To better understand the increasing burden on public health from seasonal wild fire smoke, we sat down with environment health researcher Angela Yao of the BC Centre for Disease Control.
Why are there so many forest fires in BC?
Well, about 70 percent of BC is covered by forest. BC has forest fires every year, but recently they’ve become more frequent and intense. And certainly, climate change is having an impact. The average temperature is going up. Winters are generally warmer, and this can lead to more fires for a number of reasons. One example is that warmer temperatures allow insects such as the mountain pine beetle to thrive. The pine beetle infestation has destroyed pine forests in BC and left dead trees behind. These stands are highly flammable if they are hit by lightning or an unextinguished cigarette butt. We know that forest fire frequency and intensity have accelerated since the infestation.
What do we know about forest fire smoke and its health impacts?
We don’t know everything, but we do know that forest fires emit a lot of smoke, which is made up of fine particles that can be breathed deep into the lungs. Inhalation of fine particles can pose serious health risks in the short-term and long term, especially for those who are most susceptible: people with chronic respiratory and heart diseases, infants, pregnant women, children, and older people.
What are some of the greatest challenges in addressing these health impacts?
They are hard to study because forest fire smoke doesn’t last for very long, and it usually affects more rural areas. BC doesn’t have air quality monitoring stations in every community, especially in the rural and remote areas where forest fires are more common. However we can use satellites to measure particulate matter in the atmosphere. And while these measurements don’t give a sense of particulate matter levels on the ground where people live, by combining this information with local weather data, we are getting better information about smoke exposures. The more we know about the exposures, the better we can study their health impacts.
What can public health agencies do to mitigate the health impacts of forest fire smoke?
First and foremost, everyone has to be prepared for smoke episodes. As the climate changes we are going to have more fires and larger fires, meaning more smoke and longer episodes. Individuals and public health agencies need to have clear plans of action for managing smoke exposure when they occur.
We also need to continue improving and expanding our smoke forecasting systems including the Western Canada BlueSky Smoke Forecasting System and FireWork (Canada’s Smoke Prediction System), our provincial air quality monitoring systems, and our public health surveillance systems. We need to use and learn from the information this data provides so that we can better inform and guide the public to avoid risks.
What has the BC Asthma Monitoring System got to do with forest fires?
In 2010, British Columbia had an exceptional forest fire season. The smoke was thicker and the number of communities affected was greater than in previous years. That fall, the provincial medical health officers asked the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) to develop a monitoring system to better evaluate forest fire impacts on public health. Consequently, in 2012 we launched the BC Asthma Monitoring System (BCAMS).
What should people do to protect themselves on a smoky day?
Common advice includes staying indoors, and reducing physical activity outdoors when there is a lot of smoke around. (Read about other tips for protecting your health from fire smoke here) This is intended to minimize exposure and inhalation of harmful particulate matter. Sometimes you may hear that it can be useful to use an N95 respirator mask or use an air cleaner. The N95 respirators may be helpful for healthy people who work outdoors and who have the support of their occupational health and safety departments, but we don’t recommend them for the general public. They are challenging to fit properly, and they make it even harder to breathe – that is really not helpful for anyone whose breathing is already compromised. We strongly recommend the use of HEPA or electrostatic air cleaners in a well-insulated room. These units can reduce indoor particulate matter during smoke episodes, and studies they can help to reduce respiratory symptoms.
We’re also suggesting that communities should consider cancelling outdoor events and establishing public clean air shelters in buildings such as libraries and community centers.
Further, we suggest that air filtration systems should be augmented in institutions such as hospitals and senior care homes well in advance of smoke episodes occurring. In some cases, it may be possible to evacuate people to areas with better air quality, but this should be a last resort because it causes a lot of stress and anxiety.
Forest fires and their smoke will always be with us, and the best way to minimize smoke impacts on individual and public health is to be prepared. The best offense truly is a good defense.
Angela Yao is an Environmental Health Scientist for the BC Centre for Disease Control, and a PhD student UBC School of Population and Public Health. Her research is focused on assessing forest fire smoke exposure and its public health effects, as well as the development of a public health surveillance system.

This card caught my eye this morning and I wanted to make it this afternoon. Then, while I was shopping today, I picked up a gift for my parents to give to my great niece for her birthday. On my way home, it dawned on me that this would be a cute birthday card for a 4 year old. And it even coordinates with wrapping paper that I already have. Don't you love it when things coincidentally come together? The recipient won't notice or care, but my mom and I do.
I used the new Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set - "Turtle & Company". Each year, Stampin' Up! designs an exclusive stamp set to benefit RMHC. With the purchase of this stamp set, SU! will donate $3.00 to RMHC. Cute stamp set and a great cause!

