The air ambulance system in Norway was established in 1988 and its main purpose was to provide rapid advanced medical care, assist health-care providers in the municipalities in cases of emergency, and provide expedient patient transport to definite care.
During the last decade, local emergency infrastructure has changed, often resulting in centralisation of GP (general practitioner) on-call services.
The aim of the present survey is to describe the involvement of the GP on-call in emergency medical situations attended by the air ambulance in a rural part of Norway.
We did a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the air ambulance base at Dombås, Norway from 1999 to 2008. Missions to trackless locations, search-and-rescue missions and inter-hospital transfers were excluded. The remaining missions were analysed for the presence of the GP on-scene, type of emergency and the severity of the present medical condition. The air ambulance response-intervals were assessed.
Finally, we examined whether the presence of the GP has changed during the study period.
Of 5.356 missions, 2.468 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The GP was on-scene on 1.318 (53, 4%) occasions. Further, the GP attended in 63% of the cardiac arrest incidents, in 48% of the trauma cases and in 55% of cases involving pediatric patients (<16 yrs). GPs presence increased by increasing NACA-score being most on-scene at value 5. Mean response interval for the air ambulance was 27 minutes (95% CI 26–28).
The GP on-call attends approx. a half of the emergency missions carried out by our air ambulance service. Decreasing presence by GPs at scene during the last decade is worrisome and contradictory to goals declared by national health authorities. A valuable source for gaining experience in acute care is bypassed and thereby diminishes learning opportunities within the field of emergency medicine in field. The current study was not designed to investigate the reason for this trend and further studies are needed.

I did tweek but just a little. Won't do any more
I did this little painting very qucikly and was pleased with it. I'm tempted to tweek a few things but experience shows that once I start doing that, I get into the perfection-mode and spoil the whole thing. This will go with Busybodies below and will be a gift to my new twin nieces. I hope they enjoy them.
I am expecting visitors at the end of the week. My daughter and her two little boys are coming from Sydney for a few days. After she leaves good friends from Melbourne are also visiting for a few days. We are going over to Straddie (Stradbroke Island) while they are here to join up with two more couples. We all met in Papua New Guinea and have kept in touch since leaving there. We always have a very (very!) jolly time together.
I don't expect to post any more paintings during May. But in June I intend to seriously tackle Carol Marine's painting a day schedule. I am quite excited about it.

text: TV / VideoStars of Sundance Documentary 'The Wolfpack' Experience Life Beyond the LairHow the Angulo brothers view media and advertisingBy Kristina Monllos|June 21, 2015 ShareBy Kristina Monllos|June 21, 2015 Share With the June 12 theatrical release of The Wolfpack—winner of this year's Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Documentary—the Angulo brothers have been thrust into the media spotlight, landing in Vogue, Vanity Fair and on the cover of The New York Times' Arts & Leisure section, and even collaborating with Vice Media on a short film. Being plunged into such a media frenzy could overwhelm anyone, but for the young men who spent much of their lives locked away from civilization in an apartment on New York's Lower East Side and who are just being exposed to media, advertising and everything else in the outside world, it seems to have been a surprisingly seamless transition. "How we're experiencing life right now is definitely [on the go]," 20-year-old Mukunda Angulo said in a phone interview from Los Angeles where the documentary just premiered. "That means, well, I'll give you an example: It's as if you're riding on an airport escalator and all these things are passing you by and we are grabbing every single thing." Mukunda and his brothers—Bhagavan, Narayana, Govinda, Krsna (who now goes by Glenn) and Jagadisa (who goes by Eddie)—have spent the last several years emerging from the isolation of their childhood home. Now fully immersed in society, the brothers are at last experiencing media, technology (they have iPhones and Samsung smartphones, while three of the brothers are on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) and consumer products (brands they have a fondness for include Coca-Cola, Heinz ketchup and Kellogg's cereal; they also like '80s punk fashion and yearn to check out a drive-in movie theater). The Angulos' unusual upbringing was the focus of filmmaker Crystal Moselle's acclaimed documentary, which chronicled their lives over four years following Moselle's encounter with the family during one of their first public outings. Because of patriarch Oscar Angulo's belief that the outside world would corrupt them, the boys spent the majority of their adolescence confined inside their apartment for months and sometimes years on end. Mukunda (far left) and his brothers are now on smartphones and social media. Larry Busca/Getty Images "A lot of what my dad used to do was not conforming with what