27 April 2017 -
Most people think purpose is about a compelling statement that explains why you exist as an organisation. I disagree.
A sense of purpose comes from not only a meaningful reason to be, it is also about the culture in which to thrive; the goals we need to achieve and the resolve, energy, commitment and drive to achieve the impossible.
Sadly, a large percentage of managers say that defining and embedding purpose is one of the things they are weakest at doing, and their employees agree.
Special research conducted for my latest book, People with Purpose, by online polling company YouGov, points to what you need to do to inspire super performance from your team.
YouGov polled 1,880 managers and 2,200 employees across a range of commercial sectors, public sector and charity organisations. Here are the top eight behaviours YouGov identified that motivate your people by giving them a greater sense of purpose.
Employees want to know how what they do makes a difference to the people they serve. The best leaders are either regularly bringing customers in to talk with their people, or they are constantly communicating about customer experiences and expectations.
Many managers fail to acknowledge how people are feeling, because they feel that if they do so, they validate those feelings and will be compelled to reverse decisions that may not be liked. Empathising does not mean agreeing, and empathy is everything.
Employees want a purpose that is more than just simply about making a profit. They want to feel they are making a difference in the world. Managers who don't reinforce this, disconnect them from a purpose that otherwise might be hugely inspiring.

Show employees how what they are doing contributes to the organisation's purpose. Setting goals that clearly align with the corporate goals is vital for employees to feel connected and part of something that makes them proud. (By the way, the more often those goals are reviewed, the higher the performance.)
Managers who are good listeners are often the most inspiring leaders. People feel much more respected and valued when they feel heard.
Listening leaders pick up great ideas from their staff, welcome bad news in order to take corrective action, and guide and steer opinions because they are better informed about how people are feeling.
Your culture is one of your most important assets. The values that define how you behave are crucial to create a sense of belonging, predictability, and freedom for your staff.
People who know the purpose and values of the organisation are able to make decisions without the boss being there. Leaders who are inconsistent about the values sew confusion and doubt and inefficiency into their teams.
Of course you are honest, and of course you are sincere. Some 94% of the managers we surveyed said they were. The only problem is that only two thirds of staff believe their managers are honest, with a third actively disagreeing.
Doing what you say you will do, living the values, doing what you expect others to do – these all go to how employees perceive you and you may unwittingly be failing in some or all of these areas.

How you make people feel will determine your success. Neuroscience shows that people who are made to feel worthy, who are respected, cared for and nurtured, are far more likely to be super performers, to go the extra mile and to be loyal and committed employees.
Managers who inadvertently disrespect their staff, or who deliberately or accidentally make them feel threatened or unworthy, quickly demotivate their staff and lose the performance edge so crucial to success.
In the YouGov research, 93% of managers said that they cared about the people they lead. Only 50% of employees agreed. A lot of bosses are failing in this regard. Are you one of them?

WASHINGTON, June 7, 2016 — Before the first vote is cast in California, Hillary Clinton's supporters have declared her victory and seized her participation medal; she will be the first woman to top a U.S. major party presidential ticket.
After the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico voted this weekend, Clinton drew within 25 of the necessary 2,383 delegates to win the Democratic nomination on the first round.
Trump and Clinton: A surprising rise and a shocking collapse
California polls have consistently shown Clinton and Sanders neck and neck in their bid for the state's 475 pledged delegates. While a popular win by Sanders will not change Clinton's delegate advantage, it will strengthen his demand for a voice in the party's platform going forward. That includes policy concessions from Clinton during the convention and, if she is elected in November, thereafter.
Clinton is packing for party's July convention in Philadelphia for her coronation as the first woman to be first lady, U.S. senator, secretary of state, and now presidential nominee.
Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, has said:
"This is an important milestone, but there are six states that are voting Tuesday, with millions of people heading to the polls, and Hillary Clinton is working to earn every vote. We look forward to Tuesday night, when Hillary Clinton will clinch not only a win in the popular vote, but also the majority of pledged delegates,"
The Clinton campaign is planning a victory party tonight, after the results from New Jersey and California are in; however, Sanders' backers are planning to deflate more than a few of Hillary's red, white and blue balloons by capturing the popular vote in both states.
"We are on the brink of an historic, unprecedented moment, but we still have work to do, don't we?" Clinton said at a rally Monday night in Long Beach, Calif. "We have six elections tomorrow and we're going to fight hard for every single vote, especially right here in California."
The news media have routinely failed to note that Clinton is not drawing anywhere near the enthusiastic crowds to her rallies that both Trump and Sanders are drawing to theirs.
In tweets following the AP's announcement of her delegate tally, Clinton said she was "flattered" but urged voters in the six states holding contests Tuesday—California, Montana, New Mexico, North and South Dakota and New Jersey—to get out to vote, as did former President Bill Clinton .
Sanders supporters want to be taken seriously despite pot and profanity
Sanders and his supporters have repeatedly complained that the nomination process is "rigged." Michael Briggs, a Sanders spokesman, issued a statement saying:
"it is unfortunate that the media, in a rush to judgment, are ignoring the Democratic National Committee's clear statement that it is wrong to count the votes of superdelegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer."
"Secretary Clinton does not have and will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to secure the nomination … [superdelegates] can change their minds" before the July convention.
"Our job from now until the convention is to convince those superdelegates that Bernie is by far the strongest candidate against Donald Trump."
Clinton has already discounted Sanders and his supporters, instead pivoting to attack Trump on his temperament, Trump U and national security. Her new line of attack is to claim that he is unfit for the White House.
"I'm tired of Donald Trump, for many reasons, but I'm tired of him downgrading America. I'm tired of him really speaking ill of our country," Clinton said Monday night in California.
Clinton will attack Trump with more vehemence on subjects such as education and her pledge to "stand up to the gun lobby."
Clinton's 'major' foreign policy speech a major attack on Trump
Trump will hit back as hard as Clinton can lob her attacks, countering with Benghazi, White Water, the email scandal, her ties to Wall Street and Saudi Arabia, and her calls For "urgent reforms" to our criminal justice system. These are needed to undo the damage caused by President Clinton's 1994 Crime Bill and "tough on crime" policies, which she supported.
Hillary Clinton says a wave of unrest in Baltimore shows that our criminal justice system is "out of balance" and in "urgent need" of reform. "I hope that the tragedies of the last year give us the opportunity to come together as a nation to find our balance again," she said in an essay for the Brennan Center for Justice
The general election season will unofficially begin tomorrow if Clinton dominates today's primaries. Trump and Clinton are neck-and-neck according to some polls, but both candidates are unpopular and deeply flawed.
It will be up to the voters in November to decide if a life-long politician with carpet bags of scandals should be returned to the White House or a business man, without the political savoir-faire of the inside-the-beltway gilded tongues, should steer America going forward.

