Nepali Army Rangers’ ANTC (Aikido Nippon Kan Training Center), de-facto standard Nepali Army’s Aikido Headquarter, led by Dan Gurung, Nepali Army’s Chief Aikido Instructor & an Aikido instructor acknowledged by Aikido Nippon Kan U.S. Headquarters, train 100+ Aikido instructor-candidates annually through a training regimen of 6 hours of training per day for 10 months. Approximately 50 apprentice instructors have completed the instructor training program to date, and they have been dispatched to different regiments throughout Nepal as well as to the Nepal’s U.N. Peacekeepers Unit.
Additionally, since the founding of the WWY (We are With You) Project, for which AHAN Nippon Kan played an integral role with support from the Nepalese Army after the April 2015 Nepal earthquake to promote healthy development of youngsters in Nepal, including orphans from the earthquake, over 300 youngsters have enrolled in the project, and about 50 are signed up in a leadership training program. Upon the completion of the program, these leadership candidates are to be dispatched throughout Nepal to proliferate WWY activities to support youngsters in Nepal.
It must also be mentioned that memorial parties were held for Emily sensei by those whose lives had been and are still being positively affected by her legacy to commemorate the 1-year anniversary of Emily sensei’s departure from our world.

Organizations implementing the requirements of ISO Management System standards [MSS] viz. ISO 9001; ISO 14001; ISO 22301; ISO 27001; ISO 45001; ISO 50001 etc. mean that customers availing their products and services can have confidence that they are safe, reliable and of good quality and in compliance with the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. ISO’s standards on various Management Systems help make the world a safer place. Regulators and governments count on ISO standards to help develop better regulation, knowing they have a sound basis thanks to the involvement of globally-established experts.
– Mandatory if you want to tender for some public-sector work.
Notwithstanding this significant awareness there is still utter of lack of awareness among the manufacturers of goods & services. No doubt, the entrepreneurs that are already ISO certified undergo frequent renewals and re-certifications, many others are still lagging and fail to go for an ISO certification.
Excess Theory: Often to attain a desirable MSS, organizations often tend to emphasize on theory than practical implementation. It should be kept in mind that due implementation of a MSS adds real value to an organisation.
Mere Documentation: Often companies tend to focus too much on documentation and criteria for the certification, sometimes at the cost of their normal operation. This further impedes the implementation of ISO certification process. As a wise manager, one should include only the most crucial documentation and at the right time.
Lack of Flexibility: Too much rigidity also impedes implementation and improvement. This is noticed in the case of technological upgrading. Very importantly, customer preferences are constantly changing. Thus, the MSS must also evolve accordingly.
Lack of Attention To The Consumers: Sometimes, in an attempt to reach the desired levels, the organizations tend to ignore the customer preferences. One must not forget that customer satisfaction is the basis of achievement of an MSS Certification.
Excess Competition: In many cases, it has been seen that the competitive spirit in some organizations goes overboard. Sometimes, this reduces motivation. Instead, they must focus on client satisfaction.
The Auditor/ Lead Auditor Training Programs are accredited by International Register of Certificated Auditors [IRCA].
IRCA is the leading professional body for management system auditors. IRCA represents over 10,000 registered auditors in 150 countries and every year, around 60,000 delegates attend an IRCA approved training course.
Internationally recognized [IRCA accredited] certificate for Lead Auditor of the respective ISO Management Systems issued by Intertek upon successful completion of the course.
ISO 9001:2015 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS).
ISO 22301:2012 Business Continuity Management System.
ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management Systems certification guides a company.
The ISO 27001:2013 is a specification for an information security management system best known (ISMS).

These are delicious, moist biscuits…I used the Cheddar cheese in blocks from Costco (called PriceSmart here). My husband was over the moon with these biscuits! They were practically perfect! You have to try them! You will think you are cheating! So good! They make a wonderful alternative for garlic bread with low-carb lasagna or any meal where you are accustomed to serving garlic bread. These are so good, you’ll feel like you are cheating!
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Gluten-Free, Grain-Free Bake Mix, baking powder, erythritol and salt. In food processor or stand mixer, process egg, almond milk, butter, gelatin and garlic. Add dry ingredients; process. Stir in Cheddar cheese; process 12 seconds only. Using ice cream scoops, drop batter on parchment paper in domes, no more than three in a row vertically as they do spread a bit. Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown underneath and on top. While hot, brush the biscuits with Garlic Butter Glaze.
Garlic Butter Glaze: In small bowl, melt butter in microwave oven and stir in parsley and garlic.
Helpful Hints: I have also made these with 1/4 cup (60 mL) butter. They spread more, are very crispy on the outside and soft inside. No need to open them to butter them…they are good just as they are. Bake for 30 minutes and during the last 10 minutes, cover with foil.

Sweet Accent: It can be heartwarming to hear your beloved from abroad speak your language with a charming accent. However it can lead to surprises too. Wendy: "It does happen that couples are surprised to learn about different aspects of their partner's personality only when they learn the language of the partner or improve their common love language."
Way of saying things: Wendy explains: "‘Honey bunny'might sound sweet in English, but often a direct translation sounds silly or even rude." Colloquial expressions and terms of endearment will only be understood when you have basic skills in the language.
Family connection: Language will help to build strong bonds with your partner's family and understand his cultural background. "The relationship with your mother-in-law is often difficult enough when you share a common mother tongue, never mind when you have a language barrier on top of it!",says Wendy.
Bilingual kids: Speaking the language of your significant other will also help when raising your kids. Wendy explains: "My husband is Austrian and we raise our daughter bilingually. When she speaks English with me, she might use German words or phrases that she learns in kindergarten. Because I am fluent in German, I understand what she wants to tell me and I can proactively correct her."
smart phone. Complete with state-of-the-art speech-recognition technology, the interactive language learning solution gets you speaking from the very first lesson.
Wendy Williams: "I met an American-French/Vietnamese couple notlong ago. They had been squabbling about some mundane household issues, and in frustration, the French/Vietnamese woman tearfully said, ‘I rove you, but sometimes I ate you too'. In this one sentence, her American partner suddenly understood the challenges she faced living abroad and what a struggle it was not to speak her native language. He was so moved by her emotion and charming accent that he fell on his knees and asked her to marry him." A new language doesn't only open horizons – you get to know people and cultures from all over the world – a new language also can bring surprises to your love life.

Today, Ambassador Ben Wigley from Superior Seals presented at the “Supporting Manufacturing” event at Bournemouth University. The event was well attended with senior figures from local industry, NAS (National Apprenticeship Service) and the LEP (Local Enterprise Partnership). Ben spoke about his particular Apprenticeship journey to date and how he has benefited from it; his presentation was very well received amid favourable comments from all in attendance.
Today we welcomed National Apprentice Service (NAS) to Superior Seals to train our Apprentice Ambassadors. This training will help our young Apprentice Ambassadors when they attend events speaking to students, parents, teachers and employers. Very soon our Apprentices Ambassadors will be attending various events shouting the message “get with apprenticeships”!

Paintings by Natalia Will Impress You – What a Talent!
I have a friend who I have known now for over 10 years! We have studied together, and then she branched out into Art, and has become a great painter. She has always been doing crafts, and homemade one-of-a-kind pieces, like clothing, and bags, and now she has found a true passion of hers – painting! I love her paintings as they show her true heart and soul, and show the world through her prism based on her background and life experiences. She has travelled so much, and is extremely artistic, and can see the world in beautiful colors – enjoy!
Here is her website – Paintings by Natalia – enjoy! She specializes in landscapes, flowers, abstract paintings as well. I find that her colors are just outstanding! She is quite prolific, and has been improving so much over the years at her craft! She has also had a lot of exhibitions over the years of her art, and her art is certainly very affordable. She is a local Montreal artist, born in Russia. It is quite interesting how she puts together all her travelling experiences, her Russian and Canadian background to create her masterpieces. She has learned a lot of painting techniques, and is definitely a professional now – what a great result after years of practice! She definitely has a talent, and hopefully will be able to continue creating lots of masterpieces over the years.
Wow!! Just gorgeous!! Truly talented!!
Really nice paintings. Fun to know real artists.

One of the most under-rated and singularly brilliant songwriters, producers and artists around.
The song “Old Heads” is a sci-fi space anthem to technology that constantly replaces itself, proving both necessary and unnecessary at the same time. It’s also a jangly pop gem, a trip through the fantastical that is ultimately warm and relatable. This remarkable coexistence is one of many achievements of Chad VanGaalen’s Light Information, his sixth record on Sub Pop.

Sandpoint is a civilized complement to a naturally inspired setting. It occupies a superlative piece of shoreline along one of the West’s finest large sylvan lakes. Sheltered by surrounding pine-forested mountains, the town has a relatively temperate four season climate. Idaho’s first permanent structure was built nearby in 1809. But, major settlement in the isolated location was forestalled until the 1880s following the completion of a transcontinental railroad through the townsite coupled with development of a local timber industry.
The railroad and forest products are still important. Today, thanks to the splendid lakeside location and a major ski area nearby, Sandpoint is being “discovered” as a year-round vacation destination. Downtown blends a frontier heritage and a contemporary Western outlook in a number of specialty shops, galleries, and appealing restaurants. Most lodgings are near downtown and a large lakefront park with fine-sand beaches, swimming areas, and an adjoining marina.

Premis was engaged and completed the delivery of multiple environments at Baringa Hospital in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales.
Scope of the project included the refurbishment of an existing operating theatre being converted into an Endovascular Theatre and Control Room. This was also in line with the installation of GE and Stryker equipment. Additionally the hospital’s commercial kitchen was completely refurbished including an extension to the building to incorporate new cold and freezer rooms. A structural steel Plant Deck was also constructed to house required plant and equipment.
This complex project was delivered in three stages, this was primarily due to the design restrictions of the space.
It also remained live throughout the duration of the project.

Daily doodles and the links Google shares in search aren’t a news story for me to share. Until, I noticed this one about the bike and Google translate. His Name is Dnyan and he’s riding a bike.
With only a tent, a bicycle, and Google Translate, he’s riding a four-year journey. And, doing so to learn from a world of people.
Every morning, Dnyan Yewaktar does what millions of people do: He gets ready for a bike ride. The difference? His destination is never the same. It might be a Buddhist temple in South Korea, a hostel in Tokyo, or a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Havana.
For the past two years, Dnyan has been traveling from country to country, riding his bike through small towns and big cities, with a singular focus. His goal is to ride in Gandhi’s footsteps, spreading peace, love, and compassion. To do so, he hopes to meet as many people as he can, learn from them, and share what he knows about the world.
The connection to Google is Dynan is using Translate. Most inspiring, is he measures the success of his mourning in the people who have left an imprint on his soul.
It’s a great story and should appeal to anyone that’s thought about giving it all up and riding around the world. The last time I remember Google publishing stories about the bike is when they launched Bike Maps and their bikes.

Home > News > Industry News > What does PPE stand for?
PPE stands for personal protective equipment. PPE means any device or appliance designed to be worn or held by an individual for protection against one or more health and safety hazards.
Hard hats are normally supplied with an information tag attached giving advice & lifetime expectancy. Some manufacturers say 3 years, others say an in use life of up to 5 years. Obviously how much exposure that they have had, how they have been stored, how many knocks they have had will determine the replacement interval.
Safety helmets need to be changed when damaged, when they have been involved in an accident, when affected by sunlight and so forth. Hard hats will need replacing when the harness is damaged or if it is likely that the shock absorption or penetration resistance has deteriorated. For example, when the shell has received a severe impact, or if deep scratches occur (i.e. to a depth greater than 25% of the shell thickness) or if the shell has any visible cracks. Good maintenance will also keep the hat in good working order and prolong its life. Assuming they have been well maintained & none of the above apply , replace according to manufacturer's instructions.
(e) have the sweatband cleaned regularly or replaced.
Certain chemicals can weaken the plastic of the shell leading to rapid deterioration in shock absorption or penetration resistance. Chemicals that should be avoided include aggressive cleaning agents or solvent based adhesives and paints. Where names or other markings need to be applied using adhesives, advice should be sought from the helmet manufacturer.

The Coalition for a Healthy Darke County is continually working to provide resources and support in the form of education and prevention programs to help adolescents and at risk youth achieve their full potential.
In February 2017, Attorney General Mike DeWine's office released the recommendations of the Ohio Joint Study Committee on Drug Use Prevention Report.
In his letter to fellow Ohioans, DeWine wrote, "At least eight people are dying each day in Ohio from accidental drug overdoses. The opioid epidemic has spread to every county, city and village in Ohio. Without question, it is the worst drug epidemic I've witnessed in my lifetime."
DeWine noted that during the study, "The experts routinely told us that repetitive, comprehensive school-based education was necessary to successfully combat addiction. While schools are making an effort to provide this education, time and resource constraints are often barriers to these comprehensive efforts."
The Ohio Joint Study Committee’s report offers a plan to incorporate drug education in all grade levels,” said Coalition President Sharon Deschambeau.
Deschambeau also serves as the president of the Darke County Chamber of Commerce and indicated that investing in substance abuse prevention education for our children at an early age may benefit our businesses and communities in the long term.
“Perhaps we will see a difference in the health of our future workforce by changing the culture in Darke County for our children through substance abuse prevention education grants,” she said.
The Coalition distribution of Substance Abuse Prevention Education Grants in 2017-2018 totaling $21,000 was celebrated with a photo of community members that received grants including the school districts of Arcanum-Butler, Franklin Monroe, Greenville, Mississinawa and Tri-Village. Additionally, St. Mary's Catholic School and the peer-led student group We Are The Majority received grants. Joining the photo were school representatives, School Resource Officers, Coalition board members, Darke County Chamber board members and donors.
The grants were made possible through financial donations from Matt and Angie Arnold, Coalition for a Healthy Darke County, Darke County United Way, Wayne and Sharon Deschambeau, Premier Health, Ramco Electric Motors, Rotary Club of Greenville, Second National Bank, Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services, Wayne HealthCare, and Wayne HealthCare Foundation. The total grant impact reached 5,819 students 205 adults.
Are you a drug, alcohol and tobacco free high school student living in Darke County? Are you between the ages of 15-18 and willing to take a free drug screening?
Do you want a "drug-free driver discount" on your car insurance?
Do you want additional school perks? Do you like saving money at local businesses?
Go to Recovery and Wellness of Midwest Ohio, 600 Walnut Street, Greenville, OH 45331, on Monday-Wednesday by 5:00 p.m. and request the "Drug-Free Driver" Student drug-screen. Trained treatment staff members will provide a supervised urine screen. No appointment is needed, but you may call ahead and ask for Roberta Short.
Wait for drug-screen response which typically takes 72 hours.
Return to Recovery and Wellness to pick up and sign your "Drug-Free Driver Card", which states you are drug-free at time of the test and that you agree to random testing for the following 6 months. Complete the paperwork and pick up a "perk discount bag" for being a drug-free student.
The Drug-Free Student Driver Discount Program is in partnership with American Family Insurance. Funding partners include the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County, Darke County United Way and Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services.

In August 1985, the Law Reform Commission of Canada released a working paper entitled "The Legal Status of the Federal Administration." The working paper calls for a re-examination of the concept of the federal Crown in Canadian law. In this article, Professor Cohen undertakes a critical examination of the focus and methodology of the Commission's work. Professor Cohen commends the Commission for its excursion into the field of law reform and the state, but points out that this working paper represents an incomplete and flawed treatment of the subject. In light of this, Professor Cohen proceeds to describe and evaluate what in his view are the more significant ideas involved in the study of law reform and the state.

When a friend of mine heard that we are going to Texas for the winter he couldn’t stop talking about KILLER BEES… Turns out the county we are in is actually considered the Killer Bee Capitol of Texas ( or of something ) …BUT since this is ‘MERICA we celebrate rather than hiding in fear and so infront of the City Building in Hidalgo is a big statue of a killer bee. And we can proudly declare that we have seen it and have not been stung.

— Update: The Lincoln Top Gear Air date has been changed to July 31, 8pm, BBC2.
The date for the Top Gear episode featuring Lincoln has been revealed on TV listing websites.
The BBC motoring show, now in its 17th series, will broadcast the Lincoln episode on Sunday, July 24, at 8pm on BBC 2.
Co-hosts Jeremy Clarkson and James May visited the city on May 12 while testing two electric cars — the Nissan Leaf and Peugeot iOn.
Unfortunately, both cars ran out of electricity and the pair had to search the city for somewhere to charge the cars, settling in the end at the university.
According to the Radio Times, the pair were testing the electric cars trying to get across the county to the seaside.
As well as the electric car challenge, the show will also see Clarkson test out an F1-style Lotus, while third co-host Richard Hammond meets a rally team of ex-military amputees.
The stunt in Lincoln not only pulled in crowds, but also conspiracy theories. In previous series, Top Gear had pushed a Tesla electric car into a garage when it supposedly ran out of juice.
This ‘push’ was later found to be fake, and the car actually had enough “fuel” to run further. All Cars Electric believe that the same could have happened in Lincoln.
“Pictures rarely tell the whole story, as is the case here.
“Top Gear has confirmed to us that the crew intentionally drained the battery to inject suspense into the mission of finding a public charge spot.
“To be brutally honest our visit to Lincoln is a matter of circumstance because the cars ran out of electricity and there was nothing we could really do about that.

