Credit where credit is due.
Police have arrested two Brooklyn men who were allegedly ripping off credit card and cash machine users in Bath Beach.
Officers pinched Elvin Pineda of Gravesend and Luis Fernandez of Sunset Park on Oct. 15 as they were allegedly drilling into a cash machine inside the TD Bank in the Caesar's Bay Shopping Center at 1:30 am, police said. Cops also found 72 Xanax pills on the pair, a criminal complaint states.
After arresting the men, detectives grilled them at the 62nd Precinct station house, and police say the suspects admitted they were taking parts from the machines to ship to China to help manufacture skimming devices a report states. When affixed to cash machines and other card readers, skimming devices capture bank card information of unwitting users that identity thieves use to duplicate bank cards and make unauthorized transactions.
Police say Pineda told them he had equipment for producing fake credit cards at his Bay 47th Street apartment. The department secured a warrant and searched the residence, finding sophisticated printers and embossing machines to turn sheets of plastic into legit-looking credit cards, the complaint states.
The two suspects were arraigned on Oct. 16, court records show.
Prosecutors are charging Fernandez and Pineda with criminal mischief, criminal tampering, and possession of a forged device. Pineda is facing hundreds of additional counts of possession of a forged device for the phony credit cards allegedly found in his apartment, the complaint states.
Pineda's attorney declined to comment, and Fernandez's attorney could not be reached for comment.

Annual Sports Day Fun
Last weekend Tiger girl and Doggie boy participated in their school's annual sports day. It was Tiger girl's fist time participating and Doggy boy's last year to participate as he leaves for elementary school next year.
As it was her first time participating in a relay the teachers were on hand to guide her through every step of the relay. R and I were cheering her on from the sidelines and she really enjoyed herself.
Tiger girl's group came in 2nd position and she was given a silver medal for her effort.
Doggie boy had a more complicated relay to tackle as compared to the one Tiger girl had. He had to take a paper boat, run with it, blow it across a tray and then carry the paper boat over to the end basket and drop it in before running back again.
It was a great effort and he was really proud that his team came in first and they won a gold medal each.
It was great fun for both the kids and they came home with a medal each.

Bring back the multi racial national schools of the yester years.
Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin unveiled the country's new education blueprint aimed at revamping the education system into one that is supposed to produce global players. While the attempt to revamp is a welcomed one but the movers who are supposed to shift the current system and implement the new dynamic education system seem to be the same people whose actions and inactions deteriorated the current system. Will the hardliners both at the political and bureaucracy level allow the smooth liberalization and transformation of the new system? Will Perkasa and the like allow the decentralization of school authorities, depolarization in schools and liberalization in religious education in the current system?
All the previous attempts like the implementation of smart schools and the teaching of maths and science in English have been waste of billions of ringgit. Malaysia never lacked good laws, policies and plans but the implementation is where the flip flop, changing of goal post and the half hearted execution leading to the current quagmire in the education system.
In 2006, a national education blueprint 2006-2010 was released by the then prime minister Tun Abdullah Badawi to bring about revolution in education. The Blueprint goals was to establishing a National Pre-School Curriculum, setting up 100 new classes for students with special needs, increasing the percentage of single-session schools to 90% for primary schools and 70% for secondary schools, and decreasing class sizes in primary schools and in secondary schools by the year 2010. Are they achieved? Did the 2006 blueprint address the problem of racial polarization in schools as envisaged? Taking into consideration the religious fervor in the education system, can the system be ever reformed by the same staff who allowed the religiosity to take root?
Now the 2012 national education blueprint was released by Datuk Najib Tun Razak to make 11 strategic and operational shifts to transform the country's education system. Will it face the same predicament as the earlier ones? Unless the ministry of education makes a structural overhaul, recruiting multi racial talents with wide experience from different backgrounds, transformation may not be possible.
One generation of good and effective headmasters were replaced with mediocre performers. The same mediocre headmasters and ministry officials are given the responsibility to bring about transformation in schools. The comments from teachers indicate that they don't have confidence in their heads to give fair assessment. For transformation to take place all selection and decision making bodies in education ministry be made multi racial and multi lingual in view of the fact that we have Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, Tamil and agama schools. The imbibing of critical thinking and analytical discourse must start from teachers themselves.
Minister of education should set up a team to study the underlying reason as to why the non Malay students shun national schools and prefer vernacular schools? Despite the highest spending on education, Malaysia doesn't have much to show in terms of achievements and results. Achievers must be rewarded and recruited into civil service regardless of race and religion to bring about genuine transformationExplore posts in the same categories: From the desk of Senator S Ramakrishnan

text: Date: Tue, 09/02/2014 DSC_2230.JPG Sept. 2, 2014 Contact: Katie McKalip, 406-240-9262, firstname.lastname@example.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: On Eve of 50th Anniversary of Land and Water Conservation Fund, 19 Sportsmen's Groups Call on Congress to Fully Fund LWCF LWCF, a key tool for conserving fish and wildlife resources and improving sportsmen's access, is perenially shortchanged by Congress WASHINGTON – The nation's leading hunting and fishing conservation organizations are calling on the United States Congress to fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a critical tool for conserving valuable fish and wildlife habitat and improving public access for hunting and fishing. The request comes in a report released today, the eve of the LWCF's 50th anniversary. "The Land and Water Conservation Fund and America's sportsmen and women: A 50-year legacy of increased access and improved habitat" features a series of state-based case studies that profile places and people across that country that have benefited as a result of LWCF funding. "From Louisiana to Alaska and Maine to California, the Land and Water Conservation Fund is one of the most important federal programs for conserving habitat and providing public access to lands and waters," said Whit Fosburgh, president and CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. "Yet despite the fund's many conservation success stories, it has gone underfunded for too long, and many opportunities to improve game and fish resources have been missed due to a perpetual lack of funding. Now is the time for Congress to live up to its commitment and fully fund the LWCF." Groups collaborating on the report are the American Fly Fishing Trade Association, American Sportfishing Association, Archery Trade Association, B.A.S.S., Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Delta Waterfowl, Ducks Unlimited, Izaak Walton League of America, Mule Deer Foundation, National Wild Turkey Federation, Pheasants Forever, Pope and Young Club, Professional Bowhunters Society, Quail Forever, Quality Deer Management Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, Trout Unlimited and Wild Sheep Foundation. "Hunters and anglers are an economic engine within the United States, spending a combined total of approximately $90 billion in 2011 alone," said Mule Deer Foundation President Miles Moretti. "These expenditures help create hundreds of thousands of jobs at the local, state and national levels. An increased commitment to the Land and Water Conservation Fund by Congress would help to sustain and grow America's hunting and fishing based economy." Established in 1964 through a bipartisan act of Congress, the federal LWCF is supported through royalties paid by energy companies drilling for oil and gas on the Outer Continental Shelf. The fund's promise, however, is eclipsed by the fact that, since 1978, the LWCF has been fully funded only once. "Over and over again there have been worthwhile projects that would benefit fish and wildlife and access for sportsmen – projects that have broad public support," said Becky Humphries, executive vice president of conservation for the National Wild Turkey Federation. "But what is missing is financial support from the Land and Water Conservation Fund due to inadequate funding for the program. American sportsmen are calling on our federal decision makers to ensure full funding for the LWCF." State-by-state case studies in the new report show how the LWCF benefits sportsmen, with Montana, Utah, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alaska, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Idaho and the Dakotas among those featured. The report also highlights projects that would benefit fish and game resources and improve access to hunters and anglers but have stalled due to a lack of available LWCF dollars. "For 50 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has done, from a sportsman's perspective, exactly what it was intended to do: protect crucial fish and wildlife habitat to help sustain our nation's rich outdoor traditions," said Steve Moyer, Trout Unlimited vice president for government affairs. Sportsmen will deliver the report to members of Congress and brief members in key committee positions. Read the report.