he would call a society of robots, not being a part of that," said Mukunda. "We have never thought that way. We've always seen [society] just as people raised in life in their own way, with different points of views, different opinions. We always looked for ways to connect with people. If we don't connect with people in certain ways, if we don't have that much in common, we find common ground, and we build up on that. We're not anti-anything at all. If anything, we're really open-minded." The Angulo brothers were home-schooled by their mother Susanne, while their link to the larger world—and what kept them sane, engaged and creative—was largely limited to their vast collection of VHS tapes, featuring some 5,000 movies as well as TV shows like The Partridge Family, Seinfeld, Saturday Night Live and That '70s Show. Some of the most memorable advertising they were exposed to included ads for Nintendo's Game Boy and those featuring the Geico cavemen. The brothers would eventually go from watching performances to creating their own, transcribing scripts of films they loved so that they could learn the dialogue and act out the parts. In Moselle's four years with the family, she witnessed their reenactment of films like The Dark Knight and Reservoir Dogs. It was those moments—with the brothers decked out in their intricately designed costumes, like a Batman suit cobbled together from scraps of yoga mats and cereal boxes and the iconic black suits and sunglasses worn in the Tarantino classic—that helped Moselle's documentary strike a chord. As the typical American child is bombarded with media and marketing messages from the earliest age, the experience of the Angulo brothers is unique, to say the least. "[As consumers], we are savvy about advertising and marketing, but my intuition would be, without access to the products, you may not develop that knowledge about marketing's persuasion and you might be that much more susceptible to it," said Claudia Townsend, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Miami School of Business. "Because there is such sensory overload in the real world … you learn to filter and evaluate things," added Allen Adamson, North American chairman at brand consultancy Landor. And those who grow up without that? They have to learn to "develop an immune system to the messaging," he said. But that's part of the fun, according to Mukunda. Talking about going to one of the most advertising-innundated places in the world, Times Square, he related: "To actually spot it in person was kind of like a child going to an amusement park."

Former escort Katina Powell will meet with the NCAA next week regarding allegations in her book Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen.
Former escort Katina Powell will meet with the NCAA next week regarding allegations in her book Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen claiming that a former Louisville men's basketball assistant hired her and other women to strip and have sex with players and recruits during parties.
Her lawyer, Larry Wilder, told the Associated Press that Powell will meet with the NCAA as part of the investigation. She is expected to provide documents, including her personal journals and phone records, to prove her claims.
Powell alleged that from 2010-14 former assistant Andre McGee paid her $10,000 to arrange 22 visits to the players' dorm.
Due to the possibility of criminal charges against Powell and the publisher of the book, Wilder said "it is no longer in her best interest to forgo meeting with the NCAA and sharing all of the demonstrative evidence."
On Monday, five women filed an amended civil complaint against Powell, author Dick Cady and publisher IBJ Book Publishing. The women cite the unauthorized use of their photos, two of their first names, and stage names as reasoning for the lawsuit. The women also claim that Powell falsely implied that they participated in prostitution at the parties.
Head coach Rick Pitino has firmly denied that he had any knowledge of the incidents Powell described in her book. McGee, who was employed as an assistant at UMKC when the book was published, has since resigned from his position.
Five former Louisville basketball players told ESPN's Outside the Lines that they had been in attendance at the dorm parties and that they included strippers McGee paid for. Only one former player admitted to having sex with one of the women.
The NCAA, local authorities and the Louisville athletic department continue to investigate Powell's allegations.
The Cardinals are set to open their season on Friday against Samford.

During the past 6 months I have embarked on a quest towards the development of what we might consider "very robust" trading strategies. This journey started because I noticed a general lack of highly inherently robust strategies within Asirikuy, something which prompted me to develop systems with very high standards regarding robustness. During the past two months these efforts have been concentrated on a new EA – called Comitl – which is a portfolio based solution that does not take robustness as a priority but as a characteristics of the utmost importance. Within this post I will talk to you about this new EA I have developed for Asirikuy and why it is different and much more robust than other Asirikuy strategies. I will talk about some of the characteristics of this EA, how it may be improved and what I expect from it in the future.
