Most Loved Pant Styles from Tafford and Beyond
You can never have too many pairs of clean scrub pants! Between spills and general wear, you might be lucky to wear a pair of scrub pants more than one day without the need to wash them. It's also important to change them daily as a matter of cleanliness for whichever patients you treat, be it as a nurse, dentist, or vet. So instead of having to wash laundry several times each week, stock up on the most loved pant styles from Tafford and other great brands!
Most Loved Tafford Pant Styles
Elastic or drawstring? You don't have to decide! The Tafford Essentials Drawstring and Elastic Waist Scrub Pant has both closure types for a more secure fit. The cotton polyester blend and reinforced seams prevent tearing or wearing down, through many work days and many wash cycles. The material is also interwoven with poplin for soil-release and fabric integrity.
What about features? The boot cut of the pant ensures comfortable wear over many types of shoes. There are four pockets to hold all of the gear you might need handy, including two cropped front pockets, one back, and one cargo.
If you like the cargo look, you might also love the Tafford Essentials Chop Cargo Scrub Pant. It has the same cotton rich fabric blend, a drawstring front and elastic back, only three pockets (two cropped front and one cargo), and a slightly flared leg.
Most Loved Koi Pants
For a cargo pant with modern updates, turn to the Koi Lindsey Scrub Pant. This pant focuses on blending style with optimal functionality. It has double-stitching on each of six pockets (two front, two back, and one double layer cargo on the side), an accessory loop, and a d-ring. The fit is low-rise with an adjustable pant hem.
Most Loved Wonderwink Pants
Ease of movement is critical for day-long wear in a medical office, and that's why the WonderWink WonderFlex Faith Multi-Pocket Cargo Pant is one of the most loved among cargo pants. Along with six spacious pockets (4 front and 2 back), the back pocket has a bungee loop at the top corner to hook your accessories. And while there is double-stitching at the seams and knee for durability, there are also bottom vents and the fabric can stretch for added comfort.

Hi guys, so I am very ashamed to say that I am very good at procrastinating. I procrastinated for about an hour before doing this blog post. Also I am so sorry that I haven't posted for so long but I have a sort of good reason . Basically, I have started a new school and things have been kind of rushed and I have also been give a lot of homewok but I hope that you guys enjoy and without further ado, let's get started!
- Make sure that you are happy with where you are working – If you are not happy with the look of your desk then it won't drive you to work hard. I have tested it out myself and when I wrote a blog post on a dull and messy desk the post was awful but when I wrote in it a place which was tidy and organized and also had good lighting, I was happy with my work
- If you are writing notes use color – it is actually proven that if you write you notes in a different color you are more likely to remember them and that also goes for writing them out by hand. Using highlighters and gel pens actually makes you want to write and review them more because they look pretty.
- Little things mean a lot – this one is to start with doing all the little tasks that you need to do because when you accomplish them even though you haven't put much work into it, you get a little confidence boost which makes you want to carry on with the rest of them.
- Set fake deadlines – if you set yourself fake deadlines then you feel like you have to get them done and just get it done and it will really help you.
- Take breaks – take realistic and small breaks to refresh your mind because it is no good to work hours on end without a break because it will make you brain really tired but make sure that they are not an excuse to procrastinate.
I hope that you guys enjoy and I might be doing a part 2 so keep a look out. Bye!

An inspirational collection of personal stories from the most eloquent, passionate and intellectually progressive voices in today's Animal Rights movement, Turning Points in Compassion challenges the widespread (and often unquestioned) perceptions of our relationship with animals.
Generally speaking, our society views animals as non-feeling commodities who serve as a food or product source – and animal advocates are seen as a sentimental minority. Seldom do we give thought to the conditions that bring animals to our plate and label the ardent passion of advocates as "extremist."
Turning Points in Compassion challenges those views with contributions from academics, scientists, doctors, lawyers, farmers, nutritionists, ministers and sanctuary workers.
It debunks the idea that animals are necessary for our sustenance and provides evidence (via respected doctors and nutritionists) that a non-animal diet is more beneficial to our health.
There is also significant evidence that supports the fact that an 'animal based diet' leads to cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and some forms of cancer.
Each story is a powerful testimony to the capacity of individuals to transform the worldview inherited from previous generations. As a result, new paradigms replace the old.
Told with a powerful blend of compassion and honesty, these heartwarming stories which describe a new world of compassionate living and understanding, will transform the reader's perspective on life in a profoundly beautiful way.
Already awarded Vegan of the Year in the category of Outstanding Creative, Turning Points in Compassion reveals a movement that will benefit ourselves, the animals and the planet.
Without question, no reader will be left unchallenged by this book.
"A remarkable, inspirational exploration of plant-based eating."-G.A. PhD, Founder and Director, The Kerulos Center.
All profits from sales are donated to animal sanctuaries and rescue groups.
Gypsy Wulff has been teaching since the seventies. She began as a primary school teacher and then went on to teacher training and adult education. Today, she teaches music and advocates for animals through humane education and publishing materials for both children and adults. Her vision is of a world where animals can live a life free of suffering.

