The Abayudaya people are a geographically isolated community of roughly 2000 Jews in a remote region of Uganda. They practice traditional Judaism, including kashrut and Shabbat, and their liturgy is similar to other Jewish prayers.
The Abayudaya are great performers, and have incredible voices. In 2005, the Smithsonian Folkways project released a Grammy-winning album of their renditions of traditional Jewish songs.
Their sound is distinctly African but many lyrics are familiar from the Hebrew liturgy. Their music gained thousands of devotees in North America following the release of the album, but what is less known is that they are just as interested in American musical-liturgical innovations as Americans are in theirs.
In this video, Abuyudaya Rabbi Gershom Sizomu and his son Igaal recite havdalah, the concluding service of the Sabbath, using a nigun (tune) familiar to many American Jews: that written by Debbie Friedman.
Until her untimely death, Friedman was one of the most vital voices in Jewish music. She set Jewish liturgy to original music that was catchy, heartfelt, accessible, and easy to sing along to. The Abayudaya’s is an unexpected and beautiful performance.

Wedding cakes have come a long way from the traditional three tiered fruit creations covered in royal icing, you can now have any style and flavour you like. Here are some recent wedding cake trends to inspire you:
Trend 1: Bright colours and bold patterns
For couples that want an alternative to the classic white cake, bright colours and striking patterns such as stripes are very popular and large individual patterns such as flowers can stretch across several cake tiers to provide impact. The cake colours can be chosen to match the overall wedding colour scheme; choosing a bolder shade of the accent colour is often effective.
Trend 2: Cup cakes with a new twist
One interesting twist on the cupcake theme is a traditional square tiered cake with a couple of tiers made up of tiny individual square cakes, completely iced and personalised for your guests. This is a more formal version of the cupcake tower but still means that each guest gets their own individual cake. The trend for filling a large cake stand with individual cupcakes is still growing, but many couples are looking for more novel ways to adapt this concept.
Trend 3: Rich flavoured cakes
Fruit cakes are no longer the only option and couples are now looking at flavours such as chocolate toffee, fudge, maple and pecan, coffee, carrot, lemon, vanilla and raspberry, and blueberry. You can choose to have different tiers in different flavours.
Trend 4: Ice cream cakes
White chocolate and strawberry or lemon are popular flavours for ice cream cakes, just make sure not to leave the cake out of the freezer for too long to prevent it from melting away. For outdoor summer receptions, ice cream cakes are the ideal choice, and should double up as dessert as your guests won’t be able to take a slice home.
Trend 5: Gold and silver accessories
Ribbons, icing and other decorative elements can be found in traditional silver and gold, or more modern metallics such as pink, pewter and bronze. You can also use edible metallic food colouring and stencils to create stunning designs across your wedding cake. Metallic themes are finding their way into every aspect of wedding design and cakes are no exception
Trend 6: Black and white cakes
White icing with black elements has been fashionable for a while, but this season elegant black and white cakes are being livened up with a dash of colour, such as bright red, pink, or orange flowers, or a vibrant ribbon. For a striking look, try icing each tier in a different monochrome pattern, including diamonds, stripes, and flower.
Trend 7: Unusually shaped layers
Tiered wedding cakes no longer need to have identical layers. Some couples are opting for layers shaped like a particular object, for example a tiered cake designed to look like a pile of suitcases is a great choice for a wedding being held abroad. Stacking various shaped layers on top of each other creates a contemporary, alternative look.
Trend 8: Cakes inspired by bridal gowns
There is a growing trend towards having your cake design based the style of your wedding dress. Some high end caterers are actually collaborating with dress designers to produce couture cakes inspired by the designers’ collection of wedding gowns. Ivory, cream and white cakes are being decorated with pearls, diamante, fabric, flowers and pieces of jewellery to mirror the bride’s outfit.

