The Missoula Independent gave the North Fork Watershed Protection Act some attention this week . . .
Earlier this month, the U.S. House passed the North Fork Watershed Protection Act in what conservationists hailed as a critical step for wildlife and clean water in northwest Montana. That approval, secured by Rep. Steve Daines, marks the most significant advancement yet in a fight former Sen. Max Baucus waged over four decades in Congress.
The moment itself passed quickly, in a manner typically used to approve small, non-controversial bills. The measure’s speedy passage on the House floor was attributed to the widespread bipartisan support it has gained over time. Proponents now include county commissions, city officials, chambers of commerce, sporting groups and business leaders across western Montana. Chevron, ConocoPhillips, BP America and ExxonMobil subsidiary XTO Energy have backed the bill as well.

The museum is housed in the Fung Ping Shan Building and the lower three storeys of the T T Tsui Building. The Fung Ping Shan Building was donated to The University of Hong Kong by Mr Fung Ping-shan in 1932 for a Chinese book library. In 1953, the building was converted into the Fung Ping Shan Museum of Chinese art and archaeology. With its extension to the T T Tsui Building in 1996, the Museum changed its title to the "University Museum and Art Gallery".
The new wing of the Museum was built with a generous donation by Dr T T Tsui, and was officially opened in November 1996. Since its inception in 1953, the UMAG has received continuous support from donors, artists, collectors and the University. Its collections have grown to over one thousand and eighty items of Chinese antiquities, notably bronzes, ceramics and paintings.
The University Museum and Art Gallery aspires to generate artistic and cultural experiences that are accessible to people in all walks of life. We seek to encourage greater appreciation of the arts and nurture a stronger sense of cultural values within the Hong Kong community. Through our collection and activities, we are dedicated to educating the public about the past and present of Chinese and other cultures, and to stimulating life-long learning through both formal and informal education.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are increasingly popular since they provide the best and most reliable unbiased analysis of the existing evidence, which is essential for evidence-based clinical practice. Different approaches and techniques are commonly used to generate this evidence. Understanding the benefits and limitations of these techniques is essential when interpreting the results of a meta-analysis. Riley et al. published an important methodological article in the British Medical Journal  that precisely explained two important approaches used in meta-analyses: the fixed effects and random effects models, and when each should be used. They also introduced the concept of the prediction interval (PI) which will be increasingly used in meta-analyses studies. They explained the difference between the confidence interval (CI) and the PI and their applications and interpretations in evidence-based clinical practice. They explained why a PI could provide a more complete summary of the clinical implications of the findings of a meta-analysis that is generally provided by a CI. In meta-analyses, fixed effects models assume that the true effect of treatment for each study included in the meta-analysis is the same or fixed. In other words, there is no between-study difference or heterogeneity in the true treatment effect (assessed by a statistical analysis called the I2) . The differences seen between studies in a fixed effect model are due to random or chance variations in sampling, such that if all studies had a large (infinite) sample size, the differences in study estimates would vanish. On the other hand, the random effects models allow for real differences (heterogeneity) in the treatment effect from study to study. So, the observed estimates of treatment effect can vary between studies because of real differences due to both random and non-random variation. Sources of heterogeneity could include differences in study populations (e.g. age of patients), interventions received (e.g. dose of drug), follow-up length etc. as well as sample size [1, 3]. In meta-analyses, when data are pooled and analysed using random effects models, it is standard to report a CI around the effect estimate. However, when heterogeneity is large, some authors have proposed reporting a PI along with a CI to have a better appreciation of the uncertainty around the effect estimate [1, 4]. The PI, used in this way, is a relatively new concept. The CI and PI are not the same thing. A CI is a range of values, which indicates the degree of uncertainty about a population parameter, for example, the mean blood pressure of a population. A PI, on the other hand, is the interval within which you would expect a future mean value of blood pressure to fall in a new research study.
Putting theory into practice
Our recent systematic review with meta-analyses of 46 reports from 36 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed that the effect of testosterone therapy improved a range of sexual function parameters in postmenopausal women . For the sexual desire outcome, in 15 studies that included 3,762 postmenopausal women, we used a random effects meta-analysis as discussed above. This approach assumed that there may be both random and non-random variations (heterogeneity) across the studies that may influence the outcome of interest (sexual desire). In addition, we computed the 95% CI and the 95% PI for the effect estimate of testosterone therapy on sexual desire. The random effects meta-analysis showed that testosterone therapy was effective for improving sexual desire in postmenopausal women when using 95% CI (SMD 0·36, 95% CI 0·22 to 0·50). However, the I2 value for the pooled estimate of sexual desire was 69%, which indicated moderately high heterogeneity between the included studies. So, in order to estimate the potential effects of testosterone on sexual desire in future individual studies, the 95% PI was also estimated. We observed that the PI was much wider than the CI and included zero (SMD 0·36, 95% PI -0.12 to 0.84). This means that although on average the effect of testosterone for the completed studies is positive for sexual desire, a future study may not have a treatment effect, which is different from zero (no difference between treatment and placebo). It is critical to realize that CI and PI convey different but complementary information.

Toronto Star column – published February 28, 2015
The snow was up to my knees: so much the better for reaching the tallest branches. Last weekend I pruned my apple trees. I have over 50 of them in my 10-acre garden. It sounds like a lot but they are under 10 years old so they still have lots of time to grow.
