WUFPBK Resumption Date for Fresh & Returning Students 2020/2021 Session

This is to inform all fresh and returning students of Waziri Umaru Federal Polytechnic that the management of the institution is yet to announce the resumption date for fresh and returning students via the recently published academic calendar for the academic session.

According to the management, returning students shall resume after the New Year break. This is the norm practiced in most schools. This would give fresh students the needed time to bond register with ease knowing-fully that they (fresh students) are still new to the system.

The academic activities for the 2020/2021 academic session has been designed to run for a period of 4 months approximately. All academic and non-academic activities have been scheduled to take place within the three (3) to four (4) months period.

Bypass of Senescence After Disruption of p21CIP1/WAF1 Gene in Normal Diploid Human Fibroblasts

Most somatic cells die after a finite number of cell divisions, a phenomenon described as senescence. The p21CIP1/WAF1 gene encodes an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Inactivation of p21 by two sequential rounds of targeted homologous recombination was sufficient to bypass senescence in normal diploid human fibroblasts. At the checkpoint between the prereplicative phase of growth and the phase of chromosome replication, cells lacking p21 failed to arrest the cell cycle in response to DNA damage, but their apoptotic response and genomic stability were unaltered. These results establish the feasibility of using gene targeting for genetic studies of normal human cells.

Further budget analysis from Global Center

By on .

Yesterday we received more information about the budget proposal from President Obama.  There are some new details, such as his proposal to flat-fund US backing for the Global Fund.  His proposal does not add up, I am sorry to say, and it is not consistent with the Hyde-Lantos legislation the President co-sponsored last year.  Why […]

Very Long Baseline Array Discovers Orbital Motion in Pair of Supermassive Black Holes

Astronomers Detect Orbital Motion in Pair of Supermassive Black Holes

Using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a team of astronomers has made the first detection of orbital motion in a pair of supermassive black holes in a galaxy some 750 million light-years from Earth.

The two black holes, with a combined mass 15 billion times that of the Sun, are likely separated by only about 24 light-years, extremely close for such a system.

“This is the first pair of black holes to be seen as separate objects that are moving with respect to each other, and thus makes this the first black-hole ‘visual binary,’” said Greg Taylor, of the University of New Mexico (UNM).

Supermassive black holes, with millions or billions of times the mass of the Sun, reside at the cores of most galaxies. The presence of two such monsters at the center of a single galaxy means that the galaxy merged with another some time in the past. In such cases, the two black holes themselves may eventually merge in an event that would produce gravitational waves that ripple across the universe.

“We believe that the two supermassive black holes in this galaxy will merge,” said Karishma Bansal, a graduate student at UNM, adding that the merger will come at least millions of years in the future.

The galaxy, an elliptical galaxy called 0402+379, after its location in the sky, was first observed in 1995. It was studied in 2003 and 2005 with the VLBA. Based on finding two cores in the galaxy, instead of one, Taylor and his collaborators concluded in 2006 that it contained a pair of supermassive black holes.

The latest research, which Taylor and his colleagues are reporting in the Astrophysical Journal, incorporates new VLBA observations from 2009 and 2015, along with re-analysis of the earlier VLBA data. This work revealed motion of the two cores, confirming that the two black holes are orbiting each other. The scientists’ initial calculations indicate that they complete a single orbit in about 30,000 years.

“We need to continue observing this galaxy to improve our understanding of the orbit, and of the masses of the black holes,” Taylor said. “This pair of black holes offers us our first chance to study how such systems interact,” he added.

The astronomers also hope to discover other such systems. The galaxy mergers that bring two supermassive black holes close together are considered to be a common process in the universe, so astronomers expect that such binary pairs should be common.

“Now that we’ve been able to measure orbital motion in one such pair, we’re encouraged to seek other, similar pairs. We may find others that are easier to study,” Bansal said.

The VLBA, part of the Long Baseline Observatory, is a continent-wide radio telescope system using ten, 240-ton dish antennas distributed from Hawaii to St. Croix in the Caribbean. All ten antennas work together as a single telescope with the greatest resolving power available to astronomy. That extraordinary resolving power allows scientists to make extremely fine measurements of objects and motions in the sky, such as those done for the research on 0402+379.

Splashes Of Colour

11 Feb

demo 1

Here’s a new monotype based on an en plein air sketch I did a while back. I scribbled it into a sketchbook, a demo outside Swansea’s Waterfront Museum about the working conditions of lower-paid staff. I used tissue paper as chine collé to add splashes of colour. I’m doing a series of prints based on my sketches for an exhibition at Swansea’s Cinema & Co on International Women’s Day on March 8th. More about that tomorrow….