GFEM had a large presence at the Council on Foundations Annual Conference in LA. If you were unable to attend the conference, or missed some of our sessions and events, here’s a wrap up of the activities.
We kicked off the conference with a member meeting and discussion about public media in the LA-area, and specifically models for success that involve deep commitments to the community that the media organizations serve. The conversation featured Bill Davis, President, Southern California Public Radio, which operates KPCC public radio, the largest public radio service in Southern California; Michelle Levander, Director of the California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships at USC Annenberg and founder of the Boyle Heights Beat, a hyper-local, multi-lingual, dual print and online news service created by youth and adult journalists covering the Boyle Heights neighborhood of LA; Cinthia Gonzalez, one of Boyle Heights Beat’s amazing journalists; and Mary Lou Fulton, Program Officer at the California Endowment, which supports Boyle Heights Beat as part of its work on community health (because health happens at the neighborhood level, and an informed community is a healthier community).
After that robust conversation GFEM’s board chair David Haas hosted a private funder dinner at WP24, giving funder colleagues a chance to connect and share their work in a small setting.
Immediately following dinner GFEM and COF presented the 2012 Henry Hampton Award to The Interrupters, a MacArthur Foundation-supported film by Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz made with Kartemquin Films. The Interrupters presents an unflinching portrait of the organization CeaseFire and its courageous struggle to eradicate violence in the gritty streets of Chicago. Academy Award-nominated director John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood) presented the award to director Steve James, followed by a discussion about the film and its impact with CeaseFire founder Gary Slutkin and Interrupter Ameena Matthews.
The following morning we gathered funders for an in-depth discussion about the anti-violence group CeaseFire, which is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson and McCormick Foundations. The roundtable discussion was a chance for funders to delve into the core strategy and success of the CeaseFire project and hear how the model is being used throughout the country. We also highlighted the collaborative tech innovation, PeaceTXT, created by Ushahidi and Medic Mobile, coordinated by the social innovation PopTech Accelerator and supported by the Rita Allen Foundation.
Shifting from technology’s use in anti-violence efforts to games for good, one of GFEM’s three COF sessions highlighted games as a unique engagement opportunity for funders. Michelle Byrd, Co-President, Games for Change; Tracy Fullerton, Associate Professor, USC Interactive Media Division; Jessica Goldfin, Special Assistant to the President, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation; and Dan White, CEO, Filament Games were on hand to discuss the rapidly evolving field and show concrete examples of successes, and failures, and answer questions about what they’ve learned along the way. Learn more about what works from The Knight Foundation’ s brief report. See a full list of the games-based activities at the conference. Funders interested in this exciting and quickly evolving field should check out the Games for Change Festival June 18 -20 in NYC, featuring Jane McGonigal and Lucy Bradshaw.
Off to another lovely funder dinner with Anna Deveare Smith and special guests, then sleep. But not for long.
Delving back into technology for social change, our second COF session, co-presented by ZeroDivide, focused on leveraging the power of mobile phone technology and how foundations can support grantees’ use of mobile applications to meet their missions. Presenters John Bracken, Director/Journalism and Media Innovation at the Knight Foundation; Manuel Santamaria, Grantmaking Director, Silicon Valley Community Foundation and Laura Efurd, Vice President and Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, ZeroDivide showed exciting examples of mobile civic engagement tools making a real impact, including VotoLatino, Fresno BusTracker, Mobile Voices, and SafeCast.
View the list of mobile resources compiled for funders and check out ZeroDivide’s recent report “Funding Mobile Strategies for Social Impact: The Future is Now.”
For those who couldn’t attend, there will be a free webinar on Tuesday 5/22 covering this topic.
Our game track continued with a deep dive into the world of games for social good with a conversation among top practitioners in game development. Tracy Fullerton, Associate Professor, USC Interactive Media Division; Kristy Norindr, Research Manager, USC School of Cinematic Arts; Susana Ruiz, Cofounder, Take Action Games; and Benjamin Stokes, Researcher/PhD Student, USC Annenberg School for Communication shared knowledge of game theory and practice and discussed how games are being used to address urgent issues — from human rights and immigration to sustainable agriculture and community development.
Our final event was a night of living history celebrating Stanley Nelson and his widely-lauded documentary Freedom Riders, featuring a discussion moderated by Anna Deavere Smith.
Introduced by Ralph Smith of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, we shared media highlights recognizing Mr. Nelson’s unique genius in bringing the essential stories of the 20th century to the screen and into our collective conscience. Following dinner Anna Deavere Smith led the discussion with civil rights veteran and Freedom Rider Reverend James Lawson and Saket Soni of the New Orleans Workers’ Center for Racial Justice.
For more on Nelson’s work see Firelight Media and check out the video about Firelight’s Producer’s Lab – a mentorship program for 12-15 independent diverse producers. The Lab began as a way to provide infrastructure support for diverse producers to help overcome some of the barriers to completing their film or video. Participating producers work with Nelson and his team of senior producers, writers, editors, new media, and fundraising specialists to complete their projects for a national broadcast. To maximize the impact of their films producers receive support to develop a community engagement campaign. Each year a select number of campaigns will be implemented through Firelight’s Community Action Division.

Donald Trump exclaimed "I'm not flip-flopping on immigration, we want to come up with a really fair but firm answer," this morning after meeting with his newly announced Hispanic advisory council this weekend in an effort to figure out a “humane and efficient” manner to deal with immigrants in the country illegally.
The key economic releases this week are new home sales on Tuesday and durable goods on Thursday. However, the main event in what is one of the slowest summer weeks, will be the Jackson Hole symposium starting this Friday, where focus will be on Yellen's speech who will be scrutinized to see if she can bring the Fed's message back on track after several conflicting statements by Fed speakers in recent weeks.
European stocks rose and US S&P futures fell after the dollar strengthened following the latest hawkish comments from Fed vice-chair Stanley Fischer signalled that a 2016 rate hike is still being considered and again boosted speculation that US rates will rise this year. The rising dollar pressured commodities and notably oil, which dropped 2% breaking a 7 days stretch of increases; emerging markets retreated.

Soaring auto production in Mexico is creating a bit of a labor shortage as US production continues to migrate south of the border. Supporters of minimum wage hikes could learn from the efforts of the United Auto Workers Union which did a masterful job negotiating off-market wage and benefits packages which ultimately only served to provide their members with permanent job losses.
With Wall Street hitting peak vacation season, it is a quiet week for news. The key economic release this week is CPI inflation on Tuesday. There are several scheduled speaking engagements from Fed officials this week. Many will be looking for signs of hawkishness Minutes from the July FOMC meeting will be released on Wednesday.

If "everything is awesome" as Hillbama proclaim (though there is more work to be done...) and stocks are backed by the "strength of the economy," then why are Americans' views of their financial prospects crashing to their lowest since 2014...?
One day after all three US indexes hit record highs for the first time since December 31, 1999, US equity index futures, European stocks and Asian equities are little changed after the Nikkei jumped on the back of a Yen weakness, while China reported disappointing economic data and the PBOC suggested that the flood of new debt is slowing which pushed Chinese stocks higher by 1.6% on hopes of more stimulus.
"Mrs. Clinton isn’t expected to unveil new policy in Thursday’s speech." according to The Wall Street Journal. Instead, Hillary will dial up a line of attack on Donald Trump’s economic proposals in a Thursday speech that casts his agenda as a crony giveaway that erodes his populist appeal, according to a campaign official...We wonder, if Hillary has all these brilliant ideas, then why did she not share them with President Obama - who just presided over the only term without a 3% growth year in the history of America.
S&P500 index futures were unchanged (up less than 0.1%) following another modest, low-volume levitation in European, Asian shares in a mostly eventless overnight session; oil comes off following gaining overnight with WTI trading just around $43.

You're not going to win this one - the Nazis are. And that's not a plot spoiler, it's the consequence of setting an historically authentic World War II shooter bang in the middle of 1944's disastrous Operation Market Garden.
This September invasion of mainland Europe via Holland went wrong for the Allies when Hitler's crack units counter-attacked and held their ground. The operation consequently resulted in failure, and the Nazi war machine rolled efficiently over another year's dreams of peace by Christmas. It was to be the Nazis' final great victory and a terrible trial by fire for every soldier involved.

