I have checked through the databases in Ref Manager (v. 11) and have deleted duplicated references using the Batch command. However, I still have a problem where if I use the same reference more than once it is cited as two or more separate references rather than one (i.e., XXX et al., 2001 iscited in the text 2 times, it will will appear as XXX et al., 2001a and XXX et al., 2001b). In addition, these same references are cited separately in the References at the end of the text rather than only once. Is there a way to get rid of this automatically without having to go over each reference where this occur and re-insert ? (I am working with an considerable large document).
this happened to me also.
not sure why.
but i tried gen. biblio, again the next day.
only thing i did different was to"accept" all my tracked-changes in my Word 2007 doc, and then turn OFF tracked changes (TRK),
it has worked OK since i did that.
apparently, in my computer, the biblio generating process got corrupted and generated sev'l bibliographies for the same ref ID #, and different citation #'s throught the Word 2007 doc, if you generate the bibliography with tracked-changes still in the document and with tracked changes (TRK) still ON.
don't know if, however, t/c has anything to do with why the duplicate citations, and numbers in text changing all around, or not.
but, if you have t/c in your document, try to do a test " doc" by saving AS, to another file name, and then "accepting" all changes and then turn off TRK - before - you generate bibliography.

This problem usually comes from the fact that you worked with the WORD document without having opened the database at the same time. Then, you probably inserted a reference that was already in the text. But because the database was not open, you actually inserted the reference from what is the WORD file, not the database. As a result , you now have two references which will be considered distinct when generating the bibliography.
The only way to correct the situation is to go reference by reference in the text (use the "Find" function of WORD) to identify each occurence of this duplicated reference (say, if you have John et al 2006a and John et al 2006b, look at every occurence of "John et al 2006"). If your references are by number in th text, you must identify the duplicates by their number (but see later about that).
Once you have identified a reference, make a right click on the field to see its ID number and check whether that that reference with this ID number is in the database (do not forget to open the database). If it is, leave it like that. If it has another ID number, delete it, and then reinsert it BUT look carefully that the reference you insert comes from the database, NOT from the text. You will see this as follows: if they are 2 or more entries for the same referene in the Insert Citation dialog box, select them one by one (but do not isert) and look at the bottom of this dialog box, where you will see where the reference comes from (Database: <name> where name is either the name of the database file or the name of the WORD file). Reinsert only the reference that comes from the Database, NOT from the WORD file. Once you will have removed all duplicates coming from the WORD file, the Insert Citation dialog box will only show the reference from the Datbase. At that point, you kow that you have done your job. Then, generate a new bibliography and it should be correct (unless you have missed one or two occurences...).
Caveat: if your references are by number in the text, you will decrement the number by 1 each time you remove a duplicate. You, therefore, will need to generate a new bibliography each time to find out the new number of the next cuplicate. For that reason, it is better to do what I suggested above using (for the time being) an output file (.os) that shows names in text (say John et al. 2006) than one showing [1] ... You may then revert back to the output file you were using when regenerating the final bibliography.
I know that what I said seems long and tedious, but is is the only way I found to suppress those "duplicates". The main message is, however: NEVER open your WORD document without opening at the same time the correspondig database. This will avoid all problem of this nature.
I hope this helps.
For what it's worth, I just ran into this problem and seem to have solved it by "revert to original text" followed by "generate biobliography." (Word 2003, RefMan 11.0.1) After manually fixing the first paragraph, I figured it was worth a try.
Strange, I did not solve the problem, so I did the last maste ones by hand.
May be the last advise would have worked.
Thanks for the advice, all of you!
Dhorita is correct. This issue happens when your document gets "out of sync" with your database, and is always resolved by reverting to original text (or "unformatting citations" if you have 12 and Word 2007/2010) and generating the bibliography again.
Hopefully this will be helpful knowledge if it happens again!

Live Life: Be Cool
18th August 2013
Had a trip to Teignmouth Pier today on the south coast to photograph a new model Joe Taylor. The day was just right for the type of shot I was after – bright sun with loads of contrast. I had already arranged with Joe what he was to wear and as soon as he arrived we got cracking. The idea I had was to portray 'Mr Cool' against a seaside backdrop. Teignmouth was ideal as it is a typical seaside town and although there were people enjoying the seaside on a lovely day, there were not so many as to cause a problem. I was after creating images that had that retro feel and so I post processed them increasing the saturation dramatically then adding a lomo effect adjusting until I had the look I was after. All in all I am pleased with them and Joe was a good model to work with. As he comes from Teignmouth I think he was comfortable in his own surroundings anyway.