You may be thinking that the gardening season is a long way off. Or you are just not thinking (of gardening) at all. Well, for those of us keeners, here are some reminders:
Reminder #1: This is the perfect time of year to prune fruit trees. Standing on the deep snow is only one reason why this is a good idea. Most fruiting trees, apples in particular, enjoy a trim while they are dormant. When the sap begins to flow in April, the newly trimmed trees will produce more and better quality fruit if they’ve had a winter pruning. It is a counter-intuitive thing. The more you cut off the more fruit you get. Until you cut too much.
There is the rub (and why you need me): more domestic tensions are created around the issue of tree and shrub pruning than most anything. Naming your kids and deciding where to send them to school is quite easy by comparison. Pruning is up there with wallpaper hanging for stress-induction among otherwise happy couples. The answer about ‘how much’ to remove is up to (but no more than) one third of the existing branches. If you have never pruned your tree and it is reasonably mature, a third would be ok. I prune out about 20% each winter.
The goals in pruning an apple, plum or peach tree are twofold:
1. Open up the top of the tree to allow sun to filter in to ripen the fruit evenly.
2. Remove lateral branches in an effort to encourage air and wind to circulate through the tree to minimize disease and insect infestations. Yes, a breezy day is your friend in the fruit business.
Reminder #2: Perhaps this is the year that you start your tomatoes from seed rather than waiting for the transplants to arrive at your local retailer this May. Good for you! You will save money and (more to the point) you will have a much broader selection of varieties to choose from at the seed racks or through seed catalogues.
The great Canadian seed house, McKenzie, in Brandon Manitoba, reminds us that you can indeed save a lot of money when you grow veggies from seed. Here is a summary of the math:
From one packet of seeds you can harvest up to 30 lbs of tomatoes. Cost for seeds: $1.99 (or less).
Cost for equivalent volume of tomatoes at the farmers market or super market: $1.30/lb or $39.
Savings: $37 (minus the costs of soil, fertilizer and a pot, if you don’t have a garden).
This is an oversimplified calculation, of course, but the savings are much greater for peppers and peas and about the same for lettuce and cucumbers.
If you factor in the ‘value’ of your time, you have missed the point. The experience of growing your own is so rich that the payback is precisely that: the satisfaction that comes from the experience. If you don’t get that, please move on to the next point of my article.
Value of Gardens
Reminder #3: In the U.K. the National Ecosystem Assessment found that pollinators such as honeybees are worth over $800 million to the British economy. According to The Garden magazine, rare wetland habitats contribute over $2.5 billion annually to water quality.
Furthermore, they concluded that access to a public park is valued at $500 per person each year by contributing to positive mental and physical health.
Accounts will be kept of ‘natural capital’ alongside Gross National Product to put the environment at the heart of the discussion and government accounting. A Natural Capital Committee monitors the country’s natural assets and suggests how to increase benefits.
‘Bout time, if you ask me. Now, how about Canada doing the same?
Reminder #4: Feeling a little bit draggy? February blues got you down? Now is a great time of year to grow your own sprouts. It is easy, fun, the kids get a big kick out of it as they grow soooo fast, and they are good for you. You might even get some energy back. All you need is a couple of mason jars and bean seeds, which you can buy at your local market.
Alfalfa sprouts are ready for harvest in 5 days; buckwheat in 3.
To grow your own, soak the seeds in water over night, place them in fresh potting soil or peat moss (pre moistened) and remove the sprouts as they grow using a pair of clean kitchen scissors, leaving the roots and soil behind. These are called seedling sprouts.
You can grow sprouts using just water (hydroponically) using a mason jar, cheese cloth and clean water. Soak the seeds in the mason jar overnight, drain the water through the cheesecloth and lay the jar on its side in the sunshine. Repeat 2 to 3 times a day until you have edible sprouts. Details in my weekly blog at www.markcullen.com.
If this is so easy, entertaining and good for us, why aren’t we all doing it?
Canada Blooms March 13th to 22nd
Reminder #5: Canada Blooms. My gardening buddy, Denis Flanagan, reminds me that there are only 13 more sleeps till the first day of the biggest garden festival in the land: Canada Blooms.
The theme this year is ‘Let’s Play’. The landscape designers and architects that have been planning the 20 feature gardens for this year’s event have been having a lot of fun, to say the least. Look for the new edition of the Bienenstock garden which is always a favourite.
I will be there on opening day (Friday the 13th of March – it will be a lucky one this year!) and the following day, plus Monday and Tuesday. Denis and I open the festival with an overview and some sage advice from the oldest of the pair (guess who) to wear flat-soled shoes as there is much walking involved, plan your day by visiting the Canada Blooms website (www.canadablooms.com) before you arrive , bring your camera, a small notebook, and all of your friends.
The festival is located at the Direct Energy Centre at Exhibition Place and it occurs in conjunction with the National Home Show, which is now owned and operated by BILD. This is an exciting time for both organisations and I am confident that it will be a great show. Your ticket to one event gets you into both.
The ‘garden’ portion has been moved to the north half of the building where garden builders have more control over the lighting. This will intensify the natural experience for visitors, providing more fragrance and a better view of the professionally designed gardens. Look for the Canada Blooms portion of the event by walking straight north as you enter the building. There is an alley marked with gorgeous palm trees to show you the way.
