The Upper West Side is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, that lies between Central Park and the Hudson River and between West 59th Street and West 125th Street. The Upper West Side encompasses the neighborhood of Morningside Heights.
The Upper West Side neighborhood median household income of the Upper West Side is above the Manhattan average. Like the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side is an upscale, primarily residential, area, with many of its residents working in more commercial areas in Midtown and Lower Manhattan. While these distinctions were never hard-and-fast rules and now mean little, it has the reputation of being home to New York City's cultural and artistic workers, while the Upper East Side is traditionally perceived to be home to commercial and business types.
CBS NEWS is in the Upper West Side; Some People Reference, Although its actual location is 2 streets down on West 57th Street
The Upper West Side Transportation:
Two subway lines serve the Upper West Side. The IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line (1 2 3 trains) runs along the Broadway making stops at 59th, 66th, 72nd, 79th, 86th, 96th, 103rd, 110th, 116th and 125th streets. The IND Eighth Avenue Line (A B C D trains) runs along the Central Park West stopping at 59th, 72nd, 81st, 86th, 96th, 103rd and 110th streets.
There are five different bus routes that go up and down the Upper West Side, as well as crosstown buses at every major intersection.
* M5: Up and down Riverside Drive to/from 72nd Street and from there south, up and down Broadway
* M7 & M11: Up Amsterdam and down Columbus
* M10: Up and down Central Park West
* M104: Up and down Broadway
The Upper West Side Geography:
The Upper West Side 66-block stretch of Broadway forms the spine of the neighborhood and runs diagonally, north / south across the avenues at the south end of the neighborhood and above 72nd Street moves parallel to the avenues. Broadway enters the neighborhood at its juncture with Central Park West at Columbus Circle (58th Street), crosses Columbus Ave. at Lincoln Square (65th Street), crosses Amsterdam Ave. at Verdi Square (72nd Street), and then merges with West End at Straus Park (aka Bloomingdale Square, at 107th Street).
Morningside Heights, just west of Harlem, is the site of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, Columbia University, Barnard College, Bank Street College of Education, the National Council of Churches, Union Theological Seminary, Manhattan School of Music, Teachers College and Jewish Theological Seminary of America, as well as Grant's Tomb and Riverside Church.
Upon The arrival of the corporate headquarters and expensive condos of the Time Warner Center to The Upper West Side at Columbus Circle, and the Riverside South apartment complex built by Donald Trump, the area from 58th Street to 65th Street is increasingly referred to as Lincoln Square by realtors who acknowledge a different tone and ambiance than that typically associated with the Upper West Side. With the building of Lincoln Center, its name, though perhaps not the reality, was stretched south to 58th Street This is a reversion to the neighborhood's The Upper West Side historical name. Traditionally the The Upper West Side neighborhood ranged from the former village of Harsenville, centered on the old Bloomingdale Road (now Broadway) and 65th Street, west to the railroad yards along the Hudson, then north to 110th Street, where the ground rises to Morningside Heights.
The Upper West Side is bounded on the south by 58th Street, Central Park to the east, and the Hudson River to the west. Its northern boundary is somewhat less obvious. Although it has historically been cited as 110th Street, which fixes the neighborhood alongside Central Park, it is now sometimes considered to be 125th Street, encompassing Morningside Heights. This reflects demographic shifts in Morningside Heights, as well as the tendency of real estate brokers to co-opt the tony Upper West Side name when listing Morningside Heights and Harlem apartments. The Upper West Side area north of West 96th Street and east of Broadway is also identified as Manhattan Valley. The overlapping area west of Amsterdam Avenue to Riverside Park was once known as the Bloomingdale District.
From west to east, the avenues of the Upper West Side are Riverside Drive (12th Avenue), West End Avenue (11th Avenue), Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue (10th Avenue), Columbus Avenue (9th Avenue) and Central Park West (8th Avenue).

