The John Pounds Society endorse Mike’s new song about the life of John Pounds

The Society endorse Mike’s new song about John Pounds. Janet Ayers of the Society says “Mike’s song brings a fresh feel to this 200 year old story, communicating John’s struggle living with disability and the plight of the poor children in Portsmouth who he did so much to help. By doing so reminds us that it is every child’s birthright to have an education. A message that is still relevant today. Mike’s folk style invokes the sound of folk music in John Pounds’ day and brings it into the 21st Century with a passionate melody and great performance”.

I don’t want to be pessimistic

But this could be the most catastrophic application of Hultgreen-Curie Syndrome in human history:

Scientists managed to capture the very first direct image of a black hole – and it was all thanks to a graduate at MIT. Three years ago Dr. Katie Bouman, now 29, created an algorithm that collects data from telescopes across the world to stitch together a photograph of the phenomenon which is 55million light years away.

Her work, which essentially turned Earth into a virtual telescope, has been praised across the political spectrum by First Daughter Ivanka Trump, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and by A-listers including Sophia Bush and Olivia Munn.

Without her groundbreaking work, the supermassive black hole would be simply impossible to capture because it would need a 10,000-kilometer wide telescope dish to even attempt it. The largest telescope dish in the world currently is just a 1,000ft in diameter.

It’s a magnificent scientific achievement, no doubt about it. But it’s a first, a very big first, and that’s precisely what makes me nervous about the whole thing.

The Fish and the Mermaid

The Fish and the Mermaid
by Samuel Sanders

Fish and Mermaid

Its great dumb gaze trawls the gloaming depths, the language of the merhead bubbling effluent from its gaping mouth. The mistake, lodged in its mouth, has grown like coral through the contours of its body. The greed of gluttony, a single, futile delicacy repaid with an lifetime of execrable monotony.

They have adapted, of course, for the sea welcomes those who adjust to change. But they never forgot. The unwary mermaid, dallying in the anemone beds where the piscine giants churn the waters. Indeed, absorbed with the antics of clownfish within the sweet-smelling poison blooms, she doesn't see a glittering eye rise like a baleful sea moon, doesn't feel the sucking current until it is too late, swimming, swimming, no, thrashing, horror leaking dry tears from almond eyes. It swallows, her golden hair sweeping forward like the tentacles of the anemone to wreath the beast's mouth.

Its stomach has eaten away her fins, and as she ages she has pressed its laboring gills closed. Trapped in this hateful symbiosis, they will die together when the day comes. The elaborate cuisine of the merpeople and the sweeping movements of their nautilus ballroom are but a dream for the mermaid who is mindlessly propelled through the depths, resigned to opening and closing her mouth for random bits of sustenance. She has but one consolation.

She sings to herself, to all that would hear.

Sam Sanders hails from Olathe, Kansas where he tries to write while maintaining a living by mindless drudgery. His writing, often tinged with a strong science-fiction and surrealist tang, tries to incorporate something from every genre. You can visit his blog.

What do you think is the attraction of the fantasy genre?

The rules one doesn't have to follow. In literature, you are committed to authenticate every aspect of the story, to make it as realistically believable as possible. In fantasy, you define the rules within your worlds. The reader automatically surrenders the mechanism that nitpicks at details when approached with such a story and is more willing to suspend judgment.

The Throne, Restored

The Throne, Restored
A response to Juel’s oil on canvas, Pharao of the Mountains
by Shelly Bryant

from Himalayan peaks
a desert watched

an ankh-shaped shadow
from a dangling earring
wavers in the midday glare

beneath dark horns
on a sun-blanched skull
a black eye opens
and surveys its surroundings

high on the mountain
in a distant land
the hermit retreats to his cave

stroking the cold surface
of his porcelain vessel
he whispers, at long last
the time has come

he chants in a tongue
long unheard on the earth
from beneath his feet
at the mountain’s root
a slow rumble of response
rises to hail him

a breeze blows down the slope
gathering momentum
in minutes
a sandstorm wracks the desert

newly formed flesh
grows from the chin
spreading over bleached face bones

tongue and lips, remade
take up the chant
the ground opens
the mountain starts to sink
the sky is rent
and the hermit starts to laugh
     ever so softly

What inspires you to write and keep writing?

Writing has always been easier for me that speaking, less fraught with shyness and awkwardness. When writing, I feel free to be myself, and also enjoy the structure that the conventions of good writing provide. Even on the days when writing is frustrating, I find comfort there. It is a place of quiet that can soothe the heart and mind, even as it is a place that can excite and thrill. I suppose, for me, writing is where I am most at home.
Shelly's poetry has appeared in journals, magazines, and websites around the world, as well as in several art exhibitions, including dark 'til dawn, Things Disappear, and Studio White • Exhibition 2011.  You can visit her website at

It's Four Months Already

Pictures by Fernando Prasetyo

FOUR MONTHS. Wow! Time goes by... I still got the morning sickness, but so much better than before. I find it easier to eat, but harder to find dress. Some parts of me are getting bigger. Ha-ha! You can slightly see the baby bump. I can't wait to hug my baby! >.<

Anyway, it's kind of hard to choose gifts from sponsors, because I have to look for outer or all size clothing. However, I still love the choosing process, I'm still a girl! LoL.

When choosing this Sheinside denim top, I thought of two ways to wear it - as a top or outer. Luckily, it fits me perfectly and still has a lot of spaces left. I can wear it so many times until I get so much bigger! :D The material is super comfy for pregnant me. :)

I combined the top with my favorite dress from Gowigasa. I have to search my wardrobe to find big dress that could fit my upper part. Luckily, I found this old dress of mine! Super cute dress with scallop cutting.

And for picture time... I wore my old colorful platform boots. Gosh! I miss those heels. Nowadays, I always become the shortest in my group of friends. No heels for pregnant mama :D

Agusta Westland
Concept, 2014
The basic concept of this proposal is that of seeking to create a familiar and contained area in order to give the impression that one is entering a protected space which is another dimension, inside a bubble that is floating in the air.
By utilizing light as a fundamental characteristic of the environment, we have attempted to make it possible to create different atmospheres in accordance with the type of flight which one wishes to undertake, whether it be during the day or at night. Light is employed in a diffused manner, which helps to give the impression that the space is larger than it really is.
The cabin space has been conceived so as to be accommodating and comfortable. It is characterized by the use of large seats that are of generous proportions. We have tried to apply the standards of living at home to the interior of the craft. The space is thought of as being extremely flexible so that the seating composition can be changed in order to give the passenger the possibility of freely experiencing the cabin. In this way one can choose what kind of trip one wants to make, whether it be a business trip with a rigorous and formal arrangement or a more relaxed and family oriented excursion with the seating corresponding to a living room.

