This blog is taken from a recent HealthStream webinar entitled “MDS Changes are Coming: What You Need to Know.” The webinar was moderated by Caroline Acree, Senior Marketing Manager and featured Tracy Cooley, RN, BSN, Senior Success Manager.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the final version of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 version 1.18.11 for implementation on October 1, 2023. This update includes some of the most significant changes seen in the last ten years and have a far-reaching impact on reimbursement, regulatory, compliance, quality of care, and more. So, with the release of the final version of the MDS 3.0 version 1.18.11 going into effect, what do healthcare leaders need to know to prepare?
Cooley began by describing these changes as the most significant changes to the MDS in over a decade. There are 29 revised data elements with the goal of achieving standardized reporting across a variety of post-acute settings such as skilled nursing facilities, home health, inpatient rehabilitation centers, and long-term care hospitals.
Some additional changes were made as a result of the Impact Act which was developed by CMS to facilitate the exchange of information across post-acute care settings and other providers. There will be six new Standardized Patient Assessment Data Elements (SPADEs) to be collected on admission and discharge including: ethnicity, health, literacy, language, race, social isolation, and transportation measures.
Leaders should plan to address changes in the following areas:
Cooley recommends that skilled nursing facilities begin to address the changes now and shared the following recommendations.
The most significant changes to the MDS in the last decade will go into effect on October 1st. Due to far reaching impacts of the MDS process, leaders need to prepare now. Contact HealthStream today to learn more about how to meet these new requirements.

The most important meeting this year on the calendar of the Chinese Communist Party opened Oct 20 in Beijing and runs through Oct. 23. At the Fourth Plenary Session of Central Committee of the 18th National Party Congress there are 5 issues that can be expected to be covered.
How Far Will Judicial Reform Go?
“With a law that cannot be put into practice, the law would simply be useless words. And the rule of law would be an empty talk,” said head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Xi Jinping during the central political conference in January this year. “Lax law enforcement and unjust judicial system are the results of only a handful of police officers have a sense of professional moral values.”
“Some of the lawyers, judges and prosecutors are working together. And together they become some sort of judicial brokers,” Xi said.
Chinese people have long held grievances because of corruption in the public security, procuratorial organs, and courts, which were all under the supervision of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee.
There has been an official effort to dampen hopes for radical change.
South China Morning Post on Oct. 16 quoted the Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily as saying, “It concerns us that some people expect the Fourth Plenum to perfect the country’s rule of law overnight and even offer solutions to all problems.”
Who Will Be Promoted?
Five members of the Central Committee—Jiang Jiemin, Li Dongsheng, Li Chuncheng, Wang Yongchun, and Wan Qingliang—have had their Party memberships revoked as part of Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign. At the Plenum they will also be stripped of their positions in the Central Committee.
Jiang Jiemin and Wang Yongchun were kicked out of the party because of corruption in the oil industry. Li Chuncheng and Li Dongsheng, the former deputy secretary of the Ministry of Public Security, were under investigation for ties to Zhou, while Wan Qingliang, the former Guangzhou party boss, was expelled because of extortion and bribery.
Jiang, Wang, and Li Dongsheng are all important members of the faction loyal to former Party head Jiang Zemin. Jiang Jiemin, Li Dongsheng, Li Chuncheng, and Wang Youngchun are all known to have played significant roles in persecuting the spiritual practice of Falun Gong.
Chinese media has reported that it is unprecedented for 5 members of Central Committee are removed at the same time.
According to Wenweipo, a Hong Kong based newspaper, the leading two reserve candidates on the Central Committee that are likely to be promoted are Ma Jiangtang, director of the National Bureau of Statistics and Wang Zuoan, director of the State Administration for Religious Affairs.

