Well, I was foiled with the Insta-blog plan. Apparently they do not want their site used for blog length posts. So that led to some frustration on my part, which I of course I whined about to my sweet husband. He said "well, I guess you better just do a blog for real." He has the gift of cutting through drama and finding a solution. So for $48 a year, he got me this page. If I set it up right you should be able to see it from FB and Twitter. I'm not sure how to share it on Instagram–so if you have thoughts on that, let me know!
I wanted to go ahead and share my entry for today, even though I was sort of able to get it out there tonight, but then I had to delete it.
My sleepless night after I wrote about sweet sleep
And so it goes, I wrote about having sweet sleep and then last night I had a sleepless night. I woke up out of dead sleep from a bad dream and then laid there, replaying just about every bone-headed thing I have done in the last six months. Until I was reminded (by the Lord), "Oh hey, didn't I just write something down about sweet sleep? Didn't I just record myself realizing that sweet sleep comes with trusting the Lord?" As He always does with me the Lord invited me into a conversation in the dead of night, while my mind was whirling. He lovingly reminded me that nothing can be done in the dead of night, that I was enough and that He loves me no matter what bone-headed thing I do. Not that I went right back to sleep. No, I got up and got some Cheerios and some water. When I went back to my room the puppies had decided it was puppy food time. I had to let them out and talk them into going back to sleep. By talk I mean yelling at them to be quit. Jesse has the gift of sweet sleep, because he did not hear anything of what was going on. I did finally lay back down and thanked the Lord for always teaching me and for making sure I am really living what I am saying out loud to my family and my friends. He is so real and present to me at night because I have spent so many years laying awake. I was such an anxious child. I started having panic attacks at night when I was seven. Bless my mom's heart, she sat with me, rubbed my back and talked to me at least once a week from seven-eighteen years old. Then when I went to college she would answer my phone calls at 2 AM and talk me out of it. It wasn't until I went to the Student Health Center at Texas Tech to see if I could get a pill for my "heartburn" that I found out there was a name for my night-time attacks. I was still not a believer in Jesus yet, so the best I could do at that point was to manage the symptoms of the deeper problem. When I became a believer, suddenly I had Someone greater than myself to trust in. Putting my faith in God, who is perfect, faithful and also made payment for my sin, took the panic out of my soul. Jesus says in His word "come to me those of you who are weary and I will give you rest." That is what my soul was longing for, rest. Obviously I still struggle with anxiety, sometimes I wonder if I will ever be "over" this anxiety thing. What I am learning is it's a process and it starts with me knowing Jesus and doing battle spiritually with Him. It's saying no to my flesh that wants to worry and panic, and saying yes to my spirit that longs for a relationship with God. My bedroom is where I war against this anxiety. My bedroom is where my bible time, and prayer time happens. This is where I spend a lot of time saying no to my flesh and yes to my spirit. I keep calling it my room, but it is Jesse's room too. Just wanted that to be clear.
Because I need this space to be clean and functional at ALL TIMES, we decided to put in hardwood floors. The dogs will destroy a carpet faster than anything, so because we where changing things up we upgraded to hardwood. The walls are a soft grey, trim is bright white. The plantation shutters were already here and I made the curtains out of a printed burlap. The wall sconces, night stands, coffee table and faux fireplace I found at local Rockwall shops. The bed and dresser are my beloved Magnolia Home purchases from Nebraska Furniture Mart. (Joanna Gaines is my spirit animal) The prayer chairs I found in the clearance section of Nebraska Furniture Mart. The "In the morning when I rise give me Jesus" and the "Every love story is beautiful but ours is my favorite" signs were also local finds. The "It is well with my soul" sign and the lamp were actual Magnolia Market at the Silos buys. The "You are my sunshine" mason jar holder was made for us by our neighbors at bible school. The rugs are target finds.
It has to be recorded that I was gonna record a story about the goats today but as I was praying this morning the Lord reminded me, "Don't be a hypocrite, don't record one day that you understand sweet sleep comes from trusting the Lord, and then gloss over the awful night you had. Just write it down." He is always teaching me and I love Him for it.

The jerseys from the special day against the Roosters were auctioned off through www.allbids.com.au to raise money for the Ricky Stuart Foundation with all 17 match worn jerseys available for auction.
With Emre's jersey amongst the 17, Huawei decided they'd bid top dollar to purchase Emre's jersey, so they could make sure he got to keep his first ever NRL jumper.
At Wednesday's nights Meninga Medal Presentation evening Emre was finally reunited with his jersey, with Jeremy Mitchell and Lisa Connors from Huawei on hand to present him his jersey.
"It's awesome to get the jersey I played my first game in and to be able to keep it is unreal," Guler said. "I knew my family was keen to buy it in the auction, so thankfully Huawei contacted them and told them they were going to get it for me."

A PRIMARY school teacher is hoping to inspire the next generation of writers after self-publishing his first book.
Ian Hornett, who spent ten years at Gosbecks Primary School but now works as a supply teacher, is set to release the first part of trilogy, Quarton: The Bridge, via Amazon.
Two years ago the 54-year-old decided to take a leap of faith and quit his full time job at the Owen Ward Close school in order to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a writer.
He said: "I have always been interested in writing but I hadn't done much about it before.
"I had always wanted to write a book but I did not have an idea.
"Then I went on holiday to New Zealand and the beautiful scenery inspired me."
Mr Hornett is also a keen fitness fanatic and in 2017 walked ten marathons to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.
He says he used this time walking to help develop the idea for his first book, and also managed to raise thousands of pounds along the way.
"I met a lot of people who had been living with prostate cancer who were inspiration to me in terms of not giving up on anything," he said.
"This has certainly helped to keep me going when I lack motivation to write.
"It was a difficult decision to give up full time teaching because I enjoy working with children.
"We had to look at whether we could afford it as well.
"But I felt if I was going to take it seriously I would have to stop working full time."
Mr Hornett, who lives in Mile End, is aiming at the young adult market with his first book series but has several other ideas in the pipeline.
"It is a science fiction type of book and a story about reincarnation told through different characters over 5,000 years," he said.
"I have already written the second part of the trilogy but that needs editing.
"Because I teach primary school children I am also writing two shortish stories for ten to 12 year olds.
"I really think being a teacher has helped. I have taught writing and I know the process.
"You also need perseverance, which is one of the main things we teach at primary school."
Quarton: The Bridge is available as an ebook via Amazon now.

