Nurse Call/Staff Duress
This secure facility is a heritage listed psychiatric hospital located in Wacol.
There were several technical issues that needed to be addressed and a solution developed that would encompass the following:
- EOL (End of Life) Austco Nurse Call system that needed to be maintained for at least the next 10 years
- Austco head end node controllers that were starting to randomly fail
- Austco head end node controllers were disconnecting from the closed LAN haphazardly without maintenance staff knowing the state of the connected devices
- Instability of the closed local area network
- No visibility of the field devices (node controllers, annunciators, etc.) by the onsite maintenance staff
- Upgrade of the network—this had to be done in a cost-effective manner and without significant disruption to the operational activity within the facility
- Staff Duress events, being critical for the functioning of this high secure facility, were not recorded for management/maintenance review
A significant challenge that Electrotek faced was that the existing Austco head end node controllers were 'intelligent' and operated on their own private LAN. As part of our overall upgrade, we had to ensure that the new/replacement non-intelligent controllers were to be connected to the facility's LAN for the maintenance staff to monitor. In addition, the upgrade had to be executed without significant impact to the daily operation of the hospital and implemented in a staged deployment to ensure that staff were not placed at risk.
The proposal offered encompassed:
- Install a centralised ECall monitoring and reporting server in the security communications room, connected to the facilities LAN
- Replace the existing Austco head end node controllers with our non-intelligent PIC-A (Austco Protocol Interface Controller) and connected to the facility's LAN
- Rewire the Austco annunciators and connect them to the ECall monitoring and reporting server
- Install and configure an ECall client viewer for the onsite maintenance staff in their workshop
The upgrade was implemented as per our proposal and has now been operational for over 12 months.

Antonio M Lacy, MD, PhD
Beatriz Martín Pérez, MD
Hospital Clinic (Barcelona, Spain)
A 73-year-old male presented with a local recurrence for rectal cancer. Initially, the patient had a cT4N1 3 cm from the anal verge, received neoadjuvant treatment and underwent a transanal intersphincteric resection (ypT3N0). No adjuvant treatment was indicated. A year later he presented with a pulmonary metastatic nodule, which was resected followed by chemotherapy. Three years later, a perianal nodule below the anastomosis was detected, associated with elevated CEA levels, positive imaging, and positive pathology for malignancy. An abdominoperineal resection by a two-team approach (Cecil approach) was then indicated.
The patient is placed in the lithotomy position, and a Foley catheter is inserted. First the anus is closed and the perianal skin is scored circumferentially with a cautery. Extraelevator dissection is not performed in our center. The dissection is continued from the skin into the subcutaneous tissue circumferentially, creating a skin flap to place the Lonestar retractor. Further open resection is carried out through the fatty tissue in order to create enough space for the transanal platform to sit. At this point, a purse-string is created along the skin border so that, whenever the transanal platform is placed, the perianal skin can be adjusted around the platform. A continuous running silk suture is used, removing the Lonestar as the purse-string progresses.
Different transanal platforms are available. For abdominoperineal resections, a plastic flexible platform may adjust more adequately to the skin, tying the purse-string around it (GelPOINT mini®, Applied Medical, Inc). Trocars are placed on the gel platform lid, one of them for the continuous flow insufflation device (Airseal®, Conmed). The lid is adjusted onto the transanal platform and a pneumorectum is created. A laparoscopic 3D flexible tip camera, a hook cautery and a grasper are used through the transanal platform in order to continue the mesorectal dissection.
Operative time was 150 minutes. The post-operative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged on 4th post-operative day.
In conclusion, the transanal approach to abdominoperineal resection is a safe and feasible technique in our experience. Technical steps are critical in order to perform this technique transanally as the available instruments are adapted for the procedure.

Jewellery & Leaf Table Ware
My Degree is in Ceramics and since qualifying back in 1995 I continue to create using clay as my primary medium alongside my healing business. I love the tactile nature of this malleable material; the fact that you can mould it into any form, and then fire it in a kiln, and it turns into hard durable ceramics! This still amazes me each time I open my kiln! My love of nature has combined with this love of clay to produce a number of unique ceramic collections. I make ceramic jewellery using the impression of real leaves, often collected from local arboretums and I have recently extended this range to include serving leaf platters and dishes. I also make vases inspired by the nature I see on my travels to far away places, most recently the desert cactus in Arizona. My ceramic art is my own therapy, 'it washes away from my Soul the dust of every day life' as quoted by Pablo Picasso…and allows me to be totally present, a type of mediation practise if you like.
Crystal Shell Jewellery
It's always good to combine passions, so because I love creating and making things with my hands, collecting and foraging for natural objects, and I'm passionate about the healing properties of Reiki and Crystal Therapy, it made pure sense to bring all these aspects together by making Crystal Shell Jewellery. Each piece I make is unique, and made using hand selected crystals and shells. Reiki symbols have been infused in each piece allowing this natural universal life force energy to flow within and around the object. This energy can then be absorbed by the wearer and so help promote balance and harmony in the body, encouraging the body's natural healing process. I can make bespoke pieces if you have particular colours and crystals in mind so please do contact me to discuss this further. Each piece comes with a silver or gold plated chain (or loops for earrings) and displayed in a charcoal black presentation box. These really are beautiful companions to wear!