| 1772
Damghan, Iran
| 1834
Isfahan, Iran
|Shahanshah of Iran
|Years Active
|Mohammad Khan Qajar
|Mohammad Shah Qajar
|Shia Islam
Early Life and Crowning
He was born in Damghan on 5 September 1772, and was called Fath-Ali, a name which his great-grandfather, a prominent figure bore. He was the son of Hossein Qoli Khan Qajar, brother of Agha Mohammad Khan. He was also known by his second name of Baba Khan, a name he would use until his coronation in 1797.
Fath-Ali was governor of Fars when his uncle was assassinated in 1797. Fath-Ali then ascended the throne and used the name of Fath Ali Shah (with the word "shah" added on his name). He became suspicious of his chancellor Ebrahim Khan Kalantar and ordered his execution. Hajji Ebrahim Khan had been chancellor to Zand and Qajar rulers for some fifteen years.
Much of his reign was marked by the resurgence of Persian arts and painting, as well as a deeply elaborate court culture with extremely rigid etiquette. In particular during his reign, portraiture and large-scale oil painting reached a height previously unknown under any other Islamic dynasty, largely due to his personal patronage.
Fat′h Ali also ordered the creation of much royal regalia, including coronations chairs; the "Takht-e Khurshīd" or Sun Throne; the "Takht-e Nāderi" or Naderi Throne, which was also used by later kings; and the "Tāj-e Kiyāni" or Kiani Crown, a modification of the crown of the same name created by his uncle Agha Mohammad Khan. The latter, like most of his regalia, was studded with a large number of pearls and gems.
In 1797, Fat′h Ali was given a complete set of the Britannica's 3rd edition, which he read completely; after this feat, he extended his royal title to include "Most Formidable Lord and Master of the Encyclopædia Britannica." In 1803, Fath-Ali Shah appointed his cousin Ebrahim Khan as the governor of the Kerman Province, which had been devastated during the reign of Agha Mohammad Khan.
Russo-Persian Wars
First Russo-Persian War (1804-1813)
During the early reign of Fat′h Ali Shah,
Imperial Russia took control of Georgia, a territory which Iran had ruled intermittently since 1555 with the Peace of Amasya. Georgia, led by Erekle II, had forged an alliance with Persia's rival, Russia, following the Treaty of Georgievsk. To punish his Georgian subjects, his uncle, Agha Mohammad Khan, had invaded and sacked Tblisi, seeking to re-establishing full Persian suzerainty over Georgia, in which he succeeded. Even though the Russian garrisons in the city had to retreat, Persia didn't manage to put back all of its needed garrisons over the country as Agha Mohammad Khan was assassinated soon afterwards in Shusha, following with Russia's act of annexation of those priorly-Iranian ruled parts of Georgia in 1801, after many Georgian embassies and a treaty. Also, not only was Georgia annexed but also was Dagestan invaded, which had also been under Persian rule since the early Safavid era. As it was seen as a direct intrusion into Persian territory, Fat′h Ali Shah, determined to reassert Persian hegemony over the whole region, declared war on Russia after General Pavel Tsitsianov attacked and stormed the city of Ganja, massacring many of its inhabitants and forcing many thousands to flee deeper within the Iranian domains. In 1804, Fath Ali Shah ordered the invasion of Georgia in order to regain it, under pressure from the Shia clergy, who were urging a war against Russia. The war began with notable victories for the Persians, but Russia shipped in advanced weaponry and cannons that disadvantaged the technologically inferior Qajar forces, who did not have the artillery to match. Russia continued with a major campaign against Persia; Persia asked for help from Britain on the grounds of a military agreement with that country (the military agreement was signed after the rise of Napoleon in France). However, Britain refused to help Persia claiming that the military agreement concerned a French attack not Russian.
Persia had to ask for help from France, sending an ambassador to Napoleon and concluding a Franco-Persian alliance with the signature of the Treaty of Finkenstein. However, just when the French were ready to help Persia, Napoleon made peace with Russia. At this time, John Malcolm arrived in Persia and promised support but Britain later changed its mind and asked Persia to retreat. Though many years the war had been stale and located in various parts of Transcaucasia, the peace with Napoleon enabled the Russians to increase their war efforts in the Caucasus against Iran. In early 1813, under General Pyotr Kotlyarevsky, the Russians successfully stormed Lankaran. Russian troops invaded Tabriz in 1813 and Persia was forced to sign the Treaty of Gulistan with Russia.
Treaty of Gulistan
On account of consecutive defeats of Persia and after the fall of Lankaran on 1 January 1813, Fath Ali Shah, was forced to sign the disastrous Treaty of Gulistan. The text of treaty was prepared by a British diplomat; Sir Gore Ouseley; and was signed by Nikolai Fyodorovich Rtischev from the Russian side and Hajji Mirza Abol Hasan Khan from the Iranian side on 24 October 1813 in the village of Gulistan.
By this treaty all of the cities, towns, and villages of Georgia, villages and towns on the coast of the Black Sea, all of the cities, towns and villages of the Khanates in the South Caucasus and North Caucasus, and part of the Talysh Khanate, including Megrelia, Abkhazia,Imeretia, Guria, Baku khanate, Shirvan Khanate, Derbent, Karabakh khanate, Ganja khanate, Shaki Khanate and Quba Khanate became part of Russia. These territories altogether comprise modern-day Georgia, southern Dagestan, and most of the contemporary Azerbaijan Republic. In return, Russia pledged to support Abbas Mirza as heir to the Persian throne after the death of Fat′h Ali Shah.
Second Russo-Persian War (1826-1828)
In 1826, 13 years after the Treaty of Gulistan, the Shah on the advice of British agents and the utter dissatisfaction with the outcome of the previous war, Fath Ali Shah decided to occupy the lost territories. Crown prince Abbas Mirza, head of the armies, invaded the Talysh Khanateand Karabakh khanate with an army of 35,000 on 16 July 1826. The first year of the war was very successful, and the Persians managed to regain most of their lost territories of the 1804-1813 war, including the principal cities of Lenkoran, Quba, and Baku. However the tide turned after the winter. In May 1827, Ivan Paskevich, Governor of Caucasus, invaded Echmiadzin, Nakhichevan, Abbasabadand on 1 October Erivan. Fourteen days later, General Eristov entered Tabriz. In January 1828, when the Russians reached the shores of Lake Urmia, Abbas Mirza urgently signed the Treaty of Turkmenchay on 2 February 1828.
Treaty of Turkmenchay
The Turkmenchay Treaty was signed on 21 February 1828 by Hajji Mirza Abol Hasan Khan and General Ivan Paskevich. By this treaty the Erivan khanate (most of OTL Armenia, and also a small part of Eastern Anatolia), Nakhchivan khanate(most of the OTL Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan), the Talysh Khanate (southeastern Azerbaijan), the Ordubad and Mughan became under the rule of Imperial Russia. By this treaty, Iran had lost all of its Caucasian territories comprising all of Transcaucasia and Dagestan to neighboring Imperial Russia. Iran furthermore pledged to pay Russia 10 Million in Gold, and in return Russia pledged to support Abbas Mirza as heir to the Persian throne after the death of Fat′h Ali Shah. The treaty also stipulated the resettlement of Armenians from Persia to the Caucasus, which also included an outright liberation of Armenian captives who were brought and had lived in Iran since 1804 or as far back as 1795.
Failed Invasion of Herat
Between 1805 and 1816, Qajar rulers began invading Herat in neighboring Afghanistan with small detachments. The Persians were attempting to retake control of the city but were forced to abandon it due to Afghan uprisings. In 1818 the Shah sent his son Mohammad Vali Mirza to capture the city but he was defeated at the Battle of Kafir Qala.
Later Life and Death
Fat′h Ali later employed writers and painters to make a book about his wars with Russia, inspired by the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi. This book, considered by many to be the most important Persian book written in the Qajar period, is called the Shahanshahnama.
In 1829, Alexandr Griboyedov, the Russian diplomat and playwright was killed in the encirclement of the Russia embassy in Tehran. To apologize, the Shah sent prince Khosrow Mirza to Tsar Nicholas I to deliver a formal apology, as well as one of the biggest diamonds of his crown jewelry, namely Shah Diamond.
When his beloved son and crown prince Abbas Mirza died on 25 October 1833, Fat′h Ali named his grandson Mohammed Mirza as his crown prince. Fat′h Ali died a year later, on 23 October 1834.
The Family Man
Fath Ali Shah is reported to have had more than 1,000 spouses. He was survived by fifty-seven sons and forty-six daughters, along with 296 grandsons and 292 granddaughters. His first son, Mohammad Ali Mirza Dowlatshah, was seven months older than his brother Abbas Mirza (Fath Ali Shah's Crown Prince), but on account of his mother, Ziba Chehreh Khanoum's non-Qajar origin (she was Georgian) he was unable to be the crown prince.

Fifth of 13 Videos about my trip, in 80 days from New York to Los Angeles by bicycle, the third week on the road, me getting lost, the crooked road, the Appalachians.
The music used is from the album « To the end of the world », which was recorded by The Lone John Harps in 2014.
You can download the tracks or the album at: https://thelonejohnharps.bandcamp.com
The text was written during the trip, and reflects the state of mind I was in at that moment.
Third Week: Climbing the Hill
There is this moment, climbing the hill, when you feel such a tiredness, such a bone-tired weariness that you can't go any further. You are exhausted, wrung out, dead beat.
Suddenly, the idea of another, easier way flashes through the mind.
Giving up becomes an option, the all-encompassing necessity of getting to the end of it suddenly isn't the only possibility anymore.
From being an idea in your head it becomes a hypothetical sensation, the feeling of being shaded, resting, slumped down in a seat while someone drives you the rest of the way.
This is when resolve kicks in, when you start arguing with yourself, to conjure and expose what you would feel and look like if you gave up.
And by the time you're full right in the middle of these considerations, you realize that you have climbed most of the hill already. So you decide to go at least until the top of it and then see.
And once you are there it goes all the way down, so you might as well get that done.
You feel exhilarated and reinvigorated by the speed, the landscapes rushing past, and you wonder how you could have ever even envisaged giving up.
You sing along to the tune, you shout out your aliveness, the wind blowing in your face.
And then you are back at the bottom. But you feel confident. You can do it, the first stretch sloping upwards is easy, you're still carrying the movement from before.
Maybe something has changed, in the nature of the hill or deep within you.
And even as it gets a little harder you tell yourself that it can't be as bad as what you've just managed to climb.
And then you feel it all being slowly drained again, the enthusiasm, the joy, the willingness, the physical strength.
And then you get to that moment climbing the hill, when you feel such a tiredness, such a bone-tired weariness that you can't go any further…