Shreveport Evangel Christian emerged from the elimination bracket to win its first annual Evangel 7-on-7 National Championships football title.
Evangel downed Lake Charles LaGrange twice, including 21-10, in the final game after losing to LaGrange in the semifinals. Evangel, the defending Class 2A state runner-up, ousted Belton to set up the return matches with LaGrange.
“I was sick of going to the last play with LaGrange,” said Evangel offensive coordinator Thomas Bachman, whose team lost in the semifinals on a last-second touchdown pass. “The defense played great, and we just tried to manage it offensively. It felt good to have the defense play as well as they did in the championship game. It took a lot of pressure off us.”
The Eagles used some late-game heroics to edge LaGrange, 32-30, and force a deciding second game. LaGrange scored a 1-yard touchdown with 15.5 seconds left to go ahead, 30-25.
Evangel had two plays left, and the first ended in an incompletion. On the game’s final play, quarterback David Dee Duron found Eric Thomas in the front corner of the end zone.
“Wow,” LaGrange coach Jules Sullen said. “We knew coming in we’re at one of the great institutions for high school football in the United States, and we knew they'd be able to make plays. Our thing is to perhaps one day reach a status as Evangel. I can't say the Hail Mary deflated us. We knew it was coming. We tried to defend it and he made a great catch.”
Evangel took a 15-0 lead in the championship game on Judah Jones’ over-the-shoulder touchdown catch and Thomas' first scoring reception before he was forced to leave with a severe cramp in his lower left leg. Pipkin added a pair of interceptions and scored the final points of the tournament after his second theft.
"We didn't want to lose," Pipkin said. "We had fun and played hard. (Thomas) is awesome. He's long. He can jump. He's physical. He's a good receiver. They worked with him, and he's getting better. I grew up with him. We've been together since we were little and I'm glad it's him doing what he's doing."
The 20-team tournament featured teams from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Kansas. LaGrange was seeded fourth and Evangel sixth. Arlington, Texas, drew the top seed.
Ascension Christian taking step up
Ascension Christian of Gonzales isn’t nearly ready to participate in a 7-on-7 tournament the magnitude of which was held in Shreveport. In fact, there is some question as to how prepared Ascension Christian is for its first season of football.
After joining the Louisiana High School Athletic Association as a non-football Class C school last year, Ascension Catholic will move up to Class 1A this coming season. It won’t compete for district honors and will play only three varsity games.
Ascension Christian will open the season against Metairie Ecole Classique before playing Ascension Episcopal of Cade and Pointe Coupee Central. Ascension Episcopal also is making the leap from Class C to Class 1A.
Ascension Christian has a high school enrollment of about 100. Approximately 15 to 18 players have been working out this summer.
“When I first came down here, I didn’t know what to expect,” said Coach Ross Holden, a former assistant coach at Baton Rouge Glen Oaks whose wife teaches at Ascension Christian. “To be honest with you, I’ve been blown away.
“Now we don’t have a lot of kids, but the ones we have do work hard. Their chemistry, and the way they’ve picked up what we’re trying to teach them, has blown me away.”
Ascension Christian belongs to the Household of Faith Church that also supports an elementary-middle school in Faith Academy. Two years ago many of the current varsity players finished the middle-school season undefeated at 10-0. The Lions’ resources are limited and they don’t have enough helmets to take part in formal summer activities, including 7-on-7 passing camps.
“I guess the numbers are the thing that really concerns me,” Holden said. “I’m hoping we’ll be able to pick up a few more guys before the school year starts. I think things will pick up as we go along with it. This is all new.”
Holden, 30, plans to install the Wing-T offense. For now, though, workouts have centered on weightlifting and conditioning.
“This is something I’ve been waiting two years for,” sophomore tight end Aaron Lanclos said. “I played on the eighth-grade team for Faith, and we knew we had to wait through last year without football.
“Not many people know we have a football team. I make it a point to tell everyone I meet. Hopefully, that will get more people interested.”
In addition to the 6-foot-1, 180-pound Lanclos, running back Troy Davis and quarterback Matthew Hadley have shown themselves to be leaders.
“We’re going to have a lot learn,” Holden said. “But I think we’re all excited about the possibilities.”
Denham Springs’ Nettles wins national award
Not only has Denham Springs football coach and athletic director Dru Nettles found success through victories, but he’s achieved a measure of national acclaim for the manner in which he relates to his student-athletes.
Nettles was one of only 41 coaches from across the country to receive the 2009 Liberty Mutual Responsible Coaching Award. Nettles won for the state of Louisiana and with it the $250 he received to help offset the cost of his program.
Nettles guided Denham Springs to a share of its district title last season, as the Yellow Jackets made their first playoff appearance since 1995. More than 500 coaches were nominated for the award by parents and peers.
The award is presented by the Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports program, an online community that uses blogs, videos and curriculum to reinforce the positive role coaches and parents play in the lives of young people. Judging for the award is based on coaching competence, achieving and maintaining excellence on the field and demonstrating a continued commitment to the well-being and development of student-athletes off the field.
Track and field: Former Episcopal standout honored again
It wasn’t enough that Ricky Sheldon capped his career at Baton Rouge Episcopal with two individual state titles and the Class 2A team outdoor crown.
Now he’s added to his long list of accomplishments with his selection as the Gatorade Louisiana Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year.
“It’s a really big honor … the biggest I’ve received,” Sheldon said. “Because it’s on a larger scale, covering the whole state, it’s really special. It means a lot.”
Sheldon is eligible for the national award to be presented later this summer. A Princeton signee, he won the 110- and 300-meter hurdles at the state meet last month. His time of 13.88 seconds in the 100 was among the top 20 in the nation. He clocked 38.69 in the 300. He placed second in the high jump and anchored Episcopal’s 4x400 relay that placed second.
“He’s been the heart and soul of our track team as long as he’s been here,” Episcopal coach Claney Duplechin said. “This is a great honor for him. He’s very deserving.”
Sheldon also played football and basketball for Episcopal. He was the football team’s leading receiver and a key reserve in basketball. He carried a 3.72 grade point average and was president of his senior class.

The fragrant lawn chamomile is an undemanding ground cover because you can easily plant it. You can read here how it works.The lawn chamomile is hard-wearing
The fragrant lawn chamomile can form tightly closed areas with lush green, which is why public places and company forecourts like to use this type of easy-care greening. The hardy chamomile is also hard-wearing and has a long-lasting, white bloom in summer (June to September).
Special crop form: English chamomile
In addition to the so-called Roman lawn chamomile, an English lawn chamomile is now also available, which also thrives in partial shade without any problems. And this ground cover, which grows up to a maximum of 5 centimeters, is also much better suited for fragrant lawn greenery.
The disadvantage of this genus of plants is described, however, that it is only hardy to a limited extent, and then it is particularly difficult for the frosty waterlogging. However, you can counter this problem positively by forming a drainage inside the lawn cushions.
Sowing the chamomile
The pleasantly fragrant lawn chamomile prefers an absolutely sunny location and a nutrient-rich soil that is allowed to have plenty of moisture. Sowing should then take place directly on site and ideally in spring. The chamomile also grows without problems in late summer, after which it develops well in the following year. The plant then spreads out independently over several years.
The lawn chamomile is also well suited for growing in pots, which means that it can sometimes spread its scent to patios and balconies.
Caring for the chamomile
The lawn chamomile, often referred to as Roman chamomile, grows up to a maximum of 20 centimeters. Nevertheless, you should cut back the chamomile vigorously every year immediately after flowering. This pruning then sustainably promotes the dense growth of this perennial plant.
The lawn chamomile is not only used as a fragrant plant, but is also often used as a medicinal plant, among other things for digestive problems, toothache and earache.
Even if the lawn chamomile usually tolerates drought well, you should water the plant in the morning or in the evening, especially on hot summer days.
Fertilization of the scent pads is usually not even necessary. However, if necessary, you can apply a complete fertilizer once a year in spring.

