Hospital Revs Menu to Boost Patient Experience
Executives at John Muir Health in California hope the addition of more nutritious, seasonal, and culturally diverse entree choices will improve patients' health beyond their stay.
Traditionally, the mere mention of hospital food is sure to make anyone turn up their nose. For me, the thought conjures memories from years ago—of an orderly giving me an apologetic smile as he unveiled bland, soggy food from beneath a taupe-colored plastic dome.
But, thankfully, a growing number of hospitals and health systems are beginning to make the connection between the quality of the food they serve and the patient experience. Many are revamping their menus, creating healthier, more diverse, and tastier food options for patients.
John Muir Health, a two-hospital system in California, has been one of the organizations leading the charge in reimagining—and, perhaps, rebranding—the image of hospital food.
"John Muir Health's nutrition department has been changing and updating menus on an ongoing basis over the years as we receive feedback from our patients and as new products become available," says Sandi Rigney, director of nutritional services for the health system. "One of our most popular entrees, which we have continued to keep on the menu year after year, is our fresh seasonal fruit plate."
The health system has removed most of its beef entrees from the menu, adding more fish, vegetarian, child-friendly, and culturally diverse entree choices in their place.

Four Giants of British Modernism
London Beaux-Arts Gallery pays tribute to Four Giants of British Modernism: Terry Frost, William Scott, Peter Lanyon and Patrick Heron. All four worked very closely with Beaux-Arts Galleries during their careers, and this new exhibition running for a month from 19 September to 19 October pays tribute to the artists who revolutionized British Art in their time.
London’s Beaux-Arts Gallery offers a retrospective of some of Terry Frost, Williams Scott, Peter Lanyon and Patrick Heron’s greatest works as they lived and worked through the harsh time of post-war Britain. The artists sought to convey a new sense of hope, breaking away from the desolate world they lived in. All four quickly became pioneers of British Abstract Art and were associated with the famous St. Ives School, along with other artists such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Roger Hilton and Bernard Leach. At the beginning of the war, this little fishing village in West Cornwall increased in popularity among the young emerging artists. This attraction was mainly due to the village’s breathtaking views and clarity of light, a consequence of its peninsula location. While the artists had very different upbringings, it is no coincidence they gathered in Cornwall as they all had profound connections with the place. Terry Frost moved to St. Ives in 1942, after his release from a Nazi prison for four years. Peter Lanyon was born in St. Ives to a Cornish family. Patrick Heron was born in Leeds and studied at the Slade School of Art in London before permanently moving to Cornwall after the war. Finally, William Scott was born in Scotland and joined the army in 1942 before meeting his fellow artists as an Academician, then spending some time in Cornwall.
Four Giants of British Modernism exhibition shines a light on various figurative ideas running through all four artists’ works, as they tried to influence a whole generation. An influence that can be seen in each others work as well, as, for the first time, London’s Beaux Arts Gallery shows some of their paintings side by side. Now let’s come back to this figurative notion. Frost, Scott, Lanyon and Heron put forward figurative ideas, but still, their work shines through the expressive potential of the paintings themselves. Their work attracts attention with mark-making while retaining the subject matter and imagery.
The exhibition features five to six works from each of the Post Second World War modernists, all originating from private collections. Beaux-Arts’ first gallery, Will’s Lane Gallery, was in fact located in the village of St. Ives and quickly became a central platform for exhibiting the work of artists of the St. Ives School from the early ‘70s. So, it’s no surprise that London’s Gallery dedicates this exhibition to four of the most prolific artists of their time. ■

Health Dept. confirms flu death
It is the state's first pediatric flu death of the 2018-18 flu season.
"No vaccine is 100 percent effective", said Carolyn Kaltenberg, a nurse and immunization program manager with Grand Forks Public Health.
ODH also reports 1,750 new confirmed flu-associated hospitalizations in OH during the first week of January, a significant increase over 925 reported during the last week of December.
Since October, there have been 166 people hospitalized with the flu in Lucas County.
The flu is landing more people in the ER than usual.
Even the flu-related deaths can be undercounted because they are not always attributed as such.
The state does track flu-associated hospitalizations, which are rising.
Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone six months old and older get a flu shot. H3N2-predominant flu seasons have been associated with more severe illness, especially among children and adults age 65 and older.
"Normally in a season, we'll see a peak of influenza A happening some time towards the end of December or through January", Murti said Monday.
Those being treated for a respiratory illness or have flu-like-symptoms should obtain a mask at a Riverwood clinic or the hospital reception desk and wear it until you leave the facility.
"The virus we're giving them is dead, it's virtually impossible to get the flu from a vaccine", de Lota said.
The Ohio Department of Health said influenza A, or H3N2, is the most common virus this season. Byrne says, "It's a high fever, usually over a hundred degrees, with a severe headache and body aches, and extreme fatigue that can last up to three weeks; and you could have a cough".
According to USA officials, the flu vaccine is still the best way to safeguard your immune system against influenza.
Other effective ways to avoid getting or spreading the flu include: washing hands frequently or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer; covering coughs and sneezes with tissues, or coughing or sneezing into elbows; avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth; and staying home when sick.
"These antiviral medications can reduce the severity of the flu and prevent serious flu complications", Koenig said.

