Govt likely to probe illegal appointments in PSUs
Kashmir News Service | 2 Mins Read
Srinagar, Jun 18: The Jammu and Kashmir government is likely to probe alleged illegal appointments in various state owned corporations.
Sources close to the government said that the Governor Satya Pal Malik has taken strong note of the allegations that over the years scores of employees have been appointed illegally in the state owned corporations. "To dig out the truth in this, the Government is likely to inquire all such illegal appointments," sources said.
Sources maintained that the government will identify all those responsible for making appointments without advertisements and vacancies in the corporations.
It has been alleged that maximum beneficiaries were political workers who were adjusted in different corporations without considering fallout on the financial health of the corporations.
Sources said that the government over the years has failed to probe these appointments and book the culprits.
Sources further informed that there are allegations that many of the backdoor appointees in some corporations were first appointed as consolidated and later placed in the grade pay within shortest possible time by setting all rules and regulations aside.
"Though many house committees were constituted in Jammu and Kashmir to look into the illegal and backdoor appointments made in the state government departments, public undertakings and corporations, but these committees never succeeded to probe the matter," sources maintained.
Sources alleged that each corporation had appointed illegally over hundred blue eyed persons. There was no accountability as how these appointments were made and thereafter given two to three grade promotions.
It is also a known fact that, most of the corporations are in losses and heavily dependent on the government for paying salaries to the staff and carrying out their day today activities.
It is to mention here that the government, in order to check the menace of illegal, backdoor appointment and re-employment had issued an order, wherein all government departments, PSU's and other organization were debarred for making temporary arrangements and the blanket ban was imposed on making illegal appointments and re-employment. It was also mentioned in the order that all the re-employment orders issued by various government departments are revoked with immediate effect. However as per the sources, the aforementioned order was not implemented in letter and spirit, rather the government departments and public sector undertakings had chosen to continue making re-employment and back door appointments.

Srinagar, Jul 19: A desperate family of a missing Srinagar youth has made an emotional appeal urging him to return home.
Twenty something Fazil Latief Makroo left home on Sunday but did not return home.
Family immediately lodged a missing report in the police station Nowhatta, but so far he has not been traced.
"On Sunday afternoon, after having lunch, he left his home as usual for outing. Since then, we have been searching for him but to no avail," said Latief Makroo, Fazil's father.
Latief, a farmer by profession said that Fazil has been suffering from depression.
"He is undergoing treatment for depression. He is a good boy and particular about Salah. We have no idea, why he left us. His younger brother and sister are waiting for him," said Parvaiz Ahmad, Fazil's cousin.
Family has also appealed the general public to inform the police in case they have any information about the missing youth.
"After we failed to trace him, we lodged a missing report in police station Nowhatta. The police has been looking for him. If anybody has information about his whereabouts, he/she may please contact us or police station Nowhatta," he said
Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Khanyar, Farhan Janbaaz said efforts were on to trace Fazil.
"We are in touch with his friends and enquiring from them," he said
Srinagar, Jul 19: Kashmir Editors Guild (KEG) has taken a strong exception to a news report published from Srinagar by 'The Times of India' and has decided to take legal recourse over the report.
The editors termed the TOI report, which casts aspersions on the Kashmir based journalists "malicious, propagandistic, motivated and defamatory."
In a statement, KEG said the report has raised points questioning the integrity of the members associated with KEG and the Kashmir Press Club (KPC), terming them as a creation of ISI and 'Jehadi Journalists'.
Notably, KPC conducted its first elections last week wherein a managing body was elected through an overwhelming participation of journalists working in Kashmir and the entire exercise was appreciated by all quarters in the state.
The editor's body felt perturbed over the consequences of such a life threatening piece of reportage published by TOI.
"KEG is a body of 15 editors and has been working for the issues facing the media. It has been there since 2008 and even earlier," the statement read.
Press Club to take up matter with TOI editor
Srinagar, Jul 19: The newly elected management committee of the Kashmir Press Club (KPC) in its meeting Friday took a strong note of a news story published in the 'Times of India' newspaper.
A spokesperson of the Club said it was observed that the story is "baseless and full of insinuations against unnamed executive members of the club."
"It appears from the story that the reporter has filed it without making any efforts to contact any executive member to seek his version. He has also not backed his story with any evidence or facts," the spokesperson said.
While condemning the story as highly objectionable, the KPC members observed that "it seems to have been filed by the concerned reporter with malafide intent to bring in disrepute to the elected journalist members in particular and the entire club in general".
"This is an attempt to drag the club, which successfully conducted its first ever elections this month, into unnecessary controversy," the spokesperson added.
The management committee of the club, he said, has decided to formally take up the matter with the Editor of the newspaper in New Delhi.
"A letter of protest in this regards shall be sent to the newspaper concerned. Such baseless insinuations published in a reputed newspaper like Times of India in fact violate the basic standards and ethics of journalism," the spokesperson added.
Journo associations express outrage
Srinagar, Jul 19: Kashmir Working Journalist Association (KWJA) and Kashmir Journalists Association (KJA) have expressed outrage over an insinuating report published by the Times of India which uses unsubstantiated allegations to malign and endanger the journalist fraternity of Kashmir and respected institutions like the newly formed Kashmir Press Club, Kashmir Editors Guild, and the daily Kashmir Reader.
"We find it unfortunate that the Times of India has given space to such an insinuating report based on its reporter M Salim Pandit's fantasies and bred out of his personal grouses," a joint statement issued by KWJA and KJA said, adding, Pandit is "no stranger to controversies, slander and whimsical allegations mostly based on his personal animosities and fantasies."
"The reporter is taking shelter in unnamed sources to defame fellow journalists and journalistic institutions in Kashmir, branding them as creations and proxies of Pakistan based agencies."
'The reporter has in the past often brought disgrace to the institution of journalism through his fabricated reports and actions. Ironically the author is trying to create aspersions on Kashmir Press Club even though he had been appointed the president of its first (ad hoc) managing body, with the support of Kashmir Editors Guild," the statement added.
"His grouses lie in the fact that he was asked to step down by other members after a series of controversies and disgraceful public behaviour on his part," it said.
"KWJA and KJA condemns the shameful actions of the reporter and the irresponsible behaviour of newspaper in giving space to a baseless report. It hopes that the newspaper will take corrective action by publishing a corrigendum and bringing down the report from its online edition. At the same time KWJA and KJA urges the Kashmir Press Club to initiate an inquiry into the irresponsible behaviour of its member M Salim Pandit," the joint statement read.

