Half Day Private Excursion on the Via Ferrata
The via ferratas of the Dolomites "were born" after the war, largely retracing those rocky paths that served the military to reach a strategic outpost or the top of a mountain, taking advantage of the easier and less exposed passages. Even today it is possible to see and explore trenches, caves or artifacts from the First World War (1915-18). The route today is well equipped with a metal rope fixed in the rock by sturdy metal nails that ensure the hiker's passage and are monitored seasonally by qualified people. The via ferrata in the Dolomites are of varying difficulty, length and physical effort. The easiest are called "ferrata path" where the hiker always walks along a rocky path protected by a metal rope on the most exposed passages. The via ferrata instead climbs along a more or less vertical rocky wall where the hiker can secure and help himself with the metal rope.
Climbing with the family!
A day of introduction to climbing, to take the first steps vertically. The Cinque Torri, with over 300 streets, are the ideal place to get closer to this beautiful discipline. We will climb moreover admiring the spectacular landscape that surrounds us! The Mountain Guide will show you the main techniques and will ensure that the whole day is held in the maximum safety possible! Seeing is believing!

If you are a passionate trekker who don't want to stop walking on the Dolomites during winter make the right choice: snow-shoes! Snow-shoes are a useful tool to run across our mountains and the wintry face of the mountains is the most suggestive thing you can imagine.

