October 3, 2017
It was so, so good to be back at Parnall after a two-month hiatus! Even though I wasn't there for all of our two-week pilot in July (links to reflections below!), I was present enough to be totally enthralled with the work of that group – "Shakespeare Unchained" or "The Original 12" – and was eager to work with them again, and, of course, to welcome in some new folks! Unfortunately, scheduling hasn't allowed Kyle to join us this time around, but I'm accompanied by two other wonderful facilitators, Matt Van Meter and Patrick Hanley.
From the moment people started coming into the chapel today, the excitement was palpable. Those of us who'd worked together over the summer were ecstatic to see each other again, and before too long we'd infected everyone else! We spent some time goofing around with theatre games and getting to know each other using the Three Questions that have become a ritual at the women's prison whenever new people join the ensemble:
What brings you to Shakespeare?
What do you hope to get out of this experience?
What is the gift that you bring to the ensemble?
There was some good-natured ribbing as we went around the circle answering, including some inside jokes among the Shakespeare Unchained guys. Again, all of this humor spilled over to the new members, and before we knew it no one was holding back.
We jumped into the first scene of the play we'll explore for the next 10 weeks: Othello. Already, we've identified some key themes:
Treachery (people acting one way while feeling another)
Sex (yep, we're totally going to go there in a professional manner – we have to with this play)
Rhetoric (the art of persuasion!)
Some of the men in the ensemble brought detailed knowledge of history, and empire collapse in particular, to bear on the conversation. They have clearly done a LOT of reading, and it was exciting to learn from the parallels they drew. And it didn't stop with history – they found parallels to their own lives. "It's like the politics in prison," said one of them. "This transcends time – the prejudice, the fears… [regarding foreigners; others; etc.] The thing that's keeping your empire up, you start to fear."
A new member of the group who is quite young beamed, saying, "I'm hooked in. I'm not gonna lie." And we left even more pumped up than we were when we arrived.
October 6, 2017
Some new people joined the group today, and Patrick joined us for the first time, so we played another name game. And then – no nonsense: the ensemble wanted to sit down and get back to the play.
But a fair number of people had either not been present or had had to leave early from our first meeting. We decided to catch them up by putting Act I scene i on its feet. Two guys from the pilot jumped in, as did one of the new guys, who pulled two others to their feet to act in non-speaking roles. It was a great reading. No one hesitated over the language, even when stumbling a bit, which I'm sure provided some relief to new members intimidated by it (this is a normal component of SIP's work).
We discussed the scene a bit afterward, and one member raised his hand, still looking at his book. He brought up the following passage:
Call up my brother. – O, would you had had her!
Some one way, some another. – Do you know
Where we may apprehend her and the Moor?
"I'm looking at the dashes, and I'm thinking he's not just talking to one guy – he's going from person to person. He's turning and talking to them – he's really upset." That is seriously advanced analysis, and it's coming from someone who has clear challenges reading the text aloud (although this does not stop him by any means). It shows – as we've seen over and over again – that there is nothing about this stuff that is inaccessible. We all bring what we've got to it. And our instincts are generally pretty good.
"So, what do we get out of this scene?" I asked. "They ain't playing no games," said one person. "Iago is a hothead," said another. One man said he felt as if Roderigo is a "persuasive antagonist." And then that new member who'd read in the scene mused that the whole thing reminded him of Hannibal the Conqueror and the downfall of empires – he believed that the prejudice against Othello has more to do with culture than with race. There was general agreement with that.
We moved on to Act I scene ii, in which Brabantio confronts Othello. This time, there was no interest in sitting and reading – some of the guys immediately leapt to their feet. It was a great read, followed by an insightful (albeit brief) conversation. "You coulda not done nothin' wrong and still get burned," observed one person. And, regarding Brabantio, another man said, "He has a public image, so any negative effect to his family is a negative effect to him." We definitely know these people.
We were moving quickly and still had time to go over the next scene, in which Othello and Desdemona defend their marriage to Brabantio and the Senate, and we get a sense of the war that's on. It was already clear that two guys in particular were drawn to Othello and Iago.
We made sure we'd gotten the information we needed out of the scene – Othello's military background, the story of his and Desdemona's wooing, and Brabantio's reaction. We noted that Desdemona seems to have been more aggressive in the courtship than Othello. We know why she falls in love with him – the tales of his exploits excite her tremendously – but what draws him to her? "He's been a solider since he was seven, right?" said one of the men. "So Desdemona's nurturing brings him in because he's never been nurtured." Another man agreed, saying, "Opposites attract."
Iago came up again (of course!). "I've came across a lot of Iagos in my life," said one man. Everyone agreed. "I still know some now," said one person.
One man drew attention to Brabantio's final couplet:
Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see.
She has deceived her father, and may thee.
"That's planting the seed for the rest of the play," he said.
The conversation meandered to focus on the racism in these first scenes. Most characters seem fixated on Othello's blackness, but not Desdemona or the Duke. "Why not the Duke?" I asked. We mused about how, in the military, it doesn't matter what someone looks like if he's saving your life. "The military do break racial tension," said one man. "All you see is green – no black, white, Asian – none of that."
But why not outside of the military, several of us pondered. "When you're comfortable, you got think to think about all that," said one man. Another added, "Until you get around 'em and get to know 'em, you won't know how to act around 'em."
And then one man shook his head and beamed at us. "This is amazing," he said. "Six months ago I coulda never seen myself doing nothin' with Shakespeare – or having it even pique my interest. Even though the language is so far from what we know, it's still relevant. It hits on your life experiences." We all agreed. He said he'd been eager to get outside what have been the norms for his entire life. "And from where I'm from," he said, "This is outside the norm."
"Life is life," said another man. "I guarantee you, you done been some of the same stuff… Shakespeare was hitting on some issues that's just a part of real life."
Like manipulation, a few people said. It's so real in this play. "Manipulation is something else," said one person. "You would almost think it is magic… Manipulation is a powerful thing. It will make you kill somebody."
October 10, 2017
I honestly was having so much fun today that I didn't take nearly enough notes!
We proceeded to finish Act I, scene iii, in which Iago manipulates Roderigo to help him put his plan into action. "Why is he doing this?" I asked. "Misery loves company," said one man. "He's gotta keep his hands clean," said another.
And we dug deeper: how is Iago manipulating Roderigo? This is key because he manipulates Othello in a similar way. Several of the men said that Iago was using Roderigo's love for Desdemona to rile him up – that he was playing on his heart. "Is it his heart?" I asked. We all looked back over the scene. "Well, he's talking about her having sex with Othello," said one person. "That's gonna hurt."
"Okay," I said, determined to go where we need to go to fully understand this play – no holding back. "So he's using sex to manipulate him. He's gonna do the same thing to Othello, right?" The men who'd read ahead nodded. "Why?" I asked. "Why is sex such an effective tool of manipulation?"
The group still danced around the issue. I kept pushing them – I wanted to assure them that me being the only woman in the room does not mean we need to shy away from some of the ugliness at the heart of this play. There's no need for any of us to be uncomfortable if we keep it all in context. "Yes, and…?" I kept probing. Finally, someone said that if someone else were putting images in his head of his wife being with someone else, it would make him crazy.
"Right!" I said. "If you're fully consumed by lust, can you think clearly?" They all shook their heads. "You can't," I said, "It's disorienting, right? So if Iago can knock them off balance with these kinds of images and thoughts, how are they going to think clearly enough to see through what he's doing?"
One man pondered what this means about Iago – how much it has to do with his suspicion that Emilia has been unfaithful to him. "Maybe it's something about him," he said. "He's taking his worst fear and putting it in other people."
Meanwhile, I noticed that the man sitting next to me was deeply engaged with his book. "It's great, isn't it?" I said aside to him. "I really love this," he said. "I feel like I found my calling." He said he'd told his wife and kids about it, and they're also very excited. He is thinking about finding some acting classes when he goes home and is even interested in scansion (analyzing the text to find meter and other elements). It's delightfully nerdy stuff, and we don't usually get into it on a group level because many people who've had negative experiences with school shut down as soon as you say, "iambic pentameter." Some folks, though, get really excited about it, and we work on it together separately. He wants to do that. I am all about it. It's so thrilling to see someone who's been isolated and shut down light up like a firework after working with Shakespeare for just a few days.
I'm not kidding when I say that Shakespeare is magic. Whatever you need it to be, that's what it is. Most of us need some magic. Some more than others. When you see it spark for someone for the first time – that's magic for everyone in the room.
October 13, 2017
We got a very silly start today, playing some intense tape ball (during which the group completely liberated themselves to make good-natured fun of how bad I am at the game), a gibberish rap circle that culminated in a gibberish rap battle, and a silly theatre game.
And then we settled in to read Act II Scene iii, in which Cassio gets in a fight (orchestrated by Iago and Roderigo), is stripped by Othello of his position, and is urged to get Desdemona to plead his case by Iago. Iago also lets the audience in on the next part of his plan.
Interestingly, we didn't go too deep with our conversation about what's at the center of this scene: Cassio's anguish over the loss of his reputation. We pretty much couldn't stop talking about this part of the story when we worked on the play at the women's prison, which is why this surprised me, but I'm still learning the differences in dynamics between women's and men's ensembles. It's possible that we'll get back to this. We'll see.
We worked the Cassio/Iago part of the scene on its feet several times, discussing visual storytelling in theatre. Those of us who've done this before urged everyone to take their time and connect with one another rather than focusing on the language (which we're all going to mess up, anyway).
We talked for a while about Iago – what the plan is, and why he's executing it in this way. "He allows the other person to dig their own grave," said one man. This moved into a debate about whether Iago plans ahead or is just winging it. Some think he's just an opportunist. Others think he's got it figured out from the get-go.
"He's surprised that it's as easy as it is," said one man as another pretty much finished his sentence. "He waits for the moments to appear," said another.
The debate continued, covering many aspects of Iago as we know him right now. "I would consider him a mastermind," said one man, "because all of us just said something different about him that was bad."
… And that's what I've got for our first two weeks exploring Othello at Parnall. This ensemble is vibrant, engaged, goofy, serious, enthusiastic, and increasingly willing to "go there." We are loving it.
More soon!