The Employer again came to the table with no further movement regarding their financial package, which remains a 0% wage increase and a one-year contract – even though we are aware the outgoing CEO will be receiving tens of thousands of dollars as an exit package.
Low Census language – to simplify and improve language around how nurses can be low censused.
Successorship language in case WhidbeyHealth is ever sold. Would ensure any new owners would be bound by the CBA and that all your contractual rights continued to be honored.
Stay tuned for information regarding a local unit meeting in the next few weeks.
PTO donations reminder: We are counting on your help since every negotiation session we attend is unpaid. Our only options are to use our PTO or take No Pay to attend negotiations. Please support your team and donate. Per the agreement, one hour is the minimum you can donate. Thanks to those who have already made donations!
Will you be a PTO donation ambassador? Local Unit Chair Gwen Parrick reports that she hasn't heard from anyone regarding acting as an ambassador. If you are interested, contact her at gwensparrick@hotmail.com.
Also, the unit that raises the most PTO hours will get a prize (based on donations by unit/number of nurses, so smaller units have a just as good a shot at winning)!
Session #7 will take place Thursday, April 18. We have tentative future dates on May 14 and May 26. Stay tuned!
Our team had scheduled their day as any other, meeting at 8 a.m. and expecting to meet with management around 9:30. We were notified by the employer, at the last minute the evening before, that they would not be ready to meet until 1:30 p.m. They gave no further movement regarding their financial package, which remains a 0% wage increase and a one-year contract.
The contract expired yesterday, March 31. Since WhidbeyHealth is a public entity, we are covered by an "Evergreen year" concept. This means the contract automatically renews (rolls over) for one year. Therefore, all your rights and benefits remain intact.
We have pushed hard at each negotiation session to get language in the contract for successorship. Our proposal would offer protection for the bargaining unit if the hospital were ever purchased by another entity. That purchaser would be required to work with the union and keep the collective bargaining agreement. We continue to press on this important issue.
Our WSNA Negotiating Team of RNs from WhidbeyHealth met with hospital management on March 20, 2019, for our fourth session.
After waiting all this time, management came back with a proposal for 0% wage increases and a 1-year contract, plus no consideration for our other premiums. This is extremely disappointing and we expressed our shock and outrage to Management.
Management also repeated that there is not a staffing problem at this Hospital, despite the staffing concerns we have repeatedly raised.
We have reached agreement on some articles but still have a long way to go. When pressed, management was forced to acknowledge that overtime continues to be a problem in the MAC and have backed off their proposal to remove the overtime premium.
PTO DONATIONS: We need your help! We nurses on the WSNA Bargaining Team are using our own PTO or taking No Pay to attend negotiations. Please donate as much PTO as you can, but 1 hour is the minimum you can donate.
Will you be a PTO Donation Ambassador? We are asking for nurses to be their unit’s PTO Donation Ambassador, to go out and help secure PTO donations to help our negotiating team members get some compensation for missed hours. Contact Local Unit Chair Gwen Parrick if you are interested at: gwensparrick@hotmail.com.
Our team of WSNA registered nurses from WhidbeyHealth met with the management team for our third session on Wednesday, March 13.
We were able to get a TA (Tentative Agreement) on a few articles, including new language that would give FTE nurses first opportunities for open shifts in all units. Per Diem nurses would have the opportunity after FTEs (management could schedule Per Diems for up to two shifts per schedule without first offering the shifts to FTEs).
Management continues to fall short of the mark in other areas that are of great importance to our bargaining team, such as safe staffing, workplace violence and successorship to protect nurses' working conditions in the event the hospital changes ownership. We are holding firm on all of these areas since they are very important to patient safety and nurse safety.
Management also made a proposal to take away the Memo of Understanding that offers a premium to MAC nurses who work at least (30) minutes beyond their shift. We are waiting to hear from MAC nurses as to their thoughts on this proposal.
Management still has not made any economic proposals.
We again discussed precepting and orienting. Thank you to those of you who shared your understanding of the difference in these two concepts. We would like to hear from more of you, though. Please contact one of the negotiation team members or the WSNA nurse rep.
Our next bargaining session with the employer will take place on Wednesday, March 20.
We encourage all Whidbey RNs to stay involved and let us know if you have ongoing questions or concerns. Your priorities are the driving force behind our negotiations, and we are striving to persist until we reach an agreement that is fair and deserving.
Our team of WSNA registered nurses from WhidbeyHealth met with the management team for our second session on Friday, March 1.
We spent time attempting to discuss the difference between Precepting and Orienting. If any nurses would like to share their understanding regarding the meanings of “precepting” and “orientation,” please fee feel to share with one of the team members listed below.
Our next bargaining session with the employer will take place on Wednesday, March 13.
We appreciate the support from all of the registered nurses that have reached out and demanded a fair contract and safe working conditions. These principles will continue to be the driver behind our priorities as a team.
Our team met with the Employer on Wednesday, Feb. 20 for our first session and presented our opening proposal. The Employer didn’t respond to our proposal or make any proposals of their own.
The team highlighted and discussed our opening offer and spent time explaining and discussing why we see a need for certain changes to ensure fair treatment of nurses. We’ve proposed some cleaning up of old, ambiguous language as well.
Workplace violence language to address this statewide/nationwide issue affecting our nurses.
We are currently drafting our economic proposal and plan to present it to the Employer at our next session.
Stay tuned for further updates. Our next session is scheduled for Friday, March 1.
It’s that time again! Are you ready?
Our negotiation team is in place and ready to meet with the employer to make sure we continue to have a strong contract with all of the rights and benefits we deserve. The team has taken part in our first prep session and scheduled for our second prep which will be with the WSNA attorney, Danielle Franco-Malone.
Our priorities have been set by your responses to the negotiations survey and ongoing feedback from RNs regarding issues and concerns about our current contract. We will continue to work for a safe working environment and conditions that allow RNs to deliver the safest and most effective patient care.
Our first session at the table is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2019. Stay tuned for updates as each session continues.
And Terri Williams, MS, RN; WSNA Nurse Rep, twilliams@wsna.org / 206-575-7979, ext. 3058.
The WSNA local unit officers and leadership team are preparing for contract negotiations. Your input and participation are vital in getting the best possible contract for WhidbeyHealth RNs. Here’s how you can be involved.
We need to hear from ALL of the nurses at WhidbeyHealth. Please take this survey now.
The survey will be available until Dec. 3.
Consider becoming a member of the negotiating team – we need nurses at the table to voice the interests for everyone!
Continue to watch the WhidbeyHealth homepage and your email for updates and information.
Questions? Contact one of our Local Unit Officers or WSNA Nurse Representative Terri Williams, MS, RN at 206-575-7979, ext. 3058.
Our stance is that RNs can make the decision as to whether or not they want to receive the flu vaccine. If the nurse refuses immunization, we agree with the CDC recommendation of wearing a mask in patient care (6 ft from patients) areas only. Breakrooms, hallways, parking lots, cafeteria, etc. are not considered patient care areas.
WSNA is committed to advocating for the health of nurses, patients and the communities they serve. Because of this commitment, WSNA strongly recommends that all nurses and other health care providers be vaccinated against all influenza viruses. WSNA strongly supports and urges voluntary efforts that aim for 100 percent vaccination rates, including annual education and implementation of comprehensive influenza vaccination programs for all health care providers.
WSNA supports enforcement of existing federal and state regulations to ensure that all employers meet the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) andOccupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) requirements for influenza prevention.
The policy must cover all health care settings and health care workers. This includes all settings such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, adult boarding homes, outpatient clinics, etc. Health care workers must include those licensed and unlicensed who work in close proximity to patients, (e.g. nurses, emergency responders, physicians, housekeeping personnel, health care secretarial staff, etc).
Employers must ensure that appropriate protection and safety measures are in place to provide a safe workplace environment for nurses and health care workers.
Employers must ensure that influenza vaccines are available and offered to every health care worker annually at convenient times and locations. The employer must not discriminate against or discipline nurses for the appropriate use of sick time.
If a declination form is required for vaccination, the nurse must be able to sign the form confidentially; that is, the nurse must not be required to divulge personal health information or declare the reason(s) for refusal of a vaccine. The employer must not discriminate against or discipline a nurse for opting out.
The employer must comply with CDC and OSHA Guidelines must be used for prevention, protection, and safety of nurses and patients.
Nursing care requires continuous patient assessment, critical thinking, expert nursing judgment, advocating on behalf of our patients and educating patients and their families. These activities are the essence of nursing care and are critical factors in avoiding preventable complications, injuries and avoidable deaths.
When staffing levels are too low, RNs are frequently forced to compromise the care they give to their patients. Unsafe nurse staffing is a dangerous practice that leads to medical errors, poorer patient outcomes and nursing injuries as well as burnout. Ensuring safe nurse staffing must continues to be a top priority for all nurses.
In 2017, the Washington state legislature passed the Patient Safety Act, addressing this top issue of safe staffing. The bill creates greater transparency and accountability for nurse staffing plans and the work of nurse staffing committees in hospitals. The new bill holds hospitals more accountable for staffing in order for YOU to deliver safe, high quality care to their patients.
The “process” mentioned above is the Assignment Despite Objection (ADO) form. We strongly suggest that you complete an (ADO) form regarding any staffing concerns and issues. These are utilized for real-time tracking efforts, in addition to discussing them with management at both the monthly Staffing Committee and Conference Committee.
To read more regarding other aspects of the new Staffing Law that affect you, click here.
19.1 Staffing. The parties agree to cooperate in an effort to insure an appropriate relationship between patient care needs and staffing levels. These shall be appropriate subjects for WGHWSNA Conference Committee consideration. A nurse questioning the level of staffing on her/his unit shall communicate this concern to her/his immediate supervisor who will utilize available management resources to attempt to resolve the situation. When appropriate, the nurse should use appropriate forms to document the situation, a copy to be given to the supervisor, and the nurse to receive a written response. Standards established by the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid and Washington State Department of Health (“DOH”) shall be considered relevant criteria for determining appropriate staffing levels.
If you have any questions, please contact one of your Local Unit Officers or your WSNA Nurse Rep.
Happy 2018! Since it’s the beginning of a new year, and as a reminder, we wanted to share the contract language regarding low census. There are two areas of the contract you should be aware of: Art. 11.2 Low Census and the Memorandum of Understanding between Whidbey General Hospital (“Hospital”) and the Washington State Nurses Association (“Association”) on page 32.
A request is when a nurse offers to take low census. The offer is always initiated by the nurse and the requesting nurse is not considered a volunteer.
A volunteer is when a nurse accepts the Hospital’s offer to take low census. The offer must be initiated by the Hospital and communicated to the individual nurse verbally or in writing (MLC).
We suggest you keep records of your MLC/VLC in order to take advantage of the (48) hour cap per six month period!
The Safe Staffing Committee (per Safe Nurse Staffing law, 2008) has not met since October 2015. WSNA and Management are working collaboratively to reinstate this committee. Per the WSNA/WhidbeyHealth Local Unit Rules (By-laws), members of the committee are appointed by the Executive Committee/Local Unit Officers.
If you have any questions regarding the Safe Staffing Committee, please contact Terri Williams, MS, RN; WSNA Nurse Rep at twilliams@wsna.org.
Thank you for participating in this very important process to advocate for quality care, patient safety and your fellow nurses!

On December 11th, your fellow nurses on your WSNA team bargained with Management for the 16th day, including 7 days with the assistance of a state-appointed mediator. Through much hard work and with the unwavering support of the bargaining unit, we convinced Management to withdraw its dangerous, intermittent rest break proposal. We also reached agreement that ensures that a functioning preceptor program will be maintained and that the preceptor premium will be increased to $1.50 per hour. However, there is much more work to be done. Management still has some very troubling proposals on the table and has not agreed to reasonable proposals that we have offered.
WSNA has proposed daily overtime for several units that currently are not on this pay system. Your peers in these departments are frequently held over beyond the end of their shifts. Unlike most of you, they do not receive overtime when Management keeps them working beyond the end of their scheduled shifts. This practice, we believe, leads to inappropriate or over scheduling of patients. Nurses deserve predictability and a reasonable expectation that their shifts will end on time so they can go home to their families and life outside of work. Patients deserve caregivers who have not worked long, unexpected hours. Management has said “NO” to a WSNA’s reasonable proposal that is afforded to most of the nurses at the hospital. Nor have they offered ANY solution to chronic overtime which is not good for nurses or patients.
The wages for nurses at WGH are far below those of WSNA nurses at nearby facilities. WSNA has proposed wage increases to make WGH more competitive in recruiting and retaining nurses and to make the wage increases retroactive to the expiration date of the contract (4/1/15). Under Management’s proposal, nurses would not receive any retroactive pay for the period since the current contract expired on March 31, 2015. When St. Joseph’s, United General and Island Hospital recently settled their contracts after their expiration dates, Hospital leadership did the right thing and agreed to retroactive compensation. WGH Management thinks differently and wants to take financial advantage of prolonged negotiations.
Monitoring WSNA Meeting at Any Time? Insisting on Prior Review of WSNA Communications with WGH Nurses?
Anyone with even the most basic understanding of proper labor-management relations should understand how inappropriate these proposals are. Although Management later withdrew these specific proposals after WSNA objected, it is STILL insisting, even after 12 bargaining sessions, on unnecessary constraints on WSNA’s ability to meet with nurses at the Hospital. During these negotiations, even though Management has not indicated any past issue with our use of meeting rooms, we have offered several proposals to alleviate concerns they may have. Still, Management says our accommodations are not enough. Such behavior at the table causes us to question Management’s desire to get a timely resolution. We can only wonder why Management is still fixated on a non-issue when there are other real issues regarding patient care that need addressing.
Management continues to propose to handcuff newly hired nurses to their positions for six months during which they would be prohibited from applying for any other position at WGH. WGH struggles to retain nurses. Why would we strip a nurse of finding a good fit at WGH? Suppose WGH hires an experienced ICU nurse into the medical surgical unit and five months later a position opens up in the ICU. The nurse would have preferred a position at WGH in ICU, but no such position was open when she applied. And suppose five months later a position opens up in the ICU. Under Management’s proposal, that nurse would be prohibited from even applying for a job for which he or she would be very qualified. The nurse may decide to leave WGH to take an ICU position at another facility. Opportunity lost. Management should focus on improving things at WGH so that nurses want to stay, not because they have to stay.
Rather than focusing on improving core staffing so that reliance of per diems is lessened, Management continues to insist that reserve nurses be required to actually work more frequently, rather than just be available to work. However, reserve nurses already work a high number of hours, and Management’s proposal may well cause reserve nurses to leave WGH to look for work elsewhere where they would have greater flexibility that is a large part of the appeal of reserve positions.
As you can see, Management is still proposing substandard wages and seeks to impose conditions designed to handcuff nurses to their jobs rather than focusing on finding ways to make nurses want to stay here. Meanwhile, they refuse to make commitments regarding training appropriate working conditions. If Management really wants to move forward and improve its relationship with its nurses and WSNA, it should evidence that by coming to the table with proposals designed to address and resolve serious issues, rather than with mere platitudes.
We go back to the table on January 13th.
On September 24, your fellow nurses on the WSNA team bargained with Management for the 12th day, including 3 days with the assistance of a state-appointed mediator. Whidbey General Hospital has indicated that it is encouraged by the progress thus far, that protracted negotiations are not cause for concern and that multiple ULPs filed by WSNA are par for the course. We, however, believe such sentiment does not do justice to the gravity of the issues at stake at WGH and is a mere Platitude. And while we are told that the administration wishes to move forward and renew a positive relationship with WSNA and the nurses at WGH, we remain concerned that the proposals that Management continues to insist upon at the table do not reflect a serious commitment to address issues that affect the Hospital, its nurses and its patients. This is a shame. With new leadership at the helm, now is the perfect time, not for platitudes, but for WGH to address serious issues seriously and to repair its image with the community. We are concerned that this may be an opportunity lost.
Instead of giving us meaningful solutions to several issues that remain unresolved, Management seems to be fixated on things that have not been issues, responds with mere platitudes to real problems and insists that WSNA simply withdraw all grievances and unfair labor practices without offering any meaningful resolution of the issues that gave rise to the litigation.
Monitoring WSNA meetings at any time?! Insisting on prior review of WSNA communications with WGH nurses?! Anyone with even the most basic understanding of proper labor-management relations should understand how inappropriate these proposals are. Although Management later withdrew these specific proposals after WSNA objected, it is still insisting, even after 12 bargaining sessions, on unnecessary constraints on WSNA’s ability to meet with nurses at the Hospital. During these negotiations, even though Management has not indicated any past issue with our use of meeting rooms, we have offered several proposals to alleviate concerns they may have. Still, Management says our accommodations are not enough. Such behavior at the table causes us to question Management’s desire to get a timely resolution. We can only wonder why Management is still fixated on a non-issue when there are other real issues regarding patient care that need addressing.
After 12 bargaining sessions, Management is still insisting upon eroding your ability to get meaningful rest breaks. Your fellow nurses on the bargaining team realize how physically and mentally demanding nursing is. Adequate rest is vital to the well-being of nurses and for the safety of our patients. The current contract requires that nurses receive an uninterrupted 15-minute rest break every four hours. Instead of ensuring proper staffing so that nurses may take uninterrupted 15-minute breaks as required by the contract, Management wants to lower the bar and allow for “intermittent” rest breaks. That’s right; instead of getting one meaningful 15-minute rest break, Management wants to give “breaks” of much shorter duration. How much “rest” do you get during a short pit-stop to the bathroom or a quick dash to drink some water? As long as these few minutes of “rest” here and there total 15 minutes in each 4-hour period, that’s all the “rest” you would be entitled to. Think about that when you are working a long, difficult shift. Think about how that could impact the quality of care that you provide to your patients. Rather than addressing staffing so that nurses may take uninterrupted 15-minute breaks as required by the contract, Management wants to lower the bar and allow for “intermittent” rest breaks. WGH patients and nurses deserve better.
Management simply has not lived up to its obligation regarding staffing. In fact, just a few months ago the Washington State Department of Health found that Whidbey General Hospital violated the state’s “Safe Nurse Staffing” law, created in 2008 to ensure that hospitals and nurses work together to develop nurse staffing plans adequate to keep patients safe. The Department of Health found that violation “may result in nurse staffing levels that do not support safe and effective patient care.” Given Management’s poor track record in this regard, we need stronger staffing language. Management simply says “No” and offers no solution.
During negotiations in 2012, WSNA proposed that WGH implement a much-needed preceptor program that is commonplace at other facilities. A functioning preceptor program ensures, among other things, that nurses receive proper training and orientation under the guidance of more experienced nurses. It just makes sense for patient care. Despite what we felt was a very real and immediate need for the program, Management insisted that it needed until 2014 to implement the program. When negotiations were concluded, Management had agreed in writing to implement a preceptor program by January 1, 2014. Quite simply, Management did not abide by that commitment and still does not have a properly functioning preceptor program after all these years. WSNA has had to file an Unfair Labor Practice Complaint to force Management to live up to its agreement.
Now, Management is insisting that we simply withdraw the ULP Compliant as part of negotiations without resolving the underlying preceptor issue. With apparent amnesia on the history of the preceptor issue and without a hint of irony, Management has also proposed that we can discuss the issue sometime in the future at Conference Committee. Remember the word of the day? Platitude. The time to resolve this issue is now. Given that Management broke the law regarding its staffing obligations and given that they failed to live up to their agreement during last negotiations to implement a preceptor program, we have little confidence that they will do anything meaningful to address the issue in a committee at some time in the future. So much for leadership and accountability. We are at a loss as to why Management is stumbling over this issue when it seems to work well at so many other facilities. We ask Management to offer a positive, meaningful solution this issue, rather than spending money to fight it.
WSNA has proposed daily overtime for several units that currently are not on this pay system. Your peers in these departments are frequently held over beyond the end of their shifts. Unlike most of you, they do not receive overtime when Management keeps them working beyond the end of their scheduled shifts. This practice, we believe, leads to inappropriate or over scheduling of patients. Nurses deserve predictability and a reasonable expectation that their shifts will end on time so they can go home to their families and life outside of work. Patients deserve caregivers who have not worked long, unexpected hours. Management has said “No” to WSNA’s reasonable proposal that is afforded to most of the nurses at the hospital. Nor have they offered any solution to chronic overtime, which is not good for nurses or patients.
As you can see, Management is still proposing substandard wages and seeks to impose conditions designed to handcuff nurses to their jobs rather than focusing on finding ways to make nurses want to stay here. Meanwhile, they refuse to make commitments regarding training and staffing. If Management really wants to move forward and improve its relationship with its nurses and WSNA, it should demonstrate that by coming to the table with proposals designed to address and resolve serious issues, rather than with mere Platitudes.
Special thanks to Gwen Parrick, PC Cable, Laura Black and community members Connie Cavin, Rita Doak, and Linda Beller for speaking directly to the board of commissioners and delivering the petition with >500 signatures on your behalf. They also spoke up for the MAC RNs who were there but unable to stay.
They did a fantastic job. Also, thanks to those of you who took the time to create a show of force to demonstrating to the board just how important this is to all RNs at WGH.
It’s ethical, it’s professional, and it matters.

