'The toughest times in the history of policing': West Midlands chief calls for greater penalties to combat street parties
The West Midlands' Chief Constable has urged the Government to consider greater penalties to combat illegal street parties – describing the challenges posed by Covid-19 as "the toughest times in the history of policing".
Dave Thompson praised members of the public for their "amazing" efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus but said organisers of illegal street gatherings should face stiffer sanctions than those not wearing a mask on public transport.
He also said the force would be "seeking to maximise visibility and interventions" in Sandwell to bring infections down after a rise in the area.
In his latest blog, Mr Thompson also warned that his officers were now at the "hard yards" stage of enforcing new regulations.

Mr Thompson, who is taking a break from his duties next week but is not going on holiday, wrote: "March seems a lifetime ago.
"We began with huge staff absences as people self-isolated.
"The public followed the lockdown better than any of us could have imagined.
"People are still being amazing (look at face mask uptakes in shops) but there is fatigue and some aspects of lockdown are openly challenged by a minority."
After urging his officers to stick to the rules around social distancing and hand-washing as they return to Covid-secure workplaces, Mr Thompson wrote: "I am very concerned over the illegal gatherings in the form of car cruises or street-based parties.
"These are disorderly, dangerous events that risk spreading infections.
"We have to effectively intervene and deal with these issues.
"If we do not then this will result in increased delinquency and risk to the public.
"In these circumstances people are taking deliberate, concerted mass action to breach the regulations.
"I am encouraging government to consider additional powers and stronger deterrence for these circumstances."
Mr Thompson added: "If you organise an illegal street party the sanction must be more serious than not wearing a face mask on a bus."
Ending his latest message to colleagues, he went on: "This is all very tough to manage and it is coming at a time where we are missing social contact with friends and family and some sun.
"These are the toughest times in the history of policing.
"The longest emergency outside a war and one that is being fought against an invisible disease.
"These are historic times but I know we will add to our proud history through your efforts."

Magna Steyr is insisting it will not invest “right now” in any Polish contract assembly in Warsaw as rumours intensify surrounding the future of its eastern Europe operations.
Speculation in Poland has now centred on whether BMW will choose Magna to manufacture the new Mini at the FSO plant in Warsaw, with the automaker apparently yet undecided as to any production commitment.
Some ambitious estimates in Poland have said up to 200,000 staff could eventually be taken on, although more conservative figures of around 2,000 employees producing 60,000 vehicles annually, appear to be more realistic.
“There is [nothing] we can say – we are not investing right now,” Magna Steyr spokesperson, senior manager external communications & media relations for Magna International Europe, Lea Treese, told just-auto from Austria.
“I have seen the reports – we have said we are not doing it right now. It has not been a topic the last few weeks.”
Speculation has centred on Mini and Infiniti vehicles being built under contract to BMW and Nissan Motor in the FSO plant in Warsaw, currently run by UkrAVTO of Ukraine.
In a strong rebuttal to just-auto last month, Magna denied it had specific plans for Poland, although it did leave the door slightly jar for further expansion into eastern Europe, should the economic position improve.
“Magna International confirms due to the uncertain outlook on the European automotive industry and ongoing customer negotiations, the company will for the time being not install a production facility in Warsaw,” said the supplier in a previous statement. “Our strategy to expand to Eastern Europe is still valid.
“No further details will be disclosed at this time.”
The FSO plant, operated by the Polish State, started vehicle assembly in 1948 making the Fiat 125p and Polonez cars up to 1989.
It was then taken over by South Korea’s Daewoo and, in 2005, by Ukraine’s UkrAvto, which produced Chevrolet Aveo cars for General Motors until spring 2011.

It does not matter how true the truth you present from the pulpit, if you bore people with it, then you are doing damage.
Too much preaching is boring preaching. Sometimes it is due to the content, sometimes the delivery, sometimes the attitude, sometimes the preacher’s own personality. Whatever the reason, it should not happen.
1. God is not boring. Actually, God as a concept presented in a lot of theology has become personality-free. For many, He has essentially become an It, definable by a set of truth statements, but essentially unknown in his personhood. God has a personality. Our role as preachers is to pursue Him and chase Him and long to know Him more, so that we can represent Him effectively.
2. The Bible is not boring. How many classes and sermons and story times and lectures and presentations have turned the vivid and gripping self-revelation of God in His Word into a dull set of archaic moralistic tales? Sort of a set of ancient fables without as much of the talking animals as we might prefer. But the epic sweep of Scriptural history, the diversity of genres, the human personalities and the divine personality, the issues to wrestle with, the irony to catch, the pain to feel, the exhilaration to experience, and so much more . . . there is no collection of books like this one!
Tomorrow we’ll add a couple more factors and try to get to the root of the issue: Why is some preaching dull?

