The 22 Most Inspiring Nursing School Photos of 2018

As a nursing student, it can help to connect with others who are in your shoes.

On Instagram, Chamberlain nursing students share their challenges, triumphs, advice and everything in between. They lean on other students and alumni for support throughout their nursing school journey, and celebrate each other’s milestones both big and small.

Below, we’ve chosen 22 nursing school photos that inspired us in 2018! Use #chamberlainuniversity on Instagram to join the conversation in 2019.

  1. “Graduating with the honors of distinction, while pregnant, working full time, and a family definitely wasn’t easy. I am a firm believer that anyone can do what they set their mind to. This wasn’t just for me, but for my family. As I read the words in my card from my daughter, ‘we’re proud of you’ and from my son ‘heal the world,’ I can’t help by smile. I only hope to inspire them. I’m super excited for what the future holds.” – @rochelle0323

  2. “My adventure in Haiti is unlike anything I have ever done before. I have had to step outside of my comfort zone not only as a person, but also as a nurse. During our short time here we touched the lives of hundreds of people, and we learned so many things along the way. If there is one thing that I will take with me from Haiti, it is that advocating for your patient is your number one responsibility, and if you do that right everything else will fall into place. Even if I never come back to Haiti, I know a piece of ourselves has been left behind in the education and the care that we provided. #chamberlainuniversity #globalhealth #makeadifference #sna_phx #changetheworld” - @infantnursecoltyn

  3. “Had an AWESOME time on day one of our review sessions in Chicago this weekend! Met my online Facebook study group & took pre-graduation group pics. Reunited with my immersion weekend boo’s! Ran into my undergraduate BSN mentee who is just getting started on this journey! Aaaaaaand I am officially ONE more week away till I’m done with the courses for my Masters of Science in Nursing and be eligible to sit for the boards! 👩🏾 #FamilyNursePractitionerLOADING #WhiteCoatLife #ChamberlainUniversity” - @gaelle.jay

  12. “The last 2.5 years have been a whirlwind of emotions! All the hard work, sweat, and tears were worth it for a day like today! I’m so grateful to have such a supportive family, boyfriend, and all the friends I met in my time at Chamberlain!

  18. “Grad cap on deck!!!!” - @blackbeautynp

  19. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain

    Tomorrow I begin my travels to Kenya for my community nursing clinical. This will be a journey that will not be easy to say the least, but will be a rewarding experience and will make me be a better future nurse. #communityclinical #kenya #globalhealth #chamberlainuniversity” - @sld0916

  20. “First day of my maternity clinical was AMAZING! Was able to go to the OR and see a C-section! 🤰🏻👶🏻💕” - @nursemodemel

  21. “The kids here have given me so much more happiness than I have given them. I am so grateful for every smiling face and every bubble blown. Every child has the right to health and the right to play, and I’m glad I could contribute to both. #Haiti #chamberlainuniversity #publichealth #communityhealth #communitynursing” - @romattoo

  22. “On Friday, 04.20.18 . . . after 3 years at the prime age of 33 this (as they would say) FINALLY happened. I am absolutely speechless and still trying to take it all in. I am truly and forever grateful, humbled, and blessed. Thank you to the endless support from, YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!

Markets were unable to overcome early weakness like they were Monday spending the vast majority of time in the red throughout the session. Most concerning once again was the behavior of the Nasdaq underperforming and falling .6% and the S&P 500 lost .3%. The decline was broad based with all 10 of the major S&P 500 sectors finishing in the red. Financials, healthcare and consumer discretionary acted the “best”. Speaking of consumers WMT reported earnings today and dropped almost 3.4% and it was the stocks third consecutive negative reaction to earnings. After a 4.7% gain on 11/13/14 jumping 4.7% it lost 4.4 and 3.2% on 5/19 and 2/19. WMT has not been above its 50 day SMA since January of this year and notice the problems were possibly foreshadowed by the uneasiness of life above the important round number of 90. Remember stocks that can trade comfortably above that figure generally go on to trade to par and beyond. WMT was able to CLOSE above 90 on 1/8 and 1/12 but quickly fell beneath it and since the week ending 1/16 WMT has declined 21 of the last 31 weeks and looks like another lower week will be recorded this one. It is firmly in bear market mode off 24% from recent all time highs. Switching sectors we have been highlighting the problems the semiconductors have been facing (post from 7/22). Looking through many charts and stats, I was alarmed by the 4.14% dividend yield KLAC is sporting.

Nutricia: Only use Nutilis Clear tins with red labels

Tins of thickening agent Nutilis Clear are only suitable for use if they have a red label on their lid, manufacturer Nutricia has said.

The 175g Nutilis Clear tins without red labels are an older version of the product that “could lead to a patient safety issue” with swallowing, as they have a different scoop size and usage instructions, Nutricia reminded pharmacies this month.

The older products are not compliant with the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative framework, a standardised way of labelling thickening products, but “some pharmacies are dispensing the older version,” it said.

The two versions are “not interchangeable and therefore great care needs to be taken” to ensure patients receive the correct version, the manufacturer stressed.

The older version of Nutilis Clear not suitable for patient use:

The land trust community has been protecting land for multiple values for decades. Today, some 100 regional, state, and local land trusts operate in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, collectively protecting more than 1.8 million acres of land.

Many land trusts have significant capacity to protect more important lands in the future. The additional capacity of strategic, national land conservation
partners can help accelerate conservation in areas of shared interest.

