Egg Freezing

(703) 437.7722 | Highest Success Rates • Personal Attention • Affordable Treatment

Plan ahead for your future fertility with egg freezing

Egg freezing, or oocyte preservation, is a proven technology that allows women to freeze their eggs and store them for use in the future. At Virginia Center for Reproductive Medicine, we are able to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs and retrieve them from your ovaries.

Egg freezing and IVF, when the time is right, helps women achieve the goal of a pregnancy on their terms and timeline.

Your biological clock is a reality; freezing your eggs stops it

VCRM is pleased to announce its new financial program to encourage women to freeze their eggs for fertility preservation. Our unique program allows you to pay 50% of the fee at treatment start and then pay the other 50% in monthly installments over one year with zero financing charge. This should help make this process within financial reach for most working women. For more details about our innovative program please call the office at 703-437-7722 or email us at
We want women to be informed about fertility and the reasons why egg freezing can help. A woman’s fertility begins to decline in her early 20s and continues to progressively decline until she is in her late 30s, when fertility steeply declines.

Deteriorating fertility can’t be reversed, but egg freezing gives you the potential to avert the risks by preserving younger eggs. The age of a woman’s eggs is directly related to the chances for getting pregnant.

At our Virginia fertility center, we encourage women to pursue egg freezing before age 38. After age 38, there are often fewer viable eggs available to be retrieved and preserved, necessitating multiple attempts to freeze enough eggs.

Who is a good candidate for elective egg freezing?

Women may choose egg freezing for many different reasons.

  • Single women in their late 20s and early-to-mid 30s who want to have a family in the future
  • Women with a strong family history of early menopause or premature ovarian failure
  • Women with ovarian endometriomas or recurring ovarian cysts
  • Women undergoing fertility treatment who would prefer to freeze eggs, not embryos

Now that this procedure has been proven to be a safe and reliable procedure, some women choose to use frozen eggs during IVF at our Virginia fertility center. Our laboratory staff performs a reliable, state-of-the-art technique called vitrification to freeze unfertilized eggs that can be fertilized at a later time.

We were pioneers in the process of freezing eggs

VCRM was the first fertility center in the DC metro area to offer egg freezing in 2003. Dr. Fady Sharara, our dual board certified fertility specialist, and our experienced laboratory team will oversee your procedure. If you are considering egg freezing, contact us. The future is in your hands.

The following are the five spiritual principles of Reiki for living, written by the Meiji Emperor to repeat and contemplate daily.

Just for today, let go of anger
Just for today, let go of your worries
Just for today, be filled with gratitude for your Blessings
Just for today, work hard, with devotion
Just for today, be kind to all living beings

Reiki is the Essence of Divinity. It is Universal, Divine Loving Light. Reiki is an energy which is loving and healing. It is given with unconditional love, it has full knowledge of where it is needed and will bring a sense of peace, healing and harmony within the mind, body and soul. It heals on all levels of existence, Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual. None are excluded in the healing.

Reiki is a Japanese word, which is made up of two Kanji syllables; Rei (pronounced Ray) which means Universal or God’s Wisdom and Ki (pronounced Key) which, when translated means Spiritually guided Life force energy. The meaning then of Reiki is Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki originated in Japan in the early 1900’s by its founder Dr Mikao Usui.

Reiki is not a religion, nor is it associated with any religious philosophy or race, in fact Reiki practitioners from all ethnic backgrounds have used it as it compliments their spiritual practice of healing.
A Reiki Practitioner living by the Principles of Reiki will have a peaceful demeanor and a love for others, the planet and all living creatures.

The Reiki channel does not diagnose, they will be guided intuitively to direct the healing on all levels.
Reiki assists the body to heal and rejuvenate itself.

Reiki Courses

The Reiki Channel

The Reiki channel has a broad knowledge of the Chakra system, the main energy centres in the body, which are associated with organs and all systems within the body. Positive and negative factors in life have a direct effect on the chakras and consequently on the organs and the general wellbeing within the body. Reiki brings about balance within the chakras in order to complete the healing and create total harmony and inner peace.

There are three levels of Degrees and Initiations.

Reiki I Shoden, Certificate Level

This is the initiation as a Reiki channel, bringing you in tune with the very essence of your being. In this course you learn of the origin of Usui Ryoho Reiki and will experience the awakening of the Universal Life Force Energy within you and clear any obstructions. You will receive four Attunements during the course of the day, the awakening to the Reiki energy. You will learn of the seven chakras and the colour, location and the organs associated with each one of them.

Reiki II Okuden, Certificate Level

At this level you will receive two attunements, the initiation into three Reiki symbols used during a Reiki treatment and when and how to use them, and the transmission of Reiki Light energy to a recipient unable to be present. This is the knowledge of distance healing.
If you have completed your level one certificate and feel you are ready to take your practice to the next level, go to the link below and send an email describing your experience and commitment.

Reiki Master / Teacher Level Certificate Level

Reiki Master level is Living, BEing and Doing all there is with Reiki in your heart and soul. Learn the Master symbol, which holds all other symbols within it and receive the Master attunement.
This level is for the Reiki Practitioners who have a passion and longing to pass on the Reiki tradition of teaching to others. Learn how to pass attunements. Also included in the weekend, learn the ancient art of Ear Candling and much, much more!
If you can demonstrate your commitment to the principles of Living, Being and Doing all there is with Reiki, then you are ready to take the final step of becoming a practicing Reiki Master. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

Meet the Mechanic

Rob West has been in the cycling industry for nearly 20 years, professionally fitting, advising and working on bikes since 2000. His passion for cycling and helping athletes reach their highest performance levels began at REI where he started as a bike mechanic, ski tuner and racing mountain bikes at the expert level. Rob later became an avid road and TT rider competing in many triathlons over the years.

