Natchitoches Community Care Center earns 2018 Bronze National Quality Award, one of 14 Louisiana recipients
(Natchitoches, LA) – Natchitoches Community Care Center has been selected as a 2018 recipient of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award earning national honors for dedication to improving to quality care. The distinction is one of three progressive award levels through the National Quality Award Program, presented by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The program honors association members across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to improving quality of care for seniors and persons with disabilities.
"We have long been engaged in some of the focus areas identified in the criteria– such as using a quality assurance performance improvement process and having an independent company conduct satisfaction surveys with residents, employees and families," explained said Link Martin, administrator of Natchitoches Community Care Center. "However, applying for the National Quality Award, which is centered on the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, really helped us to continue to improve our processes and quality which ultimately benefits those we serve."
Natchitoches Community Care Center is one of 14 skilled nursing facilities in Louisiana earning the 2018 Bronze Quality Award. The National Quality Award Program, which AHCA/NCAL established in 1996, is based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is also the foundation of the metric-based AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative.
The Award Program has three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Providers begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile with essential performance elements such as vision, mission statement, and key strengths and challenges. Bronze applicants must also demonstrate their ability to implement a performance improvement system. Trained Examiners review each Bronze application to determine if the center has met the demands of the criteria. As a recipient of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award, Natchitoches Community Care Center may move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award criteria.
"I commend Natchitoches Community Care Center for embarking on the journey to quality improvement," said the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board of Overseers Chair Alana Wolfe. "I encourage them to continue to build on the strong foundation it has created."
The awards will be presented during AHCA/NCAL's 69th Annual Convention and Exposition in San Diego October 7 – 10, 2018.

(Nanowerk News) In a review article published recently in the journal Science ("Graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems for energy conversion and storage"), the researchers, led by Francesco Bonaccorso, a Royal Society Newton Fellow at the Cambridge Graphene Centre, note the substantial progress made in material preparation at the laboratory level. They also highlight the challenge of producing the materials on an industrial scale in a cost-effective manner.
Graphene - a two-dimensional material made up of sheets of carbon atoms – has many potential applications, among them energy conversion and storage. Graphene and related 2D crystals combine high electrical conductivity with physical flexibility and a huge surface to weight ratio. Such qualities make them suitable for storing electric charge in batteries and supercapacitors, and as catalysts in solar and fuel cell electrodes.
Bonaccorso added that the challenge ahead is to demonstrate a disruptive technology in which two-dimensional materials not only replace traditional electrodes, but more importantly enable whole new device concepts.
"Graphene and related materials have great promise in these areas, and the Graphene Flagship has identified energy applications as a key area of investment," said review co-author Andrea Ferrari, who chairs the Executive Board of the Graphene Flagship, and is director of the Cambridge Graphene Centre. "We hope that our critical overview will guide researchers in academia and industry in identifying optimal pathways toward applications and implementation, with an eventual benefit for society as a whole." The Graphene Flagship, a pan-European 10-year, €1 billion science and technology programme was launched in 2013.

Last November I made a post called "A dog is NOT a PUA's best friend" It was about my frequent battles with the dogs of girls I was dating.
Well, it seems like some gurus like to put the shoe on the other foot and they claim that a dog can be a PUA's best wingman.
This week I'm going to go over some of these videos and give my opinions about them.
Using dogs as a gimmick is just silly. I was watching Sean Messenger on Mehow's Infield Insider with his dog and I thought the whole thing was a waste. I don't have a dog, I don't want a dog, and therefore watching him walk around with his dog is useless to me. All these gurus are supposed to be so experienced, there should be no need to use dogs or any other animal to meet women.