and not just ‘healthy’ food good, but actually delicious.
if you ate them you wouldn’t be able to tell they don’t have any refined flour, sugar or butter.
(and they’re gluten free!)
now the best part about pancakes that are healthy is that you can have them anytime without feeling guilty because hey, they’re healthy. and they’re quick and easy too. win, win, win.
i really hope you make them. (like now) because once you make them, you probably won’t want to ever make the normal white flour-butter-sugar-egg combo pancakes ever again. i swear, they’re really not lacking in the sweetness department but if you like your pancakes sweeter just add sweeter toppings 🙂
and have fun with the toppings! GO CRAZY! because the pancakes themselves are so nutritious and good for you, you can even use crazy toppings like chocolate chips and sprinkles.
I love arugula. Call me weird, but the bitterness is appealing to me? It’s one of the only leaves I’ll have raw. Raw spinach? bleh. Lettuce? tasteless. collard? ew.
But I’m not exactly fond of salads. They’re not filling enough or they’re doused in way too sweet dressing or they’re bland. So instead I like my arugula on pizza or in dishes like this. This dish is absolutely complete. Soft, fluffy millet, warm spicy curry, mellow sweet potato, bright acidic cherry tomatoes and sharp arugula.
I recently discovered millet as a grain. Prior, I’d only had millet flour rotis which are very popular in India and ‘baajre ki khichdi’ which is a millet stew cooked traditionally in lots of indian ghee and milk or cream. I had never actually had millet by itself. But a few weeks ago my mom picked up a bag of organic mixed millet and I fell in love! Its softer and less chewy than grains like quinoa and brown rice. It also has milder, less nutty taste.
The next component of the dish is the curry! This is a spicy, improvised curry that I sort of made up as I went a long. It has garlic, onion, coconut milk and a generous dash of spices. The sweet potato really balances out the spiciness.
And last but not least, the cherry tomatoes. We don’t normally have cherry tomatoes at home because they’re not always available here. We have to go to speciality grocery stores and even then, they’re quite expensive. But boy are they worth it! They’re spunky and colorful and they just elevate the dish.
I really hope you try out this dish. Even if you don’t have all the components – improvise! No millet? Use rice or another similar grain. No arugula? Skip it, or another raw green. No cherry tomatoes? Use normal diced tomatoes! Don’t have all the spices? Use a store bought curry powder, garam masala or thai spice mix instead!Don’t like sweet potato or spinach? Use other veggies – normal potatoes would be fine and you can substitute in any other vegetable under the sun. Pumpkin or zucchini would be wonderful here!
Oh, and I forgot to mention – this is accidentally vegan 🙂
Now on to the recipe!
Sweet Potato & Spinach curry
(makes 3 portions)
2/3 tablespoon diced garlic/garlic paste
1 large or 2 small onions, diced
1 tsp grated ginger
3 small or two medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1.5 cup spinach (or just 2 handfuls) cleaned and chopped roughly
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds/cumin powder, 1/4 tsp fenugreek powder, 1/8 tsp cinnamon, 1/2-1 tsp chili powder, dash of black pepper and salt to taste
3-4 handfuls arugula, cleaned
cherry tomatoes, washed and halved
2 cups cooked millet or any other grain
Heat some olive oil in a pan and when it’s hot, add in the garlic, onion and ginger.
Keep mixing and when the onion and garlic are lightly browned, add in the sweet potato, around 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup of the coconut milk.
Cover and let simmer on low heat for around 15 minutes.
Add in the spices and 1/4 cup more of the coconut milk, stir well
Cook for another 10 minutes until the sweet potato is tender, stirring well throughout
Add in the spices and the rest of the coconut milk, stir until the curry is thickened and the spinach is cooked (about a minute)
Remove from heat
Remove the stems from the arugula (unless you can take the bitter taste of the stems then leave them on) and arrange a handful on the plate
Divide the millet into three portions and place a portion onto the plate
Top with cherry tomatoes and a generous helping of the curry

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys because of a foot injury.
Bradshaw only practiced once this week, on Friday in a limited capacity, but said he's "good" as the Giants prepare to face their NFC East rivals.
Bradshaw also practiced just one day last week and was questionable for the Giants' game against the Redskins, but ultimately played. In his career, Bradshaw has often been able to practice ...Read full story

We've got another exciting AAC matchup on the college basketball schedule as the Wichita State Shockers and Charlotte 49ers are set to tip at noon ET on Sunday at Dale F. Halton Arena. Charlotte is 16-8 overall this season and 10-2 in the AAC, while Wichita State is 10-15 and 2-10 in league play. As new conference foes, these two programs don't have any history against each other.
However, the 49ers have been the more reliable team against the spread this season, going 13-9 against the number while Wichita State is 8-15. The 49ers are favored by 6.5 points at home in the latest Charlotte vs. Wichita State odds, and the over/under is 136 points. Before entering any Wichita State vs. Charlotte picks, you'll want to see the NCAA Basketball predictions from the model at SportsLine.
The model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. It enters Week 15 of the 2023-24 season on a 131-88 roll on all top-rated college basketball picks dating back to last season, returning nearly $2,500 for $100 players.

Charlotte held the Roadrunners to just 35.8% shooting from the floor and defensive intensity has been a calling card during the program's great run. Over the last 11 games, opponents are shooting just 40.9% from the field and 28.8% from the 3-point line against the 49ers.
What you need to know about Wichita State
Meanwhile, Wichita State is coming off a 68-55 loss to the East Carolina Pirates on Thursday. Colby Rogers led the Shockers with 16 points, while Harlond Beverly had 12 points and five rebounds in the defeat. However, Wichita State went just 4-for-21 from the 3-point line.
As a squad, the Shockers shoot just 31.3% from beyond the arc and they rank 308th in the nation in that category. Rogers is averaging 15.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per game this season and he's one of only two players on the roster shooting better than 33.3% from deep (39.1%).

African Cities Research Consortium
The African Cities Research Consortium brings together a range of international partners to explore and tackle the complexity around urban development in some of Africa’s biggest cities.
The African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC) aims to generate evidence to tackle complex urbanisation problems in some of Africa’s fastest growing city areas through localised activity.
Led by professor Diana Mitlin, from the Global Development Institute at the University of Manchester and also a principal researcher at IIED, the consortium brings together a number of international partners committed to catalysing change for urban communities.
These include the UK-based Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI); the African-based organisations ICLEI Africa, the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) and Slum Dwellers International (SDI); as well as international groups such as the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER).
The objective is to produce new knowledge that can catalyse integrated, sustainable and inclusive approaches to address development challenges faced in some of Africa’s biggest urban communities.
Mitlin said: “The long-term prospects for much of Africa will hinge on creating more sustainable, equitable and inclusive cities. The African Cities Research Consortium will enable us to tease out the complexities and highlight potential solutions to improve urban centres across the continent”.
The consortium builds on recent work that IIED’s Human Settlements research group has undertaken for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (previously DFID) on the Urban Crises Learning Fund and on shelter provision in East African cities.
What will IIED do?
The project will initially focus on 13 selected African cities. This will allow practitioners and investigators to conduct intensive and inter-connected research that delivers real insight for local authorities, civil society and donors.
These cities are: Accra (Ghana), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Bukavu (DRC), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Freetown (Sierra Leone), Harare (Zimbabwe), Kampala (Uganda), Khartoum (Sudan), Lagos (Nigeria), Lilongwe (Malawi), Maiduguri (Nigeria), Mogadishu (Somalia), and Nairobi (Kenya).
The consortium will frame the research within the 'city as a system' approach. This aims to move beyond the sectoral silos of development research and interventions, and allows practitioners and researchers to treat and examine each city as a complex system itself.
The integration of this practice with a political and technical analysis, undertaken by key players on the ground, will enable the group to address large scale urban development challenges.

