Electronic music fans in Saskatoon have a new home.
Vangelis Tavern launched Synaptic Mondays on Jan. 14. The open mic event is the city's only weekly showcase of electronic music.
Launched by Vangelis' event booker Rich Taylor and musician Jesse Selkirk, who performs as a solo artist under the pseudonym Sleepwreck and in the band The Depth, Synaptic is a venue for electronic enthusiasts to play, network and enjoy local electronica.
"We see Synaptic as a lot of different things," Selkirk wrote in an email to the Sheaf. "It's a great way for people who are new to performing and new to the scene to get their feet wet on stage and meet other folks who are making similar music.
It's a chance for more experienced artists to test out new material on a decent-sized [sound system] and an opportunity for them to provide mentorship to artists with less experience."
Selkirk is also a music instructor at Saskatoon's Academy of Music where he teaches guitar, bass and voice. Mentorship at Synaptic is important to him.
He describes the weekly event as "an artistic melting pot," saying he hopes "to see some new and interesting collaborations coming out of it." Selkirk added that new collaborations are a "big contributing factor to the health of a scene."
Synaptic joins a slate of local talent showcases along Broadway. Lydia's hosts open mic on Tuesdays while the Fez's open mic lands on Wednesdays. These nights aren't as specialized as Vangelis' Synaptic Mondays — they cater primarily to bands and acoustic musicians.
"One thing that's always been really exciting to me about live electronic music is that no two people do it the same way," Selkirk wrote. "We've had MCs freestyling over originally produced hip-hop beats, we've had improvised downtempo incorporating looped voice and guitar, we've had… rocktronica with live vocals, and I expect the list to keep growing and diversifying as time goes on."
Vangelis has already lined up artists for Synaptic Mondays. So far local acts Clive Sinclair and Danny Hanson have performed and, on Feb. 18, Synaptic will feature Saskatoon artist Brennan Hart, known by stage name Knar.
"He's been making glitchy IDM [intelligent dance music] since the mid-late 90s and his set-up is always changing," Selkirk said. "The last time I saw him he played an entire set just on a couple of vintage hardware pieces."
Synaptic Mondays begin at 10 p.m. at Vangelis. New artists can sign up on the event's Facebook page or through Selkirk at email@example.com.

Targeted Traffic Is Right For Generating Product Sales - 0 views
started by Stewart Macdonald on 27 Mar 12
#1 Stewart Macdonald on 27 Mar 12Maybe one of the most challenging aspects of teaching others about business on the net is rank beginners do not know anything at all about it. You can think of that in terms of background information that has been learned elsewhere about website advertising or through experience.
You or anybody else can get in trouble if you try to use that in your marketing without fully knowing what to expect or do.
That is often the difference with success, some people do bother to learn more about something, and that enables them to be more effective with their business. That is one aspect of internet business that we love; there is always something more that can be learned. If you are about to get started with your marketing, then look hard at what you have done and need to do and be sure you have all you need.
If the objective of your web site is to make product sales, then you will need to attract visitors that are interested in purchasing what you are selling. You ought to keep in mind that getting lots of traffic isn't going to make any bit of difference if these folks are not interested in what you are selling. To make product sales from your web site, the people who come there have to be looking for your product. Targeted visitors is the only kind of traffic that you need to be looking to get.
The first thing you are going to find is that getting this traffic isn't as difficult as people think after you know exactly what you are doing. One of the keys of getting this targeted visitors is finding out just what men and women are actually searching for. This is one of the primary reasons it's so important to do market research before you start any kind of marketing campaign. There's no point to placing your ads on sites that are not related to what you are selling. You need to find sites which are related to what you're trying to promote, in order to get targeted visitors who may become buyers.
A lot of people have ended up wasting a lot of cash on pay per click advertisements mainly because there ad generated thousands of clicks from web sites that had nothing to do with the product or service they were advertising. Producing sales when using pay per click marketing is even more important than with other kinds of advertising and marketing, so you want people who click on your ad to be interested in your product. After you change your advertisement to web sites that are more targeted, you could get less traffic, but more buyers. You need to only be concerned for the amount of buyers you're getting, as opposed to just the number of visitors. You don't want to advertise that you are giving something away for free, when your product or service is for sale. This kind of marketing and advertising will make folks believe that you are dishonest, as well as if they have interest in your product they are going to probably not purchase it because of this.
The internet is certainly a different kind of place to market, advertise and generally do business. What is also interesting and curious is that one change with a large business can set off a cascading effect with other related businesses. If you are smart about how you go about your business, then you will understand the implications in terms of diversifying. This article touches on penny stocks for your consideration, but remember you should look at that as just one facet of what you do. All of this is just part of evaluating possibly new strategies or ideas from the standpoint of diligence. But still, even with that said you should not be afraid to try something new, either. There are a couple of things you ought to search for before marketing on a site and that's to make certain that they have a good amount of traffic and that their internet site is related to your product. Individuals search for products using distinct terms, so try different ads that concentrate on different terms and by doing this you'll get more targeted visitors, but you have to test which ones work best. It is in addition very important to track the results of your advertising and marketing of course, if an ad isn't producing results you may possibly have to do away with it or make changes in it. Often you will come up with better ads while you are thinking like a customer, as opposed to a business owner. More often than not you are going to end up getting better results by utilizing this type of thinking.
As soon as your ads become outdated they won't reach your targeted audience so keep your ads up to date, and make sure your customers are searching for what you're selling.
Rest assured, you have just received an introduction about these techniques. All right, you have just read about these three approaches used with glamour photography, but get ready because there is so much that was left out. Now what you want to do, or should do, after reading this is go out and find out more.
Sure, there is a learning curve that you have to tackle, but do not lose momentum out of fear that you do not know enough to get started.
Working on your business means making sites, creating content, starting marketing and advertising campaigns but not spending all your time learning. When you simply focus each day on getting something done, you will be shocked and amazed at how fast your efforts multiply.

feast: The Fable of the Hedge Apple and the Recluse Spider
Charles Whitaker
Given 30-Sep-07; 43 minutes
Description: (hide)
Have you ever seen a hedge apple? They are about the size of a regular apple, but they are extremely fibrous inside, and totally inedible. And, do not mow over them because they will gum up your mowers real quick. Worse yet, they will not burn either. They just sit there in the burn pile, defiantly staring at you from the fire. After the burning, there they are, a little bit charred, but intact.
