As Vice President of the United States under Barack Obama, Joe Biden served 8 years as one of the most important politicians in America. Prior to holding the Vice Presidency, Biden served several terms as a senator representing the State of Delaware. It was during his time as a senator that he required surgery for not one, but two brain aneurysms. The first aneurysm had ruptured, putting him in a life or death situation. Doctors saved his life and the recovery from his brain surgeries is simply astonishing. His ability to succeed at the highest levels of government after these aneurysms is truly inspirational. Below are a few news articles documenting his surgeries:

Marlon James, author of the Booker Prize–winning novel A Brief History of Seven Killings, can write almost anywhere. Except, he says, in his own apartment. "I have a fully functional office at home that I've never stepped into. It has a computer. It has a printer. It has a scanner. And it has cobwebs." Instead, the Kingston, Jamaica-born writer bikes 10 minutes to his workspace in Minneapolis's Stevens Square, where he keeps some of his most inspiration-sparking books—from speculative fiction by Ursula K. Le Guin to Aeschylus's The Oresteia—and the walls are lined with research for his forthcoming Dark Star trilogy, an epic fantasy that takes place in an ancient, otherworldly Africa. The much-anticipated first book, Black Leopard, Red Wolf, follows a wily, solitary mercenary known as Tracker, as he embarks on a quest to find a missing boy—and along the way picks up a posse of comrades and enemies, including a shape-shifting man-animal and a terrifying pair of flesh-eating monsters, respectively. Here, we talk about the importance of perspective, the joys of Star Wars and X-Men, and why it pays to have smart friends.
Vanity Fair: Each of the books in the trilogy tells the same general story, but from three divergent perspectives. When you first conceived of the series, did you know who those narrators were going to be?
Marlon James: No, I didn't. In fact, I didn't know what the three perspectives were going to be until I was on the phone with Melina Matsoukas. She's a director—she directs a lot of Beyoncé videos, and she directed Insecure. She was talking about The Affair, the TV show. At that point, I knew I wanted to tell a trilogy, but I didn't know who was going to tell what. When we were talking, she mentioned The Affair, and how the structure of it is set up. The man's version and the woman's version don't add up—even skirt length is different in the different versions. In the man's version, it's above the knee; in the woman's version, it's below the knee. She was saying, "This is a great idea for a TV show." I'm like, "Forget the TV show. That sounds like a novel."
For me, characters always show up first, before I know what their stories are. A hundred years ago, I would have probably [been] committed to an asylum. I honestly have no idea why they show up in my head. And then I usually stumble on ideas. I write by trial and error—I will write a hundred pages a night. A lot of my writing, I realize, is writing until something feels right. Which means a lot of wasted pages.
Is that something that you've had to learn to come to terms with?
Oh, absolutely. That is a hard thing to come to terms with. I wrote 500 pages of a kids' novel—and put it down because it was so bad! But I couldn't stop. I called a friend of mine and said, "If I'm writing 500 pages and don't like a single character, should I stop?" He was like, "Step away from the laptop."
It's good to have friends like that. Tough love.
I don't understand reclusive offers. If ever I become a recluse, my fiction career would dry up the next day. Because if I wasn't talking to Melina, I don't think I'd have gotten the concept for this. My previous novel, I had dinner with my friend Rachel, and I said, "I don't know whose story this is." And she said, "Why do you think it's one person's story?" And the novel before that, I'm like, "Yeah, it's slaves." And my friend Rashida talked to me about matrilineal society. If I didn't have all these women I'm talking to giving me all my fiction ideas, I really wouldn't have any books.

Overhead on non-profits
August 14, 2012
Summary of study from GreyMatter: New research shows the average American believes it is reasonable for non-profit organizations to spend 23 cents out of every dollar on overhead expenses such as fundraising or administration. However, 62% believe non-profits typically spend more than is reasonable for overhead, and the average American estimates spending on overhead at 37 cents on the dollar for the typical non-profit organization. Over a third of Americans believe non-profits typically spend at least half of their money on overhead. More

Horse Discovers Just How Snuggly Little Humans Can Be

YouTube/mamicano1

People come in all shapes and sizes, but often it's the smallest among us who have the most love to give.
A video making the rounds on Facebook this week captures that fact better than most. The clip, uploaded by Mami Cano, shows the unforgettable moment a kindly brown horse made the acquaintance of a little human child. Bubbly as she may be, the horse shows the utmost patience and an openness to her snuggly affection.
Despite the differences in their species, the pair seem to share an innocent bond of love and trust - the likes of which many of us grown-ups can only hope to achieve.

AIG Raises $17.8 Billion with Hong Kong IPO
AIG placed 7.03 billion shares at HK$19.68 a share, Bloomberg News said. The shares sold represent a 58% stake in the unit, AIA.
The insurer received tens of billions of dollars from the federal government and the Federal Reserve after racking up huge losses insuring securities such as mortgage-backed bonds.
Today's deal is the largest IPO in Hong Kong's history.
"AIA attracted a diversified group of investors including Asia-focused funds and local investors," Derek Mok, a fund manager at Guotai Junan Asset Asia, told Bloomberg News.

|From a 1912 performance of Jedermann
While I was most engaged by the morality play, I also relished discovering the other performances on the disc. The Two Serious Melodies (opus 77) were not wallowed in, or treated with sentimentality. I found the rendition of Laetare anima mea to be very poignant, taken with nice phrasing, tempi that never dragged, and no schmaltz (not a given in recordings of the work, in my experience.) Ab imo pectore was given with an aptly deep sense of yearning. ("Devotion?" English translators, you have much to answer for.) In memoriam was similarly performed without any lugubriousness; the piece's solemnity felt meditative, rather than heavy-handed. And that, in a piece so iconic, is no small gift.

