Say it with confidence…

One of my best friends admits that sometimes she tells us facts which she isn’t 100% sure are true (you know who you are!!), but she says if you  “say it with confidence” most of the time people will automatically believe you.

I…on the other hand…do not have this skill.  Instead, I tend to preface everything thing I say with “I am not really sure but…”,  “I’m probably not right, but”  or “Shoot me down if I’m wrong…”.    I like to think this makes me a very open minded and honest person…after all, I want to be humble,  accepting of other people’s opinions/ideas and authentic about who I am.  I know I have a terrible memory,  so there is actually a high likelihood I might be wrong…

Which is all well and good but, quite frankly,  at work I’ve noticed this can get me into a lot of trouble.   I’ve noticed how other people always seem to be crystal clear about their thoughts and ideas.  I wonder why I’m doubting myself when everyone else seems so sure.    And then it suddenly occurred to me that maybe,  all they are doing is simply “saying it with confidence”…so I believe them.

The thing is,   why open yourself up unnecessarily to people questioning your ideas and opinions?   In my case,  usually the things I am talking about are things (at work at least,  outside of work..hmm..lets just say you wouldn’t want me on your Trivia team) I have researched heavily,  or have gained knowledge from my experience.  I have thought it through and come up with a strategy or thought.   So…I don’t need to preface what I am saying with all the question marks,  infact,  it is doing me damage.

I think I do it because deep down, I have a fear of failure, a fear of looking silly, a fear that maybe I’m a crazy imposter and soon everyone will figure out that I ain’t really got what it takes.   But actually all I am doing,  is making other people doubt my opinion.  Making them question my decisions…after all,  why wouldn’t they when it appears I am questioning them myself!?

So…this week I am going to practice saying it with confidence.  If I’m 95% sure,  I need to back myself.  And if someone else thinks differently, or challenges me on my direction, that’s OK…I can explain my decision making if I need to and I still reserve the right to be open minded and change my decision if I get new information.

Of course, you can’t really use this strategy if you really don’t know what your talking about.   My friend…gets away with slightly faking her facts sometimes,  mostly because usually, she is pretty spot on.  So if she thinks something is true (even if she can’t actually remember whether it is correct or not),  she backs herself that it is probably right.

Confidence…I’m going to fake it till I make it.

Drawings at Pier 34
Drawings at Pier 34

Color photographic print [Kodachrome slide by Marisela La Grave; Print by David Wojnarowicz. See below.]

19.75 x 30 inches

This is an image of the Pier 34 show. Guerrilla art shows that took place in unused City of NY buildings such as the Real Estate Show, or the Times Square Show that was held in an abandoned massage parlor, are examples of art collectives creating alternatives to the staid, exclusionary spaces of museums and galleries. They took the concept a step further with shows that were intentionally disposable, often leaving the artwork behind to be destroyed with the condemned buildings. The Pier 34 show organized by David Wojnarowicz and Mike Bidlo was the apex of this artistic protest, with the murals, stencil, and graffiti paintings literally crumbling into the Hudson River as the decayed waterfront was left to rot by a corrupt and indifferent city government. This photograph offers one of the few examples that remain of Wojnarowicz’s amazing contribution to the exhibition.

Although the exact history of this large photograph is unclear, it seems likely that it was made by Wojnarowicz for the 1984 Fashion Moda traveling show “Of The Street”. In early 1983 the long abandoned Pier 34 at the foot of Canal Street was the site of an illegal exhibition, as described above. The Pier 34 Show harnessed the raw street energy that then dominated the art scene and it was an important showcase for up-and-coming “East Village” artists. Authorities quickly shut down the show and soon demolished the pier leaving only a handful of photographs as the sole record of a now legendary event. The photographer of this large, color print of Wojnarowicz’s extraordinary room is Marisela La Grave whose connection with Wojnarowicz and her photographs of the art at Pier 34 is discussed in Cynthia Carr’s 2012 book Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz, pp. 204-6. A conversation with La Grave revealed that she lent the Kodachrome slide of this image to Wojnarowicz around 1984 so that he could make duplicates. The slide was never returned. Because this large color photograph was acquired from an archive associated with the Bronx art space Fashion Moda, it seems likely that Wojnarowicz used the slide to create this photograph for the Fashion Moda traveling exhibition “Of The Street.”

So Very Thankful: Remission Accomplished

so-very-thankfulHands down, this year’s major to-be-thankful-for item is my husband David’s remission from cancer. His diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia early in January was a jumpstart to a year of extreme faith.

I remember the first prayer we prayed: “Lord, cancer does not define us! Our faith in you does. Help us to remember that as you carry us through this journey.”

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) says, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

Our hope is in God, our future is with God—whether here on earth or in Heaven.

We shook off our pre-planned 2016 agendas and headed to Boston, thankful we lived in close proximity to some of the best hospitals in the world. We are grateful for the expertise and experience of the caring medical teams who still treat David. We were blessed with help from family and friends—most especially the perfectly-matched stem cells from David’s sister, Darleen.

peace-lloyd-jonesWe didn’t fret or fear.We prayed and trusted God—not necessarily for David’s healing, but for God’s perfect will for our lives. We’re not naive. We know bad things happen to all people—whether they have faith in God or not. It’s hard to understand sometimes.

But Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV) puts it this way: “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the LordAs the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’

We had no idea how this would turn out, yet we lived in the midst of a peace that goes way beyond our mere mortal comprehension. When you know God in a personal way, He does that sort of thing for you.

And it doesn’t matter if you’re in the midst of cancer, grief, marital strife, emotional turmoil, physical pain, failure, job loss, financial stress, or loneliness. He’s within a prayer’s reach–and it doesn’t have to be a fancy prayer either. Just open your heart to him; you’ll see.

We are so very thankful for our family and friends–for your prayers, moral support, kind words, warm hearts, open arms, and for taking the time to listen.

remission-accomplishedDavid still has a couple more months of a semi-quarantined lifestyle. He’ll start the re-immunization process after the first of the year. Until we see you again, we’ll continue to celebrate a remission accomplished!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Dating and the Half-Blood Prince

Nine years ago, I remarried after being widowed for eight years. I found a great guy who understands meyet, amazingly, has never tried to run off.

That I know of.

Because I found happiness again, single women often ask me how I met my husband. As if how I met David would work the same way for them.

My advice to them is to pray and wait. Do things you enjoy, learn something new, help someone less fortunate, and spend time with your family and friends. If God has someone for you, He is more than able to bring you two together—without your help.

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lordbe strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. ~ Proverbs 27-13-14 (NIV)

Why am I qualified to give this advice? Because I did everything wrong.

Most of my seeking was on faith-based, online dating sites. Though I found a number of men in my age-bracket, our other brackets didn’t line up. I know “wacko” isn’t a nice word, but let’s just say, I had family and friends who would’ve chased these men off with a stick.hoFleischmannRapidRiseYeast (2)

  • The man who took turns doing jail time with his fourth wife on domestic abuse charges. He told me, “Don’t worry, we’re getting a divorce.”
  • The man who refused to date a woman who had ever had a yeast infection.
  • The man who lived in the woods while waiting on the Lord to give him a trailer.
  • The man who lived in a trailer while waiting on the Lord for the right time to downsize.

To be clear, I didn’t date many men at all during those years. Sometimes just reading their profiles was enough (or should have been). However, I did communicate with a number of them via the websites, email, or phone.

I often asked myself why. Why did I respond to every inquiry? Why did I continue after the initial exchange? Why did I agree to speak by phone?

The answer is complicated. Since I was lonely, bored, and insecure, empathy played a big part. I felt bad for them. I didn’t want to be mean or rude and make them feel worse. Sometimes it was the writer in me, rubbernecking from a safe distance. Their lives were so different from mine; I wanted to get up close, but not too personal.

I knew my curiosity wasn’t healthy. It got the best of me the night I agreed to meet one of the online bachelors at a Borders bookstore. I knew we weren’t a good fit the moment I saw him. Yet fascination drew me in. And there was the whole not wanting to be mean thing.

We ordered coffee and found a table. He sat facing the window; I sat facing him and the store. Since my interest had peaked prior to the date, when he told me that he and his older brother lived with their mother [Did I mention they were in their fifties?], what little interest that remained waned.

Trying to salvage the conversation, I asked, “So what do you do for a living?”

His face lit up. “I mow lawns. My brother has a paper route.” [Did I mention they were in their fifties?]

tumblr_kzb0vfjtHR1qbrupjo1_400 (2)Pretending to pay attention is a lot like lying. And I’m not good at it; I felt guilty. So when an eerie pale-faced, bald man dressed in black slithered through my peripheral vision, I thought I was being chastised.

I recovered my composure and changed the subject. Since his profile had been on a Christian website, I asked, “So what church do you attend?”

“We attended a great church in New Jersey, but we haven’t found one we like here yet.”

“Oh. How long have you lived here?”

“Eighteen years.”

I tried to morph my “you’re kidding me” face into a calm “I see” expression. My disingenuous reaction only stirred up an even more ominous-looking apparition, which skulked back and forth behind my date’s chair.

I remember thinking, “If I keep my eyes straight ahead and try to be kind and truthful, maybe the hallucinations will go away.”half-blood

It didn’t work. I started seeing witch hats and broomsticks between the books shelves. And it was June.

But when Harry Potter himself sat down nearby for a chai latte with Professor Dumbledore, I had to ask my date if he saw them, too.

“Sure. J.K. Rowling’s latest book. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out today. Most of the staff and customers are in costume.”

I scanned my date for the umpteenth time. Was he dressed up, too? Did I dare ask?  I considered his two possible answers. Neither would brighten our future.

The very next day I surrendered my will and my search and deleted all my online dating accounts. As I was doing one final click-through, Yahoo Personals popped up–a site I had not joined. Or had I? I did a quick look to be sure.

And—yahoo!—I found David.

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. ~ Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV)

The Big Sleep

A private eye thinks he’s ready for his next case, but didn’t prepare himself for the tricky situation – and the even trickier women – that he is about to encounter.

This 1946 film noir directed by Howard Hawks was adapted for the screen by William Faulkner, from the book written by Ramon Chandler. It was the second of four films that would star Bogart and Bacall, who were married 3 months after the filming was complete. While rife with friction on the set due to the leading actors’ extramarital affair, the film has become a classic of its genre.

