O Principado de Capestrano () foi um feudo histórico - originalmente um marquesado, posteriormente um principado - na região italiana de Abruzzo.

Existiu entre 1284, ano em que Carlos I de Anjou atribui o território a Ricardo de Acquaviva de S. Valentino, e 1743, ano em que foi outorgado a Carlos de Bourbon, rei de Nápoles, transformando-se num feudo alodial desse reino.

História

Origens
Em 1284, o rei Carlos I de Anjou, em sinal de reconhecimento pela fidelidade demonstrada na conquista do reino de Nápoles, doa o território do vale do Tirino a Ricardo de Acquaviva de S. Valentino.

O domínio durou até 1318 quando o rei Carlos III de Nápoles, cede Capestrano a Pietro da Celano. Em 1435 o Marquesado passou de Nicola à sua filha Jacovella (Cobella) da Celano que casou por três vezes, a última com Leonel Accrocciamuro. Deste último casamento teve um filho, Ruggerone que toma o partido de João de Anjou.

Mas com a vitória do rei Ferrante I de Nápoles, Ruggerone vê-lhe o marquesado confiscado e, a 12 de outubro de 1463, atribuído a Antonio Todeschini Piccolomini duque de Amalfi e sobrinho do papa Pio II.

Diversos membros da família Piccolomini sucederam no marquesado até que Constança, fortemente endividada pela construção da Basílica de S. Andrea della Valle, em Roma, acaba por penhorar as terras e em 1569, vendê-las definitivamente por 106.000 ducados a Francisco I de Médici, Grão-Duque da Toscana. Acaba assim o domínio dos Piccolomini em Capestrano.

O governo dos Médici
Adquirido o feudo, Francisco I de Médici governa o marquesado que, em 1584, por vontade do rei Filipe II de Espanha é elevado a principado.

Em 1585, Francisco I cede o estado ao seu filho natural, António de Médici. Com a morte do pai, António passou a viver na sombra do tio, Fernando I de Médici, que sucedera no Grão-Ducado da Toscana, o qual lhe confere, em 1595, uma pensão de 35.000 scudi por ano, em troca da renúncia ao Principado de Capestrano, que o pai lhe atribuíra a título vitalício.

Capestrano regressou à linha dos Médicis de Florença, sendo primeiro governado diretamente pelos Grão-duques Fernando I e Cosme II e, depois, por membros cadetes da família, como o Príncipe Francisco, o Cardeal Carlos e o duque de Rovere e Montefeltro Francisco Maria.

Com a morte de João Gastão de Médici, último membro masculino da família, o Grão ducado da Toscana é herdado pelo imperador Francisco I, enquanto que Capestrano permanece ligado aos Médici, na pessoa de sua irmã, Ana Maria Luísa, eleitora-viúva do Palatinado, e último membro da família, que vem a falecer, também sem descendência, em 1743.

Nesse ano, tendo em conta o enquadramento político e o domínio do "mezzogiorno" por Carlos de Bourbon, Capestrano tornou-se um estado alodial incluído no Reino de Nápoles.

Kosovci su regionalna srpska manjina na Kosovu. Ime su dobili po Kosovu polju oko rijeke Sitnice i njenih pritoka i pokrajina. Vučitrnci i njegova okolina ne broje sebe u prave Kosovce. Kosovci su, po njima, istočno od ušća Laba u Sitnicu. Kosovci srpsko stanovništvo zapadno od ušća Laba nazivaju Ercima, a ovi one na istoku Kosovcima. Gračanica i Lipljan su središte Kosova, a proteže se od izlaska Sitnice iz bare Sazlije, pa do sastava s Labom. U novije vrijeme nazivu se pridjeljuje značenje koje obuhvaća većinu Srba na Kosovu. Pojedini autori smatraju kako riječ ima isto značenje kao i Kosovljani.

Enjoy your 690's they are awesome. The comments passed above are rubbish…. I have a Titleist 904F in my bag which is close to my favourite club and was wondering as this is quite a small face on it, it may be similar to irons such as these. What is your Iron game handicap? I would recommend getti g each club tested at your local shop and get fitted on the range if possible. Hits too far out on the toe and you know it immediately and get your swing back on track. Irons come in all different shapes and sizes: max-game improvement, game improvement, players irons, etc. I had to go under a tree and cut a shot back into the wind to bend the ball back into the fairway.
Maybe it is just me, but I think the long irons are just as easy to hit as my 990's. Thank you for posting a review. A definite buy if you're wanting to try blades or switch to another. Fitting Message Titleist irons offer shot-making ability from beginners to tour pros. Makes me feel really good! The ferrule is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the playability of the club.
I can tell you with confidence that you have nothing to be worried about with these clubs. I think because they are thicker. Irons come in all different shapes and sizes: max-game improvement, game improvement, players irons, etc. Limited quantities available at these prices. If the club in your hand says Titleist, you can be sure it is the very best it can possibly be. At address, players will notice a traditionally thin topline that manages to hide the muscle behind the sweet spot.
I share those scores not to brag on my ability players like me are a dime a dozen , I share those scores to express how thrilled I am with these 690s. After about half a bag i pured one with the Titleist. U-try gives you the freedom to test drive the club on your course, at your pace, with the golf ball you play. Dont listen to people saying they are imposible to hit thats bogus. Stay tuned gents because as we speek these clubs are on the way. At times I could not tell.
Interesting to see the F9 driver has the same-ish style ribbing on the top. But what these clubs give in return is that sweet feeling on center contact. I am glad to see them make the hosel more adjustable wider range of loft values. I shot 71 river , 68 plantation , and 68 woods. I switched to the 735. The only fear I have is distances. That feeling is why these irons are what they are to some people.
The other companies don't so this. I hit them much better than cavity backs, because I can cut and fade the ball much better with these blades. You know, I also believe most weekend golfers probably could not tell what shaft they hit if they did a blind test. I put in an obscenely low bid on these clubs on ebay three days before my wedding day. I shouldn't have worried, they are a great iron. Trade values are based on several factors such as demand, condition, release date and other resale factors. In fact, they were tough to photograph in sunlight! Both are really great clubs.
For anyone playing a blade they should find out your % of Greens hit. The other downside is if the softer shaft is what you would need, then they would be tougher to sell outright. Looking for a traditional 3 iron add to your golf bag? Overall, this review was the clincher for me in determing that I was ready to test drive these irons. Unless you can find a screamind deal, you will probably have to order them new from Titleist with the correct shaft. Condition DescriptionClubs in Value Condition have been played frequently. An interesting company called Shaft Lab will measure your swing profile and recommend a shaft. If you are playing outdated clubs like i am, and want to take your game to the next level i would def.
However, our expert fitters, certified in Titleist equipment, will help you find the correct Titleist irons to fit your game. With the Titleist, it feels like the weight is right behind the ball. Mishit on any iron and you will not only know it by feel, but you will also know it by the ugliness that results on the course. Generally, in this area, we'll get one or two mornings a year where the air temperature will be below zero. That said, they are fun to hit and you will maximize your distance. It Takes More To Be A Titleist Superior performance is never an accident.
Join our community today and enter into a chance to win a free regular giveaways. Before purchasing, I would take them to the range on Grass and give them a try. My recommendation is that anything above a 9 handicap wont actually get the best out of them. The 2002 model is 690mb and the 2005 is the 690. They only had regular size though. You get to try it when, where, and how you want for two weeks before deciding if you want to buy it or not. Ping's ribs on the clubhead are more pronounced than the F9 and in the previous iterations of the Ping driver.

