Transition planning for the senior surgeon: guidance and recommendations from the Society of Surgical Chairs.
Rosengart TK, Doherty G, Higgins R, Kibbe MR, Mosenthal AC. JAMA Surg. 2019;154(7):647–653.
Potential deterioration of older surgeons' technical performance is a patient safety concern. This guidance developed from a Society of Surgical Chairs panel discussion puts forth several steps to manage the transition of aging surgeons. Recommendations include mandatory cognitive and psychomotor testing for surgeons age 65 and older, respectful consideration of the financial and emotional concerns of aging surgeons, and lifelong mentoring around the transition from clinical to nonclinical roles. The authors anticipate that such initiatives will prompt thoughtful support for aging surgeons that ensures patient safety. In an accompanying editorial, an older physician supports mandatory testing and suggests individual-level steps to address aging as a surgeon, including healthy lifestyle and financial habits.

Developing a reporting culture: learning from close calls and hazardous conditions.
Sentinel Event Alert. December 10, 2018;(60):1-8.
Although adverse events and near misses are common in health care, they are almost ubiquitously underreported. Barriers to reporting include health care provider fear of repercussions, insufficient integration of reporting systems into the electronic health record, and cultural factors. This new sentinel event alert explores how organizations can change their culture to promote reporting. It highlights bright spots: organizations that use a just culture approach to investigating errors, celebrate employees who report safety hazards, and whose leaders prioritize reporting. The Joint Commission proposes actions for all organizations to take, including developing incident reporting systems, promoting leadership buy-in, engaging in systemwide communication, and implementing transparent accountability structures. An Annual Perspective reviewed the context of the no-blame movement and the recent shift toward a framework of a just culture.

Physical and verbal violence against health care workers.
Sentinel Event Alert. April 16, 2018;(59):1-9.
The Joint Commission issues sentinel event alerts to raise awareness regarding risks in the health care setting. This alert highlights physical and verbal violence as a major problem in the workplace, particularly in areas such as the emergency department and inpatient psychiatric units. Other factors associated with violence in health care settings include stressful conditions, understaffing, and lack of organizational policies for recognizing and deescalating hostile behaviors.

PORT CHARLOTTE — The Tampa Bay Rays aren't afraid of lofty expectations.
Go ahead, pencil them in as World Series contenders. After making the playoffs three of the past four seasons, they concede it'll be a major disappointment if they aren't playing deep into October this year.
The cost-conscious franchise rarely creates splashy headlines during the offseason, and this winter has been no different. But after quietly bolstering the middle of the batting order with a couple of modest, but productive free-agent acquisitions, manager Joe Maddon thinks the team has a very good chance to return to the postseason.
"I like the idea of the expectations being raised a little bit. I like the idea of people wanting to include us in that kind of a discussion. I want our players to like it, too," Maddon said Monday, the eve of the start of spring training for pitchers and catchers. The first full-squad workout is Sunday.
"It's more about managing expectations this year as opposed to trying to build some. I'm very good with that," he said. "That's the position you want to be in on annual basis. You want to be able to be included in that kind of talk."
Much of the optimism is rooted in the Rays having one of the deepest pitching rotations in baseball, a unit that executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman didn't have to disrupt in order to address the club's biggest priorities this winter, adding power to an often anemic offense and strengthening the bullpen.
The front office extended a tight budget by spending $13 million to sign first baseman Carlos Pena and designated hitter Luke Scott, a couple of left-handed bat that could add some balance to a lineup already featuring Evan Longoria, Ben Zobrist, B.J. Upton, Matt Joyce and Desmond Jennings.
The Rays also brought in veteran catcher Jose Molina, utility infielder Jeff Keppinger and relievers Burke Badenhop and Fernando Rodney and believe they have a blend of youth and experience capable of continuing to compete with the big spending New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in the AL East.
Last year's starting rotation of James Shields, David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, Wade Davis and Jeff Niemann remains intact, and rookie left-handers Matt Moore and Alex Torres and young righty Alex Cobb provide depth in case of injuries or if the team decides to make a deal to try to improve the roster between now and opening day.
Not that Friedman isn't comfortable with what seems like a surplus.
"We don't view it as having three first basemen when you have seven or eight starters. Over the course of 162 games, if you go back and look, starting in 2008, we've used a minimum of seven. And in one year, nine starting pitchers," Friedman said.
"So with the razor-thin margin in this division, and what can be the difference between moving on and staying home, it's something we're very mindful of," Friedman added. "We don't look at it as having an overabundance of starting pitching."
The Yankees and Red Sox begin every season with expectations of winning the division. The Rays, who won the AL East in 2008 and 2010, are getting to that point.
"When you step back and take a big picture view, for us to have those expectations is a great thing. It's never a problem. It's never something that you shy away from. ... The only way or time it can become a problem is if you take on that mentality of we're that good or we don't have to work," Friedman said.
Short of injuries, few jobs will be on the line in spring training. Still, Maddon and Friedman are confident players won't become complacent.
"It really speaks to the culture we've created, the process that's in place. Whether there's extremely high expectations or not, I don't think it fazes our guys. ... They're focused on the process and how they all fit together — the 25-man roster — to compete and win on a nightly basis," Friedman said.
One subject Maddon plans to address with pitchers and catchers on Tuesday, and again when the full squad reports on the weekend, is the importance of getting off to a fast start.
Thanks to Boston's monumental September collapse, Tampa Bay was able to overcome a nine-game deficit in the standings to earn the AL wild-card berth on the final night of last season.
"I think that's really paramount for us," the manager said. "Last year we proved to ourselves that we can come from behind and win, and that's nice. But it's much better to do it from the other side. You can't always count on a bunch of circumstances working in your favor at the end of a season because you've dug yourself a hole."