They seem totally worthless. But, as the story goes, if you put them in your closet, they will keep brown recluse spiders from taking up residence in your clothes. So maybe, there is some good purpose for them.
One exterminator told John Reid that he actually saw a recluse spider build her nest comfortably atop the hedge apple placed in a closet designated to keep her away. So, is the hedge apple a good defense against recluse spiders? Is it fact or is it fable? What can you believe?
Life is filled with conflicting stories about hedge apples and arachnids, com-trails, weather patterns, and the right calendar to determine God's holy days. Every day individuals are faced with the daunting task of sifting through gigantic gobs of often conflicting information in an effort to make quality judgments about a multitude of issues, big and small.
For example, we need to decide what to do about the guy next door (I will talk about him a little bit later), whether it is consistent with God's law to eat a certain item, or to wear a certain article of clothing. Or, given our particular circumstances, if it is wise to move out of the cities, or to change jobs and retrain, or to engender another child, or just sit tight? Young people, those most lacking in experience, are faced with some key decisions that will affect their entire lives, such as what kind of work to go into, or whom to marry?
These judgments—these decisions—that we make determine how we live, where we live, and indeed, the quality of our lives. Judgments are part and parcel with governance.If we govern a family, a home, or a business, and indeed, if we govern ourselves, we must make judgments; right or wrong, good or bad, we make judgments. Therefore, it behooves us to make as high-quality judgments and decisions as possible.
Later on, as leaders in the family of God, we will be charged with teaching others how to make good choices and good decisions. It is important that we know how to do that ourselves.
Today, I want to talk about making sound, sensible decisions. What does God's Word say about decision-making? What steps ensure that our judgments are sagacious decisions? Stated this way, the subject is vast. I bet there are at least two people in this room, maybe three, who could deliver a series of twenty sermons on this particular topic. I will not do that. I will narrow it down and try to give you a few thoughts to ponder.
Before we go any further, I need to distinguish between judging and making judgments. There is an importance difference. The best approach may be through the use of a simple—though maybe overblown—illustration.
As parents with children, we may know of someone who is a predator. Maybe we know that the individual has difficulties in this area because of a past experience, or perhaps they have a previous conviction. Maybe we just suspect it, but we do not know it for sure. And we may be right. Maybe the individual is a brother, sister, or uncle. Maybe the individual is a neighbor, a boss, or even a teacher. I am not being specific on purpose. However, we will call this person, "The Guy Next Door."
What do we do with the Guy-Next-Door? Whether right or wrong, no matter how strong or weak the evidence may be, we do not have the prerogative to judge the individual. We all know what Christ taught in Matthew 7:1, "Judge not, that you be not judged." We are not called to judge these people and their standing with God. He will do that. God will work powerfully with the individual, maybe bringing him or her unto salvation and into His Kingdom in His time. It is not within our domain to condemn the individual.
But, we need to add some sauce to the soup. You see, this particular individual has an opportunity to be around your children in this present evil world. Maybe the opportunity is occasioned by your work or business, maybe by the fact that the individual is a somewhat close family member, or maybe a teacher.
While not being empowered by God to judge, we certainly have the right, and indeed the responsibility, to make a judgment call based on the facts as we see them. WE have the duty to make decisions and to implement them, as long as they are consonant with God's law. It is certainly wise that we take protective, if not overtly preemptive action.
We may choose to move away from the individual if he is a neighbor, or to change jobs if he is a boss, or to change schools if he is a teacher. Minimally, we deem it proper to take sound, but sure, steps to ensure that our youngsters are never alone with him or her, and that there are always responsible and trustworthy adults around when this person is in the presence of our children. This kind of judgment is absolutely proper, given the situation and given the times. It is better to be safe that sorry. This is not judging the individual. It is making a judgment. There is a difference.
Hopefully, of course, we are making our decisions based on a sound reading of the situation and not on surmise, imagination, or rumor. We should not go on witch-hunts.
How can we ensure that our decisions and judgments are sound? God has given us a number of guidelines to making sound decisions. For lack of time, I cannot elaborate on His law that we should be impartial, or that we do not judge by appearances, as important as these principles are to my point. But rather, I will focus on two other principles from God's Word on the subject of making sound decisions.
The first principle I want to talk about is "Get the Facts." We can see a number of examples of people who failed to get the facts. In John 7, Christ is in the Temple. We will start in verse 27 where some of Christ's critics assert:
John 7:27 However, we know where this Man is from, but when the Christ come, no one knows where He is from.
They had urban legends in those days too. One of them was that people would not know from where the Messiah would come. He would just appear. This is not supported in any way in the Scriptures. Yet, some made their decision rejecting Christ based on nothing more substantial than a myth. In verse 40, others had a different problem with the facts:
John 7:40-42 Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet." Others said, "This is the Christ," but some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
These people understood Isaiah correctly. Christ would come out of Bethlehem, and indeed He did. But, Isaiah also asserted that the gospel would start from "Galilee of the Gentiles" (found in Isaiah 9:1). These people did not have all the facts. They had not put everything together correctly. In verse 52, some Pharisees are rebuking Nicodemus:
John 7:52 Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.
Either by design or ignorance, the Pharisees here express pure geographic snobbery, or chauvinism. We would call it "better-than-thou-ism." They looked down on Galilean Jews as "country bumpkins," outside the Jerusalem power-structure, and by that token, outside mainstream Judaism. They rejected Christ due to geographic prejudice. And, their comments about no prophet coming from Galilee are simply inaccurate. Jonah and Hosea came from Galilee, and perhaps a few others.
These people, their attitudes, and their approach toward Christ, were dead wrong. But, Nicodemus had it right in verse 51, where he rhetorically asks,
John 7:51 Does our law judge any man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?
God's law does indeed require due process. Notice in Deuteronomy 13 that Moses, in context, is speaking about people who stand accused of enticing Israel into idolatrous practices, a serious accusation indeed. God says, through Moses:
Deuteronomy 13:14-15a Then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination was committed among you, you shall surely strike the inhabitants of the city with the edge of the sword
Notice how explicit Moses is: "Inquire, search out, and ask diligently." God does not to expect us to make judgments capriciously or whimsically. This teaching, like all of God's instructions, is established by a second witness—using almost the exact same words, in Deuteronomy 17:4, 6.
