Christine R. Wray announces Jan. 2022 retirement after 42 years of service in healthcare
CLINTON, Md. – Christine R. Wray, FACHE, president of MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center and MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital who also serves as a senior vice president for MedStar Health, announced that she will be retiring on January 28, 2022.
Wray was named president of MedStar Southern Maryland in September 2014, two years after MedStar Health acquired the hospital located in the Clinton area of Prince George’s County. With Wray at the helm, MedStar Southern Maryland saw the development and growth of several new service lines.
In 2016, the hospital received national recognition from U.S. News & World Report, having ranked among the top 50 of best hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery. In 2017, MedStar Southern Maryland joined the prestigious MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute-Cleveland Clinic Alliance. Wray also helped facilitate the opening of the MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute at MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center in February 2020. This 25,000 square foot facility offers unmatched medical expertise, leading-edge therapies, and access to robust clinical research, all under the same roof.
Moreover, the construction of MedStar Southern Maryland’s new Emergency Department (ED) expansion project took place under Wray’s leadership, and remained on schedule despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The $43 million ED expansion project has been deemed the largest construction project in the hospital’s history. The new emergency department opened its doors in April 2021 to provide local residents with seamless access to the most advanced care.
Wray’s focus on providing quality care has helped MedStar Southern Maryland build a foundation of excellence that will serve local communities for decades to come. MedStar Southern Maryland is grateful for the innumerable and lasting contributions that Wray made throughout her 42-year healthcare career.
“I have so cherished working with all of you in our commitment and service to our wonderful communities. It has truly been an honor and a privilege,” Wray said in an announcement that was emailed to hospital associates. “Please always be proud of the work you do and how you care for each other as you care for our patients. It is incredibly important work and you are the best of the best!”
Dr. Stephen Michaels, who currently serves as the chief operating and medical officer for MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, will take over as president of MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center.

Drug Monitoring Program May Help Curb Opioid Epidemic
This is the second in a four-part series on the opioid epidemic in our community.
When you hear the words State of Emergency your thoughts naturally turn to natural disasters, not drugs. But on March 1, Gov. Larry Hogan declared a State of Emergency in Maryland in response to the heroin, opioid and fentanyl crisis devastating communities throughout the state and the country.
“Our community has not gone untouched by this crisis,” said Jeremy Tucker, DO, medical director of the Emergency Department at MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital. “The sad truth is that we encounter the effects of this every day in our Emergency Department. The number of people we have coming to us seeking prescription pain medication and the number of overdoses we see continues to rise. The drugs available on the street are stronger, more addictive and deadlier than ever before.”
Heroin and the new kid on the street, fentanyl, are cheaper more readily available alternatives to illegally obtained prescription opioids, and become the drug of choice for many when access to prescription opioids runs out. According to statistics from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, in some areas of the state approximately one in 10 people are addicted to heroin.
“We are not just talking about prescription opioids,” said Meenakshi G. Brewster, MD, MPH, St. Mary’s County Health Officer. “Certainly, when this all started, it was probably the most prominent feature, but now a major factor is heroin and fentanyl.”
According to Dr. Brewster, fentanyl is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine and incredibly more potent than other prescription opioids and heroin. “Sadly, people buying and selling drugs on the street may not be aware that fentanyl is cut into the medication or the drug they are selling or buying,” said Dr. Brewster. “Even non-opioids, like Xanax, we are now sometimes finding have opioids like fentanyl cut into them and people are overdosing because it is incredibly powerful, they haven’t built up a tolerance and their bodies are overwhelmed.”
Helping to Curb Over-prescribing
One way Maryland hopes to combat the opioid epidemic is with the Maryland Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). Officials are counting on it to become the first line of defense and help reduce over-prescribing of prescription pain medications as well as doctor shopping for multiple narcotic prescriptions.
The PDMP was created to support providers and their patients in the safe and effective use of prescription drugs. Pharmacists and practitioners authorized to prescribe controlled dangerous substances must be registered with the PDMP by July, and by July 2018 prescribers will be required to query and review their patient’s PDMP data prior to prescribing an opioid or benodiazephine, and repeat that query every 90 days thereafter as long as they continue to prescribe opioids.
“The new drug monitoring program will be a tremendous benefit to help reduce the risk of over-prescribing opioids,” said Dr. Tucker. “The PDMP will allow us to make more informed decisions about whether or not to prescribe narcotics to patients to control their pain. Earlier identification of a patient who might be at risk of abusing opioids gives us the opportunity to help that individual find the treatment they need which ultimately could save their life.”

Detention centre cops bad report card
Mr Heydon is a legal mind of impeccable credentials and vast experience. He has made the right decision to continue with his work. THE Nauru immigration detention centre has been given a p poor report card, on the same day operator Transfield Services announced it was expected to have its contract renewed.
The company has a $1.2 billion contract to run detention centres at Nauru (pictured) and Manus Island, in Papua New Guinea, which expires at the end of October, along with that of sub-contractor Wilson Security.
In a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange yesterday, Transfield said the Federal Government had chosen it as the preferred tenderer for both offshore centres.
But a Senate inquiry report was scathing of the company’s track record on Nauru, saying it appeared the centre was not run well. Nor were both companies accountable to the Federal Government despite the significant investment.

Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis
Bullying behaviors are a growing concern in U.S. schools. We present here a behavioral approach to bully prevention utilizing a schoolwide intervention. Bully prevention in positive behavior support (BP-PBS) teaches students to withhold the social rewards hypothesized to maintain bullying. A single-subject multiple baseline design across 6 students and three elementary schools was implemented in an empirical evaluation of the intervention’s effectiveness. Results indicated that implementation was functionally related to decreased incidents of bullying for all 6 students observed. In addition, we observed a decrease in the social responses from victims and bystanders. Finally, school staff implemented the program with a high degree of fidelity and rated the program as effective and efficient. Limitations and implications of these results are discussed.