Hollande's election nightmare
Le Pen is poised to score big in the first round of regional voting on Sunday.
Masks on sale in a jokes and hoaxes shop in France | JOEL SAGET/AFP/GettyImages
By Nicholas Vinocur
December 4, 2015	8:06 pm
PARIS — François Hollande faces the first round of local elections across France Sunday that could deliver two devastating results: a trouncing of his ruling Socialist party, and fresh evidence of the rise of Marine Le Pen's far-right National Front.
In normal times, the vote to elect chairs for France's regional councils (there are 13 on the mainland this year) is a distinctly local event that fails to attract the interest even of most French voters.
Sunday's vote is a different matter. It will be watched closely at home and abroad because it's seen as a crucial test of strength for Europe's most popular far-right party after a bloody terrorist attack on French soil, and in the midst of a migration crisis that has caused even the bloc's most welcoming nations to revise their asylum policies.
According to an IPSOS Sopra-Steria survey published this week in Le Monde, the National Front is poised to gather more votes Sunday than any of its rivals, a performance that would lend credence to Le Pen's oft-repeated claim that hers is "France's number one party."
The National Front chief and her 25-year-old niece, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, are on course to win regional council chairs in northern and southern France, respectively, while other officials including party vice president Florian Philippot have a solid chance of taking four other regions.
For the Front, an anti-EU party that both embraces its outsider status and struggles against it, the interest in winning is partly symbolic. Le Pen wants to prove her party can manage a public entity larger than a town hall because in less than two years, she will be seeking to run the whole country.
But winning a regional chair also promises concrete rewards in the form of control over regional council budgets, some of which are as much as €2 billion, and the power to influence policy on a range of subjects.
There is a paradoxical aspect to Le Pen's strength in the polls. After the November 13 terrorist attacks that killed 130 people in Paris, Hollande — France's least-popular president since World War II — has seen his approval score jump by 20 percentage points to settle at a still low 35 percent, according to a survey by TNS-Sofres.
It would grant Le Pen additional bragging rights to being the French politician with the most "democratic legitimacy."
That rise, which analysts attribute to Hollande's decisive leadership in the aftermath of the attacks, has not carried over to regional polls, in which Socialist candidates are frequently shown trailing far behind those of the National Front and of Nicolas Sarkozy's center-right Les Républicains party.
Politically, the immediate risk for Hollande is that Le Pen could win the largest portion of the popular vote on Sunday. Such a result would have shock value that would carry beyond France, emboldening other Euroskeptic politicians and reminding pro-EU figures of their vulnerability at the polls.
It would also grant Le Pen additional bragging rights to being the French politician with the most "democratic legitimacy."
Even if the National Front performs up to expectations on Sunday and several of its candidates come out on top, there is no guarantee that it will win multiple regions, or even in any.
Ahead of the final voting round on December 13, much depends on the behavior of rival Socialist and Les Républicains candidates who, in regions where the FN is on top, could decide to call on their voters to rally behind the number-two candidate in order to block the National Front.
If the rivals can cooperate to form a "Republican Front," as such a blocking maneuver is known, FN gains could be very limited.
This election is Hollande's to lose, exclusively.
In the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region where Le Pen is running, for example, polls show that she would clearly prevail if her center-right and center-left rivals both stay in the race after the first round. However, if the Socialist candidate currently in third place, Pierre de Saintignon, decides to drop out, then Xavier Bertrand, the center-right candidate, has a strong chance of prevailing against the National Front president.
The behavior of various parties and candidates between the rounds is highly uncertain. While socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls has raised the prospect of forming "Republican Fronts" to stop the FN, Socialists in the regions say they have no obligation to follow his advice, pointing out that the government's record on unemployment and security is what hurt them in the first place.
Also, dropping out of a race to support a rival is a weighty decision which means that no Socialist official would be represented on the regional council — a major loss of influence.
In the reverse scenario, where a Socialist would be in second place behind a National Front candidate and a Les Républicains candidate would come in third, Sarkozy has given clear instructions: There will be no call to vote for the rival.
"As far as I'm concerned, I have committed with our candidates to a campaign where we explain to people that we are the only alternatives (to the Socialists)," Sarkozy said this week on Europe 1 radio. "As for the question of dropping out, we will maintain our lists everywhere that we are in a position to maintain them."
His message is clear: This election is Hollande's to lose, exclusively.
Voters head to the polls throughout the day Sunday. The first results from the voting are expected to be announced around 8 p.m. Paris time.

Say I'd like to put in a sign prop (such as props_gameplay\sign_gameplay01.mdl) with some sort of custom text (such as "Tunnel" or "Shortcut"). How would I go about doing this? Is it possible to add custom skins to a prop, or would I have to make a unique copy of the prop?
You could either recompile the model with another skin, or use a 1 unit thick nodraw block over the sign with your custom texture on the side that faces the player.
However, gameplay signs like that shouldn't have text on them. Small things across the map that are only for details are fine, but when it is important, you risk non-English players becoming confused.

The carrier moved to dismiss all claims, except for the contract claim relating to amounts unpaid up to the policy's coverage limit.
The action arose from a car accident that occurred in 2010, where an underinsured driver struck the insured while she was stopped at a red light. The driver was insured up to $15,000, but the insured's losses exceeded that amount. The driver's carrier tendered $15,000 to the insured, who subsequently requested UIM benefits, under her own insurance policy, in the amount of $26,474 to satisfy her policy's $45,000 UIM limits.
The carrier's agent requested a series of records from the insured, who complied. The agent then offered $21,000 to settle the UIM claim, which the insured rejected because of $28,000 in outstanding medical bills. The agent claimed he was willing to negotiate, but that his authority to settle was capped at $21,000. After a series of additional medical exams and continued denials from her carrier to tender the limits of her policy, she sued in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas. The carrier removed to federal court and moved to dismiss the complaint.
First, the court addressed the insured's bad faith claim, dismissing the allegation as unsupported by factual averments. The record clearly showed that the carrier actively solicited negotiations, sought the insured's medical records, and offered a settlement of nearly three quarters of the policy limit. The court reasoned that the insured's claim that the carrier engaged in an "intentional strategy of making low-ball offers" was conclusory and unsupported.
Second, the court dismissed the insured's consumer protection claim, reasoning that the insured had failed to show that she justifiably relied upon wrongful conduct by the carrier. The insured was unable to even identify any misrepresentations upon which she could have relied, warranting dismissal of the claim.
The insured also alleged that the carrier engaged in fraudulent and deceptive conduct, refusing to pay the full amount of her UIM claim. However, the court reasoned that this was a mere conclusory allegation, unsupported by facts in the insured's complaint. Relying on Third Circuit precedent, the court noted that there is a difference between "nonfeasance" and "malfeasance," which is the improper performance of a contract and not actionable. As such, the court dismissed the insured's claim of fraudulent conduct.
Third, the insured argued that the carrier was unjustly enriched at her expense. However, the court reasoned, unjust enrichment is not actionable where a contract exists between the parties. The court dismissed this portion of the insured's complaint as well.
Lastly, the court addressed the insured's claim for compensatory, incidental, consequential, and punitive damages for breach of contract. The court reasoned that the only available remedy is expectation damages in the amount of $24,000, which is insufficient to confer jurisdiction. As such, the court withheld judgment and remanded the case back to state court.