As a New Testament reference you may want to notice Acts 17:11 where Luke praises the Bereans calling them, "more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so." These people did not just sit in services and leave and then forget what they heard. They diligently "proved all things," to use Paul's expression in I Thessalonians 5:21. They searched. They sought the facts. They got the facts. Such is essential if we are to make sound decisions. We need to get the facts.
The second principle in making sound decisions is "The Standard of Evidence" that God has instituted. I suggest to you that this principle is too often overlooked by many in God's church.
Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.
God appears to give mankind a certain degree of latitude in the matter of decision-making. In matters we deem to be of special importance or weight, we may elect to require three witnesses. Otherwise, there must be two. One is insufficient to establish any matter. This is important. Mankind, already limited in his ability to perceive the truth of any matter and all too often given to blinding prejudice, is incapable of reliably making a proper decision based upon the words of a single witness.
If only one witness attests to a matter, the matter is not established. By the word "established," I mean that the matter is not proven, confirmed, or verified. The matter remains in the realm of a possibility, perhaps even a probability, but it is not established.
The thorny question remains, "Are we justified in taking action—for example, an action about the guy next door—when a matter is not established?" We will get there in a few moments.
We see an important New Testament application of this standard of evidence in John 8. We will pick up Christ's comments in verse 16.
John 8:16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. I am one who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.
Those are remarkable words. They would make an interesting Bible study. How does God the Father bear witness of Christ? He does in a number of ways. Even though He was perfect and sinless, Christ did not bear witness of the gospel by Himself. The good news was attested to by two—that is, by Christ and the Father. In His day, and if you understand what I am saying, even to this day, the two witnesses of the truth that eluded Pilate are Christ and the Father. Of course, I am not saying that the Father and Christ are the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11. That clearly is not the case. I am saying that the witnesses of the truth we have learned are God Himself and Jesus Christ.
Should we ever get the idea that God has lowered His standard of evidence, there is the witness of Paul. Concerning the elders, Paul writes:
I Timothy 5:19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses.
Notice that he uses the same terminology we saw in Deuteronomy, "two or three witnesses." God has not changed. He has not lowered His standard of evidence. It is the same standard that He instructed Moses to give to the people. The "two or three witnesses" rule is very much alive and well to this day.
It is for this reason that you should absolutely never accept as established, or proven, any purported doctrine that appears to be supported by just one scripture. God does not do that to us. That is not His pattern. He always supports His truth with a number of scriptures.
Did you ever hear a true minister of God cite only one verse in support of a doctrine? Usually you hear two or three—or 23! A person once wrote John Reid that he could prove that we that do not have to keep the Sabbath from one scripture. Well, of course he cannot do that. This individual's standard of evidence was far lower than God's standard of evidence. We will see in a few minutes what the implications of those low standards are and where they can lead.
I will not elaborate, but there is another New Testament witness to the "two or three witness" rule in Hebrews 10:28. And, of course, the final warning message which will go out will not be preached by one, but by two witnesses.
Now, what do old folk in Missouri do during the dog days of summer—those long, hot, sultry afternoons of summertime? Well, we amble over to our neighbor's front porch, or he roams over to ours, and we chew the fat for awhile. So, one afternoon, I found myself on my front porch talking to Joe, a retired trainman who lives across the street. A few minutes later we were joined by another Missouri "old boy," as they are pleased to call themselves, who happens to be a deputy sheriff from the town of Bolivar. So, we chewed the fat. (Actually, Joe chews tobacco.)
The rambling conversation eventually turned to children who suffered from asthma. Do not ask me how it got there, but it did. The sheriff asserted, "Get a short-haired Chihuahua. That will cure it." The sheriff related how his son, many years ago, was a severe asthmatic. The sheriff, at that time, took his neighbor's advice and imported into his house a shorthaired Chihuahua. The boy's asthma disappeared quickly and never returned. (He is an adult now. I have never met him.)
Now, it just so happens that the other fellow, Joe, has a grandchild, about nine years old, who also suffered from asthma. Joe confirmed the sheriff's apparently wild idea, because Joe's grandson, who also has been raised with a shorthaired Chihuahua, is now asthma-free. Yet, only a month before they acquired the dog, Joe's family was paying more than $100 a month for medication for the boy. I know the boy. I see him every few days, and he appears normal and healthy.
Okay, what do we do with this one? Joe and the sheriff are not detractors of the medical system. They go to doctors all the time. Neither of them (notice, there are two of them) have an ax to grind; they are not out to "get" the medical profession. But, neither are they doctors; they could not explain how a shorthaired Chihuahua could remove asthma. Yet they both vouched for the treatment's effectiveness, based on personal experiences in their respective families.
So, is this matter established because of two witnesses? Well, probably not. We need some more facts, some credible knowledge as to why this happens, if it does happen at all.
The question remains, what would you do if you found yourself in a circumstance where you were raising an asthmatic child? Well, in this audience, it goes without saying that any of us would contact a minister of God before we took any action. We would call for the elders to anoint the child, as the apostle James instructs in James 5:14 and 15. We know that, as the apostle writes, "the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up," of course, in His time.
Having done that, we would also set about making a number of decisions to adjust the child's diet and lifestyle to deal with the illness. Would one step, perhaps, be the acquisition of a shorthaired Chihuahua, based upon the comments of these two witnesses? After all, it could not hurt, right? Every boy needs a dog! That is something I will let you ponder. Remember, there are two witnesses here, but do we have all the facts?
Consider this next example. A few years ago, someone in the congregation of the Church of the Great God ran across a flyer in a health food store that made a startling allegation: sugar was refined using animal fat. Some of you may remember the hubbub this caused. While most of us shun large amounts of refined sugar, we do so for general health reasons, not because it has been rendered unclean in the refining process.
At the time of this so-called revelation, some people jumped to all sorts of conclusions, some even before they actually read the flyer. Some people refused to attend the Feast, for example, for fear that they would come into contact with some refined sugar somewhere along the eight days.
Well, one of the elders did some research on this matter, actually talking to a senior chemist in the employ of a major sugar company. It turns out that animal fat was, in fact, used in the refining of sugar—in Europe more than a century ago. That process was quite expensive and had been abandoned for more than a hundred years. If I recall, this particular chemist doubted that the process had ever been used in the United States. Further research confirmed this individual's claim.
