We recommend:
We noted last week that Jesus has thrown down the gauntlet against the religious leaders in Jerusalem. His followers praised Him as the Son of David and the Messiah as He approached the city. He threw out the moneychangers and the merchants from the temple and pronounced judgment through the cursing of the fig tree. All of these actions are deliberate challenges to the religious elite in the city. So, how will they respond? What will they do to this man from Galilee who teaches and acts with such authority?
We find the answer to these questions in our text this morning. Make no mistake about it, the religious leaders are not just going to sit by and keep quiet about Jesus ministry. No, they are going to take action and retaliate. They have opposed His ministry from the beginning and they are not going to stop now. In fact, they will not stop until they ultimately see Him crucified. Yet, they are not sure at this point how to do that without offending the crowds who seem to appreciate and enjoy His teaching. Thus, for now, they simply come to Him with questions and challenges. Of course, Jesus is not fooled by their games. He knows that they are out to destroy Him (see 10:33-34). We can identify many of their errors by what they say and do in our text this morning, as well as by how Jesus responds to them. I want us to consider five of their errors this morning and how we can avoid them in our own lives.
First, they do not recognize Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God (11:27-12:12).
When they first approach Jesus after He has cleansed the temple, they immediately ask Him about what authority He has to do such a thing. Look at 11:27-33. To answer them, Jesus asks them if the baptism of John was from man or from God. They do not want to answer either way because of what it will mean. If they answer that Johns baptism was from man, then they will risk the crowds turning on them. If they answer that it was from God, then they will have to admit that Johns ministry was from God. So, they do not answer.
Jesus then tells them that He will not answer their question. It is important to note that Jesus is not just avoiding their question. Rather, in a subtle way, He is telling them where His authority comes from, namely the same place that Johns came from: God. They were not willing to accept that Johns ministry was from God, a ministry which pointed to the greater ministry of Jesus, and so they would not be willing to accept Jesus explanation of His own authority. They simply could not acknowledge that John and Jesus were faithful servants of God the Father.
After this initial encounter, Jesus then tells the parable of the tenants and the vineyard. A man had a vineyard that he leased to tenants to upkeep. Yet, when he sent for his rightful share of the profits, the tenants would not give them and beat the servant instead. He sent more servants that they beat and killed as well. Finally, he sent his own son. In a final act of malice and rebellion, they killed the son and threw him out of the vineyard.
Jesus follows the story with this question: What will the owner of the vineyard do? He answers in verses 9-11. Look at those with me. The owner will destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. The religious leaders know that Jesus is talking about them. He is teaching the crowds of their rejection since they have consistently rejected the servants of God and now they are rejecting His Son. Thus, the vineyard will be given to others. Mark does not identify who these will be, but the New Testament authors recognize that it is the Church, all those who repent and believe in Jesus (1 Peter 2:1-10).
Second, they fear men (11:32, 12:12).
In both of these sections Mark tells us about another problem that the religious leaders had. Look at 11:32 and 12:12). The religious leaders feared men more than they feared God. Likewise, their fear of men was blinding them to the Truth that stood before them. They were so concerned with pleasing the crowds and defending their traditions that they just could not see that Jesus of Nazareth was none other than the Son of God. They cannot even stand by their convictions enough to challenge Jesus authority. Thus, Jesus will not answer them. He will not even recognize their challenge as vital because they are not willing to take a stand. Although much could be said about the dangers of fearing men more than God, let me just give this warning from out text: the fear of man will blind you to the truth of God. You cannot fear men and faithfully follow after Christ. The religious leaders are clear examples of that error.
Third, they are hypocrites (12:13-17).
Following the parable, the religious leaders send some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. After some flattery (which is actually true), they ask Him if a person should pay taxes to Caesar. The trap in this question is that if Jesus says yes, then the Zealots will see Him as pro-Rome and if He says no, then the Roman authorities will have reason to oppose His ministry. Thus, their question could be simplified: do you support Caesar or God? Yet, as we have noted before, Jesus is not fooled by their flattery or their question. Look at His response in 12:15-17. With incredible eloquence, Jesus answers their question faithfully. Granted, His answer could have offended those who vehemently opposed Rome, but it was reasonable to most. In short, He is saying that ones support of Caesar (or any other government) does not have to violate their devotion to God. Later New Testament writers will elaborate more on this principle (see Romans 13:1-7, 1 Peter 2:13-17).
Why does this question make them hypocrites? They are not concerned with the answer to the question as much as they are with putting Jesus to the test. Thus, their question may seem legitimate, but it is simply a ploy to get Jesus in trouble. They want the crowds to believe that they are sincere in their following of Yahweh. Yet, Jesus knows the truth. He knows that there is more to the story than meets the eye (as He will teach in 12:38-40). Jesus is not fooled by the Pharisees and the Herodians. Neither is He fooled today by those who speak well of Him but ignore Him and His commands in the way that they live. We are fools to think we can fool Him.
Fourth, they do not know the Scriptures or the power of God (12:18-27, 35-37).
In the next story, it is the Sadducees who come to question Jesus. We do not know much about them, but they are a part of the religious elite and they believe that there is no resurrection and hold only to the first five books of the Old Testament. Thus, they come to ask Jesus a question that will challenge the idea of a resurrection. In the Law, if a man was married and died without having children, then his brother was to marry the wife and give her children which would carry on the brothers name. This is called Levirate marriage. They ask Jesus about who the wife would belong to after the resurrection if she married seven different brothers who all died.
Jesus answers their question in verses 24-27. Look at those verses with me. He tells them that their problem is that they know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. Their failure to believe in the resurrection reveals both of these errors. The question itself is absurd because in heaven they neither marry nor are given in marriage. Likewise, by quoting from Exodus 3, Jesus shows that God is a God of the living, thus demonstrating the resurrection from a passage in the Pentateuch. Their failure to know the Scriptures and believe in the power of God resulted in erroneous conclusions about God and the resurrection.
Jesus will go on in verses 35-37 to challenge their understanding of the Messiah as Davids son. Here again, they show their inability to understand the text. As believers, we cannot afford to make this error. We cannot assume that we have Scripture figured out or that we do not need to continue in our study of the Word. No, we must humbly acknowledge the power of God and ask Him to enable us to understand and apply His Word. Anything less will surely lead to great errors.
Fifth, they lust after honor and wealth (12:38-40)
Before we look at Jesus teaching on the greatest commandment, I want to consider His condemnation of them in verses 38-40. Look at those verses with me. The scribes, or the religious elite, are constantly looking to be honored in the public arena. They wear the fancy clothes and they reserve the best seats and they expect people to notice them. Not only that, but they pray long prayers for show and prey on the widows for their money. Jesus is showing how their pride is getting the best of them. Thus, He goes on to say that they will receive the greater condemnation, seemingly because they have been so unfaithful with all that they have been given.
Well, it is obvious from our text that the religious leaders in Jerusalem are making numerous errors in their attempt to serve Yahweh. So how do we avoid these errors? Beyond what we have already said, let me point out two ways from the text that we can avoid these errors. First, we begin by loving God with all that we are and loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. In 12:28-34, Mark tells us of Jesus being asked about the greatest commandment. Jesus answers by telling the scribe that love for God is the first commandment and love for neighbor is the second. The scribe agrees with Jesus answer and is commended for his growing understanding. If we look at the errors of the other scribes and leaders, we see that they could be avoided if we will truly love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength and evidence that by our love for our neighbor. Such love will guard us against their errors.
Second, we must humble ourselves before God and His Word. Look at 12:41-44. In contrast to the religious leaders who were full of pride, Mark tells us the story of the widows offering. They want to be recognized while she humbly gives all that she has to the Lord. The contrast is glaring. Instead of being full of pride and of ourselves, we should be humbling ourselves in the service of our God. Once again we see that there is no place for pride in the Kingdom.
Thus, through love of God and neighbor and through true humility, we can by Gods grace avoid the errors of the religious elite. And when you think about these two characteristics of love and humility, do they not remind you of Jesus, who humbled Himself by taking on flesh and loved us so much that He willingly gave His life at Calvary. As we strive to follow Him, may we do the same. Amen