Following his passion and seeing the trends in the industry, Rob moved to Indianapolis in 2007, bought a struggling LBS and transformed it into a very successful high end triathlon and road bike store. That is where Rob began professionally fitting elite athletes, avid cyclist and recreational cyclist alike. Rob is one of just a handful of fitters in Midwest trained and certified by Retul, SBCU (Specialized Bicycle Components University) and FIST, which philosophies and methodologies focus on properly fitting body geometry, comfort and power with the bicycle to achieve ultimate performance. Over the last 10 years, Rob has helped many elite racers and athletes, including two Ironman World Champions, achieve higher performance levels on the bike by customizing their unique body geometry fit to the right bike.

Rob moved back to Michigan in 2012 to be closer to his family and help a struggling bike shop return to profitability. After working several years with “brick and mortar” bike shops and seeing the trends in the industry moving toward mass merchants, on-line purchasing and mobility, Rob knew it was time to partner with a mobile bike company and financial partner who shared his philosophy of personalized customer service. Rob believes in giving the same quality care and personal service to every customer he serves from the elite athlete to the recreational rider.

PvP chat is still a public channel, so the concern would still apply IMO.

Confronting the Growing Cybersecurity Risks in Healthcare

Confronting the Growing Cybersecurity Risks in Healthcare

With healthcare systems around the globe overburdened by the pandemic, hospitals and other healthcare organizations became prime targets for cybercrime.

This threat grew in tandem with the coronavirus through 2020. The CISA, FBI and HHSa issued a Joint Cybersecurity Advisory in late October, warning of an increased and imminent risk of ransomware attacks to US hospitals and healthcare providers.

Unfortunately, they were right to sound the alarm.  Cybersecurity company Check Point Software reported in January that in the final two months of 2020, there had been a 45% increase in attacks targeting healthcare organizations globally—more than double the overall increase in cyberattacks across all industry sectors worldwide.

Canadian healthcare in particular was under assault. Organizations in that country experienced the most dramatic increase of any in the world, with a 250% spike in attacks.

Healthcare in the crosshairs

To date, the ransomware attacks largely use the Ryuk variant, specifically tailored and targeted for healthcare organizations. According to Check Point Research:

“Unlike most ransomware which is distributed via massive spam campaigns and Exploit Kits, Ryuk is used exclusively for tailored attacks. Its encryption scheme is intentionally built for small-scale operations, such that only crucial assets and resources are infected in each targeted network and distribution is carried out manually. The malware encrypts files stored on PCs, storage servers and data centers.”

Hospitals are getting hit because they’re likely to be more willing to pay ransom right now. With the pandemic straining the healthcare system, they can’t let an IT disruption prevent them from providing care.

The healthcare sector is also more vulnerable due to its rapid adoption of new temporary locations, processes and personnel—organizations have a challenge training everyone.

But Sumit Bhatia, director of communications and knowledge mobilization with Toronto-based Cybersecure Catalyst has noted that many healthcare systems run on legacy technology that make them less capable of stopping sophisticated attacks.

Protecting virtual healthcare systems

For healthcare organizations offering virtual care services, security is a top priority. Early in the pandemic, as patients requested remote appointments, health practitioners were rightly reluctant to introduce consultations over traditional video-calling platforms due to privacy concerns.

Instead, organizations have to find ways to securely integrate telemedicine platforms with existing proprietary systems that hold data, test results, and patient information.

The latest wave of ransomware attacks makes clear that healthcare organizations need to remain on guard. As Bhatia noted, “Right now we’ve just adopted [technology systems] for the model of efficiency, not for models of security. We are focused on delivering care, not necessarily delving into cybersecurity issues.”

It’s vital that as demand for telemedicine grows, healthcare organizations must develop risk-informed cyber strategies that include performing comprehensive risk assessments to determine if a virtual care platform poses any additional security exposure.

Secure by design

One of VidyoHealth’s fundamental advantages has always been security, both on-premise and in the cloud. As such, VidyoHealth is a HIPAA compliant solution.

VidyoHealth maintains an information security governance policy designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of information.

The built-in security measures range from user authentication/login and segregated management to encryption for passwords, signaling and media.

Specific security features include:

  • SRTP media encryption
  • FIPS 140-2 certified libraries
  • Secure HTTPS login utilizing industry-standard PKI
  • TLS using strong encryption ciphers for signaling
  • Password hashing in database
  • Encrypted token technology for session security
  • No login information retained on the client

You can find complete details about the extensive measures taken in the Vidyo security white paper.

Remote Patient Monitoring: How At-Capacity Hospitals Utilize Telehealth

Remote Patient Monitoring: How At-Capacity Hospitals Utilize Telehealth

Hospitals must plan for every possible emergency health scenario. When large numbers of gravely ill or injured patients begin flooding their Emergency Department, they need to be ready to respond without hesitation—lives are at stake.

Communities around the world experienced this almost simultaneously with COVID-19 outbreaks. Public health measures designed to reduce the spread—from mask wearing to full lockdowns—were not only meant to protect people’s health. They were also intended to prevent an overwhelming demand that would impact other aspects of local health systems. Big waves tend to swamp everything in their path.

Indeed, many hospitals delayed non-urgent treatments and surgeries to ensure there would be enough beds for COVID-19 patients and recruited health professionals from other departments to help  treat them.

Early in the pandemic, the CDC also recommended that health care providers implement virtual methods of offering clinical services—specifically telehealth.

As the agency published in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report: “Telehealth could have multiple benefits during the pandemic by expanding access to care…and reducing patient demand on facilities. Telehealth policy changes might continue to support increased care access during and after the pandemic.”

Surge Capacity Strategies

Every hospital has surge capacity strategies in place to manage sudden spikes in demand for their services. Viral outbreaks are only one potential cause. Catastrophes like a high-rise fire, severe weather event, industrial explosion or any disaster that impacts a large group of people in an area could require hospitals to treat more patients than their usual volume.

