Recreation Therapy is often under rated and overlooked in Nursing care in spite of the quality of life it can impart.
The old stereotype of nursing homes as cold warehouses and quiet "sanctuaries" where the elderly go to wait for pills, the next meal, and the end of life, is thankfully changing. In its place resides a "kinder, gentler" facility known best now as a "Long Term Care Facility". People are being offered various options, such as independent living on the grounds of a large campus which includes medical services and nursing care if and when needed, rehabilitation services from trained physical therapists and occupational therapies to enhance independence, and a greater variety of customer service driven options.
One of the newer bonuses of Long Term Care living is the Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, also known as "recreation therapist" or "Activities professional". He or she is responsible for providing a wide spectrum of leisure activities, almost like the cruise director of an ocean liner. Whenever anyone who has encountered a nursing facility employing such recreation programming thinks of these services, surely one word comes to mind: BINGO. This is, admittedly, a very popular activity with many persons, but is by far the least of what a therapeutic recreation professional (Hereafter referred to as "T.R."), deals with.
Take the hypothetical case of Mrs. Smith. All of her life she has volunteered for her church by crocheting afghans for the annual Christmas bazaar. It is early October, the time she would usually have begun to crochet. She has had a stroke, can no longer hold a needle, and is increasingly depressed over her loss of ability to do an activity that used to give her life meaning. A T.R. professional might give her a skein of yarn to ball, look over afghan patterns together and compare the features of each, or sort the granny squares crocheted by other residents into color schemes for later piecing together. This could be a one to one activity between T.R. and the resident, or be an impetus for forming a yarn balling social in the lounge where many residents reminisce about how they used to make hats and scarves for their children, etc. Mr. Jones is another such case. All of his life, he went to the racetrack every Friday and bet on the horses. He has done it so long that he now knows the horses personally, which of his past favorites sired including which horse. He may no longer be able to get out regularly to place these bets, but he regains a great sense of identity and dignity by being handed a racing sheet and spending time with a T.R. person who takes the time to ask "Just how does one make a bet", or "If I put a $2.00 bet down on this horse and she wins, how much will I win".
In the case of programming for specialty units, such as structured care for those suffering from strokes, Alzheimer's Disease, or other such dementia, the expertise of T.R. becomes even more key. By finding active exercises for the residents which target specific areas of interest or occupation, we have found that people may actually be able to slow the losses of mental functioning by re-associating old skills with parts of the brain not yet affected by the disease process. Take the case of "Mrs. Brown", who suffers with speech difficulties. Since singing and speaking can come from different parts of the brain, she may still remember all of the old songs she used to sing and be perfectly able to communicate her emotions with these in ways that her faltering speech cannot. T.R. can come in and lead a group sing a long, and if it seems that Mrs. Brown has specific favorite songs, those can be used to communicate emotions. If she is in a good mood, she may be encouraged to sing a happy song. If she is missing someone, she may be able to communicate this through the singing of an old Blues tune. T.R. may even encourage Mrs. Brown to sing her sentences instead of speaking them, encouraging her to write her own songs to speak.
Weekly trivia contests with token prizes are another seemingly "trivial" way in which T.R. can keep self esteem alive and engender self confidence. Questions about the past, such as events from the residents' lives or customs no longer popular can bring back a flood of memories, and winners can walk away feeling like they really DO still have things in which they can succeed.
In our lives, our leisure activities are just as much a part of our identity as any other pursuit, such as occupation or family affiliation. Therapeutic Recreation can enhance the lives of the aging by enabling persons to keep as active as possible and encourage them to continue to use whatever they still retain rather than focusing on losses. It is truly an under-rated part of the Long Term Care Facility's offerings.

Newcastle fans took to Twitter following our great 1-0 win at Leicester City last night breaking their four-game winning streak under new manager Brendan Rodgers.
It was another masterclass from Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez who was interviewed on the touchline after the game by Sky Sports' pundit and Rafa's former player Jamie Carragher – and others.
Rafa was in his element during the interview and it's no wonder he and Newcastle are in demand on TV.
Rafa can talk about football for hours and hours much like Sir Bobby Robson and we hear an experienced manager who knows what he's talking about and knows what it takes to win in football.
He's very much like Sir Bobby.
Here are some tweets from Newcastle fans and some videos of the Newcastle fans last night at the away end of the King Power Stadium.
We still have Southampton, Brighton and Fulham to play surely we are safe now? #NUFC

Turmeric, a yellow root of the ginger family, is cultivated in China, Indonesia, Costa Rica. The Hawaiian traditional medicine is completely based on this spice, which is there called \u201cholena\u201d. In India, the major producer of turmeric worldwide, it is used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its preventive and therapeutic properties and mainly to heal inflammation and wounds.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
PubMed Health of the National Library of\u00a0Medicine features hundreds of scientific publications on turmeric. Here it is described as a powerful natural antioxidant that slows the progression of HIV, prevents red blood cells from coagulating, impedes the development of candida and other fungal infections, protects from sunrays, inhibits cataract formation, encourages joint motility, relieves arthritis pain, serves as a remedy against psoriasis, detoxifies the blood, protects the liver, delay brain ageing and Alzheimer\u2019s disease and treats tumours. According to one of the articles, it is the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
In 1996, two Indian researchers at an American university, after producing a drug whose active ingredient was exactly this yellow spice, requested and obtained a patent for it: a meaningful example of biopiracy. The legal action taken by the Indian Council for Scientific Research, however, brought the US Patent Office to admit that the medicinal properties of turmeric are an Indian discovery and therefore not patentable and to declare the revocation of the patent. A victory that prevented the pharmaceutical industry to be interested in turmeric and that explains why the extraordinary properties of this root, widely demonstrated by modern science, are not yet worldwide exploited.<\/p>\n

Ford Hires Cadillac Designer Max Wolff To Revamp Lincoln
Lincoln has tried for many years to catch up with longtime rival Cadillac, but its vehicles remain dowdy compared with slick, modern Caddy models like the CTS sport sedan. So Ford's luxury division got more aggressive and hired Max Wolff, the guy who has been designing those Cadillacs.
Ford Motor Co. today named Wolff to the new post of design director of Lincoln, effective Jan. 3. Wolff, a 38-year-old Australian, made a name for himself at General Motors' Holden division in Australia before coming to the U.S., where he worked on the Cadillac CTS sport sedan and the more adventurous CTS sport wagon.

