text:
Instead of beginning his solo, in opposition to the overbearing silence and the voice in his head, he plays a single note, D, with his pinkie. He holds the key and the foot pedal down, listening to the singular sound, bold and three-dimensional at first, then drifting, dispersing, fragile, decaying. He inhales. The smell of coffee lingers. He listens. The note is gone.
Every note played is a life and death.
– From Lisa Genova's Every Note Played
The convenient illusion
The illusion that we don't need other people sometimes feels like the fundamental premise of adult life in America. The further away from childhood we get, the more taboo it feels to ask for help, especially with basic life management. Independence is a badge of honor; dependence signals failure. If worse comes to worst, we can pay someone to "care" for us as part of their job – someone who needs us to sustain their livelihood, so we can control the terms of the "care." In the world where we're not supposed to need anyone, our occupations are necessarily our top priority.
But that fantasy shatters, inevitably and easily, as soon as we or someone we love gets sick. Some of us won't realize until then, when it's too late, that no part of our lives is set up either to give real care or to receive it. Careers won't allow it. Or we live too far away. Or maybe we're just not connected closely enough to even a single other person.
Every Note Played is neuroscientist and author Lisa Genova's latest illustration of how much we mortals fundamentally need each other. As the story begins, Richard Evans has a satisfying life as a world-class pianist. Recently divorced, he travels the world playing concerts and enjoying gourmet food and wine. He and his ex-wife, Karina, have a daughter now in college, though he spent too much of her childhood away on tour to be close with her now. Still, Richard feels fulfilled by his passion for piano and by new lovers. But amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease) suddenly begins to dismantle his life with terrifying efficiency, leaving him with nothing but his relationships – such as they are.
The art of caring
As a pianist myself trying to revitalize my craft after some years of neglect, I expected to relate as a musician to Richard (and Karina, also a talented pianist). The book's premise immediately brought to mind my grandmother, a piano prodigy and renowned teacher. At 89, she's been reconnecting with her instrument after losing her husband earlier this year. I wanted to know more about how an artist reconciles the drive for transcendent expression with the limits of the human body.
But in short order, Richard's story dispensed with that question as almost frivolous. ALS is a degenerative disease that gradually destroys the brain's ability to control muscles. The first loss Richard experiences is the power to move his dominant hand, which immediately devastates not only his source of income but his life's passion. Next to go is his other hand. And just like that, his relationship with the piano – his true love – is over.
Genova doesn't fully elide this loss. We get to know Richard intimately for the first time as he learns a Ravel concerto written for the left hand only, practicing it to perfection as he has always done and fantasizing about performing it in concert despite his illness. But he knows the truth: He'll soon lose not only his left hand but also his ability to talk and walk.
It's initially surprising when Genova doesn't spend more time on Richard's grief. But the realities of ALS overwhelm, making basic activities – like taking a walk and relieving oneself – difficult or impossible to achieve without help. One of the most memorable scenes in the book has Richard stranded on the front stoop of his apartment building after a short walk, which drained him after just a couple of blocks. He has a key in his pocket, but he can't retrieve it without the use of his hands. The neighbor he'd counted on to let him in isn't answering her phone. He asks a passerby for help, but she doesn't entertain a strange man's request to put her hand in his pocket. Meanwhile, the laxatives he's been taking for several days are finally kicking in. In a panic, he mistakenly voice-dials his estranged wife. She drives over immediately, but still too late.
The episode raises an uncomfortable question: What is love if not a willingness to clean five days' worth of shit off of another adult's private parts, for no personal reward? More importantly: Do you know someone who would do that for you?
Genova returns again and again to the true meaning of care as Richard's ALS progresses. Not long after his illness has set in, Richard attends an appointment with his nurse practitioner, a stoic woman who's treated many ALS patients. She assesses his current functioning and matter-of-factly foretells the grim future he should expect to meet in a matter of weeks. Richard is alone at the appointment; his last girlfriend has left him to the professionals. When the nurse asks if he needs anything else before the appointment ends, Richard lets go of his pride: "I need a hug." She doesn't hesitate to wrap him in her arms. Richard realizes that this, more than the medical advice, is what care is.
As the story winds down and Richard faces death, he signals who he would like at his side if this is the end. Yes to the home health aide who, through it all, treated him like a person with feelings that mattered. No to his distant brothers. No to his long-time music agent, who was bound to Richard primarily by his now-moot talent as a pianist.
Some critics have observed that Genova's narration in Every Note Played, and by extension the novel's characters, can seem a bit cliched. Richard, scorned by his own father, is an egotist who neglects his wife and child for his career; ALS interrupts his reinvention as a middle-aged playboy. Karina, who wanted to be anything other than the housewife her mother was, abandoned her own ambitions in order to raise their daughter; she struggles to find purpose after her husband and daughter both move on.