What we have here is a case where a person, maybe a very well-intentioned person, was thoroughly misinformed. He wrote a flyer and passed around faulty information based on old data. He apparently did not make the effort to confirm how current his claims were. In this case, what he said was true one hundred years ago, but it is not true today. Therefore, it is irrelevant to us today.
The point that I want to make is this: until his claims were debunked, there were any number of people in God's church who were going to change their entire eating habits, even forego attending the Feast of Tabernacles, because of this one witness, and one, it turned out, that was highly impeachable. These peoples' standard of evidence was different from God's standard of evidence.
Rather than changing their eating habits based on the evidence presented by two or three credible and independent witness, they were willing to make major changes based upon only one witness. The second or third witnesses were never found, if they even looked for them. The original paper was never confirmed, and the matter stands today as not established. Refined sugar may be bad for us, especially when consumed in quantity. But it is not unclean.
In Romans 10, Paul is speaking about Israel, but it can be an application to the church, the Israel of God.
Romans 10:2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
That is bad enough. In this day and age, knowledge is all around us. Some people who bought into this sugar idea were zealous for God, but they did not ensure that they had all the facts, or that they were basing their ideas on current processing. Paul goes on, though, to say that people who do such things display something far more deadly—far more dangerous—than simple ignorance.
Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
That is heavy! In saying this, Paul hits the ball all the way into another ballpark. You see, the issue is not that these people were merely lazy, or careless, or even negligent, in the handling of knowledge. They were that. But also more seriously, these people wanted to prove themselves more righteous than God. They established their own standard of evidence. They did not submit to the righteousness of God, as it is stated in Deuteronomy 15, which states that His standard of evidence demands more than one witness. Some of these people, who did not repent, are not with us today.
"But, it might be true!" We need to address this comeback, this rejoinder. Given the importance to God that we avoid unclean meats, some would justify this level of extreme action, this refusal to eat any sugar at all, and even to not to go to the Feast, based on the thought that the ideas espoused in this flyer may be true.
But, that is just the point. Almost anything may be true, but not everything is true. For instance, consider this.
The Bolivians of South America store their pepper which they harvest in crab shells taken from their coastal waters. These shells add flavor to the pepper before it is shipped to the United States.
Is this statement true? Should we all stop eating Bolivian pepper just because this statement may be true? Now any eighth grader who has studied South America knows that Bolivia has no costal waters, being landlocked. Therefore, it does not harvest crab off its coasts. Further, the eighth grader probably knows that Bolivia exports tin and other metals to the United States, not pepper.
The story is totally bogus. It "might" be true, but it is not. I need to repeat, as a second witness, that the Bolivia story is an example only and is not true. It has no basis in fact. It is a total fabrication I designed only for the purposes of illustration. To refuse to purchase or consume pepper because my little story might be true is about as silly as to refuse to go into the parking lot this afternoon because there might be a lion there.
God has determined the standard of evidence: two or three credible witnesses. But, I do not think you will ever find any honest and credible witnesses who will back up my Bolivia story. We cannot live our lives on mights or maybes. To do so is to become paranoid.
This point is highly pertinent where doctrine, prophecy, and Christian living principles are concerned, such as in matters involving the calendar, the practice of the Sabbath, unclean meats, and the like.
When browsing a bookstore or the Internet, and someone runs across some new doctrine or new "information" about Christian living, I strongly urge that person to contact an elder before running to the photocopying machine or before hitting that "FORWARD" button. To sow division and discord over unconfirmed information that may, in fact, be misinformation is not at all pleasing to God. He may hold us responsible, or at least complicit, in promulgating lies. That is very serious.
I ran across an interesting news story this past winter—yes, you will guess that it came over the Internet, the source of so many lies, rumors, and myths. This particular story claimed that some high-ranking American military generals had tried to kidnap Dick Cheney, the Vice President, when his airplane touched down in Australia earlier this year. The story reported that two or three people had been killed in the shuffle, but that the Vice President's secret service staff had done their job effectively and efficiently, and fended off the kidnapping. Apparently, these American generals had planned to use Mr. Cheney as a ransom so as to force Mr. Bush not to attack Iran. The reporter believed that an American attack of Iran was imminent at that time.
The author quoted a snippet of an Associated Press news release which said that the Vice President's jet had indeed landed briefly in Sidney for refueling—but that is all. From there, the author, using inference and innuendo, skillfully and carefully crafted the story about the attempted kidnapping. The names of the generals were not given. In fact, I believe no names were given at all, except that of the Vice President.
In other words, the story was extremely general, with no confirmatory information whatsoever. There were no quotations from police officials, the State Department, or the Department of Defense—or anywhere at all.
Should we, in the absence of a sufficient number of witnesses, believe this story? Yes, it might be true. But should we, given the credibility test God sets in Deuteronomy 15, believe it? In the ensuing months, as far as I know, it has never been corroborated. I never heard another word about it.
Are we so knowledgeable, so wise, that we can determine the truth of a matter based on a lower standard of evidence than what God has established in Deuteronomy 15? Is this matter "established" based on this one report? Is this the sort of thing we should pass around over the Internet? That "FORWARD" button is so convenient and easy to click. Does God look at a decision to forward such an unsubstantiated story as part and parcel to passing around a lie, perpetrating the lie? Are we, in deciding to forward it, complicit in the author's irresponsibility and prevarication? Is forwarding such a report all that different from rumor-mongering? Is it edifying, or does is foster disunity and confusion?
I leave these questions for you to ponder. They are crucial questions of evidence. Indeed, they are questions touching on God's righteousness, since He has determined the standard of evidence by which we are to live. Do we dare to change that standard?
Let me conclude with a few of questions. Do too many of God's people fall for every story that comes around, kind of in a gullible way? Do too many pass around documents and ideas that should be discussed with a minister first? Do too many make decisions based on unconfirmed evidence? I believe the answer is yes, yes, and yes.
Now, we are not all scholars. We cannot all delve into every email that comes our way, or every rumor we hear, to confirm its veracity. But, each of us can appoint ourselves as a committee of one to gather the facts before making a decision. We can seek to talk to an elder before we hit that "FORWARD" button or the speed dial button of our telephone. We can consider nothing to be established until it has been adequately attested by at least two witnesses. We can ensure that we do not make any judgments until we have all the facts and until the matter stands confirmed under God's standard of evidence.
Such a committee of one is well on its way to making wise decisions.