Our 2018 exhibitions, all of which end on 31st October, include items of national interest in a year which marks both the centenary of the end of World War I and the 400th anniversary of the death of Sir Walter Raleigh.
In our ground floor Exhibition Room, 'Raleigh 400' is our tribute to East Devon's greatest historical figure. A highlight will be the original painting 'The Boyhood of Raleigh' by the celebrated Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais, on loan to Fairlynch from the Tate Britain collection for the third time in 50 years. We will also be exhibiting a second work by Millais entitled 'The Boyhood – a study of the child'. On loan from a private collection it is of special interest as it shows the artist's son Everett. This will be the first time that the paintings have been shown together. Alongside the paintings in the Exhibition Room will be various items from Raleigh's period. One of the stars of the show will be a pair of 1590s kid leather beautifully embroidered gloves. It is thought that they may have been Sir Walter's. All these items are on loan from a variety of sources including the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, Tuckers Hall and St Nicholas' Priory in Exeter, Dents (Warminster) and a display of Elizabethan coinage from a private collection.
Following our highly successful 'Quilts and Textiles' exhibition in our First Floor Exhibition Room, Budleigh Salterton Art Club is staging a display of work by members. Most pieces are for sale.
'Gordon' by John Washington
The formality and ritual of Victorian society is no better reflected than in the complexity of a typical lady's costume and the fact that, on occasion, the top end of seven kilos of skirts and underskirts required carrying and when necessary supporting. And then came the velocipede, and the vital necessity to hitch those skirts well clear of pedals and brakes. The Victorians' ingenious answer to the problem was the skirt lifter. You might think that a simple safety pin would suffice but you would be wrong: Scissor, Tong, Suspender, Screw Top, Spring Clip, Ball and Ring, Grappler, Edith and Penny Farthing, to name but a few, are all varieties of this extraordinary collectable. Carole Walker, a member of Fairlynch Museum's Local History Group has put together a display of these curious items. Her book A History and Guide to collecting Ladies' Antique Skirt Lifters is on sale in the Museum shop and available from Amazon.
To mark 100 years since the end of the Great War a Local History display will feature the Red Cross hospitals in the area. Bicton House, a few miles east of Budleigh, was the home of the Clinton family. In 1914, like so many country houses during the Great War, it became a VAD military hospital and for four years provided care for sixty wounded soldiers. In Budleigh Salterton itself there were hospitals for the war wounded. One of the town's well known residents was artist and author Joyce Dennys, who designed this celebrated VAD recruitment poster. In 1915 she was commissioned to draw the pictures for Our Hospital ABC with verses by Hampden Gordon and M.C. Tindall, published in the following year. This rare book has been recently reprinted in a limited number of copies.

There is now a NEW three wire calculator available to use in the Tools section!
Three Wire Calculator : Javascript
I decided to write it in javascript so it would be easier on our mobile users.
This new version calculates the Pitch Diameter and the Wire Measurement for 60 degree threads. If you wish to use it for metric threads, all values must first be converted to Inches. I had asked our users if they knew or could port to mobile devices, and received no response. Thus, I created a little calculator that fits perfectly in the hand.
I had wanted to use number inputs for the calculator, so on mobile, a number pad would rise instead of the full QWERTY keyboard. But, I'm sure for some mobile users, the decimal inputs would be invalidated as they clicked the next field (as it did me). Fixing that issue is a bit beyond my capability.
Again, this is a much simpler calculator than the original. Later I may add more words and diagrams.
Occasionally a customer will ask us to duplicate a sample part. Most of the time the part was custom made years ago by others, or it is an item that simply cannot be 'purchased.' I have uploaded pictures into the Welding page, showing the finished product (Left), next to the sample part (Right). We are calling it a lift, as that is what it appears to do for this customer. The job required little machining, some rod bending, and welding with the TIG setup.
Recently, we had the opportunity to help out the local high school rocketry class at R.L.Turner by repairing some needed equipment. We were proud and honored to lend a hand.
The Rocket was launched May 15th, 2015. We were told it had achieved super sonic speeds. Congrats to those students!
For more information please check out:
Here is a picture we received from one of the students.
Click on the picture to view it in full.
There are more images in the machining gallery. Only a few, though I'm working on more very soon.
Go Take A Look.
Just started a new gallery page, Machining. Just two images for now, more to come. Go check it out.
Customer needed some safety chains welded to his trailer and a small mod to mount a jack. So we grabbed the 110v portable MIG welder and welded it all up in the parking lot in a matter of minutes, according to the customers requests. I've uploaded a few images of the event, Check them out in the Gallery.
If you are one of those people who have been frequenting the Tools section on our web page, I am now allowing the FREE download of the Three Wire Calculator, and Metric Converter. It may be for a limited time, or may not be, I have not decided. I have also updated the download links for the Drill Chart. If anyone has any trouble with the downloads, let me know and I will get right on it.
Please enjoy!
Apparently our flash tools were on the fritz. The issue has been resolved and the flash programs are ready for service. Sorry for any inconvenience.

PC Buyer's Guide 2012
In my 15-plus years writing for Computerized Investing, I can't recall a time when the PC industry was undergoing such profound change as is happening now. Consumers are holding onto their systems longer, as we benefit from better technology that is lengthening their useful lives. Instead of spending our money on upgrading our personal computers, we are buying smartphones and tablets. Add in the macroeconomic headwinds around the globe, and the PC industry is on the verge of its first year-over-year decline in sales in 11 years.
As consumers, we are faced with an exciting array of options to satisfy our computing needs. With this, however, comes questions and confusion. This is the environment we are facing as I sit down to write our annual PC Buyer's Guide. I hope to dispel some of these issues and help you decide what you need when buying a new PC. This guide is intended for those looking for a PC to aid in the computerized investment and analysis process. This includes such tasks as portfolio management and tracking, stock and mutual fund screening, and technical analysis and charting. In addition, the systems we recommend will be able to handle common everyday tasks, including email, Web browsing, word processing and spreadsheet work.

Google Hangouts to be introduced at Google I/O
Google will reportedly introduce its unified messaging system at this week's Google I/O developer conference. As we've previously reported, the name of the system will not be Google Babel, but will be called Google Hangouts. If that name sounds familiar to you, it is because Google already uses Hangouts for its video chat-room service.
Leaked screenshots of the service reveal that Google Hangouts will incorporate the GChat instant messaging feature. It also shows users being given the option to Sign out of Hangouts, confirming the name. In addition, it was learned that Google employees received a thank you email from Google yesterday for their hard work testing some of the products that will be introduced at Google I/O. The email indicated that Google Hangouts will be unveiled at the conference which begins this coming Wednesday.

Malta authorities want to take down this colorful road-side erection, lest the Pope get offended. En route to the airport, Unholy Joey is scheduled to pass the public sculpture and citizens want it to be removed "as a sign of respect." En route, 11 of 25 alleged child abuse case victims in Malta have asked the Pope for a meeting and an apology, but Vatican spokesman said sorry, the Pope's on "already very tight" schedule.
Meanwhile, Luqa's mayor agrees with the fretfuls in thinking that a phallus isn't "the most fitting" greeting for the Pope in "what is considered to be the most Catholic country in the world." Maltese artist Paul Vella Critien defends his sculpture. It is not a 10 foot tall penis but an avant-garde obelisk:
The mayor knows nothing about fine art, he's just a man in the street… It certainly wasn't my intention to make it look like a penis. If I had wanted to create a giant penis, believe me I would have known how to do it.
Well then. Get to it! NuMu could always use more over-sized genital things for 'Skin Fruit.' |Telegraph|