THOU SHALT NOT QUESTION THY SUPREME LEADER WHILST DEFILLING THE KINGDOMS’S LAWS: THE OBAMA – MUNRO EXCHANGE
By Nicholas Ballasy
In a video interview, The Daily Caller’s White House correspondent Neil Munro answered questions about his exchange with President Barack Obama in the Rose Garden.
“I shouldn’t be the story. The important thing is the president’s policy today, which could have a significant impact on American workers. I asked a question about that. Admittedly, it was in the middle of his speech. I thought he was ending his speech — his statement — but then I asked a question at the end and he turned his back on the reporters and walked away,” Munro said.
“Timing these things is a little awkward. He speaks very well, very smoothly — very nice delivery. It’s hard to know when he’s about to end. I thought he was going to end today. I asked my question too early. He rebuked me. Fair enough.”
Before coming to The Daily Caller, Munro worked at National Journal for over a decade. He has also reported for Defense News and Washington Technology. Judging from his experience, Munro says open press events at the White House are “well designed by the president and his staff.”
“He comes out of the Rose Garden, gives a short statement and then turns his back and walks away very quickly without taking questions,” he said. “Sometimes he takes questions. He took a question on Trayvon Martin in March. Sometimes these shouted questions at the end work — not today: He refused to answer an obvious and conventional question about the impact of his policy on American workers at a time of record unemployment.”
In the future, Munro hopes the White House will “arrange events so the reporters can ask the president or his senior staff about the important policy changes.”
Munro added that the administration normally selects which reporters are able to ask the president questions at press conferences beforehand.
“You can see the president at press conferences naming people who are to ask a question,” Munro said. “Other reporters sit around quietly not asking questions, not shouting questions because it risks their access to White House off the record comments and future chances of asking questions, but this is a very important issue. There’s no reason we should sit around and wait for another day for an answer on this important question.”
Published on Jun 15, 2012 by NewsPoliticsNow2
“Why’d you favor foreigners over Americans?” Munro shouted.
“Excuse me, sir, but it’s not time for questions,” Obama responded.
“Are you going to take questions?” Munro asked.
“Not while I’m speaking.” Obama said.
President Obama introduced his administration’s new policy granting qualified legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children in a Rose Garden statement interrupted by the heckling of a conservative reporter.
As the president, standing at a podium outside the White House, explained why he was implementing the policy, Daily Caller writer Neil Munro began to shout questions, asking why Obama would want foreigners in the country instead of giving jobs to Americans.
“It is not the time for questions. Not while I’m speaking,” the president, visibly irritated, said just five minutes into his speech.
After a pause, he continued to tout the new policy of suspending deportation actions against qualified students for two years and allowing them to instead apply for job permits. According to White House officials, those individuals would have to reapply after two years in the event Congress does not pass permanent legislation in the meantime.
Obama noted that his new policy could quickly be made permanent if Congress passed the stalled DREAM act, which would provide U.S. residency to immigrants who have a college education or served in the military.
“This is a temporary stop-gap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven, patriotic young people,” Obama said. “Precisely because this is temporary, Congress needs to act.”
A few minutes later, the heckler started up again, allowing Obama to even more forcefully make his point as he countered the shouting.
“And the answer to your question, sir,” he began, pointing his finger from the podium directly at Munro, “– and the next time I’d prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question — is this is the right thing to do for the American people.”
“If there’s a young person here who has grown up here and wants to contribute to this society, wants to maybe start a business that will create jobs for other folks who are looking for work, that’s the right thing to do,” he continued, at that point seeming to speak with the dual purpose of heralding the new policy and drowning the heckler out.

We will perform an oral cancer screening with the help of Velscope, a full periodontal assessment, a hard and soft tissue exam, and a quick TMJ screening.

Hockey is back. A jam-packed schedule that started this weekend sees the league’s top 24 teams begin the quest for an unorthodox Stanley Cup.
So while the hockey world is focused on the teams still in contention, let’s turn our attention to the Ottawa Senators and the other six loveable losers who won’t see the ice again until training camps open up in November. There’s still nothing to talk about for this season though, so we’ll find a player on each of the other non-playoff teams that the Sens could target in the off-season.
This will be harder than most similar exercises, as these teams are largely in similar positions to Ottawa, so they likely won’t be as interested in giving up young talent for immediate help. Still, there’s talent all over the league and Pierre Dorion will no doubt do his due diligence and leave no stone unturned when it comes to improving this team.

This will be the last time I write to you before your birthday. For the past ten months I've gotten to experience something amazing; something that I'd read and heard about from countless friends and family, seen on television shows and movies, studied in books, but I never understood it until I experienced it. Being pregnant is one of the most beautiful journeys I've ever been on. For 40 weeks I've grown you; half of your dad, and half of me. I've watched my stomach expand, and in turn, watched you grow, from a little tiny speck inside of my belly to a full-grown baby, ready to come out into the world. I've felt you move, kick, turn and toss. I've felt emotional, overcome with the idea that your papa and I have created this life, this person...you. There's been days where I just sit and look down at you, dreaming of all of the possibilities housed right inside of my body. I've nourished you, kept you safe, rubbed my stomach in the hopes that you could sense the love I was trying to send to you, and I've told you "I love you" more times than I can count.
The moment you are born, you are on your own path, but your father and I will always be with you every step of the way. These past months have been the happiest of our entire life, and I am sure that in the months and years to come, in the forever of our days, happiness is waiting for us.
As this phase ends, another begins. And although you won't physically be inside of my body anymore, I feel like I will always carry a part of you with me, as your mother. Wherever I go, and wherever you go, your heart is in mine.
So with that, I leave you with one of my favorite poems by e.e. cummings to commemorate these 40 weeks:
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
I love you sweet boy, and I cannot wait to meet you.

The doctor not only hold degrees in both medicine and law, she's been the object of Jack's sexual desire for quite some time. Faced with a stiff prison sentence on trumped up charges, he jumps at the doctor's advice, and agrees to serve his time in a women's prison. However, once behind bars, his nightmare takes some grisly turns. The wardeness, Miss Moosewood, is his dyke-ish gym teacher from junior high, and he's now 'Jackie' not Jack, forced to wear dresses as he serves a life sentence without parole. The feminized Jackie soon becomes Miss Moosewood's head maid and her favorite playtoy - though playing with the wardeness is not much fun! The beatings and punishments are severe, and his systematic feminization at the hands of the adored Dr. Nussbaum takes some shocking twists. He can only wonder what's behind this diabolical scheme. He's whored out to female prison 'daddys' and their talk of castration is no idle threat. Any hope for salvation seems to be dwindling fast, until an unexpended twist of fate sends the hapless Jackie hurdling in a new direction of submission and servitude to the superior females who own his very existence.

