Inclusion and diversity are not destinations – they’re the values that guide us on our journey. From the beginning, Intouch has strived to build a community of diverse employees because we believe it equips us with greater empathy and the insights needed to better serve patients of all kinds.
Creating a sense of belonging at any company requires leadership buy-in. It was no surprise, then, that members of our own executive team offered a resounding gesture of support when they attended, and spoke at, Intouch Chicago’s March Sunnyside Up lecture series last month. Other agency leaders, plus Intouchers at all levels, also participated in a Women’s History Month edition that took the form of a candid panel discussion moderated by guest host and award-winning diversity leader, Veronica S. Appleton, MA. Panelists included Intouch founder and CEO Faruk Capan; human resources EVP Kristi Veitch; Betsy Kramer, SVP Client Services; EVP of Innovation, Justin Chase; and group account director Jennifer Peeples.
Women’s History Month — which started in 1980 when then-president Jimmy Carter issued a Presidential Proclamation designating March 2-8 as National Women’s History Week — commemorates and encourages the study, observance and celebration of the vital roles women have played in American history. In our panel discussion, we aimed to not only acknowledge the value women bring to Intouch, but also to expand on that with a broader discussion about diversity and inclusion, and what we can do to foster even more inclusiveness at Intouch.
The designation of a safe space to speak honestly about our differences was inspirational for attendees. Many members of the audience asked questions that prompted personal anecdotes from the panelists — which in turn helped listeners understand their colleagues more deeply than before. For example, our EVP of Innovation, Justin Chase shared a story from a time he felt inferior because of cultural differences – we’ve all been there at least once. Betsy Kramer, SVP Client Services, who’s one of many women in leadership at Intouch, admitted to recently getting extremely frustrated after experiencing microaggressions as one of the first and only women coaches in her kid’s sports league.
Stories like the ones shared during the panel help reinforce the connection between what we do and why we do it.
Intouch is on a journey. Together with our clients, Intouch is working to minimize the impact of unmitigated, unconscious bias against the people we serve, not just within the organization but the communities of patients who are most vulnerable simply because they are different.
When we consider the essence of Women’s History Month, our work is reaffirmed — we are on the right path of disrupting bias to unleash every individual’s full potential.

Talvin Singh in Conversation
May 12, 2017 06:00 PM
End: May 12, 2017 08:00 PM
Location: IAS Common Ground, Ground Floor, South Wing, Wilkins Building
Musician, programmer and producer Talvin Singh, winner of the 1999 Mercury Music Prize, will be in conversation with Tariq Jazeel in an event hosted by the IAS in collaboration with the Centre for the Study of South Asia. The event is sponsored by and part of UCL Grand Challenges’ India Voices programme.
Singh will discuss his current and early work, the role of creativity, experimentation and fluidity in his music, as well as its broader relevance for Britain’s South Asian diaspora, for British multiculture more generally, and in India and beyond. He will also be playing tabla and some previously unreleased recorded tracks. The event will be followed by a wine reception.
Talvin Singh was born in London in the early 1970s. His upbringing in London and his early exposure to Indian classical and folk music were amongst his early influences. His musical tastes ranged from Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha Khan to local bands like the Jam. It was this diverse appreciation for music that inspired him to seriously consider training in tabla, which he did at the age of 15 when he travelled to India and established what has become a lifelong commitment to learning the instrument with Pandit Lachman Singh Seen in the Punjab. By the age of 18, Singh was soon in high demand in London as studio musician, programmer, producer and tabla artist on the late 1980s underground scene. He collaborated with artists such as Sun Ra, Massive Attack, Bjork, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
As the early 90s urban club and music scene rapidly progressed, Talvin's club night - Anokha, hosted at the Blue Note Club in Hoxton Square - hosted early experiments with an emerging British-Asian sound. He provided platforms for new acts such as Asian Dub Foundation, Joi and the State of Bengal, as well as introducing the music of A. R. Rahman to a European audience for the first time. Singh conceived and licensed a compilation album, “Anokha: Soundz of Asian Underground”, which was received to instant acclaim and remains a landmark record. His club-night became the stomping ground for tastemakers, clubbers and record label A&R reps. The highly evolved melody and complex rhythmic intensity of Indian classical music meeting the technology and gritty electronica in Jungle began a music sub-genre with which Talvin Singh is synonymous: the sound of an Asian Underground.
Island Records offered Talvin a world-wide recording deal, and Singh's 1999 debut solo album “OK” won the celebrated Mercury Music Prize and South Bank Prize that year. Talvin Singh continues to write and produce music, and to work as a music director for various creative projects. He is one of the UK’s most influential and innovative musicians, and his work has been instrumental in bringing South Asian aesthetics into British popular culture and beyond.

