Young farmers in Berkshire have won a trophy for donating the most amount of life-saving blood out of all the counties across England and Wales that are part of the National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs (NFYFC).
The trophy, which was awarded by NHS Blood and Transplant as well as NFYFC, was in response to a year-long campaign called YFC Life Blood, which challenged members to register to donate blood to help save lives. Berkshire Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs (FYFC) recruited eight new donors and made 21 donations during the campaign.
Berkshire has YFCs in Newbury, Bradfield, Shefford and in Windsor and Maidenhead.
Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire FYFCs were praised for being runners up in the competition after making 20 donations each and also registering eight new donors.
In total during the campaign, young farmers' life-saving blood donations helped 291 patients from 16 April 2016 to 17 March 2017. A total of 97 blood donations were made by YFC members during the campaign period.
Every unit of blood donated saves or improves the lives of up to three people. Over a lifetime some blood donors help more than 500 people through their donations.
The NFYFC campaign was led by its national Chairman for 2016 Chris Manley as he wanted to prove that YFC members really are the lifeblood of their local communities. It also tied in with the NFYFC's dedication towards farm safety.
Chris Manley said: "YFC members are renowned for challenging themselves and raising thousands of pounds for good causes across the country. But in 2016, we challenged our members to show their generosity by registering as blood and organ donors! It was great to see so many of our members backing the campaign not only by giving blood but by sharing stories on social media too.
"Members of Berkshire FYFC have done brilliantly to get so many of their members involved and I hope that because of the YFC Life Blood campaign, many more of us will continue, or start to, give blood on a regular basis."
Many people would not be alive today if donors had not generously given their blood. NHS Blood needs over 6,000 blood donations every day to treat patients in need across England.
As well as the donations by YFC members, Berkshire found that families also got involved in giving blood too.
Berkshire's County Chairman Katherine Bunn, who collected the award at NFYFC's Annual General Meeting in Torquay, said: "Berkshire FYFC are really proud to have picked up the YFC Life Blood award for being the YFC county federation to give the most donations and to have the most registered donors. We worked hard to raise awareness among our membership about the benefits of giving blood and how it could save lives. Berkshire members and their families really got behind the national campaign and I hope that we will all continue to give blood and raise awareness about the importance of doing so."
Zeeshan Asghar, Partnership Development Manager at NHSBT said: "We are grateful to the National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs for their support throughout the year. Raising awareness of blood and organ donation amongst young people is really important. Half of all blood donors are over 45 so it's important we recruit younger people to donate blood to help meet patient needs now and in the future.
"Young people can also play an important role in helping to normalise organ donation, discussion amongst their peers and family will generate debate and allow individuals to be open about their decision to become an organ donor, if and when the time comes.

Young Farmers raised £15,000 for charity during NFYFC's Annual Convention in Torquay this April.
The money raised was on top of the estimated £1.2m that Young Farmers' Clubs (YFCs) raised for charity in 2016.
Members fundraised in the build up to the weekend for their chosen charities and during the Convention they also threw their support behind a local cause in Torquay.
A pot of £3,000 was collected from Young Farmers for the Torbay branch of the charity Street Pastors, who were on hand to support members throughout the weekend.
The charity offered 345 volunteer hours over the weekend, supporting young farmers while they were out in the town. Coordinator Trevor Staveley said that despite the long hours, the volunteers enjoyed themselves.
"We were thrilled to have you all," said Trevor. "Everyone we saw during the weekend was polite and friendly. We hope to see the Young Farmers back in Torquay again!"
The money raised from the weekend will help the Street Pastors with their annual running costs, which have to be sourced from fundraising. They are also saving to buy a new van so they can operate in Paignton and Brixham and the money will also go towards that.
Trevor added: "It was fantastic to hear how much was raised for the charity during the weekend. I have volunteers already asking to be on rota for your next visit to Torbay!"
In time honoured tradition, members also travelled to Convention in challenging ways to help raise money for charity.
Thirty members of Cornwall Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs (FYFC) paddled and trekked over 100 miles to Torquay and raised £5,000 for The Alzheimer's Society on their journey. Eight members of Yorkshire FYFC tandem cycled from Knaresborough to Torquay and raised £3,500 for Anthony Nolan Trust and nine members of Abingdon YFC also jumped on their tandem bikes to raise £4,000 for a local cancer charity called Blue Skye Thinking.
Verenique Beviere from Abingdon YFC said: "We hope that the money raised will go some way towards aiding research in to new treatments for children with brain tumours. This has been an incredible experience for all involved, and many a memory has been made. However, I do believe that no one will be in a rush to get back on a bike again anytime soon!"