ASST. CAMPUS LIFE EDITOR
Recently I’ve noticed a trend of people saying that Asian people are not “people of color” and should be considered “white.” I think this stems from the idea that some people view Asian people as the “model minority.” This is the idea that certain minorities, usually in reference to Asian Americans, do better academically, socioeconomically, etc., than other minorities, and that other minorities should use them as a model to do better. This is problematic in and of itself, as it pits minorities against each other when we should all be working together. But regardless of whether Asian people have more privilege or not, privilege does not equate to whiteness.
Nathan Lam from the Asian Student Association explained it as “they [asian people] might seem white compared to that, but they’re not white. It’s just a different history, so I can see how people get tricked into thinking that sometimes but they’re [asian people] definitely not white.” White only applies to people that are non-hispanic, and of european decent. A “person of color” is anyone that is not white regardless of privilege or behavior. Asian people, or any other people of color, for that matter, should not have to talk about how they have been marginalized in order to prove that they are not white.
On that note, while we should not even have to prove our place as minorities, Asian people have experienced racism in the past and continue to experience racism now. My mother was an immigrant who came to California in the late 1960s. While she was not treated as badly as some minorities at the time, she still experienced terrible racism. When asked about some of her experiences, she recounted one particularly haunting story: “I had a friend whose dad was racist; she even told us that he was. Every Time we’d go over to her house, he would be inside glaring out the window. We often went swimming in her pool while he glared, but he would drain the pool every single time we were done swimming because, in his eyes, our skin color meant that we were dirty.” This happened when she was a 1970s teenager in Cerritos, Calif., an area with a heavy Asian population.
One of the most well-known instances of racism against Asian people were the Japanese internment camps during World War II. From 1942 — 1945 although the last internment camp didn’t close until 1946, around 120,000 American citizens of Japanese descent were taken from their homes and put into these camps. The government knew that almost all of the Japanese-Americans did not pose a threat, but John DeWitt an army general that was in charge of the West Coast at the time explained, “A J—p’s a J—p. They are a dangerous element, whether loyal or not.” The 1944 court case, Korematsu v. United States, regarding the constitutional legality surrounding these internment camps ultimately ruled that the Japanese internment Camps were constitutional. Certain documents during the case were suppressed. These documents were from the Office of Naval Intelligence, stating there was no evidence that Japanese-Americans were acting as spies or sending signals to enemy submarines. While it isn’t widely talked about, Asian people still experience racism in the 21st century. This past summer, Harvard University went under scrutiny when they were sued by the Students for Fair Admissions. The action group analyzed around 160,000 Harvard applications that were submitted between 2000 and 2015. The results showed that Asian applicants were given lower scores on certain “personality traits,” such as likability, courage, kindness and being widely respected. This is racial bias and discrimination.
Amanda Lane, of the Asian Student Association said, “I think the racism against Asian-Americans comes through microaggressions more than it does through more obvious things. People don’t lynch Japanese people, but through microaggressions of being like ‘all Asian food stinks’ or things like that where people are saying those things with an underlying tone of ‘I know that this is going to hurt you because this is something that’s important to you,’ and they don’t realize that food is a really important part of a culture, and even just to say that a part of their culture isn’t accepted in America.” People aren’t always as aware of racism and microaggressions towards Asian people. As I have stated in a previous article for the QC, Alohomora:unlocking the themes behind J.K. Rowling’s fake diversity, “There have been sixteen films including actors in yellowface that came out between 2005 and 2015.” Even one film would be terrible, but the sixteen films in only ten years went through an extensive editing process (that requires the approval of hundreds of people along the way), and still got away with including yellow face.
This past Halloween, I was at a party and noticed a guy dressed up as a “rice farmer” in a conical straw hat and a chinese hanfu, or robe, with Japanese characters on it. This past summer, someone very close to me called me a racial slur without a hint of sarcasm,in his voice (not that that would have helped.) People make fun of “Asian” accents without being called out all the time, and if they are, they play it off as a joke and tell us to stop being uptight. My mother explained that she “feels like people like Asian culture, but they don’t like Asian people. They like our food, our travel destinations, our style, our video games, etc. But they don’t like us as people.”
Logan Paul, a well-known YouTuber, made headlines this past summer when he filmed a dead body in the Japanese “suicide forest.” That video was highly inappropriate for any culture, but especially in Japan, where respect is everything and suicide is even more a taboo than it is here. But something that almost nobody talked about, was what Logan Paul did in his Japan vlogs before. He dressed up in Pikachu kigurumis, or onesies; threw Pokéballs at random people walking by (including a policeman), harassed bystanders in a fish market, (where American tourists have previously been banned for obnoxious behavior), and even said, “I swear, Tokyo is just a giant playground.” While I would love to say this is just a product of him being a socially unaware person, and it is, it’s also a reflection of how many people view Asia. Many Americans view Japan, and other Asian countries, as bright, colorful lands with cartoon characters instead of human beings. Deep down, one of the reasons they think it’s acceptable to make fun of our accents and dress up in bastardizations of our traditional clothing is because they don’t see us as real people.
Andrew Gallegos of the Asian Student Association explained, “I think it’s just that people need to be more open-minded and willing to try different things rather than kind of just shutting it all out and saying, ‘well, I’m not familiar with this, so I’m not even gonna try it.’” He backs this up by continuing, “and I think that definitely comes across with food, cause I know people who are like ‘Oh well, I’m not going there because I dont know whats on the menu I dont know whats in their stuff’ and the way that they say it – you can tell that it’s not just because they want a list of ingredients, it’s a little deeper than that.” While that wouldn’t seem to apply to people seeing us as cartoon characters, it is. People want to see Asians as one thing, despite the fact that there are 48 countries in Asia. Within each country there are so many diverse and beautiful personalities, but only what they want to see us on a surface level.
We’re all so diverse, even within our respective cultures and we’re so much more than the surface-level stereotypes. I’ve been told countless times, “You don’t act very Asian” to which I reply “What do Asian people act like?” I do act Asian, simply because I am Asian. ‘Asian’ isn’t a personality. Grouping every Asian person into a stereotype shows that people only want surface-level stereotypes and don’t care enough to dig deeper and see us all as complex unique human beings.
That is why it is ridiculous for people to say that we don’t deserve to be people of color. Although we don’t experience nearly as much racism as other minorities, but we shouldn’t be competing. We aren’t white and we’ve been marginalized; shouldn’t that be enough? So, instead of being rivals, why don’t we work together to empower each other as people of color?