The Incident
Cyrus Martinez – 1998

Two Thursdays.  ago, my friend Zach went out and bought a gun, a Chinese SKS assault rifle.  On Monday of last week, Zach and I decided we would make a trip out to the shooting range on Albuquerque’s west side to see how well the rifle shot. Unfortunately, the  range is closed on Mondays.  Not wanting to have come all this wav for nothing, we continued, westward on an isolated road until we were about 40 miles out of the city. This was a secluded part of the country •without a sign of life in it. I drove along slowly as Zach loaded his gun. When he was ready, I came to a top; Zach stuck the rifle out the window of my car and shot at a tree stump about 25 yards away. When he had fired his last shot, we both got out of the car and switched places. Zach proceeded to drive the car in the same manner I had. Meanwhile, I loaded the SKS; when I was ready, the car came to a halt. As l stuck the rifle barrel out the window of my car, I spotted an empty Coke can about 15 yards away. I visualized the target carefully in the rifle’s sights, and as I eased the rifle’s safety off, my mind was flooded with memories. I was whisked hack to when I was seven years old, the summer after first grade.

My father worked during the summers, and I stayed at home with my mother, who is a school teacher and does not work summers. The day outside was overcast, so I •was sitting in the living room of my house watching The Dukes of Hazard.  I heard a door shut and looked up to sec my uncle Barney coming into the house. He said something to my mother then he came over to where I was sitting. ” vamos a un ride,” he said to me. I jumped out of my seat, eager to go for a ride with my uncle, whom I admired very, much. He had lived an eventful life, and I was always delighted when he took me anywhere. I loved to listen to him talk about his adventures. Something was different about my uncle that day.  Instead of the lively man I was used to seeing, he seemed distressed about something.

That summer, work crews had been laboring throughout our town, installing pipe for our community water line. In the process, they had torn up the dirt road on which my family lived. Although we had been told the road would be fixed following the set up of the pipeline, 1t had been two weeks and the road was still messed up. My uncle had already gotten into a fight with the foreman in charge of the construction over this.

As my uncle’s mint green 1967 Chevy truck pulled into town he caught sight of the foreman and his workers across the street on their lunch break. My uncle stopped his truck and turned it off.  He opened the glove compartment and took out a gun. He unholstered it and gave it to me, saying, ” Voy a hablar con este carbon. Si chinga conmigo, le metes un plomaso.”  Roughly translated, “I’m gonna go talk with this son of a bitch. If he fucks with me, pump him full of lead.” l simply nodded my head. l rolled down the window on the driver’s side and looked at the gun. The sun had begun to shine through the clouds and it made the gun give off a mysterious glint. The gun was a .22 caliber ingle action Colt revolver, a real cowboy gun. Because we lived in a rural community, my uncle made sure l learned how to shoot as soon as I was old enough to hold a gun. As a result, I was familiar with the operation of the pistol. I was thinking about how heavy the gun felt when I heard shouting. I looked up to see the tall, heavy-set foreman yelling at my uncle Barney. I stuck the gun out the window and cocked it.  The gun was too big for my hands, so I had to hold it in my right hand while I cocked it with my left. I pointed it right at the guy’s belly. Later, I learned, after the kneecap, the gut is the most painful place to be shot.  But at that moment, I did not know or care.  I was waiting for the foreman to do something, and if he did, I would let him have it. Suddenly, the yelling stopped.  My uncle turned around and came walking back to the truck.  He took the gun out of my hands, uncocked and reholstered it, and put it back in the glove compartment.  He got into the driver’s seat and drove off. As he drove, he turned to me, and said, “Ahora si, te creo hombre,” or “‘Now I know that you’re a man.”  Then he said, “Don’t go tell your mother about this.” I nodded my head in agreement.  To this day, I have never told my mother about the incident.

As l aimed the SKS last Monday, I remembered these events in full detail. I closed my left eye, concentrated on my target, and let the Coke can have it. It was my turn to drive again.  As I drove hack to Albuquerque, l reflected on that day so many years ago. I came to the conclusion that was the day on which l learned one of the most important lessons of my life. I learned the value of trust. My uncle trusted me to come to his aid should the need arise. He put his life in the hands of a seven-year-old boy, and trusted l would make sure nothing happened to him. I did not question my uncle that day. He gave me the gun and I took it from him, no questions asked. I know I would have shot the foreman had he done anything to endanger my uncle, and I am sure my uncle knew it, too. It all came down to one word, trust.

What the Internet Is Saying About Waldo Contacts

What the Internet Is Saying About Waldo Contacts

Almost two years since launch, we’ve been sparking conversation around the importance of making premium quality daily contact lenses affordable and hassle-free. And now, the internet has started talking.

While we’ve been busy opening the eyes of daily contact lens wearers everywhere, our blue boxes – featuring calming midnight blue colour tones and instantly recognisable branding – have been appearing in bathrooms, bedrooms and bags across the world (just over 125,000 boxes to be exact). And thousands of contact lens wearers can’t be wrong. Right?

Scroll down to read what the internet is saying about Waldo contact lenses.

