Start a chat or call us at 1-888-537-6600.\nHi I'm John\nJohn Cusolito, I've been a Mormon for almost 9 years and am serving a Temple mission in Palmyra, NY.\nAbout Me\nI was a good Catholic boy for 65 years but then I prayed about the Book of Mormona and here I am. I'm a retired AF medic and a retired computer guy who met his current wife , a Mormon, in Aug 2001 & married her in Oct just 60 days later. I was baptized 2 years later and began working in the Albuquerque Temple in 2005. I have never been happier in my whole life than I have over the past 11 years. Who knew that living the gospel of Jesus Christ could be this satisfying. Update, as of June 2013 we are serving in the second year of our second mission as Temple Missionaries in the Palmyra, NY Temple. What a blessing.\nWhy I am a Mormon\nI could not deny Joseph Smith. As a Catholic I was used to believing in visitations and in prophets so that the 1st vision and subsequent events leading up to the organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints were never a problem for me. The values and peace I find in giving my life to the Lord make me so happy to wake up every morning.\nHow I live my faith\nI have been an ordinance worker in the Albuquerque, NM temple since Sep 2005, 22 months after joining the church, and am now a serving a mission at the Palmyra, NY temple. I live my faith every day by keeping the commandments and being an example."}

{"text": "Basics of Harvard Computer Science\nNew Questions About Harvard Computer Science\nSimilar to marriage, in selecting a grad program in computer science, you don’t require all to want you, only the best one. With computer science encompassing such a wide selection of sub-fields, you’ll want to choose a program that specializes in the region you’re interested in researching. On the flip side, Physics and Informatics have a great deal of hands-on sections that truly require resourcefulness and novel problem solving.\nYou don’t even have to be interested in engineering generally. You should make certain that the project is impressive though. The last data visualization project are available here. The class work contains one problem set and a set of four programming projects dependent on the Pintos kernel. What has felt unnatural is the quantity of work I do. Dan’s work in the business comprises an impressive collection of awards and publications. Furthermore, the time after class is ideal to fulfill the students and allow them to know that you exist.\nDetails of Harvard Computer Science\nStanford supplies a strong liberal arts education, meaning you own a lot of freedom in designing your coursework. Stanford’s going to require a faculty lounge only for billionaires soon. It believes that non-academic factors, in addition to top academics, help predict who will have a positive impact in the future. Moreover, it is looking for students who will succeed in the future.\nThe aim of the program is to construct a diverse cohort of new researchers in the area. Usually, beyond the top rated few listed previously may also brainstorm your own fields. After you select your field and mentor, obtaining the tenacity and focus to place your creative thinking to the challenge is critical.\nMore information is found on the minor requirement page. First thing is going to be to go through the info above to make sure that you’ve completed the list of necessities. Additional details on Stanford University can be gotten through Stanford’s web website. Though the program description includes CS229 for a prerequisite, I feel a student would benefit far more if they take CS231N BEFORE taking CS229.\nThe Debate Over Harvard Computer Science\nIf you applied to schools wisely, you should receive into a minumum of one program you’re going to be contented with. Each school is a bit different. Various schools want to get students with diverse strengths and interests, thus a school may not consider you an excellent fit for its faculty. “Many schools will require that you take remediation courses should they do not feel you satisfy the course requirements for the graduate program. Just make it more difficult to get into college.\nSome students, however, could want to finish the master’s program before choosing whether to pursue the Ph. D. They are still worried about submitting too many test scores. Many students wish to have into Stanford, among the most prestigious undergraduate institutions in the States. Doctoral students need to take at least 10 courses, together with a plan of study including research. All students would need to be this motivated and so interested in the realm of ideas I believe it’s too difficult to find that may people who are like that. All BS-CS students are needed to consult an academic advisor before registering for classes.\nStudents appear at the LaIR when they’re totally stuck and frustrated. At UMCP, they can also work alongside some of the most distinguished faculty in solving complex issues such as data security problems, online fraud, and other forms of abuse. Two solid choices which you have a fair probability of being admitted to, if you’re a great student ( like Georgia buy cheap essays Tech or Ohio State).\nHarvard Computer Science at a Glance\nMicrosoft and Cambridge University scientists have developed an Artificial Intelligence that could write code. By registering as an on-line learner, you’re also participating in research meant to enhance Stanford’s instructional offerings and the quality of learning and relevant sciences worldwide. When you haven’t done your research, you may not know which platform will do the job best for you. Small-scale lab studies likewise don’t capture emergent results.\nLocate a partner in the event the course allows. Courses taken under the amount of placement are considered duplicating courses. On the flip side, courses which are completely unrelated to computer science wouldn’t usually be appropriate as electives. The course will stay available for a protracted time. If Stanford courses are taken below the degree of the placement training course, the corresponding IB units will be eliminated. Similar courses could be accepted by the steering committee. Make sure you’re taking the toughest STEM courses provided by your school.\nRecent Comments"}

{"text": "ATO rolls out working-from-home deduction ‘shortcut’\nA new, simplified method to calculate home office expenses at an increased rate of 80 cents per hour has now been introduced by the ATO in response to a change in national work patterns.\nUnder the new arrangement, taxpayers will be allowed to claim a rate of 80 cents per hour for all their running expenses, rather than needing to calculate costs for specific running expenses. The requirement to have a dedicated work-from-home area will also be removed, with multiple people in each household allowed to claim the new rate.\nThe new method will cover the period starting 1 March 2020 until 30 June 2020, with the ATO open to extending the method depending on when work patterns start to return to normal.\nThe simplified method will cover all deductible running expenses, including electricity for lighting; cooling or heating and running electronic items, phone and internet costs; and the decline in value of a computer, laptop, home office furniture and furnishings.\nUnder the fixed-rate method, these running expenses were calculated at the rate of 52 cents per hour, with phone and internet expenses and decline in value on computers needed to be calculated separately. The new arrangement will require records of the hours worked at home and can be in the form of timesheets or diary notes.\nThe shortcut method provides a rate of 80 cents per hour and will only require you to keep a record of the number of hours worked from home. This recognises that many taxpayers are working from home for the first time and makes claiming a deduction much easier. The new method will be supplementary to the fixed-rate method and the actual cost method of calculating running expenses, with taxpayers able to choose the appropriate method for their circumstances.\nClaims before 1 March 2020 must be under the two standard approaches. internet.\nThink Accountants Pty Ltd are still open and here to help.

{"text": "Thursday, November 12, 2015\nWinter Squash AgrodolceCheri Savory Spoon November 12, 2015\nGrowing up we always had a vegetable or salad with our evening meal. Which was a wonderful and healthy way to eat back then but…..most of the time they were prepared the same way. Vegetables were steamed and boiled. Salads were always served with bottled dressings, tomato and cucumber. Well times have changed, that was then….. and this is now. Nowadays there are so many cooking resources available that you can always find a way to spice up the food that comes out of your kitchen.\nI notice that sometimes I do the same thing with certain vegetables too. Winter squash happens to be one of them. So when I saw this recipe for Winter Squash Agrodolce in the November Bon Appetit magazine I decided to give it a try. Agrodolce is traditionally a sauce that is made by reducing vinegar and sugar for a sweet and sour flavor. In this case the recipe called for vinegar, honey and raisins with crushed red pepper flakes. When ready to serve the sauce is drizzled over squash that has been roasted until golden brown and tender.\nServe this dish as one of your sides for Thanksgiving, you won’t be sorry.\nIngredients:\n1 2-pound kabocha squash, (peeled, seeds removed and cut into wedges)\n2 tablespoons olive oil\nSalt and pepper ¾ cup red wine vinegar\n¼ cup honey\n2 tablespoons golden raisins\n1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes\nKabocha squash (above)\nTo Prepare:\nPreheat oven to 400 degrees.\nPlace kabocha on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix together. Roast until squash is tender and golden brown about 20 to 25 minutes.\nIn the meantime, in a small sauce pan bring vinegar, honey, raisins and red pepper flakes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer. About 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle half the sauce over squash and the rest when ready to serve.\nThis recipe has been adapted from November 2015 Bon Appetit magazine.\nLabels: holidays, quick and easy, ro<<\nThis sounds like it would be a wonderful side dish for Thanksgiving, Cheri!\nThanks Nancy!\nSo yuumy recipe...can U post a picture of this squash...dont know I ll get it in India or not\nHi Moumita, just added picture for you.....Thanks!\nHi Cheri,\nHmm... I'm not sure if I could find red wine vinegar ... But I like this simple, non fuss yet delicious salad dressing .. yummy!\nThanks Karen, it was delicious!\nOh, you got one of the orange kabocha squashes I've heard about but haven't seen (I don't think, anyway!). Does it taste just like the green ones? Love your creativity with the vegetable dishes. I am so repetitive with how I cook but slowly trying to mix it up. : )\nHi Monica, I have never had the green ones, but I really like the orange. Have a great week-end!\nI bet the sauce is tangy and goes great with the squash. I get into a rut a lot with my weekday meals. I always roast squash the same way - this sounds great so thanks for the inspiration! Have a lovely weekend.\nThanks Trisha, some veggies I am so creative with, others not so much...like this squash. Hope you are having a great week-end.\nI love squash and the sweet, sour and spicy ingredients sound wonderful! One squash I still have yet to try is the Kabocha.\nFunny thing, kabocha is one of my favorites.\nApart from in risotto I've never really tried squash any other way. I'll have to use up pumpkin and squash sitting on my table right now. Maybe this, salad and something crunchy.\nHi Johnny, growing up we never had squash, now we enjoy it all year round, depending on the type and season.\nCheri love this, agrodolce is wonderful. This sounds so good!!\nThanks Suzanne, love this new flavor combo.\nThis sounds delicious! I love this sounds of the sauce on winter squash. I'll definitely give it a try.\nHi Amy, hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Take care!\nLooks delicious...D\nThanks Dena! hope you had a great week-end!\nYour squash looks very delicious! We love it and I will be looking around for kabocha. You have made me curious now! Thanks for the recipe.\nHi Pam, I think that butternut and kabocha are my favorite squash.\nThis is a wonderful way to serve up winter squash. Love it. Thanks for sharing.\nVelva\nThanks Velva, appreciate you stopping by.\nI would try this, but without the raisins :)\nHope you enjoy this as much as we did Tandy. Take care!\nI LOVE winter squash and roasting brings out the best flavour of them.\nHi Angie, I agree, roasting is my favorite way to prepare many of my veggies.\nWe always had a salad on the table when we were growing up too but my mother would always make her own salad dressing. I sure wish we had Thanksgiving in this country xx\nHi Charlie, this might sound funny but Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.\nThis sounds really interesting, I haven't tried anything similar with squash before.\nHi Caroline, we really enjoyed this dish.\nSounds perfect for Thanksgiving. You know, Cheri, even now I get into the rut of serving uninteresting veggies and I really hadn't noticed it until your opening paragraph. I need to change things up a bit, don't I? Thanks for the inspiration!\nHi David, I can't imagine you getting in a rut, I love seeing your weekly recipes, always special.\nI've been tempted to buy one of those kabocha squashes but didn't have a clue of what to do with it. And I love the honey and raisin thing going on with this. Sounds great for Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing.\nThanks Lea Ann, this would be great for Thanksgiving.\nThanks a lot dear..for posting the pic of squash....\nNo problem Moumita!\nLove kabocha...Baked with brown sugar is my go-to. Your vinegar, oil and honey variation is indeed a tantalizing, intriguing way to go =)\nThanks Kim, brown sugar sounds good too!"}

{"text": "Get comfy, because this may turn out to be a long one . . .or maybe not, I'm pretty tired.\nNight Before Race\nMike went to a concert downtown but because I lost my house key at some point during the day, I had his key, meaning he would have to call me so I could let him in the house. By the time I got the kids to bed, got all my stuff together and watched Michael Phelps' race, it was 10:30, meaning at best I had 5 hours of sleep. I kept waking up knowing Mike would call, and then would have a hard time falling asleep, so only slept continuously from about 1:15 - 3:30 a.m.\nLesson Learned #1: Get more sleep.\nPre-Race\nAlarm goes off at 3:30 a.m. and I curse myself for signing myself for this effin' running nonsense. (I don't know about you, but I am generally cranky when I have to get up at 3:30 a.m., so yes, it was in my state of mind, effin' nonense.)\nShower, get dressed, double check that I have the disposable timing chip and go. In the car, I drink sugar-free Red Bull, G2 and eat peanut butter on 2 slices of toast and a Special K protein bar. Leave around 4:20 a.m.\nTraffic is a breeze and driving into the city, I see the Chicago skyline at night for the first time in a long while. Ah, pretty.\nPark and head over to the Race site to meet my cousin Kim, or as she is now known, Chipper Kim. At 5:15 a.m., my sister Jeanine, who is training for the Marathon with us but not signed up for the Half, calls. Amazed when I see the caller ID, I ask why she is up already. \"Already? I haven't gone to sleep yet.\" (She's not a party girl, worked all night on a presentation she will be giving at a conference next week.) She wishes me good luck. Overall, I am feeling pretty good physically and mentally, despite the lack of sleep.\nVisit the Porta Potty; tummy a little upset, I think it is just a bit of nerves. Meet up with Chipper Kim, despite it still being dark out and leaving my glasses in the car. Check in at American Cancer Society tent, and Kim and I get organized with headphones, headband, water bottles, Shot Bloks, etc. and head toward the Start. It's really starting to fill up with people (I think I heard there were 14,000 runners) by now, and before I realized it, the sun is up.\nStart of Race\nThe Chicago Distance Classic employs a wave start, which the novice runner in me wasn't quite sure what that meant. It worked out well though and what I liked about it was that there were several \"starts\" . . . a start for each wave. So even though I was with the last wave (I started between the 11.5 minute/mile and the 12.5 minute/mile pacers) we still were up front for the \"Runners Take Your Marks\" and the horn. Kinda cool because as a back-of-the-pack runner I don't usually hear the start.\nMiles 1 - 3\nI'm feeling pretty good as we start but know that I'm going too fast (for me) and try to slow it down. As much as I hate to admit enjoying another one of my husband's bands, I start out with Spock's Beard's \"Devil's Got My Throat\" on the iPod. (For the life of me I cannot find a video or audio clip to link to, so if you want to hear it, it's on my playlist down on the left. It is a good song for running.)\nThe first bit of incline is near McCormick Place and I remember Terri's post about imagining a balloon tied to my wrist and saying \"floating, floating, floating\" over and over. It helps.\nAs we come up to the first aid station, I kindasortamaybe feel like I might have to go to the bathroom but feel like it's just nerves and I'll be ok so I run past it. A mile later I'm wishing I didn't pass it up because I really need a porta potty.\nMiles 4 - 7\nBasically, I run these miles (and walk some too because my tummy hurts) as simply miles between porta potties. The lines are long but the volunteers are so nice because they are bringing water and Gatorade to us as we wait in line. I realize I am eating up A LOT of time waiting in lines for the porta potties and using the porta potties. Great, I think, my entire race report is going to be about porta potties.\nWhile we're talking about porta potties, can I just say how very odd and strange it is to be um, sitting in a porta potty on Lake Shore Drive? You see, Lake Shore Drive (LSD) is a very, very, very busy street/expressway in Chicago. Karin and Kai know what I mean. Runners had the two right lanes of Lake Shore Drive but the left lane was open to traffic. So I'm in a porta potty basically two lanes away from traffic. Hearing the close roar of traffic and feeling the porta potty shake slightly was a little disconcerting.\nLesson Learned #2 - Figure out what upsets tummy and avoid it before race.\nMiles 7 - 9\nI am so glad to be at the halfway point (which we find out later was slightly more than halfway due to a course certification error) and calculating the time, I realize I am moving a lot slower than planned. I'm running/walking a lot because of my tummy issues (and of course, visiting the porta potties) I'm also repeating the Spock's Beard song and Carolina Liar's \"I'm Not Over\" (a recommendation from Flo) a lot because I'm finding it hard to focus. Is it because of tummy issues or is it because I'm getting flustered because even the really slow runners are passing me up? Not sure.\nLesson Learned #3 - Learn to forget about the other runners. I'm not trying to beat them, just trying to finish.\nMiles 9 - 13.1\nMy feet hurt. Really hurt. I find myself looking on the ground hoping to come across a machete on the ground so I can chop my feet off at my ankles. While I know this violent image wasn't the time of visualization technique Terri had in mind, it (in a creepy way) still works.\nStill running/walking. Still visiting porta potties.\nOn my way to the finish with (imagined) painless stumps instead OMGithurts feet, I do take time to admire the Chicago skyline and the lakefront because it is a beautiful day for a run.\nSo I finish (an embarrassingly slow time but I take solace that there were still 400 or so people behind me) and meet up with Chipper Kim, who was waiting around for 45 minutes, maybe longer.\nLesson Learned #4 - Having family and friends on the course really helps me mentally and breaks up the miles. (Family, friends, don't worry about getting me a birthday gift in October, just come down to the Marathon. It will help me A LOT!)\nSpeaking of embarrassed, I haven't run since the Half. A whole week. Not sure what my problem is really. It started off with a couple days rest and turned into a whole week. I just haven't looked forward to running (not good with the Marathon is less than two months away.) I was more \"in the grove\" and motivated last year . . .you'd think I'd be more motivated now after getting a taste of the Marathon last year. Not sure if this will make any sense but I think that because I do have a better sense of what's in front of me with the Marathon, I'm more terrified than last year and in a way, overwhelmed I guess. So instead of training like a madwoman I'm avoiding it? Not sure if that's what Freud would say. In any case, I'm going to try to change that tonight and get back on the treadmill.\nI also signed up for the other Chicago Half Marathon (in September.) I really need to practice focusing while there are other runners around.\n55 days and counting . . .\n7 comments:\nGreat recap! I love hearing what everyone's races were like and what they learned. I need all the help I can get.\nCongratulations! Sounds like it was a good experience.\nWe're going to a wedding in Chicago in the beginning of September so I have to run 16 miles that Sunday morning while I'm there. I'm open to suggested routes. Starting point is about a mile from Navy Pier.\nSorry about the tummy issues. Sounds like it put a big damper on the race for you. And though I have never been to Chicago, the thought of using a porta pottty in the middle of any downtown street would be odd. Anyway - you ran it and finished it, which is still amazing to me! Congrats!\nI enjoyed your recap. I wish I had a better mile-by-mile breakdown of my race, but honestly... there were big parts that were just miles passing by in the darkness...\nThere was only one porta-potty on the course for the race I did. Everywhere else people were expected to use the bushes. I can't imagine if I had been feeling sick.\nThe eating/running thing is so hard to figure out. It sucks that everybody is so different too, because it would be so much easier if we could just open a manual and read, \"Eat this, not this, this much time before you run.\".\nYou know what is really funny?? Parts of your race report very well could have been written by me.\nWhen is your birthday? Odd enough, my marathon and birthday are also in October. Your race happens to fall the day before my bday and then my race is the week after. And I would love it if my fam showed up for my marathon in place of the bday.\nI will say that I became more terrified for my marathon after running my half. I haven't run much because of my knee injury but that isn't why I'm nervous. I know how hard it was to pull through that half...the marathon is just going to be that much harder. And I trained hard for that half and it was still hard! But hey, you know...with a good group like the VRC, we'll make it through.\nGreat race recap!! Hope to see ya training up a storm again soon :-)\nHey chica - Its amazing to me that you can remember the blow-by-blow of the run. Oh, and its hilarious. Glad to hear you're doing the half in Sept - me too. My sister is running too, and she is having knee issues, so we're thinking running 3, walking 1, running 3, etc..so, if you're interested in a very laid back race, let me know and you can hang with us!\nI hear you on last year vs this year. I don't know if its so much that I'm terrified, but I definitely know better this year. I think if its 55 and cloudy on 10/12, we'll be good!\nHang in there, take it slow & keep going."}

