Play Geeky Pranks on Your Friends With These 7 Web Apps
Nearly every aspect of our lives has been affected by the digital age. But when it comes to pranks, most of us are still pulling the same old pranks. But you don't have to anymore.
There is a range of websites which open a whole new can of practical jokes. Here are the best web apps to pull tech pranks on your friends.
Disclaimer: The effectiveness of these web apps will depend on how adept are you at keeping a straight poker face.
1. Fake an Update
Everyone hates staring helplessly at a software update screen, especially in the middle of a day. Update Faker lets you hatch a prank out of that exact situation. All you need to do is wait for that window when your friend leaves their computer unattended.
Update Faker can replicate update animations of four operating systems including Windows 10, macOS, Windows XP, and Windows 98. When you hit play, Update Faker will transform the browser tab into an update screen. It even shows a progress bar and in case the person at the receiving end presses Enter, Update Faker will load the blue screen of death.
Since Update Faker automatically disables keyboard or mouse input, you can switch on the browser's full-screen mode to remove clues that it's a prank. The only way to exit the screen is by pressing the full-screen shortcut or hovering the cursor over the taskbar at the bottom.
If you want further options or need update screens for other operating systems like Windows 7, you can also try FakeUpdate.net.

2. FaceTime With Celebrities
FlexTime is possibly the most effortless method to freak your friends out. On FlexTime, you can simulate FaceTime calls of you video-chatting with a celebrity.
The caller window of the layout is the real-time stream of you from the phone's front-facing camera. But the rest of the space is filled with the personality's story from their social media accounts. FlexTime has a wide collection of celebrity clips in its catalog such as Robert Downey Jr, Cardi B, and Kim Kardashian. Choose the one your friend fantasizes meeting the most and you're good to go.
You can share these by either taking a screenshot or screen-recording the web app since FlexTime has also included the stories' audio. For the prank, of course, you will have to come up with a plot on how you managed to call a celebrity but for everything else, FlexTime has you covered.
FlexTime exists as an app called Monkey if you'd like more options and social features.

You can feed in your personal details like the origin city and name, and the app will instantly produce the custom ticket for free. You can download the result in JPG and PNG formats.

4. Fool Your Friends Into Thinking You're a Hacker
You don't have to hijack someone's computer to prank them. You can use your own too. A website by the name of Geektyper can fool your friends into thinking you're a hacker.
Similar to Update Faker, you can go full-screen with one of the several geeky screens Geektyper offers. The website has a number of options such as the SHIELD dashboard from the Marvel movies, and the desktop setup from the Mr.Robot TV show.
Interestingly, these aren't simply static pages either. So you can hastily type anything on your keyboard to pretend like you're actually busy and Geektyper will enter a random piece of code on the screen. In addition, you can even click the folder icons to reveal more windows.

5. Create Fake Chats
In today's generation, chat screenshots are powerful enough to destroy relationships and win arguments. But what if you could extend their influence to your pranks?
To do that, you will need to create fake chats. Fortunately, there are a bunch of websites where you can quickly forge them. Web apps like iFakeTextMessage and FakeChatApp can produce personalized mockups of iMessage, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp.
iFakeTextMessage is solely for iMessage. Apart from the messages, it lets you edit the battery level at the top, connection name, time, and much more. On top of that, you have the choice to change the text bubble's color. So if your friend is an iPhone user, you can keep it blue and otherwise, green for depicting SMS.
FakeChatApp is a bit advanced and works for two platforms—Facebook Messenger andWhatsApp. Here, you'll find a bunch of minute features which will help you build an elaborate prank. For starters, you can add images or GIFs and choose between a mobile and tablet layout. Plus, the profile picture can be altered and if you're on Facebook Messenger, you can insert the iconic blue thumbs up.
Visit: iFakeTextMessage
Visit: FakeChatApp
6. Send Your Friend a Website That Never Loads
You probably exchange memes and video links with your friends constantly. But next time, how about sending them a site that never loads?
When the person opens a website called Photricity in their browser, all they'll see are a couple of ads like any regular site and a progress bar with the title "Loading the site". When the bar fills up, the app will simply replace it with a circular animation. Irrespective of how quick their connection is, Photricity will show the loading sign till eternity until they get fed up and close the tab.
Visit: Photricity
7. Spam Your Friend's Phone With Prank Texts
You often buy electronics or grocery on the internet. But for as little as a dollar, you can flood your friend's phone with tens of anonymous spam texts online. BlowUpThePhone is a service where you can schedule a stream of random SMS messages for pranking someone.
The website asks for your friend's cell number and a small fee depending on the number of texts you'd like to send. It charges 6¢ per SMS and a 50¢ processing fee. To terminate the deluge, the person will have to text back STOP or opt-out by heading over to BlowUpThePhone.
At the time of writing, BlowUpThePhone was only available in the United States.

Where is Croatian spoken?
Croatian is not only spoken in Croatia, but also in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Hungary, and in the Burgenland region of Austria by approximately seven million people. These circumstances inevitably give rise to different variations of the Croatian language. These dialects can be divided into three major groups: Kaikavian, Chakavian, and Shtokavian. Croatian is a so-called tonal language. Word meanings become clear by stressing syllables differently. Its basic vocabulary consists of words derived from Slavic origins.