Within the world of the Pokémon franchise, Lugia are strongly associated with the sea and the element of water in general, in contrast to Ho-Oh, the version mascot of Pokémon Gold and Pokémon HeartGold, which is associated with the element of fire. As a Psychic-type and Flying-type Pokémon, Lugia possesses multiple psychic abilities, such as telepathy, and can fly, but also possesses abilities related to water. Lugia has received mixed reception from critics.
Design and characteristicsEdit
Considered a "legendary bird" within the setting of the games, Lugia is characterized as the "Diving Pokémon" in the Pokédex and the latter states that Lugia is known as "The Guardian of the Sea". It has been more often compared to a dragon, bird, wyvern or sea monster, 1UP.com calling it a "sleek, draconic creature". The Hartford Courant described Lugia as resembling a "flying white lizard", adding that its wings more closely resembled "huge cartoon paws". They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. They have a somewhat beak-like, ridged mouth, although they have teeth on their lower jaw. Their head has a point to the back, and their eyes have pointed blue spikes on them. Lugia have long slender necks and their bodies are smooth and covered with streamlined feathers, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. They have large wings that resemble hands, similar to a personified bird wing. Lugia possess the ability to calm storms and are said to appear when storms start. They are also said to be able to spawn a storm lasting as long as 40 days by flapping their wings. A light flutter of a Lugia's wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to blow apart regular houses. Lugia are highly intelligent, and isolates itself at the bottom of the sea, where it tends to slumber in solitude at the bottom of a deep oceanic trench, in order to avoid accidentally causing damage with the devastating power it packs.