On Saturday, Udupi BJP MLA K Raghupathi Bhat said that he has been receiving life-threatening calls from unidentified persons amid the Karnataka hijab row. He added that most of the calls received by him were internet calls from foreign countries.
According to the reports, the Udupi MLA has also received calls from local numbers issuing threats to his life and has informed the state Home Minister about the development. He said that he has faced many such threats in the past and is not at all scared about such calls.
This is a day after Bhat, who is the president of the development committee of the pre-university college for women in Udupi, revealed the role of Campus Front of India (CFI) in the hijab controversy and stated that the girls were innocent but under their influence and control. He has also demanded an NIA probe into the case.
#WATCH Karnataka | “CFI (Campus Front of India) wants political gain. Our 6 girls are innocent but in their control. They had special training in a hidden place: K Raghupathi Bhat, BJP’s Udupi MLA & president of college development committee at Women’s Govt PU College#HijabRow pic.twitter.com/PDHNrTVhQD— ANI (@ANI) February 12, 2022
Reports mention that Muslims in Udupi and the Qazis in the district have extended their support to the legislator on the issue. Earlier today, the Udupi MLA wrote to the state CM seeking an investigation by the National Investigation Agency into the hijab controversy.
On the entire hijab episode, the Udupi MLA has constantly been of the opinion that the pro-hijab girls and their parents are innocent but unfortunately under their (CFI) control. “The social media accounts of the students also reveal the Islamic agenda. All the posts against Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir, rebuilding Babri Masjid have been forwarded and posted. The girls have undergone a special training conducted by them”, he said.
He added that the girls are lying about wearing hijab for years at school and that they had suddenly started the hijab issue. The hijab controversy gained ground earlier this month when eight hijab-wearing Muslim girls refused to follow the school uniform regulations. They approached the Karnataka High Court seeking permission to attend the classes with hijab, as it is their fundamental right, they said.
The High Court so far has declared that no one should be allowed to wear their religious attire inside the educational institutions until the matter is pending in the Court. After this stay order, the students had approached the Supreme Court against it, however, the Supreme Court refused to interfere in the matter till the High Court disposes of it.

Yeah, baby! This was a wonderful evening when I tried on my dress muslin. I just had to pin out a smidge of extra at the top edge in the back with the princess seams.
I transferred 2" of extra fabric (upper edge gape) to the side seam as a horizontal bust dart, among the other alterations I listed in my previous post today. I tried it on and was thrilled with the alterations made on the tissue and whipped up with this muslin.
Tomorrow I'll tweak the back princess seams in tissue on the back bodice, draft a partial lining, and get right to work. Just can't wait to wear this dress next week!
Here are the muslin previews. It does look better on me I think. My bust is filling out the dress better than my dress form and I didn't clip my curves, nor press anything.

CHEYENNE - One month after plans to add a Camping World retail location in Sidney were put on hold, the recreational vehicle retailer announced Thursday they'll be developing a new super center store in southeast Wyoming.
Wyoming's first Camping World location will be located on nine acres of land near Interstate 80 in Cheyenne. It'll feature a wide range of new and used RVs, outdoor products and accessories. It's expected to open late this year or in early 2022.
“Each location we open across the U.S. represents significant economic impact for the communities and convenient customer service and products for the 5.3 million active customers we serve," Camping World Holdings CEO and Chairman Marcus Lemonis said. "We are looking forward to developing this land and making Cheyenne our new home.”
Lemonis told News Channel Nebraska in early March plans to build a 30,000-40,000 square-foot Camping World retail store in Sidney have been paused, but he was "still focused on coming to Sidney."
He also announced plans to manufacture RV mattresses at the old Cabela's Distribution Center west of Sidney, and create a third party logistics company (3PL) to help small businesses distribute their products nationwide.
Camping World has 170 locations across the United States, with plans for another store in Lincoln.

Hope Social Media Intervention for HIV Testing and Studying Social Networks
Abstract: In a randomized controlled trial, with 6-month and 1-year follow-up, this application aims to evaluate whether the Harnessing Online Peer Education (HOPE) social media intervention can be used to increase HIV self- testing among African American and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM), and to analyze the changing social network characteristics of participants in this intervention. Innovative approaches to HIV prevention and treatment are critical in the attempt to control the spread of HIV, especially among African American and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM), who are at the highest risk for HIV. Community-based HIV prevention strategies, such as peer leader diffusion models, have been successful in spreading HIV-risk behavior reductions, but require time and economic resources. With the recent increase in social media usage among African American and Latino MSM, social media and online social networks such as Facebook might be used to efficiently and cost-effectively deliver evidenced-based, peer-led HIV prevention interventions. Advances in testing technology, such as home-based HIV testing, can be integrated into an online HIV prevention intervention to allow participants to anonymously test for HIV without risking the stigmatization associated with in-person testing. Because social networking interventions provide rich data on social network characteristics (e.g., the number of friends participants make over time, content of health communication within online networks), this information can be recorded and used to improve intervention delivery. Results from our Los Angeles HOPE pilot study have already demonstrated a) the feasibility and acceptability of using social networking technologies to deliver peer-led HIV prevention among African American and Latino MSM, b) interest in home-based HIV testing among these populations, and c) the relationship between social network dynamics and HIV prevention behavior change. However, additional research is needed with a larger sample to determine the large-scale effectiveness of using social media to increase HIV testing and linkage to care among African American and Latino MSM. In this study, HIV negative African-American and Latino MSM will be invited to join an online (private) Facebook group related to HIV prevention and interact with peer leaders trained in HIV prevention over 12 weeks, with 6-month and 1-year follow-up. Compared to control group participants receiving 12 weeks of peer- delivered general health information over Facebook groups, we predict that participants receiving 12 weeks of peer-delivered HIV prevention information will be more likely to take a home-based HIV test. We will also measure participants’ social network data to assess the relationship between changing social network dynamics (e.g., density, network size) and intervention effects.