When the McRae family moved into Hycroft in the summer of 1911 it quickly became the centre of the social scene in Vancouver. The parties held at Hycroft were legendary, especially the New Year's Eve masquerade balls. The guest book at Hycroft read like a who's who of the 20's and 30's; it contained names of visiting royalty, well known business associates, politicians and the social elite of Vancouver. It was said to be an honour and a delight to be invited to Hycroft.
In 1942, the McRaes gave Hycroft to the Federal Government for one dollar. Mrs. McRae died soon after and Senator McRae died in Ottawa four years later. The house was used by the Federal Department of Veteran's Affairs as a convalescent hospital for war veterans until 1960.
In 1962 the five-acre property originally owned by the McRaes was subdivided and the stables were demolished. This made it possible for the University Women's Club of Vancouver to purchase part of the estate, a transaction that took two years to complete. The UWCVs restoration of Hycroft resulted in an award of merit in 1974 from the Vancouver Historical Society for the historical and architectural preservation work they had done, and a Heritage Award from the City of Vancouver in 1994 for their continued maintenance of the house.
Today, the Club members are the stewards of Hycroft and the surrounding property. The public are invited into the Club house for events held throughout the year, and the UWCV welcomes their support through The Hycroft Heritage Preservation Foundation.
Hycroft stands on McRae Avenue, named in recognition of its great former owner.

Midwives using torches to deliver mothers at Soroti health centre
Tuesday May 8 2018
Medical workers and patient caretakers at Kamuda Health Centre III in Soroti District are struggling to attend to patients in the night following the breakdown of the facility's solar system.
The health centre, which serves more than 28,000 people with 45 deliveries every month, has since August last year been operating without power, forcing staff to improvise with phones or torches when attending to patients.
According to one of the health workers, who speaks on condition of anonymity because he is not the official spokesperson, the absence of proper lighting at the health unit makes it hard for us to administer treatment.
"To enable us perform well, every patient is now expected to buy a torch or have a phone that can improvise light," the worker says, adding that they have tried to put the matter before their superiors to no avail.
The health workers say the situation at the maternity ward is worse because for every safe delivery to be achieved, total care must be undertaken with sufficient lighting.
"Our prayer is if at least the situation at the maternity ward can be fixed first, the better," one medical officer appeals.
The area sub-county chairperson, Mr Daniel Eigu, says the problem has persisted for a long time and there seems to be no solution at hand to address it. He adds that recently, some solar batteries were fixed but they worked for less than two days and broke down again. "It is our appeal to the district to try to rectify the matter at hand, because we cannot continue to run a health unit in total darkness. This is risky for patients, especially mothers in labour," Mr Eigu says.
Besides the power crisis, he says the health unit has only one midwife, who sometimes has more than five deliveries to attend to at ago.
"As a sub-county, we are in a crisis; we have put this matter before the district. We pray it is given the attention it deserves," he adds.

Mr Calvin Elenyu, the district health secretary, says a meeting will sit on Saturday to address the issue.
"The issue has been brought to the attention of the District Health Officer (DHO) and we hope it will be addressed very soon," he says, adding that Asuret Health Centre III also has a similar challenge.
Meanwhile, Buwenge Health Centre III in Jinja District, which handles about 80 patients daily, has been operating with one pit latrine for a year.
Dr Grace Meregulwa, a doctor at the facility, says there is only one pit latrine serving the Outpatient Department (OPD) following the closure of the main latrine.
The assistant medical superintendent, Mr Stephen Baligeya, says as a result, patients from other wards walk more than 60 metres to access the alternative latrine.
Mr Baligeya says the old pit latrine was closed because it was emitting a foul smell.
Now, former district vice chairman Moses Batwala has threatened to mobilise residents for a demonstration if nothing is done over the matter by mid this month.
No help
"We have written to all concerned parties over the matter and if they fail to heed, we shall mobilise residents to demonstrate against the poor conditions at the health centre," Mr Batwala said on Saturday.
However, the District Health Officer, Mr Samuel Diogo, says he is not aware of the problem at the centre and wonders why the in-charge had not communicated to the authorities.
The Buwenge Town Council health inspector, Mr Erisa Mingwa, describes situation at the health centre as unacceptable.
The Mayor, Mr Hassan Kinosa, says the health centre management committee has not communicated to them the challenge.
"The town council is responsible for health centre IIIs; so unless we get official communication from management, we cannot intervene," Mr Kinosa says.
A 2015 Auditor General report revealed that most health centres in Jinja District did not meet basic minimum standards. The findings further revealed that Buwenge Health Centre IV had no budget for medicines and non-wage activities and lacked a medical pit.

The quality of a good or service to satisfy human want is called utility. It has no physical existence. It is concerned with the consumer mind and is a relative concept. Utility cannot be measured as weight or height. It is merely estimated for expressing satisfaction. Utility differs from person to person. For example, pizza satisfies person A want therefore pizza has utility for A but at the same time pizza has no utility for B because B does not like eating pizza.
Utility has the following kinds.
Marginal utility: It is derived from the additional unit of consumption.
Total utility: It is sum of marginal utilities.
Average utility: It is division of total utility by consumption of total units.
Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility
The law of diminishing marginal utility states the additional utility of a commodity decreases as its consumption increases, while other things remain the same. It means every additional unit that is consumed has a lower marginal utility than the unit before consumed. At a certain point the marginal utility can even become negative. The explanation of the law is given below.
Suppose, you are very thirsty. You go the market and buy one bottle of water. The first glass of water will be a great satisfaction for you. The second glass of water will give you less satisfaction than the first one, and the third one less than the second one and so on. If you are not ready to drink fifth glass of water, and you drink, thus the utility of the fifth glass will be zero. It is the position of maximum satisfaction. If you take sixth glass of water, the marginal utility will become negative. The law of diminishing marginal utility can be further illustrated with the help of schedule and diagram.
We can see from the above schedule that marginal utility keeps on diminishing with every additional glass of water. The consumer gets 12 units of utility from first glass of water. When he drinks second glass of water, his marginal utility goes down to 9 units, and it continuously diminishing by taking further glass of water. This process showing the law of diminishing marginal utility.
In the above diagram, units of utility are measured on y-axis and units of commodity are measured on x-axis. MU is the marginal utility curve. The marginal utility of fifth consumption of a commodity (glass of water) is zero which is satiety point. While the marginal utility of sixth glass of water is negative which is (-3). We can see that MU curve is sloping downward at the consumption of every glass of water. The downward slop of the MU curve is representing the law of diminishing marginal utility.
Law of increasing returns
Law of demand
Also read:
Exceptions or Limitations
There are some factors on which the law of diminishing marginal utility does not apply. They include:
- Desire for money: The law is not applicable to money because generally when a person gets more money he gets more satisfaction and pleasure. So, the marginal utility of money does not become zero.
- Collection of rare goods: The law is not applicable in case of rare objects because when a person collects rare objects like paintings, old coins, postage stamps, jewels or diamonds, he gets more utility.
- Use of intoxicants: The law will not be effective in case of using intoxicants like alcohol, opium, or drug.
Assumptions or Conditions
Following are the assumptions of the law:
- All units of a commodity must be same in quality and quantity.
- 2. There should be continuity in consumption of the commodity. If the interval between units of consumption is too long, the law will not work.
- 3. There should be no change in taste, habit, fashion, and income of the consumer.
- 4. Units of commodity must be of suitable size. For instance, giving water to a thirsty person by spoon will increase instead of diminishing utility of the subsequent spoon of water.
- 5. There should be no change in price of the good and its substitute.

To Dunbar linebacker Shaun Tolbert, the Poets are more like family than a football team, and that's been critical to their drive for a state title.
After losing in the state semifinals last season, the veterans bonded with a lot of newcomers from an undefeated junior varsity team during the summer, setting their sites on playing for the Class 1A title Dec. 2 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. That's the goal every year in a Dunbar program with nine state titles and more playoff wins than any other team in state tournament history.
The Poets know that playing as a unit is the best way to make that happen. The word "family" comes up in almost every conversation about this team.
"We got close over the summer, doing activities outside of football. We'd go to the movies or go bowling, Dave & Buster's, that kind of stuff," said Tolbert, a senior. "After that game [the 12-7 semifinal loss to eventual champion Walkersville], it made everybody just want to go harder. We got that close and we came up short. All the juniors last year, we came together after and said, 'We've got to go all the way this year and end it with a bang.' "
Overlea football forfeits playoff win; Lewis to meet Dunbar in Class 1A North final
Overlea's football team had to forfeit its regional semifinal victory for using an ineligible player, so Reginald Lewis will advance to play Dunbar in the Class 1A North final Friday night.
The No. 7 Poets (9-1) will meet Reginald Lewis (11-0) at Mervo on Friday at 6 p.m. for the Class 1A North region championship and the chance to move on to the state semifinals. The Falcons, whose loss to Overlea last week was overturned because Overlea used an ineligible player, are aiming for their first regional title while Dunbar goes for its 19th.
Coach Lawrence Smith said this team has the feel of the Dunbar teams that won seven state championships between 2004 and 2012. No one puts himself before the team.
"This team pushes each other just like the championship teams of the past," Smith said. "They like each other. A lot of these guys are friends. They go out together, things like that, and that's a big deal when you're talking about these type of teams. I had a good feeling about this team during the summer and I just felt that's what it was."
One of the keys to putting this team together has been a nearly new offensive line of all juniors. The lone varsity veteran, Travis Johnson, joined Domenic Smith, Mark Missouri, Bakari Mack and Justyn Harris, all up from JV, to continue a Dunbar tradition of big, tough offensive lines.
Mack said it was an easy transition for the five to mesh into the starting unit.
Being friends "definitely helps," Mack said. "We trust each other more. We know what we're capable of as a group, as a unit. It helps us to perform on the field. It was easy for us to come together. It's a family atmosphere, a lot of great guys on this team. It's a fun group."
To junior running back Andre Brandon, their play has been just what he and senior running back Alfonzo Graham need in front of them.
"They handle the job pretty well. I can't do nothing without them," Brandon said.
"I knew they weren't bad at all, but I thought it was going to take a little while for them to click," senior quarterback Jared Lewis said, "but as soon as they stepped out there, first game, it looked like they'd been there for years. We were able to execute on offense every game so far, putting up like 40 points a game."
Brandon and Graham make a steady one-two punch as they've run for almost the same amount of yardage. Brandon has gained 845 yards on 98 carries with seven touchdowns while Graham has rushed for 825 yards on 71 carries with 12 touchdowns. In the 48-0 win over Chesapeake-BC in last week's regional opener, they both carried the ball seven times. Brandon scored twice and Graham once. Junior Demond Jackson also ran for a touchdown.
Lewis, one of the area's top quarterbacks, has also been a steady force with the line giving him time to throw for 2,536 yards and 22 touchdowns. Against Chesapeake, he was 14-for-19 for 313 yards with three touchdown passes to senior Ryan Wood and juniors Raekwon Walker and Malik McCormack.
In September, the Poets stumbled out of the block, dropping their season opener to Allegany in Cumberland, a game in which Smith said the defense didn't show up. They rebounded the next week with a road win at Potomac and then ran the table in Baltimore City's Division I.
M&T Bank Stadium no longer the permanent venue for Turkey Bowl, City-Poly football games
The Turkey Bowl and City-Poly football games will no longer be fixtures at M&T Bank Stadium because of the grass field.
Since that first game, the Poets have allowed just nine points per game. In addition to Tolbert's team leading 54 tackles, junior defensive back Doshon Davis has 52. Senior lineman Dwayne Johnson has 10 sacks.
After the Poets beat defending division champion Mervo, 38-13, for the first time in four years in September, Mervo coach Patrick Nixon said he saw a difference in the Poets.
"One thing about this Dunbar team, they're hungry," Nixon said after that game. "They don't have the big-name stars, but this is a group that won back-to-back JV championships and they play well together. They've had some level of success over the last few years, but not the level of success they're used to having and I think that's caused this team right here to be a little hungry. I think a lot of people counted them out early and I think they took that personally."
Lewis agreed.
"Last year was a little bit heartbreaking," he said. "We were underdogs all the way through the playoffs, but we got that far, but this year we came out after our first game and won nine games in a row. People were sleeping on us last year, and I think they were a little bit this year. Right now, I'm not saying we're top dogs, but we're not underdogs. Everybody is coming for us."

Senator Art Eggleton:
You said that you compared yourself as being quite similar to the current occupant of the position, Mr. Fréchette. How would you compare your style to Kevin Page? Mr. Page was in the position longer than anybody and, I think, defined the position in many respects, so we could better judge your answer on that basis.
Mr. Yves Giroux: Thank you for that interesting question that I was hoping nobody would ask me.
It's a bit difficult to presuppose how I will compare to Kevin Page or Mr. Fréchette. They are and were in very different positions than I will be if you approve my appointment.
Mr. Page had to establish the office. He had to establish the credibility of the office at a time when departments were not aware and probably not welcoming the office and were certainly not ready and willing to provide information.
The legislative mandate was different. I would say it was weaker or more limited, to be more precise, so it's a very different environment in which Mr. Page operated.
With regard to Mr. Fréchette, he was also in a different position. I think he inherited an office that was quite strong, that had established its credentials, but that was still not an agent of Parliament. So it's difficult to say whether I'd be different, similar or identical to Mr. Page. The one obvious parallel is that we're both bald, but aside from that it's difficult for me at this time to say whether I'd be exactly like Mr. Page or very different from him.
What can I assure you is that I will strive to deliver on the mandate that is set out in legislation and provide you and your colleagues in the other chamber the information that you need to make enlightened decisions and deliberations.
Senator Eggleton: Fair enough.
You're an economist, and it seems like a logical kind of person to have in this position. At the same time, in dealing with all of the budget figures, social issues become part of it and I'm quite interested in how you might approach them.
I do recall Mr. Page once saying to me that people that are fighting poverty are doing God's work. That doesn't mean he was going to change the facts and figures with respect to the social issues, but I'd be interested to know how you feel about dealing with social issues.
I realize that you have to be requested to do these studies. In fact, under Mr. Fréchette's guidance, there was a recent study done on guaranteed annual income, which produced a very good paper. I am wondering how you feel about dealing with social issues.
Mr. Giroux: I feel very comfortable dealing with social issues. I have worked at Finance for six years dealing with social policy issues, and a good part of my time at PCO was spent dealing with social issues.
At PCO, the Privy Council Office, it was Heritage Canada, which is very social by its nature, as well as Citizenship and Immigration. When I was at Finance for six years, it was the broad social policy universe: justice, public safety, poverty, students, and really everything that was for seniors.
I've learned that it is sometimes difficult to put dollar figures on government proposals or on social policy problems, but it's always possible to find ways to measure what needs to be addressed. There are a lot of data sources in this country about social policy issues, and I don't feel uncomfortable at all dealing with these issues. It's very interesting, and I think it's at the root of many problems that we are experiencing in the country. So it's very interesting, and I feel totally comfortable dealing with social issues.

We all know that reading regularly can boost your vocabulary, your world awareness and improves your attention and focus skills, but that's probably not a good enough reason for your children or teenagers to pick up a good book. Here are some reasons you can use to encourage young people to read that you might not have thought of before.
- Reading can build your self-esteem
From infancy through to adulthood, being read to or reading ourselves allows us to learn about the world. The more that we learn, the greater our knowledge about a particular area becomes, people may come to you for answers about that topic and this can boost your self-esteem.
- Reading can help reduce stress
Taking time out and reading a favourite book rather than watching TV or playing a game can help organize your thoughts, allow you to focus and attend to something other than the source of your stress. Think about the comfort of reading to a child at bedtime to help relax, focus their attention and put the energy of the day behind them. This effect can be the same for all of us!
- Reading can help you earn more and become successful
This one's for the teenagers looking for financial freedom: if you focus your reading on a particular area and develop your expertise, then you become more marketable and can demand a higher salary! It's simple supply and demand.
- Reading can save you time
It can feel like something done to pass by time on a tedious long journey, but literature is actually an ultimate time-saver — because it gives us access to a range of emotions and events that would usually take you years, decades, millennia to experience directly. Literature is the greatest reality simulator — a machine that puts you through infinitely more situations than you can ever directly witness. It helps that your imagination is stimulated, forcing you to create as you read.
- Reading can change your life
Certain books can have a 'life affirming' effect on an individual which may encourage them to make life changing decisions, such as pursuing a new career, moving to a new country or starting or ending a relationship. It can help people manage their depression, help reduce feelings of isolation and 'I'm the only one'.
1) Start early ! These books are suitable from 6months onwards

The North Dakota senate seat currently held by Democrat Senator Heidi Heitkamp is one of the targeted seats Republicans are looking to take in the 2018 mid-terms. To flip the seat the White House helped convince Republican Kevin Cramer to challenge Heitkamp.
With the North Dakota election considered a 'toss up', between Heitkamp and challenger Cramer; and with election outcome looking positive toward republicans; the UniParty quickly jumps into action.
Notorious UniParty control agents David and Charles Koch, aka 'The Koch Brothers', now begin spending money to help Heitkamp retain her seat.
Washington (CNN) – Americans for Prosperity, a Koch brothers-backed political advocacy group, is running a digital ad thanking a vulnerable Democratic senator for her support of bank deregulation legislation ahead of the midterm elections.
The ad, which launched Friday, thanks North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, who is fighting to hold onto her seat in a state that Trump carried by 36 points in 2016, for cosponsoring a rollback of some Dodd-Frank Act regulations. "Thank you, Sen. Heitkamp for giving main street relief," the ad reads. The ad campaign was previously reported by CNBC. (more)
The Koch Brothers are notorious for pushing almost identical points of advocacy as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce including support for amnesty/dreamer/DACA legislation, and opposition for any renegotiated trade deals that benefit U.S. workers.
The Koch Brothers also funded support for Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, Doug Jones of Alabama, and Michael Bennet of Colorado, all Democrats opposed to the Trump administration.
It's a big club, and the control agents of the UniParty work earnestly to keep control of it….

With all the portable gadgets these days it seems you just never have enough 12v outlets in your vehicle to power them all. Cell phone charger. GPS. Radar Detector. Laptop charger. FM transmitter for your MP3 player. The list just keeps growing every year.
If you've got an older vehicle, chances are you only have one cigarette lighter hole. Even if you have more than one - chances are you've had times when you needed another.
This tool allows you to turn one hole into two! Admit it, you know you've longed for a 2nd hole for some time now.

Code blue
My first patient's death as a nursing student
On Oct. 28, my patient died.
As a nursing student, I've seen patients at every stage in their lives. I've witnessed a mother bring a baby into the world and I've taken care of a hospice patient. I've taken care of pediatric patients from ages three to 20, and many elderly patients.
I also learned –– very quickly –– that no one is out of death's reach.
But even after caring for all types of patients, even after learning about death and dying in lecture over and over again, nothing could have prepared me for my first patient's death.
The day started like every other clinical day. I woke up early and drove to the hospital. My instructor asked if anyone wanted to spend the day on a different floor. I jumped at the opportunity.
I found myself on a new, unknown floor with a nurse that I'd never seen before. She was friendly, smart and worked in a way that I could tell she had years of experience. The floor was set up in the traditional hospital sense, one that was familiar but still confusing.
The floor, the nurses, the patients and the work were all similar to my previous clinical days: help my nurse if I can, check on patients, assess patients, check my patient's charts, help my patients when needed, give medications if I can, try not to get lost, listen for overhead announcements.
Until I heard an announcement that wasn't so familiar––it was a code. It was on my floor. In my patient's room.
"Code blue."
The next few minutes were a blur. I remember trying to find my nurse. Wondering if I was really going to go into this patient's room. Would they let me go in the room? Would they have me help?
I found my nurse in the hall. My legs felt heavy as I followed her into our patient's room.
As the other patient who lived in the room was wheeled out, I met his gaze. I remember thinking he was the only person who looked as scared as I felt.
It felt like hundreds of people were in our patient's tiny hospital room. It was suddenly bursting at the seams with medical personnel –– doctors, residents, nurses, me. Someone wheeled in the crash cart. The small red cart that I've only seen sitting in the hallway on every hospital floor. The cart that I've often looked and had to resist touching on more than one occasion.
I've taken CPR classes since I was 15. But performing it on a mannequin was nothing like what I saw in that hospital room. CPR classes don't teach you about the palpable fear of literally holding someone's life in your hands. Or how it looks violent and painful for the dying patient.
I've watched enough monitors to see all kinds of abnormal things: slow and fast respirations, irregular heart rhythms and rates, low oxygen saturation.
But I wasn't prepared to see my patient's heart rhythm look like a small child scribbled furiously across the screen as he received CPR. Or hear the beeping from the machine that wouldn't stop because his oxygen saturation was fluctuating like crazy because a machine was breathing for him. Or see the flat line that drew itself on the screen whenever the team stopped CPR to check if his heart was working on its own.
My nurse had me feel for a femoral pulse. She pointed to the right spot and told me it would be hard to miss. I stood there with my fingers pressed into this man's skin until they went numb, feeling – praying – for a pulse. I felt it constantly during chest compressions but every two minutes the doctor would call a pulse check, compressions would stop, he would ask if there was a pulse and I would have to reply "no pulse."
I lost count of how many times they asked if I felt a pulse. How many times I said "no pulse." How many doses of epinephrine they administered. How many minutes went by.
But I remember everyone talking about what could have caused his heart to stop. How young he was. How he could pull through.
And what felt like all at once, the CPR stopped. The monitor drew a flatline. And the doctor called the time of death. The room went from chaos to silence in that moment.
But it wasn't all at once.
Everyone in that room knew it was going to happen.
I watched the unaffected faces of the seasoned medical professionals around me. I didn't know how I was supposed to respond. I didn't know how I was supposed to feel.
Instructors tell you how to deal with a patient death; take some quiet time, listen to some music, sit and watch the vending machine spin. Do whatever feels right to you.
But what do you do that first time when you don't know how to cope? How do you figure out what feels right?
Your professors tell you that it gets easier or that, for them, some deaths are easier to cope with, like the 98-year-old who dies comfortably or the cancer patient who has come to terms with their diagnosis and dies surrounded by their family.
But how do you justify those random, freak accident deaths? The ones where the patient is finally feeling better, dressed and ready to go home?
I don't think anyone can tell you the answers. I don't think any kind of coping mechanism can truly help after a patient's death.
I was fortunate to find out the results of my patient's autopsy. For me, knowing the cause of death helped me come to terms with what happened–– even if only minutely.

I won't be able to post for a few days because I'm going to Stockholm - blind, as it were. Never been there before, haven't done any research other than obsessively checking the weather forecast and worrying that my flimsy London threads and soles won't hold up. Oh yes, we're also spending one night on a remote island in the archipelago; so me and my thin soled ankle boots should be fine there

The Women's ministry team are focussed on providing opportunities for the women at Wollongong Baptist Church to be encouraged in their faith and to get to know each other better. A variety of events, programs and materials are used to achieve these aims, including events involving multiple churches.
The team seeks to promote a culture of one-on-one mentoring between the women of Wollongong Baptist church, believing these relationships to be deeply significant as women journey through the ups and downs of life together.
Men's Ministry
The men at Wollongong Baptist Church enjoy regular fellowship through activities which seek to build them up in their faith in Jesus and to equip them to take up their roles as men in the body of Christ. Activities can include breakfasts or dinners with speakers, outreach events, involvement at Katoomba Men's Convention each year, sport or recreational fellowships etc.
Senior Adults (60+) are a vital part of the WBC church family.Our Seniors Ministry aims to deepen the faith of our Christian seniors and provide for their continued involvement and service in our church community.At the same time, we provide appropriate entertaining activities, and opportunities for a warm and friendly social network so friendships can develop and flourish.
An annual program operates around the interests and needs of senior adults within the congregation and the wider neighbouring community.

Overnight I received a note indicating Senator Tom Apodaca from Hendersonville in the 48th District had used a maneuver to ensure HB111 never sees the light of day. If I lived in his area I'd have to find out exactly what he is thinking and if he really wanted to be reelected. If you are in his district, you can contact him on his website or at email@example.com.
I remember back when PTC was coming through a certain representative from my area decided to vote against the bill. I vowed to not let that go unpunished so when he came up for reelection I let everyone I could who was a beer drinker know he no longer represented our area and needed to be sent back home. I remember reading after the election a statement from him wondering why he didn't get reelected and I just kept thinking to myself, I know one reason why!
Let's ask Senator Apodaca why he is afraid of a bill which protects citizens and what his agenda is for sending to another committee to die. I smell dirty politics. If that's his game, maybe people in his district should search for others to represent their interests.

Lipstick is not the only thing you need for great lips. Your lips themselves must be in good condition before you apply any tints or colors on them. But if you're grappling with dry lips, you need the help of a lip balm or scrub. Here are some things you should know about choosing the right one for your puckers and how to get the best out of them:
Both lip scrubs and balms address the same problem—dry lips. Most people use lip balms to tackle dryness as it happens, since you apply it when your lips are already chapped. However, even if your lips aren't dried out, you should still apply lip balm to prevent your puckers from damage.
Meanwhile, lip scrubs are also preventive. By exfoliating your lips once or twice a week, you remove the dead skin cells from your lips already. This reduces the chances of chapping in the future.
Since both products deal with dryness and chapping, lip balms and scrubs also help lip colors stay longer and look better on your lips.
Yes, both lip scrubs and balms are safe to ingest, especially the organic ones. And just in case you've heard the rumor that lip balm is addicting, fear not; there is actually no substance in them that can cause you to get addicted.
Other than repairing and preventing dry lips, there are a multitude of other uses for lip balm. For example, you can use it to help slide a stuck ring off a finger, or getting zippers unstuck. You can also use it to prevent hair color from staining your skin—just apply it around your hairline before putting dye on your hair. And you can use it to de-puff your eyes if you've run out of eye cream. The only catch: you should use unflavored, plain lip balm for these lifehacks.

The path of Milena Pepe (owner of Tenuta Cavalier Pepe In southern Italy) has fascinated us on several occasions: the Belgian blonde woman with a French accent approaches the vines of Irpinia area (inland of Campania region) on which her father invested with foresight, combining charm and determination, competence and femininity. A recipe that has led to a certain notoriety and that is also good for the whole territory, a land in constant growth with still so much potential to be exploited.
In a rather defined framework that in a total production of about 300,000 bottles includes sparkling wines, the classic DOC and DOCG wines of the territory together with the less known white Coda di Volpe, yet specialties such as tasty "Cerry Merry" (Aglianico and black cherries) and the reserves that, beyond the famous red Taurasi, see also the local whites – Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino – refine in wood, the focus remains on native vines with increasing elegance. The different expressions respect the territory also offering finesse and an immediate character even on difficult varieties such as the king of the area: Aglianico, well known for tannins and power.
So Milena, along with her wise consultant Gennaro Reale, is able to amaze me from time to time thanks to a rising refinement across the entire line. Here are some short notes about my last tastings.
- Lila 2017 is a Falanghina Irpina where the local character directly impacts on this variety (the white Falanghina) that is more popular in the close production area: Sannio. It offers a hint of citrus fruit which combines to a mineral-savory character and a body that makes it more decisive. Indeed, I find out that it is harvested at the end of October (Uncommon in Sannio).
- Grancare and Brancato 2017 (respectively from the precious and notorious white varieties Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino) now refined in oak only for the 30% of the total mass, have achieved extraordinary elegance and balance, with great texture and persistence for "Brancato", mature fruits, coherence and typicity for "Grancare".
- The same finesse that I find in Santo Stefano, the Aglianico of the Campi Taurasini sub-zone, 2013: well developed fruity and welcoming on the nose with hints of chocolate and laurel, slim enough and harmonious on the palate. One of my favorites of the all line.
- The two Taurasi are absolutely in line: "Opera Mia" 2013 and the reserve "La Loggia del Cavaliere" 2012, the first is juicy and savory while offering body and personality, the second dense and powerful with enormous potential.
A path to follow carefully. A company to keep an eye on.

text: First there were sparrows and starlings, robins and blue jays, squirrels, and more sparrows. Yawn. Nothing unique, but that didn't stop me from checking every jewel weed and red blossom. Finally, there in the little island in the lake, one hummingbird. I wanted to get closer, but that would have meant wading into the lake. Neck deep. Not exactly acceptable. There will be more I'm sure. For now, here's my first hummingbird of September, a female ruby-throated hummer.

Administrative history
The Chezzetcook Historical Society was formed by a group of local residents on January 28, 1974 at a meeting at Lakeview Consolidated School, Porters Lake. On February 12, 1974, the Society's constitution was drafted and it was formally incorporated under the Nova Scotia Societies Act. The stated purpose of the Chezzetcook Historical Society was to "do historical research into the ethnic backgrounds, cultures, genealogies and industries of the people of the area" encompassing Porters Lake, West Chezzetcook, Grand Desert, Seaforth, Three Fathom Harbour, Head Chezzetcook, Conrod's Settlement, Gaetz Brook, and East Chezzetcook. The Society would also strive to "work towards the permanent recording and publishing of such historical data" and to "make available such material as may be useful to the School Board for setting up a course in local history". Additional mandates of the Society were to record and collect documents and artifacts of historical significance, to identify, preserve or restore historical sites within the area, to acquire an historical building for use as a museum, and to encourage beautification programs for villages within the area. The Society was comprised of members who paid an annual fee for membership and was administered by an elected Board of Directors which included a maximum of three members plus officers (a President, Vice-President, one or more Secretaries and a Treasurer). The Society was disbanded sometime around 2006.
Custodial history
Due to the fact that the Chezzetcook Historical Society never had a permanent residence, for most of its lifespan the Society's records and other holdings traveled around between the homes of various members. While residing in the basement of one member, a portion of the records may have sustained water damage from a flood and were possibly discarded. In 2003, Society member Greg LeBlanc took a detailed inventory of the Society's holdings. The records, artifacts, and published materials owned by the Society were transferred from LeBlanc's home to the Seaforth Community Hall ca. 2006. While there, another portion of the records may have been damaged by water. The Society's records were transferred to the Eastern Shore Archives in 2009.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of records of the Chezzetcook Historical Society and its members. Textual records were created between about 1900- 1930, 1950- 1955, 1965, and 1974- 2008, but the majority date to between 1974 and 2004.