text:
By Ola Szczesna, Research and Policy Director, Massachusetts Parents United
The mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida involved one unstable individual who used a legally purchased AR-15 rifle to shoot and kill 14 high school students and 3 staff members. Headlines across the country described the events of the tragic shooting, once again making the nation feel sorrow and helplessness.
As a result, Massachusetts Representative Marjorie C. Decker (D) proposed a Red Flag bill (H3610) that is currently pending in the House Ways and Means Committee.
So, what is this bill about? What's the red flag? And why are so many people talking about it?
Red Flag legislation is a gun safety policy in which family members or law enforcement officials would have the authority to request an Extreme Risk Protection Order, or ERPO, for an individual they believe is a danger to themselves or others, temporarily restricting their access to firearms. In other words, individuals would have the ability to mark someone they know with a "red flag" through a Court order by providing ample evidence that the individual is unfit to have access to a gun.
This sounds fairly reasonable, given how prevalent mass shootings have become in the US and how many gun deaths occur in our country each year.
How does ERPO technically work?
The way the bill is currently written for Massachusetts, an ERPO can be filed by "a family or household member of the respondent or a law enforcement officer or agency having jurisdiction over the respondent's residence." Within 14 days of filing the ERPO, the Court will set a hearing date.
If the Court finds enough evidence to deem the individual as being in danger of causing personal injury to self or others, the Court will issue an ERPO, meaning the dangerous individual is prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm for one year. After the first year, the ERPO can be renewed.
What's important to note here is that there must be sufficient evidence presented in order for an ERPO to be issued, preventing this from becoming an arbitrary tool abused by people who base their claims on faulty or unjustified reasoning.
Recently, the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association declared their support of the legislation, calling it a tool for closing "dangerous loopholes" that affect public safety. They also stated that the bill will empower law enforcement to use their judgement in identifying people who have demonstrated they should not be trusted with firearms.
If the point is to prevent shootings before they happen, than we need to equip law enforcement with a measure that allows them to remove guns from the wrong hands, until that individual can demonstrate that they are not a threat to cause harm.
Do Red Flag laws even work?
Prior to the Parkland shooting, five states already had some version of Red Flag legislation in place. Studies on the benefits of Red Flag legislation show lower rates of gun inflicted suicide and homicide. Red flag laws also provide law enforcement enough tools to intervene, remove guns from individuals seen as threats, and stop a tragedy before it is the next to make a headline.
On the other hand, critics of red flag legislation talk about infringement of civil liberties, and the dangers of setting a precedent for coercive measures being taken against individuals because they might, someday commit a crime although they may not have done so to date (based on the statement from the American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island).
Any "gun safety" or "gun control" bill creates controversy, particularly for those who have conservative views on gun ownership and support the NRA. The mere mention of gun control creates a panic for the GOP, as they realize this a core issue for their base and one they win on at the ballot box.
But there are policies that have strong bipartisan support, such as preventing the mentally ill from purchasing guns, barring gun purchases from people on no fly or watch lists, and background checks for private sales and at gun shows (Pew Research Center). Many believe that passing a Red Flag law is also a common sense solution that draws support from both sides of the aisle.
While there is typically a lot of talk about gun control after mass shootings with no action taken, the Parkland shooting has drawn significant attention to red flag legislation, on top of invoking marches and protests worldwide. Directly after the shooting, Florida quickly became the 6th state to pass Red Flag legislation.
Vermont was next, passing Red Flag legislation after a near incident only one day after the Parkland shooting in Florida, when Vermont police arrested an 18-year-old male who plotted a mass murder at Fair Haven Union High School in Rutland County. This finding was reason enough to convince Vermont's Governor, Phil Scott (R), to support the legislation although he had previously opposed any gun control laws.
Similar bills are now pending in 15 other states for the same efforts. While this is a step in the right direction, much more needs to be done to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands.
For Massachusetts Parents United, we know the safety of children, families, and individuals ultimately IS more important than the right of a potentially harmful individual to own a gun.
We know that we're at the point in society where it isn't enough to play defense.
We need to play offense, take preventative measures to stop school shootings from make headlines, and prevent the pain that families suffer before our children don't make it home.