P.S. You can also use this transition method to safely introduce your cat to new textures and flavors of food.
How Much Food to Give
Unless your vet has alerted you to specific portion requirements based on your cat’s breed or an underlying health condition, it’s usually safe to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding portions.
AAFCO approved products base their labels on body weight, so monitor your cat’s weight weekly during this transition – if you observe unusual changes in your cat’s body weight or condition, adjust the portions accordingly. Chat to a vet if you’re not feeling confident about making portion adjustments on your own.
Most cat owners (and cats) do fine with free-feeding – this gives your kitty the freedom to control when and how much they want to eat. During this transition, you may want to consider having a more structured mealtime; especially if you have an active cat (shifting their daily calorie intake may be weird for them). Opting for a more portion-controlled meal time 2 times a day will help you both to get into a routine while adjusting to these life changes.
- You can try feeding by hand. The bond you two share offers a safe space for your kitty to want to try something new.
- If you’re serving your cat moist food, you could try offering it on a flat dish. They feel safe and free when their whiskers are not brushing up against the edge of a bowl.
- Try to warm moist food to room temperature (if you’ve kept it in the fridge). Your tentative kitty may want to lick new food before diving in, so put a tiny bit of food on the edge of the dish.
Offer some moral support and comforting head pats if you feel welcomed to do so, and you’ll have yourself a grown happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr.

We are a lucky nation to have so many different cultures and ethnic groups creating an American food. The Portuguese who settled in southestern Massachusetts have given us a wonderful soup from the Old World. It's from my new book THE BEST SOUPS IN THE WORLD
Portuguese Kale Soup
It may be called Portuguese kale soup or caldo verde, but this dish is a classic of Portuguese-American cookery as found from Fall River and New Bedford, Massachusetts, east to Cape Cod, where many Portuguese immigrants settled in the late nineteenth century. This version is my attempt to approximate the one I ate regularly at P.J.’s Dari-Burger in Wellfleet on the Cape during our summer vacations. The key ingredient here, besides freshness, is the fresh linguiça sausage. Supermarkets usually carry it on the East Coast, but elsewhere you may need to substitute the fully cooked version, and if you can’t find that, then sweet Italian sausage or kielbasa.
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound (about 1 link) fresh Portuguese linguiça or chourico, casing removed
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound kale leaves, heavy stems removed, laid on top of one another, rolled up, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 1/2 teaspoons salt or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or more to taste
1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the sausage and onion and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage but leaving largish chunks, until the onion is softened, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the chicken broth, water, potatoes, and kale. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are softened and almost falling apart, about 1 ½ hours. The potatoes are meant to fall apart and thicken the broth. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Break up the potatoes further in your bowl to make it thicker.

In the Middle Ages, the term spices was applied to all costly goods (except gems) imported to Europe from the East, and extended to items no longer commonly called spices, such as dyes, drugs, perfumes, textile fibers, aphrodisiacs, and sugar, as well as what we today call spices, like pepper (meaning peppercorns), cardamom, ginger, turmeric, various herbs, the chilies (newly arrived from America), garlic (called the peasant’s theriaca by the thirteenth-century doctor Arnold of Vilanova), and saffron, a true luxury.
Garlic is a spice, yet even though its history in the Mediterranean is very old, the mad desire of Europeans for the exotic spices of the East led them to overlook garlic. Europeans traded gold and silver for the spices of the East, a fact that displeased kings and finance ministers, who thought it a poor trade. Ferdinand of Spain tried to stop the importing of cinnamon and pepper in exchange for silver by saying, “Buena especia es el ajo” (Garlic is a perfectly good spice). However, popular opinion held that garlic “sempre è cibo rusticano” (always is a peasant food), although with the right preparation it could become gentlemen’s food. Perhaps garlic is the “plant of civilization.” It enlivens food.
In the meantime, try this garlic soup. More garlic soups are in my latest book Best Soups in the World.