<< Updated, see here! >> (~Chactory)
There have been many questions about what order you should place the plugins in with Spami. Bob, and many others, have given out some very good advise throughout the forum. I want to distill the overall advise into one thread, and in particular, add my own additional rules onto what has already been discussed so far.
The general rule of thumb is:
1) Filters which detect non-spam only go highest/first - everyone agrees on that
2) Second, you'll find two schools of thought come out of the forum:
School 1:
* Filters which detect spam only go second, followed by filters which classify emails into spam and non-spam going last
School 2:
* Filters which classify emails into spam and non-spam go second, followed by filters which detect spam only going last
You'll find threads espousing both schools of belief in different threads already, so I won't go over that.
Filter Sequence - according to Zaxon
I'll add some extra things to consider when prioritizing your filters. This doesn't so much contradict what I've stated above, rather than to put a slightly different spin on it.
1. Filters which classify non-spam and which you believe are 100% safe go at the top
This is almost the same as the general rule above, except that I have added the "and which you believe are 100% safe" portion. Not all non-spam only filters are necessarily right for this category. See the safety concern below.
2. Safety Filters go first
There are certain filters that actually protect your safety. These are filters which look for harmful scripts, web bugs which actually report back that you've opened an email and therefore confirm your email address etc. These are real safety concerns, whereas emails which contain the phrase "buy * POLICY VIOLATION ! *" might be annoying, but they don't actually pose a threat.
Filters that contain safety checks are: Scripts Filter, Attachment Filter, Hercule Filter, Image Filter (web bugs), and there may be some others.
For instance, you probably don't want a message about your favourite pop star or TV program if, unbenowns to you, it also will run an Active-X script, and report back to base that you've opened it. It fact, I found out that several of the newsletters I was reading reported back to base. Thank you Hercule Filter for alerting me to this. So, I've chosen to block all mail that does this.
3. The filter type which is most accurate goes next
Assuming you have the Filter Statistics Plugin installed, you'll find from the [General Statistics] the figures for False-Positives and False-Negatives.
It makes a world of sense to put the filter type that has been the most accurate for you, first.
So if your False-Positives % is very low and your False-Negatives % is far higher, then put the filters which classify spam first (blacklist, DCC etc), and your less accurate filters which classify non-spam (learning, URL) last.
If your False-Negatives % is lower than your False-Positives %, then the filters doing the most accurate job are your Non-Spam detecting filters or Spam/Non-Spam filters (Learning, URL). Put your less accurate filters that classify spam-only (blacklist, DCC etc) last.
You do this because, like me, you insist on spami giving you the most accurate results possible. So honour the most accurate filter type by promoting filters of that type up the list, and the less accurate filter type by placing them down the list.
4. Filters which give false-positives get an instant demotion
You know if you were to have a noisy, personal phone conversation at work, people may raise their eyebrows, but if you started stealing money from the company you'd get fired?
False Negatives, spam which isn't recognized but is let through, is something to raise your eyebrows about.
False Positives, good emails that get stopped and labelled as spam, means that somebody deserves to be summoned to the principal's office to get the strap. Somebody has to pay!
If a filter incorrectly marks good emails as spam, instantly demote it down your priority list. You want to stamp out this behaviour as quickly as possible. Note, some filters are configurable. So, delete that blacklist that triggered a false-positive. If 10 <html> tags caused a spam rating in Hercule on a good email, up it to 20, etc. When a filter reaches the bottom of the priority list and stays there for a while, meaning it's consistently inaccurate, it's probably time to permanently delete it.
5. Highly effective filters get promoted up the list
If one of your filters catches 60% of spam, while another only catches 5%, promote the 60% filter up the list. Why? Because you should have the filters which catch the most spam first in line, so that spam is caught as soon as possible. If an email does reach the lazy filter that catches only 5%, then its a rarer occurance. You want spami to run as quickly as possible, so catch the spam emails as high up in the filter chain as possible. Remember, spam which is caught stops immediately, and doesn't have to pass through any of the subseqent filters.
And if you're feeling sorry for those filters that only catch 1 or 2 percent, and they tell you, with there big puppy dog eyes, that "if only they were given the chance, they could be a star performer too..." This might well be true, but it's better to have one filter catching 90% of spam than 9 filters catching 10% of the spam each.
6. Lazy filters get sacked
If you find that there are filters that never seem to catch anything over a period of time (months), give them the sack - delete them. Why? Because we all want spami to process mail as quickly as possible, if a filter is failing to perform on a consistent basis, you should delete it. Think of all the collective minutes you have waited for emails to be processed by that filter, that doesn't seem to be catching any spam anyway. Perhaps you have redudant filters: a filter higher up in the list that's already doing the job. Or perhaps you have a poorly coded filter that doesn't seem to match the author's expectations when placed in the real word. Say to your lazy filters, "You're fired!"
That's about it. Every experienced user of Spami will have their own believes on how filters should be ordered. These are mine. I've explained them particularly, because they add a bit more insight beyond the common whitelist > grey lists > black lists way of looking at things.
Anyway, something to think about.

