The start of something beautiful
My travelling partner Kristie Cobb (Georgia AquariumVP) and I arrived in Brazil today for the Abrolhos 2011 expedition. The flight in from Atlanta is long (10hrs) and a red-eye, so we arrived a little the worse for wear in Rio. As we flew, I was considering the similarities and differences between Brazil and Australia. Brazil's great mountain range is to the west and is immense in both length and height: the Andes. It circumscribes the Amazon basin, the most spectacular crucible of biodiversity on the planet. It drains to the eastern seaboard, which has some coral reefs (including the ones we'll survey), but nothing like the Great Barrier Reef. By contrast, Australia is mostly a giant flat arid zone (Google the awesomely ominous sounding "yilgarn kraton" to learn more) with its "great" mountain range on the eastern coast, where a once-active subduction zone scraped off enough Pacific sea floor to make a strip of lan on which >75% of Aussies live. I say "great" because even the highest of the Snowy Mountains is a pimple compared to the Andes. There are rainforests in appropriate microclimate pockets along the great dividing range, sure, but not like the vast unending ones we flew over today; there just isn't the volume of reliable rain (recent floods notwithstanding). Partly as a result of that tiny eastward drainage and low rainfall, the tropical coastal waters of north eastern Australia are nutrient poor and therefore ideal for coral reefs; accordingly, the Great Barrier Reef is the Amazon rainforest of reefs. They are two countries with priceless biodiversity treasures, of totally different kinds, as dictated by the constraints of their respective geological histories and their prevailing climates.
We came within three miles of the mighty Amazon today; it was just a pity that it was a vertical three miles!
During an awkwardly long layover in Rio de Janeiro, we decided to bail on the airport and make a lightning visit to the famous Christ the Redeemerstatue; a gargantuan art deco edifice that presides over the spectacular sprawl of beachfront hi-rises and mountain-clinging favelasbelow. I'm really glad we did too, because the views were stunning and the statue itself a marvel; I'm not a religious guy, but you have to admire the inspiration that drives people to conceive of and build such things on that tiny inhospitable peak at the top of Corcovado.
After that we made our connection to Vitoria, in the state of Espiritu Santu, north of Rio. Here we will meet up with our Harbor Branch and Brazilian colleagues for a research co-ordination meeting tomorrow; then a short charter flight to meet the R/V Seward Johnsonat our port of departure in Bahia state. Right now though, it's caipirinha o'clock!