Labor Relations Report
Being elected the State Delegate of your PBA Local is an honor and a privilege that should be cherished by those fortunate enough to be selected to protect and serve the women and men in your department. That is just one of the messages that each State Delegate receives when attending the New Delegates Training Course. The committee that hosts the class is chaired by Montclair Local 53 State Delegate Joe Savittieri.
After 12 years as State Delegate, which followed 14 years as his Local’s president, “Joe Sav” is retiring. I’ve been on this committee for 16 years, and that message has not changed. What has changed is the frequency that we hold the classes.
Many of us believe the position of State Delegate is one that you try to hold for the remainder of your career. Years ago, we would have had to wait several months until there were five newly elected Delegates to hold a class. Retirement of a longtime Delegate was most often the only way to get elected.
Occasionally, a Delegate would serve several terms before accepting a promotion to sergeant two or three years before retirement. Even then, they express regret that they had to leave the “best job” in the department.
That is no longer the situation. The turnover for State Delegates has now increased to the point where we have monthly classes where upwards of 15 Delegates are expected each time. Our most recent New Delegates Class was attended by 17 of the 26 who were invited to be a part of the mandatory training that must take place before the Delegate can assume the responsibilities of his or her position.
I look at this as a catch-22 situation. The undeniable fact is that we have done a remarkable job of training our union leaders. The police departments have been reaping the benefits of this by allowing the Delegates to learn all the administrative portions of police work, including the rules and regulations of the department; local ordinances and their application to policing; internal affairs procedures; managerial prerogatives; and all aspects of the terms and conditions of police employment. After a State Delegate shows their strengths as a leader and gains the respect of those they represent, the police department knows that it is promoting someone who will be successful guiding them in the future.
The downside is that the association loses a talented and capable person to handle the labor issues that are inherent in all employment, but especially important in law enforcement. The nature of our jobs, coupled with the scrutiny of how we go about our day-to-day operations under sometimes extraordinary circumstances, requires a different level of labor relations than other public sector unions. The knowledge gained by a State Delegate who expands his or her network through the county conferences and the state association is built slowly at first, then expands exponentially as they start to understand how the issues that arise in another agency are similar to many.
The experience of addressing the issues that affect their Local members allows them to gain the trust, and sometimes admiration, of the membership, as well as of the police administration and governing bodies. A State Delegate who can speak intelligently on behalf of police officers is an asset to the members and the public.
To say that we must have an adversarial relationship with anyone simply because we are a union is nonsense. The union should be on the same side as the administration and the governing body. We all want to ensure public safety, and one of the State Delegate’s responsibilities is to make sure that we all do that within the guidelines of the contract and applicable laws that regulate the conduct of all involved.
In the Employer-Employee Relations Act, it is declared as the public policy of this state that the best interests of the people of the state are served by the prevention or prompt settlement of labor disputes. The best way to protect those interests is with information that is gathered and shared at PBA meetings.
Unfortunately, in recent years there has been reluctance on the part of police administrators to allow time off for Delegates to attend meetings if it will cause overtime. Since this is a negotiable issue, it should be in the contract, but sometimes that practice that had always been in place was never reduced to writing.
After the change of State Delegate, chief, lieutenant, etc., the binding past practice was lost and meeting attendance suffered. The Local association suffers, too, because that is not in the best interests of the membership — or the employer, for that matter. More than anything, a union leader must know what is negotiable and how to go about it.
The Act requires negotiations over the terms and conditions of employment. N.J.S.A. 34:13A-5.3 provides: “Proposed new rules or modifications of existing rules governing working conditions shall be negotiated with the majority representative before they are established. In addition, the majority representative (PBA) and designated representatives of the public employer shall meet at reasonable times and negotiate in good faith with respect to grievances, disciplinary disputes, and other terms and conditions of employment.”
In a case involving police and firefighters, if an item is not mandatorily negotiable, one last determination must be made. If it places substantial limitations on government’s policymaking powers, the item must always remain within managerial prerogatives and cannot be bargained away. However, if these governmental powers remain essentially unfettered by agreement on that item, then it is permissively negotiable.
This is your midyear reminder to save the date for the 2024 NJSPBA Law Enforcement Collective Negotiations Seminar. We have changed the name to reflect that New Jersey does not use the term “collective bargaining” anymore, and we will continue to update the topics to reflect what our members need to know. This is not just for Delegates. We encourage all members to attend Feb. 6-8, 2024, in Atlantic City.