Hugo Schmeisser (24 September 1884 – 12 September 1953) was a German developer of infantry weapons in the 20th century.
Schmeisser was born in Jena, Saxe-Weimar. His father, Louis Schmeisser (1848–1917), was one of the best-known weapons designers in Europe. The life and work of Hugo Schmeisser mostly took place in the weapons manufacturing city of Suhl, Prussian Saxony.
Before and during World War I Edit
The submachine guns of Theodor Bergmann are closely connected with its name recognition and weapons production in the time leading up to the First World War. Schmeisser also received his fundamental training in weapons technology at Bergmann, where 7.63mm and 9mm machine gun rounds were being researched. He remained in Suhl during World War I because of the crucial importance of his expertise in machine gun technology.
After two years in World War I, trench warfare had solidified on the Western Front. Using only carbines, raids at up to 100 m from the trenches seemed nearly impossible. Artillery fire and bayonet attacks led to heavy losses on both sides of the front. Between 1917 and 1918, Schmeisser developed an automatic weapon with a practical range of 200 m. These MP 18s soon became the basic armament of combat teams, which broke through the front in March 1918 during Operation "Michael". These troops, exclusively equipped with MPs, hand grenades, and pistols, broke through the front and went on a full offensive against their enemies. These offensive infantry tactics became the forerunners to tank warfare during World War II. 35,000 MP18s were produced by Bergmann alone.
Before and during World War II Edit
Manufacturing regulations in the Treaty of Versailles (June 28, 1919) forbade Germany from developing automatic weapons. This signalled the end of a 30 year cooperation between the Schmeissers and Bergmann as production was licensed to foreign weapons manufacturers. Schmeisser decided to continue work in weapons development. Together with his brother Hans Schmeisser, he created the "Industriewerk Auhammer Koch und Co" (Industrial Auhammer Koch and Company) in Suhl. Being at the end of World War I, he saw little business, and encumbered by the Treaty of Versailles, the future of the company was unclear. Schmeisser defied the treaty, working to continue development of banned weapons. It was at this time that the company began cooperating with Haenel Co. in Suhl, beginning a 20 year partnership. For the safety of his patents, Schmeisser created a second company under the name of "Brothers Schmeisser" in the summer of 1922. This shrewd tactic was to prevent the loss of his patents if Auhammer went bankrupt. In order to prevent bankruptcy on both sides, Auhammer and Haenel merged, with Haenel taking full responsibility and liability for Auhammer business affairs. Schmeisser's attorneys who settled the deal became active shareholders in the company. Before long, it was obvious that development of automatic weapons was unaffected by the Treaty of Versailles. In 1928 Schmeisser released the MP-28, which was used extensively by the German police. Bayard signed an agreement with Schmeisser to manufacture and sell weapons to South Africa, China, Spain, and Japan. It is notable that these same weapons were used during the Spanish Civil War only 10 years later. Despite Schmeisser's success, the company often came within inches of bankruptcy.
As the Nazis rose to power during 1933, ten weapons development enterprises in Suhl and Zella Mehlis merged under the name of "United Suhl-Zella Mehlis Armament Makers". This central administration was used to coordinate production with the army's needs. This allowed Schmeisser to make a very important business acquaintance, which later developed to a friendship, with the aviator Ernst Udet, a deputy of Hermann Goering under Germany's Luftwaffe. Schmeisser had a direct role in military production decisions, often influencing the decisions of Adolf Hitler and Goering. After 1935 Haenel experienced an enormous upswing in weapon production. Against the desires of many engineers and technical designers, the Schmeisser brothers continued to enforce patent royalties and manage company funds.
Berthold Geipel of ErMa designed the MP 36 using Vollmer's EMP. The chief designer, Heinrich Vollmer, revised the basic construction of ErMa MP-36 and developed from it the well-known German submachine guns of the Second World War, the MP-38 and the MP-40. 1.2 million pieces were manufactured for these weapons, and were among the first weapons to be manufactured with die cast parts, metal stamping, and a complete machine-assembly. This method revolutionized weapon production, allowing manufacture at an unprecedented speed. They became internationally known as "Schmeisser MP"s, mainly due to the use of the straight magazine he had patented.
Schmeisser's most important work had been underway since 1938. This new automatic weapon, with a short cartridge 7.92 mm., allowed for smart usage of resources and high production. At first named the Mkb 42, it later received the designation of MP-43, and it became one of the first assault rifles. By 1943, 10000 pieces had already been manufactured for the front. For a short time, Hitler stopped production, as he was mysteriously opposed to the new weapon. In 1944, after troop testing verified the new weapon's legitimacy, Hitler authorized mass production of the MP-43 as well as further research into a new MP-44. In April 1944 the new weapon received the designation of "Sturmgewehr 44" ("Assault rifle 44", literally "Storm Rifle 44"). The StG-44 was arguably Schmeisser's most important weapon development.
After World War II Edit
On April 3, 1945, American troops began to occupy the city of Suhl. Weapons manufacturing was completely prohibited during this time. Hugo Schmeisser and his brother Hans were interrogated for weeks by weapon expert teams of the American and British Secret services. At the end of June 1945, American troops evacuated Suhl and all of Thuringia. One month later, the Red Army assumed control over the area, starting a civilian works project to manufacture weapons for the Soviet Union. By August 1945 the Red Army had created 50 Stg 44s from existing assembly parts, and had begun inspecting their design. 10,785 sheets of technical designs were confiscated by the Soviets as part of their research. In October 1945 Schmeisser was forced to work for the Red Army and instructed to continue development of new weapons.
Schmeisser's brilliance continued to impress the Red Army, and he, along with other weapons designers and their families, was relocated to the USSR. On October 24, 1946, the German specialists rode a train to Izhevsk in the southern Ural Mountains, where a center of Russian firearms development was located. Schmeisser's work while in the Red Army in Izhevsk (1946–1952) is shrouded in darkness. Little is known of his life during this period, until 1952 when he and other German specialists returned home to Germany. Russians officially claim that he neither nor his rifle influenced the design of the AK-47; he is said to have only assisted in developing stamping technologies for the new rifle, allowing IzhMash to churn out 24000 of them per day. With short notice, his stay in the Soviet Union was extended beyond that of the other weapon specialists by a half year. He finally returned home on June 9, 1952. Schmeisser died on December 9, 1953, and was buried in Suhl.
While the name of Hugo Schmeisser is known internationally, it is unknown to most Germans. The 50th anniversary of his death was honored by a ceremony held in Suhl, as he is recognized as one of the most important technical designers of infantry weapons of the 20th century.

Preview Abstract Abstract
Lee Ricketson
We discuss the use of multi-level Monte Carlo (MLMC) schemes - originally introduced by Giles for financial applications - for the efficient simulation of Coulomb collisions in the Fokker-Planck limit. The scheme is based on a Langevin treatment of collisions, and reduces the computational cost of achieving a RMS error scaling as $\varepsilon$ from $O\left(\varepsilon^{-3}\right)$ - for standard Langevin methods and binary collision algorithms - to the theoretically optimal scaling $O\left(\varepsilon^{-2}\right)$ for the Milstein discretization, and to $O\left(\varepsilon^{-2} (\log \varepsilon)^2\right)$ with the simpler Euler-Maruyama discretization. In practice, this speeds up simulation by factors up to 100. We summarize standard MLMC schemes, describe some tricks for achieving the optimal scaling, present results from a test problem, and discuss the method's range of applicability.