These stories have been told many times before. But it's an enduring truth that our closest human relationships are by turns the most meaningful aspects of our lives, and also sometimes the most challenging, for utterly banal reasons. Our family relationships create messes in our lives that may never get cleaned up; stories help us learn to live with what we can't change. Like NBC's This Is Us, Every Note Played is ostensibly about extraordinary circumstances but is also about the unrelenting drama that follows when people follow the undeniably ordinary path of falling in love and starting a family.
I was also struck by the sense of clarity that early mortality imposed in Genova's telling, and by how a condition like ALS has a way of boiling human experience down to the essentials – even for famous artists dying slow, painful deaths. Let anger go. Ask for forgiveness. Love is all you need. Your kids matter most of all. These truths take decades to emerge for Richard and Karina, who spent 20 years in what many will see as a familiar struggle over who gets to be right. One of the book's most poignant moments is Karina's acknowledgment that, for their little family, the cost of that struggle "has been astronomical."
Genova skillfully elicits empathy for Richard, an unlikable character who you suspect wouldn't have found his way to life's essentials if ALS hadn't mercilessly dragged him there. As much as he tried to escape into piano, Richard knows he'll never be free of the pain of being rejected by his own father:
Part of him doesn't want his father to know. Keeping his diagnosis from his father fills Richard with an exhilarating sense of winning. He was born into a father-son game he never wanted to play, the rules still cruel and incomprehensible to him, but damn it, he's going to win. He's living with a disease that shaves off another layer of control every single day. Possessing control of whether his father knows or not puts a sword in Richard's hand, a power that's too seductive to resist. He's going to prove, in an ultimate and final test, that he doesn't want or need his father for anything and wouldn't turn to him for help or love even in the most dire circumstances. He won't give his father the satisfaction of knowing he'll soon be rid of the son he never wanted.
But when Richard's bombastic offense tires of wielding its sword and takes a seat, his defense is clearly visible, cowering in the corner. More than anything, he's afraid of his father's indifference. He wonders if his father already knows, if word of mouth has spread north to cow country, and Walt Evans is the one doing the snubbing.
Or his father doesn't know and wouldn't respond if he did.
Your kids matter most of all. It's not lost on Richard that he was a bad father himself. But he hadn't seen up close how parents turn out to need care themselves in the end. And in any case, he'd thought he had more time to make things right.
To write Every Note Played, Genova spent time getting to know ALS patients and their families. Among the multitude of tragedies in ALS is the terminal prognosis; many people die within two or three years of diagnosis. The most heart-wrenching section of Genova's book turns out to be her acknowledgments: Eulogies to remarkable people whose families have lost them to the disease far too early.
Who's going to watch you die
Some people don't need mortality to remind them of the essentials. Earlier this year, my husband's grandpa Pete passed away. Pete's family immigrated to the U.S. from Sicily; he was born in Cleveland. Apart from his time in the Navy, he lived there all his life, surrounded by extended family and childhood friends. Pete loved to tease and laughed hardest when you dished it back at him. He always seemed happy to have your company. No matter what you looked like, where you were from, or what you did for work or play, he would try to connect with you and usually succeed. There was nothing more important to him than family, and he defined the concept loosely.
Grandpa Pete deserved a kinder decline than he got. Over several years, it got harder for him to breathe and to walk. He made fewer and fewer new memories. His three daughters – all with full-time careers – took turns caring for him, two weeks at a time. He'd recognize he was in their houses, but he couldn't remember how long he'd been there. Or that he'd just eaten breakfast, just watched this same TV show. Or that he'd gotten that bad bruise from his fall yesterday, or that he falls a lot and that's why people panic when he tries to use the stairs without help like anyone else would.
In the end, Pete's daughters had to move him to an assisted-living facility so he could be monitored around the clock and get immediate medical attention when he needed it. It wasn't enough. Still not remembering his mobility limitations, he fell getting out of bed alone and was hospitalized for a week. That was all it took for his muscles to weaken so much that he could no longer use his arms and legs; he needed help just to scratch an itch.
It was no way to live, and yet Pete was still living. He needed care – not just medical care but human care. He didn't know why he was in this state or how long it had lasted. But he knew how he felt, he knew who his family was, and he knew whether they were there with him. So my mother-in-law would sit with her dad all day, for many days. She didn't know if he had hours left, or months. She just knew he needed her and she could be there, so she was there. She learned it from her parents.
I remember that now whenever my kids are being too loud, pestering each other, or interrupting my work. One day, possibly sooner than I imagine, when my body has stopped working and I'm completely dependent with nothing left to give, these little people might be the only ones who will still sit with me.
These stories have been told many times before. Let's all keep telling them.

