Nurses on the front line
By Ruth Kawano
“I never thought it would come here, not here on the reservation.” She first heard about the coronavirus (COVID-19) on TV in January 2020. “It’s all the way across in China!”
This nurse tearfully expressed what it was like in the beginning when it came to the Navajo Nation. Another nurse detailed the preparation of staff and protocols before the virus hit close.
A chief nurse executive used her leadership skills to help create innovative solutions for her staff and patients. These professional registered nurses voiced early experiences, painting painful scenarios of patients and sometimes a whole family suffering with COVID-19 as they stepped into the Kayenta Health Services Emergency Department.
Patients started showing up in late February. The coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, is a novel virus that has affected millions throughout the world – more than 5 million people as of this writing with more than 340,000 deaths.
In March, Navajo leaders named the virus Dikos Ntsaaígíí-19. COVID-19 affects the lungs and its airways. The coronavirus is a lethal virus, easily infecting others.
On the Navajo Reservation, currently there are more than 4,500 positive COVID-19 cases with 2,000 recovering and 153 who died. COVID-19 continues to spread. Education to prepare (sub) Knowing about the coronavirus in January and February of this year, the Kayenta Health Center’s nursing staff started preparing with education.
“First, I mentally prepared myself to be the cheerleader and quality leader for my team and co-workers,” said Kathleen Whitehorse, an RN in the Emergency Department. “We maintained our daily positive quotes that we already had in place before COVID-19 and I had to be a positive and strong leader in the face of COVID-19.”
She didn’t know if this virus would be like Ebola, another killer virus responsible for over 20,000 deaths worldwide in 2014. Nurses had questions about the coronavirus. Would it really come to the Navajo Reservation? Soon it wasn’t an “if” but a “when.”
The team set up scenarios and practiced donning and doffing PPEs – personal protective equipment – like masks, gowns, face shields, gloves, etc. They also learned as much as they could about the virus.
Eileen Russell, RN, a supervisory clinical nurse in the Emergency Department, said, “In preparation, I reminded myself of why I became a nurse and that I will treat others like I would want to be treated if I were the patient or family member. “I also prayed for guidance in matters unfamiliar to me and that I will not be fearful of what comes before me and to make the best decision with the best resources available to me,” she said.
She prepared her ED nursing staff to treat customers to the best of their abilities. She knew that residents had to be educated about the virus in careful terms because the average person does not know what a virus is and how it causes illness.
A chief nurse executive at the Kayenta Service Unit Health Center, Wanda Begay oversees the nursing department. To prepare her staff, Begay ensured adequate supplies and that every nurse was educated about the types and uses of PPE and the virus.
Staffing was a big challenge. To begin with, the nursing vacancy rate was high at 65%. She had to get extra nurses. In the beginning of the pandemic, she got contract nurses and volunteers such as Team Rubicon, a group of military veterans who help in disaster management around the world.
They also received help from FEMA and Doctors Without Borders. These workers went to communities to teach about the virus, including masking, social distancing, virus shedding and even grocery shopping.
All resources were much needed and appreciated by all in Kayenta. In the beginning, the virus also caused fear and anxiety among staff.
Staff was afraid to go into the ED for lab specimen transport, housekeeping and supply management. They were educated by professionals to lessen their fears. It was important for nurses to know as much about the virus as possible. Begay said, “My expectation was to make sure our team followed our plan on what to do if a COVID-19 patient walked into our emergency room doors – they were donned in PPE and the patient got a mask immediately.”
Then other protocols were followed. The more staff followed the protocols, she said, the easier it got.
In late February, the KHC got a patient with a high fever and a dry, unexplainable cough. “We weren’t sure (if this was a COVID-19 patient) but with the high fever we had heard about, it got real,” Begay said. “Maybe this was a COVID-19 patient!
“We weren’t sure because we had a lot of flu patients with similar signs and symptoms and there was no test yet to see if affected from the coronavirus,” she said.
Initially it took five to seven days to get test results back, so it was challenging for staff to know if patients had COVID-19 or not. Later in March, they started testing. However, she noticed that the ED situation was harder to deal with and that nurses were stressed.
“The more we found out about the virus, the harder it was to see what every patient endured with the hardship of what this virus was doing to their bodies,” Begay said. Knowing that the patient and family were experiencing all the pain and suffering was much to bear.
As a nurse caring for patients, she knew that the patient could not have family around and had to be alone. “I let them know how I feel, I touch their shoulder, I ask them if they have any questions and I tell them about what the virus is doing to their lungs in layman terms,” Begay said.
She saw how her patients had difficulty breathing and even more difficult was seeing children suffering. Witnessing a whole family with the illness and seeing their oxygenation dwindle was devastating. Nurses here had not dealt with anything like this before!
Because the virus is very evasive, virulent and new to all, nurses realized that education is important. Even scientists, virologists and doctors still do not know everything about COVID-19 and how it seems to travel.
Currently there is no cure or vaccine. An antiviral is said to be in clinical trials the past week. From reports, world scientists are working around the clock to develop treatments.
Apart from patient care, medical supplies and PPE were getting harder to get from manufacturing centers. Staff decided to use Tyvek material from a home improvement store to start making gowns, which could be wiped down and reused. They got rolls of this materials and staff started cutting and sewing makeshift gowns.
Rapid test kits and machines came much later. These kits are used for point-of-care testing for COVID-19. In the past staff had to transport tests to a lab as far away as Phoenix, some 300 miles away or a five-hour drive, for a five to seven day turnaround for test results, sometimes even longer. ED staff also started using industrial face shields for added protection. CAPRs (controlled air purifying respirator) were ordered by the staff, but not received yet. This is a new PPE, which can be a face shield helmet, or a shroud with a helmet and face shield which goes around the head and upper body.
Other changes included establishing a nurse call line where patients could find answers to their questions in English and Navajo. The inpatient unit has become an extended ED overflow unit for positive COVID patients who were waiting for transfer to an outside hospital or stable patients that needed oxygen, intravenous fluids, medications, and monitoring. An outside curbside drive-through is set up for follow-up by recovering patients.
Most of the KHC clinics except for a few have been closed.
Lessons learned after two months, Whitehorse said, include that she “became a stronger advocate for the care of patients, more attentive in helping them understand COVID-19 signs and symptoms. “I helped them think more positively, urged them to stay strong and let them know how important they were to me,” she said. “COVID-19 is a strong virus. Nurses can be strong mentally, emotionally, physically, too, we let our inner leadership qualities take over. “We got this,” she said. “We can overcome adversity because we are RNs.”
Russell stressed that any nurse who comes to the Navajo Area must understand the remoteness and culture. “Kayenta is a remote area and families live with extended family members,” she said. “There are areas of no electricity, heat or plumbing and it makes our education to wash frequently difficult to implement in family homes.
“New RNs and nursing students should not fear coming here, there is much to learn here, although we may not have all the modern technology as in the urban areas,” she said. “We do more hands-on care and have to do a lot of critical thinking.”
Begay found that training staff to work in different areas and education in the clinics and directing traffic was important. “Nurses had to work outside in a tent and at curbside,” she said. “Nurses and support staff manned the established nurse call line and used the Diné/Navajo language to answer questions on COVID-19 and inform callers on signs and symptoms, testing, and self-quarantine.”
More nurses are needed in the rural communities on the Navajo Nation. “We need to recruit and seek more resources for scholarship and education to send our children to schools,” Begay said. “There are going to be more health care challenges in the future, and we need to be prepared.”
Whatever comes, people need to talk about it like TB, Spanish Flu or other illnesses. Nurses need to learn more about the germ theory and look at evidence-based and scientific research studies. They need to look at data and statistics. After these interviews we walked around the hospital and saw positive things.
The nurses were proud of their “mini gown factory” and a wall where patients and staff write notes and posted cards of appreciation. These nurses are tough yet compassionate in dealing with the coronavirus and patients.