I'll be the first to admit that I was kind of a weird kid.
I saw my first horror movie when I was six.
My older brother, twelve at the time, was just entering his rebellious stage and interested in anything and everything that our worry-wart of a mother was against. Naturally, gory movies were at the top of the list, right next to Satan worship, child sacrifice, drugs, and rock music. Yes, our mommy-dearest was a Beaver Cleaver wannabe; a white-picket-fence, stay-at-home mother; the sort of woman that cooked pies for Sunday school fundraisers in high heels and pretty dresses.
Rob, in all his pre-teen suburbanite angst, thought it was an excellent idea to show his little brother the godfather of gore flicks: Herschell Gordon Lewis's Blood Feast. He brought it into our room one day after school and locked the door to keep me from running away. At that point, we had a TV and VCR in our shared bedroom. I remembered whining about how "scary movies are bad" and "Mom and Dad are gonna get angry when they find out, Rob."
We got about halfway through before Mom burst into our room unannounced. When she saw what we were watching, she started screaming and howling in a way I've never heard before or since. She grabbed Rob by the ear and dragged him out into the hallway, where she grilled him on where he'd gotten the tape. Turns out, since he was just twelve years old and neither looked nor sounded like he was seventeen, Rob had actually stolen Blood Feast from Blockbuster. Cue the screaming. He was grounded for six months. No friends over, no phone, no going out. He was to go straight to school in the morning and had to come home immediately after. And even I was inadvertently punished, because Mom sold our TV and VCR and donated the money to church that Sunday.
In spite of all that had happened, in spite of the fact that I'd only seen maybe half of Blood Feast before Mom brought everything to a grinding halt, I was mystified.
A few years later, when I was nine or ten years old, I became buddies with a kid from school who practically worshiped George A. Romero and John Carpenter. His name was John and his mom went to church with my parents, who approved of our friendship because of this. On the weekends I'd go over to his house and we would watch horror movies until dawn. Even though he had a huge collection, at the rate we were watching these movies we quickly ran out of options and had to start walking to Blockbuster to get new ones.
John was a real weird guy - even weirder than myself at that age - but he was good friend and the only other person at school that adored movies like I did. We got along just fine. Became best friends, even. He drew some disturbing stuff and said he had a lot of bad dreams, but I just chalked it up to him being a fan of horror movies. When he was a little older, John started writing weird, violently sexual stories about girls we knew from school. I got freaked out when he showed me and told him how much trouble he'd get in if an adult found his notebooks, so he promised to get rid of them and didn't mention it again for a while.
When he was fourteen, John's parents divorced, and it was nasty. To make matters worse, he was caught right in the middle of it and ended up feeling simultaneously guilty and unwanted. He grew quiet at school and spent most of his time there scribbling in notebooks. I was afraid he'd started writing those bad stories again but didn't bring it up when we sat together at lunch.
And then one day he just didn't come to school at all. I didn't see him for a week straight and was beginning to get worried. By Thursday I decided to stop by his house to see if everything was all right, but, to my surprise, he was waiting outside on the front steps when school let out. He looked like his old self again. When I asked him were he'd been for the past week, he said that there had been a family emergency on his mom's side, and they had to drive a state over at a moment's notice.
"Everything's all right now," he said.
John was at school on Friday and asked if I wanted to come over and rent some tapes to watch that night. We talked about the latest horror flicks all day and walked straight to Blockbuster after school.
Between us, we'd seen nearly every horror movie on the rental shelves. What little we hadn't seen didn't look appealing. I was about to settle on The Evil Dead for the fifth time when John came over with a new film neither of us had seen yet. I guess I overlooked it the first time around, or maybe it just didn't look very interesting to me, but we ended up renting it because it was a horror movie and because we were bored.
For those of you who don't know, Angel Heart is about a private detective named Angel who is hired by the devil to find a missing man by the name of Johnny Favourite. The detective finds lead after cold lead, because each person he interviews ends up dead. He gets mixed up with a young voodoo priestess who just so happens to be Favourite's daughter, there's an infamously graphic sex scene, and by the end of the movie it turns out that Angel is actually Johnny Favourite. Favourite sold his soul to the devil and lost his memory after an accident in the war, and the devil is just trying to collect his dues. Angel (Favourite) races back home to find his lover (daughter) dead and that he's been blamed for all the murders.
I didn't think it was bad, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. On the other hand, John became totally obsessed with it. He wouldn't stop talking about Angel Heart. He raved on and on and on, singing its praises to anyone who would listen (that is to say, me). For the next two weeks, all I would hear is Angel Heart this and Angel Heart that. He rented it over and over again and would sometimes watch it twice in a single night.
And just like that, John's strange behavior started all over again. He resumed writing those gross stories, this time in full view of teachers and other kids. He got caught and had all his notebooks confiscated by the principal, who suggested to his mom that he see a psychiatrist.
He didn't care.
John grew out his hair and attempted (unsuccessfully) to grow a beard like Robert de Niro's character from the movie. When I spoke to him one morning and he demanded that I start calling him Johnny, I lost it and told him to shut up about Angel Heart. He stopped talking to me after that, even when tried to apologize in the hallway later that day. John apparently stopped bathing as well, because it got to the point that you could smell him before you saw him. Girls talked about him in hushed whispers when he walked past. People made fun of him until he pulled a knife on a guy who started pestering him in the cafeteria. After that they just left him alone. It was like mentioning his name was a taboo, because people would stop talking and give you 'the look' if you did.
Everything came to a boiling point one afternoon in September. School had just started back and I hadn't spoken to John in over five months. When I passed him on my way to history class, I was stunned when he stopped me to say hi.
"Uh, hey, John. How've you been?" I said.
"I told you. It's Johnny."
I glanced down at his shirt, saw the words Angel Heart, and nearly flipped my shit. That was the last time I actually saw John. The rest of what I'm going to tell you is he-said, she-said rumor, most likely fabrication with some inkling of the truth.
Apparently John went home from school early that day. His mom said she didn't actually see him come in, only heard his footsteps on the stairs and the slam of his bedroom door. She thought nothing of it until she called him down for dinner and he came to the table drenched in blood.
John slaughtered a chicken with a straight razor in his bedroom and proceeded to draw 'voodoo' symbols on the walls and floor in the chicken's blood. She ran back downstairs, intending to take him to a hospital, when John attacked her from behind and slit her throat with a knife. She would have died if a neighbor hadn't seen the whole thing go down from their window. The police spent a long time searching for him, but John was nowhere to be found.
Ms. White recovered, but she and the entire community was traumatized. The neighborhood lived in fear for a long time, but eventually John's story has gone the route of urban legend. Some people have theories that attempt to explain his whereabouts. A particularly popular idea is that he went crazy and ran off into the woods behind town, where he presumably died of starvation and the elements.
The only reason I'm telling you this story all these years later is because of what happened to me the other night. I was out shopping with my wife and wanted to grab a movie before we headed home. We stopped by the bargain bin and, lo and behold, there was a DVD copy of Angel Heart staring me smack in the face. Just seeing the cover was enough to bring all those memories crashing back like a tidal wave. I wanted to watch it again, just to see if I could get some kind of grasp around what had happened to my best friend so many years ago.
I watched it with my wife.
I think it was a mistake, because now she won't stop talking about that damn movie. I keep finding books about black magic tucked away neatly in the back of the closet. Yesterday I found a journal beneath the mattress. It was loaded with page after page of bizarre rites and religious symbols.
Today I came home from work and found her drenched in blood, hacking away at a chicken in the back yard. I'm too afraid to confront her because I fear that I'll be next.

Yapping Yak
February 19, 2012Posted by on
MOST CREEPY thing happened this morning.
So I bought a carton of Omega-3 Organic Eggs from Shaw's. It is NOT farmer's market where the hens lay eggs because they had sex. I love hard-boiled eggs and am determined to raise my cholesterol level, so I typically boil 6 a batch and stored them in a fridge and eat them when I desire.
I cracked open one this morning. Smooth. I cracked open the second one. Why is there a smudge on my egg.
Omg it is something sticking from inside, like a small eye-ball, with only a layer of eggwhite covering it.
I then squeeze it a bit. The mass inside is definitely not a coherent.
I feel a chill throughout my spine. *shivers. The thing quickly ended in the trash bin. A morbid desire to cut it open arose later, and I easily suppressed it.
DID I JUST COOK A FETUS? Was it still viable when I bought them home? Took them out and put them in warm water and boiled them to being hardened after 13 minutes?
I MAY HAVE COOKED A FETUS! But a better question is, how can I just get hand on a chicken fetus? Aren't the FARM OWNERS SUPPOSED TO KEEP BOYS OUT?
Someone told me, maybe they fertilized themselves.
Then I threw away a genetically significant sample. Sigh.