Handlung
Der sanfte und zurückhaltende Akira Uehara () hat sich in die süß aussehende, aber grobe und unkultivierte Nanako Momoi () verliebt. Obwohl sie ihn nicht an sich heranlässt, will er sich um sie kümmern, als sie krank wird. Doch als er sie besucht, will ihr verrückter Großvater ein Experiment an ihr durchführen. Als Akira dies verhindern will, tauschen beide ihre Körper. Kurz darauf flieht Nanakos Großvater nach Hawaii und sie können den Austausch nicht mehr rückgängig machen.

Nach anfänglichen Problemen fühlt sich Nanako in Akiras Körper wohl. Mit ihrer Art wird er zum Schwarm aller Mädchen und bald verliebt sie sich in Makoto Shiina (), die einmal Nanakos beste Freundin war. Auch Akiras Familie nimmt dessen Veränderung wohlwollend auf. Akiras ehemaliger Kumpel Shinnosuke Senbongi () hat sich währenddessen in Nanako verliebt, in deren Körper Akira steckt. So ist Akira mit dem Körpertausch als einziger unzufrieden.

Shinnosuke versucht nun mehrmals, Nanako für sich zu gewinnen, doch der in ihr steckende Akira will dies zunächst nicht zulassen. Auf der Abschlussklassenfahrt akzeptiert Akira schließlich seinen neuen Körper und geht mit Shinnosuke eine Beziehung ein, während Nanako mit Makoto zusammenkommt.

Veröffentlichung

Rezeption
Laut Splashcomics hat Ai Morinaga die schon oft verwendete Idee der vertauschten Körper gelungen neu umgesetzt und die geschlechtstypischen Situationen, in denen sich die Charaktere wiederfinden, witzig und treffend wiedergegeben. Die Geschichte sei romantisch wie witzig und die Zeichnungen schön und weich ausgeführt.

Keweenaw Now: Save the Wild U.P.: Will Michigan DEQ reject fraudulent Back Forty mine permit?
Save the Wild U.P.: Will Michigan DEQ reject fraudulent Back Forty mine permit?
From Save the Wild U.P.
MARQUETTE -- Grassroots environmental group Save the Wild U.P. (SWUP) has announced that they will be asking Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) to reject Aquila's Back Forty mine permit application. SWUP is raising alarming questions about false or contradictory statements made in Aquila Resources' Back Forty mine permit application. Aquila plans on developing an open pit sulfide mine on the Menominee River, extracting rock, processing ore -- containing lead, zinc, copper, gold and other heavy metals -- with flotation, cyanide and smelting, and dumping their waste on the banks of Upper Michigan's largest watershed.
When reviewing any mine proposal, one basic question must be answered: "What is the proposed Life of Mine (LOM)?" In order to correctly calculate a mine's risks, benefits and cumulative environmental impacts, an accurate LOM estimate is essential. According to Aquila's permit application, "The (Back Forty) Project will be an open pit mining operation" and the "Life of Mine (LOM) operation is planned to be approximately 7 years."
This is misleading. Elsewhere, Aquila describes the Back Forty project as having a "16 year life of mine (LOM), of which 12.5 Mt is open-pit and 3.6 Mt is underground." Back Forty is described as a 16 year mine in Aquila's press releases, in communications with the Menominee Indian Tribe, and in letters to investors and local community leaders. According to their Project Fact Sheet: "we support a transparent process(…) visit our website at aquilaresources.com/projects/back-forty-project for more information." Visitors to Aquila's website find a 16 year mine described.
"Apparently, the only folks who haven't been told about Aquila's 16 year open pit and underground mining plan are the DEQ regulators who are busy at this very moment, reviewing Aquila's application for a 7 year open pit mine," said Kathleen Heideman, SWUP president.
Significantly, the 16 year LOM is described in Aquila's current NI 43-101 report, required by Canadian Securities Administrators.
"Aquila's NI 43-101 report should be used by Michigan regulators to truth-test whether this company is being 'open and transparent' concerning the Back Forty project," said Michelle Halley, Marquette attorney and member of Save the Wild U.P.'s advisory board.
Is Aquila lying To state regulators? Should DEQ Care?
Aquila's application asserts that mining and milling facilities are scaled to accommodate the life of the mine. By minimizing LOM, the company can misrepresent all of the mine's impacts, including tailings capacity, size of waste rock storage areas, total limestone needed for neutralizing total waste rock, total need for importing and storing cyanide and other chemicals used in the processing of the ore, total crushing and processing throughput, milling equipment capacity, water treatment plant capacity, dewatering and draw-down estimates, air pollution quantities, noise, pit backfilling estimates, remediation planning, post-closure timelines, and more.
"The Back Forty mine application raises more red flags than I can count -- critical oak savannas, sturgeon fisheries, treaty-protected natural resources, and indigenous archaeological sites will be threatened or destroyed by this mining operation," said Alexandra Maxwell, SWUP's executive director. "Sulfide mines are known to pollute indefinitely. This mine doesn't belong on the Menominee River."
By claiming that "no underground mining" will occur, Aquila's application sidestepped valid regulatory concerns under Michigan's Part 632 rules governing sulfide mining. In the application checklist, underground items were marked "not applicable," and Aquila skipped questions about Subsidence, Impacts to Public or Private Water Supply Wells, Closure of Openings and more, stating "project does not include an underground mine as such contingency planning for subsidence is not required." In the permit application, Aquila flatly states "underground mining was considered but rejected (…) underground mining is not a prudent alternative for this ore body. The shallowness of the ore body, specifically the shallow ore zones, heavily influences the effectiveness of open pit mining."
"Are they talking out of both sides of their mouth?" she asked. "It undermines their credibility."
"The Aquila Back Forty project must not be permitted on the basis of a fraudulent permit application for a short-lived open pit mine, only to have the company request endless revisions until Back Forty's open pit gradually morphs into an unrecognizable and potentially unregulated underground mine," warned Maxwell.
The Back Forty mine permit application for a 7 year mine appears misleading and inaccurate, at best, and fraudulent at worst. Aquila's clear intent -- expressed in every document except their mine permit application -- is to develop a 16 year mine. Tacking on a subsequent underground mining phase could increase the mine's life by a factor of 129 percent, forcing dramatic and non-public-involved revisions to every aspect of the permit application currently under review by the State of Michigan.
"If Aquila affirms that this 7 year open pit LOM is accurate, and defends the permit application, all public statements containing the Back Forty's 16 year life of mine estimate should be viewed as baseless or fraudulent statements, designed to attract investors and gain greater political and community support," said Heideman.
Maxwell added, "Misinformation about the 'life of mine' has infected this permit application. We are asking DEQ regulators to act promptly to dismiss Aquila's mine permit application, given the inaccurate statements. Public trust in our regulatory process is at stake."
Public Comment Deadline has been EXTENDED to February 16! -- Concerned citizens and other interested persons are urged to submit written comments by mail or e-mail until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016. Mail your comments to MDEQ Back Forty Mine Comments, Office of Oil, Gas, and Minerals, 1504 West Washington Street, Marquette, Michigan, 49855; or by email to Joe Maki: makij3@michigan.gov.
Save the Wild U.P. and Front 40 will host "Don't Undermine the Menominee River!" -- an informational forum reviewing the Back Forty sulfide mine proposal and what's at stake. The forum will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016, in the Shiras Room of the Peter White Public Library in Marquette.
NEW: DEQ Information Session -- MDEQ staff have been asked to hold an additional educational session for the public, concerning Aquila's Back Forty Mine Permit Application. This meeting is tentatively schedule to take place at 7 p.m. CST on March 9, 2016, at the Lake Township Hall Co. Rd. 577/G-12, Stephenson, MI 49887. For confirmation, contact Joe Maki: makij3@michigan.gov -- for directions, contact Lake Township at 906-753-4385.