Determining and documenting Goals of Care at every admission is important to ensure appropriate medical treatment is provided to our patients at any time.
To avoid unnecessary ICU referrals, code blues and MET calls, all patients must have Goals of Care documented clearly in GOC-SF in EMR on admission.
Any limitations of care (GOC-B, C or D) must be approved by the consultant as soon as practicable and reasons clearly documented and discussed with the patient and family.
For Patients whose Goals of Care are Supportive or Palliative (Goals of Care C) the option for MET Call is being removed.
For these patients:
- Deterioration must trigger a clinical review by the home team. After hours such review would be provided by the most senior doctor on duty who is encouraged to discuss with the consultant on call.
- Home team may consult the relevant medical or surgical team as well as ICU for advice.
- At later phases of the pandemic, if ICU capacity is overwhelmed, ICU may not be able to provide advice and support.
This change will be effective from 15 April 2020.
The relevant PROMPT documents are being updated and will be communicated to all clinical staff over the coming days.

The Connecticut River log drives were the longest in America. Every year, river men drove over a quarter of a million spruce logs 300 miles from the river’s headwaters near Quebec to sawmills in Massachusetts. The drive began in April, and the logs reached the sawmills at Riverside (Turners Falls, MA), Mt. Tom (the Northampton Oxbow) and Holyoke in August.
In many places the river bed of the Connecticut is a museum of log drive artifacts: lost tools, whiskey bottles, boom chains, log cribs that anchored booms, sunken bateaus and even the occasional spruce log have been found by divers. Exploration of these sites is what inspired this documentary. View an online gallery of archival log drive photos.
Ed Klekowski uses underwater footage of log drive sites, historical photographs, early film footage, contemporary newspaper accounts, and personal reminiscences to tell the story of the Connecticut River log drives.

Despite the protests, arrangements for the deportation of illegal refugees to Rwanda in the UK continue to defy protests. The court rejected the public’s urgent request that immigration policy be run by politicians.
Several British charities are planning to appeal the decision.
“This verdict is catastrophic and atrocious for asylum seekers. Said James Nicole, attorney in charge of the Care4Calais Foundation.
Despite the criticisms, Rwandan shelters are already ready to accommodate visitors. However, this does not guarantee human rights activists.
“While Britain has been criticizing the Rwandan government for not respecting human rights, it is still sending refugees here.
If the situation does not change by then, the flight to Kigali will pick up the illegal refugees from next Tuesday.

The importance of proper oral hygiene is constantly stressed. This is not just because a bright white smile is considered beautiful. The mouth-body connection is a serious issue that shouldn’t be overlooked. Essentially, the condition of your teeth and gums can significantly influence other things in your body. Diabetes, heart diseases, osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as possible lung disease and risk of premature birth, can all be related to your oral health, one way or the other. Keep on reading to find out more.
Let’s address the elephant in the room first. An increased risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke are extremely serious issues that can affect your longevity. So, how is it connected to your oral health? Basically, inflammations in your mouth can lead to inflammation of blood vessels. If your gums are inflamed this can cause serious issues with teeth nerves as well as blood vessels in the mouth. Bacteria and even plaque can travel to your heart and brain or damage your blood vessels. If you suffer from pain that’s consistent with gum/tooth inflammation it’s essential that you see your dentist as soon as possible. More precisely, a professional endodontist who specializes in fixing the issues with teeth pulp can take care of this problem for you. This can prevent heart attack and stroke. Therefore, once you feel the pain and notice mouth inflammations, go see your dentist straight away.
The link with diabetes
Patients with diabetes can suffer tooth loss as a consequence of this particular disease. However, there are various things related to your oral health that you shouldn’t ignore when it comes to diabetes. Poor oral hygiene and condition of your teeth and gums may not be the cause of diabetes. However, regular visits to the dentist can help you discover diabetes in its early stage. Moreover, if you’re diagnosed with diabetes, it’s essential that you take proper care of your teeth. Gum and teeth inflammations can disturb the levels of blood sugar, as well as slow down your body when it comes to insulin absorption. This can be quite a serious issue for people who already suffer from this disease.
Periodontitis and bone weakening
Just like poor oral health does not cause diabetes, periodontitis can’t be blamed for osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis either. However, some kind of connection is clearly there. Basically, your teeth are bones. The majority of patients who suffer from bone weakening in other parts of their bodies also suffer from bone loss in teeth. Therefore, taking care of your teeth, as well as regular dentist checkups, can help the patients take preventive measures and effectively fight bone weakening in general.
Because of the unbalanced hormone levels during pregnancy, pregnant ladies have higher risks of gum inflammation. By ignoring this issue during pregnancy, you put your child in danger. Basically, your immune system will try to fight this inflammation, but these body reactions can be dangerous for your baby’s health. In that respect, not only can inflamed gums pose a risk of premature delivery, but they can also prevent proper development and growth of the baby. Since oral health can affect your body like this during pregnancy, it’s essential that you pay extra attention to your dental hygiene and visit the dentist more often. What’s more, the way your body reacts to gum and teeth inflammation can prevent you from staying pregnant in the first place.
There are many factors that can cause respiratory issues, periodontitis undoubtedly being one of them. If you breathe in plaque particles and bacteria, they can travel straight to your lungs. This can cause breathing problems and increase the risk of chronic pneumonia as well.
As you can see, it is extremely important to do your best and try to maintain good dental hygiene. Effective oral hygiene as well as regular visits to the dentist won’t just brighten up your smile. Such responsible behavior will also improve your quality of life and help you stay healthy.