Here is a unique old tin mold that I am a bit perplexed as to its original purpose. I was told it was a cookie mold but another time it was identified as an ice cream mold. I guess one could use it for several purposes. When held one way the opening resembles an old time steam train engine. Held a different way, I "see" a snowman with a scarf sticking out around his neck! At any rate, it is made of tin, is about 6" long and both ends can be removed. When the finished product is pushed out one end, I think it could be sliced down to individual little trains or snowmen or what have you...perhaps even mini breads? Then again, maybe it makes a large ice cube!! No matter what, it is definitely a unique piece for the tin mold collector. Butter mold?? Have you ever seen another??

The Caffè di Artisan Story, Origins, Artisanal Food-Tech Liquid Single Shot Coffee Pods…
What is Caffè di Artisan?
Caffè di Artisan is a luxury coffee company formed by a group of global coffee lovers, fed up with commoditised, machine-produced burnt, bitter coffee. Caffè di Artisan represents the final frontier in the world of coffee drinking: fine coffee that is artisanally, freshly produced, but, through cutting edge Food Tech is packaged and delivered directly to you, in convenient liquid single shot pods. Just open the pod, pour out the divine, freshly extracted Single Origin coffee shot into a glass or a mug, add hot water or hot/cold foamed milk (using our free frother that comes to you with your first order), and you have an Americano, espresso, lattè, cappuccino or frappè that nobody on this planet can match. That's our promise.
What are Caffè di Artisan single serve liquid coffee pods?
Caffè di Artisan pods contain liquid coffee, artisanally, freshly squeezed out of freshly roasted and ground coffee beans, using our unique micro-filtery process that marries artisanal processes with cutting edge Food Tech, utilising Laws of Thermodynamics. Our fine, coffee is then packaged and delivered directly to you, in convenient liquid, single shot pods.
No need to use machines to make your coffee anymore – we have taken the machines out of the equation!
So Just why is Caffè di Artisan the Best Coffee in the World?
Why is Caffè di Artisan's coffee superior to machine-produced coffee?
Espresso coffee is prepared by passing super-hot, super high pressure water through coffee grounds. This, however, essentially, kills the soul of the coffee grounds. Imagine what happens when you pass scalding hot water, at high pressure, through the delicate coffee grounds: the powder gets burnt, and the high pressure ends up over-extracting the coffee from the grounds, resulting in coffee that is bitter. Great coffee is strong, zesty, flavourful, but it doesn't have to be bitter – but that's what espresso makers have convinced us of, because they can only produce over-extracted, bitter coffee, whose subtle notes have been strangled by the violence of the high heat, high pressure extraction process.
Can you produce great wine by violently squeezing the grapes, to get instant wine?
Obviously not. You simply can't hasten greatness. Great drinks take time to reach perfection.
At Caffè di Artisan, we roast and grind the coffee beans fresh, for every single pod! No coffee maker in the world can do that. The grounds then are lovingly, gently, slowly extracted via our unique micro-filtery process where we artisanally squeeze out the last usable drop of coffee elixir to produce divine single-shot liquid coffee.
We don't let machines do this because there are still some things human beings do better. You just have to pour the liquid coffee content from Caffè di Artisan's single shot pod into a cup and froth it, then froth hot milk, and pour it into the cup to mix with the coffee. You will find that Caffè di Artisan's coffee is strong, zesty, has great attitude, but is never bitter.
How is Caffè di Artisan's coffee different from instant coffee?
Instant coffee is just a mix of wood husk and the cheapest, low quality Robusta coffee seed powder made by an extremely harsh extraction process that destroys almost all the flavours and fragrances inherent in the coffee. The solution is then artificially infused with coffee aroma and either freeze-dried or spray-dried, creating crystals or a powdery substance that you know as instant coffee.
At Caffè di Artisan, the entire process, right from the selection of the water that goes into our coffee, the beans, the roasting, the grinding, and finally, the distillation of divine single-shot liquid coffee, through our micro-filtery, is artisanal. We select only the finest Arabica coffee seeds for curated acidity and flavour, which are then roasted to our specifications by our master coffee roasters, ensuring that most of the flavour and flagrance of the coffee beans is gently removed to give you the taste of real coffee.
What do you mean by custom built, made to order coffee?
Each liquid single shot pod that comes to you from Caffè di Artisan is custom built. We start roasting, grinding, micro-filtering your coffee pod only when we receive your order. Since the most prized aromas in coffee are lost soon after the grinding process, if not used within 15 minutes, our customized process ensures that the coffee that reaches you has optimum freshness and maintains the fresh flavour of the ground. Each pod, therefore, has an absolutely fresh coffee shot.
Hey Guys, Look No Machines! Why Coffee Machines are going to become dinosaurs, The trouble with espresso machines, The Germs in The Coffee Machines, et al…
Do I need to buy an expensive machine, like the Nespresso, Keurig machines, to make Caffè di Artisan coffee?
Not at all! That's the central, essential beauty of Caffè di Artisan's liquid single shot pods: they come freshly extracted and packaged to you. So, all you need to do is to pour the liquid shot into a cup, froth it, and add hot, foamed milk (if desired) to it (using the same free Frother that comes to you with your first order), and voila!, you have arguably the best lattes, cappuccinos, machiatos in the world, in a minute or two!
The Trouble with Coffee Machines
Studies by a Spanish University conducted on Nespresso machines showed alarming levels of germs in the machines. (University of Valencia Study) In addition, all coffee machines require extensive cleaning, descaling, trouble-shooting, and replacement.
Why do we need to go through all these hassles to get what is one of real pleasures of life – A Great Cup of Coffee?