Nymbl Closes Oversubscribed Series Seed Funding Round
Nymbl closed our Series Seed Funding Round today, bringing $1.55 million of working capital into the company. The round was oversubscribed.
The funds will be used for 1) scaling up our sales and account development team in the Senior Living marketplace, where we are already seeing significant traction and growth and, 2) managing our Medicare Advantage Launches in 4 markets in January.
"We are excited by the strong reception we saw for Nymbl's mission and investment opportunity", commented Ed Likovich, CEO. "Our investors related to the mission of preventing 1 million falls and are excited to see a company that could focus on solving a major healthcare problem while also offering a strong business model that can drive increased investor value. With the additional funds, we can now be laser-focused on accelerate growth in our target markets."
The round was led by Rockies Venture Club (RVC).
"Friends don't let Friends Fall" partnership with SCLHealth Lutheran Medical Center seeing high engagement
Dr. Nathan Estrada from Nymbl teaching "dual-tasking" balance exercises at "Friends don't let Friends Fall" orientation
Nine months ago, Nymbl and SCL Health Lutheran Medical Center launched the "Friends don't let Friends Fall" program in conjunction with the Arvada Fire Protection District to fight the epidemic of falls that is noted to be the number one reason for emergency medical calls.
This innovative program borrowed ideas from the Netherlands, where the country has seen significant fall reduction by removing fall hazards in people's homes and training them about fall dangers on an obstacle course. The course is designed to increase confidence rather than feed the fear of falling. All participants were given the Nymbl Training App for use free of charge so that they could train their balance in their own homes long term.
So far, the program has surpassed expectations in terms of engagement and outcomes. We have seen excellent engagement – older adults not only will use the Nymbl balance training, but they make it a habit because it's fun, can be done in 10 minutes, and is easy to use. Typically engagement in programs is only 5% of older adults participating. The Nymbl digital solution overcomes this barrier to success by making it readily available in a person's home. We have seen over 50% of the attendees using the balance training in the privacy of their own home. Most encouragingly, an incredible 34% of the older adults are using the app at the therapeutic dose (meaning enough to have a known improvement in balance). Members of the FDLFF program have done over 7000 exercises, totalling more than 190 hours of exercises!
Chuck Ault from SCL kicking off the program with at the Arvada Fire Protection District Training Center
Chuck Ault, Regional Director, Community Health Improvement at SCL Health commented, "Our partnership with Nymbl allows our participants to continue balance training even after they have left our program. This extends our impact and amplifies our mission to create the opportunity for older adults to age in place by preventing injury from falls."
Plotting all of the falls in Arvada showed "clusters" near Senior Communities
Nymbl's partnership with SCL Health has begun to impact the community as a whole. For instance, a plotting of falls in Arvada by the fire department showed that a "cluster" of falls were occurring at or near the Springwood Retirement Community. Many of the residents went through the program, and it was expanded to include daily classes in the community. Kaiona Gardon, Activities Director at Springwood, has seen a tremendous change in the community because of Nymbl. "I see more interaction between residents. They are now talking about fall prevention amongst each other. They are inviting their friends who have never been to Nymbl class. There is an 'excitement' in the air that wasn't there before Nymbl. Most importantly, I see our residents encouraged about their future. I know how disheartening it has been to see other residents falling and being taken away by the paramedics. Nymbl has given our residents hope."
Nymbl believes our partnership with SCL Health has had a significant positive impact in Arvada. A partnership like this is a great example of healthcare, healthtech and communities working together to make a real difference.