{"text": "Christian Tetzlaff, Philharmonia Orchestra / Esa-Pekka Salonen (above)\nRoyal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, London\nThursday 26 September 2019\nHindemith Rag Time (well-tempered) (1921)\nJ.S. Bach arr. Schoenberg Two Chorale Preludes: Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele BWV654; Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geist BWV667 (1925)\nBerg Violin Concerto (1935)\nHindemith Mathis der Maler Symphony (1934)\nreviewed by Ben Hogwood\nThis year the Philharmonia Orchestra have been exploring the music of Weimar Berlin as it was in the 1920s and 1930s, with fascinating results. Their most recent concert, subtitled Dreams and Demons, may have been relatively short, but it gave plenty of food for thought and the musical rewards were considerable.\nA rather older composer who worked in Weimar made himself known throughout the concert, for the music of Johann Sebastian Bach was quoted, refracted and alluded to in each of the four pieces on the programme. Firstly we heard the opening notes of the Prelude in C minor from The Well-Tempered Clavier, part of an affectionate and brilliantly ‘worded’ joke by Hindemith, whose Ragtime started the concert with a swagger. Esa-Pekka Salonen clearly enjoyed its gruff humour, but found the touches of elegance beneath the surface too.\nThe Ragtime’s surge to the close in E flat minor blossomed with a cleverly executed join into the first of two Bach chorale prelude arrangements by Schoenberg. Here we wondered at his audacious orchestration, taking on what he saw as ‘the first twelve tone music’ and sharing it around the orchestra with typically inventive pointing towards the melodies. Timothy Walden’s cello probed elegantly at the inner melodic lines of Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele, while the exuberant close of Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geistdrew heralded the Hindemith work we were about to hear.\nBerg’s Violin Concerto quotes from a Bach chorale, Es ist genug (It is enough) at the height of its remembrance of Manon Gropius, daughter of Alma Mahler. Subtitled To the Memory of An Angel, the work traverses a wide range of emotions in its thought processes, from brief oases of calm to fraught periods of activity. The clarinets of the Philharmonia, in all ranges, were superb, whether in the lighter Ländler theme of the first movement or the solemn chorale itself, their imitation of a pipe organ ghostly and – when the solo violinist’s harmonics were in play – ethereal. This was because soloist Christian Tetzlaff (above) also brought a wide range of sounds to the piece, from the fragility of the opening strings of the start to the surging faster music where he took the music by the scruff of the neck. His was a technically brilliant yet musically sensitive performance, closely joined to Salonen’s deft work with the orchestra.\nAll the while this wonderful piece was heading for the final bars and the ultimate rest, the sort of chord you would want to go on forever as Berg’s orchestral colours mingle with the highest note the violin reaches in the whole piece. Together Teztlaff and Salonen ensured the pacing was ideal, helped considerably by the light and shade of the Philharmonia’s contribution.\nAfter the interval came a regrettably rare chance to hear some Hindemith in the concert hall in the shape of the Mathis der Maler Symphony, a three-movement work drawn from the opera of the same name. This oft-maligned composer exerts a good deal of influence on the tonal music of the second half of the 20th century, more than he is credited for, and his own works are instantly recognisable. Nor, as Salonen and the Philharmonia illustrated, is there a lack of colour or personality in his orchestral writing.\nThis was a superb performance of a piece Salonen clearly holds close to his heart, having conducted it at the Proms and recorded it for Sony in 2004. The expectant hush from the strings at the start was magical, the effect like walking into a sacred building, and this was reinforced by a solemn intonation of a chorale from the trombones, those Bach influences coming quickly to the surface. Salonen’s slower tempo here worked well.\nThe silvery strings enjoyed the moments of confluence in Hindemith’s writing, with the added note chords allowed to breathe, but Salonen was not above letting the grittier parts of the music off the leash, pushing forward through the faster phrases. The Philharmonia woodwind and brass were superb, the bell-like clarity of their playing bolstered by deeper shades. With all these qualities noted, Engelkonzert (Angelic Concert) unfolded beautifully, with a grand sense of ceremony at the end, while in response Grablegung (Entombment) was initially thoughtful, its ruminative woodwind then replaced by a brass-dominated climax which Salonen controlled immaculately.\nMost dramatic of all was Versuchung des heiligen Antonius (The Temptation of Saint Anthony), with a ravishing tone from the Philharmonia strings at the outset. As it progressed the movement had a terrific cut and thrust, its tension released with impressive stature in the closing pages. Mathis der Maler is a wonderful score, one of Hindemith’s finest achievements – and by no means the only peak of his orchestral output. Here it put the seal on a fascinating and immensely rewarding concert, with superb musicianship throughout.\nFurther listening\nYou can hear the music played in this concert on the Spotify playlist below, including Salonen’s account of the Mathis der Maler symphony:\nThis playlist offers a broader view of Hindemith’s orchestral output, with the ballet suite Nobilissima Visione, the Concert Music for Strings and Brass and the vastly underrated piece for piano and orchestra The Four Temperaments:"}

{"text": "Evaluating Progress with Your Inclusiveness Blueprint\nConsider the following two variables as you develop a plan for evaluating the progress you make in implementing the inclusiveness blueprint:\n- The progress you are making in achieving intended outcomes.\n- The progress you are making toward completing the steps outlined in the inclusiveness blueprint itself.\nMeasuring Outcomes An outcome is a specific, measurable result you hope to achieve to become more inclusive. Some outcomes are easier to measure than others.\nFor example, if the outcome you desire is that at least 40 percent of people served will be from communities of color, then you can probably measure that figure accurately without too much strain on the organization, especially if your organization provides direct services.\nHowever, if the outcome you desire is that your organization's reputation and profile will significantly improve among people of color in your catchment area, that will be harder to measure. It is, of course, possible to measure this outcome; it will just take creativity and financial resources to pay someone to measure attitudes. You also may need to pay someone to take an initial poll of attitudes and then go back to assess whether attitudes have changed over a given period of time, especially if you seek scientifically accurate data. The question is whether you really need to gather scientifically accurate, formal statistical data or not. An alternative method to assess progress made on this type of outcome is to conduct informal surveys, such as the surveys conducted during the information-gathering phase of this website, and to analyze changes in attitudes based on new survey findings. Or your organization might want to pursue using the services of graduate students, who may be willing to work as interns for your organization or for lower rates than professional evaluators.\nYour organization should decide how much time, money, and energy to put toward evaluating progress made on outcomes based on a realistic assessment of your available resources.\nComplete A Plan to Evaluate Outcomes.\nTracking Progress Toward Completing Blueprint Objectives\nTracking and Documenting Lessons Learned\nOngoing Feedback Loops and Reassessment\nI don't know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.\nRalph Abernathy\n- Introduction\n- Step 1: Creating Structure\n- Step 2: Consultants/Training\n- Step 3: Making the Case\n- Step 4: Gathering Info\n- Step 5: Creating a Blueprint\n- Step 6: Implementing the Blueprint\n- Sample Documents\n- Next Steps for Your Organization\nPost new comment"}

{"text": "All couples hoping to adopt through Lutheran Social Services of Montana are required to complete a two-and-a-half day workshop. This gives you an opportunity to get to know us, ask questions, gain insight into the adoption process and determine whether adoption is the right choice for you now. You’ll also meet other couples who are considering adoption, who understand what you are going through, and with whom you can share mutual support. Workshops generally include presentations from adoptive families and birthparents who have already been through this process. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain information from their perspective.\nThis workshop provides extensive education about the legal and medical issues relating to adoption and gives a comprehensive view of open adoption. At the conclusion of the workshop, couples are prepared to begin their home study process and develop their personal profiles. We all enjoy coming together for these workshops, and we look forward to spending this valuable time with you."}

{"text": "On Pieces We Are, Northwest singer/songwriter Kris Orlowski partners with accomplished composer /violinist Andrew Joslyn to produce a sophisticated 5-track sonic journey, shedding light on the hearts of talented dreamers. This EP is more than just a collection of songs, it's bringing the Seattle art community closer together.\nOrlowski and Joslyn enlisted the help of a 17-piece orchestra on Pieces We Are, comprised of some of the finest musicians in the Northwest (a formidable accomplishment in itself, indeed). They also asked photographers, videographers, a jewelry designer, and performance artists to create visual interpretations of each track.\nWatch the teaser for Pieces We Are above. Also noteworthy on this new EP, the noble revision of The Cure's classic In Between Days. But without a doubt, our current favorite tune is the triumphant lead track All My People Go. Download that track for FREE by clicking here. A better suggestion would be to purchase the entire song collection off iTunes for a minimal fee ($4.95) HERE, or visiting your favorite local Seattle record store (ours happens to be Silver Platters in Queen Anne). Cheers, FYM."}

{"text": "RECAP: The idea that young adults value urban living and the flexibility of renting above all else is a misconception. The Los Angeles Times says that affordability is the main driver of decisions made by millennial households. Reports by Zillow and Harvard found that Millennials want to live in the suburbs, where homeownership makes more financial sense than renting an expensive apartment in an urban center. Nearly half of all millennial homeowners live in the suburbs, compared to 33 percent who live in the city. The idea was if millennials could afford to purchase a home, they would, and did so in low-cost markets like Birmingham, Detroit, Minneapolis and St. Louis.\nA weekly digest of current trends in housing and community development. The discussion examines topics from infrastructure to community fabric.\nMillennials Desire Affordable Homeownership In the Suburbs\nL.A. Finally Has The Money To Fight Homelessness. Here's How Architecture Can Help The CauseRECAP: In the last two elections, Los Angeles voters overwhelmingly supported both Proposition HHH and Measure H, which combined will permanently rehouse thousands of people living on L.A.’s streets and provide services to keep tens of thousands more from falling into homelessness in the first place. Lingering NIMBYism (Not In My Backyard) combined with soaring housing costs will make acting on the promise of Proposition HHH and Measure H a challenge. It is here where architecture may be able to provide some assistance. Together two USC professors developed “Homes for Hope” — a flexible, affordable and code-compliant solution for bridge housing. This isn’t permanent supportive housing. It’s a steppingstone — a dignified place to get one’s bearings and stop the free fall.\nRECAP:.\nIn Chicago and Philadelphia, the Difference a Park Makes\nTrulia gives pets the whole “pawspective” with new For Sale and Rental pawperty detail pagesRECAP: The cat is officially out of the bag! Just like their two-legged companions, pets want to live in a place that suits their individual lifestyle and sense of self. They want to put paws down close to their fur friends in a forever home. Finding the right home quickly and easily is crucial to living a long and happy life, for any species. Our goal at Trulia is to make finding a home easy and enjoyable, so we’re excited to announce the launch of for sale and rental listings for pets on Trulia. Trulia added neighborhood petmenities, like big climbing trees for cats and fire hydrants for dogs, so pets can easily get the scoop on how a pawperty’s neighborhood stacks up against the rest. Each petmentity is given a rating, so our feline friends can see that bird watching in a pawperty’s neighborhood is “above average,” or that the amount of “needy humans” in the area is “lowest,” cluing them in to so much more than just the home."}

{"text": ".\nKim Gibson moved to New Orleans almost eight years ago and worked as a selector for TeachNOLA for five years. Prior to that she taught high needs early education students in Austin, Texas and did community development with low income neighborhoods as well as teaching Spanish in St. Louis, Missouri. But it’s been her experiences as a parent of four children, who have been a part of four different New Orleans charter schools that inspired her to start NOLA Micro Schools as part of Launch Cohort 10.\nShe knew all of her children learned differently and not all of their educational needs were being met. So, she sought a smaller classroom environment. Gibson said as a micro school, once they reach full capacity K-12, it will have fewer than 150 students. NOLA Micro Schools believe that being small enables them to be nimble and therefore have better access to local professionals creating a “porous wall” relationship with this amazing city. They envision porous walls providing a school with local experts coming in to classrooms teaching their area of expertise and having students go out to have hands-on experience.\nThe idea of NOLA Micro Schools came about after a few years of watching one of my kids in particular struggle to find her passion regarding learning. As a parent I have been constantly trying to stay up to date on what options are available for the students in our city regarding schools. After having a discussion with Matt Candler about Acton Academy in Austin, I spent a lot of time looking into their vision and mission that focuses on student-driven learning. The results they are having are incredibly positive and led me to look more into the idea of small (micro) schools who pay careful attention to the best use of their resources including staffing in order to provide the most strategic learning for their students.\nTiming was a big part of Launch for me. I met part of our team, Oskie Creech, just prior to the Launch application deadline, and we figured why not at least apply and see what happens. I knew Launch would provide the support, community, insight and challenges that we would need to move us forward, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be apart of this program. It has allowed me to meet some incredible people, to be a part of a cohort that was full of fun talented people, and encouraged me to pursue my passions full-force.\nBeing a parent is what brings my views on education home. I know all kids do not learn the same way, because I see that in my household in how different each of my children are. Being a parent is what inspires me to move forward with our school to provide more opportunities for other children as well as my own. Being a parent has also allowed me to empathize as best as I can with other parents, and to continually remind me of why we are doing this. Being a parent has also enabled me to get to know many kids around this city and see how they are uniquely gifted to change the world.\nMy biggest challenge now is continuing to spread the word about our school and finding all of the families that will make up our first year’s enrollment. I am very excited to see how the community of NOLA Micro Schools develops and getting to know the remarkable children that will be our first students!\nFind out more about NOLA Micro Schools at nolamicroschools.org\nL.