Are Caffè di Artisan's coffees Single Origins?

But most coffees are a blend of beans from different growing regions around the world and the best beans are usually mixed with other varieties to lower the overall expense. Caffè di Artisan provides distinctive single-origin coffees, each with a flavour unique to its origin and a taste all of its own, exemplifying the best qualities of its plantation, terrain, region and flavours unique to the exact place where the coffee beans are grown.

How to avoid rehashing elements from the Nolan Trilogy
As you may or may not know, WB has confirmed that Nolan's trilogy will remain as a stand-alone piece as opposed to part of a shared universe and that the success of MOS is what will determine whether or not a shared universe will happen as well as the tone & style of it.
"It's setting the tone for what the movies are going to be like going forward, In that, Man of Steel is definitely a first step. Nolan's Dark Knight series was deliberately and smartly positioned as a stand-alone. The world the films lived in was very isolated, without any knowledge of other superheroes. What Zack and Chris have done with this film is allow you to really introduce other characters into the same world."
From what we've seen of MOS, it seems to be made in the same vein as the Nolan films and more specifically, in the same vein as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight - an origin story, the idea of this being Batman/Superman at the start of their career, the grounded & real world feel of the films, the realistic angle, the social commentary that is apparently present in both films according to the people that saw the early screenings and described MOS as a "Nolan story", the scenes showing Clark travelling in the trailer that parallel Bruce's travels in BB (at least visually), the whole theme of both protagonists having to find themselves and wanting to inspire hope, a more real looking Gotham/Metropolis (based on what we've seen of Metropolis in MOS), etc.
Overall, MOS seems like it will be very similar to what Nolan did with Batman and according to what WB confirmed, the rest of the films in the shared universe will be similar to MOS in tone and style. We can also assume this means the other solo films will also feature young JL members around the start of their career. This all sounds awesome but when you think about it, this causes problems for the Batman reboot because we are now at risk of the writers rehashing major elements from the Nolan films. A Batman reboot would have to differentiate itself from the Nolan films while still being about a young Batman in a still-grounded-but-not-as-grounded world and while presumably still being influenced by a lot of the same Batman stories (Year One, Long Halloween, etc.)
The point of this thread is to discuss ideas on how to avoid this problem. So discuss

Ruidoso, NM
Billy the Kid Trail
Road trip today through Lincoln County, NM—scene of the Lincoln County Wars and the Billy the Kid Trail. Yes, the county was named after Abraham Lincoln and encompasses a large area running through the Lincoln National Forest. One word to describe this county is diverse.
After leaving the high desert, we began climbing and drove through the Mescalero Apache Reservation. Feeling the independence of a very proud nation, we viewed small modest homes with one or two horses pastured on adjacent plots. Just imagine the Apache coming home, saddling his mount, and galloping along these mountain trails and passes. These Native Americans have not lost their land and their allegiance to it. However, as a reminder of their entry into modern society, we also saw casinos on the edges of their reservation.
The Hondo Valley, within the triangular 65 miles of the Billy the Kid National Scenic Byway, is rich farmland due to its proximity to mountain water run-off—a perfect place for livestock and farming. This abundance of resources drew settlers who staked claim to the Indian lands causing heated conflicts between the Indians and settlers.
At the same time that settlers were establishing claims surrounding Apache lands, a monopoly (Murphy & Dolan) of entrepreneurs was established in Lincoln County having a tremendous amount of power and influencing the law, politics, and economics of the county. Enter a foreigner who wanted a piece of the pie (Dunstall)! He opened his own store and partnered with a lawyer (Sweeney); the store gave unwanted competition to the establishment. Where the gun was the law of the land, animosity led to skirmishes between the rivals, and then murders and more murders; ultimately a war between the two factions caused bloodshed right and left. Murphy & Dolan's Sheriff Brady hired thugs who ruled with a heavy hand. On the side of the Dunstall were a group of loyal supporters called the Regulators of which Billy the Kid was one. Early victims of the war were Sheriff Brady on one side and Dunstall on the other; scores more followed. To end the conflict Colonel Dudley, who supported Murphy/Dolan, led his troops from Fort Stanton to Lincoln. Troops did end the war, but Billy with a few other Regulators escaped the carnage. However, Pat Garrett, who was appointed sheriff in the aftermath, vowed to apprehend Billy along with the other renegade Regulators. He did so, and Billy was sent to Santa Fe for trial. Convicted for the murder of Sheriff Brady, Billy was transported back to Lincoln County by Pat Garrett to be hanged there. He escaped from the second floor jail in the Murphy Store and overpowered guards, killing them, and escaping. Pat Garrett hunted him down and shot him according to official records. Many movies have been created depicting the Lincoln County Wars. The most recent was Young Guns; another was Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. How appropriate was it that Bonnie found a rocking horse at an antique store in Lincoln that nearly replicated her own childhood rocker bringing back memories of riding Black Beauty dressed in her cowgirl outfit, hat, boots, and six guns while watching the Lone Ranger on TV.
Driving from Fort Stanton to Ruidoso and dining at an Irish Pub, we couldn't help but wonder at the diversity here—for a few moments we felt like we were driving through New England with its pines, valleys, hills, and quaint little town storefronts sporting ski supplies, but when we saw the cowboy hats, boots, and life-sized stuffed bears, we knew we were not in New England anymore. Notwithstanding, the Apache Ski Resort in the Lincoln National Forest is a popular destination for vacationers from around the state and outside it, too—adding to the diversity of the county.