The sugarcane farmers,who had laid siege to the Chandigarh-Ludhiana National Highway-95,called off their protest on Friday after receiving a part of the arrears of Rs 28 crore for the sugarcane supplied to seven cooperative sugar mills of Punjab.
The Chief Minister has also directed the Rural Development Board to immediately release Rs 15 crore to the Sugarfed for the payment of these cane arrears,which it has. He asked Sugarfed to arrange balance funds of Rs 13.9 crore from its own resources. The farmers,led by Punjab Mandi Board chairman Ajmer Singh Lakhowal,who is also the chairman of Bhartiya Kisan Union (Lakhowal),had started the protest in Morinda on Thursday and threatened to continue till they got the payment. Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today intervened in the matter himself and issued orders to release the outstanding payment with immediate effect.
Since Sugarfed,which owes the payment to farmers,was short of funds,Punjab Mandi Board,as per the orders of CM,released a Rs 15-crore cheque to Sugarfed for disbursement among the farmers. Lakhowal,who had even threatened to resign his post of mandi board chairman if the state government did not pay heed to the protesting farmers demand,said that as for the the rest of the payment,Sugarfed has agreed to release Rs 8 crore by January 15 and Rs 5 crore by January 25.

PARIS — France's market watchdog ruled late Thursday that 17 current and former executives of Airbus and its parent, EADS, did not violate insider-trading laws when they sold company shares three years ago.
The decision by the Financial Markets Authority followed a two-and-a-half-year investigation into assertions that managers of the two companies knew of manufacturing problems with the A380 superjumbo passenger jet when they sold EADS shares in March 2006, three months before the troubles became public. The shares plunged 26 percent on the day after the company announced a six-month delay in deliveries.
At the heart of the investigation was a series of board meetings in February and March 2006, where A380 assembly line problems were discussed. The meetings occurred shortly before a period in which directors were allowed to exercise share options.
The regulator said that it had found no evidence that what the executives were told about the A380's troubles at that time was detailed enough for a "reasonable investor" to anticipate a significant drop in the share price. The troubles discussed at that time, the regulator found, were of a "lesser amplitude" than those that were communicated to the public on June 13, 2006.
Legal specialists said the failure to find any violation after such a long and prominent inquiry would probably be seen as a setback for the market authority.
"It's a major failure, and it puts the AMF in a difficult spot" said Stéphane Bonifassi, a lawyer in Paris who specializes in financial crimes, referring to the regulator by its French initials. "It raises the question whether, when it comes to insider trading, we are not very efficient in Europe about sanctions."Continue reading the main story
In its decision, the regulator also found that EADS had complied with its obligations to tell shareholders about the delays in a timely manner. The delays, initially expected to last six months, eventually stretched to more than two years, resulting in more than 5 billion euros in losses.
The two largest industrial shareholders in EADS, the German automaker Daimler and the French publishing conglomerate Lagardère, also were cleared of wrongdoing.
An EADS spokesman, Alexander Reinhardt, said the company was "pleased" and "satisfied" with the decision, adding that the company was hopeful the findings would be considered by French authorities pursuing a separate criminal inquiry.
Seven of the executives faced a combined total of 12 million euros or about $17.5 million in potential fines. EADS itself faced a fine of 700,000 euros for failing to release timely information about the delays in A380 deliveries. Those delays eventually stretched to more than two years, resulting in more than 5 billion euros in losses.
Jean de Belot, a spokesman for Noël Forgeard, who was forced out as co-chief executive of EADS in July 2006 and who faced the largest potential fine, 5.45 million euros, or about $7.9 million, said Mr. Forgeard was "delighted" by the decision, which he hoped would "restore the honor of his work and that of the team at Airbus and EADS."Continue reading the main story

It's possible to watch the six hours of "Hatfields & McCoys," a three-night mini-series beginning on Monday on the History channel, and still be scratching your head over how, exactly, the whole thing got started.
A Hatfield defected from the Confederate side during the Civil War and got a head start on postwar business, which irritated his former friend, a McCoy. But then there was already bad blood because a McCoy had accused another Hatfield of illicit relations with a dog.
Well, it makes sense that the origins of a famous feud a century and a half ago might be confusing. A more timely question would be: How did the story of the West Virginia Hatfields and the Kentucky McCoys become a six-hour television drama? The answer to that is simple: Kevin Costner wanted it so.
Mr. Costner stars in "Hatfields & McCoys" as Anse, the primary Hatfield, and is a producer of the project. It was directed by Kevin Reynolds, a feature film director whose credits include two Costner vehicles, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" and "Waterworld." And Mr. Costner's involvement probably has something to do with the quality of the cast, which includes Bill Paxton as Mr. Costner's opposite number, Randall McCoy, as well as Powers Boothe and Mare Winningham.
Mr. Costner's interest in the history of the American frontier has not had memorable results overall — the world wouldn't be that much poorer without "Silverado," "Wyatt Earp" or (contrarian alert) "Dances With Wolves" — but "Hatfields & McCoys" is a perfectly respectable piece of work, and probably better than we could have expected for a History mini-series. Mr. Costner and Mr. Paxton acquit themselves well, and Mr. Reynolds gives the ambushes and shootouts, filmed in Romania, a shambling, ugly realism. The writing, by Bill Kerby, Ted Mann and Ronald Parker, is florid within tolerable limits.
The mini-series's main problem is that six-hour running time. Filling it means that more attention than necessary is paid to things like an interfamily love affair, and legal and political wrangling, that are of historical interest but distract from the real business at hand, which is Hatfields and McCoys shooting at one another.Continue reading the main story