What are we doing for New Year's Eve?
It's November. Halloween is over, Christmas is descending upon us and with it, December 31st looms. Everyone awaits the dreaded anticipated annual question of 'So…what are we doing for New Year's Eve?'
Personally, I've never been a fan of New Year's Eve. I love New Year's Day. The renewed hope and the fresh optimism that it brings. The chance to embrace new opportunities and the idea that THIS could be THE year that everything just falls into place. New Year's Eve however always seems tainted by sadness for me. And it doesn't matter if I've had an amazing year or a devastating one. As much as I love new beginnings, I'm not a fan of endings. To me, New Year's Eve always represents the closing of a door. Leaving a year behind that has more than likely been filled with the many ups and downs that life inevitably brings. And it's those events from that year – both good and bad – that shape you. So saying goodbye to them isn't necessarily easy for me.
Change your perspective.
I've learned a lot in the past couple of years about myself. I like to think I'm a kind person and do what I can for anyone I want. But my partner, and many others, often tell me I can do too much without thinking of my own happiness. So this year I decided to make a change. And what better way to start than on New Year's Eve? A night that I typically dread. I either end up going to bed early or I spend the whole time obsessing about what's been lost in this year and the uncertainty of what's to come in the next.
The last couple of years, New Year's Eve has been written off due to the passing of my mum. In all honesty, it's difficult to want to celebrate anything still. However, mum always loved a good party and was never one to wallow in anything. This year I have met some amazing new people who have been a wonderful support to me and Vintage Twee and I decided what better way than to celebrate it with them!
Do what makes you happy.
This is something that most of us think we know but actually never admit it. What does make you happy? For me, I love being with the people I feel most comfortable. I love my food and I love dancing to music that most people won't admit to. I'm not cool and my wardrobe isn't designer. I'm no good in large crowds or noisy and pretentious places. I enjoy gardening and cooking for my man. I sometimes think I'm an old soul, born in the wrong era. I like to think at 35 years old though, I'm confident enough to say what I like and who I like to enjoy it with. So why treat New Year's Eve any different?
Spend it with who you want to spend it with.
And don't overthink this one. At the end of the day, New Year's Eve is just another night. If you decide to celebrate it, then do it with the people you want to. Those that make you smile, that you can laugh freely with and be yourself. No judgment. If you wouldn't spend time with them generally, then why should New Year's Eve be any different??
I decided to host a 1940's themed New Year's Eve party with one of my new friends and colleagues – Yuri – who owns Telve Café and Bistro in my home town of Hazel Grove, Stockport. Our family and friends will be there, as well as Yuri's customers and anyone of like mind who wants a good old fashioned knees up. It's open to families so children can be included. So many New Year's Eve parties aren't family friendly and exclude children from joining in. We want families to be together on New Year's Eve so they can create those memories together and have something to remember. It will be a relaxed, fun evening where people can dress up if they want to and just enjoy being with the people they love.
Think of yourself as well as others.
It may be that you don't want to do anything on New Year's Eve. Then so be it! Grab a take away, watch a film and go to bed at 11pm before the fireworks. Wake up the next day to a new year. I've learnt that people can sometimes forget that this is not always an easy time of year for everyone. You just have to think what makes you happy and comfortable and do it. You are more important than you think.
And remember, it's just another day.
Because it really is. Nothing changes. Ok, you have to get a new calendar. And remember to write the correct year from now on. But the sun still rises and sets, people are still in your life or absent and you are no different to who you were yesterday. I think the ultimate trick is not to think too far ahead. Don't try and predict what the New Year will bring. My sister sent me an inspirational poem just the other day called The Dash by Linda Ellis. Have a read of it here, it's all about how you spend that little dash between the date you were born and the date we die. Whatever you do for this New Year's Eve and the next…and the next…make it count in a way that makes you happy.
And for anyone that's interested, details of our New Year's Eve event can be found here!