Any algorithmic trader will carry with him or her the inevitable burden of trading uncertainty. How will we know if your strategies will fail now or in 20, 30 or 50 years? How do we know if the targets we have considered realistic – through Monte Carlo simulations and careful analysis – will indeed materialize in reality? These questions are very important and constitute the basis of perhaps the most important issue within trading: survival. Developing systems with survival in mind is something absolutely important which needs to be given a high priority when building and testing strategies. The truth is that there is an inherent compromise between possibility of failure and expected profit and therefore a good trader needs to carefully gauge both factors. While new traders tend to focus on maximizing simulated profit – almost always ignoring issues pertaining to robustness – conservative traders look in the complete opposite way, sacrificing profits if it means an increase in robustness.
I wanted to develop the next Watukushay EA thinking as the most conservative of all algorithmic traders would think. I wanted to build a portfolio seeking the highest level of robustness with profitability being only an afterthought within the whole development process. With this in mind I decided to develop a portfolio for the daily time frame which would have some very interesting characteristics. The portfolio would use three systems, all systems would use the same settings on all pairs and all pairs would have twenty years of backtesting on the daily charts. No optimization, no hind sight, no parameter changes, no fitting at all. The twenty year period can be viewed as a pure out of sample evaluation as the strategy was never optimized either on one or many of the pairs used. Even when doing the initial design of the strategy – based purely on visual chart observation – it was done only for a few years within 2000-2010. Also – in order to avoid portfolio selection bias – I decided to trade the 4 most liquid pairs in 1990 (which are the ones traditionally known as the 4 majors).
The portfolio EA – which includes the three strategies inside of it – uses two systems I published on the February and March issues of currency trader magazine, using Keltner channels and Bollinger Bands and a separate price based strategy using a time determined exit. As I have mentioned before the parameter selection for these systems was done one time through visual observation and it was never changed nor optimized through any trading period. This portfolio EA therefore has a level of robustness which almost no other system can match: no optimization, 20 years of out of sample testing, four pairs and the exact same settings on all of the chosen currency pairs. No portfolio selection bias, no optimization bias and therefore simply no risk at all of curve fitting.
I was happy with this achievement since it constitutes what many would consider a system that works at a very fundamental level. It works through several pairs, it works for long periods of time and it has no problem with issues related with curve fitting. This portfolio has – therefore – an incredible natural chance at future survival since it seems to exploit an inefficiency which is simply a part of at least highly liquid instruments. Another important point is that the number of total trades within the 20 year period is more than 2000 (thanks to the use of 3 systems) and therefore the results are indeed statistically significant and put the system far away from what could be considered profit from mere random chance.
Comitl – a word in Nahuatl (language of the Aztecs) – means "pot" because this portfolio mixes three different systems which achieve good results using the exact same parameters on several pairs. As the different ingredients mix within a pot to form a single soup, so do the systems of Comitl naturally mix to form a very long term and robust profitable system. Certainly Comitl does not achieve the level of profitability of many other Asirikuy systems – as it sacrifices a great deal of profitability for robustness (AMR to Max DD ratio of about 0.4) – but it has the highest inherent chance of future survival amongst all Asirikuy strategies. It could be well considered a very long term investment vehicle and it might even work across a wide array of highly liquid instruments (as futures, bonds, etc), as each strategy has the characteristics of a multi-market successful system.
Another thing which arises is the possibility to build alternative Comitl setups which have a lower compromise with robustness. Certainly someone may decide to optimize Comitl on certain pairs or trade the system with an optimization for the past 11 years, a valid compromise someone can make between profitability and robustness. The achievement here however is that Comitl grows from the base of possible profitability without any compromising of robustness, it grows from the assumption that survival is the most important aspect of trading (above profitability). Therefore Comitl's base settings are the strategy's "zero compromise" parameters which can be improved towards the profitable side with a loss of its natural robustness. As I have said before it is up to each trader to decide how much they want to risk for an expected profit and Comitl is the first system which might allow a fine tunning of this from a base level where no compromise is inherently present.