Get out there and get heard is the call to arms for Young Farmers from NFYFC's new President Charlotte Smith.
The Radio and TV presenter was officially elected as NFYFC's President during the 85th Annual General Meeting in Torquay and said she hoped her communication skills could help young farmers during a critical time for the industry.
"At the moment particularly, whatever your views, young farmers will need to communicate those views with people who don't understand farming, and I am hoping I can help with that," said Charlotte.
Charlotte attended the Chairman's Reception on Friday evening at the official opening of the Annual Convention, and then went to the AGRI Forum and the Entertainments Finals on Saturday.
The broadcaster was impressed with the standard of talent at the competition finals and said she would not have liked to have been a judge.
Charlotte took over the role of President from Poul Christensen who stepped down after four years. He said he had been "honoured and privileged" to have been the Federation's President for the past four years and that he had been "inspired, amused and impressed" with everything YFC does.
A particular highlight for Poul during his tenure was seeing Young Farmers help out during the Somerset floods as it had shown the true spirit of YFCs.

Farmers Weekly is on the hunt for the Rising Stars of the UK agriculture, food and environmental industries.
They've teamed up with the Woodland Trust to launch a search for individuals aged 18-35, who are already making a real impact in their sector and are ones to watch for the future.
The aim is to recognise and promote the talents of the next generation of farmers, agricultural professionals, academics, researchers and others in the food and farming supply chain.
Farmers Weekly want to hear about people who are making a mark, people who are changing things for the better – it doesn't matter whether it's on the family farm, in the laboratory, in a big multinational business or anywhere in-between.
The initiative aims to inspire young people from outside food and farming to consider this vibrant and fast-moving industry as a potential career choice.
Nominations are welcome from everyone – no matter what your relationship is to the nominee – family member, friend, manager, colleague or mentor.
Self-nominations are also welcome.
The deadline for nominations is midnight 28 May 2017 and for further details visit http://www.fwi.co.uk/ms/rising-stars/

This week, I discovered a new local tradition – and one I turned out to really like. But first, let me tell you a (very short) story.
Santa Agueda de Catania (Saint Agatha of Sicily) was a woman born from a rich Catholic family. She lived in a time of Christian persecution by the Roman emperor Decius. She was taken prisoner and tortured for her faith; her breasts were cut off and in the end (after many humiliations and epic conversations with her torturers, please google it if you'd like all of the details) she died and was declared a martyr.
Now here in Spain, Santa Agueda is a very important saint. She is the patron of women and of breast cancer patients, and every year around her birthday (February 5th) she is remembered and her martyrdom is celebrated as "women's day". A few weeks ago, some friends from Arens convinced me to come and join them for Santa Agueda in their village…
And that's how I found myself on a Saturday morning in the village square of Arens, surrounded by only women. There were delicious cakes (made by the wonderful Otti, wife of the shopkeeper Jose Ramon whom I blogged about a few months ago) and mistela (a kind of sweet fortified wine) to warm up with. Meanwhile, the organising committee declared the day of Santa Agueda open from the balcony of the ayuntamiento. From there, there was a procession to the village church; I had only seen it from the outside before (it's beautiful from the outside, and there is a fantastic view of the river and surroundings from the church square) – it turned out it's one of those things that's bigger on the inside, and just as simple, elegant and beautiful as the outside.
After mass, we all got a "boob cake" (mamelletes). Delicious, funny and very filling 🙂
12 o'clock, time to dance the jota (the local traditional dance) on the village square. I'll put a video on our Facebook page (it's got the music as well). But also time to all hurry to the warmth of the Sociedad (the village bar / cultural center) and get some tapas and Vermuth (again, a kind of fortified wine). Upstairs, there was a photography exposition of views of the Matarranya; we all knew we are living in a breathtakingly beautiful region, but the pictures made it all the more clear. It was quite cold in the exposition room though, which made us need some more drinks to warm up.
So after all this eating, drinking and dancing, you'd think that was it for the day – on the contrary, the fun was just beginning. The procession carried on to the restaurant of Laure and Maria Jose, who prepared us a delicious 4 course meal; between courses, our lottery tickets provided us with lots of merriment and small gifts (some silly, some handy, some both). I got a very handsome wig (just what I needed for Carnaval / Mardi Gras in 2 weeks!) and 2 very small dustpans. Other people got towels, home decorations, handbags, more cleaning accessories and I'm not mentioning the "ladies only" stuff.
Around desert, we were joined by "La Tuna Folk", 5 young guys from Tortosa playing traditional Spanish songs. And "happy birthday" to Helen. The alcaldesa and organising committee all got personal (funny & naughty) poems recited to them – sadly most of those were in Catalan, which will one day be my 6th language. Maybe. Not now anyway. Despite their (apparent) young age the band was very entertaining and funny, and got almost everyone to dance the conga. Maybe the wine with the food, the cava for the toast and the whisky in the coffee had something to do with that as well.
At our leaving the restaurant, we were provided with a small flowerpot, and a paper flower to dance with; we proceeded to the Sociedad again, where a live band was starting to play in the cinema. By then, the men were finally allowed to join us – if there was to be more dancing, at least we would have men to dance with now! Some time in the evening, we all got to light the candles in the paper flowers; it was a beautiful sight! Another raffle (in which a friend won a fancy dinner for 2!) and a bingo closed off the night – although we stayed until closing, having a wonderful time.
Santa Agueda is definitely one of the most special festivals of the year – a day to celebrate all women of all ages.