Finally arrived in Singapore! This will be my home for the coming 4 months as I study here to work on my masters.
* Fastest immigration checkpoint ever. The officer even said thank you in Swedish. Never happened before.
* Changi airport, which has been voted worlds best airport multiple times even had a luxury Hello Kitty bakery & cafe!
* Classy smooth relaxing jazz background music in the airport and lots of plants, waterfalls and almost parks. Like it!
Felt so good to check into a hotel when I arrived. It was too late to go to the university to pick up the keys to my dorm room, so an airport hotel was the best option. The 8 hour flight from Doha to Singapore took an unpleasant turn when a family with the olympic gold medal in bad parenting was assigned to the seats next to mine. They gladly put their kids on auto-scream for the entire trip (and did noting about it) – to the dismay of several other passengers. Fortunately I was allowed to move to a seat farther away, but even earplugs + headphones couldn't save my ears completely.
The first thing I noticed about Singapore was the temperature and weather. I arrived in the first half of January and this time of the year normally has a lot of rain. It's not the kind of rain I'm used to though. In Sweden, if it rains, you get WET. There is no escaping it. The Singaporean rain is more like a fine mist – you see that it's raining, the puddles are showing rings from rain drops, but you kind of don't feel the rain drops on your skin or get wet. Maybe it's because the air is more humid here and it makes your skin slightly wet all the time. Dunno. During February and forward, I'm told that the weather will become increasingly warm and sunny. Looking forward to that! I didn't change -25 and snow for some humid misty rain..
I woke up at 05.00 am and was determined to get to the university by using the allegedly very good public transportation system. It turned out to be very easy, although it did require about an hour on the MRT, as NTU is on the opposite side of country when coming from the airport.
Singapore has indeed a very good public transportation system. The MRT takes you to almost every part of the city and there are several lines. It's frequent, very cheap, and easy to understand how to use. The green line took me almost all way there. I did have to take a bus the last 5 minutes to actually get into the campus area, but I ran into some trouble. A lot of other students and staff were also waiting for the bus and it was a huge queue. With my two heavy bags, misty rain in in the air and time ticking until my first briefing, I figured it would be better to grab a quick cab so I went to the taxi area outside the MRT station. I was quickly approached by a pair of friendly Asian students who saw that I was new to the country. They offered to give me a ride in their car, even though they themselves were late! That's really kind. Thanks to them I got to my briefing on time.
My dorm room lies on the 5th floor of one of the Pioneer hall buildings. The complex has an auditorium, food court, recreational rooms, study rooms, basketball courts, vending machines and lots of other exciting stuff. The complex is built around a river and has lots of green plants, trees, bridges and cozy hexagon shaped seating areas with roof. It even has a small gym that's open 07:00-24:00! That's definitely something I'll check out. If I can get by for 4 months with the basic necessities without having to purchase a gym membership here, it's a big plus and I'll be able to travel more on my spare time.
This is what my room looks like:
It's smaller than I expected but has the necessities and it's clean. I have the option of paying for air conditioning, but the ceiling fan has done a good job so far. Maybe when it get's warmer, I'll use the AC.
The drawbacks to my room are a few.
- It's located right next to a bigger trafficked road and the sound of traffic 24/7 is loud.
- Shared shower and WC with the other people in my corridor
- No access to kitchen. My meal planning went up in smoke 😦
I brought food containers to store home cooked meals, as I was planning on staying in good shape and saving some $ by making my own meals. I was told Singapore was expensive when it comes to living costs. But now it looks like I'll be eating out for all of my meals. That obviously makes dieting so much harder since you don't really know how many calories you are taking in per day. I'm a bit bummed over not having the access of a kitchen, but on the other hand, I'm also very excited to be "forced" to eat out and try so many restaurants and foods! After all, NTU campus has about TWENTY different food courts. Crazy! Or, Siao, as it's called in Singlish.
There is a work around for the meal planning though, and that entails eating at chain restaurants, like subway. Most chain restaurants have all their meals nutritionally calculated in some PDF that you can download from their website. It's less fun than trying local alternatives but if I wanted to be really anal about my food intake, that's how I could do it. I checked out subways nutritional charts and by choosing any 12 foot sandwich sub, the caloric total would still be less than 1000 kcal. That means that I could have a 12 footer for both lunch and dinner and still be on a large deficit ant loose body fat. Subway also has a venue at the NTU campus so that's a possible go-to place for days where I just want to get lunch done easily and continue studying.
After quickly dropping my bags of in the room, I headed to one of many bus stops of the campus, where shuttle buses take students around to the different parts of NTU. The campus has a system of buses going clockwise and anti-clockwise to take students for free around the huge campus area.
I made it just in time for 11:00 briefing for exchange students at one of the faculties where I plan to take a few courses. We were given a guided tour, and served a free delicious lunch buffet with a mix of Asian dishes. After that, we headed to the North Spine plaza to attend the big official briefing for all 900+ exchange students. NTU gave us lots information about various aspects of the country and school. A few fun facts were presented:
- Certain crimes are punishable by CANE!
- Narcotics crimes are punishable by DEATH!
- It's illegal to engage in any "nuclear activities"…
Damn, I was hoping to split a few atoms in my dorm. NTU had guest speakers from insurance companies, police force, hospitals, etc. They made sure we were taken care of and have a good basic understanding of the culture and country. I found it interesting to learn that the Singapore police have a very vigilant anti-terror system going. Citizens are trained to learn CPR and first aid and there is an app called SG Secure that you can download to report suspicious stuff and receive government info in case of emergencies. They showed us a short film about uncovering a plot that 4 Indonesian terrorists had to blow up Marina bay sands with rocket launcher.
One thing I found about Singapore is that they like to come up with short "slogans" for stuff so that it's easy to remember, for example STARS, GEM, OGEM, etc. The info material from NTU is full of these shorthand block letters for various aspects of school programs and government stuff. This is very USA-inspired, from my experience.
My first experience of the Singaporean people was very good. Everybody is polite, well mannered and very helpful. The country is clean and I still haven't seen any graffiti at all what so ever.
Well, there you have it. My first impressions!