TSG Innovation Lab Partners with Nymbl to Reduce Patient Falls
The TSG Innovation Lab sent out the following press release today. We're excited to be partnering with them!
"The TSG Innovation Lab is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Nymbl Science, a digital health company specializing in fall prevention, the number one sentinel event as reported by The Joint Commission. Combining medical science and mobile technology, Nymbl's patented application measures, tracks and improves reflexive balance in the elderly population.
Ed Likovich, Nymbl's CEO, commented: "We all have a personal example of how a fall has significantly impacted a loved one's life; in fact, I lost my Grandfather to a fall. Through this exciting partnership with the TSG Innovation Lab, we will greatly increase our reach to seniors throughout the U.S. Most falls are preventable; no one should have to receive the call that their loved one has had a catastrophic fall."
Using Nymbl's cloud-based mobile application, patients complete a risk assessment based on research supported by the American Geriatrics Society and the British Geriatrics Society. Nymbl generates a balance score identifying fall risk areas for each patient and automatically assigns a customized training program to improve their reflexive balance, to move them out of the high fall risk category. Early adopters of this new technology have realized a reduction in their patient fall profile by up to 50%.
Nymbl will be joining other strategic partners of the TSG Innovation Lab, a recently established business unit within The Sullivan Group (TSG). "We are very excited that Nymbl has joined the TSG Innovation Lab," stated Dan Sullivan, MD, JD, President and CEO of TSG. "Preventing patient falls has always been an important part of patient safety. Unfortunately, patient falls remain one of the leading causes of litigation in the aging services community. We are optimistic that Nymbl's scalable solution to improve the reflexive balance in millions of elderly patients will greatly reduce the number of patient falls across the globe."
The TSG Innovation Lab meets monthly with its strategic partners and quarterly with TSG's Leadership Team to evaluate and assess potential new strategic partners. If you'd like to learn more about opportunities to partner with the TSG Innovation Lab or Nymbl, please contact us at innovation@thesullivangroup.com.
About Nymbl Science
Nymbl's mission is to prevent 1 million falls among older adults. Nymbl achieves high engagement by giving older adults a fun experience in only 10 minutes a day using an approach that directly improves an individual's ability to sense and react to the everyday stimulants that could result in a fall. This approach is called dual-tasking, which combines cognitive and physical exercise into an engaging daily program delivered through a smartphone or tablet. The Nymbl intervention is designed to remove the barriers of cost and scalability, making it the ideal population health solution for the problem of falls among older adults.
About TSG Innovation Lab
TSG has worked with over 1,000 acute care facilities; it has been used by 95,000 clinicians, and it has an impact on over 20 million patient visits annually. TSG's RSQ® Solutions platform is used by some of the nation's largest hospital systems to successfully reduce adverse outcomes. The TSG Innovation Lab partners with organizations in the healthcare technology space, resulting in co-development of new products and greater exposure to solutions that impact patient safety and improve patient outcomes and patient experience."

Kaiser on Falls: "Doctors Could Do More To Reduce The Risk."
The number of falls for people over 65 is increasing despite best efforts to prevent them. Giving older adults a long to-do list of ways to improve their balance is disengaging and unsuccessful, according to Kaiser. Kaiser Health News addresses what needs to be changed in senior care to actually prevent falls.
Kaiser concludes "Older adults worried about falling typically receive general advice: Take an exercise class. Get your vision checked. Stop taking medications for sleep. Install grab bars in the bathroom. … That sort of advice hasn't proved to be very effective: Nearly three times more adults age 75 and older died from falls in 2016 than in 2000, according to a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association."
Kaiser's recommendations are:
Get a Fall Risk Assessment
Be careful during transitions, especially after a hospital stay
They also conclude that doctors should communicate to older adults in a supportive, non-patronizing way that with language that reinforces the importance of independence, not fear of falling.
Nymbl offers a webinar about why fall prevention hasn't worked. We encourage you to sign up to learn what Nymbl is doing to prevent falls.
CBT doesn't reduce fear of falling after hip surgery more than usual care
A recently released study by the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine shows that a "cognitive intervention for fear of falling gets the same results as 'usual' care". This study, conducted on patients who had recently had hip fractures, shows that fear of falling was not just an emotional state that can be reduce by behavioral therapy.
We are not surprised by this. Nymbl's premise is that fear of falling is reduced by actual balance improvement, and the best way to improve balance is through dual-tasking cognitive and physical exercises. CBT is good at treating perceived fears, but fears derived from a real physical deficit require real change at the impairment level, not just the belief level. When a patient can noticeably detect that their balance has improved, the fear of falling is reduced because they feel more stable.
For more research about balance, dual-tasking and falls, please see our balance research ebook. See the full JAMDA study here.

Aaron is active in the Denver startup community as the Product Track Chair at Denver Startup Week and as an instructor for General Assembly. He has multiple degrees in environmental sciences from (naturally) Duke University, where he also played center on the football team.
Please welcome Aaron to this important role as we continue to grow our impact in the Healthcare industry.
Rockies Venture Club Leads Nymbl Seed Financing Round
Nymbl has closed the first round of its Series Seed Financing Round, which exceed the target. The round was led by the Rockies Venture Club (RVC), a Denver-based Angel Club that is the longest tenured in the United States.
This new capital, which is authorized up to $1.4 million, will be used to build the sales and customer experience teams, and bolster the tech team as the company continues to scale to reach its goal of preventing one million falls.
"We are excited to have the capital to accelerate our growth trajectory in both Senior Living and Healthcare, which are really beginning to take off", commented Ed Likovich, CEO of Nymbl, "RVC has been a great lead for our Seed Round. They have an excellent process that allowed us to meet literally hundreds of qualified angel investors, and have introduced us to investor syndicates all over the country. We are happy that the bulk of this round came out of Colorado."
The Financial Benefit (ROI) of Implementing a Fall Prevention Program
Do Fall Prevention Programs Make Financial Sense?
We recently spoke with a medium sized Independent Living Community who was looking to implement a fall prevention program. Their fall statistics in the past five months:
86 Falls
10% required hospitalization
2 surgeries
2 moveouts
2 signed risk agreements
This is "normal" for most Senior Living Communities – essentially on fall every two days. We've worked with many communities where, according to the STEADI protocol, between 50% and 80% of residents are at acute fall risk.
So what can be done?
The obvious choice is to implement a fall prevention program. We have developed a step-by-step article on how to implement a program that we'd be happy to assist with. Or contact us if you'd like to explore the benefits of working with Nymbl.
Calculating the ROI of implementing a Fall Prevention Program
Before committing to running a fall prevention program, it's important to understand the Cost/Benefit of the program to see if it will help the bottom line of the community. In the community above, the return from implementing the program was projected at 6.5 times the cost, an ROI (Return on Investment) of 650%!
How is an ROI this high possible from a fall prevention program? The average cost of a move out in independent living $8000, from lost rent (1 month at least) and marketing cost to replace that resident. So the community has already had a hit to their bottom line of $16,000 in lost rent and incremental marketing costs in just 5 months. Projected over a year, the cost will total nearly $35,000! Nymbl costs just a fraction of this. So even recognizing that not all falls can be prevented, it's an extremely good investment.
There are other costs that may not be taken into consideration when you calculate the advantage of a Nymbl fall prevention program. How much of your staff time is taken up by dealing with resident falls: urgent calls to the medical staff, calling the ambulance and calming down residents who may be upset. Falls have ramifications and costs to the entire community, so any fall avoided reduces both cost and suffering in many ways.
Nymbl has developed an ROI cost calculator that will determine the return for your community. Please contact us and we'd be happy to develop the analysis with you. Or attend our free webinar about how to make Falls Prevention work effectively.