How can we get a picture of where regional and local land trust capacity is currently concentrated in the watershed? Where do land trusts focus their work within their service areas? How does staff time directly translate to capacity for conservation? Where in the watershed is the land trust community interested in continuing or expanding conservation efforts?

This map illustrates land trust staff capacity based on defined service areas of land trusts at the county level. The map uses land trust staff size (in FTEs) dedicated specifically to new land conservation and to stewardship of existing conserved land as an indicator of capacity—expressed as a “heat map” of areas of relatively greater or lesser capacity.

Note that only land trusts with at least one staff person (at approx. .5 FTE or more) were surveyed. While this likely captures the majority of capacity, it does not capture all of it. Volunteers, distinct from dedicated staff capacity, also play a significant role in the leadership of all-volunteer land trusts and the long-term stewardship of conserved lands.

Tthese maps also do not include capacity provided by major national organizations such as The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Land and others.

Side Tables

We love the idea of using several small side tables in a living room rather than one large coffee table. Side tables are ideal accents in a living area, the perfect way of adding a touch of glamour. Ideally each seating area should have its own side table to place a drink, book or tablet... This has the added advantage of freeing up space in the centre of the room.

 Our selection of contemporary side tables work well together - mix and match different materials and sizes for a unique look. These tables can also work well in a bedroom, on each side of a bed.

Moral symbols can ward off evil bosses, study says

New research shows that people who display moral symbols at work, such as an image of Jesus, may repel unethical requests from superiors.
New research shows that people who display moral symbols at work, such as an image of Jesus, may repel unethical requests from superiors. (Antonio Perez / Chicago Tribune 2012)

Believe what you will about spells to ward off evil spirits, but new research describes an easy way to ward off evil bosses.

Moral symbols — such as a religious poster hanging on a cubicle wall, or an ethically righteous quote embedded in the signature of an email — can keep employees from getting pulled into an employer's dishonest business practices and can even discourage the employees' superiors from engaging in nefarious acts, according to researchers from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School.

Employees asked to fudge financials, help cover up a marital affair or participate in broad deceit of the kind exposed last year at Volkswagen, which admitted to cheating on emissions tests through a "defeat device" in its diesel engines, may feel forced to choose between their morals and their jobs.

However, displaying moral symbols can offer protection against unethical requests — like wearing a necklace of garlic to guard against vampires, only based on scientific observation, not fiction — according to the study, which is scheduled to appear in the Academy of Management Journal.

"We want to empower people," said Maryam Kouchaki, assistant professor of management and organizations at Kellogg, who co-wrote the study with Sreedhari Desai at UNC. "How can we behave such that we reduce these incidents and requests?"

Kouchaki and Desai conducted five laboratory tests and one survey to test their theory that exposure to moral symbols would reduce immoral behavior.

In one study, 148 college students were asked to play a decision-making game with prize money at stake. Participants were told they would be paired with two other team members — Pat and Sam — whom they would meet via email.

Some participants received an introductory email from Pat that included the morally themed quotation: "Better to fail with honor than succeed by fraud." Others got an email from Pat with no quotation, and none of the emails from Sam contained a quote.

Each participant of Team 1 had to decide whether to send an honest or a deceptive message to Team 2 about whether a certain payment method would result in the most money for Team 2 — but with financial consequences for Team 1. The honest message would likely result in Team 1 losing $18, while the deceptive message would result in Team 1 losing just $3. Team 1 also had to decide who would deliver the message. Neither Team 2 nor the messenger would ever know if the message was deceptive.

The researchers found that participants were less likely to send a deceptive message if they had been exposed to Pat's moral quote — 46 percent who had been exposed to the quote chose to send the deceptive message, versus 64 percent of people who had not been exposed to it. They also found that those who decided to send the deceptive message were far less likely to ask Pat to deliver it if they had received the moral quote — 23 percent of those who had received the quote sent Pat on the mission, versus 55 percent of those who had not.

When participants were asked later what influenced their decisions, none said the emails had been a factor, suggesting the effect operates, in part, on a subconscious level.

Four other experiments yielded similar results.

To test the theory in real life, the researchers surveyed 104 pairs of bosses and subordinates from a variety of organizations in India, where religious icons are commonplace.

They found that subordinates who displayed moral symbols — such as pictures of Krishna, Buddha, Jesus or rosary beads — were more likely to be considered by their bosses to have high moral character and were less likely to have been asked to compromise their ethics at work, even when the supervisors were of a different religion.

In addition, there was no difference in performance ratings or other backlash, suggesting that people who aren't subjected to unethical requests because of moral displays don't suffer retaliation for it.

The studies suggest that seeing a moral symbol increases a person's own moral awareness, plus it creates the perception that the displayer of the symbol possesses a high moral character and is therefore less likely to fulfill an unethical request. That's important, the researchers say, because it shows that employees have power to influence office behavior from the bottom up.

The research did not explore how moral symbols influence workplaces where sketchy ethics are baked into the culture, though Kouchaki said she expects it would have an effect there too.

Perhaps the subprime mortgage crisis would have been averted with a few Gandhi quotes taped to computer monitors.

Be Present

Every other week, my friends and I who are on group chats together, will send little videos that pop up in our memories or time hops from when our kids were infants and toddlers. Those adorable games of peek-a-boo that went on forever, or the infamous "claw" that would have them all in hysterics brings a sense of joy, but also a touch of sadness. Because when we were in those actual moments, we weren't 100 percent present. We were worried about a meeting we had to make, or how we still hadn't lost the baby weight. We fretted over what's for dinner or how our child screamed in the store. We stressed about a missed PTA email or how the laundry was piling up and we still had no idea what to make for dinner.

