Anyone who knew me as a kid knows it's an astoundingly, flabbergasting, jaw-dropping, stupefying surprise that I'm a father. Sure, I had a future even a wrong turn could help back then, but it also was clear from the get-go that another planet was, in fact, my home. I lived spaced out most of the time.
Still, there has always been a Father in me.
A fishing Grandpa….who knew?
Basically, my kid-self was a walking brain dent.
School was torture, a work around looking to happen, though girls were annoyingly interesting. Sports became my ticket to skate by on in high school. Next came a spin as class VP. I spent a zillion hello's on friends passing in school halls like a pseudo-millionaire with no money.
The politician in me continued to thrive through my non-formative years of college.
As a sophomore, the college paper deemed me, Apple Gerry, with a front page picture that showed me ranting about student dorm rights. Soon, I was appointed by the graduating head of , Group X, to be this organization's next President. Now, Group X had two major agendas. First, our group wanted , 'open,' dorms with visiting rights for both men and women 24/7. (Seems my younger interests stuck with me). Secondly, we wanted visiting rights for women in the men's dorms. I know, these two agendas seem the same, but agenda two left men out of female dorms. Underlying our two hot pulsing agenda's were rumors I made sure spread that Group X would host off campus beer parties. It all worked great until those beer parties took effect which is why I don't remember how long Group X survived and when or why it ended…
Not to be detoured, my free-fallin', dancing, singing self landed me a membership pre-facto of Phi-Kappa-Phi since I refused to go thru hazing but was made an off-the-record member of the fraternity house anyway. It was a great, wild , short year of being reprimanded by the College Administration. Before our house knew it, women weren't allowed in our second story where the beds were, so, yeah, we moved all the beds down to the basement and slept there and stuff. This pissed Admin off but it wasn't until we held a beer-bed floating party in the basement with strippers from Baltimore as hosts that our house got shut down! I mean, completely closed for a year!!! Can you imagine?!?! Of course, I had very little to do with any of this that I remember.
My successful political days weren't over, but it was time for those college days to fog into post college days of running naked in the Ocala National Forest, jumping naked off lime pits east of Gainesville with 300 hundred others on any given Saturday afternoon and strolling by police cars while at a nude block party on NE 1st street here in Gainesville. I know, I know, you're thinking I was a nudist but, no, I wore clothes to job interviews and stuff all the time.
(Clothes on! This is the site of many Bonaparte late night ,'Chunky-dunks,' but we can't beat Ireland's recent Guinness book world record-breaking 2500 nude swimmers at once!)*
All that college,'Fog,' cleared into pot smoke that guided my way for a few more zillion years as I grew older without growing up. There's a pill to take for that, but I forget the color!
Next thing I knew, my ears pretty much got too long for my face and my children stole my hair.
I remember waking up one day and staring into the mirror realizing very little.
I'd set down my principles and forgotten where they were unless I tripped over them while changing diapers. It was nifty earning money that was really other people's money if I made it to the power company on time to keep the lights on. I was consumed with successful failure without notice or care but for my family. I have to say, that bunch got my attention.
I suppose it's true to say one baby led to another and then another which led to seven others—so far.
(Here's five of them being still all at once!?!?!)
But through it all I maintained my hat wearing image with uniquely obtuse discernment, a finesse of in-depth leadership and control.
Clearly, this is not me , but a look-a-like! Aaron is, however, wearing my glasses!!! Have you ever noticed children love to wear glasses, but that's never good for the glasses?
As it turns out, I like to grow things, whether it be debates on issues (have you noticed), babies, grand children, properties, gardens and wrinkles….
Click the pic to see the start of hat construction and the wrinkle lines I spent hours, days, weeks, heck, years putting on my face!!
I'm not sure what ticket I would have been on if you told me back in high school that I'd end up a paper bag hat wearing, wrinkled eared, laughing Grandpa. Maybe, the one to the fast train to Berkeley or the over-life sleeper to the deep woods of Canada.
Yep. Throughout the laughs there was a Father in me after all. Man, this is great; a nice surprise, indeed. Who knew I had a plan all along? Me!
(This is my brother-in-law and his wife and me with my wife standing in front of what we believe was the location of my wife's ancestor's home. They were hat makers in Denton, England. I was making leather hats in a barn in Gainesville in the 1970's when my wife first moved in with me! See? That's called a plan:-)
A spirited adventure to enliven your soul…..
A romp in the swamp that will hook you…
The truth of the matter; it's pure fat, er, fact…
I could hardly get a laugh in between push-ups
How to drink and enjoy it more—A Japanese bar…
Our dog who died to live…do dogs have souls?
Cheers! Have a great weekend…
I can't quite put my finger on it…
But as much as the Lake is about the people you see there, the Lake has a life of its own.
Just when you think things are under control, you're using power tool while standing in the water. Maybe, even drinkin'
Hats are available, especially when working….this I learned at work
Hats work at work as well….
All of us-working…..
So, there's dinner for five hundred biblical style…
The lake floats plenty of boats….
Funny, but I thought about this floating scene while floating down a river in Xcaret, Mexico with my wife a few months ago….BTW-a must do if you can
It's a great time to be going to the lake; anytime is.
Bye for now….off to the Lake…
Franque23—fun times ahead.
When I think about it, maybe I should just stay home and stick fish-hooks in my fingers instead of going north to do it.
Up north or down south, hooks hurt like any other. And why go through the trouble of driving 22 hours north to spill gas or oil on myself as the boat rocks? I do that servicing my lawn mower here at home.
I can sun burn out back in our yard or slip on these steps here-who needs a dock. Sure, I don't have 49 steps in Florida, but falling's falling, peeling's peeling.
I have a choice: reel in weeds from the lake or pull them from my yard at home. One hawk's cry echoes any other, and my neighbors here shoot off guns from time to time with almost the same regularity as Fort Drum's boomers shake the windows up north. Of course, the Lake has those magnificent jets flying around now and then, but Gainesville has an old twin prop plane that fly's overhead occasionally.
Traffic cops here; traffic cops there. The bugs are about the same. Used to be the beer brands were different up north, now, not so much. The traffic jams home give me time to think while New York State RT 3 is one long country road populated by drivers who wave as they go by. Oy Vey, the arm strain up north is almost as bad as the back pain you get from visiting Japan.
If that friendly clerk at the grocery store asks me one more time how I am….down here there's no time for a polite hello; we're all busy, in a hurry and completely bummed out by searing heat, too many lunatics and raging jobs. Crowds and one million fast food joints-that's more like it!
We have no internet connection and choose not to hook up our TV up north. Basically, there's only morning, noon, afternoon, evening and night, one day after they other. Pesky, friendly neighbors say hello and every one smiles, plays cards, fails at puzzle making, swims, fishes, boats, floats, and laughs the time away. It's a crap load of fun, day in and day out, always the same, tireless, never-ending, on and on, repeated mirrored days that reflect in the lake*.
The air itself, purified by the Adirondack trees and the lack of major industrial pollution, is much purer than the air found almost anywhere else on the planet-it's work, breathing the fresh air in and out-improving health takes some adjustment. The energy you feel up at the lake is one big pain in the ass…who needs energy when they could've stayed home and melted into a couch while flipping TV channels.
Nothing comes free, and nap time up north cuts into daily pleasures. That's pressure right there. You can catch people power napping all over the lake trying to hurry up the process so the day doesn't slip by too fast. Even blinking seems a waste.
So why go north when I can sweat at home? Hmmm,,,ya know, thinking about it all, maybe 22 hours driving with a wife, two grand kids and a dog isn't really that long of a trip.
Maybe, I would survive the fun, live through the air-breathing task and haul in some fish with those weeds?!?!
Come to think of it, my bags are already packed, and why not? We leave for the lake in 108 hours and 14 minutes. The boat's callin'…
*Dale, my wife took these amazing shots of Bonaparte…
- The Avatar Magic series is out on Kindle now….here are the three links to each book..I do hope you'll spread the word and enjoy these writings.