It was interesting to see the news item that Bill Gates is planning to spend full time on managing Bill & Melinda Foundation activity from 2008 and started the top management transition to Ray Ozzie & Craig Mundie. Interestingly, our own NR Narayana Murthy announced the transition of handing over the mantle in 1999 and actually handed over charge in 2002; he is also stepping down as Executive Chairman on Aug 20, 2006 when he turns 60.
In yet another development Warren Buffet has agreed to transfer several billions of dollars to Bill & Melinda Foundation over the next several years.
India has always held "giving away" – power, position, money – in high respect. "Tyaga" is considered the pathway to Heaven. It is interesting to note the "capitalists" following our "Dharma" than people of the "land of Dharma"!
ET (7/7/2006) is collector's choice. For a change it was edited by seven-person "Team Infosys" (in place of Team ET). Under the overall direction of NR Narayana Murthy Chairman, CEO Nandan Nilekani, COO Kris Gopalakrishnan and the other three co-founders and Directors, Srinath Batni, SD Shibulal, and K Dinesh, along with CFO TV Mohandas Pai did a superb job of editing newspaper with a telling effect.
the issue is nothing but a "collector's choice".
at IIIT-B as part of the launch of South chapter of Bangalore SPIN (Software Process Improvement Network), he narrated the situation in 70's and 80's when typical Indian households were so proud of their Sony Trinitron TV at their homes, that they would not leave any opportunity to drive the conversation to TV, and make sure that the guests visiting home notice the fact that they are one of the proud owners of SONY Trinitron TV!
Murthy exhorted the Indian software professionals to aspire for the same position.
Will the companies who hire Indian software professionals / companies, do the same thing? Will they tell their friends with a sense of pride, that they got their software written by company x from India and they are damn sure it will work flawlessly day in and day out?
That alone will be a sure indication that Indian software has arrived.
There were two iterations of CXO Today's events "Evolution of CIO" (once in Bombay on 24th June and later in Delhi on 4th July 2006) where a CIO along with me talked about the changing role of CIO these days. The audience consisting of about 70-80 CIO's in both the cities added a lot to the discussion.
It was clear that today's CIO is increasingly finding him more aligned to business and end users than mere technology. Normally along with COO, CFO, CMO, CTO, CIO is equally competent to become CEO. But he/she should pick up the skills – people skills, marketing skills and domain skills.
Not every CIO will be ready; not every CIO will make it.
But those who are willing and those who succeed in picking up those "life skills" of a CEO will be unstoppable!


Extractions: Ocean Animal Printouts Oceans cover almost 3/4 of the Earth's surface and contain roughly 97% of the Earth's water supply. Life on Earth originated in the salty seas, and contines to be home to an incredibly diverse web of life. The Earth's oceans are all connected to one another. There are four oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. There are also many seas (smaller branches of an ocean); seas are partly enclosed by land. The largest seas are the South China Sea, the Caribbean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. To find out why the oceans are salty and what causes waves and tides, click here.
Extractions: Fish Printouts Fish are vertebrate animals that live in water, have streamlined. muscular bodies, and are cold-blooded. Most fish breathe using gills. There are three classes of fish: Class Agnatha (jawless fish) - these primitive fish have no jaws, do not have paired fins, and have a skelton made of cartilage (not bone). Examples: hagfish, lampreys. Class Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) - these fish have a skeleton made of cartilage, paired fins, and no swim bladder. Their skin has tooth-like scales (called denticles). Fertilization of eggs is internal. Examples: sharks , skates, rays Class Osteichyes (bony fish -these fish have a skeleton made of bone and paired fins. They also have teeth that are fixed onto the upper jaw. They have a swim bladder (an air filled sac that helps them with buoyancy) that opens into the gullet. Bony fish do not have to swim to breathe (to push water through the gills). Most fish are bony fish.

Extractions: The oceans contain 99 percent of the living space on the planet. The blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, is the largest known animal ever to have lived on sea or land. Individuals can reach more than 110 feet and weigh nearly 200 tons_more than the weight of 50 adult elephants. The blue whale's blood vessels are so broad that a full-grown trout could swim through them, and the vessels serve a heart the size of a small car. Hydrothermal vents, fractures in the sea floor that spew sulphur compounds, support the only complex ecosystem known to run on chemicals, rather than energy from the sun. Gigantic tubeworms and mussels thrive in densities of up to 65 pounds per square foot around vents. The oarfish, Regalecus glesne, is the longest bony fish in the world. With its snakelike body_sporting a magnificent red fin along its 50-foot length_horselike face and blue gills, it accounts for many sea-serpent sightings. Green turtles can migrate more than 1,400 miles to lay their eggs.