To expand capacity, a hospital has four options

  1. Decrease demand (i.e. divert patients to another hospital)
  2. Establish alternate care facilities (like a field hospital or a hotel)
  3. Minimize resource consumption by admitted patients
  4. Establish treatment areas in unconventional locations within the hospital.

Many health systems have learned through managing the COVID-19 crisis that telehealth, including video conferencing, can play a vital role in surge capacity planning.

How Telehealth Expands Capacity

The Society of Critical Care Medicine recommends understanding and designing solutions for specific use cases, including:

  • Teleconferencing with patients or expert consultants
  • Remote patient monitoring
  • Forecasting and triage
  • Implementation of severity of illness scores (i.e. APACHE
  • Bedside clinical decision support
  • Regional coordination of care

A component of pre-surge planning is to choose how telehealth programs will be implemented: Outward toward the community; inward toward units within the system; or into the homes of patients.

The right telehealth platform will accommodate all of these scenarios, with highly accessible user interfaces that simplify communication between patient and health care providers.

In the specific context of the pandemic, remote patient monitoring has helped protect nursing staff caring for patients in isolation rooms. But telemedicine allows health systems to load balance and offload clinical work from bedside clinicians. Remote clinicians can monitor and round on low- to moderate-risk patients and help triage bedside clinician activities.

Plan for the Next Surge

Every health crisis teaches us something new. One of the big lessons of COVID-19 pandemic has been the critical role of new technologies that enable health systems to minimize risks and manage capacity. With remote patient monitoring in place, health providers had the confidence to send recovering patients home 12 or 24 hours earlier, freeing up beds.

Hospitals have gained vital experience for post-pandemic planning. Expanding the use of remote patient monitoring and virtual health platforms helps prepare for the next crisis. When health care professionals of all stripes adopt and use the many forms of telemedicine, it increases their familiarity of its capabilities. When the next surge strains the capacity of health systems, they will be ready to respond with the best strategies at hand.

How to Approach U.S. Federal Telehealth Grants in 2021

How to Approach U.S. Federal Telehealth Grants in 2021

To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to treat patients, hospitals across America made an effort to expand their telehealth services in 2020. According to a McKinsey Report, consumer adoption of telehealth surged from only 11% in 2019 to 46% in 2020, while virtual visits increased up to 175 times. Virtual visits not only help to reduce exposure to COVID-19 but also help medical professionals extend vital care and monitoring to patients not affected by the virus.

Unfortunately, public health circumstances also brought a great strain to healthcare system budgets. With elective procedures suspended for much of 2020, already thin hospital margins fell to an estimated -3% in the second quarter of 2020.

Even with government funding distributed through the CARES Act, Kaufman Hall projects that up to half of US hospitals could sustain negative margins without further support.

While it’s clear that telehealth services are both needed to cope with the pandemic and have long-term care merits, cash-strapped hospitals may struggle to maintain and support these programs in 2021.

To offer the highest quality of care now and in the future, providers can explore federal grants and reimbursement programs to fund telehealth services.

How Has COVID-19 Changed the Telehealth Funding Landscape?

To help medical providers stay afloat and offer vital service during the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government distributed $175 billion of funding to hospitals through the CARES Act in 2020.

Beyond this, in March of 2020, Congress allocated $200 million to the Federal Communications Commission to establish a COVID-19 Telehealth Program for connected services. This Telehealth Program is now being extended into 2021 with an additional $249.95 million in federal funding.

More telehealth funding opportunities are available through and the Rural Health Information Hub.

So what’s changed with telehealth funding and grant opportunities since the onset of the pandemic? Here are a few things that stand out:

  • Funding programs have expanded
  • Eligible care scenarios have expanded
  • Funding is being disbursed, or reimbursed, more quickly
  • Government agencies not typically responsible for telehealth funding are overseeing the programs

What hasn’t changed?

  • There is still a 60-day waiting period between application and award
  • The earlier you apply, the more likely you are to receive the award
  • You still need a strategic plan to apply for the award and support the program

Make a Plan to Pursue Telehealth Funding

To successfully pursue time-sensitive funding opportunities, your organization should have a proactive grants team in place to execute the grant strategy and application process. For larger organizations, this team may be coordinated through a Centralized Grants Office or an Office of Sponsored Programs. For smaller organizations or organizations with limited grants experience, this team may need to be built from scratch. A grants champion should drive the effort and coordinate stakeholders. But a champion doesn’t win without his or her team.

Key team members should include:

  • IT lead

  • Program staff
  • Community outreach
  • Grant writer
  • Senior management
  • Budget/finance officer

This team works together to determine the feasibility and the fit of the funding opportunity.

Self-assessment Questions for Funding Opportunities

Before you get started, answer some self-assessment questions to determine whether or not to pursue a certain funding opportunity:

Are we eligible for this grant/funding opportunity?

Will this funding help us solve a specific medical or services need?

Will we be able to comply with the post-award requirements?

Do we have the cash flow for any necessary upfront purchases (for reimbursement programs)?

Will we be able to sustain the program after funding expires?

The sum of these questions boils down to this: don’t chase money that isn’t a good fit. It takes time and resources to apply for funding — avoid waste by selecting funding opportunities according to need and capacity to support the funded program.

Next Steps to Obtain Telehealth Funding

When it comes to federal funding opportunities, the early bird gets the worm, so it pays to have your ducks in a row. In addition to having your grants team in place, you’ll need to take care of some administrative tasks. This includes registering and setting up accounts on and You should also prepare your articles of incorporation, and evidence of 501(c)(3) status (if applicable) for any application.

Expanded funding for telehealth represents a pivotal opportunity for providers to extend their virtual care services in 2021. Position your organization to win funding by applying early with a strategic plan.

This Valentine’s Day, Take Telemedicine to Heart with Cardiac Patient Monitoring

This Valentine’s Day, Take Telemedicine to Heart with Cardiac Patient Monitoring

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, a day when matters of the heart are front and center. For doctors, their patients’ hearts are always among their primary concerns.