Revival of militancy in flood-hit areas, serious threat to Pak, world: Provincial ministerAugust 20th, 2010 - 4:24 pm ICT by ANI
Los Angeles, Aug.20 (ANI): Fears over militant groups taking advantage of the destructive floods to win over the minds and hearts of thousands of victims in Pakistan is growing by the day, with even ministers and officials now expressing concerns over the issue warning of its global impact.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain warned that militants were regrouping in the region, which was evident from Tuesday's incident in which over 200 extremists from Khyber, one of the areas in the province which is believed to be the Taliban's sanctuary, clashed with security personnel.
While none of the police officials were killed or injured in the ambush, the incident certainly caused concern to the local administration.
"A resurgence of militancy in the region can become a serious threat for the country as well as for the world, if the provincial government does not get immediate help," The Los Angeles Times quoted Hussain, as saying.
"It will be very difficult for us to fight alone against the militants and cope with the natural disaster simultaneously," he added.
Even President Asif Ali Zardari, who visited the flood affected areas along with visiting US Senator John Kerry, expressed concerns, saying the impending crisis could open the door for recruitment and development of militants.
"Taking babies who have become orphans, putting them in their own camps to train them as the terrorists of tomorrow - things like that is what I'm worried about, what I'm sending an SOS on," Zardari told media persons during the joint press conference with Kerry.
Zardari said the government was trying its best to provide relief to thousands of people affected by the catastrophe, however, he also cautioned people over extremists taking advantage of the situation.
"We are giving them (victims) everything we've got. There is a possibility that some negative forces would exploit this situation," he said.
Speaking during the press conference, Kerry said President Obama is committed to help Pakistan amidst the impending crisis and certainly does not want the negative forces to exploit the situation for their benefit. (ANI)