The Upper West Side Residences:
The apartment buildings along Central Park West, facing the park, are some of the most desirable apartments in New York. The Dakota at 72nd St. has been home to numerous celebrities including John Lennon, Leonard Bernstein and Lauren Bacall. Other famous buildings on CPW include the Art Deco Century Apartments (Irwin Chanin, 1931) and The Majestic (building) also by Chanin. The San Remo, The Eldorado (300 C.P.W., with the highest sum of Democratic presidential campaign contributions by address in 2004; the home of Herman Wouk's fictional Marjorie Morningstar), and The Beresford were all designed by Emery Roth, as was 41 West 96th Street (completed in 1926). His first commission, the Belle Époque Belleclaire, is on Broadway, while the moderne Normandie holds forth on Riverside at 86th Street. Along Broadway are several Beaux-Arts apartment houses: The Belnord (1908) – the fronting block of which was co-named in honor of longtime resident I.B. Singer, plus The Apthorp (1908), The Ansonia (1902), The Dorilton and the Manhasset . All are individually designated New York City landmarks. Curvilinear Riverside Drive also has many beautiful pre-war houses and larger buildings, including the graceful curving apartment buildings—The Paterno and The Colosseum (apartment building) by Schwartz & Gross—at 116th St and Riverside Drive. West End Avenue, a grand residential boulevard lined with pre-war Beaux-Arts apartment buildings and townhouses dating from the late-19th and early 20th centuries, is closed to commercial traffic. Columbus Avenue north of 87th Street was the spine for major post-World War II urban renewal. Broadway is lined with such architecturally notable apartment buildings as The Ansonia, The Apthorp, The Belnord, the Astor Court Building, and The Cornwall, which features an Art nouveau cornice.
American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is based in the Upper West Side.
The Upper West Side in Music / songs:
* "Classical Rap" – This parody by Peter Schickele, on his album P. D. Q. Bach: Oedipus Tex & Other Choral Calamities, describes the travails of living on the Upper West Side, as a Yuppie chants hip-hop lyrics to a classical instrumental background.
* Tom's Diner – A song by Suzanne Vega focusing on a woman on a rainy morning at Tom's Restaurant at 112th and Broadway.
* "Lazy Sunday" – A parody rap on the late-night sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (December 2005), performed by Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell about their day going to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and getting cupcakes (at Magnolia Bakery, the original of which is in Greenwich Village but there is also one at Columbus Ave at 69th St.). The song's lyrics mention that they see the movie at a theater on 68th Street and Broadway. While there is indeed an AMC movie theater on that corner, the video shows them at a ticket booth for an entirely different theater (on 84th and Broadway).
Famous comedian George Carlin grew up on 121st, and heavily drew upon his New York City roots on a number of his comedy albums, perhaps most memorably on Occupation: Foole, where he said he and his friends called their neighborhood "White Harlem... because it sounded tough. Its real name was Morningside Heights."
Electronic music pioneer Wendy Carlos made her classic 1968 album Switched-On Bach in her West End Avenue apartment, which she had converted into a makeshift home recording studio.
Lynn Oliver had his recording studio sandwiched next to the New Yorker Bookshop and Benny's on 89th and B'way. The likes of Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker, and Stan Getz could be seen ducking into his alley-like studio to practice and hangout. An arranger and drummer, Oliver's credits are found on more than a few classic cuts from the 60's.
The Upper West Side In film, television, and the arts:
The Upper West Side has been a setting for many movies and television shows because of its pre-War architecture, colorful community and rich cultural life. Ever since Edward R. Murrow went "Person-to-Person" live, the length of Central Park West in the 1950s, West Siders scarcely pause to gape at on-site trailers, and jump their skateboards over coaxial cables and it seems that one or another of the various Law & Order shows is taking up all the available parking spaces in the neighborhood. Woody Allen's film Hannah and Her Sisters captures that quintessential Upper West Side flavor of rambling high-ceilinged apartments bursting at the seams with books and other cultural artifacts.

History of The Upper West Side:
The evolution of Riverside South had a 40-year history, often extremely bitter, beginning in 1962 when the New York Central Railroad, in partnership with the Amalgamated Lithographers Union, proposed a mixed-use development with 12,000 apartments, Litho City, to be built on platforms over the tracks. The subsequent bankruptcy of the enlarged, but short-lived Penn Central Railroad brought other proposals and prospective developers. The one generating the most opposition was Donald Trump's "Television City" concept of 1985, which would have included a 152-story office tower and six 75-story residential buildings. In 1991, a coalition of prominent civic organizations proposed a purely residential development of about half that size, and then reached a deal with Trump. As of 2008, construction is well underway, but still to be resolved is the future of the West Side Highway viaduct over the park area.
The Bloomingdale district was the site for several long-established charitable institutions, unbroken parcels of land have provided suitably-scaled sites for Columbia University and the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, as well as for some vanished landmarks, such as the Schwab Mansion on Riverside Drive, the most ambitious free-standing private house ever built in Manhattan.