The concept of "Being Present" while your kids are little is tough. Throughout the toddler years of my boys, I felt a cycle of guilt. In the back of my mind, I always had this voice, telling me to be present. But my brain told me to focus on the things that would help our family and home function on a better level. Is the playroom picked up? Are the dishes in the sink done? Did everyone get a bath and teeth brushed?

Throughout the last year, as my kids have grown, being present is just as hard of a task, considering the new found activities, sports and school work. I decided that letting go of a lot of the things I thought were important was key to playing a more present role in my family and with my friends.

This month, "Be Present" is my focus. Each day, as I move through the ordinary, exciting, the stressful and the mundane, I will make the choice to put down my phone, leave the laundry to pile up, and be in the now with my people. That may mean a game of Super Mario Bros. with my boys when I really have a writing deadline, or it may mean taking the time to invite a friend to coffee who I know needs to get a lot off her shoulders.

Being present in life comes in many forms. From being an active participant in our children's lives to being engaged in our own. Taking those extra few moments in the morning to thank God for the blessings in my life, and to pray for those who need it.

And as we approach Valentine's Day, it's the perfect time to approach being present with the ones you love, making the time necessary to show them you care. This could be sending a note to a friend you haven't seen in a while letting them know you're thinking of them, or a simple phone call. The act of connecting with others is the essence of being present. And making the decision to take the time to play an active role in the now will make each experience that much more genuine. So as you move through February, focus on being front row in your movie of life.

Exploring Mexico’s ancient wonders

In this week’s travel feature Janeve Freyone visits Mayan ruins in Mexico.

by Janeve Freyone

The Yucatan Peninsula in south eastern Mexico comprises three separate Mexican states: Yucatán, Quintana Roo and Campeche, as well as parts of Belize and Guatemala.

As far as Mexican destinations go, the Yucatan Peninsula has it all, from ancient Mayan ruins and the secret unerworld of Mexico’s cenotes to colonial cities and the white sands and turquoise waters of Riviera Maya’s stunning coastline.

There are a number of adventure and eco parks in the area and a vibrant nightlife in both Cancun and Playa del Carmen. As a holiday destination, Mexico offers a wide range of things to see and do, meaning that there is something to suit every type of traveller.

We tried to see and do as much as possible during our stay in order to make the most of what Mexico has to offer.

The Mayans were one of the most brilliant ancient civilizations and were ahead of their time in the fields of architecture, astronomy, science and mathematics. Therefore, from the outset, no visit to Mexico would have been complete for us without visiting some of the many Mayan ruins dotted around the peninsula, the most famous of which is arguably Chichen Itza, which was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.

Image 4 - Traditional Mayan dwellings called 'palapas'

The site is dominated by El Castillo, or Temple of Kukulkan (feathered serpent), and the Great Ball Court, which are impressive both in terms of architecture and acoustics. As we walked around, hordes of tour groups could be heard clapping in front El Castillo, which creates an echo that resembles the cry of the quetzal, a Central American bird that Mayans believed was a messenger of the Gods.

Without a doubt, Chichen Itza is definitely worth visiting. However, it was our visit to the less excavated and restored archaeological site of Coba which was the highlight of our trip. We booked an excursion which included a visit to Tulum, Coba and a Mayan village through Alltournative, a company that helps to sustain small and secluded Mayan communities by providing employment to locals while also preserving the customs and traditions of the Mayan culture.

Our first stop was the ruins at Tulum, a walled city originally called Zamá (place of the dawning sun) due to being situated atop cliffs overlooking Mexico’s east coast.

After this we made our way to Coba. Despite its proximity to the coastal tourist areas of the Riviera Maya, Coba is often overlooked by visitors and for this reason is much less crowded. Situated deep in the Mexican jungle, the Coba ruins are surrounded by two lakes as well as various cenotes (sinkholes). In fact, Coba means ‘waters stirred by the wind’, an appropriate Mayan name given its location.

What makes Coba unique is that it is the nexus of the largest network of stone causeways of the ancient Mayan world.

These paved roads, known as ‘sacbeob’, connect the various sites to the central temple pyramid. Coba was estimated to have had a population of around 50,000 inhabitants at its peak of civilisation, making it an important Mayan city. Although the entire site spreads over more than 80 km², only a small fraction (around 3%) of the total site has been excavated.

The central group of temple pyramids is known as the Nohoch Mul (large hill), the tallest of which, Ixmoja, is 42 metres in height and is among the tallest pyramids on the Yucatán Peninsula. One of the main appeals of visiting Coba is that Ixmoja is one of the only Mayan pyramids that is still open to the public to climb.

Nohoch Mul is around 2km from the main entrance and as we walked beneath the shade of the jungle canopy, we saw glimpses of ruins nestled into the surrounding vegetation – it felt like a scene out of Indiana Jones’ Raiders of the Lost Ark. Alternatively, there are also bicycles to rent, or you can take a round trip tricycle-taxi to take you there and back. Climbing Ixmoja can seem like a daunting task as the 120 stone steps to the top are steep and uneven, but the spectacular views make it all worthwhile.

Standing at the top of the pyramid you can see the dense expanse of the Mexican jungle stretching out to the horizon. This was one of the most memorable moments of our holiday and was truly exhilarating.

Our final stop of the day was a small Mayan community where we enjoyed a delicious typical Mexican lunch cooked by the local village women.