Do's, don'ts for division alignments, impact transfers; more mailbag
For some, however, those kooky Big Ten divisions remain a cause for concern.
Stewart, in 2004 the ACC expanded and expanded again the following year to have two six-team divisions. The divisions were not split geographically, but "competitively" -- namely, separating Miami and Florida State, ensuring the Hurricanes and the Seminoles would meet in the championship game each year. How did that work out? As a Big Ten backer, I'm afraid Jim Delany's attempt at "competitive balance" (read Michigan vs. Ohio State championship) will repeat the ACC's history and fail miserably.-- Scott Saxton, Windsor, Ontario
I've made well-known my continued distaste for Delany's ridiculous division names (which have yet to be used in a Mailbag this offseason, a streak that won't end even in this answer). Beyond being a punchline, they will likely cause much the same confusion the ACC's Atlantic and Coastal have for anyone outside that region. But I've also stated from Day 1 that Delany was absolutely right to put competitive balance as the No. 1 priority in divisional alignment, and that won't change this week, either.
The ACC's situation was a little different. It was operating under the belief (understandable at that time) that Florida State and Miami were going to be the Oklahoma and Texas of that conference. Placing them in opposite divisions would ensure that each division had a flagship team, and upped the chances of getting two editions a year of its most nationally prominent rivalry. John Swofford couldn't have foreseen that both the Seminoles and Hurricanes were right on the brink of prolonged periods of mediocrity, and that one of his other new invitees, Virginia Tech, would emerge as the league's alpha dog. Led by the Hokies, the Coastal Division has won four of six conference championship games, but you might be surprised to learn that the Atlantic holds a slight 147-141 edge in regular-season games.
In Delany's case, yes, the Ohio State/Michigan dynamic hovered over all expansion decisions, but his league is now home to four traditional powerhouses, not two. And if he'd gone strictly by geography, three of the four (Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State) would have been bunched on one side with Nebraska on the other. While it's rare that all four will be dominant at the same time -- in fact, they aren't now -- over any larger stretch of time, it's a pretty good bet that these four will be appearing in the title game most often. That obviously wouldn't happen with three on one side.
Ideally, you want to achieve what the SEC has enjoyed mostly through natural geography. Entering its 20th season of divisions, the East and West have been incredibly balanced, with the East leading in titles (11 to eight) but the West holding a slight edge in cross-division play (a .509 winning percentage). Conversely, you want to avoid what happened to the Big 12, where the South maintained a stranglehold over the North (11 titles to four, including the last seven) that the title game was often anticlimactic (not to mention the larger political infighting that led to Nebraska bolting). Maybe I'm not giving Iowa, Wisconsin and the rest enough credit, but I do believe a straight geographical split would have caused many of the same problems for the Big Ten.
Stewart, who are the impact transfers that become eligible this season?-- Gary Thornton, Crystal Beach, Fla.
Well, we already discussed the most high-profile of the bunch, N.C. State-turned-Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson. Many of us are expecting a similar splash from Kansas State running back Bryce Brown, so much so that he's already garnered preseason All-Big 12 honors. That may seem presumptuous for a guy that rushed for just 460 yards as a Tennessee freshman in 2009, but the former No. 1 recruit suffered a hip injury in preseason camp that hampered him much of the year. He looked good in K-State's spring game, and given Bill Snyder's history with elite tailbacks, I fully expect Brown to continue the tradition. Another former all-everything running back recruit, Darrell Scott, becomes eligible at USF this season following two uninspiring seasons at Colorado (459 yards total). Bulls coach Skip Holtz doesn't hesitate to mention Scott's potential impact, but he's not quite as much a sure thing as Brown.
As for some more under-the-radar guys, look for former USC tight end Blake Ayles, a senior who is immediately eligible due to USC's sanctions, to play a big role in Al Golden's Miami offense. Another former Trojan, junior linebacker Uoana Kaveinga, is expected to be one of the stalwarts of BYU's defense. Arizona receiver Dan Buckner, who left Texas following an arrest on two misdemeanor charges, made seven starts and caught 44 passes for 445 yards for the Longhorns' '09 BCS runner-up team. And Cal coach Jeff Tedford has already named Buffalo transfer Zach Maynard his starting quarterback, beating out incumbent Brock Mansion. One other guy worth mentioning is Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones (from, you guessed it, USC), who could have a huge impact but whose NCAA eligibility is currently in question.
Stewart, I'm a teacher so I have a lot of time on my hands during the summer, but I do keep busy. I was interested in the success of many coaches in their second year so I crunched some numbers and found that of the 112 coaches hired from 2000-2010 (yes, I know that is 11 seasons), 50 percent of them improved the team's win total in their first year. Of 100 coaches in their second year at the same school, 59 percent improved the win total from the year before. But get this, of 82 coaches in their third year, only 41 percent improved on the previous year's win total. Any thoughts?-- Horacio, Staten Island, N.Y.
Well first of all, thank you for taking the time to compile and deliver empirical evidence that finally confirms the "second year" phenomenon with coaches. For a while, I sat here trying to come up with some common thread behind this apparent third-year slump (losing an important senior class, complacency after a breakout second season, etc.), but the explanation is probably a lot simpler. How many teams -- regardless of how long the coach has been there -- improve their record for three straight seasons? It's hard to pull off, what with players coming and going, not to mention you'd probably have to be pretty far down to begin with. For example, Michigan's Rich Rodriguez presumably counted among those 41 percent, going from three wins to five to seven, but what good did that do him?
Horacio did his research, so here's mine: Of the 67 BCS-conference teams, just 11 improved their record each of the past three seasons -- 16 percent. Assuming a similar percentage among the other five leagues, that means the majority of those successful third-year coaches were probably just experiencing a normal rise after a normal dip, i.e., the natural flow of college football.
Stewart, every year at the beginning of the season the major media outlets all lament the rise of FCS matchups, and every year the argument is that the fans deserve better. But I have a lot of conversations with a lot of college football fans, and I rarely hear anyone complain about his or her school playing one game per year against an FCS team. If anyone complains it's almost always in the context of some other team not deserving its ranking because of a weak nonconference schedule. So here's my question: Do you actually get many complaints from fans about their own schools playing FCS teams?-- Stephen, Atlanta
Actually, now that you mention it -- no, I do not. And that's exactly why the schools will keep doing it. They know 90,000 people will show up every Saturday whether they're playing Georgia or Georgia State.
Have you ever seen so many good football coaches not working? Ethical issues aside, these are some of the best recruiters and Xs and Os men out there: Mike Leach, Jim Tressel, Urban Meyer, Butch Davis, Rich Rodriguez, the guy who was at Miami (Ohio) and then Pitt for a week [Mike Haywood] ... who am I missing?-- Ezra Hood, Fort Worth
Phillip Fulmer would probably want you to know you left him out.
In all seriousness, yes, that's a pretty impressive list. Usually each year, when we get to hiring/firing season, there are at least one or two big names "between jobs" that get bandied about for every notable opening. Last year it was Leach, the year before Tommy Tuberville. But this coming year could be especially intense. Tressel and Davis are likely done coaching college football, but Meyer will be in high demand, Rodriguez is still respected enough to land somewhere decent and Leach will be putting his name out there, though he may need to accept a lower-profile gig than he feels he deserves. I also believe that former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti has another job left in him. (He briefly dallied with Colorado last year.) Imagine if all those guys wound up back on the sideline in the same season.
Here's an interesting tidbit for you: Four of the first five coaches to win BCS championships were eventually forced out of their jobs -- Fulmer (who won in '98), Bobby Bowden ('99), Larry Coker ('01) and Tressel ('02). There really is no such thing as lifelong job security.
C'mon ... Someone has to talk about it. How is ESPN NOT an illegal booster for Texas?-- Rob, Seattle
Of course I laughed when I saw this -- the word "illegal" conjuring images of ESPN execs being led off in handcuffs for starting The Longhorn Network. But in terms of NCAA legalese, he does have a point.
According to Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com, the core of Texas A&M's argument to the NCAA to ban TLN from televising high school games (the Big 12 has banned them for one year, but the NCAA has yet to make any ruling) is that the network is in fact a "representative of athletic interests" -- i.e., a booster. Citing a 1994 interpretation that "institutional publications" -- all those team-specific print magazines from the pre-Rivals.com era -- fall under the booster umbrella, A&M contends that The Longhorn Network is essentially the same thing, just on television. I can't find fault with that. The fact that ESPN runs the network as opposed to the school itself is irrelevant. Notre Dame doesn't publish Blue and Gold Illustrated, either.
To be clear, if the NCAA agrees, this ruling would designate TLN as a booster, not ESPN itself. Because if ESPN is a booster for Texas, then it's also a booster for Alabama, Michigan, USC and every other school that receives revenue from its contracts.
The No. 1 quarterback recruit is going to ... Indiana!!! Was that a real headline or am I dreaming? What will a commitment like this so early in the game mean for the next few years at IU?-- Nate, Atlanta
It's a Mailbag milestone: We've uncovered an actual Indiana football fan. All it took was Gunner Kiel. Yes, the No. 1 QB in the class of 2012 has committed to the Hoosiers (at least until the recruiting services issue their revised rankings this winter with an SEC commit on top). And while there were unique circumstances at play -- Kiel lives in the state (Columbus) and his brother, Dusty, is the Hoosiers' likely starter this fall. But no way does such a sought-after player choose the Hoosiers if not for Kevin Wilson. There's a reason Indiana got my highest grade for last winter's coaching hires. Wilson, the former Oklahoma and Northwestern offensive coordinator, is a quarterback's dream. He orchestrated one of the most prolific offenses in the country and helped produce a Heisman winner with Sam Bradford in 2008. He's long been at the forefront in terms of the no-huddle and spread concepts. He knows the Big Ten and, more importantly, he knows how to win championships. To this point Wilson was largely selling just his own pedigree, but now with Kiel he has a face for his program that should certainly pay dividends both on the field and in recruiting.
I can't take credit for this, because someone I can't remember said it first on Twitter, but Kiel could be to Indiana what Tim Couch was to Kentucky in the late 1990s. Couch was a national high school legend who could have gone anywhere but chose to stay home and wound up becoming a Heisman finalist and No. 1 draft pick playing in the Hal Mumme/Leach offense. Who knows whether Kiel will do any of that, but he and Wilson give people a reason to be interested in IU football for the first time in a long time.
Stewart, with the NFL lockout finally concluded, one of the terms of the agreement included a rookie salary cap, cutting down on the bloated contracts awarded to recent No. 1 draft picks. Now that the deal is in place, how do you see it affecting an underclassman's decision to jump to the NFL early? Surely, a $10 million contract is still a big motivating factor to a poor college student, but it is not nearly the same motivation as a $50 million guaranteed contract (like Sam Bradford got).-- Aaron B, Tulsa
Poor Cam Newton. Just by virtue of being the No. 1 pick in 2011 instead of 2010 he got less than a third ($22 million) of what Bradford could potentially make ($78 million) in his first contract. It's the first time I've ever felt sorry for someone making $22 million (And please, save the inevitable "less than he made at Auburn" jokes).
To answer the question, I don't think it will have any effect. The guys that make the decision to go pro primarily for the money are going to keep doing so whether the money is $5 million or $50,000. Every year, you see a lot of players make seemingly puzzling decisions to turn pro and wind up going low or undrafted. Those guys are much more likely to have dollar signs in their eyes -- be it to support their family, because they just don't like college or simply hold deluded dreams of grandeur -- than the type of players in line for those $10-$20 million contracts. While there are certainly exceptions, the elite of the elite aren't making the decision based on dollar figures as much as draft position, long-term development or, in the case of a guy like Bradford (who could have turned pro a year earlier), whether they feel they're ready for such a drastic move. I don't think you're going to see too many juniors say, "You know what? The guaranteed contracts aren't what they used to be. I might as well stay another year."
In regards to your epic robot article. I like it, however, even with robots:
• Minnesota will still fire its coach for only winning seven games three years in a row
• Clemson will still underperform
• Idaho's coach-bot will leave after two seasons for a better gig
• Most Big Ten robot games will still be sluggish and boring to watch
• Everyone will still hate Notre Dame
• Paterno-Bot will coach for eternity-- Adam Darby, Louisville
I don't know about you, but I'm quite OK with all of that.

