Protection of patient privacy is of paramount importance to Trillium Health (hereinafter referred to as the "Organization") and this Organization is committed to complying fully with all federal and state privacy protection laws and regulations. This Organization is committed to maintaining the privacy of your protected health information ("PHI"), which includes electronic PHI, in accordance with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and their regulations (collectively the "HIPAA Rules"), which includes information about your medical condition and the care and treatment you receive from the Organization and other health care providers.
This Notice details how your PHI may be used and disclosed to third parties for purposes of your care, payment for your care, health care operations of the Organization, and for other purposes permitted or required by law and the HIPAA Rules. This Notice also details your rights regarding your PHI.
The Organization may use and/or disclose your PHI for purposes related to your care, payment for your care, and health care operations of the Organization. The following are examples of the types of uses and/or disclosures of your PHI that may occur. These examples are not meant to include all possible types of use and/or disclosure.
Care – In order to provide, coordinate and manage your care, the Organization will provide your PHI to those health care professionals, whether on the Organization's staff or not, directly involved in your care so that they may understand your medical condition and needs and provide advice or treatment (e.g., a specialist or laboratory). For example, a physician treating you for a condition such as arthritis may need to know what medications have been prescribed for you by the Organization's physicians.
Payment – In order to get paid for health care provided by the Organization, the Organization may provide your PHI, directly or through a billing service, to appropriate third party payors, pursuant to their billing and payment requirements. For example, the Organization may need to provide your health insurance carrier or, if you are over 65, the Medicare program with information about health care services that you received from the Organization so that the Organization can be properly reimbursed. The Organization may also need to tell your insurance plan about the need to hospitalize you so that the insurance plan can determine whether or not it will pay for the expense.
Health Care Operations – In order for the Organization to operate in accordance with applicable law and insurance requirements and in order for the Organization to provide quality and efficient care, it may be necessary for the Organization to compile, use and/or disclose your PHI. For example, the Organization may use your PHI in order to evaluate the performance of the Organization's personnel in providing care to you or to support the business activities of the Organization. These operational activities may include: quality assessment and improvement activities, training programs involving students, trainees, or practitioners under supervision, and general administrative activities.
De-identified Information – Your PHI is altered so that it does not identify you and, even without your name, cannot be used to identify you.
Business Associate – To a business associate, which is someone who the Organization contracts with to provide a service necessary for your treatment, payment for your treatment and health care operations (e.g., billing service or transcription service). The Organization will obtain satisfactory written assurance, in accordance with applicable law, that the business associate and its subcontractors will appropriately safeguard your PHI.
To You or a Personal Representative – To you, or to a person who, under applicable law, has the authority to represent you in making decisions related to your health care.

For musicians of all levels!
with an interest in jazz and the art of improvisation!
Now in its 24th year, the Twin Cities Jazz Workshop is one of the most established music programs in the metro area. During the summer students play their instruments as part of small jazz combos that meet for three hours each day over the course of a one-week session. They receive instruction from a top-notch faculty of jazz professionals whose credits include international tours, numerous CDs, and several major awards. Each workshop session concludes with a Saturday afternoon student concert and live recording at one of Minnesota's premier jazz venues, Icehouse Restaurant in Minneapolis.
New for 2019 The Workshop is offering weekly sessions for students and a special summer session for adults.
While being tuned into the fundamentals of the jazz tradition, workshop attendees learn a repertoire that ranges from swing classics to Latin jazz. Importantly, the workshop strives to create a setting that is not only informative, but also both inspiring and fun. Students learn a lot and laugh a lot. Besides improving their own musical skills as individuals, they also meet other young jazz musicians and have a great opportunity to make new friends and connections- many young jazz groups have been formed by students who first met playing in a combo at the workshop.
Since 1996, hundreds of aspiring musicians have studied at the jazz workshop. In anonymous student surveys taken over ten years, 98% of past workshop students said they would recommend the program to a friend. The Workshop has received support from numerous organizations including The Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, The Minneapolis Arts Commission, The Dakota Foundation for Jazz Education and The McKnight Foundation.
Visit the other pages on this web site to learn more about the program and how to sign up!
Morning and afternoon sessions of the Workshop will meet at Blake School's Northrup Campus at 511 Kenwood Parkway, Minneapolis. Centrally Located next to the Walker Arts Center and Sculpture Garden, the facility offers air conditioning, tuned pianos, and lots of space for up and coming jazz musicians!
This activity its made possible, in part, by funds provided by the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC) from an appropriation by the Minnesota Legislature. Additional Support is provided by the Dakota Foundation for Jazz Education.


The Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St. Damien of Molokai on May 10th.
St. Damien was a priest from Belgium who selflessly volunteered to minister to lepers in Molokai, Hawaii, ultimately contracting leprosy himself and dying. You can read more of his story at Catholic Culture.
First, make a little Hawaiian beach scene complete with real sand and shells (see photo).
Print some pineapple cutouts and place them in the middle of your beach scene. Put it on your kitchen table or in some visible place.
Next, tell your children the story of St. Damien, describing his acts of love and his total gift of self to the leper colony at Molokai.
Then, let your children know that their activity for the day is to "catch" one another acting as St. Damien would — selfless and loving behaviors like helping Mom without being asked, being kind to a sibling when they don't want to, etc.
If you really want to get in the spirit of St. Damien's feast day, you can make a dinner of Hawaiian Chicken (we had this last year and it is simple and delicious)!
Top off your meal with tasty Tropical S'mores.
Don't have time to do all of this? Then just don a plastic lei, talk about St. Damien, and enjoy a slice of fresh pineapple. Aloha!
My husband, David, and I were in Hawaii last November and found this statue of St. Damien outside the state capitol building in Honolulu. What an inspiration!
St. Damien of Molokai, pray for us.
Great ideas Margaret! I'm really going to have to try that mango rice!!
Thanks Lori! The rice is excellent! So happy to find that recipe!
Margaret, I love your creative ideas to deepen our relationships with the Church Triumphant! When we imitate the virtues of the Saints, we grow closer to our Lord Jesus and bring our little children to Him.
St Damien, pray for us!
Thank you Sita! I completely agree!
Margaret!! I love this post! Thanks for ALL your great ideas!! And for the pics & simple tips that encourage us! You shine with the holy spirit SO brightly!! love it! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much Courtney! So glad you liked it!


Caused by normal wear and tear of the spine, herniated discs can often be managed without surgery.
Your cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae. The discs between your vertebrae allow your neck to be flexible. They are made up of two types of cartilage, an inner and an outer part. The outer part of your discs is comprised of tough layers of cartilage. The inner part of your discs is made up of cartilage that is more "jelly-like." This inner cartilage acts as a shock absorber.
If the outer cartilage develops a tear, the inner "jelly-like" cartilage can then squeeze out of the disc. If this disc material pushes on your nerves, you can experience severe pain down your arm. This is often called radiculopathy. The tears are typically caused by degeneration of the discs (wear and tear). Patients will often describe the onset of their symptoms after lifting something and/or bending or twisting the neck.
In addition to pain, pressure on nerves from a disc herniation can also cause numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness in your arm. Extremely large herniations can compress your spinal cord leading to balance difficulties, problems using your hands, and even paralysis of your arms and legs. This is called myelopathy and can be considered a medical emergency. If you experience bowel or bladder problems and have progressively worsening weakness in your arms or legs, you should seek medical attention immediately.
The diagnosis is first suspected when a patient complains of pain radiating from their neck down their arm. Patients will also commonly complain of numbness, tingling, and burning down their arm. They may also have muscle weakness. After a detailed examination, the diagnosis can be initially evaluated with plain X-rays and confirmed with an MRI or CT scan of the cervical spine.
Luckily, most disc herniations do not require surgery because your body can naturally absorb the herniated disc. Therefore, many patients can initially be treated with pain management, physical therapy, and activity modification.
Patients with more severe or persistent symptoms may benefit from an epidural spinal injection. Patients with very severe pain and those who do not achieve long-lasting pain relief from injections may be candidates for surgery.
One of the most common surgical procedures we use to remove the herniated disc is called a minimally invasive decompression (laminoforaminotomy) and is performed through a half-inch incision through the back of the neck. Patients are able to go home the same day as the procedure.


I went and saw the new Batman with my hubby and this is what I wore.
I love the idea of mixing neon's with neutrals (previous posts doing so here and here).
I don't generally wear two shades of neon colors together (well not since the early 90's anyway) and I loved how it look when I was styling my outfit. What do you guys think? Fans of neon's or leave it in the 90's?
I really love that top! Especially the cut outs in the back. I don't own anything neon but I always like it on other people.
Lovely neon contrast between your top and bag !
PRETTY COLOR AND I LOVE THE UP-DO.. I TRIED DOING THAT BUT TURNED UP NOT NEAT ENOUGH.. I GUESS IT TAKES PRACTICE, NO?
Great colors ... nice bag.
such a cute laidback look!
Major fan of the neons and could not be happier they are back!