{"text": "“Creativity is not a competition,” host Ruben Santiago-Hudson announced at the outset of Monday’s 47th annual Obie awards—which boast no nominations, no ruthless campaigning, no hard feelings. Daniel Aukin, winner of a directing laurel for [sic], proclaimed the ceremony “glamorous,” but a truly glitter-addled crowd wouldn’t have spanned sartorial choices that ranged from playwright Suzan-Lori Parks’s dungarees to presenter Mary-Louise Parker’s trenchcoat-over-floodpants ensemble to Maria del Bosco‘s Juliana Francis in gloves and plunging neckline to Martha Plimpton in a platinum Marilyn coif. (She accepted her Hobson’s Choice citation from her godmother, co-host Karen Kandel.) The closest the Obies came to your garden-variety awards fete was in the sweetly breathless cohesion of the speeches. Most popular nouns: journey, gift, brilliance, and thrill; top two adjectives: brilliant and thrilling. Shortest speech, courtesy of lighting designer Kevin Adams, in its entirety: “It’s thrilling. Thank you.”\nThe most verbose of those who ascended the Webster Hall podium was, unsurprisingly, Homebody/Kabul scribe Tony Kushner (“Thank you for giving me an Obie for the whole play, not just the first act”), while the biggest star also delivered the most sizable oration: Topdog/ Underdog‘s Jeffrey Wright rambled endearingly about a trip to Sierra Leone and his seven-month-old while rubbing his shaved head meditatively. Topdog‘s multiple prizes spun a dizzy circle: After director George C. Wolfe gave Wright his plaque, he nabbed one from playwright and presenter Suzan-Lori Parks. Natty, quippy Wolfe also accepted on behalf of the ageless legend he directed in Elaine Stritch at Liberty, and kindly compensated for her absence by citing his favorite Stritchism: “What?! I can’t hear you, I’m yelling!” Apropos of little, Drummer Wanted set designer Angela Moore—decked out in hoodie and floor-length gown—gave a shout-out to her brother for stealing her Pantera and Slayer CDs; eponymous Monster Christopher Donahue expressed his gratitude to “the entire cast, almost all of whom I killed, every night.”\nA running motif was erstwhile small-town kids reminiscing about how they used to beg, borrow, and steal this very paper; Metamorphoses director Mary Zimmerman’s speech (read by actor Kyle Hall) invoked the nightmare headline “Midwesterners Attempt Play.” Kicking off the trend was In On It playwright Daniel MacIvor, who said he used to purchase one of two copies of the Voice available each week at Big Ben’s Newsstand in Sydney, Nova Scotia. (The other consumer was “Ron, the Gay Guy—there was only one.”) According to MacIvor, a friend told him that “going to the Obies is like going to someone else’s bar mitzvah—[but] it isn’t, so thank you for the nice bar mitzvah.” Mazel tov."}