'Startup' skewers hypocrisy in workplace culture

William "Mack" McAllister has a multi-million dollar idea to make the world a better place. His popular workplace wellness app, TakeOff, delivers exactly what you need to improve your mood and sense of well being during the work day, from a funny meme, to a song, to instructions for taking an active break. He envisions a world in which technology can help people take control of their own happiness, and he encourages TakeOff employees to live by the same philosophy.
Meanwhile, he's lying to investors about his roadmap, losing top hires, and is being investigated by a young reporter for sexual harassment.
Mack is a central character in Doree Shafrir's debut novel Startup, a satire about the New York tech scene that pulls no punches when it comes to inconsistencies between the rhetoric around humane, supportive office culture and many workers' realities. A senior culture writer at BuzzFeed and alum of Rolling Stone, Gawker, and others, Shafrir talked to Slack about what motivated her to confront these issues in her first work of fiction, and what she hopes readers will take away from it.
Slack: There's a big difference between Mack's altruistic vision and the way he thinks about other people as tools or annoyances in his own ambition. When you were creating the character, what did you think was really driving him?
Shafrir: The thing that I wanted to be clear about is that TakeOff is not a source for evil. Ultimately, his intentions are decent. He wants people to be happier in general, but the way he thinks that can happen is very naïve and misguided and one-size-fits-all, which I think is a common mistake that people in Silicon Valley make—that what works for a 28-year-old, single, white, privileged, male tech founder should work for everyone.
Slack: Reminds me of the scene where he shuts off his own app because it makes him feel worse.
Shafrir: Exactly, because sometimes you're feeling shitty you don't want your phone to be like, "Cheer up!"
Slack: Your character Dan is a tech journalist who sees himself as the opposite of the Macks of the world, but is hitting on his own young reporter and doing other exploitative things. If you had to give one moral or lesson to this book, what would it be?
I think Dan is actually the most un-self-aware character in the book. He sees himself as a really good guy who is speaking truth to power. A theme that runs throughout the book in not just Mack but also Dan and other characters, is practice what you preach. You see so much of this, people saying one thing but then when it comes to how they actually conduct business, it's a total different story.
Slack: Sexual harassment, and the way that women in tech and tech journalism are treated in general, is a major theme in the book. Did anything specific motivate this?
Shafrir: There was a lot of stuff in the air around the time that I started the book in early 2015. The Whitney Wolfe Tinder lawsuit had just been settled in November 2014, then the Ellen Pao trial started in February. And both had been in the news for a while.
It's not like I thought we'd have this all figured out by the time my book came out, but I naïvely felt it might feel dated. I wanted my book to be zeitgeisty but maybe not this zeitgeisty.
Evie Nagy also went from working at Rolling Stone to writing about tech culture, which she is now far more likely to call a "pivot" than she used to be.

Round brush set with brass bristles is rated out of 5 by 6.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chester Copperpot from An honest review I bought these because I assumed there'd be a much better improvement in comparison to the standard round brush sets, which arrived with my Steam Cleaner SC 4 EasyFix Premium. I'd say there is an improvement, but it's not as great as I'd hoped. I've used it with the Steam Turbo Brush and I was hoping that the grout adjacent to the floor tiles would be sparkling after using this accessory. Alas, I was expecting a little more... Furthermore, one whole section of the bristles fell out of one brush, so I was disappointed in the quality of the product. I haven't yet used the others in the pack, so I can't say whether this is just a manufacturing defect in isolation.

The Traveling Twosome Olympics are Coming in October 2010
Without question, some of our most popular posts on The Traveling Twosome have been the competitions between Char and I. From playing a game of pool to entering a wrestling ring, our fans love seeing us compete. That's why we're announcing that in October 2010, we're holding a competition marathon… The Traveling Twosome Olympics!
Char and I will compete in several events throughout the month and each event will be worth a unique pre-determined point value. At the end of the month, the winner will be the one who has accumulated the most points throughout the games. We're going to be holding several events and posting on each one along the way. We'll also have a point counter on this website so you can keep up with who's in the lead and by how much!
But wait, there's more… we'll be filming each event. So while each individual event post will have highlights and screenshots, we'll make a full length video containing The Traveling Twosome Olympics in its entirety at the end of the month!
We are considering holding our final event and the winning announcement in front of a live audience in Hot Springs, AR at the end of the month. If that happens, we'll be sure to let you know…
At this time, we're still looking for competitions to add to our lineup of events. Right now, we've got Tug of War over a mud pit, an arm wrestling match, billiards, basketball, darts, and more… what do YOU want to see us do? Let us know by sending us your suggestion on our Make a Request page – just be sure to tell us it's for The Traveling Twosome Olympics. Not all events have to be athletic. Be creative!
This will be one event you won't want to miss! Keep watching and telling your friends about The Traveling Twosome!