Rally The Troops Take Part In Your Community "Rally-Q"
Now is the time to come together as nurses and a community to push negotiations forward for a better contract for Whidbey General nurses!
July 20, 2015 – The Washington State Department of Health has found that Whidbey General Hospital is violating the state’s “Safe Nurse Staffing” law, created in 2008 to ensure that hospitals and nurses work together to develop nurse staffing plans adequate to keep patients safe.
In addition to failing to implement the state staffing law, Whidbey General management has refused WNSA contract proposals regarding safe staffing during current negotiations.
Whidbey General management has not followed through with its commitments to its nurses. For example, the Hospital failed to implement a preceptor program, which provides for crucial new skill development for nursing students and nurses under the guidance of more experienced nurses, as it agreed to do during its last contract negotiations with WSNA.
Registered Nurses at Whidbey General have gathered hundreds of signatures on petitions of support from community members and are planning a community barbecue and rally in support of the RNs for early August.
The wages for nurses at WGH are below those of WSNA nurses at nearby facilities. WSNA has proposed wage increases to make WGH more competitive in recruiting and retaining nurses. Management has proposed that nurses would get a guaranteed across-the-board wage increase of only 1.75% over three years. This guaranteed increase would make wages at WGH even LESS competitive over the next few years because WSNA-area hospitals have agreed to much larger guaranteed wage increases. Moreover, under Management’s proposal, nurses would not receive any retroactive pay for the period since the current contract expired on March 31, 2015. When St. Joseph’s, United General and Island Hospital recently settled their contracts after their expiration dates, Hospital leadership did the right thing and agreed to retroactive compensation. WGH Management thinks differently and wants to take financial advantage of prolonged negotiations.
Management is even going one bold step further and proposing to condition the nurses’ non-guaranteed wage increases on the Hospital meeting operating margin targets and the nurses meeting certain unspecified performance targets. If the Hospital doesn’t meet these goals, nurses will not get their full potential wage increases. We can only assume that Management believes that WGH nurses have all the tools and staffing support for the Hospital to meet these goals. Meanwhile, nurses tell us about staffing problems at WGH, and Management refuses to agree to substantive, meaningful approaches to staffing problems. Management fails to recognize that nurses are professionally driven and that, given the proper tools and support, provide exemplary care. Other area WSNA hospitals understand this and do not hold their nurses’ compensation hostage as part of a misguided pay practice. They guarantee full wage increases for the life of their contracts while facing similar Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement constraints as WGH. We fear that Management’s dangerous new approach to compensation will give WGH nurses yet another reason to look elsewhere for employment where they can earn a better wage and count on guaranteed wage increases that are higher than what Management is proposing. Whidbey General’s claimed financial issues are not a result of overpaying its nurses. One only has to look at the headlines of newspaper articles over the past several years to see that WGH has incurred financial harm through missteps unrelated to nursing salaries. Whidbey’s financial presentation shows money is being spent, it’s just not being allocated to one of its most valuable resources, its nursing staff. Whidbey General nurses are already being paid below area market wages. Management’s wage proposal will leave nurses even further behind in the market over the life of the contract. Recruitment and retention is of dire concern and the effect is already being seen with difficulty recruiting and the need for traveling staff. Retention has also been an issue. Additionally, working conditions and culture have changed. Nursing indicators have plummeted during the life of the contract under current nursing leadership.
Your fellow nurses on the bargaining team realize how physically and mentally demanding nursing is. Adequate rest is vital to the well-being of nurses and for the safety of our patients. The current contract requires that nurses receive an uninterrupted 15-minute rest break every four hours. Instead of ensuring proper staffing so that nurses may take uninterrupted 15-minute breaks as required by the contract, Management wants to lower the bar and allow for “intermittent” rest breaks. That’s right; instead of getting one meaningful 15-minute rest break, Management wants to give “breaks” of much shorter duration. How much “rest” do you get during a short pit-stop to the bathroom or a quick dash to drink some water? As long as these few minutes of “rest” here and there total 15 minutes in each 4-hour period, that’s all the “rest” you would be entitled to. Think about that when you are working a long, difficult shift. Think about how that could impact the quality of care that you provide to your patients.
Your WSNA team came to the table with several common sense proposals of additional requirements to ensure proper orientation, training and equipment for nurses to do their jobs. Management says “NO” to our proposals.
Instead, Management has come to the table with proposals that erode the current contract. Management is proposing to implement an undetermined training program requiring nurses to repay money if they do not meet unknown Management criteria for successful completion. Nurses would be on the hook to the tune of thousands of dollars for not successfully completing the program (as determined by Management) or for leaving early. This is concerning. Moreover, during the last negotiations, Management agreed in writing to implement a preceptor program by January 1, 2014. Quite simply, Management failed to live up to this commitment, and WSNA was forced to utilize the grievance procedure to get Management to do what it agreed to do. Given Management’s abysmal track record with the preceptor program, we have little confidence in Management developing good training programs. It seems that Management’s approach to retention is to handcuff nurses to their jobs by forcing them to pay back thousands of dollars if they leave before completing an unspecified training program. WSNA believes recruitment and retention of competent specialty staff starts with competitive wages, good staffing, a robust education system, proper orientation and training, and the availability of the proper equipment and technology to do the job. Offering a job or training that comes with the danger of repayment of thousands of dollars is a deterrent, not an incentive. We should focus on an environment that makes nurses WANT to stay at Whidbey General Hospital and not make them feel that they HAVE to stay.
WSNA has proposed that staffing levels be negotiated, determined and placed into the contract. Management has said “NO.” Staffing continues to be an issue. WSNA has filed a complaint with the Department of Health for the Hospital’s failure to abide by the modest requirements of the Nurse Staffing law. The hospital continues to fail to follow the Nurse Staffing law. Unsafe staffing puts your license at risk.
WSNA has proposed daily overtime for several units that currently are not on this pay system. Your peers in these departments are frequently held over beyond the end of their shifts. Unlike most of you, they do not receive overtime when Management keeps them working beyond the end of their scheduled shifts. This practice, we believe, leads to inappropriate or over scheduling of patients. Nurses deserve predictability and a reasonable expectation that their shifts will end on time so they can go home to their families and life outside of work. Management has said NO to a reasonable solution that is afforded to most of the nurses at the hospital.
The hospital wants to handcuff you to a new position should you change shifts or positions, stripping you of your ability to move for months to a more suitable position should one open up. Why would you be expected to forfeit your seniority and right to a position for a period of time? Why would the hospital want you to stay tied to a position that may not be a good fit?
Please stay tuned for further updates and information on how to stay informed and involved. Tell Management to stop the attacks and give us a fair contract now so that we all can focus on the practice of nursing!
If you have not already done so, please click here to fill out the survey.
WSNA recently grieved and won a grievance involving non-payment of Preceptor Pay which nurses are entitled to under 8.8 of the CBA. You may be entitled to back pay. If you have served as a preceptor at any time between January 1, 2014 to present and have not been paid preceptor pay while serving as a preceptor, please contact me with the dates and hours you served as a preceptor. A nurse is a preceptor when, “planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating the new skill development of a nurse.” An example would be teaching conscious sedation to a nurse. This also includes precepting of students whose instructor is not on the unit doing the teaching. Please respond no later than May 31, 2015. Moving forward, be sure to record preceptor pay on your time card. Contact WSNA or your Grievance Officer if pay is denied.
NOW is the time to BE INFORMED. Please join us for important updates on negotiations and other issues that may affect your working conditions. See you there!
Imagine you are a nurse who has been disciplined or terminated and your employer refuses to provide the documents to support their allegations. WSNA is troubled that Whidbey General Hospital has refused to provide information in such a case as well as other requested information. Therefore, we have filed an Unfair Labor Practice with the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC).
Please join us for a Local Unit meeting in the Board Room to hear updates about this important topic as well as important negotiations updates.
Potential Wage REDUCTIONS. Management has proposed that it be able to try to REDUCE your current wages during the life of the contract.
Tying wages to hospital’s operating margins and nurse metrics. Nurses are not responsible for the Hospital’s current economic state [the Hospital pays its nurses below-market wages] or the poor patient satisfaction scores, yet management wants to tie your wages to unspecified nursing metrics. Those numbers have plummeted over the past years under current leadership.
The hospital wants to handcuff you to a new position should you change shifts or positions, stripping you of your ability to move for six months to a more suitable position should one open up .
The hospital does not want to pay daily overtime to some nurses even though they frequently hold them over their scheduled shifts.
The hospital does not want to provide for uninterrupted breaks and instead wants intermittent breaks because it will “help them with staffing”! This is a safety concern and erodes your current contract which provides for uninterrupted breaks.
The hospital wants to force nurses to repay training (up to $6,000 and perhaps more) if they don’t meet hospital determined criteria for successfully completing programs. This is concerning, especially in light of the fact that the hospital has been unable to execute a functioning preceptor program which was bargained for in the current contract.
Management has said “NO” to our common-sense proposals to make sure nurses are adequately trained and oriented and have the proper equipment to do their jobs safely.
NOW is the time to get involved. Please plan on attending one of the follow information sessions in the Board Room for further updates: May 4, 2015 - 1:30p – 2:30p, 7:30p – 8:30p or May 5, 2015 – 7:30a-8:30a. Our next session is Monday, April 20th. Please watch your mail, email and Local Unit webpage for further updates. We will see everyone at the meetings in early May.
Your team met again with Management on 3/26 and 3/31 for negotiations. Our next sessions are scheduled for 4/13 and 4/20.
We were successful in seeing Management withdraw several proposals that would have made it easier for management to fire nurses.
Wages continue to be a difficult subject. Despite being underpaid relative to area hospitals, Management has proposed wage increases of 0% for year one, 0% for year two and 0.75% for year three. This follows the current CBA which had minimal pay increases. Your team believes the hospital’s financial issues are not related to paying nurses a fair wage. The current proposal makes recruitment and retention difficult at best.
Please watch for further updates and information about how you can support your negotiation team!

See the looks from her UK trip here.
Recently spotted in the glorious capital of England, 22-year-old singer and actress Julie Anne San Jose is making us double-tap her posts (tagged #LondonLife) as she stays true to her laid-back, edgy style.
On her first day in London, Julie Ann opted for a lace top, printed denim cut-offs, and a knitted cardigan.
We loved her olive green denim jacket worn over her button-front cropped top and floral printed shorts. For a more rugged finish, Julie Anne completed her look with a choker necklace and a black NY Yankees baseball cap.
Sweater weather makes for a great day to sport an off-duty look! Take cues from this GMA artist’s casual dark gray sweater and blue jeans combo, paired with pointy-toed derbies and black-rimmed specs.
On her fourth day in the UK, Julie Anne took her little white dress out for a stroll at Brighton Pier and looked every bit a lady wearing a silk bomber jacket in blush pink, plus a white floppy hat.
She wore jeans, which she paired with a black halter top and a dark brown padded bomber jacket, while exploring Westminster.
Spotted at Windsor Castle, she opted for a cinched maxi dress underneath her staple denim jacket.

A hoax Facebook virus is spreading rapidly across the social network.
Many users have been hoodwinked into forwarding an inaccurate warning about the spread of non-existent malware that claims a girl committed suicide over a post her father wrote on her Facebook wall.
No such tragedy has occurred but many are forwarding the wrong-headed message (extract below) creating confusion in the process.
People are passing on the warning in the mistaken belief they are helping Facebook friends to avoid a threat. In reality, they are spreading a hoax about a non-existent virus infection. The bogus warning is arguably causing more of a nuisance than a genuine malware infection, according to net security firm Sophos.
It adds that miscreants have exploited the confusion created by the warning by establishing Facebook pages that supposedly offer pictures from the fictitious girl's Facebook wall, but are really designed to make money by tricking surfers into wasting their time completing online surveys of dubious merit.
Malware hoaxes were part and parcel of net life long before the advent of social networking. Surfers are advised to check out warnings with reputable sources before spreading them along.
Internet rumours suggest a girl called Emma killed herself on Christmas Eve 2008 after being bullied on Facebook. However, supposed extracts of conversations that led up to this "tragic event" show "Like" buttons, a feature Facebook only introduced months later.

Five-year anniversary of Madeline McCann's disappearance raises awareness of thousands of children who go missing each year.
The parents of Madeleine McCann have repeated their belief there is hope that she will be found five years after her disappearance.
A new image has been released by police of how Madeleine would look now, in the lead-up to her ninth birthday.
Her parents, Gerry and Kate, have refused to give up hope that their daughter will be found, despite the years that have passed since Madeleine, then three years old, disappeared during a holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
Gerry McCann told reporters that there was an "ongoing dialogue" with officials in Portugal. He said: "I am sure the investigation will get opened again in due course."
When Madeleine disappeared on 3 May, 2007, it launched a media frenzy which continues to this day.
However, the sad anniversary also serves to highlight the number of families in the UK looking for their lost children. More than 230,000 missing children reports are made in the UK every year. Although the majority are later found, hundreds are thought to disappear without trace.
A series of events are planned to take place in more than 18 countries on International Missing Children's Day - 25 May - to highlight the scale of the problem.
IBTimes UK looks at some of the children for whom the search continues. For more information on the missing children, visit the Missing People charity website.

Alginate is a linear polysaccharide produced mainly by brown algae in marine environments. Alginate consists of a linear block copolymer made up of two monomeric units, β-d-mannuronate (M) and its C-5 epimer α-l-guluronate (G). Alginate lyases are polysaccharide lyases (PL) that degrade alginate via a β-elimination reaction. These enzymes play an important role in marine carbon recycling and also have widespread industrial applications. So far, more than 1,774 alginate lyase sequences have been identified and are distributed into 7 PL families. In this review, the folds, conformational changes during catalysis, and catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases are described. Thus far, structures for 15 alginate lyases have been solved and are divided into 3 fold classes: the β-jelly roll class (PL7, -14, and -18), the (α/α)n toroid class (PL5, -15, and -17), and the β-helix fold (PL6). These enzymes adopt two different mechanisms for catalysis, and three kinds of conformational changes occur during this process. Moreover, common features in the structures, conformational changes, and catalytic mechanisms are summarized, providing a comprehensive understanding on alginate lyases.
Alginate is a linear polysaccharide present in the cell walls and intracellular material of brown algae and accounts for ∼40% of their dry weight (1). It is also produced by some bacteria belonging to the Pseudomonas and Azotobacter genera (2). Alginate consists of two monomeric units, β-d-mannuronate (M) and its C-5 epimer α-l-guluronate (G). These units are arranged in three kinds of blocks: homopolymeric G blocks (PG), homopolymeric M blocks (PM), and heteropolymeric blocks of alternating M and G units (PMG) (3, 4). Alginate is an important source of fixed carbon in marine ecosystems and has been used as a viscosifier, a stabilizer, and a gelling agent in the food, printing, and biomaterials industries. Furthermore, alginate oligosaccharides have widespread applications in agriculture and pharmacology.
Alginate lyases are polysaccharide lyases (PL) that degrade alginate by β elimination of the glycosidic 1-4 O-linkages between sugar monomers, producing unsaturated oligosaccharides containing a 4-deoxy-l-erythro-hex-4-enopyranosyluronic acid at the new nonreducing terminus (4). Alginate lyases have been isolated from various sources, including a variety of bacteria and fungi, as well as viruses, marine algae, and marine mollusks (4). Based on amino acid sequence analysis, alginate lyases fall into seven PL families (PL5, -6, -7, -14, -15, -17, and -18) in the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZY) database (5). Further, they have been also classified into three distinct groups based on their substrate specificities: PM-specific lyases (EC 4.2.2.3), PG-specific lyases (EC 4.2.2.11), and bifunctional lyases that can degrade both PM and PG (EC 4.2.2.-). According to their modes of action, alginate lyases have been further divided into two classes. Endolytic alginate lyases degrade long alginate chains, releasing oligosaccharides as the main products (6, 7), whereas exolytic alginate lyases degrade small oligosaccharides into monomers and/or dimers from the ends of the chains (8–10). Endolytic alginate lyases have been successfully utilized in industry for the preparation of protoplasts and the production of biologically relevant oligosaccharides (11–13).
In recent years, research on alginate lyases has made rapid and remarkable progress, especially in structures and catalytic mechanisms (14–17). A number of three-dimensional structures of alginate lyases from various PL families have been determined, and the catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases from all seven PL families have now been revealed. Two recent reviews on alginate lyases were published in 2011 and 2015 (18, 19) but did not introduce the structures and catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases in detail and, more importantly, did not include the structures and catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases reported after 2015 (16, 17). Thus, in this review, we discuss the different structures and catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases in detail.
Great progress has been made in the structural determination of alginate lyases in the past several years. Currently, 15 alginate lyase structures have been solved, with at least one representative structure from each family, including two members in PL5, one in PL6, six in PL7, two in PL14, one in PL15, one in PL17, and two in PL18. These structures have shown that alginate lyases from different families may adopt similar folds. Based on the classification of polysaccharide lyases proposed by Garron and Cygler (20), alginate lyases can be classified into 3 fold classes: β-jelly roll (PL7, -14, and -18), (α/α)n toroid (PL5, -15, and -17), and right-handed β-helix (PL6).
β-Jelly roll class.The β-jelly roll is the most common fold among alginate lyases. The β-jelly roll class contains 10 alginate lyase structures at the time of this publication, including 6 from PL7, 2 from PL14, and 2 from PL18 (Fig. 1). In general, this fold consists mainly of two curved antiparallel β-sheets (SA and SB) that are bent in the middle by nearly 90°, coming together to form a globular shape. The inner concave sheet (SA) shapes a cleft that harbors the catalytic site, and the alginate substrates enter the cleft and interact with the active-site residues. Loops linking the inner (SA) and outer (SB) sheets are variable in length and sequence (20). Three adjacent β-strands in the center of the SA sheet of PL7 lyases are well ordered, and the conserved residues on these strands play important roles in the catalytic reaction (21).