The Pickerington High School Central football team overcame a 16-point deficit and snapped a three-game losing streak to Pickerington North with a 30-23 overtime victory over the visiting Panthers on Oct. 3.
The Pickerington High School Central football team overcame a 16-point deficit and snapped a three-game losing streak to Pickerington North with a 30-23 overtime victory over the visiting Panthers on Oct. 3.
With 29.4 seconds left, Central kicker Devon McMillin made a 27-yard field goal to send the game to overtime.
Then in the extra session, quarterback R.J. Williams hit Garon Howard for a 3-yard touchdown pass for the game's final score.
The Tigers then kept the Panthers out of the end zone to seal a victory that improved their record to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the OCC-Ohio Division.
North - which also has lost two games by one point this season - fell to 1-5 overall and 1-2 in the league.
"We knew we could do it and that it might come down to that," Williams said. "It means a lot. We've been talking about this for years now."
North took a 3-0 lead with 7:18 left in the first quarter when Alex Strohm's 45-yard field-goal attempt hit the left upright but went through.
With 5:33 left in the first period, North's Bralen Wilson appeared to be stopped at the line of scrimmage but broke through and ran for 70 yards to the Central 1. Stephvan Tanner scored on the next play to make it 9-0 but the extra-point attempt was blocked by Chaz Holley.
Williams fumbled on the next play, with the Panthers' Kyle Beemiller falling on it at the Central 37.
Four plays later, Wilson had the ball knocked into the air on a run attempt and into the hands of teammate Brandon James, who ran 15 yards for a touchdown as North took a 16-0 lead.
Central cut it to 16-7 on a 5-yard touchdown run by Noah Burk with 1:21 left in the first quarter. The drive was set up by a North fumble that was recovered by Seth Currens.
The Tigers made it 16-14 on a 31-yard run by Burk with 6:46 left in the first half, then took a 20-16 lead with 3:13 to go in the third period when Devon Felder ran for 72 yards after receiving a backward pass from Matt Martello.
North retook the lead at 23-20 with 1:08 to go in the third when Liam Carothers returned an interception 9 yards for a touchdown.
"Devon McMillin made that field goal and our guys just made a gutsy play at the end," Central coach Jay Sharrett said. "We're happy to be 6-0 and 3-0."
"I think both of us had mistakes and that was just the way the ball fell tonight," North coach Tom Phillips said. "I think they were on (the North 45) with about two minutes to go in the game and our defense has to step up there."

4 former Montgomery County priests among those accused of child sex abuse
Two former priests at Conroe's Sacred Heart Catholic Church were included on a list of more than 40 priests credibly accused of child sex abuse since the 1950s. The list was released Thursday by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
One of the priests is Manuel La Rosa-Lopez, who currently has four criminal counts of indecency with a child pending against him. The charges stemmed from the alleged abuse of two teens at Sacred heart from 1998 to 2000.
Though he most recently served as the pastor at St. John Fisher Catholic Church in Richmond, he turned himself in to the police in September.
La Rosa-Lopez was first removed from ministry in 2001, but returned and was removed again in 2018 when he was arrested.
The other priest, Richard Edelin, served at Sacred Heart for just a few months: from May to December in 1985. Prior to his service in Conroe, he was accused of groping a 17-year-old girl while at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Houston from 1980 to 1984.
BREAKING: Here are names of Houston-area priests 'credibly accused' of child sexual abuse
In 1996, the woman filed a complaint with then-Bishop Joseph Fiorenza in 1996. As previously reported, the Galveston-Houston Archdiocese sent the alleged victim an apology and $5,000 for counseling expenses.
Because the church officials said they were unable to confirm the allegations, Edelin returned to the service in 2005 and was transferred to a parish in Oregon before being removed from public service in 2013.
At the 12:10 p.m. mass Thursday at Conroe's Sacred Heart Catholic Church, the Rev. Joseph Manapuram addressed the list directly.
"As you know, all the different dioceses of Texas are publishing the names of clergy who have abused children," Manapuram said.
He encouraged the 75 parishioners in attendance that they should live exemplary lives with children, who are innocent and should be loved and respected. Manapuram then led a prayer of intercession for the abused.
When asked for further comment about the list's release, Manapuram said that all additional questions should be directed to the Archdiocese.
Parishioner Nicette Humphreys said that each Sunday, the father leading mass will talk about the list and ask the congregation to pray for the victims — as well as the priests accused.
EXPANDED LIST: See the names of the accused priests across Texas
"I think that they should definitely pay for their sins, for whatever they've done to these poor children," Humphreys said.
While Humphreys wasn't attending Sacred Heart when Edelin or La Rosa-Lopez were assigned there, she said that they too should pay the price for their sins.
"They shouldn't be any different than anybody else," Humphreys said.
Other parishioners who attended Thursday's mass, but declined to give their names, said that while the whole ordeal is heartbreaking, they are glad the church is being transparent.
The Archdiocese determined that credible allegations are those where there is reason to believe the allegation is true after review of reasonably available, relevant information in consultation with the group's review board.
The review board worked with Kinsale Management Consulting, who identified the files for review, and Cardinal Daniel DiNardo to compile the list.

According to a statement on the group's website, the list is not the equivalent of finding guilt by a jury or judge in a court of law, nor does it establish that the allegation is proven.
Priests who served at other area parishes were included on the list. Rodrigo Guillermo, who allegedly served at St. Matthias the Apostle Catholic Church in Magnolia, retired and was removed from the ministry in 1994. He died in 2015.
The church's secretary would not comment and directed all questions to the Archdiocese.
Accused priest Robert Ramon served at St. John of the Cross Catholic Church in New Caney from 1995 to 1997. While the church's secretary also would not comment, Ramon's bishop accountability assignment record shows that he was accused of sexually abusing a minor female a few years before in 1991."The diocese investigated and determined there was no evidence. Per the request of the girl's family, the diocese provided counseling. The sessions ended after a few months, and the family threatened to sue. They filed a civil lawsuit in 1993," the record states.
Ramon was removed from ministry and resigned from priesthood in 2002. He died in 2014.

"The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration" ~ Claude Monet
"The poetry of the earth is never dead." ~ John Keats
Great artists knew it. Great poets understood it.
Connecting with nature is good for us!
During the summer we often spend more time than usual outside in nature and in countless outdoor activities. As summer winds down we accelerate back into the more hectic lifestyle of school starting and holidays on the horizon. During this increased stress it is even more vital to our wellness to keep a bit of summer in our daily lives by getting outside regularly. Here are just three of the benefits of doing that.:
- Natural sunlight is a rich source of Vitamin D for our body. We continue to learn how good Vitamin D is for our health and how critical it is for our body's systems and how it strengthens our immune system.
- Being outdoors gives us a break from the technology we have allowed to not just run our lives, but to run over our lives. In the process our spirit, energy, and often our health is flattened like a dried-up leftover tortilla. Even short term activities outside: a walk, gardening, watering plants, playing with kids, walking the dog, sitting or talking outside with real-life friends rather than online Facebook posts, have the powerful effect of clearing, refocusing, and inspiring our minds.
- We soon discover that restlessness and increased anxiety of our stressed out life dissolve in a bath of natural sunlight. Once that happens we have more room for inspiration and for that magnificent attribute of peace to move into our being.
Make a plan. The days will be getting shorter as we move from summer to autumn and into winter. Consider how you can keep even just a small piece of summer in your life, then enjoy it.

ITS (Information Technology Services) is the place to turn on campus with any questions or problems you are having that are tech related! All of their services are free of charge and their office is located at 2800 University Capitol Centre. They can also be contacted by phone at 319-384-4357 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com. In addition, ITS offers 24/7 Emergency Technical Support for times their desk is not open. For step by step instructions on this click here.
First things first, there are two options for wifi on campus…
- eduroam – (There is a constant debate over the pronunciation… Ed-you-roam? Ee-dee-you-roam?) This is usually preferred. It is the more secure of the two networks and is maintained by the univeristy. You sign in with your HawkID@uiowa and your password (same as you use for all the other univeristy websites).
- attwifi – This is the guest wifi network… but.. you can use this! The network isn't as secure, meaning DO NOT use it to access private information (bank account, Social Security Number, credit card information, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) info, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPPA, ..etc.).
Have you ever studied in the Art Library? How about the MacLean 3rd floor computer lab? The computer lab in your Res Hall? It's easy to find yourself in your lofted bed with your laptop, a Little Debbie cake in each hand, on your laptop. However, the University of Iowa has a number of awesome tech resources, including 26 buildings with computer labs and over 1,000 work stations! For a full list of the labs open on campus at any given time, including options for filtering printer needs/ Mac vs PC check out this link!
Also, an easy way to send any document from your laptop to any print release station on campus is to use this link!
What type of computer you get should not be the crucial issue, if you choose to get your own laptop. As a student, you are offered discounts with a number of brands (Apple, Dell, Lenovo.. and probably more that I am just unaware of!). You also receive a discount on buying laptops at the Hawk Shop in the IMU. I would personally recommend emailing a professor or department head from the field you are majoring in and see if there is any more or less ease in what sort of operating system you use, though (Mac OS, Linux, Microsoft Windows..etc). Majority of programs offer variations of programs for different operating systems.
As a student, you have access to a lot of awesome free software. ITS is available to help you download any of these programs if you have questions (they offer free software repair and troubleshooting). Otherwise… to see which programs you have access to and for links for the free downloads, check out this link.