The following press release was sent to the Bloomingtonian Thursday:
“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 30, 2021
For more information please contact:
Holly McLauchlin, Communications Manager, City of Bloomington Utilities
[email protected] or 812-361-2800

City of Bloomington Utilities 2021 Water Rate Case Approved
Bloomington, Ind.–The City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) recently received final approval of an updated rate tariff from the Indiana Utilities Regulatory Commission (IURC). The new water rates will achieve fairer allocations among customer classes and support long-needed improvements to the water plant as well as accelerated water main replacements. The average CBU customer should expect a monthly increase of less than $2 on their water bill.
The rate proposal was approved by the Utilities Service Board in January 2021 and by the Bloomington Common Council in March 2021. The IURC approved an amended rate schedule on December 22, 2021. The new rates for metered service are the first updates in five years and will be implemented in two phases, increasing Water Works revenue by 8.4% in 2022, and 9.1% in 2024. The new rates will be reflected on February bills.
Revenue from the 2021 Water Works rate case will allow CBU to continue to improve service, addressing capital improvements for filtration, emergency power generation, and solids management at the Monroe Water Treatment Plant. In the water distribution system, CBU will re-coat the East Water Tank located adjacent to State Road 446, renovate the South Central Booster Station, and expand investments for water main replacement to $3 million per year, with a goal of achieving a 100-year replacement schedule.
In addition, a 2020 CBU-commissioned study determined that residential customers have historically paid higher rates than their actual cost of service, while all other customers have paid less than their cost of service. The new rate structure will more accurately reflect the cost of service in each customer category, meaning that the increase for residential customers will be smaller than the overall increase.
A typical CBU residential customer who is served by a ⅝-inch meter and consumes 3,000 gallons per month will see a $1.09 increase in their monthly water bill in 2022. As a specific example, the residential price of a 1,000-gallon “unit” will increase 8% from $3.73 to $4.03 on January 1, 2022. A second 8.7% increase to $4.38 per unit will be implemented on January 1, 2024. Residential customer impacts will vary with water use and meter size. This rate change will not affect charges for sewer or stormwater services.
CBU Director Vic Kelson said, “The 2021 Water Works rate case demonstrates CBU’s commitment to continuous improvement of water infrastructure and modernizing our facilities to meet future challenges.”
“The City is committed to investing in our water infrastructure to meet the needs of our community today and in the future,” said John Hamilton. “Additionally, the new rates re-adjust utility costs across customer classifications, making it more equitable for all.” “I offer my sincere thanks to the CBU staff for their hard work and commitment to ensuring our safe water supply.”
For the full schedule of rates and charges, customers may visit bloomington.in.gov/utilities/rates or stop by the Utilities Service Center at 600 E Miller Dr. More information about the rate case is available at bloomington.in.gov/utilities/rate-case.

I recently treated what looked like one of those unnecessary patients in one of our emergency departments. You know the ones. The ones that don’t need to be there because they should have gone somewhere else to receive care. She was a 28 year old woman who presented with lower abdominal pain. Her pain started abruptly in her left lower abdomen. She had no nausea or vomiting or fever.
After my evaluation and several rounds of pain meds she was feeling better but still uncomfortable. Her pregnancy test was negative, urine and white blood cell count were normal. Normal labs, so therefore she should have been seen somewhere else… Right?
If only medicine were that simple.
She had a lot of pain during the pelvic exam, so I ordered a sonogram which demonstrated a left ovarian cyst with good flow to her ovary. Still concerned, I asked the OB-Gyn to evaluate her because I was concerned with an ovarian torsion. After some discussion (and skepticism) the GYN doctor took her for laparoscopy where she had a 720 degree torsion of her left ovary (rotated around itself two times), requiring removal of the ovary as it was unable to be saved.
When we talk about unnecessary ER visits, including on this blog, the prevailing wisdom is that a large percentage of visits seen in the emergency department can more appropriately receive treatment in an urgent care or a private physician’s office. Let’s say 30% of all the patients we treat in emergency departments nationwide could be seen in a lower intensity (and lower cost) setting. Let’s do the math. There are about 140 million ED visits in the US. Reducing that by 30% brings us to 100 million visits. Of course it’s not total savings. The patients will go somewhere. Let’s say an urgent care center or primary care doctor.
Seems like a no brainer. Cost savings to the patients and the system. Not so fast. What about the cost of the urgent care centers popping up on every corner? What’s the cost of running them 24 hours a day? Because if you are going to compare one to another and save the overall costs, patients don’t just arrive between 10am-10pm. They come in all hours of day and night. How would the cost model change if you had to run your office or urgent care center 24 hours? The response would be that is crazy, that it does not make economic sense to do it. And you would be right.
The ER on the other hand has to be there, ready to serve with all capabilities 24 hours a day. What was necessary for the woman above to get the care she needed at the time she presented? She needed a fully functioning emergency department (emergency physician, emergency nurses, technicians and support staff) and that includes other critical services such as lab and radiology. Not to mention an appropriate consultant with a surgical suite that was capable and ready to take care of the problem at hand.
The real question is what is the cost of being truly ready to serve your community? I do not know the answer to that question. I know it is high and I know it is necessary. Whether you are the patient mentioned above or one who presents with signs of a stroke, acute MI, a surgical emergency, severe trauma case or someone with a time sensitive condition, you need your local hospital emergency department to be ready to provide that care.
According the American Hospital Association, between 1991 to 2010, emergency department visits rose from 88.5 million to 127.2 million. Meanwhile, over roughly the same period, hospitals have eliminated one in four emergency departments. Writing for the Atlantic Monthly earlier this year after the Boston Marathon bombing, Jason Silverstein noted that the capabilities of Boston’s Emergency Departments and trauma centers were expected to help every single patient who was treated after the bombing to survive:
At all times, they have the full roster of emergency services available: the entire spectrum of surgical specialists; respiratory therapists; laboratory services; nurses; and radiologists. They can land helicopters. They can treat burns. And they’re ready to support patients through rehabilitation. If you’re severely hurt, this is where you want to be.
We have evolved our system of care since I began practicing emergency medicine 20 years ago. We now have more clearly defined trauma centers, although there are fewer today and in some parts of the country they are in danger due to lack of funding, and clearly designated centers for patients who present with acute MI or strokes. We have seen the rise in pediatric emergency departments to bring higher level specialty care to children. These have all been advancements, although some wonder if all this focus on accreditations and certifications has contributed in some communities to the lack of access to basic high quality emergency care.
Emergency Medicine is a public service. It is one of the tenets of my specialty that we care for anyone who walks through the door regardless of social status or ability to pay. There is a cost associated with that readiness. While we all agree that more patients should have access to good primary care (and as the recent RAND report states, many of those patients with a primary care physician are referred by their PCP for care in the ED), I would also argue it is and remains essential to have access to high quality emergency care.
One day your life, or the life of someone you love, may depend upon it.