Image 2 - Ixmoja temple pyramid - Nohoch Mul, Coba

The community still observes many of the traditional customs of the Mayan culture which are handed down from generation to generation. After lunch we ventured into the Mexican jungle to enjoy a refreshing swim in a nearby cenote. As we made our way there, spider monkeys screeched and swung from the trees above.

Cenotes played an important role in Mayan rites and were considered sacred as they were both a source of fresh water and believed to be gateways into the afterlife. Therefore, before entering the cenote, we were blessed in a traditional Mayan ceremony led by a Shaman. Swimming in the refreshing crystal-clear waters of the underground cenote was a truly surreal experience. A sole shaft of sunlight illuminated the extraordinary rock formations of stalactites and stalagmites adorning the cave, making this ancient underground world simply breath-taking to behold.

The Mayan people were happy to share their way of life with us which gave us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in their culture and made this an unforgettable and authentic experience.

A True Story of Justice and Redemption

Just Mercy: Michael B Jordan and Brie Larson Star in a True Story of Injustice

Just Mercy: Michael B Jordan and Brie Larson Star in a True Story of Injustice

(Updated 02/11/2020)

Between the holidays and awards season, the end of the year is packed with must-see movies. From family-friendly franchise hits to major musicals, there’s something for everyone. For moviegoers who want to spend the holidays with a heartwarming tale of humanity and redemption, there’s JUST MERCY, a moving drama from the director of SHORT TERM 12.

JUST MERCY stars Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larson and tells the remarkable true story of lawyer Bryan Stevenson. Read on for a closer look at this new drama, and the story that inspired it.

A Tale of Justice and Redemption

[Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures]

Based on Bryan Stevenson’s autobiography of the same name, JUST MERCY follows the prominent lawyer and social justice activist in the early days of his career. After graduating from Harvard in 1985, Stevenson went to work for the Southern Center for Human Rights in Alabama, where he helped lower-income inmates on death row appeal their convictions... until Congress eliminated funding for the operation. Since Alabama was the only state that did not provide legal assistance to inmates on death row, Stevenson witnessed first-hand how crucial this service was, particularly for impoverished prisoners who could not afford representation. So the attorney launched another program in its place. He founded the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama, which he funded with the help of a MacArthur grant.

JUST MERCY centers on one case in particular, and the profound impact it had on Stevenson’s career. The film follows Stevenson and his team at the Equal Justice Initiative as they appeal the case of Walter McMillian, a black pulpwood worker in Monroeville, Alabama who was sentenced to death row in 1988 for a murder he did not commit. Despite having multiple witnesses to confirm his alibi, including a police officer, McMillian was sentenced to life in prison. In a shocking turn of events, a judge overruled the jury’s decision and sentenced McMillian to death.

Marvelous Stars

The Marvel Stars in the Just Mercy Cast

JUST MERCY brings together two major stars from the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Michael B. Jordan (BLACK PANTHER) and Brie Larson (CAPTAIN MARVEL). The filmmaker behind JUST MERCY is Destin Daniel Cretton, who worked with Larson on his two previous dramas: 2017’s THE GLASS CASTLE and 2013’s SHORT TERM 12. Cretton also has a connection to Marvel: He’s set to direct SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS, the first Marvel movie to feature an Asian hero in the lead role.

In JUST MERCY, Jordan plays Bryan Stevenson, with Larson taking on the fictional role of Eva Ansley, a local advocate who helps Stevenson. They’re joined by Jamie Foxx, who plays Walter McMillian, the death row inmate whose case proves life-changing for everyone involved. Rounding out this excellent ensemble are Rob Morgan (who starred in Marvel’s "Daredevil" on Netflix), Tim Blake Nelson (also appearing in this fall’s THE REPORT and "Watchmen"), Rafe Spall (JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM), and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS).

A Phenomenal Filmmaker

Just Mercy director Destin Daniel Cretton

With SHORT TERM 12, Destin Daniel Cretton asserted himself as one of the most thoughtful new directors working today. That film starred Brie Larson as Grace, a supervisor at a home for troubled teens who struggles to balance her personal needs with the needs of the kids in her care. Cretton exhibited a strong sense of empathy for every character in SHORT TERM 12, and that approach makes him perfect for JUST MERCY, which demands sensitivity and understanding from both the filmmakers and the audience.

Cretton also has a knack for casting: SHORT TERM 12 featured several actors who went on to have major careers, including Larson, Lakeith Stanfield (KNIVES OUT and “Atlanta”), Kaitlyn Dever (BOOKSMART), and Rami Malek (BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY).

In February, Cinemark will honor Black History Month with $5 tickets to JUST MERCY in select theatres. Black History Month has been established as an annual national celebration of achievements by African Americans since 1976. JUST MERCY honors the dedication and legal work of Bryan Stevenson, and we want to give more audiences a chance to experience Stevenson's story.

JUST MERCY is in theatres now!

The Beatles: Get Back — Everything You Need to Know

The Beatles: Get Back — Everything You Need to Know

In 1969, famed rock band The Beatles played their final concert on the rooftop of their London record office following the recording sessions for material that ended up on their final albums, "Abbey Road" and "Let it Be." Footage of the sessions, combined with that rooftop show, was released as the 1970 movie LET IT BE, but something always seemed to be missing.

Now director Peter Jackson (THE LORD OF THE RINGS) has gone back to the original 16mm film reels to create a new re-edited remaster of the movie. Working with 55 hours of unseen footage and 140 hours of audio from the recording sessions — most of which the public has never heard — Jackson has created THE BEATLES: GET BACK, effectively a new look at the band's final active period. Here's everything we know about the new Beatles movie.