May 2015 – it's just four months before 144 young Boys and Girls boarders will arrive at Loyola Jesuit Secondary School (LJSS) to begin Form One (Grade Nine). Will we be ready for them? Will they have a classroom for studies? A chapel to pray? A hostel (dormitory) to sleep? A dining room to eat? Will the teachers be nearby?
These are very big questions for all of us associated with LJSS right now. And we are very happy to say: YES, WE WILL BE READY! Thanks to the generosity of donors, the hard work of contractor, architect and teams, the careful oversight of Fr. Aloyz Podgrajsek, S.J. (Project manager) and the prayers of so many, many people, construction of what is needed right now at LJSS has been completed!
When we began with groundbreaking in September 2012, we looked at an empty 22 hectare (50 acre) field – beautiful, but empty!
Today, we can see that field of dreams, crowded with all the necessary Phase One buildings constructed and equipped.
Crowded LJSS campus seen from nearby highway, with Phase One construction completed.
Here is a quick and encouraging overview of what has actually been completed:
- The Administration Block contains offices for the Head Teacher and other officials, with additional offices for teachers and meeting rooms for conferences.
- Eight classrooms and two laboratories provide the learning spaces for Form One and Form Two (Grades Nine and Ten) learners. And temporary library space is also provided.
- Hostels (dormitories) are outfitted with comfortable bunk beds and lockers for all Boys and Girls boarders.
- Kitchen and dining facilities are complete, with the necessary cookers, ovens, pots and pans, tables and benches.
- A large Conference Hall provides space for many gatherings to take place during the school year. It also serves as space for religious services until our Chapel is built in Phase Two.
- Teachers' housing next to campus is ready to welcome ten new faculty.
- Electricity is connected (with an emergency generator also installed) and municipality water is available with borehole backup.
- And of course there are sports fields for recreation and for training future Malawi football and netball national champions!
All of this good work has been possible through the generous support of so many benefactors, large and small. Church organisations, Jesuit communities around the world, foundations, parishes and schools, businesses, individual benefactors – from all across the globe! And the Government of Malawi has been very cooperative and supportive. We Jesuits connected with LJSS are deeply appreciative of this assistance!
Something that has encouraged all of us involved in setting up LJSS has been the enthusiasm of visitors who come to see what is happening on this site in Kasungu. Surprised at the size of the school's infrastructure, impressed by the quality of workmanship, challenged by the task of getting this up and running, and moved by the generosity of donors what make all this possible: these are reactions that keep us moving forward.
Just take a look at some of the impressive structures on campus.

Kitchen ready for installation of cookers, etc.
If you would like to help us move forward in our educational commitment to Malawian youth, please let us hear from you. Funds for the construction of Phase Two and for provision of all the necessary furnishings and equipment are still greatly needed! Go to 'Support Us – on this webpage' for details of how you can "Help Us". Thank you!
UPDATE: GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY | 21 September 2012
Construction has now begun in Kasungu on Loyola Jesuit Secondary School! This was marked by a joyous Groundbreaking Ceremony on Friday 21 September 2012. The event was both 'formal' in the presence of and speeches by high Government, Traditional Authority, and Church officials, and 'festive' with the singing and dancing of local people and youth.
Building a new secondary school that is for 500 boarders, young women and men, is no inexpensive task in Malawi! Our architect has drawn plans for classrooms and laboratories, library, administration offices, boarding facilities, kitchen and dining room, clinic, residences for teachers, chapel, and general purpose hall. Also included are playing fields, orchards and agricultural plots, and plenty of green spaces!
The initial estimated cost to get things up and running is about USD eight and one-half million (USD 8,500,000) That surely seems like a lot of money but we have to realise that costs in Malawi are very high because most construction materials must be imported into this land locked country. Kasungu is several thousand kilometers from the places in South Africa where we must secure roofing sheets, window and door frames, ceiling materials, electrical fittings, plumbing fixtures, etc. Even cement will have to be imported! Costs for these necessary materials add up very fast.
With Zambia-Malawi Jesuit Province funds we have already been able to secure an excellent and well-situated plot of 22 hectares in Kasungu (120 kms from the capital of Malawi, Lilongwe.) The plot is close to St. Joseph's Parish, our Jesuit pastoral centre. We have protected it with a wall fence, paid for electrical and water connections, and provided an access road.
We have now begun the first stage of construction. Phase One includes those structures necessary to begin operations for enrolment of Form One and Two girls and boys in September 2014, and will cost approximately USD four and million (USD 4,000,000). Phase Two construction will see the school through to its completion.
Beyond construction costs will come two additional demands. There will be the expenses for furnishing the school buildings and providing necessary educational supplies such as books and laboratory materials. Moreover, we will seek endowment funds for providing bursaries for students from families of lesser means (especially from the local area of Kasungu) and for rewarding staff appraised to be particularly supportive in promoting the goals of Ignatian Education.
We have devised a funding schedule that begins with seeking some large donations from foundations and institutions and will move toward securing smaller grants and donations for initial building funds or specific parts of the overall project, e.g., boarding facilities, classrooms, IT room, library, etc.
With generous help from Jesuit groups around the world, some foundations, and many individuals, we are past the 50% mark right now and have been able to commence Phase One construction. But we have a long way yet to go!
People ask how sustainable will our ambitious project be? Because we will be a 'grant-aided' school, salaries for teachers and some staff, plus some minor costs, are covered by the Government of Malawi. Boarding fees and minor grants will make possible the remainder of annual expenses – as has been the case in the other well-established Church–administrated schools in Malawi.
Of course, we will ultimately rely on God's good graces to be truly sustainable! And we will trust in the generosity of those who will be encouraged by this website to donate to our school.
4 Responses so far.
There is no doubt this is a sustainable project just like the other catholic schools e.g. Ludzi Girls, Likuni Girls. I can't wait to see this school by the Jesuits in Malawi. You offer excellent education and I am happy you have started. May God continue to grant his blessings. Regards, Callista Mutharika