Toumaï skull model
Toumaï skull model
UNESCO were looking for a project to be displayed for the delegation of Chad. The project was undertaken by our team from start to finish, everything included from designing the intial idea (a reproduction of the ancient Toumai hominid skull head) to the final result (modeled in patina-glazed plaster & enlarged in bronze).
The plaster model was planned and realised according to the client's criteria, then accepted by UNESCO. The following step involved casting the custom-built model in bronze and displaying it on a tailor-built made-to-measure Carrara marble plinth. The work centred around the first human skull found in Chad 7 billion years ago, which was then moulded in plaster and the model glazed with patina lacquer to emulate the colour and texture. The moulded skull and marble stand were then set up in the entrance of the UNESCO building in Paris.

How can anyone vote this hot? This £28 meal will cost over £50 by the time you add the vegetables ('sides'), drink, cover charge (!) and 12.5% for tips. You're better off going for the Ritz offer.
Service charge yes - "£2 per head on top" no. And without the moral blackmail very few people would pay more than 10% service charge.
Very nice spot
It always annoys me that the so called 'discretionary' service charge is added to the bill automatically. If it is already on there then it isn't discretionary. Just raise the damn prices and say service included
Is this for The River Restaurant aswell?

The Gazette
January 17, 1900
Mr. W. F. Usrey, of Oakland neighborhood, informs us that a white boy, age about 17 years, names Bob Taylor, was shot and killed near Oakland on January 5. It is supposed that the unfortunate boy came to his death from the careless handling of his own gun. He was working on Mr. Usrey's farm, and on the day of his death he went hunting. He failed to return home that night and the next day a posse of citizens set out in search for him. They found his dead body near a fence, on the other side of which his discharged gun was resting. Mr. Usrey thinks it probable that the boy was accidentally shot while in the act of climbing the fence. The entire charge of shot entered his breast, and if Mr. Usrey's theory be correct the victim was directly over the muzzle of the gun when it went off.
It might be possible, however, that the boy was shot by other hands and that he was so left as to create the impression that the killing was purely accidental. Inasmuch as he had no known enemies, no credence is attached to this theory. When the victim was found his dog was by his side, thus showing the faithfulness of the little animal to his master.

"Super Nanny"
review of ChristyM - Nanny in Barrhead
Super Nanny
Asking Christy to be our nanny over 2 years ago was one of the best decisions we ever made. She has now become part of the family! I wanted a nanny who I could trust to nuture and guide our 1 year old daughter. Christy exceeded our expectations. She listened carefully to what was important to us as a family and has always put that first. Luckily we were on the same page about most things but she was always careful to listen to us and our daughter and we have had a very honest and comfortable relationship where we could discuss things as they came up.
She has always provided our daughter with stimulating, age-appropriate activities, been flexible and allowed us to share with other families creating a great social-circle for our wee one. She upholds healthy eating, good manners and clear boundaries, which she gently enforces. She has also successfully navigated us through multiple early hurdles including potty training!
She has always been incrediably reliable and has allowed us flexibility and patience with the challenge of coordinating 2 NHS doctors rotas. With maternity leave coming up and our professional arrangement changing, I am sure and hope we will continue to see Christy as we just really enjoy having her around!