The name Bloomingdale is still used in reference to a part of the Upper West Side, essentially the location of old Bloomingdale Village, the area from about 96th Street up to 110th Street and from Riverside Park east to Amsterdam Ave. The triangular block bound by Broadway, West End Avenue, 106th Street and 107th Street, although generally known as Straus Park (named for Isidor Straus and his wife Ida), was officially designated Bloomingdale Square in 1907. The neighborhood also includes the Bloomingdale School of Music and Bloomingdale neighborhood branch of the New York Public Library. Adjacent to the Bloomingdale neighborhood is a more diverse and less affluent subsection of the Upper West Side called Manhattan Valley, focused on the downslope of Columbus Avenue and Manhattan Avenue from about 102nd Street up to 110th Street.
The community's ties to the events 9/11/ were evinced in the Upper West Side, Pulitzer Prize winner David Halberstam's paean to the men of Ladder Co 40/Engine Co 35, just a few blocks from his home, in Firehouse.
In the early part of The Upper West Side 1900s, the area south of 67th Street was heavily populated by African-Americans and supposedly gained its nickname of "San Juan Hill" in commemoration of African-American soldiers who were a major part of the assault on Cuba's San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War. By 1960, it was a rough neighborhood of tenement housing, the demolition of which was delayed to allow for exterior shots in the movie musical West Side Story. Thereafter, urban renewal brought the construction of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and Lincoln Towers apartments during 1962–1968.
The long high bluff above useful sandy coves along the North River was little used or traversed by the Lenape people. A combination of the stream valleys, such as that in which 96th Street runs, and wetlands to the northeast and east, may have protected a portion of the Upper West Side from the Lenape's controlled burns; lack of periodic ground fires results in a denser understory and more fire-intolerant trees, such as American Beech.
The Dutch applied the name Bloemendaal, Anglicized to "Bloomingdale" or "the Bloomingdale District", to the west side of Manhattan from about 23rd Street up to the Hollow Way (modern 125th Street), and by the 18th century it contained numerous farms and country residences of many of the city's well-off, a major parcel of which was the Apthorp Farm. The main artery of this area was the Bloomingdale Road, which began north of where Broadway and the Bowery Lane (now Fourth Avenue) join (at modern Union Square) and wended its way northward up to about modern 116th Street in Morningside Heights, where the road further north was known as the Kingsbridge Road. Within the confines of the modern-day Upper West Side, the road passed through areas known as Harsenville, Strycker's Bay, and Bloomingdale Village.
In the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the Upper West Side-to-be contained some of colonial New York's most ambitious houses, spaced along Bloomingdale Road. It became increasingly infilled with smaller, more suburban villas in the first half of the nineteenth century, and in the middle of the century, parts had become decidedly lower class.
Much of the riverfront of the Upper West Side was a shipping, transportation, and manufacturing corridor. The Hudson River Railroad line right-of-way was granted in the late 1830s to connect New York City to Albany, and soon ran along the riverbank. One major non-industrial development, the creation of the Central Park in the 1850s and 60s caused many squatters to move their shacks into the UWS. Parts of the neighborhood became a ragtag collection of squatters' housing, boarding houses, and rowdy taverns.
As this development occurred, the old name of Bloomingdale Road was being chopped away and the name Broadway was progressively being applied further northward to include what had been lower Bloomingdale Road. In 1868, the city began straightening and grading the section of the Bloomingdale Road from Harsenville north, and it became known as "The Boulevard". It retained that name until the end of the century, when the name Broadway finally supplanted it.
Development of the neighborhood lagged even while Central Park was being laid out in the 1860s and 70s, then was stymied by the Panic of 1873. Things turned around when the elevated train's rapid transit was extended up Ninth Avenue (renamed Columbus Avenue in 1890), and with Columbia University's relocation to Morningside Heights in the 1890s, using lands once held by the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. The Upper West Side experienced a building boom from 1885 to 1910, thanks in large part to the 1904 opening of the city's first subway line, the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line, with subway stations at 59th, 66th, 72nd, 79th, 86th, 91st, 96th, 103rd, 110th, 116th and Manhattan (now 125th) streets. This followed upon the opening of the now demolished IRT Ninth Avenue Line – the city's first elevated railway – which opened in the decade following the American Civil War.