Does IBM MQ currently support MSAs?
Answer by Herm Anand (399) | Jun 08, 2018 at 10:56 AM
Currently, MSAs have not been tested with MQ and hence they are not supported with MQ. Even though Windows MSAs may work with IBM MQ, it is recommended that you do not use them with IBM MQ until it is supported. The same goes for "Group Managed Service Accounts" also.

"I still have a dream today that one day war will come to an end, that [they] will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, that nations will no longer rise up against nations, neither will they study war any more." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "A Christmas Sermon on Peace"
Lead to Life invites you to participate in our live alchemy ceremony where together, we will, finish transforming weapons into 50 shovels. Our metal casting artist James Brenner and blacksmith Mike Martin (director of RawTools) will lead us in a live demonstration of making tools from weapons. 50 years after Dr. King's assassination, we will fulfill the prophecy of turning "swords into plowshares."
Community members from the Atlanta area who have been directly impacted by gun violence are invited to offer disabled weapons into the fire to be transformed. Other community members are invited to gather in solidarity and prayer to bear witness. The shovels we make together will be used two days later on Sunday, April 8th, 2018, as part of our tree planting ceremonies, where we will plant 50 trees at The King Center along with sites impacted by violence across Atlanta.
Join us as we gather in prayer, in grief, in praise, and in creative action to reimagine violence in our city, our country, and our world.
This ceremony is part of Lead to Life's week of Healing Justice gatherings taking place April 4 - 9. Click here for information and registration for our other events: including The People's Supper, our Tree Planting Ceremony, and Permaculture Action Day.

Time out!
You know how some things just stick with you?
The things, the people, the lessons that come at just the right time...
They end up burning a place in your mind and your heart and you'll never forget them...
My teaching pastor, David Whiting, just finished up a phenomenal sermon series on parenting. It's been one of those sticky things for me. This series has given me SO. MUCH. WISDOM. and practical application for centering my parenting around the Gospel.
I'll never forget it.
Partly because I fully intend to watch it three thousand more times...
But mostly because I learned that the WORLD'S MOST PERFECT PARENT goes to me!
Um. NO, actually. Not even close. It's mostly because I realized how much was MISSING in my parenting.
I thought that because I had loved my children so dearly and talked constantly to them about Jesus prayed so much and read so many books and sought so much counsel from people who have gone before me, the problems in my children's behavior (one, in particular) were SURELY the result of things beyond our control.
We've begun to see, though, that even in our exceedingly great love for our kids, Sean and I have been inconsistent in places we hadn't realized before this sermon series (however, it took some serious humbling on my part and God had to do a number on my defenses). And we are very aware now that our inconsistencies have taken a toll on our kids.
I'm so thankful that it doesn't have to end there. God's grace is so amazing.
When Sean and I started putting into practice what we were learning in David's teaching, we began seeing beautiful fruit in our kids' behavior within days. I'm not kidding---SO much has changed already, and it's been incredible!
Which brings me to the new dream that God started pouring into my heart somewhere in the middle of the third sermon in the series. The sermon when, as soon as it was over, I jumped out of my seat in excitement and started squealing in an unthinkably high-pitched voice to my friends who were next to me.
Are you ready for a sneak peek?
I promise not to speak in such a shrill voice this time.
It's called Game Plan: Time-Out Dialogue for Training Young Hearts.
- It's a strategy for dialogue, instead of lecture.
- It's a strategy for modeling clean-slate forgiveness (even when consequences are still necessary).
- It's a strategy for teaching our kids the biblical "why" for every behavior we expect of them and knowing the "why" for ourselves (not to mention, having the "why" accessible and available in the moment).
- It's a strategy for keeping our parenting centered around the Gospel.
There are multiple items that come with this resource, but here's a little glimpse of just one of the pieces...
If this intrigues you at all, I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
I would also love to hear: what are some of the greatest parenting resources you've found?
"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it," (Proverbs 22:6).