The History of Let it Be

The recording sessions and rooftop concert seen in the original movie were filmed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969. He had already made other promo films for the band and had also worked with The Rolling Stones. Lindsay-Hogg had recently done the TV movie "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus," which featured a performance by Beatles co-founder John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono.

LET IT BE was originally conceived as a similar television project, with the rehearsal and recording sessions leading towards a concert broadcast under the title "Get Back," which was also planned as the album title. The project was meant as a "back to basics" approach to songwriting, recording, and performing. Ultimately the television approach was scrapped, and LET IT BE came into being as a theatrical release. There's no trailer for the new movie yet, but you can see the original LET IT BE trailer above.

A New Look at Old Friends

George Harrison in The Beatles: Get Back

LET IT BE, both as a movie and an album, has been controversial since the original release. The album featured embellishments, added by producer Phil Spector, which undermined the "back to basics" approach. Surviving Beatle Paul McCartney eventually spearheaded "Let it Be… Naked," a new mix of the record which restored the band's original intent.

The movie, meanwhile, has been noted for showing more of the contention that had developed between band members, at the expensive of depicting other aspects of their relationships.

In a statement, Paul McCartney said, "I am really happy that Peter has delved into our archives to make a film that shows the truth about The Beatles recording together. The friendship and love between us comes over and reminds me of what a crazily beautiful time we had."

Drummer Ringo Starr added, "I’m really looking forward to this film. Peter is great and it was so cool looking at all this footage. There was hours and hours of us just laughing and playing music, not at all like the version that came out. There was a lot of joy and I think Peter will show that. I think this version will be a lot more peace and loving, like we really were."

Peter Jackson's Approach

THE BEATLES: GET BACK features a pristine restoration of the original footage, done at Park Road Post Production of Wellington, New Zealand. It is edited by Jabez Olssen, who previously worked with Jackson on the documentary THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD, in which archival footage from World War I was colorized, remastered and edited to offer a new look at soldiers who fought a century ago. The film's music is mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios.

Peter Jackson said, "working on this project has been a joyous discovery. I’ve been privileged to be a fly on the wall while the greatest band of all time works, plays and creates masterpieces. I’m thrilled that Disney have stepped up as our distributor. There’s no one better to have our movie seen by the greatest number of people."

Greatly Expanded

The original LET IT BE ran a tight 80 minutes to showcase footage from both the recording sessions and the Savile Row rooftop concert at the office of Apple Records. The concert was edited down somewhat from its full 42-minute runtime.

In addition to featuring far more footage from the recording sessions, this new Beatles movie features the entire rooftop concert, complete with band and bystander banter and multiple takes of "Get Back," "I've Got a Feeling" and "Don't Let Me Down." There's no chance that GET BACK will let down any Beatles fan, old or new!

THE BEATLES: GET BACK opens on September 4.

Global Fund Consultation: Topic 1: Lives Saved

Increasing the number of lives saved, impact and value for money
Guiding Question
Thinking about what it funds and the way funding is currently provided, what should the Global Fund do more of – or less of – in order to maximize value for money and increase the number of lives saved and infections prevented?

Have your say! click here

In the past nine years, the Global Fund has proven itself an efficient and cost-effective mechanism for expanding the world’s response to the global pandemics of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria.

By the end of 2010, over 3 million people are receiving ARV treatment from Global Fund financing. 7.7 million people have received anti-tuberculosis treatment, and 160 million long lasting insecticidal nets have been distributed for malaria prevention. Beyond the three diseases, Global Fund investments have also made major contributions to health systems and achievement of Millennium Development Goals 4 (reduce child mortality) and 5 (improve maternal health). These contributions are part of a global effort to change the course of the three diseases through the provision of unprecedented, yet still insufficient, financial support.

At the same time, questions exist as to whether the Global Fund’s systems and processes for accessing funding are still as rapid and simple as originally planned. In turn, this raises for discussion the topic of whether there is sufficient predictability in Global Fund financing to ensure continued scale-up of high quality services at the country level in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. In a global environment of increasing focus on ensuring improved value for money (cost effectiveness) and increased impact for the money spent (ensuring that resources are spent on the right interventions, in the right contexts, and for the right people), it is useful to consider whether the Global Fund should do more of some things, and less of others, and also whether the current funding modalities permit sustained impact.

Measures 5 and 50

Curious about how and why your property values fluctuate? We invite you to watch a short video that was created to help answer some of your questions!

Measure 5 Tax Limitation

The Oregon Constitution sets limits on the amount of property taxes that can be collected from each property tax account. These limits are often called the "Measure 5 limits."

To calculate these limits, taxes are divided into categories described in the constitution. The categories are:

  • education
  • general government

Some taxes, usually for general obligation bonds, are not subject to limitation.

The limits are $5 per $1,000 of real market value (RMV) for education taxes and $10 per $1,000 of RMV for general government taxes.

If taxes in either category exceed the limit for that property, the taxes are reduced or "compressed" until the limit is reached.

Local option taxes are compressed first. If the local option tax is compressed to zero, and the limit still hasn't been reached, the other taxes in the category are proportionally reduced.

Please note that these limits are based on the RMV of the property, not the "taxable assessed value."

Measure 50 Value Limitation

How Does It Work?