RYANAIR have axed EIGHT Irish flights between Dublin Airport and four other European airports on Sunday.
It comes as they refuse to publish a list of flights affected by its shock decision to cancel up to 2,000 over the next six weeks.
Passengers of the under-fire airline will receive just a few days’ notice if they are among those affected by the cull.
Two flights, a departure and return between Dublin and Amsterdam, Frankfurt Hahn, Nantes, and Santander have been stopped by the airlines.
Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said: "We will cancel 40 to 50 flights daily for the next six weeks, (less than 2% of our schedule) with a slightly higher number this weekend as we begin to implement these cancellations.
“Flights are operating as scheduled unless an email confirming a cancellation has been received. We advise customers to check the email address used to make their booking.
"Cancellation notices for flights cancelled up to and including Wednesday 20 Sept have been sent to affected customers and we will continue to send regular updates and post flight information on our website.
“We apologise to all affected customers for these cancellations. We have messed up in the planning of pilot holidays and we're working hard to fix that."
It comes as thousands have already been affected today. The full list of cancelled Saturday flights is here.
Michael O’Leary’s carrier said today: “Flights are operating as scheduled unless an email confirming a cancellation has been received.

Just read an article that the United States Navy field tested the unmanned aerial vehicle, the X47B. The idea is that in the future this remote controlled plane can be launched from aircraft carriers. The stealth bomber took off from Edwards Air Force Base and made a 29 minute maiden flight without incident, apparently. Numerous U.A.V.'s are already in service but the X47B will be the next step in stealth and weapons delivery. It's also a safe bet that the technology, both hardware and software, will be cutting edge. While not clearly described in the article it might be possible the aircraft also has advanced software which will enable the craft to operate largely autonomous and with little input from the operators. That is something that's been worked on for quite a while now. Too bad so much effort, time and money goes into weapons technology, and not in solving human problems.

Washington: International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has said economic growth in the Middle East and North Africa must include all members of society to fulfill the promise of the Arab Spring.
Lagarde, in a speech in Washington yesterday, said the Arab Spring that began a year ago in Tunisia was at a "delicate transition point" as the MENA region seeks to define its future.
"While each country in the region must find its own path to change, the over-arching economic goals of the Arab Spring remain clear -- higher growth, growth that creates more jobs, and growth that is shared equitably among all strands of society," she said.
The IMF managing director said that, despite some setbacks in the region, she remained "ever hopeful" that the Arab Spring is still poised to unleash "the potential of a better future for all."
However, the region faces challenges after governments reacted to social pressures by increasing subsidies, wages and other subsidies, which has undermined economic stability.
"Fiscal deficits have widened, which raises concerns about sustainability. It pushes up interest rates, which makes it harder for the private sector to get credit to set up or expand businesses and start hiring people," Lagarde said in a speech at the Woodrow Wilson Centre.
"Macroeconomic stability is essential. But macroeconomic stability and inclusive growth can -- and indeed must – go hand in hand."
Lagarde called on governments across the region to root out corruption and establish institutions to boost accountability and good governance.
"The government must also lay the foundations of a modern and competitive economy by breaking down the vested interests and cozy networks of privilege that prevent the region from reaching its true economic potential.
"There is simply no other way to create the 50-70 million jobs needed for the people joining the labour force and to reduce unemployment over the next decade."
Lagarde said the international community could help promote positive changes in the region by opening up market access to its exports.
Removing non-tariff barriers "doesn't cost much in the short term and can help much," she said. Lagarde noted the IMF stood ready to help and has earmarked USD 35 billion that could be made available for loans in the region.

Flaxseed oil contains omega-3 fatty acids that can benefit the eyes. A person with dry eye may choose to take flaxseed oil each day in order to reduce symptoms of dry eye. And your eye doctor will give recommendations for dosage, based on a person's age, diet and overall health. And the omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed oil may help reduce the risk of macular degeneration in some people. If people has a higher intake of omega-3 fatty acids and a lower intake of omega-6 fatty acids, prevention works best. The person taking flaxseed oil should consult the private health practitioner for diet and prevention. Flaxseed oil may intensify the blood thinning effects of some medications, including aspirin.

She usually wears a grayish blue pair of contact lenses as being seen on her "Super Bass" music video and "5 Star Chick Remix" video. She wears Kuwaiti brand contact lenses Classy. Getlenses.co.uk have an assortment of great lenses on offer.
Well, looks like that special phenomenon intrigues you. So, from what I know, it is true that not only the eye and throat, but many parts of our body are interconnected so that it would be common for you to feel that way. And generally speaking, it matters not that the eye drops get into your throat, it is ok. Just take it easy but try to keep your eyes clean and make proper use of them.
You will never know unless you try it on.So find one from a boutique and try it to see how it looks.
If there are some signs of health problems, we should pay attention and do something about it. Dry eyes are usually resulted from a lack of sleep and relaxation of your eyes , maybe constant exposure to computer screen or too much reading. Anyway, you should watch less TV and play less PC, also try to take exercises and take in vitamins and fruits and vegetables.
Well, yes, ear infection can also lead to eye irritation. So when you have ear infection, you should be careful about your eyes or it will just lead to some serious eye problems. First, you need to know that eye irritation can be caused by bacterial, viral, and allergic. And according to some experts, eye irritation which is caused by the same bacteria can also cause ear infections. And as we know that an ear infection can spread to the eyes and cause eye irritation. And also, sometimes, red eyes, itchy eyes, even swelling eyes can be possible too.