So, after watching the women of HB lose to EBS/Skála in Tórshavn, I grabbed a quick bite from a petrol station and battered on up to Toftir for a 3pm kick-off.
Toftir, of course, is the scene of nightmares for many Scots. In 2002 we were under the disastrous management of Berti Vogts and came back from 2 goals down to snatch a draw with the Faroe Islands. I only saw that match on telly but now I was heading to the scene of the crime – the Svangaskarð. As you come into Toftir you wonder where they could possibly put a stadium, but following the signs, you go steeply uphill and there it is.
B68, or Tofta Ítróttarfelag B68, were in deep trouble at the foot of the Effodeildin and were relegation certs, with only 7 points gathered, and this was matchday 20 of 27. In happier times they had made a few appearances in Europe. The last time was in 2004-5 when they went out 11-0 on aggregate to Ventspils of Slovakia in the First Qualifying Round of the UEFA Cup. They have won 3 Faroese titles but the last was in 1992.
On the other hand, the visitors, B36, or Bóltfelagið 1936 Tórshavn, were the reigning champions. They have 11 championships, behind local rivals HB, with 22, and KÍ Klaksvík with 17. They did get through one qualifying round of the UEFA Cup in 2005-6 when they beat ÍBV of Iceland, and one round of the Champions' League the following year when they beat Birkarkara of Malta. B36 were going for the hat-trick of league titles but this was unlikely to happen as they lay off the pace in 4th place.
The game wasn't a classic. Łukasz Cieślewicz, a Pole, scored the only goal in 25 minutes. Although B36 always seemed to have the edge, the relegation favourites came at them strongly in the last 20 minutes and were unlucky not to equalise. Strangely, despite some meaty challenges flying in, B68 escaped without any punishment from the referee, who booked 4 of the away team. The crowd was given on the Faroesoccer website as 360, which seemed to me well over. I concluded that Toftir used the same counting method as Ross County, i.e. they count the eyes.
So that was the end of my 4th and final match of the weekend, and on Monday I would have a lazy day around Tórshavn before heading out to the airport and giving back my massive VW Caddy.
On the way back to Tórshavn I visited the ground of NSÍ Runavík, local rivals of B68, only 3 miles down the road, and also looked in at Skála, which was only a few miles out of my way. NSÍ had actually won 2-0 at Skála that afternoon to keep their title hopes alive. I met many carloads of NSÍ supporters on my way back. Apparently they had a crowd of 440.
There isn't a great deal of choice in the Faroes when it comes to eating so I headed back to Tórshavn and decided to try the 'Irish Pub'. This wasn't one of the 'Plastic Paddy' places which you would normally avoid and there was little if any Irishness on show. It had an excellent selection of beers from Föroya Bjór and reasonably priced fish & chips, burgers etc so it got my vote. A lot of B36 supporters seemed to have found their way here after the game. Anyway it was far, far better than Marco Polo where I had been the night before and which is best avoided. After that it was time to head back up the hill to the Kerjalon Hostel where I still had a couple of drams left in my bottle.
Postscript – Víkingur are the new Effodeildin Champions having won 3-1 at AB Argir in front of a 2000 crowd, to pip KÍ by a single point. AB and B68 are relegated to 1.deild and will be replaced by EB/Streymur and 07 Vestur.
KÍ had led since week 12 but a disastrous 3-1 defeat at AB Argir with 2 weeks to go cost them the title. However KÍ won the Løgmanssteypið (Faroese Cup), beating Víkingur 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Tórsvøllur in front of a healthy, colourful crowd of 4562.

The rebel leader
- By Stephane Leblanc
Rebel leaders are essential to business transformations. They are courageous. They challenge the status quo. They are visionary. They disturb old ways of thinking and doing. They bring organizations to a whole new level of performance. If... they are well supported by the organization.
Companies can do two things: they can embrace them or they can try to put them in a cage or reject them. The latter is the most common occurence as it takes a special leader to manage a rebel leader and I have found that many large traditional organizations often reject the elements that are working the hardest to transform them.
I have been a rebel leader all my life and it has not been an easy journey as I have mostly worked in large organizations where conformity and formality is important. I worked for a large international manufacturing company for more than two decades and I worked hard to be a transformation agent and I led several large operational transformations that created a whole new level of performance as well as high employee engagement and customer loyalty. But the journey was not easy as some of these transformations were achieved against all odds.
I remember one time as a young leader presenting a key project to completely transform our operations on one of our product lines. After a trip to japan to learn lean manufacturing from Toyota, my managers and I had conceived a brand new assembly line for our product. Something what had never been done in our company and had the potential to create a major breakthrough in performance. I went to present this project to our President and his senior executive team. The response I got was not what I expected as the President and his CFO said: this part of our business has never worked, why would it work now? You can do the project, but we don't have any hope that it will work. I remember that day vividly and how I thought to myself: how can the senior executive team not give better support to one of their young leader that is tying to transform the business? How can they be so negative and sarcastic? How can they stop progress with their way of being?
Many other leaders would have been discouraged by such a meeting and would not have had the courage to go ahead with the project. Not me. As a rebel leader, such reaction from the senior leaders of my organization gave me the fuel to continue as I said to myself: I will prove them wrong. How can aligning our operations to the principles of Toyota, the world leaders in lean manufacturing, not work?
This is what I did with my team and the project was a huge success as we reduced cycle time and costs by more than 30 percent and significantly improved quality as well as employee engagement and customer loyalty. It still took 2 years for the President to recognize the accomplishment with my team and he only did so after a key customer commented to him on how impressed he was with the breakthrough that had been done.
Several years later, a new executive joined our organization as Group President and after he got to now me, he said to many of his executives to embrace me as a transformation agent even if I was disturbing them a lot as this is exactly what he expected of me. It is obvious he knew how to manage rebel leaders and I suspect he had also been one himself earlier in his career.
Rebel leaders are essential to the transformation of organizations and they must be managed adequately not to kill their drive and creativity with excessive control and formality.
You need to identify these rebel leaders in your organization and support them in a way that they will flourish and thrive.