Newbie questions about Pliant
Newbie questions about Pliant
What is the meaning of <precovery offset="xxxxx" /> ?
in database
Message posted by
2003/05/11 17:00:18
I have a recent problem both with linux and windows :
the modifications made on a site or an user disapears when i restart my server.
In fact curent session takes account of changes but they are not writen in the
"site.pdb" or "user.pdb". An example is :
if, in "localhost" I write "hue 300" in style options
and I update, the background color of tittle turn immediately to purple.
If I reset the server and reload, the color go back to green.
Looking at the .pdb files I have found new lines with this structure :
<precovery offset="xxxxx" /> and the number of lines seems to increase with my test.
Is there a relation between the two phenomena ? and what is the meaning of these lines ?
Message posted by

But the changes are well recorded in "site.log"
Message posted by

When a Pliant database has a .log file, then the temporary changes are written
to the .log file instead of the .pdb main one.
So, a
<precovery offset="xxxxx" />
line is append at the end of the main file in order to specify the offset the
log file should be parsed from in case of crash, in order to recover changes.
What's new with Pliant release 84 is that the database main files are rewritten
only roughly once every 24 hours, whereas there used to be rewritten between
once every 5 seconds and once every 2 hours depending on the size of the database.
So, with older version, when you restarted the server, most of the time, no
change was pending in the log file, whereas now, most of the time some changes
are pending.
What has to be found is why when loading the database at restart time, your
Pliant system does not parse properly the main file, then the end of the log
file, as it should in order to get all changes back.
If you want to force changes to the database main file, you can use the new
'Store databases' in the status page, but it should not be needed.

I think to have well understood the normal process and its features, but unfortunately not
why it doesn't act when restarting the sever, I have try a lot of tests but whithout success.
The "store database" solution works but is not easy
when you try ro teach the "easy" configuration of servers.
The problem is that I encountered this problem with three different computers,
one, at home, running Windows Xp, the two others at the club running Linux (Mandrake 9.0).

I cannot reproduce the problem here:
I change the 'contact' field of a user, so I can see that the 'precovery'
line is added at the end of user.pdb,
then I kill the Pliant server,
then restart it,
and the user.pdb file is immediately rewritten with the new value, picked
from the user.log file.
Could you try with only minimal precompiling.

I work on WinXP.
I have reinstalled the server, with cutom precompile.
I have launch the servers.
I have open "localhost" and login as root
I have print as references "user.log" and "user.pdb".
I have edited the user michel and add adummy phone number and update inf.
I now look at the two files.
user.pdb has a new line :
<precovery offset="37034" />
user.log has two new lines :
<plogin timestamp="Mon, 12 May 2003 08:42:39 GMT" user="root" />
<pdata path="/user/michel/contact">tel : 1234567890</pdata>
I close the two files, I close my browser, i shutdown the servers.
I look at the two files : no change
I start the server (I have test wit and witout fulloliant launch)
I look at the files no change the 2+1 files are still here.
I open my browser and ask for localhost, in the user michel the phone number
has desapeared.
Question : what is the meaning of "37034" ?
my question is because I have two hours of difference between
my system time and my server time.
Message posted by
2003/05/12 09:24:04
> what is the meaning of "37034" ?
It is the offset in the .log where the changes not already written in the .pdb
Looking at the Pliant code, I see that the 'seek' option is not implemented
in method
method nd query command stream answer -> status
oarg_rw NativeStreamDriver nd ; arg Str command ; arg_rw Stream stream ; arg_w Str answer ; arg ExtendedStatus status
in module /pliant/language/stream/native.pli
so it might be the explaination of the problem under Win32: the offset is bad.
Also it does not explain at all why you get the same problem under Linux.
> I have two hours of difference between my system time and my server time.
You live in France, and the server is using greenwitch mean time.

I try seval things :
reinstall pliant >> no change
supress /pliant_security/, /pliant_data/ /pliant/binaries/ and /pliant/pliant/,
unzip the archive , reinstall and reconfigure >> no change
the same bur with release 83 >>> ALL is OK !
Message posted by

The difference is that older releases will rewrite the user.pdb frequently,
so the problem does not append because the file is probably rewritten between
the time you changed the field though your browser and the time you stopped
the server.
The problem is simply hidden, but still there.

On my home computer, with linux and release 84, all seems ok.
I have to grasp more seriously the problem at the club.
Subsidiary question :
why releese-84.tgz gives Pliant release 84 tittle and
release-84.zip gives Pliant release 83 tittle ?

Because I forgot to recompile Pliant for win32 executable before packaging
release 84 :-(


text: A method to combine observations and an ensemble of ecological models has been used to assess eutrophication. Using downscaled forcing from two GCMs under the A1B emission scenario, an assessment of the eutrophication status was made for a control (19702000) and a future climate (20702100) period. By using validation results from a hindcast to compute individual weights between the models, an assessment of eutrophication is done using a set of threshold values. The final classification distinguishes between three categories: problem area, potential problem area, and non-problem area, in accordance with current management practice as suggested by the Oslo and Paris Commissions (OSPAR) and the Helsinki Commission (HELCOM). For the control run the assessment indicates that the Kattegat, the Danish Straits, the Gulf of Finland, the Gotland Basin as well as main parts of the Arkona Basin, the Bornholm Basin, and the Baltic proper may be classified as problem areas. The main part of the North Sea and also the Skagerrak are non-problem areas while the main parts of the Gulf of Bothnia, Gulf of Riga and the entire southeastern continental coast of the North Sea may be classified as potential problem areas. In the future climate scenarios most of the previous potential problem areas in the Baltic Sea have become problem areas, except for the Bothnian Bay where the situation remain fairly unchanged. In the North Sea there seems to be no obvious changes in eutrophication status in the projected future climate.

When I was a student, I followed many masterclasses and private lessons with some of the best belcanto singers of their time: Gianni Raimondi, Franco Corelli and Nicolai Gedda.
They themselves learned their art from the great masters, and I was lucky enough to be part of the last generation of students who were able to study directly under them. The knowledge they passed on to me has been invaluable for my career, and now it's time for me to pass on everything I know about the belcanto traditions to a new generation of young singers.
Please use the contact form on my website to get in touch with me if you are interested in hosting a masterclass.
Past master classes:

For years we have been hearing about the decline of civility - in schools, offices, even our government. That good manners are vanishing due to (take your pick) increased reliance on technology, poor parenting, cable TV, or Facebook. And I must admit that I do see evidence of this everywhere, much to my dismay.

Allen Iverson Coy On Future With Denver Nuggets, Could The Answer Fit On Contender Like Detroit Pistons or San Antonio Spurs?
Iverson is a great player. I don't sweat his turnovers and shot attempts because I love his heart. But I can't see the scenario he mentioned unfolding, where he takes a reduced salary and joins San Antonio or Detroit as a role player …
The Denver Post reports on whether Allen Iverson will finish his career in Denver:
"I'd rather be here. But I mean, I'm going to do what's right for me. And that's just as far as being able to win a championship. That's the most important thing to me. "So, after this contract is over, I would like to stay here. But, you know, I'm going to try to do what's right for me and my family."
"I don't think about contracts. When my time is up, I'll weigh my options after the season after my contract is up. I don't get into it like guys do when they're coming into the last year of their contract, and then they start worrying about if they're playing well and thinking about their money. The only thing I think about is basketball. I got enough money."
My Quick Take: The Answer didn't have much of an answer when asked if he wanted to stay in long-term. Iverson's wait-and-see approach with the Nuggets is fair. It's just surprising when you consider the team's success last season.
Of course, success is relative.
is a great player. I don't sweat his turnovers and shot attempts because I love his heart. But I can't see the scenario he hints at unfolding, where he takes a reduced salary and joins say
It didn't work for mega-stars like Gary Payton and Karl Malone in
The Spurs and Pistons are balanced teams.
Iverson is not effective unless he's handling the ball. I'm not judging. I'm stating fact. The tiny guard needs the rock to get his and create for others. Contending teams are more structured and won't allow Iverson to freestyle on the perimeter.
Right now, at this stage of his career, Iverson's game and personality is too big to mesh with an established contender. I don't see much changing in two years, either.
Could Iverson take a lesser role and play for a contender? Get at us in the comment box with your thoughts.