The app See Saw aggregates art show listings, sorting them by city and neighborhood.
BY RACHEL SMALL
The app See Saw has become a go-to for denizens of the New York art world as a way to easily reference gallery shows on view in a given neighborhood. Created by Ellen Swieskowski in 2014 with help from her programmer brother, Patrick, it initially listed New York shows in Chelsea and the Lower East Side while allowing users to pin them to a built-in, Apple-hosted map. It quickly caught on with curators and journalists who needed a way to manage an overabundance of shows in the given locales, and word spread. Since, See Saw has expanded to cover other parts of Manhattan, as well as Brooklyn, and, last month, it officially rolled out guides for Los Angeles, Berlin, London, and Paris. “There are so many cities we’re interested in expanding to, but as a starting point these seemed like the major international cities that people travel to most frequently for the galleries, art fairs, and auctions,” Swieskowski says. “The app is great for keeping track of exhibitions with a large number of galleries in concentrated areas, so that’s also a big factor.” Behind the scenes at See Saw, building out the listings takes straightforward data entry that includes venues, dates, and, if available, the press releases and images from each show. Meanwhile, Swieskowski counts on a trusted international network of gallerists, artists, and others to find out about new spaces. “I’m always surprised at how many interesting galleries people tip us off to that aren’t on the radar.” No doubt See Saw users see it the same way.

We all know the frustration of trying to get a stubborn infant to hit the developmental milestone of saying “Dada.” We point to objects, frantically trying to impress vocabulary upon our gurgling progeny, even as we doubt whether they’re paying attention. Now, a new study has demonstrated that infants as young as nine-months-old are indeed learning when parents name objects for them—and actively participating, by structuring their babbled responses around their parents’ positive feedback.
“For parents, this knowledge might come as a welcome relief: Yes, your children are learning when you name objects for them,” coauthor on the study Rachel Albert of Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania wrote in Scientific American. “With this knowledge comes the opportunity to be a more effective communication partner for your growing child.”
Prior studies have shown that parents do just about everything to get their kids to talk, including changing the timbre of their voices in consistent ways across cultures. And their efforts are not in vain. Researchers have demonstrated that one-on-one “conversation” with babbling babies gives them a serious leg up in developing their language skills later in life. But until now, it was unclear why babies babble in the first place, or precisely how their babbling leads to language.
For this new study, Albert and colleagues watched as mothers interacted with nine-month-olds, and found that infants babble strategically to elicit specific reactions from their caregivers. For instance, a baby might hold a ball and run through a battery of noises until she arrives at “ba”. Once she hits that sound, mothers tend to react excitedly because the babble sounds like “ball”. Meanwhile, the study suggests, babies are neurologically hardwired to bounce sounds off adults until they get positive feedback. Which means babbling is essentially experimental conversation.
“What’s truly incredible about these exchanges is the level of influence babies have as actual conversation partners,” Albert writes. “They’re structuring the interaction with their parent in a way that facilitates their learning of the object’s name.”
Albert suggests parents fully engage when their infants are trying to communicate. That means putting down your phone, turning to your child’s object of interest, and having what may feel like a one-sided conversation with your babbling baby. But it’s worth it. “Responding promptly will catch children when they’re most receptive,” Albert writes. “Shared attention to the object they’re babbling at teaches children the name of that object more than hearing the correct name on its own.”
Even if your kid isn’t quite ready to say “Dada”, it sure is a step in the right direction.