Vision and Values
Our Vision
A viable world of justice and solidarity.
A viable world, where conditions allow sustainability and development.
A principle of sustainable development: A situation is " viable " if economic and ecological conditions are guaranteed in the long term.
A just world, based on justice and equity.
In both interpersonal relationships and international relations, the rights and interests of all must be recognized and respected.
A world of solidarity, which recognizes that our interests are shared.
We live on this Earth, in our societies and in our communities together. A commitment to solidarity is a commitment to seek out a community and international dynamic that recognizes that the prosperity and happiness of some does not negate the prosperity and happiness of others. On the contrary, we seek to develop them together.
Our Values
Proof of SUCO's focus on this value is evident in the first letter of its acronym. Solidarity is at the core of the relationship between its mission and the concerns that drive it. Firm believers in the advantages and benefits that come from partnerships, we work to maximize North-South/South-South strategic alliances and mutual contributions. We want to stimulate openness to partnership networks that promote different points of view and experiences and expand the bases of sustainable development.
Social justice
SUCO works to combat inequalities and exclusions of any kind. We value social relationships based on trust and mutual respect, which are essential to knowledge sharing, social peace and individual and community well-being. Our approach is flexible and respectful of the people who make up our organization, just as it is of all other parts of society, here and abroad.
SUCO has turned this value into its mantra. We place citizen participation, respect for the interests of social groups and collective management at the source of any development initiative by ensuring that everyone participates in decision-making, acts and takes ownership with full knowledge of the common goals. Our long-term vision is autonomy for those communities receiving organizational, technical and economic support, all the while respecting social and environmental issues. Dialogue, transparency and the effective circulation of information are essential components of accountability and constructive democratization.
Gender Equality
For SUCO, women and men must live with dignity because they are equal and they must have the same rights and privileges. In order to achieve this, we work to establish conditions for the practice of gender equality, to make women's needs and interests "visible" and to ensure the full participation of women as key partners throughout the process of transforming society both socially and economically.
SUCO believes in respecting the commitments made as part of its mission, as it believes in communities respecting their commitments with respect to their development. We favour the establishment of professional ethics based on clearly defined roles and functions, accountability and alignment of priorities with those of the country and region in question as well as local public institutions or civil society organizations working for the well-being of communities. We make every effort to increase the effectiveness of aid and to manage human, financial, material and environmental resources wisely.
Respect for Diversity
In its actions, SUCO recognizes and takes into account the diverse manifestations of identity, culture and knowledge of the communities in which it operates.
SUCO Also Promotes Sharing Experiences
Experiences in international development also deserve to be recognized and shared, as they spring from investments made by men and women in their collective future. We believe that it is necessary to develop knowledge and best practices, not just to take advantage of them ourselves but also to share them with other organizations. This is why innovative practices, lessons learned from different approaches, methodologies and actions that deliver results will be considered out of a concern for sustainability and reproducibility of knowledge and skills.

A.J. Pierzynski was one of the Red Sox' biggest offseason additions, signed to a one-year deal to start behind the plate.
Pierzynski and David Ross will form a quality 1-2 punch at catcher with their solid defense, leadership and championship experience. Pierzynski knows the American League very well as a former member of the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers, and his desire to add another World Series title to his resume should help him make a smooth transition to the Red Sox clubhouse.
Check out the video above to watch NESN's Jerry Remy analyze the Pierzynski signing.

A Daytona Beach assisted living facility was recently forced to shut its doors to new residents after an investigation found that administrators failed to report two instances of abuse at Ocean View Manor. The facility may not be the only one in which elder abuse goes unreported, bringing to light how important it is for families to question signs of abuse and neglect, and what steps to take if you suspect it's happening.
Residents in a Medicare and/or Medicaid-certified home do have certain rights and protections under federal and state laws, including rights to be free from abuse and neglect. If a resident feels he/she has been mistreated or the nursing home isn't meeting his/her needs, they are encouraged to report this to the nursing home administrator. Administrators have five working days to report to proper authorities, fill out a complaint form, and address the issues promptly.
Daytona Beach Practice Areas
|Overtime & Wage Attorneys
|Mesothelioma Lawyers
|Insurance Disputes
|Whistleblower Attorneys
|Sinkhole Claims
|Birth Injuries
But this was not the case at Ocean View Manor, where a former cook was seen several times by staff and visitors in a "compromising position" with a resident in December 2015. When approached by the administrator, the cook and resident both said he was treating the elderly woman with a topical cream. The administrator failed to take further action, according to a news report.
During another visit by the Agency for Healthcare Administration in April, a resident reported that the same cook had "threatened to beat me up when I asked for milk." The AHCA soon found that the Daytona Beach facility in question had no written policy and procedures on recognizing abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Common Signs and Solutions
While experts note nursing home abuse and neglect statistics lag behind fields such as child abuse and domestic violence by two decades, research that does exist points to a continued increase and that these incidents are often underreported. In a study by the NCEA, 44 percent of 2,000 residents interviewed reported they had been abused, while 95 percent said they had been neglected or seen another resident neglected.
There are various signs that point to elder abuse inside nursing homes, ranging from physical and sexual abuse to exploitation and emotional abuse. Common signs of abuse include bruises, pressure marks, burns, bed sores, poor hygiene, and unusual weight loss, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration on Aging.
Other signs include unexplained withdrawals from normal activities, bruises around the breasts or genital areas, strained or tense relationships with the caregiver, and sudden change in alertness.
Because the elderly are the least likely to report elder or nursing home abuse, it is important for families to be alert of such incidents. Should you notice changes in your family member's personality or behavior, seek help.
The first step to take when suspecting abuse is to immediately report it. Whether it is to the facility's administrators or an agency, such as Adult Protective Services, which handles abuse, neglect, exploitation, and self-neglect through a hotline.
It's also important that friends and family members visit on a regular basis to keep tabs on how the senior is doing. This also offers a chance to give the caregiver a break. Lastly, you can take legal action if your loved one is a victim of abuse and neglect. To learn more about abuse and neglect, and what an attorney at Morgan & Morgan can do for you, visit our nursing home and elder abuse page.