Is Free Sampling a Digital Opportunity?
PINCHme and Sumpto are both digital platforms that deliver free samples, although one is looking for feedback and trial while the other is about influence.
PINCHme, which is set to launch in the U.S. on Nov. 12, is a free subscription service that allows consumers to sample a range of CPG brand products for free in exchange for their feedback, according to Retail TouchPoints.
Every other week, members receive up to four products that align with their membership profiles. In return, a six-question feedback survey must be completed within 30 days. Members also are invited to purchase the sampled products by clicking the "Buy Now" button, which redirects them to the brand's e-commerce sites.
Partnering brands receive detailed reports that outline demographics, feedback, "Buy Now" sales conversion rates and other metrics.
"The PINCHme platform modernizes the age-old marketing tactic of product sampling by providing to brands the digital capabilities to create strategically targeted programs and measure ROI," Jeremy Reid, executive chairman of PINCHme, told Retail TouchPoints.
In contrast, Sumpto identifies top social media influencers at colleges and sends them free gifts in hopes that they will brag online about the swag. Sumpto's social influencer rankings not only measure an individual's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram engagement, but also take into account academic, athletic and additional social organizations in which college students are involved.
Sumpto has garnered 17,500 college influencers since it launched out of beta on September 2013, with over 1,800 students who have claimed Sumpto "rewards" consisting of products tailored for each user.
As an example, Sumpto partnered with Jabra and sought out 25 of the most influential college students in music. Providing each influencer with a free pair of Jabra REVO Wireless Headphones generated 487 likes and 276 comments on Facebook and resulted in a reach of over 7.5 million unique impressions for the brand.
Sumpto has also worked with Popchips, Greek Life Threads, Society43, EBoost, CollegeFest and other brands.
"After graduating college, I realized there was a huge disconnect between college students and brands," says Sumpto founder, Ben Kosinski in a press release announcing new funding. "I saw the potential to unite the two, and allow companies to filter through this demographic in order to target a very specific group of students, while also positioning these students as social influencers amongst their friends."

What do you think of the opportunity around online sampling platforms? Do you see digital sampling as more an opportunity to drive trial and feedback or as a way to reach influencers? How should they be set up to maximize digital sampling ROI?

These are great ideas that brands should pay attention to.
PINCHme will work especially well for busy working moms of small kids, who don't have time to explore stores for new and interesting products. And Sumpto can expand by targeting key influencers at colleges. Both have an opportunity to build brand awareness in a way that's both inexpensive and effective.
Sampling has been a foundational interactive marketing activity since the dawn of retailing and it remains viable because it works. Designing and implementing ways to utilize sampling with targeted, digitally-empowered consumers is a powerful combination.
The ROI for Jabra utilizing Sumpto to give away 25 wireless headphones and in return get 7.5 million unique brand impressions is obvious. The brand development formula to find your zealots and then amplify their voice is exponentially heightened in the digital communication era. It always comes down to 'doing the math'.
Imagine the incredible value if you can design a sampling program that went viral?! Could Mentos or Coke have leveraged their brand even further with the fountain art? Great ideas come to my mind for brands like GoPro, Bose, Plantronics and Sharpie.
These platforms can drive several potential benefits. Mass distribution can leverage entire markets. There was a similar effort a few years ago in India by a multinational CPG company, to distribute sample sized, single use personal care products to markets that never used things like shaving cream or toothpaste. Additionally, targeted distribution to potential influencers can also drive growth.
We need to think far more globally for programs such as this. There are so many market place opportunities ripe for sampling programs.
There have been free sampling sites for a while, but both companies described here have a more sophisticated approach than those of the past. There's definitely an opportunity for brands to use these services, but I see it as limited in their ultimate benefit.
There's an array of "samplers" out there from those willing to say anything to get free deodorant to those that appreciate the opportunity to influence peers and shades of people in between. Kind of the focus group scenario of the past. So my bet is on targeting influencers over survey feedback, but the trick is to not setting off the FCC and more so, to be able to really identify true influencers for each given product or brand.
Free sampling definitely will appeal to most consumers. Marketers must consider the target audience, implementation costs and program frequency carefully before committing. There also should be a call-to-action to encourage/motivate future purchases.
These are both great approaches, however, reaching the influencers is the key. If you are trying to market a product, it's all about getting the impressions in the right places and to the right people. Having the ability to identify those people who have the most influence over their peers, etc.? Now, that's spot on!
These are interesting ideas, and I'm sure there is a place for them. But really, how big an opportunity is this? Seems like it will always be a limited scope.
Free sampling puts the product into the consumers hands (or mouths) and does three things:
1. It gets feedback.
2. Potentially more sales from "samplers" becoming purchasers.
3. Potential word-of-mouth marketing, which is far more effective than traditional advertising and marketing.
Done correctly and with the right product, it's a triple win.
The potential for maximizing digital sampling ROI is huge, however, these sites need to ensure that they are supplying the right assortment and inventory necessary to keep consumers engaged. Currently, when signing up for PinchMe, there is only 1 product listed and it is "out of stock." If customers (samplers) are not engaged, or the quality of the inventory declines, then this method may fall victim to the deal fatigue that plagues the daily deal market and the willingness to engage will decrease. Quality brands will not want to associate their product with other cheap, freebie type offers and savvy marketers will be careful before listing just anything on these sites.
If you've committed to a sampling program for the right reasons, digital sampling has a place in your plan. Operational problems like venue negotiation, product delivery, staff training, and the like don't trip you up in the digital channel.
Digital sampling is a great tactic when you want to launch a new product or target a particular demo like college students.
Digital sampling will disappoint if your goals are to drive a deep consumer connection or sell a lot of incremental volume.
Digital sampling works as a balanced part of an overall sampling program.

i share with you the casserole of my people
Wed 2019-07-24 18:49:26 (in context)
No news today, just a recipe. Because I win at casserole, is why. And you can too! Here is how.
First, acquire seven medium-sized mirlitons. Seven is a good number. If you can't find mirliton, chayote will do. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME THING. If you don't already live in a climate and neighborhood where everyone's growing them all over their backyards, I am sorry. I'm with you. I get homesick about it sometimes. If you can't just run out and pick some, and you can't find them in your usual grocery store, you might have luck with an international market. Here in Boulder, I can usually find them at the pan-Asian market over at Valmont and 28th, and I've never not seen them at the Longmont Packing Company, which is a Latin grocery and butcher shop over at Ken Pratt and South Pratt.