On the 200th Anniversary of Jane Austen's Death, Love Endures
Beloved novelist's boy-meets-girl stories stand the test of time because they show us the substance of relationship and what love is.
Amy Smith Blogs July 18, 2017
The beloved novelist died July 18, 1817 — and her moral lessons and lovely characters live on in her wonderful words 200 years later.
Why does Austen endure?
I think, at their core, Miss Austen's boy-meets-girl stories stand the test of time because they show us the substance of relationship and what love is.
As in:
"Love is patient; love is kind. It is not jealous; [love] is not pompous; it is not inflated; it is not rude; it does not seek its own interests; it is not quick-tempered; it does not brood over injury; it does not rejoice over wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." ~1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Sometimes love is illustrated in what it is not (think of Wickham and Lydia in Pride and Prejudice or Willoughby's commitment issues in Sense and Sensibility).
Sometimes love is seen in swoon-worthy speeches from gentlemanly heroes.
But, overall, Austen's principal couples show what true love really means.
Love is patient; love is kind — as illustrated in Capt. Wentworth's letter to his beloved Anne Elliot in Persuasion:
"I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. … For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? … Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F.W."
Anne's response is perfectly perfect because real love offers real happiness:
"It was an overpowering happiness."
It is not jealous; [love] is not pompous; it is not inflated; it is not rude; it does not seek its own interests; it is not quick-tempered; it does not brood over injury; it does not rejoice over wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth — as found in how Lizzy and Darcy overcome their pride and prejudice and find love together. Miss Austen relates this in Darcy's better proposal. He explains why he assisted the Bennet family with the marriage of Wickham and Lydia and shows that love is an action:
"If you will thank me," he replied, "let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you."
Elizabeth was too much embarrassed to say a word. After a short pause, her companion added, "You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever."
Elizabeth, feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of his situation, now forced herself to speak; and immediately, though not very fluently, gave him to understand that her sentiments had undergone so material a change since the period to which he alluded as to make her receive with gratitude and pleasure his present assurances. The happiness which this reply produced was such as he had probably never felt before … and he told her of feelings, which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his affection every moment more valuable.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things — think of Edward and Elinor in Sense and Sensibility:
But Elinor — how are her feelings to be described? — From the moment of learning that Lucy was married to another, that Edward was free, to the moment of his justifying the hopes which had so instantly followed, she was everything by turns but tranquil. But when the second moment had passed, when she found every doubt, every solicitude removed, compared her situation with what so lately it had been — saw him honourably released from his former engagement, saw him instantly profiting by the release, to address herself and declare an affection as tender, as constant as she had ever supposed it to be … she was overcome by her own felicity …
Love never fails — as seen in my favorite Austen hero, Mr. Knightley, and his relationship with Emma. (Note: He is my favorite because he exemplifies what a true gentleman is via chivalry and proper conduct — and extends it further still: He encourages himself and others, especially Emma, to be their best selves.)
"I cannot make speeches, Emma. If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it. Bear with the truths I would tell you now, dearest Emma, as well as you have borne with them. … Yes, you see, you understand my feelings — and will return them if you can. ..."
… Mr. Knightley could not impute to Emma a more relenting heart than she possessed, or a heart more disposed to accept of his. … She was his own Emma, by hand and word.
The affection, which he had been asking to be allowed to create, if he could, was already his! — Within half an hour, he had passed from a thoroughly distressed state of mind to something so like perfect happiness that it could bear no other name.
Her change was equal. — This one half-hour had given to each the same precious certainty of being beloved ...
Emma, of course, has — finally — come to understand that his love for her has indeed been constant:
She had herself been first with him for many years past. She had not deserved it; she had often been negligent or perverse, slighting his advice, or even willfully opposing him, insensible of half his merits, and quarrelling with him because he would not acknowledge her false and insolent estimate of her own — but still, from family attachment and habit, and thorough excellence of mind, he had loved her, and watched over her from a girl, with an endeavour to improve her, and an anxiety for her doing right, which no other creature had at all shared. In spite of all her faults, she knew she was dear to him.
And, later, she recognizes that love in its fullness will see them through whatever is to come in married life:
This proposal of his, this plan of marrying and continuing at Hartfield — the more she contemplated it the more pleasing it became. ... Such a companion for herself in the periods of anxiety and cheerlessness before her! Such a partner in all those duties and cares to which time must be giving increase of melancholy!
This is exactly what 1 Corinthians 13 is about. Thanks, Miss Austen, for 200 years of love-filled good reading!

First of all, I love what Jan did with this song. It's a great production and an improvement on the BB album cut. But with that said, it was barely a Top 25 record and it plays on oldies stations about as much as Surf City and Little Old Lady. It plays more than DMC. which is crazy! It plays much more than Drag City and Honolulu lulu, which are Top 10 songs.
So what's the deal? Why so much attention for a song that was barely top 25 and Jan and Dean's 10th biggest hit?
sidewalk surfin was on ride the wild surf and little old lady albums., Even though screen gems inc didnt want the same song repeated. Maybe thats why sales wasn t high.
The thing that gets me is, since the song is a rewrite of Catch a Wave shouldn't the credits read "Wilson-Love-Berry-Christian" as Mike co-wrote the original lyrics? I realize there are personal and legal issues as to why it wasn't credited that way but as one of the original composers his name rightly belongs on it, too.
Since skateboarding is still a big craze these days, I thought maybe these skateboard kids would get a kick out of a song about their favorite sport. Maybe that's why it's played allot? Probably not. They don't care about music that's over 50 years old. I remember during the second boom (1975) when skateboarding came back in full blast, I would open the doors to my van and blast my 8 track tape with J&D and skate around the parking lot. Don't think anyone is doing that today. Lets be glad that song is being played at all. Hope they keep playing Jan & Dean forever. Mike Love most likely helped with the lyrics since Brian wasn't too familiar with surfing terms when he wrote Catch a Wave. I would love to hear Skateboard Surfin' USA by Jan on the radio since I like that better than Sidewalk Surfin'.
"Sidewalk Surfin'" is one of the best J&D singles. The only reason "Honolulu Lulu" did better is because it was the follow up to a Number One smash - the world was waiting for it.
how long did it take jan to get the backing track done?