Last season's roots, new greens, and tough guy soap
Dinner last night was an in-between seasons meal. As our CSA deliveries don't start up until June, we're left to fend for ourselves. LAMB is the official meat of spring though I'm not sure where we picked it up (this happens once in a blue moon). We rubbed it with olive oil and chives from the yard and broiled the chops - 6 minutes/side. Guilty pleasure: we topped it off with mustard from France. The ROOT VEGETABLE PUREE is the second to last bag we processed from our winter CSA. CSA deliveries definitely changed our cooking patterns. The pattern that worked for us was to let the veggies pile up, then every few weekends cook 'em down in a big pot, mash em up, and divi the puree into freezer bags and freeze. The frozen puree makes a great base for soup or a replacement for potatoes. Just add butter! The SPINACH was from yesterday's market - opening day! We braised that on low heat over some minced chives and garlic we picked up at Eddydale Farms a few weeks back.
I don't remember who we bought the spinach from or from whom we bought this bread. I think from here on out I'll pay even closer attention to these things.
I DO know where I got this soap. I LOVE this soap. 17th Century Suds - they make incredible products. Especially this Tough Guy soap. Too bad I can post how it smells and feels. You'll just have to imagine.

A couple years ago I did a poetry residency in Dixon, Montana, a town of 216 people give or take. I drove forty-five minutes from Missoula once a week for twelve weeks to teach in a combined classroom of third and fourth graders. The total class count, with all students' present, was ten. It was the hardest teaching experience I've ever had, partly because attendance was sporadic, student reading and writing levels varied widely, and much of the student body lived difficult lives outside the classroom that affected them while at school. But mostly, it was challenging because nothing I tried seemed to reach them or "work." The first few weeks were chaos and not the productive, creative kind.
Elementary school teachers are remarkable people with outrageous patience who deserve our support. One technique I've seen many of them use to great effect is call and response (ie. they say "class class" and the students respond "yes yes" or "when I say x, you say y" like at a concert). Clapping patterns are also highly effective in classroom management. Something about repetition, body memory, music, rhythm. In Dixon, in desperation, I tried for similar engagement by having the students memorize a poem about their town by one of its own poets, Vic Charlo. It really felt like a last resort.
I gave students a written copy of the poem and we practiced aloud, using various techniques. As soon as they started to drift away, we'd do it differently. Each student would recite a line and we'd repeat after them, or we'd say the first two lines over and over together. We'd close our eyes and listen to the sounds. We'd think about the pictures each line brought to mind. We'd do it fast, slow, loud, soft, sitting, standing. We'd do it again and again, week after week. Shockingly, it "worked," and by this I mean students participated and seemed to enjoy it, to feel proud of what they accomplished when each had memorized the full poem. Not to mention the vibrations and energy of everyone reciting together like a chorus. That was special.
I'm no pedagogical visionary and the value of memorizing poems is not a new idea—it's the oldest one. As we understand it, the spoken proceeded the written historically and there's something to this. I want to call it animal or instinctual, something deeply ingrained and transcendent, like the pleasure of music or the power of a chant. Memorizing poems also has the fully-encompassing quality of foreign language immersion—it involves reading, listening, speaking. Ideally, writing too—I didn't do this with Dixon students but one of the best memorization tools is writing out a poem multiple times.
There are many people who've written more and better and further on this topic, memorization in teaching and the value of poetry specifically. And memorization is of course fraught and dangerous when it's all you do. But in working this year with Poetry Out Loud students, I was further convinced of memorization's potential, and even saw new powers I'd missed. How to make a poem your own, even an old poem or one by someone with such different experience from yours? Take it into your body, learn it all through like an instrument you master over time, capture the poem's command, and make it sing like you sing, like only you can sing. At Pueblo Gardens, in a fourth grade classroom this spring, we memorized a poem by Ofelia Zepeda. It was our starting activity in each class for several weeks and I believe it helped the students focus. I also believe it did other things, deeper and more profound, many of which I can only guess at.
Plus, there's no "proof" it had impact, but I believe it did. Sort of like I believe in poetry generally—stats are irrelevant. It's a feeling beyond words.
After a few weeks of working on the poem, a student raised his hand. "Miss, why are we doing this?" My answer was insufficient but I said:
- It's fun, right?
- You'll carry it with you longer than you think
- Maybe we could perform it together
- If you're blue or confused, you can sing it to yourself
- The more poems you know, the more naturally you'll write them
- You can share it with others and you don't need anything to do it
- I don't know 100%, there are probably other reasons (ie. I should write a blog post for the Poetry Center?)
- Bottom line, I think it's magical.
- Will you trust me? Let's start from the top.