Ixtapa, a town of traditions.
It is Good Friday and Ixtapa is filled with solemnity, hundreds of faithful gather in the temple to surrender to the custom of representing the cosmic drama, the Crucifixion and death of Jesus of Nazareth.
During the festivity the pain of the Messiah sentenced to die on the Holy Cross is suffered. In the Parish of Our Lady of Talpita, today the mourning of the Lord was lived.
Today, the Catholic Church commands its faithful, as penance, to keep fasting and abstinence from meat.
Neither is the Eucharist celebrated, but the liturgy of the Passion of the Lord.
Ixtapa is located 15.7 kilometers away from downtown Puerto Vallarta and with a vehicle at average speed, you could drive only 43 minutes. It is an ideal place for strolling and getting to know the customs of the town, because in spite of having a name in the Nahuatl language, which means Salt on a Plate and literally is the origin of the nickname "Los Pata Salada" (The Salty Legs).
Anyway, despite this great name for the town, the people of Ixtapa are very faithful to the Catholic Church.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to visit this town, very close to the city of Puerto Vallarta and full of talents, expressions, friendly people and great customs that with respect and solemnity demonstrate the fervor of the people of Ixtapa and the commitment to the sacred religious customs of all the inhabitants who with love prepare this unforgettable night.

Re: Gridlines on outside of clusterd columns bar chart, not in the middle
You couldn't customize directly the gridlines like you want. Options to influence the gridlines could be the type of gridlines and the scale of the axis especially the interval-steps.
Another approach would be to create another expression for the grid whereby the bars are hidden or transparent - argb(0,0,0,0) - or you used a second bar-chart which will be overlapped from the first one and you adjust there various options, like the expression, scale and other layout-settings.
Further if your chart is quite static you could consider to replace the grid with a background-image or presentation-lines from tab presentation.

I went to see ACDC last night (in Melbourne), and I have to tell you those old fellas know how to rock. I am not a fan as such, my hubby is, as well as mum and dad so I tagged along for this apparent, unforgettable experience. The other incentive for me was that Wolfmother played who I love. I will admit it I am a chic of the 90's, I grew up with loud rock, and still love it when I am in the mood. Anyway, I was very impressed with how good the show was, a little unimpressed by the chicks on their boyfriends shoulders flashing their boobies every time a camera was on them.
But I guess it was that kind of crowd, and whatever rocks your world.
For those who are going when they reach your state, I think you will definitely enjoy the show.
Angus Young was fabulous, the tiny animated little pocket rocket, who moves his mouth constantly like a fish, didn't stop for 2hrs. I was completely intrigued by him.