Home Health Health hazard in the burger: Scheiblettenkäse is so dangerous
Health hazard in the burger: Scheiblettenkäse is so dangerous
By archyworld
Increased phosphate intake increases blood pressure in healthy adults
Burgers are in the truest sense on everyone's lips. While many know that white flour burger buns are rather unhealthy and meat consumption should be only moderate, since here too cancer-causing substances are released by over-searing, it is rather unknown that Scheiblettenkäse is anything but healthy. In fact, this contains many phosphates. As researchers have found, high levels of these salts can massively increase blood pressure even in healthy young adults.
Fast food puts a strain on the body
Lots of fat and carbohydrates and low fiber: fast food is an enormous burden on our body. According to experts, it takes several hours to get rid of the high-fat and high-calorie foods. However, not only the unhealthy fats are problematic, but also certain salts, which are often found in such foods. For example, in processed cheese, which is used to make burgers, you can usually find a lot of phosphates. Those who take large amounts of it risk high blood pressure, as researchers have now found out.
In processed cheese, which is used among other things for burgers, usually many phosphates are included. Those who consume large quantities of them risk high blood pressure. (Image: arska n / fotolia.com)
Unhealthy phosphates
Although phosphates are also found in natural foods, today's eating habits are leading us to ingest more and more of these salts.
After all, they are used as an additive in numerous industrially produced foods: phosphates support the preservation of many meat products, they hold coffee powder free-flowing and make spreadable cheese spreadable.
It has been known for some time that phosphates in disc cheese and co-products can damage your health.
For example, scientific studies have shown that phosphates can alter the inner walls of vessels, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Also, the risk of osteoporosis is increased by too much phosphate in the body.
Even healthy young adults face health consequences: if they ingest too much phosphate through their diet, blood pressure and heart rate rise.
This is shown by a study led by the University of Basel, which has now been published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Risk also for healthy
As stated in a statement by the University of Basel, a low-phosphate diet has long been recommended for people with chronic kidney problems because high levels of phosphate, for example, lead to deposits in blood vessels.
With increased phosphate intake via the diet, however, the probability of developing or even dying of vascular calcification or cardiovascular disease also increases in healthy people.
This is indicated by epidemiological studies that examine the relationship between potential risk factors and specific diseases.
A research team led by Professor Reto Krapf from the University of Basel has now for the first time checked this statistical relationship in a study of 20 healthy subjects.
Half of the study participants received an additional dose of sodium phosphate in tablet form for eleven weeks as part of their normal diet, which increased the phosphate content in their blood to an above-average level, albeit widespread among the general population.
Subjects in the second group took in a drug that binds phosphate and inhibits uptake into the body. In addition, they received saline to make them equal to the first group in terms of sodium administration.
Blood pressure increased and heart rate increased
After six weeks, the doctors examined how the different diets affect various indicators of cardiovascular function, such as blood pressure and heart rate.
A comparison of the two groups showed that increased phosphate uptake significantly increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure in young, healthy adults – by 4.1 and 3.2 millimeters of mercury, respectively.
At the same time, the pulse rate increased on average by four beats per minute.
As a cause, the scientists suspect that the increased phosphate intake or an increased serum phosphate level affects the sympathetic nervous system, which affects heart activity and blood pressure.
However, the effect was reversible: Two months after completion of the study, the subjects had returned to normal.
Vitamin D without effect
In a second phase, it was examined how the additional administration of vitamin D has an effect. Although the vitamin increases the uptake of phosphates in the gut, no impact on cardiovascular levels was observed in either group.
"Our findings provide an important explanation for the relationship between intake of dietary phosphate and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population," said study leader Reto Krapf.
"These conclusions are relevant to public health and should be further explored through larger studies in different populations." (Ad)

Buse Aydın has been in prison for twenty-four years, has been kept in solitary confinement for the past five years and is not allowed to undergo gender affirmation surgery.
Buse has been in solitary confinement for the past five years at Tekirdağ prison deprived of all her social rights and has been in prison for twenty-four years. Buse's friend, Diren Çoşkun, spoke with us about Buse's condition and said that she is deprived of all social rights and is not allowed to see the other prisoners for "security" reasons.
Buse Aydın wrote a petition for her gender affirmation surgery 2,5 years ago to the Ministry of Justice. She received reports from the Training and Research Hospital and from the Forensic Medicine Institute stating, "gender affirmation is necessary for her mental health." However, even though there are two reports from two different government agencies, the prosecution wrote to the Ministry of Justice questioning whether the surgery is a gender affirmation surgery, ignoring the previous decisions and sending the file back to the Forensic Medicine Institute.
Buse Aydın is not provided with the essential needs that correspond with her gender identity on the grounds that she has a blue [ie male] national identity card.
Buse's friend and trans woman Diren Çoşkun, who shared the same cell with Buse Aydın for some time, said that after she ended her own hunger strike, Buse too started a hunger strike for her right to surgery, but that then she had to stop. Buse Aydın has been in prison for twenty-four years and right now she is forced to stay in a single cell in a men's prison.
Buse Aydın's friends have been using the hashtags #BuseninSesiOlalım, #BuseyeSesVer for her voice be heard.
Recently, a trans inmate's breast operation was accepted on the grounds that it was "required for the person's psychological and physical health" by a report prepared by Kocaeli University Medical Science Forensic Medicine Department. The costs for the operation were covered by the Ministry of Health.


Elephant Trekking in Mondul kiri, the Northeast of Cambodia.
Preah Vihear Tours From Siem Reap.
Great adventure to Preah Vihear temple.
Great adventure, It's quiet and peaceful to see it late in the afternoon.
Beng Mealea was built as a Hindu temple, but there are some carvings depicting buddhist motifs.Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps. For years it was difficult to reach, but a road recently built to the temple complex of Koh Ker passes Beng Mealea and more visitors are coming to the site, as it is 77 km from Siem Reap by road.
Scholars assumed it was built during the reign of king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century. Smaller in size than Angkor Wat, the king's main monument, Beng Mealea nonetheless ranks among the Khmer empire's larger temples: the gallery which forms the outer enclosure of the temple is 181 m by 152 m. It was the center of a town, surrounded by a moat 1025 m by 875 m large and 45 m wide.
Beng Mealea is oriented toward the east, but has entranceways from the other three cardinal directions. The basic layout is three enclosing galleries around a central sanctuary, collapsed at present. The enclosures are tied with "cruciform cloisters", like Angkor Wat. Structures known as libraries lie to the right and left of the avenue that leads in from the east. There is extensive carving of scenes from Hindu mythology, including the Churning of the Sea of Milk and Vishnu being borne by the bird god Garuda.