Al-Dur, Iraq
The muqarnas-domed structure known as Imam al-Dur
(Imam Dur) was a mausoleum complex situated on the east bank of the Tigris some
twenty kilometers north of Samarra in Salah al-Din Governorate. It stood close
to the escarpments along the river, west of the limits of the modern-day
settlement of al-Dur. An inscription on the exterior of the building stated
that it was the turba (tomb) of Abu 'Abd-Allah Muhammad, son of Musa
[al-Kazim], the seventh Shi'a imam. Another inscription names the patron as the
'Uqaylid amir Sharaf al-Dawla Muslim ibn Quraysh (d. 1085/478) and the
architect as Abu Shakir ibn Abu al-Faraj ibn Nasuh. Scholars date the original
building based on its inscriptions to circa 1085/478 AH or in the years just
after.1 Through its long history, patrons added adjoining components, which
fell out of use by the twentieth century. Da'ish (the so-called "Islamic
State") destroyed the building in 2014.
It is a matter of debate whose remains actually
lay in the tomb. While the inscription states that the son of the seventh Shi'a
imam is buried there, some scholars have questioned this dedication and
suggested instead that it is the resting place of the patron, Muslim ibn
The site was a walled enclosure comprising the
square, muqarnas-domed tomb chamber in its southwest corner, a small mosque to
the east of the tomb chamber, and a courtyard to the north with the remnants of
a portico wrapping around its north, west, and south sides. Access to the
complex was through a gateway on its north side, where visitors would enter
onto the north portico of the courtyard. Access to the tomb chamber and
adjacent mosque were from the south portico of the courtyard.
The tomb chamber was the only structure left
standing in the early twentieth century when travelers and archaeologists first
photographed the ruins. Only the bases of the walls of the courtyard and mosque
remained. The dome chamber's base was a tall, tapering cube bolstered by four
corner bastions made of baked brick. Hazarbaf brickwork adorned the corner
bastions and a band at the top of the base.
Surmounting the cube was a muqarnas dome resting
on a tall octagonal drum. The shell of the dome itself consisted of three increasingly
narrower octagonal drums, each rotated slightly to form a spiral effect. At the
top of these was a dome-shaped cupola.
One entered the tomb chamber through a door on
its north side. The inner chamber was square in plan. Its walls featured stucco
ornamentation, including rows of blind lobed arches and vegetal motifs. Above
the cornice, the octagonal drum and rotated octagons forming the four courses
of muqarnas were accentuated with scalloped niches. The cupola concluding the
dome is decorated on the interior with fluting.
Imam al-Dur was significant for both its form and
the contents of its inscriptions. Its inscriptions contained unusual detail,
naming not only the dedicatee and patron, but also the architect, construction
supervisors (mutawallī), as well as the chamberlain (hājib) in
power at the time of construction. Formally, the mausoleum is the earliest
datable example of the muqarnas dome, a form that appears on numerous buildings
in Iraq and the historically connected regions of Khuzistan, the Jazira, and
The tomb was reported destroyed in October 2014.4

Jeeees..... Thats a great title. Not since the original trilogy has there ever been a title like that; More thrilling, more nail bitting, more ACTION. This is - truly - THE Star Wars epic to succeed the three original films. The way it succeeds the original films, is by deception, both by the Empire and by the rebels. It also succeeds the original films by the nail bitting action, by the multitude of different species and by the multitude of different space treks. And finally the way it succeeds the original films, is by having both an old crew (Luke and leya Skywalker) and a new crew as well. This epic is a real treat. ThomasT.