Take those mirlitons and boil them for a while. Half an hour? Forty-five minutes? Stick 'em with a fork. If you'd eat a potato that felt like that when you stuck it with a fork, it's probably done.
When they're cool enough to handle, slice each mirliton in half and scoop out the seeds. The seeds are kind of flimsy but the flesh around them might be kinda tough; scoop the tough bits out too. Peel the mirliton halves and chop 'em up.
Put the chopped up mirliton in a pot over medium high heat. Don't add water; just mash up the mirliton. This is a very watery squash. Use a potato masher or a fork or, if you've got one, hit 'em with an immersion blender until they're about like lumpy mashed potatoes. Add as much bouillon as would make a couple cups good rich broth. I used chicken, but you can use whatever you like. Add a tablespoon or two of butter or your favorite vegan substitute. Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Leave the whole mess to simmer, stirring occasionally. You want to boil off as much of the liquid as you can without burning anything.
If you like shrimp, now's a good time to prepare a pound of raw shrimp. If it's frozen, defrost it. If it's got shells on, peel it. Chop it into a nice nubbin size, large enough that your mouth knows it just got a treat but small enough to get several in every spoonful. Ham is another option, chopped to the aforesaid nubbins and added directly to the simmering mirliton mess. Or keep it meatless. It'll be delicious whatever you do.
Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a pan. Chop up and saut�e a respectable-sized onion, two or three ribs celery, a fistful of parsley, and some three or four scallions. Garlic wouldn't go amiss, but it won't be missed either. I meant to put some in but I forgot. Oh well. As long as we're talking onions and celery and New Orleans cuisine, you'll be thinking green bell pepper belongs in there too, and you're not wrong, but my mom always left out so I tend to do the same. Anyway, saut�e this mess until the onion's soft and translucent, at which point you'll add your shrimp if you're doing shrimp and cook it 'til it just turns pink.
If the stars are aligned and all things are in harmony, your savory vegetables will be done and your optional shrimp just pinkened about the same time your seasoned mirliton mush will be mostly liquid-free. If the stars are not particularly cooperative, you can soak up the extra liquid with half a cup or more of bread crumbs. Actually, just add the bread crumbs regardless. I mean, it is a casserole. Combine the two messes into one big mess, stir it up good, then decant it into a 9 x 13 baking pan. Put more breadcrumbs on the top. Plain? Italian style? Panko? You know what you like. Make it happen.
Bake at 350 degrees F until done. "Done" to me means that there have been visible bubbles percolating up through the casserole for a while and that the breadcrumb topping has gotten some definite golden brown crisping action around the edges. Bake it until it's whatever "done" means to you.
Let sit about ten minutes, then eat it while it's hot. Leftovers may be reheated or eaten cold, optionally right out of the baking pan.
And that is, more or less, The Casserole Of My People.

Under-tile heating is one of the most efficient ways of heating a bathroom or larger room. The Hotwire System is a 3mm thick, spooled electric heating element installed directly under tiles, granite, marble or slate. It's installed on top of the slab and radiates heat to warm the air by convection. But it's important to make a decision early if you're building a new home or renovating because you need to lay the heating element underneath your tiles.
Some systems can be fully programmable and provide uniform, on-demand warmth. A kit suitable for a bathroom is around $499; and for a large family room runs from around $1200. Laying an under-tile heating system can be a DIY job with an electrician required only for installation of the thermostat. The tiles must be laid with adequate expansion joints in-between to prevent cracking. Aesthetics apart, there are practical reasons for under-tile heating – especially in areas subject to water spillage like bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. Editorial provided by Beaumont Tiles.

Scenario: I have an ASP.NET MVC application developed in Visual Studio 2008. There is a root folder named "Content" that stores images and stylesheets. When I run locally (using Cassini) and browse my application, every resource from the "Content" directory is always downloaded. Using Firebug, I can verify that the web server returns an HTTP 200 ("ok").
Desired: I would like for Cassini to return HTTP 304 ("not modified") instead of 200. This is the behavior when running the site under IIS7.
Reasoning: The site I am working on has a large number of static resources (often as many as 40 per page). Browsing the site is very fast on IIS7, because these resources are (correctly) cached by the browser. However, browsing the site on my local machine is painfully slow.
Pages that render in under 1 second on IIS7 take over 30 seconds to render on Cassini. It's actually faster for me to upload the entire website every few minutes and test from there. (Yes, I recognize that this is perverse and crazy.)
So: how can I instruct/trick Cassini into treating the "Content" directory like IIS7 does?

This last fall, when Luke and I sat down to talk about how to re-package our wedding photography, we made a dream list! Our wedding photography package is a list of everything we would want as a bride & groom! It is designed with your wedding day experience in mind!
An engagement session is such a fun way for us to get to know our couples. We get to teach them fun poses so that on the wedding day there's less directing and more enjoying! These photos are so helpful for wedding day decorating, announcements, and telling the engagement part of your love story!
The best stories give you a little behind-the-scenes look before the big reveal! Just look at Fixer-upper with Chip & Joanna Gaines! Not saying that you all need to be overhauled to look good! Ha! But I am saying that a well-told story takes you from the excitement of getting read through the first look, then the ceremony, and finally time together as husband & wife!!
This means more sharing, more giving, more using, and as a wedding photographer I'd love those beautiful images to be spread about your world with generous love. No watermarks, no extra fees, just happy sharing!
One of those things that will stay with you for life. This is a timeless addition to your wedding photography experience!
Because two shooters equal double coverage! The walk down the aisle done in seconds and first kiss lasts even less time than that! Can you imagine trying to get your ideal job done in second every time? We probably could! But we never want to risk it on your wedding day! That wouldn't be giving our couples the best we can offer, and that is what we are all about!
Last but not least, there are two of you! When the bride and groom see eachother for the first time one of us gets to focus on her face one of us gets to focus on his face! We get to capture both sides of the love story! I could go on and on with this one so check out our post on the importance of a second shooter here!
After we created the list, Luke and I decided right then and there that we were going to do everything we could to get each one of our brides the whole list! Weddings only happen once, and then that moment is gone and we want to set our brides up with the most amazing wedding day experience!