Author: Charlotte Perkins Gilman
UK Publisher: This is now public domain, so it can be got for free from Project Gutenberg. There are also various editions available from different publishers, but I found the kindle edition from Project Gutenberg very readable.
Genre: Speculative fiction, feminist literature, classics
I can’t even remember how I heard about this book, but when I did I knew I had to read it. Written in 1915, it tells the story of three men who discover a hidden country populated entirely by women. The women have learned to reproduce without men, and for two thousand years have lived in peace and prosperity, with progress comparable to that of the West.
Naturally, because they are so advanced, for a long time the men who have discovered them cannot honestly believe that this can be a solely female society, and insist that there must be men hidden somewhere.
Shocker – there aren’t.
The three men represent a spectrum of attitudes to women. Terry, the rich and handsome one, sees women as entirely there for his pleasure, to obey him, and envisions that he will instantly be made king if it really is a country of women. Jeff is a romantic, believes that women are angels, delicate women to be cared for and protected, wooed gently. The narrator, Van, provides the middle perspective – a sociologist, the impression we are given is that he is telling us the accurate truth, unbiased by opinions on women, because he is so well educated in the ways of other societies in the world. There’s nothing in the narrative to suggest he isn’t to be trusted, but that’s because that isn’t the point of the story, so for the purposes of this we will accept his word as truth.
This is actually a great book to read alongside the Power in terms of considering the realities of a matriarchal society. Herland includes all the tropes that the Power pointedly subverts, and as a pair provide a really great contrast to each other. Having read Herland, I look back on the Power with more enjoyment.
It’s very much a product of its time. Whilst some bits feel very modern, and there are some delightful moments where the women call the men out on their biases and ridiculously sexist ideas, Herland still doesn’t quite manage to entirely escape some societal expectations of women. The society is full of pacifists, and the only aim and care in life is that of motherhood and raising children. The citizens of Herland can reproduce through parthenogenesis, which occurs when they find themselves feeling particularly broody. But they are only permitted to have one child – always a daughter – and so they have built their society around communal mothering. They have engineers and farmers and architects and doctors, but the teachers are most revered, and everyone is everyone else’s daughter or sister.
I think this is where my main gripe with the book lies. This society of pacifists and wise women is entirely asexual and entirely maternal. There is no real distinct variety in the characters we see, although we are told that some women are more gentle, some are more combative, in general they are all calm and wise and intelligent and peaceful. There is no allowance for a woman who may not want to be a mother – some women are asked not to be mothers because they are deemed less suitable, and there is that sort of talk of genetic policing which smacks a little of eugenics in a slightly uncomfortable way – no allowances for women to be sexual. For these women, the only point of sex would be for progeneration, and since they can do that on their own, there is no point in it.
Whilst asexuality is a valid and underrepresented sexual orientation, given as this is from 1915 it seems less a case of representation and more a case of time-specific prudery preventing women from being shown as having sexual inclinations of their own, particularly not with each other. The men in the novel are allowed to want and enjoy sex as an activity aside from having children, but the women of Herland, mothers all of them, are not sexual at all. And the single, brief mention of abortion in countries outside of Herland is met with horror and revulsion by these women for whom motherhood is everything.
This is why I think it makes an excellent companion piece to The Power, which shows a matriarchal society that is the complete opposite of that in Herland, violent vs peaceable, sexual vs asexual. The characters in The Power seem more well-rounded, more human even as I found myself increasingly horrified by the story; whilst I prefer the idea that a matriarchal society would be like that of Herland, there is a certain blandness to this utopia, a lack of spirit and character which is offputting. The two balance perfectly, and written a hundred years apart, it’s fascinating to see how expectations of women, and what women can do and be in society has changed.
So yes, in summary, More Lesbians Required.
- Very ahead of its time, and a surprisingly easy read. There are also points where you know the author has had a specific thing said to her several times, and is getting great personal satisfaction was dismantling the comment in her writing.
- It does give a very one-dimensional view of women, however, and despite arguing that women are more intelligent, organised and capable than men expect, falls back on the stereotype of the asexual mother-figure.
- Seriously, a society of entirely women, for nearly 2000 years, and there are no lesbians.
- It would be interesting to see if this could be rewritten with room for women to be strong and complex and still maintain the utopia. I think it’s unlikely, but then Wonder Woman and the Amazons seemed to do well enough.
- Pairs really well with The Power as two extremes of matriarchal societies, written a century apart.
Rating: 4/5 – I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would, and it has the bonus of being totally free.

By SARA BURNETT – Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — Republicans in Illinois on Tuesday picked conservative state Sen. Darren Bailey to face Governor JB Pritzker, a billionaire who easily won the Democratic nomination and has spent millions trying to get the rival he wants and increase his already considerable advantage in the state this fall.
Bailey beat out five other Republicans to win the nomination. The Xenia farmer is a staunch opponent of abortion who received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump on Saturday. Bailey has raised her statewide profile during the pandemic by opposing Pritzker’s COVID-19 measures. He sued Pritzker over a stay-at-home order issued by the governor and was escorted off the floor of the Legislative Assembly for refusing to wear a mask.
Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune who is seeking his second term, and the Democratic Governors Association have spent heavily on publicity to help Bailey win the GOP primary, including with ads noting that he is “100 % pro-life”. While those posts have boosted Bailey’s standing with Republican voters, they risk hurting him in a general election in a place where Democrats control all state offices and voters have rejected Trump by double digits at two times.

Bailey dismissed the idea that he can’t win and criticized “establishment Republicans” for contributing to decades of mismanagement in the state.
“We are going to send a message to the Republican establishment that we will not be bullied into sacrificing our principles to elect their candidates,” he told a crowd at a campaign stop in rural Illinois this month. -this.
Republican Richard Irvin, a former prosecutor who served as the first black mayor of Illinois’ second-largest city, was considered a top contender when he joined the race, with financial backing from billionaire Ken Griffin . But although Griffin invested $50 million in Irvin’s campaign, he was damaged by repeated attacks from rivals, including Pritzker.
Unlike Bailey and his four other rivals, Irvin avoided talking about abortion or whether he voted for Trump. Aurora’s mayor instead focused on issues like crime in Chicago and legislation Pritzker signed that he said made policing harder. He said he opposes abortion except in cases of rape or incest or to protect the life of the mother.
Irvin also argued that he was the only GOP candidate who could beat Pritzker in November because he could win votes from Republicans, independents and some Democrats.
In a concession speech Tuesday, Irvin criticized Pritzker’s “interference” in the primary and wished Bailey well in the general election.
“Look, I hope this governor is wrong in his assessment that he can easily defeat the adversary he paid tens of millions of dollars for. But if that governor is right and he wins easily, we as citizens must rise up,” Irvin said.
Tim Zink, a 70-year-old retiree, wore a National Rifle Association t-shirt as he voted in the northern Illinois town of McHenry for Bailey.
“I just love the way it stands on just about everything,” Zink said. He added that he didn’t trust Irvin, whom he called “two-faced” and “friends with Pritzker.”
Joe Bernstein, of Highland Park, in the northern suburbs of Chicago, voted for Pritzker: “So far, I think he is doing a good job.”
The other Republican candidates are business owner Gary Rabine, venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan, former senator Paul Schimpf and attorney Max Solomon.
Pritzker beat out a much lesser-known rival, Beverly Miles, for the nomination. He said he was not afraid of any rival until November.
“I’m going to play anybody across the aisle and we’ll win,” Pritzker said.