“The aim was to create a long-term training school for fighters in South America, not a guerrilla center,” the author explained at the headquarters of the Vice Presidency of the Plurinational State, after being introduced by Ambassadors Ariel Basteiro (Argentina) and Danilo Sanchez (Cuba).
In the presence of the children of guerrilla martyrs, former ministers, a significant representation of the accredited diplomatic corps, representatives of social organizations, intellectuals, and other guests, Berlusconi referred to the testimony given to him by Bolivian Army Major, Rubén Sánchez.
The book’s writer stated that Sánchez, who was in that camp because he was ambushed and captured by the guerrillas, bases this untold story on experiences.
Berlusconi recalled that the struggle for the liberation of Argentina was Che’s ultimate goal. Still, he also sought to bring a new perspective that he tried to transmit to his comrades from other Latin American countries present there.
The writer concluded by saying that “Fifty-six years after the fall of Che and his comrades in the Bolivian heroic act, Our America needs to recover those ideas and embrace ourselves once again with less internal divisions so as to achieve a more united continent to face the common enemy.”

Will going to the movies ever be the same as it was in 2019? The recent troubles at theater chain AMC (NYSE:AMC) suggest otherwise. The company’s recent move to convert its preferred equity units—otherwise known as APEs (NYSE:APE)—into common stock is proving to be much more of a struggle than expected. AMC is down significantly in Tuesday’s trading, but APE is up substantially.
The latest move features AMC planning a shareholder meeting that will feature three proposals. The first proposal focuses on an increase in the total number of AMC shares. If successful, shares will go from 524,173,073 to 550,000,000. The second proposal seeks to approve a one-for-10 reverse stock split that converts APEs to AMC common stock. The third was more of a procedural matter, allowing for adjournments of the special meeting to get more shareholder votes.
The plan to convert APEs to AMC stock has some surprising support. B.Riley Securities analyst Eric Wold suggested that the move was a huge opportunity to pull in cash. APE unit holders, Wold noted, hold 64% of combined holdings. This makes the proposals ultimately likely to go through. With the movie theater industry starting to come back from the COVID-19 responses that shut down theaters, the ability to raise a lot of cash quickly could give AMC a leg up.
Despite Wold’s enthusiasm, however, Wall Street as a whole doesn’t hold out much hope. Analyst consensus calls AMC stock a Moderate Sell with an average price target of $2.53, implying 49.04% downside risk.

Typically referred to as a stun gun, electroshock weapons are a relative of livestock prods, which have actually been around for over 100 years and are the precursor of stun weapons. Necessary to the operation of electroshock, stun weapons and cattle prods is enough present to enable the weapon to stun. The maximum effective areas for stun gun usage are upper shoulder, listed below the rib cage, and the upper hip.
Many of the states enable these devices to be utilized in their jurisdiction, however some states restrict their use. The states of RI, NY, MA, MI, IL, CT, and HI are states where these products are restricted.
After the trainees were shocked, the scientists tested the individuals' cognitive abilities 10 minutes later, an hour later on, a day after and a week after. "We were taking a look at, how long does it consider them to go back to baseline, presuming there is a change?" Kane stated.
A stun gun is a self-defense item that can be utilized to stop another person who is assaulting you. It utilizes high voltage energy to quickly paralyze the attacking individual.
Attackers neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and managed by the EID, disorientation, and vertigo take place and direct voluntary muscle movement is lost. Must you reach the body of the opponent, no current will travel through your system.
The very first stun gun was in fact a stun glove and used an electrical present that added a tube into a glove. This device was initially developed in the 1930's however never actually captured on. It wasn't till the 1960's that the stun gun actually got rolling when the Taser was created.
Most of the states allow these devices to be utilized in their jurisdiction, but some states limit their use. The states of RI, NY, MA, MI, IL, CT, and HI are states where these products are restricted. Before buying it would be an excellent idea to examine whether there are any limitations in the location in which you live. Your local police department would be an excellent place to get information like this.
One to two seconds can trigger muscle convulsions and a dazed frame of mind. Over 3 seconds can trigger loss of balance and muscle control, mental confusion, and disorientation. Understand that 3 seconds is rather a very long time when in a physical battle.
The 2 terms are typically used interchangeably, stun guns are in fact direct contact weapons that work mainly through discomfort compliance by affecting the sensory nervous system. It can likewise trigger some muscular interruption, but that usually needs 3-5 seconds of direct contact. In comparison, the Taser is a long variety weapon that disables the target by disrupting voluntary muscular control through the motor nerve system.
The stun gun typically has a very high voltage, however the amperage is very low so as not to cause irreversible injury, although the procedure can be really uncomfortable for the assaulter. The person getting the voltage can be handicapped for approximately 30 minutes.
A stun gun is an excellent, safe device that can be utilized in scenarios where an instant safety situation requires fast action in order to neutralize an assaulter. This device is best for such a circumstance.
A stun gun's effectiveness can differ depending on the particular gun model, the size of the person being zapped and the period of the real zap. If you utilize the gun for half a 2nd, an uncomfortable shock will shock the person. If you zap him or her for one or 2 seconds, he or she need to experience muscle spasms and end up being stunned.
The net effect of this is basically harmless. After the electrical energy leaves the body, muscle and neurological activity go back to normal. This is why stun weapons release periodic blasts of electrical energy to keep the foe crippled. After duplicated shocks, the foe might be tired however not completely damaged.
Attackers neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and managed by the EID, disorientation, and loss of balance happen and direct voluntary muscle motion is lost. Must you make contact with the body of the enemy, no current will travel through your system.