I am still working on some aspects of Comitl but the EA should be released this or the next week end to the Asirikuy community. If you would like to learn more about my work in automated trading and how you too can code your own systems with sound trading tactics in mind please consider joining Asirikuy.com, a website filled with educational videos, trading systems, development and a sound, honest and transparent approach towards automated trading in general .

Heartbroken, Veronica feels lost. Salvatore and Antoinette, her dead grandparents, begin to visit her dreams in an attempt to steer her in the right direction. At their suggestion, Veronica takes a news reporting class, which leads to a challenging freelance assignment covering a conspiracy trial. She also begins dating an unlikely suitor: creative Syd Blackman.
Just when her love life and career are looking up, Veronica is tossed back to square one by an event that makes her question all her new choices.
*May Contain Spoilers*
Another girl who listens to her dreams! Better in the Morning by Fern Ronay was a beautiful story about a woman who's stuck in a job she hates with a boyfriend who doesn't really get her. But things are about to change. Really change. With the help of her deceased grandparents, who speak to her in her dreams, Veronica's life is about to undergo a serious make-over for the better. The process may not be easy but it is definitely entertaining.
Veronica is ready for real love that lasts a lifetime and she thinks that John will give that to her. But suddenly, he's moving across the globe and she's left with nothing but a job where she is treated like crap. Given, she doesn't love the job so she doesn't really put in the work it would take to succeed. Regardless, her boss and co-worker are a combination of cruel and cold. Veronica is a woman who believes. She has an abundant amount of faith that guides her through life. She may be a little judgmental but she's loving and hopeful. Readers will relate to her career struggles, her fear, and her hopes. She has bills to pay and it's hard to take a leap changing job fields, but she hopes for the best. With humor and dream sequences, Veronica will make it through this.
My favorite parts of the book were the dream chapters. In these, Veronica gets to hang out with her deceased grandparents who are full of love and laughter. I think these sequences are where readers will really connect with Veronica. They get to read her thoughts by living her dreams with her. The dreams are intimate and important situations that lead Veronica to happiness while helping her leap over the obstacles.
The plot of Better in the Morning begins with Veronica and her boyfriend breaking up because he's moving to London. She thought he was going to propose and is absolutely heartbroken. Not all readers have been in that exact situation but the experience of a relationship ending is easy to relate to. However, this loss turns into a little push for Veronica. She starts a news-reporting class and even goes on a few dates. Things are looking up until they all fall apart again. Veronica has to fight for her happy ending and readers will enjoy watching her climb out of the chaos.

Why St. Paul wrote I Corinthians:
The church was divided. Some were lining up behind Paul, and others behind Peter. Some said, "We're with Apollos," and other said, "We follow Christ."
It was a mess, and everyone was pointing fingers at somebody else. So Chloe and her people (was that a fifth group?) sent a letter from Corinth to St. Paul asking for help.
Why did they send Paul a letter? I think it is the same reason any of us would have sent that letter. No one likes to see a church divided. Church divisions are toxic. They split up communities. They split up families. They split up friends and, most importantly, they undermine the body of Christ and the mission we share.
So, when Paul received Chloe's letter, he wasted no time in sending a response, a response that was straight-forward and to the point.
"Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you should be in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you should be united in the same mind and the same purpose." (I Corinthians 1:10)
Our calling is to be one, one body in Christ, and Paul kept coming back to that theme.
"The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ." (1 Corinthians 10:15 f, 17; 12:12)
The body of Christ and its unity was important to Paul. It was also important to our Lord Jesus, who prayed, "And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one." (John 17.11)
Christ prayed that we might be one. So when our actions lead to divisions within the church, we should be concerned. Those divisions are not of Christ, but of the evil one, and unfortunately, his strategies are tried and true. Satan has been using the strategy of divide and conquer, to undermine the unity of the church and its mission dating right back to day one.
So, how do we resist him? The first thing to realize is that our brothers and sisters in Christ are not the enemy. They may be misguided. They may be misinformed, but they are not an enemy, to be conquered or driven out from among us. That is not how we are called to deal with division in the church.
Instead of dividing the church into us and them, we are called to pray for the church and its unity. We are called to pray for one another and love one another, especially when we disagree. For that is the only way we will have any hope of working together toward unity.