Cairo: Egypt's deposed president Mohammad Mursi was buried in Cairo on Tuesday, his lawyer said, a day after he collapsed in court and died.
State TV said the 67-year-old's death was due to a cardiac arrest.
"He was buried in Medinat Nasr, in eastern Cairo, with his family present," said Abdel Moneim Abdel Maksoud, one of his lawyer.
Mursi died Monday at a Cairo courtroom where he was retried in an espionage case. The 67-year-old Islamist died of a heart attack, state media said.
Mursi collapsed inside the cage after he spoke for five minutes upon his request, Egypt's chief prosecutor Nabil Sadeq said.
He was pronounced dead at arrival in a hospital, according to the prosecutor's statement.
An initial examination of Mursi's body showed there were no recent injuries, the statement added.
The prosecutor ordered a panel of senior forensic officials to compile a report on the exact cause of Mursi's death before his burial.
The statement said that surveillance cameras inside the courtroom were ordered to be checked, and people who were with Mursi at the time of his death be questioned.
During his statement, Mursi looked angry and tired before dropping unconscious inside the cage, legal sources added.
He fainted shortly afterwards. Mursi was a diabetic.
He was on a retrial along with 23 members of his now-banned Muslim Brotherhood group in a case related to spying with the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement during the chaos that followed a 2011 uprising against his predecessor Hosni Mubarak.
In mid-2013, Mursi was deposed by the army following enormous street protests against his one-year rule.
He has since been tried in several cases including spying for his staunch backer Qatar and orchestrating a mass prison break during Egypt's 2011 revolt

This easy slow cooker meal is a simple combination of steak pieces, vegetables, and a tasty tomato mixture.
It's a meal in one pot, made easy and convenient with the slow cooker. Just prepare the vegetables and toss them into the slow cooker in the morning. While your meal cooks, you can be working or running errands; or just sit back and enjoy your day.
The dish is adaptable as well. For meat, feel free to use steak tips or boneless short ribs in the dish. The vegetables are versatile as well. If you aren't a fan of green beans, leave them out and serve the dish with your family's favorite side vegetable. Or add a handful of baby carrots or chunks of rutabaga to the pot. Small boiling onions are an excellent alternative to sliced onions. Mushrooms—whole or sliced, canned or fresh—are an excellent option as well. The possibilities are endless!
- 2 pounds round steak (about 1/2-inch thick)
- Dash garlic powder
- Dash kosher salt
- Dash ground black pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 4 to 5 medium potatoes
- 1 can green beans (drained, or frozen and thawed green beans)
- 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can tomato soup (condensed)
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can tomatoes (diced or cut-up, with liquid)
Steps to Make It
Season the round steak lightly with the garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper. Cut the steak into serving-size portions or cubes and place in slow cooker.
Peel the onion and slice it into rings.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. If the potatoes are large, cut them into 2-inch chunks.
Add the potatoes, onion slices, and green beans to the crock pot.
In a bowl, combine the tomato soup and tomatoes; stir to blend. Pour the tomato mixture over the vegetables.
Cover the pot and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or cook on high for about 4 to 5 hours. The vegetables and meat should be very tender.
The condensation over long, slow cooking will add some extra water to the dish, which can water down the juices. If the liquids taste watery, you can reduce them on the stovetop. Strain the liquids into a saucepan and bring them to a boil (keep the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker on warm or low) on the stovetop. Continue cooking for 2 to 5 minutes, or until reduced, and the flavors are concentrated.
Arrange the beef and vegetables on a platter. Spoon the liquids over all and serve with crusty French bread or dinner rolls.
- The best potato for the slow cooker is a low starch "waxy" variety. Choose red-skinned potatoes, new potatoes, fingerlings, or a medium starch Yukon Gold.
- Higher starch potatoes—such as russets and Katahdins—can be used, but be aware they will not hold their shape as well as the lower starch varieties.