Fencing, art of attack and defense with a sword or similar weapon. Modern fencing
is a recreational and competitive sport, but its rules and techniques are derived
from those originally developed for efficient swordplay in dueling (see Duel).
During the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century) the sword was an offensive weapon
used for cracking armor, and the shield was used as a defense. After gunpowder came
into general use, heavy defensive armor became obsolete, and the sword became a defensive
as well as an offensive weapon. In the 16th century the rapier was introduced in
Italy, and the art of fencing was rapidly systematized in fencing schools. A dagger
in the other hand, and later a folded cloak, replaced the shield.
Fencing, which is also known as modern fencing to distinguish it from historical
fencing, is a family of combat sports using bladed weapons.
Foil—a light thrusting weapon that targets the torso, including the back and shoulders,
but not the arms. Touches are scored only with the tip; hits with the side of the
blade do not count, and do not halt the action. Touches that land outside of the
target area (off-target) stop the action, and not scored. Only a single hit can be
scored by either fencer at one time. If both fencers hit ...

This article describes the Ranger build. For info on Ranger lore, see here.
The Ranger is a Paladin build, using Bows or Crossbows as a weapon (mostly crossbows). This build uses its Aura to increase damage. Depending on the weapon (and its mods) you use, you might settle for Fanaticism or Conviction.
A popular weapon for this build is the Buriza-Do Kyanon, a unique crossbow with mods, primarily used to slow your enemies down.
Though this build has a lot of style, it's hard to play: You won't have a special attack on the left-click button and Paladins don't have any skills (apart from the Aura) that support ranged weapons (no multiple shots, no guided shots, no further bonuses...). Because of this, the Ranger could been seen as the successor of the Rogue class from the original game.

A Rutherglen nursery pupil has tested positive for the coronavirus.
NHS Lanarkshire confirmed the news earlier this afternoon.
The pupil, at Ace Place nursery in Rutherglen, is self-isolating and NHS Lanarkshire’s Test and Protect service is in the process of tracing close contacts of the case who are being given public health advice and being told to self-isolate.
There is currently no evidence to suggest that there is transmission in the nursery and the risk to the wider community remains low.
All parents and staff of the nursery have been notified and the nursery is still open.
Dr Josephine Pravinkumar, NHS Lanarkshire consultant in public health medicine, said: “We are aware that there will be concern among both children and their parents at this time. We would like to reassure the local community there is currently no evidence of transmission in schools or nurseries and that appropriate measures are being implemented.
“Individuals should stay off nursery, school or work and get tested if they or their close contacts experience any Covid-19 symptoms, such as a cough, fever or loss of taste or smell, even if they are mild.
“We want to take this opportunity to remind people of measures to minimise the risk of Covid-19. These include physical distancing and regular handwashing.”
Information on how to access testing is available from NHS Inform.