Putting together my new XXL Pro, and got to the drag chain step. It appears that the cables in the drag chain were installed in reverse as the guide says the head (left) should have all x-axis should have all female connections. Because of the curl the DC can only be oriented one way. I’m about ready to open up the Drag chain links and reverse the cables. Who’s with me? (Yes, I have a ticket in to support but can’t get a meeting until Monday). Thanks for your advice.
I reversed mine on install and had no issues with popping each link open and correcting the issue. May get you up and running before Monday.
Did not damage one link in the process.
I also super glued additional drag chain supports on my XXL.
After talking to the tech support, I’m thinking that the error is in the Carbide assembly pdf.
I will tell you that before I made many of the “firmly attach Part A to Part B” steps of assembly I laid them out and stepped back for a common sense evaluation. And made some adjustment in some cases. I wished they had provided a PDF download file for assembly. My workshop does not have Internet so I had to create a Word file for transport on a laptop.
Adhering the drag links to the Shapeoko is “interesting” for alignment. And I added an additional support on both drag link runs.
Finally got my XXL up and running and solved some other issues with help from Will and someone else at Carbide 3D’s support. Thought the tech support was 1) VERY RESPONSIVE even on weekends, 2) very considerate, and 3) very clear and concise. Overall, very appreciative of their help.
I have recommended Carbide 3D systems based solely on their tech support.
And, my Carbide 3D router was “a bit loud” out of the box and died very quickly, ate its brushes and burned the brush sleeves within a couple of hours. Not a problem with getting a replacement. It was in hand within a couple of days.
REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT INTERACTION. No sending the burned up one back waiting for an evaluation, no RMA, no nothing.
The replacement has been running for many hours flawlessly - and a LOT quieter.
And, I added an additional, if there was another, grounding connection. My dust collector hose was creating static electricity and if contacting the XXL, was causing a crash. Double correction, changed to a grounded hose and added the grounding wire.
Poped the links apart on mine at the ends. reversed. Fits works, done.