The 22 plus hour drive from our Florida home up to the lake always means we count our blessing if we get in before sundown on the second day of the trip. Towing two grand children, 5 and 6, plus a year and one half old catahoula made the trip a bit longer… But no worries-out of the car, the bags stowed inside our camp and then a quick splash in the water made it all good. Last summer's first sundown was rated an average of 6 out of ten points…I gave it a five, since I'm spoiled rotten, but others pulled up the rating.
We were waiting for our boat to be delivered, so the whole day was a bust.
Oy Veyish, we had to wait a whole 5 hours for the boat to arrive….so I got the tackle ready while Dale worked hard to over turn the kid's kayaks. What? I mean, this is the Lake. Who hasn't been thrown in with all their clothes on? See a shrink if not; you have no true friends.
Finally, after boring games, swimming, kayaking, swimming more, throwing a ball one hundred times for our puppy Shadow to retrieve in the Lake,,,,we got to go out, we got to answer the call of the fish, we got to prove the engine would start and put hooks in my fingers.
I'm not sure what Isaiah had done to his brother so that he alone could be in this picture… Thing is, I'm certain I don't want to know. On another note-I was thrilled to see some nice perch keepers come up…It's been awhile since those tasty fish were on my plate. And, I see from FB shots that the Walleye have been caught lately, too…..very good indeed.
I discovered how to bait one hundred worms on moving, swerving, lookout duck! slap in my face hooks in less than one minute.
Bapa's Epitaph should read: Survived teaching Grandchildren how to fish-for a pretty good length of time.
The early morning fishing trip was my revenge plan. The three of us went out early, way early, but in June, as Lake Bonapertian's know, the sun only pretends to set at about 10 PM-it's actually rising then but you don't get to see it until just after 3:30 AM. Plus the AM trips lets us guys rev the motor to let everyone know we're out and about. Good morning!
What my grandchildren didn't know is this: what Bonaparte fish do best in the morning is sleep. Heck, they've been tearing one another up all night long. So it was a good laugh while we filled the boat full of nothing time and time again, and then headed back home in a glorious morning light. I couldn't help but think of mom and dad who'd given us, their children, the camp.
.…..(Claudia and Max Franquemont)
The cabin was a bit cool when we arrived back home; I lit a fire while the kids tried to forget about wanting to throw me over board the next time we went out-I hoped.
When it came time for breakfast, everyone had a face for the 4 AM fishing trip idea….
Okay, with 4 AM fishing trips put out on-a-line, it meant we had time to finish a very difficult puzzle. We gathered for a shot to celebrate two weeks of hard work, and the completion of a master piece-Bonaparte style…
Trouble was, the sun kept rising and then the day vanishing before yet again another sunset had to be rated…We turned around, took one swim, a short nap and the dang vacation was over! Someone really needs to look into the time problem up at the Lake. I've got my buddy, Paul Doherty, hot on the case-He'll fix this crap , I just know it.
And since when does time speed up in Mud Lake worse than a Formula One X 2016 at the Daytona speedway?
Anyway, we watched our last sundown-
I spent the next hour thinking of how I might fake falling down the cliff, break a few bones here and there, and get to stay a couple of extra weeks….None of it seemed likely.
So we had to leave, and in just 11 and 1/2 weeks we'll be back. That's a mere one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two hours….a piece of cake. Actually, I think just under three months sounds better. Anyway, the whole crew is coming back, and I can't wait for that next early morning fishin' trip.(Gonna wear my life jacket this time.)
Franque23 loves the Lake.
(Two public meetings have been scheduled by county staff to present their response to the revised Plum Creek plan:
- February 16, 2016
- February 18, 2016
Ha! Alachua County Forever , my ass. Right now, elected officials may be about to approve a building development that flies in the face of the Alachua County Forever agenda! This plan is one made in hell and disregards the will of the people of Alachua County and the entire state of Florida! It comes to us under the guise of, Envision Alachua, a new improved plan brought up just three months after voters fully backed Alachua Forever Amendment 1 at the voting booths. Thing is, developers couldn't find a way to work around the Alachua Forever amendment so they've invented this Envision Alachua and they're calling it a "Community backed" program. Whahhah…maybe it is backed by a community of thieves hell-bent on circumventing the people's will, but that's about it. Just last Nov. the people voted on Amendment 1 and that amendment won by over a 75% majority-an amendment that, in part, supported the green passageway in Florida and our state's wet lands. It is a blue print of how We the People want growth and development in Florida to be structured right now and in the future—forever.
The plum creek development proposed site lands right on top of Florida's green passageway
Contact these Alachua County Commissioners now and ask them to stop Plum Creek-You'll get the big picture if you read Commissioner, Mike Byerly's comments on the link below-he's got it right,,,Commissioner, Hutchinson is oh so wrong…

And it even gets worse. The developer's requested to have waved the required(by law prior to building) plans for road development and septic usage until AFTER the development is built! Why-oh-why does this all make me think of the Bio Mass plant scenario disaster our citizens of this county have had to endure ….oh, wait, I know why: it's because this Plum Creek crap is the same sort of a load our elected officials pulled when the Bio plant was put into action.
Okay, why should we the citizens of Alachua County, Florida, and the entire US hate the Plum Creek building plans? Ha—amendment 1 just passed Nov 2015 by over 75%,,,an amendment put in place to stop just this sort of urban sprawl into our wet lands and intrusion of the green passageway for migrating animals from north to south Florida. In part, the protection of this passageway is what Alachua Forever is about. Now, within one year of the passages of amendment 1 back room deals and elected officials threaten to side step the will of the people by allowing this development…..Here's a short list of those groups who supported amendment 1–and IF you or anyone you know is a member of any of these groups–please contact them and have them write Alachua county officials,,, and Cynthia Chestnut the current chair of he Democratic party for North Florida. The, no, THE list—-"Florida's Water and Land Legacy Campaign attributes much of its success to the invaluable service of its volunteers and generous contributions of donors.