Elton John To Rock Pompeii's Ancient Theatre

Elton John is set to perform in an ancient Roman amphitheatre in the historic Italian town Pompeii.

The Rocket Man singer is embarking on a world tour to promote his new album Wonderful Crazy Night and will make a stop in the unique town, which was famously buried under ash when the Mount Vesuvius volcano erupted in 79 AD.

Elton, 68, will play at the popular archaeological site and tourist destination on 12 July, but it is not known if he will be performing at the Large Theatre or the Amphitheatre of Pompeii, the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre.

The latter, where gladiators once did battle, was famously used in Pink Floyd's 1972 concert documentary Live in Pompeii. They performed a concert over four days without an audience.

Elton's tour date was advertised online by his Italian promoter D'Alessandro e Galli, who describes the town as the "most evocative setting”

Morris students get past of job, life skills

MORRIS – If you’re on a job interview, there are a few rules you should follow. Dress appropriately in dress pants, button-up shirt and tie; have a good firm handshake; make good eye contact; and don’t ask your interviewer to dinner.

On Tuesday, after a morning of state testing, freshmen and sophomores at Morris Community High School had a day of learning other life skills beyond reading, writing and arithmetic.

“It’s a chance for students to get real-life experience,” Principal Kelly Hussey said.

Because testing took up the morning, it shortened the day for classes, he said. With the career day activities, students were able to learn without shortened academic lessons.

In the auditorium, teacher Ben Brown gave a presentation to freshman on how to dress and act at a job interview. Students practiced proper posture, how to shake hands and how to dress for an interview. For example, they learned about matching their belt, shoes and pants.

Two pairs of students on stage acted out the right and wrong ways to go about finding a job in the mode of Goofus and Gallant: one wore pajama pants, the other dress slacks. One had a limp handshake, the other firm. One asked his interviewer on a date, the other discussed the job he was interviewing for.

“Don’t ask your interviewer out to dinner,” Brown said after the students in the auditorium laughed.

In the Field House, social science teacher Keith Anderson had resurrected an old program: the Reality Store. Students chose a profession, told what their income was, and then had to find a way to manage their budget while purchasing the necessities – insurance, real estate, cellphones.

Matt Seidel, a coach at the school was also at the store representing Country Financial. He said it was a great program for the students.

“Reality is a tough thing to deal with,” he said. He said he was happy to help the kids learn about the program.

Anderson said he had gone through the program when he was a student at MCHS, but that it had fallen away since. He said this was the first year they were doing it more than 10 years.

“This is a great opportunity,” he said “This is a great way to see what real life is like month to month.”

Other programs on that day included college presenters and a visit from a workforce development group from Joliet Junior College.

Juniors took their tests in the morning, Hussey said, but were not in school afterward. Seniors did not attend school on Tuesday. Both groups of students were encouraged to use the time to prepare for college or career after high school.

10 myths about radiology

Hello MiM community,

It has been awhile since my last blog post. I graduated residency in June and I am currently in month 3 (where has the time gone?) of my breast imaging fellowship. I stayed in the same institution as residency for fellowship. My little C is less than 4 months shy of being 4 (!!). Big C finished his orthopedic spine fellowship on the east coast in July and after a nice 5 weeks of having a stay at home husband, he started his attending job in a city 2 hours from me and little C last month. It has been a busy summer!

I am currently surrounded by medical students applying to residency, which made me want to do this post. And now that I'm a PGY 6 in my radiology training, I think I feel somewhat equipped to dispel some myths about my specialty and I thought it would be a good opportunity to go into the medicine aspect of my life since most of my posts have been about my role as a mom.

1. We are anti-social. A huge part of our job is communication not just with patients but with other physicians. We talk to physicians from all specialties throughout the day. We often present at multidisciplinary tumor boards. I can't speak for all radiologists but the ones I work with and myself included, we are very extroverted and approachable!

2. We never see patients. This may be true if you decide to go into teleradiology post residency. However, during residency, we see patients all the time--whether it be giving results, scanning patients or performing image-guided procedures. As a breast imaging fellow, I spend half my fellowship doing mammographic-guided, ultrasound-guided or MRI-guided biopsies/localizations. In addition, we often have to speak to patients to relay biopsy results. There is the option to not see patients but this will not be the case during residency and the choice is always there for patient interaction post training.

3. We are lazy. Being married to an orthopedic surgery resident, I have the utmost respect for these grueling specialties. We may not wake up the hours of other specialties but we are definitely not lazy. The time we spend having to study plus the time we spend at the hospital would often sum up to 60-80 hours of week during the earlier years of our residency. In addition, our residency is 5 years plus an extra year of fellowship (which is typically not an option as everyone does a fellowship post residency.) Our radiology boards are 2 days--that includes 18 subsections including physics! The amount of reading on top of working in the reading room equals so many hours that we put in outside of work that most people don't realize.

= 4. We love sitting in a dark room all day, every day by ourselves. This is definitely not true especially during residency. Radiology is a unique residency in that we are often one on one with an attending all day, working together and learning from him or her. In fact, this also debunks the fact that we are anti-social as we need to learn to interact and get along with someone we work with all day. In addition, our dark rooms are often frequented by visitors usually in form of clinical teams and occasionally patients.

5. The job market is horrible and no one can get a job. The job market may not be what it was in the past but there's always a supply and demand when it comes to medical imaging. As the reliance on medical imaging only continues to grow with the increase in number of CT and MRI scanners, the job market for radiologists will always be open. As someone who is only looking for a job in one city (one that is super competitive I might add), I have been surprised at the number of listings as well as the number of responses as a fellow in only month 3 of fellowship. In addition, I have only just begun my job search (literally 2 weeks ago).