The True Cost Of Spray Foam Insulation…
Spray foam is an insulation for the long term. Unlike virtually all other insulation products available to homeowners, one of the key benefits of spray foam is its durability. It won’t shrink, slip or degrade as time goes by and as testament to its performance, we guarantee it for a period of 25 years with the expectation that it will live with the life of the property into which it’s installed.
The physical performance with spray foam is shown through its air-tightness. When spray is applied between roof rafters, underfloor or in walls, it expands to completely seal into the void. This makes it an air-tight insulator and it can reduce heat loss by up to 95% in comparison to having no insulation at all.
In terms of its actual cost saving, spray foam can save up to 45% on energy bills where there’s no insulation in-situ. In circumstances where there’s already insulation in place, spray foam can save up to 22% or more dependent on the depth and condition of insulation already in place. These figures vary from property to property and on average, we’ve found spray foam to save an average of 32% on heating costs giving it a pay back of between 4-6 years.
What does spray foam insulation cost?
Dependent on the size of your property and the condition of the substrate onto which spray foam is installed, the costs will vary as will the type of spray foam insulation that we can specify. When we are giving a price for ThermoFoam we are able to use the benefits of technology to find your property of Google Earth and from there we can use the Google measuring tool to provide a fairly accurate roof size.
The average UK residential property has a roof area of approximately 76 square metres and the determining factor of the cost of spray foam will depend on:
- Is there a roofing membrane?
- What condition is the membrane in?
- Is the membrane breathable or non breathable?
- How accessible is the entire roof area?
- Are the roof rafters in good condition?
- Are there signs of damp, mould or condensation?
- What’s the condition of the physical roof?
- What insulation is already in place?
A property survey is usually the best way for us to answer the above questions to determine whether your property is suitable for ThermoFoam and if so, whether it’s open-cell or closed-cell.
Open cell is less thermally efficient than closed cell which is why we apply at roughly double the thickness to maintain thermal performance. It’s lower in cost than closed-cell and is typically quicker to install, boasting the added benefit of a great barrier against sound transmission – beneficial if you live on a noisy street or under a flight path.
Closed cell is a high density insulator that offers exceptional thermal performance per inch whilst helping to stabilise the roof structure and providing a barrier against moisture ingress. Closed-cell can be applied direct to tile in circumstances where there is no roofing membrane of the roof tiles require bonding to prolong their life.T
It’s important to remember that spray foam is unlike any other insulation product. It offers premium, lifetime performance and is not made from cheap materials. Spray foam products should be installed by experienced technicians to maximise the benefits of the application. Once installed, the average saving of spray foam will be around 32%* against the costs of heating your home.
With the average UK home spending £676 on heating costs per annum, you should expect to see a payback within 4-6 years* and you will enjoy the full benefits of spray for at least 25 years. Your first step to taking control of your energy costs is to book a free, no obligation survey of your property to establish whether it’s suitable for ThermoFoam.
*Varies from property to property and is not the guaranteed performance

If you or a family member are coping with a food allergy, you may have encountered an oral food challenge at some point in your diagnosis or treatment. Food challenges are normally held in a doctor’s office or hospital whereby successive amounts of a suspected allergen are fed to a patient until the patient reacts or consumes an entire dose without a reaction. Should the patient react, medical staff must be on standby to deal with the symptoms of anaphylaxis which can be severe.
Despite the danger of a reaction, the oral food challenge is considered safe when properly administered and is currently the gold standard in determining whether one indeed has a true allergy. That said, the test itself can be anxiety inducing as the patient endures a waiting game to see if they will react.
Though there is no blood test currently available can reliably determine whether a food allergy is present, we previously reported on a test that was in development that could potentially determine the existence and severity of food allergy called the Basophil Activation Test (See “BAT II Study to Determine Effectiveness of ‘Food Challenge in a Test Tube’“)
Now, a new test is in development that boasts a 98% accuracy rate for determining peanut allergy while cutting the number of false-positives which may occur when a blood or skin-prick test indicates a food allergy despite the patient not reacting to the food. The researchers arrived at their findings after using blood samples from 174 children in the UK who were undergoing traditional allergy testing.
The new method, called a Mast Activation Test (MAT) was introduced in a study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Rather than focus directly on Immunoglobulin E (IgE), the antibody that indicates the possibility of an allergy, MAT focuses on the white blood cells that are activated when IgE is present.
The test would be used after a standard IgE blood test or skin-prick test determines that an allergy may be present, and could replace the oral food challenge as the determiner for whether an allergy truly exists.
Said Dr Alexandra Santos, the study’s lead author, to Newsweek:
This is something we cannot conclude with current tests, such as skin prick test and specific IgE, which are often positive in children that are not allergic.
In many cases, in order to reach an accurate diagnosis, we have to perform oral food challenges in hospitals, which are resource-intensive and can cause patients to experience allergic reactions nd thus create stress and are risky. The MAT is more accurate than current allergy tests and could enable us to reduce the number of patients needing challenges.
The team is currently working on tests for other common food allergies including milk and eggs.
Dr. Scott H. Sicherer, professor of pediatrics and director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai in New York and author of Food Allergies: A Complete Guide to Eating When Your Life Depends on It, told Newsweek that the new test is currently too labor-intensive, and further research is required before it can be added to current diagnostics.
“It looks like it may be a good research tool in the meantime,” said Dr Sicherer, who was not involved in the research.
We will follow the progress of MAT and report back with developments.

Arkansas House Passes Indiana-Style ‘Religious Freedom’ Bill
They can’t even look around and see what’s happening in this country. They can’t see how out of step this is. They can’t see even the business community objecting. They can’t see that no one is complaining about having their religious liberties compromised. But they do it anyway.
The bill, passed when the General Assembly concurred on three amendments from the State Senate, now goes to the state’s Republican governor, Asa Hutchinson, who expressed reservations about an earlier bill but more recently said he would sign the measure if it “reaches my desk in similar form as to what has been passed in 20 other states.” The Arkansas Senate passed the measure last week.
While there were several attempts up until the last minute to add a clause to the bill that would explicitly bar discrimination of gays and lesbians, a measure that Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana pledged to push through his Legislature, the sponsors of the bill in the Arkansas General Assembly rejected such moves.
”If you start shaving out exemptions in laws, next thing you know, you’ll gut the law because everyone will want an exemption,” said State Senator Bart Hester, a Republican and one if the bill’s lead supporters.
Business resistance to the bills in both states continued to ratchet up, with Gap and Levi Strauss joining Walmart, Apple, Yelp and other major corporations in expressing disapproval. On Monday, the chief executive of Acxiom, a marketing technology company based in Little Rock that employs nearly 1,600 statewide, urged the governor to veto a bill that was “a deliberate vehicle for enabling discrimination.”

