As I approach the end of my intensive five years training in medical school, I'm greatly indebted, first, to my parents who have imparted to me the love of learning; my lecturers, doctors and professors for their abiding commitment to teaching – an inspiring example.
Lastly, to my friends who have taken interest, pride and being the living expression of courage to activities of their little brother. I'm grateful for your supervision, mentorship and friendship during my time at Muhimbili University, School of Medicine. Both had an immense impact on my personal and academic evolution and for that I offer my heartfelt thanks.
Having said that, I've not forgotten the late medical students, nurses and doctors who were once living people, struggling to cope with issues that continue to haunt the contemporary society. I therefore offer this article as a humble tribute to the trials and tribulations they endured. May their infectious enthusiasm and dedication to save patients' lives continue to inspire many sincere vocations of health workers.
However, at the very outset, I've a deep feeling on something that if I wouldn't address it now, then, our moral obligation towards the future is obsolete. In 2012, just like each year, when a new wave of enthusiastic medical students flood our medical school, my classmates and I were put into a question of "why you want to be doctors" during the white coat ceremony, a day when warts of medicine become more conspicuous to new batches of high school graduates. With the mushrooming number of medical schools, part of me wondered whether this was completely a call! How many of us wanted to go into medicine before they even stopped wetting the bed? I understand the paradigm shift in career pathways after graduating high school and I've heard it all the time from some of my colleagues in senior rotations that, they would never choose medicine if they had to do it all over again. To this point, I can't deny that probably to some, the thought of giving up clinical practice has crossed our minds. It's practically reasonable, with a fine implication that possibly there is something which the current generation of doctors unlike the former, experience in a more exorbitant manner.
For those reading this from Cuba, a country with one of the best healthcare systems in the world might not understand well. I'm writing from Sub-Saharan Africa, the emblem of tolerance, well known for surviving fearsome torments, political unrest, ignorance, poverty and deadliest pandemics in history. Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV still carry a human image with thousands of its inhabitants who have no luxury of being attended to by physicians left disabled by the phantoms of filariasis and trypanosomiasis etc.
In Tanzania where I live, there are only two doctors for every fifty thousand patients, most of whom reside in the urban area; the paradise worth their awful years in medical schools. While the demand reaches the sky, the government trains more but surprisingly employs less.
Doctors' unemployment has risen steeply in Kenya too, the neighbouring country and this complete disconnect between the life of medicine as we saw it and the real life we envisioned for ourselves alerts us on the light bulb that just went off.
The first two years of medical school consist of mostly basic sciences, which mean loads of memorization. The remaining three years consist of clinical rotations when medical students are expected to regurgitate what they swallow from books. This partly explains doctors' lack of imagination in the business world and in my view; it makes no sense teaching health economics and management at postgraduate level. Our curriculum needs revision to incorporate elementary entrepreneurship skills in medical schools at the undergraduate level.
Extending loans to the already debt burdened graduates with a shallow business mindset would be of no help however soft they are.
In the mid of that we should understand, setting up a private health facility takes lots of capital. The Apollo Hospital wasn't built in a day. One really needs to be "The White Coat Investor" as Dr. James M. Dahle insists in his book, Doctor's guide to personal finance and investing. Along that, the government should lessen an overwhelmed bureaucratic procedures required to start and run a healthcare business. We've recently watched the slow death of private medical practice, but through this more doctors will get employed.
Meanwhile, the miniature access to funds by newly graduated doctors from monetary institutions such as banks, poses another challenge. Yet, in a country like Tanzania, the government employs only half of the graduates. This means the remaining half, leaving behind plenty of clinical officers are on the streets, begging for jobs in scarce private hospitals. These are doctors deprived of a chance to practice outside the country and I think the preaching of regional integration and free market economy in the East Africa block should come into play to open up more employment opportunities in the health sector. Let's not beat around the bush, who wouldn't want a high paying job? Despite helping humanity fight diseases; most of us became doctors because of that also!
An awe-inspiring sense of exploring the human body comes with a price tag of hard work and sacrifice, spending nights largely awake and caffeinated to an almost toxic degree, with our noses pressed into books. This is certainly not the way most people spend their twenties. After which we're expected to spend the rest of our lives in hospitals doing a whole lot of work for little money leaving our families wondering where we are; why we are still there and when if ever we'll return home.
I rationally doubt if the government cares about improving doctor/patient ratio. If so, then salaries and doctors' working conditions wouldn't be part of my conversation. There is also a strong need for doctors to come together despite their specialties and build more active and functioning intellectual associations with effective projects and activities that address the needs of young doctors to have future productive citizens.
With all this in mind, another part of me wonders why would one still choose medicine? When heading to exams it's just the patient and I. After a while, safely barricaded by examiners in the middle listening to my clerkship, the moment when the power of human connection becomes palpable. Helping patients through difficult illnesses, being trusted to give advice, figuring out and assuring patients that there is nothing serious with their conditions; these things never grow old in doctors. If they had it to do all over again, they'd end up in the wards telling patients there is nothing else they'd rather be doing than saving them.

Read the top real estate & finance news, interiors & lifestyle ideas, how-to guides
Not all real estate agents are successful. In fact only 20 percent of the real estate agents turn out to be successful in their career. Following are some tips, which may assist you in enhancing your career as a real estate agent:
It is important for real estate agents to have enough sales experience in the local area. Whereas the agents who are new in that area or have not sold any houses before, will be considered beginners. If you think you have enough know how of the local town only then you can expect sellers to pick you as their property dealer.
Continuous education should be considered one of the top priorities to be successful as a real estate agent. Effective real estate agents keep up with market trends and issues, which could affect clients.
People usually looking for agents that are tenacious. Therefore, to become an unbeaten real estate agent, it is imperative that you are persistent, follow up quickly after property is displayed for sale; you should work real hard and shouldn't give up.
The quality of a good real estate agent is reflected from his communication skills. Real estate agents must poses fine communication skills so as to promote themselves to the sellers in the market, communicate information to them without any ambiguities and convince them to keep coming back.
Agents that are skilled and use technology seamlessly are definitely more up-to-date about the market trends in a particular area. They are more likely to be organized and there are more chances of people becoming their clients to get help in selling their properties.
Success can only embrace you, if you are the Realtor who appears to be tireless. You should work for your clients with such dedication as if it was the most important thing in your life.
It very difficult to please the clients and sell their properties successfully, unless and until the real estate agent is capable enough to pay heed to each and every detail. This is especially true in a hard-to-sell market. Great agents know even the subtle changes sellers can make to pick up the sales' chance of their property. For example tax laws, infrastructure development and zoning rules change quite often. The best real estate agents stay updated and well trained through ongoing training at real estate academies, regional associations and colleges. In addition to that, these agents are very organized and return client calls promptly and make every appointment on time.
Real agents should not only be honest to their clients but their job as well. It is very important for the agents to display good qualities in their behavior so as to win the trust of people and convert them to loyal clients. The successful real estate agents should try to lay out exactly what the clients expect, from sale price to timing and more.
To be successful, real estate agents should already have a prospective buyers list in their hands. They must also have connections with realtors in case they are willing to work with them, so as to sell the property faster.