6. Radiology is boring. I may be biased but I find radiology incredibly interesting. We see different pathologies across specialties on a daily basis. We often get to make the diagnosis and provide a differential. We are not involved in the treatment but for me at least, coming up with the diagnosis is the most satisfying part of my job as a physician. In addition, it is a field that is constantly changing as technology evolves. Imaging utilization only continues to grow and different applications of imaging for both diagnosis and treatment are constantly being researched and incorporated into our specialty.

7. Women should stay away from radiology because it will fry our ovaries. I was pregnant my first year of residency. I have a perfectly normal, adorable daughter. Yes, to be completely honest, radiation can affect a woman's reproductive capabilities but you would need direct radiation to the pelvic area and the amount of radiation would have to in the amount that is used for radiation therapy in oncology treatment. Therapeutic doses are often 1000X more than diagnostic doses (even a CT). Furthermore, as a radiologist, we are shielded from significant radiation doses with the use of radiation equipment and radiation protection practice shields (lead, lead glasses).

8. Radiology as a profession is useless because physicians can interpret their own films. Physicians across all specialties order medical imaging and it should be their responsibility to look at the images they order. However, a formal interpretation by someone who trained in this field for 6 years is completely different. There are many times that the ordering physician has more clinical information that helps in the interpretation of the study. However, when it comes to interpreting the study as a whole that is what we are trained to do--we look to see if its an adequate from a technical point (are there any artifacts on the study? is there too much patient motion?), we look at the entire study (for example, CT abdomen/pelvis is ordered for belly pain and on the few slices of the lung bases, we find a pulmonary emboli), we decide on how to make image quality better (do we need to increase the field of view? what should the slice thickness of the images be?) and lastly, we often decide if the correct study is ordered for the right indication while minimizing radiation dose to the patient (does the study need to be done with contrast? can we do an MRI rather than a CT in a pediatric patient? what study should we order in pregnant patient?)

9. We make too much money for what we do. I can't speak for all specialties except my own but I find it unsettling when I hear this about radiologists. We put in our time with our 6 years of training. We take our boards. We have written reports that cannot be disputed--if we miss something, it is evident that we missed something. Just like any other specialty, we are learning a valuable skill set that helps our colleagues and patients.

10. We are not real doctors. This one applies more to the general public. We are not the technologists. If I got a dollar for every time somebody asks what I do for a living and I say I'm a radiologist and I get the response "oh yah, I met a radiologist last week when getting my "insert imaging modality" done," I would be incredibly wealthy. However, for someone interested in radiology, the prevalence of this myth one is something to be aware of. I always discuss with my husband who often gets cookies/cupcakes sent home from his patients that as a radiologist you have to be okay with sometimes not getting the direct satisfaction of "saving a life." It's not always "saving a life," but often times we do make the diagnosis but we're not the ones who relay the good news (or bad news) to the patients. I am okay with that. People choose to go into medicine for different reasons and some thrive off the direct acknowledgement from their patients. For me, as a radiologist, the internal satisfaction that I am helping my patients is enough.

Lastly, good luck everyone in their residency applications regardless of specialty!

Excel at the GRE with XL Pathfinders

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is a requirement for getting admission into most graduate schools in the United States. GRE helps students get into Masters and PhD programs in sciences, arts and business. Some graduate schools in countries like the United Kingdom, Canada among others also lay down the GRE as a prerequisite for admission. The GRE is a computer based test and test takers are scored out of a total of 340. The 340 is divided into a 130-170 mark Verbal Section and a 130-170 Quantitative Section. The test also consists of a writing section which is evaluated on bands ranging from 0 to 6. Some universities set a minimum requirement of scores from each section.

The Verbal Reasoning section consists of questions relating to text completion, reading comprehension and sentence equivalence. The Quantitative Reasoning section measures the test taker’s comfort level with high school mathematics with questions pertaining to problem solving along with understanding and application of quantitative information. The Analytical Writing Assessment tests the student’s critical thinking and ability to comprehend and then articulate complex ideas.

XL Pathfinders boast an excellent GRE coaching centre in Delhi. Our trainers have studied abroad themselves and thus know what it takes to crack the GRE. At XL Pathfinders, we curate a specialized learning schedule for each student as per their needs and requirements. The dedicated team of trainers at XL Pathfinders ensures that students receive the best level of guidance for their GRE preparation.

Although, no GRE score guarantees admission into an institute of the student’s choice, a competitive GRE score significantly boosts the chances of the candidate in gaining acceptance into their dream college. A perfect score of 340 can easily be made a reality through the GRE preparation course offered by XL Pathfinders. The highly education faculty at XL enable a student to excel in the exam by being a part of our GRE coaching centre in Delhi.

The test is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and it costs US $195 to take the test. Although in certain circumstances, the ETS will reduce the fee for those GRE applicants who prove economic hardship as the ETS seek to promote financial aid.

Enroll with XL Pathfinders for GRE preparation and take the first step towards securing admission into your dream college.

Western Balkans Film Archives Need Help

posted September 27, 2016

Since 2012, the Albanian Cinema Project has been working to save the little-known legacy of Albanian film.

And it needs help to buy a film scanner that will stay in the region and enable high-resolution scanning of threatened films.

A closer look at Spencer W. Kimball’s The Miracle of Forgiveness

MRM has produced a new website centered around President Spencer W. Kimball’s book The Miracle of Forgiveness. The url is www.themiracleofforgiveness.com. We have also produced a Kimball million dollar bill (tract) to be used in conjunction with this website. Check out the website and recommend Kimball’s book to every Mormon you know!

Forgiveness. Received only after a member repents of all sins and keeps all the commandments. D&C 1:32 says, “Nevertheless, he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven.” D&C 82:7 adds,  “And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any sin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; but unto that soul who sinneth shall the former sins return, saith the Lord your God.” Eleventh President Harold B.

Forgiveness: A 28 (or more)-step program?

By Eric Johnson

Christianity has historically taught that God provides forgiveness to all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. Over and over again, the Bible proclaims that it is through the blood of the Lamb that God’s children are able to receive this forgiveness, despite the fact that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).

Earthlink to Provide Gold's Gym with Network Security

EarthLink, a global provider of IP access and network security products, recently announced that it has partnered with global fitness chain Gold's Gym to provide Gold's with Wi-Fi and network security for its 147 corporate locations. The agreement should, according to the report, allow the company to save more than 30 percent when compared with the cost of its previous network provider.