Steward Yang accomplished a rarity in tennis, a "Golden Set" against Los Alto High's number one singles player. He won the set not allowing his opponent A SINGLE POINT! Not to be upstaged, two days later, Sophomore , Elijah Ang, accomplished a Golden set against West Covina! These matches left our team hungry for a tougher, more challenging match.
Wednesday, March 14, Valencia of Placentia provided just what the team was looking for. In an epic battle, both ranked teams slugged it out in one of the most exciting matches ever at Diamond Bar. The Brahmas took the early lead, 4-2. Valencia overcame the deficit and took the lead going into the last round, 7-5. During the last round, senior Derek Fu had to battle against leg cramps and had to have help just to stand up on the court so that his partner, Naoki Hisamoto, could serve out the last point of their set. Diamond Bar took the last round, 4-2, to tie up the set scores, 9-9. After all games were counted, your gutty little Brahmas had 76 games to Valencia's 75!

When it comes to pawn shops, they are known for buying and dealing with all sorts of merchandise.
That's almost a pawn shop's defining characteristic in many cases.
They have to be experts in everything, or at least know enough about the items to be able to buy and resell them easily.
Of all of the things that come into pawn shops, cell phones are pretty common.
Now, with this in mind, it's worth pointing out that not all pawn shops take cell phones, or electronics in general.
So obviously, in these cases, the pawn shop in question wouldn't take your cell phone at all, broken or 100% working.
Now then, what about the pawn shops that deal with electronics like cell phones regularly? Will these pawn shops buy your broken phone from you or even make you a loan on it?
Well, just like some pawn shops don't take electronics, some pawn shops will consider taking broken phones if the problem is pretty simple to fix.
You see, pawn shops are in an interesting business. They have to figure out how to make money out of nothing sometimes and in many cases, that means networking with other businesses in their area.
If the pawn shop you are working with does cell phone repair on site, then obviously they would love to buy your cell phone from you no matter what is wrong with it.
If however, the pawn shop in question just partners with a local cell phone repair shop, they will likely only buy cell phones where the problems are really obvious – like a cracked screen or no battery, etc.
How Much Do Pawn Shops Pay For Broken Phones
The next logical question that you will probably ask is how much pawn shops will pay for broken phones.
That answer is much harder to boil down into a simple number for you.
It's going to depend on a variety of factors such as:
- How much your cell phone is worth when it's 100% working.
- How much demand there is for that cell phone.
- If the ESN is "Clear" or not.
- How expensive it is for the pawn shop to repair what is wrong with your cell phone.
- If the pawn shop even knows for sure that they can fix your cell phone to begin with.
If a pawn shop can't easily determine these things upfront, you may find that they offer you very little for your cell phone unfortunately.
The reason being that they don't know what their final cost will be to get it working like new again, and further more, they don't know who they will be able to sell it to or for how much.
In these scenarios, pawn shop typically always play it safe and will pay very little for the items to minimize their risk.
But let's face facts here as well. If your cell phone is busted up and unusable, isn't some money better than none?
If on the other hand a pawn shop knows exactly what is wrong with the phone, know how much it will cost them to fix it, and feels that they will be pretty easily able to resell it after the repair, you may find that a pawn shop offers you a good amount of money for your phone.
This is particularly true in the case of things like iPhones and very new Android phones as there is still a lot of demand for these devices and the parts for them are easy to find in most cases.
But, to give you a range is really difficult.
It could be as low as $2 or $3 for a phone with no demand and unknown problems up to $200 or $300 for a newer iPhone is a simple problem that is easy to fix.
in short, how much a pawn shop offers you depends completely on the phone in question.
What If No Pawn Shops In Your Area Will Buy Broken Phones
If you run into a scenario where there are no pawn shops in your area that will buy your broken phone, not all hope is lost.
The first thing you should do is put an ad on craigslist.org for it. Try to describe whatever is wrong with your phone as well as possible as people will want to know what the issues are before the drive to meet you and look at it.
Additionally, there are cell phone repair services that advertise on craigslist normally.
Once you've posted your ad, you can contact them and show them your ad to see if they would be willing to buy your phone.
You may find that in some cases, they can help you get some money out of that busted up phone you've had laying around.
Failing all of that, you can put it on eBay, but don't expect to get very much for it at all unless you have all of the information at hand.
- What is exactly wrong with it?
- Is the ESN totally clear and able to be activated?
- What carriers does it work with?
- Etc.
Either way though, hopefully now you have a better idea of what you can do to try to get rid of your broken cell phone and end up with a little extra money in your pocket.

by Great Clean, Inc. | Aug 11, 2016
One of the biggest causes of productivity loss in an office are germs that cause employees to get sick. A healthy office is a productive office. How often does your office environment get cleaned? Do you have your own staff do the cleaning or do you utilize a commercial cleaning service?
According to a study by Kimberly-Clark Professional, who used a device that measures levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on about 5,000 surfaces in office buildings with about 3,000 employees, surfaces measuring over 100 needs a scrub down while measurements over 300 are considered high risk for spreading illness. Here are some of the worst offenders that may make you cringe and hire a commercial cleaning service:
- Break room sink faucet handles (300+ ATP count)
- Microwave door handles (300+ ATP count)
- Computer keyboards (300+ ATP count)
- Refrigerator handles (300+ ATP count)
- Water fountain buttons (300+ ATP count)
- Vending machine buttons (300+ ATP count)
- Computer mice (100+ ATP count)
- Desk phones (100+ ATP count)
- Coffee pots and dispensers (100+ ATP count)
While it is impossible to completely eliminate germs, washing hands, wiping and sanitizing surfaces can help reduce the chances of catching cold, flu and stomach viruses by as much as 80%.
What is increased productivity worth to your company? Does the cost of hiring a professional cleaning service make financial sense compared to the amount of sick pay and loss of productivity costs?
Great Clean, Inc. has been providing commercial cleaning services for over 20 years in Orange County, Rockland County and Bergen County. Let us focus on what we do best while your company focuses on what it does best.

