Rodeo Boy - Susan Laurencot
The old man pushed the child to the ground, not hard enough to hurt him, but hard enough to knock him down and make him cry.
"What're you, a wuss? Get up, boy!" Joey, eight-years-old but already on to this man, stared into the dirt, trying to carve out a hole in the earth. He wasn't concerned that the hole he bore might take him straight to Hell. Looking up through his too-long, too-thick little boy bangs, he could see the mountains, imposing from his position in the shit speckled dust-- shit too fine to shovel, but not too fine to make his knees and hands stink. The sky, though he didn't dare look up at it, was blue and clear. This landscape framed the child, head down, on his hands and knees, like he was the subject in a Bierstadt landscape. A sinister light pushed towards him; the too-glaring sun illuminating him in the same way it would bleach the bones of dead cattle. His grandfather, large enough to block the mountains, stood in front of him; not even this towering physique could soften the sun.
"Come on, get up!"
Joey barely teetered to his feet before his grandfather pushed him down again.
"Hah! Can't stand up, huh? What? Now you're going to cry? Why're you crying? Did I hurt you? Your feelins' hurt? What're ya cryin' about? Come on, try again. Get up!" the old man taunted.
"My wrist hurts." Joey wanted this to come out stronger, but it sounded more like a whimper. He'd meant to sound angry, to let his grandfather know that someday he'd get even. Instead, he just sounded like a baby. He hated his baby voice. His grandfather did, too.
"No, it don't. Your wrist don't hurt. Suck it up, boy! Stop cryin'!"
"Stop it, Dad, you're being too hard on him. Come on, Joey. Get up." His mother, Sunny, came to his rescue, but she didn't rush over to him. Didn't want to baby him. She resisted the urge to pick him up and kiss him. She avoided looking at him, or at her father. This was between them, she thought. "Go on. Do as he says. Get up." She said it nicely, but not like he was hurt or anything. She acted like he didn't really need her. She went back to brushing her horse. The black Arabian was everything she once said she wanted. It was a consolation prize from her husband when she gave up bull riding after she found out she was pregnant. She assured everyone that this horse, along with her husband, and a healthy baby would be all she would ever need again.
"And stop crying, for Chrissake. Do you want to go inside? Do you want to go play hopscotch with the little girls?" His grandfather was on a roll. There'd be no stopping him until Joey broke.
"No," Joey croaked out. He used his bangs as a shield.
"What's that?" His grandfather roughly pulled Joey's hair back, forcing the boy to look him in the eyes, or if not in the eyes, at least to show his face. "What'd ya say?"
"No!" Joey yelled.
"No? What then? What do you want to do?"
"I want to ride sheep."
"What? What're you mumblin'?"
"I want to ride sheep!"
"Sheep?!" His grandfather laughed. "You're not a baby anymore! Sheep! Dammit, kid. You say that like that's somethin' to be proud of. Crap. Them big, fluffy mamas like you ridin' em. It ain't nothin' when you win that. It's like ridin' a friggin merry-go-round for cryin' out loud. You like ridin', right? You like it? We're gettin' you on a bull soon. Real soon, so get used to falling, kid. Get used to landing in the dirt. Get used to the taste of shit in your mouth."
Joey walked away, throwing a handful of dust in his grandfather's direction.
"Thatta boy. Good job." He finally smiled. Already deep lines deepened further around his eyes. Usually, Joey liked these lines because it meant approval, but today he didn't even bother to look to see if they'd appeared. He just walked away, kicking up clouds of stinking dirt, trying not to let on that it was getting into his eyes and bothering him. The old man was proud to see Joey stick up for himself. "You baby that kid too much," he turned his criticism toward Sunny.
"And you're too tough on him." Sunny refused to look in his direction, focusing instead on the animal she was still grooming. She purposefully slowed down the brushing--head, back haunches. One quick swipe over the top of a back leg.
"Look, the kid's talented. He can ride."
"Yep, he can. He rides pretty good for an eight-year-old." Deliberate strokes--head, back, haunches, quick swipe.
"Sure does. Reminds me of you in the day."
Sunny kept brushing. "Not really."
"Whadd'ya mean, not really? Yeah really," her father began to walk over to her but thought better of it. He had to shield his eyes to keep looking at her. Damn mid-afternoon sun could be a killer. He stood apart from her. It was awkward between them. He was talking to her back, a view he'd gotten used to since her teens. Always turning her back on him, that one. She was quite the rider before she got pregnant with Joey. Not great, but gutsy. That girl hung on, and when she fell, she exploded with anger. Broke her hand once, not from a fall, but from punching the gate afterward. That's the kind of competitor she was. Gutsy and mad. The worst combination of woman the rodeo guys used to tease. She set out to beat everyone, though it was nearly impossible, and it almost never happened. Still, she loved everything about the rodeo--including the smell of the animals. She loved how loud it was. She loved being covered in a fine layer of dirt from the time they got there until she stood in the hot shower in some motel room, watching the muddy water whirl around her feet and into the drain. She loved the trophies she won sometimes. The wins were frequent at first but came less and less as she grew older and the boys got stronger. She still had all her helmets on a shelf in her closet. Joey loved to put them on, too. They were pink when she was younger, but by the time she was fourteen, she had traded in the bubblegum sweetie-pie look for a shiny black version. At eighteen, she spent her winnings on a helmet that made her look like a knight. It was still black, but she had paid an artist at the mall to airbrush orange and red flames that spread toward the cage around her face. That helmet was her pride and joy. By the time she got to competitions where the boys were as big as men, she stopped bringing home trophies altogether. No one, not even her father, could convince her to compete against other girls. So the men lined up, smiling at each other, wincing in the glaring sunshine, sure of their conquest. Except for Joe. Joe beat her in the arena every time, but it was never an easy win. The bull-riding against her was easy, sure. Watching her lose, now that hurt him. Didn't stop him, though.
"Hey!" her father called to her. "When's that husband of yours coming back?"
"After the tour," she yelled back at him.
"That kid needs his father to show him the ropes."
"He's fine, Dad," she stopped and turned to look at him. "He's fine. Leave him be."
"Yeah. Leave him be. He'll amount to nothin' if I leave him be. Up to you, he'd still be in diapers."
Sunny ignored him, pretending that she didn't hear a word he said. She was tough enough on the kid. He was eight. He didn't need to be any tougher than he already was. It was she who needed to toughen up. She'd lost her edge when she got pregnant with him. Quit bull riding as soon as she found out. Protecting him from the get-go.
"Hey, Jo-Jo. What's up, kiddo?" She also pulled his bangs out of his eyes, those eyes that were identical to his dad's, though everyone else thought they saw her in them.
"My wrist really does hurt."