“Meet Waldo, the luxury eye contacts you need in your life” – British GQ

“Offering premium quality lenses made affordable via a direct to consumer subscription process” – Forbes

“WHEN I first tried Waldo’s “vitamin enhanced” lenses, I thought they would be a gimmick – but they are brilliant. I have been prone to dry eyes in the past but these kept my peepers lubricated all day. These are all I use now.” – Fabulous Magazine

“Waldo is a revolutionary daily contact lens startup that takes clear, affordable vision directly to its customers in a fun and fashionable way.” – About Time Magazine

“Waldo provides the highest quality daily contact lenses, at a fraction of the cost of other brands out there” – Paul Harasymowycz, Head of Glaucoma Research Unit at the University of Montreal.

“I can finally see again. Ohhh thanks Waldo contacts!!” – Poppy Jamie (Founder of Pop and Suki)

“They could certainly teach a lot of other companies on how to achieve customer satisfaction! I would recommend their vitamin lenses for anyone who suffers from dry eyes – but whichever lenses you go for, their customer services is second to none.” – Nerina Foulsham

“Very comfortable lenses. I wear them from 9 in the morning until 11 at night. Love them.” – Judy Wilkins

“Easy to sign up, good communication from the Waldo team, stylish packaging and always delivered on time. Would definitely recommend.” – Rebecca

“Waldo’s lenses are comfortable, easy to put on and you don’t feel them during your day.” – Izabela

“Quick delivery and really comfortable fit” – Millie

“Really good cheap and quick service. Comfortable on the eyes too I’m a long haul flight attendant and these really don’t dry out my eyes.” – Carl

At Waldo, we’ve made it easy for you to feel the difference for yourself, by taking advantage of our free trial. That’s your first box free so you can experience the service and try the lenses yourself. It’s no commitment and hassle-free, you just pay the small postage fee and we’ll do the rest.

That’s right, it’s no secret – we offer a Free Trial to all new Waldo members.

Archive for July, 2012

“This one…” Mom slowly said, pointing carefully to the Easter decoration with her left hand while tightly holding onto the walker with her right. Dad reached over and added the colorful egg to the collection in his arms; mine were already full of rabbits.

It was July, and the Easter decorations were finally getting put away. Mom was home on a few hours break from the rehab center this sunny Saturday, and it bugged her that the Easter decorations were still up. Mom’s fall and traumatic head injury came just before Easter, and Dad had left everything where it was during Mom’s months of hospital and rehabilitation stay.  It was a good sign in Mom’s recovery that she could articulate she wanted the decorations put away.

Mom adjusted the helmet on her head. The bone wasn’t put back yet, so she still needed the protection. My sisters Tricia and Sue had come up with the idea of decorating the helmet.  Sue came in one day to the hospital and Bedazzled it with colorful plastic jewels. Mom was pleased with the compliments about her helmet that she got from the nursing and therapy staff and fellow rehab patients.

Dad and I were using the search for Easter decorations as part of Mom’s home therapy – a kind of “Where’s Waldo” game. It helped Mom to focus, as she tried to remember where she put the dozens of festive items she places around the house each Easter season.  Dad and I would fill our arms with items,  put them in the back room for temporary storage, then come back to Mom who would use the walker to move to the next room to show us more.

Mom standing and able to move around with a walker, speaking and reasoning: truly a miracle based on her injury.  It took her almost three agonizing weeks to briefly open her eyes after the brain surgery.  There were long weeks in the first hospital, three weeks of acute rehab in another, and still more weeks in the current rehabilitation facility. Each step in Mom’s recovery was a milestone, her progress amazing her doctors and nursing staff.

Mom says she doesn’t remember most of the first two months, but there was a determination in her even then to get better and back to her full capabilities before the fall. Prayers have been around the clock for Mom, and yes Dad and the family. These prayers are what hold us all up during the dark times and times of  joy, as Mom continues to recover.

Dad has been at Mom’s side every day during these past months. God in the Ordinary is showing through Dad in his offering of support and encouragement to Mom during the visits. And in turn, I can see God in Mom, as she supports Dad in her own way.

Mom’s recovery is looked at as a miracle. She understands that, too, and shares that this is very humbling. We don’t have any explanation, no logical reason, just very, very grateful hearts.

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in Castellón General Hospital (2001-2005)

S. Sabater Vidal ,  R. Moreno Muñoz

Objective. The aim of this study was to know the frequency of bacteremias produced by Staphylococcus aureus and the sensibility that strains showed, as well as the clinical characteristics of the patients.

Method. We retrospectively studied cases of S. aureus bacteremia detected in our hospital from 2001 to 2005 and also reviewed medical histories from patients during 2005.