I thank you,,,and our grandchildren will, too.
"I love the Lake!" How many Lake Bonaparte lovers have said those words?!?!? Scads, zillions, bunches of happy people. "Food taste sooo good up there!" Mouths stuffed with fresh fish, Croghan Baloney and New York Cheddar smile to say the words.
I simply accepted the truism all my life that it felt great to be at Lake Bonaparte! There was never any question, and I didn't need to ask my cousins about the fact, either.
But, after 66 years of visits my mind in a random way started wondering exactly why it felt so good to be at the lake. Of course, there's the beauty of the place-enough to bulldoze any problem away in a sunset of a second.
And, there's the people-family, loved ones, friends. Plus, ya just can't leave out the relaxed atmosphere it seems people hang out in most of the time while up at the lake.
Still, I needed something a bit more tangible-why was I so happy at the lake, so bouncy up and down our set of sixty steps from the cabin to the dock below? How did staying up to see the Northern lights and then getting up early to fish work? At home, I often crawl in and out of bed, but I've a lawn to mow, bushes to trim, toes nails to cut and light bulbs to change at home. Maybe all that work weighs down the days at home? But Wait! I've boat loads of work to do at the lake-lawns to mow, trees to chain saw, docks to clean and treat-heck, often an entire year's maintenance for the lake house is crammed into a two-week visit! Of course, I'm not working at my job while at the lake, and vacation has a way of making a fella feel good. Nah, none of those calculations added up to fishing, boating, rowing and bounding up stairs-having that superman feeling I enjoy experiencing while up at the Lake..
I may have found one secret to Lake Bonaparte's all invasive power, it's lure, like a plug to a fish, one underlying undeniable truth about the lake's energy. It's all about…..the air.
Right, taking in the air at the lake is akin to walking into an oxygen tent. Breathing in at Lake Bonaparte zings the body full of new life. Fact-the air at Lake Bonaparte has 95% less hazardous air pollutants than the national average air American's breath day in , day out! It figures the air is filtered by the Adirondacks, the largest track of free range land America has left.
It all makes perfect sense: pure air leads to clear minds, better smelling, tasting, maybe thinking, more energy and a happy feeling. Wow and whew, I couldn't believe the stats on the air when I stumbled across these findings…Enjoy the figures-
These findings over a 365 day period.
Harrisville New York City National
|Air quality index
|43 50
|Pollution index
|9,468,840 5,072,052
The Harrisville, NY air quality index is a median value which considers the most hazardous air pollutants. The Harrisville, NY air quality index is 27.5% less than the New York average and 37.6% less than the national average.
The Harrisville, NY pollution index is the sum of the most hazardous air pollutants displayed in pounds. The Harrisville, NY pollution index is 97.6% less than the New York average and 95.5% less than the national average.
Air Pollution Information for Lake Bonaparte/Harrisville area
|Carbon Tetrachloride
So it all adds up, but this is to take nothing away from all that is Lake Bonaparte! What a mind-blowing place!!!
Lake Bonapartre is a living , breathing mediation…
There's nothing like a breath of fresh air to do the soul some good.
Book one, Avatar Magic, and book two, The Code of Avatar Magic are on kindle now. Please enjoy this Sci-fi romance.
My wife and I planned to venture by plane up to our lake cabin for a week-long story hour with two grandsons, age six and seven. Simply, we'd not lost but forgotten sanity all together. The grandchildren slept over the night before to make the morning flight more manageable.
"Oh no!"
We were in the car and about 1/2 mile from the house on our way to the Gainesville airport when my wife uttered the words. I figured she'd forgotten something, maybe a purse, keys, money, laptop, certainly never her good looks, or maybe the tea kettle was left boiling. All that was doable; we had time to spare.(BTW-that's never true.)
"My pants are on inside out!"
To date-this was a first, but it was all too true, the stitch line fringe giving my wife's pant legs almost a disco seventies mod look. It was funny, and not at all worrying, even when a few days later she showed up on the dock with her swim suit on inside out-Madonna, eat your heart out.
I suspect having two grands around was both rewarding and a bit distracting.
Meanwhile, why(as we were outside enjoying the lake this past week) people came into our lake house and relocated my keys, glasses, jackets, I understand the fishing license, but not eat the New York State cheddar or pop a root beer while invading our space is a mystery? I had to go on, find those misplaced items, snatch the worms out of our inside frig and place them in the outside one, remove the fishhooks from my fingers and trip over toys before the day could ever get better.
Okay, I'm not forgetful, but I taped my name on my forehead for safe keeping?
I tried not to turn around in a room more than once at a time-per day. I checked the trash when something important went missing; if the coffee cream was not in the frig that meant it was already by my coffee mug where I'd just put it down. The good news-I still can count the number of times I've ever opened two beers at about the same time on my relative's fingers….
It'd been a busy morning on departure day as we prepared to go back home, to leave a lake of endless wonder and beauty. We snuck in swimming, finessed in some kayaking, wiggled in worm fishing and carried everything up from the docks to store in place for the long winter months. It was time to depart with the camp walls still standing, our vacation from heaven over, the time gone by so fast.
How is it a week at the lake seems to pass as a day while the memory lasts forever.
The past never leaves the present.
My wife shared a story during our car ride to the Syracuse airport…
"I was paddling the kayaks today when I spotted you going up our stairs to the camp from the docks. Since the kayaks weren't in view, I figured you'd already miraculously carried them up the stairs !" Then, she paddled the kayak some more.
I was still laughing about my wife wondering where the kayak she was paddling had gone when I checked our plane tickets, the row and seat numbers, while seated by the gate waiting to be called for boarding. I hated to leave the lake, but it was time to put one foot in front of the other. I looked for any wrappers the kids might have left around our seats to throw out along with my empty coffee cup and sandwich box. I sat back down and immediately hoped I could retrieve our tickets from the garbage can before too many others added to that trash. Digging through the trash looking for plane tickets-perfect.
This is why we'd played Clue with a grandson who knew we didn't have one.
I never did finish the puzzle from hell I'd started that week, but maybe that's best since life is a puzzle and I hope ours will go on for quite some time. And I'll miss the lake, that's something I never seem to forget-the missing, the views, smell, the sense of how endless the Northern lights prove our universe is, so way beyond the hook hole in my finger.
The loons call to those who love Lake Bonaparte. We lake lovers call back with our laughter, sense of being and sincere hope that the future will always find this place whole, fulfilling, and as unique for those who will follow. Heck, I even wish this for the guy who took my pen and paper pad from the cabin-I looked everywhere. Jeez!
A week at Lake Bonaparte with two Grandchildren! That's the long way to spell JOY.
Book one, Avatar Magic and book two, The Code of Avatar Magic are on kindle now.
Some say you've done a lot of good during your terms as President,others not so much. But, you are letting the world down now. Drilling in the Arctic has to be the worst possible scenario in terms of environmental conservation, and pointless to boot.* Of course, As President, you know the ins and outs of drilling in the Arctic, that the arctic gas and oil fields are the largest left on earth, but they also reside where cleanup is impossible, human response time to disasters slow, and economically and culturally important species will be put at risk by drilling.
It's simply not true that America needs to process the Arctic waters for oil production. It's simply not true that drilling in the arctic ocean will help secure American's future, or make a difference in our over all supply and demand of oil. The entire world is turning toward solar power development, and wind and water power-alternative energy. Why enforce a bad decision now and lead America away from the future?
The gain is little and the risk of environmental damage high.
Even America's own watch dog agency ,The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, stated that there was an 75% chance that the world will suffer an environmental disaster brought on by off shore Arctic drilling. And, there's more- "The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management released the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Lease Sale 193 in the Chukchi Sea in Northwest Alaska. The federal government unlawfully sold the oil and gas lease to oil companies, including Shell, in 2008 when it underestimated the risks of a large oil spill. The revised analysis found a 75 percent chance that one or more large oil spills could occur and that many species of marine wildlife would face substantial injury and mortality in the face of an oil spill. Despite these risks, the federal government is prepared to offer 29.4 million acres, the entire Chukchi Sea Program Area, for oil and gas development. – See more at: http://www.foe.org/news/news-releases/2015-02-chukchi-lease-analysis-predicts-large-arctic-oil-spills#sthash.p2xhmDzG.dpuf. Why then, Mr. President, are you willing to risk so much for so little?
Mr. President, if you closed your eyes today and envisioned the 400,000 people who attended your first inauguration, you'd see a huge crowd of cheering people. Thing is, you'd also be hard pressed to find one among that crowd who supports your decision to drill in the Arctic. How can you turn your back on the very people who gave birth to your power?
Money can't be enough. We all know the situation is tenuous between the terrorists, Isis, and American's need to remain as independent as possible from the rich oil-producing countries, but making huge environmental mistakes in this day and age is not a show of force, but folly.
Short term, risky goals and solutions will usher in nothing but old and new problems soon enough.
Mr. President, I'm asking, as so many, that you stand back from an earlier decision you made to allow drilling in the Arctic. I'm asking you to hear the hearts and minds of those who voted you into office, that you turn away from fear, from the what if's and what could be, and see what is. There's an urgent call from your supporters for you to stop the Shell arctic drilling that is currently in motion. You can do this.
Life as we know it and our environment are so much more important than any speculative policy decision. You have to stand up for us and do what we know is right.