Interview & Giveaway: Erin's Children by Eileen O'Finlan
It's a fun day on the blog today! I have two posts to share with you and the first up is an interview with Author Eileen O'Finlan who is currently touring the blogosphere for Erin's Children! I hope you enjoy the interview and be sure to enter the giveaway!
Hello Eileen and welcome to Passages to the Past! Thanks so much for stopping by today to talk about Erin's Children!
Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here!
To begin, can you please tell us a little about yourself and your writing?
Sure. I was born and raised in central Massachusetts. Both of my parents were from Vermont and loads of relatives live there, so Vermont is like a second home for me. I earned my undergraduate degree in history and my master's degree in pastoral ministry. I work as an administrative assistant for the Diocese of Worcester and facilitate online courses for the University of Dayton, Ohio.
My published novels are historical fiction, which is my favorite genre though I may add some other genres in the future. I especially enjoy setting novels in New England, probably because it is where I've lived my whole life so I know it best and love it. I love how a story takes on a life of its own as I'm writing. The characters often surprise me by doing things I never expected.
Erin's Children is the sequel to your last novel, Kelegeen. What inspired you to write the series? Will there be a 3rd book?
As I neared the end of writing Kelegeen I started getting ideas for things that could happen to my characters but they were too far in the future to include in that book. I purposely ended Kelegeen in a way that begged for a sequel so I could get to all the stuff I couldn't put in the first book.
I think there will be a third book, but it will be set a little later with more of a focus on the next generation.
What research did you undertake when writing Erin's Children?
All the normal historical research for the time period – food, clothing, the current events and politics of the time, etc. In addition, since I was setting Erin's Children in Worcester, Massachusetts, the city in which I work and very close to where I live, I did a lot of research on the history of Worcester in the 1850s. Besides books I made some field trips to the Worcester Historical Museum and Salisbury Mansion. I also took a walking tour of the Crown Hill historical district with a guide from Preservation Worcester. Crown Hill is the location where a few of my main characters live and work. A wonderful gentleman who lives there took me on a two hour tour of his home which is still very much as it was when it was built in the 1850s. That house became the home of Hiram Archer in Erin's Children.
What would you like readers to take away from reading Erin's Children?
Erin's Children deals with the experience of the Irish who immigrated to America during the Great Hunger (aka Irish Potato Famine). That's where the title comes from – the Irish immigrants are the children of Erin (Ireland). They came because things in Ireland were so bad that for many it was their only chance for survival. Over a million Irish died during the Great Hunger and another million left the country. Upon arriving in America, they faced enormous prejudice and open hostility as they attempted to find work and a place to live and adjust to their new home while at the same time deal with the trauma from which they'd escaped. They endured the concerted efforts of the "Know Nothing" political party that was determined to send them back to Ireland. I hope readers will appreciate the hardships they faced and overcame and recognize what grit and determination it takes for all immigrants, no matter where they're from or when they came, to make their way in a new land.
What was your favorite scene to write?
It's hard to choose a favorite, but I loved writing about Kathleen's introduction to an American Thanksgiving.
What was the most difficult scene to write?
Probably the scene where Kathleen meets up with Meg after leaving the boarding house. I rewrote that multiple times before I was happy with it.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
I don't think I had a specific "aha" moment. I've been making up stories in my head for as long as I can remember. Whenever we had to write something for a school assignment, mine would almost always be the one the teacher read to the class, but I didn't think of it as anything special since it came naturally to me. I think I decided that I wanted to write novels sometime in my early twenties. I started reading Writer's Digest Magazine and books on writing. The first book-length piece I wrote was a middle grade story about summer camp. It wasn't very good, but I completed an entire novel and that alone told me that I was capable of doing it. Later, I joined a writing group which I stayed with for many years. My writing improved greatly because of that group. I finished Kelegeen while in that group. I missed it so much that a few years ago I started a new one. We meet once a week at my house to write and critique. We had to stop when the pandemic hit, but we've just resumed and it is fabulous to be writing together again.
What does your daily writing routine look like?
Since I work a full-time job I have to grab time for writing when I can. I am not a morning person, so my writing is usually done in the evenings. When I'm really into a story time can get away from me. I've been known to glance at the clock thinking an hour or two has passed only to find that it's 2:00 in the morning, I've been writing for hours, and I have to get up for work in the morning.
What has been your greatest challenge as a writer? Have you been able to overcome it?
Time constraints are my biggest challenge. As mentioned in my answer to the previous question, I have to write in the evenings. I long for the day when writing is my full-time job. I'm also challenged by the need to do my own marketing. That is not my forte, but it is necessary. I had to endure a steep learning curve and I still feel as though I'm banging my head against a brick wall with it most of the time.
Who are your writing inspirations?
Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charlotte Bronte, Diana Gabaldon, Alice Hoffman, John Jakes, Phillipa Gregory, Stephen King, Anne Rice to name a few.
What was the first historical novel you read?
I think it was Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
What is the last historical novel you read?
Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian.
What are three things people may not know about you?
I was a gymnast when I was in my tweens and teens. When I was very young I lived in a haunted house. I wish I could have an exact replica of my grandmother's house built so I could live in it.
What appeals to you most about your chosen genre?
I get to live vicariously in another time period without having to personally experience the unpleasant things of the time. Those things may be in the story, but I don't have to live with them every day in reality. I think many people romanticize the past, thinking of it as quaint, charming, and oldy-timey" not realizing it was quite often dirty, smelly, difficult, and dangerous. I confess to having been like that myself which is how I fell in love with history, wishing I could have lived at the time of Little Women. That was before I really started studying history. What I learned disabused me of my romantic ideas but also gave me a deeper appreciation and respect for the people of the past.
What historical time period do you gravitate towards the most with your personal reading?
The 19th century is my favorite, but the writing is more important for me than the time period. I want to read a good story no matter when or where it is set.
What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
Read, naturally! I'm a huge cat lover so I love spoiling my adorable calico Maine Coon. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, crafts, music, museums, and historical houses.
Lastly, what are you working on next?
I'm currently researching for my next historical novel. It will have a dual timeline of 1830 and 1973, set in Vermont, with the New England Vampire Panic as its focus.
I'm also working on revisions to a story told from the perspective of two highly anthropomorphized cats. It's hard to describe the genre for that story except to say it's women's fiction or domestic fiction except with animals instead of people.
I've enjoyed chatting with you today! Thanks for having me!
Erin's Children by Eileen O'Finlan
BWL Publishing, Inc.
Paperback & eBook; 433 pages
In 1851 Irish Famine survivor, Meg O'Connor, buys passage to America for her younger sister, Kathleen, and arranges employment for her as a maid. Kathleen's feisty spirit soon puts her at odds with her employers, the bigoted and predatory Pratts. Driven from their home, Kathleen ends up on a wild adventure taking her to places she could never have imagined.
As a domestic servant in the Worcester, Massachusetts home of the kindly Claprood family, Meg enjoys a life beyond her wildest imaginings. Yet she must keep her marriage to Rory Quinn a secret. Rory, still in Ireland, eagerly awaits the day he will join her. But as the only jobs open to Irish men pay poorly, Rory's imminent arrival threatens to plunge her back into dire poverty.
On the eve of the Civil War, while America is being rent asunder by the fight over slavery, Irish Catholics wage their own war with the growing anti-immigrant Know Nothing party. Through grave doubts, dangers, and turmoil, Meg and Kathleen must rely on their faith and the resilient bonds of sisterhood to survive and claim their destinies in a new and often hostile land.
Eileen O'Finlan lives in central Massachusetts with a calico Maine Coon cat named Autumn Amelia who likes to "help" her with her historical research and writing mostly by shoving her research books onto the floor, sleeping on her keyboard, and demanding treats at inopportune moments. Eileen loves Autumn Amelia.
Eileen also loves history which is why she went back to college in her late twenties to earn an undergraduate degree in it. She later returned to college for a Master's degree in Pastoral Ministry. Now she teaches online courses for the University of Dayton, Ohio. Seems she can't get enough of college.
She also can't get enough of books - reading and writing them. And cats. She can't get enough of cats. Since she's had at least one since the age of six, she can't comprehend life without a cat.