Hi All! I’m Iréal Fusco, a pediatric resident training at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami. I’ve been very excited about participating in the Issa Trust Pediatric rotation as a way to expand my Pediatric training.
My first day was this last Friday, March 10th, 2017 at the A&E in Port Antonio. It was a long drive to the location but there was gorgeous scenery along the way. Mr. Campbell is an administrator at the hospital. He picked me up and drove me to the hospital himself!
Once there, I felt a bit like an intern all over again starting at a new place. I was thrown right in seeing patients so I had to learn how the system worked as I worked. The overall pathology was similar to what I’d see back home at our ER. There was a bronchiolitis that I wound up admitting for further treatment. Some viral URIs, Constipation, Hand, Foot and Mouth disease as well as an AGE.
There was an infant with a new onset fever after several days of URI & diarrhea who looked great but the fevers were high! I was concerned for UTI (especially with the large water stools she was having and I witnessed) but we didn’t have the bags available to get a urine specimen and there were no catheters. I had to make a decision on whether to treat empirically or manage conservatively. That was a tough one.
I had another young lady presented with severe left sided abdominal pain with difficulty ambulating. She was diffusely tender on exam but her pain localized to the left. Urine pregnancy was negative. Urine dipstick was WNL (no blood). No flank pain and denied constipation. She had me very concerned for a surgical emergency and I was unable to obtain ultrasound for diagnosis. After a bit of discussion we got a flat and upright abdominal X ray which showed a large stool burden and after a glycerin suppository she felt much better. She even ran up to hug me and said thank you before she left. It was a reminder that I am helping in some ways (even if I’m not as efficient in the setting I was in.)
Overall, I had a wonderful but busy day! Coupled with the long drive home, I didn’t have the energy to write this post that day, but I’m excited to explore the other two clinical sites!

Global migration has come to stay as an important geo-political issue. Whether as election campaign speeches, policymaking in times of a global slowdown or nationalistic concerns about preserving culture, global migration clearly is an issue that may even threaten diplomatic relations. Recent World Bank data revealed that remittance flows to developing countries are expected to cross $400 billion in 2012. Remittance to developing countries forms over 76% of the global remittances for 2012. According to data from the World Bank, over 215 million people live outside their country of origin—this is about 3% of the world population. Understanding global migration trends and their policy impact will require us to look beyond these macro indicators.
An important distinction that needs to be made in these debates is between skilled and unskilled migration. Depending on our position, we choose to concern ourselves with one or the other group of migrants. Often, policymakers of developing countries seem to be more concerned about the negative effects of migration of skilled professionals, while policymakers in the destination countries usually (in public) seem more concerned about the ‘unregulated inflow’ of unskilled migrants. This is on expected lines as researchers have claimed that high-skilled migrants bring more benefits to their destination countries while low-skilled migrants bring more benefits to their home countries. Thus, when attempting to understand the issues involved, we must also take into account, the impacts on the migrants (and their families if applicable) as well as the recipients of their remittances back in their home countries. Given the importance of remittances in the home countries, these conceptions need to be tested from time to time.
There have been heated debates on the subject of ‘brain drain’. As the term suggests (somewhat pejoratively), this refers purely to the migration of skilled professionals and policymakers in developing countries. For instance, last year, India’s Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad created a flutter with a proposal that Indian doctors travelling to the US for higher education would have to sign a bond promising to return to India after their studies. Across the developing world, there have been concerns raised about the migration of skilled medical professionals migrating in search of greener pastures. However, research has shown that the availability of the option to migrate may result in an improvement in the stock of skilled workers in the home country. This, they found, was primarily driven by the anticipation of the opportunity to migrate to lucrative opportunities abroad. Research by Michael Clemens (of the Centre for Global Development, a leading US-based think-tank) claims that African countries that experience the largest outflow of doctors and nurses in fact have better health conditions than other countries in the continent. It must be noted though that it is likely that countries that see higher rates of emigration by medical professionals have better health infrastructure (including training and healthcare) in the first place.
Another important aspect of this debate is the role of global migration in times of economic crisis. Research compiled in the book, ‘Migration and Remittances during the Global Financial Crisis and Beyond’ (2012), demonstrates how migrant remittances to developing countries continued to remain strong. Data used in the book shows that for the top seven destinations of remittance inflows, remittance inflows remained strong barring a minor blip in 2008. Correspondingly, the data shows that the outflow of remittances from the top six migration destinations continued to be nearly equal or was higher in 2011 compared to the figures prior to 2007. These figures throw up several interesting questions: How do these figures look when mapped against GDP figures in these countries for the said years? What is the dominant profile of immigrants in these countries—are they mostly skilled or unskilled? The answers to these questions would help us understand the impact of global migration.
These are primarily economic impacts of global migration and needless to say, there are manifold political and social impacts that are of interest to policymakers and researchers. The gains and losses from global migration need to be weighed carefully. Unfortunately, the public discourse on migration is dominated by political rhetoric. As with other key drivers of global development, we must keep pressing for policymaking on global migration to be evidence-driven.