Sometimes, that work will involve ongoing conversations until a consensus is reached. Sometimes, it will involve helping one another to learn from our mistakes as we seek reconciliation, and sometimes it will mean helping one grow in our understanding of the faith, hope, and love to which we are called.
These are the sort of things that build up the body of Christ and strengthen the mission we share. So, when we find ourselves at odds, may God grant that we remember these things and do them for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

On the east side of First North, the line of bungalows at 1511-1517 have a common ancestry. (They are outlined by the circle on the map.) A friend at Mississippi Department of Archives and History sent me this text from the Vicksburg Evening Post, June 13, 1923, about these homes:
Something About Bungalows in First North Street
Within about four weeks, perhaps the first of the modern, moderate priced bungalows being constructed by Louis Switzer, First North Street, between Harrison and South will be completed and placed on the market.
Mr. Switzer is to build five of these houses--six room bungalows. Each home will include a living room, dining room and a kitchen, two bed rooms, bathroom, hall and sleeping porch.
There will be gas, electricity, water, and all the sanitary conveniences.
Mr. Switzer is planning to sell these homes for a price between $1,000 and $5,000, and he will sell on an easy payment basis.
Lumber for the houses is being secured by Mr. Switzer from his own mill at Oak Ridge, high grade poplar and gum being used for the framing.
Purchases Truck
For hauling the lumber from Oak Ridge to Vicksburg, Mr. Switzer has just purchased a truck. Owning his own sawmill and getting his lumber at cost will enable Mr. Switzer to build the new homes at a cheaper figure than would otherwise be the case.
"I am building these homes for the average man," Mr. Switzer said commenting on his plans. "Every man, of course, ought to own his own home, and I will make it possible for this average man to secure a cozy, comfortable home at a price that will be within his reach."
J.W. Sacks is the contractor building the bungalows for Mr. Switzer.
Mr. Switzer announces that his First North street bungalow proposition is to be something new in Vicksburg. It will be a complete "move in" affair. His new homes are to be completely furnished--furniture, fixtures, stove, everything set up ready for occupancy.
After a man buys one of these homes all he will have to do to feel at home is to enter the bungalow and hang up his hat.
Now only four of the bungalows still stand, The southernmost one, at the corner of First North and Harrison was torn down at least a decade ago. The lot is now a garden. The photograph above shows no. 1517, presently the southernmost unit.
Moving north, the second house is 1515, with a cheerful paint job.
The third house is 1513, still with its original porch but with modified posts.
Finally, the northernmost unit is 1511, which has been renovated and has a larger attic than the other bungalows. I talked to a lady who lived in this house and she told me she grew up in the neighborhood. She formerly lived on Grammar Street, which is a block away and will be the subject of a future blog entry.

PHOTO RELEASE: Garret Graves: The Berms are Working
BATON ROUGE (July 13, 2010) - A delegation of Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority representatives and coastal scientists visited the sand berm project in the northern Chandeleur Islands area today.
Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Chairman (CPRA) Garret Graves said, We conducted a construction and effectiveness assessment of the sand berm project. The berms are working!
The delegation found that the sand berm continues to progress in volume and length. Over 60,000 cubic yards of dredge material was placed on the E-4 berm just yesterday. In addition, nine hopper dredge loads totaling approximately 30,000 cubic yards of sand were deposited into the sand re-handling area for the middle portion of the E-4 berm.
On the west side of the river, three hopper dredges are depositing material into the sand re-handling area for Pelican and Scofield Islands.

This is an excerpt of the Wikipedia entry for the Sokal affair:
"The Sokal affair, also known as the Sokal hoax, was a publishing hoax perpetrated by Alan Sokal, a physics professor at New York University. In 1996, Sokal submitted an article to Social Text, an academic journal of postmodern cultural studies. In subsequent publications, Sokal claimed that the submission was an experiment to test the journal's intellectual rigor and, specifically, to investigate whether 'a leading North American journal of cultural studies – whose editorial collective includes such luminaries as Fredric Jameson and Andrew Ross – [would] publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions?'
"The article, 'Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity,' published in the Social Text Spring/Summer 1996 'Science Wars' issue, proposed that quantum gravity is a social and linguistic construct.