It may be assumed that increased public awareness of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) together with the availability of efficacious treatment will result in diagnostic evaluation at earlier stages of cognitive decline and diagnosis of dementia due to AD at earlier stages.
All persons that were examined at a university based memory clinic, in Germany, between 1985 and 2009 were included.
In the 3,951 persons identified, linear regression analysis revealed a positive association between Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score and year of initial examination (yearIE) (β = 0.266; p < 0.001). In the 1,821 patients diagnosed with dementia due to AD, a positive association between MMSE score and yearIE (β = 0.230; p < 0.001) was revealed. MMSE scores were higher (β = 0.195; p < 0.001) after the introduction of cholinesterase inhibitors in Germany in 1997.
Diagnostic evaluation of individuals occurred at progressively earlier stages of cognitive decline. Dementia due to AD was diagnosed at progressively earlier stages, and this trend was associated with the availability of efficacious treatment. This is the first study on changes in patient referral and diagnosis based on a continuous 25 years period.

Beach2Battleship is only four weeks away! ACK!!!
I don't know where the last several months went, but they somehow flew by and now the ironman is looming, like a big scary beast.
I haven't posted much of anything (at all?) in the past month because there's been too much going on to deal with it all, and something has to give. I don't want to get into it right now, but I will explain more later. Just not yet. There are big changes happening in my life that are stressful and emotionally taxing (no, I'm not pregnant). Unfortunately, those changes have come right during what should be my peak training for B2B. These things do not coexist nicely.
So I've tried to find a balance. It hasn't gone too well.
With all of these things going on, I decided to sacrifice a week of my four week taper, so I still have one week of peak training to go, and then it's taper time.
I would give you a rundown with the day-to-day training, except there isn't much to report. I've tried to do what I can. It hasn't been a ton, and I'm very frustrated by that. However, it's not really something I can let myself worry about right now. I just need to keep looking forward.
Today was supposed to be my 5.5 hour ride – around 85 miles (assuming I average 15 mph, which is very do-able). I decided instead of just tooling around and going wherever the wind (or the downhills) takes me, I wanted to find a route on mapmyride.com to follow.
I chose this one. In the description it says "mostly rolling with a few moderate hills."
I call bullshit. I should have studied the profile a bit more carefully as I was writing down the directions to take with me. I had no idea what I was in for.
I started out feeling good. Last week's first attempt at this ride had ended in a bonk at 1:30. So I tried to stay positive.
A few miles in, however, and I was singing a different tune.
If you haven't checked out the link, here's the profile:
I was hating those stupid roads – swearing up a storm as I went around every curve and one uphill after another would come into view. It was miserable. My legs were shot. They felt like jelly.
I couldn't do it. 16 miles in, and I had nothing left. I stood at the top of the worst hill yet and cried a bit – with another hill looming in front of me.
I was done. I had ridden for 1:30 (again). What I didn't realize (again, totally my fault because I didn't look at the profile enough before setting out on the ride), was that I had made it to here:
Stupid! I wish I had known I had already done the hardest part. Including 3 (3!!!) category 5 climbs! I think I could have finished it. That hill that was in front of me when I stood there and decided to turn around was that little tiny bump at the top of that monster.
I turned around and rode the same route back home. There had been so much uphill going out, that taking the same route back only took me 1 hour – 30 minutes less.
All the way back, I kept wondering if I could even complete the 112 mile ride in B2B. Doubts were swirling around my head every which way. To date, my longest ride has been the 61 miler four weeks ago, which felt wonderful. Since then, I have been so run down and mentally drained that every time I set out for a long ride, I crap out. I have, however, gotten a (slow) 17.5 mile run in, so that's looking okay (20 miler is next week).
When I got home, I pulled up the profile on mapmyride, and then pulled up the B2B bike profile to compare. I know everybody says B2B is flat, but now I was terrified. I started reading reports about false flats and rolling hills (both of which kill me), and of course, going over the two bridges coming into T2 (the bridges I already knew about).
Here's the B2B profile:
When I turned on the % grades, nothing even comes up for B2B, which makes me feel a bit better. However, there still appear to be quite a lot of bumps on that thing!
Comparing it to today's ride:
While less scary, it still looks unpleasant.
However, being a geologist, I deal a lot with a little thing called vertical exaggeration (just taught that in class last week, actually). If you take a look at the profile from today's ride, there's almost 1100 feet of elevation change there. In the B2B profile, there's only about 200.
So I scaled them to get a better sense of what I was dealing with:
Well, that certainly makes me feel a lot better.
Now I just have to hope the wind doesn't suck too much.
So this coming week is my "make it or break it" week. I'm going to do the best I can, and I'll see how I feel at the end of the week. I'm feeling a little better about the bike now – still apprehensive, but better. This coming week I have my 20 mile run, which I know I can do, my long swim, which I know I can do (my biggest challenge with the swim is not having a panic attack about sharks), and my century ride – which, realistically, if I can make it to 80+ miles, I'll be happy.
I will try to update again next weekend after I'm done. Until then, happy training!