Queensland renewable energy jobs double in four months
The number of jobs in Queensland's renewable energy industry has almost doubled in four months, a new report reveals.
The latest Renewable Energy Index by Green Energy Markets showed there were 7194 renewable energy construction jobs in Queensland in October.
That was up from 3634 at the end of June, the report – paid for by GetUp – showed.
Projects included phase one of the Kennedy wind, solar and battery park in north Queensland and the Emerald Solar Farm.
The Kennedy project would include a 1200-megawatt renewable-energy power station, which would be the largest renewables generator in Australia, and the biggest combined wind-and-solar facility in the world.
Small-scale solar was also booming, with 15,736 systems, representing more than 100 megawatts of rooftop solar capacity, installed across the country in October.
In Queensland, 3960 rooftop solar systems were installed last month, supporting 1347 full-time jobs, and which were estimated to reduce family power bills by $49 million over the next decade.
Renewables made up one-fifth of the electricity generated in Australia's main grids.
GetUp environmental justice director Miriam Lyons said high power prices were pushing more people to solar.
Ms Lyons took aim at the LNP's plan to scrap Labor's 50 per cent renewable energy target, reducing it to the National Energy Renewable target of 23 per cent.
She said it put the industry at risk.
"Queensland has 300 sunny days a year. It needs a government that's willing to embrace this abundant natural resource and drive the transition to cheaper, clean energy for all," she said.
The LNP supports a new high-efficiency coal-fired power station in north Queensland, which it said would help deliver more supply and cheaper electricity.
Labor has committed more than $150 million to expand renewable energy in Queensland, including solar panels for schools and a solar thermal power plant.
LNP leader Tim Nicholls described Labor's policy as "more money for renewables that are going to cost jobs in regional Queensland" and said baseload power was more reliable.

China hits pain barrier on road to prosperity
HONG KONG– For nearly 40 years, China's Communists have been relaxing their grip on the economy to make people richer.
The endgame, former leader Deng Xiaoping said in 1987, was to achieve "a medium standard of living." That ambitious goal is now within reach — China will be "moderately prosperous" by 2020, says President Xi Jinping.
But the last mile of this ultra marathon could be the hardest. Growth is the slowest it has been in 25 years, debt levels are exploding, environmental degradation is widespread and income inequality is rising.
"Now is the most painful period" for the Chinese economy, Alibaba founder Jack Ma said at the weekend.
Millions of Chinese workers are losing their jobs as heavy industry declines, and China faces a huge bill to soften the blow of its move away from manufacturing toward services and consumption.
There have been plenty of winners in China's rise to the world's second biggest economy, from billionaire entrepreneurs to the millions who have been lifted out of poverty and now own Western, and Chinese, gadgets.
But the transition to an economic model that relies on technology and innovation, rather than the old playbook of state investment and exports, means many others are now losing out.
The sprawling, state owned enterprises that dominate Chinese industry, are the first target. Their losses are an enormous drain on the country's finances. The steel industry, which employs about 3.8 million people, is operating at 67% capacity; to be profitable that rate needs to be near 85%.
Chronic overcapacity exists in many other sectors like coal, cement, other metals and glass. With slowing growth in China, and around the world, there's no easy fix.
The Chinese government says 1.8 million jobs will be cut in the steel and coal sectors alone. That's nowhere near enough, say economists at Societe Generale.
They estimate the capacity reductions so far announced are only 10% of what is needed across the whole industrial sector. And that means millions more jobs are likely to go.
The government has earmarked about $15 billion for restructuring costs and to help those losing their jobs find work. That could turn out to be a drop in the ocean.
The impact of the downsizing can be seen in China's rust belt — after driving economic growth for a decade, it's now the weakest part of the country. Liaoning, a northeastern province, grew by 3% last year, less than half the national rate.
In Benxi, a steel town in the province, some are out of work and others face 50% pay cuts. There is an attitude of grim acceptance, but also anger that the government is not doing more to help. Many expect things to get worse.
Will Beijing keep cutting jobs? Does it have the stomach for more short term pain, in exchange for more sustainable growth in the long term?
Many analysts say the economic landscape is fragile. And Premier Li Keqiang has acknowledged that this year will be crucial for carrying out structural reforms.
But sweeping restructuring in industries employing millions is fraught with the risk of social unrest — a red line that the Communist Party may not want to cross.

Green propaganda can be dangerous
Via Barry Woods comes this story from Sail-World.com. It seems that a number of yachts have been attempting the North West Passage, no doubt some of them with a view to "raising awareness of global warming", but have come unstuck as this year's melt has been much smaller than expected freeze has come early.
The Northwest Passage after decades of so-called global warming has a dramatic 60% more Arctic ice this year than at the same time last year. The future dreams of dozens of adventurous sailors are now threatened. A scattering of yachts attempting the legendary Passage are caught by the ice, which has now become blocked at both ends and the transit season may be ending early.
Apparently there is a cruise ship which may be in need of assistance too. Disturbingly, nobody seems to be quite sure if there is an icebreaker in the vicinity.
Blimey. Apparently there's a bunch of jet skiers out there too.
An expedition to row across the North-West Passage has been abandoned.

Yesterday afternoon I picked Noah up from pre school. He was lying down when I arrived and the carers told me that he had been feeling a bit under the weather.
He seemed to perk up and happily started to walk back to the car with me. As we had just gone through the gate to the car park the most unexpected thing happened…
Noah projectile vomited about 4 times.
There was a huge pile of vegetables and beans on the car park, he had clearly not digested his dinner at all!
Poor Noah. He has never been sick and he clearly didn't have a clue what was happening to him. He looked amazed as vast amounts of food reappeared through his mouth.
To be honest I was just as shocked. I had no idea he was feeling that poorly.
So we drove home slowly with a blanket ready to catch any more sick and I got him in the bath and cosy on the sofa with a bowl (just in case).
He ate plain breadsticks for tea when he got hungry and he rehydrated with water.
It struck me how calmly he dealt with it all. I haven't been sick for ages but I remember the last time I was it completely stressed me out and made me cry.
So why the difference?
I think it is all to do with expectation. Noah had no idea what to expect so he just coped with it as it happened.
Previous experience would fill my mind with fear if I felt that sick. The memories of previous experiences would make me tense and then the whole experience would be much worse. Thankfully this was not so for Noah because he had no idea about what would happen.
Because he did not anticipate the situation he was not anxious and the whole experience passed extremely smoothly. There were no tears and very little drama.
Mindfulness is a great way to be present in the moment rather than predicting disaster. When we are present in the moment we avoid anxiety and we tend to be more relaxed and in control of situation.
Come on a Revitalise Session to see how a calm approach to life makes things so much better. Anxiety and distress really can be reduced with a Mindful approach.