Sant'Angelo in PontanoSant'Angelo in Pontano website - Conoscere un paese ...
Welcome to Sant'Angelo in Pontano
sabato, novembre 4, 2006, 11:00 PM - TurismoSant'Angelo is a typical, ordinary place of the "Bella Italia" widely appreciated in the world. A place where everyone knows each other, with pros and cons of the inner Marches' provincial life.
Being part of the Blue Mountains - Monti Azzurri Community, In the Macerata province, on an ancient road to Piceno, not far from the Adriatic Sea and the Sibillini mountains, Sant'Angelo is a cozy village set in the heart of the Marches, built up slowly across the ages by many people that have passed through or lived here leaving signs of their culture.
With well visible and preserved civil and religious architecture, art is the witness of the history of these places. The Benedectine abbey and a number of churches, are caskets that preserve nice canvas and other artworks. They show us how this land was a place of sincere cultural and artistic activity, where craftsmen, hard labour and faith in God have deeply affected the landscape.
Sant'Angelo offers a number of panoramic view over the adjacent valleys of the rivers Ete Morto and Tenna, with an unlimited extension of hills that, in harmonic sequence, slope down from the Apennines' chain of mountains to the sea, embracing the countryside in their splendid nature of agricultural environment. You can step back in time and enjoy the patchwork landscape of neatly ploughed fields, sunflowers vineyards, oak and olive trees, scattered farmhouses, and hilltop towns and villages with views stretching up to the mountains and down to the Adriatic sea.
Population: 1512
SantAngelo in Pontano stands at a height of 473 metres above sea level
The name
The first part of the name is clearly a reference to st. Michael the Archangel, a saint very dear to the Lombards, whose image appears on the town coat of arms; according to recent tradition, the second part derives from pantano meaning swamp or marsh; it seems that in early times there was an area of marshland in the valley below the settlement. However, the name comes from the location of SantAngelo in the administrative district of gastaldato Pontano established by the Lombards' Duke of Spoleto.
La collegiata
Worth visiting is the beautiful Romanesque church of S.Salvatore built in the XII century, with its crypt and presbytery. It has a beautiful fresco of Madonna and Child (Salimbeni school XIV-XV century).
Sant'Angelo offers 3 remarkable restaurants, and all your day to day needs.
Paths and tracks
There are many rural and summer holiday places scattered with country houses, preserving a millennial tradition.
Mountain bikes is an excellent way of exploring the local countryside, and from the village you can explore a number of natural historical and scenic paths connecting SantAngelo to the nearby villages of Penna San Giovanni and Gualdo. The tracks wind through predominantly oak woods and are easy to follow, on foot or by bicycle, with many little streams running through this lovely landscape.

Saint Nicholas of Tolentino was born in the village of Sant'Angelo in Pontano in 1245.
On Tuesday 5 January 2010, in the community of Milan, has returned to the Father Fr. Leonardo "Francesco" Zega, 81 years, 68 of Pauline life, 55 of priesthood.
Born in S. Angelo in Pontano (Macerata, Italy) on 19 April 1928, he entered as a thirteen-year old in the Roman seminary of the Society of Saint Paul on 9 October 1941. Immediately from the start he showed a marked inclination for the priestly religious life; and not delaying to emerge were his frank and determined sometimes easygoing character, his lively intelligence, many-sided entrepreneurship, ease in writing and talking: qualities that he put to fruition in his apostolate in the field of Pauline journalism. He entered the novitiate in Alba (Cuneo) in September of 1944 and made his first religious profession on 8 September 1945, taking the name of Francesco in that circumstance.

Save the Last Bullet for God
by JT Allblood
What if God was killed amidst the chaos of World War II?
What if what you thought that you knew as history is just an illusion?
Throughout history, we have seen war, the spread of civilization and the discovery of many wonders. But what if in all that time, Homo sapiens were merely evolving into something new?
What if, on the inside, we are all alien?
Vienna, 1920. Wilhelm Reich is a medical student, working as a night nurse at a mental hospital when he meets Maria Orsic, a beautiful young woman who happens to be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Wilhelm is captivated and finds himself falling in love. Then, one night, he helps her to escape, only to lose her the next morning.
Years later, he is a respected psychiatrist working in Berlin when he meets Maria for the second time. And he finds that she needs his help again — with a message she's received from the aliens.
Each end has a story. This tale is a complex one and includes mystics, Nazis, occult societies, the thousands-year-long invasion of aliens into the human genome, retro-chronal causality, secret codes within DNA, the number Pi, the Holy book and so much more.
"Save the Last Bullet for God" is a trilogy set of "Alpha Tauri Strain", "Code of Disjointed Letters" and "Homo Avatarius".
Praise to JT Allblood
"I recommend to anyone who wants to read a book that they can submerse themselves in."
"JT Alblood has intricately woven some of the most popular modern sci-fi and fantasy plots in a mentally engrossing and original work of fiction. As a result, I would highly recommend this to conspiracy fans!"
"Save the Last Bullet for God is an exceptionally good read. The author has a really great way of writing that is easy to follow and kept this book engaging and entertaining throughout"
"I look forward to reading more from this author, my read of this book could only have been better if I could have read it non stop for a few days, rather than with that annoying interruption called "work"."