"No, it doesn't, Buddy. It's mind over matter. Go put some ice on it, and do something else. It'll go away. I promise." Her smile went right through him. His mom's smile. He couldn't get enough of it; he'd do anything it took to make her smile. "Go on, now. Get outta here." She'd look at his wrist tonight, just to make sure nothing was broken. She checked her irritation at him. After all, maybe it did hurt him. "Hey, Joey. Love you, Bud." He ran and crashed into her, hugging her so hard she nearly fell over. "Come on, now. Not so hard! Your mom is a weakling." Her hand shaded her eyes from the afternoon sun. At about 1:00, the Colorado ranch became as dry as the desert. It was always at about this time that she would imagine the Wild West. As a kid, she'd had those stiff, plastic dolls and horses, The Wests, from the Old West. The joints allowed the arms and legs to bend in unnatural positions, but Johnny and Jane West were her best companions. Johnny was dressed all in brown from his hat to his boots, and Jane in fashionable robin's egg blue. She'd saved them and had hoped that Joey would love them as much as she had, but he just left them outside. She found Jane in a hay bale once and hid both dolls behind her helmets after that. The plastic horses, Joey treasured--both Thunderbolt and Flame. The Wests' Indian guide and friend, Chief Cherokee, had long been lost, left behind at some rodeo in Texas as best as Sunny could remember it.
"No, you're not. You're strong as a bull!" His voice startled her back to adulthood.
She snorted at him, huffed some loud, mean breaths, scraped the ground with her boots, then roared at him, tickling him at the same time. "Go! Go away!" She laughed and patted his bottom, pretending to spank him.
"I'm going, Mom! I'm going! I'll make you some iced-tea. You want some?"
"Sure," she hollered back. "Make sure you clean up the mess you make, though!" Sometimes when she spoke with her son she felt a little like she was babysitting; like she was having this conversation with a neighbor's child. Even after eight years, she sometimes had to remind herself that she was the mom and the wife. She was the little lady in charge.
"Two scoops?"
"One for each glass!"
"Got it!" He did seem to be favoring his right arm.
"You need to use that wrist! Don't baby it!" she yelled to him. She watched him wince as he shook it out. Maybe her father was right. He was kind of delicate. Not like her at all. Or his dad. "Where'd you come from?" she yelled to him.
"Nothing, Baby. We're going to get you up on a bull soon! A calf! They're MEAN! The meanest calf we can find!" He waved at her with his right arm, as if to let her know that he was as brave as she was. She threw him another smile, and he ran off. She checked herself again. Sunny was annoyed lately more and more at her boy. She loved him. No question about that. And her father was right; he rode better than any kid she'd ever seen ride. He'll be better than Joe, Sr., she thought. Last she'd heard from Joe, he had won big in Houston and was heading to Oklahoma. He was a shoe-in there, too. The money wasn't bad. Especially with them living with her father. He'd be in Colorado by mid-month, and they'd get to be a family then. She was considering following him to Wyoming and maybe even Reno. She'd have to have a meeting with the school again if she did. Or leave Joey behind with her father. They talked about homeschooling him so he could ride the winter circuit. If he was really going to do this, it was inevitable.
Sunny watched Joey through the kitchen window standing on a chair, scooping out instant tea into two tall, plastic cups. He's gonna make a mess, she thought. And my father is going to have a fit. She took a deep breath and shook her head. She kicked the dirt to stir it up, put her hands into her pockets, looked up at the sky for just a second. She exhaled long enough to feel oxygen deprived and crave a breath in. Better go save him, she thought to herself. That boy needs saving.
"Hey, Joe. Let's clean this mess up, ok? Granddad isn't going to like this." Poor kid was smiling ear to ear until she walked in.
"How come he gets so mad at me, Ma?"
"I don't know. He's like a mean old hornet sometimes. That's all. It's him, Dude. Not you."
"Uh uh. It's me. He gets really, really mad at me. Do you get mad at me like that?"
"You know sometimes I get mad, Joey. What kind of a question is that?"
"I mean, do you get hateful mad at me?"
"No, Joey. I never hate you. Neither does Granddad."
"Neither does Granddad what?" Her father came into the kitchen. "Hope you're cleaning this mess up," he said.
"That's just what we're doing, right, Joe-Joe?"
"I asked my mom if she ever hates me like you do," his honesty cut right through Sunny.
Her father didn't respond. He just looked at the two of them and left the kitchen.
"See? He does hate me."
Sunny heard the tv go on in the living room.
"No, he doesn't. He just doesn't know any other way."
"Was he like this with you, when you were a little girl?"
"Nope. He's gotten all sour, Joey. I don't know why." But she did know why. It was the moment she and Joe announced they had eloped. Her parents sat at the kitchen table looking at their hands; then her father had simply gotten up and left the room. Her mother, Diana, had cried.
"I would have liked to have been there," she'd said. Sunny could practically see her broken heart. "I've always thought I'd see you get married."
"I'm pregnant, Mom." Sunny blurted it out to distract her mother from her ache.
"A baby!" Her mother clapped her hands and cried even harder. "A baby! Frank! Frank! You're gonna be a grandpa!" she yelled.
They all heard the front door slam.
"Don't worry, kids. Dad will come around! Where will you live?" Joe and Sunny shot each other quick looks. Diana caught on immediately. "Here?! Oh, of course, here! Where else would you go? You can have the guest house in the back. It will be cozy, but with Joe gone most of the time, you'll be just fine alone there, Sunny." They laughed.
"Thanks, Mom. That's one way of looking at it."
"Oh, you'll be fine, both of you. You'll be off the circuit now, right?" She directed her question to her daughter.
"Yes, Mom. I'm done with riding." She saw her father out in the ring with the horses. He'd be disappointed in her decision not to ride anymore, but he must have seen the writing on the wall. She wasn't that good. Not good enough. Even he must have already seen that.
"So when did he get so mean?" Joey once again intruded on her thoughts.
"I don't know, maybe after Grandma died. He took it hard." This was a much cleaner explanation. Sunny's mother must have known she was sick, but never let on. Just before Joey's first birthday, she finally let her family know. She had died before he turned two. It would be reasonable that this is what turned her father into such an angry man. But Sunny knew better. She knew it in her heart. She felt it, maybe as strongly as he did.
"Whatta think about ridin' a calf soon?" she thought it was time to change the subject.
Joey stirred the drink a little harder, spilling some in the process.
"No opinion?" she teased him, nudging him, perhaps a little too hard, nearly knocking him off the chair he was standing on. He handed her the iced tea.
"Seriously, Joe. What do you think?" She tried to hide her irritation at him, but her voice was strained.
"I dunno," was all he could say.
"You don't know? Honestly, Joey? You don't know whether or not you want to ride anymore?"
"No, Mom! I don't know! I don't think so; I don't know!" Joey rarely yelled at Sunny. He wasn't like other kids in that way. He did what he was told when he was told and always seemed happy to do it. He took her completely off guard.
"What? Are you kidding me? No? You said no," Sunny stepped back a little bit. "You said no. So that's it. You're done riding." She said it like it was his punishment like he should be ashamed of himself like he could find no redemption, ever, from this decision, this decision made at eight years old.
"No, I didn't, Ma. I didn't mean no. I just meant I don't know." He was quieter but desperate to win back her approval.
Sunny put her hands over her face. "You tell him," she said quietly.
"Yes. It's your decision, so you tell him."
Joey jumped off the chair and ran outside. Good, Sunny thought. God damn it! Let him go! But then she felt a sickly guilt. She knew she'd regret this. She knew she'd wish later that she'd run after him and kissed him to make it all better. She knew this, but still, she just stood in the kitchen, cleaning up the mess, putting the chair back, feeling the shame of so many failures creep up from the kitchen tiles, through her boots, up her legs and settle, for a lifetime, in her heart.