He turned to me and answered, "If heterosexual men were the designers, all women would be naked."
Clothing's appeal is completely situational-a product of the mind…**(this link to a neat blog on the history of sex and fashion.)

A car ride to school is a great time to sing along to music, read a favorite book, or in the Smith sisters' case, make plans for creating Valentine's Day cards to deliver to those in the hospital or in hospice.
Three years ago, the girls' mom, Yvonne, told her daughters Rose and Lauren all about the Ronald McDonald House and the services they provide to patients and their families. Her daughters have been been delivering Valentine's Day cards and gifts to Ronald McDonald House at Stanford ever since.
This year, Almaden Country School third grader Rose Smith, with help from her family, is organizing a Valentine's Day card and gift drive right here on campus. "Rose loves helping people and takes special joy in helping those in need. I cannot be more proud of my children for their compassion and thoughtfulness," said her proud mom.
Since the early 1970's, the Ronald McDonald House has been providing services for families with children facing serious illness. Established in 1979, the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford creates a home-away-from-home and supportive community for families of children with life-threatening illnesses receiving specialized treatment at local hospitals. Previously, the facility accommodated up to 47 families; In May 2016, construction was completed on additional rooms/apartments, bringing the total capacity up to 123 family rooms -- making the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford one of the largest of the 338 Ronald McDonald Houses in the world.
Thanks to Rose's initiative, students at Almaden Country School are preparing extra Valentine's Day cards to send to the Ronald McDonald House. In addition, the Almaden Country School library hosted a card writing event on Tuesday, February 7 which is "National Send a Card to a Friend Day." Students and faculty were invited to decorate cards for families residing at Ronald McDonald House at the library on special hand-made Valentine's hearts and other dedicated stationery. Almaden Country School families are also encouraged to send small Valentine's Day gifts like pencils, erasers, hard candies, stickers, small activity kits, and so forth.
"I'm just really glad to be doing something to make another kid smile," said Rose. "The kids at the Ronald McDonald House -- their lives can be hard. They deserve to have fun!"
"Through her care and generosity of spirit, Rose is giving back to others who are not as fortunate as her," said head of school Dr. Olaf Jorgenson. "She is a living example of how one young person can make a big difference in the world around her."
All cards and gifts will be collected on Friday, February 10 by 1:30pm to be delivered the weekend preceding Valentine's Day. Thanks to the Smith family, we have this wonderful opportunity to share a little extra care to those who are far away from home.