Apple has been blowing up this week.
I’m talking about more than 15% in the past month – and that’s including Black Friday’s market crash.
In less than a week, AAPL has gone from a $161 stock to $175 in a massive bullish jump after trading in a range throughout the beginning of the month.
And this big-money trader doesn’t think it’s done yet:
We’re looking at a March 2022 call sweep here. A customer bought almost 32,000 of the March $200 calls, paying $2.50 per contract.
That’s almost an $8 million trade betting on AAPL finally breaking $200.
But I disagree.
I think Apple is way overbought. And I’m looking to fade it.
Why should you trust me – and not this $7 million trader? Well, I’ve done pretty well when it comes to Apple…
Just ask my Profit Revolution members:
“I invested $58 in AAPL and made 210% after one day! I can’t wait to reinvest this cash.” – Victoria G.
Apple is a $175 stock – but Victoria traded it for $58… and made more than triple her investment.
“I made 200% on AAPL with $644.45. And it only took two days! Profit Revolution has helped me live better financially.” – Carlos C.
That means Carlos turned $644 into $1,932 in only 48 hours, all thanks to a Profit Revolution trade recommendation.
So… how am I fading Apple this week?
Apple’s move has been nasty this week. And I think it’s going to give away some of this week’s price action.
The simplest way to play a reversal in Apple? A put.
And the December 10 $165 puts are only $0.14… and they have the potential to cash out by tomorrow!

New diesel-free Volvo S60 now on sale
Volvo has started UK sales of its third-generation S60 saloon – the first of its models to go diesel-free.
Marked out as the first Volvo car made in the US, the S60 is based on the same ‘SPA’ architecture as models including the new V60, XC60 and the 90-series cars.
It arrives in UK showrooms from 11 May in just one high-spec launch version – the front-wheel drive, petrol-engined R-Design Edition – but further trim levels and powertrain options, including petrol-electric hybrids and all-wheel drive, will follow this year. However, there will be no diesel models, in line with Volvo’s announcement 10 months ago that it’s phasing out diesel engines.
Priced from £37,920 OTR, the launch model has a performance focus, as shown by its lowered sports suspension and 19-inch alloys with a contrast diamond cut and black finish. The cabin gets heated sports front seats that are partially upholstered in Nappa leather, along with black headlining and metal mesh interior trim.
The launch specification also puts a focus on premium features, including driver’s head-up display, rear-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, heated steering wheel, 600W 14-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system, Sensus Connect touchscreen control and simple smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Driver assistance features include Pilot Assist, which brings semi-autonomous driving, plus BLIS – Blind Spot Information System – with Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Collision Mitigation.
Intended as a “pathfinder” to the rest of the forthcoming range, the R-Design Edition is powered by Volvo’s 250hp T5 turbo petrol engine with eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive: WLTP combined cycle fuel economy ranges from 35.3 to 39.8mpg, CO2 emissions are from 152g/km (NEDC Correlated) and the 0-62mph time stands at 6.5 seconds.
First deliveries of the S60 R-Design Edition are expected from May this year.

In the Victorian State budget brought down today, the Baillieu government was keen to tell us that we were in for austerity in education spending – they’re aiming for over $300 million in cuts in the next 4 years “in a bid to reign in costs” (sic) (dear oh dear, it’s having an effect already). And they reneged on the election promise to improve public school teachers’ pay. But despite this solemn need for belt-tightening, somehow they still managed to keep their promise to give $240 million over that time to private and Catholic schools.
Who is going to defend the public system? Not the Federal government.
Oh, we got $24m for maths and science specialists in Primary – that’s less than half the amount the Vic government spent this year running the frigging Grand Prix.
The rest of this post was cancelled due to excessive swearing.

Operation Shutdown began for the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 21, one day after a crushing loss to the Cleveland Guardians virtually ended their postseason dreams.
Luis Robert and Tim Anderson soon were declared out for the rest of the season, joining Michael Kopech on the list of Sox players who probably could play through their injuries if the games had any meaning.
Manager Tony La Russa already had been shut down on Aug. 30 with a heart-related issue that doctors felt was serious enough to prevent him from managing the final month. Because he hasn’t been made available to the media since the Sox announced Saturday that he won’t return to the dugout this season, we can only speculate that he didn’t deem these final games worth fighting the decision.
There may be more shutdowns as the losses pile up in the final week of the season, so stay tuned.
If you’re still watching the Sox at this point, it can be for only two reasons. Either you’re a glutton for punishment or you’ve built an immunity to pain and simply want to finish what you started.
Most of my family and friends fit in the latter category. They’ve seen many bad Sox teams over the years but watch the games until the bitter end anyway. It’s in their DNA, so they can blame it on their parents, their grandparents or even Jean Baptiste Point DuSable, the first permanent settler of Chicago.
Like the season as a whole, this ending threatens to be the worst in Sox history and might even eclipse the complete collapse of the Chicago Sky, who were outscored 18-0 in the final 3:46 of their Game 5 loss to the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA playoffs.
The Sox entered Wednesday’s game in Minnesota with a seven-game losing streak, hitting a combined .192 over that span with 61 strikeouts and 45 hits. Since the 11-inning loss to the Guardians in last week’s “must-win” series opener, they had led for only three innings in six games through Tuesday.
It has gotten so bad that postgame studio hosts Chuck Garfien and Ozzie Guillen have run out of ways to say the team is an embarrassment.
The only winner in all of this may be La Russa, who watched acting manager Miguel Cairo win for a couple of weeks, adding to the narrative that the team just needed a different voice. But Cairo’s star has faded since Operation Shutdown commenced, and now it’s clear the brief surge was a mirage.
That doesn’t mean La Russa dodges responsibility for the underachieving season, but it suggests Cairo isn’t the answer either.
So it’s back to the drawing board for … we’re not exactly sure yet.
Normally executive vice president Ken Williams would have to decide whether general manager Rick Hahn also takes the fall and if an overhaul of the clubhouse is necessary to get the Sox back on the right track. But Williams also has to share some of the blame — because he likes getting some of the credit when things go well.
The Sox have one World Series title and four trips to the postseason since Williams replaced Ron Schueler as GM after the 2000 season, then moved up the ladder in 2012. And they haven’t won a playoff series and have gone only twice since Hahn replaced Williams as GM.
In many organizations, that kind of record would lead to a no-fault divorce in which the owner thanks the executives for giving their all. But accountability is not a strong point of this organization, which hasn’t won a postseason series outside of 2005 in the last 105 years.
There are no untouchables on the Sox, aside from Dylan Cease. But there are a few unloadables, including Yoán Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Joe Kelly and Leury García, whose contracts make them likely to return in 2023.
Fortunately for Williams — and maybe Hahn — there are several talented, relatively young players who could be dealt, including Anderson, Robert and Kopech, who were focal points of the rebuild. The Sox could get something of value in return for any of them, and the player would have the motivation to prove he can stay healthy and productive the whole season.
One or more of the Sox core should be dealt early in the offseason, sending a message they’re serious about changing the culture. The Cubs blew it by hanging on too long to the core of Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez. Now their fans are paying the price with a second rebuild in a decade.
The picture the Sox painted from day one was one of a team that felt like it could turn it on when it really mattered. The lack of emotion on display in those shots of the dugout has been a constant reminder of the joylessness of playing on a .500 team.
Reinsdorf addressed that same issue back in 1996 after the Sox blew a 4½-game American League wild-card lead in early August and fell out of the race in September. In an interview with WSCR-AM, he cited third baseman Robin Ventura as an example of the “laid-back” Sox clubhouse that needed an infusion of life.
“When Harold Baines was here early in the ‘80s, no one really cared about him being laid-back because we had a lot of goofballs like Ron Kittle and Greg Luzinski and Jerry Koosman and (Tom) Paciorek,” Reinsdorf said. “But now, we don’t have anybody of that nature. I think we have to get people with a little bit better personality. But they better be able to play baseball.”
After the season the Sox added moody slugger Albert Belle, who could play baseball but didn’t help change the direction. After two more playoff-free seasons, another rebuild began.
Taking La Russa out of the picture won’t change the fact the clubhouse mix wasn’t right. And if the same core is brought back again, Operation Shutdown could become an annual event.