We meet Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) as he is meeting General Sternwood, his next client. Marlowe meets the youngest daughter of the general, and we are then introduced to Carmen Sternwood (Martha Vickers), a hot-to-trot party girl who can’t seem to tell Marlowe “You’re cute” enough times to satisfy her. He brushes her flirtatious advances off brusquely and from that moment forward, Carmen is determined to catch his eye. Unfortunately for Carmen, after meeting with her father and getting the scoop on his next case, Marlowe meets her older sister Vivian Rutledge (Lauren Bacall), and almost forgets there are other females in existence. Almost. After a brief – but heated and witty – exchange of words, Marlow and Rutledge part ways.

“I’m sure I don’t care what you say, Mr. Marlowe.”

The mystery goes a little something like this: a man that has blackmailed General Sternwood (Charles Waldron) in the past is doing so again, and the general’s right hand man is missing. Sternwood needs someone to find out what happened to his number one guy, as well as finding out everything possible about the blackmailer. Marlowe soon finds out that some of the general’s adversaries live right under his own roof. His daughters both have secrets to hide and agendas to meet, and know how to make a man lose sight of his goal with their beguiling feminine wiles. Marlowe plays it cool and forges ahead. How does he fare with so much pitted against him? Watch and find out, Constant Viewer.

A recurring item in the film is the presence of fiery young women with gorgeous faces. The general’s daughters, the librarian, the women who work as clerks at the bookstores in town, the cigarette girls at the club, and even the taxi driver, are all drop-dead gorgeous. Add to that a cast of rough-and-rowdy men – and the fact that everyone seems to have a sharp wit and a tongue to match – and you have a delight to the intellect and libido in one film presentation. Bogart’s dialogue with Bacall’s character during their first meeting is a spectacular spat between two strong-willed individuals. The bookstore clerk knows her stuff, too, and the witty exchange between her and Marlowe is as seductive as it is intelligent. So much so that you almost feel sorry for her when Marlowe leaves with a simple “So long, pal”. There are so many excellent conversations between Marlowe and the other characters that I can’t begin to go into them all here. Suffice it to say, the zingers fly and if you can keep an amused grin off your face, you’re made of sterner stuff than I. Pay particular attention to Marlowe in disguise as he inquires about a copy of Ben Hur from 1860. Though there was some dispute over who came up with this alter ego – whether it was Hawkes or Bogart himself – the truth is that the description of the character was in the book by Chandler. The skill with which it was pulled off was all Bogie.

The sexual tension between the characters is extremely well communicated but never quite blatant, except in the case of Miss Sternwood, who has no problem draping herself over Marlowe any time she has the chance. She has a habit of biting her thumb to draw attention to her mouth, and Marlowe makes no pretense about how disgusted this makes him. Marlowe is rough with his women and has no problem extending a helping (back)hand in correcting them when needed. He eventually breaks her of the habit. The growth of the attraction between Marlowe and Ms. Rutledge, however, is one he doesn’t try to suppress. In fact, when the time comes for the first big kiss between the two, it is Marlowe who leans in and claims his prize, leaving Bacall’s flawless lips gleaming with moisture. It is a breathtaking moment to watch, and she affirms it was breathtaking to be a part of when she tells him “I like that. I’d like more.”

One bit of trivia that is especially endearing to me is the reason behind the development of Bacall’s trademark under-the-eyelashes look. She has been noted to say that, because she was such a nervous wreck when acting with Bogart, she had to find a way to steady herself while the camera rolled. She discovered that by tipping her head down and looking at Bogie from that angle, she was able to calm herself. Thus was born The Look, and she never stopped using it to her advantage.

The Big Sleep has been hailed as a classic. It has also taken much criticism due to its complexity and some loose ends as far as plot goes. Some say it is not clear who is guilty of some of the murders – and there are quite a few. Some cite the existence of characters without lines, without screen time, or that don’t show up on screen until near the end of the movie, as being pointless and confusing to the viewer. I won’t lie and say that this is a movie you can swallow and digest properly in one viewing. What I will say is that this film has enough humor, human beauty – both sexes – and enough clever dialogue to make it possible to watch it several times without becoming bored with it. Because of that, the complexity does not detract from the value of the film itself. Rather, like the book it is based on, the movie is guaranteed to be enjoyed through multiple viewings, with the audience discovering some new bit of information or action from a character with each run. The mystery, suspense, sexual tension, and gripping romance that unfolds holds the viewer captive as if it is brand new every time. Isn’t that the definition of a classic, and the stuff of which great films are made?

Ombre Lips! My Little Obsession

Doing my makeup is one of my favorite ways to express my creativity. I’m learning that it takes precision and patients to achieve a well-blended face. In my opinion, your makeup is not complete with a little pop of color. Aside from eyeshadow selection, your lip color choice will change the dynamic of your whole look. For instance, a soft pink color will look more natural whereas a vibrant red will add a bit of flare and boldness to your […]

6 Ways to Use Data to Improve Hospital Efficiency and Safety

By Madison Pittman

This is a snippet of the whitepaper: Using Data to Improve Hospital Efficiency and Data. To read the full whitepaper, download it here.

Artificial intelligence, data visualization, predictive analytics – most healthcare professionals have heard terms like these, but been unsure about their meanings, much less their applications. These buzzwords are associated with big data and they have serious applications to healthcare.