Many employee benefit programs focus on physical and emotional health to reduce stress and sickness in the workplace. An alternative solution? Financial workplace wellness programs. Financial uncertainty is a large contributor to employee stress and can lead to a lack of focus. This makes the ROI of financial workplace wellness programs extremely compelling.
People are Reluctant to Talk About Financial Wellness
Personal financial difficulties can affect employees in the workplace, but many people hide their situation from their peers. The stigma associated with money issues often leads your valued team members to hide or disguise their financial problems. As a result, employees show a lack of productivity or increased absenteeism because of stress.
The reasons for financial struggles vary. Recently, the global pandemic caused many people to dip into their savings to support themselves. Some even did so to the extent that they are now delaying their retirement. Similarly, many face financial challenges such as medical bills or job loss.
Financial worries are distracting and can cause anxiety. Employees of all backgrounds feel the effects, whether they are planning for retirement or saving for a new home. However, a financial workplace wellness program offers a solution that can help your staff overcome these challenges.
The ROI of Financial Workplace Wellness Programs
Financial wellness programs offer a range of services to employees, from debt management to retirement planning. Because of this, many organizations are now implementing these programs as an employee benefit. The main question is, “What is the ROI of financial workplace wellness programs for my business?” The answer is threefold. Firstly, a financial wellness program attracts talented employees. Secondly, it improves productivity. And thirdly, it reduces sickness and absence.
Attracts Talented Employees
Every company wants to employ the most talented employees. When there’s a labor shortage, the best employees have their choice of places to work. In other words, the power is in their hands. Therefore, your main concern is to make job offers as attractive as possible.
Good company benefits attract the right candidates and help you retain the talent you already have. According to Corporate Wellness Magazine, 40% of employees say financial planning and education is an important benefit when they are considering a new employer. Additionally, these benefits will help you to retain the workers you already have. Hiring and training new workers costs your company money. Therefore, it pays to have a solid and talented team that is happy to stay right where they are.
Financial stress does not let employees fully focus on their jobs, and that affects productivity. Additionally, stress over money can also lead to a lack of sleep, arguments, and other issues that can affect an employee’s mental health and work performance.
Financial wellness programs educate employees and provide guidance in managing their money. In other words, they help employees take control of their financial lives. This helps to alleviate stress and allows employees to focus on their work. HR Magazine says, “We see a definite trend of linking general wellbeing and productivity with financial wellness.”
Similarly, a study by Warwick University suggests happy employees are up to 12% more productive. Consider the ROI of having an entire team that’s 12% more productive! As a result, your company would be more successful, and each of your team members would be on track to a healthier lifestyle.
Reduces Sickness and Absence
When employees are unhappy or stressed, sickness rates rise. Financial strain can also lead to mental illnesses such as depression. Research from HCMI shows that a financial wellness program can reduce sickness and absenteeism. Therefore, by hosting a financial workplace wellness program, you are actively preventing poor mental health and reducing the cost of lost productivity.
In addition to the main advantages of offering a financial wellness program, there are several smaller benefits to your company. These include:
- Decreased HR costs. Your HR team will spend less time discussing benefits and payroll advances.
- Decreased payroll taxes. Employees that use HSA or pre-tax health benefits affect Social Security payroll and contributions.
- More 401(k) participation. Employees will learn how to properly save for retirement and you both reap the tax benefits.
- Decreased healthcare premiums and accidents. Reducing employee stress and illness can also reduce the associated healthcare costs and accidents in the workplace.
- Increased on-time retirement. Businesses can better plan for gaps in their workforce and employees have more peace of mind knowing they are on track for retirement.
101 Financial Workplace Wellness
As an employer, you have a responsibility to care for your employees. Go beyond simply sponsoring a retirement plan or giving an annual bonus. Improving financial literacy among your team has far-reaching benefits for everyone involved.
Financial wellness programs are best delivered by a third party, in other words, someone outside the business. Likewise, the third party should have the expertise to deal with a range of issues confidentially. A neutral third party like 101 Financial gives employees the confidence to seek financial help. Moreover, they can do so without fear that it will negatively affect their employment or interactions with their peers.
The 101 Financial Workplace Wellness program is designed to provide confidential support and one on one instruction. Additionally, the program is meant to help your team become more productive and achieve their financial goals.

Politicians in Japan can now accept cryptocurrency donations to fund their campaign activities, according to a report by news agency Yomiuri Shimbun. However, it is still illegal to donate in other forms such as the Japanese yen, stocks, bonds and other securities.
According to the Japanese law, political parties are required to publicly report donations made in the form of traditional assets. Due to this technicality, cryptocurrencies are not considered among the standard avenues forbidden from political campaigns. As a result, they can be accepted as legal political donations and politicians are not required to report the source of funding.
With crypto donations, politicians in Japan are not obligated to record and report every transaction to the government for clearance, no matter how big or small. Politicians can therefore avoid the tedious task of recording every donation, effectively saving them the cost of hiring personnel to perform the work.
Cryptocurrency donations bring more attention to the need to upgrade existing injunctions to keep pace with rapid changes in technology. There has been criticism on social media that the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) has not done enough to regulate cryptocurrency in Japan, and that transactions of the asset must be reported to the government.
The political donation law in Japan effectively serves as an example of the anonymity and privacy of cryptocurrencies. The fact that innovations outpace centralized regulations necessitates the upgrading of existing laws to keep up with new technologies such as cryptocurrency and blockchain.

My partner and I visited on Bank Holiday Monday as we wanted some brunch before our day out. We were seated quickly but had to ask for the brunch menu as it wasn’t given to us. The table wasn’t cleaned properly before we arrived and the hostess had to quickly wipe down the table leaving bits of blue roll as we sat down.
The meal I ordered was supposed to come with roasted cherry tomatoes and rye toast, but instead there were no tomatoes and it was served on white bloomer bread which was hardly toasted. Poached eggs were also a part of my brunch, but they were a disappointing sloppy mess and the whole thing was presented with little care. I would have brought this up to the staff had they asked how the food was, but alas nobody checked on us to see if everything was ok.
After taking our plates away at the end of the meal nobody came by to ask if we needed anything else and we waited 15 minutes before we got bored of waiting and asked for the bill.
On the positive side my partners Glamorgan sausages were nice, but overall we left completely underwhelmed.