Nurse leaders want them. but how do they build resilience among nurses?
The profession of nursing is hard. Healthcare and its ever-changing environment makes the job of a nurse stressful. No matter how much education or what level role the nurse finds themselves on the clinical ladder, nursing is a tough career.
And while many of us struggle to survive in nursing, there are resilient nurses out there doing great things. What makes them different and how do nurse leaders support resilience in nursing?
[bctt tweet=”Here Are 8 Things Resilient Nurses Do Every Day” username=”ElizabethScala”]
A resilient nurse looks at every situation with an eye for learning. They ask themselves, “What can I take away from this experience?” Even in the face of trauma, a resilient nurse curiously reflects on what can be learned from the situation. Since the profession of nursing is filled with tragic events, supporting your nurses to focus on learning and development will increase their resilience.
2. Choose Wisely.
Have you ever heard of the idea that you become like the people you hang around? This can impact us in one of two ways. It can completely build us up or break us down. And bring this to the profession of nursing- over three million nurses in the United States alone! We travel in packs (e.g. attending conferences with our specialty organizations). Nurses learn in groups. As a newer nurse, I might compare myself to my co-workers. Do we want our nursing staff to positively or negatively influence us? If it is true that we start to become more like the people we hang out with, then a resilient nurse is choosing their colleagues wisely. They may leave the room when a group of nurses starts to gossip or complain. A resilient nurse seeks out a mentor who can teach them new things, impacting their nursing career in a positive way.
3. Enjoy a Life.
We have said it before, but will say it again… the profession of nursing is hard. A career as a nurse can become tough. A resilient nurse realizes that there are going to be stressors in the workplace. However, the nurse who is resilient does not let stress take over his or her life. Nurses who take care of themselves -in mind, body, and spirit- are much more likely to cope with the mental and emotional stress of nursing. They work hard while at work, and yet enjoy a life outside of the nursing profession.
4. See the Whole Picture.
Change happens fast in nursing. And many of the new initiatives come from outside of the profession of nursing. This can create a sense of lost control among nursing staff. A resilient nurse does not lash out in reaction to change and uncertainty. Rather, they realize the bigger picture of healthcare and how they as an individual nurse fit into the larger environment. Resilient nurses realize that change is inevitable in nursing. Instead of butting up against a new procedure or policy, a resilient nurse actually welcomes the opportunity and sees it as space to grow into (see number one above).
5. View Mistakes as Positive.
Somehow the perception of a nursing mistake is that punitive action will take place. Nurses who make an error often fear that they will get into trouble or be outcast from their nursing colleagues. While this may occur in some organizations, for the most part institutions these days have procedures in place to handle mistakes made while at work. And a resilient nurse not only knows this, but sees this as a good thing. The resilient nurse who makes an error quickly admits to it. They take responsibility for their actions and then go a step further to figure out what went wrong. Rather than feeling like a failure, the resilient nurse knows that they can learn from each and every experience (again, see numbers 1 and 4 above).
6. Act Fluidly.
Many nurses get into trouble when they find themselves saying or doing “the way things are done around here”. This may be a subtle clue that it is time for a change in their nursing careers. That being said, a resilient nurse asks questions. They seek out new information. And, in times of change the resilient nurse is flexible. They are not rigid and do not stand stubbornly with their thoughts, feelings, or actions. The nurse who is resilient is able to bend and flex to the situation on hand. Hey, this certainly comes in handy in the profession of nursing… Think about the nightmare of scheduling alone!
7. Be Yourself.
Resilient nurses think and act authentically. They are aware of the fact that they are unique individuals and are not afraid to present that to their nursing colleagues. It may be tough. Especially as we in the profession of nursing can feel bullied into acting one way or another. But the resilient nurse knows their values and lives from their strengths. They show up as the best nurse that they can be each day… and this means by being totally comfortable with being themselves!
8. Practice the Art of Nursing.
Nursing is a busy profession. Nurses are constantly on-the-go, from one task to the next. It is a day long of charting, skills, and being active in “doing” things. The resilient nurse does no less in the “action” of nursing, however they add more value by being present with the “non-doing”. A nurse who is resilient is able to be mindful while at work. They focus solely on the patient in front of them. The resilient nurse builds rapport with patients on a whole other level, tapping into the art of nursing practice. By practicing mindfulness activities outside of work (see number three above), they are able to fully balance the art with the science of nursing.
Alright! Here we are. The end of the list. Let me ask you, what did we miss? What way do you see resilience in nurses? How does the resilient nurse practice the profession of nursing?

You state that Akimichi Morita doesn't know whether smokers have more wrinkles just because cigarette smoke causes increased production of MMPs in skin cells (15 April, p 18).
In a review of 37 years of literature on smoking stress, Irwin Stone mentioned in 1976 the phenomenon of "smoker's scurvy", wherein the biochemical stress of the toxins in tobacco smoke drastically reduces levels of vitamin C in blood and urine.
In one cited study of 500 smokers, "[it was] found that excretion of ascorbate in the urine was stopped by smoking 20 or more cigarettes, indicating destruction of the body's ascorbic acid".
Since sufficient reserves of vitamin C are vital for collagen formation and repair, it seems reasonable to suppose that being marginally scorbutic contributes to smokers' wrinkles. Not only does smoke apparently damage skin on contact, but also, once inhaled, it impairs ability to repair the damage.