About me
O describe myself in one sentence: " I want to ride my bicycle".
My job
I work in the public library of Malmedy, a peaceful town in the east of Belgium.
Why do I think libraries are important?
For me, library means window on the world and social inclusion. I believe in the power of books (or games and computers) but we need of a mediation (especially by us - the librarians). It's a breath of life.
My challenge
I often ride my bicycle with friends and we like to climb little mountains. My "Cycling For Libraries" challenge is different: I want to discover many ways of thinking the world and the library. So, I'm looking forward to share with you about libraries and other discussion topics...on the bike ;)

The Columbus City Council has set aside $9 million to pay for the unused sick and vacation time owed to 178 police officers and firefighters who are expected to retire next year.
The Columbus City Council has set aside $9 million to pay for the unused sick and vacation time owed to 178 police officers and firefighters who are expected to retire next year.
In a typical year, the city pays about $1 million for such costs, safety officials have said. But in 2011, the first of those who enrolled in a deferred-retirement program must retire. That's expected to mean 82 police officers and 71 firefighters, with about half of them to retire in January.
Some others who are not in the program are likely to retire, too, which is why the city is basing figures on 178.
It's impossible to predict exactly how much the city owes for their sick and vacation time, said George Speaks, a deputy director in the Department of Public Safety. The police and fire retirement systems provide numbers, but not the names of those who must retire.
Still, he said, some officers and firefighters have voluntarily told safety officials that they are among those retiring, helping take some of the guesswork out of planning for the cost. The $9 million will pay for sick, vacation and compensatory time that the employees didn't use during their careers.
It works out to an average of about $50,000 per retiree, Speaks said, but he pointed out that many of those retiring have been accruing that time throughout careers that spanned more than 33 years.
The Deferred Retirement Option Plan was created in 2003 by state legislators to retain experienced police officers and firefighters. It allows safety employees to defer their retirement for eight years.
During that time, the pension they would have earned is placed in an interest-bearing account, to be paid out when the employee eventually retires.
Those who entered the program in 2003 must retire next year.
Fire and police recruit classes of 50 each are to begin in December. Public Safety Director Mitchell J. Brown has asked Mayor Michael B. Coleman to include training for a total of 115 police officers and 80 firefighters in the 2011 budget to make up for expected retirements.
Speaks said Coleman and Brown are working together to address the retirements in the mayor's budget proposal, which is due to be submitted to the City Council on Monday. The City Council unanimously approved setting aside the $9 million from income-tax revenue tonight.
In other action, the council approved a renewed historic district for the Old Beechwold neighborhood, correcting boundaries that had been described incorrectly in 1985.
The mistake, discovered in 2008, led to a debate in the neighborhood about whether it should remain a historic district, with its homes subject to architectural-review boards that must approve exterior changes.
Council members spent more than an hour tonight listening to both sides, then approved the correctly drawn district. Council members pledged, however, to address concerns that residents raised that the city's historic-review process is unresponsive and lacks accountability.
"We're making a commitment to change the rules," said Councilwoman Priscilla Tyson, who leads the council's development committee.

Revolutionary Water Bottle
The impact that plastic water bottles have on the planet, not to mention our bodies and our wallets, is catastrophic.
Last year I discovered Sigg after hearing about an independent test conducted on the influence (or lack there of) from aluminum and the lining deposits, fell and love, and bought one for lots of friends and family. Made from a single piece of aluminum, it's ultra-lightweight yet rugged and crack-resistant. To minimize unwanted tastes and scents, the inside is lined with a water-based, non-toxic epoxy resin that exceeds FDA leaching requirements. After becoming my primary mode of transporting drinkables (great for a lemon drop on the go) I started to realize how many water bottles it had replaced, and everything that goes along with them. To put it mildly I was floored. I could literally picture the mound of disposed bottles I had avoided. Needless to say I have become an advocate for water bottle alternatives (while still avoiding main stream plastic and don't even think about Aluminum!)
Now I have a new fixation and I have yet to get my hands on one.
Introducing Kor One
A lightweight plastic bottle, featuring a sleek transparent design, and a convenient pop top with an ergonomic spout that is large enough to consume ice cubes. Kor One bottles are free of hazardous, plastic based, BPA's, which are thought to contribute to certain cancers and physical abnormalities.
For a quick synopsis on BPA's check out the article posted by Treehugger. Then place your order for your Kor here.
Update: I was sent a sample bottle and absolutely love it! Listen to the SF WineChef podcast for a listener promocode.

References to the towns and back roads of North Carolina dot the songs of Mount Moriah's new record, How to Dance. Calvander is an unincorporated town Northwest of Chapel Hill, where the subject of "Calvander" is searching "for some kind.. any kind of light." That sense of looking for beauty or meaning recurs in many of the album's songs. Frontwoman Heather McEntyre, guitarist Jenks Miller, and bassist Casey Toll come from disparate musical backgrounds (punk, metal, jazz), but together make country-leaning music. McEntyre sounds like a young Dolly Parton, while Miller gives a big helping of southern-rock guitar. Mount Moriah played three songs from their new record in the studio for opbmusic.
The band is back in Oregon to play Pickathon this summer, with sets on Saturday and Sunday, August 6-7.

Open Post: Hosted By Judge Judy And The Case Of Good Boy Baby Boy
Everybody knows that dogs are shady as fuck. My dog Professor Owen (RIP) used to pull some real cold-blooded shit on me. He had selective hearing and would ghost me at the dog park all the time. He humped legs, even worse, he once humped a young boy who was on his hands and knees playing. He stole a hot dog from a child's hand and horked it down in seconds. He somehow managed to get up on the dining room table and eat an entire pecan pie which I was planning on eating as my post Thanksgiving breakfast pie. He'd eat cat shit and then lick your face. Once he disappeared and I found him on my neighbors ROOF looking for a damn squirrel. He was a real asshole and I loved him to bits.
I would hate to see Owen put through the test that Judge Judy puts a seemingly good dog Baby Boy through, in the clip below.
At first I thought it was going to be some kind of Kramer vs. Kramer test where Baby Boy would have to choose which of his parents he wants to live with. Thankfully that's not the case. According to People:
The woman in possession of Baby Boy insists she legally bought the dog from someone selling the pet on the street. The other individual claims that he was Baby Boy's owner before this sale, and that the pup was taken from him and sold to the dog's current owner without his knowledge. He understandably wants Baby Boy back.
Baby Boy exhibited no hesitation in showing his rightful owner some love. I have to admit, I squirted out some salty eye juice (Sorry, Michael K. Oh wait, you can't read this anyway, NM) when I saw how happy Baby Boy and his papa were to be reunited. Owen would probably have waltzed into the courtroom, run right past me and over to Judy and tinkled on her robe, because that's just the kind of asshole he was. I loved that little fucker. He was a bad doggy, but he was a good boy, know what I mean?