{"text": "Inside\nI do believe my mother loved me. She’d invested our Grünenthal settlement money well and lived frugally herself so I’d have enough after her death, and with my inheritance I was able to buy a house—a foreclosed home in a leafy town not far from the city. The house, a scruffy abandoned place offered as-is at public auction, would be my new purpose in life: I would transform it into a haven lovely and serene. There was much to do. Things had been left behind: soggy boxes, broken chairs, a doorless cabinet, and in the corner of the living room, a heap of shoes and boots in all sizes, from toddler to large man.\nI had the means to hire people to clear the place out, but I like the feel of physical labor. My two legs are rock-solid—impressive for any fifty-five-year-old woman—and so are my one and a half arms. I rented a 20-yard roll-off dumpster, now lodged at the curb in front of my house, and commenced clearing debris, load after load of old cookware, moldy children’s books, a bent bicycle, the boots. Of course, I made more trips than someone with two hands would have: that was the point, to feel the muscles of my body work to near exhaustion. The larger boxes I gripped with my right hand and rested against my left shoulder, my left limb raised high to balance them. I’m lucky to have the arm down to the elbow—many thalidomide babies have only a bulbous lump at the shoulder—and I’m lucky to have my two fingers attached to the stump, though I know it’s the fingers—thick and flipper-like, sprouting from an elbow—that upset people.\nI began clearing mid-morning and worked without a break, not even for lunch. I don’t especially like eating. The early September sun was strong, and I loved the tickle of sweat on my skin. At twilight, a coolness descended, bringing with it a trace of autumn scents. Overhead viridian leaves had begun their morph into yellow ochre, crimson, raw sienna. I was enjoying this vivid scene, shuttling crap out of my kitchen, when the gold Highlander rolled up, parked at the foot of my dumpster, and discharged a blond man. Laptop case in hand, striding toward the front door of the house next to mine, he shot me a few smiley glances before slipping inside.\nI’d been too busy with my work and dreams of my house transformed to notice anything about the neighbors. I paused now to examine the house next door. It was grander than mine, new construction built to look authentic, like a classic American four-square, sided in moss-colored vinyl. My home did not need to pretend to be original—it was: stucco and clapboard, its wide roof rising to a modest point, a dormer crouching beneath, its window like a single peering eye, slightly sinister. My place was quirky; I loved it. My front yard was not too big—perfect. Then I saw, on the neighbors’ short elm-shaded lawn, toys: a miniature football embedded in the grass, a Barbie convertible. Children. Children, right next door. I flung a box into my dumpster, went in for another, and when I re-emerged, the blond man was coming toward me, across our connected lawns, wearing jeans and a tee shirt now, smiling with many teeth in a big bald face and saying, “Howdy! I’m Steve! Need a hand?”\nOf course, this happens to me all the time: the words handy, handle, handful pop into the speech of well-meaning strangers who are then mortified, their eyes leaping open with embarrassment. Steve’s face drained of color.\n“I’m fine,” I quipped. “I like it.”\nFor a moment we stared at one another, my inscrutable reply lodged between us. What had I meant by “it”? A thoughtless comment? His hand? He nodded, ashen, and I bleated, “I’m Marlis. Nice to meet you”—a ridiculous abrupt attempt to seem affable. I continued down my walkway, and, I suppose, he went back into his house.\nIn my defense, I’m not accustomed to interacting with people. It’s not that I’m unfriendly; I don’t dislike people. But decades of experience have conditioned me to expect discomfort from strangers. To avoid looking at my deformed arm, they look at my face, which is also not terribly pleasing. I had not inherited my mother’s German beauty; I’d gotten my American father’s peculiar mix of Scottish, Dutch, Lithuanian, and Navajo—a sagging chin, winding nose, narrow eyes. An American soldier stationed in West Berlin in the 1950s did not have to be handsome to snag a gorgeous German wife. So people couldn’t say of me, she has a pretty face. Beyond this, I’m a classic introvert. I’ve never had that oversized, loud-story-telling personality that American culture has deemed “good.” All my life, my main companions were my mother and myself, and while my mother was generally melancholy, I’m pretty good company—I read a lot, paint landscapes in oils, enjoy documentaries on DVD, listen to National Public Radio, investigate topics on the Internet. For many years I worked as a freelance copyeditor for textbook companies—until they thought Spellcheck could replace me—so I’m familiar with a variety of subjects. And now I have this house, which I intend to transform into a thing of beauty, and after I do, I will adopt two orange cats, whom I will name Butch and Sundance. The thought of this floods me with contentment.\nNight fell, and I worked at scouring the kitchen. The linoleum was revolting, no matter how much I scrubbed it, the pattern a sort of grim gray crosshatch. I couldn’t wait to rip it up. I washed down the laminate countertops and the windowsill and discovered I could see directly into the neighbors’ window. Our houses were at most five feet apart. So I flipped off my lights and indulged in some neighborly spying. There was Steve, all shiny, standing behind a kitchen island stocked with wicker baskets of fruit and gourds. Beside him was a woman, undoubtedly Mrs. Steve—a busy blonde as tall as he was. She wore a tight sequined Minnie Mouse tee shirt, and her mouth was chattering. In front of the kitchen island, on two cherrywood spindle-back chairs, squirmed two children—a girl, maybe five, even blonder than her parents, and a boy, maybe three, a redhead. The children were eating the last of their cookies, showering the tabletop with crumbs, as their parents merrily rinsed and stacked the dishes in the dishwasher. I couldn’t hear them, of course, but I watched until their kitchen was tidy, their tabletop wiped with an elegant swoop of an arm, and their window went dark.\nAfter a week in my new house, I had to berate myself for my lack of progress. I’d cleared the main floor but had not yet started on the basement, and the dumpster had to be returned. Cracks were half spackled, loose floral wallpaper only half pulled off walls. I was wasting too much time spying on the Hamiltons. That’s who they were—Steve and Sherri Hamilton. I knew this because The Hamiltons was written across their mailbox in metal curlycue script, and one day when they were out, I peeked inside it and found magazines addressed to “Sherri.”\nWhy did I find them so irresistible? I had a theory. It was not that I envied them. I’ve lived long enough to know that marriage is not what it’s promised to be, and I’d never wanted children. More women feel this way than is generally suspected. My fascination with the Hamiltons, I believe, was a way of grieving my mother. I watched this window-framed couple and their perfect children in modern-day Norman Rockwell poses and thought, here was the life my mother had dreamed of, anticipated, expected. Instead, she got eight decades of guilt and self-punishment, living with the devastating consequences of what she did not know—first, that her beloved homeland was destroying whole races of people, and second, that taking thalidomide for nausea during pregnancy caused malformed fetuses. How could she have known? Poor Mother, prone to fits of apology for taking the drug. I don’t recall a time when I didn’t know my deformity was “her fault.” She would cry at the kitchen table, and I would comfort her with one-armed hugs. By contrast, she never spoke of her childhood in Nazi Germany. When I was a teenager, I asked her about the bombing of Berlin. “It was very bad times,” she said, “I survived,” her tone riddled with regret. She was fourteen in 1945. I never asked if she’d been taken through the death camps to witness the piles of gaunt corpses. She wouldn’t have answered. Once I said, “It was lucky your family lived on the west side,” and she nodded, still not happy. She had no words to describe the Communists. The only trace of her childhood was a photograph of her, age eight, folded into the arms of her lovely round-faced mother, surrounded by the happy handsome faces of her older brothers and father, all in Nazi uniforms. The brothers had died in battle, and her father had simply vanished after the war, leaving his wife and daughter to live in the rubble by themselves. I knew this only because my father had told me.\nOnce I said, “It was lucky you met Dad,” and she nodded. He was a good man—too quiet, perhaps; a little homely; not really what she had in mind; but he was a decent man. He’d brought her to the U.S. just before the Berlin Wall went up. I know she missed him when he died—too young, from cancer—but I could also tell she took his loss to be part of her punishment.\n“Mom,” I said out loud one evening as I spied on the Hamiltons, as though calling her to come see. “Mom”—and I was overwhelmed with sadness, thinking what a bad deal she’d gotten in life.\nThe second Sunday in my house, someone knocked on my door. It was the little Hamilton girl. “Hello,” she said, composed and grown up, her face corrugated on the other side of the screen. “My name is Emma,” she smiled, and I smiled and wondered why every little girl these days was named Emma. Eventually I said, “I’m Marlis.”\nShe held out a plastic bag of tomatoes and cucumbers. “These are from our garden. Mommy said I could bring them if I didn’t stare at your arm.”\n“Oh.” I opened the screen door and took the bag with my normal hand. “Tell her thank you.”\n“Did you get it caught in a machine? Daddy’s Uncle Tony got his caught in a machine.”\n“No,” I replied, truly hoping the Hamiltons were not scheming to set me up with their one-armed Uncle Tony. “I was born this way.”\nEmma craned forward to better see the oddity. It was my habit, when speaking to people, to keep my left arm tucked behind my back. Then Emma peered into my face. “Once I got babysat by Jamie Kitchka.” We gazed at each other, my hazel eyes fixed on her cerulean ones.\n“Who is Jamie Kitchka?”\n“The girl that used to live here.”\n“Oh.” And I wondered aloud, “How long ago did that family leave?”\n“I don’t know. Years and years. Where did they go?”\n“I don’t know.”\nShe pressed her face into a frown. “They got ejected.”\n“Did your parents say that?”\nShe nodded solemnly.\n“Do you think they said ‘evicted’?”\nThe nodding stopped and she burst into giggles, “Oh, yeah.”\nI grinned and wanted her to go away. “Okay. Good-bye, Emma.”\n“Bye!” she sprinted off, and I stood with a bag of produce that would go bad before I could eat it.\nOf course, the far greater burden was this new information I’d received. For two weeks I’d been throwing out a family’s belongings unthinkingly, incuriously. Now the family had a name—the Kitchkas. Was that Polish? Czech? I couldn’t help but feel I’d displaced them—at the least, I’d benefited from their misfortune, and I’d been too self-absorbed to even wonder about them. Now, as I worked to clear the basement of their dust-topped boxes, I was compelled to open each one first and sift through the contents. The Kitchkas appeared to have several children, or a few children who had way too much stuff. Little shirts and shorts and dresses—I should be giving these things to charity, not dumping them into landfills. Valuable moments were lost as I held up every red racecar shirt and purple bunny jumper to see if its condition merited donation. Then I found the box of photos.\nThey were old-fashioned snapshots—four-by-sixes in stiff yellow drugstore envelopes. There were photos of Christmas morning, of children blurrily ripping open gifts. One featured a little girl—Jamie?—posing with her new karaoke machine. The next several pictures were of this girl, her brown hair smoothed back and clipped with a plastic Disney princess, singing into the microphone, surrounded by clapping adults. Aunts and uncles? It was odd to see these cold still images with no sound. Somewhere, I hoped, the Kitchkas had video of her performance.\nThe snapshots were endless: babies, toddlers, a mongrel puppy. Surely the Kitchkas hadn’t meant to leave these behind. Surely they would want them back. Slowly an idea assembled itself in my brain: I could try to find the Kitchkas. I could find them and return their treasured belongings. Yes, I could do this. The thought of it pumped me with the feel of helium: what a good person I’d be!—a person who cared about strangers, and acted on it. I imagined the Kitchkas flinging open their door to me, throwing their grateful arms around me.\nMy mother would have been appalled. She’d often lectured, in her jumbled idiom, that I was never to “stick my foot” into other people’s business. My mother believed in privacy and self-sufficiency. We never hosted dinner parties or chatted with neighbors. She stayed inside, and she wanted me with her. All my childhood I’d heard, “You don’t have to go, Marlis”—to whatever—someone’s birthday party, a play at school. I could still hear her cottony voice. You don’t have to go, Marlis, she’d say, with a stutter of hope that I wouldn’t. Stay inside today, Marlis.\nI’ve wondered if it was the Nazi in her—was she ashamed of having produced an imperfect child? Or was she trying to protect me, worrying about the Nazi in other people, even in a nice place like Illinois? In either case, it hardly improved my chances in the world—being hidden away like a family secret, kept close to a guilt-ridden woman so overcome with anxiety that it sloshed over onto me. I’d tried making forays into the world, but always somehow found myself back in her shadow, treating myself as she’d treated me, hiding myself away. In my thirties, I diagnosed myself with social anxiety disorder. I bought The Idiot’s Guide to Enhancing Your Social IQ. It was helpful.\nPerhaps, I thought now, the Kitchkas were my opportunity to start becoming who I’d always admired: people who go out in the world and entangle themselves with others. I unearthed a silver-framed, eight-by-ten J. C. Penney portrait of a young couple humped proudly over their toddler—the dark-haired girl, in a red velvet Christmas dress. The mother looked pregnant, vaguely Hispanic. They were beautiful people, glossy and bright. I took the photo upstairs and posed it on my mantel.\nMy Internet search for “Kitchka” was not productive. A depressingly large number of obituaries appeared on my screen, though they were all for elderly Kitchkas. No information on the geographic distribution of Kitchkas was available, though I don’t know why I wanted to know that. I was pummeled by pop-up ads for Ancestry.com and other products intent on collecting my personal data. I learned that “Kishka” refers to Jewish recipes. “Jamie Kitchka” yielded nothing. Of course, I don’t do Facebook.\nSo the next time I spied the Hamiltons in their backyard, I made myself step out onto my deck and call over the privacy fence, “Hello!”\n“Well hey, Marlis!” Steve sang back. Beside him, the little boy was bouncing. “Marlis, meet Jayden. Jayden, say hello to Marlis. Marlis,” Steve said again, being the type of person who says people’s names, “Here’s my wife, Sherri.”\nSherri rushed from their detached garage, which loomed over my smaller one. “Great to meet you!” she bubbled. “We’re so glad someone finally bought that house—it’s a great house,” she said, though it was clearly not as “great” as theirs. “We were just saying how happy we are someone bought that house and we should have you over for cocktails sometime soon though I’m not drinking right now—” Here she paused to shriek out a laugh and pat her belly, “I’m expecting again! We’re having another boy we’re so excited! He’s gonna be your special little buddy, right, buddy?” she said to Jayden. “So let me ask you something, Marlis: we’re thinking of the name Ryder but my mom says that’s a truck. You know those rental trucks? Do they still have those? I don’t know, when I say ‘Ryder’ do you think of a truck? Ryder, Ryder—did that make you think ‘truck’?” She went on about trucks—real trucks and toy trucks, then lurched onto the topic of dolls and subconscious sexism and toys that might be dangerous and toys lost on vacation and vacation plans and college funds. This is the type of chatter classic introverts like me cannot bear: this cacophony of random thoughts and associations, like a flock of seagulls gacking and flapping around wildly. I clung to the orderly thoughts in my brain. I was certain she would never stop talking. I clung to my porch railing. I began to lose sensation in my feet.\nI realize this sounds judgmental. Clearly, Sherri Hamilton was a nice woman. Steve Hamilton was a nice man. Their children were attractive and well behaved. They were model Americans. Probably they had stick figures representing each family member adhered to the rear window of their SUV.\nSuddenly Sherri stopped talking. She’d paused to swat a bee from Emma’s head, and I seized the moment. “About the family who used to live here,” I said, and the Hamiltons froze in place—even, I thought, the bouncy boy. A perfunctory sadness overcame them. “The Kitchkas,” Steve affirmed.\n“What happened to them?” I asked. “They left a lot behind.”\n“Just disappeared,” Sherri said spookily. “One morning they were just gone.”\n“It was afternoon,” Steve corrected. “The bank foreclosed. They had one of those hinky mortgage deals, and I guess they didn’t know their adjustable rate could be, you know, adjusted.”\n“How long ago did they leave?”\nThe Hamiltons conferred. She thought a year ago. He thought two. “We don’t know,” they concluded.\n“Does anyone know where they went?”\nBlank looks persisted. Then Sherri’s face blossomed with an idea. “We can ask around at the block party this weekend! All the neighbors will be out! Someone’s bound to know.”\n“Great idea, Sherri!” Steve cheered, and I realized I was nodding. Block party. The phrase kicked at the inside of my skull. “Okay,” I said, “great.”\nTo be clear, I would rather stab myself in the thigh with a blunt utility knife than attend something called a “block party.” But if I wanted to learn the fate of the Kitchkas—if I wanted to step outside of my mother’s shadow and be who I wanted to be—I would have to go. I desperately wanted to be a better person. I had three days to prepare.\n<ls>\nThe next morning I awoke in such a foul mood I decided to treat myself to some unnecessary decorative thing at the Bed Bath. I love Bed Bath. But the northbound traffic on Harlem was maddening—vapid little wives gabbing on their phones in minivans, poking along five miles an hour below the speed limit. Everyone was the proud parent of an honor student somewhere. I tailgated them, honked, careened into the parking lane to pass them. In general, I would characterize myself as an impatient driver; today I was enraged. I hadn’t slept well. I did not want to go to this block party.\nIn the store, I battled my cart up the aisle. I handle shopping carts as well as any two-handed person, laying my forearm along the handle and using my right elbow as a counterweight. If today I crashed into an end cap display and terrorized other shoppers, it was intentional. I stopped at the kitchen section: rising 30 feet up a wall were rows of GoodGrip utensils, round and rectangular, black and white and pewter, their dense plastic packages twinkling in fluorescent light. It was too much for the human brain to take in. I retreated, banging into a stand of bakeware. I did not want to go to this block party.\nThe Hamiltons weren’t the only people on the block with little kids. What was I thinking, moving to this child-infested town? I have no tolerance left for children—I am tired of being their first lesson in not pointing and staring. I’ve trained myself to look away when I see them, but they lurk in my peripheral vision, parents tugging at them. I should have stayed in my apartment in the city, where there are too many people for anyone to be looking at anyone. Yet I’d wanted this home of my own—a house and a strip of land—a place to feel rooted, something solid and individual, some way to feel a part of the world. I hadn’t adequately thought this through—neighbors, families. Now I was faced with a God-forsaken block party, and children.\nOne evening decades ago, when I was a hopeful young woman dining in a restaurant, I spilled a bit of soup and made the mistake of grabbing the napkin with my left digits to clean up the mess. From across the room a little boy yelled, “Ewwww, look—she’s holding something in them!” His mother slapped his leg, but it was too late. I quit eating and sat, working out what was so awful: that the deformity was out in the open? That something that was not a hand was being used as a hand? Or, I thought with a dying heart, that I was touching something with this part of myself that wasn’t normal and therefore was unacceptable? That was it, I knew: I was too revolting for touch. My dinner growing cold, I held my left digits below the table and examined them. I’d always appreciated their attempt to become what they were supposed to be: the anterior was to be a thumb, I believed, and the thicker one was to separate into four slender fingers. I imagined I saw dents where the fingernails would have been. I left a generous tip on the table for the waitress and I fled, never returning.\nNow I was speeding through Bed Bath, scraping merchandise off hooks with the edge of my cart. Really, this store had too much stuff packed in—why had I ever loved it?—wall after wall stacked with silverware and glassware and towels and sheets and blankets in every imaginable color. Then I came upon a display of clock radios—old-fashioned–looking things, like something from the 1980s. I paused to study them and found myself growing calmer. My mother had bought a similar clock-radio, along with many other new items, for my childhood bedroom when I graduated from college. She was so happy to have me home again. My first night back, I listened as she sang in the kitchen, making popcorn in the hot-air popper, staying up late with me to watch Monty Python on TV. We laughed together, and I kept glimpsing her face, shiny with joy—exultant because I’d come home. I remember thinking then, my mother loves me. She’d always loved me.\nThen I realized: I do not have to go to this block party. I’d been pushing myself too hard. All those strangers and children. I am who I am, I thought; I can only do what I can do. Saturday morning I could say I wasn’t feeling well, a strategy that had worked all my life: people assume someone with a visible deformity has interior problems too. The Hamiltons could ask about the Kitchkas. I did not have to go to this block party.\nHappy again, I headed toward the candle section. Here was something I’d enjoy: soothing scented candles glittering around the house. I pressed into their grotto, coped with the olfactory overload, and piled votives in my cart. Beyond the candles was a shelf of picture frames, some enormous with multiple openings for photos. I rolled closer. They were available in a variety of wood stains. They had clever designs. One had a silver cord draped like a clothesline from one side to the other, each hook on the line stamped with a letter: F, A, M, I, L, Y. Sample pictures of happy parents and children were clipped to each letter. The last photo, attached to the “Y,” was of a worried-looking cat.\nAn idea struck me, and suddenly I was putting collage frames in my cart: I could put the Kitchkas’ snapshots in these frames and hang them along the staircase—a generous act to compensate for my unwillingness to go outside and ask after them. I’d make a museum exhibit of them, I thought excitedly, gliding toward the checkout—it would be a tribute, a remembrance—and every night as I went up to bed I would think of the Kitchkas and keep them alive in the house and in my memory. They’d be a sort of family for me. This was good, I thought: no need to go to that block party.\nBy the time I got home, I’d had enough of my cowardice and rationalizations. Isn’t the human mind an amazing trickster? “Yes, Mutti,” I said aloud, knowing how she hated the German moniker. “I do have to go to the block party.” I would never become a better person if I kept cowering inside my dime-sized comfort zone. I had to go outside.\nUnloading my candles and frames, I pep-talked myself. I knew how to do this. I’d wear a long-sleeved shirt and tie up the left sleeve. I’m lucky to have a normal right hand—the hand-shaking hand. I could remember to smile and make simple comments: That’s great. Wow. Awww. I would not imagine people were thinking negative thoughts about me. I’m an intelligent woman, I told myself: I can do this.\nI laid the collage frames across my dining room table, brought up the box of Kitchka photographs, and selected pictures to put in the frames. One I filled with pictures of Jamie singing into her karaoke microphone. I imagined she had an astonishing voice, and I was struck by something she and I had in common: on my walls would be her singing unheard, like my paintings unseen. Another frame I filled with pictures of Jamie and her mother smiling, cuddling, eating birthday cake. In one close-up, the mother’s hand rested loosely on the daughter’s hair, and I recalled my mother’s touch, stroking the side of my head with long tender fingers. When I was little, she allowed me to pet her hair, too, with my right hand. Cautiously I would touch my fingertips to her blonde waves, pretending my fingers were little boats on a stormy sea. I loved being that close to her, hearing her easy breath, inhaling her soapy scent. Of course, as a teenager I was always mad at her—I was typical in that way. I hounded her about Nazi Germany. How could so many Germans have not known about the gas chambers? My history text contained a photo of Berlin after the Allied bombing—mounds of rubble settled under balls of sepia smoke—and I painted the scene in raw umber and burnt sienna, slapping the oils onto the canvas with my deformed fingers, spreading the morbid colors with the flat side of what should have been my thumb.\nIn the final year of her life, my mother was not clear-headed. Every day she began, as though she’d never said it before: “Marlis, when I was pregnant with you, I was so sick, so sick sick sick.” I tried to cut her off: “I know.” “I didn’t know . . . ” “I know.” “How could I know? I am sorry.” “I know.” She wouldn’t quit until I said, “I forgive you, Mother. It’s all right.” Every day I had to grant her this dispensation. “It’s all right.”\nMaybe it wasn’t all right. Maybe she should have stopped to consider that taking thalidomide might harm me. Haven’t pregnant women through the ages survived nausea without a drug? Maybe I would have liked to have two complete arms and a few childhood friends and dates with men who spent more than one novelty night with me. If she couldn’t give me two complete arms, could she at least have given me a little confidence? Couldn’t she have helped me be in the world rather than locking me inside with our collective shame, making me wonder endlessly if she really did love me? But she never meant to hurt me. There is so much to not know. Wanting her to die in peace, I reassured her and in the process reassured myself: this is my life. I’m not unhappy. I’ve been satisfied, mostly, though looking now at the Kitchkas gathered at a Thanksgiving table in my own dining room, I couldn’t help but think this would have been nice, too—a little family, maybe. Listening to my daughter sing karaoke in my living room crowded with friends, and when she hit a high note, clapping my hands.\nThe Block Party began early, with happy shrieks of children reaching my open bedroom window by 8 a.m. I’m a person who values sleeping late. I rose to peer out at the flock of children fluttering round the cul-de-sac. There was no sign of the Hamiltons, or any adults, so I returned to bed and remained there till close to ten, when my doorbell rang—Sherri and Emma Hamilton come for me. Hurriedly I dressed, tied up my sleeve.\n“Good morning, Marlis!” Sherri cheered from the bottom of my front steps. I tried to match her tone: “Hello!”\nWe began walking up the street, where a half-dozen neighbors had gathered beside a police sawhorse erected as a blockade. I drew in streams of air and let them out in measured jerks, but still my body tightened as we approached. Despite the overcast sky, the day held onto a late summer warmth and the neighbors were dressed in short-sleeved tops. My feet kept walking, one in front of the other, but my neck and shoulders and spine turned to stone. Emma pranced ahead a few feet, then back, again and again, as though tethered to her mother by an invisible rubber band. When we arrived at the circle of neighbors, a woman was in mid-chatter: “I told him that.”\n“What did he say?” asked another woman in alarm.\n“Student safety is our top priority, blah blah blah—”\n“Did that satisfy you?” A third woman asked, her bobbing head shaggy as a Lhasa Apso.\n“They could have been hit by a car!” The second woman shrieked.\n“But they weren’t,” a man weighed in.\nAs the conversation trundled along, I deduced they were talking about a cross-country coach at the middle school, though how he was causing children to be nearly hit by cars remained unclear. Sherri listened with fervent attention: someday her children may be cross-country runners at the middle school. Apparently invisible, I floated off in my head: tomorrow I would go to Home Depot and look for bathroom tile. But would I regret cadmium yellow?\nThe conversation reached its dénouement, and Sherri began introducing me. The first man reached for a handshake, compelling everyone to do so. One after another, hands entered mine, round the circle, each shake accompanied by a name. My throat clamped shut; I never recall names. Sherri explained I was curious about the Kitchkas—did anyone know what happened to them?\nAn older husband and wife began to nod. They resembled each other—marriage can do that to people, I understand. They had slender heads on tall necks, large alert eyes, elongated noses—they looked like greyhounds, I realized, and felt myself smile. Air trickled into my chest again. Mrs. Greyhound said, “She lost her job and they couldn’t cover the mortgage, so the bank foreclosed.”\nMr. Greyhound frowned, “No-oh, they were underwater—and they walked.”\n“What?” another man barked, straining at Mr. Greyhound like a pit bull. “No, sir, they were responsible folks. They both got laid off, and the bank took the house.” For some reason, Sherri began to giggle.\nThe woman complaining about the negligent coach perked up, small and mean and yappy. “Then they bought too much house. If you can’t cover your mortgage in the event of a layoff, you’ve bought too much house.”\n“Does anyone know where they went?” I asked the group, the sound of my voice apparently surprising everyone.\n“Back to Texas,” Lhasa Apso said.\n“No, that was the Lancasters—remember the cowboy hats?”\n“The Millers might know.”\nThe Millers, the Lancasters, the Hamiltons—was anyone on this block not attached to some proper-nouned unit? Pit Bull belted, “The McAuleys would know! Their son was good friends with the oldest Kitchka boy.”\n“The McAuleys!” the ring of neighbors howled in unison.\n“But they’re at Six Flags today!” Sherri fretted.\n“They’ll be back in time for dinner tonight.”\nDinner? My intestines ached. Would I have to stay out here all day, and then—then, eat with these people? In my peripheral vision I caught a toddler furiously pedaling his big wheel at us; I hopped back just in time. Close behind him was another pack of neighbors—young parents and their little kids—the women trotting toward us, the men meandering, pausing to inspect bushes and small trees. In the lead were two women—one long-legged and elegant as an airedale, the other a stumpy-legged dachshund, who was raging, “She’d hate it! They said it’ll be easier to take care of now, and I said to them Isn’t that your job to take care of the people on your ward? She was always so particular about her hair!”\nAiredale exclaimed, “I hope she doesn’t accidentally see herself in the mirror.”\n“Hey, everyone!” Sherri called. “Come meet Marlis!” The new pack nosed their way into the existing circle. Airedale’s eyes glimpsed my empty sleeve, then snapped away. Sherri chirped, “Does anyone know where the Kitchkas went?”\n“Didn’t they get foreclosed?” asked a young man with silky golden hair.\n“Were those the people with the reindeer lawn ornaments that got stolen?”\n“Who are you talking about?”\n“The Kluskis.”\nDachshund squealed, “The Kitchkas. Kluskis are those egg noodles.” A wave of laughter traveled around the circle, and Sherri was reminded of Airedale’s to-die-for pasta salad. Was she bringing it again tonight? You could get gluten-free pasta now at the corner store, someone said; the Millers’ son had a peanut allergy, someone else added. What was the latest on getting healthy lunches into the elementary school? Was there a new music teacher yet? Should parents let their sons play football? What time did the Bears game start tomorrow? Did anyone have an air mattress to lend out?\nA little girl ran up to Airedale, whining about a boy and a donut. The girl glanced at me and said, “Mommy, that lady only has one arm!” All eyes rolled toward my swinging sleeve, and my face caught fire. The pack grew silent, waiting for me to speak, expecting—what? a justification? an uplifting speech? I said nothing, and kept saying nothing, until a damp discontent thickened the air.\nThen Dachshund began, “When I was in college, my roommate freshman year had a deformed hand.” She pointed her index finger up straight and stretched her thumb out at a right angle, unwittingly forming the “L” for “Loser.” “She had a regular thumb and one finger but then just little nubs and the whole hand was, like, withered—but she never hid it, and she was studying to be a grade school teacher! If some little kid in a store stared at her, Meredith would just march right up and say, ‘Hi!’ and she’d tell the mother it was okay, she didn’t mind—kids are curious, she’d say, that’s normal. Then she’d explain her hand was a birth defect and some people are born that way and that’s okay, she’d say, and it’s okay to be curious, and the moms would be so relieved! Isn’t that remarkable?”\nEveryone nodded. I contributed, “We disabled people are quite inspirational.”\n“My point is,” Dachshund continued at me, “it’s all in how you think about it. It’s, like, don’t sweat the small stuff, and it’s all small stuff! We all have some handicap to overcome, right?” Again heads nodded.\n“Oh,” I replied, and in an inadequate attempt to fend off another silence, I said, “I see.”\nIt returned: an immense, oozing, oppressive silence, compressing our very souls, dragging on for many intolerable moments until Sherri, again for no reason, burst into giggles. It made everyone smile, including me. She laid a hand on my shoulder, her touch was so warm I wanted to fold up and fall into her arms. She said, “We’re gonna go find Steve and Jayden. Toy Story has got to be over by now!” And effortlessly she peeled me away from this unique circle of hell.\nSide by side like good friends we walked back toward our homes. She didn’t speak, and I relished this long moment of simply being next to someone—this lovely smooth sensation. “I’m going in for a while,” I said. “I’m not feeling well.”\n“Oh, no—are you okay?” Her pretty pastel face turned toward mine.\n“I just need to rest a bit.”\n“Of course!” she replied, as though she should’ve known a person with one arm needs frequent naps. “You’ll come out for dinner tonight, right? We’ll ask the McAuleys about the Kitchkas. I’ll save you a seat. It’ll be fun!”\n“Sure.”\nInside I lay on my couch with the lights out, like a migraine sufferer, though what ached was at the core of me. I lay there until evening came, and progressed, and Emma Hamilton rang my doorbell again and again and finally went away. I turned on the TV and ate some soda crackers, and when evening rolled into night, I went to bed and couldn’t sleep.\nFrom below my open window came voices. I crept from my bed and peeked out. The neighbors had collected in the cul-de-sac around a flaming fire pit—they’d brought lawn chairs and coolers and reclined now in a timeless fraternity. I listened to their ardent hum of talk, their urgent reporting of worries about their children, their aging parents, their brothers or sisters getting divorced or marrying an inappropriate person. If the McAuleys were there, no one would remember to ask about the Kitchkas. I could still go outside, I thought. It was not too late.\nObviously, I was not going back outside. Inside, I was safe, and for the sake of preserving my flimsy self-esteem I was willing to not know about the Kitchkas. I crawled into my lavish bed and stretched my feet to the edge and wondered, what else was I willing to not know? But I would not punish myself for this. I would not hold myself to some unreasonable standard; I am not remarkable or exceptional. I am typical. Few people are willing to jeopardize their comfort or their righteous self-regard for the sake of knowing the dismal fate of others. I’d done as much as I could, and there would be other opportunities—or not. It was not my responsibility to return people’s abandoned belongings. It wasn’t my fault this family was evicted. It’s true what they say about personal responsibility and self-sufficiency. Anyway, I had the collage frames mounted on the wall along my staircase. I was doing more than these neighbors—I was remembering the Kitchkas, at least, and feeling bad for them. I drifted to sleep thinking of them, seeing their optimistic faces beaming at cameras, unaware of what was to come.\nIn the night I woke and thought I heard them—my ghost family—rustling downstairs. I lay still, listening to their music and giggles and conversation, and after a while I heard footsteps bumping up the stairs, voices and laughter rising. Through my bedroom door first came the children—Jamie in the lead, brothers following—romping in and chasing each other around my oval rug. Then my mother appeared, restored to her younger self, strong and full, snagging Jamie under the arms and raising her high with a shriek of delight. It made me happy to see her happy. Then came the Kitchka parents, leaning smiling in my bedroom door—our bedroom door—and a thrill shuddered through me: I was so lucky, immersed in such love and joy; so lucky that I was suddenly upright, laughing, and clapping my hands."}