Zora Palova, Virtual Reality, 1999
I took the photograph above at Goodwood Sculpture park a few years ago. The Cass Sculpture Foundation website describes Palova's sculpture thus: 'These five double-sided mirrors rotate around central pivots within their frames. They move in response to the wind or by being pushed or brushed against. The reflections render the form almost invisible when static, but in effect Palova has cut out sections of nature and framed them precisely. The framework remains the same but the pictures change almost continually.'
Anish Kapoor, C-Curve, 2009
I was reminded of Palova's work when shown a picture of Anish Kapoor's mirror, C-Curve, installed on the South Downs for the Brighton Festival. A relative of mine has noticed the similarity of this piece to optical display mirrors used on flight simulators and expressed concern in an email that "a huge amount of power can be concentrated at the focal point of the mirror – e.g. enough to boil a kettle full of water within seconds!" There don't seem to have been any singed spectators, but I see from the Evening Argus that the mirror itself was cracked by high winds.
This is not the first mirror sculpture Anish Kapoor has installed - his Cloud Gate for example reflects the urban landscape of Chicago. And artist-installed mirrors in the landscape go back at least as far as Robert Smithson's Yucatan Mirror Displacements (1-9) (1969). Here are some other recent examples:
- Michel de Broin's Superficial (2004): 'Upon invitation to reflect on the notion of transparency, that led me into the forest to envelop the contour of a large stone with fragments of mirror. The large stone, tucked away deep in the woods, became a reflective surface for its surroundings. In this play of splintered radiance, the rock disappears in its reflections. Because it reflects one cannot be mislead by its presence, yet we cannot seize it, rather it is the rock that reflects us.'
- Julia Davis's Meniscii (2008): 'Sydney artist Julia Davis' Meniscii is so uncomplicated that its materials are listed as "mirror, sky, landscape". ... The work was intended to float on a lake in the gardens, but the biting drought caused the lake to recede and necessitated moving the Meniscii on to dry ground. "Water restrictions have gone up," Davis recalled being told in a January telephone call from the organisers. "You're going to have to re-think your work."'
- Steve Messam's Drop (2008): 'Drop will be moving about the Lake District, taking up residence at some of the "viewing stations" nominated by Thomas West in his 1778 book "Guide to the Lakes". Drop will act like another 18th Century device when inflated, the "Claude Glass" a small shaped mirror that early tourists would use to view the beauty of the Lakes through! But unlike the Claude Glass, which was held at arms length, this modern version can be touched and flexed allowing people to create their own reflected landscapes.'

My Secretary said there is a little girl waiting to see me.
The 'little girl 'walked into my room. I said "Hello" . I have never seen this girl before. Then the parents walked in. I immediately recognized the parents. The mother was nursing the baby who had a liver tumour. It was about a month after the surgery, when we had a fund raising event and Sachin Tendulkar was so moved by the story that he came and gave a personally signed bat to the family.
The girl is now 5 years old and they had come to see Mumbai. I asked her what she liked about Mumbai. She said 'shopping malls'. Yes of course, for a girl from a small town the shopping malls of Mumbai are the big attraction.I asked her if she had gone to the new aquarium and she said "yes, there are a lot of fish and I liked the gold fish". She was bubbly, full of life. She does not remember me and perhaps she does not even remember that she has been treated with chemotherapy and later undergone surgery for 12 hours and then recovery for another 12 days.
It is a moment of immense satisfaction to see the little girl and the grateful family.
I was lucky that day. Shravan, a young software engineer who was diagnosed with Stage IV gastric cancer, was practically given 6 months and asked wind up his affairs. He was treated with chemotherapy and then, rather unconventionally, we went in for surgery followed by radiotherapy. I was pleasantly surprised and happy that it is now about 3 years and he is having a productive career . In spite of being a middle class professional he had been generous to donate a substantial sum towards 'Crusade Against Cancer Foundation' always saying that he is grateful for this gift of life.
All of them say they are grateful for their 'second' life. I am truly modest to reply that it is their courage and God's will that brought about this happy outcome. I am just doing whatever I can do to the best of my capabilities.
In cancer you have two choices, either to give up or to fight. Giving up is very easy. Fighting for the patient needs time, effort and multidisciplinary planning by many individuals. First and foremost, the patient has to muster courage and literally lift the weapons. We can only render our shoulders to fire.
Meanwhile I can only say that if you, by God's grace succeeded in your fight, do help others. The only thing they need is a message that there are many victors in this world who have also battled and won.
God be with you!