Edwin Smutt, Elevation Transport
Elevation Transport has been using Snappii app since Oct 2018 .
Snappii built the app with our requirements needed to reduce handling of paper invoice and BOL for our customers. This is a real time saver all the way around. Our drivers are able to send the electronic document from where ever they are in the USA. Make the office reduce time with not having to manually go through stacks of paper when drivers return to home terminal. This app does save time in the billing cycle with proof of signatures on the BOL.
This is a wonderful app and a real time saver.
This company has gone from many paper items to 0 paper needed for our purpose.
We love it.
John Bennett, Executive Director, Sunny Days In-Home Care, Inc.
Snappii has been a game-changer for our home care agency. Our management staff is constantly in the field as we provide care care for seniors throughout most of Western Pennsylvania. It has enabled our company to scale and increase our geographical footprint while keeping overhead down. Snappii did a great job of building out our app initially, and thanks to the user-friendly system, we are able to update the app on our own. Support has been great and is also quick to respond to any questions that we may have. We honestly could not run our business at this time without our Snappii App!
Dave Simmons, COO New Business, Tourism Holdings Limited
I stumbled upon Snappii by chance and gave them a brief to work on to try them out. I'm delighted to say we have had a great experience working with the Snappii team. We have found them to be extremely responsive and very quick to turn development requests around. We look forward to developing our partnership with Snappii.
Colin Stokes, Adiuvo
Our whole experience of Snappii has been a pleasure, didn`t think it is possible to create such a professional app so quickly and easily!
Jason Conn, ATCi
The whole Snappii Team, is top notch, in customer service. ATCi and Snappii are very similar, in the aspect of customer service. It is something that many companies lack these days, so I appreciate the time you put in, to help us along. We work in public safety mapping, and we have a lot of customers, waiting on this App. They have requested a way to see their 911 address data, out in the field, and Snappii has helped us accomplish that. This App is going to be something special! It just might help save a life. Thank you again!
Curtis Hrdlicka, GLV Travellers
We love the app. Now that I have the system worked out, I can get a new form up and running in no time, and it will save us hundreds of man hours when it comes time to audit our safety program.
David Banaszynski, LEHP, REHS Environmental Health Officer
My name is David Banaszynski and I have worked for the Village of Hoffman Estates, IL since 1997. I was finally able to get an iPad approved in the budget a few months ago. One of the first things I did when I got it was to look for any health inspection apps that were out there. I was able to find one through Snappii and have been using it ever since. I no longer need to show up at inspections with a bevy of tools and equipment. All I need is my smartphone and/or tablet. While I use the app every day for food inspections in the future I plan to use their other apps for the rest of my checklist style inspections (pools, daycare, etc.) So far the only disadvantage is having facilities/owners that do not have email addresses. Luckily these are few and far in between. The few issues that I have had with the app have been addressed within days if not hours. I look forward to working with Snappii in the future and seeing what other offerings they can provide.
Kim Reaves, Hyster
Tami Wilhelm, Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre
We are home to California's Official State Outdoor Drama "Ramona". We are a six thousand seat outdoor venue and historical landmark. After 92 years we knew our marketing needed to be modernized but wouldn't trust just any one. We hired the Snappi team and have never looked back! They are fast, efficient, professional, accessible and affordable!
We love our Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre App! Thanks Snappi!
Jen Miller, Bottled Oracle
Working with Snappii was an awesome experience. The were efficient, knowledgeable, responsive, and solution seekers. In the course of our app development there were unpredictable technical issues (as can happen with technology!). The Snappii team was amazing, working around the clock to get everything resolved and running smoothly. Listen, great reviews are out there and I'm not sure how many are truthful – but this is one you should listen to. A lot of teams can get the job done, but I'm confident that none will either be as personally invested or be as phenomenal in the foxhole under pressure. They are the team you want in this process; I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Steve Simpson, Southern Union State Community College
My experience with this EMS app has been nothing but good! The pro's of this app are too many to list. We tracked this data by paper until Snappii developed an app that tracks in real time. Now I get instant reports and can provide real-time feed back to the students. Snappii stands behind their product and bugs are fixed as soon as they are reported (the only problem that we have had was when Andriod sent out an update. Snappii was on it and had it fixed ASAP).
Ann Majchrzak, University of Southern California
I teach a class on Business Process Redesign for business students. We are using Snappii so the students are able to do and end-to-end design, starting with a company that has problems, then doing a process redesign of the company, and then taking a portion of the new process and automating it with Snappii as a mobile application. None of the students had any programming experience.