FSSC 22000 Certification
- Overview
- Benefits of Certification
- Why Work With NSF?
- FSSC 22000 and ISO/TS 22002-4 for Packaging
- Certification Process
Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000) is a complete GFSI recognized food safety certification system for food manufacturers, based on the ISO 22000, ISO/TS 22002-1 and ISO/TS 22002-4 standards. NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR) is accredited to provide this certification under ISO/IEC 17021.
FSSC 22000 was developed to certify food safety systems of companies in the food chain that process or manufacture animal products, perishable vegetable products, products with a long shelf life and other food ingredients like additives, vitamins and bio-cultures.
Benefits of CertificationGFSI certification increases brand protection and minimizes risk. Achieving NSF certification to FSSC 22000 provides independent certification that a product or process complies with specific international standards. It enables a food supplier to give assurances that food has been produced, prepared and handled according to the most recognized standards. It also demonstrates a commitment to quality processes and continual improvement, and enables access to top retailers.
Why Work With NSF?
NSF International is the leading global certifier to GFSI benchmarked standards, with exceptional technical expertise, consistently calibrated auditors and capacity for a timely path to certification. Backed by nearly 70 years of food safety expertise and a current average of 35,000 GFSI certification audits performed annually, we enable companies around the globe to demonstrate compliance with the most recognized food safety standards in the world.
NSF companies are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI-Accredited Product Certification Body - Accreditation #1181), United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) and ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), and has a worldwide network of highly skilled and experienced auditors to help organizations of all sizes implement complex food safety solutions.
FSSC 22000 and ISO/TS 22002-4 for Packaging
To help ensure food safety at all levels of the supply chain, many food producers are now requiring their packaging suppliers to implement a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) program, and be certified to GFSI benchmarked standards such as FSSC 22000 or ISO/TS 22002-4.
Packaging and packaging material manufacturers can now certify to FSSC 20000 following the recent publication of ISO/TS 22002-4, Prerequisite programmes on food safety — Part 4: Food packaging manufacturing. If you are already certified to ISO 22000 and ISO/TS 22002-4, upgrading to FSSC 22000 certification is a simple process.
Scheme requirements focus primarily on documentation and food safety management processes to verify that food safety programs are continuously implemented as described in written procedures.
If you manufacture materials or packaging for the food industry, now is the time to talk with us about food safety certification to GFSI benchmarked standards.
Certification Process
Certification to FSSC generally takes an average of six to nine months, depending on a facility's level of readiness before undertaking GFSI. The process follows nine basic steps:
- You apply to NSF for certification.
- We identify your training needs/you receive training.
- You perform a self-assessment of compliance with the standard.
- We perform an optional pre-assessment (gap analysis).
- We perform a desk audit.
- We perform an onsite certification audit and identify corrective actions.
- Your facility addresses the corrective actions.
- We verify/approve corrective actions.
- We issue the certificate.
FSSC 22000 certification is valid for three years, but certified companies must undergo an annual surveillance audit to maintain certification.

Having the perfect office space is important!
Inspiration can be drawn from various ideas or elements.
In order to actually stop decorating or needing to redecorate to feel complete in an office space, one must go to every measure to design the office space exactly how it should be. No matter how ridiculous or over-the-top it might seem.
Of course you'll never get tired of adding more to it, that's just how a creative mind works.
In the pictures are hints of some office style inspiration for me.