In London Ontario St. Joseph’s Hospital is taking it to the next level by thinking green in its final phase of redevelopment, part of a greater initiative set out in 1997 to integrate London’s hospital system and build on St. Joseph’s leading teaching hospital and specialized acute care clinics and programs.
Green and innovative initiatives will be taken into account for the 70,000 square-feet of renovations to one quadrant of the hospital and a 65,000 square-foot addition that will replace an existing one at the corner of Richmond and Grosvenor streets — opening up more green space on the lawn and adding a convenient and accessible drop off and lobby entrance for patients and family to connect to patient care programs.
The redesign of these two areas of the hospital will incorporate ways of being environmentally friendly, as part of its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver — St. Joseph’s new mental health buildings are LEED Gold. By innovating, reusing and preserving historical elements of the hospital, St. Joseph’s will be fusing the old with the new when going green.
This renewal will allow St. Joseph’s to fully embrace its new role where day surgeries and specialized acute care clinics and programs have replaced traditional hospital stays. Renovations taking place inside the east building focus on creating a state-of-the-art facility, which will consolidate outpatient clinics and programs such as pulmonary function, cardiac rehabilitation, pain management, asthma, allergy, respirology, chronic obstructive lung disease and infectious diseases. These clinics and programs will enjoy brighter, barrier-free spaces that facilitate care, research and teaching.
“This next phase of transformation redefines what hospitals will be in the future,” says Dr. Gillian Kernaghan, president and CEO of St. Joseph’s. “One of four people live with diabetes, cardiac disease, lung disease or infectious disease. St. Joseph’s can help people live well given the best treatment and advice to help them manage their own health while focusing on preventing complications related to any of these conditions.”
Two outmoded wings at the front of the building facing Grosvenor will be taken down and replaced with a new façade providing a more convenient and accessible drop off with an accessible lobby area.
Inside the entranceway, “talking elevators” will take patients to their desired clinic or program improving upon connecting patients and family to care programs in that area, notes Dave Crockett, vice president, facilities planning at St. Joseph’s.
Outside, the original stone foundation of the building will encase a new “living wall” of green, which will preserve trees and the statue of St. Joseph. Patients, visitors, staff and the community will all be able to enjoy the healing garden, an oasis in downtown London.
“Part of the green-thinking is preserving the heritage of the building by using the old foundation as part of the new garden walls,” says Crockett. Next door to this area is the Chapel, built in 1915, which will also be preserved during the renovations. Additional items that will be preserved and included in the new facilities are some of St. Joseph’s historical artifacts such as a stained glass window, terrazzo tile and a rare species of Magnolia tree to London, the Cucumber Magnolia Tree.
The last phase of renovations will have a tremendous impact on the people who work and visit the hospital from an environmental point of view, as well as greatly improving the energy efficiency of the building.

The Alumni Council challenges you to help us complete Charis! As alumni, this is our chance to take part. Can you imagine enjoying your Starbucks coffee (yes, we said Starbucks!) without a place to sit or do your work? Let’s show the students that their alumni family has their back — literally!
The goal is to raise $35,000 — funding to provide comfy study loungers and cafe bistro tables, install a living moss wall for vitality and fresh air, all to complement the contemporary wall and floor palette.
Make your dollar count TWICE! One of our alumni family has stepped up to match every dollar WE contribute to this project up to $17,500 — that’s half of the goal! This means….if only 10% of all alumni contribute just $25, we would easily achieve our goal! We’ve got this!
What's a home without beautiful walls? The carefully selected palette will bring this space to life and go a long way at completing the look and feel of this space.
Charis features lounge spaces with comfortable furniture in contemporary styling to compliment the space and promote social connection.
Along a stunning mosaic wall to the outdoors, bistro sets will allow students to study or simply enjoy their favourite beverage in style.
Moss walls turn a bland interior into something stunning. Beyond the beauty of nature indoors, this wall boasts incredible scientific benefits including improved air quality, lowered stress and lower energy consumption.