Well, this weekend I finally got a chance to see the new Bible movie, RISEN, starring Joseph Fiennes, Tom Felton, and Peter Firth. Ever since I saw the poster for this film in December (while waiting in line for STAR WARS: EPISODE VII), I have been anxiously awaiting its release. There were two reasons for this: first of all, because I love Bible movies and I am always anxious to see if they get the story right or not, and secondly, because even from the poster I could tell this movie was going to cover some of the same ground that I covered in my novel, THE REDEMPTION OF PONTIUS PILATE. I was very curious to see what the similarities and differences would be, and from the beginning I wanted to tell all of you about it.
A word about the movie first: Bible-based movies are always a risk for Hollywood. Very seldom does a story lifted straight from the Scripture adapt directly to the screen in a coherent fashion. The Apostles and prophets weren't writing a screen play, they were recording a message from God! So, almost always, the screenwriter has to add characters and pad the narrative in order to make a Bible story into a watchable film. But, when you do that, you are altering a narrative that is holy writ to a large percentage of your potential audience. If you can do it seamlessly, weaving your characters and subplots into the Biblical narrative while remaining true to its message, you can make a movie that the faithful will flock to see - as evidenced by the financial success of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, PRINCE OF EGYPT, and ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING.
However, if you alter the narrative too much, or go overboard with artistic license, you may be left with a movie that is offensive to the very demographic you are trying to draw in - for instance, NOAH, which critics liked, was panned by most evangelicals and frankly, it looked to me as if the SyFy Channel had tried to make a Bible movie! EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS was a little more faithful to the Scriptures, but it still contained significant departures and frankly was a rather bad movie that ran on too long and contained numerous "What were they thinking?" moments.
So Hollywood was overdue for a GOOD Bible movie, and RISEN is it! The plot is simple enough: Joseph Fiennes plays the role of Clavius, a Roman tribune tasked by Pontius Pilate (Peter Firth) with finding the missing body of the Nazarene, apparently stolen from its tomb. But as Clavius searches for the body, what he finds instead is a strong core of believers in Jerusalem who firmly believe that there is no body to be found, because the Nazarene in question has really risen from the dead. Finally, Clavius himself encounters the risen Christ, and his life is forever changed as a result. This was an excellent film, with an engaging plot, sympathetic characters, and a new take on the most important story of the Gospels.
In my book, THE REDEMPTION OF PONTIUS PILATE, I took a similar premise - What would the origin story of Christianity have looked like to a skeptical Roman witness? My story centers on the Prefect of Judea, Lucius Pontius Pilate, and tells his story from the beginning of his military career at age 20 until his death nearly 30 years later, focusing on his interactions with the Emperor Tiberius Caesar and his governance of Judea, specifically in dealing with the beginnings of the Christian movement.
I thought I would take a moment to look at how each work portrayed the main characters of the story, starting with:
PONTIUS PILATE: In my book, Pilate is a harder, leaner man - a soldier first and politician second, with a strong sense of Roman justice combined with a streak of ruthless (and sometimes reckless) cruelty. He rises to the top of Roman society, and then is disgraced and banished to Judea as governor with one order: Keep the peace if you ever want to see Rome again! There he encounters the beginnings of the Christian movement when John begins baptizing in the wilderness. He doesn't act against Jesus for some time, because he doesn't see Him as a threat, instead struggling to put down the much more dangerous Zealot movement. But then he is cornered and railroaded into sending the Galilean to the cross, and suffers recurring nightmares and a sense of guilt thereafter.
In the movie, Pontius Pilate is older and softer - a bureaucrat with a military background who prefers to send other men to do his fighting for him. He is not a bad man, but he is a demanding boss and a bit of a trimmer, more concerned with appearances than results. His main concern is making sure the province is totally pacified before a coming visit from the Emperor, Tiberius Caesar (one of the movie's few historical errors - Tiberius never left the Isle of Capri after 26 AD, except to make an attempted return to Rome in 37 AD, and he died during that journey).
PILATE'S SUBORDINATES: The movie is primarily about Clavius, Pilate's military tribune and trusted commandant and trouble-shooter. He is the protagonist, and shares some of the qualities that I attributed to Pilate himself in my story - a brave soldier with a wry sense of humor and the absolute loyalty of his men. In my story, Pilate's chief subordinate is the Primipilus Centurion, Cassius Longinus, a veteran Roman officer married to a Jewish girl, who acts as a go-between for Pilate with the Jews, who carries out the order to crucify Jesus, then abandons the army to become a Christian after the Resurrection.
JESUS OF NAZARETH: In my book, Pilate's only direct encounter with Jesus is during the infamous trial, although he does observe the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem from a distance. In the movie, Clavius first sees Jesus dead on the cross, and then later encounters the risen Christ and speaks with him, thus becoming a convert to the nascent Christian faith. I will say that Cliff Curtis' portrayal of Yeshua in RISEN is the most Jewish portrayal of Jesus I have ever seen, and he is totally believable in the role.
THE DISCIPLES: In the movie, the main two disciples Clavius deals with are Bartholomew, a very likable and joyous young Jew, and Simon Peter, older, more serious, and eventually more friendly to the Roman tribune. In my book, the main disciple Pilate deals with is John, who heals his son from a severe sickness some time after the Resurrection of Jesus, and also has a couple of close encounters with James, the Lord's Brother, one very early in the story, and then again later on.
Overall, then - RISEN is a fantastic Bible movie that I highly recommend. If you liked it, you will almost certainly enjoy my novel, THE REDEMPTION OF PONTIUS PILATE - so please, buy a copy or download the EBook now! And, if you have already read my book, by all means, go see this movie - it is TOTALLY worth the price of admission! Now here's a link to REDEMPTION. Buy it, read it, watch RISEN, and tell me how accurate my comparisons are!

I'm sure I'll figure out how to turn OFF that running a muck pool sweep and the mega flat screen tv ON. I have my faithful multi-tool so I'm working on it.
Watered most of the yard this morning, may have over watered a few things, and missed a few. Who knew there was a ground wasps nest where I found it.

About us
I am passionate and intrigued by the world of childhood, its dreams, its innocence, its mischief, its laughter and the different stages of a child's development.
If the theme of early childhood speaks to me so much it is because I am the mother of two children Charlie 5 years old and Marceau 2 years old but also because I am a journalist in this field. I spent 9 years writing the program "Les maternelles" on France 5. So all the encounters I had with babies, children, parents or even health professionals, all of them necessarily touched me and left their mark.
On La Cabane, you will find a selection of designer, decorative and childcare items that will accompany your children in their rooms, their games, their dreams and even in your living room!
All products are designed and manufactured by designers. Their know-how, design and quality will make your purchases unique.
Allowing you to learn more about the history of the item you are buying seems to me to be interesting and important. Then La Cabane offers you interviews with creators, the opportunity to discover their background, their universe and the materials they like to work on.
La Cabane also collaborates with a pediatrician, an osteopath, a midwife, a childcare assistant and an interior designer to give you advice, tips and information on specific themes, it's up to you to choose!
The Cabane Des Créateurs is a place where you can stroll, get inspired, get informed and buy selected objects that make sense.
See you soon on La Cabane!