text: kiwigirl #26 Posted November 6, 2016 Thank you again SarniaLo. Yes, we will be going roundtrip from Bergen. Great information about the car deck. If you board the ship in Bergen, there is a check-in process a bit like in an airport and your luggage will be delivered to your cabin (maybe in Kirkenes as well, but I'm not sure). If you board in another port you need to carry your bag on board but if you have difficulties with that someone on the ship will help you, just ask. The car deck in itself does not generate a lot of noise, you might hear noise from the cargo door opening (it's on the port side - left-hand side - of the ship, about mid-ship) but I don't think it's really bad. More problematic can be the noise and vibration from the bow thruster (front/back of the ship) and from the engine (back of the ship) when the ship arrives in port and leaves port. During sailing the noise of the engine is subdued, but I would avoid cabins at the back of the ship, and maybe the front in the lower decks. This is less of an issue on the newer ships (Finnmarken, Midnastol, Trollfjord) I think, but I'm not overly sensitive to noise. Most of the beds are single beds that are attached to the wall (in many cabins, one of the beds folds up completely against the wall, and the other folds up as a sofa that you can use during the day) so they cannot be pushed together. To have a real double bed on most ships you need to go in a suite. The cabin descriptions will give an accurate account of how the beds are laid out so study it carefully if that is an issue, there can be slight variation from ship to ship. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canvas craftsmanship prints are one of a kind embellishing alternatives for your home. Today's innovation is exceedingly creative and is progressing at a high pace, and it is anything but difficult to get great quality, practical craftsmanship prints at efficient costs.

How Demo Accounts Help In Signing Up?
Demo accounts are a type of options for the new investors to easily learn the process of binary options trading, and to try out a trade along with an experiment in a trading strategy. You can do it all at once without risking for the money that you have. Therefore, consider these demo accounts as an ideal point before selecting a broker and starting your http://www.TradingBinary.co.uk options.
Few brokers are now offering these demo accounts as part of the training package. This means that in the training session, they will have access to videos and webinars, but few brokers have given access to the demo accounts during their training session. These training sessions are offered to the investors after they have opened up a new account and they must be funded by the real money from the investor to have access.
The real money funding predicts that the accounts that are opened without any real money and the demo account offered by such brokers generally presents a lack of education. But it doesn't mean that the demo accounts are not useful, that's not true at all.
Benefits offered by the demo accounts:
- Education: as discussed above, with the help of demo accounts, you will be able to learn completely about the binary options trading as how it works. You will completely learn about the binary options trading offered by the Trading Binary. Along with this, you will also learn the use of the trading platform.
- Payout: one of the key factors to be determined in the demo account is the payout offered by the broker. You can compare the payouts of multiple brokers by using their demo accounts. As these payouts vary from asset to asset, every broker will also offer a different payout. Maximum payout offered by the brokers is 90%.
- Trading Strategies: every broker offers different strategies for binary options trading. It can be Call or put and Up or Down or 30 seconds or many other different options. With the help of demo account, you will be able to try these trading strategies and make sure that these are the ones you were looking for. So, select them if they completely suit you. Additionally, they are completely risk-free.
- Get Access To Additional Features: some binary options trading brokers offer many new and exclusive features that are not listed anywhere and they are very helpful. So, try out the demo account before selecting a broker to get access to all the features of the broker.
- Shop Anywhere: with the help of demo accounts, you are able to shop anywhere just like the actual accounts. The only difference is that you will not spend your actual money and this shop will not be actualized. This will be just to show you the method along with all the details of the shop with the binary options trading broker account so it will be easy for you to identify the broker offering the best shopping options.