Plenty of Dolphins players would welcome guard Richie Incognito back to the team. Team management obviously feels otherwise, as evidenced by its ongoing suspension of Incognito.
Lost in the speculation about a coming legal fight between the Dolphins and tackle Jonathan Martin is the reality that the ball sits on the tee for formal proceedings between Incognito and the Dolphins.
We've repeatedly heard that Incognito will challenge his suspension via a grievance. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Incognito currently is considering all options, with multiple angles under consideration to support his position that the suspension was not justified.
The attack could come by challenging the substance of Martin's complaints, by arguing that Incognito's conduct toward Martin was no different than the conduct of other teammates, and/or by claiming he was merely "toughening up" Martin at the behest of the coaching staff.
Regardless of Incognito's potential strategy, the reality is that the suspension can last only four games. After that, the Dolphins have to either bring Incognito back or cut him. He can't be sent home with pay for the rest of the year, and he can't be suspended again unless and until he gives the team another reason to do so.
On that point, here's something to keep in mind. Just as we didn't know about the golf-course incident until recently, there's a chance Incognito has done other things that have yet to become public, but that the Dolphins will cite in support of their suspension of Incognito.

Straight Hunk, Brett Swanson gets fucked by Ashton Dale
Ashton Dale has been gone for a while. Like years. But gay sex is like riding a bike. You never forget. And after a heated game on the basketball court, Ashton was ready to tear Brett a new one. They got back to the studio and stripped their clothes off. Brett went down on Ashton first, and then Ashton reciprocated. By the time Ashton sat down and put the condom on, Brett was ready to jump right on it. He rode Ashton reverse cowboy and Ashton slammed his dick in and out over and over again into Brett. Brett loved it, but he wanted it deeper. So he bent over and Ashton stuck his hard cock inside him and slammed away. Finally he fucked Brett on the edge of the couch until Brett burst with cum. Then Ashton pulled out and nutted sweet jiz all over him. I am not sure who won the basketball game, but this gay fuck session definitely ended in a tie.

Brett Swanson and Ezra Finn play a little muscle hunk football
Football season is under way and the one thing I hate most about it, is all that damn padding. Touch football is much better. Hot hunks in nothing more than shorts and a pig skin. Now that is what we need. And luckily for us, newcomer Ezra Finn loves football. He and Brett Swanson head off to the park to throw the ball around. Things get a little competitive and suddenly Ezra slams Brett down into the ground. The two roll around in the grass and Brett realizes it is time to take this inside. Ezra was very nervous. He told me that he had never even kissed a dude before, but he was definitely ready to give in to all of his curiosities. They started off kissing, and then Brett pushed Ezra down and pulled down his pants. Ezra was already hard. Brett went up and down on his cock. He loved the feeling of having a thick uncut cock touch the back of his throat. Then Ezra reached around and started to feel his ass. Brett has a nice smooth and muscled butt that is ready for a pounding. Ezra took his fingers and made Brett suck on them. He then took his fingers and slid them up Brett. Brett moaned out as the fingers entered his hole. He wanted more. So Ezra stuck his hard dick into boy butt for the first time. He was nervous at first. But after he felt the warm squeeze of that hole on his cock, he let it all go. They ended things in doggie style and Ezra started to pound the fuck out of Brett. Brett came all over the couch, and then Ezra pulled out and nutted all over his bubble butt. Welcome to the world of gay fucking, Ezra. I think you are going to like it here.

Brett was going to be arriving late due to a plane delay. So when he got here, we were all ready to go. There was no time for a meet and greet. The cameras rolled and Brett basically had to walk on set ready to fuck without ever even meeting his partner Greg Jameson. Luckily, Brett was greeted to a hot straight stud with a long hard cock. Let the hard porn video fucking begin. Brett stripped down to a jock strap. Sometimes, it is better for the two scene partners to never meet beforehand. The excitement and initial attraction makes the chemistry electric. These two wanted to make the best gay porn videos they could make. And after a bunch of sucking and rimming, Greg finally slipped his dick inside Brett. Greg likes to fuck like a jack rabbit and Brett loved every inch of that long cock sliding in and out of his hole. Finally Brett started to quiver, and his college jock muscles began to twitch. He had the cum fucked out of him and he shot all over the mirrored wall. Greg followed suit. After they were done, the kissed passionately. Maybe now they can get to know each other.
Brett Swanson & Andres Moreno in a Full Release fuck session
Sometimes when Brett is not doing hot gay porn, he moonlights as a masseur. His next victim, er, I mean client is Andres Moreno. Brett has Andres strip down and get up on the table. Andres lies his hot muscled physique face down on the table revealing a nice taut bubble butt. Brett gets to work and immediately starts rubbing down Andres. He starts to gravitate to his ass and he spreads his legs apart, he can see that Andres is already hard. He lets his hand graze slightly against his cock. Andres does not flinch. Brett knows that he is down for a real massage. Brett gives Andres some stretches and then grabs onto his cock. Andres moans out and Brett asks if he wants the full service. Andres says yes. Brett immediately walks over to the front of the table and shoves his cock into his mouth. This leads to some hot sixty nining on the massage table. Then Brett gives Andres some oral attention followed by an amazing rim job. Now that Andres has his ass all wet and ready, he begs to be fucked. Brett is ready to oblige. He slips on the condom and fucks the hell out of Andres. Andres rides Brett, and then flips on his back and lets Brett finish him off missionary style. Andres blows a load while Brett is deep inside of him. Brett pops out and busts his nut all over Andres. Andres takes the load into his mouth and swallows every last drop. Here at Randy Blue, we make sure all our gay porn has a happy ending.