RFID tops the chart in medicine with vastly increased safety, efficiency and ROI. Mobile technology, has the potential to change healthcare. But the kind of wireless technology that could make the greatest impact is radio frequency identification (RFID).
RFID tops the chart in medicine with vastly
increased safety, efficiency and ROI
Atsushi Koshio is Director of Healthcare Business at medRF, a
wireless health strategy consultancy based in
Tokyo. He has a finger on
the pulse of Japan's healthcare industry, where
wireless solutions have flourished since the 1990s. Mobile
technology, he thinks, has the potential to change healthcare.
But the kind of wireless technology
that could make the greatest
impact, radio frequency identification (RFID), has not
been widely adopted.
"RFID is not just key to making better use of physical assets,"
says Koshio. ―It can have a substantial impact on
patient safety. It also has the
potential to produce a phenomenal
return on investment. But high
up front costs are still proving to
be a significant barrier to
entry, given the state of the economy.‖
Cost of entry for RFID may be high relative to other kinds of
wireless technology but so are returns, believes Jorma Lalla,
whose company Nordic ID has been busy optimizing RFID technology
for the past 15 years. The CEO
of the Salo, Finland-based RFID
mobile computer manufacturer
sees change on the horizon. "As the technology becomes
more ubiquitous, prices drop across the board - on tags,
readers and associated devices,‖ he says. "Other supply chains are
now using RFID end-to-end and I think that it won't be long
before we see wholesale adoption in the field of medicine.
Besides, it's a perfect fit with the criticality of
RFID key to trackable processes and
When human lives hang in the
balance, RFID may indeed be a
perfect fit. RFID tags have
the capacity to record new data almost indefinitely,
resulting in mountains of information attached to the item
or person in question, reducing the
possibility of error and obviating
the need to scan and connect to a
remote database.
RFID tags can form part of a hospital wristband, a blood product
label, a biomedical implant or any medical device. They can be
tiny or large, immersible or flexible. Unlike barcodes, tags can
also be read from meters away, for example by an interrogator
mounted on the ceiling or beside a door.
Koshio and Lalla both agree that
affordability is the single largest
barrier in the health sector worldwide.
"But it's definitely where wireless use in healthcare will
end up,‖ says Koshio. "The advantages of RFID over any other
technology are just so overwhelming."
RFID increases blood tracking safety
& efficiency
To date, RFID has made some important inroads in various
healthcare niches around the world. At a blood
processing center on the Spanish
island of Mallorca, for example, RFID
has increased efficiency, safety and maximized the
use of a perishable resource.
Traditional, barcode-based blood product
tracking meant unpacking crates of
frozen blood bags and scanning or reading each bag
in turn - no small task with 30,000 bags packed 80 to a crate
in a deep freezer. A complicating
factor is that each bag was
tagged with up to six barcodes
as it passed through the stages of its journey.
These all needed to be scanned at each step.
RFID tags have shortcut the
process by storing all information -
including a record of ambient temperature
over time - on each bag's re-recordable RFID tag. Staff can quickly
find blood bags by scanning up to 400
bags per second and drilling down
to see all the information
associated with any bag. Because it used to take
so long to find the right bag in subarctic temperatures, staff
might have ended their search more
quickly by sending a 28-day old
bag of blood of the correct
type. Now the optimal bag - that
closest to expiry - is quickly found
and put to use, maximizing
a precious resource.
Hospital returns 186% on RFID
RFID recently hit the mainstream at a major California hospital
when the health centre became one of the first
in the U.S. to jump high
and clear over the RFID cost
barrier. In May 2010,
Mission Hospital, the largest
healthcare provider in Orange County,
rolled out a hybrid RFID/
infrared tracking system. Mike Kohler, the hospital's
Director of Material Management, has never looked back. He
pegs ROI to date at 186%.
"I don't know how a large medical centre can continue to
maintain all the different parameters they have to and be
state of the art without RFID," states Kohler. "It simplifies
processes, drives down costs and you can literally raise your
ability to care for patients."
The system implemented at Mission
Hospital is designed to improve logistics
by keeping track of medical devices. Each carries
an RFID tag that tracks whereabouts as well as parameters such
as last maintenance and/or cleaning. With a few keystrokes,
administrators and medical professionals can locate all
devices. This has boosted device utilization rates and
eliminated equipment rentals and hoarding, a
common problem in hospitals
worldwide. Equipment shrinkage has also
dropped from $150,000 per year to zero.
Financial returns are just the
The logistical and financial advantages are real, but Kohler
sees that as just the start. "Mission has a large trauma wing
with lots of specialized equipment, some of which is called
into use on other floors. When a trauma case comes in, it's
critical to have that equipment ready and waiting. Since it's
now tagged, we can get it back within a minute or two, ready for
the patient's arrival. And in the U.S. healthcare system,
that's a marketable strategic advantage."
Kohler is most excited about future plans to
capitalize on the greatest advantage of all: RFID's capacity
to improve patient care. The upcoming expansion of Mission's RFID
system will center on ways to reduce cross-contamination
-especially hand washing, the number one preventer of
cross-infection in hospital environments. Should they neglect to
wash their hands as they move in and out of patient rooms,
healthcare professionals will receive alerts on their mobile
Why is healthcare slow to adopt
Considering all the benefits and
the return on investment, the
question that many logistics professionals
are asking themselves is 'Why hasn't every hospital implemented
RFID already?' Part of the reason has to do with the global
healthcare industry's main objection to adopting
ICT solutions in general: business continuity. When the
ability to provide patient care is so crucial -no matter what
happens - you've got to be absolutely certain that you can trust
your systems. It's the reason why hospitals
have generators for back-up power: to
maintain the ability to provide
care, come hell or high water.
Paper may be hard to keep track
of, but historically it has
been very reliable.
"Now that ICT solutions have proven their resilience beyond
question in virtually every industry," observes Koshio, ―healthcare
is moving wholesale into wireless communication adoption. We're
at the cusp of a new era centered around RFID.‖ Kohler
couldn't agree more. "I believe that within 15 years,
virtually all healthcare processes will be electronically managed.
The human component will center more around stocking and
moving equipment, not managing it."
As exemplified by blood product tracking on Spain's Balearic
Islands, more than just equipment and people will
be managed: blood products, neural
implants. cardiac valves, bone
morphogenic proteins and tissue
implants all have expiration dates
and need to be stored at
the correct temperature and humidity. RFID can
help to better manage such precious resources, saving
money and lives.
"If it were simply a replacement for existing technology," says
Lalla, "RFID would continue its slow growth in the field of
healthcare. The fact is that RFID enables hospitals to do things
that they have never done before, like
enforcing hand washing and eliminating
hoarding and shrinkage. This
is huge. It won't be long before the global healthcare
sector wakes up to the tremendous advantages of RFID."
Watch this nice video on RFID in hospitals:
We are motivated to try this in a health care arena, so the above info is interesting.
Kohler is most excited about future plans to capitalize on the greatest advantage of all: RFID's capacity to improve patient care. The upcoming expansion of Mission's RFID system will center on ways to reduce cross-contamination -especially hand washing, the number one preventer of cross-infection in hospital environments. Should they neglect to wash their hands as they move in and out of patient rooms, healthcare professionals will receive alerts on their mobile devices.