Bill Floyd, the CIO of Gold's Gym, is on record as saying that the new network has come to pass because of the flood of data security breaches that bombard the media. Indeed, breaches that have affected global enterprises have made their ways into headlines within TMC (News - Alert), and the exact value of a breach is reportedly difficult to determine because of the sliding cost of legal fees, lost opportunity costs, and everything else associated with such events.

At the least, Gold's Gym said the switch to EarthLink should provide its corporate centers with full PCI (News - Alert) compliance that will help to protect the brand and its customers.

“With all of the data breaches in the media, our executive team is focused on protecting our members' security,” Floyd commented in the company announcement. “With EarthLink, we can provide a secure network for our company and secure Wi-Fi connectivity for our members in addition to addressing PCI compliance, further protecting the Gold's Gym brand and member experience. Once fully implemented, EarthLink's solution will save Gold's Gym approximately 30 percent over our previous providers, even though it includes more robust functionality and protection.”

The partnership will result in more than Wi-Fi provision to club members and staff. After the installation is complete, Gold's Gym will rely on EarthLink MPLS to route communications between applications that handle points of sale and management and corporate applications. Furthermore, as part of the PCI compliance mentioned above, the EarthLink suite of PCI Compliance Solutions services will handle the security of employee training applications, will handle security policies that determine file access permissions, and will consistently monitor the Gold's network for possible breaches. An EarthLink firewall will manage reports and analytics that will inform the reliability and uptime of the network as a whole.

The centralized infrastructure that EarthLink will provide could do more than save Gold's money on its network services. By managing the above network-based services from a single platform, EarthLink can also help Gold's to scale its network for future expansion and alleviate the hassle of dealing with multiple service providers that may not be able to communicate with each other to, for instance, complete network upgrades or solve network issues.

In collaboration with the IAM gallery, Kenor has released his latest series of screen prints in a 20 pieces limited edition. A perfect moment to get deeper on the conceptual origins of this artist from Barcelona.

The abstract geometries that characterize the work of Catalan artist Kenor are always the result of the visual interpretation of the music that motivates his creative action: techno, and more specifically Detroit techno.

An abstract, fascinating techno which originates and evolves… Detroit“.

This musical style, made from textures, makes Kenor’s interpretations  compose music through gesture, the very act of painting.

This time we present “Model 500“, a work of art that pays tribute to the music of Juan Atkins and Martin Bonds, with which the artist identifies since his youth. “I have tried to paint the sound of the song” The Flow “, in this case the remix that the English Underworld made from it […] A magician, that’s Juan (Atkins): He turns the elctro into techno, always planning into the future, full of funk everywhere, pure exploration. A sound engineer. He invented Techno.’

Model 500” is a silkscreen print on paper Rustic 280 based on 4 colors. A limited edition of 20 units signed and numbered by the artist. A collector’s work of art not only directed to art lovers but also to all those lovers of the music that set the basis of a generation. Because of the launch of this print, Kenor has prepared this mix entitled “Future to Future” showing once again his devotion to such sounds.

In addition to the launch of his limited edition, Kenor has released this mix titled “Future to Future” where he once again shows us his devotion to the sounds of bands like Surgeon, Prologue, Mode21 and Voices From The Lake.

To round up this update we bring you a quite interesting set of material where Kenor has sent us his latest train actions. He reaffirms his unquestionable dedication for art, at the same time as he shows proof of being a true graffiti writer with strict standards. Hats off people!

Why Is The Disney Channel Original Movie Marathon Missing One Major Film?

This needs to be discussed

We're more than halfway through the massive Disney Channel Original Movie marathon showing every single DCOM, culminating with the 100th one — Adventures in Babysitting — on June 24. But fans are noticing a discrepancy in the lineup.

The 1997 film Northern Lights, which is widely considered to be the first Disney Channel Original Movie, is not on the list. Some fans, however, peg the DCOM Under Wraps, about a mummy brought back to life, as the first-ever DCOM. Either way, Under Wraps is certainly more well-known than Northern Lights, which starred Diane Keaton.

When MTV News asked readers to rank all aired DCOMs in March, Northern Lights came in dead last, with a whopping 7.7k down votes. I doubt that many people saw and hated the movie. Instead, it's way more likely they'd just never heard of it, much less seen it. (Confession: I haven't even seen it.)

According to a 1997 article from The Boca Raton News, Keaton had wondered at the time why the film was being premiered on Disney Channel, since her character was a big chain-smoker. "I also think it's a little sophisticated," Keaton said. "I'm surprised we got away with it, actually, because it's just ... out there."

The film's absence from the mega marathon has people wondering what the deal is. Even the Wikipedia article for "List of Disney Channel original films" was updated to removed the movie from the page, despite it being labeled a piece of "original" programming in several write-ups around the time of its airing. I can personally confirm Northern Lights was included on that list as recently as March 2016, though I'm not sure when it was changed.

Since the supposedly first DCOM isn't part of the 100-film marathon, what took its place? The network included Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, a High School Musical spin-off, in its lineup instead. Disney confirmed this movie is a true DCOM, despite being originally released direct-to-DVD, then airing on the network about a month later.

It's unclear why the switcheroo happened — the Wikipedia page didn't initially include Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure — but we'll still enjoy watching Ashley Tisdale take NYC by storm and hang out with Austin Butler.

Still, no confirmation about why Northern Lights allegedly got the boot from the canon. It looks like this mystery is being kept Under Wraps -- for now.

Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure airs on Disney Channel June 20 at 2 a.m. as part of the DCOM marathon.

The MTV Golden Popcorn Was Too Heavy For This Little This Is Us Star

It’s just too big for his little arms!!!

This Is Us star Lonnie Chavis stole our hearts at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards when he accepted the Tearjerker award alongside his TV dad, Milo Ventimiglia.

But the coveted Golden Popcorn was too heavy for Chavis, who plays the younger version of Randall (Sterling K. Brown) on the NBC drama. "I can't keep faking that this is not heavy," Chavis said, handing the award to Ventimiglia.

Getty Images

Chavis and Ventimiglia won the award for their sentimental father-son scene in the show's episode "The Trip." The moment in question featured Ventimiglia's character Jack doing push-ups in karate class with little Randall on his back. "That moment in particular I feel like is so indicative of this beautiful moment of this father stepping up and participating in his son's life and showing him that he's always going to have his son's back," their costar Mandy Moore told MTV News on the Atlanta set of The Darkest Minds. "It was hard to not cry while we were shooting it."