The Netherlands began their Nations League campaign with a dominant win against a dire Belgium, who also lost Romelu Lukaku to injury.
Memphis Depay was the Dutch star, scoring two superbly taken close-range goals in the rout in Brussels.
Tottenham’s Steven Bergwijn was also on target, netting a long-range opener, with Denzel Dumfries scoring the other via a close-range tap-in.
Michy Batshuayi headed a consolation for Belgium in added time.
It was a frustrating night overall, though, for the Red Devils, with Timothy Castagne striking the bar with a rising shot with the score at 0-0 and the Leicester player also seeing a goal ruled out by VAR after Batshuayi was spotted in an offside position in the build-up.
Dries Mertens also struck the woodwork with an angled shot late in the game for Roberto Martinez’s team.
Anything but a handsome win would have been scant reward for what was a superb display from the hard-working, skilful Netherlands team.
The victory extends Dutch manager Louis van Gaal’s unbeaten start to his second spell as Dutch boss to 10 matches.

Women's shelter says clients, staff afraid to go outside amid protest
'The women really are feeling terrorized,' downtown shelter organizer says
The Cornerstone Housing for Women shelter in downtown Ottawa says the ongoing protest against Canada's pandemic rules in the city's core has re-triggered clients who have already experienced trauma — to the point that one woman has sought refuge at a hospital.
Sarah Davis, the shelter's executive director, said people have harassed clients for wearing masks. She said someone got in her face and yelled at her.
"Women are afraid to go out to access their supports and their services," said Davis. "The women really are feeling terrorized."
One client has gone to the hospital because of the "lack of reprieve" from the protest, which includes hours of honking truck horns a day, while Davis said others are turning to substance abuse.
"With COVID, we have a lack of space and the respite for the women is to be able to go outside and to get fresh air, and they can't even do that. They've now been imprisoned in their shelter."
- Vulnerable downtown residents hit breaking point as convoy enters 5th day
- Ottawans bracing as protest numbers expected to swell again this weekend
In anticipation of the tumult around the protest, which organizers say will last until all COVID-19 rules across Canada have been lifted, Cornerstone staff stocked up on food for its dozens of residents, Davis said. Some workers stayed at the shelter over the weekend.
Davis described one incident with a staffer whose cell phone died while she waited for a bus.
"She came back to the shelter in a bit of a panic, " Davis said. "She was afraid to be alone at night."
The last six days have left staff and residents exhausted at a time when the shelter was just resettling into its location following months of repairs and renovations that required temporary new housing for clients, Davis said.
These last six days have been extremely stressful for people experiencing homelessness and frontline staff working to support them in the downtown core.

Read the full statement on the downtown protest's impact on Cornerstone’s emergency shelter here: https://t.co/MO3M7SWaHO pic.twitter.com/63LsvWkRRr—@HopeCornerstone
Cornerstone is one of the latest groups to speak out about what Ottawa's police chief described as "heavy fear all around" as the protest enters its seventh day Thursday.
Catherine McKenney, the city councillor for the ward including the shelter and much of the protest area, said the situation in residential neighbourhods south of Parliament Hill remains "unsettling and chaotic."
"We still have trucks that are parked near residents' homes, blaring horns," McKenney said, "We've got cars driving erratically around neighbourhoods. We have individuals out on the street harassing people."
WATCH | No idea when relief is coming for worn-down locals:
McKenney and fellow councillor Mathieu Fleury called on the police and Mayor Jim Watson to ask the RCMP to take over operations on the hill so Ottawa police officers could focus on safety concerns in neighbourhoods to the south.
Police Chief Peter Sloly said his force couldn't do that, but they would continue to try to help affected residents.
He also said Wednesday that policing alone might not solve the ongoing, volatile situation and military aid might be necessary to bring back order. The Canadian Armed Forces said later that day it has no plans to get involved in law enforcement.

Department fails to woo tourists
BUDGAM: A tourist hut built at a project cost of Rs 57 lakh in Poshker village in central Kashmir’s Budgam district four years ago has turned into a “decrepit” structure, due to official negligence and lack of maintenance by the Tourist Department.
“The hut was built in year 2016 by the Tourist Department of Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to promote rural tourism in the valley,” locals said.
Although the department completed the construction of the wooden hut in 2017, the irony is that the hut was never put to use till date.
Besides this, local resident Beigh Tawseef said, the department has miserably failed to promote tourism with their lackadaisical approach to making the hut functional.
He added that the Tourism Department has not only failed to operate the hut over the last four years, but has also failed to maintain the structure.
Another local resident, Syed Firdous, while blaming the Tourism Department and the local administration for their shoddy approach towards maintaining the hut, said, “It was the responsibility of the department to maintain the hut, but they never did. Instead, they left it for drug peddlers.”
“The hut has been abandoned by the department due to the absence of watch and ward and lack of maintenance,” Syed said, adding, “This has raised a question mark over the department’s sincerity towards developing the tourism potential of the rural areas of Kashmir.”
The lawn of the hut is completely submerged under a few inches of mud and water, and presents a decrepit picture with its foul smell. The doors and windowpanes of the wooden structure have literally “disappeared” and have either been stolen by the people in the neighbourhood or have been broken.
Besides this, a portion of the building has also collapsed due to snowfall during the winters but has not been repaired yet. Apart from this, the ceilings and furniture have been damaged to a large extent and are awaiting official attention.
Meanwhile, locals said that the department had previously claimed that after the building’s completion, tourists from across the world will throng to the village and the economy of the surrounding area will subsequently get a boost. But till date, neither the officials of the department nor any tourists have visited this place.
“The hut that was meant to accommodate tourists is in complete ruins now and is craving the officials’ attention,” locals added.
“It has been turned into a hub of illegal activities owing to lack of watch and ward and proper upkeep by the department,” Ghulam Nabi Reshi, a senior citizen, said, adding that “the place is now thronged by drug dealers and addicts at odd times”.
He alleged that the department, instead of promoting tourism, is looking to draw a huge amount in the name of constructing tourist huts. The truth, he said, is that, this hut was never put to use and the funds spent on its construction have literally been wasted.
The villagers of Poshker have appealed to Governor Satya Paul Malik to personally look into the matter and see why the hut has not been put to use despite drawing lakhs of rupees on its name.
Meanwhile, Director Tourism Kashmir Nisar Ahmad Wane could not be contacted for his comments, despite repeated calls.