One arch cause more confusion than a bomb
May 12, 2017 , http://www.kaieteurnewsonline....nfusion-than-a-bomb/
Old people got a saying—Carrion Crow does wait till rain fall to build house. All it mean is that some people does sit down and don't know that they want something until dire straits hit dem. That is wha happen de other day and cause all manner of confusion.
And when all is said and done is de Hammer Man cause it. Years ago dem had an arch outside the Ruimveldt Police Station. De Hammer Man decide to widen de road suh he tek down de arch. When de road done and de people looking for de arch dem couldn't find it. De Hammer Man seh it deh in he office compound, but still de people couldn't find it.
Dem boys seh that is how Banks come to put up an arch by Eccles to mark the gateway to Georgetown. Banks do it fuh de 50th anniversary and was a big ceremony.
Now up comes Ansa McAl and dem building another arch to signal de start of de city at the east. Was a good idea till de traffic confusion start, Vehicles couldn't go east or west. Of course none could go north because that is de seawall.
Children who was coming to town to write dem exams reach late. Dem boys wonder if some of dem miss de exam altogether.
Is a wonder that a lady wasn't coming to de city to get a baby. She woulda mek it in de car because is hours she woulda been stall pun de road.
People cuss Soulja Bai, because when anything go wrong is Soulja Bai cause it. Nuff people couldn't reach dem wuk. Dem boys seh is a good thing wasn't pay day, because dem woulda have a riot.
People call Soulja Bai. Soulja Bai call Patterson, and Patterson call de one who responsible fuh roads. That one, Vaughn, call de Traffic Chief, who look fuh somebody to call, and didn't see nobody.
That is how dem stop de wuk pun de arch and let de traffic flow. Dem decide den gun do de wuk in de night, but that is when people going home. That is how dem boys know people sleep pun de road last night.
Talk half and look out fuh more confusion today.

Activists are upset that Pastor Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in Orange County is hosting Rwandan President Paul Kagame at Sunday's service in remembrance of the 1994 genocide in the east African country, blaming the country's leader for brutally suppressing his opponents "to save his dictatorship."
Warren invited Kagame to speak "as we join our Rwandan brothers and sisters in remembering the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and thank God together for the renewal the country has experienced over the last 25 years," according to an announcement of the event. The president was scheduled to speak at morning services and then a reception afterward.
Warren, bestselling author of "The Purpose Driven Life" who has hosted presidents at his Christian megachurch in Lake Forest, was scheduled to interview Kagame on stage.
"Why would he give attention to someone who has closed thousands of churches and who has consistently denied human rights to his own people?" questioned Aristide Rwigara, the younger brother of Diane Rwigara, who ran against Kagame for president and whom he imprisoned along with her mother and sister after he came to power, according to her family.
"This cannot go unchallenged. Warren is a global figure, and if you want to wear the mantle of spiritual leadership, why would you do this? I used to think he was the real deal, and then I found out that he backed the government — a government that stifles all manner of opposition, that has no humanity," said Rwigara, who lives in Los Angeles where he works as a translator.
A spokesperson for the church could not be reached for comment.
Kagame has ruled Rwanda since 2000. He led the Rwandan Patriotic Front, a rebel force that took control of the capital, Kigali, during the 1994 genocide and ended the massacre in which 800,000 people were killed by dominant Hutu forces over a three-month period.

Rectors' Scholarship Contest Begins – Apply Now!
In 2017 rectors of University of Tartu, University of Latvia and Vilnius University (VU) announced a joint scholarship contest for promoting the learning and teaching of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian languages and culture. Last year Milda Dailidėnaitė, alumna of VU Faculty of Philology currently studying at University of Tartu, won the 2000 euro scholarship.
This year the University of Latvia will host the event. The contest is open for all full-time students of any curricula (including foreign students) at any of the three universities. The student enrolling in the contest should know one of the languages at C1 level and the remaining two at least at A2 level.
Candidates will be evaluated in three rounds: local written round, local oral round, and the final round in Latvia, where the three best students selected by local juries from each university will compete.
Students who want to participate in the contest must submit two essays by the 21st of December.
One C1 level discursive essay on one of the following topics:
- Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian Language and Languages in Europe
- Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian Culture and History in the European Context
Criteria for formatting and length: font size 12; spacing 1,5; length approx. 4 A4 pages.
One A2 level text on one of the following topics:
- My Journey to the Estonian/Latvian/Lithuanian language
- Possibilities of Application of the Learned Language in the Future
Criteria for formatting and length: font size 12; spacing 1,5; length up to 1 A4 page.
The texts should be sent to Agnė Navickaitė-Klišauskienė at with the headline "Baltic countries Rector's scholarship".
If the participant knows two languages on the same or similar level, they can choose to write either on the same or different topics. For example, if the participant knows Lithuanian on the level C1 and chooses the topic "Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian Language and Languages in Europe" for writing in Lithuanian and they are not fluent in Latvian and Estonian, they need to choose one or two topics from the second category. Therefore, they can either write on "Possibilities of Application of the Learned Language in the Future" in both Latvian and Estonian, or write a different essay for the two topics available. Altogether, every participant must submit three written texts: 1 in Estonian, 1 in Latvian and 1 in Lithuanian.