Wildlife Health Center
These reviews and revisions are necessary for wildlife conservation as well as protection for key habitats in Rhode Island. Do you
have a passion
for African and Asian Elephants? Would you like to see some elephants up close and even get the chance to spend the weekend with some of them and learn about the environment they live in as well as the elephants themselves? If you would, you should seriously think about taking a trip out to Greenbrier, Arkansas where you can actually get the chance not only to see elephants up close, but also roam in their own habitat like environment and even get the chance to touch one and feed one, which is always fun and exciting to do. Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary in located in Greenbrier, Arkansas off of highway 25 going north on 65. You can find out the driving direction by simply going to this site or by calling the wildlife sanctuary at 501- 589-3291. This particular wildlife sanctuary isn't one you simply go and visit like a zoo you actually have to plan a trip there yourself. Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary is only open on weekends for "The Elephant Experience Weekend Program," and you have to call ahead of time to let the sanctuary staff know that you are coming to visit by again simply calling the number I just mentioned in this paragraph. The cost to spend the weekend with these amazing elephants and get the chance to visit with them up close cost seven hundred dollars per weekend, which includes a place to stay for the weekend and food. However, you must be at least eighteen years of age to spend the weekend at the particular sanctuary for safety reasons. Some of the things you will be doing up close with an elephant during your weekend stay inside Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary will be helping the elephants care keepers to trim the elephants toes, bath them, feed them and play with them. You will even have the chance to help walk the elephants with the elephant care keepers as well. At night time inside Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary you will learn about African and Asian elephants by watching movies, having discussions, and by helping prepare elephant food for them to eat during their meal time.

As WWF-UK’s picture editor, I’m constantly reminded how wonderful our world is. From a hard-won image of a rare Amur tiger to a touching insight into gorilla behaviour, the following images show why our work has never been more vital.
For the February issue of WWF’s members’ magazine Action, I was asked to select 12 images that show the importance of our work and what conservation has achieved in 2013. Not as easy as it sounds.
I started by sifting through some incredible photos from the field, WWF’s commissioned shoots from last year, plus a selection of conservation images that I’d either used in our publications or that had really moved me.
A few deserve a special mention, before I leave you to simply look at them. There are a few images here to highlight our ongoing campaign to keep oil exploration out of Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We want to protect Virunga’s unique species and habitats, but we also want to promote sustainable livelihoods that serve Virunga’s people in a way that oil never can. So I’ve chosen some of photographer Brent Stirton’s portraits of local people, because they are such an important part of the campaign for me.
I’ve also included a picture that highlights one of the tough challenges we’re facing: the worrying rise in poaching. So you’ll see an image used in our campaign to tackle illegal wildlife trade, showing seized poachers’ weapons and confiscated stacks of ivory. It serves as a stark reminder of the need to protect vulnerable species.
There’s also a stunning shot that shows the spirit of true conservation. Last year I sat – captivated – in the audience at WildPhotos 2013 and listened to photographer Toshiji Fukuda. He’s a man who spent 74 freezing days in a remote hide in Russia’s Primorski Krai, where WWF’s Amur leopard adoption project is based, waiting to capture an image of one of the world’s most beautiful creatures – the Amur tiger. He got the shot. I had to include that.
I’ve also picked photography for its surprising nature, such as a stark image of icebergs that shows the fragility of the Arctic, and for the interesting ways that photographers have captured the essence of our adoption species. I don’t think an image is ever just an image. It’s a chance to raise awareness. I hope that my final selection surprises you with the range of work you support to protect habitats, species and people too. And I hope you feel inspired.
My photographic highlight of 2013? Toshiji Fukuda’s beautiful image of an orange Amur tiger, burning bright against a remote icy shore. This image sums up not what we do, but why we do it.
Which images are your favourites? Leave us a comment and we’ll post it on the blog.