A comparison of two methods to recruit physicians to deliver smoking cessation interventions

Medicine - Cardiology Division
Family Medicine and Community Health (Twin Cities)
To address the problem of recruiting physicians to deliver smoking cessation interventions, Doctors Helping Smokers included a trial of physician recruitment strategies. In round 1 of Doctors Helping Smokers, three types of informational materials were mailed directly to 110 family physicians. The physicians were asked to return a postcard if they were interested in participating in a 1-month trial of a smoking cessation intervention. Response did not differ among the three conditions; overall, 9.8% of physicians (95% confidence limits [CL], 8.0, 11.6) responded and 6.05 (95% CL, 4.6, 7.4) eventually participated in the intervention trial. The same procedure was repeated for round 2 of Doctors Helping Smokers with direct mailing to all general internists and cardiologists (n = 1108) on the mailing list of the Minnesota Medical Association. Five percent (95% CL, 3.7, 6.3) of the internists responded and 2.7% (95% CL, 1.7, 3.7) participated in the trial. Recruitment for round 3 mnade use of repeated face-to-face recruitment efforts at the physician's office through a managed-care organization that held contracts with the physician's clinic to provide care for its enrollees. Six months after the initiation of round 3, 59% (95% CL, 49%, 67%) of the 126 primary care physicians reported that they were giving their patients smoking cessation advice and completing the smoking intervention records. Eighteen months after the initiation of round 3, 56% (95% CL, 47%, 65%) of the 116 primary care physicians who remained in the practice reported continued activity in the project.

Dozens of Migrants Breach Border Wall in San Diego, Break Into US
By Kimberly Hayek	March 19, 2019

SAN DIEGO—A group of approximately 60 migrants rushed the U.S.-Mexico border in California, after breaking through the metal fence with a knife—a process that took less 10 minutes. Authorities have only arrested 52 so far.
A video taken by YouTuber MexicanAndy on the Mexican side of the fence shows a man nodding yes when he asks if they were breaking through the wall.
"They want to break the wall," the YouTuber said in the Livestream on March 14.
After about half of the group crossed the border into the United States, a nearby border patrol agent responded to the illegal entries. Once the agent left his position to chase the suspects, the rest of the group on the Mexican side forced their way through the same gap in the fence and began running north along the Pacific coastline.
Tijuana resident Analina Duarte capture footage of the border rush on her cell phone.
"One border patrol agent against all of them, they won't be able to handle it," Duarte is heard saying in Spanish, referring to the one SUV directly north of the border fence.

Fifty-two of the migrants were arrested, including 23 men between the ages of 18 and 53, 12 women between ages 21 and 50, and 17 minors between ages 1 to 14. The majority said they are from Honduras and arrived in Tijuana as part of a caravan, the San Diego Union Tribune reported.
All 52 were taken to a local border patrol station for identification and processing where everyone then claimed asylum, San Diego CBP said. Agents are still looking for the other suspects.
Brazen Border Breach in San Diego Video captured yesterday shows an illegal crossing of Central American migrants in Imperial Beach, CA. None of the 52 people surrendered to the Border Patrol agent parked on the beach. All 52 people were eventually arrested after a 2 hour foot chase involving multiple agents. Once in custody, everyone claimed asylum. #USBP #BorderSecurity #usbpsandiego #securetheborder #asylum
A post shared by Rodney Scott (@rodney_s_scott_) on Mar 15, 2019 at 1:38pm PDT
The border rush comes one day after a smaller group breached the same fence on March 13.
A group of men were seen helping a young girl through a gap in the fence and handing her to a man who had already gotten through the barrier—presumably her father—on the U.S. side of the wall. The man then takes off running north with the child in his arms.