Indiana has been in the news lately, and most of what we're hearing isn't good. First, the long-running comedy show Parks and Recreation came to
an end, cutting off a rich supply of charming images of small town Indiana life. Then on March 26, Governor Mike Pence signed a bill that I'm fairly
certain Leslie Knope would not have supported: the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" (RFRA). Although the Governor claims the bill "is not about discrimination," it is widely interpreted as being very much about discrimination. In June
2014, the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby found that the 1993 federal version of the RFRA allowed "closely held" companies such as Hobby Lobby to deny contraceptive benefits mandated
under the Affordable Care Act. Suddenly it was easy to see how RFRA could be used to deny services to gays or anyone else whose demographics were
unsupported by the religious views of a business owner.
The media storm about the RFRA almost completely obscured another action taken by Governor Pence on the same day. The governor declared a public health
emergency in Scott County, where seventy-nine new cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been identified since mid-December in a
location that usually has a total of five cases per year. A team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was called in to Scott County, and the
state initiated several efforts aimed at combating the outbreak.
Among the responses authorized in the governor's emergency declaration was a needle exchange program—for thirty-days only and only in Scott County. The sad
irony is that had Indiana implemented needle exchange programs before now, the current outbreak might not have happened.
The science is clear. Needle exchange programs, or what are more properly called Syringe Services Programs (SSP), work. The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, puts it this way:
Recent studies have affirmed SSP's efficacy in encouraging and facilitating entry into treatment for intravenous drug users (IDUs) and thereby reducing
illicit drug use. Numerous studies have also documented SSP's effectiveness in reducing the risk of HIV infection among IDUs and their partners.[1]
In 2011, the U.S. Surgeon General, Regina Benjamin, entered the following statement into the Federal Record.
[SSPs] would be effective in reducing drug abuse and the risk of infection with the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. This
determination reflects the scientific evidence supporting the important public health benefit of SSPs.
Two decades of research
on SSPs shows that giving heroin and other intravenous drug users clean needles has two really important effects:
1. It decreases the rate of HIV infection in users and their partners; and
2. It actually decreases rates of addiction by exposing users to people who can help get them into treatment.
Yet in a striking rejection of science and the public interest, federal law prohibits the use of federal funds for SSPs, and many states have drug
paraphernalia laws that make it impossible to introduce SSPs. As Anna Maria Barry-Jester points out in a piece at FiveThirtyEight.com, most of the prohibiting states are
red. States that allow syringe programs are more likely to be blue. Indiana is a mostly red state with laws that currently make SSPs impossible—except, as
it turns out, in emergencies. In a statement that flies in the face of evidence,
Governor Pence said on March 26, "I don't believe that effective anti-drug policy involves handing out paraphernalia to drug users…." In fact, an effective anti-drug policy would do just
Thankfully, a wiser politician, Republican state legislator Ed Clere, disagrees with the Governor and has introduced a bill that would make SSPs legal
throughout Indiana. In another sad bit of irony, Clere introduced the bill last year and it failed.
This appears to be one more instance of a political or moral ideology trumping the available evidence to the detriment of public health.[2] Opponents of SSPs are reluctant to give heroin and prescription drug users the
tools of their addictions, something that probably seems immoral to them. Supporting
SSPs might make a politician vulnerable to claims of condoning drug use and being "soft on crime," both of which would be particularly damaging in red
states. But when an HIV outbreak becomes a public health emergency, even Republicans come looking for evidence-based solutions.
The Real Drug Emergency
By temporarily allowing needle exchanges in Scott County, Governor Pence has made a tiny step in the right direction, but the inadequacy of the response
becomes obvious when you step back and take a look at the wider effects of intravenous drug use in the United States. Consider the following graph from the
National Institute on Drug Abuse.[3]
Figure 1. National Overdose Deaths—Number of Deaths from Heroin. The figure above is a bar chart showing the total number of U.S. overdose deaths involving
heroin from 2001 to 2013. The chart is overlaid by a line graph showing the number of deaths by females and males. From 2001 to 2013, there was a five-fold
increase in the total number of deaths.
Infection with HIV is a horrible personal tragedy, but it is not the death sentence it once was. In contrast, death from overdose is the end of a
life—often a young adult life. Furthermore, overdoses from heroin are only the tip of the iceberg. The wide availability of modern prescription opioids has
made overdoses of commercially manufactured pain medications much more common than heroin overdose, as Figure 2 shows.
Figure 2. Number of Deaths from Prescription Drugs. The figure above is a bar chart showing the total number of U.S. overdose deaths involving opioid
prescription drugs from 2001 to 2013. The chart is overlaid by a line graph showing the number of deaths by females and males. From 2001 to 2013, there was
a 2.5-fold increase in the total number of deaths.
Prescription drug addiction is an enormous problem in the United States. The
HIV outbreak in Scott County, Indiana, stemmed from intravenous use—not of heroin—but of Opana (14-Hydroxydihydromorphinone), a powerful prescription pain medication made by Endo
Pharmaceuticals. Indeed much of the current demand for heroin appears to be coming from users who first become addicted to prescription medications and
then move to heroin when the price or availability of the street drug is more favorable.[4] This is a classic case of economic choice with
substitutable commodities.
Scott County is an economically depressed rural area in southern Indiana, and it has had a serious drug problem for several years. A 2012 National Public Radio story on the high rate of prescription
opioid use in Scott County reported that there had been thirty-one overdose deaths in the previous year, a substantial increase. There have been vigils for
victims of overdose, and County Sheriff Dan McClain recently worried that an entire
generation might be lost to drug addiction. But despite this festering problem, drug use in Scott County only became a public health crisis when it turned
into an HIV outbreak. Between one and three dozen overdoses per year in a county of only 25,000 residents was not an emergency. Why?
Moral and Immoral Health Problems
It seems to me the answer can be found in our differing reactions to drug overdoses and HIV. Drug addiction bears a heavy weight of moral stigma, perhaps
even greater than the stigma associated with HIV infection. Despite the many social and economic forces that play a role in the current plague of
addiction, drug use is considered a choice—a bad life decision with predictable outcomes. In contrast, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is an
infectious disease. HIV/AIDS can spread by the use of contaminated syringes, but it can also spread by engaging in other, perfectly legal activities. The
possibility of HIV being passed on to morally innocent people appears to have finally captured the attention of state government.
Scott County, Indiana, is a harbinger of problems faced in many other places, and if moral and political philosophies continue to stand in the way of
evidence-based procedures, then the rising tide of death and infection will continue. Let us hope that Governor Pence's actions will lead to a more general
recognition that people struggling with addiction are worthy of our concern and that needle exchanges and other effective programs should be promoted in an
effort to help them.
Politics played an additional role in the Indiana HIV outbreak. The Huffington Post reported that the only HIV
testing service in Scott County closed in 2013. It was a Planned Parenthood that did not provide abortion services but did offer HIV testing. In
2011, the Republican-led Indiana state legislature defunded Planned Parenthood because some of its branches offered abortion services. Since then,
five Planned Parenthood clinics in the state, all of which provided HIV testing, have closed, including the one in Scott County.

Miles Dredd Spike Mode is one of Miles Dread's modes. Basically, this mode is almost the same when compared to Miles Dread's Main Mode, but it is slightly different, mainly because of the spikes protuding on the arms and head, as well the whip that Dread carries. Until now, the mode didn't appeared in any episodes of the series, but only on toy form.
Since the mode still didn't appeared on the series, there are no origins for it.
Toy form
- Main article: Spike Whip Dread.
The Spike Whip Dread action figure was released on 2015 as a part of Transform-Tek line, as one of the few villains that are Extreme Figures. Dread's transformation process includes revealing the spikes on his right arm and head, as well the parts of the whip that can be extended to reveal it.
- This mode is the counterpart of Turbo Spike Mode, one of most powerful Turbo Modes of Max Steel's arsenal.
- Curiously, the whip that Miles Dread uses in this mode is a separated part of the armor, unlike Max Steel's Turbo Spike Mode, where the whip is a part of it.

Update on the DC breaker switch project
February 04, 2019
February 2019: KWx introduces the air-cooled semiconductor based switch. This smaller switch, handling a nominal current of 200 A, is specifically designed for applications where liquid cooling is not available. The configurable I2t feature is specifically designed for test and research facilities.
Important features of this 1kV DC breaker switch:
- The extreme fast short-circuit interruption of less than 10 µs, limits the impact of fault currents to a minimum.
- The configurable time-current profile (i2t) for overload protection makes our liquid cooled DC breaker switch extremely suitable for application in test- and demonstration equipment setups.
- Modular design.
September 2018: We are excited to see that we are now approaching the final release of the range of DC breaker switches. The emission, immunity, dry cold (5°), dry heat (70°) and damp tests are finished successfully.
During the vibration tests it became clear that additional damping is required to reduce lateral force. At this moment 24/7 high power cycling tests are running to put maximum stress on all components. We expect that due to and after these extreme tests the final power tests for certification will just be a formality.
Looking at the results we can safely say that we are confident that the certification by DNV GL and Lloyds reg. will be successful. We will keep you informed!
|Ident number
|DC breaker switch
|0.5kA – 1kV
|500A Small
|DC breaker switch
|1.25kA – 1kV
|1250A Medium
|DC breaker switch
|2.5kA – 1kV
|2500A Large
|DC breaker switch
|3.75kA – 1kV
|3750A Large
|DC breaker switch
|5kA – 1kV
|5000A Large
Februari 2018: With many of you we discussed the introduction of a range of 1kV DC breaker switches for application in DC bus systems, mainly in maritime systems.
Together with our partner Astrol we are preparing the market introduction of three mechanical sizes: a 500A switch in a small housing, a 1250A switch in a medium housing and 2500 – 5000A switches in large housings.
The actual expectation is that we will release the small and medium size switches soon, followed by the large size later this year.