Useful Tips & Tricks to Help You Improve Your Posture
The go-to resource for planning your yoga retreats & holidays. Find all you need to know about destinations and take your practice to the next level.
Discover Yoga Retreats now
Having a good posture will make you look more confident, slim and tall. Yes, this looks like a simple thing to do, but most people have lost their posture over the years.
Long working hours combined with sitting are affecting your spine making it strained and curved. Our daily routines tend to consume us to the level where we forget to think about health and to work on our well-being. Luckily, there are plenty of methods and guidelines to follow if you wish to improve your posture. Below, you will find some helpful tips and tricks for achieving it.
Benefits of a good posture
First of all, a good posture will facilitate your internal organs to work properly. Everything has to be aligned in order to function properly. Good body alignment will balance your body weight, so you won't feel back and neck pain anymore. Your lungs will have more space to expand, so good posture will ensure better breathing. Once you feel better, you'll look better. Looking at your good posture, other people will recognize that you are confident and powerful.
Your mental performance and concentration will increase as well. With a better breathing, your brain will get more oxygen, which is crucial for its proper functioning. With all these improvements combined, you'll start feeling much better and happier. Therefore, good posture will indirectly affect your self-esteem and improve your mood.
Achieve good posture while standing
In order to earn a good standing posture, you'll need to align the ears, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. All of this points should make a straight line. The hardest thing to correct is the positioning of your shoulders. It can be difficult putting them back and leaving them there, especially if you didn't do it for years. But don't worry, all you need to do is put a little bit of time and effort into it.
You can align your shoulders with a simple move. Straighten your arms and let them fall beside your body. Your shoulders will be in the right position the moment your thumbs are facing forward. Another good exercise is standing against the wall. That way, you'll get used to a good posture.
Achieve good posture while sitting
Improper sitting is the number one cause for bad posture. Long working hours, looking at the monitor and checking your phone will certainly do some damage. While sitting, people let the chair dominate their posture, and not the spine, as it should be. First of all, make sure to get up every 35 to 45 minutes and take a break. Walk a little bit, engage your spine by stretching and doing some light exercises. Another good way of keeping a good posture is to get yourself a standing desk. Be careful now, since standing all day is as bad as sitting all day. Try alternating between those positions.
While you're sitting, just keep in mind to line up your ears and shoulders. You should hold this position the whole day, but make sure to stay relaxed. If you don't do it that way, you'll continue to feel the tension and that's as bad as improper posture. At the end, try to keep your feet resting flat on the floor while keeping your knees and hips bent at an angle of 90 degrees.
Practice yoga to achieve good posture
Photo by Matt Madd
This ancient method will help you on so many levels. Yoga will strengthen your body and your mind. By practicing yoga, you'll improve your focus and concentration, and your muscles will tighten up, leading to a better posture. There are a lot of asanas (postures) that will do miracles for your well-being. Don't hesitate a minute, put your mat on the floor, get into your yoga tights and start stretching.
The first thing you'll develop while practicing yoga is awareness. Needless to say, awareness of your body and its position in space is the root of good posture. You should start with following asanas:
- Mountain pose (Tadasana) – for correct standing
- Cobra pose (Bhujangsana) – for opening up the chest and shoulders
- All-direction back stretch – for strengthening your back muscles and lengthening the spine
- Cat stretch (Marjariasana) – for spine flexibility
- Child pose (Shishu Asana) – for relaxing shoulders and the entire back
- Warrior Pose (Virabhadrasana) – for relaxing your shoulder plates and massaging the lower back and knees
- Chair pose (Utakasana) – for warming-up your knees, hips and lower back
Once you master these basic postures, feel free to continue expanding your knowledge in this area. Yoga started conquering western civilization, and it's not by accident.
Final thoughts
Get started with the exercises mentioned above and you'll soon be on the path to improving your well-being. Make yoga your daily routine. It will not only improve your posture, it will increase your overall health. Your focus and concentration will be better, and therefore your work productivity will escalate.
You too can improve your posture and say goodbye to back and neck pain. Join a yoga retreat and reap the many benefits of this ancient practice.