Each year, 1 in four deaths in America is due to heart disease, making it the leading cause of death for men and women. About 805,000 Americans will likely have a heart attack this year, and about 1 in 5 heart attacks will be silent, meaning that the person won’t even know of the damage done.

To help manage the conditions that underly these often tragic and life-altering health events, it’s important that doctors identify heart disease early and closely monitor the patient. Unfortunately, the reality of human behavior can get in the way.

The challenges of patient monitoring

To successfully treat heart disease, as well as conditions related to cardiovascular disease (CVD), health professionals encourage patients to make lifestyle changes and continue a regular course of medication. They also require regular follow-ups. Despite the obvious potential health benefits provided by regular doctor appointments and tests, clinic visits can present an imposition on daily life. Not surprisingly, patient compliance is a common issue, which then reduces the likelihood that the patient will stick to the course of treatment.

With the pandemic, that situation only grew worse. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the challenges health systems already face monitoring heart disease and CVD.  Clinic visits and elective procedures were suspended, and patients delayed seeking care out of concern that the coronavirus posed an even greater health risk. As two CVD-specialist doctors recently wrote for the American College of Cardiology:

“[The pandemic] has led to disruption in every aspect of cardiovascular care delivery.…The adverse impact on cardiovascular care delivery and outcomes will likely be long-lasting if our health systems do not adapt quickly and efficiently.”

How telehealth offers a new window into the heart

Telehealth is one key way health systems are adapting. It also provides a path to overcoming some of the systemic barriers to monitoring heart disease and CVD.

With the right technology, physical distance can almost be erased, providing a personal interaction between doctor and patient. Telehealth offers the ability to remotely monitor conditions that contribute to heart attack and stroke, providing an opportunity to implement primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention without trips to the clinic..

Patients can get any tests done prior to the appointment at a lab close to their home, or measure their blood pressure with an automatic blood pressure cuff at home, their local pharmacy or senior center.

Quite simply, telehealth appointments are more convenient than in-person clinic visits, for both doctors and patients. Doctors can review test results and discuss face-to-face with the patient about how to manage their condition.

In the future, remote monitoring of health data using wireless-enabled devices that measure a person’s weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse, and heart rhythm could further advance telehealth’s promise.

How Vidyo enables cardiac and cardiovascular care

To implement a successful approach to telehealth, patients must have access to a secure but inviting and natural interface for patients to review their health information with their doctors and family.  This empowers health providers to enhance patient satisfaction, improve the quality of care they can deliver, and protect patients’ privacy.

Behind the scenes, a telehealth platform must seamlessly integrate into a health system’s clinical workflow.

Vidyo Telehealth is purpose-built for healthcare organizations and securely integrates with systems, devices, and software, enabling virtual specialty care, including cardiology. It enables medical professionals to collaborate, consult with patients, and provide real-time care and education to patients.

For example, the VidyoConnect Patient Room Experience provides a high-quality video environment that allows patients to connect with medical professionals and family members virtually. The HIPPA-compliant solution enables patients to attend scheduled meetings with family members which increases the patient’s ability to adhere to treatment protocols.

Vidyo + Ignis Health: The Power of High-Quality Telehealth Video Delivery And Data Analytics Combined

Vidyo + Ignis Health: The Power of High-Quality Telehealth Video Delivery And Data Analytics Combined

Now that telehealth has become part of the “new normal” during the coronavirus, healthcare institutions face a new challenge: How do we make sense of all this new telehealth data?

Enter Ignis Health.

Ignis Health shines when it comes to collecting data from these interactions and making it easily accessible for analysis. It provides the platform for healthcare institutions to retain, collect, measure, and, ultimately, utilize all their telehealth data.

Combining Vidyo’s repository of telehealth video, Clinical Data Repositories (CDRs), Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), healthcare Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and billing systems with Ignis Health’s data analytics capabilities creates exciting new potential. Healthcare providers can now pull meaningful insights that they can use to optimize their operational, service delivery, and financial performance.

Challenges with telehealth analytics

The decisions that need to be made using telehealth data can sometimes have life or death consequences. This is why in today’s quickly evolving healthcare landscape, access to comprehensive, accurate, and timely reporting for telehealth is critical.

As telehealth interactions increase, healthcare providers need to include important questions in their virtual healthcare processes, such as:

  • Which modalities, treatments, or programs were most effective?
  • How did patients interact with particular healthcare delivery systems?
  • Which measures are financially sustainable, and which are not?

However, implementing this mode of questioning into healthcare practices effectively has been difficult for institutions to achieve for several reasons. First, there are regulations that make implementation more tricky. These regulations act as policy barriers related to privacy, security, compliance, and Medicare coverage.

Adoption has also been part of the issue. There are patient-physician concerns about the need for in-person contact in order to make accurate diagnoses. Patients are concerned about how their sensitive information will be handled by telehealth analytics platforms. Another barrier is the lack of time to implement proper data governance and data integrity guidelines. The need for additional training to integrate telehealth analytics into their operations can be burdensome for most providers with typically tight schedules.

Finally, there is a disparity in the availability of technological solutions that pass quality standards that are not always compatible or easy to integrate with each other. In studies cited by the Brookings Institution, many institutions lack access to cutting-edge tools, especially ones that are easy to set up for enterprise-wide use while maintaining high security standards.

How COVID changed things

The global pandemic forced governments and healthcare providers to make a considerable effort to embrace telehealth on a much wider scale — and fast. The ensuing demand for telehealth was apparent. According to Frost and Sullivan research cited by CNBC, telehealth appointments grew 50% in March 2020 alone.

To help do our part as a video solutions provider, we decided to partner with an established data analytics company, Ignis Health, to provide a secure and comprehensive (yet user-friendly) suite of telehealth solutions to the embattled healthcare institutions that need us. All that’s left is to bridge the gap between demand and solution.