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian government approved a bill to establish the Armed Forces Marine Industries Organization in a move to enhance the country’s deterrence and military power.
The ratification was approved during a cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday.
The cabinet ratification is aimed at developing deterrence capabilities and providing the defensive needs of the Iranian Armed Forces to surface and subsurface vessels, Surface-Effect Ships (SES), speed boats, and dynamic power systems as well as manufacturing, supplying and optimizing equipment and weapons mainly through home-grown and indigenized technologies, and conducting operational tests and providing logistic services based on new standards.
In August, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan underlined Iran’s self-sufficiency in the marine industry.
“We can design 500-ton submarines from top to toe and we are moving towards new propulsion systems to decrease the noise and increase their durability in water,” Dehqan said, addressing a ceremony to unveil two new home-made cruise missiles and two new drones in Tehran participated by President Hassan Rouhani and other senior officials.
Also, a senior Iranian military official announced in October the country’s self-sufficiency in building light submarines, adding that Iran plans to unveil new submarines soon.
There are three classes of submarines, Head of the Navy’s Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Office General Ali Gholamzadeh said, adding that Iran had attained self-sufficiency in building “light” submarines.
He also said that Iran would unveil a home-made semi-heavy submarine in the coming months, and announced, “We are designing and building heavy and semi-heavy submarines, and the Fateh (Conqueror) submarine will be unveiled this (Iranian calendar) year (ending March 20, 2015),”
Also in September, Gholamzadeh announced the country’s plans to launch Fateh submarines and different Mowj Class destroyers in the near future.
“We will soon launch the Fateh class submarines and the second, third, fourth and fifth version of Mowj class destroyers, and one of them will be unveiled this year,” he said in a press conference in Tehran.
Asked if Iran is capable of building heavier and bigger destroyers than its first home-made destroyer, ‘Jamaran’, he said, “Now that we have acquired the know-how to build destroyers, there is no doubt that we can construct destroyers better than Jamaran.”
Gholamzadeh said Damavand destroyer is more equipped than Jamaran, although Jamaran itself has also been equipped with a number of Damavand’s equipment, including ‘Asr’ radar system.
He also announced that the construction of Fateh, a semi-heavy submarine with abundant possibilities, had ended, and the vessel is now under tests.
Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari announced in August that the country had gained the capability to launch production line of destroyers, and also announced plans to launch a new submarine in the near future.
“Today, the Navy has acquired the capability to launch the production line of destroyers and our project for building destroyers has started at the order of the Supreme Leader since a while ago and we are witnessing newer and more updated achievements in this project now,” Sayyari told reporters in Tehran.
He said that Iran’s new destroyer named Sahand is 30% more advanced than the country’s first destroyer, Jamaran.
Sayyari also said that Iran would launch its new submarine, Fateh, on the Navy Day (November 28).
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
Sayyari in July announced the Iranian Navy’s plans to launch one of its advanced home-made destroyers, named Damavand, in the country’s territorial waters in the near future.
“Destroyer Damavand will join the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Navy in the near future,” Sayyari told FNA.
Tehran launched an arms development program during the 1980-88 Iraqi imposed war on Iran to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and fighter planes.
Yet, Iranian officials have always stressed that the country’s military and arms programs serve defensive purposes and should not be perceived as a threat to any other country.
In June 2013, Iran launched its overhauled and modernized destroyer named Bayandor in the Southern waters of the country in the presence of Army Commander Major General Ataollah Salehi and Rear Admiral Sayyari.
Army officials said the Iranian Navy’s power of safeguarding the country’s territorial waters as well as maintaining security in regional and international waters will increase after the launch of Bayandor.
Overhauling the main engines, heat exchangers and fuel and oil systems as well as optimizing the monitoring control systems are among the measures adopted before launching the destroyer.
Navy experts have also mounted a fire control system for the destroyer’s weapons, a 76-mm and a 40-mm canons and a surface-to-surface Nour (Light) missile system on the destroyer.
Iran’s first home-made destroyer, Jamaran, was launched in late February 2010. The Mowdge Class vessel has a displacement of around 14,000 tons and is equipped with modern radars and electronic warfare capabilities and is armed with a variety of anti-ship, surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles.

When you hit the gym, hit up a yoga class, or go for a run chances are that you are wearing some sort of athletic clothing. That’s because you want something comfortable that you are able to move freely in without worrying of being exposed. You want to wear something that doesn’t take away your concentration. It’s only natural. Women all over are turning to athletic clothing as part of their daily dressing routine. It’s easy to see why. It’s so simple to just toss on a pair of leggings, a t-shirt, and some sneakers. It’s a lot easier to get things done when your dressed for comfort and not style.
It seems that wearing athletic clothing for day to day errands is becoming more socially acceptable as well. There is now a style to describe that. It’s called athleisure and it’s basically dressing up your athletic wear. It makes it so it’s socially acceptable to wear athletic clothing during everyday errands.
Athleisure is slowly over taking a fancier wardrobe and some companies are seeing a decline in their sales. According to Elle, people are flocking towards athleisure because it’s more comfortable. Companies like Fabletics are also the reason that the athleisure style is doing so well. That’s because they make cute and affordable clothes that are appealing to a wide range of women.
Fabletics advertisements are all over social media and many woman are getting hooked. That’s because they have the option to utilize the subscription-based model where they can receive new looks every month. That makes it super easy for them to sport athleisure!

Overall, athleisure is a style that appeals to mass amounts of people because it’s all about comfort and style.