Madison, Wis. – Apr. 27, 2022 – Singlewire Software has won a 2022 Govies Award from Security Today Magazine in the Emergency Communication Systems category for its InformaCast with Incident Management solution. An independent panel of judges from the security industry selected the InformaCast based on a variety of criteria, including features, innovation, user-friendliness, interoperability, quality, design, market opportunity, technical advances, scalability, and overall impact on the security industry.
“Organizations, especially government entities are looking for security solutions that offer more ways to keep their people safe,” said Paul Shain, president and CEO of Singlewire Software. “This award highlights how InformaCast with Incident Management does more than just send out messages at the onset of an emergency. It offers a means to handle every aspect of a crisis from start to finish.”
InformaCast with Incident Management allows users to group certain notifications under a particular event. This can include the initial alert, follow-up messages, and “All Clear” messages to signal the event has been resolved. These alerts can be sent to all an organization’s devices as text and audio to ensure maximum reach. Users are also able to upload relevant resources into the incident hub to help give safety team members all the information and assistance they require to easily manage the situation. This can include safety checklists, building floor plans, and links to external resources like security camera feeds. This reduces the need to navigate long lists or complex menus and helps walk users through every step of their organization’s incident response plan. When the incident is over, a report is created that allows users to review how the event was managed and inform future adjustments to ensure the most effective response possible.
“The pandemic has wreaked havoc worldwide, but security manufacturers continued to work hard designing new security solutions for the government sector,” said Ralph C. Jensen, editor-in-chief for Security Today magazine and securitytoday.com. “This is truly a testament of dedication and vision to ensure the best products are available for government use.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We at CPHR Canada are honoured to appear before your committee for the study of Bill C-65. CPHR Canada is a group of human resources associations across Canada. CPHR Canada is the national voice on the enhancement and promotion of the human resources profession. With an established and credible designation, CPHR Canada works on national issues related to the profession and is proactively positioning the national human resources agenda on the international stage.
In October 2016, the Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations, its nine provincial associations and three affiliated territorial associations chose a new name and introduced a new Canadian designation, Chartered Professionals in Human Resources, or CPHR. Only one designation—CPHR—is used for the standard of quality, in line with the model adopted by many other professions and professional designations in human resources around the world.
Our 27,000 members ensure the integration, development and well-being of workers, and help employers of all sizes meet the challenges of today's and tomorrow's labour market, challenges such as an aging workforce and the need to attract skilled workers, significant technological changes and an increasing regulatory burden. We are on the front lines of dealing with complaints of harassment and violence in the workplace. As such, we are ideally placed to assist parliamentarians on many strategic issues, including employment insurance reform, access to high-quality job training for all Canadian workers, pay equity, and of course, the features of Bill C-65.
Bullying, harassment, and sexual violence have no place in today's workplace, yet according to a survey conducted for the federal government, 10% of respondents said that harassment is common in the workplace, and 44% said that while it is not frequent, it happens. Most respondents agreed that incidents are under-reported and often dealt with ineffectively. According to our own data collected in my own province of Quebec, 60% of organizations surveyed reported receiving complaints related to harassment.
Obviously, this cannot continue. The issues underlying bullying, harassment, and violence in the workplace, including challenges faced by victims in the complaint process, have a direct impact on mental health, absenteeism, and loss of productivity. Bill C-65 is long overdue. In our submission, we will address three main issues: definition and implications for performance management, investigation of complaints, and prevention of harassment and violence through culture change.
We would like first to address the definition of bullying, harassment, and violence. We also believe that Bill C-65 should define workplace bullying, harassment, and violence, and we are pleased to learn that the minister is open to amendments in this respect. Definitions would provide clarity and direction to employers, employees, and the courts in understanding the legislator's intent. There are examples in provincial legislation that could guide the legislators for the federal sector. Recommendations from the standing committee would be invaluable in this respect, and we would be pleased to review them prior to their adoption.
One aspect that is of concern to members of CPHR Canada relates to issues surrounding performance management. Any definition must recognize that reasonable performance management is not harassment. An employee may feel anxious and stressed when receiving performance feedback or a written warning, a performance improvement plan, or progressive discipline. Anxiety and stress can obviously lead to illness, but it would be a tremendous burden on employers should they face harassment and bullying claims because they are properly managing performance. In that respect, we recommend that reasonable performance management be explicitly recognized in defining harassment, and that reference to illness be more clearly linked with events related to harassment, violence, and workplace safety.
Other key aspects of the bill of particular interest to HR professionals are the provisions relating to the investigation.
We are particularly concerned about the complaint process when complaints are filed against supervisors. Right now, the bill does not clearly set out whether an alternative will be available to someone who would like to make a complaint when the alleged harasser is their supervisor. This mechanism must absolutely be included if the intent of the legislation is to make reporting easier. When someone wants to make a complaint, if the first step is to go to their supervisor when the supervisor or the supervisor's supervisor is the subject of the complaint, it is highly likely that the complaint mechanism will not be effective. This is especially true for small organizations.
We urge you to clarify this aspect and provide an alternative for cases where the complaint is directed to the supervisor or the employer. Any disclosure process must be clear, simple and impartial, and include people working for small organizations.
We strongly support that any investigation relating to a complaint of harassment or violence must be assigned to an individual who is competent to do so. It is our recommendation that regulations need to be prescriptive in defining who is authorized to conduct investigations. Issues such as fairness, impartiality, and privacy are crucial components. Done badly, investigations can cause even greater damage to workplace relations.
Investigations must be performed by trained professionals who are subject to a code of ethics and rules of professional conduct and, in some instances, bound by professional secrecy.
A final word on investigations is that we strongly urge that regulations provide for what might be included in an investigator's report. Beyond a finding of whether there was bullying, harassment, or violence in the workplace, the investigator could, or actually should, make recommendations on practices that need to change or be initiated within the organization. The report should also create an obligation to abide by the recommendations within a set time frame. This approach would send a very clear signal that the federal government is serious about addressing bullying, harassment, and violence in the workplace.
I would like to turn to our third and final point, which is the issue of prevention.
The #MeToo movement has created a widespread public conversation on bullying, harassment, and violence. The movement has created an environment where individuals feel safer to lodge complaints and expect these complaints to be dealt with, but each time this happens, high personal and business costs result and productivity suffers. We need to do better.
Culture change is required in Canadian workplaces to prevent bullying, harassment, and violence. The government has committed to put in place supports such as awareness-building on harassment and violence, education and training tools for employees and employers, and direct support to help employees navigate the process and support employers in putting in place policies and processes. We look forward to hearing further details. We submit that support for training, especially in small and medium-sized organizations, is necessary.
Our members, the professionals who are responsible for policies, training, and prevention of bullying, harassment, and violence in the workplace, are keenly aware that culture change is required. The following key aspects, we believe, are necessary in every workplace to drive a change of culture: communicating regularly with employees; ensuring supervisors and managers apply policy; disciplinary management, if necessary, to correct wrongdoing; education and training workshops to facilitate changing attitudes and behaviour; and finally, support and training for managers.
In closing, we would like to reiterate our appreciation for the opportunity to participate in these hearings. We look forward to working with you on the next steps.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The conservation of Astragalus australis var. olympicus is fully sponsored.
Edward Guerrant, Ph.D. contributed to this Plant Profile.
Even though Astragalus australis var. olympicus is native only to high reaches in the Olympic Mountains of Washington, it is not immune to the impact that modern humans have had on the ecosystem. With an unfortunate lack of foresight, 12 mountain goats were introduced to the Olympic Mountains in the 1920s to provide animals for sport hunting. The original population of 12 has now grown to over 1,000 individuals. Mountain goats are not part of the native ecosystem in the Olympic Mountains, and consequently, the flora of the region is not adapted to the stresses that goats put on the plants. Astragalus australis var. olympicus is no exception.
While the Olympic Peninsula encompasses only 8% of Washingtons land, it contains 27% of the states rare flora. Olympic National Park has an even higher concentration of rare plants: 19% of the rare plants here are found in just over 2% of the state (Schreiner et al. 1994). This concentration of rare flora exists because small islands of habitat were not covered by ice or water during the last ice age. Mountain flora isolated in this habitat could not interbreed with other populations, and eventually evolved into its own distinct taxa.
Isolated high in the Olympic Mountains during the last ice age, this particular variety of A. australis evolved a unique trait: highly inflated seedpods. These seed pods have been likened to "mini greenhouses," increasing the temperature surrounding the developing seeds. This variety has not been isolated long enough to evolve into a separate species, but it is possible that this species will become distinct enough to become its own species if it continues to be isolated and cannot interbreed with other populations of A. australis (Schreiner et al. 1994).
Distribution & Occurrence
South-facing talus slopes, ridges, and knolls comprised of calcareous substrates derived from sea-floor sediments (limestone) with a pH nearly always higher than 6. The region is characterized as sub-alpine, with an elevation of 4800 to 6000 ft (1460-1830m). The sub-alpine prairie association includes species such as Phlox diffusa, Festuca idahoensis, Allium crenulatum, and Lomatium martindalei.
|As of 1996: 10 populations on the Olympic Peninsula. Surveys were conducted between 1981 and 1996. Numbers ranged from as low as 9 to as high as 2000, with a total of approximately 5,300 individuals (WNHP 2000).|
Conservation, Ecology & Research
It appears that soil chemistry determines the broad-scale distribution of Astragalus australis var. olympicus, while competition and other environmental factors determine it local distribution (Kaye 1989). An association with VAM mycorrhizae (O'Dell in Kaye 1989) may help it survive in high pH and calcium soils, which are functionally deficient in phosphorous (Lesica and Antibus 1985 in Kaye 1989).
The structure of Astragalus australis var. olympicus plants suit them to areas of poorly developed, unstable soils. The tap root branches to form spreading lateral roots. This species may be subjected to a fair amount of sliding and downhill creep. There is probably considerable frost heaving of soils in late winter and early spring due to the sparseness of vegetation. This may keep other species from becoming established and competing (WNHP 1999).
Astragalus australis var. olympicus is an herbaceous perennial that holds over-wintering buds just below the soil surface. The species does not appear to reproduce vegetatively. Plants usually begin to bloom in early June and peak in late June. A few fruits dehisce (break open) in late July while still on the plant, but most seeds are dispersed in September after fruits have fallen (Sheehan and Kaye 1986 in Kaye 1989).
Experimental insect exclusion reduced overall fruit set but not the number of seeds per fruit. This indicates that Astragalus. australis var. olympicus is typically out-crossed but genetically self-compatible. A mechanical barrier, not a genetic one, may interfere with self-pollination. Inbreeding depression from selfed seeds was not tested, but selfed seeds from other rare Astragalus species do display decreased fitness. Self-compatibility in A. australis var. olympicus is consistent with the view that small populations survived in the glacial refuges during the Pleistocene, and suggests that it may be able to survive future bottlenecks (Kaye 1989).
Bumblebees (Bombus appositus, B. birafius nearcticus, and B. occidentalis occidentalis) and a solitary bee (Osmia spp.) are the primary visitors to Astragalus australis var. olympicus flowers. These bees are capable of tripping the pollination mechanism, and are observed to be relatively faithful to A. australis var. olympicus (Kaye 1989).
Despite abundant flower production, seed set was observed to be low in monitored plants. Low seed set was primarily due to predation, seed abortion, and lack of fertilization. At the sites where weevils were present, predation accounts for the greatest loss of ovules within fruits. Fertilization (or lack of) is not usually a limiting factor (Kaye 1989).
Seeds do not possess highly specific germination requirements. They germinate equally as well in light and darkness. Rates of germination tend to decrease with decreasing temperature and moisture availability, but some seeds are able to germinate near environmental extremes. Most seeds require seed coat scarification to break dormancy. Frost heaving; soil slumping; wind; gnawing by insects, ingestion by rodents and birds; and fungal hyphae may cause scarification in nature.
A weevil, (Tychius spp) was the only adult insect observed to be common on buds, flowers and immature fruits. Larvae reared from fruits produced only Typhius weevils (Kaye 1989). A patchy but locally abundant distribution may make A. australis var olympicus more susceptible to predation than one with a sparse distribution. A. australis var olympicus seems to have few defenses against the Tychius weevil (Kaye 1989).
Seed predation appears to have a negative effect on population growth, but is not responsible for the rarity of the taxon. Some populations occupy habitats prone to rock slides and surface disturbances by introduced mountain goats. Therefore, seed production is crucial for replacement of individuals within populations and for dispersal to new sites (Kaye 1989).
Kaye (1989) suspects that plants do not reach reproductive age until they are five to fifteen years old. Low observed rates of seedling establishment and dominance of large reproductive individuals indicate that recruitment is low. Low seedling establishment is typical of plants at high elevation (Bliss 1971 in Kaye 1989). Both summer drought and winter freezing disturbances probably restrict survival of A. australis var. olympicus to specific microsites (e.g.: rock margins) where drought and freezing disturbance is reduced (Kaye 1989). While growth rates are most sensitive to the number of reproductive individuals, population viability relies on seedling recruitment. In order for projected declines to be reversed, increases in seedling recruitment must be sustained (Kaye 1989).
Monitoring of grazing impact revealed that A. australis var. olympicus was grazed in more than half of the subpopulations surveyed, and that injuring was sporadic but sometimes intense. While it is not expected that mountain goats consume or trample the last of the individuals, they may increase risk of extinction by fragmenting populations or habitats (Screiner et al. 1994).
Trampling by hikers (WNHP 1999)
Pollinator exclusion in the field significantly reduced fruit set but seed set per fruit was not significantly affected (Kaye 1989).
Demographic monitoring from 1985 to 1988 within permanent plots revealed a significant decrease in population numbers. The cause of the decline is not known. Mountain goat grazing and wallowing was one speculative explanation. Low snowpack and summer drought was favored by the researcher as the most likely cause (Kaye 1989).
Transition matrix modeling projected that populations would continue to decline (Kaye 1989).
In order to evaluate the effects of mountain goats, ten permanent plots were established. All Astragalus australis var. olympicus plants were mapped and counted in these plots, and grazing or physical injuries were recorded from 1985 to 1991. Monitoring results revealed that A. australis var. olympicus was grazed in more than half of the sub-populations, and that injuring was sporadic but sometimes intense. Sub-populations were more or less stable during the six-year period, but the study was not long enough to determine long term trends (Schreiner et al. 1994).
Seed germination studies at The Berry Botanic Garden. Seeds were scarified and then subjected either to no cold stratification or 8 weeks of cold stratification followed by either constant 68F (20C) or alternating 50F/68F (10C/20C) temperatures. 100% of the seeds without cold stratification germinated regardless of temperature regime. 80% of seeds subjected to cold stratification germinated regardless of subsequent temperature regime (BBG File).
Seeds from three locations stored at The Berry Botanic Garden.
Conduct field searches to locate new populations (WNHP 1999).
If population sizes continue to decline, seedling recruitment may be increased by removing mountain goats from the area, controlling pre-dispersal predators, sowing extra seeds, and tending established plants (Kaye 1989).