As announced at InstructureCon 2018.
Badgr LTI
File uploaded by Stefanie Sanders on Jul 26, 2018Version 1Show DocumentHide Document

As announced at InstructureCon 2018.
Stefanie Sanders and firstname.lastname@example.com, at Instructurecon it was announced that Badgr would be a native feature in Canvas. But what exactly does that mean? The document here seems to outline how we setup Badgr in our courses prior to that announcement so I'm not clear on what's different in the integration.
Hi Audra Agnelly!
Good to see you in the Canvas community!
The announcement about Badgr becoming a native app was made at the conference, but it hadn't been implemented yet. We are currently working with engineers at Instructure to bring our partnership to fruition. While we put the finishing pieces in place, you may need to use the LTI method to install Badgr. By the end of September, we should complete this work, at which time users won't need to access the LTI install tool. The same great free features are available via the LTI or as a native Canvas app. Let us know if you have more questions. Cheers!
Thanks Kim Hammond. I do have a question about data sharing as we have some strict guidelines in our district. Once the native integration is complete, will student data just live in Canvas or is there data getting passed back to Badgr? If so, what data does Badgr receive?
Here is a link to our privacy policy. Happy reading!
Thanks Kim Hammond. How will the clause below be impacted by the native integration? Our district is K-12, are we going to have to tell elementary schools they can't use Badgr in Canvas, will we be able to disable the integration in our elementary courses, or will there be an update to this policy?
"No Use by Minors. The Service is intended for use by adults only. In connection with the Service, CSky does not promote to children and does not intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen (13). If you believe that a person under the age of thirteen (13), has disclosed personally identifiable information through the Service, please report this to us immediately by emailing us at: firstname.lastname@example.com with "Notice of Underage Person" in the subject line of your email."
Great question, Audra Agnelly! We are planning an update to the policy in the near future as part of our move toward GDPR compliance. The "no use by minors" is specifically meant for Badgr.com users. You may wish to check with your school for clarity, but if you've collected parental permission for student use of Canvas, Badgr may be covered. You can access the settings in your Canvas courses to hide the badges menu if you choose not to use it in a course.
I have attempted to follow these instructions for integrating Badgr into Canvas and have been unsuccessful thus far. I have admin rights, so I have tried at both the course and the subaccount level. I have completed the following steps in my attempts:
* Set up Badgr account
* Confirmed email address
* Created badges / pathways in Badgr
* Installed Badgr as an LTI tool at both the course and the subaccount level (tried both)
* Copied the values from my LTI shared secret and consumer key from Badgr into both the course and the subaccount level
* Refreshed page(s) multiple times.
We use the EduAppCenter, so these steps were taken there.
Each time I try, I receive the following error message:
"This badgr-server instance is not yet authorized to use the canvas instance: https://canvas.vanguard.edu
Please contact the badgr-server administrator at email@example.com."
Does anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? I have been trying for weeks and was hoping to get this going for a class that starts tomorrow. Our IT person suggested that rather than try at the course level that I use my admin rights to attempt at the subaccount level, but that didn't seem to work (produces the same error).
I'm grateful to anyone that has any insight on this.
Bonni Stachowiak | www.teachinginhighered.com | @bonni208
Hi Bonni,
Most Instructure-hosted URLs are are automatically preauthorized, but we had to manually authorize yours. You should be good to add the LTI now. Here is a checklist you can follow to get started. -Kim
Dear Kimberly Hammond,
I am up and running now with Badgr... and will make good use of the checklist you recommended.
With gratitude,
Bonni Stachowiak | www.teachinginhighered.com | @bonni208
Hi Kim,
Just like Bonni, we've experienced the same issue on our self hosted canvas hosted at https://canvas.anadolu.edu.tr. Could you please guide me on this?