"On its date of publication (May 1996), Sokal revealed in Lingua Franca that the article was a hoax, identifying it as 'a pastiche of left-wing cant, fawning references, grandiose quotations, and outright nonsense... structured around the silliest quotations [by postmodernist academics] he could find about mathematics and physics.' " (Footnotes and several links omitted.)
I do not condone the perpetration of hoaxes, and I assume that your writing objectives are ethical. However, let us admire Mr. Sokal's ability to precisely determine the interests and desires of a target audience. His hoax worked because he gave his audience what they wanted: "left-wing cant, fawning references, grandiose quotations, and outright nonsense."
The Takeaway: Whenever you write something for a new audience, study that audience carefully. Don't just spend a few minutes musing; dig in and do the research. Read things they like; listen to speeches and watch videos that have persuaded them; read what they write, and so on. Diligent research will dramatically increase your chances of achieving your objective.
See disclaimer.
*In the Lingua Franca article, Mr. Sokal wisecracked, "Anyone who believes that the laws of physics are mere social conventions is invited to try transgressing those conventions from the windows of my apartment. (I live on the twenty-first floor.)"

Me either.
But I bet if I did, the experience would be something like "ECCOS," an artistic, psychedelic, video of slowed-down Ecco the Dolphin gameplay by artist Andrew Norman Wilson, who describes it as a "six-hour meditation video."
It is every bit as bizarre as it sounds. Here's a sampling:
Ecco the Dolphin (and its sequel Ecco: The Tides of Time) was a game that was already trippy as hell–it's about a time- and space-traveling dolphin, fer chrissakes. With aliens!
Wilson's ECCOS is one of the projects of his Center for Wave Change, a proposed exhibit described as an "experimental philosophical space that focuses on the phenomena of waves."
Yeah, uh, I don't really know what any of that means, so I'm just going to roll a joint and go chill with The Big Blue.

Duration:approx. 5 sec.
|beam enters my room
It was approximately 9PM, and I was in my bed watching television. Directly above my bed are three windows with 12"x"12 glass panels. The television was to the left of my bed. Suddenly, my attention was drawn to the floor approximately four feet from the desk my television was on. What I saw was a beam moving very quickly in small circles in one concentrated spot on my floor. The circle motions it made were not perfect, the best I can describe them as were "wobbly circles". The beam was solid, pure solid light and approximately an inch wide...it was fairly thin. The color was a pure white with somewhat of a blueish tinge around the outside of the beam. The beam itself was bright, but did not seem to emit any light beyond its edges. My room was NOT filled with light, only this beam. I was able to watch for about 5 seconds before I fled my room in a state of total panic. I was not able to tell exactly which of the three windows the beam was aimed through, but assuming that had it beamed straight into my room onto the wall parallel it would be 90 degrees, I would estimate that it hit my floor at a diagonal angle of about 60 degrees. When I got downstairs, I looked outside to see any evidence of a craft (I have never to my knowledge witnessed a UFO) and there was none. There were no aircraft of any kind besides high-flying commercial planes. I did not tell anyone in my house about what I had seen. I wasn't sure if my mind was playing tricks on me or what had actually happened, but I saw something. When I checked the area later, there was no evidence whatesoever of the beam having ever touched my floor.
Two days later, on November 3, 2004, I witnessed one more anomalous event which I believe may be connected, and this time my younger brother was also witness. A PITCH black figure, which appeared to be two dimentional, in a very humanoid form quickly passed across a window and wall which were directly in front of where we were sitting, about 12 feet away. The figure had NO discernable features in its face, no clothing, no hair. Just a round head and human like torso were all we were able to make out. It was impossible to make a height estimate. It was for certain INSIDE our house, not a reflection from outside. The sighting of this "being" lasted 3-4 seconds. There was no logical explaination for what we saw, it was most certainly paranormal. I have seen a figure like that once before and I am certain it was of the same nature.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and we found her to be a seemingly quite credible witness. PD))

Come explore this healing practice with us….
West Broward Mindfulness
Register for the Next Retreat
Our next 3 day Mindfulness Retreat will be held at the Casa San Carlos Retreat Center in Delray Beach, Fl. This center has a spacious meditation room, lovely gardens and a peaceful lake to do walking meditation. There will also be Gentle Mindful movement and sound healing. Beginners and experienced meditators are welcome.