At the end of March, I wrote a column asking if St. Xavier University pitcher Nicole Nonnemacher could be the greatest pitcher in NAIA history.
At the beginning of June, I had my answer.
Before Nonnemacher, who was huge in guiding SXU to a second-place finish in the NAIA World Series last week, burst onto the scene, a case could be made for Rachel Murray being the best ever.
Murray pitched for Union University in Tennessee from 1999-2002 and is the NAIA leader in victories with 126. She racked up an NAIA best 68 shutouts and 16 no-hitters. Her career strikeout total of 1,257 ranked fourth.
Great, great numbers for the downstate Herrin native. Who knows if her win total will ever get beat?
Murray was inducted into the UU Hall of Fame in 2015.
After college, she had a tryout with the USA Olympic Softball team, was an assistant softball coach at the University of Mobile and went to India on a medical mission trip. She is married and her last name is now Buchanan and she is a physical therapist assistant in Houston.
Nonnemacher, a Bloomington native, finished her career with 103 wins, 53 shutouts and managed to pass Murray in strikeouts with 1,392 and tied her in no-hitters with 16. The strikeout total is second in NAIA history to Oklahoma City's Lily Lavelle, who had 1,411 from 2009-2012.
Nonnemacher also has two perfect games including one against Trinity International in which she struck out all 15 batters she faced. She's the second player in NAIA history to do that. She also struck out 42 batters in a doubleheader against a strong St. Ambrose team this year. She is the only player in NAIA history to do that.
Her best performance, in my humble opinion, came in the World Series on May 30 when when she beat top-seeded Oklahoma City University, 1-0, in the third round. Oklahoma came into the game with 542 runs in 65 games and Nonnemacher shut its hitters out and was one strike away from a no-hitter. It was the first time Oklahoma was shut out in 2016.
Even though Oklahoma came back out of the losers bracket to beat SXU 2-0 and 5-0 to win the World Series last Thursday, Nonnemacher's body of work was still strong enough as she was named NAIA Pitcher of the Year a third consecutive time and named to the NAIA All-America team a fourth time.
Catcher Brittany Plimmer was on the NAIA second team and coach Myra Minuskin was happy for both leaders, who helped the Cougars to a 46-10-1 mark.
"Nicole is hands down the best player we have ever had in our program and ends her career as one of the most decorated players in the history of NAIA softball," said Minuskin. "I have had so many people tell me throughout her four years at Saint Xavier that she is the most talented pitcher they have ever seen and I have to agree with them. Brittany was also a huge reason why we had such an amazing season. She is the best defensive catcher we have ever had and is also a fierce competitor. I'm so proud of both of these exceptionally talented young women."
That pretty much seals it for me. I hereby proclaim Nonnemacher the GOAT – greatest of all time – when it comes to NAIA pitchers.
There was Nonne better.

It really is 9 o' clock in the morning. You start your day with a program breakfast and a shower and have huge desires. In Naruto's scenario, to be acknowledged by the villagers by turning out to be the hokage. So, even though strolling to the academy with good attire alongside with devices and forgetting the past and hunting ahead to a demanding long term with a shiny smile, what are the obstacles that Naruto need to prevail over to come to be the hokage:
Ninja Position System
The most affordable stage of the ninja position process in the Naruto earth. The students master as a result of wide theoretical ninja capabilities, also recognized as jutsus and carry out essential jutsus these types of as the alternative procedure whereby the user has the ability to replicate himself or other folks that he wishes to replicate. Pupils graduate from the academy by passing the ultimate test.
Obtained following graduating from the ninja academy by carrying a headband which symbolizes their respective village. The ninja's existence commences in this article as they are exposed to different ranges of mission and utilize their jutsus all through battles. Ninjas are hope to carry out D rank jutsus like simple replication procedure.
Soon after a several missions, the students would enter into the chuunin tests divided into three stages many alternative test, forest of dying and unexpected dying tournament to comprehensive the full test.
The tests are slightly different to genin as the ninjas have to get the job done together in get to accomplish their common objective.
For occasion, in Forest of Death, each Sasuke and Naruto blended their efforts to prevail over a group of ninja from the rain village to acquire a single of the scrolls demanded in the mission.
The test also test the ninja's ability to make the proper selections and doing work as a group.
The jounins usually carry out B rank jutsus and have the obligation to protect the village as a full. They also have to look for new missions and lead their own group like for instance, Kakashi of Team 7, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. Some jounins have a tendency to participate in specialized jounins or ANBU which is a group that carry out prime key missions and need to conceal their genuine identity from the other ninjas.
The best position ninja in the Naruto earth. In the long run posses all the rank jutsus from A to S but a lot more generally posses the A rank and S rank jutsus also recognized as kinjutsus or "forbidden" jutsus which induce damage to the user. The most noteworthy instance is the sealing jutsu executed by the fourth hokage in sealing the kyuubi into Naruto's overall body. Other examples are Naruto's ability to carry out kage bunshins and the cursed seal procedure executed by Sasuke.
Also recognized as a single of the most highly effective ninja in a single of the five highly effective nations Konohagakure (Hokage), Sunagakure (Kazekage), Kirigakure (Mizukage), Kumogakure (Raikage) and Iwagakure (Tsuchikage).
The leader of the ninja culture, addressed as being equivalent with the rulers of their place, oversees the functions of their villages, from time to time seek advice from with the higher ups folks, sending and allocate groups into missions and making selections with regards to the protection of the village.
But what is the larger photo for the village?
Only a several elite ninjas accomplish the final placement alongside with equipping highly effective jutsus, bloodline limits and forbidden tactics. But being at the best stage like for occasion, the hokage is not just about having understanding on all kinds of jutsu as Sarutobi, the third hokage once emphasized that being the hokage is about relentless resolve and ready to sacrifice for many others to go on to the newer and at any time more powerful generations.

The Minnesota Wild attempt to extend their winning streak and complete a home-and-home sweep when they host the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. Minnesota has posted three straight victories, including a 5-3 triumph over the reigning Stanley Cup champions in Chicago on Saturday. Jason Pominville celebrated his 600th career game with a pair of goals as the Wild stretched their point streak to four contests while halting Chicago's at seven.
The Blackhawks have won only two of their last five contests but earned points in losses to St. Louis in a shootout and Tampa Bay in overtime. Chicago has gone into a defensive funk, allowing a total of 11 goals in its last two games. Left wing Bryan Bickell is on a tear, scoring a goal in each of his last four contests after going without one in his first seven matches.

Land Rover is excited to announce the next vehicle in the Classic Land Rover 'Reborn' series that will be fully restored to its original condition, the Range Rover.
The Range Rover Reborn program is offering Land Rover and car enthusiasts an opportunity to buy an original vintage Range Rover. The Range Rover Reborn program was created due to the largely successful start of the Land Rover Series 1 Reborn program last year.
The first completely restored vintage Range Rover will make its debut at the Salon Retromobile 2017 car show in Paris, France from February 8-12.
The team at Land Rover Classic has put together research from years of engineering and design to make sure they are properly restoring the first Range Rover Reborn.
The first Range Rover that will be restored will be a 1978 Classic Range Rover in the color Bahama Gold. It will feature a 3528cc V8 Petrol Carburetor Zenith-Stromberg 175CD type engine with a max power of 132bhp at 5000rpm, a max torque of 186lb-ft at 2500rpm, and 4-speed manual transmission (lockable central differential).
"Range Rover Reborn is another showcase of our dedicated in-house engineering expertise," Tim Hannig, Director, Jaguar Land Rover Classic, says. "It underscores our commitment to nurturing the rich heritage of Land Rover, and is a rare opportunity for customers to own a valuable and genuinely collectible automotive icon. It is a wonderful way to preserve the much sought after three-door original Range Rover from the 1970s, from period-correct color ways to interior trim and accessories."
The Range Rover Reborn vehicle will be completely restored according to the original 1970s factory specifications and will use Land Rover Classic parts to keep the vehicle authentic.
Car enthusiasts with a sweet spot for Land Rover Classic vehicles will have a change to purchase a Range Rover Reborn. The price will start at around $170,000.