There's Massive Growth in Residential Solar Installations
According to a new Gallup Poll, 79 percent of Americans think we should put more emphasis on solar power as a source of domestic energy. When you include those who think we should continue the current emphasis, that's 91 percent of Americans who back solar as the number one priority for domestic power.
Given that level of enthusiasm, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the residential solar market has seen impressive growth in recent years. In the summer of 2015, GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) released the latest edition of the U.S. Solar Market Insight Report, which found that the first quarter of the year was the best ever for residential solar system installations.
Solar represented 51 percent of all new electric generating capacity brought on-line in the first quarter of 2015, which outpaced natural gas. For six consecutive quarters, there have been more than a gigawatt (GW) of PV installations in the U.S., with 1,306 megawatts (MW) installed in Q1 of this year.
Residential solar saw the greatest gains, growing 76 percent over the first quarter of 2014, an 11 percent increase over the previous quarter.
However, the largest share of the market is the utility segment, which installed 644 MW, or 49 percent of new PV capacity in Q1 2015. While it was the smallest quarter for the utility segment since 2013, installations have been above 500 MW for eight consecutive quarters.
"Q1 2015 provided a clear glimpse into the role that residential sector will play as a primary driver of not only solar market growth, but the overall electricity generation mix," said Shayle Kann, senior vice president at GTM Research. "We expect more than 3 million residential solar installations over the next five years, marked by a broader trend toward customer engagement in energy usage, generation and management."
To emphasize how explosive the growth is in solar installations, just consider this statistic: two-thirds of all worldwide solar PV capacity has been installed from January 2011 to 2013. It gets better. That number is expected to double by the end of this year, and then again in another four years.
The future of solar is bright!


The Library of Congress (LOC) has issued an RFI to explore the capabilities of modern collection management and workflow systems. The National Audio-Visual Conservation Center (NAVCC) Collection Management System (NCMS) is seeking information about systems that meet the business requirements.
Last year the Library was notified that software support would be ending in 2022 for its existing audio-visual collection management system. The existing system is called the Merged Audio Visual Information System (MAVIS) and is utilized for much of the descriptive and reference operations at the NAVCC. MAVIS is one of two critical software components to all work performed at the NAVCC and for the retrieval, listening, and viewing of collections material in the Moving Image and Recorded Sound Research Centers.
The second critical software component performed at the NAVCC is the Packard Campus Workflow Application (PCWA) – a custom-developed platform used to manage digital content and associated technical processes. PCWA and MAVIS function together to connect metadata records to the digital assets associated with those records for various functions. The activities facilitated and supported by PCWA include: ingest of born-digital and digitized files; retrieval of files for on-site listening and viewing of collection materials within the Research Centers; generate pull lists to retrieve audio, video, and film material from climate-controlled vaults for digitization workflow; and order fulfilment, including capturing order costs.


It is one of those late-summer-going-on-early-autumn days which wrap their soft warmth into every nip and tuck of body and boat. Slung into my hammock which Simon cleverly whiskered across Rope Sole's ample bow, I have been reading, gazing and musing while Kezzie knuckles down to the serious business of crunching a bone below me.
From across the bay we are crooned by the warbling notes of a barrel organ..or maybe it's a vintage gramophone, there again it could just be last night's pianist who over-ouzo'd and found himself propped at the keyboard when he awoke. Anyway, the tune is vaguely familiar and it's easy to hum along…somewhere between 'never on a Sunday' and 'fiddler on the roof' all very atmospheric and jolly.
From time to time a visiting boat decides to wrench itself away from the idleness and the sounds of anchor chains clattering back into deep lockers periodically cause me to lift my eyes from the page in anticipation of a little drama.
However this is not the season of franticality and I watch as a lone skipper of a 50 footer sets the windlass to 'pull' and ambles along the side decks casually untying fenders and dropping them into the seemingly bottomless pit at the bow, while his handsome craft calmly noses towards her tether.
A little dif ferent from my anxious scurryings and constant expectation that we'll retrieve more than our own anchor. In reality this rarely happens and I resolve to perfect a similar gait, as befitting the unworried.
A few items of washing hang across the line…inner clothes discreetly pegged behind the outer garments, as I was taught to do on rusty wires suspended over narrow streets in Cairo where a similar lack of privacy is normal. I chat to the Swedish lady next door who has taken a break from hoovering her decks to peg out her own smalls and we admire her handiwork. She and her husband have been stripping away old teak and replacing it with ….plastic teak! It's a huge boat and has taken four weeks already. Of course, she says, pointing to our textured plastic surface…currently littered with fragments of bone, lashings of dog hair and random empty bean pods from last night…that's the best thing to have.
We have had some wonderful guests on board over the past few days….treasures recently troved and slightly older ones buffed and becoming more familiar. Together we enjoyed several memorable hours in the cockpit and down below, eating pizzas made by Takis, baklava from a box and Nicoletta's homemade bread…gifted via a motorbike in a narrow lane above the quay.
Leaning back on this mellow day of rest it is as though our lovely God-chosen boat is sighing with contentment too.

Review: High Life
June 18, 2019 June 15, 2019 Categories 2 stars, 2019, Film, Reviewscinema, Film, high life, movie review, movies
High Life, the first English-language film by French auteur Claire Denis, made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018. Planned by Denis for 15 years, High Life finally saw a limited release in the United States in April 2019. In comparing the film to genre heavyweights, it is closer to The Phantom Menace's meandering than A New Hope's quality. High Life would've been better off unrealized.
Monte (Robert Pattinson), Boyse (Mia Goth), and other convicted criminals sentenced to death are given an alternative: serve as guinea pigs on a mission to space to discover and utilize the energy from a black hole. Monte, Boyse, and their fellow crewmembers accept, along with the enigmatic Dr. Dibs (Juliette Binoche), a medical doctor convicted of murdering her own husband and children.
Dibs, by her own choice or as a secondary objective of the mission, obsesses over the idea of conception in space. After failed attempts using a sex chamber and artificial insemination, Dibs eventually succeeds by drugging and raping Monte and inseminating Boyse with his semen. As the crewmembers die of radiation, murder, or continued experimentation, Monte is left to care for Willow (Jessie Ross), the child he unknowingly conceived.
On the outside, High Life appears focused on a man and his daughter surviving on a failing ship. Alone, Monte is forced to operate a ship intended to be manned by a full crew. This is complicated by Willow, who needs baby food and a makeshift nursery, among other childhood necessities. Denis forgoes this compelling narrative for a convoluted story about sexual politics.
Scenes of intense sexuality, including a memorable, lengthy scene featuring Binoche in the sex chamber, border on absurd. Denis, perhaps purposefully, has directed a movie about human sexuality that is more uncomfortable than it is erotic. With relatively stuffy American audiences more accessible to Denis than ever, she may have included these scenes to spotlight American prudishness. Interrogating America's repressed sexual desires does not help to explain High Life's willingness to depict sexual violence, however. Multiple scenes of rape are included in the film and little can be extrapolated from Denis's intentions to include such disturbing content.
The imprecision of the sex scenes doesn't stop there; despite Dibs's fascination with conception in space, sex between crewmembers is forbidden. Predictably, this leads some of the ship's violent criminals to lash out and rape other crewmembers. Giving the benefit of the doubt, Denis likely hopes to make some point about the prison system and the sexual violence therein, but the message is muddied and fails to resonate.
The sound mixing adds to the film's litany of problems. Dialogue is often inaudible. Whether by direction or design, mumbled lines are impossible to make out, even against stark silence. From the same technical standpoint, the cast, one of High Life's few bright spots, deserves recognition.
Indie darling Pattinson carries the film on his back in a performance that straddles the intimacy of the setting and his character's distance from the rest of the crew. André Benjamin (OutKast's own André 3000), is excellent as Tcherny and has a legitimate acting career available to him if he wants it. Goth, whose presence can overwhelm, is well cast here. All three are tremendous, but unfortunately, it isn't enough to salvage Denis's unstaffed ship of a movie as it hurtles through space.
Denis's English language debut is a disconcerting, pointless excursion to space that wastes the promise of its concept and the skill of its actors.