The latest moniker for the London Whale affair: award-winning.
A J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. employee climbed onstage at a black-tie dinner held on Wall Street Thursday night and accepted an award on behalf of the embattled bank for "best crisis management."
It was the Oscars, sort of, for the U.S. investor-relations industry — an annual award dinner hosted by trade publication IR Magazine. Companies competed in 39 categories, with the nominees announced beforehand and the winners revealed by people opening envelopes onstage flanked by a six-piece band.

I am interested in bringing history to life through telling a story using fictional characters in a well researched historical plot. I am going to explore the historical fiction genre to see how useful it is in honing in on aspects of history which are often overlooked or brushed aside by mainstream historians.

Love and Romance
Love knows no age limits. It is not confined by gender, race or any other division of human kind. And because it is a human emotion the characters created to act out the novelist's plot will no doubt have experienced love of some kind along their life journey even if they display no evidence of it for the duration of the story being told.
In A Terrible Paradise, which has just been released as an ebook, love is a tragic thing for the main character Elise Cartwright. She feels it pulling at her heart strings over a man she barely knows. It sets her off on a quest to save him from his terrible fate giving the writer the opportunity to tell the reader about the brutality of the British penal system of the nineteenth century, and the corruption and sadism which was tolerated by those in power.
Forbidden love of the young barman Tommy for his Kate colours his relations with his parents and his growing hatred of the Catholic Church in The Liberator's Birthday which is also available as an ebook.
He despises the dean who cursed Kate's father and drove him to his death, and all those who curry favour with the bombastic clergyman in the hope of gaining advantage in this world and the next.
Barriers of class, education and circumstance prevent Brigid from expressing her attraction to Eamon Darcy in the first of my novels, Brigid, to be released as an ebook, but it is clear that her love was no passing thing. it smoldered unrequited during her life, and allowed her no rest in the afterlife until she could find the means to give it expression.
Now I am embarking on a new project in which the love between two women in nineteenth century Melbourne will scandalise the family of one of them as they listen to the reading of her will.

I, too, am a sucker for a good love story! Be it cheesy, realistic or platonic, it makes me happy. I recently read "The Book Thief" in which 2 of the main characters loved each other (not romantically, but in a platonic fashion) and I found it quite lovely.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed the Book Thief too. Very sad but beautifully told story. I recommend it. The love between the two characters was quite wonderful. I like to write love into my stories - not necessarily romantic love, although I do that too, but I like to think that my characters have the capacity for love of all kinds. it makes them more believable.ReplyDelete
Long live love! I've written about gay/lesbian/inter-racial sex in my published novel SHAIKH-DOWN and got a lot of flak from an Arab feminist website for doing so. But when I submitted a novel about a woman of 65 getting "a second bite of the cherry" with a 70-year-old Italian, several editors said there was No Market for that kind of romance. At 69 I've just found a new love, why can't my heroine?!ReplyDelete
I'll wager those editors were all young. They find it difficult to imagine anyone older than them finding love and companionship. They'll find out when they get to be our age.ReplyDelete
As for same sex relationships I am currently writing a novel which deals with lesbian love. I'm enjoying it.

text: There aren't many specific details yet known, but the AP is reporting that former major leaguer Andruw Jones started his Christmas Day in jail after he was arrested on a battery charge early this morning in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth. Seems police were called to respond to a domestic dispute between Jones and his wife around 1:30 a.m. What triggered the alleged dispute and what happened is not known. Jones, who earlier this month signed a one-year contract to play in Japan, was booked at 3:45 a.m. and released around 11 a.m. after posting $2,400 bond. That's his mugshot right there, courtesy of the Gwinnett County (Ga.) sheriff's office.


text: Litigation can be disruptive to any company, but particularly to small businesses. Every hour that is focused on the dispute is an hour your key employees aren't focused on their primary jobs. Whether it's a disagreement with a business partner, supplier, competitor, customer or other party, whether it's routine litigation or a bet-the-company type case, your business needs commercial litigation attorneys who can help guide the company to an acceptable solution. Litigators should be able to analyze the case, assess potential outcomes and develop a trial strategy. Commercial litigation lawyers can also simultaneously prepare for trial while exploring other ways to creatively resolve the disagreement.