{"text": "This overview of the landscape of Canadian clinical trials, along with a historical primer (page 23), is the first in a series of articles CMAJ will present this year on the state of clinical trials in Canada and abroad. Many believe the system is in disarray because of spiralling costs and conflicting requirements. Among the issues that will be explored in upcoming articles are costs, recruitment, registration, ethical oversight, patient safety, reporting and the push for reforms.\nIndustry, government and academia will have to collaborate if Canada is to maintain or increase its share of clinical trials in the highly competitive global market, speakers told the fifth annual Clinical Trials in Canada conference.\n“We think there is a crisis of clinical trials leaving Canada and there is fear that once they are gone they will be hard to get back,” said Ronald Heslegrave, chair of the ethics board at the University Health Network in Toronto, Ontario.\nCompounding the problem is the difficulty in recruiting physicians to help run trials. “Few doctors in their 30s and 40s are interested in clinical trials or want to be trialists,” said Dr. Mary Bell, head of the rheumatology division at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centres in Toronto.\n“We need to think about succession. We need to be more organized about training for subinvestigators,” while some current investigators need retraining, she told the conference, held Oct. 21 and 22 in Toronto.\nCanada has experienced an increase in the number of phase I trials — a reflection of a Health Canada move to shorten the time to review these trials and a significant increase in spending worldwide at the phase I trial level. But the numbers of phase II and III trials have levelled or declined in the past few years (Fig. 1).\nFigure 1: Canadian clinical trials, according to a Centerwatch analysis of Health Canada's Therapeutics Directorate annual reports.\n“My sense is it would be a success just to maintain the current level of research and development,” commented Pierre Gervais, president of Q&T Research in Sherbrooke, Quebec.\nPharmaceutical companies are the main sponsors of clinical trials in Canada. In 2007, spending on clinical trials (close to $600 million) accounted for 78% of the companies' applied research expenditures.\nThis artwork, entitled “God,” fetched £188 500 (about Can$353 670) for artist Damien Hirst at auction. Medicine and drugs are recurring themes in this British artist's work. Image by: Ho Old / Reuters\nThe vast majority (88.7%) of the companies' research and development spending was in Ontario and Quebec, according to the Patented Medicines Prices Review Board's 2007 annual report.\nPharmaceutical companies are increasingly outsourcing the running of clinical trials to contract research organizations, which organize trials both in the community and within hospitals.\nMost phase I trials, however, are conducted by specialized contract research organizations, said Brett Wilson, an associate director of clinical site monitoring for Bristol-Myers Squibb Canada.\nFifteen to 20 years ago “Canada was the new kid” in clinical trials, but with 4.1% of clinical trial sites, Canada now ranks fourth in the world, after the United States (48.7%), Germany (5.7%) and France (4.3%), he said, citing data from a recent article on the globalization of clinical trials (Nature Reviews Drug Discov 2008;[7]:13-4).\nBut the frontrunners are being challenged by the rapid expansion of capacity in countries such as Russia, Argentina, India, Hungary and China.\nCanada's clinical trials future will depend on cultivating the expertise to run smaller, more sophisticated trials, speakers from academic centres argued. “Trials looking at small effects and requiring large numbers of patients will not be done in Canada. … The focus will be targeted drugs producing bigger effects in smaller populations,” said Robert Phillips, deputy director of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research.\nDoctors and hospital-based researchers were urged to take a more business-like approach. “Investigators don't think of themselves as business people. … But they are in business. They are not practising medicine when they are doing a trial,” said Margaret Kerr, a Toronto lawyer who specializes in contract work.\nThe meeting, organized by the private-sector group Insight Information, a division of Incisive Media, was attended by about 85 people, including the speakers and representatives from contract research organizations, brand-name pharmaceutical companies and government, as well as academic researchers and contract lawyers. It's not often that such a diverse group meets, several participants noted.\nSome of the many challenges facing the clinical trial industry identified at the meeting include:\nA lack of basic information about the clinical trial landscape in Canada and a lack of cooperation among the various parties\nThe increased complexity of documentation required for clinical trials, lack of standardization in contracts and among research ethics boards, as well as other bureaucratic and administration complications\nThe public's lack of confidence in pharmaceutical companies and difficulties recruiting patients for trials (with the exception of trials for cancer drugs)\nClinical trials that are unnecessarily complex and/or uninteresting to researchers, and the time and cost pressures resulting from drug firm financial realities.\nAlthough pharmaceutical companies have increasingly outsourced the clinical trial business to contract research organizations, (these private sector organizations now run more clinical trials than universities or hospitals), the sector is “fragmented and diversified,” said Carl Viel, president of PÔLE, an agency established to promote economic development in the Québec City metropolitan area.\nIndeed, when PÔLE set out to map the presence and activities of contract research organizations in the Québec City area, it had to hire a student for the task because the province could provide no information, Viel told the conference.\nMeanwhile, little is known about where the organizations operate, because many are involved with running trials offshore. “Canadian companies have created thousands of jobs internationally.”\nGervais said that government representatives have no idea about how much research is done in the private sector, “there is no structure to welcome more,” and governments seem to deem the sector too small to warrant tracking.\nMeanwhile, the academic clinical trial sector suffers from a similar lack of cooperation and information, speakers told the conference. Many Canadian hospitals and research institutions are aiming to improve their capacity to run clinical trials, and academic researchers are establishing and strengthening clinical trial specialty groups involving multiple sites.\nBut cooperation among hospitals “is the exception rather than the rule,” said Phillips. Clinical trials are “grafted onto other hospital practices,” he said, noting that when he offered to help design model systems for clinical trials, hospitals “were so burdened with patient care” that they couldn't spare the time to work with him.\nAnd within hospitals, individual site groups are “often autonomous empires with little oversight,” Phillips added. When his institute established a database () of clinical trials “we thought it was for patients, but nurses use it to find out about trials in their own hospitals.”\nThe current system typically works for well-known senior clinician scientists, who are sought out to conduct trials, but it can be hard for young scientists to get a foot in the door, he added.\nMeanwhile, variations in contract language and in the requirements of research ethics boards pose problems for both hospitals and research institutes, speakers told the conference. The push to standardize contracts and to harmonize research ethics board approval standards is making slow progress.\nThe University of Toronto system has developed a template contract, and St. Michael's Hospital often settles on contract language with the sponsoring pharmaceutical company, said Michelle Moldofsky, a policy and legal adviser with the hospital's office of research administration.\nBut contract research organizations are “adding another party to the mix” and they “very rarely” agree on the sponsor's template, she said.\nFor Canada-wide trials, organizers must cope with differing provincial privacy legislation, and the increase in the number of foreign-sponsored trials is accompanied by language, cultural and legal challenges, she said.\n“With the globalization of research, we have to reach through layers and layers of people,” added Kerr. “We need a Batphone to the commissioner.”\nForeign sponsors have also had some difficulty with the fact that Canadian physicians are not site employees but rather independent contractors, which affects the insurance provisions of contracts, the lawyer said.\nFor the Canadian subsidiaries of international pharmaceutical companies, difficulties can arise when trials are set by global colleagues so that subsidiaries are limited in their ability to influence contracts or protocols, several speakers said.\nKerr said another stumbling block for some sponsors is the University of Toronto's requirement that clinical trial sites report any adverse events suffered by patients to both Health Canada and the research ethics boards of other sites involved in a multisite trial.\nThose adverse events may be becoming more common because of time pressures, suggested Janice Parente, president of ethica Clinical Research Inc. of Montreal, Quebec. Drugs are being withdrawn from the market because “the research was not done properly. … Maybe we need to relax the time,” she said. “We are making huge mistakes that affect humans.”\nIt is estimated that only 1%–3% of Canadians participate in clinical trials. Image by: Andrey Shchekalev / iStockphoto.com\nHeslegrave said that in protocol violations involving patients — for example, a pregnancy test not being undertaken on a trial participant — the excuse typically offered is that “there is no time.”\nOnly 1%–3% of the eligible Canadian population participates in clinical trials, Wilson said. Speakers blamed the difficulty in recruiting patients (except for cancer patients) on widespread publicity about drug withdrawals, as well as a shift in the public's perception of drug companies — from discoverers of new medications to commodity providers.\nThis change in perception is likely fuelled by widespread direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs (illegal in Canada but familiar to Canadians through United States television and magazines), said Murray Jensen, director of clinical and scientific affairs for ethica.\nOn the other hand, Pierre Geoffroy, a senior director with sanofi pasteur, suggested public confidence may have been undermined because advances in pharmacovigilance and post-market surveillance of drugs are leading to publicity about “post-market misadventures” that may have gone unidentified in the past.\nTo attract more doctors to clinical trials, the administrative burden on them must be lifted, said Wilson.\nBut part of the difficulty in recruiting physicians lies in the trials themselves, argued Muhammad Mamdani, director of the Applied Health Research Centre at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute in Toronto. “I can't tell you the number of industry trials which are of no interest to doctors,” he said.\nMamdani said the unnecessary complexity of trials is another stumbling block.\nHeslegrave concurs. “At the REB [research ethic board] level, we see increasingly complex studies that try to do too much, that have one primary and lots of secondary objectives, and are not powered enough, so questions arise if these are even valid studies.”\nFor Canada to “survive and prosper” with clinical trials, there must be more early cooperation on study design between academics and the pharmaceutical companies sponsoring the trials, and multicentre trials must be easier to initiate, said Phillips. “Companies can't just come to a CRO [contract research organization] and say, ‚here it is, do it'.”\nIn the future, clinical trials should answer not just whether or not a drug works for a specific population, but why, Phillips added. “Drugs should be based on science, not serendipity. The goal will be to design drugs targeted to patients and we need to recognize this change.”\nIf contract research organizations want to be involved in high-impact clinical trials, they will have to build links with the academics, Phillips later said in an interview. “Everyone is groping with how to come to a mechanism to bring teams together.”"}

{"text": "Let’s bring this tyrant to justice\nThe European Union, following the US, will confirm some half-hearted sanctions this week – travel bans, money freezes and the like – on a handful of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad‘s cronies, but not on Assad himself. This will do nothing to change his regime’s policy of murdering peaceful protesters.\nThe use of lethal force to disperse the demonstrations is within a government’s prerogative – thus ”Bloody Sunday”, when the British paratroopers killed 13 Irish republican demonstrators, was not an international crime. But a month of Bloody Sundays, the like of which in Syria has produced hundreds of dead so far – is a different matter. It counts as a crime against humanity, and it is now time for the Security Council to refer Assad and certain members of his family to the International Criminal Court.\nThe uprisings against the Syrian regime do not qualify for the humanitarian protections of the law of war: they do not yet amount to an international armed conflict (although Iran is alleged to be assisting the repression) and have not even reached the stage at which they can be legally classified as a civil war.\nThe regime of the commission of exactly such a crime.\nAssad bears command responsibility for these killings and his exclusion from the sanctions is ridiculous. It is no use any more to claim him as a would-be reformer boxed in by hardliners or as ”the blind ophthalmologist” (his previous profession) carried along by events. He made the decision to stop the protests by lethal force in order to protect his family’s power and wealth from democratic challenge. His younger brother Maher commands the army’s Fourth Mechanical Division, which committed the Deraa atrocities, and is another prime perpetrator – together with relatives who run his brutal secret police (the Mukhabarat) and others from his minority Alamite sect who are part of his inner circle.\nEven his wife, the fragrant Queen’s College (Harley Street) educated Asma al-Assad, deserves to be investigated as part of that circle. Ignorant journalists on women’s magazines extol her charity and compassion, but she is said to be privately supportive of her brutal husband. In international criminal law, Caesar’s wife is not above suspicion.\nThe rules on the use of force and firearms during civil arrest were settled by the UN in 1990. Armies and police must only resort to lethal force when ”absolutely necessary” in defence of themselves or others against the threat of death or serious injury. They have a duty to equip themselves with non-lethal incapacitating weapons such as water cannon and to use these first. They must respect and preserve human life – for example, by ensuring immediate medical treatment for the injured and by punishing any official guilty of arbitrary killing. ”Internal political instability may not be invoked to justify any departure from these basic principles,” say the UN rules.\nNew forms of viciousness in Syria require international condemnation: as in Bahrain, the arrest of doctors and nurses for performing their hippocratic duties to attend the injured; the tactic of leaving dead bodies in the street so their sight and stench will discourage others; and shooting or arresting civilians for taking pictures of army brutality – in the hope, no doubt, of providing evidence for an international court. Some 7000 citizens have already been arrested and placed in jails where torture is alleged to be routine.\nThe regime has banned all foreign media from the country – a tactic most recently deployed by the Sri Lankan government to ensure that there would be no impartial eyewitnesses to its massacre of Tamils. The Red Cross was allowed limited access,..\nNobody is suggesting ”boots on the ground” in Damascus. At this stage, a referral would mean the collection of evidence by professional investigators, whose work may well cause the ICC prosecutor to seek judicial approval for the indictment of Assad and his commanders. The very existence of an ICC inquiry would put pressure on the regime to reverse its ”shoot-to-kill” policy and if an indictment is judicially approved this would set an important precedent for the rights of peaceful protesters. Assad may not be seated in the Hague dock any time soon, but if an indictment is in the offing, he may hesitate to add to its counts. The possibility of justice is more likely to deter a bloody tyrant than a travel ban on a few of his cronies.\nGeoffrey Robertson, QC, is a former UN judge and author of Crimes Against Humanity (Penguin)."}

{"text": "Different Methods for Natural Pain Relief\nFeeling pain in any part of your body can ruin your whole day. There are a lot of pain relievers you can take, but wouldn't it be better to take natural pain relief? Looking for a natural way to relieve pain is actually very easy.\nYou might be surprised but there are things that can help you reduce and even take the pain away. One of the best treatments is found right in your kitchen at this very moment! Believe it or not, drinking enough water helps reduce body pains. It is especially good for treating back aches. Water keeps the discs in between your spine healthy and it reduces joint stiffness.\nThere are other creative ways for natural lower back pain relief too. Yoga and meditation are helpful too. When you are doing these activities, you can bring yourself and your mind to a calmer or more relaxed state. When you are relaxed you release muscle tension and reduce the possibility of causing pains. In medical cases, there is this thing called guided imagery. A person is guided to think positive and imagine beautiful sceneries. This helps divert your thoughts from the pain to something that makes you feel better.\nExercise does not only help relieve pain, but it prevents it too. In people with back pain, simple stretching can help them recover from the health concern. You don't have to perform very rigorous exercises. Just enough to allow you to move around and loosen up a bit will be great. You can also learn more natural pain reliever by checking out the post at.\nHeat therapy and massage are also good. The main goal of applying heat for natural pain relief would be to optimize the flow of oxygen around your body. Massage on the other hand helps you stay relaxed and release muscle tension. Massage is said to help in releasing endorphins or the happy hormones of the body.