It was a slow sports weekend, so I watched a couple of baseball games ... from 1978.
The YES Network, home of the New York Yankees, replayed some Yankee Classics -- shockingly, the channel shows only games the Yankees win -- and the two games I watched were Game 3 from the World Series against the Dodgers and the famous AL East tiebreaker game against the Red Sox at Fenway, aka The Bucky Dent Game or The Bucky $*@!#!*! Dent Game.
It's fun to look back at old games like these from time to time, not only to see how much the game has changed, but also to see how much it hasn't changed. Though today's baseball players are certainly bigger and stronger, I would bet the game changed more from 1938 to 1978 than it did from 1978 to 2018.
I turned 9 years old in 1978 and watched that World Series game -- indeed, this was the game in which Graig Nettles made several outstanding plays in the field, and I certainly remember that. The tiebreaker game would have happened when I was in school, and though ABC televised the game with Keith Jackson and Don Drysdale on the call, the only version you ever see is the Yankees' broadcast with Bill White, Frank Messer and Phil Rizzuto.
Ron Guidry, Mr. Louisiana Lightning himself, started both games for the Yankees. This was the season of his life, when he went 25-3, tossed 16 complete games and nine shutouts, and finished second to Jim Rice in the MVP voting. Who would win this vote today?
Guidry: 25-3, 1.74 ERA, 273⅔ IP, 248 SO, 9.6 WAR
Rice: .315/.370/.600, 46 HR, 139 RBIs, 121 R, 7.6 WAR
In 1978, Rice collected 20 of the 28 first-place votes. Rice's 406 total bases were the most since Stan Musial in 1948 and the most in the AL since Joe DiMaggio in 1937, and I think that was a big deal at the time. Rice had a monster season, but now we'd be more aware of park effects (Rice hit .361 with 28 home runs at home and .269 with 18 home runs on the road) and probably penalize him more for starting 49 games at DH (before even getting into the difference in WAR, which, of course, didn't exist in 1978).
Anyway, some general observations from the games:
--The first thing I noticed (besides the game not being in HD): The players are much thinner. My wife walked into the room at one point and after asking -- with a very puzzled look -- what game I was watching, she commented, "They all look skinny."
--Even the big sluggers like Rice and Reggie Jackson don't look as physically imposing as some of today's big sluggers. I remember Rice as an intimidating presence at the plate, but he looks more like a basketball player, trim and lean. He's listed at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds. Reggie is listed at 6 feet, 195 pounds.
--It's a good thing most of the players are thin, because those polyester pullovers the Red Sox are wearing don't hide much in the middle. Red Sox first baseman George Scott could not have been happy with those pullovers. At one point, Red Sox manager Don Zimmer comes out to talk with Mike Torrez. Let's just say Zimmer wasn't missing too many meals in those days.
--Lack of batting gloves. Some players wear them, many don't, some wear one glove. Very few players go without them today, with Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter being the most prominent player who doesn't wear them.
--Unusual batting stances. Roy White of the Yankees is completely hunched over at the plate, his head leaning out over the plate like he's trying to peek through a keyhole. Chris Chambliss has a less severe hunch. Slap-hitting Mickey Rivers is also crouched way down, à la Pete Rose. Dodgers fans will certainly remember Steve Garvey's completely upright and motionless stance (which teammate Bill Russell emulated). You don't really see guys hitting like that anymore.
--Choking up on the bat. Still a thing in 1978. Not a thing in 2018. Guys like Rivers and Dent and Russell are just trying to put the ball in play, not really even trying to drive it. That kind of player doesn't exist anymore, except in the very rare form of a Dee Gordon or Billy Hamilton type.
--Pitchers working fast. In the World Series game, Guidry and Don Sutton both work very quickly. When you watch these games and see how much faster the game pace is, you absolutely would be in favor of a pitch clock. The pace of baseball today isn't necessarily killing the sport, but I'm with the commissioner on this one: The game would be better if the pace picked up. The Yankees won the World Series game 5-1 and it lasted only 2:27. The game wasn't without baserunners, mind you -- there were a combined 18 hits and 10 walks (Guidry went the distance even though he allowed eight hits and seven walks). The tiebreaker game was slower, lasting 2:52. In 2018, there were 33 postseason games played. Only two were shorter than 3:12, and only one was under 3 hours. (Yes, longer commercial breaks play into the longer game times.)
--Smoking in the stands. When did ballparks crack down on this? I remember going to a game in Kansas City when I was in high school and the guy next to me started smoking. (I asked him to stop, and though he got ticked off, he did. So it must have been sometime in the late '80s or early '90s.)
--Hard slides at second base. The "Hal McRae Rule" was in effect in 1978 -- which meant baserunners had to be able to touch the bag with their slide into second base, a rule that resulted from McRae's notorious takeout of Willie Randolph in the 1977 ALCS -- but it doesn't seem like the umpires were calling it. In the second inning of the World Series game, Chambliss basically barrel-rolls into Davey Lopes at second base. On the very next play, Brian Doyle does the same thing and doesn't come close to the bag. The Doyle slide, in particular, would be illegal today and probably lead to a brawl and 24 hours of Twitter fights.
--Bad hair. Lots of bad hair. I suppose 40 years from now, we'll say the same thing about 2018: "Beards. Lots of bad beards."
--Yes, Nettles could really play third base. Here's one play he made in Game 3:
Nettles was a vastly underrated player, a fabulous defender who also hit 390 home runs in his career. As Bill James once observed, when Nettles came along in the early 1970s, Brooks Robinson was still active and had already established himself as the pre-eminent defender at the hot corner in the game's history. The public wasn't ready to anoint Nettles as his equal. Baseball-Reference credits Nettles with 68.0 WAR in his career, which would make him a Hall of Fame candidate.
--Did the pitchers throw as hard? No, of course not, but the idea that everyone was throwing 85 mph 40 years ago (except Nolan Ryan) isn't true either. Guidry would fit right in today with his fastball/slider combo. It looks like he would vary his slider, throwing one that darted more down and one that would swoop more across the plate. Torrez had a fastball that had pretty good zip at times and would mix in a slow curve -- a pitch you don't really see these days. Sutton threw the whole kitchen sink, including a screwball. He looks like he's barely putting any effort into his delivery, so I doubt he was throwing 90. Goose Gossage pitched in the tiebreaker game and, of course, had a big-time fastball. Today, he'd throw 65 innings instead of 130 and reach 100 mph.
--Guidry looked gassed in the World Series and didn't have a good game with those seven walks -- and yet Bob Lemon let him go the distance and face 39 batters. That's four times through the lineup and the top three hitters a fifth time. Take that, 2018 pitchers. Nettles bailed him out a couple of times, the Dodgers left 11 runners on and Lee Lacy grounded into two double plays.
--Thurman Munson had a bad shoulder, although the Dodgers weren't able to take advantage in the running game, going just 1-for-2 on stolen base attempts, with Munson catching Russell in the first inning on a bad one-hop throw. But even the idea of a running game was omnipresent, much more so than today.
--Tony Kubek and Joe Garagiola were outstanding in the booth for the World Series game. You can sense their excitement and enthusiasm for the game. Tom Seaver, still an active player, joined them in the booth and it really felt like three guys just talking about baseball. I love Kubek and Garagiola telling Seaver, "I told you!" after the Nettles play. As a National League guy, Seaver apparently wasn't buying into the Nettles defensive hype. Might be a good idea to try adding an active player into the booth for playoff games. This was done all the time back then, with guys like Seaver, Reggie and Jim Palmer all doing postseason broadcasting while still playing.
--It's hard not to notice the large African-American presence that's now largely missing from baseball. The Yankees had Rivers, White, Reggie and Chambliss in the starting lineup, while the Dodgers had Lopes, Reggie Smith, Dusty Baker, Lacy and Bill North.
--Oh, here's the Bucky Dent home run off Torrez:
--The one thing everyone forgets about that game -- or doesn't know -- is that it wasn't over after Dent's home run. That made it 3-2 in the seventh. The Yankees added another run that inning and Reggie homered in the top of the eighth off Bob Stanley. The Red Sox scored twice off Gossage in the bottom of the eighth. Lou Piniella would save the day in the bottom of the ninth with this play:
That came with one out. Rice was the next batter and flew out to right field -- Rick Burleson would have scored if he'd gone to third on the hit to Piniella. Carl Yastrzemski then popped out to end it.
Anyway, both games are available online. I'm not saying baseball was better back then. Indeed, if anything, after watching 1978 baseball, you'll realize this about the game in 2018: (1) Hitting is much more difficult now, given how hard the pitchers throw; (2) Pitching is much more difficult now, given how much better the hitters are.