Our flagship report maps health trends, charts progress towards achieving health
goals and provides an advance base for health policy
Full report
With people living longer and with multiple chronic conditions, medical care has become more complex and is being offered in diverse settings. Over the last decades, health-care workers have had to adapt to this changing landscape and continuously learn to improve patient safety. On the first ever World Patient Safety Day, being marked on 17 September, we see how those working in the health sector are committed to keeping patients safe from avoidable harm.
On 16–19 September 2019, health ministers and high-level representatives of the 53 Member States of the WHO European Region, along with partner organizations and civil society, will gather for the 69th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe (RC69).
Cervical cancer is among the most common types of cancer affecting women in the WHO European Region, with 69 000 new cases and 30 000 deaths estimated for 2018 alone. Yet unlike most other types of cancer, it is vaccine-preventable.
Danish health authorities have launched a media campaign to restore public confidence in response to negative media reports questioning the safety of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and a related decline in the number of teenage girls getting it. The vaccine protects against cervical cancer.
Progress towards the elimination of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) in the European Region cannot be monitored or achieved without accurate, subnational data that is reported in good time to the national and global levels.
Preparing for biosafety accidents helps to prevent them and limit their impact should they occur. In the WHO European Region, 12 countries plan to keep polioviruses for vaccine manufacturing or critical research purposes after the virus is no longer circulating anywhere in the wild; to do so, they must apply for certification of a poliovirus essential facility (PEF), where the materials can be safely stored and contained.
Time is of the essence when someone has a heart attack. Denmark has achieved great success by looking beyond the operating table to ensure patients receive the best care as fast as possible.
Lowering the mortality of heart attacks starts outside of the hospital walls as experience from Denmark shows.
Health authorities from Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) have announced a provisional 15% increase in uptake for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in just over a year to the current 65%. This means that two thirds of eligible girls this year in Ireland received their first of 2 recommended doses to be fully protected from several HPV strains that can lead to cervical cancer, among other serious diseases. Reporting of final numbers for 2018 is pending.
A new European taskforce is being set up to highlight and strengthen the economic case for primary health care. Primary health care is health care received in the community, usually from family doctors, community nurses, staff in local clinics or other health professionals. It is an essential part of people-centred health systems and vital to working towards universal health coverage.
"Getting ready for the next influenza pandemic is our collective responsibility. Let's ask ourselves 3 basic questions: are we prepared for a severe pandemic? Are our pandemic plans revised? Are Europe and the world ready to respond tomorrow?"
The Seventy-first World Health Assembly took place on 21–26 May 2018 in Geneva, Switzerland. Over the course of the 6 days, delegates charted a new course for the Organization.
From immunization superheroes to supermoms, countless individuals helped ensure that European Immunization Week (EIW) on 23–29 April 2018 was a great success in keeping vaccines at the top of political and personal agendas across the WHO European Region.
Even in countries with robust health-care systems there are undocumented individuals who are not able to access routine care or basic prescription medicines.
As part of their efforts to tackle childhood obesity and promote healthy diets, 5 Nordic countries have launched a joint initiative to monitor food marketing to children in their countries using fully comparable methods. The aim is to use the monitoring to inform evaluation policy decisions on this topic.
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for 40 million deaths globally every year. Tackling NCDs is a global priority, but despite this, investment is still lacking and action is needed to reach the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal target 3.4 of reducing premature deaths from NCDs by one third by 2030. In response, Denmark is co-hosting the WHO Global Dialogue in Copenhagen from 9 to 11 April 2018.
When Eigil Rosegar Poulsen first heard about the controversy over the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination in Denmark, he became quite upset. Still, the debate sparked a desire to share his story. In 2010 Eigil lost his wife, Trine, to cervical cancer—a disease caused by the HPV virus—leaving him to raise their three daughters alone. Though the WHO-recommended vaccine against the most common types of the virus was only introduced in Denmark's child vaccination schedule in 2009, far too late for his wife to benefit, Eigil is a strong advocate for vaccination.
A gathering of 43 mayors and 85 high-level political representatives met in Copenhagen on 13 February to share experiences and ideas for how to place health and well-being at the heart of urban development. This group adopted a visionary document that presents a transformative approach to creating happier and healthier cities for all.
More than 30 mayors will be attending WHO/Europe's Summit of Mayors on 12–13 February 2018 at UN City in Copenhagen, Denmark, alongside a further 80 high-ranking politicians, advisors and other civic representatives. Together they represent almost 125 million people, from Paraguay to the Russian Federation.
The number of countries in the Region that have demonstrated interruption of measles and rubella continues to increase and now stands at 42 for measles and 37 for rubella. However, Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Regional Director for Europe, warns that immunization coverage is decreasing. 1 in every 15 children still does not receive the first vaccination dose against measles and rubella on time.
In July 2017, WHO issued new guidelines and updates on the management of advanced HIV infection, HIV drug resistance and transitioning to new antiretroviral drugs. To establish a pool of clinical consultants and update them with the latest WHO recommendations, WHO/Europe organized a master training for 23 practicing HIV clinicians from 14 HIV priority countries in the Region. The training took place on 28–30 August in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Delegates at the World Health Assembly approved the Organization's proposed programme budget of US$4421.5 million for the biennium 2018-2019. This proposed budget sets out the Organization's priorities in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. It includes increased investments in the new WHO Health Emergencies Programme and combatting antimicrobial resistance.
The Danish Cancer Society is orchestrating a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the high levels of alcohol consumption among young Danes and to draw attention to teenagers' easy access to alcoholic beverages. The upcoming report from the WHO Regional Office for Europe, "Policy in action – a tool for measuring alcohol policy implementation", shows that Denmark has implemented very few of the recommended policy options to address the availability of alcohol. The Danish Cancer Society is therefore advocating an increase in the minimum legal purchase age, an effective means of reducing alcohol consumption and related harm among young people.
On 6 May 2017 Dr João Breda, Head of the WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases and Programme Manager for Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity at the WHO Regional Office for Europe, was awarded the Gerlev Award 2017 in recognition of his work in encouraging WHO Member States to adopt the Physical activity strategy for the WHO European Region 2016–2025.
This report summarizes outputs from the WHO Regional Office for Europe Intercountry workshop on school health in the prevention of NCDs meeting for national coordinators of child and adolescent health programmes of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation, the Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on 23-25 August 2016.
On World Hearing Day, 3 March 2017, Dr Jill Farrington, Coordinator, Noncommunicable Conditions at WHO/Europe, addressed members of the Danish Parliament regarding the need for public health action to make listening safe and reduce hearing impairment.
The Danish national alcohol conference is an annual event organized by Alcohol & Society, a nongovernmental organization with the vision of a Denmark free from alcohol-related harm. The 2017 conference was held on 24–25 January in Copenhagen, Denmark, and was attended by practitioners, researchers, nongovernmental organizations and policy-makers from different regions of the country. The overarching theme of the conference was alcohol and inequalities. People with lower socioeconomic status suffer a proportionally greater burden of alcohol-attributable mortality, making reducing the harmful use of alcohol an important goal for reducing health inequalities as well as for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
WHO is saddened by the death of Dr Halfdan T. Mahler on 14 December 2016. Dr Mahler served as Director-General of WHO from 1973-1988.