It's HERE! The Morningside Hospital Patient Database
By Ellen | December 31, 2013
When the Lost Alaskans blog went online five years ago, we began to hear from people who were searching for friends and relatives who were committed to Morningside Hospital, some as long as one hundred years ago. We hope the Morningside Hospital Patient Database will make their search easier and answer their questions. There are three types of records available. The Quarterly Reports have diagnoses and other information on patients, the Death Certificates are those who died while at Morningside, and the court records document the commitment process. There are gaps in all of the record sets so the search continues. The database will be formally announced in January. In the meantime, give it a try and send comments and recommendations. Click on Search Patient Records and then enter at least three consecutive letters of the patient's last name and, optionally, any part of the patient's first name. The database searches both the name as entered as well as alternate spellings found in the records. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority for their long-term support, especially over the past six months. The Trust made it possible for our volunteer researchers to get to record archives in Maryland, Alaska and Oregon. The entry of 45,000 records would not have been possible without Trust support. And thanks to the volunteers who collected the information in the database. Volunteers by type of record are Meg Greene and Niesje Steinkruger (Court Records), Eric Cordingley, David Anderson and Sally Mead (Death Certificates) and Marylou Elton, Karen Perdue, Ellen Ganley and Robin Renfro (Quarterly Reports), and Deborah Smith (Alaska State Archives). Many thanks to Doug Toelle, our project manager at Access Alaska And last, but not least, thanks to database programmer Don Kiely, web designer Jana Peirce, and data entry queen Nancy Lowe, all of whom are hugely talented and extremely patient.

A Patient's Perspective on Morningside in the 1960's
By Ellen | January 22, 2012
Steve B. was a patient at Morningside Hospital in the mid-1960s. He is the first former patient to contact us and provides a look at life at Morningside from the patient's perspective. If you have a question for Steve, please leave a comment and we'll pass them along to him. By Steve B. During my stay, both drugs and EST were used. I was not treated with EST, only drugs, among which I am sure there were anti-depressants and tranquilizers. There were perhaps six or seven teens in my ward and one or two of them were administered EST. Memory tells me that most EST-treated patients were in the older population. On my ward, meds were kept in a locked chest located on the wall near the aides' station. These were carefully measured and administered by the aides themselves. Mine were in powder format, mixed with orange juice for tolerable palatability. Dr. Roy Moss, in "talk therapy" individual sessions, addressed my problems, but I was never given a diagnosis or nomenclature for those problems. Perhaps my parents were given a technical-medical name for what was ailing me, but they never mentioned it and I never inquired. Hindsight tells me there were probably well over a hundred patients during the period of my stay, but these were scattered among different wards/dorms, and I never witnessed a mass-gathering of patients, so this is only my best guess. There were many native Alaskans at Morningside during my stay. Again, since I have no real grasp on the total population, I can't accurately say how many their numbers were. But I would run across them "all the time", especially in larger gatherings such as daily cafeteria meals, so I would guess that they were still constituting a substantial portion of the general population. Most of these were older males (didn't notice many, if any, females), and other than the normal courtesies, unfortunately, I didn't converse with them - so I can't relate anything regarding the frequency and/or process of returning them to Alaska. One exception was the only teen Alaskan I knew, who was an affable sort except when his anger management issues would trigger outbursts. However, I didn't learn anything from him pertaining to native American life in Alaska. On my ward there was also a Native American named Reggie Hunt, but if I'm not mistaken, he was from Central (Warm Springs Reservation?) or Eastern Oregon, not Alaska. My first experience of Alaskan culture came in the hospital's main office, where my parents brought me to be admitted. The walls were hung with all kinds of native crafts, a lot of masks and suchlike. The aides were exceptional - reasonable, responsible, and approachable, some with wild senses of humor, which of course, immensely helped patients during their (in many cases) involuntary "incarceration". The aides never abused anyone and were extremely helpful in all ways. Discipline was maintained, but I believe always in tandem with communication with the doctors - i.e., no unilateral, "fascistic" decisions were made by the aides. One punitive measure I recall was being "put on restriction", which meant isolation from the rest of the community in the ward. Such patients would be permitted to attend the school, but were not allowed to return to the ward except at night for head-count and sleep. I recall one incident in which I was the only "innocent party" - and all the rest of the teens were put on restriction. It was a strange but exciting feeling for me to have my freedom, limited though it was, while all my peers were on off-ward restriction. Read More »

1909 Dixon Investigation Report
By Ellen | November 18, 2011
Henry Waldo Coe and his partners (the Sanitarium Company) began providing mental health care to Alaskans in 1904. Prior to winning their first contract, they operated Crystal Springs Sanitarium which provided care to private-pay patients. The pictures below show how the hospital changed as it morphed into Morningside Hospital, going from private-pay patients to government contract supported care of Alaskans. These images are from an October, 1909 investigation report on the care of Alaskan patients at Crystal Springs Sanitarium. The report, written by Edward W. Dixon, is from US Department of the Interior records at the National Archives II in College Station, MD. You can read the full report and see additional photos here - [Download not found]. The changes in the architecture are striking.

We're a Top 50 Hospital Blog!
By Ellen | May 27, 2010
This is old news, but the Morningside Hospital Blog was rated among the 50 best hospital blogs by healthcare blog, "Nurseblogger." This happened last September but I wasn't aware of it until I stumbled on it while doing Morningside research. I think we're probably the only blog about a hospital that no longer exists among the top 50.
Some of the other "Top 50" hospital blogs included:
- "Beyond Vermont State Hospital (VSH) Blog" in Vermont
- "Porter Adventist Hospital" in Colorado
- "Save Charity Hospital" in New Orleans, Louisiana
- "Knoxville Hospital and Clinics Blog" in Iowa
- "Lexington Medical Center" in South Carolina
- "OSF St. Joseph Medical Center: This is Health Care" in Bloomington, Illinois
- "Sutter Medical Center Castro Valley" in California
- "Virginia Hospital Center" in Arlington, Virginia
- "Children's Hospital and Health System" in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Christmas at Morningside Hospital
By Ellen | December 15, 2009
Among the few pictures of Morningside are a two taken at Christmas celebrations in the 1920s. The US Department of the Interior records included correspondence from Wayne Coe about the 1922 Morningside Hospital Christmas party and an accounting of the party and patient gift expenses. These two photos, which are from the Oregon Historical Society, were not dated but appear to be from the 1920s. The caption on the photo above is an account of the Christmas Festivities at Morningside from a Portland newspaper. "Morningside Hospital provided three Christmas trees for the inmates. Natives helped to provide the entertainment which was held in the Assembly room of the new Parole House. Gifts were provided for all the patients in the institution by Dr. Coe, the Chief Officer. After the exercises in the main hall the women retired to their own buildings where trees awaited them, while the men had their remembrances in the assembly room." The founder of Morningside Hospital, Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, is standing to the right of the Christmas tree. The photo above appears to be from the early to mid-1920s. Children were first admitted to Morningside at the end of 1922 or early 1923. Read More »