From Slovenia to Macedonia
Troubled Times, 10 Years On
When it all started, nobody expected it to last as long as it did. Especially considering the fact that the developments in Slovenia in June 1991 resembled an opera fashioned in the spirit of the famous words of an anonymous soldier who, explaining to a reporter what was happening, said in irony and desperation: "It's as if they are trying to become independent and we are letting them." Afterward, the famous "as if" became the typical characteristic of the many bloody events that have unfolded for 10 long years, spinning out like film from a reel, until Macedonia this June. The events followed the same road the naive Yugoslavs proudly called the road of "Brotherhood and Unity." In this way, from northwest to southeast, the flames of war, directed as though by a secret hand pulling the strings of evil, engulfed the countries of the former Yugoslavia one by one.
1991: In June, the Slovenian and Croatian parliaments declare independence. Slovenian governmental organs begin to assume the competencies of the federal state, and Yugoslav authorities decide to mobilize the Yugoslav army. The war between the Slovenian territorial guard and Yugoslav army troops is short, with many cease-fires. The Yugoslav army withdraws from Slovenia, Slovenians celebrate their victory and their new hero—[former Slovenian Minister of Defense] Janez Jansa.
After a series of incidents involving heavy fighting (Plitvice, Borovo Selo), war engulfs Croatia. [Croatian President Franjo] Tudjman calls a meeting of the national guard and appoints a fugitive from the Yugoslav army, Anton Tus, as its new head. Attacks on [federal] army barracks begin. The Yugoslav army withdraws to the ethnic Serbian territories of Croatia, and the bloody autumn ends with the fall of Vukovar. The year's bloody drama ends with the division of Croatia into two parts, with the Serb-held territories under the name Republika Srpska Krajina and the entrance of U.N. peacekeeping troops (the blue helmets that were deployed according to the "inkstain" principle). That Christmas, the Vatican and Germany recognize the independence of Slovenia and Croatia. Other European states follow; the United States withholds recognition.
1992: After a period of relative calm following the war in Croatia, Bosnia comes next. The United States, followed by the other powers, recognizes the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The leadership of the Bosnian Serbs is transferred from Sarajevo to Pale, and Yugoslav troops, thus abandoned, die on the streets of Sarajevo. The bloody multiethnic war among Serbs, Muslims, and Croats begins with the Serbian occupation of Sarajevo, followed by volleys of mortar shells from across the rivers Drina, Una, Vrbas, and Bosna.
With the outbreak of the war in Bosnia, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia formally ceases to exist. Serbia and Montenegro form the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav army ceases to exist after peacefully withdrawing from Macedonia. The United Nations introduces sanctions against the new Yugoslav state because of its assistance to Croatian and Bosnian Serbs.
1993: The first sign of conflict between Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic and the leadership of the Bosnian Serbs. This is the year—after Radovan Karadzic's failed attempt to accept the Vance-Owen plan—that the Milosevic regime imposes its blockade on the Drina River.
1995: Key year in the unfolding of the crisis west of the river Drina. Croatian forces, first in operation "Flash" (May) and then "Storm"(August), expel nearly all Serbs from western Slavonia and Knin Krajina. In the fall, Muslim-Croat forces seize much of Serb-held territory in western Bosnia. Dayton follows. At the U.S. base in Ohio, Slobodan Milosevic, Franjo Tudjman, and [Bosnian Muslim leader] Alija Izetbegovic sign the [Dayton peace agreement]. The war ends.
1996: The first half of the year passes amid the "blessings of Dayton." In the second half, the first signs appear of the existence of a terrorist organization called the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Killing begins in Kosovo.
1998: KLA members intensify their terrorist activity. Their target is everything that represents and reflects Serbian power. In October, after one of many visits by the U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke to Milosevic, the direct threat of air attacks is broached for the first time. Armed intervention hangs in the air.
1999: After the failure of talks in Rambouillet, France, NATO intervention becomes a reality. For 78 days, the air forces of the Western alliance bomb targets in Yugoslavia. In Kosovo, the KLA is engaged in a ground war with the army and police. NATO considers ground intervention, but the signing of the Kumanovo agreement after the initiative of [then-Russian Prime Minister Viktor] Chernomyrdin and [former Finnish President Marti] Ahtisaari prevents this from happening. The Yugoslav army and the Serbian police withdraw from Kosovo, and NATO troops enter Serbia's southern province.
2000: A small-scale war develops in southern Serbia, where Albanian extremists attempted to "liberate" the area that they call "eastern Kosovo." Their activities are thwarted by military means and, above all by, the diplomatic efforts of the new authorities in Serbia and Yugoslavia.
2001: The war finally targets the last Yugoslav republic to escape its horrors: Macedonia. After calm returned to southern Serbia, Albanian extremists brought the evil of the war to a country that had been patiently struggling, by peaceful means, to avoid fiery national passions. This spring, the fatal hand of the god Mars touches the last oasis of peace in the former Yugoslavia. Incidentally, this turn of events occurred at the same moment that Milosevic, the one most responsible for the outbreak of wars in the Balkans, was arrested and imprisoned in Belgrade.
In the territory of the former Yugoslavia, or in the so-called Second Yugoslavia, there are five countries—at least for now:
Slovenia: A monoethnic country that, despite relative economic stability, has difficulty in approaching [Western] Europe, mainly because of restrictive laws that ban foreigners from owning property.
Croatia: After many years of Tudjman's rule, this monoethnic country has been shaken by frequent corruption scandals. Power is in the hands of the liberal-nationalists and the former communists disguised as social democrats.
Bosnia: The two-part "Dayton state," with conflicts between Muslims and Croats within the federation. A country under a sort of international tutelage. It could hardly survive without generous help from abroad.
Macedonia: A country that remains unrecognized in the world under this name (formally, it is still called FORYOM: Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).
Yugoslavia: The fragile federation includes an international protectorate (Kosovo). The country is economically exhausted and has been battered by years of isolation.

As Jesuit educators, our goal is to form students to be men and women for others and this forms the basis of how we teach, interact with students, and make decisions. Over the years I've taught with St. Bonaventure's College, we have been blessed with several professional development opportunities designed to encourage us to bring this goal into our teaching in more overt ways. But as teacher of senior high Mathematics I've really struggled in this endeavor. I've always envied the Humanities teachers their ability to easily incorporate vital issues such as current events, controversies, and social issues into their lessons. These fit quite naturally, and necessarily, into these areas. But in Math, addressing cultural and political issues is a bit of a stretch in most cases.