I do not understand about the meaning of the word RISK.
I have read words like "take the risk, if you win, you will be happy, if you lose you will be wise" hmm..
I realize that it is not in my current job, I always repeat the words; "RISK".
I always tell my clients that in this life we will be dealing with "uncertainty". Something that we can not predict, unpredictable, out of our calculations, beyond our ability.
It is become my habit, if there is something interesting and to my mind, I always wanted to know what the "experts" say about the meaning of the word risk.
An outline of risk means a result or consequence that may occur due to an ongoing process or event to come. In insurance terms, risk can be defined as a situation of uncertainty, in which case an undesirable situation can cause a loss. (wikipedia.com)
So, the risk is something negative? is it true ?
I'm more comfortable and tend to agree with the terms in the fields of insurance risk, that risk is an "uncertainty". It could be a positive direction or negative direction.
It seems better able to close my statement above, that take the risk if you win you will be happy, if you lose you will be wise.
That is something we must always remember, and always be the grip of our lives, as a religion, that;
1. Lines of our life has been written.
"And to Him are the keys of the unseen; no one knows except Himself, and He knows what is on land and at sea, and not a leaf but He knows that fall (again), and not a seed fall was in the dark earth, and not something that is wet or dry, but written in a clear (Lawh Mahfuz). "(Surat al-An'am, 6: 59).
2. There is no 'accident' in life.
"We are not in a situation and do not read a verse from the Quran and you do not do any action without Our witnessing you do it on you at the time. No escape from your Lord, even as knowledge of zarrah (atom) in the earth or in heaven. No one is smaller and not (also) is larger than that, but (all recorded) in a Clear Book (Lawh Mahfuz). "(Qur'an, 10: 61).
Do you not know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and the earth?; That in this there was a book (Lawh Mahfuz). Truly that is very easy for Allah. "(Surah Al-Hajj [22]: 70)
3. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim explained: "Islam is a mercy for every human being, but the faithful to receive this grace and benefit of the world and the Hereafter. While rejecting the unbelievers ".
So, how should we behave?
We have to always use our minds to think about the meaning of the creation of man and what it means.
Allah says in the Qu'ran: "Did you suppose, that the fact we had created you in play (only), and that you will not be returned to Us?
(QS Al-Mukminun paragraph 115)
In another letter, Allah says:. " And they think about the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying):" Our Lord, You have not created this in vain, Glory to Thee, And save us from the torment of hell. "(Surah Al-Imran verse 191),
Also in verse: "and are not we create sky and earth and everything in between both of them playing". (Surat Anbiya 'paragraph 16)
The above statement is very clear, that man and the whole universe, not in creating the mess and waste.
We are concerned that we as humans have many disadvantages mentioned were:
1. Man was WEAK
"God wanted to give relief to you and used as human nature is weak" (Surah Annisa: 28)
2. It's easy to fall for a human
"O man, what has deceived you (disobedience) of your Lord the Merciful" (Surah Al-Infithar: 6)
3. Man was negligent
"Glory, splendor have been neglecting you" (Surah At-takaatsur 1)
4. Man is cowardly / Easy WORRY
"Be sure we shall test thee give, with little fear, hunger, lack of wealth, lives and fruits. And give glad tidings to those who wait. "(Surah Al-Baqarah 155)
4. Man grieves
"Surely the believers, Jews, the Christians and the people Shabiin, anyone among them who really believe in Allah and the Last Day and work righteousness, they will receive their reward from God, no concern to them, and not (also) they grieve "(Surah Al Baqarah: 62)
6. Man in a hurry
And pray for the evil man as he prayed for good. And human nature is in a hurry. (Al-Isra '11)
7. Man LIKE REFUTES
"He has created man's sperm, he suddenly became a real contender." (Surat an-Nahl 4)
8. Men's overcommitment LIKE
"And when the man he replaced danger We pray to the state of lying, sitting or standing, but after we remove the danger thereof, he (again) through (a perverted way), as if he never prayed to us to (remove) hazards that have happened to him. That the people who looked well beyond what they were doing. "(Surah Yunus: 12)
"Behold! Surely man is really beyond the limits "(Surat al-Alaq: 6)
9. Man was forgetful
"And if the man is overwritten harm, he begged (aid) to God by turning to Him, then when God gave His blessings to him forgot that he would never harm him pray (to God) to (remove) before it, and he forges allies for God to mislead (men) from His way. Say: "Have fun with disbelief that the time: behold thou art of the Fire." (Surah Az-Zumar:
10. Man laments LIKE
"If he had he lamented distress" (Surah Al Ma'arij: 20)
"Man does not weary of asking good, and if they are overwritten doom him to hopeless despair again." (Surah Al-Fushshilat: 20)
"And when We gave pleasure to the man he undoubtedly turn, and turn one's back with a cocky attitude, and his distress when he inevitably falls into despair" (al-Isra '83)
11. Man is stingy
"Say:" Then if you master the vocabulary of my Lord-the treasury of grace, He treasures you hold it, for fear of spending. "And the man was very stingy." (Surat al-Isra ': 100)
12. Man LIKE deny favors
And they make a party of his servants as his portion instead. Behold, the man really that was real (toward the grace of God). (Az-Zukhruf Q.S.: 15)
The real man is broken, do not thank the Lord, (Surat al-'Aadiyaat: 6)
13.Man is DZALIM and STUPID
"We have indeed the Trust [1233] to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, but they refused to undertake it, being afraid, and that the mandate is burdened by humans. Behold, the man is very unjust and very stupid, "(Surat al-Ahzab: 72)
14. The man obeyed his prejudice
"And most of them do not follow but conjecture only. Surely it is not the slightest inkling useful to reach the truth. Surely Allah is Aware of what they do. "(Surah Yunus 36)
15. Man LIKES daydream
"People were calling them hypocrites (the believers) and say:" Were we not with you? "They replied:" Yes, but ye led yourselves and wait (to our ruin) and you are in doubt and deceived by the empty dream that came to the ordinance of God: and you have been deceived for God by (Satan) is very imposter. "(Surat al-Hadid 72)
What should I deny, this is the actual reality of human frailty. In my prayers, I ask Allah to protect me from things that I do not know, protect me from my weakness due to my ignorance. Allah is the best protector. We as humans should never despair of Allah's mercy. Allah really knows our weaknesses. Then, holding the rope stronger than Allah. God's omniscience. Keep the way of Allah, always hoping and pleading to God. Life choices are not fixated on the sadness and happiness, but the choice between staying in the way of Allah or leave the path of Allah. God is giving forgiveness, grace beyond His anger.
So, whatever the risks that occur in each of our life choices, as long as we remain in the way of Allah. Then the blessings of life, God's grace always accompany our steps. In Sha Allah.

Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don't see it yourself
I'm not sure what it is, but I have this strange love for flags....I love implementing them into my photography at times. I had this idea the other day, so found some scraps and made this flag seen in these photos.
I saw this photo a while back, of a young man holding a large piece of material, standing in a field. I really thought the photo was cool, but I wanted to think of my own thing. I have a field across the street from my house, and what about using some type of flag!! I also had different ideas and shots I was looking for, with this specific session.
With using an off camera flash as well and some natural light, I wanted to get a darker, moody effect as well, which I believe I accomplished in these shots,
Of course I wanted to use my water sprayed plastic effect as well. This is the first time I've used it outdoors. I usually use this for more headshot but not full body shots. I wanted to experiment with using it outside and with the full subject as well. This was my favorite using the plastic!

GAIL inks deal with Shipping Corporation to transport LNG from US
State-run GAIL India Ltd has inked an agreement with national flag carrier, Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) for transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US.
As per the terms of agreement, SCI will help the country's gas utility giant in the charter hiring of LNG ships to transport 5.8 million tons per year of LNG from Sabine Pass and Cove Point terminals in the US.
On the other hand, GAIL will assign step-in right to SCI in the ownership of LNG ships, the company said in a statement.
Commenting on the development, GAIL, Chairman and Managing Director, B C Tripathi said that LNG has become the company's important business vertical and the experience of SCI in the shipping business is likely to bring significant synergetic advantage for both the companies.
"We expect that this partnership will enable faster development of in-house fleet operations capabilities for the company," Tripathi stated.

Welcome to Albanian College!
Welcome from the Director of Albanian College Tirana Embodying the Albanian College vision to transform education in Albania and our mission to create a positive, holistic, inquiry-based learning environment empowering Albanian College students to be internationally-minded citizens of the world, Albanian College Tirana provides academically rigourous, intellectually stimulating instruction at all levels. To further these aims, approaches to learning are cultivated with emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving skills all while striving to develop the ten IB learner profile attributes.
To meet the needs of Albanian College Tirana students, we offer a strong English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme. Our students rapidly become comfortable speaking, writing, and socialising in English while putting great conditions of worth on Albanian language learning and offering French and Mandarin as further additional languages.
This school year, Albanian College Tirana will honour its first graduating class, begin its first cohort in the esteemed International Baccalaureate Diploma programme, and complete the MYP and PYP authorisation processes. With dynamic, differentiated teaching and inquiry-based learning at the helm, we are confident that our vision will be achieved: Albanian College students will be intelligent, creative, compassionate and forthright, take full ownership of their learning, and become the leaders of tomorrow.
The philosopher Plato, student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle, was the founder of the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. As his quote demonstrates, Plato was centuries ahead of his time on inquiry-based, holistic, differentiated education. Plato said, "Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each."
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Albanian College Tirana. I am truly proud to be an educational leader of the school.

The next day in Coffs Harbour was nice and warm as well, which meant another trip to the beach.
I got up early for sunrise and headed down to Charlesworth Bay to see what was going on. Another clear start to the day, not a cloud in the sky.
We headed off to the beach a bit later once things had warmed up. It was relaxing watching the waves and enjoying the sun.
I had to go out again later to check out the night sky again. Living in Sydney we don't get to see anything like this.

Science per Forms was a study on nonhuman or cybernetic dance. The ideas of dance by both human and nonhuman, communication in motion, and the polemics of Donna Haraway were discussed by crew and artists. Among human performers, robot vision and projected geometries, mechatronic arms were also charged with the expression of dance - a movement in sound and time to evoke emotion and empathy in the viewer. Bespoke wearables were also designed to translate human movement into real-time digital data.

This lane change software sets on top of the reusable platform software in the TFHRC's CARMA fleet of Cadillac SRXs. It provides algorithmic control for the connected vehicles performing a lane merge maneuver using DSRC v2v communications. It also provides the driver-vehicle interface (DVI) that allows the driver of each vehicle to choose that vehicle's role in the experiment, to set the operating speed of the experiment (lead vehicle), and to display status of the experiment's progress by way of status flags in received BSMs. The DVI software also handles data communication to/from the vehicle's Pinpoint position system and the OBU DSRC radio.
The software is built in two parts:
* the control software is written in Simulink and runs on the vehicle's MicroAutobox II
* the DVI software is written in Java and runs on the vehicle's secondary computer, which is an Ubuntu Linux PC.

Cultural and Practical Barriers to Epilepsy Care in Uganda (2018-2019)
While epilepsy affects over 50 million people globally, three of four people in low-resource countries do not get care for this treatable condition. In Uganda, stigma is pervasive: one in five people believes epilepsy is contagious, and there are strong beliefs in supernatural or witchcraft-based causes, treatments and even inoculation.
In 2017-18, a Bass Connections project team began work to identify, predict and address the barriers to epilepsy care in Uganda. The team implemented a mixed-methods design to collect data examining cultural and practical barriers to reaching biomedical care. Team members designed a quantitative survey to examine the predictors of care patterns and delays, and collected focus group and interview data among all epilepsy stakeholder groups, including patients and families, traditional healers, pastoral healers, neurologists and psychiatrists.
The objective for the 2018-19 Bass Connections project team is to address the question, Given that we now know potent predictors of care-seeking behavior, how will we systematically address the barriers to epilepsy care in Uganda through well designed, culturally relevant and sensitive interventions?
Project Description
This Bass Connections project team will design a multipronged intervention program with the goal of impacting the epilepsy treatment gap in Uganda. This work will occur as Duke Global Neurosurgery and Neuroscience (DGNN) continues to build the biomedical care training and access infrastructure.
The team will utilize numerous sources of data and models, including:
- Bass Connections Phase I barriers data (qualitative and modeled barriers)
- Models of epilepsy awareness program utilized in East Africa
- Community education programs for infectious disease and maternal-fetal medicine
- Models of traditional healer and biomedical care partnerships (e.g., for HIV)
- Previous research pilots in Kilifi, Kenya
The intervention will include three components: stakeholder education; access to treatment; and traditional and biomedical care partnerships. It will be implemented in a field visit in Uganda at the end of Summer 2018, with impact data collected pre- and post-implementation.
Anticipated Outcomes
Submission of mixed methods paper; submission of papers related to specific predictors; rollout of multipronged intervention program with defined education, access and collaborative components; data for use in student analysis projects and grant submissions; presentations at global health, neurology and/or neuropsychology conferences
Summer 2018 – Summer 2019
- Summer 2018: Preparation: introductory lectures; review of Phase I models and data; development of collaborative partners and targets; begin formulation of interventions based on healthcare pattern drivers
- Fall 2018: Formulation of interventions based on healthcare pattern drivers: delineation of barrier targets and methods (e.g., through public education, Ministry of Health infrastructure, clinical routing); review of projects in DGNN for input and refinement; preparation and submission of IRB at Duke and Makerere
- Spring 2019: Systematic implementation of interventions; initiate post-implementation tracking
- Summer 2019: Complete work begun in spring and spend three weeks in Uganda for fieldwork; disseminate results (DGNN meeting; Duke Neuroscience and Psychiatry grand rounds; submission of papers for presentation at Consortium of Universities for Global Health, American Academy of Neurology annual conference, American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology and/or International Neuropsychology Society annual meetings)