  • Rolled back the 1997-98 assessed (taxable) value of each property to 90 percent of its 1995-96 value. This is known as Maximum Assessed Value (MAV). Adjustments to MAV are made for items such as new construction.
  • Limits future growth on maximum assessed value to 3% percent annually unless it exceeds the real market value.
  • Taxes are based on the lower of real market value (RMV) or maximum assessed value (MAV), which is known as assessed value (AV).
  • Exceptions to the 3% cap are items such as new construction, remodeling, new subdivisions, and rezoning which may increase assessed value and taxes more than 3%.
  • AV can also increase more than 3% when Real Market Value is less than Maximum Assessed Value and market values are increasing.
  • Established permanent tax rates for all local districts with existing tax bases and serial levies.
  • Allows voters to approve new short-term local option levies to fund additional services or approve bond measures for capital improvements. These are outside the permanent rate limits, and need to be approved at a general election or an election with at least a 50% turnout (double majority).

Toro Spacio

Ronda, Spain

June 2018

Photography : Mario Martin

BLOW a performance made in response to the SURFACE WORK exhibition of paintings and drawings by Scots artist Roanne O'Donnell at Toro Spacio Ronda 31st May - 1st July 2018.

The exhibition consisted of brooding textured graphite drawings and paintings that refer to the coal mining tradition in Scottish mines of the artist’s family. Alongside the drawings she showed photographs with biographical descriptions of the strong women and others in her family who bore and supported the coalminers.

Introducing vivid colour and new air into the space she breathed on each of the paintings or the photographs of Roanne's ancestors and left small pink marks by or on some of the works. The video "Where Did You Go" made by Clare when her own mother died played during the piece with her voice filling the space with those words. Having walked slowly through the gallery stopping at each of Roanne's works, her persona then shifted from statuesque and solitary, not making eye contact with anyone as she performed these actions, to friendly and smiling as she offered her orange rope to Roanne to hold and then invited the audience to hold it too and to follow her out of the gallery and into the street as she sang a refrain from the Scots folk song "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean". The audience included several ex pats who joined in the song.

Clare says of the experience “Roanne and I are both Celts and share a sense of respect for the struggles our ancestors faced as migrants settling in the British Isles. Both pieces of work, Roanne's exhibition and my performance, act as contemporary response and revelation of a history that is disappearing as well as an homage to our family histories and an affirmation of the bond that she and I share as artists and friends.”

With thanks to Roanne O’Donnell and to Claudio Carrillo Godino at Toro Spacio. Thank you to Mario Martin photographer at Foto Estudio Juan Manuel Ronda for

In the U.K. thanks to Helen Richardson Couture for my costume and to Hidden Beauty Oxfordshire for my nails.

Latest News County Clare

Absence of footpath only allows children on one side of road walk to Moyasta school

in Home/News by

A percentage of students at a West Clare primary school are unable to walk or cycle to school due to the absence of a footpath.

Private land will have to be acquired if a footpath is to be constructed from the junction of L6088-0 and Moyasta National School, Council engineers have advised. This area covers 120m on the N67 which is a national secondary road.

Senior engineer, Alan Kennelly flagged that a double continuous white line is present on this part of the N67 which is under a 60km/h speed limit. “There is not space available to construct a footpath between the existing road boundary and the carriageway edge so some private land will be required”. No contact has taken place between the private landowner and Clare County Council.

Construction of a footpath was sought by Cllr Gabriel Keating (FG) at the June meeting of the West Clare Municipal District. He claimed that “the land required is available to carry out the work” and highlighted “it is only a very short distance”. Pupils walk to school on Wednesdays in an attempt to win a Green Flag, Keating outlined. “Owners of the land are willing to give us the land,” he emphasised.

With regard to the ‘walk on Wednesday’, Cllr Roisin Garvey (GP) stated, “Only people on one side of the road can walk, you feel so bad because the lack of a footpath means children on side of the road can’t walk to school”. She added, “There is no commuter belt on those secondary or tertiary roads so I strongly support the motion”.

Latest News County Clare

Knockout places secured in senior camogie championship

in Home/Sport by

Reigning county and provincial champions Scariff/Ogonnelloe have consolidated their place iin the knockout stages of the Clare senior camogie championship.

In a fight for survival at Fr McNamara Park on Saturday evening, Scariff/Ogonnelloe dumped the Ger O’Connell managed Truagh/Clonlara out of the championship with a 1-16 1-10 victory. Full-forward Aoife Power converted 1-01 over the hour while Mairead Scanlan’s contribution of 0-07 was also pivotal as Jim Minouge’s outfit progressed to the knockout stages aided by indiscipline from the South-East Clare women.

Inagh/Kilnamona’s scheduled outing against Sixmilebridge was postponed on Saturday due to a member of The Bridge panel coming into contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19. Clare Camogie chiefs have yet to confirm if the game will proceed but The Clare Echo understands that the fixture will not take place and Inagh/Kilnamona will be awarded top spot in Group Two.

A two goal haul from Carol O’Leary helped Newmarket-on-Fergus advance to the semi-finals. Prior to their 3-12 2-10 win over Kilmaley, the Blues were at risk of being eliminated from the championship. In a game that had flashes of lightning plus the flashes from the camera of David Dillon, Newmarket showed an improvement from their second round defeat to Kilkishen/Bodyke but their display would be insufficient to knock out one of the powerhouses. Despite the result, Kilmaley still secured their place in the last four.

Needing a considerable win and for the other group tie to go in their favour, Kilkishen/Bodyke were unable to put enough scores on the board in their meeting with St Josephs Doora/Barefield. It finished 1-15 3-06 in their favour against the intermediate champions of 2019.