I've always been intrigued/fascinated/utterly bemused by the warbling antics of Mariah Carey and the likes. The hand action. The facial contortions. The crazy pointing. The jaw spasms. The inability to choose a note and stick with it.
Not being a singer myself, I've often wondered if these are an integral part of sounding good. Mariah's a great singer - she does the aforementioned 'tricks'. Christina Aguilera is a great singer. She's also known to have these flourishes. (She could do with a good bath. Dirrrrty, as in, pass the soap. Eeeuuww..)
So, to kind of illustrate my point, here's a great song for you all to listen to. And for those au fait with the most recent Body Pump tracks, this is used for the cool down. I really do love this song, even though I didn't know who these people were, til I googled them. Now, all I know is their names :)
Now. If you were a young couple that were so desperately in love, that you had to take time out of your recording studio and photo shoot to meet up in a forest, (that I think looks like where MJ and his beau were walking through. But the again, I suppose all forests look the same, right?) to sing to each other... WHY would you implement the flourishes at that point? Look at the video, around about 2.52.
The guy, Guy (... hehe) looks like the wicked witch of the west, just after she's had the bucket of water thrown over her. A total contortion. In fact, if he were my boyfriend, singing to me like that, I'd have to resist the urge of putting him in the recovery position. Having said that, the broad - Jordin ain't that much better.
Meh. Who am I to comment? I like Michael Bolton. And Chicago. And anyone else of that ilk.
MMmmmmm Peter Cetera in a forest.....

• Coordinate efforts across both public and private sectors. • Create a research agenda. • Improve pain assessment and management programs. • Ensure that the Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee and the NIH Pain Consortium (a group of NIH institutes with an interest in pain) cooperate in reaching out to private-sector participants as appropriate. • Enhance public awareness of chronic pain. HHS and other entities including the VA, DoD, and large health care providers should reduce barriers to pain care, especially for populations disproportionately affected by and undertreated for pain. Enlist pain-specialty and primary-care professional organizations in supporting collaboration between pain specialists and primary care clinicians; educate primary care providers as to when to refer patients to pain centers. Ask NIH to designate as lead institute an existing institute that includes pain as a central part of its mission. This lead institute should be responsible for the following: advancing pain research, including assessing NIH’s overall effectiveness in this area; assuming leadership of the Pain Consortium and increasing its scope; and identifying funding needs. Furthermore, require the Pain Consortium to do the following: conduct more frequent, structured, and productive meetings; improve the process for reviewing pain-related grant proposals; work with pain-advocacy groups to help identify public needs related to treatment and management; and improve and expand public-private partnerships.
Some have asked why the committee did not address other equally important aspects of pain, such as our national problem of chronic prescription opioid misuse and abuse or the formation of a national institute of pain. The committee acknowledged and described the problem of opioid misuse and abuse; however, an in-depth examination with specific recommendations was beyond the committee’s charge. Likewise, the committee discussed in its report the creation of a pain institute and concluded that creating one at this time is not feasible. We now have a wonderful opportunity to advance IOM’s report recommendations and encourage all physicians to support the report’s important messages. Please read the complete IOM report, including its executive summary at http:// www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Relieving-Pain-in-America-ABlueprint-for-Transforming-Prevention-Care-Education-Research.aspx.

The West Midlands Police‘s Walsall Taskforce has taken down a weed operation running out of an unused pub in Willenhall town center last week, seeing more than $600,000 worth of weed during the raid. The task force used a drone with a thermal camera to see hotspots within the building.
The thermally equipped drone was able to see the heat produced by the high-power lights used to grow marijuana, essentially giving the police the ability to see through the walls to get a better idea of what was going on inside.
The cannabis operation was said to have been spread out over two floors of what was once a pub. On Tuesday, June 9, police moved into the Castle Pub, seizing all the marijuana in the facility along with the equipment used to grow it. Currently no arrests have been made in connection with the raid.
The taskforce took to social media to share that the Walsall Taskforce had a productive afternoon discovering and taking a down a huge cannabis factory. The force counted nearly 600 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £500,000 ($628,000).

Drones and drugs
Earlier this year, police in New South Wales, Australia, used a drone to help take down a massive rural weed farm spanning over 20,000 acres. The police were able to seize a whopping 3,000 plants with an estimated street value of around $3.5 million. The property was a large-scale commercial cannabis cultivation that supplied much of eastern Australia.
In 2018, Colombia announced that it will begin testing the use of drones to destroy coca plants used in the production of cocaine. The drones are equipped with a herbicide capable of killing the plants. The tests saw 10 drones being used to spray the plants with greater precision that can’t be matched by the manned aircraft that are currently used to destroy the plants.
What do you think about police using drones equipped with thermal cameras to essentially see through walls? Let us know in the comments below.