We've spent much more time than we anticipated in George Town. I can see why it's called velcro harbor by cruisers. After spending so much time in the Exumas where there are few grocery stores (and the ones you can find have less than the local convenience store, with similar pricing) and no way to dispose of garbage. Some places will let you throw your garbage away at $5.00 per bag. Don't get me wrong, we loved the Exumas, it was beyond beautiful and the people were always welcoming and friendly. So far, it was cruising like we dreamed that it would be. Then we made it to George Town.......
At times there were over 300 boats in the harbor between Great Exuma (where the town of George Town is) and Stocking Island (where the cruisers party begins and never ends). We made it to George Town in time for the cruiser's regatta. This is an absolutely amazing annual event for the cruisers. Some boats have been coming to George Town for over 30 years to participate in the regatta. Most of them come here for the regatta and return to the U.S. or Canada for the summer months. For almost two weeks there are events going on every day. Sailboat races, dinghy parades, volleyball, poker, infosessions covering everything from photography to cooking on a boat. It's crazy, I tell ya!
We enjoyed most of the regatta and when we couldn't take another minute of planned activities we moved across the harbor to the quiet and sheltered Red Shanks anchorage. Still close the the town, where we could dispose of the garbage, get internet and shop at a real live grocery store, but farther away from all the constant radio chatter and daily activities.
We enjoyed the company of most of the Texas Navy in Red Shanks and spent our days swimming, working on the boat and playing Mexican Train with the Texas Navy. Boats in the navy are:
s/v Sea Yawl Later - Rusty and Linda Sitton from Beaumont, Texas (founding members)
s/v Morning Glory - Ted and Milie Cook, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Storyville at anchor in Red Shanks
We shared so many memorable days together, playing Mexican Train, helping each other with boat projects, attending church services and happy hours and just getting to know each other. It's been really difficult to say goodbye as we start to head out in different directions.
It was especially hard to say goodbye to Steve since we have been constant companions and boat buddies for at least the last year and a half, if not more. We are planning to remain buddy boats with Pipe muh Bligh and we will all catch up with Steve when we make to to the Virgin Islands for New Years.
I am amazed that we have made so many wonderful friends that we will never forget. It sure makes it hard to say goodbye. We are planning for a mini reunion of the Texas Navy in George Town for the Family Island Regatta in late April. After that, with the exception of Pipe muh Bligh, everyone will scatter to the four winds and that will be a sad day indeed.

MUMBAI: Everymedia Technologies has announced that it has acquired a significant stake in UK-based digital solutions agency, Plus 1 Digital, for an undisclosed amount.
This is a strategic move that will allow Everymedia Technologies to fully develop its international plans and consolidate its position as a leader in innovative marketing strategies.
Everymedia Technologies CEO Gautam Thakker said, “We are thrilled to acquire a stake in this rapidly growing agency and look forward to working with a great international team. Over the past year we have worked closely with Plus 1 Digital and achieved some incredible results. This alliance is therefore a natural move and is part of a bigger plan to take our new group to the next level.”
Founded in 2009, Everymedia Technologies is a full-service integrated marketing communications company and has offices in Mumbai, Delhi, San Diego, Dubai and London.
Founded in January 2013 by Karen Lane, Plus 1 Digital is the digital brand of DiscoverMi which is backed by Dubai based venture company TIS Ventures FZCO. Along with other private investors from Dubai, Everymedia's acquisition stake now completes the deal and positions Plus 1 Digital as part of the Everymedia group.
The London headquartered agency has already gained considerable traction and is about to open its operations in Poland and Kenya. Other locations include South Africa and the Middle East. Plus 1 Digital has fast gained a reputation for digital solutions, design and a strong emphasis on data analysis.

The state legislature and newly seated Gov. Jan Brewer face mounting budget deficits, which will inevitably shrink the operations of state government.
State agencies at all levels will feel the pinch as Arizona’s economy continues to produce less taxable income. It is a fact of life that when businesses and individuals spend less, tax revenue drops.
Various harsh budget reduction proposals have already thumped down on the table with a sickening thud. All have flaws — none will take effect without changes. But state legislators must find a way to cut projected rates of increase across all state budget line items by about 25 percent over a two-year period to pull the state’s budget in line with revenue, according to some estimates.
One suggestion is to just impose an across the board cut and be done with it. State agencies have grown significantly in the past decade as the governor and legislature scrambled to spend the bounty of a humming economy.
Now the bill has come due, in the form of dwindling revenues. The projected deficit in the current budget amounts to $1.6 billion, and next year will balloon to $3 billion — numbers that seem to change by the day.
The Town of Payson, like some other towns and counties throughout Arizona and elsewhere, has already trimmed its budget — even at the cost of layoffs. Payson alone cut the projected increases by 10 percent in July and another 26 percent in December.
The state now has to do the same. A myriad of groups from education, to health, to transportation advocates will all plead to protect their programs.
Where then does state government reduce its spending?
For instance, schools account for a major share of state spending. But school districts make a strong case they should not be cut. Educators, both at the local school district and higher education level say legislators would be sacrificing our children’s future with severe cuts. So if education funding is sacred, where do you cut?
When you have $100 coming in the front door and $125 going out the back door each month, something has to give.
The legislature and governor must come to terms with the regrettable reality that serious cuts are needed for the remaining part of this budget year and for next year. There will be pain, but the legislature has little choice but to reduce spending to bring revenue inline with expenses, as people do every month.
Tough times will result in tough decisions.
We do hope that the Republicans who now hold uncontested sway with the departure of Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano will nonetheless consider incorporating some of the ideas in the essentially dead letter budget she left behind.
And even though the legislature she so consistently outmaneuvered must take satisfaction in her departure, she did leave some budget ideas behind. Admittedly, she uses some budget gimmicks to get through the current year — including using up the entire rainy day fund and borrowing more than a billion dollars, which will cost more billions to repay in the future.
We would hope that legislators will not place the full burden of balancing the state budget on education. Sure education will take some cuts, but the cuts must be examined carefully and not be a wholesale slaughter of education funding. The recent joint proposal by the heads of the senate and house appropriations committee places far too much of the burden on education.
Moreover, the legislature must not ignore the financial impact of its decisions on the faltering state economy. One of the lessons economic historians have gleaned from the Great Depression is that President Herbert Hoover did exactly the wrong thing when he cut spending to balance the budget as the economy weakened. But FDR’s measures didn’t work either.
So even though the state is constitutionally required to balance its budget without the kind of deficit spending the federal government has embraced to stimulate the economy, the legislature must carefully consider the economic impact of any cuts it imposes.
We do not envy lawmakers their choices right now.
But we hope they will take a flexible, pragmatic and realistic approach — taking good ideas where they find them and avoiding the reflexive embrace of ideology.
The cuts should be fair and careful — and if a fiscal juggle postpones the damage until the economy revives, so much the better.