Today, on World Polio Day, all WHO Member States and partners pause to celebrate the great progress made towards the global goal of eradicating poliomyelitis (polio). The WHO European Region has much to celebrate: its polio-free status was reconfirmed at the June 2016 meeting of the European Regional Certification Commission for Poliomyelitis Eradication (RCC).
Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess of Denmark and the WHO Regional Director for Europe opened the 66th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe (RC66), welcoming over 400 delegates to Copenhagen, Denmark. The overarching theme was the central role of health in "leaving no one behind" as countries embark on implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Ageing populations, increased chronicity and multimorbidities challenge health services to continuously evolve and adapt. Today 80% of the disease burden is due largely to preventable noncommunicable diseases in the WHO European Region, while the average of preventable hospitalizations for diseases such as hypertension and diabetes has reached 73% in some countries. These changes place new demands on primary care in terms of engaging patients, designing comprehensive flow of care, organizing providers in multidisciplinary teams to secure qualifications and competencies, and aligning incentives while ensuring access to high-quality health and social services.
On 8–10 June 2016, WHO/Europe held the first "flagship" course on Equity in Health in All Policies (eHiAP).

The soft skills required for policy implementation are agenda-setting, stakeholder analysis and negotiating with a wide range of policy-makers. The participants included individuals from the Nordic and Baltic countries who work at national, regional and local levels to shape and implement policies to improve health outcomes.
An expert advisory group met in Lyngby,
Denmark on 10 June 2016 to review a draft train-the-trainer toolkit,

The town of Tasiilaq, Greenland, sits perched on the shore of a natural harbor in a dramatic fjord. It is the most populous community on Greenland's east coast, with just slightly more than 2000 inhabitants. It is also home to a concerning number of tuberculosis (TB) cases, with a TB rate of 900 cases per 100 000 population. In comparison, the average rate among the 53 countries of the WHO European Region was 37 per 100 000 in 2014.
Despite major efforts, the number of tuberculosis (TB) cases in Greenland continues to increase. Greenland's Ministry of Health has invited a team of experts from WHO/Europe, the Danish Lung Association and Statens Serum Institute Denmark to assess the situation and to advise on actions to end TB.

Same-sex marriage: 7 states OK ban -- but it trails in Arizona
Ballot measures to ban same-sex marriage were winning in seven of eight states late Tuesday, with voters in Arizona poised to be the first in the nation to turn down such a measure.
The measures, all constitutional amendments to limit marriage to heterosexuals and some to ban domestic partnerships, passed in Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee and were winning in Colorado, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Idaho. A proposal to create domestic partnerships in Colorado appeared headed to defeat with just 45 percent of the vote when more than half of the state's precincts had reported their results.
The votes came at the end of a campaign season marked by important developments in the arenas of same-sex marriage and gay politics.
On Oct. 25, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples deserved the same rights as married couples in the state -- though their unions don't have to be called marriages.
And this month, influential evangelical Christian pastor Ted Haggard, who helped draft Colorado's proposed ban, told his church he was guilty of sexual immorality after admitting he paid a male prostitute for a massage and methamphetamine. Haggard has resigned the leadership of the Colorado Springs, Colo., megachurch he founded.
Gay rights advocates called the apparent victory in Arizona -- where a ban was trailing 48 percent to 52 percent with 95 percent of precincts reporting -- a big win.
"Symbolically, it is as important as the Massachusetts marriage decision," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights group.
"It is a victory against the forces seeking to take away rights and benefits for unmarried couples in the state," said Kyrsten Sinema, chair of Arizona Together and a member of the state's Legislature.
Proponents of the ban said they plan to try again.
"Sometimes the dynamics don't come together for a ballot measure and it's not really a reflection" of voters in the state, said the Rev. Louis Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition, which backed the amendments across the country. "I would say we'll run it again, probably in two years."
Voters in 19 states have approved such bans in earlier elections, and passage of seven Tuesday would mean same-sex marriage is constitutionally banned in a majority of states.
The remaining states may present more of a challenge. In many, it is more difficult to get measures onto the ballot. And in California and Florida, supporters of such bans failed to gather enough voter signatures to place the measures on the ballot.
This year, courts in New York, Washington and California turned back efforts by same-sex marriage activists to challenge state marriage laws -- though California's highest court has yet to rule on the issue.
The New Jersey ruling broke the trend. It was similar to a Vermont Supreme Court ruling in 1999 that allowed legislators to grant same-sex couples equal status through civil unions rather than marriage.
Conservative candidates across the country tried in their final advertising efforts to trade on anti-gay sentiment -- some invoking a supposed "homosexual agenda" on the part of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, who was expected to become House speaker if Democrats won a majority Tuesday. Pelosi supports marriage for same-sex couples.