Big data is generally used to describe the large amounts of data that an organization has access to that can potentially be put to use. Big data can help organizations find patterns and make predictions for the future if it is done properly. Unfortunately, healthcare tends to lag behind other industries when it comes to utilizing big data. The reality is that our healthcare system is unfortunately not built to use large amounts of data to drive clinical practice change.

Hospitals have more access to big data than many other types of organizations. Data is collected automatically from smart phones, payer records, patient portals, research studies, and electronic medical records. Unfortunately, a large amount of data with mixed formats and contexts can be almost impossible to utilize. The challenge for all industries is determining how to dissect and digest data in order to detect patters and even craft predictions. In other words, hospitals need to make big data small again in order to make it useful.

The transition to value-based healthcare has been a financial challenge for most organizations as they have to transition to newer care models. The pressures to provide better quality care are growing. Patient satisfaction is becoming more important, but facilities are struggling to provide premium care, take care of their staff, and maximize profits.

Historically, hospitals haven’t had the time or resources to sift through large quantities of assorted data, much less take those data points and turn them into actionable insights.

Hospitals using Clean Hands – Safe Hands now have an advantage when it comes to gaining insights into clinical patterns and making decisions for the future. With Clean Hands – Safe Hands, facilities know which clinician is in which patient room and when. This information has a surprising number of benefits.

  • Improve patient satisfaction by measuring provider visits
  • Reduce nurse burnout by helping nurses be more efficient with their clinical care
  • Reduce the risk of falls by developing algorithms that highlight which patients are at risk of falling
  • Reduce the cost of treating providers by measuring who had contact with a contagious patient and how often
  • Identify the factors leading to the transmission of an infection
  • Correct workflow inefficiencies including when and where they happen

Access to this clinical intervention data allows hospitals to find patterns and make changes for the future. Clean Hands – Safe Hands does the data dissecting for its customers, allowing leadership to focus on what’s important: using the data to improve efficiencies and the patient experience within the hospital.

13 Self-Care Tips for “13 Reasons Why”

Tips from Cleveland Rape Crisis Center’s Prevention & Education Team

For survivors of rape and sexual abuse, seeing sexual violence portrayed on television, in the news, and in film can be challenging.  The popular Netflix original series 13 Reasons Why has raised a variety of difficult topics, including rape, suicide, and substance abuse, to the national conversation.  To engage safely with potentially triggering media like 13 Reasons Why, we recommend having a self-care plan in place.

A teenager sits on the couch using a tablet.

Try these 13 tips for watching and enjoying 13 Reasons Why:

  1. Consider whether you are emotionally and mentally ready to watch something that might trigger you.  Remember, if you do not think you are ready, that is OK!  Only you know your limits and what feels safe.
  2. Talk to someone supportive.  This could be a friend, family member, partner, or the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center hotline.  Tell them that you might need to reach out to them if you experience strong emotions while watching or after watching the show.  Come up with a plan for how to contact them if you need some support.
  3. Check in with yourself on a regular basis while watching.  Ask yourself, “Am I becoming overwhelmed?  Do I feel like I am having trouble concentrating?  Do I need to take a break?”  Treat yourself with kindness and respect.
  4. This may not be the best show to binge watch all in one sitting. It might be healthier to watch a couple of episodes at a time, then take a break and do something else.
  5. Make a self-care box while you are taking a break from watching the show. Fill a shoebox with items that you already know will help you to de-stress, such as a coloring book, tea, your favorite scented candle, chocolate, or play-doh.
  6. Try journaling for self-care and reflection, if you don’t already. Create a journal entry after each episode you watch.  Getting your thoughts out of your head and onto paper is a great way to track whether or not you are being triggered.
  7. Do some kind of physical activity, like going for a walk, or run, or taking a yoga class.
  8. Balance the emotional response you might have to the show by doing a fun self-care ritual after each episode. Call a friend to talk about lighthearted topics, watch puppy videos on the Internet, or take yourself out for ice cream.
  9. Create grounding tools to use during the show. Cuddle with a soft blanket, eat a snack that makes you feel happy, or color a picture while you watch.
  10. Watch something else. Other good shows to binge watch on Netflix; Gilmore Girls, The Fosters, Switched at Birth, Glee, Young and Hungry, and Parks and Recreation.
  11. Pick up a good book!
  12. Find your favorite DIY-ers on YouTube and start a do-it-yourself project.
  13. Finally, decide not to watch! Don’t feel pressured to watch something just because it seems like everyone else is watching.  You decide what is best for you.

TV Ad for Climate Sceptics - Urgent request by Leon Ashby
Monday, August 2nd 2010, 9:38 AM EDT
Co2sceptic (Site Admin)
Dear Climate Sceptics news reader,

We have put up twelve Senate candidates across Australia and seven lower house candidates. Our candidates are being advertised on our new web site

Our major TV campaign will begin on 8th August. We want to attack the green laws that cause injustices and destroy livelihoods - The ads are to educate as well as say who to vote for. I trust you will forward this email to your contacts to check the draft copy out.

It is hard hitting. We will be running the ad in as many cities as we can afford. Currently it will be in one state - but we want to broadcast it much wider.