Three Amazing Days at the National Archives
By Ellen | August 18, 2009
Karen and I spent Wednesday through Friday of last week at the National Archives II in College Park, MD. After worrying that we wouldn't find any patients records, we found more than I imagined possible. Too much, in fact. They have nearly all of the Morningside Hospital patient lists from 1904 through the early 1950s, plus contracts, investigation reports, personnel records, medical officer reports, and administrative correspondence between Morningside and the Department of the Interior. We worked each day for 10 to 11 hours, scanning and copying. In the end, we had nearly a gig of scanned documents and photos and a 4 inch stack of copies. I don't think we made a dent in what's there.This presents us with an entirely new set of questions, the most important of which is how to handle this much information and make it readily available to families and other researchers. Over the next month, we're going to seek advice on the organization of historical collections and database design. In the meantime, we'll post more patient lists and articles on some of the more interesting information and photos we found in the files. Stay tuned.

We're off to the National Archvies!
By Ellen | August 3, 2009
Karen and I are headed to College Park, MD, next week to spend three days at the National Archives. Prior to statehood, the US Department of the Interior, Office of the Territories, contracted with Morningside Hospital for the care of Alaskans with mental illnesses. The federal records for these years are at the National Archives. We are very excited about two record groups in particular: Letters Received and Related Records concerning the Alaskan Insane, compiled 1900-1911: This series consists of letters received, copies of contracts, telegrams, vouchers, lists of patients, and other records. Some of the correspondence refers to policy, but most of it concerns the custody and care of mental patients, discharge of cured individuals, and related topics. Record Group 126, Records of the Office of the Territories: This record group includes 26 boxes pertaining to the care of the insane in Alaska. The records will undoubtedly provide more information about the operation of Morningside Hospital and its relationship with the federal government. Of course, our greatest hope is that the boxes at the National Archives contain patient lists. If the patient lists are not there, we're out of ideas and pretty much at a deadend. Please contact us if there are particular records that interest you. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.

A History of Morningside Hospital
By Ellen | July 25, 2009
From "The East Portland Historical Overview and Historic Preservation Study" published by the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (March 2009) "For nearly sixty years, Morningside Hospital sat on a 47-acre parcel in Hazlewood, at the junction of SE Stark Street and 96th Avenue. Formerly agricultural land, the site was developed as a psychiatric hospital complex and working farm in 1910. After WWII, many of the farmers in the surrounding area retired and their land was developed into suburban communities. The rising population increased consumer demand and the under-construction interstate freeway promised easy access; in 1970 the site was redeveloped as Mall 205. The hospital, founded in 1899 by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, was originally run out of his family's home. In 1905, Coe purchased the Massachusetts Building from the Lewis and Clark Exposition and moved it from the exposition site in NW Portland to Mt. Tabor, where it was converted into a psychiatric hospital. Five years later, Dr. Coe moved Read More »

1920 US Census Data Added
By iiAdmin | July 9, 2009
The 1920 US Census data has been posted and added to the Wall of Names. The Census data is interesting in that it contains information that our other lists do not, including birthplace, marital status, literacy, race, and mother tongue, all of which will be helpful to researchers tracking down family history. This was a hand-written document that had to be transcribed into a spreadsheet, we've done our best to ensure the data was copied accurately, but there may be typos. You can view these lists here: 1920 US Census When we posted the 1955 Department of the Interior Report, we pointed out some names that appeared on both that list and the Wickersham Papers. With the addition of the 1920 US Census list there are even more names that appear on multiple lists, helping to fill out the profile of some Morningside patients. Read More »

Longtime South Austin Tex-Mex staple Tres Amigos will close at 1807 W. Slaughter Lane at the end of the month, and a new Tex-Mex restaurant with new ownership will move into the space.
DK Maria�s Legendary Tex-Mex, which is owned and operated by Mike and DK Reynolds and Bruce and Mary Evans, plans to �keep the lively vibe that Tres Amigos fans have grown to know and love,� the owners said in a release.
Mike Reynolds and Bruce Evans, who named the restaurant after their wives, are both native Austinites with experience in the restaurant industry. Reynolds was a part of the ownership group at the former downtown sushi restaurant Kenichi and Evans�is a partner at Cooper�s BBQ on Congress Avenue.
Tres Amigos was originally founded on Loop 360 in 1978 and expanded to several locations, but has downsized over the past couple of years. The original closed in 2015 to much fanfare, and with the closing of the Slaughter Lane location, the only Tres Amigos remaining is at 7535 U.S. 290.
Partners�Don Burdett and Bobby Steiner (of Steiner Ranch Steakhouse) are close to opening a new Tex-Mex restaurant, Vaquero�s, on Loop 360 in the original Tres Amigos spot, though a representative for the owners said no opening date has been set.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
NASA may only consume 0.5 percent of the federal budget, but it generates practically all of Uncle Sam's viral marketing buzz. Never was that more apparent than on Monday morning following the successful Mars landing of Curiosity, the biggest and most advanced spacecraft ever dispatched to another planet. In an explosion of tweets, Tumbls, status updates, and blog posts, the Internet showed its love of NASA in a way other parts of the government could only dream of. So what's NASA's secret?
The personalities Obviously NASA gets to go to space, so that kind of puts them at an advantage to, say, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but that's not its only strong suit! Those geeky, industrious, short-sleeve shirt-wearing scientists are a huge factor. And who could anticipate the surprise role of Bobak Ferdowsi (nee "Mohawk Guy"), NASA's activity lead who gets a new hairdo for each mission? As millions tuned into the live stream and saw his wild do, Ferdowsi became an instant symbol of rebellious nerd cool, a vibe that turned into a meme as The Atlantic's Megan Garber pointed out this morning:
But while, Ferdowsi deserves style points for his do, his colleagues deserve props for their unadulterated enthusiasm following those two sacred words "touchdown confirmed." Nothing greases the wheels of viral momentum than a little self congratulatory fist-pumping, high-fiving and bro-slaps to get the ball rolling. The video ricochetted across the Internet hundreds of thousands of times over:
The viral web strategy So you've got the best cast and crew you could ask for, but you still need a top notch delivery system. This is where NASA really excelled. With scarcely few problems, the NASA live stream provided a window for the entire world to see its success. That's easier said than done, as Gigaom's Derrick Harris reports. NASA battle-tested its live stream with an application-testing specialist called SOASTA which ensured that the stream would continue despite demand spikes and server fails. "SOASTA tests the traffic load applications can handle by generating cloud-computing-based resources that mimic the traffic generated by potentially millions of simultaneous real-world users," Harris writes. As a result of a lot of tweaking, they were able to ensure that even a single implementation of its application stack could handle 25 Gigabits per second of web traffic. That meant that you could watch it from the comforts of your own home or in the middle of Times Square without any problems:
In addition to the live feed, NASA's own social media team was killing it last night, tweeting out fun facts, observations and photos of the red planet captured by Curiosity. Kudos to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's @NASAJPL, @MarsCuriosity and social media editor Veronica McGregor (@VeronicaMcG). Here's the team bringing their A-game:
The mission Obviously, other arms of government draw viral attention for incidents now and again (think the U.S. soliders spoofing Lady Gaga), but that's a routine-breaking stunt. Last night, NASA was just doing its job. And for an arm of government, doing your job is either thankless (when was the last time anyone celebrated the Congressional Budget Office's timely scoring of a House budget bill?) or worse (TSA agents groping you at the airport). But the nature of NASA's mission, exploring the unknown, has a distinctly unifying quality to it. Sure, NASA may be subject to partisan budget battles, but following last night's landing, liberals and conservatives were one as both the Center for American Progress and the Heritage Foundation passed along the good news. The fact of the matter is, in NASA, the feds have their one true well-oiled viral hit factory, and last night, they didn't let us down.

