
- Similarly, in one episode of Magnum, P.I., there was a Nazi couple hiding in Hawaii disguised as Jews.
- Dr. Krieg in The Pretender episode "Hazards".
- It becomes clear from some of his comments that Dwight's grandfather in The Office (US) fought on the side of Germany during World War II and was probably a war criminal and not just an average soldier.
"I tried to go visit him once, but my travel visa was protested by the Shoah Foundation."note
- Opa Adolf Frey, from the recurring segment Was Der Großvater Noch Wusste (What Grandpa Still Did Know), of the German Sketch Comedy Die Wochenshow is implied to be one.
- In the German Sitcom Pastewka, Bastian's brother acquires a foosball table on eBay, and they have to drive out to the seller's house, in order to get it and take it home. Said seller is an old man who seems to be nostalgic for the Third Reich: His house is filled to the brim with war memorabilia, his most precious one being the handkerchief of the Führer himself.
- in Son of the Beach german character Chip Rommel has an antique diamond ring. "It voz mein grandfather's. He collected jewellery during the war."
- In an episode of FlashForward (2009), there is an old convicted Nazi in a prison in Munich, who claims to have important information about the Blackout, and offers it to the Mosaic Team in exchange for his release. Too late it turns out that they have been tricked by him, and this info isn't that important after all. Or is it?
- The grandpa in the sketch "Weihnachten bei Hoppenstedts" by German comedian Loriot may have traces of this, considering how he insists on playing his military marches on full volume - at Christmas Eve! Though to be fair, because this sketch is from 1978, it is quite possible that he is merely a Monarchist Grandpa, feeling nostalgia for the good old times of the Kaiser's reign, which were just 60 years ago, back then.
- An episode of Barney Miller has a Romani man apparently harassing an elderly prank shop owner. Turns out the prank shop owner was a guard at a concentration camp who tormented him.
- In 30 Rock, Jack once remembered that his kindly German teacher who was obsessed with classifying people got kidnapped by Israeli commandos.
- In El Internado, there are several Nazi old men that managed to escape justice when World War II ended by hiding in Spain. In fact, Iván's adoptive grandfather, as well as Marcos and Paula's grandfather (who put his daughter Eva to the illness he developed, and then cloned her twice, which resulted in Irene/Sandra, whom he adopted when she was five, and Paula, who became Sandra's daughter) were two of those high-ranking Nazis.
- One of these is the Asshole Victim in a certain sketch of 1000 Ways to Die ("Master E-Raced"). He was shot in the head and survived, but the bullet was stuck inside and located near a major artery. Fifty years later, the former Nazi (now living in New York City) accidentally bumps his head while getting milk from his refrigerator. The bullet finally hits its target and the Kraut goes kaput.
- The Outer Limits (1995): One of the single-vilest villains of the anthology was the old Nazi known as Karl Rademacher from season 5's time-travel episode "Tribunal". Once a sadistic commander of a concentration camp, he murdered hundreds of people during the war before disappearing and living out the rest of his days in the United States as "Robert Greene". The protagonist, the son of a Holocaust survivor, tries to bring Rademacher to justice, but eventually resolves to have Rademacher killed by his own younger self.
- In Scary Go Round, the professor who accompanies Shelley, Amy and Desmond during their journey to Atlantis is implied to be one.
Shelley: "Gosh, it's like they took a Nazi war criminal and pressed him like a flower!"
- In a Biter Comics strip, A prospective job candidate learns his new boss may at the very least be a nazi sympathizer.
Western Animation
- Grandpa Nazi is a recurring sketch in Monkey Dust.
- "German Guy," an episode of Family Guy dealt with this subject, featuring a kindly old German man named Franz Gutentag who befriends Chris before pedophile neighbor Herbert recognizes Franz as a Nazi who put him in a concentration camp for not being gay. Herbert and Franz face off in a Slow Motion fight of Grey and Gray Morality (is the audience supposed to root for the pedophile or the Nazi)?
- Krieger from Archer has a pretty significant Nazi dad. He's one of The Boys from Brazil. (Oddly enough, he already knew he had been raised by Nazis.) It's even implied he may be a clone of Hitler (or at least some kind of genetic relative).
- In the first series satirical UK puppet show Spitting Image Mrs Thatcher's elderly neighbour, Herr Jeremy Von Wilcox, who lived at No. 9 Downing Street, was actually Adolf Hitler.
Real Life
- Most Germans of the post-war generations have to deal with this within their own family. In (luckily quite rare) cases where the old people in question don't show any sign of remorse and still openly self-identify as Nazis, they are called Alt-Nazis (old-Nazis, in order to differentiate them from the neo-Nazis) or Unverbesserliche (roughly unreformables).
- Gudrun Burwitz, born in 1929 as Gudrun Himmler and daughter of Heinrich Himmler, and mother of two, has been a leading figure in German neo-Nazi movements her entire life.
- A mild example applies to children who were members of the Hitler Youth or the Band of German Maidens. Because membership was compulsory, that meant that nearly all Germans who came of age in the 50s and 60s had been a part of those organizations, with many high-profile names from Chancellor Helmut Kohl to Pope Benedict XVI. Naturally, there was no attempt to blacklist child members, as it would have left Germany without young people to assume roles in politics and business.
- After the war, many Nazis did hide in Argentina for many years, the most notorious case being Adolf Eichmann, kidnapped by the Mossad in 1960, who became the only person so far executed by Israel (not counting a wrongly accused man).
- US Immigration and Customs Enforcement maintains a special unit dedicated to finding fugitive war criminals who have managed to immigrate to the US as war "refugees." Occasionally they will find individuals who naturalized and built lives in America, concealing their wartime experiences from their own family.
- Normally, German citizens can enter Israel without a visa - but not if they were born before 1928. Such persons require extensive paperwork proving that at no point in their life were they affiliated with the Nazis (a difficult but not impossible requirement).
- In April 2013, now deceased German actor Horst Tappert, who played the title character in the popular long-running detective series Derrick, was discovered to have been a member the Waffen-SS in World War II. In his lifetime, he had always claimed to have served as a medic in the Wehrmacht. Reruns of the series were promptly pulled of the German and Dutch public channels.
- In 2006, Günter Grass, author of The Tin Drum and Nobel Prize recipient, revealed that he had been a member of the Waffen-SS at the age of 17. However, this was due to being conscripted, not voluntary enlistment, and the Panzer division he served in was unusual in the SS for not committing atrocities. Nonetheless, it caused quite some stir, because until then he was regarded by many to be sort of Germany's conscience regarding the country's Nazi past. Of course, his view of the Nazi era may have been shaped in part from this. It must be noted that desertion or draft resistance in Nazi Germany were punishable by death. Much of the criticism rested on his failure to reveal this for so many years.