The Maternal Mortality Rate In The US Is High. Colorado Is Spending To Try To Stop It
Nicole Pember has two healthy daughters but during both pregnancies, she could have died.
Not only did she have preeclampsia twice, but she also had HELLP syndrome and severe postpartum depression
"We just kind of have this expectation also that women just suffer for the good of everyone and it makes it really easy to miss very serious problems," Pember said. "Things like Preeclampsia, the symptoms are very similar to just kind of like being pregnant and miserable."
Preeclampsia is a serious, sometimes fatal condition for mid-term mothers that results in high blood pressure, nausea and headaches. HELLP syndrome is the breakdown of red blood cells. It can include liver problems and thinned blood.
Nationally, more women are dying of pregnancy-related complications than any other developed country. The U.S. is also the only developed country seeing a rise in maternal deaths.
In Colorado, maternal mortality rates are low at around 35 women per year, but experts have trouble comparing data.
"It's a little challenging to compare Colorado to other states or to compare any states, really," said Shivani Bhatia, the maternal health coordinator for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "We are generally in the lowest 10 states or so given the rate, but these rates are calculated very differently in each state."
There is a push by the federal Centers for Disease Control to standardize data collection on maternal mortality to make it easier to compare trends, Bhatia said. But for now, there's no nationwide standard definition of maternal death.
Health department data show almost 80 percent of maternal deaths in Colorado are preventable, but Bhatia said "preventable" is a complicated word.
"It could have been preventable at one of a variety of different levels," she said. "It could have been preventable at a facility level. It could have been preventable at a structural or community level, at the societal much bigger picture kind of level. And that's especially true when we're looking at deaths that are due to suicide or to overdose."
The number of mothers who die from medical complications like preeclampsia and hemorrhage is trending down in the state, but deaths from suicide and drug overdose are on the rise.
"I left the hospital and I was like, 'Wow, it is so bright out here,'" Pember said about her postpartum depression. "I spent the day I got home and the next day just like completely hysterical, sobbing uncontrollably for hours on end and I just couldn't handle it."
According to public health officials, the risk factors for drug abuse and suicide apply to mothers too. Ensuring affordable housing is available and that people have access to care can help bring those numbers down, they say. Part of the department's work is to educate doctors and other care providers on treating mental health issues in pregnant women. Many doctors are nervous to use the best substance abuse treatment available — medication-assisted treatment — for people who are pregnant.
In May, Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill that aims to lower maternal deaths in Colorado. The new law requires the state to review and collect data on deaths of mothers. It passed through the legislature with unanimous support.
The group Bhatia runs out of the state's health department has been reviewing maternal deaths since the late 1990s. But with this new law, members of the Maternal Mortality Review Committee said the importance of their work is now officially recognized — both with state law and with funding. They'll get more than $145,000 annually to pay staff and publish data more frequently.
Every few months, the committee — a group of around 25 volunteers — tries to get a whole picture of a woman's life through her medical records to figure out whether it was related to their pregnancy. They think understanding why the woman died will help keep others from dying.
Because of privacy laws and a lack of other resources, the group's knowledge has to come from official medical records.
"Frequently, behind this woman's death is not just what happened in her provider's office, in the hospital, during those 365 days after she gave birth," said Dr. Brie Thumm, a midwife and member of the review committee.
The group also includes doctors, coroners, public health professionals and mental health professionals.
Thumm described the reasons behind maternal deaths as "swiss cheese." Small mistakes or policy decisions create holes and if enough holes line up, someone dies.
"Why was there a delay in care? Why was she not at the hospital when she had symptoms of preeclampsia? Was it that she didn't have a ride? Or was it that somebody had presented the symptoms to her but not in her native language so she didn't understand? Or was she given a handout at a reading level that she couldn't comprehend?" Thumm said.
Only using official medical records presents a major problem when someone doesn't trust the health system, Thumm said. Ideally, she'd like to talk to a mother's family and friends to get a fuller picture of what went wrong.
"I have sort of a visceral fear of bad outcomes particularly in my patients who are women of color," said Dr. Bronwen Kahn, a specialist in high-risk obstetrics on the committee.
Rural women and women of color have a much higher risk of dying a pregnancy-related death. According to the CDC, the vast majority of maternal deaths in the U.S. are women of color.
Kahn said that's because the problem of maternal mortality is mixed up with intangible issues like sexism, racism and poverty.
"I think sometimes [the] whole health care system could do better to listen to women's voices — women who are saying, 'I feel like something's not right,'" she said.
The committee will meet again June 19 when they will begin reviewing cases from between 2015 and 2018. They are required to submit legislative reports every three years starting in July 2020. That will be the first analysis and report published under the new law.
The department has also launched a marketing campaign in English and Spanish to encourage mothers to get mental health care.
Pember said she is still struggling with postpartum depression a year and a half after her youngest daughter's birth. Still, Pember says she was lucky.
"If someone hadn't told me, 'Hey, you need to come into the hospital immediately if that happens to you,' I might have gone back to bed," she said. "Women die all the time because they are not taken seriously by their physicians or they're like, 'I'll sleep it off and I'll get better.' And sometimes you don't wake up."