Nearly one-half of all known alginate lyase sequences have been classified into the PL7 family, and structural information is available for six of them, including PA1167 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (PDB code 1VAV) (22), AlyA from Klebsiella pneumoniae (PDB code 4OZX), alyPG from Corynebacterium sp. ALY-1 (PDB code 1UAI) (23), AlyA1 (PDB code 3ZPY), and AlyA5 (PDB code 4BE3) from Zobellia galactanivorans (24), and A1-II′ from Sphingomonas sp. A1 (PDB code 2CWS) (21) (Fig. 1A). Among these enzymes, PA1167, alyPG, AlyA1, and A1-II′ are endolytic, while AlyA5 is exolytic (24), and AlyA has not been characterized. PA1167 represents the first solved alginate lyase structure that adopts this fold (22). PA1167 consists of three short α-helices and two antiparallel β-sheets, SA and SB, that consist of eight and seven β-strands, respectively. A1-II′ is the best-studied enzyme in PL7 due to detailed analysis of the structures of mutant variants complexed with alginate tri- or tetrasaccharides (21, 25). Similar to the structure of PA1167, the overall structure of A1-II′ is composed of four helices and two β-sheets, including nine β-strands in SA and seven in SB. The overall structures of the other four enzymes (AlyA, AlyA5, alyPG, and AlyA1) resemble the two above. Except for the exolytic enzyme AlyA5, the architectures of the active-site centers of the PL7 alginate lyases are all wide open, corresponding to the endolytic character of PA1167, A1-II′, alyPG, and AlyA1, which also suggests that AlyA is most likely an endolytic enzyme. The structural determinant of the exolytic activity of AlyA5 was determined to be a long loop (residues 304 to 318) that blocks the catalytic groove at one end, leading to a pocket-like architecture.
Most PL18 alginate lyases contain an N-terminal extension that is excised during protein maturation. Thus far, all of the alginate lyases characterized from PL18 (AlyA, alyPEEC, and aly-SJ02) have been bifunctional and endolytic. The structures of two PL18 alginate lyases from Pseudoalteromonas, Aly272 and aly-SJ02, have been solved (Fig. 1B). Aly272 (PDB code 1J1T) was the first PL18 structure deposited in the PDB; unfortunately, no further research on this enzyme has been reported. Structural and functional analyses of aly-SJ02 were reported in 2014 (14). The mature aly-SJ02 enzyme exhibits the typical β-jelly roll fold. Akin to the active-site architectures of endolytic alginate lyases in PL7, three adjacent β-strands in aly-SJ02, i.e., SA2, SA3, and SA4, form a catalytic groove that is wide open at both ends. aly-SJ02 shows two main structural differences compared with alginate lyases from the PL7 family. First, according to the structures of the recombinant catalytic domain (r-CATD; PDB code 4Q8L) and the catalytic domain of the precursor (P-CATD, PDB code 4Q8K) of aly-SJ02, the unique N-terminal extension present in PL18 alginate lyase precursors functions as an intramolecular chaperone that mediates the correct folding of the catalytic domain. Second, a structural divalent metal ion, Ca2+, observed in both Aly272 and aly-SJ02, is far away from the active centers, which is important for maintaining the enzymatic activity of aly-SJ02, but does not directly participate in the catalytic reaction (14).
The PL14 family is the only family that contains alginate lyases from bacteria, eukaryotes, and viruses. In this family, four gastropod alginate lyases (AkAly30, LbAly28, HdAly, and HdAlex) and three PLs from the Chlorella virus (CL2, A215L, and vAL-1) have been characterized, but no data regarding the bacterial enzymes are available. At this time, the structures of two PL14 alginate lyases have been solved, including vAL-1 from Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus CVK2 (PDB code 3GNE) (26) and AkAly30 from Aplysia kurodai (PDB code 5GMT) (16) (Fig. 1C). Among the eukaryotic enzymes, AkAly30, LbAly28, and HdAly are M specific and endolytic while HdAlex is exolytic. Most of the eukaryotic enzymes optimally degrade alginate under mesophilic conditions at neutral pH. Interestingly, two PLs of viral origin (CL2 and vAL-1) can function at alkaline pH. Wild-type (WT) vAL-1 prefers to exhibit alginate lyase activity at alkaline pH; however, at neutral pH, its activity on alginate decreases and the enzyme shows a preference for glucuronic acid containing polymers such as pectin. WT vAL-1 is comprised of two domains, an N-terminal domain (NTD) for cell wall attachment and a C-terminal catalytic domain. It is also reported that the N-terminal domain hinders the alginate lyase activity of WT vAL-1 at neutral pH (26). For vAL-1, only the structure of the C-terminal catalytic domain, vAL-1(S), has been solved, and it adopts a β-jelly roll fold. Although structurally similar to PL7 and -18 family lyases, vAL-1(S) has two additional small β-sheets, SC and SD, both of which consist of two β-strands. Interestingly, vAL-1(S) shows two pH-dependent modes of action toward alginate, functioning endolytically at pH 7.0 and exolytically at pH 10.0. These two modes of action of vAL-1(S) are greatly influenced by the electric charges in the active site at different pH levels. AkAly30 is an endotype alginate lyase and shares only 23% sequence identity with vAL-1. Despite the structural similarities with vAL-1(S), AkAly30 shows some differences in the conformations of two loops surrounding subsite −1, resulting in their different modes of action. A η4 loop in AkAly30 leads to the closed special arrangement of subsite −1, distinct from the corresponding loop in vAL-1(S). Moreover, the η2 loop of AkAly30 is cross-linked by a disulfide bond, which is not conserved in vAL-1(S). On this η2 loop, a Gly that is important for AkAly30 activity is replaced by Tyr in vAL-1(S) (16). The residues forming the catalytic clefts in PL14 enzymes are distinct from those in PL7 and PL18, including amino acids in both the loops and the β-strands (16). Particularly, conserved amino acids that are known to be crucial for catalysis in PL7 and PL18 lyases, including Arg, Gln, His, and Tyr, are replaced with Gly, Gly, Phe, and Phe, respectively, in vAL-1 and AkAly30 (26).
(α/α)n toroid class.The alginate lyases in families PL5, -15, and -17 contain a common catalytic domain that adopts a barrel architecture formed by several antiparallel α-helices (helical hairpins). The hairpins are arranged counterclockwise (looking from the top of the hairpin), and their number, n, varies from three to seven. Hence, we classified these folds into the (α/α)n toroid class. There are four solved alginate lyase structures in this class, including two from PL5, one from PL15, and one from PL17. Among these enzymes, those in PL5 are single-domain proteins that have only a barrel catalytic domain (27) whereas those in PL15 and PL17 are multidomain proteins containing one or two other domains in addition to the catalytic domain (10, 15) (Fig. 2). The α-helices in the catalytic domain are divided into two layers, the inner and the outer helices, which form a deep tunnel-like cleft to accommodate the substrate. The inner helices run in approximately the same direction around the core of the barrel, whereas the outer ones are oriented in the opposite direction (27).

All PL5 alginate lyases characterized to date are endolytic and M-specific enzymes from bacteria. It is worth noting that Smlt1473 is the sole PL5 enzyme that is promiscuous and is able to use alginate, poly-d-glucuronic acid (GlcA), and hyaluronan as the substrates (28). The structures of two PL5 alginate lyases have been solved: A1-III from Sphingomonas sp. (PDB code 1QAZ) and PA3547 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (PDB code 4OZV) (Fig. 2A). A1-III is the most studied enzyme in the PL5 family and was the first alginate lyase shown to adopt an (α/α)n toroid fold (27, 29, 30). A1-III is comprised of 12 α-helices, six inners and five outers, which form an α6/α5 barrel consisting of four hairpin repetitions. Alginate molecules penetrate into the tunnel-like cleft, surrounded by the inner helices, to interact with residues of the catalytic site. PA3547 is structurally similar to A1-III with a root mean square deviation of 2.7 Å, and the main differences occur in the N- and C-terminal regions of these two enzymes. Although its structure has been determined and released, biochemical characterization of PA3547 has not been reported.
The PL15 family contains exolytic bacterial alginate lyases. Exotype alginate lyase Atu3025 (PDB code 3A0O) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the only solved structure in this family, is comprised of an N-terminal small β-sheet domain (residues 11 to 116), a central α/α-barrel domain (residues 128 to 491), and a C-terminal antiparallel β-sheet domain (residues 495 to 773) (Fig. 2B) (10). The N-terminal small β-sheet domain, whose function remains enigmatic, is made up of two antiparallel β-sheets consisting of seven β-strands. The central barrel domain is composed of 15 α-helices, 12 of which, including six inners and six outers, contribute to the formation of the (α/α)6-barrel catalytic domain. The C-terminal domain (CTD) is comprised of 18 β-strands, forming a three-layered antiparallel β-sheet sandwich structure. In contrast to the tunnel-like catalytic centers of PL5 alginate lyases, the active-site center of Atu3025 is located between the α/α-barrel and the C-terminal β-sheet domains, forming a deep pocket to accommodate alginate. The substrate is bound across the two domains, interacting predominantly with residues of the barrel domain but also with several residues of the C-terminal domain. Its exolytic mode action is related to the location of the bound substrates, which are introduced in more detail in “Conformational Changes during Catalysis” below.
Alginate lyases of the PL17 family are oligoalginate lyases that can degrade alginate and alginate oligosaccharides into monosaccharides by an exotypic mode of action. Alg17c (PDB code 4NEI) from Saccharophagus degradans 2-40 is the only PL17 alginate lyase for which a crystal structure has been determined (Fig. 2C) (15). Alg17c (PL17) and Atu3025 (PL15) are both exolytic enzymes; however, their structures are significantly different. Atu3025 is a three-domain monomeric protein, while Alg17c consists of only two domains and forms homodimers. Compared with Atu3025, Alg17c is also comprised of an α6/α6-barrel (residues 30 to 365) joined to a C-terminal antiparallel β-sheet (residues 370 to 735) but lacks the N-terminal β-sheet domain. The barrel domain of Alg17c is composed of 13 helices, 12 that form the α6/α6-barrel and 1 additional helix that is shored up against the side of the barrel, maintaining its rigidity. The C-terminal domain displays a three-layered antiparallel β-sheet structure and has four small helices near the top layer, interjecting between the two domains. Similar to what is seen in Atu3025, the substrate is also bound between the barrel and the β-sheet domains of the Alg17c monomer. Alg17c homodimerization results from the insertion of a β-turn (residues 660 to 672) from the β-sheet domain of one monomer into the barrel domain of the other monomer. In addition, a Zn2+ in Alg17c is located at the interface of the two domains, likely establishing the orientation of the residues interacting with the substrate (15).
β-Helix class.The PL6 family contains various PLs, including two dermatan sulfate lyases and alginate lyases with diverse substrate specificities and modes of action (17, 31–33). AlyGC from the PL6 family is an exotype G-specific alginate lyase and is now the first and only known alginate lyase that adopts a right-handed β-helix fold (Fig. 3) (21). The right-handed β-helix fold was first observed in a pectate lyase (pectate lyase C) from Erwinia chrysanthemi in 1993 (34) and has now been shown to be common among enzymes from PL1, -3, and -9 (35–37). AlyGC forms dimers in solution, and there is only a 2-fold rotation axis between the individual monomers. Each monomer of AlyGC is comprised of two domains, the N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domain, both of which adopt the β-helix fold. This is distinct from other reported proteins that share this fold but contain only a single β-helix domain, including proteins in PL1, -3, and -9 and chondroitinase B from PL6 (35–38). The architecture of the β-helix fold is composed of three β-sheets: PB1, PB2, and PB3. The turns (T) or loops between the two β-sheets are referred to as T1 (between PB1 and PB2), T2 (between PB2 and PB3), and T3 (between PB3 and PB1), and the arrangement of one coil of the β-helix is PB1-T1-PB2-T2-PB3-T3. PB1 and PB2 are nearly antiparallel, and PB3 is almost perpendicular to PB2 (38). The NTD of AlyGC consists of 12 PB1 strands, 14 PB2 strands, and 14 PB3 strands. The CTD consists of 9 PB1 strands, 11 PB2 strands, and 9 PB3 strands (17). Interestingly, the active site of AlyGC is located in the NTD but the CTD is also indispensable for the activity of AlyGC. The active-site center is a long cleft localized on the surface of the NTD, surrounded by loops and β-strands from the NTD and one loop (residues 627 to 638) from the CTD. One end of the cleft is blocked, leading to the exolytic mode of action of the enzyme (17). In addition, a Ca2+ ion is located at the catalytic center of each molecule, and its role in catalysis of PL6 enzymes is introduced in “Diversity in Catalytic Mechanisms” below.