Pill Gives Fucks About the Right Things/
Manhattan weirds me out more and more every night, but an underground band like Pill still makes navigating through parts of new square town worth it. At the back of the literally underground Alphabet City basement venue Elvis Guesthouse is where I recently caught the Brooklyn punk band on a sweaty night, and it only got sweatier inside. Taking a glance at the walls and ceiling, saxophonist Ben Jaffe remarked that he liked the place, "It's like a shoebox full of razors." Then they launched into their set.
Vocalist Veronica Torres picked up a bass for the first tune, and a handful of other tunes before handing off her beer and pushing into the crowd. Her bass lines sounded especially good on "Personality Flaw," along with her speak-singing "personality flaw / my personal draw / I always want more / always want everything / the most fun." Then when they hit the breakdown about halfway through, cued by Veronica's banshee scream and the drums breaking through everything else, the whole band went wild, as did the crowd.
Pill possesses a strong punk ethos, and jazz influences in the way they parody pop music. They pair vocals like spoken word poetry with sax skronk, like if Patti Smith and X-ray Spex had a musical baby. Veronica's vocal style is packed with such power, especially when she's asking with repetition, "Are you keeping my feelings and my body safe? I think this is an opportunity for you to be more flexible." And Ben Jaffe's sax wails and squalls were majorly channeling some Albert Ayler all over the place. The synth/guitar combo was a little like circuit bent psych, and the percussion held it all up and filled in all the right places. Together it all sounded like ridiculous indulgence in the way that is absolutely necessary. The music isn't just to wild out to, it's also an empowering platform to vent about real shit, social and political.
By the time Veronica abandoned the stage without abandon to jump into the crowd and get down and dirty on the beer-splattered tile floor, the energy was peaking in the Elvis shoebox to an extremely satisfying level. The animalistic dissonance with the repetition of choice lyric phrases the band blends had the power to really pierce your psyche and pump your heart with that wild blood. It's shows like this that are a rare but important experience. I'm not old enough to have the privilege of remembering real punk days, but I can surmise that the kind of shows Pill delivers is one of the closest comparable things in current day DIY music. Social commentary that encourages giving fucks about the important things to give a fuck about. To remind you that "Privilege is a warm body that loves you." A visceral pill to swallow and choke on, because everyone knows the more you cough the higher you get.
Find Pill's EP on Dull Tools, and look out for a full length coming soon.