Tune up your clinic security and safety for spring
As April gets into full swing, spring is on everyone's minds. In some of the southern climes, some of you will be feeling the first effects of the warm season and (rightfully so) will want to enjoy it. In the clinic and the laboratory, however, it's still important to remember that safety is paramount. Unless you take a good inventory of the safety issues around your facility, the medical clinic or laboratory can actually be a pretty dangerous place when the weather warms up. Here are the things safety experts say you should keep in mind to ensure your facility is safe this spring.
Keep your employees cool—and your chemicals. As the temperature outside rises, it's important to make sure the temperature inside stays constant, both for personal comfort and for safety.
"You need to make it comfortable for your staff so they will wear PPE," says Dan Scungio, MT (ASCP), SLS, laboratory safety officer for Sentara Healthcare, a multihospital system in Virginia, and otherwise known as "Dan, the Lab Safety Man." If you don't already have a stash in storage, now is the time to buy lightweight lab coats for your staff that are made with materials designed to be cooler, but with the same protective and spill-proof qualities.
Another thing to consider, especially in the healthcare environment, is that many reagents and chemicals need to be kept at a constant temperature and humidity level to maintain their stability and quality, Scungio says. By changing the temperature of the air inside, you risk compromising the safety of those chemicals. Consult manufacturer's recommendations to determine the proper atmospheric conditions for each chemical.
Work with facility maintenance to maintain temperature. One of the problems in warmer weather is that people try to take temperature control into their own hands. Employees will often bring in fans and dehumidifiers/humidifiers to keep things cool. This is a big problem. Fans can spread airborne bacteria and contaminants throughout the facility. Fans are rarely cleaned on a regular schedule, and the same goes for humidifiers, which are filled with water that is often left standing and can breed bacteria. When it comes to temperature control, most facilities already have industrial air conditioning and humidifiers that work better than anything people can bring in from home.
Watch out for slips and falls. The problem with transitional seasons like spring and fall is their inconsistency. Temperatures might be warm and toasty during the day, melting any snow and ice that may have accumulated during an earlier snowfall. At night, however, temperatures can dip back down into freezing territory, making your entrances and parking lots hazardous.
"When things start melting, we think [we] have everything under control, but in the morning, surfaces will be slippery," says Marge McFarlane, PhD, CHSP, CHFM, HEM, MEP, CHEP, principal of Superior Performance, LLC, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Remember that in many areas of the country, it's possible to get snowstorms even in May. For that reason, you should always have a supply of sand and salt nearby, as well as snow shovels so you can keep common areas clear of snow and ice.
Scungio says that in Virginia where he works, there were four snowstorms in only a few weeks that left piles of snow. One day it was 50ºF, the next it was 70ºF, and then at night the temperature dipped below freezing.
"All that snow is refreezing at night, and it definitely needs to be dealt with," he says. "Pay attention to your surroundings."
Keep the numbers of your plowing contractors handy in case you need your parking lots cleared overnight. Also, rubber mats in your entranceways are a must for keeping floors slip-free.
Encourage proper footwear. Since this is the season of slippery floors, which can lead to slips, trips, and falls, it's probably a good idea to talk to your staff about wearing proper footwear. Warmer weather brings with it the temptation to break out the flip-flops, sandals, and open-toed shoes, which have no place in the healthcare workplace.
In addition to opening up toes to hazards from falling equipment and spilled chemicals and body fluids, sandals and flip-flops can make people more likely to trip, and exposed toes can be a sanitary issue. A better choice is a shoe with good traction, such as sneakers that offer comfort while protecting the feet (check out the new Skechers line of shoes with grippy soles, designed just for healthcare workers).
It's also a good idea to remind your staff and visitors to be careful outside when it's slippery and on wet floors. Some experts suggest teaching workers to walk "like a penguin," shifting their body weight from side to side and taking small steps to help prevent falls.
Don't prop open doors. It's a nice day and the sun is shining, and the temptation to open the door is understandable. But don't allow your employees to do it, experts say. In addition to potentially throwing off the facility's internal temperature and humidity (see above), it's a security issue.
"Vermin can come in," says McFarlane. "Do you want four-legged or furry creatures to enter and hide out and startle your patients?"
But animals and bugs aren't the only things that can come inside. An open door is a breach in your security wall and invites human intruders as well. At night, intruders can hide more easily, so the open door becomes even more of a safety concern.
Even if intruders from the outdoors aren't a problem, a propped-open door is a break in the barriers designed to keep your facility clean and safe inside, such as in areas of negative pressure. Also, many doors in healthcare facilities are rated as fire doors, and keeping them open can break fire codes.
Lock the doors and protect the front lines. If this isn't enough reason to keep doors closed, consider your frontline workers: the people in your reception and triage areas. In many ways they are the faces of your organization, the voices on the phone, and the ones who collect money from patients. As a result, they also are the most vulnerable in your office, as any violent incident is likely to manifest itself there and escalate if not promptly addressed. Front desk workers should never be on their own. Not only will they be overwhelmed with work, but also an incident can quickly escalate out of control. If they need to defend themselves, having more than one person puts them in a position of power, and at the very least, someone can run for help.
There should be a way for everyone in the office to know when danger lurks. A panic button, a code word, or a PA announcement system can let people in the back know when things are getting ugly and give them a chance to help or escape.
The front door shouldn't be the only way out, especially if an armed person is blocking it. Your office should have at least two exits, and most rooms should have two exit routes as well. Workers should be aware of them, and they should be easily identified and clear of obstructions. As well, consider giving front desk workers a barrier. Having an open desk merely gives an intruder an open invitation to jump over it and overwhelm desk staff. A better solution is to install bulletproof glass, deep counters, and a receptionist area with lockable doors.
Cover the perimeters. Many safety experts say that violence against clinics in nicer weather usually starts outside. Someone looking to cause trouble will first stake out the perimeter. Take a good look around the outside and see how inviting it is to a would-be intruder. There should be no dark areas outside your facility where people can lurk in the shadows. Walkways, parking areas, bus stops, and areas near doorways should have plenty of lighting, as should the actual building itself, where shadows of hiding persons can be projected.
Next, invest in some cameras. Closed-circuit video systems have become so affordable that it makes sense to spend some money on a system that can not only record activity around your perimeter, but also broadcast the signals to front desk staff. Lastly, trim your hedges and trees, and remove snow banks.
Overgrown shrubbery in warmer weather and piles of snow in winter make ideal places for someone to hide. Instruct your maintenance department to keep vegetation to a minimum and to remove snow appropriately.
Make sure everyone is drinking water regularly. Those working in the healthcare environment face unique challenges when it comes to water. Unlike other jobs, healthcare employees are discouraged from bringing water bottles into the medical environment because they can pose a sanitation and infection control hazard. And in the busy world of healthcare, finding time to run to water coolers or common areas to drink can be difficult or deprioritized.
The issue is that most people don't realize they're dehydrated until they get symptoms, even in cooler, drier weather. Symptoms of mild dehydration include sleepiness, dizziness, and headaches, none of which are ideal in a job that requires a lot of multitasking and high focus.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) says an adequate daily intake for men is about 13 cups (3 liters) and 9 cups (2.2 liters) for women. Encourage employees to find the time to drink regularly and make sure that there's an adequate source of water throughout the facility.
Enforce the dress code. The most obvious change seen among workers during the summer months is the clothes they want to wear. While wearing shorter, lighter clothes is understandable on a hot day, these clothes can pose a serious infection control risk.
"You still need the same kind of protective shoes that you always wear at any other time of the year in the lab," Scungio says. "Capri pants don't cover your legs, nor do shorts, so that should not be allowed as part of the laboratory dress code. But you can tend to see that in the summertime as well. And [the solution] is strictly management enforcement of the dress code."
Scungio suggests sending out a reminder to employees that the dress code doesn't change with the season. He also recommends purchasing lightweight lab coats for the summer months to encourage PPE compliance on hot days.