Necklace is 'oldest in Americas'
By Helen Briggs
Science reporter, BBC News
A reconstruction of the gold and turquoise beads as a necklace
A necklace found near Lake Titicaca in southern Peru is the oldest known gold object made in the Americas, archaeologists say.
Radiocarbon dating puts its origin at about 4,000 years ago, when hunter-gatherers occupied the area.
The researchers say it appears to have been fashioned from gold nuggets.
The discovery suggests that the use of gold jewellery to signify status began before the appearance of more complex societies in the Andes, they report.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), they say the artefact is the earliest worked gold found not only in the Andes, but the Americas as well.
Study leader Dr Mark Aldenderfer of the department of anthropology at the University of Arizona, Tucson, said it demonstrated an emerging social role for gold beyond simple decoration.
He told BBC News: "The gold reflects a universal tendency for human beings to strive for prestige and status.
"The gold reflects that process in people living in a simple society which is in the process of becoming more complex."
Status symbol
The necklace was found alongside the jawbone of an adult skull in a burial pit next to primitive pithouses at Jiskairumoko, a hamlet that was settled from 3,300 to 1,500 BC.
The researchers believe it had been worn by an adult, probably an elderly woman.
Marks on the necklace suggest that gold nuggets had been flattened with a stone hammer and then carefully bent or hammered around a hard cylindrical object to create a tubular shape.
The gold would have signalled the prestige of its wearer, "not at all different to today," said Dr Aldenderfer.
"This reflects a lot more than just a lovely object," he added. "This is a major piece of how people lived their lives and how they competed for status in the past."

Oil report
Germany to issue first "green bond" in second half of 2020 - sources
BERLIN, Dec 18 (Reuters) - The German government plans to tap into the booming market of sustainable finance by issuing its first "green bond" in the second half of next year, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.
The new type of bond, which will be part of the government's efforts to roll over maturing debt, will have an issue volume of a high-single digit to low double-digit billion euro amount, the sources said.
A finance ministry spokeswoman declined to comment.
The German debt agency is expected to give more details on its plans to issue its first "green bond" on Thursday when it is scheduled to release the auction calendar for 2020.
The decision follows an agreement by European Union member states reached earlier this month on a new set of rules governing which financial products can be called "green" and "sustainable".
Under the agreement, all financial products that claim to be green or sustainable will have to disclose exactly what proportion of their investments are environmentally friendly.

My Special Love è il secondo album della cantante e ballerina statunitense LaToya Jackson, pubblicato nel 1981.

Descrizione

Allmusic lo descrisse "l'album che ha consolidato la carriera della Jackson", sostenendo anche che "Nonostante la sua voce non sia particolarmente forte, Jackson sopperisce ai suoi punti deboli con un approccio alla musica energico e disinibito. Beneficiando di solidi arrangiamenti rhythm and blues-funk e della produzione a tutto tondo di Ollie E. Brown, il suo secondo album è un saporito miscuglio di vivaci suoni uptempo e di tranquilli brani lenti." il primo singolo dell'album fu Stay the Night, una cover del singolo del 1980 di Billy Ocean, che ottenne un moderato successo. Il secondo e ultimo singolo fu I Don't Want You to Go, che non riuscì ad entrare in classifica. Il disco include anche Giving You Up, un duetto con il fratello Randy, e Camp Kuchi Kaiai, che contiene nei cori la voce della sorella Janet. Questo lavoro è divenuto nel tempo il più raro tra quelli di LaToya, ma fu ripubblicato su CD il 28/06/2019 dalla Cherry Pop Records con l'aggiunta di alcune bonus tracks, tre le quali If You Feel the Funk (7" Version) dal suo disco precedente.

Q: Redirect dynamic url to new dynamic URL which is also prettified in htaccess I have a website which has dynamic URLs and they're not currently prettified. I have re-worked the site and included pretty URLs, but the real dynamic folder structure/filename has also changed.
To better explain, the current dynamic URLs look like
http://example.com/liveguide/year.php?year=2017
The new dynamic url for the same page is
http://example.com/shows/show-list.php?year=2017
I use the following:
RewriteRule ^shows/(199[5-9]|200[0-9]|20[0-1][0-7])/?$ /shows/show-list.php?year=$1 [L]

To enable the use of pretty URLS like
http://example.com/shows/2017
So what I'm trying to do is if anyone followed a link of the original dynamic URL, they'll end up on the new clean URL. So far I've just got
RewriteRule ^liveguide/year.php /shows/show-list.php [R=301,L]

Which redirects to the correct page, but you're left with the ugly URL in the address bar. How could I do it so that the new, pretty URL is in the address bar?
Ie someone visits
http://example.com/liveguide/year.php?year=2017
They end up on, and see in their address bar
http://example.com/shows/2017

A: You just need to match the query string, which is in a separate variable, and used in a RewriteCond, which capture to %1, %2 etc. Like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^year=(\d{4})$
RewriteRule ^liveguide/year\.php$ /shows/%1? [R=301,L]

While we are here, do you really need to only match just those exact years? Would it matter if /shows/1234 also got rewritten? Probably not, you can just return a 404 from your PHP, so a simpler rule would be ok, like the above just saying any four numbers. It will also work for future years without changing it.
RewriteRule ^shows/(\d{4})/?$ /shows/show-list.php?year=$1 [L]

The goal is usually not to match exactly what you want, and only that, but rather to ensure nothing else (other parts of the site) will be matched that shouldn't be. Simpler rules are easier to maintain and review later. Your script must already be able to handle bad data anyway, so just let it handle the detailed checking without duplicating it unnecessarily.
Hope this helps.