30 second spots cost from $70 to $3,000 depending on the size of the audience and in which city. We have booked $20,000 of airtime so far

If you would like to see this ad broadcast in your state, we will need $10,000 - $20,000 to run a few spots (depending on the city) - but every $20 we get will go towards making the message get out into the public
Climate Sceptics News & Views. March 21st A2 from Leon Ashby
Sunday, March 21st 2010, 10:37 AM EDT
Co2sceptic (Site Admin)
Dear Climate Sceptics newsletter reader:

The climate sceptics has been approached by a number of other leaders of other lobby groups and they are wanting the Climate Sceptics party to not appear just a single issue party so their group and others across the country can get fully behind our direction and get senators up in the next Federal election.
At the same time our Executive has been developing policies across the board on issues related to climate change - generally where inaccurate science is used, or the Extreme Green view is taken, and where peoples rights and liberties are removed.

In short Leo Killigrew (WA property rights Association), myself & others on our executives have put together this powerpoint (attached) as a starting point to broaden our thrust.

We are now inviting everyone who is either a "good thinker" or a "potential candidate" or "a doer" who wants to make the climate sceptics party develope into a broader " Centrist Green', Pro freedom, Pro common sense party to a meeting in Melbourne on April 10th at 401 Collins Street from 9 am to 5 pm. It will cost $50 each for Lunch & morning and afternoon tea catering

This meeting will discuss many things and decide the next few steps. It is open to people who are not yet members as well and like the ideas in the attached powerpoint.
Attempts by NSW Govt to stop Coooeee March by Leon Ashby

This email from Leon Ashby is an UPDATE to Car rally and Protest March in Canberra 4th January 2010

Hi Everyone,

Just in is the news from Steve Truman RTA Inspectors Instructed to Harrass COOEE Drive Buses

What is happening is people are planning to get to Canberra behind Old Parliament House on Monday at 10.30am to march in support of Peter Spencers protest saying Australia is not a free country any more and we want a royal commission into the injustices concerning the Kyoto protocol & property rights.

Land can now be taken from anyone without Just terms and the fact that Peter Spencer cannot get heard in court despite 200 days attempting to do so is ample evidence the system is not working.

Call to Climate Sceptics & others - Protest March in Canberra this Monday - Urgent

Hi Everyone

This is a plea to assist Peter Spencer on his hunger strike to get Kevin Rudd to take notice of the fact he has offered to pay millions of dollars to other countries for locking up their forests, but he will not look at paying Australian farmers for the trees locked up by force in Australia as part of our Kyoto agreement. This issue is linked with the fact CO2 is being called a pollutant, fraudulent climate science has occurred and just processes are being suppressed. They are all organised behind the scenes to assist the Green religion.

To bring Peter Spencers case to court would assist Australians everywhere and severely dent the Green religion`s hold over politics - and not just in Australia either.

Food for thought about CO2 from Alan Siddons

Concentrated CO2 exposed to infrared will get somewhat warmer than everyday air. But this only proves that everyday air (99.96% of which is nitrogen, oxygen and argon) is more transparent to IR and less apt to be heated that way. Air molecules, CO2 included, initially acquire heat by contact with warmer surfaces. Via mutual collisions and convective transport, this heat gets spread around within an airmass.

To some slight degree, CO2 also has the option of acquiring heat by radiative transfer. But, rather ironically, it cannot radiatively transfer this heat to the nitrogen, oxygen and argon molecules which surround it because, as said, they are largely infrared-transparent. As a result, an excited CO2 molecule is obliged to share its heat just like the rest of them do, by bumping into other molecules. In short, there’s nothing special about CO2 in a real-world context. Outnumbered 2500 to 1, CO2’s energy is lost in a busy buzz of collisions, its radiative properties wasted.

Moreover, any heated gas radiates infrared — and in this case 99.96% of the gas consists of molecules other than CO2.

In ELISA, Gastroenterology

It is often difficult to differentiate patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) those who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome due to similar symptoms of patients. Both groups show similar nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Calprotectin in stool – indicator for inflammation of the gut

One significant difference between IBD and IBS is the presence of an inflammation the intestines, which can be determinded by immunological tests that quantify the Calprotectin concentration.

The amount of calprotectin in stool correlates directly with the intensity of the inflammation and gives the doctor an indication of whether a colonoscopy might be useful. In this way the analysis of calprotectin in stool helps to ensure an efficient treatment which is adapted to the needs of the patient.

Milestone publication to differentiate between IBD and IBS

Van Rheenen et al.* showed already in 2010 that calprotectin allows a precise distinction between IBD and IBS.

The analysis of calprotectin in the stool is a method for the differential diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome and is used for monitoring the course of IBD diseases.

Detection of calprotectin in stool

Calprotectin in stool can be detected by immunological tests such as RIDASCREEN® Calprotectin. View product →

Life Coaching

Personal - Life Coaching

What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a one-on-one, collaborative process in which a trained professional helps you, achieve your personal life goals.

These goals may include just about anything: more self-confidence, weight loss, career change, better relationships, and many more. People from every possible age, background, and occupation get coaching, but they all have one thing in common: a desire to achieve something more in their personal or professional life. Whatever your goals, a professional coach gives you motivation, accountability, and support, keeping you focused and taking action from week to week.

Why Does Life Coaching Work?