During the cleavage of alginate glycosidic bonds via β-elimination, conformational changes of the enzymes have been shown to always occur, such as lid loop movements, domain rotation movements, and subunit rotation movements. Some changes are specific, and others are common to the degradation of alginates and other polysaccharides.
Lid loop movements.Lid loop movement during catalysis is a common feature in alginate lyases from PL5, -7, and -18. For PL5 alginate lyases, this movement occurs in just one loop, which is akin to a lid above the active-site center (29). This is in contrast to lyases in the PL7 and -18 families, which have two lid loops over their active-site centers (14, 25) (Fig. 4).
Conformational changes of lid loops identified in alginate lyases. (A) Lid loop (residues 64 to 85) of PL5 A1-III. A structural representation of the apoenzyme (H192A; PDB 4E1Y) is shown in green. The two holoenzymes, Holo H192A (PDB 4F10) and Holo Y246F (PDB 4F13), are shown in blue and pink, respectively. The bound substrates are depicted by red/yellow sticks. (B) Residues of the loop region in PL5 alginate lyases. The GenBank accession numbers of the protein sequences are BAB03312.1 (A1-III), AAG06935.1 (PA3547), AEW23144.1 (Aly1), and AIY22644.1 (AlgA). (C) Flexible loops (loop1, residues 133 to 145, and loop2, residues 193 to 203) of PL7 A1-II′. Two ligand-free structures, 2CWS and 2Z42, are shown in green and blue, respectively. The mutant (N199C/N141C; PDB 2ZA9), shown in pink, has a disulfide bond linking the two flexible loops. (D) The flexible loops (loop1, Ala208-Gly217, and loop2, Ala260-Thr265) of PL18 aly-SJ02, with the P-CATD (PDB 4Q8K) and r-CATD (PDB 4Q8L), are depicted in green and blue, respectively.
The lid loop present in the PL5 alginate lyase A1-III (residues 64 to 85) consists of 16 residues (residues 64 to 79) from loop2 (residues 44 to 79), connecting helix2 and helix3, and 6 residues (residues 80 to 85) from helix3 (residues 80 to 105). The A1-III lid loop is able to migrate about 14 Å from an open form (apoenzyme, H192A) to a closed form (holoenzyme, H192A and Y246F). The loop of the apoenzyme protrudes into the solvent and bends at the middle of loop2 and in the front of helix3 when the enzyme binds a substrate (Fig. 4A). The conformational change of the lid loop from the open to the closed position results in coverage of the active-site cleft. This lid loop movement is a near-rigid-body motion with hinges around Ile64 and residues 82 to 85 (for details about the mechanism of this motion, see Gerstein and Krebs ). In the holoenzyme (H192A and Y246A), the closed lid loop interacts with the bound substrate, and the Tyr68 residue on this loop activates the catalytic residue Tyr246 through the formation of a hydrogen bond (Fig. 4A). Despite structural conservation, the amino acid sequence of the lid loop region is not strictly conserved among PL5 alginate lyases, and conservative replacements are found for Arg67 (Lys), Asn72 (Asp), Gly74 (Ala/Ser), and Val76 (Leu) (Fig. 4B).
Similar lid loop movements are observed in A1-II′ from PL7 (25) and aly-SJ02 from PL18 (14); however, each of these enzymes contains two mobile loops. The function of these two flexible loops was first identified in A1-II′ because the loops were found to be in different positions (open and closed forms) in two different ligand-free structures of the same protein (PDB codes 2CWS and 2Z42, respectively). Mobile loops L1 and L2 are located over the active-site cleft and interact through a hydrogen bond formed by two asparagine residues, Asn141 on L1 and Asn199 on L2. A double mutant, A1-II′ N141C/N199C, has a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues and retains little enzymatic activity, demonstrating that the flexibility of these loops is essential for access of the substrate to the active site and the concomitant release of products after the reaction (Fig. 4C). Almost all enzymes in PL7 have two loops corresponding to L1 and L2 of A1-II′, suggesting that lid loop movement during catalysis is a mechanism shared by PL7 enzymes (22–24). Similarly, two mobile loops over the substrate-binding pocket are present in the PL18 family lyase aly-SJ02 (14), and a hydrogen bond is formed between Asn214 on L1 and Thr263 on L2 (Fig. 4D). Molecular dynamic simulations indicated that the distance between the side chains of Asn214 and Thr263 increases from 3.2 Å in the closed state to 11.5 Å in the open state, making it possible for an alginate molecule to enter the substrate-binding pocket (14). The enlargement of space between the loops of A1-II′ and aly-SJ02 is predominantly caused by conformational changes in the side chains of the loop residues, which is distinct from the nearly-rigid-body motion of the A1-III lid loop. In addition, chondroitin and hyaluronate lyases in PL8 (40, 41) have also been shown to possess flexible loops involved in substrate binding and/or catalysis, indicating that flexible lid loops, as well as their movements, are a common mechanism more broadly shared by several PL families.
Domain rotation movements.Domain rotation movements occur on the C-terminal β-sheet domains of alginate lyases from PL15 and PL17 during catalysis (Fig. 5A, B, C, and D). In the presence of substrate, the C-terminal β-sheet domain of Atu3025 (PL15) can rigidly rotate ∼10° compared with the apoenzyme (Fig. 5A). During the course of this hinge bending motion, the oligosaccharide substrate is embedded into the pocketlike active-site center. Phe462, located on one side of the pocket, then rotates to interact with Ser418 positioned at the opposite side of the active pocket (Fig. 5B and C) (10). Similarly, the β-sheet domain of Alg17c (PL17) undergoes a rigid body rotation of ∼12° upon ligand binding (Fig. 5D), leading to the rearrangement of residues around the active center to interact with the bound substrate (15).
Domain and subunit rotation movements of alginate lyases from PL15, PL17, and PL6. (A) Structural alignment of the wild-type (WT) Atu3025 (PDB 3A0O; orange) from the PL15 family and its complex with an unsaturated trisaccharide, ΔGGG (PDB 3AFL; gray). Structures were aligned using the N-terminal domains. The ΔGGG substrate is shown as red spheres. (B and C) Conformational changes of the residues around the active centers in the WT structure (B) and the Atu3025-ΔGGG complex (C). (D) Structural alignment of WT Alg17c (PDB 4NEI; green) and its complex with ΔMMG (PDB 4OJZ; purple) from the PL17 family. Structures were aligned by the N-terminal domains. (E) Structural alignment of the dimers of the WT AlyGC (PDB 5GKD; brown) and its complex with the saturated tetrasaccharide MMMM (PDB 5GKQ; olive) from the PL6 family. Structures were aligned using one subunit. MMMM is shown as blue spheres.
Similar domain movement has also been reported in a PL8 hyaluronate lyase that adopts a similar modular architecture with an α/α-barrel linked to a β-sheet domain (40). Therefore, such domain movement during catalysis may be a common feature of enzymes that belong to the multidomain (α/α)n toroid class of PLs, despite the fact that enzymes from different PL families do not share a high degree of sequence similarity.
Subunit rotation movements.Among all the alginate lyases, subunit rotation has been found only in the PL6 AlyGC (17). The two dimer subunits of AlyGC have a 2-fold rotation axis, and there are two identical active centers in each dimer. However, conformational alignment of WT AlyGC with a catalytically inactive mutant structure complexed with tetramannuronate showed that rotation occurs in one subunit of the dimer when a substrate is bound. This subunit rotation movement results in the enlargement of the entrance of one active-site center that binds the substrate, while the other remains small, indicating that only one monomer of dimeric AlyGC may bind substrate at any given time (Fig. 5E). The entrance state that shifts from “open” to “closed” may be related to the formation of a hydrogen bond between His192 from the NTD of one subunit and Asp526 from the CTD of the other. However, it is still unknown why AlyGC functions as a dimer but binds alginate substrates asynchronously.
The β-elimination reaction that alginate lyases utilize to degrade alginate occurs in three steps: (i) the removal of the negative charge on the carboxylate anion to reduce the pKa of the H-5 proton; (ii) a general base-catalyzed abstraction of the proton on C-5 leading to an enolate intermediate; (iii) electron transfer from the carboxyl group resulting in the formation of a double bond between C-4 and C-5 (4, 42) and finally cleavage of the O-glycosidic bond (43, 44). This reaction requires the participation of a Brønsted base to accept the H-5 proton and a Brønsted acid as a proton donor (20). Based on the configurations at C-4 and C-5, the abstracted proton and the C-4 bridging oxygen can be either on the same side (syn configuration) or on opposite sides (anti configuration) of the uronic acid ring (20). For M residues, the C-5 proton and the departing oxygen on C-4 lie syn relative to each other. This is in contrast to G residues, where they lie anti relative to one another (43) (Fig. 6). The catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases can be divided into two groups based on differences in the mechanism utilized for neutralization of the C-5 carboxyl and in the Brønsted bases and acids: (i) His (or Tyr)/Tyr β elimination and (ii) metal (Ca2+)-assisted β elimination. Available data indicate that the type of enzymatic mechanism used by PLs is conserved within each family.
Catalytic mechanisms and amino acid conservation of catalytic residues of alginate lyases. (A and B) Elimination from d-mannuronate (A) and l-guluronate (B) via syn and anti pathways, respectively. The positively charged neutralizer (ball) can be either a metal ion or several amino acid residues. In the syn elimination reaction, the catalytic base and acid can be the same amino acid residue; however, in the anti reaction, the base and acid are two different residues. (C) The strictly conserved Tyr residue is used for catalysis in the PL5, -7, -15, -17, and -18 families. Tyr acts as the general catalytic acid in these enzymes. Four sequences of characterized alginate lyases in each family are aligned. The conserved Tyr is boxed in red.
His (or Tyr)/Tyr β elimination.His (or Tyr)/Tyr β elimination has been widely adopted by alginate lyases, with the exception of members in the PL6 family. For these alginate lyases, the negative charge of the carboxylate anion is predominantly neutralized by Glu, His, Arg, or Asn, which forms a hydrogen bond with the acidic group to shift the equilibrium toward the enolate tautomeric form (43). In this case, a conserved Tyr serves as the general acid. Enzymes that utilize this mechanism can be subdivided based on their preferred catalytic base. Tyr/Tyr β elimination uses the same Tyr to serve as the general base, while enzymes that employ His (Tyr′)/Tyr β elimination utilize a His residue or another Tyr as the base.
(i) Tyr/Tyr β elimination.All PL5 family alginate lyases are M specific. The catalytic mechanism of A1-III was reported in 2001 (29, 30) and was the first reported catalytic mechanism for alginate lyases. Based on the structure of A1-III complexed with a trisaccharide cleavage product (ΔMMM, where ΔM is the unsaturated sugar residue) bound at subsites −3 to −1 from the nonreducing end, Tyr246 was predicted to act as both the catalytic base and the proton donor in a syn elimination mechanism. In this proposed mechanism, the negative charge on the C-5 carboxylate group is first neutralized by Arg239 and Asn191 so that the C-5 proton can be more easily removed. Next, Tyr246 extracts a proton from C-5 of mannuronic acid, forming a carboxylate dianion intermediate. Finally, Tyr246 donates a proton to the oxygen of the glycosidic bond, forming a double bond between C-4 and C-5. Similar to that of A1-III, aly-SJ02 is predicted to use the Tyr353 residue both as the catalytic acid and as the base, and the conserved residues in the active center, including Arg219, Lys223, Gln257, His259, Tyr347, and Lys349, recognize and stabilize the carboxyl group of the substrate (14).
(ii) His (Tyr′)/Tyr β elimination.In the five structured PL7 alginate lyases, AlyA1 and alyPG are G specific, and PA1167 is MG specific. A1-II′ and AlyA5 are bifunctional, and both prefer to degrade PG. The first PL7 alginate lyase structure (PA1167) was reported in 2004 (22); however, the molecular mechanism of catalysis was not determined until a structure of an A1-II′ mutant complexed with an alginate tetrasaccharide was obtained in 2008 (25). Analysis of the structure of an A1-II′ mutant (H191N/Y284F) complexed with an alginate tetrasaccharide (GGMG) suggested that Gln189 functions as a neutralizer for the carboxyl group, His191 acts as the general base, and Tyr284 acts as the general acid. In addition, the His/Tyr β elimination mechanism has been widely adopted by polysaccharide lyases utilizing anti elimination, such as heparin lyase in the PL13 family (45). Atu3025, an exolytic and bifunctional alginate lyase, is the only PL15 alginate lyase whose catalytic mechanism has been clarified. Atu3025 uses His311 and Tyr365 as the catalytic base and acid, respectively, based on analysis of the structure of a mutant variant (H531A) in complex with an unsaturated alginate trisaccharide (ΔGGG). Positively charged residues, such as Arg199, Arg314, and His531, are proposed to play a role in stabilizing or neutralizing the negative charge on the carboxylate anion (10).
The molecular mechanism utilized by Alg17c from PL17 is slightly distinct from the typical His/Tyr β elimination. This exolytic bifunctional enzyme uses Tyr′/Tyr β elimination. Analysis of the structure of a catalytic mutant variant (Y258A) complexed with ΔMMG bound at subsites −1 to +2 indicated that Tyr450 is the general base that abstracts the proton at C-5, Tyr258 functions as the general acid, and Asn201 and His202 stabilize the negative charge of the carboxylate.
The catalytic mechanism(s) utilized by PL14 alginate lyases remains enigmatic. The viral enzyme, vAL-1, degrades alginate and poly-GlcA in a pH-dependent manner, and Lys197 and Ser219 are supposed to be crucial for vAL-1 activity at both pH 7.0 and 10.0, based on both structural and mutational analyses (16, 26, 46). For the M-specific eukaryotic enzyme, AkAly30, its substrate-binding models showed that Lys99 forms ionic bonds with the M residue at the +1 subsite, and Tyr140 and Tyr142 are coupled together and form a hydrogen bond network with the glycosidic bond (16, 26, 46). Although the molecular details are still unclear, these data implied that the catalytic mechanisms of vAL-1and AkAly30 are likely to be significantly different.
Despite significant variation in the protein folds of alginate lyases, the His (Tyr′)/Tyr mechanism is well adapted to both syn and anti types of elimination. The reaction can adopt a syn (Fig. 6A) or an anti (Fig. 6B) elimination depending on the identity of the sugar residue at the +1 subsite. Therefore, in the case of bifunctional alginate lyases, they can undertake both syn and anti elimination of the substrate (Fig. 6A and B). However, G-specific lyases can carry out only anti elimination (Fig. 6B), while M-specific lyases can perform only syn elimination (Fig. 6A). In this mechanism, Glx (Glu and Gln) and/or Asx (Asp and Asn) usually act as neutralizers that neutralize the carboxylic group of the uronate at the +1 subsite. Further, some positively charged residues, including His and Arg, assist the neutralizer(s) through a network of hydrogen bonds between the enzyme and the substrate. A Tyr residue, which is strictly conserved in alginate lyases utilizing this mechanism, functions as the Brønsted acid (Fig. 6C). In syn elimination, typified by A1-III from PL5, the enzymes prefer to use the same Tyr as the Brønsted base; however, enzymes that perform anti elimination prefer to utilize a His residue as the Brønsted base.
Metal-assisted β elimination.Metal-assisted β elimination was first described for the PL6 AlyMG, which uses Ca2+-assisted β elimination for alginate degradation (33). Structural analysis of AlyGC indicated that a Ca2+ ion is coordinated by Asn181, Glu213, Glu215, and Glu184 in the active-site center, which are conserved in all characterized PL6 alginate lyases. Ca2+ is suggested to neutralize the carboxylic group of an alginate residue at the +1 subsite, similar to the role of Glx and Asx in enzymes using the His (Tyr)/Tyr mechanism (Fig. 6B). The interaction between Ca2+ and the carboxylic group likely enhances the reactivity of the C-5 proton (47). In this reaction, Lys220 and Arg241 function as the Brønsted base and acid, respectively (Fig. 6B). This metal-assisted β elimination mechanism is universal in enzymes adopting the β-helix fold (48).
Interestingly, by combining knowledge of the catalytic mechanisms, i.e., His (Tyr)/Tyr versus the metal-assisted mechanism, and the complexity of the three-dimensional (3-D) structures, we found that most of the reported PL enzymes utilizing a single residue as both the acid and base have a preference for M residues, such as A1-III from PL5 and aly-SJ02 from PL18. On the other hand, enzymes utilizing two different amino acid residues for catalysis, such as A1-II′ from PL7 and AlyGC from PL6, prefer G residues. M and G are epimeric; therefore, there may be some relevance between the catalytic residues and the sugar residue present at the +1 subsite for more-efficient electron transfer. However, due to the limited number of available structures and the paucity of experimental data, this hypothesis will require further data for confirmation.
Despite great progress toward elucidating the structures and catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases, much work on these complex enzymes is still required. For example, Aly is an alginate lyase that remains unclassified in the CAZY database due to low sequence similarity with known PL families (49). Therefore, the structure and catalytic mechanism of this enzyme need to be defined to determine whether it represents another distinct family of PLs. As more novel alginate lyases are being reported, more information regarding the structures and catalytic mechanisms of these enzymes are anticipated. In addition, many alginate lyases are promiscuous and are able to degrade other polysaccharides beyond alginate. For example, Smlt1473 from PL5 can degrade poly-GlcA, hyaluronan, and PM. However, the molecular basis of this observed polyspecificity needs further exploration. Moreover, heparinase I from PL13, which has a β-jelly roll fold, is structurally similar to PL7 and PL18 alginate lyases. The PL6 family contains both alginate lyases and chondroitinase B lyases that share structural similarities. These similarities may indicate possible evolutionary relationships between polysaccharide lyases. Undisputedly, further research on these topics will broaden our understanding of alginate lyases and offer a better basis for their application.

There was a free to the public baby fair at the local convention center today. We headed down there in time to be there soon after it opened.
It was ridiculously crowded. Just tons and tons of people there and very slow passage through the "aisles" of booths and tables set up. My claustrophobia started kicking in, and then Cecilia started to become overwhelmed. Poor girl.
edit to add: We actually won, of all things, a diaper cake. ELL OH ELL. But hey, it's cool, I imagine we can find someone who can use the diapers, or if they happen to be size 1, maybe we'll use them at night or something.
Also meant to add that a lot of people, especially the photographers running their booths, were excited about Cecilia's headband and asked me if I would make some for them! So hopefully I'll get some emails for more business. Sweet!
Oh my gosh I just adore that hat!!

CALGARY, Oct. 25, 2018 /CNW/ – Surge Energy Inc. (“Surge” or the “Company”) (TSX: SGY) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Mount Bastion Oil & Gas Corp. (“MBOG”) pursuant to an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).
All of the issued and outstanding common shares of MBOG were acquired by Surge for aggregate consideration consisting of $145 million in cash and approximately 75.4 million common shares of Surge (“Surge Shares”). At the special meeting of Surge shareholders to approve the issuance of the Surge Shares pursuant to the Acquisition, held on October 24, 2018, 42.79% of the outstanding Surge Shares were represented and the issuance was approved by 99.31% of the Surge Shares voted at the meeting.
Effective today, Surge's revolving credit facility was increased by 57 percent from $350 million to $550 million. As of the close of the Acquisition, approximately $400 million is currently drawn on the credit facility, providing Surge with approximately $150 million in available liquidity.
As previously announced, Surge anticipates increasing its dividend by 25 percent, from $0.10 per share annually ($0.008333 per month) to $0.125 per share annually ($0.0104166 per month). The proposed increase is expected to be effective for Surge's regular monthly dividend to be paid in December 2018. Any dividend increase will be subject to the approval of Surge's Board of Directors.
Based on continued successful development drilling results in Surge's Sparky, Valhalla, and Shaunavon core areas, together with consistent waterflood results at Shaunavon and Sparky, the Company's Q3/18 production averaged 18,029 boepd (79 percent oil and liquids).
The Company's Q3/18 production exceeded Surge's previously released 2018 production exit rate guidance of 17,175 boepd by five percent, and exceeded analyst consensus production estimates of 16,880 boepd1 for Q3/18 by seven percent.
Over the last nine financial quarters Surge has now grown the Company's production per share by 41 percent. The Company has upwardly revised production five times over the 27 month period (i.e. prior to the MBOG Acquisition) – two times organically, and three times relating to accretive core area acquisitions.
Surge's continued quarterly operational outperformance has been accomplished within the Company's existing capital expenditure budget guidance of $107 million for 2018.
The Company's Q3/18 results are expected to be released on November 6, 2018, and do not include any operational or financial contribution from the Arrangement.
For further details regarding the Company's 2019 guidance, please see Surge's Press Release dated September 5, 2018.

For decades, higher end cameras have included WDR, but they normally tell you what WDR quality level you're buying.
The dB unit is the ratio of the brightest and the dimmest object that can be captured by the camera. This tells you the range where the WDR works. The higher the ratio, the greater the difference between the low light and high light spectrum that the camera can capture and the better your picture will be. This is why high dB ratios are better - they can capture a larger spectrum of lighting conditions.
What is Spectrum Vision WDR?
They don't list the dB ratings, so no one can know. Do different models that claim to have Spectrum Vision all have the same results? Is one model better than another? How do they compare to other WDR products?
You can't know what Spectrum Vision WDR even is, since they aren't telling you anything about the actual specs.

The Dix Bridge formally joins Saratoga and Washington Counties within the Hudson Crossing Park. Once closed to all foot and vehicle traffic and flagged for demolition, it was rehabilitated thanks to a group of dedicated individuals and organizations. The Dix Bridge now serves as the keystone of Hudson Crossing Park, bridging communities and inviting bicyclists, pedestrians, snowmobilers, and skiers to cross the Hudson River. It also serves as the local crossing for the N.Y.S. Canalway Trail, a 546 mile-long shared-use trail following along the N.Y.S. Canal System and the Empire State Trail, which, when completed in 2020, will be a continuous 750-mile route spanning the state from New York City to Canada and Buffalo to Albany, creating the longest multi-use state trail in the nation.
The site itself has great historic significance. This was a well-traveled crossroad for the Native Americans. If you were to stand in the center of the bridge and look to the north you would see the cuts in the river-bank where General John Burgoyne's troops came to this place and crossed the Hudson on "Bateaux" 30' long flat-bottomed, flat-sided, double-ended crafts. More than 6000 people traversed this area in the fall of 1777 and the crossing came to be known as Burgoyne's "Bridge of Boats".
In the late 1800's if you had wanted to cross the Hudson River near Schuylerville N.Y. you would have paid a toll and likely crossed down-river near the current Route 29 Bridge or up-river near the current Route 4 Northumberland Bridge. A local resident named Clark owned property on the east side of the river. In 1888 he built a beautiful home for his daughter who was the wife of John Alden Dix. (John Dix later served as Governor of New York State from 1911-1913). A second house, a mirror image of the first, was built for his other daughter and no longer stands.
By 1895, Mr. Clark was annoyed with the crossing tolls and he used his personal funds to build a "free bridge". With much fanfare, the Sept. 11 1895 "Schuylerville Standard" announced the opening of the bridge. It had taken three months to complete and was wide enough to allow teams to pass each other without difficulty. Built by F. R. Hawkins Iron Works of Springfield, Mass. the Dix Bridge allowed folks to travel into town to trade without having to pay for the privilege.
It has always been told to us that the bridge was initially to be constructed as a free bridge by the late Mr. Lemon Thomson (1822-1897) and work was completed in 1898 or 1899 and was in full use by 1900. The town of Thomson was named for him and he was a lumber merchant. He built two houses which were mirror images of each other for his daughters (one of which is our home). His daughter Gertrude Alden Thomson married his business partner John Alden Dix who later became Gov. of NY. They formed the Thomson-Dix partnership that sold lumber and then developed Paper Mills , most notably Wall-Paper Mills. Upon Mr. Thomson's death Dix purchased his estates equities. Other names Dix was involved with are Iroquois Paper Co., Blandy Paper Co., American Woodboard Co. and Moose River Lumber Co. He reportedly owned 17,000 acres of woodland and rigidly enforced reforestation practices. The other house Mr. Thomson built was for his daughter Nancy Sherman Thomson who married State Senator Curtis N. Douglas. That house just north of ours was lost in a fire.