Sildenafil, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, is the active ingredient in the widely used erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs like Viagra and Cenforce. This molecule, though small, is a game-changer in sexual medicine, heralding a new era in the treatment of ED when it was introduced to the market in the late 1990s by Pfizer. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of pharmaceutical chemistry to understand how this molecule is produced. We’ll focus particularly on the generic drug, Cenforce 200 mg, which contains 200 mg of sildenafil per tablet.
Organic Chemistry and Sildenafil Synthesis
Sildenafil is synthesized through a series of complex organic chemical reactions. This process is not unique to any one brand of sildenafil and was first described by the original team of chemists at Pfizer. However, the exact procedures and process controls may vary between manufacturers.
The sildenafil synthesis process starts with a molecule called 5-nitroisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one. Here’s a step-by-step look at the journey this molecule takes to become sildenafil:
- Nitration: The nitration of 5-nitroisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one is the first step. Nitric acid and sulfuric acid are used to introduce a nitro group (NO2), a functional group consisting of nitrogen and oxygen atoms.
- Saponification and Decarboxylation: The resultant compound from nitration undergoes saponification, a reaction with a base. Following this, a decarboxylation reaction ensues, where a molecule of carbon dioxide is removed. This reaction forms a phenol group, which consists of a benzene ring with an attached OH group.
- Acylation: The compound from the previous step undergoes an acylation reaction with acetyl chloride. This step “protects” the phenol group, preparing it for the reactions that follow.
- Cyclization: The product from acylation is reacted with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran. This step leads to the creation of an oxygen bridge between the phenol group and the benzene ring, simultaneously removing the acetyl protecting group.
- Reduction: The nitro group introduced in the first step is reduced to an amine group (NH2) through a hydrogenation process. The hydrogenation uses palladium on carbon (Pd/C) as a catalyst.
- Acylation: The compound undergoes a second acylation with 2-ethoxybenzoyl chloride. This forms the ethoxybenzene ring seen in sildenafil.
- Cyclization: The final step is cyclization using sulfonic acid and heat. This reaction closes the ring structure, culminating in the synthesis of sildenafil.
Remember, while these steps may sound simple when laid out in an article, they require advanced knowledge of organic chemistry and precise control of conditions. Only experienced chemists in a highly controlled laboratory environment can carry out these reactions while adhering to safety protocols and regulatory procedures.
Purification, Formulation, and Quality Control
Following the synthesis, the sildenafil must be purified to ensure it’s free from any reaction impurities. Once purified, it undergoes formulation – a process in which the active ingredient is combined with inactive ingredients, known as excipients. Excipients serve multiple roles, such as bulking agents, binders, coatings, disintegrants, and flavorings.
For Cenforce 200 mg, the formulation process involves combining 200 mg of sildenafil with the appropriate excipients to create each tablet. The specific recipe of these excipients is proprietary to the manufacturer and could vary from one brand to another. Rigorous quality control processes follow formulation to ensure that every tablet meets the necessary standards for safety, efficacy, and consistency.
Cenforce 200 mg and the Generic Drug Landscape
Cenforce 200 mg is a generic version of the brand name drug Viagra. As with all generic drugs, the active ingredient, in this case, sildenafil, is identical to the brand name version. The idea behind generic drugs is to provide affordable alternatives to brand-name drugs, ensuring that more patients have access to essential treatments. The production of Cenforce, just like any other generic drug, must adhere to the same strict manufacturing and quality control standards as the brand-name drug.
Understanding the production of sildenafil and its journey from laboratory synthesis to formulation as Cenforce 200 mg offers a fascinating insight into the complex world of pharmaceutical manufacturing. This process, which harnesses the power of organic chemistry, engineering, and quality assurance, underlines the commitment to enhancing human health and well-being.

Over the past several weeks, I’ve been folding stars, fractals, and tessellations for fun. I bought some pretty papers several years ago that are too thin for my normal style of folding, but I finally used them for some models that don’t require as sturdy of paper. None of these designs are original – they include Chris Palmer’s Flower Tower, Evan Zodl’s EZ Star, Dasa Severova’s Star Mathilda, tessellations from Eric Gjerde’s book, and a few others. These models are on the wall in my room now, and they help fill up some space that has been empty for quite a while.

Ethically challenging situations in animal care during COVID-19
The global pandemic has had a profound impact on people, animals and the environment. Veterinarians and allied animal health workers faced unique challenges, such as having to relinquish personal protective equipment, ventilators (and sometimes even staff) to human health care, and balancing public, client, personal and staff safety with animal welfare in an everchanging environment.
Frequency, Stressfulness and Type of Ethically Challenging Situations Encountered by Veterinary Team Members During the COVID-19 Pandemic by Anne Quain, Siobhan Mullan, Paul D McGreevy and Michael P Ward, published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science (April 2021, Volume 8) analyses the results of the largest global survey on ethically challenging situations (ECS) encountered by veterinary team members.
Previous studies have identified that veterinarians experience a high rate of ECS at work, so it is not surprising that the survey found the median frequency of ECS increased from several times per month to several times per week. It is, however, extremely important to acknowledge the issue and gain a deeper understanding of the situations and to learn from them.
The study found the most common ECS were deciding how to proceed when clients have limited finances; managing the conflict between personal wellbeing and professional role; and managing conflicts between the interests of clients and the interests of their animals.
While situations such as a client’s capacity or willingness to pay are not new ethical challenges, pet owners were not immune from the economic impact of the pandemic, and restrictions on practice operations left clinics with reduced income, adding to the stress of this ECS.
Trying to manage the safety and wellbeing of clients and their animals, as well as themselves, their colleagues and families presented veterinary professionals with enormous practical and ethical challenges. ‘Non-contact’ consultations were widely adopted Covid-safety strategies. However, providing veterinary services to animals in the absence of their owners can potentially cause distress and fear in the animal, with consequent risk to the safety of the treating team, as well as upsetting the owner. This ECS is poignantly described in the study with a quote from an Australian veterinarian who observed “in the case of very sick animals/emergencies/euthanasia owners are distressed about not being able to be with their animal. Do you cave and let them be there knowing that if you get covid19 the entire clinic team and possibly other clients could get infected, or stick to the policy knowing you are causing emotional distress to the owner and animal?”
That this veterinarian’s concerns are focused so strongly on others says much about their compassion as an individual and reflects Cat Protection’s experience of the compassion shown by the broader veterinary community.
ECS can cause moral stress and impact significantly on mental health. All stakeholders – not only the veterinary sector, but pet owners, animal welfare organisations, government, and the community at large – have a role to play in reducing the burden and risk of ECS faced by veterinary team members, and each other.
This paper provides a point-in-time snapshot of the impact of a global pandemic on veterinary teams as well as offering insights into opportunities for further investigation and policy development to support the brave and talented people who make it their vocation to be there for animals, and for the people who love them.
The pandemic presented ECS for Cat Protection also: how to manage staff, volunteer, client, veterinarian and public safety while maintaining continuity of care for our cats and continuing to pursue our mission. We made decisions that cost us financially, such as hiring additional staff to create unique teams.
While we had (and have) in place strict infection control measures, we still needed to risk manage the potential event that even one case of actual or suspected COVID-19 infection would require that person and every one of their close contacts to be absent for 14 days. Apart from the obvious fact that we wanted to minimise risk to people, if we rostered mixed personnel across shifts it could have led to almost no staff being available to provide direct cat care. Thus, applying a practical ethical framework meant choosing to draw down on savings (a future financial risk) in order to mitigate against the immediate risks to the health, safety and wellbeing of cats currently in our care.
One of our risk-management strategies, adoptions by appointment-only, revealed an unanticipated benefit: our cats were more relaxed due to meeting fewer strangers every day. When cats are less stressed, they are not only happier but less likely to become ill.
In stressful situations such as the pandemic it can be hard to see any advantages but with observation and analysis, there can be positive lessons to learn.
The full article and supplementary material (including survey respondents’ free-text comments) are open access, so free for anyone interested to read and download. Cat Protection shared the survey on our Facebook page: if you were one of the vets or vet nurses who responded, thank you for contributing to this valuable research.