Animated flip books have entertained and delighted for over a century. The Flip & Fun books renew the medium in an educational series with exciting results. Each boxed set contains five flip books revolving around a single topic. Dipped in a single bold color, every Flip & Fun booklet uses cheery animated characters to tell a unique story. Flip & Fun: Animals asks, how tall can yellow giraffes grow? How many teeth can you count in the green crocodile's mouth? The story then reveals an answer to the simple question posed on the book's cover. Children are challenged to develop their mental and physical dexterity as they animate stories in order to solve the flip book's riddle. Each set features a different artist and a rainbow of colored books.

Alcohol and hypertension: gender differences in dose-response relationships determined through systematic review and meta-analysis.

To analyze the dose-response relationship between average daily alcohol consumption and the risk of hypertension via systematic review and meta-analysis.
A computer-assisted search was completed for 10 databases, followed by hand searches of relevant articles. Only studies with longitudinal design, quantitative measurement of alcohol consumption and biological measurement of outcome were included. Dose-response relationships were assessed by determining the best-fitting model via first- and second-degree fractional polynomials. Various tests for heterogeneity and publication bias were conducted.
A total of 12 cohort studies were identified from the literature from the United States, Japan and Korea. A linear dose-response relationship with a relative risk of 1.57 at 50 g pure alcohol per day and 2.47 at 100 g per day was seen for men. Among women, the meta-analysis indicated a more modest protective effect than reported previously: a significant protective effect was reported for consumption at or below about 5 g per day, after which a linear dose-response relationship was found with a relative risk of 1.81 at 50 g per day and of 2.81 at an average daily consumption of 100 g pure alcohol per day. Among men, Asian populations had higher risks than non-Asian populations.
The risk for hypertension increases linearly with alcohol consumption, so limiting alcohol intake should be advised for both men and women.