Hello Gang; nice forum here!
Mark Logan's Racetimer software nicely automates many of the routine tasks of running a race. You can even import heats generated by Stan Pope and Cory Young's HeatGenerator webpage.
There is a discussion and support group with free copies of this software and many knowledgeable people to help with any questions at
I have also posted a simplified version of the World's Least Expensive Pinewood Derby Timer, by James H. Brown to use with it at
The 3 pieces of the software are the Racetimer.exe itself, some .dlls used by it(you will have to unzip them using Winzip or similar into the SAME FOLDER
as Racetimer.exe; there are 4 of them unzipped), and a program called port95nt.exe, which is run just once to install it on the machine. It allows the Racetimer software to access your printer port.
You also need a copy of Initialization.htm, which is the file format your results are saved in.
For a copy of the latest version of Racetimer.exe(172kb)(which supports heat imports), the .dlls(1346kb), and the initialization.htm(1kb) file.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PinewoodT ... 0Software/
For a copy of port95nt.exe, which allows parallel port access for Racetimer.exe.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PinewoodT ... RaceTimer/
The way you use the program is pretty straightforward. When you open the RaceTimer.exe executable you must specify an existing .xml file in the open file dialogue(If you specify the executable instead in the open file dialogue, the program bombs.)
Make a copy of the existing one(in the Racetimer folder) marked Initialization.htm and select that copy to open when the program asks. That way you still have the "master" initialization file to run with next year.
Proceed from left to right using five different tabs, which are Track Setup, Edit Racers, Edit Schedules(heats), Race, and Results.
Use the "Test" function under the "Track Setup" tab to verify the software sees the light sensors/start switch change states, enter all
your racers, import heats, and you're set to race.
When you exit the program all the results are saved in an .xml file, with the file name you specify using File>New.
To generate a chart: Use the generator located at
Save it in a folder as a complete webpage, and you will be able to use it offline. We generated a chart for each possible number of kids in a den from 3 to 10, and keep each of those text files ready to go in a folder. That way we don't have to mess around with generation at Race Time; we just select one of the pre-prepared text files.
1) Title doesn't matter; only the text generated by it is used by Racetimer.
2) Enter # of lanes. We currently have three.
3) Enter # of cars FOR THE DEN YOU ARE SCHEDULING. You generate separate schedules for each den.
4) Enter # of rounds. This is equivalent to the # of times a racer is in each lane. We use two.
5) Choose the "Tab-delimited Text" option.
6) We use "medium" weights for all three "Heat Ordering Options", with excellent results.
7) Copy and Paste the 'heat' information ONLY into a text file.
Be careful to grab the data as tight as you can, as it bombed the program when I included the little numbers above the table. Likewise
if I didn't save the text file before attempting the import.
Remember where it is.
Run RaceTimer.exe and add all of the racers (if not already done).
9) Go to the "Edit Schedules" tab, choose group and round.
10) Hit the 'Import' button and choose Partial Perfect-N (Tab Delimited)
11) Select one of the pre-prepared files or the file you just created and hit OK.
12) Have a look at your newly created heats - nice aren't they?
When used together with the simplified Least Expensive Timer, this software has worked great for us. We hope that others may find it useful as well.

Appreciate the tip. Mark Logan hasn't posted in a while to the yahoo group, and I've been unable to locate an email for him.
The next time he does post I'll forward your suggestion to him. It would be nice to have that incorporated in the executable.
Right now I just choose from a pile of prepared heats.txt in a folder when it's time to shoot a race.