This messy bun hat is the bomb!! It's warm, comfy, and super cute! I've had a lot of people ask where I ordered it from! Definitely worth the purchase! Thanks Three Bird Nest!
I got my beanies and went about my day... came home opened my package and really loved the feel of this product and the confetti color is great! Wore to work and my co worker loved it to pieces. She has to order one too.
I really like the material but it fit big on me

Love these beanies! They are super soft and cozy! Definitely recommend for comfy and cute winter looks
Wonderful beanie
Love this hat, I was looking at a couple of different companies for one of these, but when I read your description and that your tag is vegan leather, I was sold! The opening at the top wasn't big enough to accommodate pulling my dreadlocks through, but I had the same type of elastic in my craft supplies so I jut pulled it through the knit and replaced it. Fits great now and something to consider might be different size elastics for thick hair or locks. Thanks ladies!!
I do really like the hat and it is what I wanted. I would just advise that it is a little bigger, make sure you have a lot of hair to bring through the hole! haha
Very cute!
Super comfy fits perfect
I received my hats I absolutely love the way they fit I work in North East Oregon where it can be 12° in the morning and not much warmer in the afternoon pumping gas all day I have comments from both male and female on how nice they look I'll be ordering more soon thank you so much

RationaleSuicides in mental health service settings may indicate a catastrophic system failure and can undermine public confidence in the mental health care system. They are tragic events that cause much grief and distress for families and friends, as well as for mental health professionals and other workers involved in their care, and for other consumers within the mental health service. Although suicides of people in the care of mental health services are not always preventable, it is acknowledged that there is scope for reducing some of these tragic events through improved systems of care.
Health Ministers agreed that 'suicide of a patient in an inpatient unit' is a sentinel event in health care, to be publicly reported by jurisdictions as one of a number of nationally agreed core sentinel events (see appendix 8). This data will be included in the National Sentinel Event Report due to be released by the Australian Council for Safety and Quality in Health Care by the end of 2005. 11
In addition to suicides in inpatient units, adverse events also include suicides occurring while mental health consumers are on day leave, or are absent without leave, and in the days and weeks immediately following discharge. This recognises that preventable suicides can occur as the result of omissions in care, for example as a result of lack of follow-up and continuity of care post-discharge. It is also argued that suicides occurring for periods up to a year following discharge from an inpatient unit are also serious events, particularly where consumers are in the care of community mental health services. Such suicides are commonly perceived by members of the community as a failure of the health care system.
Suicides are often preceded by suicide attempts and/or other acts of deliberate self-harm. However, not all self-harm behaviour is suicidal behaviour or related to suicidal thinking. Improved systems of assessment and management of deliberate self-harming behaviours may help to reduce suicides. A systems oriented approach to reducing suicides, suicide attempts and deliberate-self harm is needed, along with a non-punitive culture that rewards incident reporting and supports its use in continuous quality improvement.
The consultation (refer appendix 4) indicated that improved suicide assessment and management was a shared safety priority across the range of stakeholders consulted.
Strategies developed for this action plan have been conceived to be complementary to efforts under the National Suicide Prevention Strategy and State and Territory suicide prevention policies.Top of page
Table 1: Reducing suicide and self-harm in mental health services and related health service settings
- Reduced suicide in mental health services.
- Reduced suicide in acute health care services.
- Reduced suicide in the days immediately following discharge from inpatient care. 12
- Reduced suicide within 28 days following discharge from inpatient care. 13
- Reduced instances of suicide attempts in mental health services.
- Reduced instances of deliberate self-harm in mental health services.
- Reduced instances of suicide attempts within 28 days following discharge from inpatient care.
- Routine suicide risk assessment and management, and post-discharge follow-up within existing policies, protocols and clinical guidelines.
- Routine consideration of Coroner's recommendations for improving systems of care in mental health services to reduce suicides.
Priority Settings
- Mental health services (including the interface with public and private facilities).
- Acute care services outside mental health services, particularly emergency departments.
- Interface between mental health services and primary care sector, such as general practitioners, and non-government organisations.
- Other relevant settings as applicable, such as ambulance services and other approved transport providers and police services.
Known problem areas
- Specialised mental health services (first day of admission, periods of leave, discharge planning, follow-up post-discharge, continuity of care between hospital and community based services and primary care services such as general practitioners and non-government organisations).
- Issues specific to accident and emergency hospital-based settings (triage, discharge, planning, timely access to mental health assessments and staffing/ resources/ workflow issues).
- Appropriate information and support for consumers and carers post-discharge, especially when current hospitalisation involves suicide attempt in care or prior to care, or where it is the first diagnosis of mental illness for a consumer.
- Absense of identified good practice in suicide risk assessment. Variability in protocols and application of protocols across hospitals/ services and jurisdictions.
- Communication across the jurisdictions.
- Over-reliance on junior/ trainee clinicians in emergency departments and mental health services.
- Risk factors related to the health service environment such as access to hanging points and belts, and other well documented risk factors. 14Top of page
- Identify and disseminate good practice in suicide risk assessment and management, and review existing protocols and clinical guidelines of mental health services and related health services. This will include examining good discharge planning, risk assessment, and outcomes measurement. This will include consideration of variations in good practice related to particular settings, eg child and adolescent mental health services.
- Identify good practice services/ leaders and facilitate their role in influencing clinical and service management change system-wide.
- Implement and use incident monitoring and management systems for monitoring instances of deliberate self-harm, suicide attempts and suicides.
- If a sentinel event of 'suicide in an inpatient unit' occurs ensure that the relevant service policy on open disclosure is followed and post suicide bereavement information resources are available to families and significant others. 15 Ensure appropriate processes are in place to support staff.
- Investigate, using tools such as root cause analysis, all suicides that occur whilst consumers are in the care of hospitals (mental health services and other parts of the hospital) and community components of public specialist mental health services.
- Investigate, using tools such as root cause analysis, all suicides that are known to have occured within one year post-discharge from acute care or specialist mental health service care.
- Develop education and training strategies for supporting services to use tools such as root cause analysis after suicides.
- Develop nationally consistent measures for recording, classifying and reporting of all suicides of mental health consumers in the care of mental health services and acute care, as well as for reporting of suicides within one year of discharge.
- Implement existing clinical practice guidelines for the management of deliberate self-harm. 16
- Ensure that systems are in place to automatically consider Coroner's findings, disseminate lessons, and ensure appropriate changes to systems.
- Evaluate changes in practice and outcomes.Top of page
Complementary/ linked strategies/ activities
- National Suicide Prevention Strategy
- Existing State and Territory suicide prevention strategies
- National Action Plan for Promotion Prevention and Early Intervention in Mental Health 2000.
- Australian Council for Safety and Quality in health Care, particularly national sentinel event reporting, Open Disclosure Standard.
- Existing State/Territory initiatives targeting areas identified in the above strategies, for example South Australian guidelines for reporting and managing sentinel events that include compulsory root cause analysis for suicide within 28 days of discharge.
- Implementation of Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) Clinical Practice Guidelines for management of deliberate self-harm (adults).
- Australasian College for Emergency Medicine Guidelines for the management of deliberate self-harm in young people.
- Existing non-government initiatives, for example Lifeline's 'buddy' program to support consumers post-discharge from mental health services.
11 All jurisdictions have commenced to collect sentinel event data. Two jurisdiction have publicly reported - Department of Human Services (2004) Sentinel Events Program: Annual Report 2002-03, Victorian Government Department of Human Services,
Melbourne, May 2004 and NSW Health (2005) Patient Safety and Clinical Quality Program: First report on incident management in the NSW public health system 2003-2004, Sydney, January 2005.
12 Jurisdictions have differing protocols and information collection requirements. There is consensus that monitoring is needed but the time period for monitoring varies across jurisdictions from 5-28 days post discharge.
13 Agreed Phase 1 KPIs for public specialised mental health services include '28 day readmission'.
14 Refer to National Suicide Prevention Strategy documents and other evidence-based sources.
15 Some resources have been prepared under the National Suicide Prevention Strategy that may be appropriate here.
16 Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, Guidelines for the management of deliberate self-harm in young people and Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, Guidelines for the management of deliberate self-harm in adults.