ST. PETERSBURG — It was a quiet morning in the PEMHS south campus day room as residents colored on sheets of paper and Home Improvement reruns played on a TV in the corner.
For 30 years, PEMHS, or Personal Enrichment Through Mental Health Services, has operated a treatment facility for people with mental illness out of the building at 401 16th St. N.
But that quiet morning last week would be one of its last.
PEMHS shuttered the building Friday, and with it, 14 beds primarily used by low-income and uninsured people experiencing mental health crises.
Jerry Wennlund, the nonprofit's president and CEO, said the decision was brought on by a lack of funding, a building that has outlived the organization's needs and a change in the philosophy on how to connect people to treatment. The organization will channel about $400,000 into bolstering evaluation and case management services at its main campus in Pinellas Park, which has 45 beds for adults and 15 for children, to ensure people are connected to the right level of service.
"People come to PEMHS for a variety of reasons, most of which are appropriate, but a lot of them come to us because they don't have a safe place to be," Wennlund said. "We feel that if we can get them to a safe place, they don't need inpatient care."
However, some mental illness and substance abuse treatment providers question if an already-strained system is ready for the transition.
"The amount of services we have available versus the number of people who need them is out of balance," said April Lott, president and CEO of Directions for Living. "It would be naive to believe that just because we want it to work a certain way that it will."
It's a mantra of mental health advocates that Florida is consistently ranked near the bottom for funding when compared to other states. About $435,000 in funding from the state expired this year, and insurance reimbursements, which subsidize care for uninsured and low-income people, have decreased on average over the last decade, Wennlund said.
Aside from the funding aspect, the 3,500-square-foot building has outlived its use. PEMHS bought it in the 1980s and converted it into a short-term residential treatment facility. That was the first and only renovation, even when it became a crisis unit in 2006.
The age and size have created challenges, said Kristin Ryan, coordinator of crisis services. For example, before the staff converted a closet into a therapist's office, resident meetings would happen in whichever room was free at the time, including next to a bed with straps used to restrain violent residents.
Behavioral health care providers statewide are also changing their approach to treatment, kicked off formally last year with the passage of a Senate bill mandating a coordinated system of care between providers.
Not everyone who comes to PEMHS needs the level of care that comes with staying in a locked facility, Wennlund said. And one of the biggest struggles is ensuring people show up to their next appointment. Many lack transportation, housing and a stable network of family and friends.
Wennlund wants to channel more resources into evaluating and directly connecting people to the next step, whether it's a doctor's appointment or shelter or some other service.
The majority of PEHMS's clients are brought in by law enforcement under the Baker Act, a law to commit people for evaluation who are determined to be a harm to themselves or others. The closure will lead to longer commutes, and time away from patrolling, for St. Petersburg police officers and Pinellas sheriff's deputies who work in south county.
It's not the end of the world, said Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, but he's not sure if the transition Wennlund outlined is realistic.
"Any time you have to take away from one thing and add to another, given the state of mental health and the lack of mental health funding, all that concerns me," he said.
Lott said the closure will show that state and national leaders continue to neglect people with mental illness and substance abuse issues.
"Because we have done that, people don't get the help they need until it's a crisis, so they go into a crisis stabilization unit (such as PEMHS), which we're now closing," Lott said.
The saving grace, she said, is that area service providers work well together. Her organization has set aside on-call staff to intervene with people at PEMHS for preadmission or postdischarge services.
The Suncoast Center, which provides an array of mental health and substance abuse services, implemented a program to hold doctor's appointments via video chat to make care more accessible. Kristin Mathre, the chief operating officer, echoed Lott in that cooperation will be key for the transition to succeed.
"Every creative way that we can reach people to make a difference and save lives," she said, "we have to do it."