I’ve got a curious problem with messages that I can see arriving on the gateway, and all but a couple of them don’t arrive at the application.
I’ve tried a bunch of things to be able to understand what might be going on, including spending hours with the sensor manufacturer’s application engineer to try and find out what might be happening, with no idea. But at least the problem is reproducable!
This is with a new to the market internal air quality sensor, so I don’t want to mention the manufacturer straight away, as this could just be teething trouble with a new device. I’ve tried with both OTAA and ABP with the same results, and tried with ADR on and off.
What’s the best way to try and find the cause of this packet loss?
The sensor is turned on an working as it expects to sending (in this case) every 2 minutes (although I started at every 20 minutes), using OTAA the join works as expected, or using ADB the sensor starts sending as expected. While the gateway local to me (on the roof of the building the sensor is in) shows receiving every expected message, the message
cnt matches the sensor’s expectations, and I can decode all the LoRaWAN messages correctly using
lora-packet with the appkey and devkey from the application, only 2 or 3 of the packets actually arrive at the application and the rest go missing somewhere between the gateway and the application.
Every packet for the application that the gateway receives should be decoded and arrive at the application.
Only 2 or 3 of the messages arrive at the application, the rest go missing.
These screenshots are from rebooting the sensor just now and watching the sensor traffic only (uses ADB):
Sometimes, packet 1 makes it through, and occasionally I’ve seen number 4, but never anything beyond that.

Fergie quizzed in ticket inquiry
Alex Ferguson has been questioned as part of an inquiry into how match tickets assigned to him ended up being offered for sale by touts outside Old Trafford.
Ferguson said he had given tickets, printed with his name, to acquaintances and had no knowledge that they had found their way into the hands of touts.
Since all staff tickets delivered to United have Ferguson's name on them, it is unclear how many of the 16 were from the manager's own allocation. Ferguson has helped United's own inquiries.
Ferguson's link to the touting case came in a court case at Trafford magistrates' court, where four touts were given banning orders and fines. The men were part of a gang who advertised tickets for sale on the internet to fans, many of whom travelled from overseas and handed over up to £200 a ticket.
The tickets were produced as part of the men's case that they had permission from the club to distribute tickets. All four men -- Karl Rowe (51), Mark Rowe (47), Anthony Jones (44), and Christopher Fallon (51) -- pleaded guilty to selling or otherwise distributing tickets without authorisation.

31 May 2022 Light up Navajo
By Beth Jimmerson
No lights. No refrigerators or microwaves. No TVs, computers or cellphone chargers. No modern conveniences at all. That’s how more than 15,000 families live on the rural Navajo Nation without access to electricity.
But this year, thanks in part to Conway Corp employees, the lights will go on in 300 of these homes during a joint effort between the American Public Power Association and the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority to extend power lines and bring electricity to families on the Navajo Nation.
Conway Corp originally sent a crew to help with the Light Up Navajo project in 2019. After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, crews were excited to return to the reservation in April.
The crew consists of Senior Lineman Jake Ballard, Linemen Jeremy Douglas and Lance Heer and Underground Service Technicians Huey King and Gordon Valentine. They left Conway in early April and made the two-day trip to the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American territory in the United States.
The territory, which is slightly larger than West Virginia, sprawls across the adjoining corners of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Roughly 300,000 people live on the reservation at any given time, many without electricity. They represent 70% of all U.S. households without electricity.
To expedite electrification projects, the American Public Power Association is partnering with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority on a mutual aid project to Light Up Navajo. Conway Corp is among more than a dozen public power utilities from across the nation to participate in the project.
It’s been a life-changing process for the Navajo people and linemen alike.
“It’s very humbling,” Valentine said. “I think we’re a little spoiled. I’m getting old and I see people older than me getting electricity for the first time. It’s very rewarding. It’s just humbling. That’s all I can say.”
Density averages 4.2 houses per square mile, but many are spread farther apart, making the work of installing utility poles and stringing wire more labor-intensive and time-consuming. Just driving between the secluded worksites could take two or more hours, sometimes to service just a single home.
In addition to time and labor, electrifying one household is expensive. Each house, on average, requires one transformer, .6 miles of wire, nine poles, 16 insulators and two arrestors to connect to the electric grid. That’s more than $5,500 per home. In comparison, 50 to 60 homes in Conway could have been energized with the same work and materials.
Hooking up the remaining 15,000 homes would tally around $1 billion, including new infrastructure, which underscores just how valuable the donated labor is. Homes have been without power for so long because it’s a costly process that no investor-owned utility was willing to finance.
Conway Corp Chief Marketing Officer Crystal Kemp pointed to the mutual aid effort as another benefit of public power.
“When public power communities need help, we rally behind them just like they would us,” Kemp said. “We are well-practiced in sending aid in the wake of natural disasters, and we are leveraging those skills to help bring power to these communities. These families’ lives are changed forever, and to be a part of that – that’s impactful.”
Conway Corp crew members worked 14-16 hours a day while on the reservation. At the end of their week, they helped bring power to seven additional homes, including Aliza Wood’s.
“It felt amazing,” Wood said when she flipped the power switch for the first time. “I was like a little kid just filled with excitement. I can see this. I can do this. I can cook this. It just opened up the world basically.”
Some families, like Shirley Chee’s, had been waiting more than 30 years to receive power. “I wish my mom and dad would have seen the lights turn on,” Chee said. “Me and my sister were just crying, saying, ‘Oh, mom and dad, look at the lights. Look at the porch lights. They are all on.’ We were just sitting there crying. It’s just so wonderful. We never thought this was going to happen. It felt like the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”
Douglas said he volunteered for the project because he wanted to help families like the Chees.
“It was a very humbling experience to see these families have been living without power when it’s something we take for granted,” Douglas said. “It was hard work, but at the end of the day when we got to install their meter and flip a switch – that’s what made it worth it. Helping get power on for people who have never had it before.”
As their time on the reservation came to an end, a special dinner was held in appreciation of the five from Conway. The event included a slide show, speeches, a Native prayer, and lots of tears – all as a way to say thank you.
“We are so grateful that outside communities are sending their electric crews to help,” NTUA General Manager Walter Haase said. “This project made not only a positive, life-changing impact on our families, but it also left a powerful impression on the line workers and their communities who proudly volunteer their services. In my opinion, the more important thing than these people getting electricity was that they got to see that other American people cared enough about them to stop what they were doing in their lives and come help.”
The Light Up Navajo initiative lasted 11 weeks. Crews helped connect homes to electricity and are creating a foundation for additional infrastructure on the Navajo Nation including broadband and water services.
“I know many of you left your families to help empower families here,” said Jonathan Nez, president of the Navajo Nation. “On behalf of the Navajo people and all the families you have connected to the grid, thank you. We appreciate you.”