I was asked to make a dainty tray for church and so I am thinking "What to do?" First I thought Whoopie Pies because that was on my mind for a while. But I also wanted to make a mix of things, not just one. Besides, I had some things left over.
I always wanted to make some Truffles but never got around to do it. Several pages like Sumptuous Spoonfuls have some lovely ideas on how to go about it. So here I am, making Truffles.
A while ago I received the "Petite Treats – Mini Versions of Your Favorite Baked Delights" by Christy Beaver and Morgan Greenseth. I had little time when I received it to make anything out of that lovely little book, but last Saturday it was the perfect rescue.
Baumkuchen is a German specialty, which is especially popular during Christmas time. Let me quickly dissect the name for you so you know what it all means.
This is the last of the Christmas Cake pops I made this year. The little teddy bear, a classic for Christmas.
After showing you have to make Christmas Tree and Present Cake pops, lets keep going and see what else we can do for Christmas themed cake pops.
This is going to be a little series, since I made various cake pops for an order. All were Christmas themed and we started with the Christmas tree three days ago. Now we need to put something under it.

Italy: 15 year-old harassed for wearing a kippah
Via CFCA:
A 15 year-old boy was attacked in Milan by a group of teenagers his age, because he was wearing a kippah.
Police say this was a case of bullying and not a hate crime.
The teenager, a visitor from Rome, was hanging out with friends in the park when the group approached him and started making fun of him. After he left the park, one of the bullies, approached and slapped him.

Sports Betting – the Best Customer Support
Customer service or customer support is a very important business element across all types of industries. The betting and gambling industry is no different. Furthermore, this industry can actually gain greatly with the increased trust from customers.
This is why we wanted to check how good is the customer support actually. Every brand boasts how they can be easily reached, but we have decided to put that to the test. Continue reading to learn more which platform has the best Customer Support.
Betting and Casino Best Customer Service
All of the three brands we are going to talk about today offer outstanding service to their clients. Whether we are talking about Unibet, Paddy Power, or Betfair, players can expect a wide range of choices.
However, even the top has levels of quality. Let's start off by examining what we are actually going to evaluate when we are looking at these brands.
What Did We Look For to Measure Performance?
When it comes to customer support, it is quite easy to measure who is performing best. In this examination, we have decided to take a look at different ways of reaching out to customer support, and how each brand managed to make use of them.
Let's take a look at phone, email, live chat, and social media communication. Each of the brands managed better at one of these communication mediums. Luckily, we have managed to find the absolute winner. Let's take a look at phone communication.
Phone Results – Betting Customer Support
Not all of these brands have a phone customer support. Unibet is missing it, while both the Paddy Power and Betfair have their phone customer support available.
While you are going to get a faster answer on the ring at Betfair, you will get faster to the issue and have it solved with Paddy Power. To put it simply, useful information start coming to you whole minute or two before it would while on a call with Paddy Power.
However, with both of these brands, you can easily reach out to customer service and have your problem resolved within minutes. The victor here is Paddy Power.
Email Results – Casino Customer Service
Email is still one of the preferred methods of communication for many people. Especially in the business environment. This is why all three of these brands have decided to use it as a means of customer support communication. However, the problem is that two of these brands have probably forgotten that they still use email as a customer support tool.
This is probably why it took for Paddy Power and Betfair a whole 400 hours to respond to our email. However, it only took one hour for the Unibet to respond to our email, which is a normal period of time, as the brand most likely receives email customer support messages frequently.
Therefore, if for any reason you require assistance from Paddy Power or Betfair, it is a much better solution to reach out to their customer service via live chat, social media or a phone. Let's take a look further and see how other methods have passed.
Live Chat Results – Customer Service
Live chat is one of the latest additions to the arsenal of tools in customer service. Many have been praising it for years now. The time has finally come to put it to the test. Our findings have discovered that Unibet, Paddy Power, and Betfair all rely on live chat as a communication means with their customers.
Of all the give brands, the most responsive brand was Unibet with 10 seconds, while Paddy Power and Betfair scored 60 and 30 seconds respectively. Now, first response and satisfactory answer are two different things. And to reach this stage of conversation, Unibet needed 40, Paddy Power 60, and Betfair 180 seconds. Given that all of the operators were human (no chatbots were used), these values are likely to oscillate over time, but the clear winner here is Unibet definitely.
Social Media results
All these brands are active on social media, and we have decided to measure responsiveness on Twitter. It is, after all, a network where you are expected to be active at all times.
While we got no response from Unibet Twitter, we managed to get a response from Paddy Power after only 2 Minutes, while Betfair followed with a follow-up after only 12 minutes.
As you can see, no matter what communication method you decide to use in the end, you are going to reach out to a customer support representative from the warmth of your home.
Final Verdict – The Best Customer Support
The best customer support reward goes to Paddy Power. Even though it does have the same number of communication channels open as Paddy Power, Betfair was much slower with live chat and finding a useful answer on the phone.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that Unibet customer service was quite responsive, this brand simply lacks one type of communication in comparison to other brands.
The good thing is that you can reach out to any of these three brands via one of the communication channels. If you seek any assistance, it is best to use live chat. This method proved to be the most reliable one, as you will get some sort of reply within 5 minutes of your query.
We wish you a lot of fun with your betting adventures. We hope that this is useful information for you, it is good to know how good each brand is with providing high quality customer support.
To learn more about these brands, feel free to head over the Unibet review, Betfair review or Paddy Power review. Now that you know who offers the best customer support, you can more easily find the most suitable brand for your betting adventures.