The Marketplace is your best opportunity to learn about garden design and plant trends and to get revved up for the season that is just ahead.
And finally, of all the junk e-mails that I receive from well-intended friends, this one struck me as funny. Titled, “Why Teachers Drink” it included the following:
On a test question, “Where was Hadrian’s Wall built?” one youngster answered, “Around Hadrian’s garden.”
These are gentle reminders, dear readers. It may be the last day of February but it is the best day to look ahead and plan your gardening calendar.

ANT-B10 – Bluetooth indoor positioning antenna board
We are proud to introduce ANT-B10, a self-contained Bluetooth low energy antenna board for high precision indoor positioning. Designed for integration into commercial end-products, the board enables low power, high precision indoor positioning and speeds up evaluation, testing, and commercialization of Bluetooth direction finding and indoor positioning solutions.
Built around the u-blox NINA-B411 Bluetooth 5.1 module, ANT-B10 features an antenna array comprising eight individual patch antennas. After processing incoming RF signals emitted by mobile tracker tags in the module’s radio and angle calculation processor, the solution outputs the calculated angle of arrival without requiring any additional processes.
Together with ANT-B10, we are releasing the XPLR-AOA-3 explorer kit. It features an application board that offers a quick and easy way to evaluate and test the ANT-B10 antenna board, as well as u-blox’s direction finding algorithm, u-connectLocate. An off-the-shelf pin header on the application board allows for easy bring-up and testing of ANT-B10 and third-party antenna boards. Connecting the two boards generates a ready-to-use AoA indoor positioning anchor point in seconds.
ANT-B10 and XPLR-AOA-3 complement the existing u-blox indoor positioning offering, which includes the XPLR-AOA-1 and XPLR-AOA-2 kits.
Common use cases for Bluetooth indoor positioning and direction finding include tracking assets in industrial settings such as in warehouses as well as people and things in hospitals, retail environments, or museums. Additionally, access control systems deployed in connected buildings can use angle detection to determine which side of a door users are located on.
The ANT-B10 boards are available today – sampling of ANT-B10 has already begun.

A presentation of the Correspondance d’Isabelle de Charrière / Brieven van Belle van Zuylen took place on Saturday, 26 October at the Utrecht Archives (Het Utrechts Archief). The novelist, essayist, and composer known within the Netherlands as Belle van Zuylen and elsewhere as Isabelle de Charrière (1740–1805) is regarded today as a leading light in the Utrecht literary canon. This reputation is due in no small measure to van Zuylen/de Charrière’s correspondence of which approximately 2,600 letters, written in French, survive.
With different sections of the correspondence available hitherto only in Dutch, English, or Japanese translation, and with interest in the writer generating Wikipedia pages in no less than twenty-five different languages, a project team at the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands [KNAW] has come together under the direction of Suzan van Dijk (Huygens ING) and Madeleine van Strien-Chardonneau (Leiden University) to digitize the surviving correspondence. This project has set out to publish a complete digital edition of the letters, and intends to mount transcriptions of the original French alongside manuscript images as well as, in the fullness of time, to add translations.
Over the past couple of years, members of the Belle van Zuylen Association have been working in eLaborate, a tool developed at HuygensING, to create transcriptions. Taking as their starting point the authoritative print edition (Oeuvres complètes, edited by Van Oorschot and published in 1979–84), spellings have been standardized, the layout adapted, and the text annotated. The transcriptions are scheduled to be released online incrementally, and the event at the Utrecht Archives celebrated the release of the first batch of 199 letters, the manuscripts of which reside in the care of archives and libraries in the Netherlands—the National Archives, the Dutch National Library, and Museum of Dutch Literature (The Hague), Archives of the Province of Gelderland (Arnhem), and the Utrecht Archives.
The event included a symposium at which Belle van Zuylen/Isabelle de Charrière, her work, and her importance within the field of cultural history, as well as her subsequent reputation and legacy, were discussed. Kaj van Vliet (archivist, Utrecht Archives) considered the roles played by both van Zuylen/de Charrière and her seventeenth-century predecessor Anna Maria van Schurman with reference to the new exhibition currently on display in the same building. Suzan van Dijk examined the writer’s oft-quoted words: ‘Je n’ai pas les talents subalternes’ (I have no talent for subordination), and revealed that in the letters she had studied in the Dutch archives (the majority of which are addressed to members of van Zuylen’s Dutch aristocratic family) this characteristic was not on display, a fact which reveals an infinitely more interesting and complex personality. Kees van Strien, who has just brought out his latest book Belle van Zuylen. Een leven in Holland (Belle van Zuylen: A life in Holland), spoke about Gijsbert Jan van Hardenbroek, a member of an influential Utrecht family, as well as several of his friends and contemporaries. The private documents of this circle are housed today at the Utrecht Archives, and were published by Van Strien in 2005; on the basis of these letters and diaries, Van Strien considers Hardenbroek as having lost his heart to Van Zuylen and fallen ‘victim to Cupid’. Dirk van Miert (director of the SKILLNET project at Utrecht University) presented the writer as a citizen of the eighteenth-century Republic of Letters, comparing her to Dutch female contemporaries Hyleke Gockinga and Etta Palm: Gockinga was seen as a ‘second Schurman’ on account of her linguistic skills; Palm corresponded with a number of politicians belonging to Van Zuylen’s extended circle, and the two women are likely to have encountered each other in Paris, where Van Zuylen/de Charrière became aware of Palm’s reputation, refering to her as ‘cette intrigante hollandaise’. Josephine Rombouts (author of Cliffrock Castle) recalled the strong impression made upon her (at the age of nineteen when she moved from home to begin university) by Belle van Zuylen, and the opening sentences of the first letter sent by Van Zuylen to D’Hermenches were central in her talk.