Changes to Scunthorpe Hospital telephone numbers could cause disruption warning
Patients wanting to make calls to Scunthorpe Hospital are being warned of potential disruption to phone lines, which will change on March 1.
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust are installing a new telephone system which will bring new ways for staff to communicate and see the Trust move over to non-geographical numbers.
All internal extension numbers are being re-numbered as part of the upgrade. In future from March 1 personal numbers given to patients will no longer be valid and patients will have to go through the Scunthorpe Hospital switchboard – 01724 282282 – number.
Direct dial numbers at the Trust will be replaced with numbers starting 03033. These are charged at local call rate.
Geographical numbers – example those starting 01724/01472/01405 – will remain in use for a number of months after the switch over before being phased out (apart from the main switchboard numbers which will remain in service).
Steve Mattern, associate director of IM&T services, said: "I'd like to ask people's patience during the switch over period and encourage anyone who experiences difficulty to call the switchboard numbers direct."

The Inside.
I was recently in Miami for a quick recharge at 1 Hotel South Beach. The hotel was full of natural woods, bright light and comfortable seating. Photographing and appreciating the details of this interior space was very rewarding. It opened me up to a whole new style of photography and pushed me out of my normal element. There are potential photographs all around us, you just have to look!
Have fun out there!

Tomislav Salopek (Image taken from Islamic State video)
Wilyat Sina (Sinai Province) an affiliate with the Islamic State has released an image on social media alleging the beheading of Tomislav Salopek (age 30) who was taken hostage on July 22nd 2015 in Egypt. A caption read, "execution of prisoner from Croatia – which has participated in war on IS – after deadline ended."
The kidnappers had earlier called for the release of female Muslim prisoners stating Salopek would be killed within 48 hours if the demands were not met.
Salopek, a father of two, who disappeared from the outskirts of Cairo was employed by CGG Ardiseis, a French oil and gas geoscience company. His father Zlatko who lives in Vrpolje, East Croatia appealed for his release several days ago telling AFP, "I am asking the people who hold my son to let him return to his family, because his motive to go to your homeland was exclusively to earn bread for his children. Nothing else."
IS image of beheading taken from video
Within the image are 2 reports from Egyptian media. The first is detailing Croatia's support for Egypt fighting terrorism, a second covers Croatia's support for the Kurds who fight against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Croatian forces are also part of the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq and serve in Afghanistan. The photograph of the alleged beheading could not be independently verified.

What do you do with a calculator?
25 November 2016
When should we start using calculators at school? A good question, which I am best to stay away from! This question is loaded with too many arguments concerning the role of rote learning in a young person's development. Yes, it hurts! But there is reason to believe it's the way to build pattern recognition and to free up thinking for harder problems. I will let that debate go on.
What I can share is that while mathematicians would never use calculators (only at the restaurant to split a bill maybe?), what they do work with a lot is computational software. Around the world mathematicians are working mostly with Matlab, Maple, Mathematica and Magma. And Magma was created here in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney by Professor John Cannon in 1993. Professor Cannon still heads the team that maintains and continues to develop the program. His work is an important addition to the global mathematical community. We are very proud!
So, what do these programs do? What are they for?
Matlab is primarily for numerical computing and is used a lot by engineers and economists. Say I wanted to map pressure points on a structure for different types of loads, model detailed electricity consumptions to build power grids, or run millions of simulations to pinpoint the optimal dose for a particular drug; to Matlab I would turn! For such problems you become a numerical detective to find what combination of numbers will optimise your outcome. Matlab easily lets you solve the same equation over and over again for millions of different number possibilities.
Maple and Mathematica are more attuned for symbolic computation. So for example, you could literally just type in the following symbols xe-2xdx - a question from the 2016 Higher School Certificate Mathematics Extension 2 exam - and upon the press of the 'enter' key the result would appear. These two programs could do most questions on such mathematics exams in a flash actually!
We must remember that programs don't do any thinking though. We humans still have to do that. Which is why we still need to teach mathematics! It's the grind work these programs can help with. I always think of William Shanks who in 1873 after 15 years of calculation gave us π to 707 decimal places. We wouldn't do that anymore! Well...you could if you wanted to, but I wouldn't!
Maple and Mathematica are considered healthy competitors. Mathematica is particularly good at producing 3D graphics relevant to certain mathematics questions. Maple is particularly user-friendly and makes it easy to encapsulate your ideas in its programing language. That's just my view, anyway.
This leads us to Magma. Magma is all about attempting to approximate as closely as possible mathematical modes of thought and notation. It's therefore also based on capturing and working with the exact underlying structure of the mathematics. It's used very much at the core of mathematical discovery. Magma is particularly good at manipulating enormous numbers in exact form, which makes it instrumental for cryptography and error-correcting codes. But some other of its specialities include 'Lattices', 'Homological Algebra', 'Finite Incidence Geometry' and 'Differential Galois Theory' - highly abstract mathematics! It's the tool to have at the forefront of mathematical research where, in looking for patterns in the most abstract of mathematical structures, you might get Magma to unravel patterns in a gigantic number of structures first. Seeing what is revealed by Magma, you form a conjecture on a larger pattern, that you then set out to prove formally. Because showing that something is true for a googolplex (ten raised to the power of a googol) of examples, still does not constitute unanimous proof!
It was not uncommon for these initial pattern discoveries to take decades of hand labour before Magma. Now, armed with computing power, the sophistication has grown so that even Magma, spread over a bunch of computers working together, could still take over a year! That's right. You press 'enter' and had better find something else to do!
But we still have to return to find the greater logical steps for that proof. Can't computers do that too? There is belief that in the not too distant future, computers may be able to check all proofs produced. But the consensus about the proof itself seems to be that any possibility that computers could do that as well remains utter science fiction.
So mathematicians are as highly connected to technology today as everyone else. But whether it's Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, Magma, calculators, or anything else, the message is that we must stay aware of ourselves as the user who uses, not the user who has given up!