Results. A total of 295 cases of S. aureus bacteremia were detected in this study. Annual distributions of the cases were as follows: 35, 54, 62, 64 and 80. By gender, 62.7 % related to males and 37.3 % to females. A total of 58.6 % of the patients were admitted to medical services and 49 % were older than 65 years. Regarding resistance, 34 % of the strains showed resistance to oxacillin, 33 % to ciprofloxacin, 41 % to erythromycin and 4.4 % to gentamicin. In one-third of the patients, S. aureus was isolated in other samples, the catheter being the most common. A total of the 73.5 % of the patients had some baseline disease and the most frequent predisposing factor was the intravascular catheter. The bacteremias were nosocomial-acquired in 73.5 % of the cases.

Conclusions. In our hospital, S. aureus bacteremia and oxacillin resistance has been increasing over the years of this study.

Key words: Staphylococcus aureus. Bacteremia. Oxacillin resistance. Catheter. Nosocomial.

Greo Belgers, director marketing at Triodos Bank (according to the Financial Times one of the most sustainable banks in the world), is not a typical banker. As founding partner of the much acclaimed advertising agency Dawn Amsterdam he proofed to be a creative thinker; keen to venture into terra incognita and blaze new trails. With Dawn he took conceptual thinking and design a step further into creative intelligence.

Prior to that he came up with innovative ideas during the pioneering days of the internet. He was involved in the launch of i-mode in the Netherlands and its mobile internet -application for Hallmark Inc. He is originally a maker of film and television programmes. He gave the Netherlands twelve years of evening television – pulp and brilliant programmes alike –, and co-produced the Oscar- and Emmy winning documentary Anne Frank Remembered for the BBC in the UK and the Disney Channel in the USA.

His interest in the psychological effect of culture, design and the media took him to Germany as a student, where he was involved in establishing the New Media in Mass Communications course at the University of Berlin. Nevertheless, he completed his studies in the Netherlands in the Art, Media & Technology faculty at the Utrecht School of the Arts. That was his second course of study on the back of what started as a course in chemistry.

Case study speaker

Case study

'How socially conscious organisations capture the hearts of the public and are relevant'

Can organisations nowadays just focus on being profitable and taking care of its customers? Or do organisations need to have a society-driven focus as well? Triodos Bank is an example in both fields, offering a valuable service to its customers and - with the help of those customer - being impactful for society. Is it possible to design services that combine the apparently both opposities? And are they opposites? Greo will explain how staying true to a mission and not implementing as a headless chicken the same old financial services delivers a strong foundation and emotional engagement with clients and upcoming generations.

Sponsorship Licence Applications

Experienced, Trusted, Cost-effective Legal Advice

If you are an employer hoping to employ a worker from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), you will need a sponsorship licence to demonstrate that your employee has a genuine job in the UK. A sponsor licence also shows that you, as the employer, accept the associated responsibilities of sponsorship.

The UK’s immigration rules place heavy demands on employers who want to bring skilled workers from overseas therefore having the support of an experienced team of business immigration lawyers can be vital in ensuring that your application is successful. At The Sethi Partnership Solicitors, we have a proven track record in helping employers across a broad range of sectors to successfully negotiate this process. Speak to a member of our team today to find out how we can help.

We can also advise on occupations listed on the shortage occupation lists.

Get in touch with us today on 0208 866 6464 or fill out our online enquiry form.

Licences are granted for four years, therefore during the application process you will need to be clear about your recruitment needs so that your licence provides appropriate cover for its duration. As part of your application, you will be required to specify what type of workers you are aiming to recruit. This will be either:

  • Tier 2 workers – skilled workers with offers of long-term employment
  • Tier 5 workers – skilled workers employed on a temporary basis

Tier 2 Visas are the primary route for skilled workers to enter the UK, enabling individuals to undertake long-term employment or transfer to a UK company from one based overseas. There are a range of Tier 2 Visas,  and depending on the type some can lead to settlement

  • General Workers Visas
  • Intra-Company Visas
  • Sportsperson Visas
  • Minister of Religion Visas

Employers must hold a sponsorship licence, in addition to applicants satisfying immigration criteria, English language and maintenance requirements.

Tier 5 Visas enable individuals from outside the EEA to live and work in the UK for up to 12 or 24 months. They cover a range of different types of employment that satisfy cultural, charitable, religious or international objectives. Tier 5 Visas include:

  • Charity worker Visas
  • Creative and Sporting Visas
  • Governmental Authorised Exchange Visas
  • International Agreement Visas
  • Religious Worker Visas

As an employer, you will have to provide a certificate of sponsorship, including information about the role that your employee will be performing.

Educational institutions hoping to enrol students from overseas are required to hold a Tier 4 sponsor licence. This enables holders to sponsor international students to study full time at their institution but also places specific responsibilities on those institutions in respect of their prospective students. This includes ensuring that students are eligible to apply to study in the UK and demonstrating that the institution genuinely wishes to teach them. The immigration lawyers at The Sethi Partnership Solicitors can provide comprehensive legal advice for educational institutions on the sponsorship licence application process, as well as associated responsibilities and obligations.

Contact our Sponsorship Licence Applications solicitors in London & Ruislip, Middlesex

To discuss applying for a sponsor licence, speak to one of our immigration solicitors today by calling 0208 866 6464 or complete our online enquiry form.