{"text": "My thanks go to The Chic Life for this recipe for coconut macaroons, which I used as a basis to get the proportions right. I was searching for a macaroon recipe for which the ingredients were a close match to the “Cocoroons” brand of macaroons, which are a little hard to come by but are simply amazing. Most of the recipes I found involved egg whites, which Cocoroons don’t have on account of being raw, vegan, and gluten-free all at the same time. The Chic Life’s recipe was an almost perfect match though, and I only tweaked the recipe slightly by changing the sweeteners.\nYield: 2 dozen\nPreparation Time: 15-20 minutes\nIngredients:\n- 2 cups shredded coconut (finely shredded, not long flakes)\n- 1 1/2 cups almond flour\n- 1/2 cup maple syrup\n- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted\n- 1 tsp vanilla\n- 1/4 tsp salt (some kind of fancy, pink Himalayan if possible)\nDirections:\n- Preheat oven to 300°F and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.\n- Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.\n- Add the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.\n- Spoon out tablespoonfuls into spheres and place on tray.\n- Bake for 15 minutes.\n- Cool on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.\nThoughts:\n- The source recipe calls for using a dehydrator but I don’t happen to own one of those. If you ask the internet there’s a fairly standard way to use your oven as a dehydrator, but I took suggestion from the recipe’s author to try 300°F for a few minutes and that worked fine. That means these are no longer raw, they’re just vegan and GF, but I haven’t caught on to the raw diet yet so I’ll be okay.\n- You can safely play with the amount of sweetener within the 1/4-3/4 cup range depending on how sweet you want these to be. If you go up to 3/4 cup they’re going to be very sweet and a little sticky, but about 24-48 hours after coming out of the oven, assuming you leave them in an airtight container on your kitchen counter, they’ll have dried out nicely and lost the stickiness (but not the sweetness!). If you go down to 1/4 cup they’ll be a little harder to form because of the lack of moisture in the dough, and obviously not as sweet, but at roughly 2 grams of sugar per macaroon you can tell yourself they’re a mildly healthy treat.\n- Other sweeteners can definitely be used to play around with the flavor. I’m also thinking of adding 1 tbsp of cocoa powder next time for a chocolate variety.\nStep by Step:\nThe stand-mixer is overkill here, you could easily just use a whisk, but that’s never stopped me before.\nI’ve still not definitively decided if this salt, carved out of the Himalayan mountains, offers a distinctly different taste over normal salt, but it’s fun to use all the same.\nMeasuring out coconut oil when it’s solid can be tricky, but the wonderful thing about coconut oil is that if you measure out too much you can just pour the excess back into the jar and it will solidify again until you next need it.\nThat perfectly functional spatula on the side there would’ve worked fine here.\nIf the “dough” gets a little hard to work with, just wash out whatever you’re using as a scoop. I found that doing so every 4-5 macaroons kept things going at a decent pace, otherwise I’d spend forever trying to form a macaroon into shape while it kept getting stuck to the tablespoon.\nNo need to worry about keeping them apart from each other on the tray; they should more or less keep their shape. Bonus: you can fit a single batch on one tray.\nThey’ll be just slightly crisp and brown on the edges when done.\nNow you can eat them! A tropical-flavored iced tea seemed to go well with all the coconut involved here…\nLeif\nApril 9, 2013 at 7:49 pm\nI’m pretty pleased to uncover this website. I want to to thank you for ones time due to this wonderful read!! I definitely loved every bit of it and i also have you bookmarked to see new stuff on your web site."}

{"text": "Abstract\nIn this article I discuss what a tantrum is, why the typical responses are incorrect, and a method for handling tantrums that will help families in the long-term. Contrary to popular belief, a tantrum is not a means for a child to piss you off, but rather to express overwhelming emotions that the child is struggling with. The ideas of “trying to get attention” or “only trying to get what s/he wants” ignore the most important point of a tantrum: communication. The typical means of dealing with a tantrum—ignoring or giving in—are far from ideal. Looking at research in empathy and empathic development, both of these methods are more akin to a means of avoiding personal distress than actually helping the child (in either the short-term or long-term). Dealing with tantrums in an empathic way does not involve “giving in”, but rather involves being supportive of a child’s emotional needs while maintaining boundaries and then teaching new methods of coping. Put simply, standing ones ground while acknowledging a child’s feelings and providing love and support during a hard time are critical to a child’s emotional development.\n*****\nRecently the following picture led to quite the debate on Facebook:\nIf you read here regularly then you probably guessed that I sided very squarely on the side of this being the wrong way to handle tantrums. Not only do I struggle with the use of the sign, but the sharing of the photo on a page asking how people handle tantrums (putting this up as a laudable example) was a bit too much like public shaming of a toddler. [As an important aside, people and research suggests these methods are appropriate for some individuals with certain disorders, but (a) it was not shared with that intent and most of the people applauding it were not doing so for that reason, it warrants a discussion for those of us who do not have children with particular special needs and (b) those with these special needs may very much disagree and feel the approach herein is better.]\nThe comments that disturbed me the most were those that suggested that you must ignore tantrum behaviour because the only alternative is to “give in”. This saddens me because in the black and white view, I can understand why people so vehemently support ignoring “bad” behaviour (we’ll get to the “bad” part soon), but it ignores that there is a middle ground in which you do not give in and do not ignore. It’s that I want to talk about here.\nIs a Tantrum “Bad”? Or What is a Tantrum?\nSo often the first response when we think of tantrums is that we don’t want to reward “bad” behaviour. The idea is that the child is having a tantrum simply to be bad. At no stage in development do I believe a child who is otherwise emotionally calm will decide to throw a tantrum just to be “bad”. They may be upset and showing it in an inappropriate way, they may have even learned it gets the type of attention they are looking for, but they aren’t trying to be “bad”.\nLet’s start by looking at the argument of: “My child is trying to get attention”. For some reason we think of “getting attention” as “bad”. We all strive to be seen and heard by those we love. For many of us, now that we are adults, when we can’t get those we care about to hear us (not give in, just hear us), we shrink back. We have learned for years that we won’t be heard, that love for us is conditional upon us doing what other people want us to do. Our children still haven’t learned that and they are trying, desperately and likely inappropriately, to be heard. This is not “bad”, rather it should be a warning to us that something has gone amiss and our child isn’t feeling heard. I know many people think that they don’t want their children to believe that “acting out” is what gets them attention, but it depends on the attention they get (we’ll get to this in the dealing with it section). There are ways of saying, “I hear you, but this isn’t the way to get my attention.” Ignoring a child isn’t one of those ways. When we get to the discussion of how to handle a tantrum (at any age), dealing with this type of tantrum should mean that you don’t “give in” but also that your child gets to feel heard and loved.\nNow what about the other argument: “My child has to learn s/he can’t get whatever s/he wants”? One of the problems today is that people believe the only alternative to ignoring a child is to give in. Many tantrums will come not from a plea for attention, but simply because a child isn’t getting his/her way, what s/he wants, etc. It’s normal. It doesn’t mean that you have to give in and buy your children everything they want or let them watch as much TV as they want or eat all they want. It really doesn’t. It means that you accept that when you say “no”, you may face resistance, and more importantly that saying “no” does not mean you need to also deny your child the comfort and care that they associate with you. It is horribly sad to me that we have hit a stage where parents view the only alternative to giving in as ignoring their child. These seem like polar opposites and yet (as we’ll get to) are actually quite similar in how we deal with tantrums, but neither is effective if we want to teach our children how to actually regulate emotions so as to help them down the line.\nSo… what is a tantrum? Well, neurologically we can think of a tantrum as a child being on emotional overload. It may have started with one thing the child wanted and you said “no”, but quickly, to the child, it became more than that. It may be a combination of tiredness, hunger, or simply frustration at not feeling understood (this is especially common in younger years), but the additional layers simply made one moment the perfect storm to act out. When this happens, your child is trying to communicate with you, to explain, to be heard, even if it’s done in what we would say is an “inappropriate way”. The problem is that for them, it’s not inappropriate, it’s the only way they currently have at the moment to express themselves. (This is important and we’ll talk about this later because it acknowledges that we can help give our children other means for later moments.)\nImportantly, tantrums happen. No matter how great a parent you are, you can experience a tantrum. It does not mean you haven’t met a child’s needs. It does not mean you are a bad parent. More so, if you fail to stop it in a moment, it does not make you a bad parent. Tantrums happen. I can’t repeat that enough. In the toddler-preschool period, our children are developing rapidly and they are taking in so much information and can’t necessarily process it all. We are putting expectations on them that they may not be ready to meet, and we don’t always know what they can take and what they can’t. They are asserting independence while feeling still quite dependent, and as much as they want to walk away, they don’t want us to walk away. These things all combine to make tantrums happen, so let’s just accept that fact now, okay?\nOne of the things I feel is most important to clarify in this section is our expectations of toddler-preschool behaviour. At this age, behaviour is going to be limited in part by the development (or lack thereof) of the brain. The problem for toddlers and preschoolers and children is that the area of the brain that assists with emotion regulation is the prefrontal cortex[1]. The prefrontal cortex isn’t fully developed until our mid-20s[2]. This isn’t to say areas don’t come online that allow for a variety of behaviours that include elements of emotion regulation, but when we’re talking about emotion regulation during periods of high distress, we need all the regulation we can get and younger children don’t have it. Furthermore, as many parents often realize, tantrums are far more likely to occur what a child is in a stressed-out state already from being hungry or tired or overwhelmed. These states predispose a child to becoming even more overwhelmed and that’s when tantrums tend to hit. Being aware of your child’s state can help parents avoid tantrums before they start.\nWhy Are the Usual Methods Wrong?\nBy “usual methods” I refer to the plethora of people suggesting that we ought to ignore children when they are having a tantrum. I understand why people feel this way as behaviourism is rampant in our society, especially with children. I don’t particularly care what you’ve done in the past or why, but am hoping to help clarify things for you moving forward. Unfortunately when you speak against this, as I mentioned, people believe the only alternative is to “give in” and this leads to a cycle in which people think that those of us against ignoring must be promoting permissiveness. We’re not. In this section I want to talk about why these two actions are actually two sides of the same coin and what it means for later emotional development.\nTo talk about this I need to talk about empathy and its development and components. The development of empathy starts in a very egocentric manner with the appearance of emotion contagion[3][4][5], also known as that moment when one baby in a room of babies cries and suddenly they are all crying. The initial crying serves as a trigger for the baby that someone else is in distress. Interestingly, this is the one of the main findings that has served to tell us that we are hardwired to empathize with others; that it is a skill we are supposed to develop and should not need “teaching” so much as just the right experiences and modeling. The problem with younger babies is that they hear the cry and they don’t have the mental capacity to realize it’s another infant and then to respond to them, so instead they experience distress and cry themselves.\nThis reaction of being upset at the distress of another is called personal distress and remains a component of empathic reactions for all of our lives[6][7]. The problem is that when we experience too much personal distress in response to someone else, we are unable to act out of empathic concern, the other component that allows us to separate our feelings of distress from the other individual’s and work to alleviate someone else’s pain[6][7]. What happens when personal distress overpowers empathic concern? We act in a way to alleviate our own distress and not the other persons[8][9]. Sometimes these overlap and the only way to help our own distress is by helping another, but as long as there’s an easier way out, most people will take it[10][11].\nHow does this related to handling tantrums? I don’t know anyone who would say that a tantrum does not bring out feelings of anxiety and discomfort for themselves as well. We get flustered because we want it to stop, the screaming grates at our every nerve, and the tears make us want to both hug and shake our children to make it stop. You can probably double the discomfort if you’re out in public and you see all people turn to you with condemnation in their eyes.\nThe issue now is that we can respond in a way that stems from personal distress or we can respond in a way that stems from empathic concern. As different as ignoring or giving in may seem, they actually both represent responding out of personal distress. In giving in, the tantrum is stopped immediately and anxiety is reduced. In ignoring, the parent is actually shutting down their own awareness of the event. Many parents walk away to put physical distance between them and the tantrum, whereas others are capable of simply tuning out what is happening around them. However, neither response acknowledges or assists the child emotionally or behaviourally moving forward.\nI know people will say that ignoring “stops the behaviour” but I would say that even if it does that, it does it at a cost and the cost is this: You have made your love conditional to your child. When you ignore a child in distress (and yes, tantrums are distressing events for your child), you are telling them that they aren’t worthy of being loved when they act like this. It has nothing to do with “giving in” but rather offering support (which we’ll get to next). Not only that, but you have failed to give them tools to help them deal with their overwhelming emotions except to try and shut them down, and this cycles us back to the personal distress-empathic concern issue. Children who cannot cope with their own emotions often struggle to offer empathic responses to other individuals[12][13]; therefore, we are not only not helping them in the moment, but actually inhibiting the development of their empathy for later years.\nIn sum, giving in all the time can lead to entitlement and an inability to handle boundaries. However, ignoring your child can lead to an inability to regulate emotions (especially negative emotions[14]) and in turn prevent the development of empathic concern. I don’t know a single parent that has these as long-term goals for their child.\nWhat You Can Do\nSo here it is, what do you do? I’m here telling you not to give in and not to ignore, and I imagine most of you are thinking I’m insane. First, we have to talk about separating the physical from the emotional. They manifest in each other, but a child who is in distress is emotionally vulnerable and in need of help whereas the (presumably) physical need (or want) does not need to be fulfilled. Too often we parents feel that if we give our children any emotional contact, we are somehow telling them that a particular behaviour is “okay”.\nIt’s not true.\nBelieve it or not, but our children are capable of understanding the difference between emotional support and “giving in”.\nHere is the basic plan: You acknowledge and support your child through this emotional period without giving into the boundary you’ve set. Radical, right? Sadly, yes, in our society, but not really when we think of behaviour over a longer period of time. It is actually okay to hug a child that is upset you said no while also maintaining that “no”.\nWhat does this look like? Well, a while ago I shared this incident that I had with my daughter on Facebook and I think it’s relevant to the discussion here today: screams.\nHere we see a child whose emotions are accepted and validated, but where the boundary is reinforced. At no point was my daughter going to watch the movie again, but I was not going to ignore the tears and screams that came from her. She was upset and I understood why so I offered the comfort I could while maintaining the boundary. I’ll be honest that frankly this was harder. It would have been so much easier to either put the movie back on or tell her I’m ignoring her and go do something for myself or drag her to bed. I didn’t. I took the hard road and sat with her and was there when she was ready.\n(Notably, 5 minutes here was WAY less than previous because this has been our tactic for years and our max time was an hour before she would come cuddle and calm down. That’s okay – she’s a child learning her emotions. She spent an hour trying to regulate herself before she accepted she couldn’t and she should never be penalized for it.)\nWhat did I get for my efforts?.”\nThis is what I want for my child long-term and what I hope you all want for yours: A child that understands their own emotions, feels comfortable sharing even the most negative of emotions, and knows that I, her parent, will be there to help in a time of need. I want to reiterate here that this experience came after years of implementing this method, not always to such quick and wonderful results, but when it came to this stage, I realized how well it had worked. It was not easy, it was freaking hard. Every time a tantrum came on, it took all I had to put my own feelings of anger/sadness/anxiety/discomfort aside to realize my daughter was reaching out. In a socially inappropriate way, but reaching out nonetheless, and then to reach out back to her.\nIt doesn’t end here though. Once you have been there for your child and your child is calm (this is critical), this is the time to talk about alternate strategies. It can seem frustrating that you share alternatives only to face the same situation the next time. And the time after. And the time after that… But you will hit a stage in which it clicks. When it clicks will vary child to child and it won’t be a reflection of your parenting but rather the fact that every child is different and emotion regulation doesn’t kick in on a set schedule. However, the more you provide your children with these alternatives and work with them when they are calm to practice them, the easier it will be for them to use them when they are in a state of distress. Positive learning when distressed is, quite simply, an oxymoron[15]. They will not, however, be able to practice these tricks if you don’t teach them and if they don’t feel that you are there to help them when they need it. It’s like asking someone to walk a tightrope when you’ve proven you won’t be there to catch them if they fall. It just doesn’t work.\nConclusions\nTantrums happen, especially to younger children. They are not trying to harm us, but are simply in a state of high distress themselves and are trying to communicate with us. Ignoring them or giving in are not the only solutions and in fact if we can learn to separate the emotional from the behavioural response, we have a chance to support our kids while maintaining boundaries. If we hope to raise emotionally healthy children who can manage their own emotions while caring for others, being there in times of distress is essential. Please remember that.\nYou can follow-up here with a piece on how to approach the “finding alternatives” and avoiding tantrums to begin with.\n___________\n[1] Yang Y, Raine A.