We're back and we're hanging out
with Dr. Sandra Lee, a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper. And just to reiterate, these pimples are fake, put on by our amazing
makeup crew here. They're amazing.
They look very realistic. Have you ever seen anything
in the field quite this bad? I have seen things this bad, but I've never seen anyone
eat them or anything, so that would be a whole
different kind of thing. You've never been tempted
to take whatever landed
on your finger and put it in your mouth?
Good for you. So if you haven't seen that, click on the video
with the green border. – That was a few segments ago.
– It was quite amazing effects. How does this work? I mean,
for people who haven't seen it. What are the videos and then
what are we going to do with
this game? Well, what you're going to do is you're going to watch
some of my favorite– or the very most popular videos
that I have, – and you're going to guess.
– Of your own work. Yes, these are my patients.
These are my own surgeries. These are procedures
that I've done on my own. And we film them. I guess what this
all comes down to – is you can't predict–
– How it popped. Yeah, what a cyst looks like, or what a pop
is going to be like, so… – I want you to see–
– Is that part of the thrill? That's part of the thrill.
I think that's what part of
what people like about it. So we're going to give
you guys a chance to see what kind of pop
this is going to be. – Okay.
– Okay, what's up first? Okay, so first up, we have a simple back cyst
that you can really barely see. – Oh.
– I don't see… My finger is pointing to it That's a back. That's– There's nothing there. So does this pop A,thin and sticky, like expired
children's silly string…Rhett:Oh, come on.Or B, thick and ominous,like it's literally
the monster from "Dune"?– I think this has gotta be A.
– Really? 'Cause we're talking about
something that's deep down, and there's like a little pool
where we can't even see it
and it's going to come at me– How could it be
thick and ominous? It's gonna come out
like a little snake. You don't watch my videos,
do you? So– Oh, well,
then I'm going with B, thick and ominous. You sure?
I think she's just
throwing you off. I think you're trying to throw
me off and her not throwing me
off. – I'm going with A.
– B. Okay, and the answer is
in the video. Rhett: Oh, gosh.
Link: Oh, yes! Thick and frickin' ominous! Oh, wow! No, how! – Those are your hands?
– Yes, those are my hands. They look like gloves. Yeah, this is a cyst.
This is a typical cyst. – That is just
macerated keratin.
– That's typical? That is wet skin cells. All right, let's do another one. Okay, next one. All right,
question number two. This next one is a pilar cyst. Now, pilar cysts
occur on the scalp. That's just the scalp
of a young guy. – Oh, my gosh.
– This is–
they're really common. Looks like the scalp
of an opossum. You sure that's a human? What's this pop like? Is it A, curvy and squiggly,
like an albino garden snake. ( shuddering )
Gosh. Or B, short and squat, like a lifestyle vlogger's
decorative birch tree trunk? Short and squat. Really? You think
this is short and squat? That's what I said. I mean,
you were right last time, I'm still going with A,
curvy and squiggly. I'm hoping for the best. If you're right,
I'll pop a zit on your face. – Okay.
– 'Cause they're
kinda bothering me. They need to be popped. They're all on the side,
just calling out our name. I will say that.
Okay, you ready? The answer is… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Pilar cysts are cool because
they come out usually intact. That's part
of that dude's brain. No, it's on top of the brain. No, that's part of the brain.
You just squeezed somebody's
brain out. No, but it's quite satisfying,
isn't it? It's not satisfying.
To who? It feels good
that it's gone. I mean can you imagine watching
this right before you go to
sleep? That's what my wife does. Your wife is crazy. This is her
lull-a-freakin'-bys. I don't know why we're compatible. Because she's amazing.
She's amazing. You wanna pop this one
or that one? – You wanna pop one.
– I– Yeah, but I don't wanna eat it.
that's for sure. I'll pop one.
Want me to pop one? Pop his 'cause
that's bothering me. This one right here–
yeah, I'll pop it. – And that one.
– Oh, okay. Okay, ready? Oh, yeah, there you go. That is really realistic,
though, I will tell you. I am not– I never smell cysts,
by the way. That's the first
time I've smelled a cyst. You know that
it's actually food. I know, but I wanna say it's
spaghetti, but I'm afraid. Let's do another one.
I don't know.
You tell us what it is. Oh, did you taste it? Yeah, it doesn't taste
like anything. Sriracha? I don't know. Is there another
hot sauce one? Stevie:
I think it's just tomato. – Oh, tomato.
– She tasted it. She's a good sport. I do. I know it's food. Okay, ready?
The next question. – Make more nightmares.
– Question number three. All righty here.
We're going to look at
a steatocystoma. Okay? Link:Is that a wrist?– Lee:Yeah, that is a–
– Rhett:A Seattle cystoma?This happens to people
in the Northwest?Steatocystoma. They call them Seattle Tacomas,
too. How does this cyst pop? A, smooth and twisty,
like thick Olive Garden
creamy linguini. – Oh, gosh.
– Never going there again. Or B, sudden and hard, like a shiny silver
river pebble that magically pops
out of the river, and indicated the beginning of your young adult
sci-fi novel adventure. I wanna see that. I'm hoping that
it's sudden and hard. Yeah, I think it's sudden and
hard, just like a bloop, and it just comes right out, like it's a rock
underneath the skin.
Let's see it. Let's find out. – Oh, gosh.
– Oh, smooth and twisted. Olive Garden all the way. This is very typical
for a steatocystoma. They come out like this, like
linguini, we call them. Or butter.
They come out like butter. – It's not butter.
– Looks like Vaseline. They are actually
a fan favorite. For some reason
people really love them. because I think they're
very unexpected, what you find under the skin. Do people who
really like your videos start doing things
to induce their own zits – so they can pop them?
– I hope not. No, I don't think so,
but I do think they chase their
husbands or wives around the house
and want to, you know,
take care of it. They find the zits
in their lives.They do. Question number four.
Here's the picture.This one's already leaking. –This is in the inguinal area.
– Link:Is that a butt?The inguinal,
which is like this part right
here, the V in the front. – Okay, got it.
– Below your abdomen. And this one's already leaking. I already nicked it
with a needle or something. Oh, gosh, why? But it has a distinctive
conclusion. How do you think
this pop erupts? A, thick and goopy like
an explosion of garlic
mashed potatoes. – Or–
– Oh, gosh. Why are you ruining
so many foods for me? 'Cause it's organic.
It's always like food.B, watery and explosive like
the fountains at Bellagio.Rhett:I've spent a lot of time
just staring at the fountains
at the Bellagio.– They're mesmerizing.
– Never again. This will mesmerize you,
though. – Uh…
– It's gotta be
thick and goopy, right? I think this is going to be
watery and explosive 'cause it's near the stomach. There's a lot of goop
in there. Cysts don't go
all the way to the core. This is in the skin.
This is in the skin. And it's just wet skin. I know you're a doctor, but I
just feel like it finds a way. – It just finds a way
to get in there.
– Thick and goopy. B, watery and explosive. Okay, let's see it. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! No! No! No! No! No! No! I don't even know
what's right. I'm right. Mashed frickin'
potatoes, man. Yes, yes, you're not doing
very well, Rhett. – All right, I took the lead.
– I don't have the gift,
and I don't care. Okay, the last one.
Question number five. Okay, for the grand finale, we have what we call
the baby-faced cyst.It's on the left hip
of a gentleman.– Link:Oh, my goodness.
– Lee:It had a little
baby face.Are you sure
that's just not a twin? Well, we find out. This is an epidermoid cyst that was on a man
for over 50 years. So when this came out,
when we birthed it, this 50-year-old baby-faced
cyst baby. Did it look like A,
gray goop?Like gray oil sludge that
mysteriously clogged up
your brand new lawn mower?Or B, A hairball,like it was actually
a gigantic ball of hair? Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh. This guy had hair
for 50 years? You– I mean,
I wanna see hair come out. I bet it's hair. Gosh. – Oh, please be hair.
– It's gotta be gray goop. I don't even think I'll
be grossed out by hair. Now, because I'm winning
and I wanna win a game 'cause I rarely do that, I'm going to agree
and say a hair ball. Okay, you think it's hair ball? – Yes.
– Okay. Okay, let's find out. – Oh. Oh.
– No. – Oh! Oh!
– Oh. – We're both wrong.
– Man, you flinched on that one. I had to catch it like
it was going to spray on me. I had to, like, block it,
and I grabbed the gauze. We didn't have enough
gauze under us. That looks like something
that's been just packed up
in there for 50 years. Yeah, it's like clay. Actually people– A lot
of people say on this one, "Try the gray stuff.
It's delicious." That's what the quote is,
I guess. – Oh!
– Do the text. What do you do with that stuff?
Do you keep it? – No.
– All right, so it looks like I win
this as well. Do the honors
on the one that…
hmm… This is a good one.
This actually should be
really ripe. Just like a little pus
Coming here. Oh, yes, it is.