Estuary House
This design is based on a simple form that relates directly to the landscape it stands in. It is influenced the work of Architects such as Shigeru Ban and Glenn Murcutt.
The design was developed from a sketch, from which a plan emerged with a great economy of scale, with no space wasted in circulation. It could be a holiday home by the sea or on a mountain top, or indeed a family home.
The site that it was designed for overlooks the Exe estuary, taking advantage of the sloping topography to frame views of this unique wildlife habitat. The house could be clad in natural materials that would mellow and blend in to the landscape, and the crispness and efficiency of the plan is timeless.
The bold form of house is conceived through a modular design, which would allow for the building fabric to be constructed off-site in a controlled environment, simplifying the on-site construction, reducing costs and carbon emissions in construction.

The Construction industry is full of growth and various divisions. Thousands of laborers in the workforce create this environment, and it is imperative to remain proactive to safety. Over the years, OSHA citations have recorded across different areas in the field. Be cautious of the most common standards that receive violation throughout the industry.
Unfortunately, these are common reasons for fatal accidents in the industry. Prevention is better than the cure, so be sure to take necessary precautions to ensure safety remains a priority. Many times, OSHA citations can be avoided if proper education and processes are in place. Continue to remain proactive to safety to avoid these citations.
The lives of men and women depend on the safety culture of each company. Avoid shortcuts and implement best practices because lives are worth the extra mile. OSHA violations will decrease over time, if education and resources increase. Refuse to contribute growth to these statistics. There is nothing more valuable than safety!

Is there bibical scripture stating that when two people have sexual intercourse together, they encounter a part of other person spirit?

No. They become one flesh.
-- Kim Pilkington (email@example.com), January 04, 2003.
It is clearly stated in the bible that when two people have sex that at that time they are actually married. And they are expected to stay together for life. Adultery- any sex outside of marriage. Remember that includes before or after

Transforming Choice shortlisted for Expert Citizens Award
We are delighted that Carol Hamlett and her team at Transforming Choice have been awarded 'Runner Up' in Expert Citizens' Leading Others Award.
It's been a busy week for Carol, Managing Director of Transforming Choice and her team, who have been named 'Runners Up' in the Expert Citizens Insight Award 2018 for 'Leading Others'. The award recognises those who '…are leading others in good practice for people with multiple needs; who are setting a benchmark for colleagues to follow and generously passing on the skills and experience that they have developed.'
The award ceremony took place in Stoke, and was attended by Carol, Operational Manager Donna, and two Peer Mentors, Nikki and Peter. There were originally sixty nominees for the award, highlighting what a fantastic achievement being shortlisted is for Carol and the team.
Carol explained:
"It means a lot to receive an award from an organisation that was started and is run by people who have experienced addiction, homelessness and mental ill health because those who have lived experience of complex needs can recognise a good service when they see one."
Transforming Choice provides a residential detox and rehabilitation service in South Liverpool, designed for people who have become alcohol dependent.
Of the 15 staff members at Transforming Choice, 12 have either been through the 12-week programme themselves or have other lived experience of alcohol and drug dependency, homelessness and mental ill health. This means that they understand the difficulties service-users face and are better equipped to 'accompany them along the road to recovery' and support them in creating their own care plans.
On Monday, the service welcomed a new group of fourteen people. Although the first week can be especially challenging, it marks the start of a potential life-changing 12 weeks for the residents. The programme encourages residents to regain control of their lives and work towards independence. The team also support the residents to find secure accommodation, meaning they can avoid returning to the cycle of temporary accommodation.
Capacity continues to support the growth of Transforming Choice and are delighted to see the organisation's hard work recognised by Expert Citizens CIC.