The Month in Horror Releases: November
RyanHorror Newsentertainment, Film, Horror, Movies, November, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Month in Horror Releases, Thelma17 Comments
November is always kind of a drag. Not because the movie releases are bad necessarily, but it means October has come and gone, and so too has Halloween. But a new month means new movies, and November is shaping up quite nicely with the release of a couple of highly anticipated films as well as some intriguing unknowns. So let's dig in!
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (Theaters)
Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Alicia Silverstone, Colin Farrell
Steven, a charismatic surgeon, is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behavior of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister.
My Friend Dahmer (Theaters)
Director: Marc Meyers
Cast: Anne Heche, Ross Lynch, Vincent Kartheiser
Before Jeffrey Dahmer became a notorious serial killer, he was a shy, alcoholic teen who never quite fit in. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Derf Backderf, this is the true, haunting story of Jeffrey Dahmer in high school.
Daguerrotype (VOD)
Director: Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Cast: Tahar Rahim, Constance Rousseau, Olivier Gourmet
When an assistant to a daguerreotypy photographer falls in love with the latter's daughter the relationship mirrors the art form as love and pain combine.
I Remember You (VOD)
Director: Óskar Thór Axelsson
Cast: Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Thor Kristjansson,Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir
A story about a young man and woman who move into a small abandoned town in Iceland to renovate an old house. Little do they know the town has a dark history.
Mayhem (VOD)
Director: Joe Lynch
Cast: Steven Yeun, Samara Weaving, Steven Brand
A virus spreads through a office complex causing white collar workers to act out their worst impulses.
Thelma (Theaters)
Cast: Eili Harboe, Kaya Wilkins, Henrik Rafaelsen
A woman begins to fall in love, only to discover that she has fantastic powers.
Amityville: The Awakening (VOD)
Cast: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bella Thorne, Mckenna Grace
A desperate single mother moves with her three children into the notorious, supposedly haunted, real-life Amityville house to try and use its dark powers to cure her comatose son. Things go horribly wrong.
What you shouldn't miss:
While there aren't many to choose from this month, November's must-sees were an easy choice for me. I'm going with The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Thelma.
If you've seen The Lobster then you know that Yorgos Lanthimos is one to watch, especially now that he's dipping his toes into some very dark territory.
Thelma kind of came out of nowhere. It's this Norwegian coming-of-age thriller that looks every bit as stunning as it does haunting. Another one that's been getting tons of buzz.
What you should take a chance on:
Again, less movies makes these choices so much easier. Both Mayhem and My Friend Dahmer are no-brainers as far as a couple of films that are worthy of a look.
Mayhem, while not so much a horror movie as an action-thriller, looks like a ton of fun, and it's another film that's been riding high on some festival praise lately.
My Friend Dahmer has been getting some mixed reviews, but it's a story that explores the teenage years of a real life serial killer, so it's certainly an intriguing sell if you're into that kind of stuff.
Which film are you looking forward to the most?
Hands down going with The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
Art: Crimson Peak by Daniel Danger
Short Round: Born Again, the worst Satanists ever

Annako says:
Mayhem's as funny as Tragedy Girls. Watched them both at night screening, had a lot of fun!
Glad to hear that! Looking forward to it!
Jesus. Amityville: The Awakening. Eric and I will never break free of those shackles.
Lol, and the worst part is that they just keep getting shittier and shittier.
Mr. Bobinsky says:
Me too, Ryan!
At least Amityville: The Awakening was free on Google Play Store last month so even if it turns out to be garbage, its not all too bad 😉
I finally caught up with Pulse so I'm looking forward to seeing Daguerrotype.
Lol that's a good point. However, it being free on google play should tell us everything we need to know about it's quality.
Silver Screenings says:
That image of "Dahmer" you posted is chilling. That photograph is very well done.
"Thelma" looks really interesting. We've been watching a few Norwegian films/TV shows and have really liked what we've seen so far.
I really want to see Thelma, I've heard nothing but great things! Thanks for reading!
Looking forward to seeing My Friend Dahmer! Thanks for the reviews!
voorhees the junior says:
Ryan, please, add Super Dark Times movie to this list. It's really worth it.
Oops, it was in October. My bad.
Ayush Chandra says:
I had been waiting for My Friend Dahmer in 2017. I usually enjoy such real life psycho-crime scripts. I agree, such films aren't for all audience; looks interesting to a particular section of viewers. The Killing of a Sacred Deer is one film from the list that I want to watch soon.
For 2018, I have done some predictions about the finest horrors. Would love to know your views Ryan about it. Here it is: http://www.filmyearth.com/horror-movies-2018/
Great list, there's some fantastic looking films coming out this year. Really looking forward to seeing how Suspiria turns out. What a hill to climb.
Yes, Suspiria looks interesting. In this 2018 version, there are going to be slight modification that may enhance horror.


Both children have really enjoyed playing with it. For E it was a good chance to talk about the changes in the seasons. We talked a bit about bulbs and seeds and about how different insects behave in the winter.

I love this idea 🙂 it's still cold outside to feel like spring here, but I've been eagerly waiting for spring so I can show my daughter what seeds grow into. This looks like it'll be good in the meantime.
lol I love the smell of coffee and we've got a load in the cupboard that I bought cheaply but tastes bad!
I'm glad you like the 'series' I need to set myself challenges or I do nothing!!