The Wonders Performance Training Versus Burnout
Performance coaching offers a fresh hope for workers who appear to live like zombies trying to complete sets of jobs agreed upon between company and employee at the beginning of the employment "career". Both employer and also the employee wonder how, during the very first several months of the employee in the company, he/she was fairly productive and seemed to be at ease. Nevertheless, after a little over annually on the job, the employee appeared to slacken off and needed to take away but still when he or she comes back to work, looking haggard and unenthusiastic.
If we attempt to analyse and look within the worker's mind, we shall come to realize the basis for his or her present state is what is termed as "burnout". He/she actually has the crucial abilities required for the operation of his/her tasks. In fact, he/she was good at it demonstrated during his or her honeymooning stage with the work. It started turning sour after that period as he/the employee was becoming "overly familiar" with his/her job. How could more familiarity using a job result in below-par productivity amount? Should not it have gone up with the employee being more at ease with his/her kind of work?
Burnout is parallel to boredom. It very efficiently dulls the mind affecting the physical body and also the complete being. Nevertheless, the major question is the best way to connect burnout or boredom with familiarity with the job. The acquaintance causes the action to be "too simple" for the doer which he loses the challenge or thrill to do it. Doing nothing about it magnifies the exhaustion it causes because of the absence of challenge in the activity and heightens the boredom. Something that isn't challenging but has to be done is merely very tiresome.
What happens to the employee is that he looks for "other activities" which are "new" to him/her even those without challenge or thrill. It easily loses the sensed "delight" in it and complements the already imminent or present apathy. What exactly is extremely wrong about it is that it eats up a sizable part of the worker 's time that's supposed to be spent at work or "recharging". That is the place where the theory of performance training comes in.
Performance training is a holistic program that was created for the employee to appreciate and comprehend his/her acquired and built in skills and abilities vis-a-vis his/her work. That alone gives him/her a sense of significance that prompts him or her to do better. This program also has a lifestyle design/regimen that offers Development Centres built-in recharging within his/her work-rest- play with routine. The program is completed by a matching diet to match with the lifestyle.

Being brought up in an amazing, fun and busy Christian family, as the youngest of 5 kids, I found it easy to slip into the background living a life that seemed right in everybody else's eyes – everyone except God's! I knew how to play it cool, but deep down I always knew that all I had was a surface level relationship with God. Then I did Fire Academy… I chose to give God my everything, I realised that the very things I wanted so badly, like friends, grades, a job, a relationship, were worse off in my control, but when given to God, it's the place where they flourish and become great.
I've never regretted a single day that's gone by since I fully trusted God. I just keep digging deep, revealing new dreams and gifts I never thought I had. Sometimes it's hard, but I love it, because when you only have Jesus – you have EVERYTHING!!!!!

Berbee was one of three candidates who filed with the Union County Board of Elections for three at-large city council seats. Incumbent council president John Gore and councilman Mark Reams also filed for their at-large seats and like Berbee, are unopposed in the November election.
Berbee said his road to city council began many years ago, when his neighbor, a well-known figure in Marysville politics, suggested to him that he perform his civic duty.
"I've lived in Marysville over 30 years, and my neighbor was (former mayor) Tom Nuckles," Berbee said. "He and I were good friends, and we'd often talk politics. Now that I'm at a point where two of my children and my son-in-law are taking care of most of our business, I now have some free time and thought it would be a good time to use some of my efforts for public good."
For many years Berbee has been the president of the Berbee Bulb Company on Route 4, selling flowers and farm supplies. A working knowledge of flower bulbs came with his family's heritage, Berbee said.
"I moved over here from the Netherlands, with my wife, son and daughter," he said. "I was fortunate enough in 1969 to work an internship in upstate New York in a greenhouse. My family had always been in the nursery and production business, and shortly after my internship I asked my father if I could be a salesman and travel the U.S. In 1975 we made the decision to find a good distribution center, and we honed in on Ohio, which at the time was the number one horticultural state in the nation. We found a facility that was a former egg producing plant here in Marysville that suited our needs, and in 1982 we moved the family over and have lived here ever since."
During those decades Berbee lived in America with a green card. At the time, home to him was wherever his family was, he said.
"It all started about five years ago, when my mother (who stayed in the Netherlands) passed away," he said. "Going overseas isn't as enjoyable now as it once was. As long as my mother was around that definitely made an impact."
Earlier this March, Berbee went through the naturalization process and became an American citizen. Not only will this be his first elected office, but it will also be the first election in which he can cast his vote.
"We still have a few weeks where a write-in candidate could present itself, which is not likely," Berbee said. "I'd looked forward to making it into a race, I think the voters should have a choice in whom they elect, but obviously I'll take the position."
Berbee said he plans to put his experience running a business to good use while on city council.
"My background is in accounting, and I know that the budget process for next year will already begin to shape up in September and October," he said. "I'll be asking the council if I will be allowed to get that material ahead of time, that way I'm not missing a whole year. You don't run a business for 40 years if you don't know where your finances are coming or going to."

Progressivism: Coercion over Competition/
Progressives prefer coercion over competition. They believe better outcomes will be achieved by a stronger central government forcing everyone to do what that government says is "right" than by a wide variety of solutions being attempted by many different groups to see which ones are more effective.
Progressives generally do not prefer a strong central government because they are truly enamored of strength or strong man, per se. They prefer centralized solutions for society's problems because they genuinely believe that is the best route to a solution to those problems.
Conservatives, on the other hand, do not believe that centralized strength is the most effective way to solve problems. Instead, they assume that solutions will not be obvious, even to well-educated experts. They believe that the shortest and most effective route to effective solutions for societies problems is competition among a large number of potential solutions.