Avanade's Toby Velte is about to have a book published on Green IT. Here is a link to the book on amazon.com.
After talking to Toby to understand his book and Avanade Tools.
Avanade has created a tool that uses more than 120 variables and real-world customer data to measure the concrete impact of Green IT projects for a customer. This deep ROI modeling tool measures the true impact that virtualization and data center optimization projects can have on costs, energy use, carbon footprint, etc.
I was thinking great I will write a blog entry. Where is your url for your Green IT initiative? "Well, we don't have a place on our web site." So, I can't actually link to anything on Avanade's web site.
Wait, you have a book, you have Green IT analysis tools, and you don't have a marketing site. How can anyone claim what you are doing is greenwashing when you don't have a marketing initiative? You are truly working on filtering the greenwash: anti-greenwashing.
Here is a sample screen shot from Toby's tool.
This screen is a sample of a virtualization calculation taking into account typical TCO costs, but adds specifics for kW/Hr and carbon footprint. Staring at these numbers Toby calculates data center facilities cost per sq ft. It would be more accurate to calculate the data facilities cost as a function of kW capacity.
It turns out Toby is going to be coming to meet with a software company in Redmond in two weeks, and I can meet with him face to face as my office is close to a Redmond software company too.
This is Part 1 of what I am sure will be another post after I meet with Toby and get a copy of his book.
This groundbreaking work offers a complete roadmap for integrating environmentally sound techniques and technologies into your Information Systems architecture. Green IT explains how to adopt a business-driven green initiative and provides a detailed implementation plan. You will find strategies for reducing power needs, procuring energy from alternative sources, utilizing virtualization technologies, and managing sustainable development. Case studies highlighting successful green IT projects at major organizations are included. Keep your IT department and your organization in the green--both environmentally and financially--with help from this comprehensive guide.
I have a copy of the virtualization chapter, but I want to see what Toby has for his data center optimization advice.

This is a seminar focused on in–depth examination of theory, application and research issues in Educational and Cognitive Psychology. The content will be adjusted according to the interests and specializations of each lecturer. The goal is to have distinguished visitors or specialized scholars/scientists who will work with the Psychology Department to provide lectures for this seminar.
The course is designed to provide an integrated, in-depth and applied approach to multivariate data analysis and linear statistical models in psychological research. The focus will be on practical issues such as selecting the appropriate measures of analysis, preparing data for analysis, performing the analysis with SPSS, interpreting output and presenting research results. This course will provide an overview of some of the most common multivariate methods, namely: exploratory factor analysis, analysis of variance and covariance, multivariate analysis of variance and covariance, multiple regression, meditation and moderation. The course will strongly emphasize the applications of multivariate methods, rather than their theoretical derivation. All multivariate procedures will be discussed with reference to research designs and interpreted in a practical manner.
This course presents the contribution that psychological research can make to educational practice and discusses relevant issues that concern classroom educators. It critically examines contemporary theories of human development and learning in order to apply this knowledge in educational settings and situations. Additionally, it examines topics such as individual differences, home/school relations and cooperation among the educational psychologist, teachers and parents.
This course will inform students of the current research and theory in the area of cognitive development. Theories and models of cognitive change will be taught, as well as methods for determining conceptual change. Students will be required to study the relevant bibliography and present reports on relevant topics of the bibliography both orally and in written form. For practical experience, students will also be asked to participate in small-scale experiments with the models taught.
The main theories of human development, from conception to the end of life, will be critically presented and discussed. There will also be discussions concerning intra-personal and interpersonal influences on biological, cognitive, emotional and social development.
This course will cover the main theories and research on cognitive, physiological, socio-emotional, moral, and personality development during adolescence. Furthermore, we will also discuss the various problems faced by adolescents, emphasizing the factors contributing to the development of problematic behavior, including emotional, social and academic problems. The importance of discussing various psychological and other problems faced by adolescents lies in the fact that they are connected to extreme behaviors, such as suicide, criminal and aggressive behavior.
This course will introduce students to classic and contemporary theories of human development, which consider development to be a socio-psychological process. There will be a historical review of theories that form the theoretical bases of the contemporary socio-genetic approach to human development, e.g., the classic theories of Mead, Baldwin, Piaget and Vygotsky. There will be also in-depth discussions about recent meta-Piagetian theories of the Geneva social school, and about meta-Vygotskian theories such as those of Bruner, Rogoff, Wertsch and Valsiner.
This course will offer in-depth discussions concerning two of the most significant areas of Social Psychology: social influence and social representations. There will be discussions about the functional and the genetic model of social influence, as well as about classic and contemporary advancements in the areas of social influence and social representations. Moreover, the development of social representations of gender and national identity will be discussed. The applications of social influence and social representation theories to the fields of prevention, health psychology, advertising, communication and trade will also be discussed.
This course will review the most common disorders of childhood and adolescence with an emphasis on diagnostic criteria, developmental course, possible etiologies and the role of the environment in the development and maintenance of problem behaviors. Scientifically based treatments for these disorders will also be discussed.
This course will examine the phenomenon of aggressiveness, by presenting the various theories that attempt to explain it, as well as the empirical research that aims to locate its parameters. Terms such as pre-active and counteractive aggressiveness, emotional toughness and its relationship to psychopathology; family as a trigger for the development of aggressive behavior and the development of an aggressive personality will be analyzed. There will be special reference to bullying and profiles of children involved in it (bullies, victims, aggressive victims).We will also discuss about issues related to antisocial behavior in general, such as substance abuse, youth violation of rules and youth criminality.
This course examines the ways that social psychology can facilitate an understanding of discourse as a social and communicative practice. It will examine the ways in which discourse, both written and spoken constructs, creates different social realities and is structured in order to achieve specific communicative ends. During the course, reference will be made to research that critically analyses everyday communicative discourse as well as institutional discourse (media, political). Special reference will be made to representations in the media discourse that relate to specific social and psychological issues, such as psychopathology, gender, disability, sexuality, racism and nationalism.
This course examines how structural and functional features of the family microsystem influence its members, especially the young, still developing members. The main theories of family development and function will be presented, with emphasis on the systemic approach. There will also be presentations and discussions on recent research targeting the interaction of intrapersonal and interpersonal variables on the child's cognitive, psycho-social and personality development.
Human language is a dynamic and complex function. The purpose of this advanced course is to discuss the theoretical and scientific bases for language acquisition and development, and the language disorders caused by developmental, organic, and neurological etiologies. The course will cover the spectrum of ages beginning with infancy and will conclude with the aging process. Disorders like aphasia, specific language impairment, language learning disabilities, as well as language impairments resulting from brain injuries and dementia and the relationship between language, cognition, and other psychological functions will be presented. Assessment techniques and intervention strategies based on contemporary theoretical, research, and clinical models will be included.
This class identifies the need for a social psychological approach to the study of phenomena related to cross-cultural contact and communication. Students will use different theoretical paradigms and empirical evidence coming from intercultural contact zones worldwide in order to understand issues related to the psychological aspects of movement and migration. The course will first explain and discuss concepts related to nation and nationalism and will then move on to the study of psychological processes related to migration. We will then identify the challenges that people face when they are exposed to new environments, by examining processes of acculturation and focusing on issues of identity and stigma negotiation. We will discuss the challenges that societies face with migration, by referring to issues of acculturation, identity and prejudice. Finally, we will discuss of intergroup relations issues in multicultural societies.
Cognitive neuroscience is the study of the biological underpinnings of the mind. This course will be an introduction to the field and will cover a range of techniques/methods as well as demonstrate applications of those techniques to a wide array of cognitive, social, emotional, and developmental processes. Aside from summarizing key research and methods in the field, the course will aim to sharpen student's ability to think critically about topics in the field so they can apply such skills in their own research.
This course will offer in-depth discussions on classic and contemporary theories of intergroup relationships. The concepts of stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination will be discussed. We will focus on the theories of Frustration-Aggression, Authoritarian Personality, Realistic Conflict, Social Identity, Contact Hypothesis, as well as recent evolutions of these theories, such as the theory of Orientation towards Social Reign, the Theory of Threats, and theories combining the Contact Theory with the Social Identity Theory. We will also discuss empirical findings and applications of these theories on the mixed education institution and on the resolution of intergroup conflicts in North Ireland, South Africa, Israel, Palestine and other places.
This course will discuss the socio-psychological bases of crosscultural education. Students will learn the main theories on the generation and reduction of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination, as well as their application in educational settings. There will be discussions on the phenomenon of immigration, looking at the issue from the perspectives of the minority and the majority. The course will also discuss the topic of national conflicts, as well as the role that the educational system may play in peace consolidation through the application of the discussed theories.
This course will introduce and familiarize students with qualitative research methods in psychology through a theoretical review and empirical applications. The course will involve the study of qualitative research projects in the areas of social, developmental, educational, cognitive and clinical psychology. The course will include study of: 1) the epistemological principles of qualitative and quantitative methodology; 2) principles and application of methods of data collection; 3) analytical theoretical models; 4) organization, management and class presentation of an original small research project.
Research Design, Review of Regression Analysis, Basic Functions of Structural Equation Modelling and Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (First-order CFA model, CFA models with Higher-Order factors), Multitrait-Multimethod model, The Full Latent Variable model, Growth Modelling, Multiple-Group Analyses(Testing for invariant factorial structure of a theoretical construct, Testing for invariant latent mean structure, Testing for Invariant Causal Structure), Item Response Theory, Rasch measurement models. Emphasis will be placed on application, analysis and interpretation of latent variable models analyzed with appropriate software.

It wouldn’t be the start of a season without a crisis somewhere. Yet again, it’s Bradford Bulls. As a Hull KR fan, I know all about watching your club live on the edge of disappearing. Neil Hudgell has wrought miracles keeping the club afloat, and with a new board member John Keable putting his financial clout in to the mix, hopefully, the days of week by week worry are behind them.
Bradford just seem to lurch from one crisis to another at the moment though. After all the money the fans pumped in to save the club (twice), they are now one game away from being on zero after the six points they were docked for entering administration and looking like (two players jumping ship aside) a team with real purpose. I can’t blame those players who left. After all, they have mortgages to pay, bills will become due and good will only goes so far. All credit to Francis Cummins. He has been a rod of iron during this latest crisis.
Is it about time the RFL just allowed a club to go under? It matters not that the club is one of the oldest in the competition, it would hopefully serve as a reminder that the pot of money in our game is not as deep as we would like to either hope or believe it is. Even the “new” Sky deal only slowed down the need of a few clubs to avoid calling in the administrators if rumours are to be believed.
In an ideal world, every club would have a Mr Keable or a Dr Koukash, but life just isn’t that fair. Sometimes the herd needs to be thinned out.
If the fans got together and as was suggested by Rod Studd, either bought the club or started a new one like FC United of Manchester, who knows? If the RFL gave grass roots clubs the sort of support they need, then perhaps in the new world of promotion and relegation, we may well see either a reborn Bulls or even a Bradford Northern once again grace the top flight of the game in the UK, and challenging for honours.
After a fantastic first forty minutes against Wakefield on day one of Super League, Salford have been brought back down to earth with a bit of a bump.
The mauling handed to them in front of their home crowd by Saint Helens prompted the charismatic owner, Dr Marwan Koukash to tell fans that the team would not play like that again. In the intervening period before last night’s Widnes game, I’ve heard people (some of whom should know better) that Brian Noble was out of top flight coaching for too long, and had become little more than a media darling with his work at Premier Sports and in the printed press.
If any coach has had a close up look at modern day tactics, it’s Nobby. He attended almost as many RLWC games as were possible, and from his media eyrie, and with the access to the players and coaches he will have had, you can guarantee he was making more than a mental note of what plays were working and how they were put together.
I do believe that Salford as a team need a couple of things.
A week without a player being side-lined for a month would be nice, and any club that brings in 13 new players will take time to gel on the field of play.
I can see the owner’s frustration, and can to a great degree share it, being a season ticket holder, but I’m also a realist. You don’t become a bad coach overnight, just as you can’t build a great team overnight, especially in a sport as reliant on communication between players as ours is.
At the shirt presentation, Dr Koukash said his relationship with Brian Noble was more than the usual coach/owner one you will find in sport. I hope that Brian is given time to make this squad into the team they have the potential to become, because if not, Phil Clarke will look a right idiot backing them to win everything this season!
With a little over a week to go before he would see the fruits from the first wave of his “Redeviloution”, Dr Marwan Koukash opened the doors of the A.J. Bell stadium to fans old and new to personally present shirts to the squad that he firmly believes are capable of finishing in the top four of Super League XIX and to show off his vision for the Salford of the future.
It was a chance for the fans to not only get up close and personal with the players, but to have a good look around the stadium, with pretty much all areas open to them, from the new gym, put in so that the squad didn’t have to travel to Leigh sports village through to the dressing rooms. Even setting foot on the hallowed turf was not forbidden!
Marwan is a man who divides opinion, and it’s something he revels in. To be fair to him, he’s made certain that Salford have probably had the lion’s share of press during the close season, be it his ideas on the salary cap, or how to move the sport in the UK forward without the perceived interference from Red Hall. One of the first things he said ahead of the shirt presentation was how he felt about undoubtedly his biggest signing, Brian Noble. When Noble said that he needed to bring in about four of five players, Marwan laughed and said in his own unique way, bloody hell mate, we need to only KEEP four or five.
When Marwan says that his relationship is not the usual one of chairman and coach, you believe him. This is a man who has fought tooth and nail to get to where he is today, and will fight just as hard for anyone in his corner as he will argue against anyone he feels is not.
As he says, a 300% increase in season ticket sales may not be as large a number as Saints, Warrington or Leeds, but he understands that the fans have had years of wait and see promises that have gone undelivered and that many will still pay on the day, and (hopefully) many more will buy once they start to see the fruits of his actions on and off the field paying dividends. He has already approached Red Hall to ask for an exemption on the cap to bring in a marquee player who he is confident will be a game changer.
He also says that on paper, there are not many better teams than Salford. Problem is, the game is played on grass and on Sunday, against Wakefield, Marwan started to see his dream become a reality.
I asked Brian Noble just before kick off if he was feeling nervous and he said he was probably more nervous than the players, but they had a job to do and were looking forward to getting it done. With that, Brian shot off to finish his pre match preparation.
With all the preseason hype surrounding the club, it was no surprise to see the touchline full of photographers, TV cameras and the entire Koukash family all soaking up the atmosphere. The Red Devil parachute display team were due to arrive at 2.15pm, but were delayed in taking off from Manchester Airport by about 15 minutes, but when they did arrive (bedecked in Salford shirts!) they were greeted with cheers by the waiting crowd, who had just been told that due to crowd congestion outside the ground, kick off would be delayed by 10 minutes to allow everyone to safely get inside.
Once 3.10 arrived, the Devils and Wildcats took to the field and it was obvious that Salford were not about to let the visitors spoil the party, with Gareth Hock going over after five minutes to score his debut try for the club, easily converted by Jake Mullaney to give the Devils a 6-0 advantage.
Wakefield’s first spell of pressure culminated in a goal line drop out after eleven minutes, but that was pretty much it for the Wildcats, who seemed to be getting most of their advantages down the left hand side, where Salford looked a little shorthanded at times. It wasn’t until the twenty fifth minute, when England international Rangi Chase went over in a challenge and hurt his knee, forcing Noble into a few tactical changes that Salford really started to pile on the pressure with Harrison Hansen scoring after twenty eight minutes, again converted by Mullaney, to extend the lead to 12 nil.
Four minutes later, Andrew Dixon also went over, making it 3 unanswered tries, all converted to allow the devils an 18 point advantage at the break.
So far, so good. Brian Noble must have felt like taking the second half off! The only fly in the ointment was the man in the middle, Mr Child, who seemed to not understand the onside at the play of the ball rule meant that the players (on BOTH sides) must retreat 10 meters. To say he looked out of his depth was an understatement. The RFL needs to seriously look at the standard of refereeing in our game. Steve Ganson is now supposed to be in charge, but over the last 5 years, on average the standard of refereeing has slipped in my honest opinion.
After the break, Wakefield looked to really take the game back to Salford and break the hearts of the home crowd, who as Dr Koukash had said have had so many broken promises, he understands that they are wary of yet another promised golden dawn not becoming sunrise.
It took just five minutes for the fears of the crowd to look like coming true as Matt Ryan scored for the Wildcats, and just another four for them to go over again in the guise of Samoan international Pita Godinet, this time converted by Paul Sykes to reduce the deficit to 18-10, the Wakefield faithful really started to make their voice heard. Not to be outdone, the Salford fans found themselves in for a very nervy finish, once Ali Lauititi went over not too long after being held up over the line, a fact coach Agar disputed in the post-match press conference. To quote Richard, ‘I’ve never seen anyone stop Ali one-on-one that close to the line’. He said: ‘Well, he didn’t’.
With Sykes only managing to convert one of his chances, Agar could well rue not coming away with at least a point from the game, if not two.
As it was, Salford got their much anticipated season off to a winning, if nervy start. Coach Noble said post-match that Chase had a muscular knock and at that point it didn’t look too bad and that Junior Sau had tweaked his groin, but that they would both be hopefully fit for Salford’s next game, away to London.
A “New Deal” for the sport?
The announcement this week of a new deal to broadcast Super League was met with scepticism in a lot of ways.
Firstly, why did the RFL decide to add five years to an existing deal rather than put out to tender the rights?
After all, Sky have lost the Champions league and some Premier League games to BT Sport, the NRL and State of Origin are on Premier Sport, meaning that as one of the so called jewels in the Sky Sports locker, the game could have easily attracted more money and better coverage had the rights gone out to tender.
As the RFL is a closed shop effectively, the same people running the sport and the international game and (lets be fair here) delivering one hell of a World Cup, it means that there is no transparency in its dealings and the same few people decide what will happen and where. To give clubs just 24 hours to accept the new Sky offer was a joke.
How are the clubs supposed to look over the contracts and properly take in what they will win or lose in that space of time? They just have to take Nigel Wood & co.’s word that it was the best they could get.
Don’t get me wrong. Sky have done wonders for the sport, and as a former publican, I loved having a pub full of fans on a Friday and Saturday nights, all having differing opinions on the game and a load of banter, but aside from that, the coverage is excellent, but take a look at Premier Sports coverage of RLWC 2013 and the Championship games. It was also fantastic. What BT sport are doing with their football coverage is just as revolutionary as Sky when they first started showing the Premier league.
As Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan told League express, it’s a dreadful commercial decision to agree, with three years left to run on the current deal, a new deal to run from 2017 to 2021. He believes that for the RFL to pretty much bully the clubs into this deal is a sign of the bad governance at Red Hall, and I agree.
As he says, it’s the responsibility of the Governing body and Board of Sup League to make certain the right decisions are taken in the interest of the sport as a whole, but these two entities are largely made up of the same people!
He also feels the Chief Executive is too closely involved in driving through his own personal view of the restructuring, rather than the inclusive and open minded approach a Chief exec SHOULD lead with.
Lenegan regrets that due to the nature of the RFL’s take it or leave it offer, he voted for the deal for the sake of unanimity. He also believes that fans should realise that the process followed by the governing body was seriously flawed and will hopefully result in a major review of the management structure of Super League and dual involvement of the RFL in that management.
Martyn Sadler gives a breakdown of where the cash will actually go as well in the pages of League Express, but I for one hope that the RFL is looked at and the sort of breakaway that led to the Premier League being formed outside of the FA is looked at.
We also let the RFL virtually give it away.