UHS clinicians record multiple wins at national diabetes awards
Clinicians from University Hospital Southampton (UHS) have been recognised nationally for their pioneering work for diabetes patients.
The team, led by Philip Newland-Jones, clinical director and consultant pharmacist in diabetes and endocrinology at UHS, and Dr Mayank Patel, diabetes consultant at UHS, were named winners in four categories at this year's Quality in Care (QiC) Diabetes Awards.
QiC, together with biopharmaceutical company Sanofi, hosted the awards ceremony to recognise initiatives that improve the quality of life for people living with diabetes – the annual awards are judged NHS peers, patients and industry professionals.
Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood sugar level to become too high. Almost four million people in the UK have been diagnosed with the condition with the UHS diabetes team supporting around 4000 people with diabetes every year.
Mr Newland-Jones – who is also the first consultant pharmacist in the UK to become a clinical lead – was presented with the prestigious UK Diabetes Healthcare Professional of the Year Award which recognises his work in raising standards of care for diabetes patients during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This included introducing a seven-day clinical inpatient diabetes service during the second wave of the pandemic, to ensure continuity of care and to avoid backlogs and reduce risk to patients. It also involved supporting the education of primary care colleagues nationally in the management of diabetes and COVID-19, to try to reduce the risk of hospitalisation in those with diabetes.
His collaborative work with the Diabetes 101 project was recognised in a further two categories which saw it win both the Diabetes Collaborative Project of Year and Unsung Hero award.
Diabetes 101 is a novel diabetes service set up on Twitter in March 2020 in response to the pandemic and first national UK lockdown.
Run by a voluntary team of 19 healthcare professionals across a range of specialities, it aims to deliver reliable information and support for people living with the condition via social media using infographics and engaging posts in a bid to keep patients safe and out of hospital.
The Twitter account now has more than 6,500 followers and a supporting website was developed in January this year for patients to access further content.
Mr Newland-Jones and Dr Patel were also presented with this year's Judges' Special Award for their work as part of the National Diabetes Covid-19 Response Group, a small group of those with significant expertise in inpatient diabetes from across the UK.
The group was set up in March 2020 following information that people with diabetes and Covid-19 infection had poorer outcomes and that the infection may trigger new onset diabetes.
Its purpose was to maintain consistent support for people with diabetes and provide Covid-specific guidance for specialists and non-specialists across UK hospitals and beyond.
Experts in diabetes, pharmacy and psychology, from across the UK met weekly to rapidly create a series of pragmatic guidance documents which have since been used internationally in the management of those with diabetes and the Covid-19 infection.
"This has been an unprecedented time for healthcare across the globe and all patient groups, including those with diabetes, have felt vulnerable as a result of the pandemic," said Mr Newland-Jones.
"As the first pharmacist to be recognised as diabetes healthcare professional of the year, it really does show the potential role pharmacists can have in supporting people with diabetes and I feel we should support more pharmacists specialising in diabetes nationally."
"I am absolutely delighted to receive these awards, particularly for the work during the pandemic, which I share with my amazing colleagues – this was definitely a group effort and our team at University Hospital Southampton are first-class at what they do."
He added: "Recognition is always important and I feel very fortunate to work in a forward thinking organisation that allows us to innovate, develop and implement new ways of working for the benefit of the service and patients."
Dr Patel said: "What an honour to win in so many categories at this year's QiC Awards.

The political ads are over, so now we can be bombarded with ads for luxury cars during the holiday season.
Car shoppers will see so-called "loyalty" and "conquest" discounts in this year's holiday sales campaigns. These deals essentially reward consumers for shopping the competition, even if they intend to stay with the brand they already drive. For example, a customer who owns a Mercedes could get an additional $750 discount for agreeing to buy or lease another. If the same owner went to a BMW showroom, he or she would likely be offered a similar amount to switch teams.
About 20% of shoppers on Edmunds.com who looked at a Mercedes C-Class during the last week of October also looked at a BMW 3 Series, according to data from the site. Among those considering the 3-series, 10% looked at a C-Class, and 10% looked at the Audi A4.
Dealers say discounts specifically tied to retaining existing customers have an impact. "It gives us something else to discuss, to look at a customer and let them know they are special to us," says Robert Camastro, owner of Mercedes of Danbury, Ct.
The loyalty and conquest discounts vary by model and brand. Some Audi dealers are advertising discounts of up to $2,500 if you are trading in a rival luxury brand.
Lincoln, a brand of Ford Motor Co., is offering no-money-down lease deals on its MKX sport utility. Cadillac's deals vary, but the brand is offering no-money-down, $399-a-month leases on its just-launched ATS model, which is designed to compete with the 3 series and Mercedes C Class.
It's interesting to see Lincoln get in on the action, as their ad looks very similar to ads for the other luxury brands, but they need to do something.

Q: Menu button lags a long time when pressed I have a problem with a menu button called "Refresh" that lags for a long time when pressed. Basically, I'm running an async task that downloads xml from a web page and processes it and then finally updates the current list view. Is there some way to prevent this lag or refactor my code to make it more efficient?
Here is my activity where the refresh problem happens:
public class RouteView extends ListActivity implements ActivityUpdater {
private static ArrayList<String> mRouteNames;
private final String TAG = getClass().getName();
private TextView mTv;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.route_view);

    ListView lv = getListView();
    LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
    ViewGroup header = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.header, lv, false);
    lv.addHeaderView(header, null, false);
    mTv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.refresh_status);
    long start = System.nanoTime();
    fetchFeed();
    Log.i("MagicBusV2", "Time: " + (System.nanoTime() - start));
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    fetchFeed();
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    boolean result = super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    menu.add(0, Constants.REFRESH_MENU_ID, 0, R.string.refresh).setIcon(R.drawable.refresh);
    return result;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    boolean result = super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case Constants.REFRESH_MENU_ID:
        long start = System.nanoTime();
        fetchFeed();
        Log.i("MagicBusV2", "Refresh time: " + (System.nanoTime() - start));
        break;
    }
    return result;
}

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    Log.i(TAG, "id: " + (int) id);
    Log.i(TAG, "num_routes: " + mRouteNames.size());
    String routeName = mRouteNames.get((int) id);
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, StopView.class);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.ROUTE_NAME, routeName);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.STOP_VIEW_TYPE, Constants.STOPS_ROUTE);
    startActivity(intent);
}

public void refreshUI() {
    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mRouteNames));
    getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true); // allows users to type to filter results, need to inform them of this some way

    mTv.setText("Refreshed!");
}

    mRouteNames = route_names;
}

private void fetchFeed() {
    mTv.setText("Refreshing...");

    new RefreshFeedTask(this).execute("null");
}

And here is my AsyncTask code:

    try {

    } catch (MBusDataException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

                }
            }
        }
        StopView.setStops(fav_stops);

    }
    return null;
}

}

Thanks for any help you can give. I apologize if I posted too much code; I wasn't sure how much was needed to find potential problems.

A: Look at the constructor of the TimeFeed class. Since you said, that you are downloading and parsing stuff, and I believe that you are perhaps doing those things in the constructor, it will obviously take some time to execute that statement.

Rulesware Mexico Office is Open for Business!
We are delighted to announce that Rulesware Mexico has moved into a larger, permanent office in Guadalajara, giving us more room to grow.
The renovations are complete, and our rapidly growing team at Rulesware Mexico has moved into our beautiful new office. This is Rulesware's second nearshore office (the first is in El Salvador) located in the Central time zone, both featuring a team of full-time, English-speaking, Pega-certified employees who work in partnership with our clients across North and Latin America.
We already have 24 employees at our Guadalajara office, and now we're in our larger, permanent space, we're accelerating recruiting even more. We're hiring for numerous positions, as we work to finding the right people to add to our already strong team.
Rulesware clients have told us time and time again that they love our nearshore model because of its cost efficiencies—to be sure—but also because our small, collaborative, high-powered teams have been consistently able to provide both high quality and fast delivery times.
The same clients also told us that they needed more support in areas like Development Operations (Dev Ops)—so we knew a second nearshore location was our next step. In terms of where, we narrowed down our selection of countries in Latin America to two: Mexico and Colombia.
Coaching, training and strong culture remain priorities.
Training and coaching remain critically important at Rulesware Latin America, extending Rulesware's overall insistence that we hire for fit and culture first—then provide the kinds of training and coaching that will allow employees to flourish as professionals, and to advance in their careers at Rulesware.
Alas notes that another key component of culture building at Rulesware Mexico is encouraging every employee to provide their feedback and suggestions—and to know that they will be heard. "It's so important for us to receive feedback across multiple departments," he says.
And of course there's Pega experience and expertise.
And, of course, Rulesware Latin America is committed to Pega. We love Pega. And in Mexico, like El Salvador, we are committed to working closely with clients on Pega projects that improve their business processes.
According to VP of LATAM Operations Carlos Aponte, enabling on-site consulting for our clients in Latin America will enable better in-person service for all organizations in LATAM who are looking for strong, experienced Pega teams.
All of our nearshore consultants are thoroughly trained and experienced in Pega, as well as fully bilingual in Spanish and English.