NASSCO Readies Newly Christened USNS Lewis B. Puller for Sea Trials
By GIDGET FUENTES, Special Correspondent
SAN DIEGO — Dozens of plastic-wrapped mattresses stacked on its mission deck this week hinted at the progress in readying USNS Lewis B. Puller for its next important milestone of sea trials.
"We are about 96 percent complete," Dennis DuBard, General Dynamics NASSCO spokesman, said during a Feb. 9 tour of the vessel, berthed at NASSCO's shipyard across a small channel adjacent to San Diego Naval Base. "It's coming together."
Folding chairs remained aboard, remnants of its Feb. 7 christening attended by builder representatives, shipyard workers and naval officials hailing the Navy's first afloat forward staging base (AFSB). While the third in the class of mobile landing platform (MLP) ships, the 764-foot-long Puller is the first designed with a flight deck and a flexible, multipurpose mission deck to support operations including mine countermeasures and special operations.
NASSCO plans to deliver the ship to the Navy in June, if all goes well during builder's trials in April and acceptance trials in May, DuBard said. Sea trials will take place off Southern California when the crew gets Puller underway to ensure the ship's systems, from lights to pumps and engines, work as planned. "The operational side to that really comes more once you get delivery to the Navy," he said, before crossing the brow and stepping onto the main mission deck.
The mission deck covers the area below the flight deck and provides the ship with a wide expanse and room for storage of minesweeping sleds, vehicles, equipment and magazine spaces. Two cranes, at 12.5-ton and 40-ton capabilities, provide lift for minesweeping sleds, rigid-hull inflatable boats and other heavy equipment. Above is the flight deck, which sits on 13 stanchions and hovers about three or four stories above the mission deck.
The expanse gives the Puller a unique look among the ships operated by the Navy and Military Sealift Command. DuBard likened it to "a patio cover with a flight deck." Shipyard workers during construction had fashioned the flight deck together from eight blocks set into place by two massive cranes.
The flight deck is designed to support four helicopters, with two landing spots and two spots to stow MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopters. At the forward end, on 05 level, is a hangar bay large enough to store two MH-53E helicopters with wings folded or one helicopter with its massive wings fully extended. The bay is tall enough to enable mechanics to work on the helicopter engines and rotor blades.
"The ship is night-vision compatible. It is set up for night flights," DuBard said, noting several lights and visual landing aids outside the helicopter control tower that sits above the hangar bay.
The hangar bay is part of the large, eight-level "accommodations" block near the bow. It provides berthing, staterooms, offices and briefing rooms, supply and repair spaces, helicopter tower, fuel storage, a galley and mess spaces for 250 military personnel. The machinery space includes chilled water and evaporator systems to produce fresh water from saltwater for drinking and cooling in the forward block.
Berthing spaces are nearly identical to other ships in the Navy, with "coffin" racks stacked three high and lounge areas with card tables.
"They are pretty much what you'd find on any Navy ship," DuBard said, standing in a 24-person berthing area with an adjacent shower and restroom head facility.
The smell of fresh paint hung in the air. Bunks were bare but soon will get the new mattresses, part of the furnishings the builder provides.
The ship has a chiefs' mess and officers' mess. In the enlisted mess, on the 04 level, chairs awaited a dozen tables bolted to the floor while a handful of workers finished some detailed work on the stainless steel equipment. Some of the officer staterooms are sizable, with attached private heads. In fact, there are several staterooms, largely to accommodate a larger number of commanders expected to deploy depending on the mission package.
The basic operation of the AFSB ship is the same as the first two mobile landing platform ships. Puller "essentially is still an MLP," said DuBard, a retired captain and former commanding officer of amphibious assault ship USS Peleliu. "The underwater hull is exactly the same."
It retains ballast capabilities similar to the first two MLPs, which have a module to launch and recover air-cushioned landing craft with several inches of water across the deck.
The AFSB represents what Navy officials talk about "payload over platform," DuBard said. "This is the classic example. It's more about the payload than it is about the platform itself, in that you can add the payload capability without altering the platform," he said. "It's a very adaptable ship."
Officials expect Puller will replace USS Ponce, a former amphibious transport dock ship deployed to the Middle East and serving as a testbed platform and an interim AFSB supporting mine countermeasures and other missions.
"This is a very adaptable ship that they can use for any number of things," DuBard said.
NASSCO will build the second AFSB — and the fourth ship in the MLP class — with a $498 million contract issued in December. Construction is expected to begin later this year, and the ship will closely resemble Puller.
"I think most of the changes are going to be below deck," he said, adding, "We are still in the detailed design phase."

Tech has been blamed for the demise of monogamy and fidelity, but now it seems like tech could be helping you keep your relationship safe and know when your sexual partner is cheating.
There is a new Spanish-made smart mattress named the Durmet Smarttress that lets you know when it's being used.
If your partner isn't faithful, at least your mattress is
The smart mattress is connected to an app on your smartphone which receives a notification when it senses that it is being used, which could help you catch a cheating partner or a very intrusive cleaner.
The Durmet Smarttress has a so-called Lover Detection System which has 24 hidden ultrasonic sensors built into the mattress's springs. These sensors detect when the smart mattress is being used and then send an ultrasonic wave to the app to alert you that your mattress is being used. You'll get movement data on your smartphone from the Durmet Smarttress like duration, intensity and impact per minute.
The Durmet Smarttress is currently only available in Spain for $1 750 per mattress. The company currently consists of 10 employees who manufacture an average of 70 of these smart mattresses a day, with the company hoping to expand world-wide in the future.

Last month Jetstar began flying direct from Avalon Airport to Hobart and Adelaide, bringing two more cities that little bit closer to communities in Geelong, the Surf Coast and Wyndham regions.
There's an unexpected industry taking place at Avalon Airport, one that is enjoying good growth, and is making use of the vast surrounding landscape and 1950s hangars that sit solid under the extraordinary sky.
In November last year a famous landmark on the Princes Fwy towards Geelong upped and disappeared. People were concerned, emails were written, phones were called and questions were tweeted. Where had the big blue jumbo gone?
The consternation was understandable. That old Boeing 747-338 had a history as bright and exciting as its one-time Nalanji Dreaming livery, and many people had, over its many years of flight formed nostalgic relationships with it.
If you're looking to make 2016 your year of simple travel, Avalon Airport is very pleased to assist, with two more fabulous destinations announced by Jetstar at the end of last year.
From 27 March Jetstar will fly direct to Hobart and Adelaide from Avalon, meaning the airport's trademark "flying made easy" can now get passengers to these two wonderful cities without any hassle.
What a fantastic year it's been at Avalon Airport!
It began stunningly with the hosting of the Australian International Airshow, which brought beautiful planes to the sky, hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area, and injected millions into the region.
Avalon Airport has just unveiled its latest exciting project – a $200,000 upgrade of the terminal and departure lounge.
This month Jetstar begins flying direct to the Gold Coast from Avalon Airport.
In the exciting new deal struck by Jetstar, the State Government and Linfox, Jetstar is to announce two new destinations, with many local residents bidding for the Gold Coast as their first choice.
The region is a-buzz following the recent announcement that Jetstar has signed a ten year agreement to extend their Avalon Airport operations until at least 2025.