Protein, when you first hear about the same, an image of the muscular body comes in front of your eyes, but my dear friend, protein is not only meant for only those who go to the gym but is required by each and every individual who wants to stay healthy and strong.
Are you taking enough of it?
If not, don't worry, today you will learn in detail about protein, its importance and rich sources.
What Is Protein?
The term 'protein' refers to a type of molecule in food that can be separated down into amino acids.
- The human body requires twenty amino acids – as a biological machine it can create (or synthesize) eleven of these itself. Nevertheless, there are nine, called 'essential amino acids' that the body cannot produce and has to gain through the consumption of food.
- These 'essential amino acids' are Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Valine and Histidine.
- When you consume food, the body breaks down the protein in food to create the amino acids that it needs.
What Is The Importance Of Protein In Your Diet?
Why do you think one should care about getting an adequate amount of protein? Let's have a look at the role of protein in the body –
- It gives the exact structure for muscles, hair, and blood.
- Repairs worn-out body tissue & proteins resulting in general "wear and tear" of the body.
- Contributes to an emergency source of energy when there is not enough carbohydrate or fat in your diet.
- Helps transport essential nutrients like iron and cholesterol around your body.
- Enhances your immune system.
- Builds cardiac (heart) muscle, contributes to many essential body secretions such as hormones and enzymes.
- Can help with weight loss as protein is very satiating and by eating protein at the same time as carbohydrates, you slow down the spike in glucose and insulin that comes after eating carbohydrates on their own.
What Are The Different Types Of Proteins?
Protein is basically classified into 2 types which are commonly known as good quality and poor quality of protein, I am sure you must be wondering why I am talking about quality here? You can read yourself in below lines –
Complete Protein
!st type of protein is a complete protein and it is called so because it has all 9 essential amino acids which are required for muscle building and protein utilization in the body.
It is also known as first-class proteins which gives all nine essential acids that your bodies can't create itself. The top sources of 1st class proteins include animal products like meat, poultry, and seafood. Few examples include steak, turkey and also salmon fish.
Other animal products, like eggs and low-fat dairy, are also good sources of complete protein. But, one thing you have to remember is that some high-protein foods may also be large in saturated fat.
Steak, for instance, has 40 grams of protein but 12 grams of saturated fat. To eat more nutritious complete proteins, the Indian Department of Agriculture recommends selecting lean or low-fat meat and poultry.
You can also consume seafood two times in a week to increase protein along with good fats. Using healthy cooking methods such as roasting and broiling will avoid the addition of extra fats.
Incomplete Protein
They are also called as second-class proteins. Incomplete proteins lack one or number of essential amino acids. Almost all plant proteins are known as incomplete proteins.
Beans, seeds, nuts, peas, soy products and few grains are plant proteins. Examples of beans and peas are white beans, chickpeas, hummus and also the green peas. Seeds and nuts include foods such as almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds.
Indian studies suggest consuming unsalted nuts and seeds to avoid extra sodium. Few examples of soy products are tofu, tempeh and soy milk. Quinoa, a seed that's consumed as a grain, is an exceptionally rich source of protein.
If you don't consume animal products, it's important to eat many different types of plant proteins to get adequate essential amino acids.
A small tip is you can combine carbohydrate and second class protein also at times to convert the same into complete protein and the best example for the same is rice and dal combination.
Hence always remember to add a source of protein with your each and every meal to make it wholesome and complete.
Now after discussing the type of protein let me take you to the best form of protein which is very rich in protein and pure form which is Whey protein.
Whey protein is basically of 3 different types – whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and whey protein hydrosylate. All these 3 types of whey protein are complete proteins and very high in protein content.
But out of these three whey protein isolate is the one with maximum protein absorption and only 2-5% of fat. Below are a few food sources via which you can get this protein.
What Are The Sources Of Whey Protein Isolate?
Generally, a whey protein isolate is obtained from milk and serves as a source of complete protein, which means it gives all the essential amino acids. Whey digests very fastly, unlike the other component of milk, called as casein protein.
A natural by-product of the cheese-making method, whey protein isolate can be concentrated and isolated from the other elements in milk and then used to make powder supplements.
Protein powders prepared from whey protein isolate have become the number one selling bodybuilding supplement because of whey's capability to supplement an exercise program to support healthy muscle tissue.
Many dairy products also organically contain whey protein isolate, so consuming dairy also boosts your whey intake.
Ricotta Cheese
Ricotta cheese generally contains the most whey protein isolate of any whole food because it is made from whey protein.
It includes the less amount of fat and at the same time contain about 28 grams of whey protein isolate per cup.
Ricotta cheese is prepared from concentrate whey protein and also whey protein isolate, which is a waste product from processing dairy milk. Ricotta cheese could be exchanged for the protein drinks either in desserts or shakes.
Ricotta cheese is one among the food source with the most plentiful source of whey protein isolate.
It is contemplated nature's perfect growth-inducing protein, milk consists of both slow-digesting casein and fast-digesting whey protein isolate. In pure cow's milk, this ratio tips way toward the casein protein content, matching up to 80 percent.
Which means that 20 percent of cow's milk obtains from whey protein isolate. Milk, nevertheless, contains a large amount of lactose and may cause allergic responses or gastrointestinal distress in some individuals.
Goat milk consists of proteins that digest more readily in the human body since casein digests steadily, you acquire all the protein contained in both the casein part and also the whey protein isolate part.
Yogurt also organically contains some whey protein isolate because it comes from milk. It is is another best choice for adding to your diet.
In addition, yogurt consists of probiotics or natural bacterial flora, which line the intestines and play a role in total health and digestion.
For dieters, probiotics assist with weight loss because they naturally alter how much fat the body can absorb during digestion.
Choose plain and fat-free yogurt, which consists 13g of protein per cup. Join yogurt to fruit smoothies granola, fresh fruit or other healthful snacks.
Greek yogurt — prepared by straining yogurt to exclude excess water — gives more protein, and therefore more whey protein isolate.
The protein content of Greek yogurt differs by brand but can be up to 18 grams per cup.
Most of the milk and also milk products would contain a particular amount of whey proteins, and when had them meticulously by including into your diet, you would get a right amount of whey protein isolate that would assist your body muscles to a greater extent.
All cheeses generally contain some whey protein isolate due to the processing of dairy milk. Sweet whey protein isolate comes from the process that prepares cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, swiss and other cheeses made with rennet enzymes that coagulate casein.
The yellowish colored liquid that you see floating on the peak level of cottage cheese is the whey protein that got separated during the procedure of curdling.
Similarly, remaining all other kinds of cheese also have particular amounts of whey protein and cheese could be incorporated merely into your food on a daily basis.
What Is The Relationship Between Whey Protein Isolate And Digestive System?
Many people think that whey protein isolate may cause digestion problems, but the truth is whey protein isolate doesn't cause any type of digestion issues.
Below you can know the actual causes and symptoms of digestion problems.
The first sign of problems in the digestive tract often includes one or more of the following symptoms:
- Bleeding
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Heartburn
- Incontinence
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain in the belly
- Swallowing problems
- Weight gain or loss
After looking at the symptoms lot of people will think that these symptoms are caused by consuming whey protein isolate but it is not true.
Whey protein isolate is not at all involved in the causes of digestion issues as you have to know that an unhealthy lifestyle and improper diet will cause all these below causes.
- Food allergies and food intolerance
- Poor diet
- Viral or bacterial infection
- Inflammation and auto-immune diseases
- Structural Causes
- Genetic causes
- Lifestyle choices
- Medication side effects
- Cancer
- Post-surgical effects
- Functional problems
- Ageing
- Systemic diseases.
What Are The Foods To Include In The Diet For Maintaining Healthy Digestion?
Protein-rich foods and fibre rich foods should be included in your regular diet along with whey protein isolate to improve your digestive system.
Protein Rich Foods
- Seafood
- White-Meat
- Poultry Milk
- Cheese
- Yoghurt
- Eggs
- Beans
- Tenderloin
- Soy
- Lean Beef
- Quinoa
- Fox Nuts
- Pulses and Dals
- Soy Products
Fibre Rich Foods
Wholegrain breakfast cereals, wholewheat pasta, wholegrain bread and oats, barley and rye.
- Fruit such as berries, pears, melon and oranges.
- Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots and sweetcorn.
- Peas, beans and pulses.
- Nuts and seeds.
- Potatoes with skin.
- Chia Seeds
- Whole pulses and grains
Who All Can Take Whey Protein Isolate?
As discussed above, protein is very much essential for each and every individual who wants a good and healthy body, So it can be a 1-year-old kid or a 90-year-old adult.
Importance of protein is mentioned in each and every place right from your school books to surfing pages and yes it is also important for pregnant women, feeding mom, infants and children.
Protein plays a big role in the early recovery of elderly people from arthritis and other muscle related issues.
Now just imagine if protein weighs such an importance, whey protein isolate is a pure form of protein, how much benefit it can give?
But whey protein isolate is always mistaken by people thinking that whey protein is not for everyone but only for people going to the gym or doing exercise.
But one has to understand that 1gm/kg body weight is the minimum requirement of protein for each and every individual including kids.
As far as getting protein through diet is concerned one can only meet 50% of the daily requirement and hence for remaining 50% each one of us can choose whey protein as an alternative even without going to gym or exercise.
When you go to the gym or exercise the protein requirement increases by 1/3rd.
Since whey protein isolate is a very pure form of protein, as a healthcare professional I recommend the same for everyone above 14 years of age. One should try to meet the protein requirement by eating a healthy diet or choose the protein powder made from peanut or soy.
Whey Protein Isolate Should Not Be Taken By Whom?
INLIFE Whey protein isolate contains 27gm of protein in 33 gm of powder, In normal conditions, we do require such high protein but there are few conditions where we need to restrict protein or if not protein then artificial sweetener or artificial flavours.
Below are those conditions and age group who should be avoiding Whey protein isolate and if needed should only be taken with consent to their healthcare professional –
- Infant
- Toddlers
- Kids below 14 years
- Hypo and Hyperthyroid
- Diabetes with kidney complications
- High Serum Creatine Levels
- Gout (High Uric Acid Levels)
- People who are Allergic to Whey protein
- Other Special condition which has protein restrictions
What Is The Maximum Dosage Protein Intake?
1 gm per kg body weight should be the dosage of protein for a healthy person, People who are doing rigorous workouts and going to gym needs minimum 1.2 – 2 gm per kg body weight of protein per day.
One should not exceed the above limits of protein consumption as it can further lead to kidney or high uric acid conditions which can be fatal. Always consider the advice of your healthcare professional before going above 2gm per kg body weight of protein.
Now when it comes to the dosage of INLIFE Whey Protein Isolate it should be 1- 2 scoops (Each scoop is 33gm) for a healthy individual depending upon their daily protein intake via diet.
For people doing heavy workouts and exercise, it should be 3 scoops per day but should not be exceeding beyond 3.
I am sure after reading the above information you must have changed your perspective towards Whey protein isolate supplement and the importance of protein. So what are you waiting for, comment and let me know about your idea of protein and its supplements.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a planning methodology for designing and documenting buildings over their entire life cycle.
Using a consistent, digital building model, BIM can improve the exchange of information between all parties involved in the planning process, so objectives can be achieved quicker and with more accuracy than ever before.
In addition to customary 2D drawings, WÖHR Autoparksysteme GmbH has been providing BIM-enabled, scalable 3D models of its parking systems which can be downloaded and integrated directly into the planning process.
The impetus came from countries such as Norway, the Netherlands and Great Britain, where BIM is already an integral part of all planning activities. In Germany, our clients are requesting more modern and advanced planning tools. WÖHR Autoparksysteme GmbH have responded providing BIM – a solution which allows architects and planners to insert a parking system into a 3D building model at the touch of a button - a major step into the digital future.
In early 2018, WÖHR, in collaboration with DREICAD, launched a joint pilot project whereby DREICAD converted WÖHR data into BIM-capable REVIT data. This means that our most popular mechanical and semi-automatic parking systems - the Parklifts 450 and 405, as well as the Combilifts 551, 552, 542 and 543 can now be downloaded from the WÖHR website for use by our Architects.
Architects who embrace this resource have the power and flexibility to build a model and come up with a solution that will fit their client's specific requirements. In short, BIM can provide a plethora of configurations accommodating the needs of every client. The Parklift 450 alone for example, can be configured in 188 different ways! The benefit is that the model is fully scalable without entering any additional data. It also contains a vehicle profile for performing collision checks and planners can view the parking system's technical data immediately in the BIM model.
BIM has many other benefits – for example, data is constantly expanded and updated throughout the project life cycle providing more accuracy and efficiency for revisions, calculations and collision checks. Data sharing is also improved with Specialists now able to access and utilize the information that their project partners have already gathered. This removes the need to re-enter or duplicate data but has the added advantage of reducing the possibility of manual errors during data entry. The data is handled within a central building model which means all parties in the project can make informed decisions on the basis of the same, sound data.
By implementing BIM, WÖHR has taken a major step into the future.