Hello Mesut Aydemir,
If you have a self-hosted Canvas instance, please create a developer key and send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the key and secret along with the associated URLs you would like preauthorized. You may wish to connect and store your data on our European server at eu.badgr.io.
Hi Kim Hammond It's the end of September, do you have an update on the Native App integration with Canvas?
Thanks, Glen
Hi Glen Parker, Thanks for checking in. The work is taking a bit longer than expected but is still moving forward, so it may take a few more months. The good news is that it takes less than 5 minutes to do the LTI install. We just created a Badgr users' group in the Canvas community if you are interested in joining. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-15191-badgr-lti?commentID=128257&et=watches.email.outcome#comment-128257
If we install the LTI today, what differences will folks see once it goes native?
And, what's the Under/Over on January 1? How likely is it to be ready and released before the end of the year. If the UX or workflow is clearly different, then I am going to refrain from promoting/demo'ing until the native app arrives.
Hi Diana Perpich,
When Badgr becomes a native app in Canvas, there will be no difference in functionality or features. The engineering work to complete the integration is going a bit slower than we originally thought and my guess is that, given how busy the holiday season gets, it may not be completed by Jan 1. The good news is that if you begin using the LTI now, you'll be able to easily remove it without affecting ongoing courses.
Hi Kim Hammond,
I have a question.
Our instructors has been working with Canvabadges tool and their current courses were configured with this tool and the movement to Badgr were an important impact in their courses.
As we know this tool is no longer available since October 8th.
Does the Canvas Community were noticed about this movement to Badgr?
Thank you,
Diana Paola.
Hi Diana Paola Enriquez Varela,
At InstrucutreCarn last June, we announced a new partnership with Canvas, and began working with their engineers to provide Badgr as a native app. About the same time, we learned that Canvabadges would be going away and would no longer been maintained. In order for users to keep their previous Canvabadges, we migrated them to the Badgr platform over the summer. We worked with the Customer Success Managers at Instructure to communicate the plan to existing users. Here is a link to our Knowlege Base about the migration project. If you are ready to start using Badgr, here is a checklist to get started. You may contact our Help Desk anytime if you have questions about using Badgr or about your previously awarded Canvabadges.
Hi Kim.
Hope you'll be fine.
We have two instances of Canvas LMS (tec.instructure.com & tecmilenio.instructure.com). On the first one we have integrated Badgr with the keys that my account in badgr.io gave me. I need to integrate it on the second instance. Can I have this two instances integrated with the same keys? Or do I need to activate other account ir order to generate new keys?
Thank you again.
Best regars,
We would rather use a scoped developer key instead of the builtin inherited Badgr.io developer key, is this possible. If so, what are the endpoints that need to be enabled?
Hi Dane Bohman,
We should be able to accommodate this. Can you email firstname.lastname@example.com with details? -Kim

Millions of dollars in COVID-19 fines disproportionately hurting Black, Indigenous, marginalized groups: report
TORONTO -- Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia have issued nearly $13 million in COVID-related fines that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous and other marginalized groups, according to a new report issued by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Policing the Pandemic Mapping Project.
The Policing the Pandemic Mapping Project, launched in April, tracks what it describes as "the massive and extraordinary expansions to police power" enacted in response to the pandemic.
The CCLA said vulnerable groups impacted by the pandemic need public health support and not punitive law enforcement, and that these fines are paving the way for further racial profiling and discriminatory policing of groups including people of colour, those with precarious housing, recent immigrants, youth, members of the LGBTQ community, as well as certain religious minorities.
"From the stories people sent us, primarily from Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, the organizations we talked to, we know these are the communities that are both disproportionately impacted by this pandemic, and they're also the communities that are disproportionately impacted by fines and policing," Abby Deshman, the director of the Criminal Justice Program with the CCLA told CTV News Channel, adding that the vast majority of people are trying their best to comply with rules.
In one instance, a Black man relayed his unsettling encounter with law enforcement to the CCLA. He said he was walking in a Toronto park with his partner when they were stopped and questioned by a bylaw officer on whether they lived in the same household. He said the by-law officer and his team followed him for 25 minutes through the park, even after he and his partner decided to part ways and meet at home. Eventually, two Toronto Police Service cruisers also pulled up.
"I was afraid of what the bylaw officer's intentions were … Fearing for my life -- I am a 6'3" Black man with short dreadlocks -- I instructed the TPS officers that for my own safety, I needed to have the conversation with them closer to where more passersby could observe," the Toronto resident said in the report.
Later on in the encounter, he said "the TPS officer ... on numerous occasions threatened me with 'violent arrest' and 'jail on criminal charges.'"
According to the account, when he returned to the park half an hour later, he saw the same officer ignore numerous groups of white people and let them go in and out of the park undisturbed.
The report also noted that same-sex couples, for example, said they felt targeted by law enforcement because they were stopped, questioned about their relationship, and required to provide identification, while heterosexual couples walked by without being suspected of violating rules.
"It's just not an effective or rights-respecting way to respond to what is a public health -- not public order -- crisis … What people need is information, education, support," Deshman said.
The report estimated that 10,000 COVID-related charges were laid between April 1 and June 15, with 98 per cent of them issued in Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia. Quebec accounted for 77 per cent of all fines, followed by Ontario at 18 per cent, and Nova Scotia at three per cent.
Most of the fines were given over violations of provincial emergency legislation and various public health laws, specifically physical distancing and gathering requirements, the report said. Nearly three dozen alleged violations of the Criminal Code.
Quebec has issued $10.08 million in fines, while Ontario has issued $2.42 million worth of tickets. Nova Scotia has handed out $424,429.00 in tickets.
In Quebec, fines are typically $1,546, while in Ontario, it is $750. But there is a mandatory victim surcharge, which brings the total fine to $880, the report said. A ticket in Nova Scotia will typically set you back $697.50. In Saskatchewan, it's a hefty $2,000 minimum.
These fines are particularly crushing for students, seniors living on a fixed income, and many others, the report said, adding that language barriers for new immigrants and refugees also made navigating these rules challenging.
The CCLA said the focus on people's behaviour in public spaces also disproportionately affects those who rely on those spaces, including those living in shelters or on the streets.
"When you go and approach a person who's living on the street and hand them a $1,500 fine, as it's been happening in Quebec, that person is even further pushed from the social support and health infrastructure they need in order to keep themselves and the community safe," Deshman said.
Community organizations in Quebec reported to the CCLA that many of their homeless clients have received tickets for alleged physical distancing violations. The rise in police targeting reinforces the distrust that already exists between authorities and these groups, the group said, "directly undermining an effective public health response".
"When you do a law enforcement approach, what ends up happening is you get arbitrary, sometimes unfair enforcement, and you also end up marginalizing the very at-risk communities that need the most support," said Deshman.
After Trinity Bellwoods Park, a public park in Toronto, saw a massive influx of people gathering during one of the first nice weekends of the year, the city painted circles on the grass as a guide for physical distancing requirements. Deshman says these types of simple measures are far more effective and supportive in getting people to comply.
"We actually do not need fines in order to respond to this pandemic," she said. She noted examples across the country, such as in B.C., where legal orders were much less restrictive and very few fines were issued. Instead of legally enforceable orders, strong public health recommendations on staying home, keeping distance, staying in a bubble helped the province successfully flatten their curve.
The Policing the Pandemic Mapping Project is co-founded by Alexander McClelland, of University of Ottawa and Alex Luscombe, of the University of Toronto.