Life Coaching works because:

  • Accountability. Most life coaches have three calls a month with their clients. This regularly scheduled call prompts clients to get more done than they would if left to their own devices. Think about it, if you work out with a personal trainer at the gym, you work much harder than on your own. Clients take bigger actions, set bigger goals and think bigger when they work with a professional coach.
  • Expertise. The trained life coach knows how to help you set the right goals, make more money, and structure your personal and professional life to achieve greater productivity with less effort. You’ll achieve more in less time with the input of an accredited Life Coach on your side.
  • Delivery. A well-trained coach knows how to use the right words so that you are naturally motivated. It doesn’t take brow-beating or nagging when you are working with a skilled life coach. Coaching typically works best with a weekly call/meet so clients have time to integrate new ways of thinking and take action each week toward their goals. The experience is challenging and uplifting. You’ll look forward to your weekly calls/meets with your life coach.

What a Life Coach
can do for you?

The definition of a life coach is a professional who can help you excel in all areas of life. Some of the most common steps clients take while working with life coaches include:

  • Identifying goals and defining a vision for success
  • Creating professional and personal growth plans
  • Identifying limiting beliefs
  • Working toward financial independence
  • Obtaining work/life balance
  • Learning to communicate more succinctly and effectively
  • Fostering more powerful connections professionally and personally
  • Getting promotions
  • Achieving weight loss and/or fitness goals
  • Starting a new business or growing an existing one
  • Managing an important life or business transition
  • Articulating core values

According to a blog post by the hackers, the gang managed to breach the network of the Maryland-based Digital Management Inc, or DMI. This company provides IT and cyber-security services to several Fortune 100 companies and government agencies.

DopplePaymer hackers leaked almost 20 archive files belonging to NASA through a portal operated by the gang, including HR documents and project plans. Some of the employee details matched with public LinkedIn records.

Ransomware threatens to leak stolen data

The report claims that DopplePaymer managed to encrypt about 2,853 servers and workstations during the attack. It could not be independently corroborated whether the entire affected infrastructure is related to NASA.

The modus operandi of this ransomware is similar to that perpetrated by Maze or REvil — It threatens to release targeted company data if the ransom is not paid.

DMI sent the following statement to Cointelegraph about the security incident:

"We recently became aware of a data security incident that affected some of our corporate systems. When we discovered the issue, we immediately took all systems offline, engaged third-party security experts to aid our investigation, and worked to safely restore systems in a manner that protected the security of information on our systems. We are continuing to investigate the incident and we are working to enhance the security of our systems to help prevent this type of incident from occurring in the future."

Speaking with Cointelegraph, Brenda Ferraro, VP of Third-Party Risk at third-party risk management firm Prevalent, commented on NASA’s ransomware attack:

“NASA’s Third-Party Risk Management program must harmonize both threat intelligence and risk assessments to avoid breach incidents root caused by IT contractors, dark web, ransomware, etc. (...) In fact, if NASA’s program does not incorporate cyber and business intelligence as an integral part of their risk program and invoke continuous monitoring and evaluation as a mandatory risk management practice, IT contractor hygiene vulnerability weaknesses will be found by the adversaries.”

Bolstering crypto risk mitigation

On the role that cryptos continue to play in the increase in ransomware attacks, Ferraro said the following:

“During ransomware attacks, crypto threat intelligence plays a critical role in providing a lens on real-time dark and deep web sourced blind spots such as; hidden websites, handles, IP addresses and in some cases physical locations. Without in-the-moment crypto intelligence, the victimized networks are open to activity such as ransomware as a service, money laundering services, etc. in blockchain time.”

Aetna’s former CISO also warned about the current large volume of crypto exchange and its role in the ransomware attacks:

“If you do not bolster the adoption of crypto risk mitigation and use continuous threat intelligence monitoring, the trend of ransomware attacks will instigate the crypto’ wild west’ economy, resulting in securing an uncomplicated landscape for the bad actors to access and sell the information.”

Latest ransomware attacks by other ransomware gangs

 Recently, three US-based universities were targeted by the NetWalker ransomware. Cointelegraph also reported on a ransomware attack perpetrated against Texas-based data center provider, CyrusOne, by the REvil gang.

Mon Pere Disait By Jacques Brel: English Translation

Below is my poetic translation of ‘Mon Pere Disait’ by Jacques Brel.

Collecting Brel (Vol. 2) – The Album

Here’s Volume Two in my series of English language Jacques Brel covers!

Jacques Brel – No. 4 (La Valse A Mille Temps)

Brel’s fourth ‘album’, often referred to as “La Valse A Mille Temps”, was released in 1959. It was Brel’s first album to be released after a legendary performance at the Olympia in Paris which brought Brel much critical acclaim.

Jacques Brel – No. 1

In Brel’s first releases, we see a pattern emerging – and the songs on this EP form the blueprints of many themes that emerge throughout Brel’s career, in particular “Grand Jacques” and “Le Diable (Ca Va)”.

Southern Power acquiring 118-MW Oklahoma wind project developed by Vestas’ NA unit

Southern Power acquiring 118-MW Oklahoma wind project developed by Vestas’ NA unit

The wholesale energy wing of Southern Co. has amped up its utility-scale wind project holdings again.

Southern Power acquired its 15th wind power project. The 118-MW Glass Sands facility is located in Murray County, Oklahoma, and was developed by Steelhead Americas, the North American development arm of Vestas.