I consider myself to be a creative thinker, but attempting to marry civic engagement with quadratic equations, or gender politics with logarithms, has often ended only with frustration and failure. And I don't think I'm alone in this. Where I come from, Math as a discipline, has long suffered the same problem. How do we help our students to engage with the world around them in truly meaningful ways? The staple answer to this question has always been to build in token attempts at problem solving. "Betty is driving to a political rally. If she has to drive for 2 hours at a speed of 50km/h and 1.5 hours at a speed of 75 km/h, how far away is the rally?" In some schools perhaps this is enough, but it falls so short of the meaningful engagement expected by our Ignatian principles that it feels almost insulting. So how can we really do it justice? (pardon the pun).
In the last couple of years, I've set out to make some progress on this question. First, I tried reaching out to our global community on Educate Magis. And while I got a couple of responses from teachers interested in the same thing, no one seemed to have cracked the code yet. So, I decided to just dive in and try something. I tried to start small with a single topic, only to realize that to be meaningful it can't be small. So, I went big…and I mean big. I decided to tackle the planet as a whole. Or at least our representation and understanding of it.
Taking inspiration from an episode of the TV drama "The West Wing", I built a unit around the Mercator Projection Map, which is one of the most commonly used maps of the world. Dating back to 1569, the Mercator Projection was originally designed for sailors to make navigation easier. Unfortunately, the way the 3-dimensional globe is interpreted into a 2-dimensional image results in significant distortion in the size, shape, and location of land masses. Most people don't see a problem with this, which is why this map persists in common use even today. The issue is in how North American culture tends to associate size with importance, and there is quite a lot of research to support this. The Mercator Projection inflates the size of northern land masses while decreasing the size of equatorial regions. The very real and measurable consequence is that we tend to perceive northern countries as more significant and more important, because this is exactly what the map indicates. As a result, developing countries, almost all of which are located in equatorial regions or in the global south, are easily dismissed by northern-centric attitudes.
So, we've got a real issue, but what does this have to do with math? Well it turns out that maps work really well for introducing trigonometry since distance between two places can be represented as a right triangle created using the north/south and east/west lines as sides with path of travel as the hypotenuse. The shape of the earth allows it to fit quite nicely into calculations of surface area and volume of spheres. So, with a little rearranging and reframing of some of the content in my grade 10 curriculum, I was able to cover two units of my existing course under the umbrella of social justice. We wove the theme of maps throughout the lessons in both units, using different versions including the Educate Magis Global Map. We were able to compare the area displayed on the rectangular map to the actual surface area of the earth and discuss where and how the discrepancy creeps in. We were able to observe the importance of an accurate map in navigation. Plotting your travel between two points relies pretty heavily on the destination being where you expect it to be. Inaccurate maps cause all sorts of problems, both practical and cultural. Why then do we continue to use these flawed tools?
It was the consideration of this last question that I felt to be the real value of this project. It isn't an accident that notions like this persist, the Mercator Projection is only one example. It's vital that our students examine issues and ask the important questions. Why is this still in use? Who benefits from this? Who suffers because of it? Students need to learn to see injustice before they can fix it. Herein lies the goal of Jesuit Education. It's not enough to teach the individual subjects. The subjects aren't the point. Our students are going to grow up to shape society and culture through their influence. They need to ask the important questions, they need to make global connections, and they need to identify the important problems, because it's going to be up to them to find the important solutions. My job isn't done yet…but at least this is a start.

Seniors still 'splitting' reps at running back
AUBURN -- Reese Dismukes may see Cameron Artis-Payne as the lead dog in Auburn's crowded backfield, but Gus Malzahn says it's still an even race.
"(Artis-Payne) and Corey (Grant) have been splitting it," the Auburn coach said. "They're veteran guys. They know every bit of our offense, which is very important. The first game will be about our adjustments, and those guys are capable of doing that. Now, Peyton Barber and Roc (Thomas) have both gotten a lot of reps also. You've got to have your running backs ready."
During a radio interview Monday, Dismukes said the starter will "probably be maybe Cameron Artis-Payne that'll probably start off with that (starting) role."
Though the quarterback situation is ambiguous, at best, Malzahn said that doesn't mean the Tigers will rely on their running game until Marshall takes the field.
"We'll run our offense regardless," Malzahn said.

Ms. Wong Tze Wing
1Burns Centre, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Hospital Authority, Hong Kong
Introduction:Burn incidents happen are always unexpected. There were increasing trends of burn injuries in the community. Burn injury is preventable. Public needs to recognize that a safe home environment contributes to the prevention of burn & scald accidents. However, it is an important message to disseminate to families with babies or toddlers particularly. Also, home safety environment is important element for the elderly living alone.
In the past five years (2009-2013), the average burn admission was 68% of total admission in Burns Centre. Most of victims were injured due to careless or knowledge deficit. And numbers of burn or scald admissions had no or improper first aid treatment. However, the application of first aid treatment is critical in affecting the consequence on depth of burn wound and recovery process. Therefore, community promotion and education on Burn prevention and First aid intervention are mandatory.
- To increase public awareness in prevention of burn injury
- To disseminate the concept of correct first aid treatment after burn injury
- To reduce the risk of secondary burn or scald injury
Methodology:In 2014 onwards, correct first aid education on burn injury was conducted to patients and carers in Burns Centre. Our primary nurses provided educational talks about First aid intervention to them and evaluate regarding the intervention provided upon these incidents. Also, information pamphlets for First aid treatment were given to them for reminder.
Three Health Carnivals were conducted in 2012 -2014 in Hong Kong. Booths on Burn Prevention and Correct first aid treatment were displaced to disseminate these important message. Games were designed to attract the public to participate the event. Knowledge on Burn prevention, Home safety and Correct first aid treatment were delivered to them (including elderly and parents). Finally, a lot of citizens enjoyed these events.
Reference:Hospital Authority Statistical Report 2008-2013, Hospital Authority.
Ms. Wong Tze Wing is Nurse Consultant In Burn and Plastic Specialty in Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong Hospital Authority. She has extensive experience in burn management and regularly teaches and coaches nursing colleagues in Hong Kong. She also takes part in advances in burn care and is an EMBS course Nurse coordinator.