Network in Aging of Western New York, Inc.
37th Annual Meeting and Conference
Speaker: Dr. Will Miller
"The importance of human connections: how social media, diminishing nuclear family, mobility and intimacy affect us"
Thursday, November 2, 2017
8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Grapevine Banquet Facility
333 Dick Road, Depew, New York
- About the Speaker: Dr. Miller's unique background as a professional standup comedian, television personality, psychotherapist, educator, and best-selling author, along with his five graduate degrees, make him a recognized authority on modern life and culture. He is an adjunct professor of Communication Ethics for Purdue University, the official psychotherapist for the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom radio show, and Police Chaplain and stress consultant in his Indiana community. He is the author of several books, including "Miserable @ Work" and co-author of the best selling "Refrigerator Rights" – a study of the effects of social isolation on quality of life. His presentations, whether a keynote to a large audience, or as a workshop leader, combine all of these experiences. He has delivered thousands of speeches to the nation's largest corporations and organizations about living a well-adjusted life in a time of enormous pressure and stress. His message is unique in its approach that coping and change happen by fixing our external circumstance as much, if not more, than our internal condition.
Poster Session:
The purpose of this conference is to encourage dialogue about the aging process and to strengthen the university-community partnership. As part of the conference, a poster session is held. There is a maximum of 10 posters displayed at the conference and a maximum of two students may represent each poster at the conference.
Posters will display EITHER a student's literature review on a particular aging-related issue OR the results of student research that has been conducted in a particular area of aging. Posters will be mixed by themes (e.g. dementia care programs; literature review on dementia caregivers' needs) so that participants can move from one to another, talking with students who have examined current literature or research about a particular issue, and network with representatives of programs that provide services to older adults and their families who are dealing with related issues. The aim of this intermingled approach is to facilitate dialogue between students and community-based professionals in all areas of aging.
The Network in Aging of WNY, Inc. was founded in 1981 by a network of people committed to improving the quality of life for older persons in Western New York. The Network is a non-profit, voluntary corporation, which brings together individuals and organizations involved in aging and long-term care. Our diverse membership includes: Educators, Health and Social Service Professionals, Community Leaders and Government Agencies.
Abstract Deadline Date: Friday, October 13, 2017

Examples of Abstract Format
Example 1: Research
Effects of Muscle Rehabilitation on Cardiovascular Fitness in Patients with Osteoarthritis. N.M. Fisher, V.D. Kame, Jr., D.R. Pendergast. Departments of Rehabilitation Science and Physiology, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14214, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Maximal aerobic power has been shown to decrease with age and to be even lower in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Patients with OA have also been shown to have reduced muscle function. The purpose of the present study was to determine if 20 patients with knee OA who underwent only muscle rehabilitation had improved cardiovascular fitness. The subjects were given a maximal graded exercise test prior to and after 3 months of muscle rehabilitation. The exercise program consisted of isometric, isotonic, and endurance knee flexion and extension contractions, 3 times per week. Maximal strength and endurance improved significantly with this protocol. Maximal aerobic power increased from 13.0±2.5 ml kg-1 to 20.0±2.2 ml kg-1, while maximal walking speed increased from 2.5 mph to 3.0 mph and exercise time increased from 9.3±1.5 minutes to 14.3±3.2 minutes. Although maximal heart rate and systolic blood pressure (SBP) did not increase, the heart rate (15bpm) and SBP (20 mmHg) at specific VO2s was less. It would appear that the reduction in aerobic fitness of patients with knee OA is secondary to their reduced muscle function and can be improved through muscle rehabilitation.
Example 2: Research
The Active Dying Stage: A Profile of Patient-Family-Hospice Team Dynamics. Waldrop, D.P., School of Social Work, University at Buffalo, 14260. email@example.com
Hospice care often occurs only during the "active dying" stage of a terminal illness. Short-term utilization of hospice services has been conceptualized as "hyper-acute death care" which challenges professionals to manage symptoms (pain, nausea, delirium) without much time to learn individual preferences. Do families struggle to manage dramatic physical and psychological changes or do they feel relief that situation-specific care became available when it was most needed? Using mixed methods, this study explored dynamics which accompany the active stage of dying in families who had hospice care for less than two weeks. Initially, focus groups and questionnaires were used with 54 hospice professionals. A psychosocial factors checklist (PSFC) of descriptors was developed and subsequently used to guide in-depth interviews with the caregivers of 50 people who were over age 65 and died from cancer. A descriptive profile of the patient-family-hospice team dynamics was developed and has implications for family-centered end-of-life care.
Example 3: Literature Review
Evidence-based Psychosocial Treatment at the End of Life. Waldrop, D.P., School of Social Work, University at Buffalo, 14260. firstname.lastname@example.com
End-of-life care is provided on a continuum which begins with the recognition that death is approaching, accompanies the active dying process and can continue as bereavement care for family members, after the terminally ill person has died. Purpose. This paper presents (1) demographics and prevalence (differences in the death experiences of subgroups), (2) themes and nature of the problem (how diagnosis and environment for care influence the dying process), (3) consequences of the problem (emerging definitions of "a good death" and current state of end of life care), (4) empirical evidence (medical and psychosocial characteristics; outcome measures). Methods: Systematic keyword searches were conducted in 5 databases and followed by hand searches to locate intervention studies that focused on end of life care and bereavement. Results: The findings from studies that included patient and family interventions during the final stages of life as well as interventions, which focused on care during bereavement, are presented. The results of this review indicate that there are as yet, few evidence-based studies of psychosocial treatment in end-of-life care for older adults and their family caregivers. However, rapid developments in the field of end-of-life care are leading to greater possibilities for future outcome-based research.
General Guidelines for Poster Preparation
A poster is a display presentation, which exhibits either the results of a literature review or of a research study. The display reports current research in a way that results can be readily summarized in graphic forms: tables, graphs, pictures, etc. Text is most easily read if it is summarized briefly and organized by using bullet points. Poster authors are asked to be available during the session so that participants can talk with you about your work. This display format facilitates discussion with interested colleagues.
Poster format
Provide a large heading containing the authors and their affiliations in large type at the top of the poster board. All illustrations should be made beforehand. Your illustrations should be easily read from distances of about three feet or more. Charts, drawings and illustrations might well be similar to those you would otherwise use in making slides, but preferably more heavily drawn. All materials and information must appear on the 3' x 4' tri-fold posterboard. Keep visual material simple and clear. Simple use of color can add emphasis. Material should be in large type. Hand-lettered material should be boldly done at least 3/8" high. If using PowerPoint design follow specifications for poster format. Please let us know if you can provide your own poster stand for PowerPoint posters.
Poster suggestions
- Organize your material so it will be presented in a logical and interesting manner.
- State the program objectives and how you will meet the objectives.
- Integrate handouts to enhance and support it.
- Organize material for a clear and obvious flow
- Use large font sizes that can be read from a distance of 3 feet from the poster.
- Use simple color combinations. Printed material generally is most readable in black and white.
- If you use color ensure that the color combinations are not too light or too dark.
- Lettering should be bold, plain and a combination of upper and lower case.
- Tables and graphs should be prepared specifically for display.