Two large prep carts—entirely laden with scavenged 2-by-4's, each sawed length-wise to create six bundles—blocked the doors to the MCA's first-floor conference room. The 21 CPS teachers participating in a week-long professional development workshop as part of summer Teacher Institute gingerly negotiated the protruding poles to get to their seats.
Guest artist Faheem Majeed sat next to Hostert. Majeed had come in to guide the teachers through a special sculptural project he'd developed, simply titled Sticks and Tape. Earlier that morning, MCA staff had marked off a large swatch of their first-floor lobby. With minimal direction from Majeed, a bunch of varicolored duct tape, and some teamwork, over the course of the day the teachers would build an enclosed, free-standing structure out of the thin little beams.
Majeed prefaced the activity with a conversation among the teachers. The talk took place in Majeed's third-floor exhibition at the MCA, an installment of the museum's locally focused Chicago Works series.
Installation view, BMO Harris Bank Chicago Works: Faheem Majeed, MCA Chicago, Mar 10–Aug 16, 2015.
Majeed related his experiences teaching at Chicago State University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to how his shack fit in the MCA's space. He called attention to the gap between his brown cube and the museum's white walls.
He related his experience teaching art history through a faithful understanding of who he was teaching. Majeed's mostly adult Chicago State students brought their own, entirely unique set of experiences to the course. He couldn't virtuously run that late-night classroom like he might for the predominantly white, middle-class, and 20-year-old SAIC students he taught by day.
Discarded lumber was what had been right in front of Majeed. You could find the necessary materials for Sticks and Tape down alleys and in dumpsters. Much of Majeed's art is made from cheap, disposable construction materials. The sticks for that Wednesday's iteration of Sticks and Tape had been several structures, already. They first came from a test install he'd done at Mana Contemporary in Pilsen.
Majeed walked out into the center of the marked-off lobby space, gripping one of the longer sticks.
"Okay: No sliding! We don't do this." Majeed ran his hand roughly along the unsanded edge of the pole. "Why? Splinters!" He then slung the pole over his shoulder. "We don't do this! Why?" He mimed thwacking several bystanders, and the teachers laughed at the self-evident lesson.
"This is duct tape," demonstrated Majeed, holding up a roll. "It was my favorite toy growing up. The tape isn't tape, though, think of it as string," instructing the teachers to knot long, narrow lengths of the tape around vertices made by intersecting sticks.
"Let's get building," Majeed shouted.
Within five minutes, the 21 teachers had roughly designed a frame big enough to accommodate them all. Over the next 10 minutes, they built out the structure to take up all the available space marked down for them.
"It's like a giant erector set," laughed one of the museum's engineers, watching as he waited for the nearby elevator.
The teachers began to build in a doorframe, and thatched sections of wood across top beams to create a ceiling. Some teachers spun the colored duct tape around structural members that met at sharp, opposing angles, creating vibrant volumes—three-dimensional geometry.
Majeed had the teachers step back for a moment and draw out "windows" for the new building on sheets of paper. On one side, they sketched the perspective looking in; on the other side, the view looking out.
Once the windows were in place, the teachers shared their impressions.
Even the sticks themselves turned out to be quietly brilliant. The teachers had begun the day by thinking about points of entry: ways they could start talking about certain artworks, means by which they could better envision their students' diverse preoccupations and fantasies. They ended their day—lying on their backs—staring upwards at the vaults of a porous chapel, a building with hundreds of potential doorways. You could clamber through the walls, duck under the dedicated archway, fit between buttresses.
Yet, at every point, one false, careless, inconsiderate step could bring the whole thing down. It was a structure that fought back, too, as the teachers attempted to dismantle it. In this respect, Majeed's activity was more than a learning tool, an elegant way to appeal to a student's multiple intelligences. Sticks and Tape smartly spoke to the fine fault-lines CPS teachers tread every day, their ongoing task of cultural construction in a challenging city.