Clooney/Quin recorded an impressive 1-18 2-01 win over Tulla with seven different scorers over the hour for the victors in the intermediate championship. Éire Óg had nine points to spare over Whitegate as they secured a 1-14 1-05 win. Feakle/Killanena’s strong run of form continued as they got past Clarecastle/Ballyea on a margin of 1-20 2-06.

Kilkishen/Bodyke saw off Ruan in the Junior A championship while there was success for Clarecastle/Ballyea, Scariff/Ogonnelloe, Truagh/Clonlara and Éire Óg in their Junior B outings.

Oosthuizen signs up to Irish Open at Lahinch

in Home/News/Sport by

Former Open Champion, Louis Oosthuizen is the latest name to sign up for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open at Lahinch, The Clare Echo can confirm.

The South African joins 2018 Ryder Cup star Tommy Fleetwood, former Masters Champion Danny Willett and former World Number One Lee Westwood in the field for the second Rolex Series event of the 2019 Race to Dubai. Louis has earmarked Lahinch Golf Club as the perfect place to hone his links skills ahead of the final Major of the 2019 season in Northern Ireland two weeks later. Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry have also confirmed their participation in the event, which is hosted by 2014 Ryder Cup winning captain Paul McGinley.

Organisers are hopeful Lahinch Golf Club will host a unique festival of golf, with a world class field preparing to enjoy a unique and incredible atmosphere with the popular tourist village of Lahinch literally on the doorstep of the famous links course.

Oosthuizen last played the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in 2009, a year before he famously lifted the Claret Jug at St Andrews courtesy of a seven-stroke victory, becoming just the fourth South African player to win The Open Championship after Bobby Locke, Gary Player and Ernie Els.

The World Number 20 is regarded as a links expert, having come agonisingly close to a second Open title at St Andrews in 2015 losing out in a three-way play-off to Zach Johnson. The 36 year old has also enjoyed some form on an Irish coastal venue, having claimed a top five finish in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open at Co. Louth Golf Club in 2007. Oosthuizen will enter this summer high on confidence after coming close to a maiden PGA Tour triumph at the Valspar Championship last week.

“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Ireland and playing links golf again,” said Oosthuizen. “It’ll be three weeks of links golf. Playing in America, you lose the feel of links golf and you need a proper links course to get those low, running shots back. I’ll be over there in Ireland for three weeks and I’ll have the family with me, so it’ll be fun. I’ll spend the week playing links golf, the week in between taking a break with the family, drive around Ireland, go along the West coast all the way up to Portrush. It should be fun”.

He admitted to not being too familiar with Lahinch. “I don’t know much about Lahinch – I spoke to Paul about it and he’s really been telling me what he’s trying to achieve and how the golf course will look. It’s great seeing Paul be really passionate about the tournament. He’s emailing me a lot and talking to me about it and I’m really looking forward to going.

Emma (2020): Review

Lovely on the surface but who is getting hitched?

Emma is based on the novel of the same title by Jane Austen. In Austen’s time the rituals of social behavior and courting were very complex. Making it more difficult to break down the complexity was interpreting the language of the time. The principal character Emma Woodhouse (Anya Taylor-Joy) is a vain, arrogant young woman whose opinions are highly regarded, especially her opinions in matters of love and marriage although in that regard she has little experience.

Nevertheless, she offers help to a friend in conducting courting rituals. Her friend Harriet Smith (Mea Goth) sits on every word Emma says and is willing to let Emma control her life and her relations with men. At the same time, Emma is carrying out these rituals and helping other young women to find matches. She also encourages young men to seek out certain young women. And so it goes as Mr. Frank Churchill says, “It is the lady who must decide on the degree of acquaintance.”

It is hard to imagine a movie with more elegant and lavish sets. The exteriors and interiors resemble paintings. But the action is so blunted that when someone moves, it is surprising. The first act goes on forever. We see Emma prominently in most all scenes and always there are close-ups of her. The repetition of scenes boors and is combined with intense listening to olde English to decipher who is who and who is attracted to whom. We are slightly titillated and confused but mostly board. When will something happen?

The spring-time release of this move is perfect. We look at lovely spring scenes and the fresh face of a young mistress. The entire fairy-tale setting is enjoyable. But these elaborate scenes continue one after another and seem more from a fashion magazine than from a story with a plot. During a church sermon, the pastor tells the congregation our time is a time of innocence. Maybe on the surface, but underneath there is jealousy, envy, class division and nastiness all around.

The score is jarring and there are mysterious occurrences. Instead of visual cutaways from the action, the director gives the movie musical cutaways of 18th century gospel songs. The effect is annoying and cloying. It dumbs down the whole movie. If the music was meant to be comical, it misses by a mile. Unexpected elements are thrust out. First there are young women in red dresses who parade around in some scenes. It is never clear who these women are, maybe nuns? Second there is a game which Harriet Smith and her young friends play which involves cutting a cake to the last piece. This game seems included to send the audience members to Google. Third, why is the formal ball held in an empty warehouse? In all these beautiful manor houses, there must be at least one that has a ballroom. Is it that no one can step in your grand house that is not vetted? The movie tries to be a comedy of manners, but it misses. The comedy can make you twinge. It might have been special to an audience of two hundred years ago.

Emma’s journey as a character appears occasionally but it’s hidden behind the gorgeous production. She does realize her hurtful comments won’t do. She zings Miss Bates (Miranda Hart) who is wounded. In the process, she learns humility, forgiveness and true love. But her character development is so removed from what we see, it’s hard to follow. It’s like foot prints in the snow during Doctor Zhivago.