Are you a talented writer, who would love the opportunity to write a regular editorial column which included your tips for upcoming sports events?
How would you like the opportunity to have your opinions read by the thousands of people, who visit EveryTip each day?
We are looking for new contributors in all areas (racing, football, cricket, greyhounds, tennis, golf and other sports). While this work will be unpaid, you will be able to include your own affiliate or blog link (subject to clearance) in every post. EveryTip now receives in excess of 400,000 page-views per month. It's an excellent opportunity to make a name for yourself, build a following and establish a foothold in sports journalism.
You do not need to be experienced, but we demand a high level of written English. We are very busy and do not have time to edit poorly written content. We are looking for contributors who are prepared to submit articles of at least 500 words, at least once per week. We want people we can rely on and particularly welcome submissions from those of you who are retired. Good writing is a dying art, sadly and it is older people who tend to do it best.
If this interests you, send us a 500-word preview of any upcoming sporting event/meeting along with your tips. You won't be penalised if your tips go down in flames! The most important thing is that you can write interestingly and correctly. If you can do this, on a regular basis, then we will happily welcome you to the EveryTip team and help to get you established (with prominent links to your posts from our most-viewed pages).
If you want to also publish an Excel spreadsheet or Google Sheets, recording your results in a profit/loss table, then we can also link to this from all of your posts.
Show us what you can do!
We look forward to hearing from you. We will respond within 24 hours to each and every applicant.

AKA "What if Garfield used memetics?"
So, here's another idea that came into my head, and I'd like to get some feedback on.
Basically, it revolves around a newspaper strip, created and ran by this Jim Davis-type through his company. The comic itself is your standard gag-a-day strip, with hit-and-miss jokes and whatnot. However, there's subtle memetics put into them that makes people that read it want to buy the merch based off of it. And said merch, in turn, makes them want to get other people to read the comic and begin the cycle anew.
That's the underlying idea of it, although I'm sure that there needs to be more to it. Let me know your thoughts.
The premise by itself is ok, but I feel there's a lot of potential storytelling with this idea.
How do you think the Foundation would react to a small, I assume upstart, newspaper comic company starting to skyrocket extremely fast? Not to mention the possibility of an agent accidentally being infected by the memetics.
I don't know what your plans for this idea are, but I feel the most interesting path would be writing a story, rather than leaving it as an SCP article. I don't know the site rules on whether a piece of fiction has to have an accompanying SCP mainlist article or whatnot, but this idea seems like the start to a plot.
And of course, while not required, I think an actual attempt at a comic strip would be pretty cool, but certainly not required.

It wasn't actually Sunday, but I'm using the generic title :) This Saturday, I was coming from the pool and stopped to buy some strawberries, as I've seen them everywhere lately and took a chance to give them a try. Tasteless, of course, because the local sorts have not grown yet. So, as I wasn't going to get much pleasure from eating them, I decided to make a tart, to at least use their aesthetic potential.
The pastry base was a personally adapted sponge cake, which turned out perfect. I used three yolks and a spoon of water, which I beat with five spoons of brown sugar until it had the consistency of cream. Four egg whites were beaten with a knife tip of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla sugar. I then mixed the two manually, being careful to keep the airy texture. Added five spoons of flour and a bit of baking powder and put everything in the oven for half an hour. I was very excited to use my new tart tray, which is indeed non-stick and did its job perfectly.
I then had a little accident, as I was trying to warm a ready-made chocolate glaze in the microwave. 20 seconds in it got burned and the plastic cover made the whole house stink for hours. But I imediatelly got myself together and made another glaze out of cooking chocolate and butter, which I melted and mixed over bain-marie. I used about 100 g of each. Since I didn't want to wait much for the glaze to get a little thicker, I set it on the cake and then covered the outer part with strawberries cut in half. In the middle I sprinkled some almonds I cut roughly on the spot. As the glaze was still very hot, it mostly gathered in the middle of the cake and the butter raised to the top. That is why after half an hour in the fridge, the middle was white and everything was better than expected! I took half of it to my parents', who are regular cake eaters, as my mum is a very passionate cook and baker. I've already picked the recipes for May. This week, I'll just stick with some basic vegetarian recipes, because I don't have time or energy for anything fancy.

Q: How could I compare the results of two csv files that only contains numbers? I have two csv files with 200 columns each. The two files have the exact same numbers in rows and columns. I want to compare each columns separately.
The idea would be to compare column 1 value of file "a" to column 1 value of file "b" and check the difference and so on for all the numbers in the column (there are 100 rows) and write out a number that in how many cases were the difference more than 3.
I would like to repeat the same for all the columns.
import pandas as pd
df=pd.read_csv('a.csv')
de=pd.read_csv('b.csv')

A: I came up with something and I hope it helps you:
# file1.csv:
#
# 1;1;1
# 3;3;3
# 5;5;5
# 7;7;7
#
# files2.csv:
#
# 2;2;2
# 4;3;4
# 6;5;6
# 8;8;8

import csv

# change this to 200 for your file
columns_num = 3

# a dictionary that will hold our columns and the number of differences
diff = {}  # {column_index: number_of_differences}

with open("file1.csv", 'r') as file1, open("file2.csv", 'r') as file2:
    reader1, reader2 = csv.reader(file1), csv.reader(file2)

    # here we go line by line
    for line1, line2 in zip(reader1, reader2):
        # your delimiter may not be the same
        line1 = line1[0].split(";")  # output : [1, 1, 1]
        line2 = line2[0].split(";")