It's honestly hard not to cry looking at photos of Chavis holding the Golden Popcorn.

Teaching teamwork to enhance patient safety

By Michelle Osmond

Imagine a child in hospital was given the wrong medication or too much medication. Now imagine you’re on the health care team that has to figure out what went wrong and how to make sure it doesn’t happen again. That’s the case study from the Patient Safety Interprofessional Education (IPE) Module that won Dr. Anne Kearney from the School of Nursing and some of her colleagues an award.

The Academy for Health Improvement (AHI) Duncan Neuhauser Award for Curricular Innovation encourages the development and dissemination of original curricular materials related to the teaching of improvement in health care.

“Patient safety is a timely and important topic in health care. Newfoundland and Labrador experienced two pivotal events in 2007 - the Commission of Inquiry on Hormone Receptor Testing and the Task Force on Adverse Health Events. The latter recommended that Memorial University implement interprofessional curriculum focused on patient safety. That’s when the undergraduate Patient Safety Interprofessional Education (IPE) module was developed,” explained Dr. Kearney, who is joint appointed to the Division of Community Health and Humanities in the Faculty of Medicine.

The Patient Safety IPE Module is based on evidence that when health care professionals communicate effectively and know how to work as a team, the quality of patient care increases. A total of 184 students in first year medicine, third year nursing (from both the main campus and Grenfell campus) and third year pharmacy participated in the patient safety module. Students were assigned to one of 20 interprofessional groups to participate in on-line discussions. The curriculum team developed a case study of a pediatric medication error where the physician, pharmacist and nurse all contributed to the adverse event so that no one health professional was to blame. Students were asked to review the case and reflect on a series of questions designed to emphasize the importance of working together as a team and what was required to create a culture of safety.

“I’m happy to report that students who took part had a significant attitude shift towards teamwork, adverse event reporting and documentation to improve patient safety,” said Dr. Kearney. “They also commented that their knowledge about patient safety had increased, along with the importance of the interprofessional team and the role of other health professionals in delivering safe patient care. That’s a big step towards better patient care when those students are out practicing.”

Dr. Kearney’s team also includes: Mary Bursey, Lynn Cooze and Ary Pevida, School of Nursing; Glenda Cunning, School of Nursing, Grenfell Campus; Carla Dillon and Amy Conway, School of Pharmacy; Tanis Adey, Paula Mullins-Richards, and Juanita Barrett, Faculty of Medicine; Pam King-Jesso and Heather Predham, Eastern Health; Brenda Kirby, Centre for Collaborative Health Professional Education; and Patricia McCarthy, PhD student. This is the second year in a row that a team from Memorial has won the award, which will be presented at the annual meeting of the AHI, on Dec. 6 in Orlando, Florida.

Galway native Faculty of Arts' Irish language teaching assistant

By Janet Harron

Conor Glynn is the Faculty of Arts' Irish language teaching assistant for the 2012-13 academic year.

Hailing from Galway, Mr. Glynn was teaching secondary school in Dublin's Fairview district when he heard about the position at Memorial. After speaking with Brid Falconer and Muireann Ni Chíobháin, Memorial's previous holders of the position, Mr. Glynn made the leap.

"They basically told me I'd have the time of my life here," he said. "I really like St. John's. It's small, like Galway."

Interested in further exploring links between Newfoundland and Ireland, Mr. Glynn is planning to take courses in Newfoundland history and folklore in his spare time. He's also joined the Avalon Harps, a local Gaelic Athletic Association team.

"They're working on trying to get local high schools interested in Gaelic football. I thought I might be able to do some work with them around Irish phrases used when playing sports."

Mr. Glynn is currently teaching Introduction to Irish Gaelic I in the fall semester. He holds a BA and MA in modern Irish from the National University of Ireland at Galway and a graduate diploma in education from the Dublin Cultural Institute. He can be contacted through the Department of Linguistics or at

Graduate level enrolment continues to soar

By Mandy Cook

Substantial grant procurement, memoranda of understanding with numerous universities around the world, new degree programs, award-winning digital recruitment strategies – is there anything the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) can't do?

Apparently not, as the ultimate goal of the SGS and its partners – to continue attracting top quality students at the master's and doctoral level to Memorial – is firmly in hand.

Recent numbers indicate that total graduate enrolment grew 8.6 per cent over the past year, from 3,119 graduate students to 3,386. During the same period, the number of full-time graduate students increased by 9.5 per cent and part-time graduate students by 7.3 per cent. In addition, the number of international graduate students increased by an impressive 23 per cent during the same period.

"Graduate applications to Memorial have more than doubled during the past five years, and have increased by 32 per cent during the past two," said Dr. Noreen Golfman, dean, School of Graduate Studies. "This is a clear sign that Memorial University has become an institution of choice for graduate education thanks to a combination of excellent research and programs, strong student services and competitive tuition for graduate students."

Ongoing collaboration with Student Affairs and Services, the Office of Student Recruitment, the Office of the Registrar, Computing and Communications, Distance Education, Learning and Teaching Support and the Division of Marketing and Communications has played an important role in the recruitment and support of the growing graduate cohort.

"A strong enrolment strategy takes a holistic approach, and the School of Graduate Studies' partnerships with other service units as well as our external stakeholders are extremely important," said Andrew Kim, director, graduate enrolment services. "Through these joint ventures, and by making data-informed decisions, strategically deploying technology and creating an appropriate level of student services and resources, Memorial can celebrate increased graduate enrolment and exceptional conditions for student success."

These partnerships have helped contribute to a number of successes linked to graduate enrolment growth, such as securing $400,000 in internal and external grants to support strategic enrolment management projects. The substantial bump in international graduate student enrolment is in part due to similar collaboration between the SGS, the International Centre and academic units to recruit more international graduate students and to sign memoranda of understanding (MOU) with an increasing number of partner institutions.

The new MOUs in particular foster student mobility, the creation of new and collaborative academic programs and increased financial support for graduate students. Ultimately, the educational partnerships help to build a stronger global profile and better positions Memorial to attract students from around the world.
In addition, new programs, including the master of arts in environmental policy at the Grenfell Campus, along with enhancements to existing graduate programs, have also helped to attract an increasing number of academically strong students to Memorial.