I have never look at the compiler code, but I think than doing the test "is_float" is quite easy, and after that the compiler can assume that the argument is float and thus it can use the dedicated instruction of the machine ... I'm not so clear about what really happens but I imagine than more the compiler has constraints more it can optimize the production of code.

Virgin of Liverpool
Joanne Conlon's local church are replacing their statue of the Virgin Mary. Joanne is appalled as her grandmother claims she once saw this statue cry. She takes the Madonna home. But her father, Frank, has just been sacked. Joanne's mother, Sylvia becomes an instant success as a bingo caller, but Frank is furious - shouldn't he be the breadwinner?
Joanne's Aunt Doreen places the statue inside her chip shop. That evening the statue cries once more. Now people come from miles to see the miracle! The local priest offers to take the statue back home. It doesn't stay in the church long. When the back of the statue's head comes off a sponge falls out. Doreen had 'encouraged' the Virgin to cry so she could sell more chips!
Sylvia is offered a singing assignment, but Frank forbids it. His anger and jealousy boil over. He throws the statue into the Mersey. Sylvia jumps in after it. Frank jumps in to save his wife, forgetting he can't swim. Husband, wife and mother of God are all saved by emergency helicopter.
Joanne finds the perfect home for the icon, on the grave of her grandmother. As the Virgin stands on the grave the icon starts to cry - all by herself!

Gentle Yoga
12:15pm - 1:00pm EDT May 16
Location: Stone Recreation Center, Multipurpose Room
The focus of each Gentle Yoga session is to provide a pause in your day that enables you to find rest, release and calm in the body and mind.
In Gentle Yoga we will practice meditation/mindfulness by paying attention to the sensations within the body, espeically the sensation of breath. We will move the spine in six different directions and the hips in two different directions in order to find balance of flexibility and strength within our bodies. One of the staples of our practice together will be the half sun-salutation, where we will work to find synchronicity between our breath and our movement.
Free and open to the public

glenn criddle | cynical celluloid | january 2017
Catching a midnight screening of the latest Star Wars film is a fun experience. An enthusiastic audience, a couple of costumes and a smattering of light-sabers and a tired but excited reviewer who hopes he can make it through without drifting off into the world of nod before the film gets to the good parts.
The kookily titled 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' is not directly part of the main story line. Picking up before the events of the retroactively named Episode 4: A New Hope we're introduced to Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and her family, who are furtively living the quiet life, farming and trying to keep themselves to themselves, but an unexpected visitor sees Jyn go on the run as her father (Mads Mikkelsen) is taken away to work for the empire. All grown up, she goes in search of her father only to find out that the project he was working on turns out to be a far more important mission. Joining up with the rebel alliance and armed with the knowledge that this will mean the difference between life and death for her companions and the free universe, she heads off to steal the plans for the Empire's most terrifying weapon.
Rogue One is a patchy affair. The opening half hour is rather prone to bouncing around and setting things up as quickly as possible and as a result, it can be a bit distracting in how it jitters around a bit too much, even for the initiated. I think it's fair to say that Rogue One is primarily a film for fans of the original films and it feels like it.
Relying on the knowledge of the viewers, who are likely to fill in the gaps, the story constantly refers to what is effectively our fore-knowledge of the originals' events. This is to an extent that I would be a concerned that those who haven't seen the original trilogy may be left out a bit too much. The problem is that for those that are equipped with the relevant knowledge, the film can be all too predictable. I found myself almost counting down to the numerous references and cameos and man, there are a ton of cameos, to the point of evoking nostalgia for the sake of it.
Of course, one of the challenges of doing a true prequel is casting actors for filling the roles of the familiar characters and it's not much of a spoiler to use Grand Moff Tarkin as an example. The role, originally filled by the iconic Peter Cushing in the original Star wars, is filled by a CG stand-in that, in many ways, is quite impressive but is at the same time, well, not quite right. It looks almost elusively "off.†The expressions of the digital face almost seem a little glitchy and exaggerated, with that CG quality that always just falls short of being entirely convincing. Don't get me wrong, it's very impressive, but somehow it really catches the eye when it doesn't quite work, as it does with a few other examples in the film, most notably in the closing seconds when an entirely predictable cameo pops on screen.
Predictability is probably this film's weakest point of course. That's to be expected considering the film's premise and the fact that, like I say, this is very heavily weighted to fans. Despite this, though, there is a feeling of consequence to the film. There are not many moments of the core story that feel cheap, despite the fact that we know where this is all going, and that, in its own right, is an impressive achievement. Considering this film's premise is based on what was an almost throwaway line in Episode 4, it manages to fill out what was an important part of the Star Wars history. And it's a dark history. Much was made of Rogue One's re-shoots because of its tone and it's obvious where these changes are. Make no mistake, this is not a happy story, as was explained in Episode 4, "A lot of good people died to get us this information†and they do. Given the weight of the mission, we see an execution of an informant by rebel operatives and a lot of main characters head six feet under. It's a moral ambiguity that's rather rare in Hollywood and the film is better for it, but thanks to some preview feedback, the film is littered with inappropriate and crow-barred-in one liners where it doesn't need them. This is a shame, it distracts and detracts from what the film is doing and a more natural humor would have been less of a problem.
One of the main providers of comedy is the C-3PO stand-in K-2SO, seriously, he has the same delivery and nearly the same voice and while he's a fairly welcome break from what is otherwise a fairly serious tone, this, unfortunately, crosses over into blatant comedy punch lines.
And this is how the film is. It all too often, and rather jarringly, jostles with different ideas and needs. It's inconsistent and that's not just down to the tone adjustments, it's down to things like it being obsessive about the original plot holes (the Death Star exhaust vent "take me†button).
But let's finish up with some positive things. Rogue One is an important part of the original backstory, it's a story worthy of attention, and it's handled in many ways really well. There is an air of poignancy to what happens that even the original films struggled to achieve, things happen that add weight to the events in A New Hope; it's complimentary. And that's probably the best way to look at this film. As a stand-alone film, it's only partially successful, but as a part of the series, it adds some weight and detail that flesh things out nicely. Not one for the uninitiated, not one for the kids particularly, but if you're a fan of the series then it's an interesting and worthy diversion into the previously unexplored backstory. This is certainly the prequel we deserved rather than the abysmal episodes 1-3 and it'll be dissected to within an inch of its life, no doubt dividing the audience and highlighting plenty of nitpicks, but on the whole, certainly worth a watch.
He's British so forgive the extra U's and the use of the letter S instead of Z. If there's one thing that typifies Glenn's writing it's the 'Video Nasties,' a long list of movies that offended all and sunder during the 1980s in the UK. It's those seemingly offensive fringes of cinema that informed his writing on cinema and the more political area of censorship with a more sympathetic approach to those films that push the limits of taste. But don't worry, he does talk about normal stuff too and isn't likely to go off on a horror movie fuelled rampage.