Join Our Growing Sangha
Sundays from 11:00am - 12:30pm. Currently we meet every two weeks at the at the MedSpa Suites in Coral Springs. Our Sunday meetings are composed of a Dharma Talk, a guided meditation and interactive discussion. All the problems we experience during daily life originate in ignorance, and the method for eliminating ignorance is to practice Dharma.
The experience of a silence retreat is a true gift to self. The opportunity to be alone with your thoughts and be aware of what occupies your mind is pretty interesting. Once unplugged from outside stimuli and entering Noble Silence, you are encouraged to be with what is arising in the moment and to understand the multitude of thoughts and feelings that inhabit the mind. It may seem like it's a difficult thing to do but it's totally doable. The meditations and talks gave us structured time to quiet down those thoughts.
Alexandra A.
The retreat was wonderful! ...location was absolutely beautiful, food was really delicious and the teacher was just extraordinary! We had a great chance to live these 3 days mindfully in the present moment, spent a lot of time outdoors, practiced yoga and meditated. It was a great experienced that brought calmness and clearness to my life. Thank you so much, Cindy and Jose...
Mariya, N.
I learned in this retreat that mindfulness is a meditation practice that helps you pay attention in a particular way "on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmental…" I experienced bringing my complete attention to the present moment during the guided practices as well as during periods of Noble Silence. Cindy guided us through some of the meditations. Her knowledge and experience together with her spiritual personality and voice helped me get to know my mind, body and heart at a higher level. Jose's participation was lively; he provided his own perspectives and experience on mindful meditation. The location was excellent: accommodations, surrounding areas, and vegetarian food added to the pleasant experience. The singing bowls and the mindful yoga was a nice touch! Overall, I give this retreat 5 stars!...
David P.
I went into retreat with as few expectations as possible as this was my first retreat. I was most stunned by the opportunity to observe just how noisy my mind actually is. It's easy to get caught up in the strong, consistent flow of thoughts and this time in silence really helped me identify this habit. The most powerful outcome of silence was coming to find that the thoughts and stories are not what is important while in practice, it's the pausing to acknowledge and be with what is actually arising in the moment and learning how stay present by bringing the attention to the breath, body sensations or sounds. In this way I stay present instead of caught up in stories and limited beliefs...

Gallery: Taiwan: A Food Tour of 5 Night Markets
Shilin: Fried Stinky Tofu
The fermented stinky tofu at Shilin Market is one of the most iconic Taiwanese small eats. It comes with pickled vegetables on the side.
Shilin: Snails
Yep, these are land snails. Pluck them out with the skewers or if you're more skilled, suck them right out of the shell.
Shilin: Oyster Pancakes
Another iconic Taiwanese snack, oyster pancakes are made with sweet potato powder, egg, vegetables, and large oysters. It's topped with a sweet and sour sauce.
In short, it's sort of like a giant glutinous seafood omelette with a lot of sauce.
Shilin: Deep-Fried Soft Shell Crabs
These are common all throughout Taiwan. The crab is entirely edible, including the shell.
Shilin: Ox Tongue Pie
Don't worry. Ox tongue pancakes (niu she bing) are not actually made out of ox. It's just named that because it's shaped like a ox's tongue.
The pancake is sweet with peanut or sesame flavoring.
Shilin: Coffin Bread
Coffin bread is simple. It's a thick deep-fried toast, hollowed out, and filled with a savory chowder. We got the pork.
It originates from southern Taiwan and is reminiscent of chowder bread bowls (minus the sourdough).
Keelung: Seafood
Because of its proximity to the harbor, Keelung Night Market has a lot of seafood offerings that vendors will cook for you on the spot.
Giant crabs, oysters, and shrimp are common.
Keelung: Paopao Bing
The translation for paopao bing is bubble ice.
It's similar to snow shaved ice but beaten up into a fine, smooth, snow-like texture.
Keelung: Seafood Egg Buns
These are seafood egg buns. One with leek and shrimp (left), and another with oysters (right).
Keelung: Red Bean Cake
These red-bean cake pops come in various cartoon shapes.
They're similar to Japanese taiyaki, but with a different mold.