This Y pipe fits Tundra, 5.7L V8 2007-2009 Double Cab and Crew Cab trucks. It does not fit the Regular Cab.
This Y pipe is designed to bolt to the rear of the Doug Thorley Long Tube headers and completely replaces the pipe containing the two catalytic converters and bolts to rest of the exhaust system.
This prevents you from having to cut the front cat from the cat pipe when installing the Doug Thorley long tube headers and making the installation a complete bolt on installation that is easily reversible when needed.

Although there's a lot of information out there on what works and what doesn't, every campus is different. For your alcohol and other drug abuse prevention program to be effective, it needs to fit your community—and adapt as conditions change.
Evaluating your program is an integral part of maintaining and improving its effectiveness. Even when you start with evidence-based strategies and materials, data about your own students and prevention efforts is the "evidence base" for the effectiveness of your program.
What type of problem needs to be addressed (e.g., high rates of heavy drinking, fights during sporting events, underage drinking)?
What strategy is most likely to address each problem?
At what level should the strategy be implemented (e.g., at sports stadiums, campus-wide, community-wide, statewide)?
Who should participate in developing strategies? Who should participate at the start and who should be brought in only after a supportive base for action is established?
What strategies are currently being implemented?
How well are existing policies being enforced?
Would enforcement of existing policies be more effective than implementing new policies?
How can environmental and individually-focused approaches complement each other?
What resources are needed to implement new strategies? Are resources available?
How will new strategies be evaluated and fine-tuned to maximize their effect?
Are the students who need help most actually getting it? That is, are your interventions reaching the students who need them the most?
Are your strategies founded on solid, research-based findings? And, are those strategies reaching the vast majority of your student population?
SOURCE: Material for this checklist originally appeared in Toomey, T.L., and Wagenaar, A.C. Environmental policies to reduce college drinking.
Research shows that giving students the bare facts about the risks of alcohol and drug misuse doesn't change their behavior. To reduce high-risk drinking and drug use among students, a prevention program needs to correct their misperceptions about how much drinking or drug use is "normal" among their peers. It must also create an environment in and around the campus where underage and excessive drinking aren't tolerated, laws and policies about drugs and drinking are enforced, and alcohol is not the focus of all social activities.
The more you know about perceptions of alcohol and drug use among your students and their actual drug and drinking behavior, the more effective your prevention program can be. A program like MyStudentBody can help by generating reports using data gleaned from student assessments in the Essentials and Student Conduct courses.
Programs like MyStudentBody that use a motivational interviewing approach that tailors drug and alcohol education to students' own beliefs and behavior can help to correct their specific misperceptions and address their individual level of risk. Scheduled follow-up assessments give you the data to track changes over time, so you can evaluate where your program is working and where it could improve.
To help you choose effective interventions to add to your program, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) maintains the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), a searchable database of programs that have been reviewed and rated by independent reviewers. MyStudentBody is listed in NREPP.
"Of all the programs we looked at, our counseling staff, the 'chief investigators' in the selection process, were most impressed with MyStudentBody."

Forza Horizon 3 is on the horizon! As the game is scheduled for the release next Saturday, everybody is getting ready for the big day. Microsoft announced a few launch events for this weekend, while hardware manufacturers are tirelessly working to optimize their components for this highly demanding game.
To promote the newest member of Forza Horizon family, Microsoft will organize launch events on Saturday, September 24. Launch events are going to be held in every Microsoft’s retail store across the US. Additionally, a standalone launch event will take place at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
“Fans are invited to their local Microsoft Store to enjoy snacks, preview the game and the Ultimate Edition and compete in a Forza Motorsport 6 gaming tournament for Xbox prizes – including a free copy of the new Forza Horizon 3. Almost everyone that pre-orders – in-store or online – can enter to win a Polaris RZR XP 1000, as seen in the game, by showing proof of purchase at a Microsoft Store during the event to receive a digital code that will be entered for the sweepstakes. The winner will be chosen and announced via Twitch live from the event at the flagship Microsoft Store located on Fifth Avenue,” states Xbox Wire.
You probably know that Forza Horizon 3 is a monstrously demanding game, that is going to push even the most powerful graphic cards to the limit. In that manner Nvidia just released its new GeForce Game Ready 372.90 WHQL drivers, to optimize its hardware for the upcoming Forza Horizon 3 game.
So, if you own a compatible graphics card, head over to Windows Update, and download the latest driver. Remember, you might not be able to run the game, if you don’t install necessary drivers.
Forza Horizon 3 will be released on September 27, for Windows 10 and Xbox One. The game is already available for pre-order, so if you want to reserve your copy of Forza Horizon 3, you can do so from the Windows Store.

As you may know, I am a skin care addict which means I try a lot of different moisturisers because I like to see what works for my skin, and because well I love buying and trying skin care haha!
Moisturiser for me needs to be chosen very carefully, I have combination skin which is very sensitive and can get quite dry (wow thanks skin for being all the things!). These four moisturisers have worked on my skin incredibly well and I chop and change between all four when my skin needs something different, so here we go!
My number one all time favourite moisturiser goes to...Kiehls Skin Rescuer! This bad boy is my secret weapon to healthy, glowing, even skin! I got this on a whim whilst I was browsing the Kiehls website (by browsing I obviously mean purchasing). I claimed to do all the thing I wanted it too such as reducing redness, stress and signs of fatigue (the last 2 things synonymous with writing a dissertation). From the first application I could tell this moisturiser was the one! It has a light scent, kind of avocado-y, the formula is light and sinks into the skin so effortlessly. All in all this is my holy grail moisturiser and 5/5 from me!
My favourite moisturiser for keeping me matte all day long, La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat. This moisturiser is great for us combination skin girls because it regulates the amount of sebum the skin produces, therefore keeps you looking matte all day long. This can be used under make up as a primer or just as a normal moisturiser. The smell is very subtle but nice and the formula feels lovely on the skin, not heavy at all and sinks in very quickly!
My favourite moisturiser for giving hydration all day is the Antipodes Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream. First off I adore the packaging for this product, its so cute! But anyway, this moisturiser is so luxurious and thick and you can really feel it working on your skin. It has manuka honey in it which makes it super great for those of you with acne, as manuka honey helps to keep skin clear and feeling fresh because it has anti-bacterial properties! The smell is to be desired, I don't mind it as it smells like the Antipodes Aurora face mask! Overall this moisturiser keeps my skin feeling plump, fresh and hydrated all day, also when I use this under my make up, it seems to stay on longer!
Finally is The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser. This one is great for those tired days, when your skin is feeling a little under the weather and needs a little pick me up. The formula is very gel like and is incredibly refreshing on the skin as it is quite cold. It gives you an instant glow that I have never had from any other moisturiser! This one definitely has my favourite scent, it is very fresh and invigorating, perfect for using in the morning to get that skin glowing!
So there you have it, my favourite moisturisers for my skin type! What is your favourite moisturiser?!
I really want to try the Antipodes moisturiser it sounds amazing, as does many of their other products.

Elegant Themes have been in operation for eight decades, also have served over 500,000 clients to date. In the process, they’ve grown into a workforce of more than 50 employees working in many countries — a far cry from their humble beginnings working from creator Nick Roach’s school apartment.Elegant Themes currently offer 87 WordPress topics and five plugins. Access to all their themes (including their flagship’Divi’ motif — more about this below) and plugins will put you back $89 annually , making them very competitively priced. If you’re considering using their products for several decades, though, it is actually their slightly pricier’Lifetime Access’ plan that is the very best value alternative, giving you access to all present and future products to get a one-time fee of $249. However, is lively Themes the ideal choice for your project? Let’s find out.
Let us start with a look at the several themes available, before moving on to this plugins.As mentioned, signing up for Elegant Themes gives you access to 87 WordPress themes for the price of what you could pay for just one motif elsewhere. However, there are really only two options to take into account. Since the arrival of Divi in 2013, the focus of Elegant Themes was around making this the single best WordPress theme available. Extra followed soon afterwards, and together they have come to be the highlights of this Elegant Themes portfolio.
While Divi, also, to a lesser extent, Extra, are multipurpose themes that can be used to make any type of site, the other topics are somewhat more focused on a specific type of project. |} It is possible you could discover a theme from that the Elegant Themes back catalogue that is right for your website. However, in the event that you really need to benefit from what Elegant Themes must offer and has been working on for the past couple of years, you should only consider the Divi and Extra topics from their collection.While signing up with Elegant Themes gets you access to Divi, one of the best WordPress topics around, and the impressive additional magazine motif, do not get overly excited about another 85 options. However, as we will see in the next section of this Elegant Themes review, you will find more reasons to choose this company than just their flagship WordPress themes.
As stated before in this review, the team behind Divi and Extra have also generated quite a few high-quality WordPress plugins. By linking Elegant Themes on each the mid-level $89 Developer plan or the top grade $249 Lifetime Access program, you get access to all these plugins.
Being able to email your viewers every time you publish a new article, launch a product, or possess some other significant statement to make has many added benefits.

More than 20 social networks have been supported, and you may display the buttons in five different places — including on pictures and videos.As well as displaying floating, always-visible sharing buttons, Monarch allows you to pick from a range of trigger-activated buttons.

With such a large userbase, it is not surprising that a sizable ecosystem and community has built up around Elegant Themes and its goods. There are now a number of busy Facebook groups, marketplaces selling child themes, and blogs dedicated to Divi. The Elegant Themes site is one of the busiest WordPress blogs. As well as publishing suggestions and suggestions for web designers and WordPress users, the site frequently shares brand new page designs and other extras for Divi users. There’s also the Divi Nation Podcast for news and interviews with Divi users.
Several years before, Elegant Topics had a small reputation for providing less-than-stellar service to their customers. After looking into this and being a happy customer for a little while now, I am very happy to report that Elegant Themes seem to have resolved any issues that there may have been.Their flagship products are often upgraded and enhanced, and also the online documentation for their themes and plugins is extensive, such as walkthrough text and videos. Those with an active Elegant Themes account can open a service ticket by submitting a question in the support forums.In addition to a General Questions sub-forum, each Elegant Themes product has its own active sub-forum. The Elegant Topics support forums are staffed by a team of tech support representatives, who, in my experience, respond to questions quickly and helpfully.

Redundancy – just the word can strike fear into the heart of everyone who relies on their income to pay their bills each month.
But it’s more than the threat of financial ruin – for many people their “steady” job is part of their identity and losing that security really pulls the rug out from under their feet and leaves them reeling.
Just over three years ago now, I was in that very position. I was happily working as deputy news editor at the local newspapers in my home town when the threat of a major restructure loomed.
But, as it turned out, taking voluntary redundancy was probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
My story was recently featured in an article in Reader’s Digest along with two other women who believe redundancy changed their lives for their better.
This is just my part of it, but you can find the complete article here.

How to stop biting your nails is not as effortless as simply deciding to stop. You have become dependent on this stress reliever. You are addicted to it in much the same way a smoker is addicted to cigarettes.
Hypnosis and NLP have been the methods of choice for eliminating anxiety, stress, and their related symptoms for generations. Learn how nail-biters who have employed these modalities have been very successful at overcoming the nail-biting habit.

In accordance with IFRS standards, consolidated net revenue came to €18.6 million and consolidated net income amounted to €8.5 million (a decrease of 13.9%). The new IFRS 15 norm no longer allows for the recognition of performance fees that have not been definitively acquired. In the first half of 2018 this represented €1.6 million of unrecognized fees compared to €2.1 million in the first half of 2017. All of the amounts in the table are presented under IFRS 15 and therefore directly comparable.
The first half of 2018 presented heterogeneous market phases. Following new low activity records in January, the month of February saw a sudden rise in volatility perfectly exploited by the Group's strategies. This rise in volatility lasted a few weeks before falling sharply.
In addition, the context for mergers and acquisitions on listed companies has been negatively impacted by the US geopolitical situation. In general terms, the so-called "low volatility" strategies, which compensated for market inactivity in the first semester of 2017, did not play this role in 2018.
This unfavorable environment for the Group's activities requires constant strategic thinking. The Group has therefore continued to structure the profile of its teams in order to apprehend the increasingly technical issues of the financial industry. The willingness to build new strategies in order to raise more funds also remains one of the Group's priorities to counter this environment.
Didier Ribadeau-Dumas resigned as independent director after nearly more than 20 years. This resignation takes effect on September 21. The Board of Directors and the Group thank him for his faithful and competent support.
The Board of Directors confirms the distribution of €0.20 per share, consistent with the results achieved. Approved by the shareholders' meeting of June 15, 2018, this payment will only be offered in cash and, because of the deduction from the share premium account, will have the tax nature of a repayment of contributions within the meaning of Article 112. 1° of the General Tax Code.
The detachment is scheduled for Tuesday, November 27, 2018 for a payment on Thursday, November 29, 2018.
February 2018 demonstrated the Group's ability to perform in a context of "lively" markets. The first half of 2017 and FY 2018 underlined the current difficulties for the Group to produce above-average performances in the face of exogenous parameters that remained unfavorable to its industry.
Return on equity (ROE), the ratio of net income to shareholder's equity, stood at nearly 5.5% for the first half. The efforts made by the Group make it possible to present satisfactory results.
Dominique Ceolin commented that ".the Group has a clear objective of attaining ROE's above 15% and we intend to continue our efforts by focusing all our expertise on opening up all possible strategic options to counter this permanently unfavorable environment. I am confident in our ability to strengthen the tandem of "attractive performance" and "capital protection" for our clients as I mentioned at our last general meeting".

One of my favorite entrepreneurs, Mari Madden Luangrath (of Foiled Cupcakes in Chicago), pulled this on me. If you find yourself in a circle of people, and conversation has waned, give everyone one to two minutes to talk about what they’ve accomplished recently, with no judgement and tons of celebration. It gives you a better understanding of who that person is, what they do and what gets them excited.
In my experience, mints are great icebreakers. I always have some on hand, in case somebody asks for one. Or, try having one yourself while chatting in a group. Inevitably, someone will notice, become insecure of her breath, kick herself for not bringing any and ask you for one. Next, you’re chatting.

Like the miniskirts and long hair that raised eyebrows in an earlier era, body piercing has emerged as a '90s symbol of teenage rebellion. Pierced cheeks, eyebrows, tongues, navels, and unmentionables are popping up on teenagers across the nation, and the trend shows no signs of ebbing anytime soon.
Parents have complained to lawmakers that they have no say in their fashion-conscious teenagers' decisions to get pierced. Others worry about health risks of piercing--most commonly, treatable skin infections, but also the remote possibility of contracting infectious diseases such as hepatitis or AIDS from unsterilized piercing instruments.
Spurred by these concerns, state legislatures are reining in the trend. More than half of the nation's states have provisions on the books regulating the body-piercing industry, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Oregon, for example, require parental consent for minors seeking to get pierced. Several other states are debating the issue.
"This year was the year for body piercing and tattooing," said Lisa Speissegger, who covers health policy for the NCSL. As the trend spreads, she said, "I expect most legislatures will have looked into this."
Although it is under fire for allegedly misusing state money, the Lawrence, Mass., school district will have its entire $80 million budget for the 1997-1998 school year paid for by the state.
The payment arrangement is the result of the state's 1993 Education Reform Act, which gave a boost in state aid to poorer districts. Lawrence, the only district to be fully funded by the state, is Massachusetts' poorest.
But Education Commissioner Robert V. Antonucci has warned the district to watch its spending, or risk losing its underwriter.
Reports of the 11,650-student district's questionable spending surfaced last fall, and included revelations that reform dollars were being used for $3,000 laptop computers, cut flowers, and bagpipe lessons even as Lawrence High School was being stripped of its accreditation.
In February, Gov. William F. Weld appointed an audit board to investigate how Lawrence and the Bay State's 371 other districts are spending the $1.3 billion each year in additional aid made available by the 1993 law. The state auditor will release a report on school spending later this month.

As fashion enthusiasts and retail-junkies alike, we’re the ones walking down Briggate daily, quizzing the construction men on opening dates and store gossip, causing our excitement levels to bubble. For those of you who don’t know, we’re talking about Trinity- the major shopping centre that’s been brewing behind the back of M&S for years, set for its big unveil on March 21st…AND THAT’S JUST 3 WEEKS AWAY.A £350m development, Trinity is set to bring big business to Leeds. Evolving as a shopping ‘experience’, the 1 million square foot space will be more than just stores. Besides the exciting arrival of Hollister, Apple, Victoria’s Secret and Mango, expect restaurants, food trucks, cocktail bars, a cinema, sculpture, street performers and bounds of interactive technology. That’s a lot to fit in under one giant roof.
Upping the ante on our anticipation levels, last week we were lucky enough to take a tour of the site ‘Site’ being no understatement. Cloaked in high-vis jackets, hard hats and steel-capped boots, we took a peek at the goings-on. Victoria’s Secret is set to be 3 units big, Primark will be 3 storeys high; and Apple and Hollister have both secured pride of place lets. Say hello to late night shopping and goodbye to student loans.
On the upper floor, the Everyman cinema is being luxuriously furnished, whilst across the walkway, the cocktails are already brewing in barrels for The Alchemist’s roof-top bar. Who said Leeds wasn’t classy?
If you’re looking for diversity, Trinity has you covered. Showcasing the best local and national cuisine, Trinity Kitchen takes on a unique approach, with pop-up food traders circulating each month. With a continual indoor-outdoor feel thanks to the glass-roof and wall-free structure, prepare to get your ramen fix with an open-air view, as Wagamama will include an outdoor balcony that lets you look out on to Briggate. Noodles with a view, we like it.
From fast-fashion to Hollister models, to gourmet dining experiences, Trinity is set to reshape the city. March 21st – stick it in your diary, cancel your appointments, book your train back to Leeds- it might be Easter break, but you have to be there.