It was a safe and enjoyable experience - Shellie did a great job of explaining the process, relaxing me during the session, and helping me experience the benefits. When I was out of hypnosis, I was so thankful I had done it. I felt better the first day and still feel better years later!Raj,

Adding blocks to lesson
The lesson module lends itself well to blocks. It already has a three column format same as a course format. Also, via the lesson settings, one can add a left menu, a timer or a link to a media file. All of these are displayed in the left or the right column, are static and are block like. In order to add greater flexibility to the lesson display and to reduce the number of lesson settings, which are numerous, block functionality should be added to lesson.
Lesson blocks
Lesson features that would be extracted from lesson and placed into blocks would be the following:
- Left menu (block name lesson_menu)
- Media file (block name lesson_media_file)
- Timer (block name lesson_clock)
The settings for these features would be removed from lesson and would be handled by the block configuration interface. Also these features, as blocks, could be more easily expanded. For example:
- lesson_menu could be configurable to include any lesson page or branch table (often requested).
- lesson_media_file could be configurable to display the media file via a pop-up or embedded into the lesson page.
- lesson_clock could be configurable to be a count down timer or as a clock that displays how long a user has been in a lesson (has been requested).
Other blocks
By adding block functionality to lesson, other blocks become available to lesson. Some blocks would not make sense in a lesson like the admin block. To handle this, lesson would have a global configuration that could disable blocks from being added to a lesson. This will help to reduce confusion for lesson authors.
Sticky blocks
Sticky blocks could be used to force a block to appear on every lesson page. Then non-sticky blocks would only appear on the page to which it was added. This would allow one to add a sticky block like lesson_menu to all pages and add an HTML block that would only appear on a single page.
The possibility of using sticky blocks is still fuzzy. It could prove to be difficult to design an interface that works well with the current block API. If a clean implementation of sticky blocks cannot be found, then all blocks would like sticky blocks; all pages would have the same blocks.
Adding blocks seems to suit lesson well. By doing so, lesson gains a the following:
- A more flexible layout.
- A new powerful tool: blocks. Users can create their own blocks to plug into lesson.
- The lesson settings will be reduced.

The NCAA's top governing board Wednesday directed the leadership of Divisions I, II and III to consider developing legislation to address college athletes involved in reported incidents of sexual violence.
The Board of Governors, during its quarterly meeting in Indianapolis, also created an ad hoc committee that will continue confronting and addressing issues of sexual violence on college campuses. The committee will comprise college presidents and chancellors, experts in the fields of student services and assault prevention, and other leaders. Among its tasks, the committee will focus on strategies for prevention and continued education about sexual violence at colleges and universities.
The decisions are the board's latest steps in defining how a college athletics department should properly respond to sexual violence accusations involving a student-athlete. In recent years, the Association has convened experts across an array of disciplines to discuss the role college athletics should play in combatting sexual violence on campuses. In 2014, the NCAA Executive Committee – the previous name of the Board of Governors – adopted a resolution laying out its expectations for athletics departments.
In asking the divisions to consider drafting legislation, the Board of Governors turned to that resolution, directing them to consider how its main points could be turned into rules for member schools. That resolution states that the top NCAA board expects members to:
- Comply with campus authorities and follow campus protocol for reporting incidents of sexual violence.
- Educate student-athletes, coaches and staff about sexual violence prevention, intervention and response.
- Assure compliance with all federal and applicable state regulations related to sexual violence prevention and response.
- Cooperate with but not manage, direct, control or interfere with college or university investigations into allegations of sexual violence, ensuring investigations involving student-athletes and athletics department staff are managed in the same manner as all other students and staff on campus.
Each NCAA division is led by a governing body made up of college and university presidents and chancellors – the Division I Board of Directors, the Division II Presidents Council and the Division III Presidents Council. Those groups will review the Board of Governors' request.
The board's directions are the latest in its ongoing conversations on sexual assault prevention and education. Weeks after the resolution passed in 2014, the NCAA released the handbook "Addressing Sexual Assault and Interpersonal Violence: Athletics' Role in Support of Healthy and Safe Campuses" and joined the White House-initiated partnership It's On Us, designed to encourage bystander intervention. The NCAA convened a Sexual Assault Task Force in 2015 and sponsored the Higher Education Summit on Sexual Assault in February.
This fall, the NCAA is expected to release a resource for college athletics administrators called "Sexual Violence Prevention: Athletics' Toolkit for a Healthy and Safe Culture."
Sexual assault survivor Brenda Tracy and her son Darius Adams scheduled a visit to the NCAA national office the day of the board meeting to deliver a petition asking the association to ban sexual violence perpetrators from competing in college sports.
"We appreciate the opportunity to speak again with Brenda and with her son Darius," the NCAA said in a statement. "She has a compelling story and, like us, is seeking changes on campuses and nationally to stem the tide of sexual assault. We look forward to continuing our conversation with her and other leaders regarding this important matter."