Coastal Land- and Sea-Use Zoning Plan of the Province of Bataan
Integrated land- and sea-use zoning plan for Bataan completed at provincial level; adopted in 2007, supported by PEMSEA (Partnership for Environmental Management of Seas of East Asia).
Water Use Zoning for the Sustainable Development of Batangas Bay
The planning of human uses in the Philippines has always been focused on land use planning. The innovative Batangas Bay Water Zoning Pilot Project, undertaken by the Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) and published in 1999, examined the zoning of sea uses in Batangas Bay. The size of the study area (land and sea) was 674 km2. Despite the archipelagic nature of the Philippines (almost 90% of the Philippines is marine waters), sea or water use planning was non-existent. While there was selective zoning of certain sea areas, these were mainly traffic separation schemes, marine protected areas (Tubbataha Reef National Park), and areas for coastal tourism that were loosely connected to land use planning.
The water use zonation scheme (functional zonation) was a response to the frequent occurrences of multiple resource use conflicts. It was seen as a effective tool for integrating environmental issues such as marine pollution into land use planning. As a pioneering effort, legislative and other institutional considerations would have to be established before the plan was implemented. They never were.
Updates will be posted on this website as MSP activities in Philippines develop.

I am surprised this book is not VASTLY more popular. It is the original conversation between Andrew Carnegie and Napoleon Hill. It is in interview format and far shorter than Hill's other works. I immensely enjoyed hearing the words "from the horses mouth". I found it fascinating that Hill was actually given the 17 Principles of Success before his 20 years of research.
I require anyone who works for me to read this book before seeing any of my clients. The chapter about going extra mile is worth the price of the book by itself. The only weak point of the book are the last 2 chapters, which were penned entirely by Hill. I have read all the books from Hill, and this one is by far my favorite. The Laws of Success comes a close second, but is WAY longer.
Do yourself a favor and hear "How to Raise Your Own Salary" directly from Andrew Carnegie himself!

'The weather forecast says it will clear later in the day' I reply.
'Right when we're nearly back' says Ms Gloom and Doom.
'Well walk slower,' I say.
'I'm actually not worried about the views, I'm just doing it for the walk'
'Well at least you won't get sunburnt then'.
Got my toast and left Ms Gloom and Doom to be miserable on her own.
Despite Ms Gloom and Doom's fears, it turned out to be a picture perfect day, if a little blow-you-off-the- mountain windy across the top. Weather Gods came through again! The Devil's staircase was really a doddle compared to some of the other climbs we had done so Majella rocked it in. The walk out was harder on us though. The descent was over 12km long and my right leg was over it by the end.
We saw a couple of TA hikers coming the other way, including Brett, who I had come across before. I didn't envy them having to climb up our descent with full packs - not one single bit.

As any Back to the Future fan knows, October 21st is designated as Back to the Future Day. This is because, in Back to the Future Part II, Marty and Doc travel way into the future – October 21, 2015. And, as any Tidbit fan knows, Back to the Future is one of the things that keeps my heart beating. As such, it’s a topic I write about often (and discuss even more often).
To celebrate this momentous day, I wanted to share the top three Tidbit articles about the iconic trilogy – this number of articles not only aligns with the number of BTTF films, but also aligns with the number of BTTF shirts that I own. (One of these articles was even read and shared by Lea Thompson, AKA Lorraine McFly!)