The word welcome seems to be Old English or Scandinavian or Icelandic in origin. My dictionary explains that welcome "is a word of kindly greeting to a person whose arrival gives pleasure." We are so made that the very presence of someone gives us pleasure, delight. The word welcome indicates our response to this presence, our awareness that we are alive to the beauty and delight that is not ours but which comes to be among us.
The word welcome obviously derives from the notion that when someone comes among us, he is to be well met, he is to come forth well, to be well in our presence. He is to be made to feel at home, which is itself another wonderful phrase. We are not really "home" in someone else's home. Home is and ought to be mostly an exclusive place, the real root of privacy, or hiddenness and tenderness. Yet we have all experienced times when we do genuinely know we are "at home" because of someone's welcome to us in his home.
To be "made glad" and to "welcome" are not notions we easily associate with our faults. In one of his dialogues, the Gorgias, Plato even suggested that we should want to be punished for our wrongs. Naturally, those who heard Socrates maintain such a thing thought him a bit touched. Yet something profoundly true is here. We distinguish between forgiveness and punishment, and rightly so. We know there are people who are not forgiven or who do not ask for forgiveness but who are punished. And we know that we hardly want to be punished even if we think we deserve it.
The desire to be appropriately punished for our wrongs, however, is a sign that we understand the meaning and effects of our actions. In Plato's thought, there is nothing morbid here, but a kind of realism that insists that we be willing to accept and understand the consequences of our actions. All of our actions, I think, take place in a kind of abiding dialogue. We want to enlighten our acts with words, so that we will understand our acts.
But our actions originate in a "word." We pronounce it in our very act. We state the right "word" about our acts when we understand their effects. In this light we accept the punishment due to them if they are wrong (or their rewards if they are right). And we should not forget that the greatest punishment is really the realization that we were wrong against a standard we did not make but to which we are ordered by what we are, that we did not "welcome" the exposure of what is in us that is yet unwilling to be known as wrong or untrue.
I am not speaking here directly of the sacrament which deals with the profoundest root of our acts, our standing before God through all that we do and say. But Plato understood the truth about punishment; he knew that it was a public recognition that we did not stand by our acts as forming our own definition of the world. We spoke a new word about them by admitting that our definition did not change the world of what is, as we had thought in their doing.
It has always struck me that St. Thomas did not include coercion or force as one of the four elements in his definition of the essence of law. St. Thomas, of course, was not so unaware that we associate most laws with their sanctions. For both Aristotle and St. Thomas, the coercion attached to law had a direct and educative purpose. Not only was it to protect the standards of right and reason, but it was an aid eventually to address the law-breaker in his reason. If we prevent an evil act, even by fear or coercion, as is sometimes necessary to do, we do a favor to the man who wants to violate right reason in his actions. He has already violated it in his heart, to be sure. Still, if law is reason addressed to reason, as it is when properly formulated and understood (even by the law-breaker), then the law-breaker will see that he did well not to violate the law by his acts.
These are sober considerations, I suppose. But still the idea of "making welcome" or "making glad" bears the connotation of "all's well with thee." We are little instructed in how to live with our wrongs. The worst way to live with them is to try to change the world so that we ourselves define what is right and wrong. We can do this, too, up to a point. This was, after all, the teaching in Genesis about the nature of the Fall.
In fact, the root of most modern ethical and political philosophy claims that this self-definition of the good is possible, even right and necessary. The very question of insisting that we be punished for our wrongs came up in that dialogue of Plato in which the politician refused to consider the truth of his actions, actions he argued were necessary to rule the state, whether they might be right or wrong. It was sufficient for him that they were necessary for his rule. This is why the practicing politician is wary of the philosopher, or priest or prophet, or at least of those philosophers, priests, and prophets who do not consider their vocation to be that of justifying the politician who claims no authority but his own need to rule.
In one of Stevenson's New Yorker cartoons, the Devil himself is at his desk in the smoking hills of the underworld greeting new arrivals and checking their credentials. Five gentlemen, rather prosperous looking but curious as to how they got there, are waiting in line. Lucifer puts his finger in the book to address the first portly rather self- satisfied gentleman: "Avarice, gluttony, lust, and overweening pride. Well, welcome aboard, Mr. Dexter." That about says it all when even the Devil imitates the Opposite Kingdom to make welcome his permanent guests.
By contrast, in the Third Canon of the Mass, the prayer for the dead after the Consecration is addressed to the Father — "Welcome into your Kingdom our departed brothers and sisters and all who have left this world in your friendship." We are to be glad when we discover our wrongs, to want to be punished for them to uphold our side of the law. This is why we need not despair when we err.
We can thus imagine the Father saying to His court, introducing those who each have chosen, as Augustine would say, the City of God — that is, to all who have left this world in His friendship— "Ladies and Gentlemen, won't you please make welcome into My Home. . . " He then lists the names of each, the names He gave us in our conception, in His plan for us from the foundations of the world.
Indeed, with Plato's theory of punishment and Christ's promise of forgiveness, we might even expect the arrival in this Home of Mr. Dexter himself, "overweening pride" and all, provided he finally heeded George MacDonald's advice to "so love the truth and the right that he welcomed" in himself the same exposure that Lucifer would present to him at the hills of the underworld. Punishment and forgiveness uphold the law that God put into our hearts. Overweening pride tempts us to create our own world in which there is nothing but our own definition of what is to make us welcome. Ultimately, hell is the realm of no welcome.
We are all so made, to repeat, that the very presence of someone gives us pleasure, delight. This is the ultimate meaning of the Incarnation. It is the ultimate meaning of why we are at all.