How Vidyo offers solutions

The partnership between Vidyo and Ignis Health led to the creation of the Telehealth Resource Program (TRP). TRP supports enterprise-wide telehealth analytics by allowing healthcare institutions to unlock the full potential and financial benefits of telehealth in the most secure way possible.

TRP’s comprehensive dashboard also makes it easier to spot inefficiencies — and opportunities — in operations, healthcare results, and financial sustainability. This way, you get the concrete data you need to confidently invest in the virtual health programs that are most effective. Also, TRP automates data collection, data visualization, clinical documentation, reimbursement, and reporting from Vidyo CDRs, easing the burden from healthcare practitioners who used to spend significant time doing these manually.

Overall, TRP delivers a two-pronged solution by giving healthcare providers the tools to make telehealth data useful for healthcare decisions, while providing you with useful information to understand and optimize your telehealth clinical services.

Interested in using TRP for your own telehealth solutions?

Australia’s first legal trout cod fishery

We witnessed something pretty special in August last year when the Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews and the Minister responsible for fisheries, Jaala Pulford officially opened the recreational trout cod fishery at Lake Kerferd and Lake Sambell near Beechworth in North East Victoria.

Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister Jaala Pulford releasing trout cod

In recent decades, State and Commonwealth governments along with recreational anglers have started to rebuild trout cod populations through stocking and habitat restoration efforts. Recreational licence fees have been used to stock trout cod into these lakes since 2008 with the intention of creating a put and take fishery for anglers to catch, as opposed to a self-sustaining population.

The official opening implemented part of the National Trout Cod Recovery Plan and is one of the key initiatives of the Government’s Target One Million policy to get more people fishing, more often.

We have plenty of examples where the ability to legally catch and keep a fish has been taken away. This is a real example where a fishery was re-opened and angler access was reinstated This is a great outcome for recreational fishers and the fishing related tourism benefits will be significant.

Soon after the opening, VRFish received numerous calls from interstate fishers that can’t wait to catch a trout cod from these stocked fisheries.

Trout cod are threatened in the river systems and will remain closed to recreational fishers. Importantly, these stocked impoundments will not impact wild populations and new controls were introduced to ensure the resource is shared between fishers.

Distinguishing Murray cod from trout cod can be done by referring to these signs.

In partnership with Native Fish Australia, VRFish ran a survey of fishers about their expectations for the fishery. This information showed fishers would love to be able to go out and catch trout cod and take their kids fishing (most of whom may never have seen or caught a trout cod before).

Keeping in mind that most anglers will choose to carefully return any legal size trout cod to these waters, it was a common response that the key objective for the fishery should be the continued recovery of the trout cod populations. The survey information was used by Fisheries Victoria, to help set a minimum size limit of 40 cm, a maximum size limit of 50 cm and a catch and possession limit of one fish per angler.

Kansas City Election Board requests community feedback on KCPS redistricting process.

Updated: Jul 8, 2018

In April of 2019, the KCPS School Board will be reduced from nine to seven members.

This will bring the School Board in line with state law. The current School Board includes six sub-district members and three at-large.

The new Board will be comprised of five members representing sub-districts and two at-large members. To accommodate that change, the sub-district boundaries will be redrawn.

This redistricting process will be planned and carried out by consultants hired by the Kansas City Board of Election Commissioners. The consultants will hold a series of presentations and engagement meetings with the public in order to share proposed new sub-district boundaries and gather feedback in the spring and summer of 2018.

The consultants will then make final recommendations and the Election Board is scheduled to approve the new School Board sub-district boundaries by the end of August. All seven School Board seats will be open for the April 2019 municipal elections.

The Kansas City Board of Election Commissioners voted on May 17 to winnow down an initial set of six proposed new Kansas City Public Schools Board of Directors sub-districts to three draft maps. Those maps can be viewed below.

Public feedback on these drafts is being sought at engagement meetings this summer.

Input can also be submitted by email at kcpsredistricting@kceb.org or by calling the Election Commission at (816) 842-4820.

Draft Redistricting Maps:

It is very important that KCPS parents and other community stakeholders participate in the Election Board's engagement process in order to learn more about the proposed sub-district boundaries and contribute input. The final boundaries will have a significant impact on the composition of the new School Board.

Public participation in the redistricting process will help ensure that all community members are represented with equity.

Edith Cavell Pilgrimage Walk at Marston Marshes

The Edith Cavell Pilgrimage Walk starts from St. Mary's Church, Swardeston and finishes at Norwich Cathedral.
Including a short diversion to Norwich Market, the walk will be between eight and ten miles.
My GPS actually recorded 11 miles covered between Swardeston War Memorial outside St. Mary's Church, and Edith Cavell's grave at Life's Green, Norwich Cathedral. I did, however, explore Swardeston village, Church and Common, as well as part of Marston Marshes.

The total at the top of the page is my total for both the day's walk (13.5 miles) and the Norwich Circular Walk (4.5 miles) as, living locally, I continued my walk to Bishop's Bridge, which crosses the River Wensum, and walked home from there.

The village of Swardeston is where Edith Cavell was born and lived as a child. Her father was the Vicar of the Parish. The walk includes her birth place, home and church. Her name is also carved on the Village War Memorial and her parents are now buried in the churchyard.

The walk takes you from the church past the cricket ground to the Common. It is important to pass the Common to it's eastern (right-hand) edge towards Intwood. (It would be easy to go left towards East Carleton which will take you well out of your way. Cavell House is just on your right hand side after the road junction.

01 Swardeston Cavell House_1741 web.jpg
Cavell House - Edith Cavell's birthplace

The route continues towards Intwood, crossing the ford (pedestrian footbridge) towards Intwood Church. Intwood Hall may be seen from the churchyard and a very picturesque gatehouse for the hall is passed by on the way towards the A47. Cross by the road bridge and then almost immediately take the bridlepath on your right back towards the A47. You are screened from the traffic but neither its noise, nor its fumes. The bridleway can be very muddy in places but it's the only stretch of the walk where this is a problem. After about 500 metres take the track up to your left. This leads to Keswick Hall and Keswick Mill.