Tendering of applications for the competition "Sacred Heritage of Latvia" begins
11-Mar-2019, 18:01 / Charity & Sponsorship On March 11 this year, the tendering of applications for the Rietumu Charity Fund's competition "Sacred Heritage of Latvia" began, with churches invited to register architectural and art heritage objects for restoration and conservation for the years to come. The registration of projects in the competition will continue until April 15. The competition "Sacred Heritage of Latvia" is organized in cooperation with the National Cultural Heritage Administration.
The Rietumu Charity Fund is organizing its support project for sacred architecture and art heritage for the eighth consecutive year, with over 45 church heritage objects conserved and restored during these years. Applications for the fund's support can be submitted for the restoration of stained-glass panels, chandeliers, organs and altarpieces, urgent renovation works, the restoration of domes and rooster weathervanes and the conservation of altarpieces, chandeliers, etc. The maximum support for a project is up to EUR 5,000, while the competition's total funding is EUR 25,000.
"The conservation of sacred architecture and art is highly important in order to ensure that Latvia's cultural and historical heritage can be passed on to the generations to come. This is appreciated not only by religious people and seekers of peace, but also connoisseurs of history, architecture and art. It is therefore important to take care of Latvia's sacred heritage. So far, we have been supporting various religious denominations in Latvia. Last year, for example, we provided our support to Lestene Evangelical Lutheran Church, Palsmane Evangelical Lutheran Church, Aloja Evangelical Lutheran Church, Jelgava St Simeon's and St. Anna's Orthodox Cathedral, Kampišķi Old-Believers Prayer House, Kuldīga Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church and Silene Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I am calling on congregations to apply and preserve Latvia's sacral pride together also this year," says Inga Shina, Chairperson of the Board of Rietumu Charity Fund.
Eligible for the support is any Latvia-registered religious organization or association owning or possessing protected cultural heritage objects of local or national importance. The applications are reviewed by the jury of "Sacred Heritage of Latvia" comprised of four members: two representatives of the Rietumu Charity Fund and two representatives of the National Cultural Heritage Administration.
To apply for the competition, it is necessary to fill out the application form.
The rules of the competition are available here.
The list of the projects that have won the funding will be published on the Rietumu Charity Fund's website www.rblf.lv and the National Culture Heritage Administration's website www.mantojums.lv.

Arturo Peimbert Calvo (@DDPHO)
Arturo Peimbert Calvo, head of the Oaxaca People's Human Rights Ombudsman, reported that on April 17th, while he was in the vicinity of the municipality of Nochixtlan, he was wounded and, upon leaving, he was shot at from long distance with bullets shots to the trunk and a door of the vehicle.
He pointed out that ten months after repressive events at Nochixtlán, "the lack of progress in the investigation favors impunity, and encourages aggression against the victims, relatives of deceased persons and their defenders, which is why it is necessary to highlight the delay with which the authorities are acting to initiate the investigations." He added that "a case in which there are approximately 100 people with bullet wounds and eight people dead, must be investigated promptly due to its magnitude."
He expressed his concern "due to the recent attacks on the victims and their representatives, for example, the one perpetrated against the teacher Santiago Ambrosio Hernandez, who on March 5th suffered an attack in which he was injured with a bullet shot to the leg." For the same reason, he informed that protection measures were requested for those who demand justice in the case.
It should be recalled that in Nochixtlan, on June 19th, an eviction was carried out by federal police against residents and teachers of Section 22 of the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), which left eight dead and more than 100 injured.