I love tutoring people of all ages; my specialty is in English/communication. I have been tutoring elementary-age children in reading and English for 10 years (volunteering and freelancing). Currently, I am certified to do so through Sylvan Learning Center, where I also tutor beginning and academic math students. Although I have more experience with English, I also really enjoy tutoring elementary math. In order to work for Sylvan, all tutors must pass background checks; mine is on file with them.
In recent years, I have tutored high school students in English and reading as preparation for the ACT, through Huntington Learning Center. In order to tutor ACT prep at Huntington in 2008, I had to take those sections and score in the 90th percentile. I scored in the 99th on both.
During college, I also tutored my foreign peers in English as a second language, which I still enjoy doing. I tutor my foreign husband on a daily basis!

Have you ever thought what it might be like if the world began to rain food like in the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"? The movie focuses on how the main character, Flint Lockwood, always wanted to make a difference and create something new despite of being discouraged by the people around him. His enthusiasm for inventing is what keeps him motivated to continue. Although many of his creative inventions usually end up in failure, Flint doesn't give up. When the only source of revenue for the town is gone, Flint takes it as his opportunity to build a machine that would change water into food. However, things turned out differently than what Flint expected. He ended up changing the weather and making it rain food in the town of Swallow Falls!
Since we're on the topic of inventing, my English class is participating in this "what if" project. Basically, it is an innovation project that has us thinking about what do we or the world needs and asking, "What if…" During one of our process for innovation, we did "bad idea farming." "Bad idea farming" is where we just think of a bunch of bad ideas and branch out from there. This helps our innovation process by using the ideas and finding ways to improve on it. We would think of a need, then come up with a bad idea that would solve the problem. The movie has led me to think about one need: food.
There has always been the issue of the less fortunate not having enough and needing more food so what about thinking of a bad idea to solve it? Well, "what if" someone had actually tried to create a machine that would make it rain food in this society? I mean it would solve the situation. Everybody would have enough to eat every day. Of course, this probably would not happen, and it's a crazy idea since all the kids would get a sugar rush from all the sweets…but hey, thats why it's called a bad idea right?

"Silent" Portal Vein Thrombosis, A Dangerous Side Effect From Cancer
Nurses and oncologists need to give portal vein thrombosis a closer look, according to one oncolgy nurse.
BY Andrew J. Roth
PUBLISHED May 03, 2016
Despite its deadly potential, portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a frequently overlooked side effect for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies including liver and pancreatic cancer. Natasha Ramrup addressed this issue at the 2016 Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Congress, emphasizing that oncology nurses must be diligent in managing the condition.
"Portal vein thrombosis is more common than we think," said Ramrup, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. At her institution, Ramrup said there were over 1,000 new cases of PVT diagnosed in a five-year period.
"Oncology nurses need to be savvy and understand the disease process itself, because they need to be able to manage that care. If you can't identify it, you're not going to be able to manage it."
One of the key challenges with PVT is that it is difficult to detect. In general, Ramrup said, the presentation of PVT ranges from no symptoms at all to rapidly progressive symptoms leading to death.
Acute PVT, which is the sudden formation of a thrombus, can present with severe abdominal pain, ascites, diarrhea, ileus, fever or nausea. Chronic PVT, which develops in patients with acute PVT that was not resolved, can also present asymptomatically or with an entirely new set of symptoms, including pain, ascites, hematemesis, varices or melena.
The most common risk factors for PVT include hypercoagulable states, hepatic cancer, inflammatory diseases, cirrhosis and complications from medical procedures.
Even after diagnosis—typically done by ultrasound, CT scan or MRI—complications associated with PVT are dangerous for patients. Complications include thrombus extension (which is linked to incomplete recanalization of the vessel), intestinal ischemia and infarction (which occurs when the clot extends to the mesenteric artery), esophageal and gastric varices (typically seen over time in chronic PVT) and portal hypertension.
In reviewing literature on how PVT is diagnosed and managed, Ramrup said she was disappointed. Without adequate literature and clinical guidelines, two identical patients could be treated in completely different ways for PVT by different physicians and nurses.
"There are no protocols [regarding] how to manage these patients; it's based on the clinician's experience, which is terrible. Most everything [else] is evidence-based," she said.
"There's no research done to say how long these patients should be treated, when should you monitor them, for how long you should monitor them, and what's the ideal treatment."
Caring for these patients starts with a prompt identification of abnormal physical findings—and nurses are in an ideal position to do that.
"In the ever-changing healthcare environment, treatment for PVT is not a one-size-fits-all," she said.
Beyond treatment, Ramrup says there needs be an overhaul in education. Patients with PVT need to know generally about risk factors, clinical presentation, complications and treatment options. More specifically, patients may need to remain on an anticoagulant for life and should know how to inject themselves, if their anticoagulant needs to be refrigerated, and that they should use a soft toothbrush, among other things. Nurses are also in an ideal position to make a difference in this area, Ramrup says.
"Patient education should be an ongoing endeavor throughout the cancer spectrum for this patient population and is fundamental in the pursuit of excellent patient outcomes," she said.
Regarding the future, Ramrup said she has high hopes but that a lot of work needs to be done. Current research is lacking in three main areas: guidelines to determine who should receive anticoagulation therapy, surveillance for patients at risk and guidelines for patients with other conditions like cancer or inflammatory diseases who do not have cirrhosis-related PVT. Generally, future trials are "absolutely necessary to allow the clinician to make treatment decisions based on protocol rather than on clinical judgment."
In five years, Ramrup said, she hopes for a sense of normalcy with PVT—in terms of awareness, education and management—compared with other conditions.