When the Fairfield Museum opens its exhibit on the life and work of Richard Scarry this October, it will pay tribute to one of the most beloved children’s illustrators and authors of all time.
Scarry died at his home in Switzerland in 1994 at the age of 74. But with 300 million copies of his books sold worldwide, he remains as much a fixture in the lives of young children and their parents today as he did in his prime.
Children feel at home in “Busytown,” the author’s fictional town where every resident has a part to play in the community. If children here feel particularly at home, however, it may be because beginning in the late-1950s, Dick Scarry, his wife, Patsy, and son, Huck, lived in Fairfield County. It was a particularly fertile creative period during which the author drew on his local townspeople and locations—Main Street, the Post Office, Long Island Sound—for material and inspiration.
“When we learned that Richard Scarry lived in Westport and Ridgefield for 20 years, we were excited to look at him not only in terms of his career as an illustrator and an author, but also how his time in the community informed his work,” says Chelsea Garth, curator of the Fairfield Museum, who organized the seven-month-long exhibit. “I think all artists pull from their experiences, so there are in his books a number of really fun visual references to his time here.”
Long-time Westport residents may remember the young illustrator tooling up Main Street with Huck in a black MG Roadste, or sailing the Sound in his 19-foot sloop.
Dick Scarry enjoyed a broad, social circle of fellow illustrators and authors as well as friends like Sidney and Ester Kramer, late-owners of The Remarkable Book Shop, which appears in his 1968 book What Do People Do All Day?
Today, Scarry’s signature anthropomorphic animals—Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm and Hilda Hippo, among others—continue to charm children while transporting their parents back to childhoods of their own.
“This is obviously a children exhibit but it’s also for parents,” says Rachel Hollis, marketing manager for the Fairfield Museum. “I read these books as a child and watched the show ‘Busytown’ on TV, so it’s pretty nostalgic for me and for other parents.”
“The Road to Busytown: Richard Scarry’s Life in Fairfield County” focuses on the main areas of the author’s life and work: home and family life, places and people in the community, and transportation–how residents get around busy towns in the County.
Also in October, the Westport Library Children’s Department is celebrating Scarry’s work by hiding Lowly, from Scarry’s beloved “Lowly Worm” books, in different locations around the library for children to find and by taking a picture of young readers with a cardboard cutout of one of the author’s characters.
The Fairfield Museum exhibit runs from October 7, 2022, thru April 30, 2023, at the Museum, located at 370 Beach Road. It is open every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. See more at fairfieldhs.org.

School holidays: examining childhood, gender norms, and kinship in childrens shorter-term residential mobility in urban Zambia
- This article discusses a practice of child residential mobility in Zambia that is frequently overlooked in migration studies and difficult to capture through standard survey methods: the practice of going on holiday to the homes of relatives during breaks in the school term. Drawing on child-centered and quantitative research, this article examines the multiple dimensions of going on holiday for children living in a low-income urban settlement in Lusaka. Findings suggest that the practice was gendered and may map onto changing norms in schooling in Zambia. Within a context where resources are severely constrained, going on holiday may serve as one means for cultivating reciprocity, sharing the burden of care and household labor, and strengthening kin ties. This work further demonstrates the importance of using locally meaningful terms and practices in survey research where general questions about childrens mobility may fail to capture the nature and extent of childrens movements."

In this account, Molema balances Plaatje's public and political persona - as a pioneer black politician and man of letters - with an intimate account of Plaatje, the human being.
Seetsele Modiri Molema (1891-1965) was a doctor and surgeon by profession. After completing his medical degree at the University of Glasgow, Scotland in 1919, he lived in Dublin, Ireland where he wrote and published the landmark history, Bantu Past and Present: An Ethnographic and History Study of the Native Races of South Africa (Edinburgh: Green, 1920).

Teachers should not resort to trade union action - Susil
If the salaries of teachers were increased as demanded by the trade
unions the government had to spend nine thousand million rupees
annually, said Education Minister, Susil Premajayantha at the ceremonial
opening of the ‘Thomas de Silva Memorial Auditorium’ at Dharmasoka
Vidyalaya, Ambalangoda recently. The new building was constructed at a
total cost of Rs. 2.60 million.
The Minister said, at a moment when the country is engaged in a
struggle to wipe out terrorism which had retarded the national
development, it is not justifiable for the teachers to resort to trade
union action. Had the requests for salary increase been acceded to all
development priorities initiated to uplift the down-trodden masses would
have been suspended.
Minister Susil Premajayantha unveils Thomas de Silva
Memorial Auditorium at
Further there would have been strong reaction from other trade unions
as well. The Education Ministry apart from salary increases, is alive to
the need to improve the welfare facilities of the teachers.
“The former Education Minister, Richard Pathirana, took the
initiative to resolve the salary anomalies of teachers which resulted in
tremendous increase of their salary bill, when compared to the salaries
of other State sector employees, he pointed out.
“Teachers work only 201 days during a year and if they continue to go
on sick leave in protest against the salary anomalies, they would not be
able to cover the examination syllabuses to the detriment of the