Fall Skin Care Tips
Summer is almost over and fall is arriving. Gone are the days of unbearable heat, excessive sunscreen application and saltwater hair. It is time to switch out the light moisturizers and SPF100 for a more hydrating skincare routine this fall. As the temperatures drop our skin begins to lose the moisture it maintained throughout the summer. As a result, it can become dry and irritated. Therefore, your fall skincare regimen should focus on both exfoliation and hydration. Incorporating these two daily activities will allow your skin to repair itself and survive even the chilliest temperatures.
Avoid a Soap-Based Cleanser
As wonderful as soaps may smell, they will dry the skin out. Instead, use a cleanser that is soap-free and gel or cream-based. Soap-based cleansers tend to wash away all oil with water, including the oils that are good for our face.
If your face tends to be extra dry in colder temperatures, try out a cleansing oil. Cleansing oils may sound scary, but in reality, they use the good oils in your skin to remove the bad ones. After they are massaged into the skin, cleansing oils bind to dirt, oil and impurities. They are then rinsed away and you are left with clean, moisturized and soft skin.
Exfoliation is Key
Exfoliation should be a part of your skincare routine year-round. However, its significance is even greater during the chillier months. After a summer spent in the pool, ocean and sun, your skin may have been left dry and flaky. Solve this problem easily by incorporating a good exfoliator in your weekly routine. If you have sensitive skin, stick to exfoliating two to three times a week. If your skin is not sensitive, feel free to exfoliate every other day.
Exfoliation gently removes the dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, allowing fresh, new ones to emerge. This prevents the clogging of pores, which often leads to acne. It also results in a brighter, clearer complexion. Exfoliating also allows for other products, such as serum and moisturizer, to better penetrate your skin.
Do not be scared to exfoliate your entire body. Using a dry brush every other day before showering works wonders in getting rid of dead skin cells. Start from your feet and work your way up your body.
Never Forget to Moisturize
Once you have cleansed and exfoliated, do not forget to cap it off with a good moisturizer. If your skin is oily, stick with serums or oil-based moisturizers, like coconut or rosehip oil. If you have drier skin, use a thicker moisturizer like a cream. Creams offer a stronger oily barrier, which results in less water loss and more hydration.
Sunscreen, Always
Just because the temperatures are lower and the clouds are out does not mean you can skip the sunscreen. SPF should be applied year-round, no matter the weather. Use an SPF of at least 30 underneath your makeup, after you have cleansed and moisturized. Although many foundations contain SPF, it is better to apply a separate sunscreen beforehand. The amount of sunscreen you need to protect your face is far more than the amount of foundation you use. Apply about a quarter-size amount of SPF to your face every morning.
Fall is a one of the best times of year. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold, the sun is still shining and comforting foods are far and wide. Transferring your skincare routine from summer to fall is vital to a healthy, bright complexion these autumn months.

Meet the Makers Monday - Loveland!
For the last few days, the Rebel Junk team has had the pleasure of taking over Loveland, Colorado - specifically the Ranch Events Complex! First of all: holy COW! What an incredibly beautiful part of this country! Seriously, to die for gorgeous scenery. When they sing about purple mountains' majesty, clearly this is the place they have in mind.
As usual for Rebel Junk events, we opened the doors on Friday evening to our early bird shoppers. Not even snow and frigid temps could keep these die-hard junkers away, and who could blame them?!
The venue was packed to the gills with over 180 of the area's best vendors. What an incredible experience it was to wander the aisles chock full of vintage, reclaimed, rustic, handmade, and really just plain awesome small businesses! This was one of the most dedicated, hard-working groups of show vendors we've ever seen!
Melinda of The Threadbox not only came to sell, but rocked her sweet little baby while she was at it. Talk about a family business!
Joel Lugo of JLugo Creations paints some incredible snowboards. I really mean incredible - his work is just stunning!
Mindy of Junk Wonderful was SUPER sweet, produced a seriously beautiful display, and runs her own local shop. Definitely go see her!
LeeAnna of Prairie Bella combines this adorable feminine style with classic European styling and the charm of rustic junk and vintage treasures for a beautiful meeting point!
Ok, Melinda of TresMelindas? Y'all have GOT to meet this lady! She's this perfect blend of Colorado and Southern belle, and her jewelry is just to die for!
It would be just plain impossible to go through every single vendor in one post (did I mention there were over 180?!) but suffice to say we had the absolute BEST time in Loveland this last weekend! We can't wait to get back there!!!
The Rebel Junk 2018 tour continues this week with Santa Rosa coming up to bat! If you're near Sonoma County in California, you're going to want to grab your tickets and come see us! As usual, you can purchase your tickets online for Friday earlybird access (5:30pm)! We open to the general public from 6-9pm on Friday and from 10am-4pm on Saturday!
Click the link below to get your tickets, and let's get Junkin!!!

Challenging a CQC Warning Notice
When a service is found to be in breach of regulations, CQC can issue a Warning Notice. In the order of severity, a Warning Notice is just above the requirement that a provider produce a Report on Actions and just below a Notice of Proposal to impose a condition on registration (normally, an embargo on placements).
What do you need to do?
If you wish to challenge a Warning Notice, you have 10 working days from the date of receipt to make representations. If you miss that deadline, the Warning Notice will stand.
We can help make representations to CQC asking that the Warning Notice be withdrawn. If, alternatively, you accept the contents of the Warning Notice, we can help you respond to CQC showing you are making improvements to help mitigate against CQC taking any further action.
In either case, it is important to deal proactively with the Warning Notice and get your service back on track. Failing to do so is very likely to lead to bigger problems later on.
You need to act quickly
Sometimes CQC will issue a Warning Notice before a draft inspection report has been sent to the provider. In such circumstances you must act quickly to respond to both the Warning Notice and, when it comes, the inspection report. If there are factual inaccuracies in the draft inspection report, we recommend that you submit a factual accuracy challenge. If you succeed in obtaining positive changes to the draft inspection report, it can help you overcome the Warning Notice.
CQC will also set a deadline for the provider to comply with the regulations cited in the Warning Notice.Failure to do so could result in more serious enforcement action, such as a condition being imposed on your registration (often an embargo on placements) or a Notice of Proposal to Cancel Registration.
We can help you with
- Making representations against warning notices
- Challenging penalty notices and fines
- Challenging a Notice of Proposal to Cancel Registration
- Appealing a Notice of Decision to Cancel Registration
- Defending the imposition of conditions on or suspension of registration
- Challenging embargos by local authorities