(I should point out here that I have nothing against Supanova Pop Culture Expo. Indeed I plan on attending the Brisbane leg later this year -- even though it coincides with the Australian Cartoonists' Association's annual workshop/Award night. There has been some Facebook suggestions about artists boycotting the event -- I am not certain of all the facts or know why this was/is proposed -- and I am not actively choosing to do this by attending these other festivals throughout the year. I simply wasn't able to co-ordinate my work shifts for Sydney's Supanova in June, much as I would have liked to have been there.)
Every year, the Public Libraries in the inner-west of Sydney combine to bring the attention of comics to the community, and this is -- and I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong -- the third year of Comic Con-Versation. The events took place from July 3rd for a whole week, culminating in a Comics Lounge (where local comic publishers can share their wares with the public) at the Ashfield Library.
My work commitments did not allow me to attend for the whole week. (Curse this work! If I would only win Lotto, I could be at all these comic-related events all year long, publishing comics until the end of my days! IF I were to only buy a Lotto ticket!) Anyway, I was able to have the weekend of July 9th and 10th off duty from work....so there was nothing to get in my way to allow me to attend the Comic Lounge. Not even Carlene! And flying to Sydney is always fun, as it gives me an opportunity to catch up with my great friend Rob Feldman and family!
There were many comics and books available at the Comic Lounge at the Ashfield Library on that Sunday afternoon. It was good to see so many other artists and cartoonists, happily engaging with the members of the public that were interested in sharing the mutual love of the comic medium. Here are some of the works that stood out (from my viewpoint)....
Thomas Campi remains one of the artists whose colour artwork I have long admired, even though I cannot understand anything about the comics he illustrates! Based in Sydney, Thomas illustrates graphic novels for the European market, and has won many awards for his works. I have secured the Australian rights to his first English-language graphic novel. The title is Joe Shuster, about the life and times of the co-creator of Superman, although the work is not yet complete. I remain convinced that I believe the work will put him in a position where some of the American publishers will be seeking him out for further work, and that he will be better known. [2017: The position, in regards the completion of the work, still remains the same, although it is nearer to completion. So Thomas tells me!]
After purchasing one of his books, Thomas was kind enough to present to me an original (black and white) illustration that he was working on at the time I approached his table. How can I not share it with you here?

Nathaniel who is 21 years old, Keyshaun who passed away at the age of 14 in 2015 and D’ Andre 1 years old. Every day she strives to be a good role model for her family. Lakisha has faced many difficult challenges in life and did not let them consume her. She has endured many storms from being a single mom, dealing with a behavior challenged son (ODD/ADHD), a series of bad relationships and insecurities. Lakisha’s turnaround started when she started to feel abandoned and rejected by men. From that point on she began to want more out of life. Overtime her challenges made her stronger. She has gained a passion to help other women through her own struggles. With GOD’s help she has managed to survive them all. Certain moments has definitely made her a stronger person. Losing her grandfather in 1997 was one of them. In which her self-esteem issues began to increase. About three months later the passing of her father occurred. In February of 2009 Lakisha lost her husband just a 7months after becoming married. They had a friendship of over 11years prior to marriage. In October of 2015 she lost her 14yr old son who was assaulted and killed by a man she was dating. This was the hardest grief process she ever had to face. Lakisha survived this lost by forming a better spiritual life. This was an experience that completely destroyed her. Her life has transformed in so many ways. Starting over was extremely difficult for her. Lakisha knows the changes grief takes you through. She has had to push herself even when she didn’t understand where she would end up. Increasing her faith is a part of her remaining strong. She has now recognized her level of strength and continues to strive to succeed further in life. Lakisha shares her journey of life in her book “PAIN, PRAYER, AND PURPOSE. A book she hopes to encourage women of all ages. Believing and trusting GOD for brighter moments. While continuing to grieve through her son’s death Lakisha formed a Self-Love Ministry in 2016. In January of 2018 she formed a Women’s Group (SISTERS UNITED ON PURPOSE) geared to strengthen and empower women dealing with self- challenging circumstances. In April of 2018 Lakisha became a Certified Life Coach. Having now gone through several trying times she hopes to encourage other women to step out of their comfort zone and strive pass any current stronghold they may be facing. Lakisha finds balance in life through her passion of encouraging others. It is also a sense of self therapy as well. She enjoys sharing her story and is indeed an example of a TESTIMONY.