China linked to cyber attack on U.S. nuclear arms labDecember 10th, 2007 - 7:19 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec.10 (ANI): A confidential memorandum distributed to public and private security officials by the Department of Homeland Security has linked China for a cyber attack on one of the federal government's nuclear weapons laboratories.
Security researchers said the memorandum, which was obtained by The New York Times from an executive at a private company, included a list of Web and Internet addresses that were linked to locations in China.
However, they noted that such links did not prove that the Chinese Government or Chinese citizens were involved in the attacks.
According to The International Herald Tribune, in the past, intruders have compromised computers in China and then used them to disguise their true location.
Officials at the lab, Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, said the attacks did not compromise classified information, though they acknowledged that they were still working to understand the full extent of the intrusion.
The Department of Homeland Security distributed the confidential warning to computer security officials on Wednesday after what it described as a set of "sophisticated attempts" to compromise computers used by the private sector and the government.
Government computer security officials said the warning, which was issued by the United States Computer Emergency Response Team, known as US-CERT, was related to an attack in October that was also disclosed last week by officials at the Oak Ridge laboratory. (ANI)

So on december tenth i became unemployed, but only for one month. So I just so happen to be starting a blog on thrift shopping while im not thrift shopping so much because I'm very very broke. However, hopefully this little problem won't inhibit me too much. So I thought i would share a list of things im currently looking for when i go thrifting. I usually have something in the back of my mind that im looking for when i go thrifting, and usually i find those things, eventually.
Shoe Rack, as mine and JR's shoe collection is rapidly increasing, (honestly him more than I) I actually found one the other day at Salvo ( Salvation Army)
A Cork Board, to go above my desk in the craft room (which you guys will eventually see). I actually found on of these today at Salvo today. %50 off, so i think it was $2
I know i will never find these while thrifting but perhaps i can find something like it, these are just beautiful dr. Martens.
A leather jacket, old school punk rock style.
I think this is a brilliant idea for a terrarium. I started collecting big glass fish bowls when we first moved into our house and rescued some cute little cacti and beautiful fern and planted them in these fish bowls and they look awesome. so i always look in the kitchen wares section of thrift stores and look for creatively shaped glass pieces to plant plants in.
This is a beautiful hood scarf, This inspired me to knit the scarf in the picture below which i finally finished last night. took a whole double skein of thick and thin yarn from my favorite yarn spot The Hudson Valley Sheep and Wool Co. and honestly i wish i had bought more to make it a wee bit longer and wider.
One trend that hasn't passed quite yet for me is the peter pan collar, I've been obsessing over almost any blouse with a peter pan collar and buying them up, when i find them. I love this beautiful lace one.

Remember Angelina Jolie's spy thriller Salt? Apparently some people do, enough to make people want to develop a sequel. After Jolie passed on original Salt writer Kurt Wimmer's take on the new film, Sony has hired scribe Becky Johnston (The Prince of Tides) to pen a new take. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Dust off your Aviators and get ready to go back to the Danger Zone, Top Gun is returning to the big screen! Paramount has issued a press release announcing the IMAX 3D re-release of the 1986 hit starring Tom Cruise on February 8, 2013.
Christmas has come early for fans of the popular mobile game, Angry Birds. Rovio Entertainment has announced, via press release, that a 3D, CG-animated film adaptation is due in theaters Summer 2016. Producers John Cohen (Despicable Me) and David Masiel (Iron Man) will develop the film, which has yet to lock down a writer or director.
Fans wanting a sequel to Kill Bill are in for disappointment. "I don't know if there's ever going to be a Kill Bill. Vol 3. We'll see, probably not though," Quentin Tarantinosaid in a recent interview. The director did indicate, however, that his next project might be a "companion piece" to Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds, forming an unofficial trilogy of sorts. Unchained arrives in theaters on Christmas Day. [WeGotThisCovered]