After crossing the level crossing, go up Church Lane and then turn right onto Marston Lane. A short cut across the Marshes is mentioned - don't bother in the winter months unless you have wellies and don't mind wading through water. Marston Lane is excellent walking between the marshes and Eaton Golf Course. This section of the walk is coincident with part of the Yare Valley Walk (an account of which I will post shortly) and well signed. At the top of the hill turn left into Danby Woods I picked my way through the woods (lots of paths) but there was a car park some 50 metres further on and I suspect that the best route goes off to the left from here. You come out at a common. At the top of the hill, in the far left corner is a track which allows you to avoid walking alongside the A140 Ipswich Road for a few hundred metres. After that there is no real alternative other than to walk alongside the Ipswich Road for the best part of two miles into the centre of Norwich (anybody who jumps a bus for this two mile section should be readily forgiven - it cannot be described as pleasant walking by any stretch of the imagination. Norwich City College and the former Norfolk and Norwich Hospital provide some interest along the way.

Main Entrance of the former Norfolk and Norwich Hospital

Once in the City, the walking is pleasant and the route veers to left to take you past the Open Air Market. It's an ideal place to find lunch. There is excellent "street food" to be found here at very reasonable prices. In addition to the expected offerings of fish and chips and All-day English Breakfasts, Thai, Indian and Spanish food may be found here. There are also (lockdowns permitting) good pubs, bars and cafes around the outside of the Market.
The Cathedral is just a short walk away and the route well signed. For this walk I'd recommend entering The Close by the Erpingham Gate (the lower, and slightly more distant of the two.) The main memorial to Edith Cavell is just outside the gate.

Edith Cavell's grave is located at Life's Green at the back of the Cathedral. It may be found by walking anti-clockwise around the Cathedral.

Circular Walk Norwich
This circular walk includes some additional locations included on the Edith Cavell Pilgrimage Cycle Route as well as the best section of the medieval city wall. If that doesn't interest you there is an obvious short cut, or you can just return from the station to the Cathedral on the opposite side of the river to the one that you took going out. Access to the Parkway on the far side of the river from the station is by The Complete Angler. This path is locked at night.

Completing both walks in one day would be quite feasible for a strong walker as, together, they should still be under 15 miles.

If you continue walking around the Cathedral you will come to a quiet road that will lead you to the medieval Bishop's Bridge and the Wensum River Parkway. This may be followed (either side of the river) to Pull's Ferry and Norwich Rail Station.

Note: The map provided is an artist's impression and though useful, has limitations and needs to be "interpreted". In use, it also appeared to be inconsistent with regard to scale. It is much better to "mark up" a 1:25,000 OS map prior to starting the walk, especially as way marking, though present, is limited and often missing where you could really do with it. The leaflet includes information pertaining to Edith Cavell and buildings and monuments associated with her, but directions are generally conspicuous by their absence.

Re: Norfolk: Edith Cavell Pilgrimage Walk

Thanks so much for this. I'd never heard of this route but love the journey you describe, especially those fabulous Norfolk church towers. I was a student at UEA 1970-73 and later developed a love for hills and Munros especially (compleated 2012). Was back in Norfolk a few years ago, and the delight is that it's mostly still unspoiled.
As a patriot, I love the Edith Cavell story -- but I know that patriotism is not enough!

“A cold and windy day that allowed Chris to reduce his tally of Wainwright’s by two and now leaving just Tarn Crag and Place Fell to complete his 4 year mission.”

It is nearly 16 months since I typed those words at the end of my WH report of a walk that Chris and I did covering King’s How, Grange Fell/Brund Fell, and Great Crag on Wednesday 8th January 2020, and because it was a bit of a rough descent he spit the dummy out and decided to go all ill on me again for the next 16 months, our last walk together until today, when once again we enjoyed a walk over the fells on a glorious day with weather that was meant to be on his return after a long bout of illness that involved major surgery, a lengthy doss in the ICU, months of treatment, medication, and inactivity that combined to take its toll on him over that 16 months and it did look at one point that he wouldn’t get to the end of his mission and total of the magic number 214.

Chris once jokingly mentioned that he might stop at 213 just to leave himself and others frustrated and wondering why he’d stopped short of the total, well here we are at 213, all done and dusted, but with a reminder that ‘many a true word is spoken in jest’.

During that time we have been in constant touch with each other, albeit at a distance due to Covid-19, with Chris too ill and shielding plus travel restrictions in the pot it was to be contact by social media only. A week or so into April this year he mentioned that he would like to have a go at a ‘training’ walk in the LD, just to get a feel of things, to see how his body would hold up, so I suggested a steady and gentle walk up to Walla Crag from Dodd Wood car park making our way below Walla Crag to Ashness Bridge then a short and easy climb up the fellside and along to Walla Crag that way as the route gives good views all the way around. The reply that I got back was, ”Mmm! was thinking of Tarn Crag myself” so after a moment’s pause and asking him if he was sure I got it organised enlisting the help of Martin in case of emergencies. So it’s been a long hard slog back to this point but meeting him once again in Grasmere in comforting sight of those now having to pay for public toilets was worth the wait especially as he gave me the 20p to gain entry into aforesaid loos. The cost for the same function in Keswick is now 40p which is scandalous especially as they are supposedly ‘public toilets’.

He has had a stroll or two up Roseberry Topping and to Captain Cook’s Monument as dummy runs over the last few weeks but the one who calls the shots insisted that as it’s a long drive for him and his first ‘proper’ walk for a long time he had to take someone along with him ‘just in case’. So the team was organised with me, Martin, and son Connor as today’s minders just to make sure that he didn’t have a rush of blood and do himself an injury in his enthusiasm to get boots back on the fells. The only one missing is Sonny, Chris’s pooch who unfortunately has a problem with his back legs, probably similar to mine after a few pints.