Founded in 1972, the San Francisco Art Dealers Association (SFADA) seeks to promote the highest standards of connoisseurship, scholarship and ethical practice within the gallery community.

SFADA contributes to the advancement of fine art in the San Francisco Bay Area by investing in the professional development of its members and forging relationships with both public and private organizations. Our members’ exhibitions and collections feature a range of works across media from the historic to the contemporary, including sculpture, painting, works on paper, textiles, video, film and installations. We present work by emerging and midcareer artists as well as early, modern and contemporary masters. Membership is by invitation only.

“If it seems to you that the gallery scene in the Bay Area has picked up in the past 18 months or so, I think you’re right. One reason for that, surely, is the launch of new and expanded efforts meant to take advantage of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s reopening. . . .  But it’s not just the sense of expanding gallery square footage. There is an increasing willingness among gallerists to make financial gambles on art that itself embraces risk. That’s growth of the best kind.  My job is to focus on ideas and images. But it stands to reason that if there’s no market for challenging art, there will be fewer opportunities to engage with it outside museums and other nonprofits — which have their own limitations. That’s why I have great respect for how the galleries here have newly committed to work more collaboratively, and to educate themselves and each other on best practices in the field.  The vehicle they have employed is a reinvigorated San Francisco Art Dealers Association, founded in 1972 and now with a membership of 51 galleries, plus eight retired associates. Among other trade organization-type activities, they’ve held discussions on such subjects as “how to strategize about art fairs” and “how to work with museums,” and mounted a two-day law and art business forum.”

How to use the Kick Counter on theAsianparent App

How to use the Kick Counter on theAsianparent App

Here at theAsianparent we will help you to know how important kick counts during in pregnancy is. By simply counting the kicks of your baby will have a big difference.

Here at theAsianparent, we aim to make your pregnancy and parenting journey happy, memorable and most importantly, healthy. With this in mind, every bit of information on our website, every tool on our app that we bring you, will guide, educate and inform you so that you and your little one can stay in the pink of health.

One such tool is the Kick Counter on theAsianparent app. For pregnant women to have healthy pregnancies, it is of utmost importance that they learn when to start counting kicks and how to monitor and record their baby’s movements in the womb, starting from early in the third trimester (around week 27). And the Kick Counter helps you do exactly this.

When to start counting kicks?

Why is it important to start counting kicks and why do it? Because understanding your baby’s unique movement pattern will ensure that you know that he or she is okay. Once you know how many kicks your little one typically engages in within an hour or during the day, you will also know when your baby deviates from this pattern.

Often, when a baby’s movements in the womb reduce, change or stop, it could indicate an issue. In some cases when this happens, stillbirth could be the devastating outcome.

Simply put, knowing your baby’s kick pattern and knowing when this changes could help reduce the chances of stillbirth.

Why the Kick Counter?

The reason theAsianparent created this tool is that we realised that stillbirth is a real problem in Southeast Asia (SEA). About 105,000 babies were lost in stillbirths in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam in 2015 alone. That means every day that year, an average of 287 families received the devastating news of full-term pregnancy loss. However, one-third of these losses could have been prevented — and one way of prevention is counting your baby’s kicks or movements.

With the aim of reducing pregnancy loss in Southeast Asia through education and awareness, theAsianparent launched Project Sidekicks. And in line with this cause, we launched our Kick Counter.

Experts say that the normal movement of a baby inside the womb is approximately 10 times an hour. The Kick Counter not only helps you track your baby’s kicks but also record them so that you can detect if there is a change in the pattern or no movement at all. This enables you to seek medical advice, and if needed — intervention — quickly.

Kick Counter Tool: How to use it

You will find the Kick Counter in the “Tools” section of theAsianparent app.

This part is usually a fun guessing game!

Continue recording the kicks over one hour, or 60 minutes. The best time to do this is right after eating as this is usually when babies are most active.

You can even set up reminders for yourself to make sure that you count your kicks every day!

Try to set your alarms to when meal times are.

There are daily, weekly and monthly reports of your activity so you can keep up easily with the health of your pregnancy this way. This will help you monitor and overview the kicks of your baby.

How to use the Kick Counter on theAsianparent App

Kick counts in pregnancy and how important it is.

Kick counts in pregnancy also create bonding opportunities between you and your unborn baby, and between your partner and your developing baby too. Or if you already have a child, it’s a great activity to introduce him or her to his/her sibling, and engage in bonding.

The reports that are generated when you use the Kick Counter are useful, as you can show these to your doctor during checkups.

Our kick counter is not the only feature in our app. There are plenty of other tools that help pregnant women, moms, and dads in raising their kids, like the Pregnancy and Baby Development Trackers, the Media Module, and the Recipe Feature. We also have a wonderfully supportive community of parents, prizes and rewards to win, and much more.