Nearly a decade has passed, but I remember vividly how my Pink Skirt changed my running world. Heck, it changed me and who I was as a runner! I wasn’t just one of many. I was the bright one, the happy one.
I think that was the first race I ran in my new skirt. I trusted it enough to get me through 26.2 miles of mountains, winds, and a scenic wonderland. It didn’t let me down. I didn’t worry about fuel since my pockets were stuffed with Gu’s. I didn’t worry about chafing since everything was held securely in the skirt. I didn’t worry about anything except getting over the next hill and finishing before the course cut off.
IronMan champion and Founder of Skirt Sports, Nicole DeBoom, shares her lucky charms when it comes to tackling life’s biggest obstacles.
Who knew one simple item would change my life! I’ve made friends along the way because of Skirt!
It was muddy, humid and hot. Typical April, Florida weather conditions and a recipe for chafing disasters. The race, “JW Corbett, ” is a non-profit race that uses its proceeds to buy instruments for children in South America; it is typically known as the hardest 50 miler in Florida. The course is soul crushing, full […]

The first time I wore it [the skirt!] I knew I had found my running uniform. I didn’t have to tug and pull at it, it didn’t ride up, and magically I also felt… pretty. I could get through an entire run without actually thinking about the clothes I was wearing. Oh, and bonus! It had storage! A place for me to put my tampon, my kleenex, and my phone! That was something I’d never found in another pice of running gear.
It’s amazing how much our mind can get in the way of us achieving our goals, and my hope is that perhaps if someone sees me doing something active it will spark a fire in them to go out and try something that they may have previously thought was impossible.
It was 1:30AM. I was riding shotgun with my sister-in-law up and down the back bay alleys of a mall in Colorado on a tip that in the morning a remodeled store was about to haul off thousands of dollars of store fixtures, beautiful mirrors and more. Things that one company considers trash, another company […]
I experimented for a few years and then one day, probably at a race expo, I saw a table for Skirt Sports!
WHAT? Skirts for running? That’s just crazy talk.

Editor's Note: Earlier this week, we published an explanatory study of the figures behind 10 U.S. military bases named after Confederate generals. We then turned the question to our readers, asking on Facebook whether they thought--as a growing number of people around the country do--that the bases should be renamed. After receiving an outpouring of reactions both for and against the renaming, we thought we'd share some of the most insightful comments with the rest of our audience. Read on for a selection of those responses.
Should’ve ended a long time ago
"I've been saying that should’ve been changed decades ago. “The Lost Cause” fiction of a South which bears little to the facts- it must end, and it should’ve ended a long time ago. The flag and those who willingly fought under it were traitors to the Union. The symbols, statues and paraphernalia related to it belongs in museums."
--Steven Tamberino, New York, NY
No evidence that the Confederacy wanted to destroy the nation
"Men who fought to destroy our nation"? Or men who fought for the simple right to withdraw and create their own nation? I find no evidence that they wanted the United States to cease to exist and I find no evidence that the Confederacy wanted to annex the northern states.
They DID find it necessary to try to defeat the Union armies on the field of battle, simply to force a peace treaty stating that the United States would recognize and respect the Confederate States and leave them alone. No more economic blockades.
We shouldn't rewrite history. We CAN accurately debate that the South didn't go about it the right way. The way to do it right would have been to step-by-step reverse the procedure in the U.S. Constitution for adding new states. Doing it that way would probably even have gotten a thumbs up from the U.S. Supreme Court. And get diplomatic recognition by other countries, who then might strike treaties of alliance (not Great Britain, though)."
--Randy Treadway, Florida
Rename the forts to real Americans
"They fought and killed Americans. They fought to keep slavery. They fought to beak away the the Union. They were traitors to their country. Rename the forts to real americans who fought for their country....Grant, Sherman Patton, Persing. Their are plenty of better choices. These forts were named during the Jim Crow era of the late 1910's 1920's which was a horrible time for African Americans. How does it feel to be an African American and be stationed at a military post named after a man who tried to keep your family enslaved? Change them now!"
--Jim Hulitt, New Jersey
Up for debate
"Not sure but definitely up for discussion. History is a complex subject, consistently changing and evolving. I wouldn't mind changing it up though. Perhaps rename after those who served their country in different ways: Navajo Code Talkers, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, etc. Some have suggested WWII heroes, which is a nice suggestion too."
--Renee Boyce, Rhode Island
Same league as Benedict Arnold
"Why any of these men are honored either by a statue in the halls of Congress or by having a base named after them is beyond me. For me, all of these individuals are in the same league as Benedict Arnold. I don’t know of any army base named after him – and he was a better soldier than most of the men named in one of your articles.
All of the individuals named in your two articles were traitors, taking up arms against their country. None of them should be honored and that includes Robert E. Lee."
--Norman Tetreault, Massachusetts