2-start pitchers to pick up in fantasy
Is your fantasy starting pitching staff struggling? Or maybe you just need to gain some ground in strikeouts? Then consider adding these hurlers, who are all scheduled to make two starts in Week 13.
12-team mixed leagues
Mike Leake (vs. MIN, vs. MIL)
After suffering through a rough three-start stretch (May 16-27) during which he posted a 12.86 ERA and a 2.50 WHIP, Leake has gotten back on track, allowing three runs or fewer in each of his past five outings. Although the Reds righty cannot be relied upon for a high strikeout rate, control has never been an issue, as he boasts a career 2.3 BB/9 mark. Leake does not deserve a permanent spot on 12-team mixed league rosters at this time, but he's a fine starting option when the matchups are favorable, especially in two-start weeks. The Brewers rank 26th in the Majors in runs this season and 28th in average. And though the Twins have been a middle-of-the-pack offense overall, only one team (the Mets) has scored fewer runs on the road.
Kendall Graveman (vs. COL, vs. SEA)
Graveman's strong performance this spring earned him a spot in the A's Opening Day starting rotation, but his April struggles resulted in a demotion to the Minors. Since being recalled, however, the 24-year-old righty has registered six quality starts in seven tries, and he's been particularly sharp of late, pitching to a 2.31 ERA through five June starts. Next week's opponents -- the Mariners and Rockies -- rank 25th and 28th, respectively, in runs scored on the road.
Video: OAK@TEX: Graveman allows two runs over seven-plus
Marco Estrada (vs. BOS, @DET)
Fresh off a dominant performance against the Rays on Wednesday, during which he tossed 8 2/3 shutout innings, Estrada will face a tough test next week. His opponents -- the Red Sox and Tigers -- rank in the top half of the American League in runs scored and in the top five in average in June. These matchups make Estrada a borderline option when it comes to 12-team mixed leagues, but his recent numbers are too impressive to discount. As a result, I would ultimately lean toward starting him in all mixed leagues with 12 or more teams. After all, the Toronto righty has notched five quality starts in his past six outings, earning four wins along the way.

• Get complete fantasy coverage
Deeper mixed leagues
Nathan Karns (vs. CLE, @NYY)
The matchup on the road against the Yankees would scare me off from Karns in 12-team mixed leagues, but in deeper formats, I think he's worth the risk for this two-start week. Karns still needs to learn how to pitch deeper into games, as he's averaging only 5 2/3 innings per start. On the whole, however, his first full big league season has been an overwhelming success. Plus, the Indians' offense has been quiet lately, with Cleveland ranked 14th in the AL in runs scored this month.
Mat Latos (vs. SF, @CHC)
The 2015 season has been frustrating for Latos and his fantasy owners. The Marlins righty posted a 6.12 ERA in his first nine starts before missing several weeks due to injury. But since his return from the DL, the righty has been better (4.12 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 20-to-6 K/BB ratio in 19 2/3 frames). These matchups are not particularly favorable, which is why I would avoid Latos in shallower leagues. That said, his solid big league track record and strikeout potential give him value in deeper formats.

Kyle Hendricks (@NYM, vs. MIA)
Of all the pitchers discussed here, I'm the least confident in Hendricks, so he's more of a very deep mixed league or National League-only option. But despite his recent inconsistency, he certainly has the potential to help fantasy owners next week. Both the Mets and Marlins rank in the bottom third of the NL in runs scored, meaning Hendricks has the matchups on his side.

In a nationwide study of nearly 10,000 nonprofit organizations conducted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) in 2016, on average only 46% of the donors who gave in 2015 also gave in 2016! AFP reports only 5% of their sample with retention rates above 68.5%.
Those are shocking numbers. A 46% retention rate in one year means an organization would have to replace 54% of their donors in the following year just to keep even with last year. That percentage is probably even higher because often new donors don't give at the same level of many past donors.
Advocace's own research on two sectors of Christian nonprofit organizations indicates some ministries fare better. We found retention rates in the 63 – 67% range. Much better.
But, still, that means a ministry needs to replace about one-third of its donors every year just to stay even with the previous year's donor-base size. That's a huge challenge when one is competing for income with many other nonprofit organizations.
Many ministries have been distracted from addressing their donor retention rates because they see their gift income increasing every year. But if your ministry's gift income is increasing while your number of donors is flat or decreasing, that means you are relying more on the same or even fewer donors who have increased their giving. This works well in the short-term but can hurt your ministry significantly in the long-term.
Do you know what your donor retention rate is?
To find out, you simply list all donors who gave, for example, in 2016 and check how many of them also gave in 2017. How does your rate compare to the AFP numbers or the percentages obtained from Advocace's research?
So, how do you go about improving your retention rate? Here are four ways:
In addition to the 2016/2017 rate calculated above, compute the same rate for 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. Has your retention rate increased, decreased or remained flat over the past three years?
It's unlikely that you will see a dramatic increase in one year. But, for example, an improvement of just 1% will mean more income for your ministry. Advocace recommends setting a goal in the 1 – 3% range. Even 1 – 2% a year over five years will make a big difference.
There are so many ways you can do this:
Improving donor retention rates is an absolute must for healthy nonprofit ministries.