Orthopedic Medical Transcription Sample Reports for Medical Transcriptionists:
OPERATION PERFORMED: Complex right total hip arthroplasty.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION: The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in supine fashion on the operating room table. General anesthesia was induced. A Foley catheter was placed and the patient was turned on the patient's left side and was well padded in position with a Stulberg hip positioner. The right hip and leg were prepped and draped in sterile fashion. Ioban sheet was used and gloves were changed. We first excised the prior 20 cm lateral hip scar and then extended it 5 cm distally and 10 cm proximally in order to make our approach to the hip in the posterolateral position. We put the iliotibial band and gluteus maximus in line with their fibers. We then proceeded to dissect through all the previous scar tissue very meticulously and tediously, protecting the sciatic nerve carefully throughout the case. Once we created the subfascial planes, we placed a Charnley retractor over antibiotic-soaked sponges. We identified the tendon of the gluteus medius and placed a blunt Hohmann retractor under it to protect it. We then proceeded to take down the external rotators and the capsule as one layer from the posterior greater trochanter while we internally rotated the hip. We also released the gluteal sling 1 cm from this insertion of the posterolateral femur to facilitate exposure and protect the nerve. We then dissected the external rotators away from the capsule and tagged the ends of the capsule after we T'ed it to use for later repair. There was no sign of any infection and there was a normal amount of fluid within the joint. We dislocated the hip by carefully flexing and internally rotating in adduction. We measured the lesser trochanter to the center of head. This is to be 46 mm. We made a neck 10 mm above the top of the lesser trochanter with a reciprocating saw and noted the patient's anteversion to be approximately 15 degrees. The patient's major deformity was of the greater trochanter itself, which was hypertrophic anteriorly and moderately overhanging and then distal to our neck cut, the bone is very sclerotic for a distance of 8 cm down the femoral canal. We then placed retractors around all four quadrants of the acetabulum and excised the labrum with a transverse acetabular ligament and we did very conservative reaming in 25 degrees of anteversion and 45 degrees adduction with progressive reamers up to a 49 mm size in order to preserve as much of the patient's native bone stock as possible due to the patient's young age. We then carefully impacted in a DePuy Pinnacle acetabular shell 50 mm in size and this fit very securely. We however elected to augment it with a single screw 25 mm in length at the 12 o'clock position, achieving a good bite with this. We grasped the edge of the cup, but a Kocher clamp could not budge it. We then impacted in a 32 mm plus 4 offset 0 degree Marathon liner and checked it for security. We protected this with a sponge and turned our attention to the femur. At this point, the case became more complex than standard, as we expected. We internally rotated the femur to 90 degrees, placed a proximal femoral neck retractor. We noted that a standard canal finding rod could not pass the healed sclerotic and neocortical bone in the proximal 10 cm of the femur. We therefore used the Midas Rex very carefully, under direct vision, and created a passage into the proximal femur. Into this, we inserted our guide rod under direct vision and then we sucked out the canal. We then used an 8, then a 9, then a 10 reamer, and at this point, given the unusual geometry of the patient's proximal femur, I was concerned that we had somehow penetrated the femoral canal, and therefore, we just split the incision down another 10 cm distally in the skin and the IT band and exposed the femur further down, and noted that underneath the lesser trochanter, there was a well corticated track from previous fixation hardware and on the exact opposite side of the femur where one would except a lag screw to be put, and this is where our reamers had gone through but not made a new channel in and of themselves. Therefore, we kept this area exposed and then we re-reamed the proximal femur using the Midas Rex to bypass the segment under direct visualization. There was a 5 x 8 cm defect in this region of the posteromedial femur. We planned on strut grafting this at the end of the case. We next progressively reamed with reamers up to a size of 11 and had a good bite with this reamer and then used a 16B conical reamer and then used the ZTT sleeve reamer. I chose a small ZTT sleeve size matching the patient's anteversion between 15 and 20 degrees. We then placed an allograft strut around the medial side of the femur, just below the lesser trochanter, where the previous defect had been and cabled it, but did not crimp the cable sleeves and placed a trial 16B small ZTT sleeve followed by a 16 x 11 x 150 S-ROM stem matching the patient's anteversion between 15 and 20 degrees. We used a neutral neck length and a 32 trial head. We reduced the hip and it reduced very nicely and stability was excellent with flexion, 90 internal rotation, 60 external rotation, 45 abduction, 45 adduction across the midline. At this point, we elected to take an x-ray of the patient, given the patient's distorted femoral anatomy, and found our stem was in varus and needed to be redirected and resized. We therefore dislocated the hip and removed our trial femoral component. We then used the Midas Rex to lateralize our opening on the proximal femur into the greater trochanter and then reamed up from 16 proximal to 18 proximal after having reamed distally to a 13 mm distal diameter. We re-did our ZTT sleeve reaming and this time showed 18 x 13 x 160 plus 6 lateral offset with an 18B large ZTT sleeve. We obtained another x-ray and this x-ray showed excellent position of our trial components. We then dislocated the hip and removed all of the trial components. We then proceeded to impact in an 18B large ZTT sleeve. This fit very nicely. We then went to impact our 18 x 13 x 160 S-ROM stem in between 15 and 20 degrees of anteversion, as we had done on the trial, and we got it down with 2 cm of fully seating on the ZTT sleeve and it incarcerated at this point. Reviewing the patient's x-rays, it seemed that the tip of the stem had been impinging somewhat on the anterolateral cortex of the femur distally and that the patient's very hard diaphyseal bone was not accepting this, and so to avoid breaking the patient's femur, we attempted to extract the stem with a slap hammer. This was not successful. We therefore performed first a monovalving of the proximal femur down to almost the level where the tip of the stem was, using the previous posteromedial cortical defect as a center line guide for this. We used the oscillating saw for this monovalving and this still would not let us extract the femur safely. We therefore used a drill bit to round off the tip of this monovalving at the mid portion of the femur after extending our incision down another 10 cm and then we used the Midas Rex R10 bur to connect these drill holes and bring them up proximally from the tip of the sliding osteotomy for 4 cm. This allowed us to extract the stem tip easily and without causing damage to the femur. We then placed 2.0 Dall-Miles cables around the femur distal to where a sliding trochanteric osteotomy had been made and tightened this up and crimped it. This was to prevent a splitting of the femur we actually put the stem down. We then temporally cabled the distal osteotomy with two 2.0 Dall-Miles cables tightened down but not crimped, and then we crimped the most distal one, and then we put in 2.0 Dall-Miles cables around the greater trochanteric region just above the lesser trochanter on the femoral neck and then tightened this down but did not crimp it. This gave us stability for an implantation of our stem and we elected to over-ream the distal canal by 0.5 cm. We used a 13.5 reamer distally and then inserted our stem after suctioning out the canal and this inserted very nicely and very securely in 20 degrees of anteversion with excellent seating. We then did a trial reduction with the neutral neck length. We were very pleased with this. An identical range of motion as we had with the previous trial. We then tightened and crimped the Dall-Miles cable sleeves and then we used two 1.5 Dall-Miles cables and sleeve with a shaped strut femoral allograft over the lateral posteromedial defect as prior and tightened these cables and crimped them. Our overall construct was very solid at this point and range of motion of the patient's hip was excellent as well as the stability. We then thoroughly irrigated and then placed the deep 10 mm JP drain above through a separate anterolateral stab wound and we closed the vastus lateralis with a running locking 0 Vicryl. We closed the capsule in capsular noose fashion with #1 figure-of-eight Ethibond sutures. Re-attached the external rotators to the greater trochanter with #1 Ethibond and closed the rotator interval. We closed the fascia and the gluteal sling with #1 figure-of-eight Ethibond sutures. We closed the subcutaneous tissue with two layers of 2-0 Vicryl and the skin with staples. We infiltrated the wound with 0.25% Marcaine and applied sterile dressing followed by an abduction pillow and transported the patient to the recovery room in satisfactory condition. Sponge and needle counts were verified correct x2.

John Doe, MD
General endotracheal.
50 mL.
To left upper arm.
55 minutes.
LC-DCP 14-hole with 4 screws proximal and 3 screws distal.
The patient is a (XX)-year-old female who sustained a gunshot wound to the left forearm this evening. The patient sustained a comminuted mid shaft ulnar fracture. All risks and benefits of the procedure were discussed with the patient and informed consent was obtained.
The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in the supine position. One gram of Ancef was given in the preop area. After satisfactory general endotracheal anesthesia was administered, the tourniquet was placed on the left upper arm, which was well padded. The left upper extremity was then prepped and draped in the routine sterile fashion. The entry wound was incised sharply and the wound was irrigated copiously with normal saline and closed with 3-0 nylon. The bullet was palpable in the distal volar aspect of the left forearm subcutaneously. Esmarch was then used at this point for exsanguination and the tourniquet inflated to 150 mmHg. The bullet was removed through the distal incision. The volar border of the ulna was dissected with a periosteal elevator. The 14-hole LC-DCP, which was recontoured to fit in the volar aspect of the ulna, was advanced from the proximal incision bridging the fracture into the distal shaft. The forearm was placed in neutral position and the plate was secured provisionally with approximately one screw distal. The mini C-arm was used to confirm anatomic alignment and placement of the plate. After that, the plate was secured with a total of 4 screws proximal and 3 screws distally, bypassing the fracture site. Intraoperative x-ray was taken which showed good anatomic alignment of the fracture, as well as good placement of the plate. The patient tolerated the procedure well. The subcutaneous tissues were closed with 3-0 Vicryl and the skin with staples. Adaptic was used for the dressing along with 4 x 4s and sterile Webril. A splint was applied. The patient was taken to recovery in stable condition.
OPERATION PERFORMED: Open reduction and internal fixation of right proximal humerus.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION: The patient was brought to the OR and laid supine on the OR table. After general anesthesia was induced, the patient was placed in a semi-beach chair position in the McConnell headrest. The right upper extremity was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Standard deltopectoral approach was performed exposing the proximal humerus. The biceps tendon was identified. The fracture was noted to be at the surgical neck with the head completely dislocated posteriorly. There was also a lesser and greater tuberosity fracture fragment. The rotator interval was developed further exposing the humeral head, which was again dislocated posteriorly. With significant amount of difficulty, the humeral head was finally reduced back onto the humeral shaft using a combination of traction and Hohmann retractors. Once the fracture was reduced, the medial cortex was noted to be still intact. Although this fracture was a four-part fracture, due to the patient's history of repeat seizure episodes, decision was made to proceed with open reduction and internal fixation rather than a hemiarthroplasty. With hemiarthroplasty, the patient is at risk of dislocating again, and due to the continuity of the medial cortex, there is perhaps an adequate blood flow to the head and we made the decision to preserve the head and fix it. Therefore, once the humeral head was reduced to the shaft, Ti-Cron sutures were placed into the lesser and greater tuberosities along the tendinous portions. These were used as joysticks for reduction over the plate. Next, a 5-hole, 3.5 mm LCP proximal humerus locking plate was fashioned to the lateral aspect of the humerus. Five 3.5 mm locking screws were placed into the humeral head followed by two 3.5 m cortical screws into the shaft fragment. The greater and lesser tuberosities were then sutured over on top of the plates using the #2 Ti-Cron sutures. A 0 Vicryl suture was then used to further close the rotator interval that had been previously opened for exposure of the humeral head. Next, the wound was thoroughly irrigated with normal saline. C-arm fluoroscopy was used to confirm good position of all screws on both the AP and axillary fluoroscopic images. None of the screws penetrated the joint. All hardware was in good position and the fracture was noted to be well reduced. Next, the wound was thoroughly irrigated with normal saline. The fascia was closed with 0 Vicryl suture followed by 2-0 Vicryl inverted sutures for the subcutaneous layer and staples for the skin. Sterile dressings were applied. Once the right upper extremity was dressed, attention was turned toward the left proximal humerus. The C-arm fluoroscopy was used to confirm reduction of the left shoulder on the axillary view. This arm was then placed into the external rotation brace. The patient was then awakened from anesthesia, transferred back onto the stretcher and taken to PACU for recovery.
OPERATION PERFORMED: Open reduction and internal fixation of bilateral tibial plateau fractures.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION: The patient was brought to the operating room and laid supine on the operating room table. After general anesthesia was induced, both lower extremities were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. The external fixators were removed. Attention was first directed towards the left tibial plateau. A standard lateral procedure to the lateral tibial plateau was performed. A submeniscal arthrotomy was performed. Next, the joint was visualized through this lateral approach. The posterolateral fragments were reduced and the lateral tibial plateau was elevated, restoring the articular surface. Next, K-wires were placed to provisionally hold this reduction. C-arm fluoroscopy was used to confirm good reduction of the joint surface. Next, a 6-hole lateral plateau locking plate from the Stryker sets was selected. This locking plate was advanced down the tibial shaft. Next, screws were placed holding the plate to the bone. Four screws were placed in the distal shaft fragments and 4 locking screws in the proximal fragment. A kickstand screw was also placed in the locking mode. After all screws were placed, the x-rays were used to confirm good reduction of the fracture, as well as good placement of all hardware. Next, the wound was thoroughly irrigated with normal saline. The meniscal arthrotomy was closed with the 0 PDS suture, including the capsule. Next, the IT band was closed with 0 Vicryl suture, followed by 2-0 Vicryl sutures for the skin and staples. Attention was then directed toward the right tibial plateau. A similar procedure was performed. Then, the lateral approach to the lateral tibial plateau was performed, exposing the fracture. The articular surface on the right side was well reduced and we did not perform an arthrotomy on the right side. The incision was approximately 4 cm on the right side. A 6-hole LISS plate was advanced down the tibial shaft. Four screws were placed in the distal fragments followed by four screws in the locking mode and proximal metaphyseal fragment. Excellent fixation was obtained. The C-arm fluoroscopy was used to confirm excellent reduction of the fracture on both the AP and lateral fluoroscopic images. Next, the wound was thoroughly irrigated and closed in layers. Sterile dressings were applied. Ex-fix pins were then removed and the pin sites were irrigated. All wounds were dressed with sterile dressing and the patient was placed into a knee immobilizer. The patient was then awakened from anesthesia, transferred back onto a stretcher and taken to the PACU for recovery. The patient will be nonweightbearing for approximately three months on bilateral lower extremities. The patient will receive DVT prophylaxis during this time.