“We are proud to announce this new addition to our generation portfolio,” said Southern Power President Bill Grantham. “Glass Sands is a great project for Southern Power as we continue to provide clean renewable energy resources to meet the needs of our customers.”

Atlanta-based Southern now owns five wind farms in Oklahoma. Glass Sands is expected to utilize 28 wind turbines manufactured by Vestas and achieve commercial operation by the fourth quarter.

Once operational, the electricity and associated renewable energy credits generated by the facility will be sold under a power purchase agreement with Amazon.

With the addition of Glass Sands, Southern Power’s wind portfolio consists of more than 2,533 MW of wind generation. Southern Power’s wind facilities are a part of the company’s 4,928-MW renewable fleet, which consists of 43 solar and wind facilities operating or under construction.

Earlier this year, Southern Power acquired its 14th wind project—the 300-MW Deuel Harvest Farm in South Dakota. Invenergy is developed that site which achieved commercial operations in February.

Oklahoma is that nation’s second leading wind energy producer with more than 3,000 MW installed. AEP-owned utilities Public Service Co. of Oklahoma and SWEPCO are also acquiring major projects coming online this year and next.

Good Ol’ Dubyuhnell Matt Bartini ’12 offers favorite scenes of W&L on his custom shirts.

Matt-Bartini-800x533 Good Ol’ DubyuhnellMatt Bartini ’12 (right), Missy Barro ’21 and Jack Jones ’21 pose on the Colonnade in Mayor Clothing’s new Good Ol’ Dubyuhnell button-down.

“The W&L Blue scenes rendered in ink-pen drawings on a crisp, white background were chosen to appeal to our entire tight-knit community of classmates, teammates, alumni, sorority sisters, fraternity brothers, faculty members and the like who walk among these old buildings daily and continue to give the university its vibrancy.”

~Matt Bartini ’12

It really is possible to wear your heart on your sleeve.

This September, Matt Bartini ’12, dropped off the first batch of Good Ol’ Dubyuhnell, custom button-downs made in the USA by his company, Mayor Clothing, created exclusively for the University Store. The shirt features iconic scenes of W&L’s campus and student life, a piece that showcases his love for W&L.

For this shirt, he thought about the moments and places alumni talk about from their time in Lexington. Is it exploring the Virginia countryside with your best college friends, hiking House Mountain, floating down the Maury or watching the sunset behind the sorority houses from Cadaver Bridge? Or recurring experiences, such as strolling through campus from Lee Chapel through the Colonnade, across Cadaver Bridge all the way to the Ruins.

Bartini created his wearable artwork based on those memories. “The goal of any piece we create is for it to speak directly to the people whose story we are telling so they can wear it and share those stories,” he explained. “It’s like when you hear an old song and are immediately taken back in time to when you first heard it. It happens to me every time I listen to The Band or Van Morrison — I always think of my time in Lexington and good ol’ Dubyuhnell.”

Matt-Bartini-1-800x495 Good Ol’ DubyuhnellBartini’s design features drawings of many iconic W&L scenes, including the Colonnade, Lee Chapel and the foot bridge.

Bartini, an economics major and math minor, is the founder and sole owner of Mayor Clothing in Atlanta. His clients have included school stores, wedding couples, resorts, golf course pro shops, clothing stores, yacht clubs and festivals. Each story is illustrated by a local artist, and the custom, upscale garments he creates, including button-downs, quarter-zips and performance polos, each feature local scenes. It is something to wear to brunch, happy hour and group dinners. “It’s a great way to show where you’re from, where you’ve been and who you are, plus it’s an easy conversation starter,” said Kyle McGinnis ’12, a longtime Mayor customer.

The idea for his company first came to Bartini on New Year’s Day 2015 when he was visiting Charleston, South Carolina, for his friend’s annual get-together and wanted a Hawaiian-style, button-down shirt with a Charleston design to commemorate the fun he had on the trip.  Hawaiian shirts have long been iconic symbols of tropical destination vacations and tiki parties, and their dressy-casual vibe was popular with Bartini and his classmates. “They’re comfortable like your favorite t-shirt, but a touch more formal. They’re like go-to-hell pants, which I think Tom Wolfe ’51 coined,” explained Alex Sturges ’12, who was also on Bartini’s Charleston trip.

While working as a consultant for Accenture, Bartini kept wondering, “How do you even make a Hawaiian shirt?” After reading Dale Hope’s classic coffee table book for Hawaiian-shirt enthusiasts, “The Aloha Shirt,” he was inspired by those originals which paint a vivid picture of Hawaii and the remote Pacific island’s unique culture. “I wanted to emulate the best of the Aloha shirt storytelling tradition, level of detail and artistic quality and apply it to my friend’s stories — like that New Year’s trip to Charleston.”

Before Bartini started, he asked friends, family and “anyone I could find on Instagram” for the stories they wanted to see illustrated on clothing. Many shared college stories, and many included memories of W&L.

He listened to his target market and attempted to create a button-down he named Houston Street after a beautiful country road off Route 11. Bartini believed it epitomized bucolic Rockbridge County. It was also a favorite running trail of his and his father, Mike Bartini, director of Financial Aid from 1979-1983. However, that piece was never fully released. “My execution of taking a story, having an artist illustrate it, then adapting it to fabric for a button-down was all wrong — the color, sizing, spacing and scenes just did not work, but I learned a lot from that failed attempt,” Bartini said.