the agendas of different political parties. Referring to the 88/89 era
of terror he reminded how schools were forced to close on chits issued
by certain elements. Schoolchildren were forced to take part in
Around 60,000 misguided youths perished their precious lives in vain.
Such valuable qualities as loyalty, respect and love for teachers,
parents and elders are fast disappearing from the students today. Once
they joined the universities their slogans carried the message of
terror, hatred and jealousy. He assured that the country could not go
back to the era of fear and terror as experienced by us in 1988 and
The Minister said, the Thomas de Silva Memorial Auditorium at
Dharmasoka Vidalaya was constructed at a total cost of Rs. 2.18 million
within a short span of less than two years. Once it is equipped with the
sound system and other accessories, the cost has shot up to Rs. 2.60
Despite numerous problems, under the guidance of President, Mahinda
Rajapaksa steps have been taken to develop the infrastructure and human
resources of the education sector on high priority. Southern Province
Chief Minister Shan de Silva said the new auditorium could be considered
an event of great importance.
Dharmasoka Vidyalaya during its history of 93 years has produced many
professionals and scholars at local and international level as well.
The Chief Minister reminded that during his time in the school none
of the facilities enjoyed by the present students were available to
Mudaliyar Thomas de Silva Foundation Secretary, Dharmasiri Ginige
said the Foundation was started in 1982 by a former principal of
Dharmasoka Vidyalaya and a sum of Rs. 1.4 million could be provided for
the construction of the auditorium out of the Foundation funds.
Dharmasoka Vidyalaya Principal, H.T.P. Wijesinghe, and Old Boys
Association Secretary, Sarath Srilal also spoke.
Three-pronged plan to develop villages - Salinda Dissanayake
A three year master plan to develop villages in three key areas
namely infrastructure development, development of modes of living and
spiritual development of the rural community has been formulated, said
Coconut Industries and Nation Building Minister Salinda Disanayake.
The Minister said so at a special meeting held at Ibbagamuwa Maha
Vidyalaya to review the progress of projects being implemented in the
Ibbagamuwa D. S. division under “Jathika Saviya - Gama Neguma” programme.
A large number of Grama Niladharis, Agriculture Research Assistants,
Samurdhi officers, Pradeshiya Sabha members and members of voluntary
organisations were present.
The Minister further said that the Divisional Secretary, Grama
Niladharis, Agriculture officers, Samurdhi officers and the local
political leadership will form a “Janasabha” to identify the local needs
and development strategies, the sources said. Janasabha would also be
responsible for the infrastructure development and ensuring the standard
of construction work. Villagers should be encouraged to cultivate export
crops like Vanilla which has a great demand in the export market. A kilo
of Vanilla in America is Rs. 45,000.
There is a great demand even for Goraka and Masbedda. A certain
American Company produces valuable tablets using Goraka and Masbedda.
Another objective of the programme is to protect small-holders from
exploitation by middlemen. As a solution markets will be found for their
produce. Most of the paddy farmers are unable to gain any profit from
The multi-national companies that produce insecticides, pesticides
and fertiliser gain the profit.
The situation is same in the poultry farming too. A leading company
that produces poultry food gain the full profit. We should change this
system, “ he stressed.
It has been planned to introduce more and more agriculture-based

Laser induced chlorphyll fluorescence of plant material
Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch
Imaging and spectroscopy of laser induced chlorophyll fluorescence (LICF) are emerging as useful tools in plant physiology and agriculture since these methods allow an early detection of plant stress and transformation of plant tissue, before visual symptoms appear. Chlorophyll fluorescence is governed by photosynthetic efficiency and it depends on the plant species and physiological state. In addition, the laser induced fluorescence of chlorophyll molecules in the red and far red spectral range is also used to study basic processes and phenomena in photo-excited molecules. In the work reported here experimental setups used for laser induced chlorophyll fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy techniques were developed to investigate chlorophyll fluorescence under constant illumination and also to detect green-fluorescent protein (GFP) by looking at the chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum and image. He-Ne (wavelength 632 nm), tunable argon ion (wavelength 455 nm), and excimer (wavelength 308 nm) lasers were used as excitation sources. An Ocean Optics spectrometer was used to record the spectrum of the chlorophyll fluorescence and the variation of the chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum with time. The chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum of tobacco leaves expressing GFP was compared to that of control leaves. A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera was used to image the fluorescence from GFP expressing and control tobacco leaves to investigate the effect of GFP genes on chlorophyll fluorescence in relation to the state of the plant material. The spectral analysis technique and image processing procedures were elaborated in order to obtain better information on chlorophyll fluorescence. The results of this work show that the experimental setups and analytical procedures that were devised and used are suitable for laser induced chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. Fluorescence bleaching could be obtained from the time variation of the fluorescence spectrum, and plant expressing GFP can be distinguished from control plants by differences in the laser induced chlorophyll fluorescence.