In December 1959 His Grace Archbishop Graner, CSC told Fr. Eugene E. Homrich, CSC to build a rectory in Jalchatra and separate the Madhupur Garos from Mymensingh Mission. The Mission included all the Garo villages on the so called southern villages from the Bramaputra river. This included 56 Garo villages but there were only 2500 Catholics in the Villages from North Bagra to Singacholla south of Dorgacholla. There were few Primary Schools and literacy was about 5%. The people were poor, sickly with kalajar, TB etc. They lived off the forest roots and cultivated some rice lands. Garo pagan religion was practiced everywhere. There was 250 sq. miles of forest land belonging to the Raja of Natore who used the Garos to harvest the sal or gazari trees. The forest contained leopard, deer, peacock, wild chickens and about 250 beautiful birds in the thick Gazari jungle. The low lands were registered in the name of the Garos and they paid household taxes for the homestead lands.
When the Forest Department took over the forest this was the beginning of the destruction of the forest and many false cases were started and taxes were no longer collected. The Jalchatra rectory was completed on Oct. 20,1960 and I took up residence at that time. Government surveyors measured the mission compound and found a total of 3.57 acres. This was not accurate and I told them to get out.
John Gomes, the brother of Bishop Francis Gomes was the catechist trained in Bhalukapara by Fr. Bauer. He instructed the Mandis in Chunia and Pirgacha. We baptised Pirgacha on April 25, 1961. The church expanded quickly because of lay catechists and small primary schools. The Credit Union was started by Fr. Charles Young, CSC in 1961. The Pakistan government declared the area a National Park and took over 40 sq miles including Mandi Villages and rice lands. Many Madhupur Mandis left for India in Feb. 1964. Villages were looted, houses burnt. Many died in route or were shot by the E.P.R. We defended the villages with bows and arrows. Over 25 villages have disappeared or moved to new areas in the Jungle. The Pakistan government refused to recognize registration and to collect taxes saying the Zamindar lands were now enemy property. On Sept. 8, 1965 Pakistan Army took over the Jalchatra Mission and I lived with them as they were at war with India. Over 3000 Pakistan Army troops were in the jungle and caused no problem..
On March 2,1992 Bishop Francis Gomes told Fr. Homrich, CSC to open a new Parish in Pirgacha. I purchased land near the Pirgacha School and made this the church. Fr. Alex Rabinal, CSC and Fr. Ponen Kubi, CSC along with Fr. Peter Rozario helped me decide where to build the rectory. The new house was finished and I moved in on June 1, 1992. Feb.1,1993 Bishop Francis announced that the new parish is now separated from Jalchatra. The Catholic population was 6288, Baptist 1201, Oxford 584, SDA 143, pagan 1031 and catechumen 120.
Health condition of the Mandis was terrible. No toilets or tube wells and most were filled with hook worms and ascaris. I was trained in Cody Institute in Canada, University of Wisconsin, University of Florida and Baldwin College in Georgia in development and tropical horticulture. Missionary spirituality was learned at Maryknoll.
The secret of success was because of lay teachers and catechists in 22 Primary schools. They were trained by the Xavarian Fathers in Jessore Catechical Center. The poorly paid
teachers, catechists, mostly women run the Primary Schools, development projects, instruction of new catechumens, justice and peace cases and teaching Mandi culture and dances. They run the Catholic Church and are poorly paid for their work. There has been many plans to remove the Mandis from the so called Madhupur Jungle. The head of the Tea Board came one day and said we have decided to move all the Mandis to the Tea Gardens as coolies. I informed "Ket Monjur" Communist Party and the head of the Tea board fled before they could catch him. He went to Dhaka and resigned. The Asia Development Bank destroyed the jungle with foreign tree plantation and new lot system. Madacor Group represented by Dr. Emilio A Rozario, a planning specialist wanted to remove 16,000 Garos and put them in cluster villages. I appealed to President Zia and he promised that the Garos would never be removed from the Madhupur Jungle in Mymensingh Hall Meeting on Feb. 14, 1976. The Forest Department with foreign help are trying to establish an Eco-park on 3000 acres in Jalabada. When the Mandis objected Piren Snal was killed and Utfol Nokrek of Beduria as shot in the spine and crippled for life. Day and night the Forest Department is selling the few trees left and have 1600 false cases against the Mandis. There are three cases against the Mission. We won three times and the Forest Department appealed.
The Madhupur Forest exist only on the map and new Muslim families are illegally occupying the forest. There is no land in the country and they are good farmers.
Bishop Ponen Kubi, CSC born in Deocholla village which is no longer a Mandi Village was consecrated as Bishop of Mymensingh on Feb. 13, 2004. The secret of success here in Pirgacha has been created by the Primary Schools and High Schools. We have 85% educated but need Higher Education not pucca buildings. Tura Diocese in India now has 40% Abeng from Bangladesh.
The total number of Catholics is 4,459 male and 4,354 female Mandis with a total of 8,813 Catholic Mandis; Baptist are 1,329, Church of Bangladesh is 1,031, SDA 205, pagan 124. So far 91 Mandis have become Muslim.. This is a summary of the Pirgacha. Parish as of Dec. 2014. We need better pay for the Primary School teachers who are running the Catholic Church. St. Paul's High School had 660 students, mostly Mandi. Many are studying in College and trade schools. Education in the Catholic Faith is done by lay teachers, many of whom are studying in the Open University for Higher Degrees. This is truly a lay run Catholic Church and the Mandis in the Parish are really running the Church. They have the Faith, Hope and Charity!