Riverside Park was conceived in 1866 and formally approved by the state legislature through the efforts of city parks commissioner Andrew Haswell Green. The first segment of park was acquired through condemnation in 1872, and construction soon began following a design created by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed the adjacent, gracefully curving Riverside Drive. In 1937, under the administration of commissioner Robert Moses, 132 acres (0.53 km2) of land were added to the park, primarily by creating a promenade that covered the tracks of the Hudson River Railroad. Moses, working with landscape architect Gilmore D. Clarke also added playgrounds, and distinctive stonework and the 79th Street Boat Basin, but also cut pedestrians off from direct access to most of the riverfront by building the Henry Hudson Parkway by the river's edge. According to Robert Caro's book, The Power Broker on Moses, Riverside Park was designed with most of the amenities located in predominately white neighborhoods, with the neighborhoods closer to Harlem getting shorter shrift. Riverside Park, like Central Park, has undergone a revival in the last 30 years, largely through the efforts of The Riverside Park Fund, a citizen's group. Largely through their efforts and the support of the city, much of the park has been improved. The Hudson River Greenway along the river-edge of the park is a popular route for pedestrians and bicycle commuters, and offers spectacular vistas. A dramatic new improvement to the greenway is the $15.7 million "Riverwalk" extension to the park's greenway being constructed between 83rd and 91st Streets on a promenade in the river itself. Riverwalk was completed in May 2010.
Today the area between 85th Street and 100th Street is home to the largest community of young Modern Orthodox singles outside of Israel. However, the Upper West Side also features a substantial number of non-Orthodox Jews. The Upper West Side is a significant Jewish neighborhood, populated with both German Jews who moved in at the turn of the century, and Jewish refugees escaping Hitler's Europe in the 1930s.
From the post-WWII years until the HIV epidemic the neighborhood, especially below 86th Street, had a substantial gay population. As the neighborhood had deteriorated it was affordable to working class gay men, and those just arriving in NYC and looking for their first white collar jobs. Its ethnically mixed gay population, mostly Hispanic and white, with a mixture of income levels and occupations patronized the same gay bars in the neighborhood, making it markedly different from most gay enclaves elsewhere in the city. The influx of white gay men in the Fifties and Sixties is often credited with accelerating the gentrification of the Upper West Side, and by the mid and late '70s, the gay male population had become predominantly white.
Another component that brought about the eventual socio-cultural changes of the neighborhood were the recent college graduates in the late '70s and early '80s who moved in, drawn to the neighborhood's relatively large apartments and cheap housing.
In a subsequent phase of urban renewal, the rail yards which had formed the Upper West Side's southwest corner were replaced by the Riverside South residential project and a southward extension of Riverside Park.

Message from the Chief
It has been an honor and a privilege to get to know so many of the resdidents here in Middleburg Heights over the past 16 months.
Since my appointment as Chief of Police in September of 2017, there have been several changes within the police department.
With the approval of our Mayor and members of City Council, I purchased five new SUV cruisers which will provide us with a greater neighborhood presence. We also purchased state of the art radio equipment which will enhance our communication capabilities.
Within the last year, we have welcomed five new officers. Four male officers were hired through the lateral transfer process and one female officer from the Civil Service list. We are excited to have these dedicated officers join our team.
An integral part of our public safety mission requires committed and well-trained dispatchers. In 2018, we expanded this team with another dispatcher. Our dispatchers continue to work hard and are recognized as the best in the region.
Our two School Resource Officers are working well with the students and staff at Big Creek Elementary and Middleburg Heights Junior High. The Officers have been working in partnership with the teachers and administrators in an effort to enhance safety and build lasting relationships.
The duties of Animal Control are now a part of the Police Department. We welcome Animal Control Officer, Laura Takacs. Her duties will include education, adoption and the enforcement of the licensing laws.
This spring and summer we look forward to engaging with the members of our community as we add bicycle duties to our patrol schedule. You will also be able to find Middleburg Heights Police Department on social media as we share our mission, experiences and updates with followers.
We are proud to protect and serve the residents and visitors of Middleburg Heights and we look forward to engaging our community throughout the year.

Mom to a baby boy miscarried at 9 weeks in October 2009
and Bethany Sara born sleeping August 8th, 2010
Minneapolis, MN
I miscarried my first baby in October 2009 at 9 weeks. The baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks, but I didn't start having miscarriage symptoms until 9 weeks. I had to have a D & C procedure to have the baby removed. It turned out to be a baby boy who had a chromosomal abnormality called Trisomy 15.
We started trying to get pregnant again about 6 months later in April 2010 and were successful right away. Our baby was due on January 3rd, 2011. The pregnancy was going well. I had a couple of ultrasounds early, due to my first pregnancy loss. The baby's heartbeat was nice and strong each and every time. She was growing nicely.
Then at 18 weeks I started having some cramping pains. I went into the emergency room where they sent me to the Maternal Fetal Assessment area. They determined that the baby was just fine and that I probably had some sort of UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). They suggested that I follow up with my doctor the following day, which I did. When I went to see my doctor, he determined that I did not have a UTI. He wanted to do another ultrasound to see if something else was going on. The ultrasound found 4 fibroid tumors, the biggest of which was 6 cm and about the size of a tennis ball. My doctor figured that my pains were coming from those fibroids and that I would have to be monitored regularly to make sure the baby was continuing to grow properly. No problem I thought.