        # here we go column by column
        for i in range(0, columns_num):
            if line1[i] != line2[i]:
                try:
                    # if the column exist, we increment its value
                    diff[i] += 1
                except KeyError:
                    # if the column doesn't exist, we add it
                    diff[i] = 1

print(diff)

# Output:
# {0: 4, 1: 2, 2: 4}

diff_new = {i: diff[i] for i in diff if diff[i] > 3}
print(diff_new)

# Output:
# {0: 4, 2: 4}

A: import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

file1 = pd.read_csv("file1.csv", header=None)
file2 = pd.read_csv("file2.csv", header=None)

diff_mask = file1 != file2

# count per column where difference is more than three
diff_more_3 = np.sum(diff_mask, axis=0) > 3

# Get the number of columns where that is the case.
print(sum(diff_more_3))

diff_more_3 contains a boolean flag for each column if there are three or more differences. If you just want the number you just sum them up.

UEFA President Ceferin believe Ligue 1 Cancellation was Premature
Silver Emmanuel May 15, 2020 NEWS
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin looks on during the 44th UEFA Congress at Beur van Berlage on March 03, 2020 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin believes Ligue 1's decision to cancel their season "was premature" as "things can improve a lot".
The French competition became the first of Europe's top five leagues to take the extreme measure amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Authorities have settled on final league standings which ensures qualification for European competitions are honoured.
The Bundesliga returns this weekend while Premier League continues with its own plans to restart which were given the green light by the government.
And while Ceferin concedes the decision in France was enforced by their government, he feels as if they may have acted too quickly.
He told beINSports : "For us, the important thing is that we know who is the Champion, who is second, who is third, and fourth.
"My personal opinion is that if you cancel a season super early it's not an ideal thing because things can improve a lot and everybody can play except a few leagues.
"But again, if it's the decision of the government, what can the clubs do? Or the league? They cannot do anything.
"But for me the decision was premature. But it doesn't affect UEFA, so it's their decision."
Two of Ligue 1's clubs remain in the Champions League - PSG and Lyon.
The Parisians, who were named French champions once again following the cancellation of Ligue 1, are through to the last eight.
Lyon meanwhile take a 1-0 lead to Juventus and Ceferin has questioned whether the lengthy break will prove beneficial or not.
He continued: "We have two French clubs playing in the Champions League and now they will not play till August. I don't know if it's good for them, not to play and then go (and play) tough and important matches. But this is not my decision, and we respect it.
"We have to respect it and of course the clubs have to respect the decision of the government. We are not going to deal with the situation because it's up to different bodies in France to deal with.
"For us, we sent clear guidelines (on the) sporting reasons can be the formula for qualifying for the Champions League and Europa League.
"I heard about some, let's say 'problems' about that but I will leave it up to the French league and to the French authorities."

Winter Hike and Snowshoe Locations in South Berkshire
Jesse Stewart
Jesse Stewart Published: February 22, 2021
gelyngfjell
With all of the snow the Berkshires has been receiving lately, one thing is for sure, folks can partake in winter outdoor activities and at a safe distance. Now that's a winning combination. Great Barrington Trails and Greenways has released a list of winter hike and snowshoe destinations in the southern Berkshires: We have included the locations below (in no particular order):
Threemile Hill & CHP Trail 15 Crissey Road, Great Barrington - Berkshire South Regional Community Center The 2-mile long trail is a moderate up and down path through the woodland, with a surprising view of Monument Mountain from the Fountain Pond end of the trail. The elevation change is 350 feet. Allot 90 minutes for a one-way walk on this trail. Or enjoy the milder ¾-mile CHP Loop.
Lake Mansfield, pond and forest Lake Mansfield Beach Area, Great Barrington - The Lake Mansfield Recreation Area is a community natural resource area featuring a 29-acre pond and the adjacent 29- acre Conservation Forest with a 1/4-mile easy walking loop trail. The area is a vital natural habitat and treasured community space. Visitors are responsible for their own safety and must be mindful of their impact on the delicate habitat and the enjoyment of others.
Beartown State Forest 69 Blue Hill Rd, Great Barrington - DCR A winter wonderland, where visitors on cross-country skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles can explore a snow-covered wilderness, 1.5 mile Benedict Pond Loop Trail is a must in any season. Year-round camping is also available.
Lime Kiln Farm Wildlife Sanctuary Sheffield - Mass Audubon At Lime Kiln, there are two miles of well-marked walking trails including two loop trails and a short spur, highlights include views of the Taconic Mountains and Mount Everett.
Housatonic Flats RT 7 Great Barrington - Berkshire Natural Resources Council BNRC's Housatonic Flats Reserve is approximately 26 acres, just north of WSBS radio station, between the Housatonic River and Route 7. The mile-long loop trail in Housatonic Flats' 26 acres gets you up close and personal with more than a half-mile of Housatonic Riverbank. The floodplain is now reverting to the forest that prevailed before settlers made it pasture. Attractions include abundant birdlife, fish, otter, beaver and deer.
Bob's Way Rte. 23, Monterey Berkshire Natural Resources Council The looped trails and 263 acres of Bob's Way provide typical New England landscapes: forested small hills, old foundations and stonewalls, a wetland, and a beaver pond. The outer loop takes about one hour. Two crossing paths can extend or shorten hikes, and one rises to the land's high point, with a bench and an overlook.
Alford Springs Mountain Road, Alford Alford Springs, 899 acres of mostly forested ridgeline, has more than six miles of trails for hikers, snowshoers, seasoned cross-country skiers, hunters and berry-pickers. The preserve, named for feeder streams of Alford Brook and the Green River, offers vistas of Greylock and Tom Ball mountains and Alford Valley.