Happy Sunday, and congrats to the Boston Red Sox who are headed to the 2013 World Series! I wonder if all the games are going to go past midnight Eastern Standard Time…sheesh.
Instead of a recommendation this week, I'm glad to say my book is going through final edits and "should be" ready by the end of November. The title is The Stairwell, and the final cover is displayed above. It's been a really fun (and really hectic) process, and I hope you're excited to read about Meagan and Doob's latest antics.
Please take a moment to read the Prologue below from The Stairwell. (The formatting in this blog has made the paragraphs a little odd, so bear with it. They'll be correct when the book comes out.) I'd love your feedback and look forward to keeping you posted on its progress. Have a great day, and 'til next week, happy reading! 🙂
Friday, November 1st ~ Present Year
Jeff Geiger felt like a kid in a candy store, and it wasn't only because last night had been Halloween. This afternoon he was purchasing a vacation home, and he had a spring in his step as he approached the entrance to the glimmering skyscraper in downtown Boston. The John Hancock Tower was a glassed modern marvel, with its silver-blue tint reflecting the buildings all around it. His closing would be held at the law firm handling the estate of the late Ava McGraw, a woman he'd never known but with whom he would now have a common address.
Jeff entered through the revolving door of the massive building and checked in at security. The uniformed young woman squinted and studied his license thoroughly, which made him feel like he'd done something wrong when he absolutely hadn't. She glanced up and scrutinized him, and Jeff gave her a tight smile. She looked back down at his ID and then, evidently satisfied, directed him to the turnstiles. He pushed through the metal arm of the first one he came to and made his way to the bank of elevators that would take him to the twenty-fifth floor. He smiled at the knowledge of the building's elevators, how only certain cars went to certain floors above; efficacy was a wonderful thing.
He arrived at the plush suite of offices and checked in with the attractive receptionist. She picked up the phone, quietly announced his arrival, and seconds later, he was greeted by Jolene O'Hara, the attorney who would handle the transfer of the property. She escorted him to a large conference room, where a wall of windows showed off a spectacular view of the Boston skyline. The long mahogany table in the center of the room, polished to a beautiful sheen, held a gleaming silver tray with a glass pitcher of water and floating lemon slices, alongside four crystal tumblers. The massive table looked to seat about thirty, but today only three people were scheduled to be at the meeting.
Jolene took a seat at the far side of the table and removed assorted paperwork from her briefcase. Jeff sat across from her, appreciating that she'd given him the side of the table with the wonderful view of the city.
While they made small talk about the warm fall weather, the Patriots, and the latest political scandal, Jeff studied Jolene. She was probably in her late-fifties and wore a white, low-cut business suit that was one size too small for her stocky frame. Jeff wasn't an expert on women's fashion, but he thought there was some rule about not wearing white during certain times of the year. Silver bracelets dangled from her thick wrists, and a couple of silver chains disappeared into the tunnel of her cleavage. The makeup must have taken at least an hour, and talon-like fingernails almost perfectly matched her red hair-from-a-bottle. Her gravelly voice hinted at many years of smoking, and Jeff briefly wondered how many times a day she took the long elevator ride downstairs just to light up.
He was also beginning to wonder how much longer they would have to chit-chat when Bill McGuire entered the conference room. Leave it to Bill to saunter right past the receptionist and come in unannounced. Jeff swiveled in his chair to greet his real estate agent and friend. Bill was a typical Irishman, with light red hair, freckles, and pale skin. He was over six-feet tall with a quick wit and a twinkle in his bright, blue eyes. He was the type of guy who had a smile that mothers warned their daughters about, but the daughters never listened. Eventually he won over the mothers, but never the fathers.
Bill exchanged pleasantries with Jolene and took a seat beside her, across the table from Jeff. The meeting progressed without much fanfare, and forty minutes later, Jeff Geiger owned a home in Jamestown, Rhode Island, a small community just outside of scenic Newport. After some final small talk, Jeff gathered his things to leave. Jolene momentarily looked panicked and made a not-so-subtle attempt to stall his departure.
"So, Jeff, it's not often we have people at such a young age paying cash for a home. That's quite impressive." She attempted what he assumed was meant to be a demure smile, but she just wound up looking constipated. She stood and stretched across the large table to pat Jeff's hand. Her palm lingered there, and Jeff's right eyebrow shot up, looking to Bill for some help.
"It's a second home, too," Bill threw in, enjoying the spectacle way too much to not pile on. Jeff shot him a glare that spoke volumes, as he preferred to keep his personal life just that: personal. Now, he had to say something.
"Uh, thank you, Jolene, it's a great little property that has a few projects I can work on. I'm excited to get down there and get my hands dirty." At the mention of his hands, Jeff pulled his out from under hers, leaving her half-sprawled across the massive table. He had to get out of there before they could delve any further into his second house, his age, his money, or especially his lack of a wedding ring.
After escaping Jolene and scampering out of the building, Jeff hit the sidewalk with a renewed bounce in his step. "God bless you Ava McGraw, I'll do you proud," Jeff whispered, looking up at the fluffy white clouds. He briefly wondered about her life and hoped she had enjoyed her many years of living on the coast of Rhode Island. He jingled the new house keys in his hands and nearly skipped down the crowded street to the parking garage.
After walking down several flights to his vintage Porsche 911, he unlocked the door, started the engine, and spiraled up the parking garage loop. Digging in his pocket for his wallet, he was careful not to bump the car against the narrow cement walls as he circled around toward the ticket-taker. The man working the booth was probably in his mid-sixties, and he wore a light blue cardigan sweater and a gray, newsboy cap. A disgusting, unlit, chewed-up cigar hung out of his mouth. He held out his hand and didn't even look up from his newspaper to acknowledge Jeff. Sticking the ticket in a little machine, the green neon numbers revealed what Jeff owed.
"Forty bucks, mac," the man said, with a heavy Boston accent.
"Holy cow, I was only in there for about an hour." Jeff was just messing with the guy, but he wanted to see if he could get him to glance up from the sports page. He wasn't disappointed. The man looked up, and one corner of his mouth curled. He pointed his slimy cigar at Jeff and narrowed his eyes.
"Listen mac, it's highway robbery, I agree. But I don't set the rates; I just collect 'em. And I don't make no commission on it, either, so don't bust my stones. Just gimme the forty, and you'll be on your way. Or don't gimme the forty, and we'll getcha towed. Makes no difference to me."
Jeff smiled. Only in Boston. He gave the man a fifty and told him to keep the change, which merited a small grunt and a barely audible thank you. That didn't faze Jeff, though. Nothing was going to get to him today. It was Friday afternoon, the weather was beautiful, and he was heading to his new digs. Life was good.
The traffic getting out of Boston was slow going but steady, a small miracle on an early Friday afternoon, and Jeff had crossed into Rhode Island in no time. He had friends in the Midwest who could never understand how someone could zip through a portion of all six New England states in a matter of hours.
The drive through the Ocean State was effortless and beautiful, and the gold and orange leaves on the trees lining Interstate 95 made him feel like he was driving through a Thomas Kinkade painting. He made the trip in less than two hours, another great feat for a Friday. He pulled onto his new property and proceeded down the curvy, gravel lane to his house. His land had a huge, open meadow with grass that blew with the ocean breeze. Jeff pictured the wildflowers that undoubtedly grew here in the springtime and was once again thankful for the good fortune life had sent his way.
He took a moment to admire the view of the ocean and the Newport Bridge. Smelling the salt in the crisp fall air, he inhaled deeply and smiled. He was on cloud nine and tried to etch the moment in his brain, because everything was absolutely perfect.
Right up until the point when he opened his front door and saw the dead body at the bottom of the stairwell.