LAKE ARIEL — Anthony Sparango just needed to win his match.
A victory would secure a spot in the District 2 Class 2A final for Western Wayne.
He pinned Scranton Prep's Geoffrey Pizzto at 170 pounds to seal the win for the Wildcats with one match left.
"He started getting tired and I was feeling good still I knew he wasn't scoring on me," Sparango said. "I wasn't letting him score on me and I was just keeping control of the match.
"I was spralling on him, making sure he couldn't get control of my legs."
Derek Swoyer followed up the win with another pin against Luke Johnson 34 seconds into the match as the Wildcats pulled away for a 45-26 victory Wednesday night at Western Wayne High School.
"Our crowd was great tonight," Western Wayne coach Dante Terenzio said. "We had them on our side, which was fantastic. That really pushed a lot of guys through so hopefully we'll travel well on Saturday."
The Wildcats will face Honesdale, who defeated Lake-Lehman, to advance Saturday's final at Pittston Area High School.
The WVC was kept out of the Western Wayne semifinals when Scranton Prep topped Nanticoke Area, 57-20, and Western Wayne dealt Berwick a 63-15 defeat.
In their ensuing consolation matchup, Nanticoke Area defeated Berwick for the second time in two weeks, 37-36. The Trojans (3-2 WVC Division 2) — who earned the WVC's No. 2 seed when they beat Berwick (2-3) on Jan. 24, 51-27 — had a tougher battle the second time around, when only half the bouts were contested.
Nanticoke Area trailed 30-25 with three bouts remaining when Adam Eckhart (160) and Isaiah Johnson (170) earned back-to-back pins in the first period to clinch the victory. Christopher Maute also had a Trojans pin to help the team move to Saturday's consolation semifinals.
Scranton Prep's Ivan Balavage kicked off the semifinal match with a pin over Alex Hollister for his school-record 120th victory, topping his brother Thor's mark.
"We're always pushing each other," Ivan said. "We want to get each other better. I'm just going to get on the bus here and text Thor to let him know."
From there, the lead changed five times.
At 220 pounds, Jack McAllister earned a 7-2 decision against Luke Dougherty, and Cole Fuller pinned Will McGregor to give the Wildcats a 9-6 advantage.
Antonio D'Appolonio took the lead back with a techical fall over Dimitri Reggie.
After Connor Chernesky edged Michael Mirailh-DeVore in a 4-3 decision, Western Wayne freshman Nathan Koch took the momentum back with a pin against Coby Kornfeld.
"He's been in and out of the lineup all season," Terenzio said. "He hasn't wrestled in probably three weeks. He's been practicing hard.
"We brought him up this year because we knew that we would need him at some point, and tonight we needed him."
Scranton Prep's Sammy Segers grabbed the lead back with a decision, but Mitchell Herzog pinned Joe Monahan to give Western Wayne a 21-17 advantage.
"There was no way I was going to let them win if we were down," Herzog said. "I love being in that position. I think it riles me up more.
"I knew I had to get the six (points) because bonus points are everything and our team's been doing very well with that, not giving up bonus points and getting the bonus points."
Western Wayne never relinquished the lead again as Matthew Leslie (145) and Braden McIntosh (152) added pins en route to the win.

This place is a slight step up from your typical hostel, if not so much in terms of facilities and amenities, at least in terms of artistic and cultural cache. Located next to a well-known art gallery (Galeria Jacobo Karpio) this place as well as the neighboring warren of low-rent apartments was once home to a bevy of local and expatriate artists, including Otto Apuy, Diedre Hyde, and Guillermo Conte, as well as other assorted poets, writers and filmmakers. In fact, I spent a month or two on a couch in what was affectionately known as "el barrio" back in 1992, soon after landing in San José. You have your choice of bunk-bed dorm rooms and private rooms with shared baths, as well as private rooms with private bathrooms. Guests have access to a fully functional kitchen.

Today, anyone who wants to read an article or a book can do so quickly. Most can search for reading materials at the click of a mouse or on library/classroom shelves.
But even engaged readers sometimes face information overload. For example, young or beginning readers may have trouble remembering the important elements of a story.
If you're a teacher, you understand this dilemma and likely use multiple resources to help your students understand what they read.
A story map is just one resource that helps young learners with reading comprehension.
How Story Maps Benefit Students
Any teacher knows that no two students are exactly alike in their learning styles, subject preferences, and skill levels.
Because story maps are graphic organizers, they allow students to tap into visual learning and organize multiple literary elements. Here's how they work:
- Teacher introduces simple story concepts (e.g., characters, setting, plot and/or problems to be solved).
- Teacher gives each student a blank story map.
- Students look for story concepts/elements and write them in the blank spaces on the map.
- Students discuss their responses with the teacher.
So, exactly how do story maps benefit students?
- Organization - Students can organize information into smaller categories.
- Summaries - Listing important elements helps students summarize the story.
- Main Theme - Main themes are easier to spot in a passage or an entire story.
- Writing - Students build writing skills and mental organization skills.
- Broad Use - Story maps work well for both fictional stories and non-fiction articles.
- Learning Styles - Story maps reinforce kinesthetic, visual, and even auditory learning styles (if reading aloud).
Which Story Map Should I Use?
Depending on your students' needs and reading levels, you may want to start with the basics via Imagine Learning's free printable story map.
If you teach older students, feel free to add other elements, such as major and minor characters, historical period, the moral of the story, and other key points.
Older students may also enjoy creating their own story map. Offer several ideas for templates they might use, and then set them free to create!

Disney Announces Star Wars Force Friday II
After the massive success in 2015 with the first "Force Friday," the big merchandising release for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," Disney has — unsurprisingly –planned a sequel, an Episode II, if you will.
"Force Friday II" will arrive Sept. 1, bringing with it tons of merchandise (and thus hints and teases) for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
RELATED: Finn's Role in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" Revealed?
"The first 'Star Wars' Force Friday event was truly unique, uniting fans across five continents in an unprecedented global live unboxing event ahead of thousands of midnight openings at retail," Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media, said in a statement. "We're excited to confirm that 'Star Wars' Force Friday is back for 'The Last Jedi.' Plans for this year's worldwide event are top secret, but expect something befitting the excitement around the next episode of the 'Star Wars' saga."
"Star Wars" has always been inextricably linked to toys, with franchise creator George Lucas famously financing "The Phantom Menace" through exclusive deals before the film was even made. In 2016 U.S. consumers spent about $760 million on "Star Wars" toys, more than in 2015, making the franchise the top-selling property in the world. "Star Wars" toys increased industry growth last year by 5 percent, lifting retail sales to $20.4 billion.
RELATED: "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" Toy Packaging Gives First Look at Film's Heroes
Announcements of new "Star Wars" merchandise will be made this weekend at Toy Fair New York, which will also include toys tied to Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Thor: Ragnarok," Warner Bros.' "Wonder Woman," "Justice League" and "The LEGO Batman Movie," Legendary Pictures' "Kong: Skull Island," Paramount and Hasbro's "Transformers: The Last Knight," and more.
Still, "Star Wars" will likely be the big draw. After the first Force Friday events fans obsessively pored over every detail, searching for clues to the plot to "The Force Awakens" in the descriptions of LEGO sets and the pages of coloring books. Some even purchased talking figures to piece together dialogue from the film.
Directed by Rian Johnson, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" features returning cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis. They're joined by such franchise newcomers as Benicio del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran. The film opens Dec. 15.