Art can use light to convey an emotion, mood or thought, transcending language. Artists have always used light to emphasize certain aspects of their works of art. How light bathes a basket of fruit, for example, or shines on a pearl earring, can accentuate an art work’s attributes. The contrast of darkness with lightness can be alluring. In modern art, only the medium has changed.

Better healthcare lighting often means lower overall costs for hospitals, doctors or dental offices, medical facilities and assisted or senior living centers. Given the complications of today’s healthcare system, improved lighting at a lower cost can afford a serious and distinct advantage for patient and doctor alike.

DANNY Hylton will be aiming to make the difference again for Oxford United tomorrow after claiming the winner in midweek.
The striker opened his account for the club with a precise finish three minutes from time against Bristol City.
It ensured a 2-1 win and pushed his claims for a first competitive start after coming off the bench in the opening two games.
Hylton, 25, was pleased to grab his first goal for the club, but insisted his priority was on making a contribution to the team, rather than aiming for any personal targets.
“I’m happy of course, it’s always nice to get off the mark,” he said.
“But I just go into every game and try to make a difference by working as hard as I can.
“If I can score goals as well it’s great.”

Mobile TV Numbers Set to Explode
[Satellite Today – 1-25-08] ABI Research projects that there will be 462 million mobile TV subscribers around the globe in 2012.
The growth will be led by the Asia-Pacific region, which will see an increase in the number of mobile TV subscribers from 24 million in 2007 to more than 260 million by 2012, according to the study “Mobile TV Services,” released Jan. 24. High levels of penetration will occur in both Japan and South Korea, each a leading market in mobile video services, while China and India will both contribute significantly to the overall total.
Mobile TV could offer strong growth opportunities for satellite players. TU Media, the Korean operator, has its services based on the satellite-digital multimedia broadcasting (S-DMB) standard and is viewed as one of the pioneers in the mobile TV market.
In Europe, SES Global and Eutelsat have formed a partnership to explore playing a role in the mobile broadcasting market, while Alcatel Lucent is participating in a variety of digital video broadcasting–satellite services to handhelds trials with players such as ICO in the United States and Italian cellular operator 3 Italia.