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Amateur sensation Lydia Ko is turning pro and has asked the LPGA Tour to waive its age limit.
The 16-year-old from New Zealand already is a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour — both wins at the Canadian Women's Open — and last year became the youngest winner in LPGA history. She also contended at the Evian Championship last month in the year's fifth and final major championship.
The LPGA Tour confirmed that it received a petition from Ko asking that it waive its minimum age requirement of 18.
LPGA Tour Commissioner Mike Whan was traveling from Asia on Thursday and not immediately available to comment. Whan, who two years ago granted such a petition to Lexi Thompson, has sole discretion whether Ko can join the tour early. The LPGA said Whan would be in contact with Ko and her family.
Ko's mother, Tina Hyon, told Golf Channel's website Wednesday night in an email that her daughter would play as a pro in the LPGA Titleholders in November in Naples, Fla. She also might play in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico.
Born in South Korea, Ko moved to New Zealand when she was 6 and began taking lessons at Pupuke Golf Club in Auckland. She recently received the Mark H. McCormack Medal as the top-ranked female amateur for the third straight year.
Ko would have earned nearly $1 million this year if she had been a pro.
Michelle Wie was 15 when she turned pro, though she played a limited schedule and did not ask for LPGA Tour membership.
Lexi Thompson was 16 when she won on the LPGA in 2011. Whan granted her petition to join before turning 18, though it did not take effect until the 2012 season and Thompson played her first round as a member the day before she turned 17.

The Stanford University School of Education has a nationally recognized track record in research and training, but its decade-old venture in hands-on management of schools has been rough going.
A Stanford-affiliated elementary school was forced to close last year after losing its charter in a vote by trustees of the Ravenswood City School District, who cited poor performance.
Stanford's remaining charter high school, East Palo Alto Academy in the Willows area of Menlo Park, has earned dismal scores on California standardized tests, failing to meet growth targets in two of the last three rounds.
But the 245-student high school -- serving mostly youth from East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park -- has forged ahead under new leadership, which arrived a year ago.
A recent visit to the academy -- housed in the former Menlo Oaks School on Pope Street in Menlo Park -- found an orderly campus with students in small classes, engaged in the usual high school work of algebra, English, geometry and government.
Though offering extra academic support, the school eschews uniforms, mandatory extended hours and other back-to-basics features that have become standard fare for high-achieving charter-school operators such as KIPP and Aspire Public Schools.
Such requirements can have a perverse and discouraging effect on students who are at a high risk of dropping out, said Kevin Sved, CEO of Stanford New Schools. The university created Stanford New Schools to manage the East Palo Alto charters, combining university resources and faculty expertise for the benefit of underserved students.
"Those (extra-high requirements) can have a very negative impact on students' chances of obtaining a high school diploma," he said.
Sved said the academy's test scores are low because many students arrive at the school poorly prepared.
For example, last year's entering ninth-graders averaged a fourth-grade reading level, and many transfer students who have been "unsuccessful" elsewhere are admitted, he said.
Senior Faauuga Saofanua said he boosted his GPA from 1.2 at Carlmont High School to 3.7 at East Palo Alto Academy because "teachers here really care for you and stay after school for long hours.
"If you need help, they'll be there for you," said the basketball player, who took advantage of the school's credit-recovery program to make up enough units to plan on college next year.
"The many interventions we have in place for the students pay off as they reach their senior year," Sved said, noting that 89 percent of the school's 2011 graduates were admitted to college. That includes 52 percent accepted to four-year colleges, more than double the rate for similar students in California.
Principal Yetunde Reeves, who grew up in East Palo Alto, was recruited to the academy last year from the Oakland Unified School District, where she had been principal of the EXCEL High School on the McClymond campus in West Oakland.
"It's exciting to be in a small school where we attract students who haven't had success in other environments," Reeves said, noting that the academy this fall enrolled 15 students from large high schools who needed a "second chance."
"We're trying to be strategic about how teachers give kids extra support while keeping to grade-level standards."
Reeves noted that the African-American majority of her East Palo Alto youth has shifted to a Hispanic majority today.
Sixty-four percent of the school's students are classified as English-language learners.
"We definitely try to build on that strength by offering Spanish for native speakers, and they do very well when they get to the AP exam, but that doesn't necessarily translate into good scores in English," Sved said.
The school maintains close ties with Stanford with regular faculty interaction and use of Memorial Auditorium for graduation ceremonies each year.
A large percentage of the 22 teachers, as well as Vice-Principal Jeff Camarillo, are graduates of the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP), and the academy has Stanford faculty oversight that includes nationally known names in education such as Linda Darling-Hammond.
Several classroom teachers voluntarily host "Steppies," -- Stanford students getting practical training for their future careers as teachers.
After losing the opportunity for charter renewal with Ravenswood last year, Stanford New Schools approached the Sequoia Union High School District, where trustees voted May 4 to charter East Palo Alto Academy beginning in 2012-13.
The new charter comes with a new campus -- Sequoia just completed a new facility on Myrtle Street in East Palo Alto, which will be the school's new home starting next fall.
Sequoia trustees said they were impressed with the school's offerings and excited about the new partnership.
"Our board supports the Stanford charter and, given that it's just a high school at this point, felt Sequoia should be the chartering agency so the school can continue its work in the Ravenswood community," Sequoia Union High School District Superintendent James Lianides said Thursday.