CANTON - The town Planning Board has hatched up new regulations that, if approved, would allow people to raise chickens in the towns residential zones regardless of their property size.
The new proposal replaces a proposed zoning law that was rejected by the town council in May after opponents plucked it apart for various reasons.
Many residents objected to the original proposal because it required residential property owners to have a minimum of 3 acres in order to raise chicken on their property. In its review, the St. Lawrence County Planning Board also recommended against setting a minimum lot size.
We dropped the acreage entirely, said Planning Board Chair Michael K. Morgan. That was the biggest obstacle we were facing with everyone.
The 3-acre minimum was eliminated because it would rule out many residents from raising chickens, he said.
Mr. Morgan said the planning board has reached a consensus about what should be included in the new proposal. Those recommendations are expected to be reviewed at the town boards Oct. 7 meeting. That session will start at 5 p.m. in the Rensselaer Falls Village Office, Main Street.
Those include limiting residential property owners to a maximum of six chickens and not allowing roosters. The original law did not set a limit on the number of birds, but it also prohibited roosters.
The planning board also wants to require chicken growers to have an enclosed coop with a fenced-in chicken run thats a minimum of 10-feet by 10 feet in size.
Thats mostly to prevent wandering in neighbors yards and protect the chickens from prey, Mr. Morgan said.
Those who want chickens would be required to submit a site plan for review. Neighbors would be notified, but not required to give their approval, under the prosed regulations.
The towns residential zones include sections of county routes 27 and 32, Hale Road, Judson Street Road, Miner Street Road, Woodmere Drive, and Route 310. Residents in the towns rural zones are already allowed to raise chickens without restrictions.
The village allows property owners to raise chickens in residential zones if their neighbors dont object.
Mr. Morgan said he is working on a rough draft of the planning board proposal. If the town council wishes, it would then direct Town Attorney Charles B. Nash to write the proposed law. A public hearing would be scheduled to allow input from residents.
Earlier this year, two residents of Woodmere Drive objected to altering the zoning code in residential areas. They also criticized town officials for not always enforcing the zoning laws that are already on the books.

Pakistani politicians and army officials blamed people of East Pakistan as being burden on Pakistan’s treasury. They were called coward and beggars. Today, Bangladeshi economy is better than Pakistan’s. Today Bangladeshi Taka is better than the Pakistani Rupee in international market. Today, Pakistan is begging Bangladesh to play cricket in Pakistan with assurance to provide them full security so that the Pakistani image can be restored for holding international cricket events in Pakistan.
“There is no question that the situation in Baluchistan is alarming and needs urgent attention….Military operation cannot be the solution – Pakistan should not forget what happened in East Pakistan.”
First East Pakistan to Bangladesh and now towards Baluchistan to Independent Baluchistan, political reasons may be un-identical but the tale of injustices; ignorance and autocratic behaviour of Pakistani establishment and civilian federal bureaucracy remain the same.
In 1969, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto addressed students at Liaquat Medical College, Jamshoro, Sindh. He was allowed to speak on the condition that he would not talk about politics. However, in his speech, he said being a political animal, he could not refrain from speaking on the subject. He said the following:
– If Shah Lateef were alive today, he would be behind the bars. For all his poetry is based on democratic ideas.
– One unit is an evil. Were Shah Bhitai alive today, he would oppose One Unit.
– A child’s education should be in his/her mother tongue. No doubt Urdu and Bengali are national languages, I feel and as a minister I tried that Sindhi children be educated in Sindh.

Supreme Court decision to give a rare second extension to Justice Khalil Ramday and appoint Justice Rahmat Hussain Jafferi as an ad hoc judge confirms that there are two laws in the country: one for the powerful, other for the weak; one for the rich, other for the poor; one for the Supreme Court, other for the rest of the country!
Please note that the Supreme Court has been hearing and deciding the fate of many government officials who have been given extensions or have been re-employed after their retirement. How will the court hear such cases anymore? What will be its credibility in other cases?