American is also cutting three direct flights from New York's LaGuardia Airport.
The airline said it will announce the timing of the changes "in the coming weeks."
It has to surrender some of its slots at both airports and others nationwide under an agreement late last year with the Justice Department, which had sued to block the merger on the grounds that it would give the new American Airlines too much control over much of the nation's aviation market. Many of those slots will probably be scooped up by low-cost competitors like Southwest and JetBlue — but whatever airlines win those slots will decide which cities to serve.

For-Sale Listings Drop Again, Led by California Cities
The number of homes listed for sale fell in August, led by a clutch of California cities that posted outsized declines.
Inventories fell in August by 1.2% from July, bucking a seasonal pattern of a slight uptick before the summer season ends. Listings were down by 18.7% from one year ago and 34.1% from two years ago, according to a report from Realtor.com.
Falling inventories are a leading driver behind the recent rally in home prices, and the declines point to continued price-strength in many parts of the Western U.S., which are also benefiting from strong investor demand.

|May does have 31 days, doesn't it? Ok, I am a little early for June.
Three toothy red ones:
FFO Sweet Valdosta Memories - the teeth will get more pronounced with future blooms.
Spacecoast Thorny Devil is a repeat.
Oklahoma Sand Burr - always consistent color and the teeth are beginning to appear on the sepals.
For Leslie - a poly on Bird Talk
Power Surge
Sherry Candy
Very Berry Candy
seedling - Answering Angels X Southern Dazzle, which is similar to AA, but quite a bit larger. Nothing unique.
Now for the whites:
Polar Snow - will improve in future blooms
This is a white seedling that is such a BIG beautiful bloom, but the scapes are too short. I still keep it as a landscape daylily.
Most of my seedlings this year are real dogs, so I keep repeating the best.
The seedling with the garden name Ice Crystal from two days this week.

A constant pounding on the inside
Trying to escape the feeling,
Of being crushed by the idea of
Yourself, that others are seeing.
I'm pounding on the doors.
They aren't bending to my command.
Yet I do the same for,
All the people that demand.
That I shut myself inside
For I don't have the strength.
To break free from my shackles,
All my hope is spent.
Some laugh, some pity.
Some try to act like nothing has changed,
It didn't occur, I did not try,
and then shamefully fail.
Failure is the fatal poison to my hope,
Of thinking, one day I shall be worthy.
To rise and make my kin proud,
But I fell before I even tried for glory.
She laughs at me, "You?"
She says, "Are not worthy of love.
Not that anyone would want to,
You have nothing to be proud of."
Maybe she's right, maybe not.
The only way to decide,
Is to vanish; a soul lost young.
And see if anyone pays their respects,
To the soul not worthy of love.

Boeing lands in Enniscrone
May 13, 2016
On the weekend 0f 6-8 May, Civil Defence was involved in one of most unusual events of the year, the landing of a large jet on a beach in Sligo. The plane was loaded onto a barge and left departed Shannon on Thursday12th May and sailed up along the Atlantic coast. The crew had to wait for favourable conditions. The plan was to land in Enniscrone on Friday morning but that was pushed out due to the late departure from Knockbeg in Shannon. It arrived into view in Enniscrone on Friday evening to beautiful weather and huge crowds. By Saturday morning the weather had changed and the planned beaching of the barge at early high tide had to be put on hold till Saturday evening when it was successfully completed and the plane started its final journey to the glamping site.
30 Civil Defence volunteers reported to Enniscrone for 7am Saturday only to be put on hold as the plans changed due to the weather conditions, but finally they got to roll up their sleeves at 5pm and assisted until approximately 4am Sunday morning. No-one wanted to leave once the move started everyone wanted to see it through and a huge thanks to the volunteers who assisted. Due to the large number of crowds in attendance up to the final minute Civil Defence volunteers were kept very busy with various incidents. 20 volunteers were again out on Sunday, stewarding and providing first aid cover for the large crowds. Thanks to all the volunteers from Mayo and Roscommon who assisted Sligo Civil Defence at this unique event.