Ohio State moved to 2-0 this season with a 107-61 win over Purdue Fort Wayne (PFW). This was Ohio State's highest scoring game since it hung 111 points on Marshall on November 25th, 2016. (That team went 18-15, so let's not read too much into this). This game truly was a tale of two halves. The Buckeyes had their hands full in the first half and led by 41-34 st the break. The second half was marked by torrid OSU 3-point shooting (61%) and disruptive defense (PFW shot 30% in the half) to outscore the Mastodons 66-27.
The first half was evenly contested, as the 7 point halftime margin would indicate. At the 12:30 mark, the score was tied at 16-16. A Luther Mohammad layup at 11:56 gave Ohio State the lead that they would never relinquish. The margin stayed at 2 – 9 points for the remainder of the half. The play in the first half gave a slight indication of how things were going to go for PFW. After making 4 of their first 5 long range shots, they finished the half on a 2-11 "run". Live by the 3, die by the 3; the Mastodons were facing extinction.
The 2nd half was marked by Ohio State's C.J. Jackson and Duane Washington, Jr. absolutely gutting the Mastodons with long range shooting. In a one minute span (17:46 – 16:40) C.J. made three consecutive 3-point shots to expand a 7 point lead to a 14 point lead. The tone of the game was completely changed by this stretch of play. Duane was 4-6 from long range to help Ohio State keep pushing the Mastodons into the tap pit. Duane's 3-pointer with 1:49 remaining put the Buckeyes over the century mark on the scoreboard. Jaedon LeDee led all Buckeye scoring in the 2nd half with two field goals (2-2) and 11-12 from the free throw line. In a study in contrast; OSU was 11-18 from 3-point range in the 2nd half. PFW was 0-11.
The Buckeyes were led by C.J. Jackson (25 points), Duane Washington, Jr (20), Jaedon LeDee (16) and Luther Mohammed (12). This was a career high performance for C.J. who also contributed 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Kaleb Wesson contributed 8 points and a team leading 7 rebounds.
The Mastodons were led by John Konchar and Kason Harrell (13 points each) and Matt Holba (10). Konchar also led the Mastodons in rebounding (9) and assists (5).
Ohio State shot 61% from the field (34-56), 54% (15-28) from 3-point range and 85% from the foul line (24-28). Clearly, the Buckeyes wore their Shooting Shoes on Sunday.
Purdue Fort Wayne shot 34% from the field (22-65), 22% from 3-point range (6-27) and 65% (11-17) from the foul line.
What Went Right
To start, I'd say Ohio State's defense was very active and overall, well positioned. I think they did a nice job with the proverbial "2nd half adjustments" by neutralizing aspects of PWF's game that were an issue in the first half. Notably, after going 6-16 with 3-point shots in the 1st half, PFW went 0-11 in the 2nd half. The Buckeyes put just enough pressure on PFW to hurry their shots just enough.
Ohio State's shooting was extraordinary. Their points per possession of 1.40 is extremely high. Their FG% of 61% and 3-point% of 54% stretched the charts in efficiency.
Staying with "shooting", Ohio State's freshmen were 13-22 (59%) from the field. The stage does not appear to be too big for these gentlemen. Or, at least the home stage. The Buckeyes have only one more away game (Creighton) until they visit Illinois on December 5th. This home stretch should get the younger Buckeyes comfortable playing on familiar turf.
What Didn't
When you a team shoots over 60% and scores over 100 points, clearly, not a hell of a lot didn't work. However the lack of offensive rebounding still bothers me – as it has for years. The Buckeyes gathered 6 offensive rebounds (OR) or 27% of their misses, as a rough measure.
Although we are barely into the season, Ohio State ranks 273rd ) in the nation averaging 6 per game, per TeamRankings. Nation leading East Tennessee State University is averaging 18.5 OR per game! Last year both teams averaged 8.6 OR per game.
Still some work to be done. That's all I have for now.
- Three (Washington, LeDee, Muhammad) of Ohio State's top four scorers are Freshmen. I'll take this as a good sign.
- At one point during the game, one of the announcers asked the other "Who does Ohio State run it's offense through?" I can answer that – C.J. Jackson. He finally got subbed out with six minutes remaining. There were stretches where C.J. was the only Buckeye on the floor older than a sophomore. Make no mistake – this is C.J. Jackson's team.
- According to teamrankings.com the Buckeyes are now projected to finish the regular season 23-8 and 13-7 in B1G play. They rank Ohio State as the 12th best team in the country and #3 in the B1G. Their chance to make the NCAA's is 78%. Granted, this is a "way too soon" evaluation, but it is fun to follow.
- Ohio State had a slight edge in "inside play" by out-rebounding PFW 39-30 and outscoring them 34-26 "points in paint". The big swing came in bench performance. Ohio State's subs played an aggregate of 75 minutes and scored 53 points on 15-25 shooting. The PFW bench played 65 minutes, but scored only 14 points on 3-15 shooting. OSU's bench was more aggressive and more efficient.
- The win was nice, but I'm in a much better mood after seeing Andre Wesson return to the game for the second half. In his fall, just before halftime, Andre ran the gamut with floor collision – tailbone, back, head.
- Typically I'd get a bit exercised about a game where Ohio State had only 6 offensive rebounds which amounted to 27% of their missed shots. However, since they did shoot 61% from the field and go over 100 points, it probably wasn't a big deal against PFW.
Up Next
The Buckeyes travel to Omaha, NE to face Creighton University. The game is set for Thursday, November 15th with a 7:00 pm ET tip-off. You can watch the game on FS1 or listen to it on 97.1 The Fan. Or both.
The Blue Jays (2-0) are averaging 77 points per game while allowing 68 ppg. They average 34 rebounds and 14 turnovers per game. For comparison, the Buckeyes are scoring 85 and allowing 59 points per game. Ohio State averages 40 rebounds and 12 turnovers per game.
Getting back to offensive rebounding for a minute… In Creighton's previous game, a 75-69 win over the aforementioned ETSU, ETSU had 19 ORs vs 3 for Creighton. Let's see what Thursday brings.
Creighton has four players that average double figures scoring per game. They are Ty-Shon Alexander (16.0), Mitch Ballock (11.5), Damien Jefferson (11.0) and Martin Krampelj (10.0). Jefferson leads the team averaging 7 rebounds per game and Ballock with 3 assists per game.