Science Blogs and the Power of the Grapevine
A recently published study in Journalism, titled "The science grapevine: Influence of blog information on the online media coverage of the 2010 arsenic-based life study," caught my eye this morning. Unfortunately, I couldn't *access the full text of the study online or through my University library, so I requested a PDF from the author (but got the PDF much more quickly via #IcanhazPDF).
*For a study on science blogs, I think it is unfortunate that this paper was so inaccessible. As a SAGE journal, Journalism technically allows authors to post their preprints AND postprints to their personal or institutional websites.
The study, authored by Gunver Vestergaard at Cornell University, provides a case study for how blogs influenced media coverage of the "fatally flawed" 2010 arsenic-based life study.
The authors proclaimed to have discovered a bacterium, which could substitute arsenic for phosphorus to sustain its growth. The study was abruptly scrutinized by bloggers and a media storm arose. – Vestergaard, 2016
Vestergaard applies grapevine communication theory to how blogs spread information about the controversial arsenic life study in the weeks after its publication. Science blogs today serve as a platform for "informal, conversational peer review," and often cover new scientific research more critically than do large media outlets.
While the grapevine in general is defined as transmission of rumors and gossip from person to person, the goal of grapevine communication theory is to analyze 'the informal and unsanctioned information network within every organization' (Mishra, 1990). […] [T]he grapevine is the most vigorous in times of stress, scandal or controversy (Mishra, 1990). – Vestergaard, 2016
This is not to say that science blogs are rumor mills. But rather that blogs serve as platforms for informal conversations whereby controversies and misinformation can be quickly debated by scientists and non-scientists alike.
Vestergaard looked at media and blog coverage surrounding the arsenic life study. She found via Altmetric data that the study generated "an unusual amount of blog attention" but only moderate attention on Facebook and Twitter. Vestergaard concluded that "attention given to the [arsenic life] study predominantly came from media and the scientific community without resonating with the broader public."
In particular, one blog post criticizing the study, authored by biologist Rosie Redfield on RRResearch, garnered more than 90,000 "hits" within a week.
With the advent of social media, including science blogs, scientists were provided with informal communication networks accessible for the public and mass media. Science blogs especially work as 'back doors' and provide 'access to the inner workings of science' as Trench (2012) argues with reference to Latour (1987). These informal communication channels can be perceived coherently as a science grapevine, which is comparable to the commonly known grapevine in organizations. – Vestergaard, 2016
In her paper, Vestergaard analyzed how blogs about the arsenic life study influenced the nature of online newspaper coverage of the study. She analyzed 47 articles for a number of "frames" or specific themes.
Via this "framing analysis," Vestergaard found that once Rosie Redfield's blog reached a critical mass of attention from the mass media, news outlets rather abruptly stopped covering the arsenic life study with a "gee whiz" frame ("overwhelmingly positive description of the research") and veered toward covering criticism of the research.
[T]he critical frames were heavily relying on blog material, while few extra sources were added independently in the news articles. Exceptions to this pattern include Carl Zimmer, who on two separate news blogs included the criticism from 12 additional researchers, and a news article on nature.com, which included three extra critical sources. – Vestergaard, 2016
Based on the analysis, Vestergaard concluded that while critical blog posts did not trigger most mass media outlets to include more original sources or engage in original debate about the arsenic life study, these blog posts did influence media coverage by providing information that mass media outlets then picked up and incorporated into their stories.
Of course, social media also served as a source of misinformation in the early days of coverage of the arsenic life study. Rumors flew around about the discovery of alien life. But critical blog posts written by scientists and science writers "were crucial in changing the framing of the story from Gee Whiz to a critical frame," Vestergaard writes.
Vestergaard's study challenges traditional conceptions about how mass media and professional journalists set the agenda for social media coverage of events and research. Science blogs are increasingly offering alternative perspectives that in turn influence media coverage of scientific research. It looks like science bloggers and journalists are working together to set the agenda for science news, neither being the ultimate agenda-setter.

Everyone knows I LOVE HALLOWEEN! It's always been a big deal in our house...even now when there's noone but me to share in the festivities. I still get all excited by the trick-or-treaters. And, I still buy way too much candy. I'll never learn that lesson; but that's just one of many lessons I'll never learn.
One Halloween lesson I've learned is that I'm moving my car this year. Last year one of my windows got smashed in by some Halloween hooligans. I don't necessarily think it will happen again, but I'm not taking any chances with my new Prius. I'm parking it elsewhere. Last year could have been a 'freak' incident....when these kids drove through our village and randomly went up and down streets and smashed in windows just for the fun of it........not my type of fun, I guess. It's these kinds of moments that can sour anyone any turn us all into MAXINES! EEEEK!
Oh for the days when I was making those crazy homemade costumes. One year Jory and Julie were a pair of dice (I guess that would be die, wouldn't it?) They were entombed in boxes with holes for their arms and heads and wore decorated paper plates for their hats. It took me forever to cut out circles for all of the sides of their die. I think Jenna was Snoopy and Joe was a clown. Then there was the year the twins were Lipton tea bags. It's really rare to see a child come to the door in a homemade costume anymore. Oh how I miss those days.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE.....and to you too Maxine, you feisty old broad. Love, Joy

Happy February! How's your month going? I'm back from my vacation in Cyprus now and on my way to speak at a conference (nothing like getting right back to work!). I hope the first week of February has been exciting for you too!
This month, I decided to do something a bit different. I've decided to focus on the topic of love, and I'll be sharing tidbits of "love"-ly wisdom with you all month.
Before you groan, bear with me. Love has gotten a bad reputation in the "career" and "analytical" world - but I believe it has a very important place indeed.
In fact, I believe you need to prioritize LOVE over everything else.
Here's my lesson from prioritizing love.
7 years ago, I moved away from my family, friends, job and community.
I didn't do it for another job.
I didn't do it because I wanted to or because it was to follow a dream.
I didn't even do it for myself.
I did it for love.
{Insert cringes from every independent woman reading this here}
This month, I'm talking about love. Today, my story centers around romantic love but it could just as easily revolve around love for adventure, a career, a dream, a hobby or a passion.
When I moved to Fort McMurray, Alberta for romantic love - this new boyfriend named Troy - everyone was shocked. Myself included.
I was ambitious and had big dreams for myself.
I had big dreams of working in Shanghai, Singapore and Sydney.
I thrived on adventure. Career growth. Personal success.
I loved my (Vancouver) Island life. And I had a strong network and community to prove it.
What the heck was a fierce, independent woman like me following a man?!?!
(Note - I wasn't that "independent" as my parents are quick to point out but I sure could rock to the Destiny's Child song like I was one).
So what was a woman like me doing following a man?
Why was I giving up on everything I had?
Most importantly, why was I giving up on my dreams?
I was following my heart.
I was leading with love.
This is something not a lot of people understand. In fact, our society often frowns upon making decisions leading with love.
My well-intentioned friends staged interventions for me. (Literally. I'm shocked there wasn't a camera crew there to capture the tearful denial I must have appeared to be in).
Even my logical brain couldn't comprehend it.
But somewhere deep inside, in my intuition (that I didn't even know I had), it felt right.
7 years later, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
It was the right decision for my love (the romantic one). Troy and I are now very happily married. By moving to Fort McMurray, it allowed him to continue the career he loved and share the home he had made as we built a home and a life together.
It was an amazing decision for my career. I was promoted quicker than I ever imagined. And the experience and mentorship I got was unparalleled. The only thing that grew faster than my career was my own development and sense of self.
Financially, it was a fantastic move. We became self-made millionaires, own amazing real estate, and I've grown my business from a place of abundance.
Living in Fort McMurray taught me about community. I gained an incredible sense of neighbourhood, commraderie and support.
Being away from my family, I learned the true meaning of the saying "friends are the family you choose for yourself." And boy, have I chosen a fantastic family of friends.
It was a (surprisingly) great decision for my sense of adventure. I learned to drive a big truck, drive in the snow, and survive -40 celcius winters. I ice-fished, quadded, snowmobiled, went chicken hunting, and learned to snowboard.
And travel?! Travel, I did. Together, Troy and I have been to almost 30 countries. We've had countless backpacking adventures, and, at the same time, stayed in some of the best hotels in the world and eaten in Michelin-starred restaurants (I'm a complete foodie!).
Our adventures haven't just been about us. Our adventures keep us connectedwith those we love. We were blessed to be able to reply "yes" to wedding invites and watch our friends say "I Do" in the Yukon, Hawaii, Mexico, New Zealand, and even China.
7 years later, I sit in our amazing home in Vancouver, living the life I would have imagined only in my wildest dreams 7 years earlier.
I tell you this NOT to brag. My intention is not to boast or to impress you.
My intention is to show you what's possible.
And to show you what can happen when you lead with love.
Today, I live in downtown Vancouver.
I have a career and a business I love.
I don't worry about money.
I've travelled the world and continue to.
I am surrounded by amazing friends. (Literally surrounded - friends from home to the West and Fort McMurray friends to the East and beyond!
These are all the things I said I wanted.
These are also all the things, 7 years ago, that I worried I was saying goodbye to. Or sacrificing. Or giving up on.
But it turns out, when you put love first, everything else falls into place.
When I say you need to prioritize LOVE, I'm talking about the kind of love that uplifts you. Inspires you. Makes you joyful to think about.
The kind of love where sacrifices don't seem like they are.
There are many different types of love in the world.
If your energy, your love, is positive, it will never steer you wrong.
To be clear, I'm not talking about the love that makes us feel guilty. Or the love that exhausts us. Or love that makes us feel we are never good enough for.
Don't prioritize any love that takes advantage of you or takes you for granted.
In fact, I'll argue love shouldn't guilt/exhaust/belittle/drain us. And, in any of these situations, you are not leading with love.
Even though my story revolves around romantic love, when I'm talking about love, not just talking about the person you love.
I'm talking about what it is you give your love to. Which could be a person.. or a cause... or a dream.
I'm talking about the energy you bring to the relationship, regardless of what thatrelationship is with.
If your energy, your love, is positive, it will never steer you wrong.
It will not be without challenges. It may not be perfect. In fact, it will probably be messy.
But it will always be worth it.
So this week, as you get going on your to-dos and tasks and activities, I want you to reflect and ask yourself:
- Where is your love?
- What's your intuition telling you? What if you made that decision leading with love?
- What in your life is bringing you that energizing, joyful, passionate love?
- And how can you create more of that love? Every. Single. Day.
Follow your love.
- Lisa
Success Coach
PS. Love is awesome. It's what we all need more of. It's what the world needs more of. For the month of February, each of my blogs will share insights about love to bring more of it to your life and our world.
Let's celebrate love!