The healthcare industry seems like a natural fit for many people. It has a wide variety of career paths and opportunities, it’s constantly growing, and it allows you to make an impact on people’s lives.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in healthcare are anticipated to experience a 13% increase between 2021 and 2031, which is considerably higher than the average growth rate for all occupations. This surge is predicted to lead to roughly 2 million fresh job opportunities during the decade.
Along with these new positions, chances of employment will also rise as a result of the need to replace workers who leave their roles permanently. An average of 1.9 million employment openings per year are expected to arise from growth and replacement demands.
If you’re considering switching to healthcare, read on to learn how to successfully transition into a new job or profession.
Choosing a Healthcare Career
Selecting the right healthcare career is a big decision. There are many different types of careers in health care, and they can be broken down into two main categories: clinical and non-clinical.
Clinical careers involve direct patient care, including doctors (MDs), nurses (RNs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs).
Non-clinical careers include administration positions such as human resources directors or quality assurance specialists, research roles such as statisticians or epidemiologists, information technology roles like programmers or data analysts, public health jobs like epidemiology coordinator, and education roles such as professors at universities.
Understanding the Path to a Healthcare Career
The first step to becoming a healthcare professional is understanding the different types of careers and how to pursue them. If you’re interested in nursing or medicine, there are many paths available for you to take.
If you want to become a nurse practitioner (NP), it may be possible for you to earn your Bachelor’s degree online through an online accelerated BSN nursing program. An online accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program offers several benefits, including flexibility, convenience, and faster completion time.
BSN programs from universities like Rockhurst University are 100% online, with only a one-time 10-day campus residency. This means students can complete coursework at their own pace and according to their schedule, allowing them to balance their studies with work or family responsibilities.
Moreover, the accelerated nature of the program, such as that of Rockhurst University, allows students to complete their degree in a shorter time frame (just 16 months) than traditional programs, which can lead to earlier entry into the workforce and increased earning potential.
Getting Your Foot in the Door with an Entry-Level Job
If you’re looking to get your foot in the door with an entry-level job, there are a couple of ways to go about it. The first is through healthcare staffing agencies. These companies hire people as medical assistants and in other positions that require minimal training or education. They’re often entry-level jobs that pay well and allow you to gain experience in your field before moving up to more specialized roles.
The second option is through hospitals themselves. While they may not be hiring nurses right now due to staffing shortages, many hospitals do still have positions open for physician assistants (PAs) or nurse practitioners (NPs).
These two types of professionals provide much of the same services as their licensed counterparts without requiring them. PAs work under doctors’ supervision and use their expertise in medicine. NPs function similarly, except they can also prescribe medication independently from doctors’ orders if necessary.
Clinical Advisor reports that according to the 2023 Best Health Care Jobs list released by U.S. News & World Report, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Associates/Assistants (PAs) maintain their positions as the top two occupations, respectively.
On the 2023 Best Jobs list overall, NPs and PAs rank second and fourth, respectively. The US News report reveals that the median salary for NPs and PAs is $120,680 and $121,530, respectively.
Increasing Your Opportunities for Growth within Your Hospital or Clinic
As you advance in your career, there are many options for advancement. The first step is to determine what you want from your career and then select a path that will help you achieve those goals.
There are three main paths for growth within hospitals or clinics:
- Promotion from within the organization (i.e., becoming a manager).
- A lateral move into another department or specialty area of healthcare (i.e., becoming an orthopedic surgeon).
- A vertical move into another hospital or clinic (i.e., taking on more responsibilities as an administrator).
Building Your Network and Advancing Your Career as a Nurse
According to Health Tech Zone, establishing connections and networking are vital for progressing your nursing career. Nursing workshops and conferences provide opportunities for meeting fellow nurses, acquiring knowledge about novel healthcare practices and trends, and obtaining continuing education credits. It is important to stay alert for such events in your area.
In addition, engaging with nursing-focused virtual communities, like social media groups or forums, presents opportunities for networking with other nurses worldwide. Participating in healthcare facilities or community events as a volunteer is also worth considering, as it presents a chance to establish connections with healthcare professionals and give back to the community at the same time.
If you’re ready to make the switch to healthcare, we hope this article has helped you understand how it can be done. Healthcare is a booming industry with plenty of opportunities for people with diverse backgrounds and skill sets.
The key is to identify what kind of role suits your interests and strengths before pursuing an education or certification program – then follow through on that decision.

What are your rates?
The rate for David and the studio starts at R300 per hour. You are paying for my time to work for you on your project. If your project has a specific budget please feel free to discuss this with me and how we can make your project a success.A day at Frankie Congo is a maximum of 10 hours, typically 10 am – 8 pm with a lunch break in the middle.
How do you create your sounds?
I have a studio with many props such as chains, wood panels, wet paper and metal pieces. I record these sounds either as foley or as the source material for sound design. Most scenarios can be recreated for the sound requirements per scene in the studio. I also go on location trips to record real world sounds. Transport costs( fuel) is covered by the client.
What type of location recording do you do?
For a sound design or foley project , I record the sounds needed to tell the story of the film from a sound perspective. Sometimes the sound recorded can be used in the music composed for the film. When it comes to recording an artist, I use a battery powered 5 track recorder to capture your performance away from the studio. If there is power then the track count jumps to 8 with the use of a 4 track mixer.
How long will it take to record an album?
That depends on how prepared you are, how long the album is, how elaborate the production is and how meticulous you are. My job is to record your music so it’s very important that your songs are well rehearsed beforehand. This saves time and your money. Know the sound you want before you commit to record. It’s your job as the artist to know what your sound is.
Is mixing included in the price?
No. Mixing is the same rate as recording and you need to book time for mixing as well as recording even if you don’t plan to attend mixing. Most album mixes recorded at Frankiecongo take 3-5 days for the full album. Mixing recordings tracked at other studios usually take 1-2 days longer.
Can we master our record at Frankie Congo?
No. While I’m somewhat capable of mastering a record, I feel that it’s important to master your record with different ears in a different room on different equipment and with a dedicated mastering engineer. Recommended mastering engineers are Tim Lengfeld, Kelseymastering and Murray Anderson .
Do you offer internships?
No, not at this time. I do however offer recording workshop opportunities for kids from our local community.
Can we invite some friends to the studio to hang out with us?
If you absolutely have to, keep it to the bare minimum. Frankie Congo is not a big place and it gets cramped quickly when extra people are around.