The other day I was thinking about the movie The Lion King.
I have no clue why I was thinking about it. I don't even like the movie. I thought it was okay when it first came out, then they came out with 2 or 3 other sequels and I was wondering if they would ever stop making them.
I wonder if the sales of Elton John tickets went up when the movie came out? I don't remember ever hearing about him before The Lion King. I know he was around and pretty famous but I had never heard of him.
So then I was wondering how many little kids went to Elton John concerts because they liked The Lion King. I wonder how many CD's he sold, and if he won the hearts of any adults from his amazing sound track.
Then I realized how random and dumb my thoughts can be, and now I am wondering why I am sharing all this with you?!

Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, a tertiary medical institution in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, reported a measles outbreak to the health authorities and the local government.
Most of the patients are employees of the hospital, but the hospital has yet to find the origin of the infection during the past eight days.
The provincial administration said that 25 patients, including 21 workers of the hospital, were confirmed with measles infection, and health officials were checking more than 4,300 people who contacted the patients. Measles spread from person to person through direct contact with discharge from the nose or throat.
Out of the 25 patients, 14 were ordered to stay at home, one was hospitalized, and 10 were released from quarantine.
The 21 hospital employees include four physicians, 14 nurses, one pharmacist, one medical technician, one employee, one caregiver, and one medical student.
The health authorities are actively monitoring 1,734 out of the 4,349 people who contacted the 25 patients, calling them twice a day to check they have any symptoms. The officials also noted the rest 2,615 people, who were more distant to the patients, to report any symptom.
According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), the Sacred Heart Hospital conducted antibody tests on over 1,800 workers immediately after learning the outbreak of measles and found a confirmed case.
A KCDC official said the Gyeonggi Province was conducting an epidemiological study on the hospital.
"Three epidemiological investigators are carrying out the study. They are the ones who did a similar study when measles broke in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, in January," he said.
The KCDC was putting priority in checking people who had contact with the patients because some of them could be confirmed with measles from this week. "Health officials from Gyeonggi Province are doing the best they can," he added.
In Daejeon on Sunday, a pediatric specialty hospital reported five cases of measles.
The first confirmed patient was a seven-month-old girl who had visited Vietnam with her Vietnamese mother. Travelers are advised to get measles vaccinations before entering Vietnam.
The four other children, who were confirmed with measles after being hospitalized in the same room with the baby girl, were aged from nine months to three years old. Except for the three-year-old child, the three were not old enough to get the first vaccination for measles.

Friday I was fortunate to be invited onto WNPR's Faith Middleton show, one of New England's most popular radio shows, to talk about all things craft beer. While on-air folks like Garrett Oliver and Sam Caglione called in while we sampled some fine beers from around the country. In NPR style the show is now online in mp3 format for stream and download listening. To hear it, check out this link.
It was a great time and I was honored to be part of the hour-long show.