The digital edition Correspondance d’Isabelle de Charrière/Brieven van Belle van Zuylen is being released as a ‘work-in-progress’. Letters from the Dutch archives constitute only a small percentage of Van Zuylen/de Charrière’s surviving correspondence, and the focus at this point is to complete the considerable work conducted already on the letters to be found in the Swiss archives. In due course an inventory of the letters will be added to Early Modern Letters Online where it will be searchable both as part of Women’s Early Modern Letters Online and within the entire union catalogue. For those with a particular interest in early modern women’s writing, or in French literature, the Correspondance d’Isabelle de Charrière / Brieven van Belle van Zuylen project is keen to involve additional volunteers, and anyone interested in making a contribution is welcome to contact Suzan van Dijk (email@example.com) or Madeleine van Strien-Chardonneau (firstname.lastname@example.org).


IndyGo to Reveal Major Route ChangesPosted: Updated:
Indianapolis' public transportation system will hold multiple open houses to detail system-wide route changes scheduled to take effect next year. IndyGo Chief Executive Officer Mike Terry says the plan will result in "more streamlined and frequent routing."
October 29, 2014
Indianapolis, Ind. -- On Wednesday and Thursday, IndyGo invites the public to attend several open houses which will reveal system-wide route changes set to take place when the new Downtown Transit Center opens in late 2015.
"The route changes we're proposing are part of the IndyGo Forward planning initiative we began in September," said Mike Terry, IndyGo president and CEO. "We received quite a bit of input from stakeholders and the public urging us to work towards a high-ridership network, over a high-coverage one, so these route changes for 2015 are a gentle lean in that direction to provide more streamlined and frequent routing."
IndyGo is proposing changes to 28 of its 31 routes to make the transit network in Indianapolis more useful for spontaneous travel. Detailed descriptions of all route changes will be available to the public at The Hall (202 N. Alabama) on:
• Wednesday, Oct. 29: 12 - 2 p.m.
• Thursday, Oct. 30: 9 - 11 a.m.
• Thursday, Oct. 30: 4 - 6 p.m.
Most routes will only alter their travel patterns in the downtown area to serve the Downtown Transit Center, but other noteworthy changes will occur across the system at the following destinations:
• Butler University: New service with Routes 18 & 28.
• VA Hospital: Now served directly by route 37. Route 10 will drop off at Eskenazi and along 10th.
• Eskenazi: Realignment on Route 10 only serves east side of Eskenazi, on Eskenazi Ave.
• IUPUI: Elimination of the Route 50, Routes 3 & 37 will now provide 15 minute frequency between downtown and Campus.
• Broad Ripple Avenue: Now has all day 30 minute service via Route 17.
IndyGo is encouraging feedback on the proposed 2015 routing for the Downtown Transit Center. The open houses are a first look at the plans, and input received will steer the direction of final changes which will be revealed in early 2015. Comments will be taken at the open houses, on-line at IndyGo.net and by calling 635.3344.
IndyGo accommodates reasonable requests for access to large print, Braille and other special services for non-English speakers or people with disabilities. Please direct all requests to Lauren Albert at 614.9284 or email@example.com
IndyGo, the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation, provides public bus transit services to residents and visitors throughout Marion County. IndyGo is led by President and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Terry, and a seven-member, bipartisan board appointed by the Mayor of Indianapolis and the City-County Council of Indianapolis and Marion County. On its 31 local service fixed routes IndyGo provided 10.2M passenger trips in 2013. Visit IndyGo.net or call 317.635.3344 for more information. Find IndyGo on Twitter @IndyGoBus or Facebook by searching pages "IndyGo."

Whether you are a new homeowner or have owned your home for years, it is essential that you have the best homeowner’s insurance you can afford. Homeowner’s insurance protects you and your home from things like theft, accidents and theft. The following information will provide you with some very useful tips on fulfilling your insurance needs as a homeowner.
Paying off that mortgage can really lower your homeowners insurance costs. Although this is difficult, the savings can make it worth your while. They generally believe you will take good care of your home if you outright own it.
Flood insurance is important for your home.
There are a number of ways any homeowner can lower their homeowner’s insurance costs. If you plan to add to your home, like a addition to your home, keep in mind that wood frames may cost less than steel or cement but the insurance could be higher.
Flood insurance may not seem necessary if you don’t live in a high-risk area, but it can be a good idea even if you don’t live in a flood plain. You can also receive a great discount on your flood insurance if you’re in a low- or low-risk areas.
If you are going to be 55 soon, it’s a good time for you to have your home insurance policy reviewed, or seek out a new carrier. A lot of companies offer senior citizen a discount on home owners. Look around until you find a different policy elsewhere if your current one doesn’t offer the discount.