Have you not been reading the leaked emails?
This isn't solely the GOP. This is wikileaks, anonymous, the FBI, and other people in the government and intelligence community.
I truly would like to understand those that still defend Hillary - I am here with an open mind if someone can at least give a shred of evidence that her emails, her connections, her international bribes, etc - Are only a conspiracy to thwart her.
If someone has made an intelligent thread with such proof, links debunking emails showing they are not authentic, showing that the Clinton Foundation truly is just a good charity, etc... I'll honestly listen to it.
But I'm not holding my breath. I've not seen one logical, well presented thread for her so far - Obviously it wouldn't likely make it to the top page even if it does exist, though, so please show me this thread or evidence if it exists, or explain your continued support, if you don't mind - I have an open mind, I just really am against her for now based on all evidence I can personally see.

Like I said, a lot of the emails were taken completely out of context, better than 90% of them. This would be easier if you can point to the emails that you think prove something, so we can comment specifically on what's got you thinking the case against her is so strong.

Fingers crossed for a cooperative house tomorrow.
I think she's extraordinary.
No one's perfect.
But she's a real hard worker.
She doesn't make excuses or blame others. Or cry about how it's not fair.
She's a pull yourself up by the bootstraps kind of girl.
And she's not afraid to get her hands dirty.
Tomorrow will be an historic day for this country and I couldn't be prouder.

It might be only because i have a strong disliking for Trump but I have started to like Hillary a little and am thinking she might not be so bad. There's a good chance I am wrong but I am going to give her a little benefit of doubt and see how she does as president. Do you guys think there is any chance she is not so bad and if not how can you or any of us know when any information we have to base our opinions is likely to be biased.

Ever since we are born, we are being told that nobody is perfect. And so we grow up, thinking that perfection does not exist.
And yet…
…two people do not have to be perfect in order to be perfect for each other. For a second or a minute, for months, years or a lifetime. Still, perfect for each other.
And there are so many other perfect things!
The perfect morning, with the perfect coffee smell.
The perfect smile for celebrating the joy of the perfect memory.
The perfect music for the perfect dinner.
The perfect wine for the perfect conversation.
The perfect outfit for the perfect evening.
The perfect emotions for the perfect lunch break.
The perfect gift for the perfect Christmas.
Perfection exists!
We just have to admit that it sometimes takes us by surprise.
We just have to admit that it sometimes is different than we had imagined.
We just have to admit that it sometimes brings us a bit closer to what we want to be.
For it is in perfect little things that we can find the lost perfection of our souls.
I wish you a perfect Christmas!
Mine has already started.
With perfect moments, perfect gifts, perfect memories, perfect smiles.
And it goes on.
With perfect moments, perfect gifts, perfect memories, perfect smiles.
Because perfection does exist!
Because these tiny bits of perfection make you feel perfect.

Canada's ad biz bows few new plays for Super Bowl
Even as sponsors like Lay's serve up fresh Super Bowl fare, many advertisers are turning in recycled creative - and two days before the big kickoff, ad spots are yet to be sold out.
It looks like the only way some Canadian viewers are going to see a full game worth of slick, over-produced Super Bowl-exclusive commercial action this Sunday is if they're HD subscribers who have access to the US telecast. But unlike slumping sales, say experts, this can't be called a new recessionary phenomenon.
While numerous Canadian sponsors for Sunday's Canadian Super Bowl broadcast are confirmed and CTV has met its revenue targets, a day before the weekend the network has yet to sell all its ad spots, confirms CTV VP communications, Scott Henderson.
The latest to announce its Super Bowl gameplan, Lay's is launching its 'Simply Made. Simply Good' campaign during Sunday's broadcast. Created by BBDO Toronto, the three new TV spots feature a proud potato farmer who hosts his own television call-in show and speaks passionately about local, 100% Canadian potatoes. The TV campaign extends after the game, and branches into radio on Feb. 2. Also on the roster is South Korean car manufacturer Kia, which is airing its mysterious 15-second teasers for its new Soul vehicle; Coke, which is carrying on with the Olympic torch ads unveiled earlier this month; and Subway, which will be also be running recycled creative.
'All our clients who grab spots in the Super Bowl actually have not produced special creative, unless of course you are a major sponsor,' Florence Ng, VP broadcast and investments, ZenithOptimedia tells MiC. 'All those Super Bowl-related commercials, most of them are done in the States, I would think.'
Meanwhile, for the first time, Quebecor Media's Videotron, which has 876,700 Illico digital TV subscribers in Québec, announced it will be relaying NBC's broadcast with US commercials uncut during the big game. CRTC rules that simultaneous substitution only applies when the quality of the broadcast is equal to or better than the US.
According to Playback Daily, last month the CRTC ruled against Bell ExpressVu for ignoring long-standing simultaneous substitution rules and allowing US commercials to air on its domestic feed of the Super Bowl HD telecast last year. This year, both Shaw and Bell ExpressVu will both have to complete the simultaneous substitution of the 2009 Super Bowl game in high-def, with Shaw employing manual override of its equipment, should it fail again.

The Smenovekhovtsy (Russian: Сменовеховцы, IPA: [smʲɪnəˈvʲexəftsɨ]) is the name for a political movement in the Russian émigré community that began shortly after the publication of the magazine Smena Vekh ("Change of Signposts") in Prague in 1921.[1] This publication had taken its name from the Russian philosophical publication Vekhi ("Signposts") published in 1909.
The thoughts published in the "Smena Vekh" periodical told its White émigré readers:
"The Civil War is lost definitely. For a long time Russia has been travelling on its own path, not our path", "Either recognize this Russia, hated by you all, or stay without Russia, because a "third Russia" by your recipes does not and will not exist", "The Soviet regime saved Russia - the Soviet regime is justified, regardless of how weighty the arguments against it are", "The mere fact of its [the Soviet regime's - ed.] enduring existence proves its popular character, and the historical belonging of its dictatorship and harshness".
The ideas in the publication soon evolved into the Smenovekhovstvo movement which promoted the concept of accepting the Soviet regime and the October Revolution as a natural and popular progression of Russia's fate, something which was not to be resisted despite perceived ideological incompatibilities with Leninism. The Smenovekhovstvo admonished its members to return to Russia predicting that the Soviet Union would not last and would give way to a revival of Russian nationalism.[2]
They supported co-operation with the Soviet government in the hope that the Soviet state would evolve back into a "bourgeois state". The cooperation was important for the Soviets, since the whole Russian 'White diaspora' included 3 million people.[3] The leaders of smenovekhovstvo were mostly former Mensheviks, Kadets and some Octobrists. The leader of the group was Nikolay Ustryalov.[4] On March 26, 1922, the first issue of Nakanune (smenovekhovtsy newspaper) was published; Soviet Russia's first successes in foreign policy were praised. Throughout its career, Nakanune was subsidised by the Soviet government. Alexey Tolstoy had become acquainted with the movement in Summer 1921. In April 1922 he published an open letter to émigré leader N.V.Chaikovsky, and defended Soviet government for ensuring Russia's unity and preventing attacks from the neighbouring countries, especially the Polish-Soviet War.[5]
Conservative émigrés such as those in ROVS were opposed to the Smenoveknovstvo movement, viewing it as a promotion of defeatism and moral relativism, as a capitulation to the Bolsheviks, and a desire to seek compromise with the new Soviet regime. Repeatedly, the Smenoveknovtsi were accused of ties with the Soviet OGPU, which had in fact been active in promoting such ideas in the émigré community. Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin commented on the Smenovekhovstvo movement in October 1921, "The Smenovekhovtsy express the moods of thousands of various bourgeois or Soviet collaborators, who are the participants of our New Economic Policy".
There were other émigré organizations which, like the Smenoveknovtsy, argued that Russian émigrés should accept the fact of the Russian revolution. These included the Young Russians (Mladorossi) and the Eurasians (Evraziitsi). As with the Smenovekhovtsy, these movements did not survive after World War II.
In addition, among Ukrainian emigres there was also a movement in favour of reconciliation with the Soviet regime and return to the homeland. This included some of the most prominent pre-revolutionary intellectuals such as Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and Volodymyr Vynnychenko. The Soviet Ukrainian government funded a Ukrainian emigre journal called Nova Hromada to encourage this trend. The Soviets referred to this movement as a Ukrainian Smena Vekh, as did its opponents among the Ukrainian emigres, who saw it as a defeatist expression of Little Russian Russophilia. For this reason, the actual proponents of the trend denied that they were Smenovekhovtsy.[6]