On March 1, 2022, the EUA hosted a webinar entitled Women in academia: breaking the glass ceiling or rebuilding the house? In the U.S., we have often talked about the glass ceiling(s) and thus, I was intrigued by the notion of ‘rebuilding the house” which I believe is the path to follow. Although ‘breaking the glass ceiling’ is still important, I would encourage efforts that take on the system (the house) and rebuild it to be more inclusive, welcoming, and affirming.
Prior to the webinar, the EUA published a report in November 2019 which provided an overview of inclusion and diversity at 159 higher education institutions in 36 European systems and provided the foundation for university leadership to develop and implement strategies to build more inclusive higher education. The webinar presentations and discussion were mostly about women in academia including those in leadership positions in Europe. The panelists provided an update on demographic data and interactive website, and strove to address the following questions: Is gender parity now a reality in academia? Are more women from all backgrounds taking on leadership positions in academia? How can academia benefit from this cultural change?
The panelists shared detailed information about women in European higher education, offered their reflections on women in academia and their journey to leadership, and shared some strategies for change. The panelists and links to their presentations included:
- Annick Castiaux, Rector, University of Namur, Belgium (narrative about her journey into academic leadership – see YouTube recording)
- Mina Stareva, Head of Sector – Gender, DG Research and Innovation, European Commission
- Ella Ghosh, Senior Advisor at the Committee for Gender Balance and Diversity in Research (KIF), Norway
- Kathrin Müller, project manager, U-Multirank, Germany
- Kamila Kozirog, Policy & Project Officer, EUA
- Thomas Jørgensen, Senior Policy Coordinator, EUA
The webinar and the handouts are available on the EUA website and YouTube Channel. On this topic and others (open science, inclusion, teaching/learning), the EUA has made tremendous progress over the past 20+ years of its existence and nations around the world, including the U.S., should take note and learn from their experiences.
Although the focus of the webinar was about women in academia, there was also some mention of others who tend to be marginalized from and within academia. From my perspective, inclusion of this kind will need rebuilding of the system and will require systemic change.
Toward the end of the webinar, the issue of work-life balance arose and was quickly identified primarily as for women (and men) around child care. The notion of work-life balance also applied to elder care. In the U.S., we have had these discussions and have expanded these work-life balance efforts however they are so named but they are still mostly situated from the gender perspective. Work-life initiatives should be expanded beyond the notion of work life balance routinely beyond gender and family responsibilities to include others experiencing work-life disruption due to personal crisis and individual challenges such as disability, mental and physical health, and even social injustices. At the Virginia Tech Graduate School, the work-life assistance program also started with female graduate students for birth and adoption and expanded to include male graduate students within a couple of years. More recently, the program was expanded to include what we called significant life events (e.g., elder care, family or personal crisis, death).
Shall we break the glass ceiling or rebuild the house? We must change the system and rebuild the house.

Bipolar disorder is claimed to be the sixth leading cause of disability in the world. This is a condition that has been described as being manic-depressive but is actually a lot more complicated than that.
It is a disorder in which the sufferer switches between episodes of depression and mania in varying degrees of intensity.
It affects feelings, behavior, perceptions, and thoughts and is more common in people whose families have a history of some kind of mental illness, so in fact, it is hereditary. Continue reading “Getting a Bearing on Bipolar Disorder”

Investigators have allegedly targeted over sixty members of the European Parliament, most of whom are leftists, as a part of a probe into the European Parliament corruption scandal in which Qatar’s autocratic regime allegedly sought to influence the institution by bribing its officials.
The ongoing corruption scandal, initially revealed to the public last week with the arrest of European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili and former Italian MEP Pier Antonio Panzeri, who had €1.5 million in cash seized from their homes, may be much larger in scope than had been originally expected, with the Belgian judiciary allegedly investigating more than 60 MEPs, most of whom are members of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) grouping, according to FOCUS ONLINE.
As Politico Europe reports:
[Panzeri’s] family, investigators write, appeared wise to his illicit behavior, according to the warrant seeking their extradition to Belgium from Italy.
Panzeri’s wife, Maria Dolores Colleoni, and his daughter Silvia Panzeri “seem to be fully aware of the activities,” it says, “and to even participate in the transport of the gifts.”
The man behind these gifts? Abderrahim Atmoun, Morocco’s ambassador to Poland, according to the document.
Pazeri’s wife and daughter remain in Italian custody after having been arrested on December 8th. Almost surely, the two will be extradited to Belgium where they could face prison terms up to five years.
As The European Conservative previously reported, last Tuesday, December 13th, Greek MEP Eva Kaili was removed from her post as a vice president of the European Parliament after lawmakers voted with an overwhelming majority of 625 in favor and one against. Presently, Kaili is in custody at Saint-Gilles and is set to appear on Thursday before a Belgian court.
If found guilty, Kaili could face up to 15 years behind bars.