The worldwide reach of TV has given engine dashing aficionados a chance to see both the customary European-based Formula One rivalry and in addition the Indy arrangement long well known in the USA. Recipe One dashing has dependably been on tracks that incorporate the greater part of the highlights of common engine streets, particularly tight twists and direct slopes, while Indy hustling was for a long time kept to extraordinary race tracks shaped in an oval with managed an account bends at each end. Since 2005, be that as it may, Indy dashing has progressively incorporated a few occasions on street and road courses and these have come to prevail with just around 33% of races now occurring on oval tracks. In this regard, the two engine sports appear to have turned out to be all the more similar, yet the difference between Formula One and Indy dashing on the oval track remains.
From an European point of view, don in the USA as a rule appears to watch out for the quick and astounding, though Europeans, the British particularly, appreciate longer slower rivalries with discontinuous activity. The complexity is maybe most stark when contrasting baseball and cricket. So it is by all accounts with engine dashing, with the oval track in the USA permitting ceaseless close to full scale speed, and the tight bends and chicanes of Formula One conveying the autos nearly to rest, as, at the Monaco Grand Prix occasion held yearly around the thin roads of the realm.
Indy dashing on the oval track absolutely displays a remarkable scene. The wide track enables a few autos to race one next to the other and there is a lot of chance for overwhelming. With the drivers keeping up level out speed, the race depends basically on motor power. Everything looks exceptionally hazardous, and this no uncertainty is the substance of its allure. Accidents, when they happen, frequently include different vehicles and are some of the time repulsive. Luckily, with present day security highlights, fatalities and genuine wounds have been greatly decreased and this is a progress shared by Formula One.
Recipe One is less unmistakable to the observer and the watcher at home. Just toward the beginning of the race would all be able to the autos be seen together. For whatever is left of the race, the autos go all through view in twos, fours. Without a consistent analysis it winds up difficult to know who is winning, as passing autos are soon observed to be on various laps of the race. Also, though on the oval track the race pioneer is quite often in see, in Formula One the TV cameras appear to overlook the main auto and focus rather on nearly battled fights for fourth place or ninth place in the expectation of recording an uncommon surpassing. Equation One shows a more troublesome test to TV, a test shared by Indy on-road races. For the individuals who need shear exhibition on TV there is nothing to contrast with the oval track.

Last year the term 'orphanage tourism' made its way deeper into the public conscience when author J. K. Rowling took to twitter to confront those in the voluntourism industry who had reached out to her. She stated, very simply, why she could never support this kind of tourism:
"#Voluntourism is one of drivers of family break up in very poor countries. It incentivises 'orphanages' that are run as businesses"
Later in the year Rowling and actor Eddie Redmayne used the opening of the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to speak to a captivated audience about the fight to end the institutionalization of children around the world. Using their position in the public eye, they are continuing the narrative of child protection started by hundreds of NGOs worldwide.
The sad truth is that, however well intentioned we are when we travel, we can never know the full story. The most shocking fact of all when it comes to orphanage tourism, according to Rowling's charitable and research organisation Lumos, is that 90% of children in institutions are not orphans at all.
Unchecked volunteer opportunities and orphanages are continuing to pop up across Asia as a means of making money through the exploitation of children. By taking advantage of both poor families and philanthropic travellers, these organisations often take children from their homes and perpetuate the cycle of poverty by keeping them away from safety, schooling and opportunities.
As discerning travellers you may already know that 1 day of volunteering or a 3 hour orphanage visit is not going to make an impact. You may also know that these actions can even cause harm in the short term.
But what CAN you do to make a positive difference?
Giving back when you travel is not only achieved through long-term volunteer positions, working for a charity or extravagant cash donations.
In this article we'll outline 4 alternatives to orphanage tourism that you can achieve right now. There are numerous simple ways you can make a difference in ways that you probably hadn't thought of.
Wine and Dine
Wait, is it really that simple? Yes, even your dinner choices can impact a life. And we've all got to eat, right? Throughout Asia you can find restaurants that run as training centers for disadvantaged youth and give proceeds back to the community. Choosing to visit one of these restaurants will make a contribution to increasing the skilled workforce of a local community; keeping teenagers and young adults off the streets and reducing unemployment in rural areas.
We introduced you to a few of these social enterprises in this guide to Siem Reap.
You can read more about KOTO, Vietnam's first social enterprise training restaurant, here.
OR visit Friends International for more restaurants and other social businesses across South East Asia.
The Right Company
If you choose to plan your travels through a company – whether for transfers, hotels, tours or all of the above – make sure you choose the right one. Companies affiliated with organisations like Child Safe and Friends International, are actively pursuing and improving child protection daily.
For example, at Buffalo Tours we have helped train our tour guides and drivers to be vigilant about child welfare while on the road with guests, with procedures in place to help when it is needed.
Community Based Tourism
The main goal of truly child-centric child welfare organisations should be to keep children in safe and loving homes. Therefore, if you want to spend time with local people, visit homes rather than institutions.
Take the time to visit places practicing community-based tourism, where the whole community is invested in how they interact with, and make an income from, visiting tourists. With options for workshops, family-style lunches and overnight homestays, you can connect with the whole family. This way the money earned from your tour is given to parents wanting the best for their children and community.
The Right Way to Donate
A typical element of orphanage tourism is to bring along a gift of some kind, whether that be a bag of rice, school supplies or cash. But, just as there is a right way to volunteer there is also a right way to donate.
Research organisations on the ground that are working with disadvantaged peoples and have a stellar reputation. If there is an area that has touched your heart, find a project that has already been thoroughly researched and developed and then offer cash or supplies, safe in the knowledge that your money is reaching those who need it. And, if you would prefer to donate supplies, then first make sure they are needed items and then buy them locally to support local businesses too.
At Buffalo Tours a portion of the profits from our community based tourism initiatives already goes into a community fund for development projects, but you can also choose to make an extra donation. For example, our Happy Library Project in Na Chao uses donations to bring students Vietnamese books, and culturally appropriate English books, rather than unsuitable hand-me-downs.