Research Ahead of Time
If your child is sick, and you are waiting for an appointment with the pediatrician, it might be a nerve-wracking time. But rather than spending that time worrying, use it time to become informed. These days, the Internet makes it easy to research symptoms and conditions. You can get an idea of the possibilities and treatments to expect just by searching Web sites. Having an idea of what to expect will help you make better decisions when you are with the doctor. And because pediatricians are typically very busy, becoming informed can make the visit to the pediatrician more efficient.
However, on the same token, it's important not to jump to conclusions before you get a professional pediatrician's advice. If you're going to research on your own, it's also essential to go to a reliable source, such as:
- Nemours Foundation for Children's Health
- The American Academy of Pediatrics
- Mayo Clinic
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration
At these groups' sites and others, you'll be able to find trustworthy articles written by medical professionals. Being informed will also help you be able to distinguish between situations where you do or don't need to call the pediatrician, which we'll discuss next.

Manufacturers and distributors must achieve and sustain profitable growth by creating and capturing demand by utilizing innovative products and synchronizing the execution of integrated business processes across a collaborative demand and supply network—from the design to the supply to the customer chain.
Manufacturing and distribution are capital-intensive businesses. Billions are spent each year on constructing new oil rigs, building new production facilities, replenishing truck fleets, and the like. Research and development (R&D) is becoming an increasingly important competitive weapon as the market's demand for new features and functionality accelerates. New facilities, equipment, and innovation require large investments either derived from cash flow, debt or equity. A focus on profitable growth is one of the largest challenges for manufacturing and distribution companies.
Business Trends and Challenges
There are many trends that are driving change in the manufacturing and distribution industries. Today's buyers are demanding, more selective and increasingly disloyal. They expect the right products available at convenient times and locations. To enable profitable growth, companies are under increasing pressure to rapidly read buyers' signals, develop innovative products attuned to buyers' needs, deliver products when and where buyers are ready to buy and all at a profit-generating price that buyers can afford.
These demands are not the only obstacles facing the industry. Other factors such as intensified competition, high materials and energy costs, complex supply chains, regulatory and environmental compliances, and industry consolidation present Allesons of Rochester with huge challenges but also with great opportunities.
Manufacturers and distributors must achieve and sustain profitable growth by creating and capturing demand with more innovative products and synchronizing the execution of integrated business processes across a collaborative demand and supply network—from the design to the supply to the customer chain. As innovation increasingly becomes a core differentiator, more and more companies are leveraging product ideas, lessons learned, and R&D approaches used by other industries.
Information Technology Impacts
- The day-to-day operations
- Productivity and efficiency
- The way your business communicates internally and externally
- The way your business serves its customers, vendors, and suppliers
- The manufacturing and production environment
- The way your business is perceived by its customers, vendors, and suppliers
- The way your business exists in today's Information Age
Utilizing Technology
Technology is at the heart of every manufacturing and distribution entity and IT today plays a part in most business processes. By aligning IT investments with business goals and processes,your business can accelerate business growth, increase efficiency and mitigate risks. Innovation can improve effectiveness, increase communication and collaboration, reduce costs and decrease time-to-market. Technology can not only support the business but technology can power the business. IT can present business opportunities for your business by:
- Creating and capturing demand with innovative products—technology can provide data that will help your business better understand market dynamics and customer needs allowing for more collaborative and streamlined product development and lifecycle management.
- Synchronizing business processes across the supply chain—through timely visibility of the economics of various design, supply, production and distribution alternatives,your business can develop a framework for selecting from this myriad of alternatives and optimize the end-to-end value chain. Enhanced communication and collaboration can help balance supply and demand as well as align processes.
- Mastering execution to drive organizational responsiveness—the ability to measure process efficiencies against multiple objectives or key performance indicators (KPIs) can provide a clear understanding of which business and IT processes are optimal or sub-optimal and how to make improvements that most impact business objectives. Through this optimization, your business can increase responsiveness and effectiveness in response to current business conditions.
Info Advantage can improve business agility, build a powerful platform for innovation, and manage change. By creating an adaptive infrastructure, your business can create and capture demand with new products, synchronize integrated business processes across a collaborative demand and supply network, and master execution to drive organizational responsiveness and cost savings.