From plastic bags to streets – Ginninderry spearheads adoption of recycled asphalt in Strathnairn, with 4,200 tonnes planned.
An innovative recycled asphalt solution is now being used to build roads in the new stages of Strathnairn. The roads paved in Stage 2 will divert soft plastics from 3,094,700 plastic bag and packaging equivalents, glass from 617,640 glass bottle equivalents, toner from 75,600 used printer cartridges and 1,050 tonnes of reclaimed road from landfill.
Ginninderry Project Director, Steve Harding said incorporating ‘Reconophalt’ into civil construction works is another demonstration of Ginninderry’s ongoing commitment to delivering ‘a sustainable community of international significance’.
“We are always striving to employ practices, processes and systems that embody innovation and design excellence,” Mr Harding said.
“By utilising recycled asphalt in sub-division works, we can now deliver an ongoing sustainable solution for the extensive road network at Ginninderry, and make a measurable difference to the environment by reusing waste that would otherwise end up in landfill.”
“Downer, together with our partners Huon Contractors and Calibre Group have delivered a truly world-class outcome in line with our vision.”
Downer’s Surfacing Manager – NSW and ACT, Gana Varendran, said that he was pleased to see the leadership and commitment shown by Ginninderry to pave the roads of Strathnairn with Reconophalt, a product that is environmentally safe, sustainable and outperforms standard asphalt.
“Reconophalt is cost effective and has enhanced properties of improved strength and resistance to deformation making the road asset last longer. ”
“Even after a road has been laid with Reconophalt, the pavement is perpetually recyclable, providing a truly circular and sustainable solution for communities and generations to come,” added Gana.
ACT Minister for Roads and Active Travel, Chris Steel said the commitment to using recycled asphalt for future roads at Ginninderry is another example of the ACT’s leading approach to sustainability.
“Canberrans can expect that we will be using a lot more recycled material in infrastructure to put the circular economy in action.”

- TITLE: It Only Takes A Note To Start A Concerto
By Pauline Carruthers
LEAVE COMMENT ON ARTICLE

ADD TO MY FAVORITES
From the files in my mind I take out treasured memories at will. Others slip out uninvited. I sit at my desk in my tiny study. A page of sheet music lies askew on the printer. Who left it there? I close my eyes and lean back in my chair. The years roll back and I’m there again, standing outside the Music Room, silently waiting for the dreaded word to pierce the tension that was almost tangible.
He could hear a pin drop, so surely couldn’t miss the sound of twenty fearful hearts beating out frantic rhythms as we filed through the door and slid silently into our seats. Twenty single desks. Little islands of aloneness, isolated from a classmates comforting whisper. Undefined retribution hanging heavy in the air. A blackboard filled the wall at the front of the classroom, cylinders of chalk resting on a narrow shelf below. Little white torpedo’s, well aimed, never missing a target. Wandering eyes struggled to maintain focus on the man in the navy blue suit, brown shoes and eccentric tie, who stood at the front emanating impatience.
Leonard longstaff possessed an amazing skill in flinging twenty music books in quick succession, to land accurately with a menacing thud on all twenty desks. He could stand at the front of a class and effortlessly single out the culprit of an off key note or the sound of silence from falsely moving lips. His favourite song, ‘The Trout’, contained notes that either sank to the depths or soared to the heights. Bubbling trills reminiscent of the trout’s habitat gave the colour brown to the in-between sections. And a quickening pace when caught on the anglers hook caused chaotic stumbling to our untrained vocals. Frustration raised his voice several octaves and reddened his face into a ripe plum. Words could ricochet from his mouth like bullets. Not one of his pupils possessed a semblance of musical talent and his tuning fork would rap with a sharp ping from desk to desk, sending shivers of fear up and down jellied spines.
For a moment the memory fades as I struggle to recall the name of the boy who, one Tuesday morning, unwittingly delivered nineteen fearful hearts by his outrageously presumptuous request. A tune on the old piano.
When he played Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini my soul became lost in the wonder and sheer heart rending beauty of the music, skilfully wrung from the keys of the old piano. An unfamiliar ambiance pervaded the classroom. A glimpse into the true soul of a man. He shut the lid with a crash, swivelled round on the piano stool and delivered our assignment for the following week. Composing a short piece of music. On his instruction we filed silently out of the classroom, dire threats depicting the consequences of failure ringing in our ears.
I sat silently at my desk at the front, facing the door, easing a blank music sheet from my folder. It wasn’t a deliberate act of rebellion, simply an inability to transfer the buzzing melody in my head into the reality of notes on paper. And the acute shyness and sense of inferiority and lack of confidence that had dogged me since my earliest memory.
The tuning fork in Leonard Longstaff’s hand pinged its way around the desks as he trailed without comment from one to the other. Barely suppressed giggles accompanied the futile humming of hastily composed tunes. The tension in the air hung like an unseen charge of electricity bridging the gaps between desks.
I felt his eyes and the eyes of nineteen others fixed on me as I stole a glance upwards. A silent prayer winged its way from me to God. My first real communication with Him apart from the set prayers recited at the beginning and end of each day. I wondered if Leonard Longstaff could see the fear etched on my face and was startled to see only compassion on his.
“We appear to have run out of time. Get up quietly and orderly without crashing your seats and close the door unobtrusively as you leave.”
Sliding the blank paper back into my folder I rose from my seat, hoping he could read the gratitude in my tremulous smile. A rare twinkle in his brown eyes told me he could.
I open my eyes, lingering in the memory for a while, before letting it go. Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini plays on my I-Pod.