October 22, 2015
SARNIA, October 22, 2015 – Lambton College continues to receive national recognition for its growth in applied research and development. According to Research Infosource Inc., which released its annual list of Canada's Top 50 Research Colleges today, Lambton College currently sits 11th overall in the national rankings.
The findings are based on data obtained through a survey of publicly-funded colleges and from financial statements which include funding received from both internal and external sources to the organizations.
In 2014, Lambton College recorded a 70.3 per cent increase in research revenue, totalling $5,292,000, up from $3,108,000 in 2013. Provincially, Lambton College ranked fourth among all Ontario research colleges.
The rankings also revealed that Lambton College ranked fourth in Canada for both growth and intensity (dollars to faculty involved).
"This is a great year for Lambton College" said Ron Freedman, CEO of Research Infosource. "Not only did Lambton College jump six places, landing in the eleventh spot in our Research Infosource national rankings for research income, they managed to break the top five in both research income growth and researcher intensity. These numbers reinforce Lambton College's position as a leader in applied research and development in Ontario and across the country."
Earlier this year, Lambton College launched a new Centre of Excellence in Energy & Bio-Industrial Technology, with a strong focus on supporting industries and businesses through applied research, development, commercialization, incubation, prototyping and pilot plant studies, and projects to develop new or improved technologies, products and processes.
"Lambton College is very proud to be a leader in applied research," says Judith Morris, President & CEO, Lambton College. "Our projects are faculty-led and provide our students with real-life applied research experience. This success will allow us to continue to support our industry while contributing to the economic growth of the province. Moving forward, Lambton College will continue to stand out nationally by leveraging our unique strengths as a global leader in applied research and development."
Lambton College's Applied Research Department was formed in 2007. Since then, the college has received more than $15 million in funding from federal and provincial agencies.
Last year, Lambton College carried out 57 research projects with direct involvement of 65 research students, 29 faculty and staff researchers, 17 research co-op placements, and five college graduates.
The findings report that Canada's 50 leading research colleges posted a record total of $158 million in research income for their 2014 fiscal year, up 4.7 per cent over 2013.

State Fish and Wildlife say the closure is based on spawning surveys and harvest information available to date. They are concerned that winter chum returns aren't abundant as forecast, and has the potential to fall short of the escapement goal. The Nisqually Tribe are also closing their respective fisheries for chum salmon. The river is closed to the retention of wild steelhead. Comments

Virtual Frog Dissection
A high school in Southern California has banned dissections in biology class.
June 6, 2011
Students at Rancho Verde High School in Moreno Valley, Calif., will now be dissecting frogs virtually during biology class. The school reached an agreement with the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) and Save the Frogs (STF) to use the new Digital Frog 2.5 software for five years, and is the first school in the nation to use the new technology. Both AWI and STF have offered the software (a $900 value) to the first 25 schools who agree to the five-year ban on dissections. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has created a similar program to help schools get the software in classrooms.

A standalone Black Widow film has reached a development stage, with a script being penned by Jac Schaeffer.
"Sources say this is still very early development," Variety reports, "as the film has no greenlight, but naming a writer is the closest the studio has come to moving forward on a standalone pic." The report also states Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige met with several potential candidates to write the film before choosing Schaeffer. Marvel execs have met with Black Widow actress Scarlett Johansson to discuss what they wanted in the script.
Schaeffer is best known for her writing efforts on TiMER, Mr. Stache, and Nasty Women.
Marvel has made no comment on the news.