Lady Wolves chalk up another loss in RS
January 31, 2018
It was a rough Thursday night for the Green River Lady Wolves basketball team when they took on the Rock Springs Lady Tigers.
The Lady Wolves started off slow in the first quarter, falling behind right away. By the end of the first quarter, they were down by 16 points, 26-10.
Head coach Rick Carroll said the Lady Wolves worked hard in the second quarter to close the deficit and even outscored the Lady Tigers, 18-12. At halftime, they were down by 10.
Carroll said he really has to give the Lady Wolves credit for working hard and coming back in the second quarter. During the third and fourth...

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9–11
One day every knee will bow as Christ breaks through the clouds and is seen by every living soul in this earth. We're currently experiencing a time akin to Noah's. A time where people are turning away from our loving Father and turning to the world and their own desires. Every Christian should feel God's grief and fervently seek to spread the "good news" of Jesus Christ.

2019 Best Prior Authorization Solutions: Availity
It may be impossible to name any task more unpleasant than waiting on hold with an insurance carrier in an attempt to obtain prior authorization for a patient procedure, referral, or medication. In our prior authorization review of the best solutions for 2019, we've ranked seven vendors as top options to help physician practices automate and speed up pre authorization for their patients. Second on our list of top 7 prior authorization solutions for 2019 is Availity.
Here, we provide an in depth review of our #2 choice, Availity Authorization Solution.
Pros of Availity
The Availity platform automates the prior authorization process, making it faster and easier to receive confirmation from health plans. Historically a leader in EDI services, with its acquisition of FORE Support Services out of El Paso, TX, Availity now offers prior authorization automation. Instead of waiting days and following up via phone, fax, and email, a practice can determine almost immediately whether an authorization is required, submit it, and receive status confirmation. If an authorization cannot be obtained automatically, the solution helps the provider's team answer clinical questions by automating the remaining steps. When needed, you can also to talk to an experienced pre-certification support professional.
Cons of Availity Prior Authorization Platform
If there are any cons about the application, it would be for more payers to adopt electronic determination of benefits so that the process was streamlined for more plans and more patient scenarios. But more and more insurance payers are adopting EDI standards for electronic transactions.