Vaginal Pessary: Types, Care and Risks
Have you ever heard of a vaginal pessary? Find out what it's used for here.
Written by Carmen Martín
Last update: 27 January, 2023
The vaginal pessary is a device that has long been used in gynecology. It's designed to treat pelvic organ prolapse through the vagina. For example, this includes uterine prolapse, bladder prolapse, rectal prolapse, and so on.
These conditions occur when the muscles and ligaments that support these organs weaken. This often happens after giving birth to several children or after undergoing pelvic surgeries. And although the vaginal pessary is a very useful form of treatment, it requires certain considerations before being used. Read on to learn more!
What is a vaginal pessary?
A vaginal pessary is a device that is placed in the vagina. Its function is to support the pelvic organs that prolapse in it. To understand it, it's important to explain what the pelvic floor is.
The pelvic floor consists of three compartments. The upper one comprises the bladder and the urethra. Both organs can prolapse into the vagina, which is called "cystocele" and "urethrocele", respectively.
The central compartment consists of the vagina and the uterus. In this case, prolapse of the uterus itself, or even of the vaginal vault, can occur. Finally, the rectum can also prolapse into the vagina, resulting in a "rectocele".
Prolapse is a very common occurrence in women. The reason is that the pelvic floor can be weakened for many reasons. For example, due to prolonged or instrumental births, pelvic surgeries, multiparity, etc.
Other aspects such as obesity, age, or even genetic predisposition also play a role. A vaginal pessary does not cure prolapse as such; however, they do help to control it and slow down its progression.
They work as if they were support for the vagina itself. Thus, they increase the firmness of the muscles and tissues of the pelvic floor. If used properly, they can be a good treatment option for many women. However, they can also cause complications.
What is a vaginal pessary used for?
When the symptoms of vaginal prolapse diminish a person's quality of life, a vaginal pessary should be used.
A vaginal pessary is a device that allows for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse without resorting to surgery. According to a publication in Trials , they are used when the symptoms of prolapse are mild. Also in those women who still have the desire to have children or during pregnancy.
The idea of using this element in pregnancy is to try to keep the uterus in a proper position. Sometimes the enlargement of this organ causes it to move into the vagina. This can lead to entrapment of the uterus and complicate pregnancy.
Pessaries are recommended for women who are at high risk for any surgical procedure. For example, if they suffer from chronic diseases, such as heart disease.
On the other hand, they can be used to check whether surgery is indicated or not. Prolapse often leads to urinary incontinence. By placing a pessary, this should disappear.
However, it is possible that the incontinence is caused by other reasons. If so, pessary placement would not fix it. Therefore, it serves to discern which cases of incontinence are operable and which are not. This is called the "pessary test."
The different types of vaginal pessaries
Most pessaries are made of silicone. The size varies depending on age and vaginal length. Usually, younger women need larger pessaries than older women, for comfort.
According to Mayo Clinic specialists, there are different types of pessaries depending on their shape and characteristics. First, there's the ring-shaped vaginal pessary. This is the most commonly used in women who suffer from mild prolapse.
On the other hand, there is the doughnut or donut type. These are indicated when the prolapse is more severe. There's also the incontinence pessary, which is used when there is stress urinary incontinence (when coughing, laughing, or bending over).

How is a vaginal pessary inserted?
Before inserting a vaginal pessary, a physical examination of the woman must be performed. According to experts, it's essential to carry out a gynecological examination in which the type of prolapse is evaluated.
During the examination, the vagina should be measured to decide on the most appropriate size of the element. It should be as accurate as possible and should not be inserted beyond the vagina if it is too large.
When it's too small, it may come out during urination or defecation. You may need to try several different sizes to find the most suitable vaginal pessary.
To insert it, you should ideally wear gloves or have clean and disinfected hands. The same should apply to the device. In addition, the device should be changed and checked frequently.
It's advisable that the woman should have a check-up with her gynecologist at least every three to six months. In some cases, the replacement of the pessary can be carried out by the woman herself.
However, there are others that have a special placement or are not designed for long periods. Therefore, it should be the doctor who recommends what is best in each specific case.
Possible risks and side effects
It's important to ask your gynecologist all the questions you may have before the pessary is placed.
Despite their benefits, these devices are not without risks and complications. As a study published in Clinical and Research in Gynecology and Obstetrics explains, pessaries can cause injury to the vaginal wall.
In turn, this can cause pain and bleeding. The vaginal wall can progressively wear away, causing abnormal communication to form between the vagina and the rectum. This is called "rectovaginal fistula". They can even appear between the bladder and the vagina (vesicovaginal fistulas).
Being a foreign body in the vagina, it's likely to increase the secretion in this area. Likewise, the risk of infections is increased. For example, by Actinomyces. The inflammatory process can lead to cellular alterations with malignant potential.
In some cases, although very infrequently, the vaginal pessary has been associated with peritonitis and other intestinal complications. It has also been seen to become impacted in the vagina.

Care and recommendations
Wearing a vaginal pessary requires certain aspects to be taken into account. First of all, a woman will probably have to try several different types and sizes until she finds the right one. In addition, they often have to remove, clean, and reinsert the pessary themselves.
However, if there are difficulties in carrying out these maneuvers, they can be done in a doctor's office. On the other hand, depending on the type of vaginal pessary used, it may be necessary to leave it in place during sexual intercourse.
This can interfere with the comfort and how to choose the most appropriate method of contraception. If complications arise, such as sores or wear and tear of the vaginal wall, the recommendation is to remove the device. Ideally, it is best to remain without it for two to three weeks.
In addition, estrogens and lubricants are often prescribed for application to the area. Estrogens help the vaginal epithelium to remain strong and reconstitute itself. They can be administered in the form of creams, rings, or pills.
When it comes to cleaning the vaginal pessary, follow all the instructions of the doctor and the brand. This reduces the risk of vaginal infections.
What to remember
A vaginal pessary is a device used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. For example, this may occur when the uterus, bladder, or rectum presses through the vagina. It's a good treatment option in women for whom surgery is contraindicated. They are available in different sizes and types.
However, they can cause injury, discomfort, and other complications. Therefore, a doctor's instructions should always be followed. It's also important to have frequent gynecological check-ups.