It wasn’t until Bartini tapped into another important resource — W&L’s Entrepreneurship Summit where he could network with other alumni and access the talents of students in the Venture Club — that his W&L button-down began to take shape.

By the 2018 summit, the fourth he had attended, he had seven pieces in his line, and he needed help creating a W&L button-down. “My project was actually rejected by the Venture Club in ’17, but the next year three sophomores in the club, who were also from my old fraternity — my target market — were nice enough to choose my project the second time around,” Bartini said.

Jack Jones ’21, Alex David ’21 and Billy Linthicum ’21 picked up the project and ran with it. “We asked hundreds of W&L students around campus what they liked about the button-downs in their wardrobe, what W&L scenes they loved most and what colors epitomized W&L,” said Jones. “That last one was easy. Everyone said, ‘Blue and White.’”

A unique aspect of Mayor’s pieces is the artwork Bartini commissions from local artists. A portion of each sale goes directly to the artist to ensure they are compensated fairly for their artwork and can continue to create.

Jones introduced Bartini to Missy Barro ’21, an art major, who drew the scenes of campus life and the surrounding landmarks that are near and dear to the W&L community’s hearts. “Her work blew me away,” said Bartini. “Whenever I start work on a particular piece, I look for a local artist intimate with the story’s area and culture — the authenticity shows in the final product.”

Barro was the perfect local artist for Good Ol’ Dubyuhnell. She said she “loves W&L for its Greek Revival architecture and rich history of tradition, honor and civility. I fell asleep drawing these little blue beauties and had dreams of Lee Chapel.” Barro chose a timeless style since “W&L is as rooted in the valley of Virginia as the farmland, rolling hills and Blue Ridge Mountains off in the distance.”

Bartini noted, “The W&L Blue scenes rendered in ink-pen drawings on a crisp, white background were chosen to appeal to our entire tight-knit community of classmates, teammates, alumni, sorority sisters, fraternity brothers, faculty members and the like who walk among these old buildings daily and continue to give the university its vibrancy.”

Charlie Sheen

I do not normally comment on the lives of celebrities, mostly because there is little to learn.  Upon reading about Sheen’s rant on the radio, however, I was compelled to say something.

No one but Sheen’s doctor knows for sure why he has descended into an apparent state of manic ranting.  We may think his comments revolting and his behavior bizarre, but deep down I think all of us know something has gone wrong in Charlie’s mind.

People who allow drugs and alcohol to enter into their lives do so at considerable risk.  It took me until the age of 43 to get that lesson.  Fortunately, I made it through intact, but the experience taught me something valuable–it is a lot easier to have a problem than you think.

We all have a tipping point.  Our tendency to fool ourselves lets bad habits grow stronger.  We say that we don’t drink “that much” or that we just do it “socially.”  Some people make it for years that way, living fairly well.  Some even make it for a lifetime, never completely succumbing to alcoholism.  Then there are the Charlies.

When we pass that tipping point, we lose our grip on reality.  I managed to lie to myself so convincingly that in retrospect, it was downright eerie.  How can someone so dedicated to the truth be so badly fooled?

It’s not that we are not each responsible for getting to that point.  We are.  Yet when I see someone like Charlie Sheen, I stop for a moment before getting all high and mighty.  I remember that it took just the right message at just the right time for me to open my eyes. The only reason I listened was that it was delivered without a hint of judgment or condemnation.  Every year I write a short e-mail thanking the man who threw me that lifeline.

Like a swimmer who underestimates the current, Charlie has swum out too far.  He will not get back without help.  When someone is drowning, we save the lesson for the safety of the beach.

    Some of us do make it out of the fog intact, thankfully. It’s hard to watch others flounder, even people we don’t know, isn’t it? xoxo

    Yes it is, Deb. Yes it is.

Sen. Stivers Calls on LHL to Retract Story

By Richard Nelson

March 7, 2017

At what point does journalism cease being journalism and become something else? That's the question alluded to on the Kentucky Senate Floor by Senate President Robert Stivers. Senator Stivers was so outraged with a Lexington Herald-Leader news story for misreporting and misrepresentation of the truth that he called them out on the Senate floor to retract the story. The usually calm mannered Senator from Eastern Kentucky was incensed and said that "there is nothing that really exceeds the Herald-Leader's ignorance other than their arrogance." The long and the short of it is that John Cheves blamed Senate Republicans for not taking up a bill that addressed a child abuse and neglect situation that took place under a prior administration and one which is much bigger than a single piece of legislate would fix. The piece went beyond journalism and as Stivers said, got into the realm of "gotcha politics" something we could do without.

The Role of Liquidity in Cryptocurrency Exchange

This article examines the role liquidity plays in a cryptocurrency exchange, why it’s important and highlights some of the key factors that affect liquidity in order to give a basic understanding of how it works.

What is Liquidity?

Liquidity is a common term used in the financial markets and can best be described as how easily an asset can be swapped for cash. When seen in the context of cryptocurrency liquidity it’s how easily coins can be exchanged into cash or other coins. Hence, the market can present either high or low liquidity levels. High liquidity occurs in situations where there is a stable market and few price fluctuations. Conversely, with low liquidity levels there is market volatility present which can cause spikes in the price of cryptocurrencies.