Hybrid Cloud is a computing network that utilizes on-premises private cloud as well as third party public cloud services. With seamless movement between the two cloud services, hybrid cloud ensures businesses have the freedom of flexibility and additional data deployment choices.
The fundamentals of running a rewarding hybrid cloud is the selection of compatible hypervisor and software layers. This ensures the proper data exchange with the public cloud APIs. In this post, we are going to talk about hybrid cloud, and Amazon's infrastructure for setting up hybrid cloud. We will also cover hybrid cloud pricing, and how to prepare for that using tools like this AWS calculator. Let's get started!
Hybrid Cloud - Benefits and Challenges
Hybrid cloud allows for the setting up of on-location private cloud that hosts critical and sensitive data and processes, while making use of public cloud services to host limited sensitive operations.
Hybrid cloud is especially useful in workflows with a history of demand spikes. For example, an order system can witness a spike during the holiday/shopping season. This workflow can operate on private cloud for most of the year, but make use of a third party hybrid cloud to access extra computing resources during the annual spikes. This can be done via a deployment model called cloud bursting.
Though it has its well documented benefits, using hybrid cloud can present its fair share of technical, operational and management complications. One of the first challenges are to to ensure that the private cloud workflows can interact adequately with the public cloud services. This requires API affinity and network connectivity.
Given that the hybrid cloud requires seamless connectivity between the private and public cloud, connectivity issues can lead to downtime, missed SLAs and similar disruptions in service. Though this can be circumvented by constructing hybrid cloud processes that can communicate effectively with different public cloud providers, it leads to an over complication of workflow design and architecture.
Perhaps the most basic challenge is for businesses to construct and manage its private cloud while implementing additional software to interact with the public cloud APIs. This requires inhouse knowledge along with systems and related tools, etc. The responsibility for the maintenance of its private cloud as well ensuring its continued compatibility despite advancements and changes to public cloud APIs lies solely with the business.
Hybrid Cloud Management Tools
A number of cloud management tools exist to assist businesses manage operations using the hybrid cloud. These include Egenera PAN Cloud Director, Cisco CloudCenter, Scalr Enterprise Cloud Management Platform and RightScale Cloud Management. These handle tasks like billing, workflow conception, etc.
Additional tools include, IBM Cloud Orchestrator, Red Hat CloudForms, BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, VMware vCloud Suite, etc.
Amazon's Hybrid Architecture
Working with businesses and large corporations, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has developed some of the most extensive hybrid architecture capabilities. These cover data storage, application deployment, networking, data security, and hybrid cloud management tools.
AWS has also entered into partnerships with on-premises cloud providers like VMware, Intel, SAP and Microsoft, among others. This ensures seamless cross-connection between public and private cloud platforms.
AWS presents a broad collection of services that addresses most areas of migration from instance options to transport. Some of the main services provided include:
- AWS Direct Connect - A committed physical connection with the absence of any data transfer over the public domain
- AWS Import and Export Snowball - Batch data transfer services with AWS Snowball allowing for secure and quicker data transfer between AWS cloud and other storage devices using access keys for IAM users.
- AWS S3 Transfer Acceleration - Encryption of data while at rest or transit as well as swift and secure data transfer over long distances.
- AWS Kinesis Firehose - Security of data while in transit. Access can be controlled using IAM.
Integrating Amazon with On-premises data structure
AWS offers a wide spectrum of database and storage services which are in-sync with the businesses' on-premises applications. This allows for reliable and secure data storage with an equal or higher level of control. This is complemented by a matched reliability and data accessibility and a higher level of security.
Amazon RDS
Amazon's Relational Database makes setting up, operating, and scaling a cloud hosted relational database relatively easy. It is both cost-efficient and has flexible capacity while at the same time managing repetitive database admin tasks. You can choose from six database engines - Amazon Aurora, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Maria DB and MS SQL Server.
Amazon S3
Amazon Simple Storage Service provides developers with secure cloud storage at scale. Amazon S3 accommodates multiple uses including S3 Standard for regularly accessed data, S3 Standard - Infrequent Access for long term, but seldomly accessed data as well as Amazon Glacier for data archiving needs.
Amazon VPC
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud allows for provisioning of AWS Cloud that can be used to activate AWS resources within a virtual network. Users have total control over their VPC including IP address range, subnets and gateways and composition of route tables. Users can also generate a Hardware VPN connection between their data center and VPC. AWS Cloud then acts as an expansion of their corporate data center.
Amazon EC2 Run Command
The Amazon EC2 Run Command allows users to manage servers and virtual machines in a remote, secure environment. It empowers users with an easy way to automate and execute administrative tasks like running Shell scripts on Linux or Windows, installing software, etc.
To know more about integrating Amazon with on-premise data structure, visit Amazon's hybrid cloud page.
Preparing for Amazon Hybrid Pricing
AWS has three basic chargeable areas - Compute, Storage and Data Transfer Out. These three fundamental areas impact your billing the most. This, despite the fact that each may differ slightly depending on the AWS product your business signs up for.
While AWS charges you for outbound data transfer, all inbound transfer of data is not charged. This includes data transfer that occurs intra-region. Outbound data transfer is usually grouped together between AWS like EC2, S3, SimpleDB, RDS, SQS, SNS and Amazon VPC. These are charged at the current transfer rate.
AWS provides tools that can help you keep your costs under control and make sure you are using AWS to its full potential. These include -
- AWS Trusted Advisor - Analysis of the complete set of resources under use and a configuration comparison check against established best practices. This helps running large amounts of workflows efficiently with a minimal risk of downtime.
- AWS Simple Monthly Calculator - Empowers businesses to list parameters for AWS services under use or that might come under use in future and calculates an approximate monthly cost likely to be incurred.
- AWS Price List API - The Price List API offers programmatic access to designers and architects to query the AWS price list instead of searching manually through the web.
There are also some third party tools that help in management of cloud costs and monitor optimum usage of cloud resources such as Cloudability, CloudCheckr, and Cloudyn.
The increasing demand of cloud computing is showcased by the sheer number of enterprises transitioning to web services. That said, moving to the cloud comes with certain hurdles that can make some businesses think twice. In cases like this, businesses can find it helpful to go with the hybrid cloud option.
Cost is the major driving force behind most of these transitions which is where Hybrid Cloud steps in. It helps reduce costs by allowing businesses to spend less on technology needs while giving businesses more flexibility, accessibility and data security.