It was a glorious day as we were met with warm sunshine finding its way easily through the scattered clouds as we left a quiet Grasmere and began the walk along Easedale Road on our way to open countryside. There were a few itinerant walkers about, locals with dogs and others with more intent being booted and bagged up like ourselves. It’s a good steady walk along the road up to the old slate footbridge across Easedale Beck into Easedale proper followed by a decent walk in towards Brimmer Head Farm, just what’s needed to get sluggish legs moving in a decent rhythm. Everything was looking spring like with the bright new leaves popping out of fat buds, daffodils fading as other more local plants were just about coming into flower, there was also a song in the air as the birds geared up for love, the hedgerows a hive of hidden activity as they went about their business of home building for the nurturing of the future generations. Spring has certainly sprung in the Lake District and been confirmed when we heard the call of a Cuckoo echoing across the dale.

We stopped for a moment at Steel Bridge to get this shot of Helm Crag.

Once past the farm we were on the fells proper with the path making for an easy ascent along the side of the crystal clear waters of Easedale Beck before it morphed into Sourmilk Gill in its higher reaches and this is where at the 180 metre point we met two chaps that had just climbed out of a sparkling pool below Ecton Crag that is constantly filled by a lovely little waterfall.

ImageClear and enticing pool at 180 metres but cold

A look back from this point gave way to a great view of the green pastures of Easedale.

ImageSour Milk Gill and Easedale

We kept up a steady if not fast pace taking about an hour to reach Easedale Tarn, a pace that proved not too challenging for Chris at this point. A couple of stops to take a photo or two seemed in order on this lovely warm and sunny day with Tarn Crag just peeping over the north western skyline ahead and the great western ridge of the Fairfield Round behind us.

Another few minutes and we had arrived at Easedale Tarn with today’s target just across the water, nearly within touching distance, but no touching yet for a while as we are going to gain the top by taking the longer way round and a little more climbing before we get the pleasure of taking in the views from the summit of Tarn Crag. There were a few other walkers either sat or stood around the beautifully calm waters of the tarn where we decided to take a break ourselves as we watched two pairs of walkers toiling up the grassy fellside below Greathead Crag. There are one or two intermittent paths going that way but it can be a toil and it’s much more interesting to carry on past the tarn and take in the scenery of the crags of Blea Rigg, Belle Knot, and Great Castle How.

ImageBlea Rigg - Eagle Crag to Belle Knot skyline

A decent break and a catch up with Chris made for a pleasant 15 minutes of laziness with Chris and Connor getting to know Martin a bit better as they had never met before this walk. Soon enough we were off again following the waterside path that if followed to its end would find you at either Sergeant Man, the Langdale Pikes, High Raise etc, the options are limitless and as we neared the western end of the tarn we espied a Heron perched on a rock, the first time that I have ever seen one up here.

ImageEasedale Tarn

Continuing the steady pace we came across two small teams of Fix the Fells digging drainage ditches to help run the water away from the soft spots on the path.

ImageFix the fells team below Slapestone Edge

The path which runs more or less west begins to slowly swing around to the north as we passed over the wet area that has been paved with large flat stones with a great view of the southeast craggy face of Belle Knot before us...

ImageBelle Knot

and turning around is the dark and fractured face of Blea Rigg sat above the unnamed area of a moss, soft ground that from higher up looks as though it is the remnants of a drying out tarn.

ImageBlea Rigg

A short while after the paved length of path the path starts to rise steadily enough but getting steeper and rougher in places as height is gained...

ImageA view back to some Eastern Fells

with Belle Knot grows ever larger and looking like a proper mountain with its craggy face and pointed shape as we climbed one of the sections of pitched stone path and the few hardy trees that are growing alongside the gill would be a welcome shade of green against the stark grey of the surrounding rocks and crags although there are a few stunted junipers growing in there also. Trees at this height tend to leaf up later than those in the valley bottom.

ImageBelle Knot looms ever larger

A little further along the path and the scene below and across has opened up beautifully with the gill and path like two scars across the rough grass of the combe below with what I suspect are drumlins in an untidy heap below Blea Rigg.

ImageAn Eastern Fells skyline from the 382 metre contour

ImageBlea Rigg and Great Castle How

As we climbed higher we reached the short scramble and we were by now surrounded by crags aplenty...

ImageCrags are in abundance around here

and Belle Knot is looking like a near perfect triangle of rocky crag.

ImageSouth face of Belle Knot

Chris had slowed up a tad but was showing no signs of stress as we approached and clambered up the bare rock face that now faced us. It’s easy enough but requires a little more effort to negotiate.

ImageMartin with Chris on a rocky section of path

ImageSteady as you want

From just above the scramble I couldn’t resist taking another photo back the way we had just walked.

ImageGreat Castle How and Easedale Tarn

At about the 450 metre point we met the path for Coledale Tarn crossing the gill as it broke away to the north showing the mass of Lang Crag as a background...

ImagePath to Coledale Tarn

and giving us an altogether different aspect of Belle Knot that now showed its west face as a mere crag of vertical and shattered grey rocks poking out of the green of the fell.

ImageBelle Knot

ImageLang Crag comes into view

Just a few minutes later we got our first glimpse of the tarns smooth waters with a small group of walkers already sat by its side taking in the pleasant warmth of the sun. On its western shore there is a stunted tree growing and it makes one wonder just how old this tree is as it has surely had a hard life up here.

ImageColedale Tarn

This is their first visit here and my first for a few years, the last time being when caught in a blizzard whilst leaving High Raise for Tarn Crag and took this route by dropping down from the path at the north end of the tarn, our way out to Tarn Crag today.

Belle Knot at 485 metres is like so many other Lakeland crags and mountains, rough and savage on its front and a big pussy at its back with easy grassy slopes that entail no danger or adventure and gives easy access to a marvellous viewpoint. We were surprised to find it a pathless climb to its summit in spite of all the walkers who must find their way to the top of this delectable little crag.