Filed under VolkswagenGeneva Motor ShowGermanConceptsCoupes
Last year at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, German carmaker Volkswagen revealed the Cross Coupe Concept. Now, are they going to do the same at the Geneva Motor Show that will take place this year? Let?s see. The model presented this year gets a two tone red and silver exterior paint work, but the real difference is under the hood. The one revealed last year is powered by a plug-in petrol-electric hybrid system and this new one, by a turbo diesel four-cylinder unit with direct ingestion. This is not all. It also uses two electric motors, one at the front and the other at the back. Together with the TDI it has 1.8 liter/100 km fuel consumption in the new European Driving Cycle. Anyway, the model features an engine capable of delivering from 265 PS to 306 PS, power that enables the car to reach a top speed of 220 km/h.

- My face is 90% functional again!! Yeeey. I discovered a russian eczema cream my mom snuck into my luggage when I was moving and decided to try it as a last resort as it was getting really bad tot he point I couldn't make any facial expressions. My little 4 year old students are a bit more aloof from me unlike usual which makes me sad as they usually crawl all over me. And either my persistent diet for the last two weeks or the cream or a combination of both is finally working. I was so happy yesterday I snuck up to the roof of my apartment building at 3 am to dance tecktonik to lifelike on the edge of the roof. Adrenaline rush to the max. And someone set off fireworks to make things better.
@ Kuroi Hitsuji - With regards to drawing the more..um, private parts, a year of life drawing did great wonders in teaching me how to draw saggy triangular shaped boobs, so I think my old woman drawing skills will be quite refined if I ever need to draw an old woman, but sadly, most of the models we got were old, and those who were young and shapely were actually good models so I usually focused more on capturing the feeling of the pose rather than details. And in terms of male anatomy, I just usually skipped the whole bit. 50 year old thingamajigs aren't something I'm interested in drawing really...: )
As for the cursing, this indeed is very unlike her as she is extremely soft spoken. But ya know, metamorphosis is a major part of storytelling so perhaps this is where it begins. Dun dun dun.
@ Mangka-ka - Wow, I'm surprised to be hitting a personal note for you with the story! And that must have been a terrifying experience for you, I'm super sorry to hear that. We've had a similar story in our family, but my outlook on it is that it made me appreciate the family that loves me so much more than before. We find life lessons and moments of happiness in the oddest things I suppose. I hope it had a similar effect on you too in the long run. : )

There was a grave in Jesmond Old Cemetery - and it was sad and neglected. It belonged to a man named Thomas Burt. Thomas Burt was born in 1837 to a Backworth family and at the age of ten, he started working in the pits. He used to walk to Newcastle to buy books and use the library, where he taught himself to read and write, among other things. Later in his life he became involved in the trade unions and became an MP. This should strike you as an amazing story because it is.
I had never heard of this man until last week. Thankfully there are people in this city who have helped to raise funds to clean up the grave and tomorrow will celebrate the renovation which it clearly deserved. I was asked to make up some flowers for the occasion so I kept it fairly seasonal and even got some homegrown muscari and pear blossom in there. Much as I love weddings, it's nice to pick up a little commission like this and to learn something new.
It's just as well I love wedding work since there was a bit of it this weekend.
And just as I was mourning the fact that the spiraea would soon end, this happened. Just in case anyone is interested… they're back.

Escentric Molecules Body Washes
These intriguing body washes are as futuristic as the packaging looks. Escentric Molecules has always been in the front line of fragrance innovation, basing their scents around a single fragrant molecule: a synthetic called Iso E Super, at a concentration which was unprecedented. Another Escentric Molecules scent featured Ambroxan (nature-identicl to ambergris). All three scents are intriguing, and mysterious - and founder Geza Schoen wows us with his fresh spin on scent.
There's a key active ingredient in these washes, too: Energen - which contains two mountain plants (Sapindus mukorossi and Caesalpinia spinosa), which deliver a four-in-one action: energising and moisturising, while they scent and cleanse.
We love the space-age bottles, which very much fit with Escentric Molecules's vibe - and if you don't know the brand, can we suggest you sniff it out soon...?

text: grill. From Cleveland, a planeload of Buckeye boricuas will fly to New York, where Mayor Mike Bloomberg has already begun showing off his emerging Spanish skills. It's time for the National Puerto Rican Day parade which, much like Cinco de Mayo, is another annual American assessment of all things Latino. In case you're lost by now, a lechon is a slab of suckling pig and boricua is slang for Puerto Rican. I knew nothing about this stuff when I was introduced to the Puerto Rican parade 25 years ago after arriving in New York for college. My parents are Peruvian immigrants. I was fascinated by the enormity of Puerto Rican culture and the conundrum Puerto Rico created for the United States: How could a country have such an uneasy relationship with Latino immigration when it had nearly 4 million Spanish-speaking Latinos born into U.S. citizenship? The flag of the commonwealth of Puerto Rico looks a bit like an American flag knock-off with one distinct difference: The red and white stripes are joined by a big white star inside a dark blue triangle, a star too big to fit comfortably inside the American red, white and blue.Somewhere, out there in Winter Park, Florida, a lechon is about to hit the

FAMILY-OWNED Cheshire manufacturing company Coleherne is celebrating its centenary with record sales.
The company began life as the Glyco Metal Company of Droylsden, making a patented bearing used mainly in heavy engineering, especially the power generation industry on rotation equipment such as turbines.
That original design has stood the test of time. One hundred years later it is still being used by prestigious names in the industry, and the company is one of the leading plain bearing manufacturers in the UK.
But in a tough sector, the company, which has a 50-strong workforce, has had to diversify over the years. In the late 80s, the present managing director, Peter Fahey joined the company, bringing with him his expertise of laser technology gained in the motor industry.
Now more than 40 per cent of the company's core business is laser cutting of sheet materials including stainless steel, plastic and wood, for a wealth of industries from agricultural to the retail trade.
"When I joined the company, this was a new area of technology. I was with British Leyland, then one of only two centres, both in the motor industry, using it. When I came here we were the first company in the north west to use it," said Peter.
Since then this area of the business has grown substantially, with customers from Cornwall to Aberdeen, and last year the firm, splashed out £400,000 on a new five kilowatt laser.
Coleherne also works in partnership with Philadelphia-based bearings manufacturer Kingsbury Inc. Coleherne represents the US company in the UK and across Europe, manufacturing the award- winning KingCole bearing for power giants including Seimens and Alstom, and providing technical support.
"The company was originally incorporated in 1905, and has recently received certification from Companies House that it has been registered for 100 years, which is the equivalent of a telegram from the Queen!" says Mr Fahey.
"This year's turnover of £2.5m will be our highest ever, and we are continuing to grow. Our aim is to build on this success, particular in the laser field," he said.
A hundred years of grin and bearing it