Random CD-i Quote (8)
>> Saturday, July 17, 2010
A quote from the former MT of Philips Media: "I could tell you a story about how Pinball was originally funded, and how it involved "borrowing" some money from another studio equipment budget to fund Cap Video, since the Editorial Committee, the group that made the decisions to fund and greenlight titles (which I didn't serve on for the first few years) was making terrible choices based on the misguided view that we needed highbrown infotainment type of titles and not pure entertainment. We weren't going to compete with the likes of the Nintendo SNES and Sega Genesis in the early years, without the extra memory that the FMV card would deliver later but we certainly could have delivered more on a pure entertainment model.
But this demonstrates how the company, American Interactie Media, was so fixated in the beginning of not being a games machine, but an all purpose device that would appeal to many interests (As evidenced by the aforementioned titles such as Stamps, Coins, Smithsonian, Gardening as well as Sailing, not to metion the Joy of Sex (at least that is entertaining !) and all of the art discs produced by Jean Pierre Isbouts - a dutchman now with a film production company in Santa Monica.
I will say however, the art discs which were produced at a reasonable cost were genuinely a very good thing for CD-i - not just in the US, but worldwide and I was a big fan of those effort and still use them as video wallpaper in my home, where I can set up the art and elect which music to play with a given gallery.............

Amoeba has entered into a partnership with L.A.'s Moheak Radio to provide the Amoeba Song of the Week every week for a recorded segment to air on Moheak's online radio station.
This week it's "Brennisteinn," the stunning opener to SIgur Ros' new album, Kveikur. The song presents a re-energized Sigur Ros, as the song explodes with a off-kilter drum beat and distorted noise right out of the gate. Frontman Jonsi sings as expressively as he ever has, singing melodically through the verses and cooing with his otherworldy vulnerability through the song's more atmospheric second half. Throughout, Jonsi's bowed guitars moan in the background while bassist Georg Holm and drummer Orri Pall Dyrason keep the rhythm section huge, ebbing and flowing in and out of the song as needed for maximum emotional impact.
A bit about Amoeba's Song of the Week: Every week we'll provide a song hand-selected by our own staff to Moheak Radio for a recorded segment that will run four times a day (at around 8 a.m., 1 p.m., 5:45 p.m. and once overnight). Besides hearing what our expert staff is into, you'll get the chance to win prizes from Amoeba Music. The giveaways will happen once a week with announcements at least once every four hours leading up to the giveaway, which will take place on Moheak's Facebook page. Check it out, support local/online radio and win some prizes along the way.

So Rush Limbaugh woke up yesterday in his palace on Geidi Prime, and while he was being hoisted by his catamites into the gravity-support harness he'd been given by the Baron Harkonnen as a hand-me-down, it occurred to the least drug-benumbed of his brain cells to think, "You know, I'm tired of everyone in the galaxy thinking Pat Robertson is a more evil piece of shit than I am. Let alone the Baron!" So on his radio show that day, he made the awesomely ludicrous suggestion that his Republican God caused the volcano in Iceland to erupt because He was pissed off over Obamacare.
Truly, there is no bottom to the level of rank idiocy defecated across the right-wing airwaves.
Thing is, if Rush was angling to take Pat Robertson's "Most Evil Piece of Shit in the Galaxy" crown from him (with its lifetime supply of mélange and a little Oxycontin on the side), he lamed out. Because as evil as Pat is, you've gotta give the old boy props for backing that evil up with balls so large they exceed most known Kuiper Belt Objects in sheer mass. Over more than half a century, Pat has leveled up his evil to such a degree, he could calmly exploit a disaster that killed a quarter of a million people, informing them as if it were the most natural thing to say that it was all their own fault for making pacts with some imaginary devil.
On the other hand, the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull (I had to copy-paste that, and don't even challenge me to pronounce it), while it has wrecked everyone's flight plans and necessitated some serious evacuations, has apparently had a death toll so low I cannot find it recorded anywhere. (Maybe someone else's Google-fu will be better.) So Rush was careful to pick a disaster where hardly anyone's died, avoiding the universal condemnation that Pat got, even from Shepard Smith on Fox News. Though if anyone did condemn Rush, he'd just whine about the leftist socialist media ganging up on him again.
So you're just too lame to be the ultimate in supervillainy you were hoping for, Rush. But don't worry. You are still a total piece of shit and all decent people hate you. You're welcome.