Just SOME of the Benefits of Staging!
As an agent and the owner of Lux, it still surprises me when I come across someone who says, "Staging? Does that REALLY work?" I mean, staging isn't something new and the stats are there, it pays to stage your home. Period.
Granted staging isn't as popular in Canada as it is in the US, but every year it gains more and more traction, turning skeptics into believers.
One of the main benefits of staging is that it gives potential buyers an idea of just how good each space in the home can look and what's possible, helping them fall in love with your home. Sometimes there's awkward rooms or spaces and if it's staged properly, that potential buyer won't struggle trying to mentally visualize their furniture in the space. Instead they can concentrate on what kind of offer they can put on your home!
Over 77% of buyers say that a staged home makes it easier to visualize that home as THEIR future home.
45% of buyers agree that a staged home will get a higher offer if it's staged to their taste.
Staged homes spend an average of 73% less time on the market.
Buyers are willing to spend 1%-6% more on a well-staged home.
Staging by: Anne Bourne from Staging Works!
Let's put some of those stats into perspective. First off, selling is stressful, so why not relieve some of that stress by getting your home to sell faster and for more money? The average staging costs between $2000-$3000. The average home price in Toronto for May 2018 is around $800,000.00 and average days on market is 23 (for detached homes, 18 for condos). Dealing strictly with these averages, that means if you staged your home, it would sell in just under 7 days, and for potentially $8,000.00-$48,000.00 more. When you break it down like that staging is kind of a no brainer right?
It's really hard to argue with all the above points and statistics. Still skeptical? Ask around. Chances are you know someone who's recently sold and staged their home. Ask them about their experience and compare the amount of time their home stayed on the market and what it sold for compared to the averages in the area. And when they tell you how much they spent on staging, you'll become a believer.
In my next blog I'll help give credence to the above by discussing my own personal, successful experience when it comes to selling and staging as I just sold my house a month ago. Stay tuned!

Cases without borders: can online discussion of clinical cases between high and low resource countries enhance learning in paediatrics?

Caroline Crehan, Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, University College London, North Middlesex Hospital NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom, Zomba Central Hospital, Malawi
Introduction: gaining exposure to global child health can be difficult to organise both financially and logistically. The aim of this projet was to evaluate perceived learning benefits of an online case-exchange programme highlighting the similarities and differences in clinical management between contrasting settings.
Methods: on-line case-exchanges were carried out over five months between two facilities; Zomba central hospital, Malawi and Northwick park hospital, UK. Clinicians, nurses and students from both facilities were invited to attend sessions facilitated by a UK registrar in each setting, using skype or whatsapp. Proformas, were circulated to participants in advance. The clerking and management of a case from each setting was entered and emailed to the whole group. During the presentation and discussion, the other hospital considered how that case would be managed in their alternative setting, completing the proforma. Feedback was collected at the end using an unvalidated perceived learning questionnaire devised by the facilitators.
Results: 6 case exchange sessions were held covering 12 paired paediatric cases. Feedback was collected from 13 participants (7 from Malawi, 6 from UK). Mean likert score of all 10 questions was 4.26 out of 5 for all responders, 4.3 for Malawi and 4.2 for the UK, indicating perceived learning was high and similar for both groups. There was no statistically significant difference in mean scores between the groups (p < 0.05 using Mann-Whitney-U) for all feedback questions.
Conclusion: cases without borders was perceived to enhance learning across settings benefiting both sides equally suggesting it is a suitable model for on-line case-exchange programmes. Qualitative feedback suggests potential for increased interest and participation in evidence based medicine and global child health in both contexts. Future iterations would benefit from a more stable internet connection and collect feedback from a larger sample, using a validated feedback tool.

The experiences of school staff who work with emotionally based school non-attendance: a psycho-social exploration.
Ford, Charlotte (2018) The experiences of school staff who work with emotionally based school non-attendance: a psycho-social exploration. Other thesis, University of Essex and Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust.
Charlotte Ford Final Thesis.pdf
Restricted to Repository staff only until 24 August 2023.
This psycho-social study explored the experiences of school staff who have worked with emotionally based school non-attendance. There is a paucity of qualitative accounts of school staff's views in this area. Existing research focuses predominantly on the causes, risk and protective factors and the management of school non-attendance. Six participants took part in two interviews where psychoanalytically informed approaches were employed. This included the Grid Elaboration Method and Free Association Narrative Interviewing. The interview transcripts were analysed using Thematic Analysis, which illuminated five overarching themes: relationships between home and school; school factor s; conceptualisation and impact of school non - attendance; tasks and challenges of adolescence and individual journeys and emotions. The themes are discussed in relation to existing research and psychological theory. Consideration is given to the implications for the role of the Educational Psychologist in working with emotionally based school non-attendance. Strengths and limitations of the current study are discussed and ideas for future research are proposed.