All of this good work has not gone unnoticed by colleagues working in the post-secondary recruitment field. In 2011, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers acknowledged the work Memorial has carried out in graduate enrolment management with the Strategic Enrolment Management Award of Excellence for Canadian institutions.

Whether students at the graduate level decide to pursue a master of arts or a PhD in engineering, Dr. Golfman is proud to say that enrolment is up in almost all areas of study.

New Blog - Bipolar Motherhood

I've started my new blog - Bipolar Motherhood. Check it out.

Maude said...

Hi Rachael!
I love your blog. I currently have two daughters and am thinking about a third. I am also bipolar type I. Reading your blog is really reassuring. I just have one question for you. How do you manage sleep? I have really, really hard mornings. I am so tired it's hard to get moving. Most mornings I don't know how I make it through. Do you have similar difficulties. I would love to exercise in the morning but am too tired. Perhaps I should try light therapy. I'll talk to my doctor about this but was just wondering if you had similar struggles and how you cope. Thanks for the blog, it's great!

Rachael said...

Hi Maude,

Interesting question, sleep. I pretty much have always my entire life had a crazy sleep schedule. I either sleep too little or too much, sleep at the wrong hours or whatnot.

Right now I'm having a lot of success by using the Phillips GoLITE blu - bluelight therapy device. Learn more about it here:

Over the long term it is supposed to help regulate your sleep. In the immediate term it makes me feel more awake even if I need more sleep.

Elongate Twig Ants (Pseudomyrmex ejectus)

Pseudomyrmex ejectus at the nest entrance (Florida, USA)

Why are Elongate Twig Ants (Pseudomyrmex species) so slender?

All the better to fit into the narrow crevices of their twiggy lodgings:

Pseudomyrmex twig ants don’t carve their own nest chambers the way most other ants do. Rather, they inhabit old burrows in twigs and stems dug by the larvae of other insects, especially beetles. Their flexible, elongate bodies allow them to maneuver in tight cavities:

Elongate twig ants comprise about 200 species found in the tropics and subtropics of the Americas. Their above-ground nesting preferences make them vulnerable to winter freezing, which is presumably why they don’t extend far into the temperate zones. That’s a real shame for we northern myrmecophiles. With the exception of a handful of hyper-aggressive ant-plant species, Pseudomyrmex are delightfully gentle, quirkly little insects.

    1. I think you’ve reverse-engineered pretty much all my tricks, Ted! Yes, that’s me holding the stem a couple inches above a green leaf.

      No idea on the plant. I was too focused on the ants.

  1. I think the stem is Sambucus, Ted.
    It’s interesting how little effort these seem to have put into cleaning out the pith from this stem. In my experience, Ps. gracilis tends to do a lot of excavation and expulsion of soft material when they move into a stem.

  3. “delightfully gentle, quirkly little insects…” ok we must have a vicious sub-breed here in central Florida. The ones here sting as soon as they land on you (often, I guess they are clumsy) and the sting is incredibly painful. Painful as in it dropped me the first time and I almost called 911 – lasted 2 weeks, the entire joint hurt, and it left a hole that took another week to heal. I am not the only one to have experienced agony from just one sting! And I thought fire ants were bad…I’d rather get a half dozen fire ant stings than one of these. Make that a full dozen.

    1. Please help! I have constant stings and it’s always several. Right now I have 14 in one area. I live on an acre and must go out every day to feed my animals. What used to be my favorite place is now my hell.

      I’m with you!! NOTHING DELIGHTFUL ABOUT THEM!! Trimming trees in our backyard in Orlando. Felt like something stinging me on my neck. Then I felt stinging down my back. Next, my hands felt like they were on fire! And they started itching terribly!! I ran them under cold water and scrubbed them with a dish sponge, so hard, I scrubbed the skin off in several places!!Then MY ARMPITS STARTED ITCHING!!! I ran in the house & stripped off my clothes and jumped in the shower! When I got out, I checked my clothes and there were two twig ants inside my shirt. But, my armpits had hundreds of HUGE SWOLLEN LUMPS under them – all the way down to the inside crease of my elbows on both arms!! About a dozen dime-quarter size red welts on my neck & down my back. Rash down my chest, under my breasts all over my belly & down the insides of my legs!! I went to the Centra Care. They told me I evidently had an extremely allergic reaction to the “stings”. No kidding!! They gave me a steroid pack of Prednisone for 6 days and told me to take Benedryl – 2 every 6 hours for up to 10 days. The itching was better by the next day – the swelling went down in a few days – but it left red “blotches” on my skin for about a week. We have alot of trees in our yard – oak, magnolia, palm, camphor. So I’m freaking out about these ants being arboreal! I’ve been stung by fire ants several times over the years – NOTHING like this!!!

      1. Live in Tampa area and have been a victim of the bites of these horrible aggressive ants many times, especially this summer. I became paranoid sitting out on my deck, constantly on lookout for them. The swelling and itching are horrible and longlasting. Ice packs help. Someone said to flick them, not smack them, and that it so true. I instictively smacked one and it bit me three times in the same area. Ouch!! I may have finally found something that works. I sprayed the ground and foundation areas around my deck with Raid Max Bug Barrier about 2 weeks ago, and I have not seen them since. I didn’t expect it to work so I am amazed. This spray has an automatic trigger so it is super easy to use and aim where you want it. I hope this is a lasting solution as I do not want an encounter with one of these little terrors ever again!! Good luck to you and all the other twig ant victims!!

        1. Shannon Douglas

          Thanks for sharing! I haven’t been bitten again(Thank God!) but like you, am always “in fear” of it…………I’m getting the Raid Max Bug Barrier that you suggest – just in case I see them again. Also, have the prednisone pack & benedryl handy!!

    3. Sting can be life threatening to those who are allergic, some people have to carry an epipen to avoid shock. Swelling can last many weeks and pain is constant. Affected area can be many square inches with alarming bright red or pink swelling. A single soft wood tree can contain many nests and queens in the dead branches. All must travel the same trunk and are vulnerable to insect sprays at that point. Nests are fairly waterproof and therefore impervious to insecticides. Workers will not carry poisons to the queen. To control colonies dead branches must be removed, put in a trash can, treated with killer and placed away from the house with the lid on. Spraying will kill aphids and other nectar producing insects depriving ants of their food source. Ultimately the tree or plant may have to be cut out. ALL COMMENTS are from personal experience, I am not an entomologist but did drop the course twice.