Yashi Pandey, a senior woman Cricket player from Chattisgarh, who has already become a well known figure in the sport, created yet another record recently. She has been selected in the 12 member squad of the BCCI's Green team. With this selection, Yashi becomes the first female cricketer of the state to be selected in the National Green team. Her selection was based on her extraordinary performances as an all rounder Cricket player in the past.
BCCI recently announced the names of the players for India Red, Blue and Green team for its senior women challenger's trophy. Yashi, who hails from Bilaspur Cricket Sangha, will now get a chance to play with other International women cricket players.
Speaking to STREE, Vijay Kesharvani, President Bilaspur Cricket Association said, "Yashi and her elder sister Shivi, are extremely talented players and have brought several laurels for the state. Her selection in the BCCI's Green team is certainly a proud moment for all of us."
Yashi has played three School Game Nationals Under 19 (Girls) since 2011. She also participated in the MPCA Under 23 Inter Zonal tournament and MPCA's Senior Women's one day and T20 tournaments. She was also selected for Senior Women's from CSCS.
Speaking about her achievement, Dr. Prem Kumar Pandey, father and coach of Yashi said, "Both Yashi and Shivi (sisters) have made several records together and have been widely acclaimed for their consistent good performances. In the School National Games in Kolhapur in 2013-14, the sisters made 204 runs together as opening partners against Tamilnadu. In the Ranji match against Tripura, both Yashi and Shivi together made 108 runs not out, helping the Chattisgarh team to win the match with great ease. Against Assam, Yashi made 50 runs (not out) and made a record of becoming the first cricketer from the state to have made the fastest half century."
"Both Yashi and Shivi are top order batsmen. While, Yashi is medium pace bowler, Shivi is left spinner. Yashi plays aggressively, Shivi on the other hand, is more calm and composed," adds Dr. Pandey.
Dr. Pandey, who is also the Principal in Mahamaya Excellency College in Bilaspur, however has a grievance with the UGC's policy with regards to University attendance. Both Shivi and Yashi are pursuing B Com. However, as they have to attend various Cricket camps and go on Cricket tours, their attendance in College falls short than the prescribed norm due to which they are debarred from giving examination and are now pursuing their degree from Distance Education Learning.
"This is the most common grievance of all the State and National level players. The players have to go for matches and the cams on a regular basis and hence are unable to attend Colleges. It is natural that they will fall short of attendances. UGC should give relaxation of attendance for such players. After all these players are bringing laurels for their state and the country," says Dr. Pandey.

text: The political crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo deepened on Sunday when the Constitutional Court confirmed the win of Felix Tshisekedi, rejecting claims of fraud, and runner-up Martin Fayulu promptly declared himself the country's "only legitimate president". Fayulu's supporters have alleged an extraordinary backroom deal between outgoing President Joseph Kabila to rig the vote in favour of the opposition after the ruling party's candidate did so poorly that a plan B was needed. Neither side has acknowledged the accusations. The court, however, said Fayulu offered no proof to back his assertions that he had won easily based on leaked data attributed to the electoral commission. Following the court ruling, the African Union postponed a visit by a high-level delegation to Kinshasa that had been scheduled for Monday to discuss the crisis. The bloc has previously expressed "serious concerns" over the vote and called for the results to be delayed. Several African leaders congratulated Tshisekedi after the court confirmed the win. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta took to Twitter to offer his support, while South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa in a statement urged the Congolese people to "move on to consolidate democracy and preserve peace, stability and security of the country." Congratulations President-elect Tshisekedi on your victory in the recent General Elections. Your victory is a portrayal of the confidence of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in your ideals, leadership and vision for the future. — Uhuru Kenyatta (@UKenyatta) 20 January 2019 Tanzanian President John Magufuli, in a post on Twitter, said that "I beseech you to maintain peace". The 16-nation Southern African Development Community, after wavering in recent days with support for a recount, called on all Congolese to accept the vote's outcome. 'Constitutional coup d'etat' Runner-up Fayulu urged Congolese to take to the streets to peacefully protest what he called a "constitutional coup d'etat", accusing the court of validating false results. "It's no secret ... that you have elected me president," he said. "I consider myself the only legitimate president of the Democratic Republic of Congo. I call on the Congolese people not to recognise someone who would take on that role illegitimately, nor to obey the orders coming from him," he said. Neither Congolese nor the international community should recognise Tshisekedi, nor obey him, Fayulu added. 190118140840583 Tshisekedi said early on Sunday that the Constitutional Court's decision confirming him as the winner of the presidential election was a victory for the entire country. "It is Congo that won," said Tshisekedi, speaking to his supporters after the court decision. "It is not the victory of one camp against another. I am engaged in a campaign to reconcile all Congolese. ... The Congo that we are going to form will not be a Congo of division, hatred or tribalism. It will be a reconciled Congo, a strong Congo that will be focused on development, peace and security." The largely untested Tshisekedi, son of the late, charismatic opposition leader Etienne, is set to be inaugurated on Tuesday. His supporters who had gathered outside the court cheered. "It's a shame that Mr Fayulu wants to stay isolated," Tshisekedi's spokesman, Vidiye Tshimanga, told The Associated Press. He said the two men once had been part of an opposition coalition demanding that Kabila step down. The new president will need everyone for the reconstruction of the country, Tshimanga said, as the Congolese people have "suffered a lot in recent years". Pierre Englebert, professor of international relations at Pomona College, told Al Jazeera that the court's decision was not "surprising". "The court is widely understood as being populated with judges loyal to the president," he said. 190118014312827 Government spokesman Lambert Mende quickly acknowledged the court's decision, congratulating Tshisekedi as Congo's fifth president. "When you think about it, the brilliance of the arrangement that they have is now they have the supporters of the president, of Kabila himself, and the supporters of Tshisekedi being in favour of the decision, and therefore we spread the opposition," said Englebert. Fears of unrest The country of 80 million people, rich in the minerals key to smartphones around the world, is moving closer to achieving its first peaceful, democratic transfer of power since independence in 1960. But observers have warned that the court's upholding of the official results could lead to further unrest. At least 34 people have been killed since provisional results were released on January 10, the United Nations has said. The court said Tshisekedi won with more than seven million votes, or 38 percent, and Fayulu received 34 percent. However, leaked data published by some media outlets, attributed to the electoral commission and representing 86 percent of the votes, show that Fayulu won 59 percent while Tshisekedi received 19 percent. Fayulu, a legislator and businessman who is outspoken about cleaning up Congo's sprawling corruption, is widely seen as posing more of a threat to Kabila, his allies and the vast wealth they have amassed. All of the election results, not just the presidential ones, had been widely questioned after Kabila's ruling coalition won a majority in legislative and provincial votes while its presidential candidate finished a distant third. 190117094304898 Congo's election had been meant to take place in late 2016, and many Congolese worried that Kabila, in power since 2001, was seeking a way to stay in office. Barred from serving three consecutive terms, Kabila already has hinted he might run again in 2023. After Tshisekedi was announced as the surprise winner in provisional results on January 10, some Congolese weary of turmoil appeared to decide that replacing Kabila with an opposition figure was enough, despite questions about the vote. Reflecting the yearning for stability, 33 Congolese non-governmental groups and civil society movements on Thursday called on people to comply with whatever the court rules to "preserve the peace". With that perhaps in mind, Tshisekedi's party sharply rejected the AU's attempted intervention. The continental body's stance is "the work of some mining lobbies seeking to destabilise the Democratic Republic of Congo in order to perpetuate the looting of this country," the party's secretary-general, Jean-Marc Kabund, said in a statement. Leading up to the court's ruling, hundreds of Tshisekedi's supporters were in the streets of the capital, Kinshasa, waving tree branches and banners reading "Congo for the Congolese." The 16-nation Southern African Development Community, after wavering in recent days with support for a recount, called on all Congolese to accept the vote's outcome.