Patient Reviews & Testimonials for Western States HIFU
Are you a patient of Dr. Robert Pugach?
Do you have a story to share? Submit a testimonial or share your experience with us. Watch a video testimonial from several of our patients.
"I had HIFU almost 3 years ago. I flew to Puerto Vallarta on a Sunday, had HIFU with Dr. Pugach on Monday, flew home on Tuesday and went back to work on Wednesday! I felt then, and I still feel now, like a young man again! My energy is great and I can't wait to go to work every day." TS
Five years cancer free!
Five years ago at the age of 62 I had a routine blood test that indicated my PSA was elevated to the point that further tests would be required. I had no symptoms and felt normal. One risk factor that was important was that my father had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in his 60's. After discussing the situation with my wife we decided further investigation was warranted.
As a retired firefighter of 30 plus years I was well aware of the issue of prostate cancer as it had affected numerous friends that I had worked with. The majority had been less than satisfied with the treatment and results post-surgery. Incontinence and loss of sexual function seemed to be the norm. After numerous conversations with people I trusted I was really in a quandary as to how to proceed. Fortunately, I ran into a good buddy who is a retired police officer with the City of Long Beach. He had recently had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had been referred to Dr. Pugach in Los Alamitos. Following his diagnosis and ultimate treatment he was ecstatic with the results. He was back to pretty much normal within a couple of months and most importantly cancer free.
I made the decision to put myself in the hands of Dr. Pugach and hope for the best. Five years later I am cancer free and have full sexual function, no incontinence and pretty much lead a normal life. HIFU was something I had never heard of but because of word of mouth from people I trusted I decided to give it a try. It worked and I have been very pleased with the results. Dr. Pugach and his staff have been exceptional. I highly recommend HIFU as a treatment option for prostate cancer. Dr. Pugach has an extensive history with HIFU and is considered one of the preeminent urologists in his field. He's also a good guy.
DT, Mission Viejo, CA
My brother was diagnosed 5 years ago with metastatic prostate cancer. He was the type of guy who didn't visit the doctor and when he finally did, he found that he had stage 4 colon cancer and has his tumor removed. He now lives with a colostomy bag. He was lucky to survive that.
After dealing with the colon cancer, he learned he had prostate cancer which had travelled to his bones in the pelvic area and spine.
When Dr. Pugach heard about all of this 5 years ago, he said he was going to monitor me carefully because he thought it would be inevitable that I would also get prostate cancer. After 5 biopsies over 5 years and 3 MRI's, Dr. Pugach found my prostate cancer.
Unlike my brother, I chose to have HIFU early and get rid of my cancer so that I could continue to live a long and healthy life. Five days before Christmas 2018, I had my HIFU treatment and enjoyed Christmas with my family. No one knew I was wearing a leg bag (catheter) and no one knew I even went through this procedure over the holidays except for my immediate family.
Today I had my catheter removed and I feel great! All I can say is, I hope your willget a doctor like Dr. Pugach who will be persistent in your situation and will take care of you the way he did for me. He had first hand experience with his brother and himself, so I knew I was in good hands.
Thank God for Dr. Pugach
RF, Long Beach (January 2019)
I studied HIFU for about ten years before it became legal in the USA. I was told by my Urologist that I was not a candidate for HIFU my Gleason score was #7 and that I had cancer on both sides of my Urethra. I Made an appointment with Dr Pagach. They did an MRI and a Bone Scan and said I was a candidate. I made an appointment for the HIFU procedure It was done at 2:30 pm on 03/28/2018 I was was done at 7:30 PM I had dinner at a restaurant at 8:30 PM everything went as he discussed with me. No cutting No Bleeding No Pain we stayed at the local Marriott and drove home 270 miles 2 days after the procedure two weeks later doing great. I would recommend highly this procedure to any one that has prostate cancer. Dr Pugach can give my contact Information for reference on request. Pete S
I was very lucky when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer to be introduced to Dr. Pugach. He gave me all of the options possible for my treatments. After my research and talking with my Doctors, I decided to go with Dr. Pugach for the HIFU surgery. This was the best decision of my life. Dr. Pugach and his office staff have knowledgeable, patient, caring, and just took care of me. Dr. Pugach is the best in his field and I would strongly recommend him.
Jeff V.
After undergoing a biopsy, Dr. Robert Pugach explained treatment options ranging from watchful waiting to HIFU. Even though my prostate cancer was in the early stages, I decided to be treated with
HIFU. I'm not the type of man that can wait and watch. My HIFU procedure was performed in June 2014 in Puerto Vallarta. I'm very thankful that I was in the hands of one of the most experienced HIFU
Doctors in the country. Also, thanks to the HIFU Prostate Services team, and a HIFU patient that I spoke with, who is now a good friend, for guiding me through the entire procedure. I'm a strong advocate for
prostate cancer screening and will do all I can to help educate men about HIFU.
Six and 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer by Dr. Pugach. I had come in for a couple of years for urology check- ups. After a high PSA, he did a biopsy and confirmed the diagnosis.
Dr. Pugach discussed all of my options with me. At the time, he was doing HIFU in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. I chose HIFU because it was the best I could do. Mexico was great, I came home a couple days later. I returned to work feeling great, the same as I did before surgery. I work on my own so I was able to work when I was ready.
Today I feel great. I feel like I never had surgery. I would recommend HIFU to anyone considering treatment of their prostate cancer. I am happy with everything he did and I'm grateful to have a great quality of life. Thank you Dr. Pugach - Abel, treated in 2010
Hace 6 años ½ me diagnosticaron con cáncer de próstata por el Dr. Pugach . Yo había sido objeto de un par de años para copias de urología check. Después de un alto nivel de PSA, me hizo una biopsia y se confirmó el diagnóstico . El Dr. Pugach discutido todas mis opciones conmigo . En ese momento, él estaba haciendo HIFU en Puerto Vallarta , México. Elegí HIFU porque era lo mejor que podía hacer. México era grande , llegué a casa un par de días más tarde. Volví a trabajar sensación grande, lo mismo que lo hacía antes de la cirugía. Yo trabajo por mi cuenta, así que era capaz de trabajar cuando estaba listo. Hoy me siento muy bien . Siento como si nunca hubiera tenido la cirugía . Yo recomendaría a cualquiera que esté considerando HIFU el tratamiento de su cáncer de próstata. Estoy contento con todo lo que hizo y estoy agradecido de tener una gran calidad de vida. Gracias Dr. Pugach - Abel, treated in 2010
Dr. Pugach is a fantastic, understanding doctor. His staff relates to him and they are very efficient and professional, which makes me feel very comfortable. Dr. Pugach operated on my prostate 18 years ago! I would recommend him to anyone.