Texans still waiting for DE Clowney to return

Updated: Apr 02, 2019 at 11:39 am
Marc Sessler
Rapoport: Texans want Clowney to be healthy before new contract
Texans fans have waited patiently for it.
Waited patiently for the chance to see a healthy J.J. Watt paired all season long with the run-stuffing, whirlwind known as Jadeveon Clowney.
Nearly two weeks into camp, the wait continues as Clowney, entering a critical contract year, has yet to engage in a full practice with his Houston teammates as he continues to get right from a minor knee surgery in January.
'Top 100 Players of 2018': Jadeveon Clowney | No. 32
"When we feel like he's in football shape, we'll put him on the field," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Sunday, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop.
O'Brien returned Tuesday with a slightly sunnier update on one of the team's most imposing defensive assets, saying: "I think Clowney's getting better and better, being closer and closer to being able to do more and more. We'll see how it goes. Probably do a little bit more next week in preparation for San Francisco. See how that week goes, and then, at the end of that week, make a decision relative to [the] L.A. [Rams] and things like that. We've got a good plan for him, and he's doing a good job. He's working at it."
Clowney has dabbled in team drills, but spent most of camp working on his own. Still, defensive ends coach Anthony Weaver offered a dose of optimism for a player who led the team last year with a career-high 9.5 sacks.
"He's been very limited in terms of what he's done on the field, but he looks great," Weaver said. "I know [the plan is] to get him as physically strong as we can, just so hopefully we can avoid some of those injuries he's had in the past that have nagged him throughout the season."
Whatever it takes. The Texans are angling to help one a key cog achieve full liftoff before the real games begin. Nagged by knee issues throughout his career, Clowney's primary task is to be ready for the club's Week 1 clash with the New England Patriots.
After all, this is what Houston -- and its fans -- envisioned from the start: Watt and Clowney kicking up grass, tossing blockers to the dirt, and making life tough out of the gate for a 41-year-old Tom Brady.


To give the ray for the people under the dark.
To celebrate the unforgettable day of his demise.
You are always alive in our Arakaneses' heart.

Opinion: Can Andy BAE-shear and other top governors save America from itself?
Ricky L. Jones
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has become somewhat of a national political celebrity. Andy Beshear? Celebrity?! Wow! Who saw that one coming?
NPR recently did a story on Beshear and the popularity resulting from his daily coronavirus updates. Morning Edition host Noah Inskeep reported, "an ocean of memes and videos celebrate Beshear — Beshear as Mr. Rogers, as Captain America, as Ryan Gosling." People with less desirable governors are making "trade offers" for him on social media. Apparently, you can even buy "Andy BAE-shear" T-shirts. BAE! Really?!
I know and like Andy Beshear... oh, I'm sorry... BAE-shear a lot, but he isn't the most charismatic fellow in the world. So, what the hell is this all about?
Editorial:Follow social distancing rules or risk the lives of your family, friends. It's that simple
I guess the "Gov. Bae phenomenon" isn't really hard to explain if one pays attention. We're living through an actual time of crisis now, not a hypothetical one, and poor political leadership is rearing its head on multiple levels.
The president of the United States has largely abdicated his rightful political point-position in this moment of national crisis and left governors to stand in the gap. Some have done better than others. Along with Beshear, California's Gavin Newsom, New York's Andrew Cuomo, Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer and Washington's Jay Inslee are among the standouts. Meanwhile, Texas' Greg Abbott, Florida's Rick DeSantis, Oklahoma's Kevin Stitt, Tennessee's Bill Lee and others have left a lot to be desired.
To be sure, the love currently heaped on Gov. Bae isn't because he is flashy. He's not! He's just a responsible, sane leader in a country that's gotten too comfortable with madmen. He'll have to work hard to maintain that sanity as he tries to move the state into the future, because his Republican opponents in Kentucky are feverishly working to keep it in the past.
As COVID-19 descended upon the country, Kentucky's Republican-dominated legislature passed a ballot measure to add language to the state's Constitution declaring women do not have a legal right to an abortion by a 71-21 vote on March 10. Republican Rep. Joe Fischer said the proposal will help to "finally end the legal slaughter of unborn children" in Kentucky.
Kentucky coronavirus live updates:Get the latest information here
A little over a week later, while citizens hunkered down in their homes, Kentucky's Republicans spearheaded and passed a new voter ID bill. Secretary of State Michael Adams reiterated the long-standing GOP argument that voter fraud is a great threat to election integrity and this bill would "restore confidence in the voting process." Of course, that is a lie.
A few years ago, the New York Times conducted a national study after ongoing conservative claims of rampant voter fraud. Their conclusion on how much actual fraud exists? "Next to none."
The findings told us what we already knew. Voter fraud isn't a problem in America; low voter turnout is. As Gov. Bae said, "Voting should be made easier, not more difficult." But Republicans don't want that, and this is just the latest chapter in their long book of voter suppression. The approach makes sense if one understands Republicans usually lose when voter turnout is higher.
It gets even crazier.
McConnell:Trump impeachment 'diverted the attention of the government' from coronavirus
While some celebrate Bae, others see his current efforts to save lives in Kentucky as "dictatorial." Republican Rep. Savannah Maddox actually pushed a bill that would limit the governor's powers in times of crisis and allow people to sue if his mandates damage their businesses.
Gov. Bae coolly smiled and responded, "Isn't this silly?"
Speaking of silly. Bae has to lead a state that considers umbrellas more dangerous than guns. Don't forget, Kentucky is the place where a horde of men (some masked), organized by "We Are KY Gun Owners," paraded through the state's capitol building armed to the teeth with pistols and high-powered rifles in January. The Courier Journal's Joe Gerth reported umbrellas or sticks that are used for protest signs are banned in the capitol because "they can be used as weapons," but guns are just fine. Go figure.

While portions of America may be cuddling up to Gov. Bae, we would also be wise to remember that he wasn't widely loved in the Bluegrass state not so long ago. Maybe he still isn't. He only beat unlikable former Gov. Matthew Bevin by less than half a percentage point (49.2% to 48.8%) last November.
But maybe, just MAYBE, this crisis will teach Kentucky and other states that good leadership and sensible approaches to the world actually matter. Maybe Andy Beshear and other mentally stable governors can save a country that continues to defend political maniacs from itself. Then again, maybe we'll simply go back to "business as usual" when this thing passes. Who knows?
Either way, enjoy the love while it lasts... BAE!