To celebrate their wedding anniversary, Chukwuma took his wife Eresi on a tour of England and continental Europe. They visited fourteen cities in seven countries beginning from London, England; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Rhineland Germany; Rothenburg, Germany; and Munich, Germany. They also visited Innsbruck, Austria; Florence, Italy; Pisa, Italy; Montecatini, Italy; Venice, Italy. From Italy they journeyed to Lucerne, and Lugano Switzerland. Paris, France was their last destination on this European tour and they spent two days in the City of Love.
Eresi and her hubby set-off from Houston, Texas, made a brief stop in Detroit, Michigan, and then to New York; from where they boarded a first-class cabin en-route London, UK. On getting to London, they checked into the opulent ‘The Ritz hotel’, and commenced on a whirlwind tour of the city.
They visited the London Tower Bridge, The Shard, and capped the day off by seeing a live game between then-Premier League champions Chelsea and Manchester City, at Stamford Bridge.
The two lovebirds journeyed through various landmarks of London on their second day – the famous Oxford Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, St. Paul’s cathedral, Millennium Park, a boat ride on the River Thames, and a host of other attractions too numerous to mention.
From London, Eresi and Chukwuma continued on to continental Europe. They crossed the English Channel by ferry. The ninety minute ride was both relaxing and enchanting, as the ferry Enchanted Lady was aptly named. The Enchanted Lady docked in Calais, France and the couple was treated to their first view of continental Europe. Stunning views of rolling hills and enchanted vistas along the boulevards and promenades, and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean gently lapping on the embankment, as they awaited the arrival of their tour vehicle.
They journeyed through the picturesque villages dotting Western Belgium, all the way through to Amsterdam, Netherlands. At Amsterdam, they enjoyed the folklore, a trip to Anne Frank’s House, the wonderful nightlife, and of course, the famous Redlight District.
This wonderful couple took a tour of the Heineken Experience Museum, a diamond factory, a cruise on the Amstel River, and a bullet train ride, to cap-off a wonderful first set of days in Europe. They were to proceed to Rhineland, Germany to witness the wonderful architectural masterpieces and royal vestiges of the Germanic empires of old. The magnificent landscapes and castles that dotted the sparse vegetation of what used to be West Germany.
Amazing European tour.

Cantrell: 'Now more than ever, our leadership, perspective and voice are essential'
AMCP CEO Susan A. Cantrell, RPh, CAE addressed the AMCP Annual Meeting 2019 General Session on March 26, laying out how AMCP is prepared to meet the challenges of today’s complex health care system. The following is a lightly edited transcript of that address.
Good morning! Welcome to San Diego and to the AMCP Annual Meeting! I am thrilled to be here with you today. Three years ago, when I had the privilege of joining you all for the first time in my role as CEO, I talked about how “cool” AMCP is: How we're willing to try new things. Take fresh approaches. Stay current and even stay ahead of the curve.
Now more than ever, our leadership, perspective and voice are essential. We face a time of tremendous change and uncertainty in health care. The advent of gene editing and digital therapies are game changers. New health care business models are emerging, and we’re on the brink of myriad policy changes that could dramatically change the future of our profession. Mergers are creating new health care organizations that will operate in different ways to deliver care and medication therapy.
And who would have imagined six months ago that #M4A would be a "thing"? Without question, we are in an environment of change. A major driver behind this call for change is the continued rise of health care spending.
CMS projects that national health care expenditures will grow 4.8 percent this year alone to reach $3.8 trillion. And if we stay on this trajectory, CMS is projecting national health spending will reach an astonishing $6 trillion in the next decade to almost 20% of our GDP.
There's no question that medication costs will continue to be front and center in the national dialogue around health care. As HHS Secretary Alex Azar noted last year, “There’s little difference for a sick patient between a miracle cure that hasn't been discovered and one that is too expensive to use.” And that presents both a challenge and an opportunity for managed care pharmacy.
We need to be thoughtful about how we address the complex issue. We have the opportunity to create real solutions for making health care and prescription medications more affordable while ensuring that today's rapid pace of innovation continues. This is one reason AMCP has stepped up our advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill. Earlier this month, 33 AMCP volunteers and staff members spent two days on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers in 66 Senate and Representative offices.
We talked with them about the valuable work that AMCP's 8,000 members do every day to ensure Americans get the medicines they need at a cost they can afford.
We told them stories about the tools we use every day to help keep medications safe and affordable.
We talked about prior authorization-- a tool that has been getting a bad rap recently. We set the record straight: Based on sound science, prior authorization is an effective tool to improve the use of clinically appropriate, cost-effective therapies. We also shared ideas for how to improve these processes.
That’s just one example of the messages we are sharing as AMCP works to change the narrative. Doors are opening for these conversations-- faster than ever before. We know the tools of managed care pharmacy work. Legislators need to know that managed care pharmacy holds the answers to lowering medication costs.
How we tell our story is more important than ever. And the AMCP story comes directly from our mission. While we're not changing our mission, we are going to change how we tell our story so that it's compelling to more people.
In a few minutes, our outgoing AMCP president, Mitzi Wasik, and our incoming AMCP president, Jim Kenney, will share the results of a year-long initiative to revitalize and strengthen how AMCP presents itself.
We're excited to share a new look, feel and voice for AMCP that we believe captures the energy, passion and true impact of our profession. This commitment to evolving
the AMCP brand has helped us sharpen our message.
Whether it's in Washington, DC, state capitals, or the doctor's office, we need to make clear the role of managed care pharmacy in health care: We're the people who work to get patients the medications they need at a cost they
That is the unique value we provide. And we need to get that story out. We need to share the positive impact of managed care pharmacy! This makes our work, and the work of AMCP Foundation and the Biologic & Biosimilars Collective Intelligence Consortium (BBCIC) even more important.
You, our members, make sure millions of patients have access to needed medications every day, while remaining good stewards of our health care dollars. I'm proud of the tremendous progress we've made. One of the most rewarding (and enlightening) aspects of examining and refreshing our brand was listening to you -- our members. Our commitment is to continue to listen and evolve AMCP to always meet you where you are.
We're here to help you move forward in your career, give you tools that can help you tell your story and share the remarkable impact we have, individually and as a community of dedicated professionals.
In closing, I'm excited that we're all together here in San Diego. If you look at what's on the official seal of San Diego County, you'd think it was written in support of AMCP and
The seal, which was called out by Theodore Roosevelt when he dedicated the County Administration building here in 1938, reads: “The noblest motive is the public good.” That certainly rings true for all of us who are members of AMCP.