Atrial Fibrillation Registry for Ankle-brachial Index Prevalence Assessment: Collaborative Italian Study. (ARAPACIS)
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained dysrhythmia encountered in clinical practice in North America and Europe, accounting for approximately one-third of all hospitalizations for a cardiac rhythm abnormality. The presence of AF markedly increases the patient's risk for developing arterial embolism and stroke, depending on the presence of other clinical conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes. AF is associated with a fivefold increased risk for stroke, and is estimated to cause 15% of all strokes.
Patients with AF frequently have several risk factors for atherosclerosis, including hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Accordingly, systemic signs of atherosclerosis can be detected in AF patients, and these likely accounts for an enhanced risk of coronary heart disease. In addition to cerebrovascular disease, patients with AF may suffer from coronary events including myocardial infarction (MI), but the rate of MI in AF patients seems to be variable, but often underestimated.
Moreover, coexistence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a relevant clinical sign of systemic atherosclerosis.
Ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a simple, inexpensive, and non-invasive PAD measurement, even at the pre-symptomatic phase when intervention can improve prognosis and prevent or delay severe complications ABI is calculated by measuring the systolic blood pressure in the posterior tibial and/or the dorsalis pedis arteries either in both legs or 1 leg chosen at random (using a Doppler probe or alternative pulse sensor), with the lowest ankle pressure then divided by the brachial systolic blood pressure. In addition to peripheral artery disease, the ABI also is an indicator of generalized atherosclerosis because lower levels have been associated with higher rates of concomitant coronary and cerebrovascular disease, and with the presence of cardiovascular risk factors.
Two large studies in patients with AF document the existence of PAD in about 3-5% of patients. It is possible, however, that such an incidence has been underestimated as only symptomatic patients were considered as affected by PAD. As PAD is an important marker of systemic atherosclerosis, its association with AF reinforces the concept that patients with AF have systemic atherosclerosis that potentially account for coronary complications.
To date, a national registry of AF patients is not available to verify the real impact of cardiovascular events in this clinical setting.

|Atrial Fibrillation Peripheral Vascular Disease
Study design: Prospective longitudinal study
Methods and Materials: The investigators planned to assess at baseline and at scheduled follow up visits :
- Ankle-Brachial Index measurement
- Anamnestic clinical information and Anthropometric measurements
- Echocardiogram (volume size), electrocardiogram (AF type)
- Outcome events such as nonfatal or fatal acute myocardial infarction, target lesion or vessel revascularization nonfatal or fatal ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, death from any cardiac or vascular cause, death from any cause Study duration: 3 years follow-up Statistical methods: The prevalence will be calculated by exact confidence intervals (Wilson method). The cumulative incidence will be calculated by the product-limit estimator of Kaplan-Meyer and presented with confidence intervals at 95%. The incidences and prevalences will be then adjusted through appropriate multivariate analysis (using the Cox proportional hazards model and logistic model) that will take into account the effect of potential confounders. Similarly, the effect-center presence will be checked and possibly removed. Secondary endpoints will be assessed by using Log-rank test method, and by the Cox model (with time-dependent effects) multivariate analysis.
Subgroups analysis will be also conducted for patients with first onset of AF or recurrent AF Sample size: The investigators plan to include in the study n = 3,000 AF patients, with competitive recruitment between centers involved in the study. The sample size was calculated assuming an expected prevalence of 19% at time zero, and in order to obtain a confidence interval 95% to prevail at time zero whose distance from the edge is less than or equal to 1.4%. This sample size yields a power greater than 99.9% for the secondary endpoint, assuming an event rate of 19% for patients with ABI <=0.9, and 10% for patients with ABI >0.9.An interim analysis showed an ABI prevalence, calculated by exact confidence intervals, of 21% in patients with AF, it is considered to interrupt the enrollment, as the observed prevalence is greater than two percentage points higher than that assumed. The sample size is amended as follows: a sample of 2027 patients leads to the expected prevalence of 21% with a confidence interval width of 3.5. This sample size has no impact on the power of the secondary objective.

The one problem with riding Lake Minnewanka is that it's an out and back. And it's a busy and out back, popular with hikers and bikers alike.
And so when we rode out, and reached the cabin, I was happy to keep going, and put off the return journey. I'd never ridden past the cabin before (it's at 15km, and makes for a nice 30km round trip) and Minnewanka was in great late season condition.
And so we got up towards the end of the lake. The terrain becomes more technical, and it's much harder to ride everything. There was almost no deadfall though.
A couple of big wash outs from the 2013 floods were slow going, but as we drew closer to the end of the lake, I realised that I really wanted to keep riding. I only had one bottle of water with me though, nearly empty, and just one bar left.
Thankfully I have friends who come oversupplied, and I stocked up on both water and food, and even managed to convince Danika to come along with me. Meanwhile, I passed on Alex's phone number, so he would get the heads up that I might phone begging for a lift when we emerged into cell service at the other side of the ride.
And so the two of us set off into the semi-unknown.
There were two creek crossings ahead of us. The first was at the end of the lake, where you cross onto the south side of the river. It ended up being the deepest, at mid thigh, and bracingly cold.
From there, we were onto well-travelled horse trails, much more well defined than the eastern Lake Minnewanka trail, but also much muddier, much more rutted, and much more inclined to have snow due to the aspect.
But it didn't really take long at all to get through that section, then we were out onto double track, then crossing out of the Banff National Park and into the Ghost Wilderness Area – where civilization quickly caught up with us, with 4WDs wandering about, and groups camping everywhere.
The second river crossing was a breeze, and soon we were pedalling up the big hill, onto fairly well-travelled gravel roads.
Well-travelled gravel roads that were covered with snow and ice for kilometres on end! But still fun to be exploring new terrain, and a thoroughly worthwhile adventure, although I'd still like to ride the full loop from home.
And for reference – there's cell service on and off for most of the ride, definitely far more than we were expecting anyway. And we were picked up about 10km shy of reaching the 1A, to make for a 66km ride an an unexpectedly long day.

Exercising encompasses body movements and lifting weights so as to keep a strong body structure. Exercising involves walking, running and dancing to name a few.
Working out can help your brain better control your body hormone control such as by relieving stress.When working out, the brain is actively involved in the process of muscle contraction and relaxation thus engaging the mind to other situations at hand. A combination of exercising and and a proper diet can actually make a huge difference and reduce the chances of obesity to human beings.Exercising improves the general body outlook from an obese human being to a strong cute person.
Exercising keeps peoples' bones and muscles strong and athletic in nature. Strong people have a good working sexual reproductive system which can be good to keep the intimacy between a husband and a wife. Regular exercising can help the aging generation keep their bones and muscles strong.
Looking On The Bright Side of Resources
People who regularly exercise are at a better chance of living longer and reducing the chances of being heavily affected by terminal diseases. High sugar blood levels can arise as a result of lack of regular exercise and thus increasing the risk of diabetes infection.
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Fitness? This May Help
Proper work outs can help an individual have young looks even after growing old but the skin remaining smooth and without strechmarks.Exercising promotes blood supply to a person's brain thus improving his brain capacity and performance. Exercising causes the whole body to get tired and exhausted thus sleeping becomes an instant thing when one lays on that bed. Keeping a proper weight balance and enjoying proper sleep are some of the benefits that one can gain from regular exercise.
A person will have to forget about monthly or weekly membership fees which could be very expensive if accounted for cumulatively. Chances of contacting and exposing yourself to these toxic bacteria that could come from another equipment user in a gym is avoided hence it caters for your health and hygiene.The user will have the discretion to turn the machine at any time of the day or night.
Equipment can be of big size or a small size but it will all depend on the size of your home gym and your preference to keep healthy.Some equipment are better used commercially due to their technicalities in use.