What is a Mastermind Group?
I refer to a Mastermind Group as a group of like-minded individuals working towards and supporting each other on a common goal.
The term was originally coined by Napoleon Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich". Hill thought of a Mastermind as a moment of time "when a group of individual brains are coordinated and function in harmony, the increased energy created through that alliance becomes available to every individual brain in that group."
In his 20+ years of researching successful people Hill concluded that participating in Mastermind groups were critical to achieving success.
For example, Mr. Hill noticed that Henry Ford's most rapid strides became noticeable after he became personal friends with Thomas Edison. Why? Because Edison helped him to form acquaintances with people such as Harvey Firestone, John Burroughs, and Luther Burbank. The four men formed a Mastermind that collectively added to the intelligence, experience, and knowledge of each of the four men.
To share an excerpt from "Think and Grow Rich: The 21st Century Edition", "Masterminds are formed of individuals who have the same agenda, a deep sense of mission, and commitment to the same goal. Masterminds represent the highest order of thinking by a group of knowledgable people, each contributing their absolute best according to their own abilities, expertise, and background."
Effective Masterminds include learning, but go far beyond simply learning from an informational model. They also involve brainstorming, peer support, and peer accountability. I often say that when you learn new information and then Mastermind on it in a group, you drive Retention, Reinforcement, Application, and Accountability to new heights. The goal is to not only set goals that defeat the status quo, but to then reach and exceed them. In essence, the group begins to become the catalyst that propels each individual toward achieving incredible levels of growth, both personally and professionally.
What a Mastermind Group is NOT
- It is not training. During training, the instructor comes to the group with the information to be shared. While this often fits when a group needs to be provided with new information, the Mastermind Group is not the place for this. The goal of the group is for the leader to simply facilitate the discussion and ensure that the entire group is participating and contributing.
- It is not a group coaching session. Group coaching is a powerful experience, but it is an experience that is led by the qualified Coach. In those sessions, the other participants are usually spectating when others are being coached. In a Mastermind, everyone brings their expertise, advise, and feedback to the process.
- It is not a book study. Some people have done the process a disservice when they simply reviewed chapters in a book and called them a Mastermind Group. While there is certainly nothing wrong with Masterminding around a book (in fact, that can be quite powerful when done correctly), as previously stated, the goal of the Mastermind is to ensure Retention, Reinforcement, Application, and Accountability are achieved. I have seen many people read a book, put it on the shelf, and change nothing. I have also seen people Mastermind around a book and ignite tremendous change and growth.

John Haywood, middle name's Wezley, but it's spelled with a 'z', Artist, Painter, Musician and Business Owner (Tattoo Parlor):
"I live in Knott County, Kentucky, at the confluence of Big Doubles, Little Doubles and Buffalo Creek.
I spent about 10 years hanging around Louisville and Morehead, going to college. [Majored in] Art, graphic design as an undergrad, and painting as a graduate student.
Mostly for a living I run a tattoo shop here in Whitesburg. I make a little money playing music every once in a while, and sell a painting every once in a while. Well, maybe [I'm a jack] of three trades! But, they're all kinda real similar. I'm really good at those things but I'm kinda horrible at everything else I guess.
Where I grew up in the mountains, we grew up in the holler. We had a post office that was actually named after our family. Risner, Kentucky. The post office was discontinued in the early '80s. I was probably about seven or eight years old, I guess, when they quit using that post office. It was a little country store. Everybody in the whole holler I was related to somehow or another, you know what I mean? We had a family cemetery, a little church. My parents never had any trouble worrying about us, because your neighbor would be your aunt, and your cousins lived on up the holler, and you had the run of the whole holler pretty much growing up. It was a real blessed experience for me because I can't find that anywhere else anymore.
[Had a knack for art] Just from a very early age. In the holler there where we grew up, I had a lot of cousins, a lot of 'em were guys and I was kinda like the youngest of a lot of cousins as far as the guys. I was one of the later guys, so all of my older cousins were real big into sports and real big into competing and all that sort of stuff so what they would do was, they'd get me out there and just run circles around me and stuff. And for me, the thing I could do that was good was this art. For as long as I can remember, I drew. My granny has pictures that I drew stuffed in an old Bible that I couldn't remember ever drawing. But I drew 'em. Little kid doodles. And so I just always did it. For me it was just kind of an escape from the pressures of all the real world, you know, from socializing', because I did have a lot of older cousins that beat up on me all the time.
So that was my thing. I was horrible and they didn't want me on their team at ball time. I'm so tall everybody was wondering why I didn't play basketball. See, my papaw played for Wayland, the Wayland Wasps, and they were always known for their basketball team and that's how he got through high school, being a good ball player, you know.
[Got into playing music] Sometime around the 7th grade, when I was probably around 10 or 11 years old I started messing around with different things. My aunt lived in the old home place, my mom had three brothers and a sister and they all grew up in this old house that my aunt lived in when I was growing up. And in her house, she had these old instruments that were unplayable, but that were fascinating to me and I'd get ahold of one and just bang around on it. And then one day, my mom actually got this keyboard and we would just sit around and mess with that.
I was into rock and roll, so I finally talked them into getting me an electric guitar by the time I was about 12 or something. One of the things about learning to play rock and roll was you have to learn a lot of basic stuff, so one of my cousins up the road, I could take my guitar to him and he would tune it, and he would tune it by playing 'Cripple Creek' or 'Old Joe Clark' and then he'd make me learn it, you know. So at the time, I would learn those old tunes but I didn't think of it as being culturally significant. I didn't think of that sort of stuff. I was just like these are these old tunes that these people play and it's what you gotta do before getting into the good stuff. That was always how I felt.
I guess when the newness of the city started to sink more in and started to feel more comfortable I started to miss home more or less. So missing home, and having failed after failed attempt at having a rock and roll band… I still want to play music but I wanted to find something that was me, that was kind of where I came from so I started investigating more and more the traditional music of the mountains as a means of just strengthening what I already did. I didn't know that I would eventually just stick to these traditional sorts of methods of playing. I thought that I would just be learning some techniques that I could apply to whatever else it was I was doing.
But what I realized is that, when learning more about the banjo and stuff, I began to learn the history and where all the songs came from and even that the banjo is set up to play a certain way. I became more fascinated with that than trying to use it as a means to create some kind of real, I don't know, original, commercial type music. I think a lot of it was I was in my 20s and homesick and I always thought, well if you're not successful in the rock and roll business by the time you're 25 you're probably not gonna be.
I also had the art thing going at the same time. It always has worked kind of hand in hand, the art and the music, cause a lot of the art is about music. I owe a lot of what I paint these days to having gotten more into my culture and the history. It's not just the music I'm into now, but it's all the old ways of living and eating and all that stuff that interests me now.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that this (Appalachian) culture is just about living. Everybody, when it comes down to it, just seems to be concerned about living. You could say we're about so many different things, but I feel like we've never been about trying to make a big deal out of ourselves or anything like that. We've always just been about carrying on what we do. Even in people that haven't really learned about their culture, a lot of people take it for granted, I feel like.
But in the end it's all still there, even, a little bit in everybody, no matter what kind of thing you're into, we're still all this… there's something the same in all of us. And I've learned a lot that through having the tattoo shop. Cause I tattoo coal miners and I tattoo artists and I tattoo an environmental activist type person and these are all people a lot of times you don't get 'em in the same room or it can be a mess, you know. But I see all these types of people on a regular basis, and so it's given me this nice interpretation of everybody, everybody just wants to live here. They love it here. They don't want to leave. Some people will leave and find better things, but everybody generally, they may leave Eastern Kentucky, but most of the time they'll find some place in the mountains to live.
Most people don't leave the mountains to come back and coal mine, really. They leave the mountains because they want something better. My grandfather was a coal miner, quit school in the 6th grade, worked underground, finally got black lung and died when he was 72. And the one thing he told me was to get an education; to go experience the world. He was like, 'Don't do what I did.' That was his number one thing and I think about that every day I get up.
I think we're the most intelligent people on the planet; only because we know about things that are of the earth. You can't just walk down the street and grab whatever part you need for whatever just broke, you know what I mean? When I lived in Louisville, I lived on Frankfort Avenue, everything at your disposal, right there, anything you wanted. Here in the mountains, we've always had to make do just because of the bit of distance between many of us, and we've had to rely on each other, so a lot of us have strong family ties, which is really important to your health and everything.
For instance, the stereotype of the banjo player, everybody thinks of the banjo player being kind of like an ignorant hillbilly, but all the banjo players I know are highly intelligent people. Even culturally exposed. Not so isolated like everybody thinks. [On whether Deliverance destroyed the perception of the banjo] I would say so. You still hear the jokes.
I got into tattooing, I was about to graduate from college with an art degree, and nobody had any faith in me. I'd spent eight years in college to graduate with a Masters of Art. That seemed like a real kind of worthless degree to some family and kinfolk and stuff.
When you run around with the rock and roll crowd, tattoos are the way to go sometimes. I really loved tattoos because it was art, something you can draw and stuff. So, I ended up meeting a guy. There was a co-op studio, we all worked at in Louisville and one of the artists that come in to get a space, his name was Adrian Wright, he was a real folk artist. He would do paintings there and I knew he tattooed. I helped him organize a tattoo art show one summer. Over the course of that I started meeting all these tattoo artists, and it was cool because they were really drawing every day. That was what their profession was, they drew every day and I was just so jealous because here I was just trying to get a job maybe teaching. I've done my fair share of teaching to compare.
During the course of all that he said 'have you ever thought about tattooing' and I said 'well I thought about it' but I didn't know if it was for me or not because I considered myself more of a fine artist, I guess. My oil painting style is kind of my take on the old Flemish style of oil painting, which is building layers and it's sophisticated color and this sort of stuff, which really doesn't apply to tattooing all the time. You gotta do it like once and get it done. But I thought about it and I talked to my wife, Kelly, about it, and they told me I'd make $600 a day. I was like, 'I'm in!'
I soon found out you end up working for free for a year, scrubbing floors, but you learn about sterilization, you're learning all this stuff. You're working in a shop. I was actually an apprentice at one of the busiest shops on Fort Knox. So it was military guys all the time. Military families, rednecks, bikers, you know, everybody under the sun was through there at Fort Knox. It was like a crash course in learning about the tattoo world. I stayed there for about five or six years.
Got burnt out and quit totally. Came back home and said 'alright I'm coming home, I'm getting away from this crazy city life stuff.' So when I came back home, I actually took a few little jobs here and there just doing music. I really got into my painting. Started doing more festivals. But tattooing is the kind of job where you start to miss it. Your customers are your boss, so you're used to having someone new telling you what to do every day. So I kinda like that about it because the hardest thing about being an artist sometimes is that little bit of inspiration. I can work hard, I'm like a mule man, I'll sit and paint all night or draw all night, but that spark of inspiration, what you're gonna paint, what you're gonna draw, can sometimes be hard to come by. So tattooing is like it keeps me fresh drawing. May be what other people want, but I get to do what I want every once in a while.
I think the number one thing [to help the economy] is to try to find some way of being proud of where you're from. I don't understand. I don't even understand sometimes what's going on in Whitesburg because sometimes it seems like it's a big lot going on and sometimes it's like a whole lotta nothing. I still pass people on the street every day who say this town's going to be nothing before you know it.
There's a little fire here and I like it. And that's why I'm still here. There's still a little bit of a little core community around here that seems to be content with being here. That's why, when I think about, if I were to sum us up, we're just about living. Cause there's so many people here that could go somewhere else, including myself, and make more money. You know, get more exposure to whatever, have more opportunities. But we choose to stay here. And in a way, some of us have done it collectively. Anytime I think about leaving I don't think about myself. I think about all these other people it would affect".