HHS Business Associates Agreements

HHS Business Associates Agreements

By David Briggs

For many dental practices, the fact that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued new regulations earlier this year related the HITECH Act went completely unnoticed. These rules came in addition to a litany of tighter privacy and security requirements, including new rules on when you have to alert patients about a breach of their privacy. HHS’s new rules force covered entities, including dental practices, to focus on ensuring that their “business associates” are keeping PHI private.

Who Are Business Associates?

The new rules increase the importance of understanding which of your contractors are “business associates”. Under the HITECH Act, a business associate is any person (individual or entity) who helps a covered entity with a function or activity involving the use of personal health information. A business associate can include an outside contractor doing processing or administration, data analysis, practice management, accounting, consulting, data aggregation management, and legal services. Employees of a practice are not considered business associates. Because the definition has been very technical, some practices decided that they would rather call all contractors “business associates” rather than review how to properly label the contractor. However, because covered entities face liability for breaches caused by their business associates, entities that want to reduce their exposure need to be more careful in defining (and — if possible — limit) who is a business associate.

Requirements of Business Associates

In the past, business associate agreements commonly focused on liability issues, including agreements from the business associate to indemnify the covered entity from any liability in the event of a breach of a patient’s privacy. The new regulations emphasize that contracts with business associates must discuss privacy obligations not only for the business associate, but any subcontractor. The regulations go so far as to require that business associates (and subcontractors) not only report when there has been an actual breach of privacy, but they must also report any unsuccessful attempt to gain access to PHI. In updating your business associate agreements, covered entities should still include provisions about indemnification, but also you must pay careful attention to the privacy obligations called out in the new regulations. Among other elements, your contracts must now require your business associates to:

  • Use appropriate precautions to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI;
  • Report to the covered entity when PHI has been used outside the terms granted or where there has been a breach of unsecured PHI;
  • Conduct a risk assessment to determine whether a breach of a patient’s privacy has occurred;
  • Comply with individual requests for copies of PHI;
  • Destroy or return all PHI received from or created on behalf of a covered entity when feasible;
  • Ensure that any subcontractors that will receive access to PHI will agree to the same restrictions that apply to the business associate regarding PHI;
  • Restrict their ability to sell and use PHI for marketing purposes; and
  • Authorize the covered entity to terminate the contract if the business associate violates the material terms of it.

Until January of this year, a covered entity was not liable for the breaches of a business associate if the entity had a compliant business associate contract in place and complied with HIPAA’s requirements concerning acting on known contract breaches by the business associate. The new regulations eliminate that safe harbor. Now, once a business associate is determined to be an agent of the covered entity, the entity will be liable for all HIPAA violations, not only of the business associate, but any of the business associates’ subcontractors.

Consequence of a Breach By a Business Associate

While covered entities are not required to monitor a business associate’s HIPAA compliance, covered entities are required to take action if it has substantial and credible evidence of a violation of HIPAA privacy requirements. Once a covered entity has that knowledge, it must take reasonable steps to cure the breach or end the violation. If those steps are not successful, the covered entity must terminate the contract with the business associate.

Deadline For Compliance

The updated rules generally go into effect on September 23, 2013. That means that all of your business associate agreements must be updated by that date, with one exception. If a covered entity has a long-term relationship with a business associate, it has up to one year to enter into a new and compliant agreement if the covered entity had entered into the agreement before January 25, 2013. For those long-term relationships, covered entities must have their agreements updated by September 22, 2014 or the date the contract is renewed or modified, whichever date comes first. If you are currently going to enter into a new business associate agreement, covered entities are well advised to update those agreements now, rather than having to revisit those agreements in September.

Heya :)

Due to my brother going off to college, and taking the laptop that I usually use to connect to the internet with him, I'm going to be slightly AWOL.

The library computers that I can use sometimes let me check journals, but that will mostly be at weekends. I will also have no AIM access.

I would love to RP with people via email though, at

Family History Field Trip

I spent this weekend in Dundee. The main purpose of the trip was not family history but since we were there anyway it was much too good an opportunity to miss. I don’t have strong family connections to Dundee in that none of my family were born or raised there but it is in Dundee, or Lochee to be precise, where my great grandparents, Patrick Cosgrove and Sarah Helferty met and were married.

The marriage record shows that Sarah was a jute mill worker. Living in Whorterbank means she would have been employed by the Camperdown Works. To find out more about the lives of the mill workers we visited Verdant Works which is a wonderful museum set in a former jute mill. You can click on the link to find out more about the museum and I would highly recommend a visit. We were lucky to meet Lily, a former mill worker who at 80 is now a museum volunteer. She told us stories of her days in the jute mills and the conditions she experienced. She showed us the machines that were used and when she got the machines working we briefly experienced the noise that my great granny would have endured maybe ten hours a day.