Two came home with hardware.
The other fell just short, but enjoyed the finest season in program history.
All in all, when you include Falmouth Nick Forester’s boys’ individual title, it was one again a banner tennis season in these parts.
Falmouth’s girls’ squad has worn the bulls-eye for over a decade and this spring, the book on the Yachtsmen was that they might just be vulnerable.
Vulnerable perhaps, but not beatable.
After a 10th straight 12-0 regular season, Falmouth, the top seed in Class A South, downed No. 9 Windham (5-0) and No. 5 Scarborough (4-1) to advance to last Thursday’s regional final against upstart No. 6 seed Portland.
The Yachtsmen would prevail by a 4-1 score. Meredith Kelley lost, 6-7 (3), 2-6, to Lauren Paradise at first singles, but Sara Fallon won her second singles match, 4-6, 6-3, 1-0 (8), Alston Armstrong took her third singles match, 6-1, 6-1, and Falmouth’s first doubles of team of Grace Dimick and Maddy Joyce (6-1, 6-2) and the second doubles tandem of Emma Cohen and Sydney Pearl (6-2, 6-3) prevailed as well.
The state match against Lewiston would be much tougher.
Armstrong took care of business at third singles, winning 6-0, 6-2, and Dimick and Joyce finished undefeated on the season at first doubles, winning, 7-5, 7-5, but Fallon lost, 4-6, 4-6, to Julia Svor at second singles and at second doubles, Cohen and Pearl lost, 5-7, 6-3, 3-6, to Amy Sperandio and Jill Pelletier, putting the state match and Falmouth’s win streak in the hands of Kelley at first singles.
Kelley dropped the first set to Abby Svor, 1-6, but Kelley rose to the occasion, winning the second set, 6-2, and the third, 6-1, to give the Yachtsmen (16-0) the match, 3-2, their fifth straight Class A state title, their 11th consecutive crown overall, their 44th straight postseason win (the last loss was a 4-1 Western B semifinal round loss to York June 2, 2007) and their 173rd match victory, leaving a 3-2 setback to Waynflete May 2, 2008 as its most recent.
Falmouth’s boys, meanwhile, also went 16-0 and won the championship, albeit with a little less stress.
The Yachtsmen, ranked first in Class A South, downed No. 8 Gorham, 5-0, in the quarterfinals and knocked out fifth-seed Thornton Academy, 5-0, in the semifinals, to set up a regional final round date against No. 2 Portland last Thursday.
Falmouth got decisive wins from Forester at first singles (6-0, 6-1), Alex Klemperer at No. 2 singles (6-1, 6-2) and Matthew Ray at third singles (6-1, 6-1), while Matt Adamowicz and Calvin Spencer won at first doubles (6-0, 6-3) and Jake Leavitt and Nick Shapiro eked out a 6-3, 3-6, 1-0 (10) victory at second doubles.
Falmouth then won its fourth Class A crown in five seasons and 11th championship overall, 5-0, over Camden Hills in Saturday’s state final match.
Forester rolled at first singles, 6-1, 6-0. At second singles, Klemperer won by a 6-0, 6-4 score and at third singles, Ray won, 6-3, 6-3.
Adamowicz and Spencer were pushed at first singles, winning, 7-6 (2) and 6-3. Leavitt and Shapiro had to go to a tiebreaker as well, but won at second singles, 7-5, 7-6 (4).
Freeport’s boys’ squad entered the season having never advanced past the Class B South semifinals and having not won 10 or more games in a season since 2006.
This spring, the Falcons raised the bar to an unprecedented level.
Freeport went 9-3 in the regular season and as the number two seed in Class B South, ousted No. 7 York (5-0) in the quarterfinals and third-ranked Yarmouth (4-1) in the semifinals to get to the regional final, its first appearance in that round at any level since the 2001 Western C Final, where it met and eliminated perennial powerhouse Cape Elizabeth, the No. 5 seed, 4-1.
Wes Goodwin won, 6-0, 6-0, at first singles, Clay Canterbury was a 6-1, 6-0, winner at second singles, Liam Gould took a 6-2, 6-2 victory at third singles and Aaron Rusiecki and Sullivan Smith prevailed, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Evan McKittrick and TJ Whelan lost at second doubles, 6-1, 4-6, 5-7, but the Falcons still made history.
That win sent the Falcons to Lewiston for the Class B state final Saturday against undefeated Caribou, which had just enough to beat the Falcons, 3-2, and end their season at 12-4.
Goodwin won, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 10-6, at first singles and Canterbury was a 6-1, 6-2 winner at second singles, but Gould lost, 3-6, 3-6, to Gabe Rand at third singles, Rusiecki and Smith fell, 6-7 (7), 3-6, to Bailey Griffeth and Sawyer Deprey at first doubles and McKittrick and Whelan lost, 2-6, 5-7, to Emerson Duplissie-Cyr and Seth Biedelman at No. 2 doubles.
“A lot of the play came down to that first set, with my first doubles having several chances to win that set before falling in a tiebreaker, and the other team had momentum and really capitalized,” Freeport coach Jay Harper said. “Then at three, Gould played someone similar to him, and that was a tough loss. We were hoping for someone to turn it around and get us to a third set. Caribou was just better than us today.

The 1960 Abarth 1000 Bialbero speed record car "La Principessa."
Looking like something Marvin the Martian would drive, this 1960 Abarth 1000 Bialbero speed record car will cross the auction block at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours de'Elegance in August.
Gooding & Co, the auction house, is not releasing a pre-sale estimate for this one-of-a-kind speed machine, but it will likely do well in a room filled with some of the most devout car collectors in the world.
Named "La Principessa," (or "The Princess") the car was designed for Abarth by legendary coach-builder Pinin Farina — now best known for their long-time partnership with Ferrari — and shaped in the wind tunnel at the Turin Polytechnic University in Italy.
The goal: to break the world record for the highest speed maintained for the longest amount of time.
After it premiered at the Turin Motor show in 1960, it set a total of nine world records, according to the auction house, including 10,000 km at an average of 118.7 mph and 72 continuous hours at 116 mph.
The unique machine is original, unrestored, and has never been publicly sold.
The car was designed by Pinin Farina using a local university's wind tunnel.
... the result was a drag coefficient of just 0.20 — compare that to the 0.24 mustered by the Tesla model S, one of the slipperiest cars available today and the result of another 55 years of aerodynamic advancement.
... "La Principessa" would slice its way to nine world speed records.
Completely unrestored and original, the car will make a wonderful, one of a kind addition to someone's collection. Though for a likely six-figure price tag they will only get half a steering wheel.

Thy advantage in thy travels is great over what it hath been; the Lord having given thee a better sight both of thy enemies, and of that wherein his strength against them is revealed.
Now what remains but that thou hope in him, and breathe unto him, and hang upon him; that his virtue may flow into thee, and the mountains and difficulties may pass away, before the presence of the Seed, who is revealed in thee? Look down no more, look out no more; but dwell with thy beloved, in the tent that he hath pitched for thee. Let him do what he will, let him appear how he will, wait on him in the daily exercise; stand still in the faith, and see him working out thy salvation, and scattering the bones of them that have besieged thee. Think not hardly of him by no means; question not his carrying on of his work. He knows what yet he hath to do, and what stratagem the enemy yet hath to surprise and entangle thee. Oh feel his arm stretched out for thee! and be not so much discouraged, in the sight of what is yet to be done, as comforted in his good-will towards thee. 'Tis true, he hath chastened thee with rods and sore afflictions; but did he ever take away his loving kindness from thee? or did his faithfulness ever fail in the sorest, blackest, thickest, darkest, night that ever befell thee? And breathe to him, for the carrying on of his work; that thou mayst feel his presence and life, getting dominion over death daily in thee, more and more. And wait to feel strength of life, that thy growth may be pure, and the holy seed may have dominion and be all in thee.
The enemy will be laying snares, and forging subtle devices to darken and bow thee down, which (thou, not being hasty to believe, join with, and let in as true, but waiting on the Lord in singleness, fear, and humility), his light will spring up in thee, and help thee to discern. And oh! how sweet will it be for thee, who hast so often been ensnared, to escape the gins and nets of the fowler, and to dwell in the rest and peace, which thy soul hath tasted of, and which is the proper place of thy habitation.
Indeed, the Lord's thoughts have not been towards thee, as thou hast apprehended all along. His anger was towards the enemy, towards the oppressor, not towards thee. Nor doth he judge and smite the mind, after that manner that the enemy doth accuse; but according to his own nature, sweetness, and tender love. And his judgments and smitings have other effects, than the serpent's accusings and piercings; for they do not drive from him, but they melt, and tender and prepare the heart for union with him. Oh! keep close to the measure of life, wherein thou mayst discern and distinguish these things; and take heed of letting in one bowing-down thought (how manifest or demonstrative soever), but look up to him who hath freely loved, and hath abounded in mercy towards thee; that in the faith, patience, stillness, and meekness of his seed, thou mayst be found always waiting upon him, in the several exercises, wherewith he shall daily see good to exercise thee; till he bring forth his seed in dominion in thee, and thereby give thee thy desired and expected end.

Mounted on a split trail, the gun was usually towed by half-track but was light enough to be manhandled into position with the aid of a third wheel fitted to the spade piece of the trail. Fitted with a gun shield to provide protection for the crew, the gun was capable of firing both Armor Piercing and High Explosive rounds.
In the hands of the highly motivated and experienced men of the Waffen-SS, the 5cm PaK38 provides a deterrent to enemy tanks in the absence of the Panzers.

I love discovering history through the eyes of the people who lived it so I know I'll enjoy this book. Thanks for being on the tour.
Glad you enjoyed this one more than I dd. I got bogged down when it came to the dressmaking details, kind of took me out of the flow of the book. I was surprised to find out that Keckley was a real person.

You're hungry and with no energy for cooking? Come to our kitchen, running on gifted ingredients offering delicious meals at least once per day, served in a dadaistic diner. A dry seat and a hot meal from creative cooking for all borderlings.
We’ll be building a diner with a cozy atmosphere, a 1920’s vibe and a dadaistic touch, 4x4 meters with a see through roof lit up by light installations. Next to the diner we’ll have a kitchen to prepare meals from the ingredients brought by hungry, but not so eager to cook, Borderlings. The kitchen will consist of a gas fire wok and a charcoal barbeque and we will also bring base ingredients such as spices and oils. We will of course also build structures for handling wash up and trash and create solid routines. At least once a day we will be cooking delicious and creative meals for anyone who wants to be a guest at our diner. There might also be some dadistic poetry served to our guests while waiting for their supper.
A group of warmhearted free spirits with a profound passion for cooking.
Everyone who wants to bring their leftovers are very welcome!
We could definitly co-create with the "Leave no food behind"-dream.
Will there be light? The diner will be nicely lit up with light strips and light installations.
Will anything BURN? We'll have a barbecue and a gas burner for cooking. We'll have a fire extinguisher at hand at all times.
What is your audio footprint? A dadaistic babbling will probably be heard from the diner at times, as well as perhaps some nice 20’s jazz.

On the third day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2017, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) hosted several side events on forest landscape restoration in their pavilion at the Bonn zone.
GCE students attending the IUCN side event.
An analysis conducted by the IUCN and Climate Focus revealed that only 8 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) have unconditional concrete targets related to the forest sector, although 77% of the NDCs mention the importance of forests to achieve the Paris Agreement target. As stated in the sessions, mangrove restoration, reforestation, afforestation and agro-forestry, among others, have the potential to reduce atmospheric carbon concentrations. Nevertheless, pledges made under the Bonn challenge remain unconnected to the NDCs of each country and metrics are heterogeneous. Some national targets are measured in sequestrated tones of carbon, others in hectares of forest conversion. Emphasis is put on the various numbers of advantages to be gained from forest restoration, for example increased resilience to climate change, provision of water and biodiversity conservation.
An evening reception was accompanied by high-level keynote speakers, including the State Secretary of the German Ministry for Environment, the Deputy Minister of the Mahaweli Ministry for Development and Environment and the IUCN Bonn Challenge Ambassador. They reported on the journey of the Bonn challenge and proudly announced that the 2020 goal of restoring 150 Mio. hectares of forests was achieved already this year, according to promises given by participating nations.
As an important feature of the Bonn challenge ecological integrity, carbon sequestration and the needs of local communities are taken into account at the same time.
After studying Geography in my Bachelors, I am within the Global Change Ecology program since 2015. My focus of interest is nature conservation, remote sensing and human-environment interactions. Therefore, I have specialized in the interface between social and natural sciences.

The McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, formed by Cyrus Hall McCormick, merged with several other manufacturers and formed the International Harvester Co. They were primarily known for the production of harvesting equipment. They began experimenting with tractors around 1905. These tractors were huge, powerful and clumsy and although they were useful for large areas, they did not work well for the small acreage farmer.
Their first attempt at a smaller tractor was the Mogul 8-16 and was a big hit. International Harvester continued to refine their small tractor line with several follow-on models. The famous letter series tractors, including the A, B, H and M begain production in 1939.

FRISCO, Texas – Here’s all you need to know about December football.
It’s a division game, and it’s the next game.
beating New Orleans wasn’t viewed as much a statement as just another step.
There was an interesting vibe when the Cowboys’ locker room opened to the media after that game. Kind of subdued, to be honest.
That’s not the sound of a satisfied team. That’s a group who felt the sting of 3-5, with everyone counting them out.
Fortunes turn very quickly in this league. Just look at the Washington Redskins’ dive from first place to three straight losses while losing their top two quarterbacks.
The Eagles (6-6) come to AT&T Stadium next, down a game in the division standings despite winning back-to-back games for the first time this season. The Cowboys were in that position four weeks ago at the Linc, where their four-game win streak started. They’ll take nothing for granted.
no one benefited more from this mini-bye than Ezekiel Elliott.
Few jobs in this league take a larger physical toll than a featured running back. This season, Elliott has averaged 24.4 touches per game – 240 carries and 53 catches. In the last three games against Atlanta, Washington and New Orleans, he got roughly the same workload –24.7 touches per game (72 carries and 2 catches) – packed into an 11-day stretch.
Plus, there’s this: Elliott ran the ball at least 20 times (23, 26, 23) in three straight games for only the second time this season. Prior to the Thanksgiving stretch, he’d only gotten 20-plus carries in three of the first nine games.
Elliott wants the ball. He knows that in many ways, he’s the engine for this offense. But he also dealt with a little hip soreness last week before the Saints game, according to head coach Jason Garrett.
The Cowboys get back to practice Wednesday, six days after the Saints game. That can only help Zeke.
who would’ve picked the Cowboys to beat New Orleans knowing the offense would convert only 1 of 4 chances inside the 20-yard line.
Actually, the total was 1 of 5, but I’m not counting the victory formation in the final 1:58 after Jourdan Lewis’ interception.
As well as the offense has played during this four-game stretch, the red zone looks like the biggest area for improvement. For the season, the Cowboys rank 26th in red zone efficiency, scoring touchdowns on 48.7 percent of their trips inside the opponents’ 20. (By comparison, Pittsburgh leads the league at 77.8 percent.) The percentage didn’t improve dramatically during these four straight wins, either (7 of 13, or 53.8 percent).
Going deeper, the Cowboys rank 31st in goal-to-go situations, scoring touchdowns only 52.6 percent of the time. They’re 4 of 9 in the last four games, including a missed opportunity inside the Saints’ 5.
Fans have griped about the play-call choices in some of these spots – specifically, passing instead of handing the ball to Elliott. Devil’s advocate: Noah Brown and Cole Beasley were wide open in the end zone against Washington and Atlanta, respectively, but the passes fell incomplete.
It’s less of an issue when the Dallas defense is playing at an elite level, and the Eagles have had their own problems in the red zone at times, too. They rank 19th (55.8 percent) and were 3 of 5 Monday against Washington, coming up empty twice due to an interception and turnover on downs.
One of many keys to watch in the next biggest game of the season this Sunday.

For more than 30 years David Livingstone worked in Africa as a medical missionary and travelled the continent from the equator to the Cape and from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. In so doing, he gained worldwide fame as an explorer and strongly influenced the way successive generations have thought about Africa. By awakening the interest of the outside world in the then largely unknown continent, he helped pave the way for its European colonization later in the 19th century. Also, through his strong belief that Africans could advance into the modern world, he served as an inspiration for African nationalism.
David Livingstone was born in Blantyre, Scotland, on March 19, 1813. One of seven children of a very poor family, he was already working in a cotton mill by the time he was 10. The little education he received came largely through his own efforts and from the determination of his parents, strict Calvinists who believed in hard work and schooling.
In 1834 he heard about an appeal by British and American churches for medical missionaries to go to China. He decided this should be his career, and for two years while continuing to work part-time, he studied theology and medicine. In 1838 he was accepted by the London Missionary Society but was prevented from going to China by the Opium War. A subsequent meeting with Robert Moffat, the noted missionary to southern Africa, convinced Livingstone that he should take up his work in Africa.
He arrived in Cape Town on March 14, 1841. From the moment he arrived, Livingstone determined to become an explorer to help open up the continent for Christianity and Western civilization. His career can be divided into four fairly distinct phases: the early missionary explorations in the years from 1841 to 1849, during which he traveled to the Transvaal and into the Kalahari region; the expedition from 1850 to 1856 that took him to Luanda on the west coast and to Quelimane on the east coat; the explorations along the Zambezi River from 1858 to 1864; and his determined, but unsuccessful, search for the source of the Nile River from 1866 to 1873.
By mid-1842 he had travelled north into the Kalahari territory, farther than any European had ventured. He established a mission at Mabotsa in 1844. He married Moffat’s daughter, Mary, and she accompanied him on his travels until 1852, when she and their four children returned to Britain because of her health and the children’s needs for security and education.
During his first decade in Africa, Livingstone gained his first measure of fame when he assisted in the discovery of Lake Ngami on Aug. 1, 1849. For this he was awarded a gold medal and a monetary prize by the British Royal Geographical Society.
With his family safely in Scotland, Livingstone was able to set out on his second major journey in November 1853. His first goal was to reach the Atlantic coast to open up an avenue of commerce. He arrived at Luanda, on the Atlantic coast, on May 31, 1854. Four months later he began the return trip, exploring the Zambezi River region along the way. On May 20, 1856, he arrived at Quelimane, on the east coast, in Mozambique. The most spectacular result of this trip was the discovery and naming of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi on Nov. 17, 1855.
For his accomplishments he was received as a national hero when he returned to England in December 1856. He published a book, `Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa’ in 1857 and spent six months on a speaking tour in the British Isles. His speeches at Cambridge were published as `Dr. Livingstone’s Cambridge Lectures’ in 1858. Back in Africa early in 1858, Livingstone began extensive explorations of the Zambezi region. On this journey his wife died, in April 1862. The explorations were not successful from a commercial point of view, so the expedition was recalled by the British government.
Livingstone’s last great venture was his attempt to locate the source of the Nile. This quest, fraught with hardships and dissension among his staff, left him broken in health and–at one point–given up for dead. Henry Morton Stanley, a correspondent for the New York Herald, found him in Ujiji on Oct. 23, 1871, and provided him with food and medicine.
Together they explored the area northeast of Lake Tanganyika. Stanley returned to England in March 1872, but Livingstone refused to accompany him. On May 1, 1873, his servants found him dead in a village in what is now Zambia. His body was taken to England and buried in Westminster Abbey on April 18, 1874. Later that year `The Last Journals of David Livingstone’ were published.
My daughter is for her history homework researching a famous Victorian and she chose David Livingstone.
How I wish such inspirational stories were heard more in our world of today- this story should be told and retold again and again!