Raohe: Black Pepper Buns
The line outside of this particular vendor is insane. For those interested, it's located at the very back of the market.
Black pepper buns are a combination of scallions, sesame oil, and...
Raohe: Black Pepper Buns Inside
...of course pork and black pepper.
Be careful -- they're searing hot.
Raohe: Custard In Egg Shell
In New York, I've only seen these as amuse-bouches.
In Taiwan, they're cheap night market snacks and come in dozens.
Raohe: Pork Jerky
Whereas we usually buy them from the supermarkets here in the states, the pork jerky from Raohe is made on site.
Raohe: Fukushima Circle Pies
In Chinese they're called "fudao yuanyuan shao," or Fukushima circle pies.
Japanese small eats tend to be extremely popular in Taiwan, and this still was not an exception.
What it is: a fried pie with baked egg and ham inside coated with a lot of mayo and bonito flakes. Optional wasabi on the side.
The outer batter is similar to the stuff they use for takoyaki.
Raohe: Pudding Shaved Ice
Regular shaved ice drenched with red bean and condensed milk. It's topped with a massive pudding.
All the shaved ice is made in front of you.
Raohe: Squid Stew
The shop is called "Squid King" and they're always dealing with long lines.
The squid is put in a bag with sauces (spice level can be customized), shaken, and served.
Raohe: Leek Pan-Fried Dumpling
It's a pan-fried dumpling with vermicelli and leek inside.
Night market foods are not particularly healthy. Like this leek dumpling, they're usually fried and drenched with oil. But the good news is that they're ridiculously cheap and portable.
Raohe: Small Sausage In Large Sausage
No lies, that's the actual name of this dish.
The "big sausage" is actually a sticky rice sausage and the little one is your average Taiwanese meat sausage.
The snack is finished with pickled vegetables and a thick soy sauce.
Huaxi: Snake
Also known as Snake Alley, there are tons of shops in the Huaxi Night Market that serve snakes cooked plain or in broth, medicine, or wine.
Huaxi: Turtle
They also have turtles too.
Huaxi: Shaved Ice
Bizarre stuff aside, Huaxi has some of the best shaved ice Taipei has to offer.
For those interested, this shop is located at 168 Guangzhou Jie in Taipei.
The ice is shaved to such a thin consistency it literally melts in your mouth. The toppings, unlike most places, are generous and fresh.
Huaxi: Aiyu Jelly Drink
Aiyu, a gel made from the seeds of a type of fig, is a popular Taiwanese drink -- especially in the summer...
Huaxi: Aiyu Jelly Drink In A Bag
This store was all about cost-saving measures. No cups here. They ladle the stuff straight into a plastic bag.
For the record, the aiyu was delicious.
Huaxi: Braised Pork Knuckle
There were also vendors selling braised pork knuckles and fatty pork slices.
Huaxi: Tomato Plums
This was a creative approach to the cherry tomato. The vendors cut small slices in the tomatoes and stuff them with dried, sour plums.
Tonghua: Taiwanese Teppanyaki
If you're craving steak, Tonghua is the place to go. Sure the cuts aren't amazing and the beef is a little stringy -- but what makes this place awesome is that it's a fast food joint.
Each cut of steak goes for around $3-$4.
Tonghua: Potato and Yam Fries
The market also has great purple yam and potato fries.
Tonghua: Guabao
The guabao in Taiwan is massive. And they really don't skimp out on their ingredients.
The pork is sufficiently fatty and it's complemented with peanut powder, cilantro, and pickled vegetables.
Tonghua: Run Bing
It's sort of like a non-deep-fried version of a spring roll. This run bing was filled with peanut powder, shredded lettuce, and a sausage.

What people have to say about Holyoke HealthCare Center
"I've been an administrator for facilities such as yours and your facility is top notch! Customer Service, Staff, Administrator all the way to kitchen, laundry, housekeeping and maintenance. Your staff should all be commended for the top notch service they provide to your residents."
Frank S., former patient
"I am so grateful that my mother is here! I've worked many years in nursing homes and I have never had an experience that comes close to a caring home as I've had here at Holyoke Healthcare. Be PROUD, I've never seen a team of such caring people and it includes all departments."