But then, 4 days later, I started bleeding. I called the on-call doctor who thought it may be the fibroids bleeding. He recommended bed rest for the day to see if the bleeding would let up. He advised me to call with any changes in bleeding. About an hour later I passed a clot. I called the doctor again and at this point he wanted me to go back to the hospital to be checked. I had another ultrasound where they found that I was dilated. They believed I was in preterm labor and transferred me by ambulance to another hospital where a Perinatologist was on duty. Once I arrived, I was examined and the doctors determined that I was dilated to about 5 cm. They wanted to attempt a cerclage, which is a procedure to sew the cervix closed. In order to be able to undergo the procedure, I would have to lay "upside down" in the trendelenburg position for 24 hours to see if we could take some weight off of the cervix and reverse the dilation.
The next morning I was only dilated to 2-3 cm, however I had started leaking amniotic fluid. This meant that there was a tear in the amniotic sac. About an hour later the bag of waters started to deliver and it was too late to do any more. I was going to have my baby that day. I was 19 weeks at this point and the baby was not developed enough to live outside of the womb. They rushed me to labor and delivery, where I was induced. I gave birth to a girl, Bethany Sara, who was born "sleeping" at 5pm that day.
She was 8 ounces and 9 inches long. She was just beautiful and perfect. It's hard to believe that your baby pretty much looks perfect only halfway through the pregnancy. She even had a little mole on her upper lip. She had perfect fingers and toes and the cutest little fingernails and toenails to go along with them. She also had eyebrows already. It was just amazing to hold our little angel. We kept her with us for about 5 hours and then let her go.
The doctors believe that I have an incompetent cervix which caused the preterm labor. The fibroid tumors could have also played a part. For future pregnancies it is recommended that I have a cervical cerclage done between 11-13 weeks. We hope that this procedure will do the trick next time. The part that I think hurts me the most over losing Bethany is that she was a healthy baby who was thriving in my belly. Up until my induction, her heartbeat was very strong. My body was the problem.
I keep trying to look to the future and have hope that we can avoid this problem next time. After seeing our beautiful baby girl, we will definitely try again. Even though she was born sleeping, we had developed so much love for her - more than we imagined was possible! We hope to share that love with another child. My husband and I are doing well, but we sure do miss our little baby girl.

I haven't been active for long, but I have noticed something and would like some opinions.
The main thing I have been helping with so far has been adding info about character levels. However, I usually only add one or two at a time. Do you guys think it's better/easier to edit multiple levels at a time, or is adding just one level still as helpful as multiple?
I suppose it's a matter of preference and ability, but I don't like making it look like pages are getting "spammed" or anything.

Hepatitis C
AMSTERDAM — The benefits of both double and triple direct-acting antiviral therapy combinations depend on myriad patient and disease factors, according to findings presented at the International Liver Congress.
Jean-Michel Pawlotsky, MD, PhD
, professor at the University of Paris-Est and director of the French National Reference Centre for Viral Hepatitis B, C and Delta, raised the question of whether three is, in fact, better than two, or whether they are more or less equal.
"There are a number of factors," he said. "The potency of the individual drugs is important. Lack of resistance is important. Ribavirin increases the likelihood of curing infection during therapy."
Regarding potency, Pawlotsky offered a realistic portrait of where the pipeline stands at the moment. "The potency of current and future HCV direct-acting antiviral therapies, and their potential for additive or synergistic effects, have been maximized already," he said.
The main factor that muddies the picture is the impact of sensitive or resistant viral kinetics. "The same drug combination will have different effects on sensitive and resistant populations," Pawlotsky said.
Doublet therapies
NS5A inhibitors comprise the backbone of the current armamentarium, according to Pawlotsky. "This is a completely original drug class for HCV," he said.
Pawlotsky ran down a laundry list of agents in the pipeline, including NS5A inhibitors odalasvir (Achillion), pibrentasvir (AbbVie), and ruzasvir (Merck), and NS5B inhibitors AL-335 (Achillion), pibrentasvir (AbbVie) and uprifosbuvir (Merck). Although trials are currently underway, he suggested that ruzasvir has improved on previous compounds. "This drug has a virtually no resistance in vitro," he said, noting that the resistance barrier was lower than Daklinza (daclatasvir, Bristol-Myers Squibb) or ledipasvir (Gilead). "You can see we're making progress."