The third act and the end are a relief from the boring opening and the first two acts which build up tension just trying to figure out when this movie is going to end. Clueless is a modern versions of the same tale but much more creative, funny and enjoyable.

If you like to see lovely costumes and breathtaking outdoor sets and museum quality indoor sets, this movie will satisfy you. But you will find yourself hunting for the plot. The movie is suitable for children of all ages, especially those who like pretty pictures. For adults, there are some snickers and cleverness.

Bad Movie Theatre: Clint and Bo vs. a Skier-eating "Snowbeast"

As Will Shakespeare might have said: "We come not to criticize bad movies, but to appreciate them for providing a contrast to good movies." Lest we not forget, the line between intentional and unintentional humor can be a fine one. With these insights in mind, we introduce Bad Movie Theatre, a new occasional feature at the Cafe.

Bo Svenson--not to be confused with Bo Derek.
Before discussing Snowbeast, I want to clarify that the "Clint" and "Bo" of this post's title do not refer to Eastwood and Derek. Alas, we are talking about Clint Walker and Bo Svenson. The confusion is understandable: Both Clint's are tall (though Walker towers four inches above Eastwood) and both Bo's are blonde (Svenson is a guy, Derek is not).  For the record, Bo Svenson is fourteen inches taller than Bo Derek and that's if the latter's height is rounded up. Yes, our Clint and Bo are both 6' 6"--which is good if you're fighting an equally tall carnivorous Bigfoot.

Yvette Mimieux, who has little to do.
Bo Svenson plays Gar Seberg (no relation to Jean), a former Olympic skiing gold medalist making a promotional appearance at the 50th Winter Carnival at Rill Lodge. Gar and his wife Ellen (a dark-haired Yvette Mimieux) have a rocky marriage, mostly because of Gar's mid-life crisis. She wants him to ask lodge manager Tony (Robert Logan) for a job. Tony, incidentally, still has a thing for Ellen, who jilted him for Gar years earlier.

As if the big celebration and his former flame weren't enough, Tony has to deal with the mutilated corpse of a skier found near the slopes. The scene where he informs his preoccupied grandmother (Sylvia Sidney), who owns the lodge, is a personal favorite:

TONY (referring to the skier's death):  "This wasn't an animal...and it wasn't human either."

GRANDMOTHER:  "Well, that certainly narrows it down."

Snowbeast peeking through the gym window.
You can't fault Grandma's logic. Her focus, naturally, is ensuring that nothing stops the carnival since its financial success is critical to avoiding bankruptcy. Despite Tony's pleadings, Grandma moves ahead with the beauty pageant and other festivities at the high school gym. Just when the townsfolk are packed in there like sardines, the Snowbeast attacks. Following its rampage, Sheriff Paraday ("special guest star" Clint Walker), Gar, and Tony set out to track the monster down.

Since Snowbeast is a low-budget affair, the monster is only glimpsed in its few appearances--which is a good thing since it's not very impressive-looking. Instead, we get a lot of first-monster camera views, hear growls, and see tracks in the snow.

If the plot of Snowbeast sounds vaguely familiar, it may be because its premise--a monstrous creature attacking a resort during tourist season--was lifted from Jaws (Spielberg's film adaptation was released two years earlier). Sadly, the script was written by Joseph Stefano, who--earlier in his career--wrote the screenplay for  Hitchcock's Psycho and twelve episodes of The Outer Limits (including the classic "The Zanti Misfits").

Clint Walker, who fared better as Cheyenne.
For the record, both Clint and Bo fared better in other movies with large terrifying creatures. The Night of the Grizzly may be Clint's best theatrical film in which he received star billing. It used to be a TV staple, but its showings have become scarce over the last 15 years. As for Bo, he played the Monster to Robert Foxworth's Dr. Frankenstein in a two-part TV adaptation of Frankenstein (1973). And while Bo may not be a champion skier in real life, he has won several judo championships.

  1. Rick, I think my favorite Bo role is in North Dallas Forty playing a offensive lineman who has to protect QB Mack Davis. As for Clint, he has one of the all time best sight gags in Send Me No Flowers trying to get out of a Jaguar XKE rag top with the top still in place. Really like him in The Dirty Dozen . And Rick how could you forget Killdozer?

  2. I'm really glad you've added this "Bad Movie" feature. Am looking forward to more. :)

  3. Paul, KILLDOZER was mentioned last November in the comments to a review of DUEL. Silverscreenings, I hope this can become a fun feature. There are lot of less-than-stellar movies which are nonetheless entertaining in their fashion.

  4. Love this movie. The only thing better than a good yeti flick is a bad yeti flick

  5. I can't wait for more Bad Movie Theatre articles, Rick. Love that kind of stuff. To paraphrase Movie Waffler, the only thing better than a good flick is a bad flick -- how else could Mystery Science Theater 3000 have been such a success? That snowbeast does indeed look lame -- just a window peeper, huh? I laughed out loud at Grandma's remark -- she hit it on the head! Lots of fun -- keep 'em coming!

  6. I had a lot of fun reading this post about a different Bo and Clint than one might have thought. Great idea and fun post, Rick!

The best way to both combat and prevent this from occurring is to treat your pets with Nexgard or Frontline Plus once a month during the warmer months of the year. This will help keep those icky friends from taking residence on your pet, in your home and possibly on you!

Ticks: Dogs and cats who are most at risk for attracting all breeds of ticks are ones who spend time outside and in the mountains or forests. Their presence can be avoided by administering a topical preventative like Frontline Plus once a month during warmer times of the year.