Pendle Hill Cohort 2013-14 Final Evaluations from participants:
"It will change your life in unexpected ways. You will discover how amazing people are when you know them on a deep level. You will leave even the first weekend with a sense of connection unlike any other. You will learn to appreciate the power of listening."
"The experience of the cohort was wonderful and to learn and grow together – I will always cherish. The clearness committee experience is hard to describe in words – so the experience far exceeded the explanation in words."

"I feel more aware of the Divine Presence in others. It was an opportunity to deepen your capacity to be present to yourself and others – to make soul level connection with self and others in service of more abundant life." NS
"This experience filled my cup to overflowing. I am more strong, clearer, energized, more affirming of self – and thus all others I am in relationship with. The most valuable aspect of the retreat is to have communion with other souls willing to be exposed, to be held in a very palpable love, to be encouraged to grow. This is about transformation – about being totally alive and using your life in the way you were meant to be." LMH
"I gained the skills and experienced the support to open up to my soul's wisdom and create a safe space for others to do the same."

"If you are willing to explore who you are and be open to self-discovery, if you are willing to be part of a trust community, if you are looking for guidance and help in your life journey – you should give yourself the gift of this retreat series." RG
"I am embracing all the elements of myself –all my pain and sorrow, all my love and joy – all my journey, all of its travelling companions. I am embracing it all and realizing I can weave it together to create wholeness and acceptance – and that I am not done with the weaving. I am using open-ended reflection to help others hear their soul's message. I am loving myself just the way I am. If you are ready to weave all the seemingly disparate elements of your life into a beautiful tapestry, if you are ready to learn how to listen deeply and empower others to hear their soul – take this retreat series."