In recent years, the maternal death rate in the state of Texas has skyrocketed. Now, investigators have determined that the high rate of maternal deaths in the Lone Star State was actually due to inaccurate reporting on death certificates.

A clear, surging mountain stream is an iconic Colorado image, even as water can be pretty scarce in this typically arid state. It's a pristine reputation that several companies have tried to capitalize on.
Sara DeMeola asked Colorado Wonders if bottled water in Colorado has become big business.
"It's hard to find much information on where bottled water comes from or how much bottled water companies have bought into the water rights of the West," she said.
Colorado's Still Exporting Black-Market Cannabis Because It Makes Tons Of Money In Other States
Colorado law enforcement announced in May that they'd seized what amounted to a small forest of marijuana: 80,000 individual plants and two tons of finished cannabis product.
It was part of a sweeping marijuana bust, just the latest in the state's crackdown on illegal cannabis. There have been more than 500 felony arrests and almost 100,000 plants seized between 2016 and 2017, according to the latest data from the Rocky Mountain HIDTA Colorado Task Force.
While Colorado Is Ready For More Renewable Energy, The Grid Isn't — For Now
By 2030, Colorado plans to cut the emission of climate-warming pollution by 50 percent. By 2050, it will be 90 percent.
That means more of the state's energy will have to come from renewable energy, up to 100 percent by 2040, according to a vision laid out by Gov. Jared Polis.
How One Colorado Art Teacher Inspires Kids By Leaning Into Chaos, Not Control
By editor • Jun 4, 2019
Several years ago, art teacher Jessica Ruby started to notice something concerning at the end of each class she taught.
"I would give them their art and they would walk by my trash can and throw it away on their way out of my room," said Ruby, who teaches at Pete Mirich Elementary in Weld County School District RE-1. "I thought, 'What's happening? What's making them do this?'"