With an updated browser, you will have a better Medtronic website experience. Update my browser now.
Medtronic forms first-of-its-kind Hospital IT Advisory Board – a chance for tech leaders to partner and plan for the future.
"Information Technology (IT) is critical to the future of healthcare."
These are the words from someone who understands the intersection of IT and healthcare. And it's a busy intersection.
"It's an onslaught of new technology right now," says Matt Werder, Chief Technology Officer at Hennepin County Medical Center, the largest hospital and trauma center in Minneapolis, MN.
Werder and his team handle IT operations, infrastructure, networking, and security for the hospital. But in an era of ever-changing technology and the need for readily accessible data, it can quickly become overwhelming.
"Sometimes you feel like you're solving problems all alone," admits Werder.
That feeling was one of the reasons technology leaders at Medtronic formed a unique team – the Hospital IT Advisory Board. The board — which consists of IT leaders from across the U.S. healthcare industry — is committed to better understanding trends and challenges, obtaining real-world insights, and discovering new ways to align new medical device capabilities with hospital IT requirements.
"Technology and security have become so complex and challenging across the industry that none of us can do this alone – we need to be partners," says Michael Hedges, CIO at Medtronic.
Hedges believes the advisory board is "critical to our business."
"Being in the same room with our IT stakeholders is incredibly important," says Julia Strandberg, Vice President of Health Informatics and Monitoring at Medtronic. "It's about the reality of things – figuring out how our solutions live in the real world."
Whether it's improving our delivery of care, improving how we communicate to physicians, or how we share and receive data – this is the future of IT in healthcare.Matt Werder Hennepin County Medical Center
Strandberg, who helped get the advisory board off the ground, says it's critical to understand the ins and outs of life within the healthcare IT environment. And it's a priority for Medtronic.
"IT has to be the headlight of our organization," she says. "It's about how our system interacts with a real-life hospital network or security protocol. If we want to produce improved outcomes at a lower cost, we have to partner with our clinical stakeholders as well as our IT stakeholders."
Hennepin County Medical Center, which treated more than 600,000 patients last year alone, stores over 2 million patient records. That's just one hospital among 5,000 across the U.S.
The challenge, says Werder, is understanding how to effectively use all of that data to improve healthcare.
"Across this group, we face similar challenges," he says. "We are learning, listening, and sharing best practices."
Because, as Werder puts it, "Everything is connected to IT."
"The better question is - what isn't connected to IT these days," says Werder. "Whether it's improving our delivery of care, improving how we communicate to physicians, or how we share and receive data – this is the future of IT in healthcare."
The board, which held its first meeting in the U.S. in 2016, meets multiple times each year. The model has proven to be so successful that another board is currently being formed in Europe.

WARNING: Dubious statistical pseudo-analysis ahead!
'Tis the season for boundless optimism, and it's often delivered in the form of predictions based on tiny samples of spring training performance. We all know that spring training is all but meaningless when it comes to predicting a player's regular season performance, but that doesn't stop us from trying anyways does it? It's just too tempting for fans (and content starved writers) to find meaning in the meaningless, and as long as it's presented as exactly what it is, mostly unfounded guesswork, I don't think there's anything wrong with giving in to the urge from time to time.

|ready to take off.
|morning view.
i am not sure what in berlin strikes me as full of life. in itself the concrete gloominess is brightened only by street art and tivoli lights marking restaurants and stores this time of the year. the magnificent promenades are not lined by lush trees as they are from spring till fall, but somehow there is a buzz.
|prenzlauer berg.
the mecca of cheap breakfasts and beer (that is better value than water) is something of a haven for a foodie on a budget like myself. moreover, since the weather did not exactly favor long strolls around the city – it was piercingly cold and rather humid even when the rain was not turning into sleet – we took advantage of our cosy apartment in friedrichshain, the little bars in the neighborhood and a myriad of ethic restaurants.
|elfida brunch buffet.
|stella at the perennial favorite, elfida.
|pie at the intimes.
|margaritas as my favorite from last visit, santa maria.
|little sweetness from downstairs: the nuss ring.
the neighborhood was familiar to the rest of the pack, but offered plenty of new for me. my last trip centered around kreutzberg and it was gratifying to dive into the nooks of new blocks and streets.
the most important part of traveling are without a doubt your companions. our group dynamic consisted of plenty of impromptu craziness, but also the power of life experience, sensitivity and intelligence that was not necessarily the academic kind. there was room to breath and to air out the most embarrassing and humiliating details without feeling crushed by a condescending attitude whether it was past hurts and issues of trust, the pain of missing our kids, the uncertainties of creativity or whether the store downstairs was too far for another round of drinks.
the travel records of my lovely companions can be checked out (in finnish only, i'm afraid, but with better pics than mine, naturally) at stella's, dorit's two and jenni's blogs.
love you all.
|i returned home at 6.30 am from dancing and went looking for some love in the room next door. they took a picture. gee thanks.

Zambian Rock
Re-post from a terrific new blog...
Zambian Rock: A Blog Sponsored by Strawberry Rain Music:
I operate a label called Strawberry Rain Music based in Canada. This blog is going to be a way to share information, albums, and sound clips from the Zamrock Period, which took place in Zambia in the 1970's and 80's. There are a few labels including my own, Now Again and Shadoks that have been re-releasing this hard to find music, so please support these labels if or when you take a liking to something. I will not be sharing album downloads on this blog, but you will be able to hear some incredibly rare and killer music. You should also take note of ZAMROCK.ORG, another good site for resources surrounding the Zamrock period. Feel free to comment or contact me!

Call of the Moose (+ The Quietus NNA V1 feature)
*I was recently asked to write a NNA V1 feature for UK-based website The Quietus profiling five of the compilation's 23 featured artists and to share a little background on the process of putting the project together. NNA V1 features a diverse range of Indigenous artists from unique cultural backgrounds who performed in a folk, rock, and country style throughout the 1960s-80s and it's so great to see these songs (and their creators) getting some much deserved attention in 2015. Above is a powerful tune by an artist not featured in The Quietus piece, but equally deserving, singer-songwriter Willy Mitchell from Kitigan-Zibi. PEACE

Round II
Should I eat this banana before my jog, it's looking a little ripe? Come on Kev, eat the banana already! I think my body is telling me something... I power up the stereo and drop the needle on Ian Thomas's Glider LP. A sweet somewhat nostalgic sound fills the room. "What's it like outside?" I think to myself. I open the front door and a rush of crisp fresh air enters my lungs. It's another beautiful B.C. winter morning. We've certainly been lucky this year. My thoughts reach back into the past, to my grandfather who lived in Burnaby during the 1970s-80s, and to distant days with weather just like this...