Following her recent Best New International Act win at the BET Awards and ahead of a much-anticipated support slot on Alicia Keys’ US tour, rising star Libianka delivers a stunning visual for her latest single ‘Jah’. The music video, directed by Meks and Frost, features Libianka’s soulful performance and celebrates the power of freedom and self-discovery. Shot on Birchfield Farm, the video tells the story of a young woman breaking away from old habits and surroundings and embarking on a transformational journey.
‘Jah’ serves as the official follow-up to Libyana’s international phenomenon ‘People’, which was certified platinum in the UK. The new single 2023 will strengthen its grand debut and showcase her unique voice that has won worldwide acclaim. ‘Jah’ seamlessly blends her influences from gospel and Afrobeats, showcasing Libianka’s soulful vocals and relatable songwriting. The track explores the theme of self-determination and the freedom that comes with unwavering faith, as she sings, “I’ve got everything I want, in Jah, Jah, Jah…”
Speaking about the song, Libianka said, “In my life, I’ve met many people who are not with me today (figuratively). Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go as you planned, and sometimes you need to get away from someone to improve yourself.
Libianka’s remarkable journey began in December 2022 when she released ‘People’, a powerful introduction that illuminates her personal experience with the rare mood disorder cyclothymia. The song resonated with listeners, speaking of feelings of loneliness and isolation and garnering a fan following that admired her for her vulnerability. ‘People’ made history as the highest charting African single in the UK charts, reaching #2 on the Official Singles Chart and spending over eight weeks at #1 on the UK Afrobeats Chart. Libianca has since collaborated with popular artists such as Ayra Starr, Omah Lay, Cian Ducrot, Becky G and featured on JAE5’s ‘I Wish’. With over 400 million global streams and 130 million YouTube views, Libianka’s influence is undeniable.
Growing up with a love for Afrobeat, Makosa, Gospel and R&B, Libianka’s musical journey was to greatness. Years of honing her skills at open mic nights and church choir practices laid the foundation for her artistry. Libianca aims to “heal the world” by emphasizing vulnerability, compassion and emotion in her music. Her career in the music industry is flourishing and her awards continue to pile up. Libianka is an undeniable talent that demands attention.
Keep an eye out for her performances at festivals and catch her on Alicia Keys’ US tour, where she’s set to dazzle audiences with her incredible talent.