ImageA short climb to the top of Belle Knot

As we climbed, the bowl in which the tarn sits unfolded beneath us exposing the semi-circle of crags with many easy looking grassy rakes climbing up towards High Raise between them...

ImageColedale Tarn from Belle Knot

whilst over to the east the rounded shape of Slapestone Edge was clear to see.

ImageSlapestone Edge

The top of Belle Knot has a few large weather pitted rounded lumps of rock protruding from its grassy top and looking down onto the paths that we had not long ago climbed up it made one feel ever so tiny against the immensity of the surrounding crags.

ImageThe path from Easedale Tarn

ImageRoute to the Langdale Pikes and beyond

I’ve tried to get a decent photo of the face of Blea Rigg but it was always in shadow, throwing a darkness into the craggy face that I couldn’t penetrate with my camera. No doubt JKLL would have no problem in sorting that one out.

ImageBlea Rigg and Great Castle How from Belle Knot

ImageAn eastern view from Belle Knot

There’s a kind of rough ring of rocks on the summit surrounding and sheltering a lovely carpet of green grass and this is where we elected to park up for a break whilst enjoying the views. It was warm from the sun’s rays trapped in this sheltered spot where not a breath of a breeze made itself known, a place where we chatted and put the world to rights. Connor was getting sore from sunburn so a decent application of Factor 30 was applied to his neck and Chris was reminiscing on past walks that we had done together and already thinking of when he could do his last Wainwright and continuing with round two of same. This bodes well with his intensions of reaching full fitness and continuing to make his way over to the LD from the northeast in the near future.

There always comes a time when we must give ourselves a shake, to stir up the get up and go from a beautiful position such as this and get going again, especially when the crack and the company is as good as this was. So we set off back down the fell to meet up with the shoreline path and walking north towards the old sheepfold and the short easy climb out from the tarn.

ImageThe path zigzags along the face of the unnamed knot

The path works its way up the fellside and passes behind a small rocky knoll to join up with the main drag that comes down from High Raise, Greenup Edge, and Deep Slack following the line of the old fence posts of the Co Const & CP Boundary.

The old sheepfold is quite a large affair and must have taken quite a while to build it and I ask myself the question, who and why would anyone build a sheepfold in this most isolated of places, even more isolated back in the day than now. Yes there’s water there, but there’s also water much lower down so this leaves yet another mystery of days gone by although those that did build it must have had quite valid and practical reasons according to the days that they lived in.

Reaching the ‘plateau’ we were now in sight of Tarn Crag sat amongst the many other smaller crags that inhabit this fell...

ImageTarn Crag is to the left of the photo

and a short and easy stroll soon had us at the short climb onto it from where the views once again are fantastic.

ImageGrasmere - Rydal Water and Windermere from Tarn Crag

We crossed over to the south top and a better viewpoint...

ImageAnother side to Tarn Crag

from where we all took copious amounts of photos such was the beauty of the scenery.

ImageGrasmere from Tarn Crag

Easedale Tarn lay sullen and brooding below us amongst the sun painted fells with a dark spattering of cloud moving across them.

Another picture of Blea Rigg with the hazy Coniston Fells behind and a hint of the Langdales over to the right didn’t make the bowels of Blea Rigg’s crags look any lighter than on any of the previous shots of it.

ImageBlea Rigg

Once again and after being sated by the marvellous views we set off on our way down to Stythwaite Steps and Far Easedale with a look back at No. 213. Both Chris and Connor – who is not in the habit of fell walking – are doing well with no complaints from either of them, in fact Connor - I suspect through not wanting to feel like a wimp – had to be told, nay ordered to apply more of the Factor 30 to his neck that by this point looked as though it was hot enough to boil a kettle on.

ImageLooking back at Tarn Crag

It’s now just a case of some steady walking down the fellside and enjoying the views as we descended stopping on Greathead Crag for a refuel and a rest.

Some steady walking and around an hour later we arrived at Far Easedale Gill and Stythwaite Steps, the footbridge and stepping stones making for an easy crossing, not as though there was much water in the gill today after these good few days of dry weather. Looking northwest along the valley gave a good view of Calf Crag.

ImageCalf Crag from Stythwaite Steps

Well the walk was all but over as we walked along the stony lane below Gibson Knott and Helm Crag on our way back to the greener pastures and farms of Easedale passing bright green leaved Larch trees adorned with their small cone shaped dark pink flowers soon to become small brown cones.

ImageLarch tree flowers

ImageSilver How from the lane below Jackdaw Crag

Just before the lane that runs past the house called Kitty Crag we espied this carving of an owl on the remains of a chopped down tree.

ImageOwl carving 2

ImageOwl carving 4

We then proceeded along the well paved lane past Kitty Crag that is an annexe of Lancrigg, the hotel, and is currently up for sale for just over £1.4 million. I couldn’t get any more photos of it but there are plenty on-line to be looking at.

ImagePaved lane by Kitty Crag

A final shot of some eastern fells was taken before we arrived back at Grasmere where Martin and I parted company with Chris and Conner to travel our separate ways back to Martin’s for drinks in the garden after a great days walking in glorious sunshine.

ImageA good part of the Fairfield Round in view

Well in conclusion this has been a great walk on a great weather day in great company made all the better to be walking with Chris again after 16 months. How life and circumstances can change in the blink of an eye, who knows what is in store for them just around the corner? There we were, Chris and I planning our next walk with nothing to indicate that a new affliction would beset us all in the shape of Covid-19 or there was anything wrong with him, so it came as a bombshell when E and I got the latest news about his illness but fortunately he’s pulled through and is recovering well as today’s walk has proved. Obviously he’s not at his best yet but he’s coming on great and a few more ‘training’ walks should see him completing his now 5½ year mission. He’s already booked in for B&B at our house so that we can at last celebrate No. 214 with a good few beers at our local village hostelry. Here’s, and cheers to 214.