Is cast iron plant safe for pets?
Can I place my cast iron plant outdoors in a warmer weather?
Can cast iron plant tolerate cold?
Aspidistra elatior comes in many names such as parlor palm and bar room plant but it is most commonly known as the cast iron plant. The nickname suggests its survival capability in extreme conditions.
The cast iron plant is an herbaceous perennial plant, meaning it dies during the winter but reemerges in spring. This plant belongs to the family of lilies. It has long, pointed, leathery, green leaves and its purple or brown flower blooms near the soil. This type of plant has a lifespan of more than two years. It towers up to three feet tall and can be grown indoors and outdoors.
It is a popular plant in urban areas, homes, and offices for its known durability.
The cast iron plant is known for its longevity. A cultivated cast iron plant can live up to 25 years.
Many scientists were puzzled by the pollination process of the cast iron plant since its solitary flower grows directly from the rhizome or the plant's underground stem.
In 2017, two Japanese professors discovered that Fungus Gnat, a fruit-fly sized insect, is responsible for the pollination. The mushroom-like flowers of cast iron plants attract files with their scent and have them carry their pollens.
Aside from its ornamental use, the cast iron plant's rhizome is used in Chinese traditional medicine for the treatment of various illnesses.
The cast iron plant originated from the islands of Japan and Taiwan, although many mistakenly believe it came from China and the Himalayan region. It reached the peak of its popularity during the Victorian era in Europe, particularly in England, and America.
The cast iron plant is known for its indestructibility characteristic since it can withstand extreme conditions and is a low-maintenance houseplant.
As an indoor plant, it grows in mid-range lighting; direct sunlight can burn its leaves. It requires less water and is humid tolerant, but make sure to keep its soil moist when the air is dry.
When planted outdoors, its spot is usually under the trees where it can get most of the shade. It can also be an in-between filler plant in your garden or in potted patios. Direct sunlight and frequently wet soil may cause your outdoor cast iron plant to die.
The cast iron plant is an evergreen shrub or a plant that retains its leaves throughout the year. It resembles a corn plant with an individual flower that usually blooms unnoticed on the soil level.
The mature size of an indoor cast iron plant can reach up to two feet tall while the outdoor variety can grow up to three feet tall and three feet wide. Cast iron is a slow growing plant; it may take two to five years from planting to achieve its mature size.
Depending on the variety of the cast iron plant, the leaves that grow directly from the soil may have cream-colored stripes to solid green color. If not taken care well, the tips of the leaves may turn into yellow or brown. The size of its leaves may come in between 20 to 45 centimeters in length and 6 to 12 centimeters in width.
Mature cast iron plant blooms one at a time if the condition of the plant is right. Its small, bell-shaped, purple or brown flower is hidden under its foliage almost on the surface of the soil. The flower, however, is considered not attractive.
Aspidistra elatior has variegated varieties but the most common cast iron plant has green leaves.
Also known as the Milky Way, Aspidistra Minor has short dark green leaves speckled with ivory or yellow markings. It has a dark green or black base foliage that contrasts the white spots on the leaves, thus earning its nickname.
Aspidistra Minor is the smaller variety of cast iron plant. It can only grow up to 10 to 15 inches tall.
The most common variety of cast iron plant is the Aspidistra Elatior. It has shiny, deep dark green leaves that grow up to 34 inches long. Aspidistra Elatior usually forms dense clumps.
It blooms a single purple or brown flower during spring.
Aspidistra Elatior is a slow-growing plant. It takes years to reach its mature size, but it can live for more than five years.
Aspidistra 'Okame' has a unique vertical white or cream stripe on its dark green upright leaves which reach up to 36 inches long.
This plant grows slower compared to non-variegated varieties of cast iron plant.
Aspidistra 'Okame' also requires more sunlight than the other varieties to keep its markings vibrant.
Aspidistra Elatior 'Goldfeather'
Aspidistra Elatior 'Goldfeather' is a rare variety of cast iron plant. This Goldfeather is more tolerant to winter compared to its relatives.
Its dark green leaves can grow up to 30 inches long and has light green and yellow streaks on the surface.
It is also the most fast-growing variety of the cast-iron plant.
Aspidistra Elatior 'Asahi'
Aspidistra elatior 'Asahi,' also known as Lime Striped Cast Iron Plant, has pale green leaves that can reach up to 20 inches long and 6 inches wide. This plant is famous for its frosted white leaf tips that are often described as snow peaks.
Aspidistra elatior 'Asahi' is perfect during the winter season since it tolerates cold weather well and complements it with its bright markings.
The word "Asahi" means "rising sun" and this plant is usually used for flower arrangement.
Many people often confused themselves between Aspidistra Elatior Variegata and Aspidistra Elatior Okame since they almost have a similar appearance of having white vertical stripes.
While Aspidistra Elatior Okame has dark green leaves with upright white stripes, Aspidistra Elatior Variegata has creamy white foliage tinged with yellow or lime green marks.
Aspidistra Elatior Variegata is a much slower-growing variant of cast iron plant that needs more sunlight to keep its color vibrant and is less hardy to extreme conditions.
Growing and maintaining of your cast iron houseplant will depend on its variant. Although the growing conditions of these variants are almost alike, it is still important to learn about the differences when it is planted indoors and outdoors.
The cast iron plant prefers medium-textured soil although it can still live with any soil type since this plant drains well. Using African Violet mix or any rich organic matter on the soil is also recommended.
Your plant will grow healthy if you use compost-based soil with pH-value ranging between 5.5 and 7.5.
Outdoor cast iron plant can grow in sandy or clay soil.
Moist but never too dry or too soggy soil is ideal for your cast iron plant. Overwatering can rot the roots, which can cause your plant to wither. Although it can tolerate skipped watering, it is better to keep your plant hydrated, especially during the dry and warmer season.
Ideally, you can water your plant once every two to three weeks if it is kept indoors.
You can personally check your plant if it already needs watering by inspecting the soil using your fingers. Allow two-thirds or at least 50% of the upper soil to dry out before giving its regular watering.
Rainwater is the best to use, but if unavailable, tap water is an option. Just make sure it's stale as possible.
Remember to remove the leftover water from the saucer about half an hour after watering.
You can give your houseplant an occasional room-temperature water spray if the air is much drier.
Generally, the cast iron plant is capable of dealing with any lighting condition, except for direct sunlight. That is why this houseplant is an ideal ornament inside our homes. However, sitting in full shade may compromise its growth, but is barely noticeable since it is a slow-growing plant. Too much light may cause discoloration of the leaves.
When planted outdoors, it is better to place it under the trees where it can get the most shade. If potted in balcony or patios, make sure to put it in an area where it can avoid direct sunlight any time of the day.
Variegated cast iron plants or the colorful varieties need more sunlight than the plain ones to maintain its vibrant appearance. Still, direct sun should be avoided.
The cast iron is a perennial plant, meaning the exterior part including the foliage may wither during winter, but its roots underground remain alive and will regrow in spring.
This plant is known to be hardy on a wide range of temperatures, but it still has its limitations. The right temperature for your houseplant ranges from 10°C to 23°C.
The minimum temperature the cast iron plant can tolerate ranges between -5°C and -10°C. In this condition, the top part of the plant might appear to be dying, but the rhizome under the soil remains intact. The plant can survive winter, especially if planted outside. However, it will take time for it to regrow.
Your cast iron plant can take a maximum temperature of 38°C to 45°C if it is located in full shade.
Humidity is the last thing you need to worry about this houseplant. Your cast iron plant is not picky. It will do fine with any humidity level. That is why many people put this household plant in areas such as in the bathroom. Misting it with water is not necessary when the air is drier, but you can do so as a way to keep its appearance fresh and clean since its large leaves accumulate dust.
You can use liquid fertilizer on your cast iron plant at least twice a month during the summer and spring seasons. Using fertilizer during the fall and winter months is unnecessary.
Common liquid palm fertilizer is ideal for your houseplant. Remember to apply the fertilizer after watering the plant to keep the roots from burning. Avoid using fertilizer on the plant that has just been parted or repotted in less than a year.
As a slow-growing plant, the cast iron requires infrequent repotting. Young cast iron plant needs to be repotted every one to two years while the mature ones don't need any unless they outgrow their pot.
The best time for repotting is in spring. Remember to be gentle with its delicate roots when you do so.
The cast iron plant propagates through plant division. You can do the propagation during the repotting.
Plant division method means you need to carefully separate the rhizome or the root ball to two or more plants. Each root ball should have at least three stems or leaves to ensure its growth. It is preferred to use hands rather than knives when dividing the roots.
White-colored and string-like are sensitive roots, make sure not to damage those.
You can pot up the new plant into new potting soil, keeping it warm and moist until new shoots appear. Remember not to fertilize it yet until it has grown to a suitable size of the root.
Since your cast-iron plant is slow-growing, it rarely needs pruning, unlike other household plants that require frequent cuts to keep its neat look. Pruning is only necessary for this houseplant when removing dead, damaged or diseased leaves. Leaves that are damaged or discolored only on its tips do not need to be removed entirely. Cutting off the damaged part will do fine.
Your cast iron plant is often described as indestructible by many people. Although they are known survivor of varieties of conditions, this plant is still vulnerable to bugs and diseases if not taken care of well.
Too much sunlight causes discoloration of the leaves of your cast iron plant. Remember that your plant prefers shade or filtered lights. Make sure to place them in areas where it is protected from direct sunlight.
Leaf blotch is the brown or black colored spots with bright yellow ring around it on the leaves of your cast iron plant. The blotches are caused by a fungus called Fusarium. If neglected, it may spread to the other leaves since the blotches release spores that infect the unaffected foliage.
Infected leaves should be pruned off the plant immediately. Make sure to disinfect your cutting tools after the pruning to remove the spores that have clung on your equipment.
You can also use broadband fungicidal on the plant to prevent the spread.
Aside from overwatering, root rots are also caused by a soil-based fungus called Fusarium solani. This disease is difficult to treat so early prevention is the key.
Do not overwater your plant. As much as possible, keep your cast iron plant dry or moist to minimize the development of the fungus on the soil. Make sure your pot drains well. Remove the infected leaves immediately to prevent the spores from reaching the stem and soil.
If the roots are already infected, you can use fungicidal or biofungicide to limit the rotting.
Southern blight is the dark brown lesions or spottings that attack the stem caused by Sclerotia rolfsii. The wounds are usually found on the stem near the soil or beneath the soil level.
It causes the leaves to turn yellow and wither. Whitish mycelium of puffy masses forms on the affected parts and the soil around the plant.
The disease spreads if the soil is overly wet. You can treat the disease using a copper-based fungicide spray.
If you think the damage is already big, discard the plant immediately and make sure to apply new soil and disinfect the pot if you will use it in repotting a new plant.
Red spider mites form webs on the leaves and suck the sap out of your cast iron plant until it grows unhealthy and later on dies. It can infest indoor and outdoor houseplants. Due to its small size, red spider mites can only do a little damage. However, it can be a problem if numerous of it infested your plant. These mites reproduce quickly and usually invade plants during warmer and drier weather.
Shower your infested indoor cast iron plant with water. Make sure the entire pot is covered so the soil will not be washed out or drowned. Wipe the leaves of your plant using a moist cloth regularly. You can spray calcium-free water, rainwater or demineralized water.
If the invasion occurs in your garden, it is also recommended using its natural predators such as mesostigmata, lacewings and ladybugs.
Scale insects create a sticky honeydew on the leaves that attract ants and other fungal diseases. Scale insects damage and kills the foliage of your cast iron plant by sucking its sap. Most scale insects produce wax that protects them from their predators and repels insecticides.
Like scale insects, mealybugs feed on plant juices. It produces a wool-like web that covers the infected area of the leaf. Its body is also covered with wax.
You can spot the infestation of scale insects and mealybugs on your plant as they start to cover the surface of the leaves with webs and scales.
If you see an infestation, wipe the leaves of your cast iron plant with a cloth drained in ethanol for two days.
You can also coat the leaves with neem oil that contains azadirachtin, which kills scale insects and mealybugs.
Having a cast iron plant in your home is like having an independent and loyal life companion. Independent in the sense that it is low maintenance and almost live on its own. It is tolerant of extreme weather and environmental conditions, can survive days without water and rarely needs pruning. However, the cast iron plant is not fond of sunlight. It is happiest when placed under a shade.
Your cast iron plant is a slow-growing plant. It takes years to reach its mature size, and for that reason, it is more expensive than other plants in the market. The effects of fertilizers may be gone unnoticed because of its speed growth. This plant can grow up to three feet tall and three feet wide.
The cast iron plant can live for a decade if well taken care of. Variegated varieties of cast iron plant require more light than non-variegated to keep its colors vibrant. It produces a solitary flower hidden under its foliage if the plant is in good condition. It propagates through the plant division method.
Although the cast iron plant is indestructible, it is still vulnerable to diseases and pests. Make sure to check your plant up regularly.
The cast iron plant is non-toxic and is safe for humans and animals.
The cast iron plant can tolerate a wide range of temperature. It can take up a maximum temperature of 38°C to 45°C if placed under a full shade and watered regularly. Avoid putting it in areas where it can get direct sunlight any time of the day. Misting your plant with water during drier periods is fine. Aside from making your plant look fresh and clean, it can also prevent infestation, which is prevalent during warmer seasons.
Your cast iron plant can tolerate up to -5°C to -10°C. If your plant is outdoors during winter, the foliage may die due to frost and low temperature; however, the rhizome or the root underneath the soil remains alive. Your plant will regrow in spring, but it will take time to recover. Better to keep your potted cast iron plant indoors for hibernation before the first frost.