If you live a roommate, find out what your policy says about what is covered in a disaster. Some policies only cover the house, and others just cover yours.Make sure you know exactly what is covered before disaster strikes.
A home security system provides an excellent and useful way to lower your homeowner’s insurance costs. The more you do to protect your investment, you become less risky to the insurance company, and that cuts your premium. The reduction will pay for the cost of your security system.
Pay off your mortgage before changing insurance policies. You can realize tremendous savings in premium rates by doing this. A home that is owned appears to be more cared for than one which is under mortgage to insurers.
You may not know that you are liable for costs even if a trespasser is injured on your property without permission. Never forget the importance of a powerful homeowner’s insurance.
You want to feel comfortable that they have the cash to pay your claim if you need to file a claim. You should aim to do this each quarter after you sign up for a quarterly basis
Your neighborhood may have undergone changes that can cut your insurance premiums. If a new one is placed nearby, report them.
Install a security system that has a central monitor at the alarm company. This helps protects your family and gives you a good discount on your insurance by at least five percent.
Make a safe place that you can retrieve in the event you need to make a homeowner’s insurance claim.If you file a claim, this documentation will help your insurance agent quickly process your claim. Having a proper inventory will make the claims process easier for everyone involved. Keep your inventory in a location that is shielded from damage to make sure it is secure.
If you’re in an area that is subject to floods or mudslides, think about getting flood insurance. Standard homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover floods or mud slides, so look into the additional coverage through other means.
Paying your home off can greatly reduce your insurance premium. Insurance companies believe that you are less of a home is paid for.
Many times homeowners always pay too much concerning their valuables. Make sure to do the work required to lower your rates based on a regular basis so that today’s values are being accurately reflected.
Make sure that you have the proper insulation on your home’s water pipes. Burst water pipes are a common homeowner’s insurance claim. Any claim can increase the annual premium, winterize your pipes by insulating them to help protect against burst pipes.
If you have items of value in your house, be sure they have been included in your homeowner’s policy.
Before starting your search for home owner’s insurance, create a list of criteria you are interested in. If you live in a tornado area, that is something you need coverage for as well.
Be sure to stay aware of policy changes if there were to be a life altering event. Contact your insurance agent soon after it happening. This means anything from getting divorced.The amount of insurance coverage you desire may change throughout the years. Be sure your inventory and policy is up to date.
Make sure you have coverage for the increased cost of construction and rising costs there. Your home value will then be adjusted in order to match repair and repairs.
If you wonder how much insuring a home you want to purchase will cost you, get as much information about the house as you can. You need to know as much about the house as possible before you talk to an insurance agent. Find out how old the house is and what type of materials went into its construction. This information will help your agent come closer to the actual policy price.
Homeowner’s insurance is an absolute necessity for all people who’d like to buy their own home. Thanks to this article, you are now armed with excellent advice on how to locate the best homeowner’s insurance policy for your needs. Never think of your policy as an endless waste of money better spent elsewhere. Consider it as a means to secure a most valuable piece of property.

We’ll do this by reviewing the basic phases of an SMS process, as described to me by the safety manager of a location that was awarded the highest safety rating across his $27 billion company’s global operations, and how such a process can be supported by advanced and predictive analytics.
Phase 1: Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
In this stage, all significant hazards associated with the work that needs to be completed are identified and documented via a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). This can be done at an individual task or project level (e.g. manufacturing a widget), or even a facility or company level (e.g. manufacturing 100 million widgets per year across one or several manufacturing locations).
Ideally, this phase is accomplished with a cross-functional team representing frontline employees and managers from both operations and safety. However, the knowledge of even the smartest team is limited by their own experiences, and what they have read or been told. This is where advanced analytics can first support the SMS process.
What if we could augment this team’s knowledge with the knowledge from every JHA ever created? Or every article or journal report ever written about job hazards, and every incident related to the specific work task being considered, and every relevant safety audit or inspection, and on and on. While no human being could possibly process such a large store of information, computers can and are doing this today.
Advanced analytics research has shown that one hazard associated with jobsites is when the inspection team is comprised only of safety professionals. When this occurs, higher incident rates result. This is not an intuitive finding that would generally be recognized as a hazard in a standard JHA process. This requires machine analytics of a statistically significant dataset (in this case millions of data points) to see this pattern and identify this hazard. Once identified, risk management plans (see the next phase of an SMS process) for this hazard can be developed. In this case, ensure that the organization’s inspector group includes all functions within the company, and not just safety.
Phase 2: Risk Management
Plan and Training
In this stage, each significant hazard identified in the JHA developed in Phase 1 is managed by executing various Risk Management Plans. These plans might consist of building Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s), which detail how to execute the work activities in the safest manner, or they may include engineering safety mechanisms into the production process, or they may include procuring personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect workers from hazards. Regardless of what these plans entail, they must be written down and formalized so that measurable goals and objectives can be aligned with them to drive accountability. In addition, these plans must be clearly communicated to the organization, generally in some form of formalized training, to drive both understanding of the job hazards and how to manage them, as well as personal accountability for working safely.
How can advanced analytics help in this phase? Similar to the way described in phase 1. We can augment the knowledge of our risk management team with the knowledge derived from computers that can process nearly limitless amounts of information.