A collaborative response to a global pandemic
When the COVID-19 virus was declared a global pandemic, businesses of all sizes from coast-to-coast were faced with difficult decisions. Issues of cash flow, payroll, rent, and how to meet shifting and uncertain customer demand needed to be addressed – and none of us had a playbook for this black swan event. It quickly became clear to all business leaders that the strength of existing supply chains was going to play an important role in dealing with the unexpected.
At McCarthy Uniforms, our team reflected on the situation and evaluated our options. Should we retreat and wait for the recovery? Or could we use our skills and resources to support our communities, even at the expense of profit? As we considered the possibilities, we looked at the situation through the filter of our corporate purpose. Our company has been serving Canadians with uniforms and other accessories for more than 60 years, and we have always been guided by a belief that we exist to help communities work, learn and play together. We have seen firsthand that communities that are made stronger by uniforms and the sense of shared values and purpose they create. We knew our pride in creating strong communities was made possible by our existing supply chain partners, who have always played a critical role in ensuring we can meet – and exceed – our customers’ expectations.
On the weekend of March 13, just prior to the official national lockdown, our team spent hours brainstorming and ideating, motivated by a common goal and passion to help our communities and our country. By the end of the weekend we had decided to focus our operations and efforts on two things – helping our customers and the communities we serve survive the crisis, and revisioning our business to help our customers post-crisis.
We immediately identified our strong supply chain relationships as a differentiator that would allow us to succeed. Our team takes great pride in our ability to procure, receive and distribute goods at scale for complex public and corporate organizations. Developing and honing those critical relationships has always been one of the things we do best.
We began leveraging our supply chain to produce and purchase critical personal protective equipment (PPE) including masks, gowns, sanitizers and medical grade scrubs. Our strong customer relationships meant we knew these items would be in-demand, which allowed us to begin the procurement process early on. Our strong global supplier relationships also meant that we could secure the PPE in the quality and quantity we needed, which is above standard for those leveraging a global supply chain network during COVID-19.
Since March, I am proud to say that we have connected front line workers with more than 200,000 units of PPE, while launching an e-commerce portal for direct-to-customer PPE orders and contributing to province-wide efforts to keep essential workers safe. Our efforts can’t and won’t stop there, however. As the pandemic continues, so to does the need for PPE.
Throughout it all, we’ve prioritized planning for what the world will look like post-crisis. We know our post-pandemic reality will be a new normal, and that we’ll have to innovate, evolve and change in order to thrive after the worst of COVID-19 has passed. We also know that our supply chain partners will be there with us every step of the way.
We’ve already begun making significant changes. McCarthy Uniforms is investing heavily in building and maintaining an inventory of PPE so that we can continue to meet the demands of workers and students prioritizing safety as we slowly return to work and school. We are innovating and evolving our distribution channels to allow for curb-side pick-up and a simplified online experience for our school uniform customers. We also continue to serve our significant workplace segment including public sector employees across healthcare and education, and private sector workers in a wide range of industries from construction to retail to food services to logistics.
As we collectively fight this global pandemic, our team has been inspired by the number of organizations that have stepped up to make a lasting difference by providing PPE to those in need. Those people and organizations are helping to save lives and ensure front line workers can safely go home to their families at the end of the day, and McCarthy Uniforms is proud to be playing a role in those efforts. It has galvanized our team around a common purpose during a difficult time and has demonstrated to our customers and communities that when they are in need, we will go the extra mile. Just like our supply chain partners.


US 6927381 B2
A photosensitive imaging device for recording images across the entire visible spectrum includes a set of photosensors which have a peak response around the orange part of the spectrum, about 600 nm. The peak response is obtained by combining responses of, in one case, photosensors associated with a filter which admits red or infrared wavelengths and longer and photosensors associated with a filter which admits orange wavelengths and longer. In another case, the photosensor is structured to attenuate longer wavelengths, which, in combination with a filter which admits orange and longer wavelengths, can simulate a peak behavior around the orange part of the spectrum.
1. A photosensitive imaging apparatus, comprising:
a first set of photosensors;
a first light-transmissive filter for admitting light of orange and longer wavelengths to the first set of photosensors; and
an infrared filter for blocking light of a substantially orange wavelength and longer wavelengths to the first set of photosensors.