Best winter coat
My pittie hates the cold, but with this jacket he's back to enjoying the outdoors no matter what the weather is. I was so worried about getting the right size for him because I've had trouble in the past, but based on Heather's helpful advice, we got the perfect fit. He doesn't mind wearing this at all and gets so excited when I pull it out because he knows we're going on an adventure. It doesn't hamper his ability to run or use the bathroom and covers enough that he stays warm even in below freezing temps. I especially love the opening at the back for attaching his leash to his harness clip, and how easy it is to put on and take off.

Women will have to wait a bit until they earn as much as men — like 170 years.
That's the disheartening news today from the World Economic Forum, which issued a report that found it will take until 2186, if current trends continue, for women to make as much as men.
The WEF's annual Global Gender Gap Report lists health and economics as the most hard-to-conquer global disparities between men and women.
The report, which looked at education, pay, health and political conditions in 144 countries, found that "at the current rate of change, and given the widening economic gender gap since last year, it will not be closed for another 170 years."
The news in the report was much more upbeat when it came to education. There, it said the gap between men and women will be closed in just 10 years.
Five countries — Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Rwanda — ranked the highest, meaning they have the smallest gap, having closed 80 percent of the differences between the sexes, the study found.
The US is ranked 45th in the index, down from 28th in 2015.
The report cites a decline in the number of women participating in the labor force over the past year as one factor for the drop. However, it also notes that the US has attained parity among genders in education.
Yemen comes in last in the index, with the report finding that it has closed just over 51 percent of its overall gender gap.

I would say you've been lucky. I've seen a number of them over the years. If for no other reason, the primary technical reason would be that the configuration isn't supported by Microsoft. I looked into this in depth some years ago, and as I remember it, the network redirector doesn't have all the levels of file and record-level locking that are present in local storage. So, those "other levels" are simulated. The simulation is, as are all simulations, imperfect. Under certain situations, a PST record on a network drive may not get locked when it should, and the PST can be corrupted. Then again, my memory could be bad.

1. Prenatal Vitamins- Whichever you choose, you are going to need them if you decide to breast feed. Baby still needs those important vitamins. I chose Nature Made because they were affordable and included DHA as well.
2.Water proof mascara- If you care even just a tad bit about how you are going to look in those after photos, I would suggest using this. I still tried to avoid photos just because I was still swollen, but mascara did help open my eyes a bit.
3. Snacks- Lots of them! I was snacking the entire time because I was so hungry and the hospital food wasn't the best. Plus, they didn't feed me meals prior to delivery! I had mixed nuts, crackers, soft healthy Kashi Cookies, and I even brought a six pack of sparkling juice just in case I felt nauseous.
4. Stretch Mark Cream- I was really lucky up to this point that I didn't get those unwanted stretchmarks!! Thank goodness! However, I still came prepared with cream since your belly goes from being the size of a watermelon to the size of a cantaloupe…still squishy!
5. Belly Bandit– This is very important if you want that belly to go back to normal size quick! Well, ok you won't get the six pack you had prior, but it sure does help!! I'd like to think that this had something to do with the 20lbs I lost the first week. I wore this for about 6 weeks, which is the required amount of time. It can be annoying at times especially when you sleep with it on. Since I don't sleep much I might as well keep it on. Ha! No more sleep for mama!! 🙂
6. Nursing Night Gown– This was so useful during my time spent in the hospital. For one, the gowns they provide for you are so annoying and uncomfortable. Liam had to eat every 2-3 hours so having this gown was quick and easy. Snap and unsnap is all you need to do.
7. Camera- My Luminx camera to capture those special moments. 🙂 Love this camera!
8. Preggie Pops– I was really lucky that I didn't get sick not once throughout my pregnancy. I didn't want to take any chances so I came prepared with Preggie Pops just in case. These pops were great! If I had a slight bit of nausea, I just sucked on one of these. Apple was my fav.
9. Natural Nipple Cream from Earth Mama Angel Baby- The hospital gives you a tube of Lanolin, which I also used. What I like about this cream is that it's organic and safe for baby. It helped a lot for sore cracked nipples.
10. Burt's Bees Lip Balm- Dehydration = Chapped lips. Tim was constantly reapplying Burt's Bees on my lips. It was very helpful.
11. Boppy Pillow- I regret not taking my boppy pillow. We had to stuff pillows under my arm, under Liam's head, and anywhere else to help prop the baby up. I was surrounded by a mountain of pillows. It was ridiculous! And breastfeeding is NOT easy. The baby has to be positioned the right way. If not, it was painful.
12. I Phone and charger- This is a given. I took so many photos with my phone. As far as outgoing phone calls, I left that to Tim. He made sure he kept everyone updated. 🙂
13. Ipod dock- Listen to some soft music. It helps.
14. Hair Ties- I have long hair.
15. Tooth brush, face wash, moisturizer, and shampoo/conditioner. I didn't want to use anything that the hospital provided.