SUMMER: Summer was a little late in starting, but when it reached some of the high temperatures it really went to town and it must have given all those involved in the tourism business a boost, which was probably needed after a bad start.
TRAFFIC: I have to admit that whilst I was sitting on my sun-chair in the garden, reading the paper and drinking my iced drink, I felt so sorry for all those people stuck in traffic jams. It must have been a horrendous start to their holiday and they also didn't know how it would be coming back.
AMUSING: I did hear one item of new which I would say amused me, be it black humour. Evidently a plane had to return to an airport shortly after taking off as people complained of the strong smell of cannabis on board. I suspect it will appear on some alternative humour programme at some time. Just imagine if the same thing happened in the air-conditioning in the Houses of parliament, but would we notice, since when you watch it on TV at times it all seems a bit crazy. I sometimes wonder at times if our politicians have, gone to pot.
THE C7: Is yet again a topic of conversation with people around here. It's busier than ever, with the amount of traffic increasing because of the rail problems. Cyclists are in abundance and I know I would not like to ride a bike along this road as drivers get so impatient and overtake cyclists in the most dangerous areas. There is a lot of tail-gating because people don't like to stick to the speed limits and get cross with those that do. These people probably live in the area and know how dangerous it can be. The cyclist who rides one of those bikes where you pedal almost lying out straight on your back is very courageous, or bonkers. Evidently several cars have ended up in fields again. What speed were they doing?
NEWHAVEN: Another bone of contention with people is Newhaven, where it's very difficult at times to get over in the right hand lane when coming off the C7 and wanting to go to Brighton. People are reluctant to let you in, then when they get to the lanes near the traffic lights they take the Bridge Street turn off and jump the queue to get onto the coast road and cut across people driving from Seaford direction. More manners on the road would be helpful.
SUMMER SHOW: The village is getting busy for the Rodmell Summer Show on Saturday August 20, 2pm to 4pm.
ARTWAVE: People are also looking forward to Artwave in the Old Rectory, Saturday to Monday, August 27 to 29.
SOUTHEASE: I don't have anything to write about Southease hamlet at the moment apart from the fact that the village will have a stall for its produce at Lewes Chilli Day at the end of September. Chillies have to be mild for me to enjoy I'm afraid. I really made a spectacle of myself at a Thai restaurant once, by nearly chocking to death on a really hot chilli – never again.