Light allows us to see everything around us, but humans can only see a sliver of all light, known as the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, Kim Arcand and Megan Watzke present the subject of light as never before. Organized along the order of the electromagnetic spectrum, each chapter focuses on a different type of light. From radio waves, harnessed for telecommunications, to X-rays, which let us peer inside the human body and view areas around black holes in deep space, Arcand and Watzke show us all the important ways light impacts us. An introductory chapter describes what light is and how it behaves, while hundreds of full-color photographs and illustrations demonstrate concepts and make for a stunning book that's a joy to read and browse.
Kimberly Arcand and Megan Watzke are award-winning directors, producers, and authors who have spent their careers in science and technology. Arcand is the visualization lead for NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, specializing in image and meaning research, and data representation. She lives near Providence, RI.

17. What do we value in schools?
18. Are parents and educators asking for more high stakes testing, standardized curriculum, and seat time? I think not.
22. Empowered Faculty Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in pedagogy, child development and in meeting the needs of diverse learners. Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each other, visit other institutions, and to engage in activities to benefit their own learning. Schools where professional development is personalized and supportive of teachers.
23. Engaged Students Schools where student voice is taken into consideration throughout the school culture. Schools where students are encouraged to identify and pursue their passions. Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows and understands their students.
24. Progressive Teaching and Learning Practices Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to prepare kids for a new world. Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands- on, project and passion-based learning during and after school. Schools that view technology as essential to the learning process and thoughtfully plan for its use.
26. Authentic Communities Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in the community. Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get involved. Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement. Schools that educate their parents and community members about what it means to be a 21st century learner.
28. Another Nation at Risk Moment ? How do we improve teaching and learning? How do we effectively assess students? What is innovation?
84. Apple Distinguished Educators Global Awareness 2006 • The World is Flat • A Whole New Mind • Berlin & Prague • Rethink. Global Awareness.
87. Mission The Global Education Conference Network is a community of practice where people connect and build the professional relationships necessary for effective collaboration across borders. Via this social network, educators and organizations from all over the world share conversations, resources, projects, and initiatives with a strong emphasis on promoting global awareness, fostering global competency, and inspiring action towards solving real-world problems. Our ultimate goal is to help prepare students for a rapidly changing and complex world.
90. CCSSO and Asia Society's PGL • New resource on global competence! • Download a copy here.
94. We have urgent problems that need to be addressed and, in order to prepare our students to work on these problems, we must connect them globally. We must teach them how networked learning leads to networked problem solving.
95. So what? 21st century Skills: The art of teaching comes through via the weaving of 21st century themes into core content. Focus on inquiry and the thoughtful use of technology in classrooms. It is not all about the tools. Learning Environments: There has been an emphasis on educating the whole child. Shift the discussion to address the whole learning environment. Personalized learning for both students and teachers is important. Global Collaborations: It's so easy to connect classrooms today. It's essential that we bring the world into our classrooms and inspire students with the possibilities. This is where you apply the tools!
101. Ideas • Administrators can encourage experimentation by awarding small innovation Grants. • Consider adding a Year of Innovation theme to your PD efforts (H/T to Don Buckley) • Attend and host EdCamps, Playdates and other informal unconferences. • Leverage informal learning opportunities. • Consider using after school time to experiment with Maker Spaces, Coderdojos, etc.

The very fun Main Justice site, which tracks DOJ with the same intensity Foreign Affairs follows State, reports that one of the four right-wingers arrested for trying to wiretap Mary Landrieu's office apparently interned for Mary Fallin (R-Okla.).
Robert Flanagan, 24, along with conservative activist James O'Keefe, 25, Joseph Basel, 24, and Stan Dai, 24 were charged with entering federal property under false pretenses for the purposes of committing a felony.
Main Justice has learned that Flanagan worked as an intern for Rep. Mary Fallin (R-Okla.) from January to April of last year. Kathryn Bruns, a press representative for Fallin, said she could only confirm that an intern of the same name worked in the office. She said she could not confirm that it was the same Robert Flanagan who was arrested, and declined to say if she knew whether the intern was from New Orleans or if his father was a federal prosecutor. She declined to comment on the arrest.


Riparian zones are habitats of critical conservation concern worldwide, as they are known to filter agricultural contaminants, buffer landscapes against erosion, and provide habitat for high numbers of species. Here we test the generality of the notion that riparian habitats harbor more species than adjacent upland habitats. Using previously published data collected from seven continents and including taxa ranging from Antarctic soil invertebrates to tropical rain forest lianas and primates, we show that riparian habitats do not harbor higher numbers of species, but rather support significantly different species pools altogether. In this way, riparian habitats increase regional (γ-) richness across the globe by >50%, on average. Thus conservation planners can easily increase the number of species protected in a regional portfolio by simply including a river within terrestrial biodiversity reserves. Our analysis also suggests numerous possible improvements for future studies of species richness gradients across riparian and upland habitats. First, <15% of the studies in our analysis included estimates of more than one taxonomic group of interest. Second, within a given taxonomic group, studies employed variable methodologies and sampling areas in pursuit of richness and turnover estimates. Future analyses of species richness patterns in watersheds should aim to include a more comprehensive suite of taxonomic groups and should measure richness at multiple spatial scales.