Hockey is taking centre stage in the area, while the BC Lions are ready to host the Edmonton Eskimos in only the second season home game, while the Whitecaps play two days later against Sporting KC.
Canucks GM Jim Benning appears not to be finished making changes to the roster, but officially announcing the Canucks have signed forward Micheal Ferland (6'1, 217 lbs) to a four-year, $14-Million contract worth an annual average value of $3,500,000.
General Manager Jim Benning told the media "Micheal (27) is an energetic player that drives the play and can contribute in all three zones and he'll make our team harder to play against on a nightly basis and we're excited that he'll call Vancouver home."
In the 2018.19 season he posted a career-high in assists (23) managing 17 goals and 40 points were his second highest career total in both categories.
He had six PP goals on the season also ranked tied for third on the Hurricanes roster while his 12 PP points ranked fourth that also saw him collect an assist in seven games with the Hurricanes during the Stanley Cup playoffs
He has appeared in 321 games over a five-year span that was split between Carolina and Calgary while recording 129 points (59-70-129) also collecting three goals and three assists in 20 career Stanley Cup Playoff games.
He calls Swan River Manitoba home and was originally selected in the 5th round, 133rd overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Vancouver Giants General Manager Barclay Parneta announced today that the Giants have signed 2002-born forward Cole Shepard (West Vancouver, B.C.) to a Standard WHL Player Agreement.
The team made it official during a media conference at the Ladner Leisure Centre.
"We are very happy to have Cole and the Shepard family committed to the Vancouver Giants," said Barclay Parneta. "He provides a solid mix of speed and skill and can impact a game in a lot of positive ways. He's going to be a key contributor to our success in the years to come."
Originally selected 33rd overall by the Giants in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft, Shepard joins the Giants after spending his 16-year-old season with the BCHL's Penticton Vees.
Cole Shepard Signs With Vancouver Giants
In 53 games the 5'10", 152-pound forward scored seven goals and added 17 assists for 24 points.
Shepard spent the two previous seasons with the Delta Hockey Academy (DHA) notching 53 points in 34 games during the 2017-18 season in Midget and 47 points in 30 games in 2016-17 in Bantam.
He is eligible for the 2020 NHL Draft.
Internationally, Shepard suited up for Canada Red at the 2018 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge and registered four assists in six games.
With this signing, Shepard becomes the sixth Giant from their 2017 WHL Bantam Draft class to commit to the team joining the likes of: Justin Sourdif, Tanner Brown, Krz Plummer, Braedy Euerby and Jacob Gendron.
Shepard joins his older brother Jackson who was acquired by the Giants in a trade with Lethbridge on May 24, 2019.
Thanks to both the Vancouver Canucks and the Vancouver Giants for the press release!!

The administration of the Krasnoyarsk Territory has adopted a resolution prohibiting the cutting of a reindeer's velvet antlers, according to the regional ministry of environment and natural resource management.
"The Krasnoyarsk Territory has banned the cutting of a reindeer's velvet antlers," the message reads. The ban will be in force for five years.
Considered the largest population of reindeer in Eurasia, it numbers around 400,000, this figure has been going down in recent years. The small indigenous peoples of the territory mainly hunt reindeer.
According to the Arctic Agriculture and Environment Research Institute, the uncontrolled cutting of velvet antlers from living reindeer results in 70 percent of the animals perishing. Poachers are most often to blame.
Velvet antlers are used in pharmaceutics to produce dietary supplements as well as in traditional medicine. Such supplements are believed to help preserve strength and youth.