"Bachelorette" is a song by Björk, released as the second single from her 1997 album Homogenic. Released on 8 December 1997, the song was originally written for a film by Bernardo Bertolucci, but the project was withdrawn. The lyrics for "Bachelorette" were written by Sjón, a friend and collaborator of the singer. The music video was noted for its surrealistic art direction, leading to a win at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

✪ Panic! At The Disco: Death Of A Bachelor [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
✪ Dan + Shay - Speechless (Wedding Video)
✪ Bachelor Pad Theme Song First Dance Wedding Song. Bachelor Bachelorette. Bigger Heart
As Björk tells in her website:
|Because I wanted the lyrics to be so epic, I got my friend Sjón – who's a poet in Iceland – to write them. We sat together at the kitchen table and drank a lot of red wine and I told him the whole story for hours and days and he wrote the words from that story.
The song is emotionally charged and theatrical, following the album's theme of "beats and strings", but also includes other instruments like timbales, timpani, Alp horn, accordion, etc., that make the song stronger and more dramatic. Björk herself describes the song's story as "Isobel goes to the city."
Music video
The surreal music video was directed by longtime Björk video collaborator Michel Gondry, and is an exploration of self-reference, featuring a dramatized version of the Droste effect. It features Björk as "Bachelorette", a woman who finds a book buried in her garden that begins to write itself, describing what Bachelorette does as she describes it; the book is entitled "My Story".
She takes the book to a publishing house, "Clark Publishing", in an unspecified large city that may be Chicago, and she and the publisher fall in love. (It becomes obvious, seeing and hearing excerpts from the book, that the book tells the story of how Bachelorette found the book, travelled to meet the publisher, and fell in love with him.)
The book becomes incredibly popular (at one point, all of Bachelorette's fellow passengers on a subway are seen reading it), and is turned into a musical, featuring Bachelorette as herself. The musical version includes the story of the musical itself, so at some point a mini theater is shown on the stage, featuring actors dressed as a small audience.
At some point later in the musical this mini musical features an even smaller version of itself, with an even smaller stage audience. The publisher, who is in the actual audience, becomes disgusted with seeing so many versions of himself, and breaks off the relationship; later, his character in the original musical does as well. The book becomes unpopular, and the original copy begins unwriting itself.
Because of this turn of events, a chain reaction occurs in the nested theatres, causing each to be nullified and revert to nature. Ultimately, the entire city devolves into the garden that appeared at the outset. The unwritten book finds its resting place buried in the ground once more, and Bachelorette ends up dancing and surrounded by wildlife.
The video was based on an original idea by Björk, who saw "Bachelorette" as a continuation of the character portrayed in "Isobel" and "Human Behaviour". The song lyrics of "Isobel" were also written by Björk's longstanding co writer Sjón. As Gondry describes it, "this character is leaving the forest and she decides to go to the city to have a normal life. She tries her best and it doesn't work out and she comes back to the forest and she is happier there."[1]
The art direction of the video was heavily praised. The video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Art Direction.
Cover versions
The song has been covered by Turkish singer Müslüm Gürses as "Aşk Tesadüfleri Sever" ("Love Loves Coincidences" in Turkish) and is given his name of album in 2006 and artist Voltaire. Tori Amos has also covered the song in concert, though not to be confused with another song written and performed by herself which shares the title.
The song has been covered by French post-black metal band The Great Old Ones in 2013.

Last winter M was always in her car seat when we left the house. We kept her in an infant carrier with a warm fleece and down cover. If it was really cold we'd put her in a furry bear suit before strapping her in (because it was an all-in-one layer that wasn't too puffy for the car seat straps). This year? This year is insane.
This is her one-piece Columbia suit (consignment!) and it's only going to fit for another month or so. It's actually not hard to put on — built in hand covers make it easy! But her jacket and ski pants (which are actually a teeny bit too big), those are another story. There are those two layers plus her boots and her mitts and her hat. We still need a baby balaclava for her. Her pants always ride up and expose her legs. It takes twenty minutes to get all her stuff on to go outside, and that's just for the walk to daycare!
I miss the days of slipping a dress on her and putting her down in the sun, that's for sure. And I don't think next winter will be much better — in fact it could be worse. Anyone familiar with Robert Munsch and I Have to Go!?
Of course, part of surviving winter here is getting outside, bundled up and warm, so we go through the routine of seventeen million layers (half of which she takes off as we put another layer on). Here's to winter, which hasn't even officially started, yet…

disease of the genitourinary system that is characterized by inflammation caused by Ureaplasma (opportunistic microorganism). That is, the Ureaplasma is an intracellular particle affecting the mucous membranes of the urinary or genital organs.
Ureaplasma takes an intermediate position between viruses and single-celled organisms, because it does not have its own cell wall. This organism can long time remain in the human body and parasite, without causing pathological process. And statistically, 70% of women and men are carriers of this parasite. Occur the disease can be due to the predisposing factors, influencing the person. The inflammatory process in organs of genitourinary system is caused by Ureaplasma, when not detected other microorganisms, having the ability to provoke the disease. The disease itself can kharakterizuetsya acute or chronic form.
Usually the infection of this disease is by sexual contact. That is, the cause of anaplasmosis can be sexual relationships, decreased immunity, the presence of inducing diseases (related genital infections). The disease can be transmitted from mother to child through the birth canal.
The symptoms of anaplasmosis are varied for women and men. Pathology is accompanied by an incubation period ranging from several days to a month. And chronic anaplasmosis is characterized by oiled and soft symptoms.
Women Ureaplasma is often asymptomatic, but from time to time may be
- pain that radiates in the abdomen
- burning or itching of the external genitalia or the urethra
- periodic clear discharge from the vagina, especially in the morning due to the long retention of urine
- weakness and slight fever
- during urination there is a burning sensation.
Men anaplasmosis can manifest in the form
- frequent urination
- sexual dysfunction and erection
- itching or burning in the area of the urethra, and penile
- pain during urination
- transparent discharge from the urethra
- pain in the anus or the thighs.
Today, the development of urogenital ureaplasmosis associated with reproductive functions, as infertility of women can be the consequence of inflammation caused by these microorganisms. Inflammation caused by Ureaplasma entails endometritis, adhesions in the fallopian passages, oophoritis, and other complications. Such disease in women usually end up the inability to conceive or spontaneous abortion.
Ureaplasma in men also causes negative consequences, such as infertility, impaired sperm motility, and similar problems.
In women, Ureaplasma can cause such complications
- urolithiasis is a metabolic disorder in the body, resulting in kidney stones or bladder
- cystitis acute or chronic inflammation in the ureters
- oophoritis inflammation of the ovaries and shell frosted tubes
- pyelonephritis inflammation of the kidney
- endometritis inflammation of the inner layer of the uterus
- infertility, as it disrupted the normal formation of eggs.
- complication of pregnancy, as possible violation of fetal development, premature births and similar problems.