Phase 3: Safety Inspections and Observations
The least costly and most proactive way to test the effectiveness of your JHA and Risk Management phases is for employees to inspect and observe daily work activity to ensure that it is in compliance with the key components of the Risk Management Plan (from phase 2) and thus is effectively managing the workplace hazards.
Research has shown that increased inspection and observation rates can help drive down incident rates. The data companies compile from these inspections fuel predictive analytics yielding leading indicators that predict injuries before they occur. Once predicted, these incidents can be prevented. Figure 2 shows four actual jobsites that effectively reduced their incident rate (the red lines) by increasing their use of inspection data to fuel their predictive analytics systems (the green line).
Phase 4: Incident Analysis
This is another phase where advanced analytics has proven quite effective. Many organizations have reduced their incident rate by analyzing their past incidents for root causes and opportunities for improved risk management measures. However, there are three issues with relying on this type of analysis. First, it is costly to wait for incidents to occur before preventing new ones. Second, it sends a chilling message to your employees. Basically, an organization is saying, “Jim, I am going to wait until your arm gets severed in our production line so that I learn from that incident and prevent Susan’s arm from getting severed. In the meantime, work safe, and keep that assembly line humming. We have production goals to hit!” Finally, as you improve at reducing incidents, you run out of statistically significant data sets to analyze. This is a good thing. However, at that point, you MUST turn to other predictive analytics methods (see phases 1-3 above) to keep your workers safe.
Phase 5: Recognition and Accountability
Generally, there are three levels of accountability in this final phase: 1) individual accountability, 2) leadership accountability, and 3) system accountability. First, the individuals who are successfully executing the Risk Management Plans to address their workplace hazards are recognized for their achievements. Those who are not, are held accountable as appropriate. Second, leadership must be engaged and accountable. They must fully support the SMS process by properly funding it, resourcing it and constantly communicating its importance — as well as holding themselves personally accountable within it.
Finally, the SMS process itself must be periodically audited to ensure that it is achieving its goal and objectives. Through this SMS process review, generally an audit, you can a) measure its effectiveness and b) trend the data that the SMS process throws off, to do further advanced and predictive analytics, similar to those described in phases 1-4 above. You can start analyzing correlated data elements from the entire SMS process and identify trends that not only reduce incidents in the short term, but also ensure that your SMS process is optimized over the long term, ensuring that future hazards are effectively managed.
Both SMS processes and predictive analytics are important ways to reduce workplace injuries. Many companies that employ both are achieving world-class results. They are moving the industry forward by providing even more data that can be used to fuel the advanced analytics functionality of tomorrow. The results of this analysis will further inform SMS processes, creating a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement and reduced incident rates.

As anger and protests in Chile have escalated into violence and caused 18 deaths, the World Council of Churches’ general secretary, Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, has joined other church leaders in calling for a cessation of violence and a mechanism for addressing its root causes.
“I want to express our solidarity with the churches and people of Chile in this situation,” said Tveit. “We fully support the churches in their call for adequate responses to the situation by the government and the people, addressing the root causes for this unrest. In this crisis we see the future of democracy and social justice in Chile at stake.”
After protests initiated by students in Santiago on 16 October over a rise in the price of public transport were met with a strong response by police, the protests widened beyond the students to engage the broader public, workers’ unions and other organizations in several cities, encompassing other issues of concern, including low wages, access to healthcare and economic inequality. Protesters have called for the resignation of President Sebastián Piñera Echenique, despite his mandating an increase in wages and in taxes on the wealthy.
Vandalism and violence have triggered a forceful police response, leading to deaths, thousands of detentions, and a government-declared state of emergency with curfews.
WCC member churches, together with ecumenical partners, have been speaking out about the situation. Calling for peace and condemning acts of violence, they are urging the Chilean government to address underlying inequalities in the country.
Citing widespread economic and social problems, leaders of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Chile (IELCH), a WCC member church, pointed to deeper problems sparking the street violence, saying, “What we saw and lived last night in Santiago was the manifestation of a disagreement and silent rage that was contained in the poorest and most vulnerable sectors of our society. And this demonstration is not silenced by repression by the state. It is unfortunate that the government does not have the capacity and willingness to realize that our country is not the oasis of Latin America as the President has declared, but a country with tremendous social inequalities.”
Himself from Chile, Rev. Dr Martin Junge, general secretary of the Lutheran World Federation, also echoed those convictions, saying, “Difficult and shocking as this is, there are underlying causes that contribute to this eruption of social rage: inequalities and injustices experienced by the people of Chile. Let this be a time to address the root causes. Violence is not the way to solve the issue.”