What is it that would make a Black person think their lives are so much busier than the next person when it comes to voting? I couldn’t believe it when I heard a Black man say in the grocery store, “Well, I’m just gonna send my vote in early. I don’t wanna wait in that long line.” Seriously? As I recall, your ancestors and others that probably aren’t that much older than you are today had to stand in lines to be told they couldn’t come in to a certain place or that they had to enter from the back of the house or building. Now mind you, I saw no debilitating ailment that this man possessed, just the ignorance that was placed upon his chest and forehead by someone who told him it was probably better that way. Whenever I tried to look him in his eyes, he more than shied away from me. It was almost as if he tried to run without moving. He shrugged. He averted. He diverted. He cussed under his breath. He cussed out loud as he spoke about the mistake he made in the last election, anyway. I refused to move. I acknowledged him the only way I could, for that moment, until his breath ran out. And, when I heard those most hateful and despicable words that could comprise a phrase, “What difference does it make anyway?,” I pounced.
It was pretty easy, I must say, getting this gentleman to talk to me. He seemed very proud to be the first of seven children to send his only child to college on a janitor’s salary assisted by a criminal justice degree from a reputable four-year college. His devotion and loyalty to a childhood friend who died at the hand of a law official is how he attributes his abandoning his dream position in law enforcement. As a janitor, he felt safe. There, he did not pose a threat to anyone nor would anyone threaten him as long as he relied on tunnel vision. He was well past retirement age and didn’t find it hard to understand how compromises were made for him to be able to make the choice to become a janitor; though there are those who consider themselves custodial engineers (without a legitimate four-year college degree). The pride he had for his only daughter showed proudly on his face as the clouds could nearly touch his chest. Letters were written by him to the news stations and local newspapers about issues that concerned not only himself, but members of his church and study group; he started a book club that has been in session for five years. While we stood there talking in the poultry section, I became engrossed in the presence of a rock star. Everybody knew this guy and he knew them. The crowd could associate the name with the face. The letters he wrote couldn’t do that. Come to find out, the gentleman never forwarded a letter under his real name. He said he just didn’t want the attention. Suddenly, I felt like I needed medication. Here it is, a well-educated, most literate (articulate sounds so insulting for a man of color who has graduated even from high school) man did not want to be acknowledged for his own efforts. Was this cowardice or arrogance? Just because he was Black, I came to understand that he could also have an air of arrogance. After all, he was human.
Although he probably wasn’t in the hunt for a new position anywhere, I suggested that he must have a pretty remarkable resume. Alright, so there was a little sarcasm in there only because of his expressed phobia. Yes, he did have a phobia that he hadn’t allowed a therapist the privilege of knowing. He allowed another person’s demise stifle him. The man had become complacent and had convinced himself that he deserved to be behind the scenes. And there he stayed for years, but popular for just his presence. “Do you know what an employer does with a résumé that has too many errors?” I asked. “Why, I have heard it goes in the garbage can,” he replied demandingly. “Then, why can’t you see the possibility of the same thing happening to your vote whether it’s electronic or absentee?” I said. It took him a minute, but he got it. The man understood that his presence was needed in order to make sure his vote really counted. The many possibilities of errors occurring never occurred to him. And, in the way he would write letters, he said that he didn’t want his friends to think differently of him. I was floored! This brilliant man before me – this rock star personality was afraid to show that he played an integral part in the universe. Not only was he content with being behind the scenes, he was content with being someone turned something else. When I asked him how his daughter felt about what he does, I could see the river start to flow. Yet, he was talking to me in a grocery store as if I could have been his best friend. She didn’t know he was the anonymous local celebrity who was relevant. He was so pleased to have discussions about the writer’s topics. She was amazed at how much knowledge he had on each subject. He looked forward to their continued talks once she got settled into college. The hug I received from this man was one I will never forget. I don’t know if he’d ever say that he had a therapy session with me, but I can say I had one with him. There is a reason for everything. Every single person on this planet has feelings. And one person’s phobia may seem so small to the rest of us. The thought of trying to remain anonymous is one thing. But, when we do it for the wrong reason really cripples us and those who care about us. When messages of positivity are sent out into the universe, I think the universe wants to reward that energy with positive energy. We all know what happens when hate is cast into the air…there is but despair.
To be sure his vote counts, he will get in line instead of trying to vote early or by absentee ballot. By being present, he could see the confirmation for himself. He will make sure this potential cycle is broken with his daughter. I will continue to see people as people and know that they all have a story to tell. But why I chose him to accost and talk to him didn’t make sense to me until I thought we were about to part. Looking at my watch, it was now 3:30 in the afternoon. I arrived at 3:00. I felt like at least a couple of hours had gone by. Then suddenly, I got my answer. “You know, you look just like my buddy that passed away years ago. Would you like to see his picture?” he said smiling. “Sure.” I was speechless! The resemblance was uncanny. Everything made sense. I guess we both did exactly what we were supposed to do that day. How could we not be friends after that? I didn’t need a copy of that picture because I felt like it was me looking back at myself. Talk about timing. While he was sending his only child off to learn a new lesson, we both learned one in just that short time.

Kristin Chenoweth loves playing dress up almost as much as she loves her assistant Julie Trussell. Or is it the other way around?
In the season 10 premiere of Say Yes to the Dress, Chenoweth, 45, takes over the bridal salon, enthusiastically picking out the dresses that she prefers for Trussell's upcoming nuptials.
"I'm saying yes to your dress," Chenoweth jokes. And her assistant, who clearly doesn't mind Chenoweth's intervention, eggs her on. "Why don't you go try this dress on, and then I can see what it looks like on you and I'll see," Trussell says.

Oklahoma's star contingent is showing its love for the victims of the recent deadly tornado that killed 24 people and injured 240.
Among the many generous showbiz names is Carrie Underwood, who on Thursday announced a $1 million donation to the Red Cross from her "Blown Away" tour's concert receipts.
"I have watched the devastation in my home state of Oklahoma over the past several days with great sadness," Underwood said in a statement. "With the help of my fans who attended my concerts over the past year, we can offer the Red Cross a little extra help in comforting those affected by the recent tornados."

It was a great night for music at the Academy Awards on Sunday – particularly for the ladies.
But who really knocked it out of the park?
Jennifer Hudson's performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" brought the audience to its feet, while Barbra Streisand delivered a wonderful tribute to Marvin Hamlisch with her rendition of "The Way We Were."

Hosting the Oscars, they say, is a thankless job. So, Seth MacFarlane, thanks for nothing.
This isn't to say he can be blamed for a long evening that seemed to be devoted more to singing than handing out awards.
On the other hand, he doesn't get credit for the show's best moments, either: Adele's powerful performance of "Skyfall," Daniel Day-Lewis's charmingly stiff humor in his acceptance speech for Lincoln – it was so like Abe! – or Michelle Obama's surprising and generous gesture: appearing via satellite to announce the Best Picture winner.

Kristin Chenoweth and her Maltese Maddie are a high-flying team – most of the time.
The actress was recently departing a flight from Dallas, Texas, when an American Airlines attendant refused her entry on board the plane because of her canine companion.
Though Chenoweth insisted she had all of the necessary paperwork, the airline employee went on to scold the star in front of other passengers at the boarding gate, before an official realized a mistake had been made and allowed the actress and Maddie to board.