Technical Outlook of Singapore Dollar
Singapore Dollar (also known as SGD) has increasing became popular as a trading instrument for forex traders
This article looks at the future performance of Singapore Dollar from the Technical Outlook point of view.
Known to many traders, Singapore Dollar is one of the best trending currency for the past few years – It was at a high of 1.42 in mid 2010 and went to a low of 1.20 in slightly more than a year. This represents a decline of 2200 pips. On a daily trading range, it is not as wide volatility as Forex Majors (such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCHF) because the Singapore dollar is allowed to float (within an undisclosed bandwidth of a central parity) but closely monitored by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) against a concealed basket of currencies of Singapore's major trading partners and competitors. However, Singapore government manages it actively by strengthening Singapore Dollar against US Dollar to manage inflation. This also result Singapore Dollar to rise against US Dollar at a slow but steady rate.
On the technical outlook, we are able to use Tflow® – a methodology based on Applied Elliott Wave and Advance Fibonacci to predict future prices.
We work on the assumption that downtrend of Singapore Dollar will continue as MAS actively manages it.
Technical Outlook of Singapore Dollar
Singapore Dollar is currently supported at 1.25 region. This support is holding up for the past 10 months.
A breakdown of this support will lead Singapore Dollar versus US Dollar to next level of support around 1.18-1.19. However, from Elliott Wave analysis, the stronger support lies in 1.13-1.14.
Implications of strengthen Singapore Dollar to Spending Power
On the assumption that Singapore Dollar continues to strengthen, Singaporean will have stronger spending power, likewise, our imports are going to be cheaper. However over long run, we will lose our competitiveness as our exports of services and high end goods become more expensive.

Visitors will feel they have been transported to the Adirondacks. Under the forest canopy of the Ravine, the City's skyline is nowhere to be seen and the continual din of traffic recedes against the rushing sound of a hidden waterfall and the chatter of birds.
The Ravine, the only stream valley in the Park, is part of the 90-acre woodland in the Upper Park called the North Woods. It is bounded to the north and south by two rustic arches - Huddlestone and Glen Span. The Loch, a stream that flows beside the pathway under both bridges, is dammed in several places to create the cascades you hear as you stroll through the Ravine.
Huddlestone Arch is constructed of huge Manhattan schist boulders that are held together by gravity alone. There is no metal reinforcement; there are no concrete supports.
The northwest slope of the Ravine is a true deciduous forest of oak, hickory, maple, and ash. The forest floor is covered with leaf litter, deadwood, and herbaceous plants, such as white wood aster, Allegheny spurge, and woodland goldenrod. From the trail, visitors have a bird's-eye view of the central part of the Loch. Designed by Olmsted and Vaux as a long narrow lake (loch is the Scottish word for lake), it has over the past century reverted to its pre-Park form as a stream. The thickets growing on the islands of accumulated silt attract a wide variety of birds, including the rarely seen glossy ibis.
Another birding locale is the tall grass and wildflower meadow on the Ravine's southeastern slope. The meadow is at its most glorious in the late summer and fall. Cone flower, cup plant, and bee balm mixed in with a variety of goldenrods, asters, and native grasses set the hillside ablaze with color.

Such is the Game of Authenticity (2009) is a 35 minute musical performance taking place within an 8-channel video installation in the main hall at MoMA PS1. The stage is designated by two identical videos projected side by side as a digital backdrop for the vocal performance; in these videos the camera surveys a large industrial interior punctuated by paper stage-sets that explore "expressionism" as a performative idiom. Six related videos featuring a sculptural stage-set from the 'Studies in Authenticity (Crystal Series)' are also projected throughout the gallery, refracting the visual dramaturgy of the performance in a 360 degree span. Musical score from the performance will be released as a set of Art Songs called Tender Mortal Means, EP (Static Recital, 2010).
This was first performed as an 8-channel video Installation and vocal performance on November 18, 2009, 'Saturday Sessions', MoMA PS1, Queens, New York. Filmed by Colin Whitaker.

Approved Projects
FMEC CPD is a three year planning project will define the structures, policies, and mechanisms that will enable the future national CPD system, that is, a pan-Canadian CPD system that will sustain innovation and ongoing quality improvement for the health of Canadians. One of the key strategies to address FMEC CPD's intended outcomes is to intentionally integrate the work of all stakeholder organizations in contributing to the outcomes or conclusions for selected priorities.
STRATEGY: "Use a collaborative process to define the structures, policies, and mechanisms that will enable the future CPD system ."
The FMEC CPD project is using a "collaborative results based approach" to rigorously evaluate the results of multiple, individual projects focused on current priorities and strategic issues led by CPD organizations across Canada. This evaluation will inform the decision making and recommendations of the FMEC CPD Steering Committee to enable greater clarity around questions of importance for the CPD system-to-be including:
- Who should be involved?
- What structures / policies / mechanisms should be in place?
- What activities could usefully be influenced / directed / governed?
- How can we sustain innovation and promote continuous improvement for an entire system?
Framework for Project Review and Endorsement
Based on the 2014 National Invitational Summit, 8 priority themes were selected to guide review and endorsement of projects. Specifically, the Steering Committee were interested in projects which could:
- Amplify and operationalize the FMRAC Physician Practice Improvement principles and roles.
- Demonstrate CPD as a contributor to addressing issues of importance to the health of Canadians.
- Amplify the meaning and implications of scope of practice for physicians.
- Contribute to understanding and rationalizing funding for the creation and dissemination of CPD activities.
- Address CPD as an important part of the lifelong learning continuum for physicians.
- Advance competency-based CPD tools, assessment strategies and data.
- Address the required knowledge and skills needed by those participating in development and delivery of CPD (e.g. coaching skills, upskilling planning committees).
- Address interprofessional teams as an important audience for CPD.
Summary of Endorsed Projects
At the initial deadline, 40 projects were submitted for consideration from across the stakeholder community including Regulatory Authorities, University CPD Offices, Specialty Societies, Provincial Chapters and Educational Colleges. Based on a comprehensive review 29 projects have been endorsed in the first selection round.

When you tell people that you've bought a second hand bookstore with someone you wrote a book with, many of them will then ask, "so, do you sell your book, then."
And until now, the answer to that question has been, "Well, no." And for those who like elaboration, "because we sell second-hand books, not new ones."
But after the umpteenth person has asked, you find yourself thinking, "well, actually there's no reason why we couldn't."
So I asked our publisher, Tom Rennie at Bridget Williams Books, he sent us a box and Bob's your uncle.
So you know what to look for, this is the cover:
