You Bet - Gordon the Gofer - Band of Brothers - The Avengers - The Borrowers
If you're a qualified or experienced skydiver, who can be available for TV or film work at short notice, then please register your interest.
The Red Devils Freefall Team were asked to submit a challenge for the TV programme called You Bet, hosted by Mathew Kelly. The team presented the following challenge: five skydivers jump separately from an aircraft flying at 8,000ft; they then build a five man formation (A Star); they then breakaway to deploy their parachute and build a five man canopy formation (A Stack); they then separate and land individually on the back of a moving lorry traveling at 25mph.
The freefall formation and the canopy stack were, as the team expected, successful. However, the challenge of landing on the back of a moving lorry was something the team had not done before and TV viewers were kept in suspense as each skydiver attempted this new challenge. The first four landed successfully in the middle of the lorry but the forth landed on the tail end. Just as his feet touched down his canopy dragged him off the lorry, before he could cut it away. It was deemed a failure because the last man failed to remain on board. The audience loved it and the producers were overjoyed at the last second, decisive moment.
The Team:
Allan Hewitt - Joe Willoughby - Mac Mclennan - Steve Jelf
Filmed by Ian Barraclough.
Philip Scofield did a Tandem Skydive as part of his TV show for children. After his skydive was shown, his co-star, Gordon the Gofer, surprised him by showing a video of his skydive.
Gordon the Gofer did an AFF skydive with Allan Hewitt and Jonathan Dyer and was seen squeaking his his way through level one, to the amazement of Philip Scofield.
Filmed by Ian Barraclough
Sky Science was contracted to build and supply the parachute equipment used by the airborne forces in the film The Band of Brothers. The equipment was built to replicate the the original parachute systems used during the war, but designed and manufactured by Allan Hewitt to meet the strict, up to date safety regulations.
Sky Science designed and built stunt harnesses that had to be hidden underneath tight fitting lycra clothing. The full body harness had to be made without hardware which meant each one had to be customised to perfectly fit the individual actresses and stunt doubles. We also built a special safety harness for Eddie Izzard.

The trusted source for

New nurse graduates could be a great solution to filling staff needs at ASCs. However, surgery centers should start by establishing thorough training programs.
As ASCs compete with hospitals, physician offices, and other providers for nurses, they also might consider new nurse graduates.
"Our workforce is changing, and we have to look at things very differently," says Deena Gilland, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, vice president and chief nursing officer at Emory Ambulatory Care in Atlanta. "Our newer generation of nurses has a lot of interest in ambulatory settings; they come in thinking about care across the continuum. Those of us who graduated years ago were more narrowly focused in our thoughts."
ASCs and other ambulatory settings need RNs who are skilled and knowledgeable about ambulatory care, says June Levine, MSN, BSN, RN, patient-centered medical home director at Southside Coalition of Community Health Centers in Los Angeles. Levine has helped develop a residency program for nurses in ambulatory settings. (See story on strategies to prepare new nurses for ASC work in this issue.)
"The RN workforce needs to be built up in numbers, quality, and in leadership skills," Levine says. "The numbers are irrelevant if they're not qualified or if they don't know how to lead."
This directional change among new nurses is positive, and surgery centers should take advantage of the interest new graduates show in their work setting. In large urban areas, there's huge growth and a great need for experienced nurses in ambulatory care. The current supply and pipeline is not enough to meet the need, so something has to change, Levine adds.
"My question was: 'Why are we not taking new graduates in ambulatory care,'" Gilland recalls. "I looked at the literature, and there is some evidence that new graduates can thrive in ambulatory care."
Gilland answered that question two years ago with a plan to build a pipeline from nursing school to ambulatory settings, including ASCs. After one year of planning, in March 2017 the first group of 11 new nursing graduates found jobs in a formal residency program for ambulatory settings. Five new nurses chose surgery centers. At the one-year mark, Gilland could see that the program worked well. The resident nurses received the support and training they needed to succeed in their roles, and the program has continued to enroll new nursing graduates.
The program worked so well that Gilland cites that as one of the lessons learned.
"When we first started this, my goal was, literally, to enroll one new graduate," she explains. "My lesson learned was that there was a lot more interest in ambulatory care than I'd ever anticipated."
• Prepare well. "We worked on this a year before we started the residency program," Gilland says. "We were very intentional, taking our time, because we wanted new nurses to flourish."
The first step was to build ambulatory curriculum at the Emory's nursing school. There, students learn not only how important nursing care is in an ambulatory setting, but also about population health.
"No matter how much we planned, we didn't think we planned early enough," Gilland notes.
For the next round of nursing graduates, planning began the day after the first group became residents.
"There are 250 nursing students a year taking an ambulatory care course," Gilland says. Students rotate through ASCs, clinics, and other ambulatory sites. "As senior students, they can help in a surgery center with patient education," she says. "They do a full PACU, pre-op assessments, and medicate patients."
• Build curriculum. "We decided to use the Vizient nurse residency program," Gilland says. "I told Vizient what I'd like to do for ambulatory care, and they were very excited about that, partnering with us to do that."
The Vizient/American Association of Colleges of Nursing Nurse Residency Program claims on its website that it maintains a first-year nurse retention rate of 95%.1 The residency curriculum that Gilland helped develop includes a monthly didactic classroom meeting. These classes cover communication skills, occupational injury, evidence-based practice, and other topics. The program requires all residents to complete an evidence-based practice project.
"Residents identify a problem or issue in their area, like in an ASC, and then they work with their mentor to address the problem," Gilland explains.
They make a change and collect data after the change. Residents also can present their projects.
"Two of our residents will present their projects at the program graduation," Gilland adds.
• Obtain buy-in. Directors and nurse managers at Emory's seven surgery centers had to decide if their unit was ready for a new graduate. There would need to be a preceptor and a buy-in culture for the residency program, Gilland says.
"So, directors would talk with their staff and providers, saying, 'We want to bring a new graduate into this environment. What do you think?'" she says. "Everybody had to have buy-in."
Some ASCs decided the program was not a good fit for them, maybe because of their size or for other reasons. But those who decided to hire new nurse residents were very engaged with the process, she says.
"We wanted the program to be successful and keep going, so we had to have current staff buy-in," Gilland adds.
• Train preceptors. The Emory residency program includes boot camp training for preceptors, covering their roles as educators, coaches, advocates, and role models, Gilland says.
"When talking about communication, we brought in experts from the patient and family experience department to talk about building tools," she explains. "Most new graduates are millennials, and so we focus on that piece about how to best communicate with them."
The boot camp occurs over one day, and 70 nurses volunteered for the first one.
"We also talk about how to handle challenging situations," she says. "And we have an interactive part with real-life scenarios, asking how they would handle those."
Lastly, preceptor training focuses on how to ease a recent nursing school graduate into the role of an autonomous nurse. "How do you let go? You have to begin with the end in mind," Gilland says. "So, how do you nurture them and then step back from that? You want this person to be a successful surgery center nurse."
• Provide structure. The residency program offers curriculum that reflects each nursing setting. Nurse leaders and an education coordinator wrote a checklist and skills for the first 16 weeks of the residency program. They developed an onboarding process and an orientation.
"Nurse leaders and ASC leaders decided they wanted new grads to be well-rounded and have experiences in all areas," Gilland says. "They can have experience in the surgery center's operating room and touch on all of the other areas, too."
This helps new nurses understand the entire ASC workflow, but it also gives them an idea of which area in which they would most like to work. A program supervisor makes sure preceptors are ready to take on the role, and she checks on them to make sure they are checking in with their residents weekly.
"It's written into the preceptor structure that there are weekly check-ins and that preceptors know what their residents' goals are for the week," Gilland says.
The residency program also includes a competency assessment and validation tool that is completed by the orientee and the preceptor. (See sample competency assessment at the end of this article.)
Preceptors and residents complete a list of skills and competencies that were built into the program. The goal was to help the new graduates become independent.
By the time the new graduate has been on the job for four months, they might be ready for more autonomy and less preceptor oversight.
"The program is very structured with a lot of rigor to make sure they're practicing safely and have the skills they need," Gilland says. "We have weekly sheets to show the competencies they're working with and the goals set for the next week."
• Complete the follow-up. For the last eight or so months of the residency year, preceptors and orientees engage in sit-down meetings to go over skills and goals. These meetings are not necessarily weekly, as they were for the first few months.
"The preceptor lets them work on their own, and checks in with them, but not at as frequent intervals," Gilland explains. "The preceptor is there as a resource, but not to work as intensely side by side with them."
The goal is to help the new nurses flourish and grow, she adds.
• Tweak program. After the first group of nursing graduates entered the residency program, the program team decided to make changes for the next round. They planned to add simulation lab work.
"New nurses might learn about codes by having a mock code blue," Gilland says. "They'd practice in the simulation lab to be part of the team."
As nurses graduate from the residency program, Gilland will continue collecting information about their retention rates and career growth, hoping the metrics will confirm what she's heard anecdotally about the residents.
"Everyone who works with them thinks they're doing great work as part of the team," she says.
Both residency program nurses and their preceptors complete the four-page Emory Clinic of Atlanta ASC BSN Residency Competency Assessment and Validation Tool. The new nurses and their preceptors complete the self-assessment part, judging the new nurse's skills according to these three levels: Level 1 (limited experience and knowledge, competent in basic skills, has theory base, is task-oriented), Level 3 (acceptable competency and proficiency, minimum of one year experience and knowledge), and Level 5 (mastery experience, knowledge, competency; able to teach and supervise others). Below are some expected nursing competencies:
Financial Disclosure: Editor Jonathan Springston, Editor Jill Drachenberg, Editorial Group Manager Terrey L. Hatcher, Author Melinda Young, and Nurse Planner Kay Ball, RN, PhD, CNOR, FAAN, report no consultant, stockholder, speaker's bureau, research, or other financial relationships with companies having ties to this field of study. Stephen W. Earnhart discloses that he is a stockholder and on the board for One Medical Passport.

September 17, 2008
On Saturday we hung out with one of Martina's co-workers, Chong-Won (we're not sure how to spell his name) and his friend, to see some of Bucheon's attractions. We first went to Bucheon Fantastic Studios, which was the set for many Korean TV shows and music videos. Now it's a ghost town, and it was really quite boring to walk through. Thankfully, right beside it is Aiins World, and so we went there right afterwards.
Aiins World is a theme park with 100 of the World's most famous buildings and structures at a 1/25 scale. The World Trade Centre is around 35 meters high. The price of admission is 8500 won, and walking through the entire place and soaking everything in will take you at least half an hour to 45 minutes. It's very close to us in Bucheon, as well, as it's a couple minute drive away from the Home Plus. Taking the taxi there from our apartment cost us under 3000 won. It's really quite impressive, and we strongly recommend everyone in Bucheon to visit it at least once (we plan on going again at night). We have a viewer of this site who recommended it to us in an email, since he helped build it back in 2003-2004. So here's a video of it for him. Â As well, we took pictures of both places, so click on either picture below to see the full photoset from our day's adventures in Bucheon.

The clock is ticking to obtain health
coverage—if you don't already have it—to
be in compliance with the Affordable Care
Act. The open enrollment deadline is
March 31. Miss it, and you face a penalty.
The good news is that many of the
glitches that bedeviled the launch of
Healthcare.gov, the federal government's
consumer-facing insurance exchange,
have been fixed, and users are reporting
a much improved experience from those
first troubled weeks. The site functions
as the public insurance exchange for the
27 states that don't have their own online
marketplace and as a portal to the others
that have set up their own exchanges.
You have another option as aREALTOR®, and that's to use REALTORS®Insurance Marketplace, available throughthe REALTOR Benefits® Program. TheMarketplace offers NAR members a pri-vate exchange on which you can com-pare plans and purchase your coverage,much as you would though the federalor state exchanges. In addition to theACA-compliant major medical plansavailable, the marketplace also makesNAR-provided supplemental coverageavailable through REALTORS® CoreHealth Insurance. This supplemental planisn't ACA-compliant, but it can help youlower the costs of your major medicalcoverage or fill a coverage gap that yourmajor medical plan doesn't include. If youalready have coverage that meets theACA's requirements, you should be all setfor 2014. If you're unsure whether yourexisting coverage is ACA-compliant or isgrandfathered in, be sure to talk to yourinsurance representative. A plan doesn'tneed to comply with the ACA if you've hadit continuously since the law's passagein March 2010 and its terms haven'tsignificantly changed. But be aware thatif your existing plan isn't ACA-compliantor your plan has substantively changedsince March 2010, you'll need to find anACA-compliant plan by the end of openenrollment, or you'll get hit with thepenalty, which for 2014 is $95 per adultin your household or 1 percent of yourhousehold income, whichever is greater.

As the title suggests, this post will go through my favourite makeup discoveries of 2017, linking reviews and swatch comparisons where possible. I slowed down my makeup consumption in 2017 and I made fewer impulse purchases – you can read more about that here. I love over 80% of the products that I purchased thanks to my research, but these are my absolute favourite would-repurchase-1000x-over products. Some of these products were released ages ago, but I didn't discover them until this year. I'll start with face products, followed by eyes and lips.
Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer
I've always struggled with concealer. It can be so finicky and I constantly have to change my application method depending on my skin's condition. However, I can always count on this concealer to look good. It has a medium coverage, it lasts all day if I use a setting powder, it mixes well with foundations, it blurs pores, it blends nicely, it looks natural, and it's basically everything that I've ever dreamed of. If you found Glossier's Stretch Concealer too greasy and sheer, you'll love this. I've used this regularly since March and I own two different shades. Check out my mini review on Instagram here and my blog post here.
MAC Prep + Prime Fix+
I tried this for the first time in March, and I can't believe that I waited so long! This melds my makeup together and makes it look so natural. I use this whenever my makeup looks cakey. I don't know how I managed before I started using this.
Suqqu Pure Colour Blush in 105 Tankouka
I purchased this blush at Selfridges when I made a quick trip to London in October. I had dreamed of trying a Suqqu blush for the longest time, and this met all of my expectations. This blush looks kind of boring in the pan and very shimmery in swatches, but it's a perfect warm pink with a golden sheen on my cheeks. It looks natural and beautiful. The formula is great, as I expected. It applies effortlessly and it still looks fantastic after an eighteen hour day. Here are swatches from one of my favourite Instagrammers, @tremblelikeaflower.
Viseart Warm Mattes Eyeshadow Palette
This was my first beauty purchase of 2017, and I'm still in love with it. Viseart palettes are great for creating a variety of eye looks without any fuss. The shades are more versatile than they look and the colours never look muddy when blended. These eyeshadows are firm, buildable, and long lasting. You can read about my experience with Viseart palettes here and you can find swatches of the Warm Mattes palette on Instagram here.
Chanel Ombre Première Longwear Cream Eyeshadow
This is a more recent purchase, but I've worn it so much that I couldn't bear to exclude it. Check out my recent review on Instagram here.
Inglot AMC Gel Eyeliner in 77
This was a birthday gift from my friend Jess. As a gel eyeliner fan, I had been wanting to try this for ages. This is one of the smoothest eyeliners I've ever used. It's precise enough to make a wing, it lasts all day as long as you don't smear it within the first sixty seconds after application, and it's easier to remove with eye makeup remover. It never crumbles, unlike the ones I've tried from Tarte and ColourPop. I'm tempted to purchase this in every colour, but unfortunately I don't wear eyeliner often enough to justify it.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk
I had previously finished a Pillow Talk Lip Cheat and I knew that I loved the colour, so I couldn't resist ordering Pillow Talk when it was released in one of my favourite lipstick formulas of all time. It quickly replaced Bitch Perfect as my go-to lipstick. It's comfortable, long-wearing, and flattering. I even hosted a giveaway for it and Valentine. Check out my review on Instagram here and view swatches here and here.
YSL Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain in Rosewood Gang
I purchased this while I was visiting a friend in Montréal. This colour looked gorgeous on her and it lasted beautifully throughout our lunch, so I decided to pick it up at Sephora. I'm in love with the formula and the colour is perfect. Check out comparisons on Instagram here and here (a full review is coming!) and view swatches here.
Lise Watier Rouge Fondant Suprême in Rachelle
This was another birthday gift from Jess. Lise Watier is a seriously underrated brand. On me, Rachelle is a flattering warm, muted pinky coral. Most importantly, it's hydrating and it fades evenly. Check out my review on Instagram here and view comparison swatches here.
Dior Addict Lacquer Stick in LA Pink
World Inspires You Create encouraged me to purchase this lipstick, and I'm so glad she did. Check out my blog post here, my Instagram post here, and comparison swatches here and here.

Is anybody here able to provide any 'inside information' on the progress of BIRTLEY Cab 3? It was originally planned for February 2014 but has been delayed since. It started its fibre journey earlier the year when I saw Openreach laying ducts from the exchange to the cabinet.
According to streetworks the DSLAM is supposed to be installed over the next week. Cab 18 is also getting built next week, but that is getting power installed at the same time. Unfortunately no power installation is listed for Cab 3, only DSLAM installation.
Emailed Openreach almost two weeks ago and asked politely if they could provide an update on the cabinet. I was directed to a high-level complaints team and am still waiting for a response.
Also a little disheartened at where the cabinet is situated. The nearest housing estate is about half a mile away, but can't do anything about that.
Thank you.

Thorn almost cheered when the water's taste started to change; the entrance he was looking for was close by! He called to Amitiel, "Not too much further!" His enthusiasm was again rising, but there was still a lingering thought that something could have gone wrong. It wasn't unheard of for people to die when he wasn't around to protect them, and the world was just so dangerous now. It shut the doubts and worry away with the simple logic of, I'll worry about it when I get there. Soon he could see where the river opened to the sea and bolted for it. The sooner he knew Bell, Aqua, and Saferi were okay, the sooner he would stop worrying. He had to slow down a bit when he realized that he needed to make sure he didn't leave the shiny Dragonair behind, but he was clearly eager to get moving.
It didn't take long to find the estuary they had spent the night in, and he was so relieved to see the Floatzel and Poliwag there. He called out to the pair, "Hey! I'm back! The Seaking was still there, thankfully." His smile was huge as he greeted them. Aqua was floating on top of the water as she fiddled with something, and Bell had been looking at a collection of the shiny metal items. It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that they were the strange human cans that usually held food. He was glad to see that they had a lucky endeavor. "Found someone willing to help out, too," he nodded towards the shiny Dragonair, "Her name's Amitiel. Amitiel, this is Bell and Aqua." Looking pointedly towards the cans, he also commented, "Guess you guys got lucky, huh?"

Governments across emerging Asia face big challenges managing swelling foreign exchange outflows on oil imports and steering sensitive domestic fuel price liberalization policies.
The strains have been particularly acute in the larger oil-consuming countries including India and Indonesia.
It might be about to get worse. Crude's surge to four-year highs at the start of October and a more than 30% dive in November, coupled with the U.S.-China trade war creating uncertainty over global oil demand for the coming months, portends a period of extreme price volatility and unpredictability.
Benchmark global crude prices have nose-dived in recent weeks amid expectations of plentiful supply and waning demand due to slowing economic momentum.
However, energy ministers from the 15 OPEC countries and their 10 non-OPEC allies are expected to decide to curb production in 2019, when they meet in Vienna over Dec. 6 and 7. That would likely shore up crude prices from their current levels, which see Brent hovering around $60 and WTI near $50 per barrel. But the mix of factors influencing prices has made it harder than ever to say with a reasonable degree of confidence, what levels we will see next year, or how widely they might fluctuate.
That can pose a bigger problem for governments doing annual budgeting for oil expenditure, planning pricing and taxation policies at the pump, or advancing fuel diversification initiatives.
The low oil price years of 2014-2016 accelerated fuel price deregulation in several countries across Asia including India, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. As OPEC and non-OPEC crude production cuts began to mop up the global overhang and push up prices, governments went into consolidation mode on those reforms in 2017.
This year, the twin stresses of crude's spike and sharply depreciating national currencies against the U.S. dollar saw pump prices surge to historic highs in a few countries, forcing some to revive state subsidies or reduce taxes in a bid to alleviate the consumers' burden and avert a possible drag on economic growth.
Indonesia began backpedaling on its fuel pricing reforms in 2017. Malaysia's new government, following general elections in May 2018, reintroduced gasoline price caps and subsidies as part of its election pledge.
India's central government cut excise duties on petrol and diesel by 2.50 rupees (3.5 cents) per liter in early October, which eased pump prices by about 3%. Some Indian state governments also lowered sales taxes on the fuels, at the behest of the central government.
Even South Korea, which has a fully deregulated market with full pass-through of crude costs to pump prices, slashed taxes on petrol and diesel by 15% for a period of six months starting Nov. 6, saying it wanted to ease the burden on households and small businesses.
While these measures, whether it be walking back price deregulation or adjusting fuel taxes, provide governments a quick fix and sometimes a way out of politically sticky situations, they should not be mistaken for a sustainable strategy.
If all that governments do is respond to high crude prices when they bite, they will always be at the mercy of the vagaries of the market, where boom and bust cycles are becoming shorter and more frequent.
Even if crude settles in a lower range in 2019 compared with this year, the currency challenges of major Asian oil-importing countries may not go away, as the U.S. dollar is expected to remain strong. That could maintain the pressure on fiscal balances.
It is not that Asia's energy consumers are not responding to rapid change. Most countries are diversifying energy sources, while also embracing environmental sustainability as their consumption spikes. Ambitious targets for replacing internal combustion engine automobiles with electric vehicles as well as the mandatory addition of increasing amounts of biofuels to refined oil products and policy support for wind and solar power projects are all steps in the right direction.
The big problem, however, is that these initiatives, even collectively, will not make a serious dent in oil consumption, though they are expected to slow down the growth in demand and lead to a plateau in a few decades. Electric vehicle numbers are growing fast, especially in China, the world's largest automobile market, but from a very small base. The same is true of the share of wind and solar power in total electricity generation.
Even a plateau in oil demand will leave the world consuming more than 100 million barrels a day, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for more than 35% and increasingly dependent on other regions to satisfy its crude needs.
Biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, while helping displace some fossil fuel use in transportation, cannot go beyond a certain percentage in the blend. In any case, they are typically propped up by government subsidies, tax breaks and regulatory mandates. Asian countries, prominently China, India and Indonesia, are promoting first-generation biofuels that are made from food crops, raising concerns over deforestation, loss of agricultural land, and rising food prices.
It is time for developing Asia to double down on a solution that could actually help reduce oil use, is environmentally friendly, and an answer to urban traffic gridlocks -- efficient local public transportation. Urbanization in the Asia-Pacific reached a tipping point in 2018: For the first time, more than half the region's population lives in urban, rather than rural areas.
China has done well with the speedy development of its high-speed rail network. India and a few countries in Southeast Asia are looking at installing Elon Musk's Hyperloop, a superfast ground transportation system. But these are typically systems for long distances, providing an alternative to air travel and traditional railway connections between cities.
Building mass rapid public transportation system in densely-populated cities is complex, expensive, and time-consuming. But the long-term economic benefits outweigh the costs.
In the short to medium term, governments will have to continue to balance satisfying growing oil demand, moderating pump prices in the event of crude spikes, and containing the drain on foreign exchange when their currencies slump against the dollar. Going into 2019, they must be ready for more volatility. That means looking at a wider range of price scenarios and preparing in advance, rather than relying on ad hoc responses.

The voting has concluded, and American citizens know only one thing about its outcome, the presidency will be determined after the will of the people is calculated in Florida. The most important thing the candidates can do is put the full weight of their support behind a reasonable process that assists a fair and accurate count of the ballots. This is why I am appalled at former secretary of state James Baker's analysis of the hand recount occurring in selected counties in Florida.
Baker is acting as an agent of the Bush campaign, a campaign that said Gore trusts government and Bush trusts people. Yet, when the people of Florida decide that they want to hand count their ballots to double-check the machines, suddenly the Republicans don't trust people anymore. Baker has cited the possibility of human error and mischief.
Make no mistake about it: this recount is fully consistent with the rule of law in Florida. In our nation all elections are state elections, and state law – not federal law – governs the process by which we select our president in conjunction with the guidance of our national Constitution. Florida law allows the Gore campaign to challenge the results of an election and request a hand recount, and it is the Bush campaign that should stay out of the way. Instead, the GOP – the party of small government, states' rights and trusting people – has filed for an injunction in federal court to try to undermine the will of a people who want to recount their ballots so they can be sure their electoral votes go to the right candidate.
I am deeply sorry to make this a partisan issue, but as a citizen of this country I cannot take this sitting down. I will accept it if Gore loses the election, but I will not accept a Bush presidency if he was not duly elected. I will accept it if the Republican Party criticizes the Gore campaign, but I do no accept that such criticism has turned into litigation aimed at undermining a lawful process. In America we settle our disputes using the machinery of our law. We do not use the machinery of our law to circumvent the will of the people through public relations stunts aimed at disenfranchising an entire state.
I encourage my fellow citizens to support the electoral process. The leaders in the world need to know how careful we are when it comes to our elections so that they respect the United States as the city on the hill of democracy. We, as a people, need to know who we elected president so that we can go confidently into the next four years with a sense of legitimacy about our most coveted political institution, the American presidency.

How is the character of Atticus the nucleus of 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
Extracts from this document...
How is the character of Atticus the nucleus of 'To Kill a Mockingbird'? In order to assess the extent to which the character of Atticus Finch could be described as the nucleus of the novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird', it is necessary to examine several factors. One of the most important of these is the manner in which the character of Atticus embodies many themes throughout the novel and the way Atticus is key to many of the events within the story. Another way in which Atticus could be said to be the nucleus of the novel is the way his characters has an impact on the actions of other characters throughout Harper Lee's work. Within the story of 'To Kill a Mockingbird', Atticus Finch displays many of the novel's key themes. One of the most important themes in the book is the idea of fatherhood and growing up. Atticus has been described as the ideal literary father due to the manner in which he teaches Jem and Scout important lessons of morality through their own experiences and consequently the reader is able to see the way that these lessons affect their behaviour. An example is the way that one of the earliest lessons the children learn, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." Pg33. This is important as it changes the way Jem and Scout perceive events later on in the novel. ...read more.
As 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is told from the point of view of Scout, who is still young, Atticus is required to explain to Jem and Scout the prejudices in their community. Towards the beginning of the novel the story is based upon a series of lessons that Jem and Scout learn from their childhood experiences. The way Atticus teaches them about morality prepares them for the trial later on in the book. If Atticus was not there to bring the characters and reader through these problems, then the trial would not have the same impact that it does. Atticus could also be described as the nucleus of the novel because of his ability to change other character's views, and his ability to influence people's actions. This is illustrated by how Atticus influences the jury in the court case. Although the eventual verdict of the jury is guilty, Atticus may have helped to dispel some of the original prejudices against Tom Robinson because he was black, therefore slowing the jury in their conviction of Tom. This occurred due to the fact that Atticus managed to prove that the Ewells, who are members of the white community, may not be telling the truth. Therefore the jury began to see that they possibly could not simply judge someone by their appearance. The quote "...he's the only man in these parts who can keep a jury out so long in a case like that." ...read more.
The way that Atticus behaves with the 'mockingbirds' in this story enforces the message that Harper Lee is trying to get across. The character of Atticus spends much of his time in the novel protecting Tom Robinson, one the story's 'mockingbirds'. Another 'mockingbird' in the plot is Boo Radley and Atticus reacts angrily when he discovers that Jem and Scout have been playing a game that ridicules Boo. Atticus believes that it would be kinder for people to just leave Boo Radley alone. In conclusion there are many reasons why the character of Atticus Finch may be perceived as the nucleus of the novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. The character embodies many of the key themes from the plot including the theme of fatherhood and the contrast he shows against other individuals concerning the theme of racism. The character of Atticus is integral to the plot of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' because his character can influence those around him, either by changing their way of thinking or due to the fact he is a foil character to Bob Ewell. Atticus could be seen as the novel's nucleus because of how he is often used by the author to contribute to the many messages the book delivers such as not convicting those who are innocent and the message of equality. In conclusion without the many facets of the character of Atticus Finch the story of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' could not be told as effectively as it has been done.

IPLab:Lab 3:Bronchopneumonia
Clinical Summary[edit]
This 15-year-old black female sustained third degree burns involving approximately 85% of the body surface. On admission to the hospital, the patient was taken to the operating room where a tracheotomy was performed and her burned body surface was debrided. After a few days of hospitalization, the peripheral white blood count was 41,000 cells/mm³ with a shift to the left. In spite of intensive therapy, which included administration of fluids and antibiotics, the patient expired on the sixth hospital day.
At autopsy each lung weighed approximately 630 grams and was studded with gray nodules which ranged in size from 3 to 6 mm in diameter. In several areas, these coalesced to form nodules having necrotic-appearing centers.
This is a low-power photomicrograph of lung with multiple focal lesions (1) throughout the tissue, some of which have a pale center indicating a loss of parenchymal tissue (2). This is typical of abscess formation in the lung and represents a form of liquefaction necrosis. This pneumonia is bronchopneumonia since the distribution is along the bronchi and the terminal airway distribution throughout the lung. Note that there are some areas of lung which appear relatively normal, having a pale-staining appearance. Other areas, such as in the lower central area (3), are much darker, indicating a heavy cellular infiltrate.
This photomicrograph of the wall of an abscess (1) illustrates liquefaction necrosis in the center of the abscess (2). The remaining lung parenchyma (on the right side of the image) has extensive neutrophilic infiltration into the alveoli (3). This abscess has destroyed a portion of the lung, but other areas of the lung where the normal structure has been retained could recover normal function.
This higher-power photomicrograph shows a central portion of an abscess. Note the absence of any parenchymal lung tissue in this section due to extensive neutrophilic infiltration with liquefaction necrosis of the parenchymal tissue. Masses of leukocytes (primarily neutrophils), fluid ("liquor puris" which is serum, fibrin, etc.), and necrotic debris within an abscess form what is referred to as "purulent material" -- or "pus" in lay terminology. The blue-staining mass in the center of this abscess (arrow) represents colonies of bacteria.

Study Questions[edit]
A "shift to the left" indicates an increased ratio of immature PMNs ("bands") to mature PMNs ("segs") within the peripheral circulation.
Yes, there is usually destruction of alveoli and, in this case, there are abscesses containing bacteria.
Scar tissue would form in the areas of tissue destruction (abscesses).

A normal white blood cell count is 4,000 to 11,000 cells per cubic mm.
A shift to the left indicates an increased ratio of immature PMNs (bands) to mature PMNs (segs).
A normal adult left lung weighs 375 grams (range: 325 to 480 grams). And a normal adult right lung weighs 450 grams (range: 360 to 570 grams).
An abscess is a collection of pus (white blood cells) within a cavity formed by disintegrated tissue.
An abscess is a collection of pus (white blood cells) within a cavity formed by disintegrated tissue.
In alcoholics, aspiration pneumonia is common--bacteria enter the lung via aspiration of gastric contents.
An infiltrate is an accumulation of cells in the lung parenchyma--this is a sign of pneumonia.

"A Dream, Not Reality"
"I've wandered the wilderness for so long and wished for new eyes to see this world.
Untold, unspoiled, unused in wonder, in an overwhelmingly untrodden awe and glow of close, far, above and under.
I recognize each leaf of every tree, each flower bud and blossom, each body of water both fresh and salt(ed) sea.
Separated from mankind, I've pondered the unimaginable. Whirlwinds of thoughts, made of nothing or is it something, I do not seem to know…
Nature's womb my guide, my only means of comfort to be. Mother Gaia has been kind, she makes me feel wanted not forgotten… not completely, utterly or altogether alone, not left to rot or be rotten.
Too many questions made, no one to hear them, but mother yonder. No true answers to be taught, informed or born… only resolutions misspent to misuse, in waste; left to be swallowed in incurious logic and squander. An ignorant base, where everything is known, in a manifested 'SONDER'."
– M. Reed –
"One solar ray glimmered against blackened seas, cloudless skies and a never ending abyss. I looked at this light for a moment or two. It floated on top of the waves while dancing in the dusk, as if knowing it was its last day on Earth. I watched in awe of this shimmer as if it was telling me a story, a secret for only me to know. The last few pieces of today's sun have said their farewells, and yet, this tiny fragment of light remained with me, dancing still. I pondered this quickly, but only became more confused by the logic of it all. Finally, I leaned over to try and grasp it… this glimmer of light, this impossible thing. I never expected to hold such a glow in the palm of my hand but that didn't stop me from reaching for the impossible." – M. Reed

Synopsis: Faye Dunaway is Joan Crawford. A star a legend and a mother. The illusion of perfection.
This is the outrageous and controversial story of legendary movie star Joan Crawford (Dunaway) and her struggle with the deal roles of fading actress and tormented mother. The public Crawford was strong-willed, glamorous and admirable, but Mommie Dearest reveals the private Crawford, the woman desperate to be a mother, adopting her children when she was single and trying to survive in the devastating movie industry. The rage, the debilitating strain, and the terrifying descent into alcoholism and child abuse are graphically – and unforgettably – depicted in this film.
Mommie Dearest 7.25
eyelights: Faye Dunaway's insane performance. its shocking story of Hollywood royalty. Henry Mancini's lush score.
eyesores: Faye Dunaway's insane performance. its trashy TV movie-caliber script. its poor editing. the wrap-up.
"Adopted children are the luckiest because they were chosen."
Take the story of a Hollywood legend. Write an insider's look at his/her life, revealing to the public for the first time the cracks behind the façade. Sell a gajillion copies of the book. Get a major studio to produce a movie adaptation of the book. Hire a recognizable star to play the lead. Land a hit.
Sounds conventional, doesn't it?
And yet the fact is that 'Mommie Dearest', Christina Crawford's exposé on her relationship with mother, Joan Crawford, was one of the first. It was a sensation at the time and is one of the biggest-selling memoirs in the U.S., having moved over 4 million copies of the hardcover alone.
The movie is another first: a camp classic that made a fortune at the box office despite dismal reviews, it is the first motion picture to sweep all of the major categories at the Razzie Awards. It has even been disowned by the original author and its star, who refuses to discuss the film in interviews.
Interestingly, the role of Joan is played by Dunaway, whom in the early '70s Crawford felt was the only actress in Hollywood who "has the talent and the class and the courage it takes to make a real star". She was hardly the first choice, however, as many other stars passed on it first.
Ironically, her performance in the lead role has elicited much controversy and, especially, derision. Even Christina Crawford, who obviously had a love-hate relationship with her mother, felt that she didn't deserve the treatment that she received here, that Dunaway's turn was "ludicrous".
Within a month of release, 'Mommie Dearest' had already gained a cult following and people were flocking to the cinema to watch it armed with wire hangers and Ajax in hand, transforming the experience into a riotously interactive one much in the vein of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'.
It was this cult and camp classic reputation that drew me to 'Mommie Dearest'. There was very little else to pull me in: I know very little about Joan Crawford, having only seen 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?' (and many moons ago) and little clips in 'That's Entertainment!'.
As for Faye Dunaway, she's a terrific actress, but there's something about her that I find off-putting. Is it her reputation for being a diva? Is it her grotesque later-period plastic surgery? Is it her brown teeth? I'm not sure, but something overwhelms her many, many achievements.
In any event, for all its flaws, I wasn't one bit disappointed with 'Mommie Dearest' (named after the title that Crawford asked her daughter to address her with). Granted, it's melodramatic and it portrays its subject as one twisted, sick person – but it's pretty entertaining to watch.
It's particularly notable for the astoundingly demented behaviour on display: Crawford's obsessive-compulsive behaviour and temper tantrums, which led her to mentally and physically abuse her adopted daughter (her son seemed to have been mostly spared, in this account).
At first it seems harsh but innocuous enough: she shows concerns about the attention that Christina gets from the press, then she makes her redo some diving exercises beyond exhaustion, and even forces her to her birthday gifts to charity (under the pretense of keeping her unspoiled).
But soon it gets completely out of hand: Thinking that her daughter is mocking her, she chops her hair off. She also has frequent late-night meltdowns, forcing Christina to scrub her bathroom clean, or going out to chop down the bushes and trees in their yard – and having the kids pick up.
Then there is the infamous wire hanger scene, which is both grotesque and ridiculous at once for two reason: 1) the beating, which is horrible in real life, but so ineptly staged it's risible, and 2) due to Dunaway's performance, looking like a demented clown stalking the room and screeching.
This last scene is the one everyone still talks about; pictures of Dunaway's distorted face can even sometimes be found as an internet meme. At the time, the studio realized they had a camp classic on their hands and started marketing it with the tagline "Meet the biggest MOTHER of them all!".
From a purely objective standpoint, 'Mommie Dearest' is a serviceable docu-drama, covering its subject adequately and serving up decent enough performances – at least, more so than its reputation would suggest. It also does a fine job of aging Crawford over many decades.
However it fails in situating its characters in time. So, although Crawford ages appropriately in tandem with her daughter's age, the passage of time isn't properly established – for example, she appears to have been on the board of Pepsi Cola for only a short while, not a full 14 years!!!
The picture is also marred by a few serious editing issues, with different angle that simply don't match, and various ill-fitting takes that are cut together – the worst of it coming in what should be some of the most shocking scenes, basically neutering them by distracting the audience.
'Mommie Dearest' is a tragic end to a Hollywood royalty's tragic life. Although the victim of the piece is Christina, one can't help but wonder what demons Joan was dueling with her whole life. What led to her erratic behaviour and alcoholism? Could she have been helped and redeemed?
One will always wonder, but the unfortunate reality is that she tumbled from grace and never recovered. And now the world will only remember her for the hysterical portrayal of her in this picture. Is it karmic retribution? Well, given all that she subjected Christina to, one might be inclined to think so.
Clearly, this mother didn't always know best.

Contact: Barb Maynes, 360-565-3005
National Park Service and Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists will hold their annual informational meeting about the Kalaloch razor clam population and projections about this year's razor clam harvest.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 7 from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Washington Department of Natural Resources conference room at 411 Tillicum Lane near Tillicum Park in Forks.
The Kalaloch razor clam population has rebounded after two consecutive years of low numbers and small clam sizes. The annual stock assessment in August showed that the beach has approximately 3.5 million adult clams, with an average size of about four inches. There are numerous small juvenile clams as well, suggesting a strong reproductive season this summer.
Based on this information, Olympic National Park plans to open Kalaloch for razor clam harvest this season, beginning in October, pending satisfactory toxin testing results. Dig dates for October and November will be announced soon.
Kalaloch was last opened for razor clam harvest in spring 2007; low population numbers in late 2007 and 2008 prevented harvest since then. Park biologists believe that the decline was due to the shellfish disease "NIX," also known as nuclear inclusion X. This disease, unique to razor clams, is a naturally occurring bacterium that destroys the clam's gill function. While harmless to humans, high levels of NIX can be fatal to razor clams.
Status and harvest predictions for the state's southern razor clam beaches will also be discussed.

I actually just saw the magazine in Barnes and Noble today, so you can still get a copy if you haven't yet. Anyway, I've tried to use tea tins in the past as a flower centerpiece. I used oasis the last time and poured water directly in the tin. I had problems with leaking and the florist tape not holding the oasis down and it floating out of the tin. But now after reading the magazine:
Ta-da! And the secret is just putting a small cup or vase inside the tin. This is common sense, I know, but it never occurred to me! I used a small sour cream cup I had kept.
Here is a different shaped tin:
Too cool! I know what I'm going to have on the table the next time I have a tea.

Now most that know me, know of this little tidbit….I don't do breakfast. At least willingly. As a matter of fact, this morning out of sheer laziness and maybe a few too many glasses of wine last night, I opted for Jack n the Box for my breakfast hungry family. JITB was my choice because the boys could have their breakfast Jacks while I ate a burger, fries and 2 tacos. Yes, I ate all of that for the "most important meal of the day". You can call me disgusting in the comment section below.
ANYWAY, when you make any meal spicy with a Mexican twist I'll give it a go! This recipe is the happy medium winner that I made for my breakfast loving husband & boys….and myself.
The Starting Lineup
•2 large poblanos
•1 cup potatoes (cubed or even hash brown style)
•4 eggs
•Breakfast sausage links (about 4-5)
•Green onions
•Red onion
•Cotija cheese
•Salt & Pepper
•Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Coat poblanos lightly in olive oil and place on baking sheet under broiler, turning as they char. Once charred & bubbly place in paper bag (school lunch style) and close. Let rest for at least 15 min. You can also place peppers in bowl covered with Saran Wrap.
Meanwhile, add potatoes to a hot pan with a bit of oil & butter and season with a salt, pepper and cumin to taste. Let it get nice and crispy. Cook sausage links according to package (pan or even microwave) and slice into pieces.
While potatoes cook, dice all the veggies and prep the poblanos (peel the waxy skin off, it will come off easily, and carefully slice a slit on one side of pepper and scrape out seeds. Crack eggs into bowl and beat till frothy with a splash of milk.
Once potatoes are cooked, add the eggs right in same pan and scramble with potatoes. Also add in the cooked sausage, onions, tomatoes & jalapeños.
When eggs are almost cooked through take off heat and spoon mix into the peppers. Place filled poblanos on baking sheet and sprinkle the cotija cheese over top. Place in a 375* oven for about 10min.
Garnish with the cilantro and salsa 🙂

Lost in the Hospital
It' s not that I don' t like the hospital.
Those small bouquets of flowers, pert and brave.
The smell of antiseptic cleansers.
The ill, so wistful in their rooms, so true.
My friend, the one who' s dying, took me out
To where the patients go to smoke, IV' s
And oxygen in tanks attached to them —
A tiny patio for skeletons. We shared
A cigarette, which was delicious but
Too brief. I held his hand; it felt
Like someone' s keys. How beautiful it was,
The sunlight pointing down at us, as if