Patrick and Sarah were married in St Mary’s Chapel, Lochee in 1888 and I was delighted to discover that St Mary’s was built in the 1860s and still exists! I should have planned ahead but I wasn’t sure we’d make it to Lochee as I hadn’t realised how close it is to the centre of Dundee. We decided to go and take a look and maybe get some photos of the exterior of the building.

Mass had been celebrated earlier in the day and the church was locked up but when we were wandering round we met a lady in the car park who asked if we were lost. We told her why we were there and she said that the church is indeed locked out with Mass times but that the parish priest was at home and might let us have a look. So we knocked on the door and were warmly welcomed by Father Cassidy who was happy to show us this beautiful church and tell us a bit of the history of the parish and the local area.

The mill, the church and the street where Sarah and Patrick were living are all within minutes of each other. The area then was known as Tipperary or Tip due to the amount of Irish immigrants living there. Sarah was born in Glasgow but of Irish parents and would have considered herself Irish. Patrick was from County Longford.

Father Cassidy was happy to let us take some photographs. The altar is not exactly the same and would have had a wooden altar rail but it is easy to imagine how it would have been when Patrick and Sarah made their vows.

Isn’t it beautiful? I found it quite moving to be in the exact spot my ancestors stood over 130 years ago.

The exterior of the building has changed over the years and Father Cassidy explained that the central doors are a newer addition and it would have been through the door to the right that the bride and groom would have entered the church.

The mill no longer exists but “The Stack” is still a famous landmark in the area. Cox’s Stack is a 282 feet (85m) chimney that formed part of Camperdown Works owned by the Cox brothers. It was built in 1866. The mill employed over 5000 workers at it’s peak.

The Stack is an impressive sight and one that my great grandparents would have known well. It was great to feel that connection.

  1. Hi Paula….. I knew there had been a Dundee (or Lochee) connection somewhere along the line, or had heard references to it. I
    Great work once again as always.

Memories of Love

Memories of Love

 Now that we have waited for this very special day

We can’t help but to consider memories –

Those times that we remember that have taught us how to love,

Those times which often brought us to our knees.

I remember on that first day when I looked into your eyes

And I wondered if that sparkle might mean love.

I could feel myself get flustered when I thought about your smile

But I wasn’t sure exactly what it was.

And I remember two weeks later when I tried to hold your hand

But I wasn’t sure the time was right to act.

You can’t imagine how much faster my heart began to beat

When I squeezed your hand then felt your hand squeeze back.

And oh how I remember the first night that we kissed

When that minstrel played that melody for us.

We had wined and dined for hours on ice cream and beignets.

And yet it seemed that we would never eat enough.

(So we ate until our bellies nearly bust).

Now those were the beginnings when our love was being made

Though we really didn’t know what love could be.

Somehow we were prepared for those rocky roads ahead

And now that brings back other memories.

What about the first trip you made back to New Orleans

When it seemed that we had only grown confused;

Yet when you left we realized that if love was to last

It would have to be a love that was pursued.

Do you remember all those times that year  we had to say goodbye

And I wasn’t sure that I could handle all your tears;

They made me want to smile since they were prompted by your love

Yet I could sense your face was often wet with fears.

And then there at the beach when we almost let love go

That was the first time that you ever saw me cry.

But now when I think back to the prayers I prayed that night

I realize that’s the night that love survived.

When you went off to school that Fall I knew I had to follow

So our love might finally have a chance to grow.

I spent three months in Raleigh getting turned down for a job,

But I learned some things I thought I’d always known.

And now we come to Christmas when our love fell into place,

But I remember those two times I almost choked.

I was nervous when I asked you if you’d like to wear that ring

But I was really nervous when I asked your folks.

Then I went off to Boston and you stayed here at home

But we both knew that we had to take that chance;

And when it all was over and we both were home to stay

We knew our love was much more than romance.

So now we stand before the alter and I take your hand in mine

And we begin our life together in God’s will.

We have a lot of hopes and we have a lot of dreams

But we know there’s nothing love cannot fulfill.

So now that we have waited for this very special day

We can’t help but to consider memories.

Yesterday is not forgotten, but tomorrow is our hope

As we look forward now to all that love will be.

We all know African Black Soap is a winner when it comes to fighting skin conditions like acne and dark spots. But did you know you can also use it to do things like clarify your hair, remove deodorant build-up from your clothes, and even get out old, dried blood?

I have been experimenting with this miracle soap for some time now, and have come to the conclusion that African Black Soap is something every household should have on hand due to its many uses.

I was hand-washing a number of my daughter’s delicate garments the other day, when I came across the usual problems we have with her shirts: white deodorant stains that are nearly impossible to get out. In front of me at the sink was a bar of African Black Soap, and so, I decided to give it a try. Sure enough, with little to no effort, I massaged the soap over the stain, and it dissolved the deodorant in seconds… no scrubbing needed.

A few months back I came across more of my daughter’s clothes, this time with old dried blood. As always, I grabbed the African Black Soap that was nearby and hoped for the best. To my utter amazement, the soap easily got out the dried blood, and a very expensive pair of unmentionables were saved from the garbage heap.