He had horrible tantrums as a child and I’ve seen his mom in action with my own kids, isolating them with time outs and telling me ‘they’re playing the game’ with their tantrums. This explains so much. Thank you! I’ll keep trying. Your site has been such a great resource to me and I’ve seen a difference already with my kids when I reach out instead of pull back when they’re upset.\nI love this! So well said and explains exactly what I do at home. We rarely have tantrums. Sometimes an upset child, but everyone gets upset. Try taking a phone out of a friends hands while they are playing with it and watch them throw a tantrum! We can all do it and adults want a hug while not expecting the hugger to change the situation. It’s no different for kids.\nI love this article, wonderful as always 🙂\nI have one question though, you say “As an important aside, I acknowledge this method would likely work for children with certain disorders…” I was just wondering if you could elaborate on that? ie how you came to this, what you mean by “work”, and which disorders you are referring to? Maybe I am misunderstanding but I found that alarming.\nThank you for your article and in advance of your reply\nHi Petra,\nI’m referring specifically to behavioural interventions with children with Autism or ASDs. My reading of the research is that the experience of a tantrum can be very different and behaviourist techniques help these children in the long-term. I think it’s fair to question if they are still “good” for any population, but I would be remiss not to mention that the extensive literature on children with autism would suggest these methods work in ways that don’t hold for typically-developing populations. It’s similar to the reward chart issue – not effective or helpful with neurotypical kids, but can be highly helpful for neuroatypical kids.\nDoes that help?\nTracy\nThank you that helps my understanding yes, but not my alarm 😛\nAs an autistic individual myself I would encourage people to look at other reasons why these techniques appear to work, as well as anecdotal reports from autistic individuals who have had these techniques used on them… Personally I think it is a case of studies not measuring what they think they are, if that makes sense. As for anecdotal evidence… These techniques feel to most just like what one would expect – being ignored, being unloved or conditionally loved, etc. I honestly don’t believe that it is right to treat any child this way. Regardless of neurotype or how “difficult” they are. In fact, surely autistic children, who are often also what I would call more reactive/sensitive, benefit MORE from this kind of gentle, tailored, responsive parenting (hugs when needed, time alone when needed, a calming tone of voice when needed, and clear explanations always)\nI’m rambling I apologise but I honestly personally feel that we shouldn’t be promoting these techniques for any children, no matter how effective they may seem to be… And almost any autistic adult that has experienced similar will tell you they found them nigh on torturous. Sorry if that is very charged language?\nIt’s interesting that you should mention reward charts however, as I do believe you are right there, and I wasn’t aware of research that showed a difference between autistic and NT children in that 🙂 you learn something new every day\nThat’s excellent to hear – it jives with what I personally feel, but as the science is one way, it’s hard for me to vocalize that. I actually feel comfortable enough removing that section now 🙂\n🙂\nThank you a million thank yous! This has come at the perfect time. My son is throwing some massive tantrums at the moment and I was beginning to feel the pressure and mummy guilt that it was something I was doing wrong. I cannot thank you enough for this article, I feel ready to start a new day with the knowledge and confidence to accept his troubles and deal with them in a way I agree with!\nLucy\nGood stuff. This reminds me a great deal of the advice in How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk. If you haven’t read it, you might like it.\nI agree, that book is fantastic! It has saved my sanity, and my relationship with my daughter. As someone who has a very ‘charged’ response to my children crying, I struggle with the premise that parents can set aside their own feelings to help their children (clearly my own upbringing didn’t equip me to cope properly!). Faber and Mazlish also explore ways to respect your own feelings, whilst helping children deal with theirs, it’s great stuff!\nAs always, a stellar article that will not only help me parent better but help others to do the same. Thank you, Tracy! So grateful to have you as a resource.\nThank you for this article. I have been struggling with tantrums from my 3yr4mo son.\nI know he is struggling with “big emotions” as a normal part of development, added to which i am 34 weeks pregnant and daddy is away from home on a 5 week long training course. Your article has given me some concrete strategies to help him come to grips with this stage.\nI was wondering if you have any suggestions for strategies i can use in an “emergency” situation? By this i mean when time is an issue. We had a major melt down this morning as we were trying to get out of the house to childcare/work. I just didn’t know what to do!!!\nThanks.\nTime is hard. I would recommend discussing the morning chain of events the night before – what’s going to happen, why, and why his cooperation is needed. Say things might get hard, but you need him to cooperate and then you will cooperate with him later.\nWe are in a 3 day tantrum loop at the moment. Everything sets my 3 (nearly 4) year old daughter off. You can imagine we are both quite worn out and personally i am feeling desperate.\nThis method works perfectly with my 18 month old son, but it seems to do nothing for my daughter.\nWe have been working on empathetic parenting since she was 1 1/2…..with some setbacks and accomplishments along the way but we try very hard. The past three days I feel we are sliding more into the ignore method simply out of my own exhaustion with the situation as a whole. I keep reminding myself what to do and why she is throwing tantrums and how to respond, but it is certainly not easy as you say.\nMy question is: in the example given the child continues to argue even after the boundary is set. “No, you cant watch a movie” and the child continues to argue and ask; even the next day the child continues to ask and argue. Is this not setting up for more problems in the future?\nWouldn’t the ideal be only once or twice to tell them no and they should learn to accept that eventually? Wouldn’t this be reinforcing them to argue because they did not get there way? Being there for them, offering snuggles and not ignoring or giving in I get, but allowing them to keep going? Can you explain that in further detail please?\nWell, you could think of it as a negative or see it as you have a child that will fight for what she wants. I think that’s not such a bad trait to have! In fact, as an adult, isn’t it something we often laud?\nDepending on the age, I would sit down to negotiate. Find out why it’s so important, and perhaps find a time that the movie can be watched (like on the weekend).\nGreat read and so nice to read something that is evidence based, thank-you!\nYo are all too funny. Specially the article.\nAll behaviorism teaches is that reinforcing a behavior makes it more likely that the behavior will continue.\nYour recommendations to sit down and empathetically discuss a child’s feelings may have value, but the act of giving the child a pleasant outcome (1-on-1 attention that may delay a task that the child doesn’t want to do) is reinforcement. It doesn’t guarantee that more tantrums are likely, but it increases the odds that there will be more.\nAlso, conditioning a child to expect individual attention when they throw a tantrum can be very problematic in a school or preschool setting. If other kids see the angry child get special attention, they will learn that a tantrum is a way to get an adult’s attention. This is why ignoring a tantrum is valuable. It teaches groups of children that misbehavior will not result in more attention. The child who is used to empathetic conversations after tantrums at home will expect the teacher to do the same, and often they will escalate their misbehavior until they receive that attention.\nExcept we know it’s not quite true with children. For example, babies who are responded to when they cry, cry far less over time than babies who are not responded to. In distress, people can react of two ways when faced with behaviourist responses: They can give in and stop the behaviour, without addressing the issues and realities behind the behaviours, paving the way for long-term problems even if in the short-term things look “fine”, OR they can react even more strongly, which many kids do (and is likely linked to temperament).\nThere really is no good excuse to focus solely on the quick fix. Responding to distress isn’t “conditioning” – it’s what humans are supposed to do. It’s called empathically-related responding. I know we have very little empathy left, but it’s something we should be working on. I find it utterly depressing to read comments like yours which reinforce the problem instead of working towards solutions because of a faulty understanding of how and why children behave as they do.\nVery cool (and informative) article. I’ve been bracing myself for the tantrum phase because My oldest son’s was beyond challenging. The one thing that keeps getting repeated amongst the gentle parenting advocates is that tantrums have everything to do with communication, emotion, and brain development. My only question is, if it’s truly an inability to handle emotions because of brain development then why did my oldest only have them with me? I was a working mom at the time and my good friend was his nanny and spent countless hours with him. She and her husband took him everywhere and did everything with him…not one tantrum, ever. He didn’t have them in nursery school either. I didn’t give in and I didn’t ignore but I would often scold him and take away privileges. Spanking was never an option but I never felt 100% with the choices I made.\nLuckily that’s relatively easy to answer :). Children will often act out when they feel comfortable with a person. Otherwise, their discomfort or fear inhibits their expression of emotion. Consider it a testament to how comfortable and secure your child felt with you to respond in such a way.\nI am a great supporter of RIE but I just can’t get around the fact that all the examples include a one child solution. I am parenting my 3 children, and most of the issues happen when I am solo. That are all young and even my eldest at 7 cannot be rationalized with. How could I ha e handled your bedtime situation of sitting with then when I have two others to handle/ put to bed????\nThanks.\nIf you’re parenting solo with three it’s a while other kettle of fish in which you may need to set up a safe spot the child can express his/her emotions that doesn’t disturb the other kids as you put them down. Or use the disruption to everyone as part of the after discussion and planning ahead.\nIf you have a partner, this is the time to divide and conquer. I should mention I have a stepson too (half time and older but still in elementary school) so there are times my husband has had to focus on his needs while I handle the tantrum but I do have my partner around.\nHi Tracy,\nI have a question, how do you deal with a tantrum where my toddler is hurting me? He bites me or hits me. How do I tell him that’s wrong empathetically, stay with him and prevent him from continuing to hurt me? Thank you!\nHi Leng,\nYou can absolutely gently but firmly hold the child’s hands and tell them you won’t let them hurt you or if you need to, walk away for a moment, explaining that you won’t be hurt. And then you have to incorporate this into the discussion later on – so acknowledge the huge feelings that would lead to this and help find alternatives.\nCheers,\nTracy\nThank you so much for this article! You are making many parents better people 🙂 I have a question. After reading this I feel much better equipped to handle a tantrum triggered by me saying “no” to something and my kid facing frustration and disappointment. But what if the tantrum is caused by my KID being the one saying no, and it’s me trying to get them TO do something? Example: tonight we finished a pre bedtime activity with our 4 year old (he was done) and then we notified him it was potty time like usual. He immediately ran away from us and hid in his bed. We said two more times “potty time – please take off pants and undies and sit on the potty” but he kept refusing and running away. We told him if he didn’t we were going to take his pants off for him and make him sit there. This launched a 30 minute tantrum, including sobbing over the fact that he had to do this “every day” and that it is “boring”. Just not sure how to be firm yet empathetic without being physical and causing more distress. We ended up removing his pants and dragging him to the toilet twice (he put his pants back on the first time). It was a horrendous bedtime and he feel asleep still distressed (we sat with him in bed). Not sure what we should’ve done. Thank you if you have an answer for dealing with this kind of issue!\nHave you read this piece?\nI’m a little confused. I read the article you linked, but like the one above, it deals mainly with setting limits and stopping your kid from doing something they want (e.g. stop watching TV, stop accompanying you to bathroom, etc). My question was how do you get a child to DO something s/he doesn’t want to do and is tantrumming about (versus stopping them from doing something you don’t approve of). It feels like an impossible task, much different from setting a limit and standing your ground. In my case I physically picked up my child and put him on the toilet with him kicking and screaming, when he refused to do his pre bedtime potty routine. This wasn’t ideal! (Especially since he refused to pee…we can’t force that!) Another example would be when a kid refuses to put clothes on for the day and has a meltdown when you try and make them.\nThank you – I value your insights!\n[…] Tantrums: Moving Beyond the Black and White of Ignoring or Giving In […]\nHey Tracy, I just read this very insightful posting. I am a 25 year old male and, as a child, I threw tantrums probably 5-6 days a week for years. I would scream at the top of my lungs, cry (for hours..literally) and do anything I could to get my mother attention. My tantrums were always ignored (from what I can remember). I was raised to “not talk back” and to not question anything my mother would say (my mother raised me and my 3 brothers and sisters alone for years).\nNow that I am married and trying to build a harmonious relationship, I am finding all kinds of internal issues within myself that I can now relate to the way I was raised. I never realized these faults within myself until now- now that I have to express my emotions with someone who cares and expects that from me. Any time my partner upsets me, even for the slightest thing, I shut down. I cannot find the words to talk even though so much is racing through my mind, so many thoughts. I become flustered. I immediately want to be alone in a room and lay in my bed, in the dark, and not say a word. I have no control over it. I find myself feeling like the little boy I was year ago, alone and wishing I could speak my feelings. The best way to describe it is feeling like a balloon that is about to burst under the pressure of my emotions, but there is no release.\nMy brother and two sisters have the same issues. They are suffering in their relationship because they do not know how to be strong, confident, speak their emotions, or feel heard. I know my mother wasn’t intentional in her doings, but now we are all suffering the results of her “ignoring” way of parenting. I’m seeing a therapist now and my partner is too. He is learning how to “work” with me when I am in these states of mind that I can’t snap out of. He has learned that the best thing to do when I am feeling “trapped” in my thoughts and can’t speak is to just hold me, tell me he loves me, and not force me to have a conversation in that moment; We can talk about it later….\nWhen we have children, I will not ignore my child. When my child cries or is sad, I will hold him/her and tell them I love them and I understand they are upset. That’s all I ever wanted my mother to do when I was throwing my tantrum. I just didn’t feel that it was ok for me to tell her nor did I know how to express those feelings at the time.\nGrowing up I had a lot of problems that stemmed from me not being able to speak my emotions…… I would wake up angry, never told anyone what was bothering me.\nNow, my older sister has three children that she raises the same way my mother did us. I see the same exact issues with her kids. They are afraid to speak up, they throw tantrums, she ignores them, she yells, they are sad…they are timid when they speak. They are afraid to be judged.\nI applaud and thank you for your research and desire to educate others on this topic. The cycle needs to be broken with continued education on this topic.\nThank you\nThank you so much for sharing your story. It’s so important for people to realize that even if we don’t see the effects immediately in childhood, we can see them down the line (and often we don’t see them in childhood because we aren’t looking right). I’m so happy to hear you have such a supportive husband who can help you through this and who is willing to learn to help you. Any child you have will be beyond lucky to have such loving and caring fathers.\nxx\nTracy\nGreat article. I wonder if anyone had any tips for what to do when the child hits you in the course of the tantrum? My son will hit and then say ‘if you don’t do what I want, I’ll hit you again’.\nYou can hold his hands and tell him you won’t allow him to hit you. You can also tell him that you won’t be hurt by him so if he does it, you will move further away until hea ready for you to be close without hitting. Being there for our children does not mean inviting being hit, though it’s a totally normal response from an angry child.\nSuch an informative article. My husband and I are trying to deal with daily tantrums from our 3 year old and more recently and surprisingly our 6 year old! Our eldest is exploding in tears and anger at the most trivial of situations, having barely ever had a tantrum before! Sometimes he will breakdown before even asking for something as he knows we will say no and then when he is in floods of tears/angry he refuses any comfort and sometimes says he wants to be on his own or screams that we don’t look at him. Quite often he will go to a room with a mirror and watch himself cry. Now I do think he is tired as he and his little brother have recently started sharing a room and he’s getting woken up at 5am and they regularly start playing. So we are working on letting him get more sleep but I’m struggling to know how to deal with him when having a meltdown as he pushes me away so much. Help!\nI don’t have the link handy as I’m on my phone but if you search for “my child wontet me comfort” you will find an article about dealing with this very issue. It’s not an easy time but it’s not inherently a bad thing either. And 6 is a tough time. Lots of changes and Big emotions 😃\nHi regarding Melinda’s comment/request, I too followed the link you provided and read the post but cannot relate the setting boundaries and fluidity in boundaries to helping a defiant child. Perhaps if u could provide an example as your examples are especially easy to understand and apply. Or perhaps this will be the topic of an upcoming blog post. Thank you so much.\nIt’s hard to write a specific post because each child is unique. I would want to know what the child is defiant on, how the defiance manifests, and what the logical consequences are that are in place for children in that specific situation.\nVery nice work – thanks for the article."}