After 15 years without a local winner, 2015 Columbus High graduate Stanton Schorr held high the 2018 Southeastern Amateur Golf Tournament trophy at the Country Club of Columbus. The Mercer University rising senior scored 68-70-64-69 for a 9-under par 271 to win on June 16."There are so many great players in this town, to think that it's been 15 years since a local has won it is kind of mind blowing," Schorr said. "It's just an honor to have my name on that trophy." He began third-round play in 9th place and four strokes off the lead, then surged ahead to take a one-stroke lead by the of the day."It came out of nowhere," Schorr said. "Sometimes one good thing happens. I was even after seven, then birdied eight, nine and eleven." Momentum led to seven birdies and one bogey to finish the round. Schorr approached the final round as if was just another day. "I knew it would be a long, hard round of golf," he said. "It's better just knowing things will tense up. You get the ball on the green. Piece it together, and play solid." A birdie on 18 capped at two-stoke victory.Two of his former Blue Devil teammates also finished in the top 10. Ben Carr finished in 3rd place with a 3-under par, and Nolan Miller, who plays with Schorr at Mercer, finished 9th at even par. "It speaks volumes to our high school, and our coach Chris Parker, and the job that they do to get players ready to play at the next level," Schorr said. "To have them all here (Carr and Miller) in Columbus where we grew up, and playing well in this tournament, it's cool."

AKIPRESS.COM - Kazakhstan will rebury an iconic ancient warrior in a time capsule this year, in the hope that future generations will be able to establish who he really was, the Kazakh TV said, BBC reports.
Archaeologists uncovered the remains along with magnificent gold-embroidered armour and other precious funerary artefacts during a dig at the Issyk burial mound in the south of the country in 1969, and quickly dubbed him the "Golden Man".
Since independence in 1991, he has become a symbol of Kazakhstan's national heritage. His armour takes pride of place in the national museum in Astana, and tours the world as a calling card of Kazakh culture.But little is known about the the man himself, as researchers were so stunned by the rich find of jewellery that they largely ignored the human remains.

Hudson's site tower might not be tallest in state, sky deck is out
Detroit — The Hudson’s site tower might not become the tallest building in the state as initially planned, Bedrock officials said Wednesday as they gave an update on the project. And a public sky deck is no longer part of the plan.
The decision to remove the observation deck and possibly adjust the tower height were made as Bedrock considers a hotel operator for the tower portion of the development.
“A hotel is definitely a very, very strong possibility,” said Joe Guziewicz, vice president of construction for Bedrock. “Some of the reason we’re still in design refinement is as we get that hotel operator online, they are going to have a lot of impact on the function of the building, the number of units and ultimately the height of the building.”
The project couldn't handle the number of dedicated elevators required for a hotel, residential space and a sky deck.
"We wanted to attract this hotel, which meant we had to give on something, and the sky deck was the thing we gave up," Guziewicz said.
In December 2017, Bedrock broke ground on what was proposed to be a $1 billion, 1.4 million-square-foot mixed-use development. It was previously thought that the tower could reach around 912 feet, making it taller than the 727-foot-tall GM Renaissance Center and the tallest building in the state.
Guziewicz and other officials gave an update Wednesday on the Hudson’s site and three other projects in its construction pipeline: Monroe Blocks, Book Tower and the One Campus Martius expansion. In May 2018, Bedrock won approval for $618 million in tax incentives for the projects.
Bedrock declined to share updated budget figures for each of the developments. Developers have had to deal with a shortage in skilled trade workers and a rise in construction costs.
“It’s safe to that there are portions that are more expensive,” Guziewicz said. “There are portions that are better than they were. As an aggregate, more expensive? I’m going to say it’s close. We’ll leave it at that.”
Guziewicz said it’s tough to answer what the final height will be for the Hudson’s tower. The development at Woodward and Gratiot is expected to be completed in 2023.
The Hudson’s site tower was initially slated to be 100 percent residential, but with the addition of a hotel operator, the height could change. The idea for a hotel was added to meet the high demand for hotel rooms in the downtown, Guziewicz said.
According to the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau, there are about 6,500 hotel rooms in the greater downtown area.
“Do I think it’s going to be half the size?” he said of the tower. “My gut reaction is probably not. Is it going to be the tallest building? Possibly… Until we settle with an operator, it’s just going to be very difficult to project what that final height is going to be."
Before plans for a sky deck were scrapped, Bedrock's architecture team said it was looking at the Willis Tower in Chicago, the Shard in London, New York’s One World Trade Center and Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center for inspiration.
Despite the change in plans, the project could look similar to previously released renderings. The development includes two buildings, the tower and a mid-rise building separated by a through-cut.
"The imagery that's been released to date is consistent with the direction of the project," said Jamie Witherspoon, vice president for architecture and design for Bedrock.
On Wednesday, crews worked 40 feet below ground level in "the hole" on the foundation for the Hudson's site, drilling and filling caissons, a deep foundation system.
Passersby will begin to see by next spring the base of the two buildings at ground level, officials said.
Officials on Wednesday also provided an update on the Monroe Blocks development. The project is in an extended design period that will involve widening and shortening the building slightly.
Construction is expected to resume in early 2020 and be complete in 2022. Bedrock broke ground in December on the development bounded by Monroe, Bates, Cadillac Square and Randolph.
"We're still committed to doing a landmark mixed-use facility there," Guziewicz said.
According to the city of Detroit, upcoming work includes abatement of the former Albert Kahn-designed National Theatre building and preserving the terra cotta facade for use as a pedestrian archway.
Bedrock officials said they are talking with national brokerage firms with local presence to handle inquiries for office and retail space for the Monroe Blocks development.
"The national guys really know what's going on across the market, and they're the ones that are able to bring us the large clients that reach out to them on a daily basis looking for space," Guziewicz said.
"We're also confident with the amount of space we have based on all the inquiries we get and our inability to fill those inquires for large chucks of square footage that these buildings are absolutely needed and desired."