- cystitis
- urethritis (inflammation in urethra)
- urolithiasis
- orchitis (inflammation of testicles)
- prostatitis (inflammation of prostate)
- epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis)
- infertility.
Treatment of anaplasmosis should be performed in accordance with the recommendations of the doctor. Before seeking treatment of a ureaplasmosis, it is necessary to undergo laboratory diagnostics to confirm the diagnosis. Initially, you need to address to the urologist or gynecologist who may prescribe the following instrumental examinations
- colcoscopy examination of the vaginal walls and its entrances with the help of special equipment
- a. examination of the urinary passageways using endoscopic equipment.
Also there are many laboratory methods to identify the causative agent of anaplasmosis, among which are
- serological tests performed to detect the necessary antibodies in the blood formed in response to the emergence of a particular antigen in the blood
- polymerase chain reaction makes it possible to determine the presence of viruses or bacteria in the DNA on the basis of the examined material
- microbiological analysis method of the research of the biological material on the content of those or other microorganisms by transfer to a nutrient medium
- bacteriological analysis gives the opportunity to detect the pathogen in the material taken through a microscope
- the reaction immunofluorescence assay detects specific antibody in a biological material using a special token
- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in biological material makes it possible to identify specific antigens that are alien piece.
Usually the treatment of Ureaplasma-based diet in which a person must refrain from eating smoked food, alcoholic drinks, and excessively salty, fried, fatty foods.
Treatment of Ureaplasma based on the integrated application of a number of drugs
- antibiotics to destroy the pathogen
- the use of pre – and probiotics to restore the normal microflora
- the use of vitamins
- the use of immunomodulators, which adjust the body's immune response
- use interferogenic means for additional suppression of the pathogen
- the use of drugs reparative actions to accelerate the recovery processes.
Massage has a positive effect, the introduction of medicines into the urethra, warming vaginal swabs, UV irradiation and so on.

Now, please understand, I always, ALWAYS love my children.
However, there are some days (not many, but still some) that I text Derek at work just to let him know that three children is enough, that there will be no more, that I'm shutting down the factory. Derek doesn't like this little joke. It makes him feel bad, and sad that he gets to go off to work, and I'm stuck at home begging the boys to quit playing hockey with chain saws. (I wish I were making that up, at least they were toy chainsaws.)
He really doesn't like it when I include words like "snipped" or "clipped" in the text messages.
He especially doesn't like it when I tell him I've made him an appt... but I digress.
So, I prefer to NOT have days like that, when I wonder why we ever thought kids were a good idea.
And today was one of the GOOD days.
The boys were so cute. I didn't have to put a single one of them on timeout, not even once. I threatened Oliver a few times, but he shaped up quickly. ;)
They listened, Henry was helpful, Spencer took an excellant nap. All around, a successful day.
So, today, I'm a fan.
Here are some recent pics:
We went to the Silverton Casino last Saturday. It's one of our favorites because it's nearby and it has sting rays. Bass Pro Shops is there, and the boys like to "drive" the boats.
This sting ray was a good buddy of the boys.
|From June 2009
|From June 2009
We made homemade oreos yesterday. There were so good. Note I said "were." They are gone. Whoops.
|From June 2009
See Henry's apron? My mother made that for me when I three. And now, 22 years later, it's still kicking. Oh, sweet sentiment.
|From June 2009
That was SPENCER'S cookie. I assure you, I did not forget it.
Tonight before bed, the boys decided to have "reading time." And their choices in reading material? Henry: Kohl's Sales Ad. Spencer: The Wilford Woodruff Sunday School Manual. I promise, I had nothing to do with it.
|From June 2009
I took no pictures of sweet baby Oliver today. But we have discovered a fascinating truth about our smallest wee one. His preferred bedtime for the day: 5:30 pm. I'm not gonna fight him on that. :)
So, to sum up, today I'm a fan of my children.

Hi, I'm Shan Jiang (江山), a 4th-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Northeastern University. I'm happily and fortunately advised by Professor Christo Wilson.
I work broadly around computational journalism and computational social science. Currently, my research investigates the information quality (or lack thereof) of human-generated content (e.g., news, misinformation, fact-checks) on the web, particularly under algorithmic curation (e.g., ranking, moderation).
During my Ph.D., I have interned with Google AI in Summer 2019, and Dataminr in Spring 2019. Before Ph.D., I got my B.B.A in Management Information Systems from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2016 and did my undergraduate thesis at National University of Singapore.
You can find more about me from my résumé and publications. I'm on Google Scholar, dblp, LinkedIn and GitHub. I also have a very outdated university page.
I'm available at [email protected].