Former Aberdeen FC captain Russell Anderson has kicked off a brand new career as a financial adviser after joining Aberdein Considine.
Anderson - who won the League Cup with the Dons and gained 11 caps with Scotland - is leaving professional sport next month to move into the financial services industry.
Anderson told how he started planning for the career back in 1999 after suffering a serious injury not long after breaking into the Dons first team.
He said: “I guess I have always been a bit different in that even at a very early stage in my career, I felt it was important to plan for life
“I suffered a bad injury when I was 21 which kept me out for more than a year. Whilst my main focus at the time was obviously my recovery, it made me very aware that I might not always be able to rely on football to make a living.
“At around the same time, my eldest son, Jevan, was born – and as any parent will tell you, once you have a child to provide for, your mindset changes.
“So from that point, I knew I needed to have a plan in place for when I could no longer play football, so I started training to become a financial adviser.”
Russell ended up making a full recovery from that injury and went on to play 280 times for Aberdeen during his 11-year first spell at Pittodrie.
His form earned him a call-up to the Scotland national team as well as a £1m move to Sunderland.
But even during his spell down south Anderson continued to train for a financial services career, remaining resolute in his belief that he would still need an alternative career later in life.
He completed his courses during his five-year stint in England, which also saw him play for Derby County, Burnley and Plymouth Argyle.
And he is now finally looking to put those forward-planning skills into practice with Aberdein Considine, which has a network of advisers spread across 18 Scottish offices.
The firm specialises in retirement planning, investments and pensions – the latter being Russell’s main area of expertise.

It may be cold comfort for Kiwis but today Australia posted worse inflation than New Zealand’s.
Stats NZ this morning revealed inflation for the 12 months to December had come in at 7.2%, which hasn’t budged since the last quarter.
That high figure may result in the Reserve Bank next month lifting the official cash rate again next month as it tries to punch down inflation but leaving Kiwis struggling with the high cost of living. Housing, food and transport prices were responsible and the monthly food prices series showed annual food price increases were the largest since April 1990 and mainly came as a result of grocery food prices.
This afternoon the Australians revealed their latest figure was 7.8% for the same period.
The high figures got immediate reactions from both governments.
Brand new New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins immediately announced reprioritising the government’s work was the “absolute priority”. This would allow the government to focus on the cost of living.
Newly sworn-in Prime Minister Chris Hipkins at his first prime ministerial press conference today
No. 1 focus
Hipkins said the cost of living “is the No 1 issue we are facing as a country, and therefore it will be the No 1 focus of the government.”
“Today’s unchanged inflation figure confirms this is the right immediate focus.
“We will do everything we can to bring inflation down in New Zealand. We will also be seeking to support New Zealanders.”
He said one of the pressures New Zealand and Australia were feeling on grocery pressures had to do with the weather.
But he arguedthere was a limited amount that governments could do.
Meanwhile, Australian treasurer Jim Chalmers said the 7.8% figure was “unacceptably high”.
‘Extreme price pressures’
“We are optimistic about the future of our economy and the future of our country. But we are realistic about the extreme price pressures that Australians are facing right now."
Ironically, the latest figure comes as new figures show there was a 32% increase in the total wealth of New Zealanders in 2021, caused by the then housing boom.
Credit Suisse's global wealth report found that wealth per New Zealand adult increased $176,000 in 2021 to $728,000. NZ had the most significant increase on a per-adult basis compared to other countries.
Credit Suisse said the "rapidly rising house prices combined with an appreciating currency" were behind the increase.
But house prices plunged last year by 14% and the New Zealand dollar fell against the US dollar, which means the gains may have been shortlived.
Working people hurting
Meanwhile, the Council of Trade Union’s fifth annual Mood of the Workforce Survey has found working people are bearing the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis with a record three out of four saying their incomes cannot keep up with inflation.
CTU secretary Melissa Ansell-Bridges said the results of the survey raised real concerns about who was paying the price for inflation. “It’s clear that people are hurting and we’re really worried that the traditional policy response of raising the OCR and reducing government spending is only hurting them more.”
Nearly 60% of the 1870 respondents cited rising grocery prices as the biggest pressure on their budgets followed by mortgage and rent (17%) and transport (8%). A majority (61%) believed higher wages were the key to helping them deal with inflation and only 16% thought tax cuts would help.
"We're proposing a long-term solution - the Inflation and Incomes Act - that starts to look at other options to intervene in the economy to fix inflation that will result in better social and economic outcomes.
“There’s no doubt the cost-of-living crisis is going to be a huge election year issue and who actually pays the price for fixing it is the most important question we need to ask ourselves.”
Meanwhile, National’s fnance spokesperson Nicola Willis said inflation had its claws in the New Zealand economy and Kiwis were paying the ever-higher price.
“Alarmingly, this surge is occurring even while inflation eases off around the world, with lower rates of inflation now evident in the US, Japan and Canada and petrol prices falling quicker than many had predicted.
“Inflation now has a tighter grip in New Zealand because of homegrown problems like worker shortages, higher costs for landlords being passed on to tenants, and Labour’s relentless commitment to yet more spending and borrowing..
“Today’s data is bad news for anyone with a mortgage or credit card bill to pay, because it suggests the Reserve Bank will have to keep hiking interest rates to get runaway prices under control.
“National would re-focus the Reserve Bank on price stability, stop adding costs and taxes to businesses, address workforce shortages, bring discipline back to Government borrowing and spending, and help Kiwis adjust to higher prices by letting them keep more of what they earn with a programme of income tax reduction.”


In the first half of 2019, BCL team members were on the hunt for aquatic and marine fungi as part of the global citizen science program FunAqua. FunAqua participants collect water and sediment samples for genomic sequencing by the FunAqua team in Estonia. The ultimate aim will be to document global fungal diversity and identify the mechanisms driving who is there and what they are doing.
The BCL team, including Drs Christina Birnbaum, Pawel Waryszak, Stacey Trevathan-Tackett, Peter Macreadie and Mel Wartman, sampled 15 sites consisting of a wide variety of ecosystems in the Melbourne area: urban rivers and wetlands, coastal wetlands, and pristine alpine streams. The water collected was filtered using a syringe (see photos), and sediments were collected in vials and preserved. Much of the collection occurring during winter, which meant icy water and the occasional drizzle.
Keep an eye out for more global sampling photos and progress at the @FunAqua_EE twitter page.