Chapter 1
Hi I'm Alexander O'connelly but I go back Alex. And I'm a vampire. And this is My story of....well just read it and you will understand. Have fun.
I am one of ten vampires in my family. There's Aaron and Katie our parents. Aaron's the one who turned us. There's my older sister...well twin kinda. Beth...she turned before me. and her fiance Chase. Then there's my little sister Manda and her husband Benjamin. Then my little brother Kevin and his wife Patti. Then last couple is Andi and Zane.Andi joined our family after she turned her boyfriend Zane. Plus her and Beth get along so well you would think they were related by blood. But any way let's begin.
"Come on Alex make a move." I sigh "Beth why do I have to I'm just gonna lose anyway." She pouts and says "Fine." She get's up and goes to sit by Andi who is watching Chase and Zane playing a raceing game. I go over to stare out the window then I jump as Andi screams "Ok, It's my turn." Zane screams back "No way." I turn to see Zane and Andi fighting over the controller. I look at Chase and see he's looking at Beth who has a amused look on her face. And even though Chase is stronger then Beth he is scared of her...well more of her temper. I look at the fighting couple as they role on the floor and I say " Stop acting like two kids." They both look at me and Beth says "Are you ok Alex?" I look at Beth. "Yea I'm fine." I give her a smile before I go outside. I look out behind the house before I sit on the ground to think.
A few hours pass and I hear a thud at the door. "Alright Andi alright. We will go talk to him." I see Zane and Chase walking towards and Zane rubbing his back. I smile "It's kinda bad that you two are strong vampires and your scared of your wife or fiance." They smile "Beth and Andi want to know what's wrong." Chase sits on my right. I smile "Nothing, I just..." I shake my head.Chase sighs "can you just give us something so they won't kill us." I laugh "Yea." I help them out and they go back inside. As I go to my car. And think I really need a drive.
I go by a park and smile then turn down a road before I stop in front of a coffee shop. I go inside and sit at one of the tables. I look around and see one of the girls from school talking to the new girl who had just started yesterday. If I remember right her name was Donna. Donna Owens. She's about 5'6 with long brown hair and she also has brown eyes. And the most unusual scent I've ever smelled. It's mostly a perfume called Chance(Beth has it.) with soap and pine needles. I look up to see the waitress looking at me. I smile "I'll have a apple and a iced coffee please." She smiles and looks like she's about to faint as she walks off. That's when I hear Donna ask "Who's that over there Amber?" I see Amber turn to look at me and I just look out the window. "Oh him, that's Alex O'connelly. He has eight other siblings, actually the table I showed you yesterday was there's." "Oh, well he's pretty nice looking." "Don't bother, you will only be wasteing your time." I see Donna look down at her plate and Amber sighs "What I meant Donna was he thinks he is better then everyone else." "Oh, Ok." I smile then say "Thank you." to the waitress when she brings me my order. She walks off and I leave a tip before I go to the counter to pay for it.
I see Donna looking at me out of the corner of my eye. I smile and see her blush and look down. I shake my head and take my change. I smile at their table and wave before I walk out the door and think this is gonna be alot of fun.
I get back to the house and shut the car off. I sigh and look at the bag I got for Beth and Andi." This should keep them busy for awhile." I go inside "Hey Kyle, where's Beth and Andi?" He smiles "They went out to hunt. Chase and Zane are still playing that game." I smile and go into the family room and Kyle was right. They are still playing that game. I sigh "You guys have to be tired. You are still playing that game." Zane looks at me and says "Alex, we just got back on. The girls took it from us shortly after you left." I smile "It's sad your scared of two girls." "Who's not scared of Andi and Beth?" Chase turns to say "You are right there dude." I smile and shake my head as I walk into the back yard. And stop when I catch a new scent.

Visitor's Guide
A Thumbnail Sketch of Burghfield
The Parish of Burghfield consists of three separate areas: Burghfield Common; Burghfield Village and Burghfield Bridge. It has been inhabited since Roman times and has a rural and farming history. The population in 1961 was 2323, whilst the figure for 2001 was stated to be 5,894.
Burghfield developed slowly during the late 19th century and without much pace until the 1980's. The rate of development changed quite rapidly with the construction of the M4 motorway and gravel extraction became a major industry. The landscape changed from a farming outlook to a much busier dormitory environment that includes the Kennet Valley Canal and lakes with leisure activities for sailing and water skiing.
From Burghfield Bridge towards Burghfield Village and up the hill towards Burghfield Common is the heart of the area of rolling partly wooded countryside, which is a major attraction to the parishioners.
Burghfield Village remains mostly unchanged and retains much of the original character, especially in the thatched Old School House and the Six Bells and Hatch Gate. There is a recreation ground and large area of allotments; this area includes the church of St. Mary's and a junior school of the same name.
Burghfield Common, situated at the top of the hill, has witnessed recent quality housing development and includes the shops and the other three recreation grounds. There are three schools within this area and the Village Hall, which is administered through the Parish Council.

He has built a hugely successful company that has been recognized as one of the best places to work in Nashville. This practical guide is for anyone wanting to get ahead in business.
5. Site of the Week: Clean Eating Veggie Girl: Hannah is a good friend of Joanna and I's and has a fantastic blog called Clean Eating Veggie Girl. She shares her journey of cooking, dining, and living life in her mostly plant-based world. I am blown away by how many creative recipes she has come up with!
I had the pleasure of working on her site and love how it turned out. She has a three column layout and uses a theme called Thesis. I like using Thesis for clients because of its amazing versatility, you can literally craft anything you want with this theme and it'll work on any device. There is a steep learning curve when you first start using it, but once you get past that the sky is the limit!

"As long as I'm in business you'll be the only company to build my trucks. Thank you again for making my business successful with your knowledge and talent."
"The truck looks beautiful, it just came out great! You can't get this kind of work anywhere. It is beautiful!"