Hello ROCK and ROLL fans!!!!
I'd like to share a short excerpt from my Thin Lizzy liner notes...
"It took years of patronage, but in late 1999 the dealer finally invited me to his place. Arriving with a wallet full of cash and a surging case of nerves, I found myself inching up the steps of a dimly lit east Vancouver house, anxious to score. After a knock and quick hello, I was ushered inside and instantly put at ease. Looking around, I spotted a row of album covers towards the ceiling. On the wall to my left was a massive map of the world, straight-ahead, a vintage turntable, glowing tube amp, and large speakers hung by chains. The remaining perimeter was furnished with handmade wooden cabinets filled with my host's most treasured possessions, hundreds of psychedelic LPs from around the globe. "Explore," he said.
Later that evening, I asked the dealer what his favourite album was. Pausing for inspiration, he walked over to a shelf beneath the record player, thumbed across to the "T" section, and pulled out an original British Decca label Thin Lizzy. I must admit I was somewhat perplexed. Here was this slightly built, musical encyclopedia of a man, with a deep seeded passion for the hippie folk side of underground sounds, putting what I perceived as a classic rock radio band on the stereo. "Whisky In The Jar," "The Boys Are Back In Town," and "Jailbreak" flashed through my head alongside forgotten 1980s memories of longhaired banger dudes dressed in bootleg Thin Lizzy rock tees and jumbo jean jacket patches. And then the needle dropped..."
*Ok, that's it for now (bar a little background): Ty Scammell of "For the Record" (RIP) was "the dealer," and the house mentioned is not too far from the VIN HQ. As for Thin Lizzy, they are, hands down, one of the best rock groups EVER!@#$%!!! Needless to say, it was a M-A-S-S-I-V-E honour to help make these crucial sides available again for vinyl lovers the world over and draft up some liners featuring interviews w/ founding members Eric Bell and Brian Downey. Thin Lizzy, Shades of a Blue Orphanage, and Vagabonds of the Western World represent a holy trinity if you will, the first three Lizzy LPs w/ the original power trio lineup of Phil, Eric, and Brian. These albums are powerful and sensitive, a rare and winning combination. I KNOW they will touch your soul as they have mine...
PEACE and LOVE,

All For You
*The Shadow knows... STOKED to hear more!!! PEACE
Die weisse Alm
*Around 7 or 8 years ago, I found a copy of the Lord Krishna Von Goloka album in a rural Ontario record store. I was already familiar w/ the music thanks to a pal from England who had put this track on a mix tape back in the day, but there was one little (or BIG) problem, the sleeve had no disc inside. Though I still have the empty jacket, I was able to purchase a complete OG over the weekend while on the road w/ Willie Thrasher/Linda Saddleback and Dada Plan. To me, "Die weisse Alm" is as transcendental as they come. Celestial church organ vibrations meets John Squire "Waterfall"-style guitar lines. So thanks for the tip Ferg! And to the rest of you... BLISS OUT!!! PEACE

2017 Honda Civic Type-R Is The One Coming To North America
Gotten as of late experiencing testing at the Nürburgring, it's difficult to trust Honda are as of now building up his or her cutting edge Civic Type-R. That just may seem like yesterday that the present Type-R was gloating about its 7:50.63 lap time on the celebrated Nordschleife circuit. Yes - progress at Honda is somewhat quick without a doubt.
So we should take a represented more intensive take a gander at Honda's next Type-R; what will it resemble, and what would we be able to anticipate?
Forceful Design:
At the point when taking a gander at the all-new Civic Type-R five-entryway hatchback in view of the new 2016 vehicle, early introductions are that it'll scare most types of creature, creepy crawly and likely your grandparents as well; believe it or not, unobtrusive isn't a word that applies here. From the substantial precise front air deltas, flared bumpers, red accents and that gigantic back wing; the general topic is forceful and with regards to the Type-R brand, supplementing the base Civic's fairly nice looking and element outline.
Patched up Sports Interior:
Whilst not obviously expressive as far as inside configuration; the most recent Civic has had a long-past due update which acquired significant changes saw quality, bundling, innovation and materials. Likewise with most games orientated variations; expect figure-embracing race seats, dull upper environment (charcoal featuring and column covers) and red/dark Alcantara decorates and a thicker, level base directing wheel.
What Will Power It:
As of now the Type-R pumps out an amazingly schizophrenic 306 pull and 295 foot-pound of torque through the front wheels and for a lively 0-62 mph (100km/h) time of 5.7 seconds. Anticipate that the new form will use the same 2.0-liter turbocharged VTEC unit, though with slight changes to control and torque levels. Whilst we'd affection to see a Focus RS-matching 350 horsepower; any authentic affect in effect would most likely limit the reconsider of drivetrain, and that isn't going on at any point in the near future.
Hot Hatched Rivals:
Regarding unadulterated front-wheel-drive adversaries, Honda's helped hot-bring forth essentially equals the Renaultsport Megane 275 Trophy and Seat Leon Cupra 280 and Ford Focus ST. However this portion is a blend sack of diverse drivetrains; so it'll additionally fight against AWD's similar to Ford's excitedly foreseen Focus RS, Volkswagen Golf R and Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG - just to give some examples.
Expect Honda's next Civic Type-R 5-entryway seal to authoritatively rise by 2017, with it at last being sold on both European and U.S soil (embed adulation here)