I wanted to take a minute to tell you how grateful that Jane and I are for your quick action, logical diagnosis process, recommendations and general responsiveness to our diagnosis of prostate cancer, Gleason 4+5. In the end, we decided on removal of the prostate at City of Hope as opposed to the HIFU process.
I think it might be helpful for you to know our decision making process. I was concerned about the aggressive type of cancer, the odds of reoccurrence in five years, and the risk that insurance would not stick with me once HIFU was performed. I was also very concerned about the method the body cleans up the detritus created by HIFU and bladder and urethra issues associated with it. All this considered, I just wanted the prostate out. I would deal with the known consequences. You were all fantastic, but in the end run, I took your advice and called City of Hope. It was clear to them that we needed to move quickly. Surgery using the DaVinci microsurgery was performed Saturday, January 22, by Dr. Lau. One week later, I have been diagnosed "cancer free." There was no cancer on the periphery and none in the lymph nodes. While we will watch this carefully over the next months and years this is as good an outcome as might be expected with my Gleason score. I have no incontinence, and, well, the rest, we will see. Thank you again for your role in this process. Without your expert testing and guidance, I could not be sitting here today giving this report.
– Ron
I wish that all doctors were like Dr. Pugach, knowledgeable, listens, friendly well organized staff and available when needed. I was having some urinary problems and was diagnosed by another doctor and I did not think it was correct. I met with Dr. Pugach and he listened carefully and indicated to me that he did not agree with the other diagnosis. As it turns out, I had prostate cancer. Dr. Pugach spent time and described all the various solutions and presented the pros and cons of each procedure. He patiently answered all my questions then and each time I met him both before and after the procedure, and always asked if he addressed all my questions. I chose to do the HIFU, Intensity Focused Ultrasound which is not yet approved in the USA; however is approved in most of the world. Dr Pugach performs the procedure in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He was scheduled to be there in July 2011; however he did not want me to wait until then and made a special trip for me (missing a Urology convention) in May. I am very pleased with the outcome of the procedure and, especially, the fine treatment by Dr. Pugach who I unreservedly recommend to anyone with Urological needs.

The sizzling New York Rangers steam into Philadelphia to renew their long and often bitter rivalry with the Flyers on Friday.
The Rangers, who are supposed to be in a rebuild, have won three straight and are 9-1-1 in their last 11 games. They have outscored the opposition 11-3 in the three games, beating the New York Islanders 5-0 Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
That win ended an eight-game losing streak against the Islanders, pulled the Rangers (12-8-2) into a tie for first place in the Metropolitan Division.
"It was getting a little ridiculous," Marc Staal said of ending the streak. "Obviously that building is a lot different. But the fact that we couldn't even win (more than once) in our own building? They're supposed to be one our biggest rivals, and to keep laying eggs, it wasn't sitting well." >> Read more

Sixty-thousand light-years from Earth, the corrupt Terran Confederacy holds the Koprulu sector tightly in its tyrannical grip, controlling every aspect of its citizens' lives. One man dares to stand up to this faceless empire and vows to bring it to its knees: Arcturus Mengsk -- genius propagandist, tactician, and freedom fighter. A monstrous act of bloody violence sows the seeds of rebellion in Arcturus, but he is not the first Mengsk to rail against such oppression. Before Arcturus grew to manhood, his father, Angus Mengsk, also defied the Confederacy and sought to end its brutal reign. The destiny of the Mengsk family has long been tied to that of the Confederacy and the Koprulu sector, but as a new empire rises from the ashes of the past and alien invaders threaten the very existence of humanity, what will the future hold for the next generation...?