      1. For Paul –
        Entomologist, or not, your information is appreciated. I had one of those 2-week huge swellings. I wanted to know what was needed to get rid of them. Thanks.

    1. LOL! that is probably it. Evil little things ninja-drop on me every time I pass by a tree. You know I am all for live-and-let-live philosophy but I can’t believe I found a critter I dislike more than fire ants. I believe immigration reform may need a “hominids only” clause!

  4. I live in Davie Fl, I cover from head to toe and I still get stung. My tigh and butt look lke I have a disease. My yard is my place for peace.

  5. I see that this article is about P-Myrmex “ejectus” (which I did not know about). My experience – like Robin and Judith – is with P-Myrmex gracilis and it’s pretty much the epitome of evil to me. I was stung for the first time in spring 2012 when pruning an allemanda shrub. The sting was sharp and later sent weird chills up that arm. So my body must’ve developed antibodies to its venom and when I was stung again in fall of 2012 – simply when I walked on my patio – it landed me in the hospital early a.m. the next day. Hives all over my stomach, chest, legs. They hit me with epinephrine, solumedrol and benadryl all at once – one of the worst experiences of my lives. And they’re all over my home, front and back, and I step on them every chance I get. Even when pest control annihilates them, they’re back within 1 month, all over the place. I wish I was an entomologist who could develop a poison strictly developed for them, they would be history. And Robin? Hope you keep epi-pen close at hand. You might need it one day.

  7. “they inhabit old burrows in twigs and stems dug by the larvae of other insects, especially beetles”

    **Does anyone have a source that discusses this? or even mentions it?

    I would really appreciate it, thanks!! 🙂

  8. Hello! Interesting discussion! I was trying to find out what ant stung me and what was injected to cause the welt. I discovered it was P-Myrmex gracilis and the venom had peptides in it, but that is all. It seems that ant venom is not well understood except the formic acid dispensers. I am a land manager, and I seem to get stung every time I go out in the field. People here call them “oak ants” but now I know better.

    1. Hello Alexandra. How did you discover it was the P-Myrmex gracilis that stung you? Did you have an allergy test? I had a severe reaction to a sting and I have a suspicion that it was the ‘gracilis’. I’d like to be able to firmly identify the beast that stung me.

  9. I’ve been stung by them several times. While I’ve never had the reaction that you folks had, they are quite painful. To me it’s like a bee sting, but not quite as intense.

  10. Bev H
    This afternoon, while doing an outdoor event as a volunteer, I felt something on my forearm. As soon as I saw it was a twig ant, I pinched it and killed it. It was too late. One bite was enough.
    Here in central Florida I have been bitten by them a number of times over the past 20 years. The first time, on my neck, I was sure it was a wasp. Each time I have gotten a hard, hot welt that expands to a 2-inch diameter. This is the worst, and I wonder if it is because that hand is recovering from 20 fireant bites a week ago. I use StingStop topically and take homeopathic Apis and/or Ledum. The fire and pain goes down, but the welt takes awhile. They do not get the pustule that fireant bites do. NOT a “delightfully gentle” beast . . . and I loved my entomology course as a biology major!

    1. A photo on another site showed a wasp-like stinger on the abdomen – so definitely a sting, not a bite. Like velvet ants – are they a wasp?

  11. I want to know what common insecticide will kill these twig ants. Regular ant spray of any brand does not affect them. They just keep on going. The only thing I know to kill them is ant and hornet spray, but I don’t want to use so much to kill one ant at a time.

May Newsletter Post

Greetings NABC,

Another month has come and gone, maybe even quicker than I could imagine. Easter went well, we had 220 in attendance, and were able to meet some new people in the process. It was an exciting day for sure!

Now that May is here, I wanted us to continue to pray for three things with me. 1. Pray for the revival of God to come to Minden. Pray that people would begin to follow Jesus, pray people would repent and come back to Him, and pray that we the people of NABC would live out the repentance and revival in our own lives. If you want, a group of us meet every Sunday morning at 8:15 to pray for this specifically. 2. Pray for the opportunity we have to engage in an extended internship with a potential youth minister. Pray for God’s wisdom and guidance to be all over this process. Pray for Shane and Mack (his fiancé) as they process and decide whether this is the road God is leading them down. Pray for us that we don’t make a decision out of only need but also out of the guidance of the Holy Spirit 3. Pray for the search team and personnel committee as we continue the search process for a Worship Pastor/Associate Pastor. We are excited about what God has in store. Pray for complete unity on our decisions as a team. Pray for the potential person and the journey the Lord still has them on. Pray for wisdom and insight for the team as we process this important decision.

Jennifer, Landree, Hudson, and I are so blessed to call NABC and Minden our home. We are excited about what God is doing now, what God is going to do, and how God is going to use this church so that many people in Minden come to Jesus.

Love God, Love People,

Jeff Gray

Six Killed in Southern Iraq Protests

Six protesters were killed on Tuesday in the oil-rich southern Iraqi city of Basra, an official said, which has been shaken by two months of demonstrations.

"Six demonstrators were killed and more than 20 wounded," said Mehdi al-Tamimi, head of the government's human rights council in Basra province.

Security forces "directly opened fire on protesters," he said.

'I Select on Penis Length,' Says Female Coach of German Men's Team

The first woman to coach a men's team in one of Germany's top five leagues is tackling sexism by sarcastically suggesting her selections are based on penis lengths.

Former Germany women's Under-20 midfielder Imke Wuebbenhorst was last month appointed head coach of the men's team at BV Cloppenburg, who currently sit bottom of the Lower Saxony Oberliga in the fifth tier of German football.

When German newspaper Welt jokingly asked whether she sounds an alarm on entering the dressing room, to ensure her players cover themselves up, the tough-talking blonde gave a cutting answer.

"Of course not, I am a professional -- I base my selections on penis lengths," the 30-year-old replied sarcastically.

Having hung up her boots in 2016 after a career which saw Wuebbenhorst twice win the European title with Germany's Under-19 team and played in the women's Bundesliga for Hamburg, she ended up coaching the women's side in Cloppenburg after playing for the team.