According to data from Bitnodes, Germany managed to surpass the US for the first time in Bitcoin node. Accordingly, Germany is running more Bitcoin nodes.
According to the data obtained, there are currently more than 10,000 Bitcoin nodes worldwide. Of these, 1833 are located in Germany, 1821 in the USA, 549 in France and only 152 in China.
Germany came very close to the USA 2 years ago in 2019. According to the data at the time, there were 1900 nodes in Germany, while there were 2400 nodes in the USA. But it is worth noting that Germany’s population and economy are much smaller than that of the United States. Despite this, it has surpassed the US in terms of Bitcoin node.
On the other hand, when we examine the data, we see that the number of nodes in the USA has decreased. The number of nodes, which was 2400 in 2019, is now 1821. China is at the bottom of the list. There are only 152 nodes in the country.

Whether you bought the legend of Prince as a musical genius, or saw him as a walking ego, Prince was undoubtedly one of music's great live performers.
I first saw Prince perform during one of his many difficult phases when in fact he wasn't even Prince.
In 1995, he was deep in a dispute with Warner Brothers about the ownership of his music and had changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol.
Most newspapers used "TAFKAP" (The Artist Formerly Known As Prince).
He was also going around with "slave" scrawled on his face - a questionable move from a multi-platinum selling musician.
He had given throwaway album Come to the record company in 1994 and it was released with a whimper along with the mythical Black Album, which was pulled just before its planned release in 1987.
Of course, awkward as he was, he was never going to play those albums.
He did seven shows at Wembley Arena in March 1995 and I'm pretty sure it was the one on March 3 that I was at.
We got three songs from Come, three old hits and an hour and a half of unreleased material.
Not many artists would play an arena tour without the big hits but this was Prince. It was brilliant.
Most of the material came from the Gold Experience, bootlegs of which had begun to surface, and which would be released that September.
The opener, Endorphinmachine, was a piledriving reminder of what a great guitarist he was and the excitement never let up.
The power of the sexed-up ballad Shhh and hip hop tracks Now and Days of Wild, the latter a Gold Experience outtake, helped the audience forget they had no clue what he was going on about.
The one big hit in the set was The Most Beautiful Girl in the World which, unbelievably, was Prince's only UK number one single when he released it independently, by agreement with Warner Brothers, at the start of 1994.
The show was great but as fantastic as tracks like Dolphin and Gold were, heard live for the first time, there were plenty of fans, me included, who went home disappointed by the lack of Raspberry Beret or Purple Rain.
He put that right when he returned for his next, and final, Wembley Arena shows in August 1998.
I'm not sure which of the two performances I was at but on the setlist were Purple Rain, I Would Die 4 U, Little Red Corvette, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Diamonds and Pearls, Nothing Compares 2 U, Raspberry Beret and 1999.
Prince was 40 by that stage but as a performer he had only grown since his teens.
There was minimal stage set but he filled the stage - repeated splits James Brown-style one minute and playing soaring guitar solos the next.
As a performer, he was unrivaled because it was all him. He was a stunning dancer, a master musician and the writer of classic songs.
Perhaps it is not surprising that when he realised there was a part of his life over which he did not have complete control, his record deal, he threw his toys out of the pram.
I first discovered Prince as a teenager falling in love with the 1980s classics and the muscular early 1990s hits like Cream and Sexy MF.
I don't think it can be claimed that he really released a great album after 1999, which of course he wrote as the apocalypse two decades earlier, but in the first 20 years of his career he released a catalogue of music to rival any other artist.
He certainly had an ego on him, and was capable of talking utter nonsense and releasing tracks which could only be described as rubbish, but he was also a genius, in the undefinable sense.
Live at Wembley, and wherever he played, he was untouchable.
Seven tracks for people who think they don't like Prince:
- I Wanna Be Your Lover (Prince, 1979) - This is what disco should always have been
- Controversy (Controversy, 1981) - "Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? Controversy."
- The Beautiful Ones (Purple Rain, 1984) - A teenage boy in musical form
- Paisley Park (Around the World in a Day, 1985) - A Beatles inflected psychedelic utopia
- Sometimes it Snows in April (Parade, 1986) - "Sometimes I wish life was never ending, and all good things, they say, never last."
- Forever in My Life (Sign o' the Times, 1987) - Prince strips Sly and the Family Stone down to the bare essentials
- Sexy MF (Love Symbol Album, 1992) - Unbroadcastable in all its funky glory
What are YOUR memories of the late, great Prince? Let us know in the comments section below.

ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria for the End Times by Andrew MacLean
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
The art while very rough looking, goes well with the story. The story is very basic, and could have been expanded more, a bit more info on why and what Aria was doing would have been nice. A few extra pages would not have gone amiss. Arias devotion to the cat is sweet and understandable since she has no one else to talk to but herself (which she does).
The Art of Captain America: The First Avenger by Matthew K. Manning
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked this book. Lots of design art and you get to see how designs changed as the design process went on. I thought the artwork was reproduced wonderfully, nice colours and I didn't notice and problems in the reproduction being blurry or pixalated.


THE Polytechnic, Ibadan, has come out with the production of world-class sanitizers as part of its efforts to join hands with the Oyo State and Federal Government in the fight against the deadly COVID-19.
A statement by the institution’s registrar, Mrs Modupe Theresa Fawale, disclosed that the management noticed the dimension the deadly virus is taking, and the scarcity of standard sanitizers hence mandated its experts to produce world class sanitizers for public use.
Mrs Fawale said that being a leading polytechnic situated in a city with a very large population, the onus is on the polytechnic to look for ways and means to make contributions to the state at its hour of need.
The statement added further that efforts would be made to register the sanitizers with the National Agency for Food, Drug, Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
According to the statement, the product is already available at the polytechnic’s Vocational Skill and Entrepreneurship Study Centre (VSESC), as well as some pharmaceutical centres in Ibadan.
Some of the sanitizers have been presented to some senior government functionaries who also made purchase and distributed in their constituencies.
Fawale said the production of the hand sanitizers was coordinated by the study centre of the polytechnic.

Kenya eyes 3% tax on crypto, NFTs to boost revenue
|Get all the essential market news and expert opinions in one place with our daily newsletter. Receive a comprehensive recap of the day's top stories directly to your inbox. Sign up here!|
(Kitco News) - As Kenya explores ways to shore up its finances and increase government revenue, lawmakers in the country are looking to tax cryptocurrency and nonfungible token (NFT) transactions as a potential source of income according to a newly introduced bill to the Kenyan parliament.
Received by the national assembly on May 4, the Finance Bill 2023 is looking to amend the Income Tax Act by inserting a section that establishes “a tax to be known as digital asset tax” that “shall be payable by a person on income derived from the transfer or exchange of digital assets.”
Based on the text of the bill, the owner of the platform or the person who facilitates any exchange or transfer of a digital asset will be responsible for collecting the appropriate tax and submitting it to the Commissioner.
“A person who is required to deduct the digital asset tax shall, within twenty-four hours after making the deduction, remit the amount so deducted to the Commissioner together with a return of the amount of the payment, the amount of tax deducted, and other such information the Commissioner may require,” the bill reads. “The rate of tax in respect of digital asset tax shall be three percent of the transfer or exchange value of the digital asset.”
Non-residents who own a platform on which Kenyans conduct digital asset exchanges will be required to “register under the simplified tax regime.”
A digital asset is defined as anything of value that is not tangible, including "cryptocurrencies, token code, number held in digital form and generated through cryptographic means or otherwise, by whatever name called, providing a digital representation of value exchanged with or without consideration that can be transferred, stored or exchanged electronically.”
The definition also included non-fungible tokens (NFTs), “or any other token of a similar nature.”
The income derived from the transfer or exchange of a digital asset will be determined by “the gross fair market value consideration received or receivable at the point of exchange or transfer of a digital asset.”
Highlighting the changing landscape of the global employment market, the bill also looks to impose a tax on “digital content monetization,” applying a 15% tax on content creators who are paid to promote various products and services online. This includes activities such as sponsorships, affiliate marketing, paid subscriptions, licensing content, crowdfunding and merchandise sales.
|IMF says Africa's burgeoning crypto market poses risks, needs regulation|
The bill is set to undergo five rounds of readings, committees and reports by the National Assembly before coming up for a final vote. If passed, it will then go to the president to be signed into law.
According to a September report from Chainalysis that looked at global crypto adoption, Kenya ranks 19th in the world in the overall index ranking, indicating that the country has one of the more active blockchain communities. A report presented at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in August indicates that 8.5% of Kenya’s population owns crypto, making it the fifth-ranked country globally behind Ukraine, Russia, Venezuela and Singapore.
Last November, the government of Kenya made its first effort to regulate the country’s growing cryptocurrency industry by introducing amendments to its capital market laws requiring those who own or deal in crypto to report information on their activities to the authorities.