§ Sir H. JACKSON
asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware, that under some recent local Acts, which provide for payment by a local authority without production of probate, of a sum not exceeding £100 due to a deceased employé on account of wages, superannuation, or otherwise, the local authority is obliged on receipt of notice in writing of any claim of a creditor of the deceased employé within one month from the employé's death, to retain the amount due to the employé or a sum sufficient to satisfy the claim, until it 2152W has been satisfied, disproved, or withdrawn; and whether, in view of the probable delay in payment to the deceased's representatives and the difficulty for local authorities in satisfying themselves regarding claims, he will consider the insertion in future cases of better provision for this matter?
§ Mr. W. S. MORRISON
The legislation in question is designed to give local authorities a reasonable discretion as to the distribution of small amounts in their hands due to deceased employés without depriving other persons of their legal rights. The object of the special provision as to claims of creditors is 2153W to compensate creditors for the loss of their rights against the legal personal representative of the deceased, whose discharge would be necessary to protect the local authority if they had no statutory authority to pay without it. I regret that I cannot suggest a better method of making the desired provision.

Cake invites riders to first One Design electric MX championships
Since launching the first Kalk electric motorcycle in 2018, Sweden's Cake has gone from off-road trails to city streets to rolling workbench. Later this year, the company returns to its dirt-bike roots to host its first motocross race.
The first Cake Kalk One Design Global Championships is set to be an invitational, and will see 16 of the world's top enduro, motocross, supercross and downhill mountain biking riders quietly tear around a purpose-built track on the island of Gotland, Sweden.
"The Cake Kalk One Design race is a 4X format," revealed event and race coordinator, JP Baralo. "With four racers in each heat racing to qualify. It’s a double elimination concept with winners and losers rounds, to eventually announce a winner."
The two-wheelers used for races will be the company's Kalk Or and Ink models, both featuring a 6061 aluminum frame with plastic bodywork, an 11-kW motor producing 280 Nm (206 lb.ft) of torque at the wheel and a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph), a 50-Ah/2.6-kWh battery for trail/enduro riding for up to three hours per charge, and 19-inch wheel to the front and an 18-inch wheel to the rear, both rocking motorcross tires.
The Or bike comes with Öhlins upside-down air forks with 204 mm of travel and Öhlins TTX22 shock to the back, while the Ink moto sports upside down MX spring forks with 200 mm of travel and a direct-mounted shock at the rear.
And, apart from swapping batteries, no changes to the e-motos can be made unless it's to replace like-for-like parts.
The Gotland Ring track has been designed and built for purpose by Swedish enduro rider Robert Kvarnström, who is promising "maximum thrill per meter" and will also be one of the riders taking part in the competition. All riders will get the chance to face each other thanks to a "round robin" format, before the focus changes to knock-out semis and finals.
Though the competition will be the first One Design championship, the first Kalk race organized by Cake was held in St Tropez, France, last September. Cake had intended to deliver a series of races this year, but the current global pandemic forced the company to focus on a single competition event instead. More urban races are being planned for major cities worldwide during 2022.
"Our ambition is to bring back motorcycle racing to the masses, fighting the decline in traditional ICE two-wheeled motorsport events," said Cake's CEO Stefan Ytterborn. "There’s a real possibility to spawn a new spectator-friendly competitive sport. The One Design enables this wonderfully because we can operate professional races in urban locations without noise, minimal disturbance, and zero pollution (70 percent of tracks around the world have had to close down the past 15 years due to the opposite). Pair this with the limited need for space and the ease of attracting spectators and media, and it’s a game-changer."
The actual date of the Kalk One Design Global Championships will be announced in March.