Watchdog calls for action against unfair loyalty penalties
Following complaints by Citizen's Advice, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has issued an urgent call for action against mobile providers who, they say, penalise loyal customers.
In its investigation the watchdog said that that mobile providers were not playing fair and demanded that they release customers from costly contracts once the have paid for their device.
In all it found what it called a range of dodgy practices that penalise customers, such as year-on-year stealth price rises, costly exit fees, difficult processes for cancelling contracts or switching, the practice of requiring customers to auto-renew and not giving proper warning when contracts will be rolled-over.
The CMA put forward a number of recommendations to the government and regulators that, they said, would tackle the so-called loyalty penalty. These included establishing a set of clear principles for mobile providers to follow and also included publishing data on the size of the loyalty penalty for suppliers each year.
Overall, we have found that the loyalty penalty is significant and impacts many people, including those who can least afford it. Customers rightly feel ripped off, let down and frustrated. They should not have to be constantly 'on guard' or spend hours negotiating to get a good deal. This erodes people's trust in markets and the system as a whole.- Competition and Markets Authority: Executive Summary, Tackling the Loyalty Penalty
The CMA also backed the requirement that customers on bundled handset and airtime contracts be moved to a fairer tariff when their minimum contract period ends.
Recently, the UK's communications watchdog Ofcom took steps addressing this very issue. It published plans that will require mobile providers to tell customers when their contracts were up and to alert customers to better deals.
Alongside its investigation into the loyalty penalty, the CMA has also launched a review of the antivirus software market. It is expected to look at whether automatic renewals are set as default, whether the customer is notified, and if so, whether renewed subscriptions costs the same as the original.
The CMA has also called on the government to press ahead with its smart data review. This has seen demands that mobile providers improve data portability, so customers can switch more easily.
According to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) data portability allows individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes across different services. It allows them to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without affecting its usability.
The CMA has said it wants to see urgent action taken on its recommendations, with the ominous warning that 'if sufficient progress isn't made, it may take further action.'

By John Zagar, Sustainable Plant Systems Major, Turfgrass Specialization
Every day that I wake with some sort of productivity in mind, my go-to brain food is the banana. It's delicious, nutritious, and no cooking is required. A huge plus. Being rich in potassium that aids in preventing cramping, bananas are also a great post-workout snack for me because I'm lazy and don't stretch too well. Also, Hollaback Girl is a great song.
But I digress from my affection with the banana to bring forth this news: the banana is in trouble, people.
An article published in October, 2016 from the website, The Conversation, brought to my attention that the renowned Cavendish banana, the one that everyone eats, is under attack from a new disease called Black Sigatoka, caused by the fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis.
Black Sigatoka has swept through Central and South America, causing a drop in yield by upwards of 50% for some growers. This is obviously terrible news for the producers and it's going to hurt consumers too.
Drawing back to my learnings from remedial economics, I postulate that as supply goes down, prices rise. I love bananas, but I'm also a poor college student. If the banana shelves at the store are low, so are the funds in my wallet.
Fun fact: the Cavendish banana is grown in monoculture, which means that banana farms pretty much grow just this one type of banana. The farms will be much more susceptible to disease and suspect to greater loss than polyculture farms.
The good news is that this isn't the first major epidemic for the banana. In the 60's, before the Cavendish, we imported Big Mike bananas, but then the Big Mike's were struck by a disease called Fusarium Wilt.
We don't eat Big Mike bananas anymore.
Steps are being taken to prevent a collapse including new breeding techniques and polyculture farms. Let's just hope it isn't too late.