bill-swift - March 22, 2016
Chrissy Teigen topless. Not her first time, but certainly perhaps her hottest time. These photos by Markus and Koala clearly are not brand spanking new as Chrissy is somewhat heavily into her pregnancy, but these do seem to be very recently shared and promoted onto the world of gentleman oglers who just happen to look at topless photos of Chrissy Teigen appearing as Saharan desert wanderers look upon a random water photo popping up out of the sand. Must have now.
Chrissy Teigen takes some level of grief for being a celebrity for no apparent reason outside of marriage. I got your reasons right here. Two of them. And they're spectacular. Not to mention she's spectacular for sharing them. How many ladies with several million social media followers are shooting nude? That's right, not many. Respect the game. And Chrissy's body. Or somebody else like me will and I'll get the cake. Not sure what that means, but I know I want it. Enjoy.

The Empress Is No Pushover
As expected, the show opened with the three women fighting for the title at TLC appearing together to sign the contract.
An interesting fact was put up about how the women have all defeated each other except for Lynch having never beaten Asuka. This led to an argument from which Lynch walked out which seemed a bit weird but we get that WWE is protecting her.
[adace-ad id="3395″]
[adace-ad id="7797″]
Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose hit the ring for whatever reason. That setup a tag match with Asuka and Charlotte on one side and Deville and Rose on the other.
The match was a decent one with the title challengers dominating most of it until they had a spat among themselves. This left Charlotte down and Deville took advantage to pick up the win.
Here is the thing. All this felt okay but not good enough. Somehow we expected more excitement, more build-up for the women's title match. It will be really pathetic if this match does not headline TLC and looking at the way this match is being built-up, it appears that the chances of that happening are slim.
On a side note, is the tension between Deville and Rose resolved now? When did that happen?
Winners: Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose.

A New Spin On The Tag Division?
We would love to imagine how WWE came up with this match. Someone thought "How to bring the tag division some relevance? Oh yeah, let's put them in singles matches!"
Don't get us wrong. There is a time and place for singles matches in the tag division. It is when you have established feuds and strong teams.
The tag division has become a joke on SmackDown. Cesaro and Sheamus barely feel like a dominating force. The Usos feel like their wings have been clipped and the New Day is just a group that performs comedy bits.
[adace-ad id="7792″]
Also, where the heck is Big Show? Are we to forget that he played a big role in the tag championship and now we should be okay with him disappearing after an ambiguous backstage segment?
This is frustrating and sad to watch especially since the tag division on RAW isn't faring any better. The match was pretty good though and Jey Uso won but in the grand scheme of things, it was pointless.
Winner: Jey Uso

The 2018-2019 school year is now 2/3 complete. I think I say this in every letter, but every time I look at the calendar I am amazed at how fast the year goes. I know I haven't written to you since before Christmas, but so much has been happening that I've been trying to keep it straight. I finally have had a little bit of time to sit and process where we are at in the school year.
When we returned from Christmas break, everything seemed to happen fast. Our girls' basketball season started off well. Both teams put in great effort and I am very proud at how they represented our school. While we did not win a trophy this year, there was a great deal of growth and I am very excited for their future.
Basketball was not the only exciting thing that happened on our campus during January. Our faculty and staff completed the writing of our self-study in preparation for our accreditation visit. The self-study was sent to the chair of the team who will visit our school. This was a giant task and I would like to thank everyone involved in writing this. Our faculty put in so much work in preparing this document that I truly believe reflects who we are at St. Christopher Catholic School. Thank you to you, our parents, as well, for your work on the surveys, the time you spend volunteering, and especially for your support while we worked, and still continue to work, together for the growth of our school. I also want to make sure that I thank Cathy Thompson, our Superintendent, for her guidance and support through this process.READ MORE

Or maybe it was the two double margaritas. But I was really glad to have the cat wake me up at four this morning. What a lot of grisly, depressing and maudlin dreams.
My friend Th came by Unraveled yesterday afternoon and suggested we go somewhere that would allow us to have a drink before we went to our Tuesday night charity knitting. So we went to Rudy's Mexican Restaurant. I'd never been there but had heard a lot about it, some good, some not so good.
If you get there during Happy Hour, and sit in the cantina, you get great prices on margaritas plus free, all-you-can-eat enchiladas and tacos. The margaritas were tasty and the food was good.
We went to Mendy's for knitting and I managed to finish a hat I had started a couple of weeks ago. And we had some lemon curd cheese cake. (I think that what it was called.) It was delicious. Maybe it was the chocolate ice cream and not the other stuff.
So. I don't have any new knitting to show today. I'm still working on the Stacked Wedges scarf and have wound the yarn for my next project. This is a down day for me, meaning I don't have anywhere that I have to go, or anything to take me away from my knitting. I realized yesterday that I have about three weeks left to finish my holiday gifts for the knitting group. I need to take an inventory and see how much I have left to do. Maybe not. I'm already stressed enough.