Report on Cerro Negro (Nicaragua) — 5 June-11 June 2013
Smithsonian / US Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 5 June-11 June 2013
Global Volcanism Program, 2013. Report on Cerro Negro (Nicaragua). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 5 June-11 June 2013. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
Volcano Profile | Weekly Report (5 June-11 June 2013)
Cerro Negro
12.506°N, 86.702°W; summit elev. 728 m
INETER reported that the seismic station at the base of Cerro Negro recorded the onset of tremor at 0845 on 4 June. Seismicity fluctuated; Real-time Seismic Amplitude Measurement (RSAM) values increased to 60 units, from an average value of 14. From 1535 to 1731 the network recorded 49 earthquakes that were too small to be located.
Geologic Background. Central America's youngest volcano, Cerro Negro, was born in April 1850 and has since been one of the most active volcanoes in Nicaragua. Cerro Negro is the largest, southernmost, and most recent of a group of four youthful cinder cones constructed along a NNW-SSE-trending line in the central Marrabios Range 5 km NW of Las Pilas volcano. Strombolian-to-subplinian eruptions at Cerro Negro at intervals of a few years to several decades have constructed a roughly 250-m-high basaltic cone and an associated lava field that is constrained by topography to extend primarily to the NE and SW. Cone and crater morphology at Cerro Negro have varied significantly during its eruptive history. Although Cerro Negro lies in a relatively unpopulated area, its occasional heavy ashfalls have caused damage to crops and buildings in populated regions of the Nicaraguan depression.

What is your hospital's duplicate record rate?
It's a straight-forward question. But it's one that many healthcare organizations cannot answer, and if they can, it's typically understated.
This perception-and-reality disconnect isn't due to naiveté or denial on the part of health information management (HIM) directors. The culprit is lack of standardization, whether that be variances in the formulas used to calculate the rate, algorithms for identifying duplicates or how duplicates are reported. As a result, establishing an accurate duplicate rate that would be accepted industry wide is a significant challenge for even the most diligent HIM manager.
When measuring duplicates, different measurements are calculated and variances exist in the components of the rate calculation.
For instance, many organizations report their duplicate rate as the number of duplicates in their MPI divided by the number of patients in the MPI database. This calculation actually reports the "existence," or "historical," rate in the MPI and does not reflect what is currently being created. An organization may have cleaned up its MPI a year ago, therefore the existence rate is fairly low. However, if the creation rate is high and no attention is given to keeping the MPI clean, the organization may have a false sense of security about the accuracy of their MPI.
Further compounding the problem, when measuring the "creation" rate, different opinions exist on whether the denominator for this formula should be the number of registrations that occurred in the time period being measured, or the number of new medical record numbers (MRNs) created. Proponents for the number of registrations state that this denominator indicates the number of opportunities for a duplicate to be created. Conversely, proponents of the number of new MRNs believe this to be the more correct denominator.
All of these variances have caused the industry to be reporting apples and oranges when it comes to duplicate rates.
Many facilities simply rely on the algorithms that come standard with their HIT systems to identify potential duplicates, which often fall into the basic or intermediate categories in terms of sophistication. However, stronger, more advanced algorithms do a better job of identifying duplicates. Thus, the results between hospitals that use the basic or intermediate algorithms will be much different (and significantly understated) than those utilizing advanced algorithms.
This is simply because basic and intermediate algorithms do not have enough "error tolerance" to detect more significant or multiple errors. An undetected duplicate is an unreported duplicate, which leads to underreporting.
For example, an intermediate algorithm may look only at the name, date of birth, Social Security Number and gender to determine potential duplicates. Meanwhile, a more sophisticated algorithm will also compare middle name, address, telephone numbers and previous names.
What's more, some systems do not include algorithms to determine the likelihood of a duplicate. Instead, they will flag any records that contain exact matches of, for example, first and last name—all of which must be manually validated.
Despite the challenges of establishing an accurate duplication rate, HIM professionals have long pushed to prioritize improving patient matching. The implications of high duplication rates are significant, including patient safety and compliance with meaningful use. Indeed, the success of health information exchange organizations depends upon the exchange of clean, duplicate-free patient data.
As a result, duplicate rates are finally getting serious attention outside the HIM department. The ONC has made patient matching a primary focus. HIMSS and the American Hospital Association have acknowledged its importance as well.
It is encouraging to see that there are many more organizations recognizing the importance of accurate patient matching. Standardizing the approach to calculating potential duplicates will provide more accurate metrics and enable more hospitals to dedicate the necessary resources to proper remediation management and algorithm improvement.
Detection is the first step. Remediation and mitigating the risk of duplicate creation are the imperative next steps.