Rated: R
STARS: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano
DIRECTOR: Judd Apatow
GENRE: Romantic Comedy/Drama
There is plenty of irony, even in the title: The Big Sick. A young woman lies in a coma, fighting for her life. But there is another kind of sickness that permeates all of society--in every culture--and it's called prejudice. Here, though, we have a different twist. Instead of white folks being the bigots, it's a Pakistani family living in the USA that absolutely will not accept the idea of their son falling for an American girl--and a blonde, at that! Arranged marriages are their thing, and mom recruits a cadre of comely Pakistani ladies who just happen to "drop by" during dinnertime to meet her sitting duck son, Kumail.
But Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani), a stand up comedian, is smitten by Emily--an affable, quirky kind of girl--qualities brought out in spades by the delightful Zoe Kazan. Emily is so American that she believes couples should fall in love first, and proceed from there. This sets up a classic clash of cultures, as Kumail is chicken to reveal Emily's presence to his family for fear of the consequences. He's caught in the middle, and now, as Emily lies in a medically induced coma in the hospital fighting a life threatening infection, Kumail has her parents (Ray Romano and Holly Hunter) to contend with as well. What's a funny man to do...laugh it off? Hardly.
It's a bit peculiar to See Ray Romano playing it straight as the concerned dad, though it's not that much of a departure from his normal deadpan style. Just the punchlines are missing. Who knows, maybe he'll morph into the next Steve Carell! And director Judd Apatow surely knew that Holly Hunter was a show stealer when he brought her aboard. Here he looks the other way as she commits grand larceny in a supporting role with a powerful and nuanced performance.
The only thing that didn't ring true (to me) is that we we watch Kumail blow off all of these beautiful Pakistani women (and I cringed) in favor of his American crush. Hey, I would have found a way to fit some of them in...
But that's me.
I almost didn't see The Big Sick (based on a true story) due to its highly misleading trailer. They took what comedic punchlines there were and stuck them all into the trailer, making the film appear to be lighthearted romantic fluff. It's MUCH more than that. Serio-comic would be the appropriate term. Thought-provoking would be another. Damn good would be another.
Bring tissue.
Grade: A
How I love to be right! And this time, at my insistence, Tim finally broke down and went to see The Big Sick. I'd seen it in California and knew he'd like it. A lot. Having spent many years in Vancouver, BC, where the Pakistani culture flourishes, I had witnessed a mother who actually pretended to be her own daughter, signing her up on a Pakistani dating site and corresponding with potential husband material. (I kid you not!)The Big Sick uses this arranged marriage business in wonderfully humorous ways. But in real life honor killings are no joke.
The story is based on the real life of stand-up comedian Kumail Nanjiani, whose role as Dinesh on the HBO series "Silicon Valley" made his face a familiar one to TV viewers. His comic timing is impeccable and some of the lines he utters in The Big Sick (I won't ruin it for you by repeating them here) are guffaw-makers. If you want a taste of his understated brilliance check out this YouTube video:
Or this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?
The only criticism I could come up with was too much medical stuff, too many specialists. My west coast movie buddy Hank was quick to point out that some of those actors-turned-doctors were, in reality, fellow comics. (Good for Kumail for casting them in cameos...) I also want to mention that this same movie buddy agreed with Tim. He felt the pack of potential Pakistani wives, especially the last one, were far more appealing than his coma-induced American cutie. The Big Sick is layered, thought-provoking and a cinematic gem. No wonder it's been held over in movie theaters here for six weeks straight.
Grade: B+

Language interpretation: migrant health guide
Advice and guidance on the health needs of migrant patients for healthcare practitioners.
Main messages
General Medical Council guidance states that you must make sure, wherever practical, that arrangements are made to meet patients' language and communication needs.
Language is very important in the context of the health practitioner to patient consultation. It can help reduce barriers between practitioner and patient and ensure safety with respect to diagnosis and prescription.
Where language is a problem in discussing health matters, offer a professional interpreter rather than using family or friends. Using neutral-speaking interpreters can help foster trust with the patient.
It is particularly inappropriate to use children as interpreters for adults.
Mention interpreting needs when referring to other health professionals.
Communicating with patients
NHS 111 (telephone 111) can provide a confidential interpreter covering a wide range of languages for those using the service.
The Picture Communication Tool comprises a set of drawings to help speak with people whose first language is not English.
Migrants Organise has produced a 'Good practice guide to interpreting', which has information for patients about using interpreting services, particularly:
- to help patients and their families understand why they should communicate with health services through a formal interpreter
- why interpreting is important
- how to use an interpreting service correctly
It is available in English, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese and Somali.
The British Red Cross and NHS 'Emergency multilingual phrasebook' (published 2004) is available in Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Bosnian-Bosanski, Chinese, Czech, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Lingala, Macedonian, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tamil, Turkish, Ukranian, Urdu, Vietnamese and Welsh.
Information about health and health services in Scotland is available on NHS Inform. This content is not routinely translated into other languages but a translation and interpretation service can be provided on request.
The Refugee Council has leaflets in many languages for refugees and asylum seekers who want to find out more about the asylum process.
NHS.UK provides health information in many languages.
NHS Heron has searchable patient information in a range of community languages.
The Chinese National Healthy Living Centre features interpretation support and multi-lingual health helpline.
EthnoMED is a U.S. website with a range of patient education materials in different languages.
Google translate allows you to type text or translate a document in over 50 languages.
Learning best practice
The e-GP online e-learning resource for NHS GPs and doctors undertaking specialty training for UK general practice includes training on 'language barriers'.
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RGCP) provides a guide to using an interpreter.
NHS England 'Improving the quality of interpreting in primary care', a project to co-produce a set of principles with patients and clinicians to help reduce health inequalities in primary care settings.
Interpreting in a health context
Mothertongue have produced a series of videos about best practice for interpretation, and how therapists and interpreters can work effectively together in a health context.

Prior to heading out on a U.K. tour with alternative metal darlings Skunk Anansie, the twenty-nothing British newcomers of Muse managed to shoot the video for "Muscle Museum," the first single from their just-released debut LP, "Showbiz."The "Muscle Museum" clip was directed by Joseph Kahn, who has done videos in the past for the likes of Korn, Faith No More, Sugar Ray, and Janet Jackson, and features the trio performing the song in a dilapidated high school gym in downtown Los Angeles. According to a spokesperson for the band, the concept for the "Muscle Museum" video features a surreal mix of disturbing imagery and situations reminiscent in tone of David Lynch's "Blue Velvet." As the band recently told MTV News, most of the treatments they read and turned down for the video were actually too macabre to even consider. "There were some really perverted ones that were quite dark," explained Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy, "[one] involving an eight-year-old boy walking around with a syringe with milk [in it], squirting it in people's faces. I thought that was pretty dark, so that got a big no." "And there was a couple of dodgy torture ones," added bassist Chris Wolstenholme. "Yeah, there were some weird, strange ones involving hospitals as well," Bellamy continued. "I think [directors] just read the title 'Muscle Museum' and think it's supposed to be a twisted, dark Marilyn Manson thing. But some of the ones I like have been quite weird. The one I wanted to do starts with us drinking out of petrol pumps. It was a really strange video." [RealAudio] Muse will hook up with the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a European tour following its dates with Skunk Anansie, and the band plans on returning to the States for a round of American shows in December.