AWARD WINNER: at the 2017 Global Tea Championships
Hand-rolled gunpowder tea and cooling mint.
1. Heat water to 175˚F.
2. Place tea in cup and pour water over the leaves.
3. Steep for 2-4 minutes.
4. Enjoy!
For loose leaf iced teas, use 2 tsp per 8oz glass.
I like to drink a variety of teas: (black, green, oolong, rooibos and herbal). After trying a few Single Steeps collections and reading reviews, I chose this as a mint flavored green tea option. It has gained entrance into my favorite four collection. Great flavor. Goes well with honey.
I took my grand daughters to a Princess Tea and they tasted, and enjoyed, the mint tea that was served. When we got back home I made Moroccan Mint Tea for the girls. It was cold and rainy that day, so I served the tea hot. However, the girls enjoyed the tea so much that they commented that it would be great cold, as well. I like it cold on a very hot summer day.

Schmid on Man U: Great for fans and players
Here's some of coach Sigi Schmid's final pregame words on the match:
I think it's a great opportunity for our fans, it's a great opportunity for our players. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's not often you get to play against a team of Manchester United's quality, and just the experience and the tradition of the club. It's going to be a great evening.
On Man U popularity) I think it's just been their consistency. Alex Ferguson coming there and them staying true to the commitment of their coach and his belief in his pattern has allowed them to establish a very consistent brand. Obviously there was some history there. You go all the way back into soccer history and you look at the Busby Babes and you look at the Munich crash, you look at George Best was there, and they won the European Cup in '68. There's so much history that's there. But it really took off in the last 20 years just from a consistency standpoint. Year in and year out there quality was there. Year in and year out people could start relying on them. They had a club philosophy that they maintained over a period of time.
On new face that might appear) It's a chance to play all our players. The only trialist that we're looking at playing is (wing Mrisho Ngasa of Tanzania). … We haven't had a chance to see him yet on a real big field because just of our training schedule and the amount of games that we've had, we haven't done a lot of big-field stuff in between. So it will be good to see him on a big field.

Ask a Cicerone: The Best Beers for July 4th
Beer tips from the experts.
Editor's Note: Ask a what? A Certified Cicerone® is a beer expert who has passed a particular certification exam administered by the Craft Beer Institute.

a lovely gift: convenient cross-body and shoulder purse
A few weeks ago, my sister came home from work with a thirft store find just for me. It seems she was able to make some time to have a look around a local Raleigh thift store: ReTails Thrift Shop. So I've finally taken some pictures of it and here they are. I am absolutely loving it by the way. It's so practical and cross-body purses are so convenient. I guess that's why I've been kind of obsessed with it (that and I don't really have any of my purses here with me now and my outfits have felt so incomplete without them). This super inexpensive gift (its tag read: $4) is something I'm really enjoying–probably a little too much. I've been wearing it almost everyday since I got it. It'll probably start to get worn out if I don't put it aside for a little while so I'll just have to find something else in my sister's closet to replace it.
As mentioned above it was found at ReTails Thrift Shop in Raleigh, NC… of which their cause I want you all to know a little bit about:
ReTails is the the only nonprofit thrift shop in the Triangle that gives 100% of net profits to help the animals.
100% of the profits from ReTails Thrift Shop support THE $20 FIX, our targeted spay/neuter assistance program that enables low-income pet owners to spay/neuter their pets for $20. ReTails is owned and operated by AnimalKind, a nonprofit organization established in 1998…When we have surplus, we either donate it to local charities or sell it for export to countries with short supply, with the income from those sales going to THE $20 FIX program. We always try to ensure that usable surplus merchandise goes to people who need it (or in the case of blankets and towels to animals that need it!).
I'll be posting next about a couple of skirts I also found on a second trip to ReTails. Gotta take some pictures of them first though.

On 13 and 14 October 2014 a total of 21 participants from 9 European institutions, including 4 invited speakers, met at the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) in Barcelona. The objective of the workshop, organized by the partner ICM-CSIC, were to present and discuss the results on the application of innovative monitoring techniques that are developed in DEVOTES.
Representatives from DEVOTES partners (CONISMA, AZTI,UHULL, CEFAS, CSIC, Akvaplan-niva, CIMA) gave presentations on the state of art and background of the different innovative methods, showing their objectives, results and deliverables to be released in the upcoming months. Participants discussed about the methods presented, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of each one.
The presentations will be soon available on this website.

This might not make sense to some people, but if you are a web designer it will! If you have designed a website I build it for you using cross browser compatible and valid XHTML and CSS code. If you find this difficult it means you can concentrate on what you do best. The site will be built using search engine friendly techniques, so the site will perform well and wont take a long time to download - if needed you can even have 6 months free website hosting.
If you have an existing website design or website you may be considering an upgrade to make it content managed. Most content managed systems, such as WordPress, use templates and themes as a framework for the design elements for how your site is displayed. The content that you write for each page is then dynamically inserted into the template and presented to the person viewing your site.
Depending on the complexity of the design it could take just a few hours to turn your static html and CSS into a theme that can be used with your chosen CMS.

Many of us go to one extreme or another when it comes to death: avoiding the topic or obsessing over it. Neither denial nor anxiety is a healthy answer, though — and neither prevents a person from it. We can't offer you the fountain of youth or immortality, but we can help you face your fear of death by making sure those you love will be provided for in your absence.
The Problem with Denial
Even those who act as if they're unconcerned about death may be living in an even deeper state of denial than those who admittedly avoid the topic.
It's a sobering thing to realize our days are numbered; if you need a rough estimate, you can check out the life expectancy table found here.
While insurance rates are all about risk assessment, the fact about death is that it's guaranteed. Throughout history, the death rate is constant: 100% of people die. The best we can do is to be prepared for it in practical ways that will lessen the stress on those we love when our time does come. That isn't being pessimistic: It's being realistic and loving. When we choose to let our fears override our love for others, we're not doing anyone any favors.
The Issue with Obsession
Most people who openly fear or obsess about death seem to forget that worry or anxiety does nothing to ward it off or add moments to a lifetime. Instead, it robs us of the good things we can enjoy today. So while denial is certainly not the answer, living in fear and obsessing about death isn't healthy, either.
In fact, anxiety can actually impact your overall health negatively by weakening your immune system, as this author explains. The truth is that most of the time our phobias are illogical anyway, and what we worry about is actually far from realistic.