Praises and Prayers for the Columbia Astronauts
The BAPS-Shri Swaminarayan Mandir organized a special memorial prayer meeting on behalf of all the members of the Indo-American community on Saturday, February 8, for the seven brilliant astronauts who died tragically aboard the space shuttle Columbia on February 1. The Hon. Consul General of India Mr. S.R. Tayal along with his wife Ms. Kusum Tayal, Dr. Kamlesh Lulla, Chief Scientist for Earth observations at NASA and Mr. Banarasilal Chawla, father of the Indian-born astronaut Dr. Kalpana Chawla attended the prayer meeting. Members of several Indian organizations in the Greater Houston area also attended the prayer meeting and paid their homage to the astronauts.
Mr. Pinakin Jaradi of BAPS stated, "Param Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj, saints and members of BAPS have all prayed so that the souls of the astronauts attain eternal peace and their families find strength and courage to face this tragic loss." Dr. Kamlesh Lulla then paid glowing tributes to Dr. Kalpana Chawla, popularly known as "KC" at NASA. He made a slide presentation on "KC" which covered her training as an astronaut candidate, her two flights into space and her observations from space. He recalled, "She was an excellent scientist and an avid pilot that every shuttle commander wanted on his crew." Dr. Lulla said that she was a karmayogi with the gift of goddess Saraswati. In his eulogy, Hon. Consul General Mr. Tayal said, "She has done both India, the country of her birth, and America her adopted country proud." He added, "Dr. Chawla symbolized the intrepid heights to which the human spirit can soar."
Melodious bhajans in Hindi were sung by the youths of BAPS. This was followed by a solemn ceremony with the lighting of seven candles, one for each astronaut, by Mr. Banarsilal Chawla, Hon. Consul General and his wife and Dr. Lulla, amidst the chanting of the Shanti Paath.

The NHL's bubble setup, a multi-month project which spanned two cities and shielded the league's players from the COVID-19 pandemic long enough to crown a Stanley Cup champion, was a resounding and sustained success.
But next season is on the horizon, the novel coronavirus pandemic is still a destabilizing force across North America and plans have to be considered for how to produce the NHL's next safe setup -- this time with more teams, more games and, hopefully, eventually fans in attendance.
"The number one thing I'm hearing from the NHL is the reason this worked with the return to play is because they waited," Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman said during the Saturday Headlines segment of Hockey Night In Canada. "And they are not going to rush into anything, they are not going to feel pressure to announce anything until they're absolutely certain of what's the best-case scenario for them."
The NHL and NHLPA had tentatively agreed to aim for a Dec. 1 start to the 2020-21 campaign. However, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said recently he wouldn’t be surprised if the start of next season was pushed back later into December or even into January -- with the main reason for the delay being to determine if some fans could safely attend games, as the league and its franchises rely on ticket sales as a key source of revenue.
Beyond scheduling and fan attendance, the return-to-play variables to consider are wide-ranging, too -- including how border crossings would work, what quarantine periods would look like and protocols to have in place for if a player were to test positive.
To that end, Friedman noted, the players are forming a committee which will be finalized this week, and begin engaging with the league on discussions for next steps the following week.
As those specific steps are being hammered out, one option that won't be considered is replicating the bubble design.
"The NBA bubble was $170 million, they estimated," Friedman said. "The NHL bubbles are going to come in somewhere between $75-$90 million. And that's kind of the reason we're not going to see bubbles again -- it was tough on everybody, and they got through their financial commitments that were necessary, but it's not something that we're going to see."

Mackinaw City in Cheboygan County, Michigan — The American Midwest (Great Lakes)
Mackinaw City Historical Pathway
When Patrick Sinclair moved Fort Michilimackinac from the mainland to Mackinac Island in 1780, he recognized the need for a saw mill to provide lumber for the new fort and adjoining community buildings. Sinclair granted private claim 334, consisting of 640 acres south of Fort Michilimackinac to Robert Campbell. A small stream on the property provided enough water to power a mill for several minutes each day during the spring and early summer.
Over the years, lumber from Campbell's mill was used to construct many of the buildings on Mackinac Island, including Mission Church. Robert Campbell died in 1808 and his heirs eventually sold the property to Michael Dousman for one thousand dollars. Dousman continued supplying the garrison with lumber, and expanded the enterprise to include other provisions such as beef, flour, barrels and hay.
It is unknown exactly when Mill Creek was abandoned, but local history places the date around 1839. Three avocational archaeologists from Cheboygan, Ellis Olsen, Mary Olsen and Margaret Lentini are credited with re-discovering the site in 1972. Archaeological excavations beginning in 1973