The medical cost ratio is the percentage of insurance premiums paid out to doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. Investors are upset about Aetna's rising ratio, because it leaves less room for profit. But even after the rise in the cost ratio, Aetna spends less than 80 cents of each dollar in health insurance premiums on actually providing medical care. The other 20 cents go into profits, marketing and administrative expenses.
Other private insurers have similar ratios. And here's the thing: most of those 20 cents spent on things other than medical care are unnecessary. Older Americans are covered by Medicare, which doesn't spend large sums on marketing and doesn't devote a lot of resources to screening out people likely to have high medical bills. As a result, Medicare manages to spend about 98 percent of its funds on actual medical care.
Many are opposed to the government getting involved in health care. But with an innovative plan we can reduce the waste and dedicate more $$$ to actual care as opposed to advertising and administrative overhead (identifying those "undesirables" from an insurance perspective)
A single payer system puts everyone in the same pool -- to share expenses. Isn't that what insurance is supposed to be about? Now, we have companies who compete not to provide you the best service, but compete to weed out folks likely to use a lot of services.

Jess Walton witnesses life, death and seemingly magical events in this slow-moving novel that’s light on plot but heavy with philosophy.
After her great-aunt Edie dies, Jess inherits a bureau full of secrets. Though Jess had hoped for Edie’s piano so she could lose herself in music, when she discovers a glass flask hidden in the bureau, she takes it as an omen for her new baby brothers’ birth. Clem and Richie are conjoined twins, and Jess believes that the flask holds a spirit that will allow her to control the boys’ fates. With her mother and stepfather at the hospital, her grandmother mourning Edie’s death and her irritatingly exuberant friend Zoe preoccupied by a boy, Jess drifts through the stages of grief—both for Edie and, prematurely, for her newborn brothers. Jess’ behavior and experiences vacillate between magical realism and delusion, leaving the nature of the flask up to readers to determine. Just as Jess seeks meaning in coincidences, the novel strains to connect an intimate and specific situation with grand meditations on life, death, friendship and divine power. Rather than exploiting the conjoined twins for shock value, Singer goes to the opposite extreme, making them miraculous symbols of the interconnectedness of life.
More cathartic than captivating, a thoughtful piece about birth, death and everything in between. (Fiction. 10-14)

On Thursday, December 15, 2011, the Robert Russa Moton Museum honored Sheriff Harris on the occasion of his retirement.
In recognition of the impact the Prince Edward County school closings had upon Sheriff Harris’ life, Moton Director Lacy Ward, Jr. presented a resolution which read in part:
Sheriff Harris along with more than 4,000 others of his generation – some receiving no formal schooling, some receiving a private education, some leaving home for an education – suffered the prolonged loss of locally supported public schools.
Also honoring Sheriff Harris at the community event were representative of Prince Edward County, the Town of Farmville, the Prince Edward County Branch of the NAACP, the Prince Edward Elks Lodge #269, Randolph Lodge #30, F & AM, the Royal Supremes Gospel Singers, the Piedmont Regional Jail, and the Farmville Police Department.
The evening concluded with remarks and a solo from the honoree. “The highlight of the ceremony was Harris’ rendition of ‘I Won’t Complain.’ The moment spoke to his unique ability to bring the community together.”
The Robert Russa Moton Museum is a Civil Rights Museum housed in the former R. R. Moton High School. Moton is committed to the preservation and positive interpretation of the history of civil rights in education, specifically as it relates to Prince Edward County and the role its citizens played in America’s struggle to move from a segregated to an integrated society.