This is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/841,279 filed Apr. 24, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,646,248 by the same inventors, and claims priority therefrom.
The following U.S. patents, all assigned to the assignee hereof, are hereby incorporated by reference for their teachings relating to the structure and operation of full-color photosensitive devices such as used in office equipment and digital cameras: U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,148,268 and 5,543,838.
The present invention relates to color photosensitive devices, such as used in image input scanners and digital cameras, wherein light from an image received by the device is converted to a set of image signals.
Monochrome image sensor arrays typically comprise a linear array of photosensors which raster scan an image bearing document and convert the reflected light from each microscopic image area viewed by each photosensor over time to image signal charges. Following an integration period, the image signals are amplified and transferred to a common output line or bus through successively actuating multiplexing transistors.
In a well-known design of a photosensitive device such as used in an image input scanner, separate linear arrays of photosensors are arranged in parallel on a single sensor bar, and caused to move in a scan direction relative to the original image generally perpendicular to the direction of the arrays. The photosensors in each array are provided with a filter thereon of one primary color. As the sensor bar including the three rows of photosensors moves along the original image, each portion of the area of the original image is exposed to each of the rows of photosensors. As each filtered row of photosensors moves past each particular area in the original image, signals according to the different primary color separations of that area are output by the particular photosensors in each row. In this way, three separate sets of signals, each relating to one primary color, will be produced by the linear arrays of photosensors.
In the general art of imaging, including the art of television and photographic film, it is known that the color-sensitive photoreceptors in the human eye tend to have gaussian responses which peak respectively at approximately in the blue, green, and orange parts of the spectrum, as opposed to the blue, green, and red parts to which electronic devices are typically sensitive. It would thus be desirable to have an imaging apparatus or film with a responsivity which “peaks” at orange (about 600 nm) rather than red (about 550 nm). Achieving this orange sensitivity has proven to be difficult. Light-transmissive filters which have a gaussian peak of admitting light at 600 nm exist, but tend to be difficult or expensive to manufacture.
The present invention is directed to techniques for designing a photosensitive imaging device wherein at least one set of photosensors is particularly sensitive (that is, has a response that substantially peaks) in the orange (approximately 600 nm) part of the visible spectrum.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,148,268 and 5,543,838, incorporated by reference above, disclose circuit designs for color image sensor arrays for recording full-color original images as digital data.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,496 discloses a video camera in which a yellow-orange filter and an infrared filter are used in combination; however, the reference does not disclose isolating the orange portion of the visible spectrum.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,914,749 discloses a color imaging device in which individual photosensors in an array are filtered to receive magenta, white, or yellow portions of the visible spectrum. The outputs from the various types of photosensors are subjected to mathematical algorithms to infer other primary colors in the image being recorded.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,201,293 is cited as a teaching of the general technique of placing light-transmissive filters over various photosensors in a silicon chip.
PCT Patent Application WO 91/13942 discloses a material suitable for an orange band-pass optical filter.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an imaging apparatus, comprising a first set of photosensors, for recording light of a substantially red wavelength and longer wavelengths, and a second set of photosensors, for recording light of a substantially infrared wavelength and longer wavelengths. Means are provided for subtracting signals from the second set of photosensors from signals from the first set of photosensors, thereby yielding difference signals substantially related to light of substantially orange wavelengths.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an imaging apparatus, comprising a first set of photosensors, having associated therewith a light-transmissive filter for admitting light of a substantially orange wavelength and longer wavelengths. The first set of photosensors has an epitaxial layer configured to have a decreasing response with increasing wavelengths of incident light over 600 nm.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an imaging apparatus, comprising a first set of photosensors, a first light-transmissive filter for admitting light of orange and longer wavelengths to the first set of photosensors and an infrared filter for blocking light of a substantially orange wavelength and higher wavelengths to the first set of photosensors.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an imaging apparatus, comprising a first set of photosensors, a first light-transmissive filter for admitting light of a substantially orange wavelength and longer wavelengths to the first set of photosensors, and a light source, for emitting light which is reflected by an image to be recorded. The light source has an emission spectrum which is attenuated in the infrared range.
Chips 12, which may, for example, be charge coupled devices (CCDs) or MOS sensor arrays, are relatively thin silicon dies having a generally rectangular shape. A set 16 of photosensor areas parallel the longitudinal axis of the chips. Other active elements such as shift registers, gates, pixel clock, etc., are preferably formed integrally with chips 12. Suitable external connectors (not shown) are provided for electrically coupling the chips 12 to related external circuitry.
As is well known in the art of designing full-color imaging devices, there is typically provided in a set 16 of photosensor areas different subsets of photosensors, each set being sensitive, by means of a light-transmissive color filter thereon, to one primary color. In a common design, different sets of photosensors are filtered to respond to blue, green, and red light. The outputs of the differently-filtered photosensors are then coordinated by downstream circuitry to realize a full-color image.
In the following descriptions of
Another technique to obtain a similar result as use of the infrared blocking filter is to design a light source, such as indicated as 107 in
In order to obtain the combination response of
It will be appreciated that various of the above-disclosed and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be desirably combined into many other different systems or applications. Also that various presently unforeseen or unanticipated alternatives, modifications, variations or improvements therein may be subsequently made by those skilled in the art which are also intended to be encompassed by the following claims.

Continuous Cycle of Growth
Continuous Cycle of Growth
September 22, 2012
You may enjoy a sense of being grounded and settled in your personal life today. You might feel content with your life circumstances or proud that your previous efforts to improve your situation have paid off. This sense of quiet satisfaction can be a lucrative time to explore the other areas of your life that you may still be working on. Today would be a good day to engage in a period of reflection on any goals that may be taking longer to manifest in your life. You might review your plans and organize your tasks in order to improve the efficiency of your efforts, or simply affirm that you are already doing all you can to bring your dreams to fruition.
We can use our quiet periods of contentment to plan and prepare for our next phase of growth and keep the cycle of improvement ongoing in our lives. It is easy to forget that our lives are a continuous process of improvement and feel a false sense of completion when we finish one phase of growth. While we can enjoy a feeling of contentment and satisfaction for our accomplishments, we must also keep looking forward and working on ways to expand our lives. By engaging in periods of reflection upon our next phase of growth, we are continuously lending our energy to the formation of better life circumstances. As you use this period of contentment to plan for the next part of your journey today, your intentions will lay the groundwork for your dreams to manifest.

Veragua seismic station installed
A third seismic station of the GREAT network started operating on Thursday, August 30th. It is located in Veragua Rain Forest park (www.veraguarainforest.com). The best part is that our colleagues at RSN managed to establish a continuous transmission link, illustrated by an image below. The data flow into the common system at RSN and will contribute to the task of routine earthquake monitoring, adding a much needed observing site on the eastern side of the Talamanca Mountains. Of course, trucks and tourists and toucans will be monitored as well...
I am sure service visits to the station will be a high point of the future work on the project.
Bravo, Luis Fernando!

If we were to define a platform bed using denotative terms, we would say it’s a bed designed to hold a mattress without the use of a box spring; it is, essentially, one giant “box spring” in and of itself. If, however, we were to define a platform bed using our terms, the definition would look something more along the lines of – a stylistic force to be reckoned with.
And no, we’re not exaggerating. We can appreciate a powerhouse design when we see one, and nowhere is design more powerhouse than in a platform bed. Strong, sleek and regal-like, it’s everything we love about interior design as a whole!