Prayer and Adoption
"The only way you will get through this is through prayer."
Yes, my friends. Apparently, you can only parent a child from hard places if you pray to a particular god, otherwise it's doomed to fail. This is not what my mother said, but it was most certainly implied. Of course, I've read that other places too. There are entire Bible studies devoted to prayer and adoption. But let's say for the sake of argument that prayer really did work. What would you pray for? And does prayer absolve you from doing the hard work?
My mom would say that you should seek guidance from The LORD. That he will give me the wisdom to know what to do in any given situation and that if I pray hard enough, God himself will reach down and "heal" my son. The truth is though, that my son already came from a believing family in which prayer was utilized. It didn't fix him or make his bio mom any better of a mom. My mother and her prayer warrior friends prayed for months for our adoption process to speed up and it didn't. In fact, it got slower. And the only reason things moved was because physical human beings stepped in and made a fuss. Not a single person had it "impressed on their hearts" to suddenly pass his paperwork along. More importantly, we have been connecting with and parenting this young man for several months now and I have not prayed once. And we are doing just fine. Perhaps it is the magical prayers of other people? Seems silly that a god who would condemn me to hell would be willing to step in and give me parenting wisdom just because my mom asked for it.
In fact, I have been a non-believer for two and a half years now and my life has gotten better and better. I haven't actually prayed for longer than that and yet things seem to be improving. My husband has gotten promotion after promotion, to the point where we have crossed into a new tax bracket that makes my lower middle class self rather uncomfortable. We are going to buy a house next year and saving up for the down payment barely changes our spending habits. My marriage isn't just good, it is thriving, despite the setback of my deconversion. Although we argue occasionally, I can honestly say that I am in a happy and healthy marriage. Our kid, despite his many issues, has not been awful. I know he will struggle for the rest of his life and we will certainly be there to guide him, but in the end his issues are his. We can only guide and love, not change, fix, or heal. I have several amazing good friends, most of whom know about my deconversion and have been super supportive of it. I find myself fairly relaxed, well as relaxed as a perfectionist can get. I discovered a love of gardening, have a fantastic job that I love, and am healthier than I have been in years. I'm getting older so I am beginning to have health issues that come with age, but nothing that worries me too greatly.
I know this comes off as bragging, but what I am really trying to convey here is how great my life has become over the past several years. I am so happy that I could reach this point and a lot of hard work went into getting this far. I know there will be rough days ahead. If you read some of my previous posts you would know that I am no stranger to sudden tragedies either. But I have done much of that without prayer and if we were following the correlation=causation fallacy it could be extrapolated that not praying actually makes ones life better. But we shall not fall into that trap. No, the real answer is that your life will have ups and downs and whether you pray or not has no bearing on your life whatsoever.
Revival and Demon-Possession
Friday Shindig Shennanigans
Last Friday I took our young man to a church sponsored shindig with hot dogs, hamburgers, and ice cream sundaes. This event was hosted by my old church, but my kid has a crush on one of the teenagers and I thought it would be a nice outing. Besides, I know a lot of these people and hadn't seen them in a while. Now, for most of the people that I did know, they were all very respectful and kind. Most are my friends on Facebook and they know what we have been doing for the past year and a half. None told me that I should come back to church, none invited my son to church, and all were respectful of the fact that he is of a different religion.
The same cannot be said for the strangers at the party who began to attend that church after I left. Although they were quick to grant me saint status for being an adoptive/foster mom. They were also quick to let me know how important it was that I indoctrinate this kid as quickly as possible. The most perplexing example of this was an old man and his wife. (although they were by no means the only ones) I don't remember their names, but they were in their eighties. Now, I give some leniency to old people and some of their archaic views on things, but these people were really just your typical clueless Christians. The old man told me that he had met several Jews in his life and that none of them knew anything about their religion. And they always asked him about his. The man was invited to a Passover meal with a Jewish family and had the audacity to tell me that they really didn't know what Passover was because they asked him to explain his beliefs concerning that holiday. He took their curiosity about his religion as not knowing about their own. And then formed a biased opinion about all Jews based on this information. So the fact that our son says he is Jewish is obviously deeply concerning because he doesn't know about his religion. True, our kid doesn't, but it isn't because he is Jewish. It's because he isn't curious about things and has been mentally stunted by neglect and trauma.
I did try to explain that Messianic Jews are Christians, but he and several others were having none of it. It's not the right flavor of Christianity for them. Then at the end of the night, as we are leaving, several people (again not my friends) wanted to invite him to church. He politely declined telling them he was of a different religion, but they persisted. "You never know what you will learn" and "I think you will really find Jesus at our church" being the two I overheard. I left him on the porch to fend them off, but mostly because I had been trying to give him as much space as possible all night.
Now, the kid wasn't offended. He thought they were just being kind. And maybe in a way they were. But what I saw was a flagrant disregard for another person's beliefs and an insistence that they had the right version of Christianity. Those who knew us well were gracious and accepting. Never once did they feel the need to invite me back to church. Strangers were not so kind. But here's my thing. You should be respectful to everyone you meet, friend or stranger. If someone looks at you and tells them they are of a different religion, you don't immediately try to convince them that they are idiots who know nothing about their religion and therefore need to join yours. The whole time I kept wondering what these people would do if they knew I didn't believe anymore?
This is a personal, but secret, blog archiving my deconversion from a Christian to a non-believer.

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. -NKJ
Be Anxious for Nothing!
by Linda Lee
James 1:5-8
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (NKJ)
Revelation 21:6
Then he said, "It's happened. I'm A to Z. I'm the Beginning, I'm the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty. Conquerors inherit all this. I'll be God to them, they'll be sons and daughters to me. But for the rest—the reckless and faithless, degenerates and murderers, sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and all liars —for them it's Lake Fire and Brimstone. Second death!"
Jer. 17:7-8
7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit. (NKJ)
Matt. 6:34
"So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." (NKJ)
Living Life One Day at a Time- "So don't be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time. Matt 6:34 (TLB)

Saipem elects new Chief Financial and Strategy Officer
Italian oil and gas industry contractor Saipem has informed that Giulio Bozzini will assume the role of Chief Financial and Strategy Officer (CFSO), with responsibility for Administration, Finance and Control, ICT and Strategy.