Operating internationally - Suncor's 2013 Report on Sustainability
Share this...:
View the latest Report on Sustainability
Share this page:
Suncor's international operations include assets in:
While operating outside of Canada has solid business rationale, we need to give particular thought as to how we operate in other regions.
In particular, it is our work in Libya and Syria that has understandably raised questions from some stakeholders. Those questions typically include:
In 2011, political unrest in Libya created broad upheaval in the country. In February 2011, Suncor suspended its oil operations in Libya and evacuated all expatriate staff. Near year's end, the company began a gradual return following a change in the political regime and the lifting of international sanctions. In 2012, production was restarted, and work began to resume our drilling exploration program.
In December 2011, Suncor suspended its operations in Syria to comply with international sanctions announced that month. Operations there remain suspended.
How does Suncor deal with operating in politically volatile regions?
As a business, we put plans and processes in place to deal with a variety of potential events. Our planning is done by developing and nurturing relationships with industry, various governments and other stakeholders to help us understand and mitigate the risks associated with doing business in these countries.
We continually review and practice emergency plans, as well as constantly monitor security situations through interaction with various embassies and a network of security-oriented personnel.
In both Libya and Syria, we continue to monitor the situation closely. Our top priority is always to ensure the safety of our employees. We have been consistent in our position that we will not operate in any country unless we can do so safely, responsibly and in compliance with international law.
How do you handle human rights concerns?
Even before the unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, Suncor had been developing a formalized Human Rights policy, which we adopted and began to implement in 2011. We also engaged Canadian Business for Social Responsibility in our analyses to further evaluate potential risk areas, and had begun work on a pilot project with the United Nations Global Compact.
This pilot is assisting us in implementing the Guidance on Responsible Business in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: A Resource for Companies and Investors (PDF, 48 pp., 1.2 MB). We continue to use the Global Compact project to help strengthen relevant company policies and management procedures, and to help us define where we need to improve in all the areas defined by the guidance.

Download our Human Rights policy (PDF, 2 pp., 19 KB)
How do you go about community investment in these areas?
The United Nations Global Compact helped us better understand what stakeholder expectations are of an international company operating in these kinds of environments. We've reassessed our community investment and community development practices in these countries over the last couple of years.
Suncor's new community investment strategy is focused on helping communities near our operations grow, thrive and become sustainable. As an example, in Libya, we've focused on where we feel we can deliver the greatest impact, and that is in the area of education and training in the energy sector. We've partnered with the new Libyan government to enhance oil and gas training in Tripoli, and we are helping to design and build a brand new technical training institute in Benghazi. We have to continue to find effective ways to partner with the community in international areas where we have much smaller operations and, yet, where the sustainability challenges are sometimes much bigger.
What's the rationale for operating in these potentially higher risk foreign operations?
Suncor's Libyan and Syrian assets came to Suncor as a result of the 2009 merger with Petro-Canada. In the case of Syria, Petro-Canada had been working on this opportunity since 2006 and, by the spring of 2010, just over $1 billion had been invested completing construction and commissioning of the Ebla gas plant. Between then and the suspension of operations in December 2011, Suncor made the relatively small investments required for safe, commonly accepted operational practices, which was an obligation of ours.
The purpose of our operation in Syria was to produce gas to supply about 10% of Syrian homes with electricity and, at the same time, recoup revenues to repay our shareholders the money they'd invested over the preceding three or four years. Our intent was to honour both our human rights and ethical guidelines as well as the obligations and agreements that had been signed long before the political unrest began. At the point it became impossible to do both, we suspended our operations. We continue to follow the events there with great concern.
In Libya, we abide by the exploration agreements signed with the country's leadership. Now that stability is returning to the area, we have been able to resume both our production and our exploration program.
Working for Suncor presents people there with the opportunity for good jobs and, hopefully, a better standard of living over time.
We constantly review and reassess on-the-ground conditions to ensure we can operate in a safe, responsible and principled manner.
Are your priorities in operating overseas the same as in Canada?
As with the rest of our operations, workplace safety, security and the environment are key priorities for us, and we strive to achieve the same standards wherever we operate. For safety, it's paramount that we provide the appropriate supervision and training, and the right equipment to ensure acceptable safety standards are maintained.
Outside the workplace, expatriate safety is also considered. We ensure our people live in safe locations and in an environment of mutual support. In addition, we ensure they have minimal need to drive themselves as driving can represent a significant risk. Before expatriates assume a foreign posting, they also undergo a thorough medical examination and are given cultural briefings to better understand local customs and simple precautions they can take to protect themselves.
How do you ensure appropriate business conduct and handle issues such as foreign corruption?
Our position on bribery and corruption is clear. No employee, agent or contractor of ours should ever offer or accept a bribe or kickback. In addition to Suncor's Business Code of Conduct, we've put training programs in place so all our employees understand the boundaries for ethical behaviour and the need to flag anything that looks like a grey area.
Does Suncor believe it's possible to be a responsible energy developer and operate in higher risk areas?
There is undeniably more risk in some areas overseas than in Canada, Europe or the United States. But with the right efforts and due diligence, those risks can be manageable. For the foreseeable future, we will regularly review the risks of doing business in places like Syria and Libya. Our investors, employees and other stakeholders should expect nothing less.