Pawlotsky also reviewed findings and offered commentary on some of these new therapies as they function in double or triple combinations. "In one scenario, a doublet is optimal, with two drugs being enough to achieve 100% SVR," he said. "In the other scenario, the addition of another drug, either another DAA with cross-resistance, or ribavirin, is optimal."
The newest doublet is glecaprevir and pibrentasvir (AbbVie). "Pibrentasvir has a resistance profile that is much improved compared with previous therapies," Pawlotsky said. "Theoretically, this combination should be effective. So far, data have shown us this, with high rates in genotypes 1 through 6 with or without cirrhosis."
He noted that this combination can't be used in decompensated cirrhotics, and that it remains to be determined if this can be used with SOF as a re-treatment regimen.
Triplet regimens
For triple regimens, Viekira Pak (ombitasvir/paritaprevir plus dasabuvir, AbbVie) has shown particular efficacy in genotype 1a, according to Pawlotsky. He added that Harvoni (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir, Gilead) is efficacious in genotype 1b, but that the efficacy drops with certain resistance variants. "You have to add ribavirin to get the SVR back to original levels," he said.
Regarding Zepatier (grazoprevir/elbasvir, Merck), the effect can vary depending on the patient's baseline viral load, according to Pawlotsky. "With a baseline load less than 800,000 IU/ml, there is no impact of RAS," he said. "More than 800,000 IU/ml, SVR goes down with NS5A RAS."
He added that 12 weeks of this doublet may be insufficient. "Adding ribavirin and slightly prolonging the duration of therapy will increase SVR rates," he said.
Pawlotsky suggested that the combination of Epclusa (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, SOF/VEL; Gilead) and the triple therapy of SOF/VEL/voxilaprevir present a complex picture. "The doublet is good regardless of NS5A RAS at baseline," he said. "The problem here is genotype 3, which is associated with a slightly lower SVR rate. The addition of a third drug, either ribavirin or voxilaprevir, is recommended."
It is noteworthy that voxilaprevir is not suggested for decompensated cirrhotics, he added.
In general terms, a third drug is required for patients with genotype 3 disease, those with decompensated cirrhotics and those with previous DAA exposure. "Triplets are not necessarily better than doublets or vice versa," Pawlotsky said. – by Rob Volansky

Top Safety Accreditation Renewal for Active Access/in Company News, General Information /by Louise Carrigan
Active Access is delighted to announce that our accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace has been renewed.
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. Thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies use it.
Our application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor accreditation will enhance our ability to win new contracts, and our commitment to safety will be viewed positively by our insurers when our liability policy is up for renewal.
Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeContractor said: "Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place. More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Active Access has done. The firm's high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeContractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process."

Help/guidance on a transactional data challenge - Open/Close Bar ChartAndreas Gamponia Mar 7, 2016 1:55 PM
So I am a Tableau newbie trying to come up with what I had thought was a simple bar chart and in having read some of the community answers to similar sounding problems, I partially understand the nature of my problem but have not figured out how I can solve the challenge. In a word, I am LOST…
Allow me to explain and request some guidance from the many talented Tableau users in the community.
I use Tableau on an isolated network, so I created a dummy Excel data spreadsheet so I can try to solve my problem.
I have some simple help desk ticketing data that has a unique ticket number, a ticket open date, and a ticket close date. I have additional data points like last access date, but don't believe I need those.
I am looking to create a simple bar chart where I can show number of tickets opened in a month, and right next to that (in the same chart) a bar for the number of tickets closed that month. That is the primary task. If I can manage, Id also like to show a trend line of tickets open per month. I know that were closing less than we open tickets, so I know we have a net gain of tickets, hence a trend line would be great to show that relationship.
I know from reading the posts here that I have a lookup versus transactional data challenge, but despite reading several posts, I have not understood how to solve the problem. I created a Excel dummy data spreadsheet where I had the ticket number and open and close dates in a sheet. After reading the transactional data issue I created new sheets to separate the open date and close date to the tickets and am trying to understand how that helps me develop the desired bar chart?
I have attached a excel file with simulated dummy data and a dot-twbx file. One of the most relevant explanations I had found by Yuriy Fal mentions using data blending into a scaffold data source, and although I continue to read any examples I can find, I'm not clear how to accomplish the data blending on the basis of the data I have.
Any help so I can understand how to solve my problem would be highly appreciated.
Im also attaching a drawn example of what I am trying to accomplish.
Thank you,

After the first wave of baptism of Pokomos which happened in 1894, there was a second baptism which occurred in 1896 and among who were baptized included:
- Chrisstian Dua
- Filipo Kagala
- Natanael Didila
- Mungatana Ndumari
- Gwiyo
- Jilo Kutii
This was a major milestone and a platform to expand the gospel to the interior of Pokomo lands.