Customer Reviews about The UPS Store:
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★I have been using this store for years and have always had excellent service. Recently I asked them to do a mailing and provided them with the document and address files, not realizing that the address file was corrupted. All but a few of the envelopes were returned as undeliverable. It was clearly my fault, but the store did the entire mailing over at no cost to me, even though I said I would pay for it. That is service above and beyond what I would have expected! Thank you!By Janet Senf, March 23, 2017
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Was having problems with USPS...Lost packages, misdirected mail and other issues made me look for another way. Finally we settled on using the UPS store. Now we have all our mail and deliveries sent to the store address. And, we never miss shipments, never loose med supplies and do not get buried under mountains of junk mail. The bonus is that this store has the friendliest staff, they work WITH you to get you what you need. I'm becoming more and more a UPS fan.By DinoTechie, January 13, 2017
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★I recently shipped 5 pieces of antique furniture & 4 pieces of art from Tucson to my home in Jersey City, NJ. Not only did everything arrive in perfect condition but it was packed with such care I told Kristi, one of the owners, I had to write a review to say how incredibly pleased I am with the entire experience. Not only did Joe come out & pick everything up but he & his team at the UPS store on Orange Grove & Oracle did a superb packing job. The price was good & the delivery date convenient for me. I can't say enough about the job that was done for me & everyone was professional, courteous & extremely competent! You can pay someone to do a job but these people CARE & that's all the difference in choosing who to trust to ship valuable & fragile objects across the country!By Cathey Baier, December 17, 2016
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★This store has the friendliest staff around!! I've been going there for years for my printing and recently used them for shipping my mom's house full of furniture back home to my brother's place when she downsized. They also shipped one of her very valuable paintings that I was really nervous about and did a BEAUTIFUL job with it!! I'm so glad that not only do they have great service, but they do such QUALITY work. That's so hard to come by!By Montgomery Brown, September 28, 2016

Mourners say goodbye to history-making astronaut John Glenn
Mourners are filing by John Glenn's flag-draped casket at Ohio's capitol building as his home state and the nation say goodbye to the history-making astronaut.
The first American to orbit the Earth will lie in honour for at least eight hours on Friday in Columbus before a public memorial service on Saturday.
A steady stream of visitors are lining up to see Mr Glenn's closed casket while a Marine honour guard stands by inside the Ohio Statehouse.
The 95-year-old Glenn died last week.
Several events are scheduled to celebrate his life.
The tributes include a public processional and memorial service on Saturday at Ohio State University.
Vice President Joe Biden is among those expected to attend.
Mr Glenn represented Ohio in the US Senate for more than two decades.

Thanksgiving was pretty good. I had turkey with cranberry sauce (my fave)! and ham with rum raisin sauce from Zippy's. I also had all kinds of other foods… chocolate cake (dobash), haupia, cookie, some kind of peanutbutter and chocolate dessert thing, vegetarian chili with brown rice, an avocado sandwich… it was a day for food.
I also went to Safeway and got a bouquet of flowers to put on mom and dad's niche. It felt good visiting them, and honoring them on Thanksgiving. I skipped on my family's party. I can't say exactly why, but it's not the same without mom there anymore. I needed some space. I'm thankful for my relatives though. Don't get me wrong about that.
I'm also thankful for the life I have, and the ability to do things like train for the Honolulu Marathon, and go back to school and start taking the first steps towards a new career, in January.
I'm looking forward to the future, and enjoying the present, and very humbled and grateful for all these opportunities. I'm so happy to be leaving IT and pursuing something that actually interests me! I hope to succeed and be able to help other people.

Shipwreck divers who looted a Royal Navy vessel at the bottom of the English Channel have been jailed for failing to disclose the items they took.
The Kent Police writes:
HMS Hermes was a protected cruiser built in the late 19th century and converted into an aircraft ferry and depot ship ready for the start of the First World War. It was sunk by a German submarine in the Dover Strait in October 1914, causing the loss of 44 British lives. Kent Police was notified in early 2015 that a number of historical artefacts had been reported missing from the wreck, and were given the names of the two men believed to be responsible. They were Nigel Ingram (pictured left), 57, of London Road, Teynham, and John Blight (right), 58, of Old River Way in Winchelsea, East Sussex. On Friday 22 June 2018 both men were found guilty of fraud relating to their failure to disclose recovered items in order to make a financial gain, following a two-week trial at Canterbury Crown Court. Ingram was subsequently jailed for four years and Blight for three-and-a-half years
The jury heard how the men had been found at the location of the Hermes by French maritime surveillance officers on Tuesday 30 September 2014. Ingram was in the water at the time, having dived from Blight's boat called De Bounty. No offences were identified but the officers were suspicious of the lifting equipment present on the vessel, resulting in an underwater exploration of the Hermes three days later. This revealed the ship's condenser had been removed and that some of the equipment spotted on De Bounty had been left behind. A criminal investigation was launched by the French authorities and later referred to Kent Police, resulting in the arrests of Ingram and Blight on Monday 19 October 2015.
More than 100 items of unreported wreck were recovered at Ingram's home along with approximately £16,000 cash. A number of photographs were also located on his computer, one of which showed the condenser of the Hermes on the back of De Bounty approximately four hours after it had been boarded by the French surveillance officers. Police established through subsequent enquiries that Ingram had cashed a cheque from a scrap merchant for £5,029 the day after, on Wednesday 1 October 2014. Also seized from Ingram's home was a notebook entitled 'De Bounty, Diver Recovery' that contained details of what dives were undertaken and the items recovered, including the condenser. The total value of the wreck collected was estimated at being more than £150,000. None of the items listed were reported to the Receiver of Wreck as they should have been.
Investigating officer PC Anne Aylett of Kent Police said: 'The HMS Hermes and other shipwrecks of its kind are legally protected for a reason, and that is because they form an important part of the history of this country. Nigel Ingram and John Blight have demonstrated a complete disregard for the law by helping themselves to artefacts that should have remained beneath the sea instead of being brought to the surface and sold for scrap metal. We are proud of our close working relationship with our partner agencies, which in this case included the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the Marine Management Organisation, the Receiver of Wreck, Sussex Police, Historic England, Crown Prosecution Service and the French authorities, and take a robust approach to ensuring important historical items do not end up in the hands of people who are not entitled to them. We will continue to investigate anyone suspected of stealing items from sunken wrecks and seek to prosecute them when appropriate.'
Mark Harrison, head of heritage crime and policing advice for Historic England, said: 'All archaeological sites underwater comprise a finite, irreplaceable and fragile resource, vulnerable to damage and destruction through human activity. Like nighthawking on land, the illicit removal of objects from underwater archaeological contexts does much more damage beyond just the loss of an item. All archaeological sites can give us clues and evidence about past events and it is this history that is disturbed and lost when items are removed. This removal means that part of our national story is lost and can never be replaced, particularly where historic artefacts have been sold for scrap, as in this case. We know that the majority of the diving community complies with the laws and regulations regarding the discovery and recovery of wreck from the sea. We will continue to work with the police and other organisations to identify the small criminal minority who are intent on causing loss and damage to our shared cultural heritage.'

He found it two days later, and a former employee suspected of stealing it said he merely borrowed it to "haul a couple loads of gravel." Problem is, when found, the truck had been disassembled and its serial numbers scratched off. Hmmm. Weber had received a tip and flew his private plane to Grand Coulee, where from his airborne perch he spotted his truck. The suspect saw Weber's plane, knew whose it was, and started to flee before calling Weber on his cell phone to say he "didn't mean to steal" the truck.