From tax accountant to profit expert in 8 steps
Savvy small business owners have a mantra: "Grow or die." In other words, they recognize that it's a struggle to maintain the status quo indefinitely. Keeping their business thriving requires they continually look for ways to grow, improve, and evolve. For these clients, accountants can occupy a unique position.
By reinventing your role from a quarterly or annual transactional relationship focused on compliance activities, to a more consultative role focused on helping your clients grow their businesses, your expertise allows you to identify areas where they can capture extra profits, reduce the costs of doing business and likely increase ROI. Because they already consider you a trusted advisor, this won't be a giant leap for them. Rather, it would be a matter of taking action on your part to evolve your client relationships to the next level.
Most small business owners don't go into business because they love keeping the books. They want to provide the services they are passionate about. But clients are losing profits that could help them thrive and continue to provide those services and make those sales because they don't know how to recognize opportunities for profitability. Every business needs a profit expert — and that could be you.
Becoming a small business profit expert
While becoming a small business profit expert might require some investment on your part; but it doesn't require a heroic effort or a lot of capital. Here are eight things you can start doing today to take your client relationships to the next level:
1. Evaluate your client list. Because you are privy to information that is not universally available to other advisors, you can do a cursory analysis to determine which handful of clients would not only benefit from this type of relationship, but those with unrealized opportunities you can help them exploit. This investment of a few hours of your time will not only provide potential value to your customers, it will give you an opportunity to start thinking like a "small business profit expert" when you're ready to roll out this new program to more of your clients.
2. Don't be afraid to start small. Depending upon how big your client list is, it might make sense to start with the three or four clients with the biggest potential to get your feet wet and learn the best approach. Once you have a track record, it will likely be easier to reach out to others because you'll have some success stories to share.
3. Learn as much as you can about your client's businesses. In a vacuum, financial reports only reveal so much, but as part of a more complete picture of business health when considered alongside sales and production, the value of your insight can increase exponentially. This means you'll likely need to spend some time with your clients outside of the accounting relationship to learn about how they do business to help you recognize opportunities with a fresh pair of eyes.
4. Be willing to invest in your clients. In other words, launching this initiative may require you to invest unbillable time in these clients to get things off the ground. You may need to demonstrate value before you can start billing for these extra services. You may even decide to call it a pilot program for the first few months with the understanding you will start billing for these services at some point down the road. That will be up to you and the nature of your practice. Remember, this will likely be an unfamiliar idea for them at first, but once your reputation grows as a profit expert, you investment will pay off.
5. Share your high-level cursory evaluation with your chosen few. This could be a good time of year to reach out to your chosen three or four clients. Introduce your ideas, share your initial evaluations, and maybe even make a recommendation or two. Invite them to regularly meet with you so you can learn more about their business, evaluate potential opportunities, and create an action plan. Working together is a critical component of success. In the same way you know things about the business he or she might not, they have insight into the business you don't have.
6. Set a cadence for regularly meeting to get strategic. Depending upon the profit-making opportunities, you will likely need to meet several times a year. Establish a cadence that makes sense and take responsibility on your end to ensure those meetings take place. You likely already have direct access via computer link to the books, so do your analysis before you meet so you can share your insights during the meeting and use the time to make decisions about which opportunities will be pursued and which will wait. This will also become a good time to follow up on previous action plans to evaluate performance.
7. Make performance reporting formal. Take the time to create a detailed report of successes and challenges so you can demonstrate the additional value you're providing. Success is more concrete if it can be captured, put on paper, and referenced for future conversations.
8. Establish any fees associated with this new effort. Understanding there will likely be some things you will be unable to bill for, it's important to determine what you'd like this effort to add to your bottom line. Will this be rolled into your regular fees, be listed as a separate line item, or billed separately? Depending upon the nature of your practice and your relationship with your clients, there are several ways you can do this. Consider the first few clients as an opportunity to learn the best way to approach additional clients down the road.
As a trusted advisor, you're in a unique position to offer advice to your small business clients while making your relationships less transactional and more consultative. If you've already been doing this and have experienced some success, please share those successes here — we'd love to hear about them.

Here are three books that uplift the 60 Minutes newsman.
- Posted on Jun 28, 2010
Byron Pitts' story of overcoming illiteracy has inspired millions, but what stories inspire him?
Here are three books that have guided him on the road to success and continue to help him conquer obstacles today:
1. The Bible
Its truth provides strength, comfort and correction.
2. The Power of Positive Thinking by Dr Norman Vincent Peale
Next to the Bible, it was my mother's guide to living a good and honorable life.
3. Before the Mayflower by Lerone Bennett Jr.
His great work on journey of African Americans from slavery to freedom taught me that history is both alive and personal. We are all connected.

About Sports Management
It is said that sports management can be traced back to ancient Greece with the governance of gladiators and competitors in the Olympics. These days it's a more complicated affair, incorporating the fundamental skills of management such as planning, organising, negotiating, budgeting and reviewing performance.
Professional sport is a multi-million dollar worldwide industry and a career in sports management can involve a range of representative levels, from elite athletes to amateur sports and governing bodies. Career opportunities within the sport management sector include sponsorship and marketing, administration and player management, as well as media and communications.

Project spotlight | Pivoro Elementary School Fundraising Initiative
The goal of this initiative is to raise $65,000 for the construction of classrooms for the school. Pivoro elementary is located in the Catholic Diocese of Damongo, in the Northern Region of Ghana. The Pivoro Primary School is strategically located to provide education to children in and around the Pivoro community. However, the School lacks the facilities and infrastructure needed to provide affordable, quality basic education to children in that community. Some classes are held under trees, and the environment is not safe and conducive for teaching and learning. Construction of a block of classrooms would:
- Provide a safe and conducive environment for teaching and learning.
- Minimize or eradicate the high rate of illiteracy in the area.
- Entice more professional teachers to accept posting to the school.
- Allow poor and needy children the opportunity to go to school.
- Promote academic and spiritual foundation for children in Pivoro community.

Double world champion snowboarder Dmitry Loginov is set to represent Russia at the upcoming Winter Universiade after he was named on a 296-strong team for the event in Krasnoyarsk.
Loginov made history at the recent World Championships in Utah as he became the first athlete to sweep the Alpine snowboarding gold medals.
The 19-year-old was also the youngest to win both the parallel giant slalom and giant slalom competitions at the event.
His presence indicates how seriously Russia is treating the Winter Universiade, due to begin with the Opening Ceremony on Saturday (March 2).
Other notable names on the list of Russians due to participate at their home event include five-time European short track speed skating champion Sofia Prosvirnova.
The 21-year-old has also claimed two World Championships medals and won the women's 1,000 metres race at the International Skating Union World Cup in Dresden earlier this month.
Figure skater Maxim Kovtun, a three-time European medallist, has also been selected.
The Russian team will be aiming to repeat the dominant performance at last Winter Universiade in Almaty in 2017 when they won a total of 71 medals to easily finish top.
Russia's total of 29 gold medals was more than the next three best countries combined.
Their men's and women's ice hockey squads are both expected to be favourites to defend their titles at the event, scheduled to conclude on March 12.
"We will be all cheering for the men and women's national teams in early March during the Winter Universiade," Russian Ice Hockey Federation President Vladislav Tretiak said.
"The task for the each team is to fight for the gold of the ice hockey competitions."