She refuses to see herself as a pioneer for other women.

"The topic bounces off me. I want to be judged on performances, not on whether I'm a woman or a man," she told Cloppenburg's website.

"I don't have a problem commanding authority -- I'm a teacher."

The presence of a female head coach in Germany's lower leagues has attracted plenty of media attention, but Wuebbenhorst is focused solely on the task in hand.

"We only have 12 games left to stay in the league. It's going to be a tough job," she said.

"Several of my peers have described my new task as a suicide mission, and asked me why I do such a thing, but other clubs are not exactly lining up for me.

"The only fear I have is that a relegation would be blamed on the fact that I am a woman."

Facebook Moving to Silicon Valley Campus

Facebook on Tuesday announced plans to move its fast-growing operations to a sprawling Silicon Valley campus once home to Sun Microsystems.

Facebook, which turned seven years old this month, has seen its ranks of employees increase by about 50 percent annually and is already cramped in the space it moved into in the city of Palo Alto in early 2009.

The former Sun campus in the city of Menlo Park, which borders Palo Alto, has nine buildings with a total of a million square feet (92,900 square meters) of office space set on 57 acres (23 hectares) of land, according to Facebook director of real estate John Tenanes.

Facebook is also buying an adjacent 22-acre (8.9-hectare) lot from U.S. car maker General Motors.

"We've been looking for a setting where we can plant some roots," Facebook chief financial officer David Ebersman said while unveiling the plan with city officials at Menlo Park City Hall.

"One of our priorities as we rebuild the campus will be to make it a fun place to be. We are in this for the long term," Ebersman said.

Facebook expected to begin moving employees to the new campus in June and intended to eventually have all of its workers there.

Facebook started this year with about 2,000 employees, two-thirds of whom live in the San Francisco Bay area and work at the online social networking star's headquarters.

A smattering of employees from Oracle, which bought Sun in a multi-billion-dollar deal completed last year, will be vacating the Sun campus to clear the way for Facebook.

Facebook did not disclose financial terms of the real estate deal but Ebersman said it has a 15-year lease on the former Sun property with an option to buy it after five years. Sun completed the campus in 1994.

The buildings will renovated to be more open, eliminating inner walls and cubicle spaces in keeping with a company culture of collaboration and interaction among employees, according to Tenanes.

"We have a very open work environment -- no cubicles or walls -- to maximize information interaction between employees; unexpected conversations and the free flow of ideas and energy," Ebersman said.

Facebook will also bring with it cherished sections of graffiti-covered walls cut-out of its initial headquarters in downtown Palo Alto as keepsakes when it left two years ago for a larger space in that city.

Facebook has maintained the tradition of personalizing walls with graffiti, but opted for removable panels in the current Palo Alto space.

Tenanes envisioned a long courtyard at the heart of the cluster of buildings being turned into a play on a European street scene where workers could exchange ideas in an outdoor social scene.

"The most important thing is to bring together motivated people to build products and services," Ebersman said.

The shift to nearby Menlo Park is less disruptive to current Facebook employees and keeps the company centrally located in Silicon Valley where it can "attract and retain talent," according to Ebersman.

Google, Apple, and Yahoo! are among the many technology firms with headquarters or offices located a short distance from Menlo Park.

10 Lessons Kids Can Learn From Elroy Jetson

The pint-sized genius of the Jetson family, Elroy is a precious (and precocious) example of the archetypal “Good Kid.” As modern children rediscover the greatness of vintage cartoons like The Jetsons, an entirely new generation is introduced to the lessons that can be learned, simply by watching. Here are ten of the lessons that can be taken from Elroy and his behavior.

  1. Schoolwork is Important – With his excellent grades and dedication to doing the right thing, Elroy is one of the best examples out there for kids regarding the importance of education.
  2. Your Heroes May Not be All They Seem – In one episode entitled “Elroy’s Pal,” our favorite miniature inventor is favored with the prize of meeting his favorite celebrity. After a series of blunders, George discovers that Nimbus the Great might not be all that great; Elroy learns a valuable lesson about fictional heroes and those of the real-life variety.
  3. Honesty is Still The Best Policy – After breaking a lamp in an attempt to juggle, Elroy faces a dilemma: should he tell the truth and suffer the consequences, or use his above-average intellect to get out of trouble? In the end, both Elroy and his pint-sized fans learn the value of honesty.
  4. Even Little Guys Can Have Huge Ideas – Despite being very young and rather small for his size, Elroy has no shortage of big ideas and the know-how to bring them to fruition. He serves as an inspiration for kids everywhere, proving that the sky is the limit.
  5. Rescuing Pets is Its Own Reward – Both of the Jetson family’s beloved pets, Astro and Orbitty, found their way to their forever homes at the hands of Elroy Jetson. The importance of rescuing pets and its inherent reward is passed on to small viewers.
  6. Running Away Won’t Solve Anything – When a troubled classmate switches his failing report tape with Elroy’s excellent one, Elroy decides to run away upon discovering that his parents don’t believe his story. In the end, he learns a very important lesson about running away, and how little it solves.
  7. Too Much Curiosity Can Lead to Trouble – Though his inquisitiveness is borne of his intelligence and need to know how things operate, Elroy’s abundant curiosity caused more than one chaotic situation during the run of the show.
  8. A Backup Plan Can Save the Day – After an invention switcheroo causes chaos in the episode “Dog Daze Afternoon,” everything is set back to rights because Elroy has a backup dog-trainer chip, showing kids that being well-prepared is the way to go.
  9. A Sense of Justice is a Good Thing – Elroy Jetson has a very well-formed sense of justice, which moves him to make the right choices and stand up for those who are in need of help. This strength of character is a great example for kids, and helps to make Elroy one of the better options when it comes to cartoon role-models.
  10. Your Parents Might Not Be as Boring as You Think – Faced with the task of making a video chronicling a day in the life of his father, Elroy is dismayed by the thought that his father’s dull job will be an embarrassment. When the tape of George repetitively pressing a button at Spacely Sprockets is replaced with an exciting reel showcasing his adventures in keeping Astro out of trouble, kids watching learn alongside Elroy that sometimes parents aren’t as boring as they seem.

Elroy Jetson is one of those cartoon-kids that kids viewing the program will find full of positive lessons that are easy to glean.