Delia Cooper is delighted to represent the patient voice on the BC AHSN board. Building on a background in education and many years of service representing the patient perspective in health care, research and health education, she brings unique expertise to the governance of the BC AHSN organization.
A strong supporter of collaboration, she decided to get involved with BC AHSN in 2017 to make a difference through her belief that health research is an "extremely important facet in our health care system."
Delia's unique perspective originated with the lived experience of having rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 12. "I've had a lifetime of interfacing with the health care system and health professionals," she said in a recent interview.
"Health care research provides the impetus for improvement and system change."
This long-term experience in the health system has created a belief in inspiring transformation. "Health care research provides the impetus for improvement and system change. The patient voice should be included in every aspect of the research process, from governance to funding to basic research projects."
In addition to attending board meetings as a director, Delia is very active in the Network's Planning Committee as well as in providing a patient perspective in the interview process when choosing BC AHSN's CEO.
Her experience is especially valuable to one of the Network's units, the BC SUPPORT Unit, which is also part of a national program (the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research, or SPOR) to help health care research be more relevant and meaningful to patients so that they get the best possible care.
"I expect to be able to attend more of the BC SUPPORT Unit's Patient Partner meetings in the coming year," she said optimistically. "In [the Unit's Fraser Centre], I'm part of the Patients Involved in Research (PIiR) committee; as part of this group, I've been presenting as part of a team to promote patient-oriented research to Masters and Doctoral students at [Simon Fraser University] and to interested researchers or patients in the Fraser [region]."
Delia is optimistic about the BC AHSN organization's future, based on the passion and enthusiastic energy she has recognized across the organization so far.
"This is a very exciting time for BC AHSN," she observed. "I'm impressed with the commitment and dedication of the staff, our Board Chair and our CEO. We have a wonderful Board of Directors which has recently expanded to include the health authority and quality improvement perspectives. Soon we'll be adding a second patient representative as well. I look forward to the coming year as we become a leading national and international research organization."
"I envision BC AHSN will be the lead oversight organization for all research in BC."
As for a long-term vision beyond 2019, Delia is confident that our organization will play a provincial leadership role.
"I envision BC AHSN will be the lead oversight organization for all research in BC…BC AHSN will have a solid foundation which will move into the future and lead all forms of research activities, and will be a world-class leader in how to organize and set up a successful health research support system."
The BC AHSN News profiles a member of the organization's community in each issue. Stay tuned for our January 2019 issue to see who will be featured next!

31 Jul 19 / St Andrews
Why St Andrews is the Home of Golf
Boasting the oldest course in the world, St Andrews draws golfers from around the world to experience a game in the unmitigated home of golf. The east-coast, seaside town of St Andrews is just an hour's drive from Edinburgh.
If you're a keen golfer, we've included everything you need to know for planning the perfect trip.
Known collectively as St Andrews Links, the complex consists of 7 unique courses making it the largest golf complex in Europe. The game has been played on the Links for over 600 years making it undeniably the natural home of golf.
The world-renowned Old Course is one for the bucket list for any golfer. Dating back to the 15th century the course originally consisted of 22 holes. This was later shortened to 18 holes in 1764 by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club who decided a few were too short and combined them. This new 18-hole course then become the standard for courses around the world.
The Old Course still uses a traditional ballot booking system. This is drawn 2 days ahead of play and ensures those in the area always have an opportunity to play the course, avoiding any lengthy advance booking. The trust in charge of the Links believe this upholds the community spirit of the public courses.
Designed by Keeper of the Green Old Tom Morris, the New Course was built to handle the overflow from its neighbour, officially opening in April 1895. The course has the traditional "out and back" layout with the first and eighteenth holes next to each other.
Celebrating Queen Victoria's 60-year reign, the Jubilee Course opened in 1897 and is considered to be the most challenging of the Links courses. Originally a 12-hole course for ladies and beginners, it was expanded to the full 18 holes in 1905 then redeveloped in 1946 and 1988 to championship level.
As the demand for golf grew, the Eden Course was developed by course architect Harry S Colt in 1914. The Eden Tournament was first played in 1919 on the course with this year marking it's centenary.
A 9-hole course, The Balgrove was first opened in 1972, then reconstructed in the 90's reopening in 1993 by the St Andrews Children's Golf Club. A perfect course for families and beginners, it is the only one in the Links complex which cannot be booked in advance, just turn up and play.
The final course to be added to St Andrews Links was the Strathyrum. Designed by Donald Steel and opened summer of 1993 it provides a challenging warm up to the championship courses.
When planning your trip, there are a few key things to consider.
Firstly, the time of year you plan to visit will have an impact. The courses are open all year long with high season running mid-April – October. Expect green fees to increase and courses to be much busier during this time. Also, high season is when you'll find most tournaments played so keep an eye on busy dates in case these conflict with your plans.
Depending on whether you're planning your trip around golf or add a round in last minute, equipment and shoes are available to hire. This can also come to your aid in the event of any misplaced luggage. Caddies are also available to hire for the courses - strongly recommended if you are new to the Links as no one knows the like the caddies do!
Such is the community around the golfing town, a shuttle bus is kindly provided to pick up visitors at various points in St Andrews. There is a stop just 70 yards from our front door.
If you're feeling a bit rusty or would like some pointers from the experts, book time at the St Andrews Links Golf Academy. Providing tuition for all ages and handicaps, instructors use the highest level of technology to assess your grip and game to help you reach your full potential as a golfer.
Make sure you keep up to date with the handy app available which allows you to enter ballots, check shuttle bus times and navigate the courses.
After a day on the courses, St Andrews has a variety of things to do and see in the town and surrounding area. For the keen golfers, a trip to the British Golf Museum is a must! Home to over 17,000 objects and regularly hosting free lectures on various topics of golf history, the museum tells the story of golf development through the ages.
If you're all golfed out, taking in the stunning coastal scenery should be on your agenda. West Sands beach will be recognisable to fans of the movie Chariots of Fire, the opening sequence of which was filmed here. A mere 15 minute walk from the town centre, this 2 mile stretch of beach and sand dunes is popular with visitors and locals for walks in the relaxing sea air. Or take a walk to the opposing East Sands beach which welcomes the annual May Day dip. This tradition is upheld by students of the university who brave the chilly waters at dawn every year on May 1st to guarantee good luck in their final exams.
The university itself is steeped in history, founded in 1413 it is the third-oldest in the English-speaking world behind Oxford and Cambridge. Currently ranked as the 3rd best university in the UK, At the heart of the university is St Salvator's Chapel which dates to 1450 and a rare example of Late Gothic architecture. St Salvator's is a stunning building to visit
Located towards the east of the town you'll find the ruins of Scotland's largest church in mediaeval Scotland, St Andrews Cathedral which took over 150 years to build, finally completed in 1358. Still standing in the ruins is the 100ft tall St Rule's Tower. Visitors can climb a narrow staircase to the top of the historic tower for spectacular views across the surrounding landscapes.
No trip to St Andrews is complete without a visit to the famous Jannettas Gelataria. The homemade gelato has been served in St Andrews by the same family for over 100 years. The perfect way to round of any trip.
At Hotel Du Vin St Andrews you'll find 36 gleefully furnished and spacious bedrooms and suites after a day on the golf course or taking in the breath-taking scenery and spectacular golden beaches. all complete with wonderful Egyptian cotton and the usual HDV amenities our guests are used to.
We also have wonderful options for dining in our Bistro, from our fantastic menu including lobster and Limousin steaks, and a stylish bar offering an extensive selection of wines and cocktails.

SpyFu is one of the more feature rich tools, but has the Least attractive interface out there. SpyFu offers SEO and PPC spy tool options . Free Keyword Finder Tools

Keyword User and Search Experience
The SpyFu dashboard is smartly laid out with a navigation bar across the top with tabs for SEO Research, PPC Research, Keyword Research, Backlinks, the List Builder, Tracking, and Reports. There's a lot SpyFu can do throughout the spectrum of SEO tooling, but with this particular review we're focusing on its ad hoc keyword research capabilities. When a company is seeking to identifying the best possible search engine results pages (SERP) to aim having an optimization plan, keyword-driven analysis is your legwork to get pages to rank higher. Keyword recommendations and direction capacities are built in during SpyFu, however I began from the Keyword Research tab.
When I used the same set of five Key words to see how outcomes differed between each of my competitors. Were pcmag marketing, online shopping, IT consultant, and small business bookkeeping. I chose this combination to simulate real world terms that companies might search for (such as publishers such as PCMag) and to discover associated search results and vulnerable competitor websites.
I found that after conducting searches on my five evaluation terms SpyFu produces and structures its keyword results and metrics somewhat differently than Moz Pro, KWFinder, or Ahrefs$82.00 in Ahrefs. As opposed to populating a table of associated keywords with Page Authority (PA) and Domain Authority (DA) metrics together with stats on cost per click (CPC) and keyword difficulty, SpyFu draws a far more obvious correlation with how much money a key word could be worth. After hunting"digital advertising," for instance, another navigation bar appeared across the top of their results page further breaking down the search results. You can then drill down to keyword overview, related keywords, advertiser history, ranking history, backlinks, keyword group, and SERP analysis. That's just for one keyword question, revealing SpyFu does arguably the most granular research into key word data of the tools I tested.
Atop the primary results, SpyFu gave me not CPC for the Keyword, but a daily and monthly cost breakdown as well as how many unique advertisers had emerged on the key word in the past year. I received exactly the exact same degree of price breakdown once I clicked on the Associated Keyword, which also allowed me to narrow results employing a left-hand filter menu to a specific price every day, daily search volume, difficulty rating, and more.
At the bottom of the key word results was that the SERP analysis. This broke down each URL in the search results page, though KWFinder and Moz Guru both offer a more detailed breakdown in this regard. SpyFu focuses. Results like the Advertiser History graph, a lengthy list and complicated diagram of the ads appearing on that search page over time, was a bit too from the weeds for me as a newcomer SEO tool user. But for digital entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, SpyFu can be a gold mine. Free Keyword Finder Tools
SpyFu Kombat
With SpyFu Kombat you can look at overlapping and site keywords To get up to 3 websites. For the PPC version you may also find a chart which goes back over a span of a couple years demonstrating the general amount of keywords being bid on by all 3 websites. You can also rollover the graph to find keywords specific to only two of those websites if you are feeling the 3rd site may not be doing as good a job (or vice versa) as two of the other sites. It will also show you the PPC budgets of those sites as well as the amount of organic keywords ranking in the top 50 results for said keyword.
When you click an area of the circle graph it will show you the Keywords in whatever bucket you click. You can view and download those keywords for your use. As you can see I am on the ads tab but the choices are comparable when you click on the natural tab (on the upper box, the natural one on the underside shows you complete organic key words ).
Switching between the natural tab along with the ppc tab (as well as the Total # of organic search phrases + PPC ad budget must also give you an notion of which of the bigger sites are more to the PPC or SEO side of things which can be a good barometer to look in if you chance to be focusing on one area over the other.