The Benefit of Insurance
Conservative financial expert Dave Ramsey encourages heads of household to purchase Term Life Insurance and to make sure they purchase enough to provide for their families: "Plenty of coverage will allow them to live comfortably and maintain their lifestyle until they figure out the next step in their lives."
By refusing to live in denial or anxiety about death and instead do what you can to make sure your family is taken care of, you're facing your fear in a healthy and responsible way and can move on to experience life to the fullest.

Summer Weather Can Be Unpredictable So Bundle up With Lightweight Cashmere
Living through Canadian weather is tough in the winter months, but can be really unpredictable in Summer as well. The highs and lows in any given month can waver from below 10ºC (50ºF) to upwards of 40ºC (104ºF) and above. I try to never complain about the weather but am secretly a wuss when it comes to breezy chilled Summer days. So to avoid complaining too much and whimpering like a babe, I simply throw on a lightweight sweater to contest the cold. I can't control the weather but I can control my wardrobe.
When shopping for a lightweight knit I checked out the cotton options, wool, alpaca, and man made synthetics but found them all lacking. Cotton is often knitted too thinly, wool and alpaca can be scratchy and uncomfortable (especially since it's Summer and I want to wear the knit with nothing underneath. The man-made synthetics just don't breathe and so I was left looking for something else. Lightweight cashmere.
Cashmere breathes like light knit cotton but has a warmth that envelops you when a light breeze tries to pilfer your heat. Not all cashmere is as soft as the next so you really have to shop for it and find the right blend but the key to a great cashmere is to do a simple softness test. By rubbing the cashmere on the inside of our forearm you will see in a quick second how comfortable it will feel against your skin. This way you can wear just the sweater in the dead of Summer and not want to scratch your flesh off. Remember, more expensive cashmere does not equal a softer knit.
I like to pair my near weightless cashmere with a rolled up skinny dress pant in a lighter weight, and finish the look with sockless loafers and a layered watch look with matching necklace. When wearing cashmere you immediately bump your look up a notch because of the distinct softness that can be seen (and more importantly felt) when it comes to the luxurious knit. It's subtle but opulent, deluxe but necessary.

Don't go on a spending spree using credit if you are thinking about buying a home, or in the process of buying a new home. Your mortgage pre-approval is subject to a final evaluation of your financial situation.
Every $100 you pay per month on a credit payment could cost you about $10,000 in home eligibility. For example, a car payment of $300/month could mean that you qualify for $30,000 less in a mortgage.
Even if you have accumulated enough savings, you should consider not making any large purchases until after closing. The last thing you want is to know that you could have purchased a new home had you curbed the urge to spend.

Banks as local public utilities
Banks as local public utilities
Banks and banking perform such a central role to our society that they ought to be classified as public utilities. As public utilities they have, or ought to have the role of smoothing the path for a multitude of other businesses, both private, co-operative and other government utilities.
If banks fail to any significant degree society experience many seriously detrimental secondary effects, such as failed businesses, stagnant economy, halted public and private projects, absence of wage payments, loss of savings, fluctuating interest rates, unemployment etc.
Banks do fail not just occasionally and randomly, but several together on the basis of unusually deep business cycles, recession, and the possible detrimental effect of the application or removal of banking regulation.
Businesses that operate on the open market must by necessity be allowed to fail – such as in the case of diminishing demands, unavailability of raw materials or insufficient management or staff. Any business which is so important that failure of it will bring massive detrimental effect to the rest of economy and society can therefore not operate on the open market as a private profit motivated company. Banks fall into this category.
Even if banks dont fail outright they produce a drag on the rest of society as long as they are operated for profit rather than for the good of society. Banks may for example operate high frequency trading algorithms that distort the open market and destroy value for other investors such as private individuals or pension funds. They may in their hunt for profit manipulate interest rates to favour their own trading positions thereby siphoning off value from the society. The bank, run on a profit motive, will join any investment bubble (i.e. ponzi scheme) and inflate it even more, pushing society to the bust that inevitably follow after the boom. The banks may in the role of lenders enter into unsound loan agreements and then re-package the loans into new financial instruments and sell to unwary buyers who later will face ruin when the loans fall through. The banks may cicumvent regulation and mis sell insurances and other products – all because the quarterly profit figure is more important than the bank's role as a benefactor of economy and society at large.
For this reason banks should be classified, just like the police and the law courts, just like the schools and hospitals, as public utilities with a clearly stated aim to work for the good of society and the multitude of businesses operating in it. The banks should be staffed by skilled people with fixed wages similar to civil service employees (not bonuses). Organisationally a bank could be local government run in the case of reserve banking or run as a co-operative in the case of a geographically de-centralized bank or a bank exclusively for a special industrial or social sector. Banks must not be private and must not be allowed to become "too big to fail to influence government policy".