Brunswick High School alum Trey Walker is headed to Detroit.
Brunswick High School graduate Tracy Walker was selected by the Detroit Lions during the third round of the NFL Draft on Friday.
The University of Louisiana-Lafayette defensive back was picked with the 82nd overall selection in the draft.
Walker produced 276 tackles (11 for loss), 26 pass breakups and eight interceptions during his four-year tenure with the Ragin' Cajuns. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound safety will look to earn a job on the [team's] active roster during training camp.


Meet Amanda Valdez, the young talent who recently caught Galerie's eye with her vivid textile paintings at Denny Dimin Gallery. Though her studio is in Brooklyn, Valdez has worked around the globe carrying on the traditions of her feminist role models. Curious to learn more about her work, Galerie recently engaged Valdez in a Q&A. Here are the three standout qualities that are keeping her on our radar.
2. She's driven. Her education began at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and brought her as far as the Netherlands, where she studied at Utrecht University. But New York City was a different animal. "New York made a professional out of me," the artist shares of her transition to the booming metropolis, where she earned an MFA from Hunter College. "I've never wanted a backup plan, so I had to acquire the skills to be sustainable." Since then, Valdez has earned her place in a different residency program each year, including the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire and the Joan Mitchell Foundation in New Orleans, and has been a visiting critic at Parsons School of Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York.
What's up next: A 2019 solo exhibition at the Landing Gallery in Los Angeles—Valdez's largest to date.