Keyword Management and Reviews
Keyword direction is baked in to SpyFu throughout the platform. Within each of its three major research tabs–SEO, PPC, and Keyword–you will find choices in the drop-down menus for SEO and PPC-specific keywords and phrases, and Keyword Groups. The Keyword Groups features in each tab are rather similar, populating a table using minimal search volume, CPC, problem rating, and monthly cost. All these are SpyFu's four main metrics where key word research is concerned. On the left of the desk are either the keyword you've researched and grouped yourself, or top keyword group tips from SpyFu. On the top right of the table you can then add chosen keywords to lists, or export your chosen keyword as an Microsoft Excel file, CSV, or PDF. This basic keyword grouping functionality is much like SEMrush$99.95 at SEMrush and executed better in Moz Professional and KWFinder.
Where SpyFu's key word management abilities really stand Out are in its List Builder and Tracking tabs. Additionally, this is where SpyFu creates its profound link between SEO and customer relationship management (CRM). In the List Builder tab, there is a Best Lists segment with targeted lists of domains and keywords like"Domains That Spend the maximum On AdWords," keywords with the highest CPC. There is also a list of the most expensive keywords, which you can then filter by state, industry, or a particular web-based technology: Ad buying platform, affiliate marketing, email advertising, and online shopping cart are a few of the options.
Next to Leading Lists, there's a dedicated Business Leads tab. This essentially acts the same way as a search: You enter a location, keywords and industries, and refine outcomes using filters like AdWords budget and SEO clicks. The search returns a list of leads with this website's monthly advertising budget and available contact information that may be exported into your CRM or lead management system. I'd like to see SpyFu proceed a step further with this and integrate its own SEO lead lists directly using a stage like Salesforce$75.00 at salesforce.com, but this instrument is currently ahead of the curve. SEMrush has a lead generation tool, but that is the closest any optimization product I tested comes to exactly what SpyFu offers.
But, SpyFu recently incorporated AdWords Templates as Portion of a Google AdWords campaign. The templates include prewritten advertisements for keyword groups . The templates can be downloaded by users from the SpyFu site and then upload into an AdWords account.
The system also includes SEO campaign direction With its SpyFu Project Manager tool. SpyFu designed this as a project management(PM) feature within the SEO platform for tackling integrated key word study and rank tracking within a campaign. My SpyFu is only available in paid plans (not the free trial), but it allows you to set up multiple jobs tracking grouped keywords plotted against SEO position, traffic value, ROI, and a number of other metrics. All you need to do is open the My SpyFu menu and then include a new job. It's the only and greatest case in this roundup of built-in, SEO-focused PM.
There's also Keywords you've identified and start monitoring that reports back with weekly domain rankings and keyword ranking changes. I was able to prepare custom SEO reports in a few simple measures: Enter a domain name and choose if to run a document on SpyFu's suggested custom keywords or domain key words. I entered my five custom key words in a field, picked up to five competitors' URLs, then was given the choice to run either a report or a recurring report.
This Type of analysis is another area where SpyFu stands out, since it also has a tool called"Kombat" that is offered in the SEO and PPC Research tabs. In the domain of PCMag, I typed in Kombat along with the instrument quickly built an interactive information visualization that revealed where the top keywords of PCMag overlapped with our opponents. There's also what SpyFu calls a"key word universe," listing CPC, CTR, monthly price, and monthly clicks to get core keywords and recommended keywords. This research breakdown is just another feature that helps unearth ways for you to acquire an SEO edge. Free Keyword Finder Tools
Together with the SEO performance of its main product, SpyFu has introduced a study tool called Nacho Analytics, which offers access to different sites' web analytics. Through this platform, you can see time-of-day visitors, segments, and behavior.
Keyword Advertisement History
You will be shown by keyword Advertisement History, through color coded bars, how often the Keyword appeared in a domain's PPC campaign along with any changes in the ad copy (all of which can be exported to excel). It shows a year's worth of data and extends back to 2006 via the Bonus History Button.
So it is fairly straightforward, which is what I like about SpyFu Tools. No over-reliance on"in-house metrics" it's only"here's the ad history of this keyword", plain and simple. Normally, if you find a keyword being advertised on by a PPC advertiser consistent then you can look to employ that advertisement copy technique to a niche market of the keyword. If I had been advertising for"hotels in Oklahoma" I might listen to what ad copy was successful, over time, for that main/core key word"resorts".
Domain Advertisement History
Except it shows the domain Ad History is similar to Keyword Ad History Key word history of a domain.
This tool is useful in Taking a Look Your competitors (or larger players in your market ) and which ones they attempted and abandoned (which may be ones for you to avoid out of the gate). All this presumes the domain you're researching is capable PPC advertiser.
Keyword Smart Search
The Keyword Smart Search tool in SpyFu utilizes semantic word relationships, Publicly accessible keyword information, and PPC campaign data to come back a list of keywords related to the keyword(s) (up to 10) you enter. You could also filter look volume, from CPC as you can see, and you might also exclude key words.
For me, I prefer to use the PPC keywords and the Organic keywords found In SpyFu Classic or SpyFu Kombat. I love to use different tools for pure keyword research (Google tools, Microsoft Ad Center Intelligence, and Wordtracker). Primarily, I feel SpyFu is at its best when used as a competitive search tool versus a research tool. Free Keyword Finder Tools
Pricing and Strategies
As I said, SpyFu's Fundamental plan starts at $33 each Month when billed yearly (or $39 per month ). Though, unlike other tools within this SEO tool inspection roundup, such as Moz Pro and KWFinder$12.00 in KWFinder, SpyFu doesn't cost by search results. All plans have an unlimited number of domain name, key word, keyword collection, backlink, and comparison search results combined with data export. The functionality you get with SpyFu for the cost is an important element in why we gave it an Editors' Choice, along with the search volumes make the tool much more attractive for study that is ad hoc.
That's not to say SpyFu doesn't cap anything. The Fundamental Program provides you a capacity of 250 sales leads and domain name contacts, along with 5,000 weekly tracked keyword rankings, along with 10 domain reports and 10 pay-per-click (PPC) reports through SpyFu's AdWords Advisor tool. The $78-per-month Professional program (also $58 a month when billed yearly ) lumps leads and contacts to 500 and per week tracked keyword positions to 15,000, together with custom-branded reports and accessibility to SpyFu's application programming interface (API).
Finally, SpyFu has included a $199 per month Team program (billed annually, or $299 month-to-month) using 2,000 sales leads and domain contacts, 40,000 weekly monitored keyword positions, and five user logins. SpyFu also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. The company has actually slashed on its pricing since our original review, making it attractive to SMBs.
I find that their tools helpful for search. I don't use Their Keyword Smart Search which They provide (in a straightforward fashion) at the price points that they give is quite A combination that is nice. SpyFu makes its way into my arsenal on just about Each project. Free Keyword Finder Tools