So firstly, I think we can all agree that what’s hot this Friday is the WEATHER. Hotter than the sun right now.
But that’s not all. This is also the week we said goodbye to a childhood icon, but hello to a hot new lippy. We’ve also seen more changes to how social platforms want us to interact with them, but also how we engage with them.
Enjoy and wear SPF.
The success story you need to take with a pinch of salt: Boycott Twitter
It’s funny to think how our relationship with social media has changed over the past two years. We can probably measure the shift between now and the Cambridge Analytica scandal in early 2018. Back then, the social platforms held all the power. Yes, Facebook was in the spotlight, but we didn’t abandon it. Research showed that whilst people stopped trusting Facebook in 2018, they didn’t close down their accounts, take the Instagram app off phones, or stop WhatsApping. Because the social platforms were in control.
But, it simply doesn’t work like that anymore. Both brands and consumers are seizing back control. First came #StopHateForProfit, and on Monday and Tuesday we saw #NoSafeSpaceforJewHate.
This week’s boycott was due to Twitter’s inaction over anti-Semitic tweets from Wiley. The posts were up for hours, spreading like wildfire, and Twitter’s failure to control the situation was the final straw for many – hence the two-day virtual walkout.
The boycott is overall being viewed as a success. Not only Twitter, but also Facebook and Instagram, have suspended Wiley’s accounts. Which is obviously a great thing. But, the true measure of whether Twitter has learned its lesson will be whether we see more hate speech sprouting up on the platform. Understandably, un-moderated platforms aren’t difficult places to search for harmful content (though AI should help us with this), but when the words come from a verified account and secure hundreds and thousands of engagements, social media platforms should notice.
So, we’re not celebrating the success of this boycott just yet as there is still a lot of work to do. We’ll be keeping an eye and hoping for the best. In this case, no news is good news.
The one you need to watch: Reels
We’ve mentioned Reels before (head to this blog for the details), a quasi-TikTok created by Instagram to keep its competitors’ hands off its users. Turns out, Instagram is really ready to put up a fight.
Reels is supposed to launch in August, and Instagram wants to make sure it goes off with a bang. We all know that a social platform is nothing without content (maybe that’s where Bebo went wrong), which is why Instagram is allegedly approaching famous TikTokers with shedloads of cash to start using Reels.
It’s an appealing proposition – a more famous platform, all the upfront cash, potential for ad revenue, a larger user base, Trump’s not threatening to ban it, etc., etc., etc.
But, it has its risks. Facebook already tried this game once with the ill-fated Lasso video platform,. Instagram is obviously a much better platform for this form of content, but is the risk worth the reward for TikTokers? Are they willing to give up the platform that made them, for the one that paid them?
The competition you need to enter: Bucket Red No 11
We always love the campaigns we see from KFC for two reasons: They’re simple and bold. The latest campaign is not only based on the simplest of marketing tactics, but will also offer you a bold lip.
It all starts with the editorial calendar. Did you know that National Lipstick Day falls on the same day as National Wing Day? Maybe not. But KFC did. Our favourite fast food chain has launched the Bucket Red No 11, a lipstick inspired in colour by the iconic red bucket and with the taste of a signature KFC.
The catch? There are only 400 products in the world. That kind of rarity surely makes these very high value? The sort of item sold at Sotheby’s in 50 years? To put into context, that means there are 2,500x more Birkin bags out there than Bucket Red No 11.
Move over Chanel No. 5 and Ruby Woo. There’s a new icon on the block.
The report you need to read: Influencers and Fashion Week
A report from Business of Fashion has confirmed something we always suspected, but never knew for sure: that when it comes to Fashion Week, we just don’t care if influencers aren’t involved.
Without a star-studded audience sat in the front row of Milan and Paris Fashion Week’s, designers saw huge decreases in mentions of their brands compared to last year. All the designers were still live-streaming, storying and posting – the only thing missing were the influencers.
This finding opens a debate about what it is we like about Fashion Week. If it was the models, the styles and the clothes, surely we would still be searching for the AW collection, following our favourite brands, or sharing the latest looks?
More likely, it seems, we were just interested in the lifestyle. The front rows, freebies and after-parties, seeing who is sat with who and wondering why.
Overall, Fashion week has reminded marketers what’s so great about influencers: They bring the fans.
At the age of 50, we say goodbye to an old friend.
Someone who we associate with Christmastime, childhood, joy, and excitement.
Someone who helped us pick the gifts we wanted most, then helpfully pointed our parents in the right direction.
Someone who taught us that toys actually cost money, and “Wow, a Bratz doll costs way more than Sylvanian Families. I can get an entire rabbit family for just one Cloe? Please. Easy choice.”
Yes. This is a goodbye to the Argos catalogue.
The phrase “print is dead” has been batted around for a while, but working in PR, we know that simply isn’t true. We continue to enjoy flicking through magazines, spreading a large newspaper or having something on hand to read on the tube. But for catalogues, maybe it is. Argos has digitized and grown, created an app, and made click-and-collect ever easier. When we weren’t paying attention, Argos grew up – and took our childhoods with it.

EURJPY has formed higher lows and lower highs, creating a symmetrical triangle pattern on its 4-hour time frame. Price is now testing the triangle resistance and might be considering a breakout.
The 100 SMA is above the longer-term 200 SMA on this time frame so the path of least resistance is to the upside. Also, the 100 SMA lines up with the bottom of the triangle, adding to its strength as support.
RSI is on the move up to show that buyers are taking control of price action. Stochastic is also heading up so EURJPY could follow suit. A bit of bullish divergence can be seen as well, as price made level lows while oscillators had higher lows. An upside breakout from the triangle pattern could last by a thousand pips, which is roughly the same height as the chart formation.
If the triangle resistance keeps gains in check, EURJPY could head back to the triangle support around 114.50 for another potential bounce. Price is already approaching the peak of the pattern so a breakout could take place soon. If it moves lower, price could drop by a thousand pips as well.
A report from the Nikkei revealed that BOJ policymakers could be discussing lowering interest rates further in the upcoming rate statement. An official shared that they are weighing the advantages and disadvantages of doing so, although it could be possible that they might reduce JGB purchases to counteract this. BOJ officials are also rumored to remove the timeline of achieving their 2% inflation target in two years.
The actual policy decision will take place next week so speculations about the event could continue to drive yen price action. Any indication that the BOJ policymakers could sit on their hands could revive yen gains while more reports suggesting that they could ramp up their stimulus could spur more losses.

On day 2, we headed out to Shuteye Ridge for some climbing and I was never so happy that we had our 4WD. The road started out pretty mild but got more entertaining as we went. I wanted to capture the epic-ness of the road, so I turned my video camera on (on my little Nikon point and shoot, not the Canon), and held my camera out the window. And um, well we bounced pretty hard and the camera popped out of my hand and died : (
We did some climbing at the Catnap Dome and Talon (thank you for the guide book Grahm), and went up to the Shuteye Peak Fire Lookout tower, where we could see a 360 degree view from Fresno to Yosemite including the Rim fire or at least the smoke from over the ridge. About 20 miles of off-roading and crawling, climbing and adventure!!!!

KUVO – an independent, public radio station in Denver, CO – interviewed Park Hill UMC in the midst of their exploratory Reconciling process last month which a featured Rev. Izzy Alavaran – Western regional organizer for Reconciling Ministries Network.
During the interview, Sofia Simon, head of the Reconciling committee at Park Hill UMC, shared why she thinks it’s important for churches to commit to welcoming all:
“There’s so much history with this church when it comes to social justice and I feel this is a piece of social justice. I want to make sure that United Methodists is really truly to its words of being ‘open hearts, open doors, and open minds.'”

ALONG THE CAPE, PART 2
Here I have started work on the almost sheer rock outcrop using cool greys then some slightly warmer ones to create some detail. Brighter greens at the top add a nice accent. I have also lightly indicated the shadows within the foreground rocks but will hold off on completing this area until the headland is finished. So much for wanting to paint this study in a loose manner! Details have crept in all over the place and I feel that I have lost sight of my original goal. It is at this point that I become discouraged with the painting and put it aside for awhile. Next I hope to make some changes and find inspiration.