Manaslu Trek is a remote trek in Nepal. It takes you to the base of the World's 8th highest, Mt. Manaslu through rural villages. The trek is adventurous but not an easy trek.
So, how difficult is the Manaslu Circuit Trek?
For those who have previous high altitude trekking experiences, Manaslu Circuit trek isn't so difficult. But for a beginner, there are lots of things that you must prepare yourself for before you go.
Manaslu trek difficulty depends upon various factors. Make sure you can beat them all. You should be physically fit. Also, you must have good health. The trek will take you through recurring ups and downs. Sometimes, you will trek into beautiful jungles of Rhododendrons and other trees.
There are lots of strenuous sections on the trail. Walking through the airy trails above the Budhi Gandaki river is a thrilling experience.
The trek does not demand any outstanding physical fitness. With a moderate level of fitness and good physical conditions, you can attempt the trek. Make sure you can bear long hours of walking in the hilly and mountainous region.
Manaslu Circuit trek is the trek in the northern Himalayan range of the Gorkha district in Nepal. This trek comprises of widely diverse terrain. The total distance of the Manaslu Circuit trek is about 177 kilometers.
The standard Manaslu Base camp tour is a 17 days itinerary. On this itinerary, you'll be walking for 10-12 days. The other days are acclimatizing days. This means you will walk an average distance of 15 to 20 km.
Covering 15 to 20 km every day by walking isn't so easy. In the top of that, there are some points on the trail that is very difficult. The trek takes you through steep ascents to harrowing descents. Most of the trek includes walking through uphill and downhills.
The trek is a remote trek. There are places where you have to cross thrilling rivers over a temporary wooden bridge. The trail passes across windy trails sometimes.
During the Manaslu trek, you have to cover many kilometers in a day. In some days, the trail is uphill climbing only. Somedays, the trail descends continuously for hours.
The trek can be very tedious while crossing the passes. Crossing the Larkya La Pass 5213m is the most challenging day. It can be hectic for your body.
The trek demands a certain level of physical fitness. You should prepare yourself to walk at least 6-8 hours a day.
You are living in a city with facilities and services. And suddenly you go to a remote trek for more than 10 days. Do you think it's gonna be easy?
Are you comfortable at coping with remoteness and remote treks? If no, Manaslu Circuit trek can be quite a challenging trek for you. The length or duration of Manaslu Trek depends on the package you choose. You can add or reduce the number of days according to your preferences.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek duration can be anywhere from two weeks to even a month. The trek will get you away from the hustles and bustles of city life. Trekking through remote villages, dense forests, and rivers for long can be exhausting.
You can feel exhausted because you feel low in energy. Focus on preparing a strong body and a strong mindset. Train yourself for the long duration remote trek.
Weather is a factor that plays a vital role in determining the Manaslu trek difficulty. During the trek, you will encounter the changes in weather and temperature. The trek takes us to variable altitudes.
We will traverse from tropical, sub-tropical, temperate, subalpine, alpine, to the arctic zone. Weather and temperature keep varying in high altitude places. So, there are always chances of downpours, chill winds, and freezing nights.
Manaslu region experiences four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
Monsoon rain dominates the Manaslu region in Summer. The region is hot and wet. The sun rays are warmer. Days are warm. But almost every evening and night see heavy downpours. The nighttime temperature drops below the freezing point.
The trekking trail is slippery, muddy, and wet because of frequent rainfalls. Also, summer is the time when bugs are active on the trail. The trail will be full of leeches.
Crossing the Larkya La Pass in monsoon is a challenging task. The steep trails are risky and very tough. Trekking boots with a firm grip are very helpful during summer trek to Manaslu Circuit.
Spring is a favorable season for Manaslu Circuit Trekking. Spring brings clear weather and clear views of the snowy peaks. During Spring, the rhododendron blossoms blankets over the hills and the forests.
During Spring, the chances of rainfall are very less. The daytime temperature is mild, around 16 degrees in average. But the nights are still colder, around 2 degrees on average.
Autumn is the most popular time for the Manaslu Circuit trek. The weather and climate in autumn are perfect for trekking. Weather in Autumn is most stable. There are least chances of rainfall or weather changes.
It has the best weather and climate. The daytime temperature is perfect for day hikes. You can see crystal clear mountains towering to touch the blue sky.
Manaslu trekking in winter is a tough thing to do. Winter means there will be heavy rainfall in the upper elevations. Most of the trekking trail will be white, filled with snow.
The day time temperatures are warm and stable. You can see a clear view of the astounding mountains. But the temperature lowers significantly as the sun sets. The temperature drops down to -20 degree Celsius during the night and early morning.
The Larkya La pass, 5125m, is a high altitude pass en route to Manaslu trek. The pass remains closed, mostly during mid-winter due to heavy snowfall. Also, the tea houses along the trail remain closed during winter.
Pack some extra warm clothes for freezing nights, evenings and mornings.
When we trek to the higher altitudes, the risk of altitude sickness is always there.
Manaslu Circuit trek takes us through a wide range of landscape and terrain. We will be trekking from Soti Khola at 710 meters to Larkya La Pass, 5213. Larkya La pass is the highest point on the trek.
The base camp of Mt. Manaslu sits at an altitude of 4800 meters. With every day of walking, we will gain roughly 400-500m of elevation. One of the major Manaslu trek difficulty is your ability to adjust to high altitude.
Higher you trek, the air gets much thinner. This means the risk of altitude sickness will be more. Everyone is at risk of altitude sickness. Factors like age, gender, and fitness level have nothing to do with it.
The early signs of altitude sickness are a headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, and other. It is best to rest after you get the symptoms. Do not start again until the symptoms go away. Resting and acclimatization are the keys to successful trekking at higher altitudes.
Do not ignore the symptoms. When you have any symptoms, descending to a lower altitude is the only option. Carelessness can lead you to severe conditions like HACE, and HAPE. Altitude sickness can even be fatal if not cured in time.
Walk slowly, take regular breaks, and drinking plenty of water. Drinking onion soup can also help you stay away from Altitude sickness.
Solo trekking is not possible in the Manaslu region. Group trekking is your only option. A group must have 2 trekkers and a local guide or a porter. Trekking in a large group might not be a great option.
There are few tea houses at some of the places. Managing for food and accommodation is difficult for larger groups. Plan your trek with a smaller group.
Walking with a guide ensures your safety. It is helpful in having a great trek. Walk with your group and follow the instructions of your guide.
Also, you will need a restricted area permit to trek in the Manaslu Circuit. To get the permit, there are some criteria that you must fulfill. You must have a group of two people. Also, you must trek with an experienced guide or a porter.
Manaslu Trek is a long duration trek. Also, there are lots of difficult sections. You will trek into the remotest parts of Nepal. The trial is difficult due to remoteness. The trek route is not smooth.
Manaslu Trekking requires lots of stamina and endurance. To build up the stamina, get some training before you go. Start to train yourself a month before you go. Also, you must maintain your proper diet plan right after you start your training.
Strength and endurance training helps to maintain your fitness level. These kinds of training are mandatory while trekking in the Manaslu route.
Expect to walk for 5-6 hours daily on average. Some days include steep uphill climbs, whereas some include steep descends. You will be trekking through the forests and the rocky hills.
To prepare your body for all these things, you can hike for a few hours to a nearby hilly area. You can practice the walk while carrying your backpack. This will help build your shoulder and arms.
During the training, drink plenty of water. Eat a diet that is plenty in carbohydrates, protein, and fibers.
Trekking into high altitude means you will be breathing in the thin air. The ratio of oxygen in air decreases with an increase in the altitude. To adjust in the thin air, cardiovascular fitness is essential.
Cardiovascular Fitness training improves the functioning of your heart and lungs during the trek. These trainings train your heart and lungs to supply oxygen-rich blood to muscles. This will be very helpful during the trek.
Cycling, running, jogging, and swimming can help you develop your cardiovascular fitness.
No trek will be successful with a weak mentality. Your strong mentality is something that keeps you going. Physical strength is something that helps you through physical hurdles. However, a healthy mentality is something that keeps on pushing you further.
Prepare a healthy mindset. Once you take it, you can do it!
Keep updates on weather and temperature conditions on every day of your trek.
Book earlier for food and accommodation during peak seasons. Also, by booking earlier you can get the desired room at reasonable price.
For summer treks to Manaslu Circuit, carry along insect repellents and table salts (for leeches).
Hydrate yourself from time to time. Bring refillable water bottles and water purifiers.
If you want to enjoy the peaceful trails opt for offseason trekking.
Trek under a reliable guidance of a professional guide.
Manaslu Circuit Trek is a beautiful trek in Nepal. There are lots of difficulties that may come along the trek. Build up physical strength and endurance. Trek under the guidance of an experienced trekker and you'll have a remarkable trek.