Celtic star Cristian Gamboa admits it was special to hear Hoops fans sing his name during Partick Thistle clash
The full-back set up two goals to ensure Brendan Rodgers' men booked their place in the quarter final
THEY'D never before serenaded him in song.
Never before had they really seen him play.
But at Firhill on Saturday, Cristian Gamboa danced into the hearts of the Celtic support with two magical moves that ensured a last waltz for Partick Thistle in this season's Betfred Cup.
The Costa Rica international has kicked his heels on the sidelines following his move from West Brom two years ago.
Mikael Lustig has occupied the right-back slot during the double Treble campaigns, reducing Gamboa to a bit-part role under Brendan Rodgers.
But he took centre stage at the weekend with a dazzling man-of-the-match performance which included assists for Moussa Dembele and Tom Rogic.
That his wife, Melissa, and sons, Felipe and Julian, were there to see it made it all the more special.
Gamboa said: "I've been two years at the club and they hadn't sung my name — so Saturday was really special, particularly as my family were here.
"I've been in the shadows, working hard, trying to get a chance and, at the weekend, me and my family got something back.
"Now I've got to keep going. This is the way I am. I will always keep going until the end.
"I've always tried to do my best and work hard. I may not have been getting game time but I've tried to keep myself on top.
"I'm happy as it's a fantastic club. But, yes, my family and kids always helped me.
"On Monday it will be the same. I will keep working hard. I'll be ready for the next game."
Just a few weeks ago, Gamboa was giving serious consideration to his Parkhead future.
Last season, in his efforts to make the World Cup, he hired a specialist fitness trainer to compensate for his chronic lack of match action.
He played three times for his country in Russia, displaying the never-say-die attitude that has brought him back from the brink at Celtic.
Having fought so hard to make it into the first team, Gamboa is determined to stay there and make the right-back position his own.
He said: "I wanted to get to the World Cup and I managed to play three games with Costa Rica.
"That was my second World Cup, so I think the gaffer can trust me.
"I still have one year on my contract, so I just have to keep going. My future is here for one more year.
"I'm happy, my family is happy and my kids have enjoyed their time in Scotland.
"Playing for Celtic is one of the best clubs in my career.
"If I stay for one more year, I'm going to be happy to be here."
Leigh Griffiths fired Celtic ahead but Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo then levelled.
A shock exit was the last thing Rodgers needed at the end of a week in which his Champions League dream was reduced to rubble in Athens.
But up stepped Gamboa who, with two surging runs forward, laid on Dembele and Rogic for the goals that killed off Thistle.
He said: "It's one thing the gaffer always asks of us. Go forward and try to help your team-mates by getting into a good position.
"It was nice to be involved firstly and in the second half I got some crosses in to try to help the team. It's special for me.
"I came in with my confidence really high as I got the Rosenborg game as well. The gaffer can trust me 100 per cent.
"It's been difficult but you need to be ready at this club. You can never complain. There is always someone at your back putting pressure on you.
"I've just kept going and worked hard to help the club.
"Last season was difficult for me but this season I feel like I'm doing the right things. Hopefully I can build on this game.
"At this kind of club, there's always good competition around. You always need to put in hard work.
"Every game is a challenge, so you need to prove yourself every time. The manager has made this point to us.
"In the past two games, there was disappointment but on Saturday we got back on track, which is good for the club and the fans."
Gamboa insists Celtic must bury the hurt of their Champions League exit and focus their efforts on making the group stages of the Europa League instead.
Rodgers' men travel to Lithuania for a first leg play-off clash against FK Suduva on Thursday.
And Gamboa insisted: "We need to play European football. For Scottish football and for Celtic, we need to be involved there.
"The Champions League is over, so now we need to get the Europa League for the fans and the people around the club.
"For us, it's nice to play in Europe. We always get good games especially at Celtic Park. We need to do it.
KENNY OUT Kenny Miller sensationally leaves Livingston after just seven weeks
"Of course we wanted Champions League but now it's over.
"We know we cannot do anything about it. Now we have the Europa League, so we need to get a good result there."

After President Trump essentially goaded reporters into asking the question, a senior White House official told Axios that Chief of Staff John Kelly "did not receive a call" from Barack Obama after his son was killed in Afghanistan.
Be smart: Trump is doubling down on a claim that is well outside the bounds of normal political attacks, and now he's bringing his chief of staff into it. Even after all his previous attacks on Obama, this is new territory for Trump.

Hello my loves! I hope you're all doing well.
Today's post is a little travel hack for my fellow students, and anyone else who likes to travel the country often without spending a fortune! I'm working with National Express to let you know more about coach travel, the benefits and why you should definitely be using it!
Affordable, Comfy and Modern Student Travel With National Express Coaches
So last week, myself and @sameastphoto took a trip from Bristol to London for a day of content shooting before I headed home for my university Easter break. We had a wonderful day and a great journey with National Express! It was a two and a half hour journey, but it was very comfortable and relaxing! It's the largest provider of scheduled coach services, linking over 900 destinations, there are so many to choose from!
I know as a student that homesickness can be a killer, which is why travelling home during the holidays can be so great to refresh yourself and see your family. Trains can be a little pricey sometimes, and a coach is a great alternative for comfy, affordable and fast student travel! Here are a few little facts and figures about National Express coaches:
- There are thousands of tickets at £5 or less, so it's a super affordable mode of transport.
- There is the option of seat reservations, but a seat is always guaranteed!
- There are coach operations direct to airport terminals with over 1.100 daily services, 24 hours a day!
Another super helpful addition to your student travel needs is the young person Coachcard. This is for anybody aged 16-26 and offers great savings all through the year. It only costs £12.50 for a year and you will receive: a third off regular fares, 20% off at Pizza Hut (a student essential), 15% discount for travel to certain festivals and music events and the cost of the Coachcard can also be offset against your first journey. Now that's a lot of perks! It would be silly not to, right?
Every coach is fit with air conditioning, leather seats, free entertainment via VUER – a complimentary onboard entertainment app, power sockets and toilets. You can't really ask for more! I don't know about you, but that seems like all the necessities for a coach trip! I'll definitely be using National Express coaches more often for my travel around the UK!
Do you travel by coach a lot? Let me know below!
This post is part of a sponsored campaign with National Express. My journey tickets were also gifted to me as part of the campaign.