(Welcome to Movie Mixtape, where we find cinematic relatives and seek out interesting connections between new releases and older movies that allow us to rethink and enjoy what’s in our theaters as well as the favorites on our shelf. In this edition: Happy Death Day.)
Happy Death Day is all set to shove tongues into cheeks on Friday with its twee name and bloody riff on Groundhog Day. The film stars Jessica Rothe as Tree Gelbman (yersh), a self-absorbed college girl who gets murdered at her birthday party, wakes up the next morning, and has to relive the day until she can solve the crime.
It looks to hit the sweet spot of self-aware horror that delivers gore with a slice of irony and a wink toward the ancient age of the slasher genre. It’s also far from the first film to mess around with time loops (not even the first horror film), which makes finding companion movies a fun trek through a sci-fi subgenre that’s got a surprising number of wins.
Let’s bargain with Dormammu and relive some movies that try to break the cycle.

CHICAGO — The highly contagious B2 subvariant has caused a slight rise in Chicago’s Covid cases.
But Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Dr. Allison Arwady said the city appears to have avoided another surge.
At a news conference Thursday, Arwady said she is not too alarmed by the covid numbers right now and currently, cases are low. But she still encourages people to get vaccinated to keep themselves safe from the virus.
“Chicago’s current COVID 19 community level remains low. That is the most important piece of information I want you to hear,” she said. “We are seeing low levels of severe illness. There is not a requirement to have masks. There are not even recommendations to to have masks. … We have not stopped paying attention to Covid. We continue to see cases but overall, the outbreak remains in good control.”
The number of cases are up compared to last week.
Cases of COVID-19 in Chicago as of Wednesday have increased 28% over the prior week, according to the city’s COVID Dashboard.
But the number of hospilizations are down.
Arwady said the most important thing is to be vaccinated to help prevent severe illness. She said the Black community is still lagging behind in vaccinations.
“About 62% of Black/non LatinX Chicagoans have had that first dose of vaccine and that worries me because we seen Covid more disproportionately, especially the bad outcomes, landing on Black Chicagoans.”
Arwady strongly suggests all Chicagoans get free at home Covid tests at COVIDtests.gov

These are all neat anecdotes which, in sum, lead Duhigg and his editors to the headline, “What Does Your Credit-Card Company Know About You?” Which is, as it seems from the reporting, quite a lot. Based on the evidence Duhigg collects, all this data mining has been effective. One collector, trained in Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory decides that a delinquent customer should be treated more firmly:
Santana’s classes had focused on Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, a still-popular midcentury theory of human motivation. Santana had initially put this guy on the “love/belonging” level of Maslow’s hierarchy and built his pitch around his relationship with his ex-wife. But Santana was beginning to suspect that the debtor was actually in the “esteem” phase, where respect is a primary driver. So he switched tactics.
“You spent this money,” Santana said. “You made a promise. Now you have to decide what kind of a world you want to live in. Do you want to live around people who break their promises? How are you going to tell your friends or your kids that you can’t honor your word?”
The customer agrees to pay back a greater sum of his debt. Which is fascinating, if not overly convenient, stuff. As the economy falls apart, vulnerable consumers are choosing between paying the credit-card bill or the electricity bill, and a collector’s tone can, perhaps, affect the outcome. But all that is secondary to the imbalance of information that consumers face. Just skim this Washington Post Q&A about credit cards. Consumers left and right complain about being duped by creditors:
Mount Air, Va.: I bought a Freezer from Sears on my Sears Mastercard (Citi). The first bill came in with a 28 day grace period but Sears had not entered the transaction under the special no payment/no interest for 12 months promo that I bought the freezer under. Second bill came in with promo noted but now the grace period had automatically dropped to 20 days (I called Sears to confirm this). Call me paranoid but I think they do this so that customers will miss the new due date and default on the promo allowing Sears/Citi to collect on fees. Will prohibiting this practice be part of the new rules?
Adam Levin: You’re not paranoid. It’s a given that issuers make more money when people miss the due date and end up losing the interest free promotion.
The Fed Rules that go into effect July 2010 will require issuers to mail statement at least 21 days in advance. Both the House and Senate bills address this as well.
Watch those due dates in the meantime!
And that’s the problem in Duhigg’s piece. While creditors are savvy and ingenious in the way they track data about their customers and train their personnel to make sure they can push the right buttons, consumers are tragically under-informed. And this imbalance goes sadly unmentioned in the article. Yes, creditors are devilishly clever, but cleverness and virtue are not the same thing. As the recession eliminates jobs, customers face ballooning interest rates allowed by fine print in complex contracts with clauses written in dense legalese. Because, unlike the creditors, they don’t have teams of analysts. Instead, consumers expect to rely on journalists to help them understand devious business practices and expose the devil in the details.