Other updates include:
- The One Campus Martius expansion is expected to be completed later this year ahead of schedule. Work is about 60 percent complete on what will be 310,000 square feet of office space and 27,000 square feet of rentable event space.
- Book Tower, a mixed-use building on Washington Boulevard, is expected to be completed in 2022. The exterior restoration is nearly complete and the interior renovation is ongoing. More than 2,400 historically accurate replacement windows have been installed.

Volunteers and staff see progress in grant-funded business
by Rick Jones | Presbyterian News Service
PLACENCIA, Belize — A little more than six years ago, the families living in remote villages in the Toledo region of Belize were facing some serious problems. Children were undernourished, barely attending school, and there was little income to be made.
That changed when the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People (SDOP) awarded a grant to a group of women in the village who wanted to forge their own path. The result was the Marigold Women’s Cooperative. A group of indigenous Mayan women used the seed money to open a roadside restaurant, creating employment opportunities and provide a new source of income to improve the village.
“This is where you see the power of cooperation between government and communities. The country’s Department of Cooperatives had done a great deal of capacity building before we came along. The ladies learned about sales, promotions, customer services, cooking, presenting and overall business basics,” said Lisa Leverette, chair of SDOP’s International Committee. “It’s one thing to have an idea to start a business, but it’s another thing to make it happen. When we came back, it looked so different, they had built their own building from the ground up, proving they were serious.”
SDOP committee members and staff have been visiting communities in southeast Belize all week, meeting with the business owners and seeing for themselves how groups are progressing. During the visit, the committee got some hands-on training in the kitchen, making tortillas and helping prepare a meal.
“With the support of our partners, like SDOP, we have been able to invest in solar panels to provide the power needed to run our freezers and store the food we grow,” said Sarah Ack, the secretary for the cooperative. “We’ve also been able to start a catering business and take the food by bike to work sites in the area.”
Ack says having the freezer has also allowed them to expand product offerings by selling cold drinks and ice, which is a valuable commodity in the heat and humidity.
“We are now able to send our children to school as well branch out into crafts in addition to the food,” she said. “Marigold has helped raise the status of women in our community.”
Leverette was with SDOP during its initial visit to the community six years ago, and she says the difference is significant.
“I’m seeing people moving towards sustainability, a firm economic base beneath them with capacity and partners and a whole network to support them,” she said. “I have no doubt that this is going to generate income, sustainability, opportunity, education, job training and healthy food for this community for generations to come.”
This is the first visit to Belize for SDOP Coordinator, the Rev. Alonzo Johnson.
“I see joy and love in this community, a sense of provision and communal power,” he said. “To see the development, ingenuity and creativity happening here is truly amazing.”
Susan Dobkins will assume the role of International Committee chair in the coming months. This was also her first visit to Belize.
“Having traveled across other parts of Central America, I was really impressed with the structure the Marigold Women’s Cooperative has and I believe solar power is key to their success,” she said. “It’s so important in these rural areas. Those are the things that jump to mind and it seems they are on a path where the future is really bright and it’s gratifying to see that.”
SDOP volunteers and staff will be wrapping up their visit to Belize on Friday.

CFPB Disclosure Prototypes Not in Step With Latest Tech, CMC Says
November 7, 2011
The prototype mortgage disclosure forms that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been testing are getting generally positive responses for their content and overall design. But they arent well suited for the ways in which consumer shopping is adapting to modern technology, according to the Consumer Mortgage Coalition. Recently, software available on mobile web access devices such as smartphones and tablets has streamlined the home and mortgage shopping process, the CMC pointed out in its comments on round 5 of the CFPBs integrated consumer mortgage disclosure project. This technology is evolving rapidly ... [and] the amount of information available to consumers will continue to increase rapidly in the future. Given this reality, it does not appear that the Loan Estimate disclosure will be used as a shopping tool because the consumer will have finished shopping by the time they apply for a loan.


Maybe this phone-as-wallet thing really is finally ready to take off. Bloomberg is reporting that Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) is set to jump on the NFC (near-field communications) bandwagon in a upcoming release of Windows Phone 7.
Microsoft would join Google (NSDQ: GOOG), which has been quite public about its plans, RIM (NSDQ: RIMM), and possibly Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) in pledging support for NFC technology, which would allow phones to act as wireless payment cards when swiped near a reader at a retail store or kiosk. There is much to be worked out between the mobile companies and the payments industry, which is how RIM’s interest in the space came to be known, but if Microsoft is ready to throw its support behind the technology in addition to the market leaders, retail stores will be more interested in holding up their end of the bargain.
That’s because a successful NFC system will require phones to come with the chip, software on the phones to process the payment, retailers to carry the wireless readers, and some sort of back-end payment system to make sure everything gets routed properly. For that reason, among others, interest in wireless payments has been high among mobile computer companies for some time but actual wireless payments have been rare.
It’s not clear whether or not Microsoft plans to work on an NFC phone with Nokia (NYSE: NOK) or with another Windows Phone 7 license, although Bloomberg reported Microsoft’s first NFC phone is expected to arrive this year. The rumor mill has been mixed on whether or not Apple is planning this type of system for the iPhone 5, but Google has already gone ahead and had Samsung put an NFC chip in the Nexus S.