Ottawa Fashion Week has come and gone and I have to say I'm a little proud. I didn't attend this season but from a distance I can tell the event has grown. The Ottawa International Film Festival also seems to be going strong recently finishing their 72-hour challenge.
I've always seen these attractions as good for economic development, but I've begun to see that they serve a greater purpose for city-building and developing local identity.
Two of the ways in which they do that is by (a) providing a platform or outlet for people's crafts, and (b) inspiring people to dream.
As a child I always wanted to be a baseball player when I grew up. That dream came about after regular visits to Exhibition Stadium with my family to watch the Blue Jays. I was a huge Jesse Barfield fan. I wanted to hit home runs like him and throw people out at the plate from deep in right field like him. I even practiced his hitting stance in the mirror. If the Blue Jays weren't in Toronto I would've never joined a baseball league or dreamed of being a pro baseball player. Their presence in the city alone made me a dreamer.
Today there are quite a few basketball players from the Greater Toronto Area who have either made it to the NBA or are in American high schools and the NCAA hoping to go pro in a few years. The Raptors have inspired a generation of young Raptors fans to one day play in the NBA.
Once people have dreamed and have begun to pursue their passions, these kinds of attractions also give people an outlet to work and grow in their craft.
Bluesfest has given groups like Philly Moves a significant local platform to work their craft. Ottawa Fashion Week and the Ottawa International Film Festival have given local fashion designers and film makers an outlet for their craft.
New attractions like Nuit Blanche, AA baseball, NASL soccer, and CFL football will also give aspiring local artists and athletes both inspiration and/or a possible platform.
Big cities like Toronto attract people because they inspire them with possibilities and provide so many outlets for people to work in their craft, especially on a full-time basis. Ottawa is slowly getting to that place, partly through the attractions that are growing in the city.
Today Ottawa is only known for government and technology, but how many of our children will aspire to be athletes, artists, fashion designers, film makers, and musicians because of the platforms that are being built in our city today? How many people would be able to stay in Ottawa and be successful in their craft because there's a platform available in the city instead of having to move elsewhere?
Many people, including myself, have said Ottawa is becoming a big city because it's becoming more dense and it's getting proper rail infrastructure (including a subway), but I also believe what is making Ottawa a big city is that through the hard work of some visionary people it's slowly starting to build those platforms and ecosystems in certain industries that will allow people to aspire and work in the area of their passions.
Some people are mourning the shrinking of our technology sector and cuts to the public service, which are unfortunate, but it's time to get excited about the growth of fashion, art, music, sports, and film in our city. Ottawa is growing up right before our eyes!

The Office of Human Resources sent out an email on Sept. 26 to remind University staff and faculty of a required sexual harassment training program that they must all complete.
According to the email, the training is composed of two parts: the first part is an online Title IX training and the second an in-person training.
The online training became accessible the week of Sept. 29, while the in-person training will take place later this fall, the email stated. A specific date for the in-person training was not provided in the email.
Neither Vice President for Human Resources Scot Bemis nor Executive Director for Integrated Media Bill Schaller responded by press time to address questions on why the trainings are being held and who is holding the trainings.
According to the email, the University Advisory Council Subcommittee on Sexual Violence and the Faculty Senate will be discussing implementation of the recommendations of the faculty report on sexual violence that they commissioned.
According to a Nov. 1, 2013 Faculty Senate report from Prof. Bernadette Brooten (NEJS) regarding the UAC Subcommittee on Sexual Violence, the subcommittee was looking to address questions as to whether or not faculty members should be required to report instances of sexual violence.
In addition, there was a question regarding whether the reporting structure should begin through the Psychological Counseling Center or the Department of Public Safety.
In the meeting minutes, which are posted on the University's website, an Oct. 26, 2013 letter that Brooten wrote is included, which states that she hopes the Faculty Senate will promote education and discussion on the topic of sexual harassment.
"As faculty members, we have multiple interests: we need to ensure full academic freedom; we need to advocate for our students' right to an environment free of harassment; and we need to ensure that grievance procedures are fair to both parties," wrote Brooten.
"University policies will only be effective if they are widely known, understood, and agreed to by the faculty," the letter continued.
The UAC Subcommittee on Sexual Violence was created in February 2013 "to examine Brandeis's policies concerning sexual violence and their implementation," and delivered its report to Provost Steve Goldstein '78 and the Faculty Senate in June, according to Brooten in an email to the Justice.