Laser Voyage Café, a new family entertainment center that opened in Duluth on New Year’s Eve, offers pirate-themed laser tag in a two-story arena, an arcade filled with cutting-edge games, and the very first laser maze in Georgia. The laser tag arena features a spectacular 55-foot-long pirate ship with three ramps for play.
In the laser maze, designed by Funovation, players dodge a network of more than 20 lasers to reach a secret treasure chest. Players are timed and compete to achieve the lowest score.
Players can choose from eight different games in the laser tag arena including capture the flag and Zombie. “We can vary the levels of difficulty to accommodate everyone from new to competitive players,” General Manager Brian Luallan said. Individual or team play is available. The laser tag arena, the only two-story facility in the metro Atlanta area, can accommodate up to 21 players, he said.
Competitive league play and tournaments will begin in spring, he said.
In the cafe lobby, others can watch participants in laser tag and the laser maze on high-definition wide-screen monitors.
Games in the arcade include Razing Storm, a popular shooting game; NASCAR Team Racing, and the newest version of the Pump It Up dancing game with 350 songs. There’s also Jumping Jack Pod, a jump rope simulation game that’s fun and physical, Luallen said.
Other arcade games include Deal or No Deal, based on the TV game show; Big Buck World Safari, a hunting game; Super Shot basketball with a moving hoop; Skeeball, a baseball toss game; and Fire Storm, an air hockey game.
Pac-Man’s Arcade Party offers 20 different versions of the popular 1980s video game. Next to it is a Whac-A-Mole game suitable for 3-,4-, and 5-year-olds, so parents and children can play side by side.
A giant crane in the center of the arcade offers players the opportunity to win prizes. If they fail to pick up one, there are consolation prizes. “There’s a guaranteed winner every time,” Luallen said.
Game tokens are four for a dollar in machines located throughout the arcade or five for a dollar if $20 worth are purchased at the register. Games require one to five tokens to play.
Laser Voyage Café was developed by Duluth resident Bob Kourieh, chief executive officer of The Jade Group, a Duluth-based company. “Bob and his family wanted an excellent experience at an attraction located right here,” Luallen said. “They didn’t want to drive very far.”
Luallen, who has an interest and involvement with special attractions, was hired as general manager close to the opening. His experience includes Netherworld, the Atlanta Renaissance Festival, and Stone Mountain Park.
Laser Voyage Café sells snacks, pizza, hot dogs, fries, gourmet coffee, and gelato. The café uses a special convection oven that crisps rather than fries foods to make them healthier, Luallen said. Gelato is served because it contains less fat than ice cream, he said.
Hours are Tuesday-Thursday, 3-9 p.m.; Friday, 3-11 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Closed Monday. Laser Voyage Café is located at 1866 Buford Highway between Duluth and Suwanee. For more information, call 404-309-3888 or visit www.LaserVoyage.com.
“We want to reach out to families in Duluth and Suwanee and offer them an excellent “world-class” entertainment experience right in their own back yard," Luallen said.
Laser Voyage Café also offers private parties, corporate events and birthday parties. In addition, the café has an educator who can teach school children about optics and lasers on field trips to the attraction. A fund-raising program to benefit local schools is being developed.


Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale Said to Return for High School Musical Movie
Two principal cast members from Disney's "High School Musical" franchise reportedly are ready to get back for "High School Musical 3: Senior Year", the studio's big screen version of the hit franchise.
Usmagazine.com claims to have obtained info from sources close to the project that Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale will positively reprise their respective roles as Gabriella Montez and Sharpay Evans. The former one was even said to about receive a "substantial increase" in pay despite her recent nude pictures scandal.
"Vanessa is locked for the movie," a source told the site. "She is very happy that the deal is done."
The source further added that contract would be "signed within the next week" and it is "almost a done deal" while another close to Tisdale was quoted to say the actress' negotiations are "done, done, done."
Contrary to the tidbit, Hudgens' publicist and a Disney spokesperson, however, insisted that cast is still in negotiations and there's no deal made yet for now.

Lancaster County Convention Center Authority approves financing plan; others still waiting
Vital pieces of the Lancaster County Convention Center financing plan announced nearly two months ago have yet to be enacted, according to a news release by plan architect Scott F. Martin.
Martin, a Lancaster County commissioner, said Lancaster County Convention Authority Board Members have voted 6-0 in favor of the plan. He encouraged the Pennsylvania Dutch Convention and Visitors Bureau and Penn Square Partners to do the same, and indicated hope that the City of Lancaster will receive affirmation from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development of its participation in the City Revitalization and Improvement Zones program.
Those approvals need to be in hand before the county and Wells Fargo can execute their portions of the agreement by January 2014, Martin said.
Announcing the plan in September, Martin said it had been in the works for about a year and involved concessions on all sides.