In 1898, the Neukirchen mission were given 30 acres of land by the government for a lease of 99 years. With this huge chunk of land at there disposal, the Neukirchen started building their house for residence. By 1899 they moved from the river bank residence to Milimani in Ngao.
The missionaries continued spreading their gospel and in the period of 1904-1906, the famous Ngao Methodist church was constructed.
In 1914 during the first World War, all Germans missionaries were captured and transported to India. The Neukirchen missionaries left the Pokomo land without notice. As a result, the Neukirchen churches were left unattended. The locals had to take over and run the churches. They included;
- Simon Ubo (Ngao)
- Reuben Dala
- Benjamin Dhumari (Mwanadhamba)
- Mishael Bahari (Garsen)
- Emmanuel Joseph (Kulesa)
- Abae Galana (Wenje)
They continued managing the churches until 1926, when the Neukirchen missionaries returned. Among the missionaries included, August Kraft, Mr and Mrs Karl Baker, Henrinch May among others.
During the period of 1926 to 1939, a lot had happened including the building of Ngao and Hola hospitals, more conversions which extended to Giriama, teachers were sent to Jeanes School in Kabete to expand their knowledge among others.
When the World War 2 started, all the strategies the missionaries had in planned, including building a secondary school was stopped. All missionaries left the land except Mr and Mrs Wilhelm May who later were captured in Wenje as war slaves.
During the war period, churches and schools were managed by locals. There was hope that one day the Neukerchen missions would once more return.
Later the Christians then joined Church Mission Society (CMS). This made Rev. Leonard Beacher and Elizabeth Beacher come to preach gospel and songs in 1941.
In 1942, the Methodists complained to the government that them and Neukirchen were spreading gospel in the region so they requested to be given the role left by Neukirchen to spread the gospel.
This made the period of 1943-1944 see people flocking to Methodist Missionary Society (MMS) to seek knowledge. Among members who benefited from this included; Asser Sylvano, Yona Nkanu, Timona Marko, Yohana Stefano, Jato Amos, Lisania Onesmus, Bampae Samaitwa, Yuda, Daniel Filipo, and Jackson Galana.
In 1945 there was a conference and all churches met at Ngao. The main agenda was to decide which mission was to govern the Pokomo churches. After a long discussion, churches in Ngatana, Kulesa, Marembo and all churches in upper regions chose to follow the Methodists while the Buus, Kalindi and people from Lamu chose to stay with Neukirchen.
The final decision was decided that the missionaries were free to visit all churches in all regions if they wish to.
In 1947, a conference held in London decided that the Neukirchen will never be allowed back in Pokomo and all churches will be under the Methodist church.
When news reached Ngao, they were furious. In 1948, Rev. George Martlew of Methodist wanted to visit the church in Ngao but was chased away by Rev. Simeon Ubo. His defence was that the Methodist refused the Neukirchen to visit Pokomo land, so they also will not allow them to come to Ngao unless it was a matter concerning education.
The incidence had repercussion as the reverent was also the manager of Methodist Mission Society (MMS). The following happened;
- All Buu schools were closed
- All donations from the government stopped
- All teachers were suspended from duty
The teachers did not give up and they continued with their work under Young Buu Association (YBA). Students did their exams and performed well. At the same time there was a complaint lodged to the government about the issue. It did not take time as the schools were later opened, donations from government resumed and teachers were recalled back to duty.
In 1950, a meeting was held at Ngao chaired by Lamu DC with all MMS and all churches in the land. They all agreed that; Methodist to work in all churches and all church leaders to work with Methodist.
During the period of 1950-1966, the churches under Neukirchen Mission (NM) wanted at least the NM to visit them with no luck. They even went ahead and started 'Tana Independence Church' which was not successful.
In 1967 the churches under NM finally decided to join African Inland Mission(AIM) so that Neukirchen can get a chance to visit them through AIM.
In 1970, Lisania M. Buya as an Assistant Education Officer was in England for education. He was invited by Rev. Fritz Gissel in Neukirchen, German and the reverant complained about not been given chance to visit Tanariver as AIM is not giving them permission.
When he returned to England, he met a committee of Africa Inland Mission (AIM) Home Office in London and complained about the following;
- How Christians reached Tanariver through Neukirchen Mission
- Why Kenya is independent but still the key to Christianity is still in London
- Political rivalry between MMS (England) and NM (Germany)
Mr Buya threatened the Home Office that he was the weakest and lowest ranked person among the Pokomos. So, if the message reaches the Pokomos that they had stopped the NM because of political issues then any decision that the Pokomo would take England will be responsible for everything.