|Romance Le Noir from World's End Garden
|La Reve Illusoire - The illusory dream
It never ceases to amaze D just how talented and generous some designers in Second Life are. One such star is Lucia Genesis - creator of World's End Garden. WEG sells an eclectic and moody assortment of props, landscaping items and apparel that can perhaps best be described as romantically surreal Victoriana.
With the exception of two gowns which D bought ( Sois mon valentin and Bernadette), the rest of this collection were picked up as group and board gifts. Inspired by the ephemeral nature of Second Life, and the beautiful surroundings of WEG's three destinations
D wanted to create a series of prints that captured the title of each dress as well as to portray a sense of decay in the following series of images.
|Soi mon valentin - Be my valentine
Bernadette was the first in these series of images of several overlays, fades, gradations, solarisation, inversions, vignetting and imprinting (using photoshop brushes from brush directory)

The University prides itself in providing a broad foundation in the liberal arts and sciences to all undergraduate students. This esteemed tradition provides the intellectual capacities necessary to develop an inquisitive nature about the natural world and our common humanity, as well as succeed in a career and society. The paradigms of this educational tradition are embodied in the goals of the Baccalaureate Experience. These goals include teaching students to:
For many people, the most rewarding career paths require honed academic skills including analytical and systemic thinking, sophisticated communication, intellectual collaboration, working in diverse settings, and problem solving skills. The undergraduate degree programs are designed to provide students with numerous opportunities to develop these skills. An education beyond the experiences that high school offers is very important in modern society and in the global community. According to the American Association of Colleges and Universities, "College will be in the twenty-first century what high school became in the twentieth... Most jobs in the workplace and most issues in our national civic life now require the intellectual skills associated with a college education."
The Baccalaureate Experience represents a commitment to the intellectual and personal growth of every undergraduate. Students are enrolled in a first-year experience program that begins their intellectual journey and assists each student in adjusting to and thriving in a University environment. The First-Year Experience program includes:
Students can select a major, and any minors of interest, that will become the focus of their studies. The Baccalaureate Experience ensures that their education will include a breadth of courses, in addition to the courses required for their major. All students, both first-year and transfer, must satisfy course requirements in the humanities, social sciences and sciences as well as course work that develops their writing abilities and exposes them to the arts and non-western cultures. These aspects of the program represent the core curriculum of the Baccalaureate Experience.

Engineered by Arup, the twisting skyscraper represents a culmination of architectural beauty and technical brilliance. Situated on the edge of the Pearl river, this structure spirals up to 600 meters high, and its perfect hourglass shape attracts visitors from all over the world to the city of Guangzhou.1
- Canton Tower in Guangzhou ChinaNamed the tallest building in China, the Canton Tower consists of two elliptical shapes that twist 45° relative to one another, creating a tapered waist about 22 meters wide at its narrowest.2
- Canton Tower in Guangzhou ChinaArup's structural engineers used parametric associative software to generate and refine the geometry and they linked this data to analytical and drafting software.3
- Canton Tower in Guangzhou ChinaThe tower is designed specifically to withstand the typhoon climate of Guangzhou, which is sometimes assailed by super fast winds.4

Logistics That Goes the Distance
The FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) is where some of the world's most outstanding drivers defy the odds to compete a battle of endurance. Racing for between 6 and 24 hours, drivers relay the world's fastest cars around iconic race courses from Silverstone and Nürburgring to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez and Le Mans. There is also the added drama of seeing teams from major names such as Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin race against independent groups known as 'privateers'.
WEC was originally designed to bring the spirit of the legendary Le Mans 24 Hour Endurance race to a worldwide audience and is now sanctioned by the FIA – the motorsports industry's governing body.
From the start, WEC knew that in order for the series to run smoothly, there was a need for outstanding performance in logistics as well, particularly as the races not only test the stamina and skill of the drivers but also the durability and reliability of their cars.
Recognizing DHL's longstanding experience and expertise in the area of motorsports logistics, they appointed DHL exclusive Logistics Partner of FIA WEC shortly after the series was launched in 2012. The partnership with WEC is the perfect showcase for our professional logistics capabilities, as the range of services we deliver to the Championship organisers and teams very much reflects what we do for everyday customers. Our role includes booking of planes and managing customs clearance of freight whether it's travelling by air, ground or sea. We work with the teams to ensure precision of export and import documentation which is vital to ensure smooth on-time delivery and we also prepare load-plans, provide packing materials and handle ad-hoc shipments.
WEC is now one of the fastest growing global motorsports, attracting more than 133 million fans. In 2017 the event calendar features nine races in countries including Britain, Bahrain, Germany, Japan, Shanghai and the USA.
DHL teams are made up of highly skilled and dedicated professionals who feel passionate about playing their own part in every thrilling event. Whilst the drivers may be battling it out on the track, DHL and WEC's own experts work together in the paddocks and behind the scenes to ensure that every detail is perfect and that everything runs impeccably.
FIA WEC is all about speed, perfection and endurance and these are the very qualities they look for from DHL. We are proud to deliver them every single time.