Likewise, I have also noticed that any type of build-up, whether on the hair or skin, will easily be dissolved by using African Black Soap. If your hair feels limp from years of using heavy butters and pomades, you may need to clarify, using African Black Soap as your shampoo. The same goes for your skin, if it looks dull or you’ve noticed the area under your arms feels coated or looks ashen, you probably have deodorant build-up and should cleanse with African Black Soap and a Salux Exfoliating Cloth.

We sell this marvel in two sizes, one 8 ounces and the other 16. For ease of use in bathing and shampooing, we naturally recommend the easy-to-hold, 8-ounce oval bar. But for bigger jobs around the house, like laundry, we suggest the large 16-ounce size. Both sizes are pretty long-lasting, so long as you do not leave them sitting in water. ABS melts easily, so make sure you always store it in its own soap dish, preferably one that allows water to leak through the bottom.

And don't forget, if ABS is used on the hair or skin it should always be followed-up with an intensive moisturizer, like our popular 'My Everything Cream.'

  • Thought I was the only one who’d tried brushing their teeth with african black soap. It’s crazy the stuff we do with this soap. I love it to death. Hope you sell it in liquid form soon. I love it for shampooing my hair. I add avocado oil, coconut oil and glycerine. It’s a shampoo and conditioner in one.

  • Black soap is so good for the horrible itching I get from eczema. Its been a lifesaver. Not a complete cure, but a relief.

  • I’m not about to use my good soap on somebody’s dirty socks.

  • It’s great for psoriasis too. I use it about every other day and love the stuff.

  • I don’t care how gross it sounds, but yeah, ABS does get out old, dried up period blood. ☺

That was then

Steve Goes admits he did not see it coming.

The Sheboygan Legion Post 83 baseball manager said winning the Class AAA State Championship for the first time was not a goal at the start of last season, and he had higher expectations in previous years.

Then on July 2, Sheboygan’s record was 11-13.

The team, however, went 18-6 the rest of the way, capped by a 5-2 victory over Eau Claire in the state final after losing to them, 10-0, earlier in the day in the double-elimination tournament.

Sheboygan finished 29-19 and won state after never finishing higher than third place in the tourney.

“I remember sitting at the 2017 state tournament up in Kimberly with my son,” Goes said. “We watched a couple of games and I remember thinking to myself ‘we are so far away from contending.’ because we had finished right around .500 in 2017.

“Even the first part of last summer, we made a lot of mental mistakes and we got blown out quite a bit, too. Now granted, we were playing some good teams. But two days in a row we lost to two teams that I’d never lost to before. Little by little, we started to put it together.”

It was the second trip to state in the last three seasons for Sheboygan, and what stood out most for the manager was how everybody bought into a common goal.

“After we upset the No. 1-ranked team in the state in De Pere in the first game of the regional tournament, we really felt that we had a shot,” Goes said. “Everybody was after the same goal. There was no selfishness. There were not guys on the end of the bench saying ‘I should be playing.’ We had no issues, player-wise.”

So much so, Goes said on the way home from the national tournament – Sheboygan was 2-2 – he told himself to use this team as a model for every other one he coaches, forever.

“They felt they could go out and beat anybody on any day,” Goes said. “They were never intimidated. We’d go over scouting reports on other teams and guys would be like: ‘screw it, let’s just go beat them.’ It was that kind of mind set.”

This is now

Screen Shot 2019-06-04 at 8.59.36 AMAny team that wins its first championship also gets a chance to do something new the following season: defend its title.

It’s your turn, Sheboygan Legion Post 83 legion baseball team.

Sheboygan opens the 2019 season on Wednesday as the reigning Wisconsin Class AAA State Champion after never finishing higher than third place in its history.

As a result, manager Steve Goes is asking his squad to stay in the moment and take every game seriously.

“We’re going to take everybody’s best shot,” he said. “And we need to be ready for it every night. A lot of teams we’re playing, that’s going to be their regular-season World Series. And the schedule I created this year is far and away the most challenging schedule. We’re playing a ton of good teams.

“We’re going to have to be ready each and every night.”

After finishing 29-19 last season, including a 2-2 record in the Great Lakes Regional, Sheboygan has to replace its No. 2 pitcher and three positional players.

The team’s most valuable player, North’s Brent Widder (a University of Evansville recruit) is among five of the first seven batters in the lineup that returns from last year.

No. 1 pitcher Nick Akstulewicz, as well as Ethan Scherg and Nathan Hendrikse are also back, and Goes calls his staff the deepest he’s had in seven years.

Sheboygan has also added at least four key players, including North’s Jacob Neese. Plymouth’s Aiden Reilly and Cooper Gosse join him, as well as Cedar Grove’s Bradley Katte.

“On paper, we have as much talent or more talent than we did last year,” Goes said. “We have more depth than we did last year. … We have some interchangeable parts.”