We spend a lot of our lives looking for role models, mentors, teachers, and gurus to guide us on our path.There is nothing wrong with this and, in fact, finding the right person at the right time can really help.However , it is important to realize that in the absence of such a figure, we can very safely rely upon ourselves. We carry within us everything we need to know to make progress on our paths to self-realization.
The outer world serves as a mirror.Or to use another metaphor, our inner world has a magnetic force that draws to us what we need to evolve to the next level.All we need to do to see that we already have everything we need is to let go of our belief that we need to seek in order to find.
The path of the spirit is often defined as a journey with a goal such as the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.In this metaphor, a person begins a search for something they want but do not have and then they find it , and there is a happy ending.
However, most of us know that getting what we want only makes happy for a moment, and then the happiness passes until a new object of desire presents itself . Joy is a permanent aspect to our inner selves and is not separate from us at any point. We do not have to travel to find it or imagine that it resides only in the body of another.In fact, what the best teachers will do is point out that this very precious elixir is something we already possess.
So when we find ourselves on our path , not knowing which way to turn and wishing for guidance,we can turn to ourselves.We may not know the right answer rationally or intellectually,but if we simple ask , let go, and wait patiently , an answer will come.
The more we practice this and trust this process, the less we will look outside ourselves for teachers and guides for we will have successfully become our own.
The Creator designed us with a free will. That means we function from choices and consequences. It is important that we practice thinking about consequences before we make decisions about choices. Every choice I make is like setting up dominoes one after the other that produce consequences. Not just for me but also for my children and for the children that are unborn. My choices and decisions today will have consequences for seven generations. For example, it I work on my own spiritual development and Iwalk the Red Road, the odds are that my children will. They will marry and their children will follow the Red Road and so will my grandchildren even up to the seventh generation. This will happen because of the choices and decisions that I make today.

Family policy in the academy
When I began my career at Montana State University in 2002, there were few family-friendly policies in place for instructional nine-month faculty. Even though my work centered on family law and public policy, I hadn't investigated what policies were on the books until I became pregnant myself. What a shock it was to learn that I would not be eligible for any leave after the birth of my daughter because she was due in June and by then I'd be off contract. Through negotiations with my department head, I was offered a one-course release that fall if I wrote a grant and produced at least one manuscript.
During that first year as a new mother, I remember being exhausted, unfocused, out of balance, and in survival mode—not how I had hoped to experience my long-awaited role as a parent. And as I commiserated with others, we lamented not living in Sweden, not working for one of those Fortune 500 companies (who offer some of the best leave policies in the U.S.), not feeling good about our production as workers or as parents, and not feeling supported by the very academic institutions to which we had been so committed. Of course, I was reminded that I had it better than many of my academic elders and others in the academy or in the U.S.—I at least had accrued paid sick leave to take should my kiddo become ill, and I had a private office with a locking door, where I could express milk whenever I needed. No pumping in the bathroom stall for me!
Wondering what others were experiencing, I began to gather narratives from colleagues documenting how pregnant women negotiated leaves within their units, what (mis)information was being shared about leave-taking, how they felt about their circumstances, and how they perceived the academic climate as they transitioned to motherhood.
Giving voice to these experiences birthed a movement at Montana State University to advocate for better family policies for all parents and other caregivers. After a few years of organizing, advocacy, and sacrifice, we successfully saw our institution adopt more family-friendly policies and practices (including a paid "family advocate" position sponsored by the Provost's Office, tenure-clock stoppage, and a dedicated family care room).
In 2013, when I joined the faculty of George Mason University, I was again shocked to find that the institution did not have a parental leave policy for faculty (other than sick leave and the Family and Medical Leave Act). Again, we organized. We collected narratives, compared policies from our sister institutions, and began meeting regularly to strategize how we could move the university to expand definitions of a "well-being institution" beyond the individual level.
After two-plus years of faculty and staff advocacy, and with support from key administrators, I am thrilled to report that George Mason University (as of October 2015) now offers all instructional faculty (men and women) a 50% reduction in workload in the year following a birth or adoption. This policy, decoupled from sick leave and Family and Medical Leave Act, is offered in addition to tenure-clock stoppage.
I share these stories in the hopes that others will take up family policy education and advocacy in the academy. There remains a great deal of work left to do, and a growing body of resources is available to support these efforts (which are often linked to advancing women and other underrepresented faculty in STEM fields and in the academy more broadly). Please email me for more information.