Later that year, to their surprise, the Neukirchen Mission were in Tanarive for the first time since the end of the second World War.

Between 50 and 70 million1 Americans will have their bedside lamps burning late tonight, reading to try and lull their minds into slumber. Or they will twist themselves and their bed sheets into knots of frustration, counting down the hours they have left to try and rest before having to drag themselves out of bed for another day spent in an exhausted, zombie-like twilight state. So goes the lifestyle of an insomniac.
I know first hand about this.
So it came as no surprise to me when I read that people were using antihistamines like Benadryl to induce drowsiness. Logically, it makes sense. If the allergy medicine works, why not? It's safe, it's simple, and best – it's an over-the-counter quick fix – no doctors involved. Boom. Problem solved.
Except… Not.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and truly, in this article I'm not (when you read further you'll see why). But in the case of antihistamines vs. insomniacs everywhere, the original quick fix and "no long-term side effects" verdict is looking shakier and more complex by the moment.
Diphenhydramines2 and doxylamine succinate3 are both antihistamines found in such over the counter drugs as Benadryl, Unisom Sleep Tabs, Sominex, Nytol, and Zzzquil. For short term relief from allergies, this works quite well, with the side effect of making you groggy. Thus, insomniacs everywhere jumped to self dose. But here's the rub: research states that the body adapts to these drugs rather quickly (meaning that it stops working or you need more and more to get the same effect). On the surface of it, many will say, "So what if I'm groggy the next day? I'll just have another cup of coffee."
Well, (sigh), there's more. Many of these over the counter meds are also typically anticholinergics – that is, they actively block neurotransmitters in the brain related to learning and memory4. And this is where it gets serious.
The Journal of the American Medical Association5 reports research that now strongly points to increased risk of dementia for those who use anticholinergics regularly and long term. Especially at risk are the elderly. The study does cite limitations due to the fact that the population studied was entirely geriatric – but in the journal author's own words, "Given the devastating consequences of dementia, informing older adults… would allow them to choose alternative products and collaborate with their health care professionals to minimize overall anticholinergic use."
So. It boils down to this twisted, no-win little irony: if you're under 65 years old and struggling to sleep at night, do you gamble your future short term with straight-up insomnia – as in, "I'm so exhausted right now, I don't care if I lose my job." – or do you gamble your future long term, as in "If I self-medicate now, will I wind up with dementia?"
Currently, alternatives6 to over the counter drugs include relaxation exercises, guided mediations, and cognitive behavioral therapies like sleep hygiene practices. There is talk therapy to uncover the darker parts of the psyche regarding beliefs about sleep. There is valerian, and the cycle-regulating melatonin. And there are pharmaceutical drugs, which most certainly have unwanted and serious side effects – including dementia – not to mention that they can be addictive. It's why insomniacs opt for antihistamines in the first place.
But there is hope.
Remember when I said that I used to suffer from insomnia too? Well, I don't any more, and I'd like to share with you what worked for me.
It didn't involve drugs – either over the counter or prescription – and it didn't involve any kind of tactics or practices. Further, it had only positive side effects, like improved health and a calmer mind. And I slept. I slept deeply, and woke up refreshed, rejuvenated, and full of wonder because frankly, I'd forgotten what real sleep felt like. So what did I do to finally get past my insomnia?
I began to participate in The Trivedi Effect®.
The Trivedi Effect® is potent Life Force Energy that is harnessed and transmitted directly to you to reconnect you more deeply with the foundational principles and guiding Intelligence of Nature. Think of how you slept as a little child. No one taught you how to do that – it was simply your nature to sleep deeply and well in order to replenish yourself. Imagine returning to that simple ease, that profound and natural realignment with your true inner blueprint.
It reminds me of the story of the prodigal child, out wandering, away from home for many years. The child may even think that those at home have forgotten him or her, that there is no choice and no chance to return and find solace or welcome.
And yet, once returned, there is a feast, a celebration!
In the same way, we have been wandering out and away from our original natural blueprint, away from our true Source (by whatever name or tradition). When we begin to realign with the Author of all Nature and Creation, typically one of the first things to happen is that we are nurtured and nourished through deep, replenishing sleep. It is one of the first key steps towards restoring and maintaining good health. And it feels miraculous.
If you're needing to check the medicine cabinet to make sure you have over the counter sleep aids on hand, perhaps now is a good time to reach out – maybe beyond the comfort zone of your familiar beliefs – and try something new. Life Force Energy Transmissions may very well be the welcoming, homecoming relief that you have been seeking, that you might finally lie down and rest – really rest – through deep sleep.