IBM has announced "fundamental collaborations" with SmartCone, Guardhat, Garmin fitness and Mitsufuji so one can help to monitor the defense of laborers in hazardous environments.
The collaborations will use internet of things (IOT) technologies that have been built-in into wearables, the tech colossal referred to in an announcement Wednesday. workers in sectors together with factories, construction and mining will use the technology, IBM introduced.
The company's expertise can be used to check environmental and biometric facts to assist assess if employees are exposed to danger or possibility. sensible contraptions, wearables and environmental sensors may be used to compile the facts in close real-time. "employee defense is a vital precedence for all enterprises and this collaboration is a major milestone in dramatically improving the style agencies establish and dispose of dangers within the workplace," Kareem Yusuf, widespread supervisor at IBM Watson IoT, noted in an announcement. As know-how develops, a couple of industries and companies are using it to are attempting and boost the safeguard of personnel within the workplace.
Mining giant BHP, as an instance, is the use of everything from self sustaining drills at iron ore mines to trialing "wise caps" that analyze mind waves and display screen worker fatigue.
Of the brand new collaboration with IBM, Garmin health's international Product Lead, Travis Johnson, noted that the combination of "the potent analytic capabilities of the IBM Watson IoT solution with the amazing sensor data and long battery life of Garmin contraptions creates an excellent answer for remotely monitoring employees with minimal person burden."
nowadays, IBM Watson is announcing important collaborations with a few trade partners to improve worker security in hazardous environments. the brand new offerings leverage cyber web of things (IoT) know-how along side IBM's existing Maximo commercial enterprise asset administration platform.
The business is working with Garmin health, Guardhat, Mitsufuji and SmartCone to make use of superior records assortment and artificial intelligence (AI) applied sciences to force big advances in monitoring and assessing the safety and health of laborers in hazardous environment. "It's within the context of a huge center of attention enviornment for us, to increase worker security the use of IoT facts and AI," referred to Kareem Yusuf, PhD, frequent supervisor of IBM Watson IoT.
With Garmin, an established leader in wearable expertise, the partnership permits customers to accumulate "close-time" sensor statistics (gathered and assessed in mere seconds) from employees equipped with Garmin activity trackers. With the Garmin fitness companion SDK records collection device embedded within the Maximo employee Insights platform, groups can have instant alerts of fitness emergencies or "man-down" eventualities, and may additionally construct historical analytics based on longer-time period biometric information.
Guardhat, meanwhile, is integrating its sensible very own defensive machine (PPE) wearables with the IBM platform. Their KYRA IoT utility gathers records from their IoT instrumented challenging hat, monitoring actual situations to realize and warn of surrounding risks, and additionally presents communication capabilities with true-time video and audio. The facts and analytical mixture gives for faraway directional counsel and geolocation, in addition to energetic monitoring and warning of moving object risks.
within the third collaboration, IBM Watson will music IoT sensor records from the brand new wearable "shirt," named hamon, these days launched by Mitsufuji. The hamon machine, made from conductive silver fibers, at once collects the wearer's actual facts such as heart cost and temperature, while also monitoring surrounding environmental situations, including noise and gasoline tiers and air temperature. The Maximo employee Insights platform can then analyze the facts and carry alerts and alarms for routine activities corresponding to breaks and job rotations, or for emergency conditions that may lead to injury or affliction.
The SmartCone utility is built round that business's IoT-outfitted bendy network of region sensors, which will also be mounted or integrated in to moveable traffic cone configurations. The sensors computer screen hazards within the marked zones, and gather visual facts from cameras and other sensor facts corresponding to temperature and noise. The company's information collection and manipulation algorithms integrates with Maximo employee Insights to give ongoing indications of environmental conditions, as well as alerts in the event of an accident or harm.
Automation is regularly criticized for its skills to eliminate jobs, but it's additionally been shown to improve worker safeguard with the aid of taking worker's out of harm's manner. these days's announcement offers extra improvements in that regard; with on-the-job monitoring of competencies dangers to health and neatly-being, they're a different avenue toward decreasing the millions of on-the-job injuries laborers endure every 12 months.

Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) today announced the selection of IBM for an automated system that will provide a real time status of all business processes. This will enable Kenya Power to implement its strategic expansion plans.
KPLC is counting on technology to expand its current 2.6 million-client base by another one million clients and to push its current electricity generation capacity from 2025 megawatts to 5000 plus megawatts by 2015.
Server/storage virtualization and a tiered storage architecture produced significant benefits for a large retailer.
Note: This case study is based on a Wikibon.org community user, and while the case is real, the name of the company—CS1—is fictitious.
—While CS1, a large retailer, was satisfied with the performance and availability of its Tier-1 storage platforms (consisting exclusively of EMC's Symmetrix arrays), rapid growth of Tier-2 applications (mainly Windows-based) and increased demand for storage to support the company's growth were creating business constraints. Specifically, the time to migrate new arrays to support CS1's three-year leasing strategy was tedious and expensive (5+ months and up to $50,000 per array).
CS1 decided to adopt an aggressive virtualization strategy for both servers and storage to improve the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of its infrastructure. The company is nearly 12 months into a three-year plan to virtualize its entire SAN infrastructure.
The current Tier-1 storage was too expensive to be a default for all data, implying a need for more granularity in storage tiers.
An assessment of storage residing on the Tier-1 arrays indicated that nearly 50% of the Tier-1 storage capacity was appropriate for Tier-2 placements, based on the company's recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs).
Solution strategyCS1 was already a major proponent of VMware on the server side. The company embarked on a three-year project to virtualize nearly all storage attached to the SANs using IBM's SAN Volume Controller (SVC) virtualization platform to allow storage provisioning, migrations, and decommissioning without impacting applications.
CS1 has deployed IBM's DS4000 modular arrays behind the SVC to provide Tier-2 storage and has made it the default storage platform going forward. The company has retained the Symmetrix arrays for Tier-1 storage and is moving most of these behind the SVC. CS1 is migrating its array-based storage management software to Tivoli (see table, below).
CS1 also created a new centralized group to assign data sets to storage tiers based on performance requirements. This group works with the lines of business to ensure there is an appropriate business justification for placing data on Tier-1 storage; otherwise, data is placed on Tier-2 platforms.
BenefitsThe project is 12 months in to a 36-month plan. Despite several hundred thousand dollars in hardware, software, services, and internal staff expense, the project is cash flow-positive. Payback period for the project was less than one year. For the storage it has virtualized (about one-third of the SAN-attached inventory), CS1 has reduced storage migration time from several months to five days on average. With virtualization of both servers and storage, CS1 has improved and continues to expect improvements in availability and time to provision a new virtual server with storage from weeks to minutes.
CS1 now estimates that with storage virtualization, for each dollar spent on hardware and software acquisition, the additional expense for migrating arrays has declined from $0.43 to less than $0.10. Moreover, the effective cost per terabyte for Tier-2-class storage has been reduced by a factor of three.
ImplementationThe figure shows the CS1 implementation strategy. The company wanted to continue to use the Symmetrix arrays as Tier-1 storage, but to move the majority of them behind the virtualization platform. The implementation plan is to virtualize as much of the storage as possible over three years. If the SVC cannot handle some of the high I/O requirements for Tier 1, CS1 has a fallback plan to implement a smaller pool of non-virtualized storage.
Organizational issuesCS1's strategy is to make IBM's modular disk arrays its default storage devices. A special case has to be made by the business if Tier-1 storage is to be used. As there is no chargeback, CS1 had to ensure there were sufficient management controls in place to govern this policy. The company is very concerned that its users have sufficient performance as the storage is moved to Tier 2. To support this strategy, CS1 put in place a storage group responsible for placing data on the optimum tiers and for ensuring performance requirements are met by comprehensive testing.
CS1's long-term objective is to automate storage requests and storage migrations using a policy-based engine. The storage request would include the business requirements and prerequisites, and the policy would dictate where it goes, together with backup-and-archive criteria.
CS1 has implemented a solid virtualization and tiered storage strategy, and the pressures for creating additional storage tiers will require an accelerated rate of adoption of virtualization and tiered storage. However a potential weak point of the strategy remains the degree to which CS1 can virtualize Tier-1 storage behind IBM's SVC, given the company's performance and availability requirements.

CS1 is a retail company with an IT shop comprising mainframes and open systems. In all, the company has more than 1 petabyte of storage installed with about 40% residing on two storage networks supporting the company's mission-critical applications. SAN storage had been exclusively based on Tier-1 arrays, and CS1 needed a way to reduce the expense of storage acquisitions and lower complexities associated with migrations. One year into a three-year project, CS1 has saved several hundred thousand dollars and dramatically improved its time to migrate and provision storage. This payback came from a virtualized server and storage infrastructure that required careful planning and testing to ensure adequate service levels were met.


Love your photo Karen! We figured spring is the season for lamb but it's just not a popular meat in this country. Glad you found the lamb and enjoyed the dish!
Cathy, Mouthwatering photography! The lamb is perfectly seared!