{"text": "The scoreboard posted the ending results at Staples Center, and quickly, an enticing scene in a sudden-death situation erupted an electric crowd that never had to shut their eyes or bite nails, but loudly cheered the Los Angeles Lakers to an 89-67 victory in a crucial Game 6 of the NBA Finals.\nIf you felt a jolt or heard a rattling sound, it wasn’t an earthquake that shivered Southern California recently, but it was the Lakers rising above a disappointing loss to force a Game Seven, refusing to stumble in an elimination game.\nIt hasn’t been a spectacular series, but a nerve-racking series for the defending champs by meeting the Boston Celtics, it’s archenemies in a rematch seeking to avenge a miserable 39-point loss two years ago.\nIn theory of the Lakers, it’s very clear that Team Hollywood knew much was at stake, performing brilliantly and responding with urgency and fortitude, to survive a redemptive series in which the Lakers tries to mount a legacy.\nLate in the fourth quarter, he walked to the bench and received a standing ovation from the crowd before he sat on the sideline, wearing a towel and a pleasant facial expression, delighted with the recovery in a must-needed game.\nIt was Kobe Bryant, who was faulted for the Lakers’ mental lapses and physical inadequacies to implode chemistry and disrupt the energy and drive of his supporting cast, facilitating and involving his teammates by spreading the floor and drilling well-advised shots.\nThe timing couldn’t be better for a composed and smarter Bryant, the greatest closer in the game known for obliterating defenders with his sequential scoring and miraculous shots.\nIt isn’t often in sports when a man with a selfish modus or arrogance, accepts an applause subsequently being described as a pompous, self-centered hypocrite who ultimately abandoned his teammates and hurled too many irresponsible shots.\nFor all the abuse he took, from the no-call when Paul Pierce snatched the ball out of his hands in Game 5, from the doubters constantly scorning the greatest player in the game, from the media blaming him of the Lakers recent falters, he was absolutely the man setting the tone early.\nHe almost took most of the finger pointing for deranging the Lakers offense and defensive commitments, but now he’s not hearing the displeasing questions from inquisitive reporters in the interview room, commended for minimizing his shooting percentage and playing the specific role of a virtuous overseer with cultured leadership.\nThey were a baffling unit, almost committing championship suicide as a championship-caliber team and the most talented franchise, without any discipline, toughness or star power.\nBut suddenly, the Lakers were serious about staying alive and protecting its title by repeating glory once again, persevered and fervent to symbolize the symmetry of valued mystique and tradition.\nHere were the Lakers again, escaping a soft, indolent and complacent attitude, as fans supporting purple and gold believes in the home team, believes there’ll be another parade on Figueroa, believes that Bryant will obtain his fifth championship, and believes purple and gold confetti will fall from the Staples Center rafters when the Lakers hoist the trophy Thursday with a win over the Celtics.\nFor the first time this series, they exploded with much parity and urgency, to pull away midway in the second quarter and never blew a large margin. Normally, the Lakers lose huge leads for becoming to comfortable and inattentive, but not on the night a credible season was endangered of missing out on a title.\nAt least once, a glorious journey almost ended wasteful, dropping Game Five in a hostile territory, booed and badmouthed by the unfriendly Celtics fans. It’s a different unit avoiding the same type of mistakes that cost them the last game, with a new makeover after returning to Hollywood invincible and unbeatable.\nTurns out the average citizen was granted their wish after all, prepared to witness a Game Seven of the NBA Finals, following a triumphant performance that gives the Lakers an advantage with home court advantage and the greatest closer.\nIf the Celtics dares to win and travel home with the trophy and celebrate by marching in a parade, they may not outlast or outwork the Lakers in the final game of the season, when L.A. dictated the ultimate standpoint of the series and seized all vitality, realizing they are a win away from sustaining back-to-back triumph.\nBy avenging consecutive losses in Boston, the Lakers forced a seventh game with the series tied at three games apiece.\nSo now, the latest chapter in the NBA Finals is a historic and bitter rivalry, in which two storied rivals will meet on the hardwood for a crazy, tense showdown that will write an epic classic as one memorable event in ages. In desperate moments, winner takes all. Amid a pair of legacies, each opponent is craving a taste of the hardware.\n“This is definitely a special treat for the NBA,” said Ray Allen. “We’re going to Game 7, and this is the finals, and it’s the Celtics and Lakers.”\nEven though the Larry O’Brien trophy was ready to be presented to the Celtics, it has to wait a few nights before the worthy one wins it all, whether the Lakers avenges its failures two seasons ago or the Celtics shatter the hearts of Hollywood.\nIn present, was the Celtics legend Bill Russell, who couldn’t bear to glance at the painful rout and left for the exit with three minutes remaining.\nFor most of the night, he watched the Lakers push and abuse the archenemies, he watched the entire team dominate the villains, he merely watched Bryant have a stellar game with 26 points and 11 rebounds, and he watched Pau Gasol come close to a triple-double, bouncing back from a dreadful contest with 17 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.\nIf Celtics center Kendrick Perkins never had collapsed with Andrew Bynum midway in the first quarter, departing with a sprained knee, maybe Boston might have stayed within double-digits. It’s unfortunate to loss Perkins, a muscular center with incredible strength and size in establishing as a post defender and slow down the Lakers from overworking the Celtics in the paint.\n“It’s a big disadvantage,” said Bryant. “He’s a big emotional leader for the team. I’m sure it didn’t help them, him going down.”\nIt’s often bad to dismiss the Lakers, but a loss in the next game will probably go down as one of the biggest upsets in NBA history.\nMeanwhile, the Lakers raises closer in capturing redemption and vengeance. And if Bryant is ever described as one of the greatest basketball stars of all-time, he immensely need contributions from his supporting cast, similar to what his teammates exploited when Ron Artest finally wasn’t confused and had 15 points and badgered Pierce with his defensive mentally.\nBut the bigger factor was Gasol, who shot 19 times in 40 minutes, finally stood up to a sluggish Kevin Garnett and played with much toughness as his soft demeanor quickly vanished.\nWhen the Lakers come out with high-energy and urgency, it usually stimulates the bench, as Shannon Brown electrified the crowd on a pair of high-flying dunks that were created off of two of the seven turnovers the Lakers forced.\n“We want to carry everything we did tonight to Game 7, and then I think we’ll be in very good place to win,” said Gasol. “When you bring the intensity we did tonight, good things are going to happen.”\nThe capacity crowd chanted “BOSTON SUCKS! BOSTON SUCKS!” after averaging 67 points, the second-lowest in NBA Finals history. Early on, the Lakers slaughtered the C’s, cruising to a 22-point lead in the first half as the Lakers sturdy defense forced Boston to shoot a horrible 33 percent from the field and had only 13 points from the bench. On positive terms, all the Lakers need to fulfill a wonderful and memorable moment in a potential epic showdown is another win.\nFor now, the Lakers are meaner, fiercer and hungrier than the Celtics. At least it looks that way."}

{"text": "Drunk driving in Essex County\nCar accidents can be caused by many different factors. When these factors involve the negligence and poor decision-making on the part of others, the angst that victims can experience is great. Such is the case when a serious accident results when a person who is too drunk to drive still gets behind the wheel of a vehicle.\nHow prevalent is drunk driving in Essex County?\nA quick glance at news headlines tells readers that drunk driving is more prevalent than it should be. A story in the Eagle Tribune recounted the criminal charges now facing a Massachusetts state trooper for his role in a drunk driving car crash in North Andover. The man and his passenger were both injured when the vehicle ran into a utility pole. The passenger was sent by helicopter to a hospital in Boston due to the severity of his injuries. The trooper is currently awaiting trial in the case.\nPatch.com gave details about an accident that sent four victims, including two children, to the hospital after a drunk driver hit their car. The impaired driver drove into oncoming traffic and hit the other car head-on.\nA man in Marlborough was arrested for his fifth drunk driving incident according to WHDH.com. A minor was also riding in the vehicle when police stopped the driver. WCVB.com reported on a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority bus driver who was arrested for driving drunk. The report suggests it is not fully known whether she was coming home from work or on her way to work when she was arrested.\nWhat do the statistics show?\nData from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that nearly one-third of all vehicular fatalities in Essex County in 2013 were caused by drunk drivers. Out of a total of 33 deaths, 10 resulted from accidents involving alcohol.\nOther NHTSA statistics for that year show the following:\n- Suffolk County also recorded 10 drunk driving deaths.\n- In Norfolk County, 11 people died in drunk driving accidents.\n- In Middlesex County, 12 lives were lost at the hands of drunk drivers.\nStatewide, a total of 326 deaths resulted in automobile crashes. Of those deaths, 118 are attributed to drunk driving crashes.\nVictims should take action\nPeople who are injured or lose loved ones in drunk driving accidents should always be prepared to get help. Compensation for injuries and loss is important. Talking to an attorney when these situations arise is recommended.\nKeywords: drunk driving, accident, injury"}

{"text": "A writer for The Indianapolis Star, in a review of a June 4 Glen Campbell concert in the Indiana city, wrote: .”\nOn Wednesday (June 22), that writer was having an aha! moment. Campbell, 75, in an exclusive interview with People magazine revealed that he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a degenerative neurological disorder. Campbell’s wife, Kim, sat in on the interview.\n“Glen is still an awesome guitar player and singer,” Kim Campbell said. “But if he’s flubs a lyric or gets confused on stage, I wouldn’t want people to think, ‘What’s the matter with him? Is he drunk?’ ”\nThe couple said Campbell has suffered short-term memory loss “for years,” but the Alzheimer’s diagnosis only came six months ago.\n“I still love making music,” Campbell said. “And I still love performing for my fans. I’d like to thank them for sticking with me through thick and thin.”\nNew Orleans area fans will have the chance to show Campbell some love on July 15, when his “Goodbye Tour” stops at the IP Casino and Spa in Biloxi, Miss.\nMeanwhile, Campbell is at work on a new album, “Ghost on the Canvas,” and has a new single out titled “A Better Place.” The single includes the foreboding lyrics, “I need the ones I love Lord/More and more each day.”\nWorking on the album with Campbell is producer Julian Raymond, who gave the singer a cool late-career boost and introduced him to a new generation of fans with the 2008 album “Meet Glen Campbell.” On that one, Campbell covered songs by such modern rock acts as Green Day, Velvet Underground and the Replacements.\nCampbell’s classic hits include “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Galveston” and “Southern Nights,” written by New Orleans-born Allen Toussaint. Campbell, a native of the small town of Delight, Ark., (pronounced DEE-light), also paid homage to his home state with \"Arkansas (Land of Opportunity).\" He also starred along with John Wayne in the original \"True Grit\" movie (1969).\nBut the song that many people will always remember Campbell for is 1975’s “Rhinestone Cowboy.” Watch the video below:"}

{"text": "From rescue to recovery: towards a sustainable transition for China after the COVID-19 pandemic\nA submission to the China Development Forum 2020.\nTransforming China’s economy for a stronger, more sustainable and resilient future in a changing world will involve action across many fronts. In this paper the authors focus on two key strands of analysis and action necessary to generate incentives for firms, workers and government at different levels, to foster and deliver recovery and the new form of growth:\n- The first is the coordinated development of clean, compact and connected (CCC) cities alongside the restructuring of existing metropolitan areas.\n- The second involves drivers of structural change, including institutional, fiscal and financial underpinnings.\nMain messages\n- China’s 14th Plan must take into account both its own challenge and the world context while planning the move from rescue to recovery from COVID-19.\n- China’s export-led growth strategy is now at risk, given that major trading partners have yet to transition from the pandemic rescue stage and are facing deep recessions. Consequently, the economic recovery phase in China must embody a shift to domestic consumption, bolstered by the strengthening of innovation and new urban design, governance and fiscal institutions.\n- A shift is needed from the export-oriented megacity ‘hubs’ on the eastern seaboard to CCC cities, supplemented by the development of zones of non-contiguous innovation activities and of the sustainable urban transformation embodied by this structural change.\n- These measures must be based on clean sources of energy and low-carbon technologies that facilitate e-commerce, management of big data, and fin-tech.\n- COVID-19 has highlighted that high population density can be problematic where there are highly contagious diseases. CCC cities will require design and strategies that leverage the very strong advantages of living and working in close proximity to others, while managing the difficulties these features create in terms of disease transmission.\n- It is easier to design clean and efficient buildings, grids and infrastructure in more manageable county-size sub-jurisdictions and CCC cities than in the metropolises. For this infrastructure to function well, accountability for delivery of services and local tax and financing mechanisms will be crucial.\n- Fiscal reforms will be needed to ensure that investment programmes, including stimulus packages, provide sustainable incentives to firms, workers and governments at different levels, strengthen local budgets and facilitate access to private finance without exacerbating fiscal risks.\n- The proposed restructuring of central transfers directly to cities and counties and making ‘special purpose bonds’ available for infrastructure is a good start. But it is important to go beyond transfers and borrowing to include local own-source taxes, to reduce risk and ensure greater local accountability for the new responsibilities.\n- Appropriate local own-tax instruments or handles, administered by the State Tax Administration, are critical for accountability."}

{"text": "If you need medical assistance, you should go to the emergency room of the nearest hospital, a clinic for medical or should you call your doctor and make an appointment? You need to know what needs to be done before requiring medical intervention. Let’s take a look at that.\nThere is a difference between having a cough or a sore foot and suffering from severe chest pains. Need to let the symptoms of your health problem will help determine whether you need the ER or clinic for medical (known as urgent care centers in some areas). If you believe that the condition is severe or life threatening then you shouldn’t go into a clinic but must immediately call 911 or call an ambulance. If someone is there with you when the problem occurs, then find your way to the emergency room without delay. Time is of the essence, when there is a medical emergency.\nThe Emergency Department of a hospital treats people who have health conditions that require immediate attention. If your medical problem is something that needs to be treated right away, then you need help from the medical staff found work in the Emergency Department. Here you will find help for different types of problems of heart attacks with deep cuts to severe head injuries. Pressing the injuries, even though they are relatively simple require help that can only be found in the hospital. Care and treatment for patients is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.\nFor minor medical needs medical care clinic is the best choice, unless of course they are able to make an appointment with your doctor that day. Most clinics offer services of cabins, but also offer the possibility to call in advance if you can. If you call ahead so at least you’ll have an idea of how much time you will spend in the waiting room.\nIn this structure there are qualified doctors and nurses who care for you or your children are the ones who are sick. If you have a cold, cough or sore throat that won’t go away and you are unable to see the doctor, then you need a medical clinic. If you have a pain that is non-threatening and debilitating, you should visit an urgent care facility to be watched. This is the place to go for a possible UTI, ear aches, ankles or wrists, pulled you dislocate muscles and other types of secondary injury.\nIn a clinic for medical treatment will be seen in the order that you signed up, but in some cases more serious medical problems will be treated first. Patients will be evaluated for non-life threatening and serious medical problems requiring urgent assessment on the same day.\nTidak ada komentar:\nPosting Komentar"}