Frontline Nursing Alumni Honored
By Lorraine Joyce
Associate Director for the Buccino Leadership Institute Katherine Connolly and Patricia Esposito, a nursing senior and Buccino Leadership student, both organized "Celebrating Seton Hall's Frontline Nurses" and served as master of ceremonies for the event.
After witnessing the challenges that nurses have been through during the COVID-19 pandemic, Clinical Assistant Professor of Nursing Katherine Connolly, M.S.N. '99/D.N.P. '17, who also serves as associate director for the Buccino Leadership Institute for the College of Nursing, wanted to do something to recognize alumni nurses who were frontline providers over the past year and half.
"Celebrating Seton Hall's Frontline Nurses" was held on Friday, September 17 on Seton Hall's South Orange campus in Bethany Hall and served as an evening of celebration to "recognize these efforts at a time when most people cannot comprehend what our profession has been through," per Connolly. The event was sponsored by the College of Nursing in conjunction with the Buccino Leadership Institute.
Patricia Esposito, a nursing senior and Buccino Leadership student, quickly volunteered to take a leadership role in organizing the event and served as an emcee during the event. "Recognizing the importance honoring our frontline nurses, Patricia eagerly volunteered to collaborate, organize the event and serve as master of ceremonies with me," said Connolly. "This included requesting our alumni nurses send in pictures of themselves in their PPE and, with those, she created an emotional tribute video that was featured that evening."
"Honoring those who gave their service in helping others is a privilege, and made this event extremely special," said Esposito. "We all have the potential to turn a life around. Whether that be a small act of kindness or a large act of compassion, we can all make a difference in someone's life through our own actions."
During the event, Esposito expressed her gratitude to the alumni nurses for their service. "While the rest of the world stayed at home, you went to work, day after day, bravely trying to fight back this pandemic. There are nurses in the room tonight who were new graduates just out of school and were thrown into this firestorm as their first nursing position," she said. "We also know there are nurses in the room tonight who got sick with Covid from their level of exposure at work. And let's not forget that there are many in this room tonight who assisted dying patients with heartbreaking final goodbyes."
Over 115 alumni and guests attended the event, including College faculty and administration who wanted to honor and thank our frontline nursing alumni. "Many of the nurses in attendance were touched by the inspirational testimonies and the number of faculty and administration who were in attendance to express their appreciation," said Connolly.
Opening prayers were led by nursing alumni Ana Santoliquido '15 and Christiana Molnar '14, followed by opening remarks by Marie Foley, Ph.D., R.N., dean of the College of Nursing.
Connolly pictured with College of Nursing alumnae Lisa Blomgren '15/M.S.N. '21 and Maureen Schneider, Ph.D. '14.
"Each of you has your own story to tell, whether it was your innovation when PPE was scarce, being present with your patients who were dying alone because their loved ones were not able to be with them, or not going home to your own families because you did not want to bring this terrible virus back to infect them," said Dean Foley that evening. "But you all share the same story of dedication, perseverance, innovation and great accomplishments. You also share the fact that you live the mission of Seton Hall every day in your work and as exemplars of servant leadership."
Two College of Nursing alumna, Lisa Blomgren '15/M.S.N. '21 and Arlene Kennedy '16 spoke of their experiences as critical care nurses during the early months of the pandemic. Blomgren received her B.S.N. from Seton Hall and recently served as a graduate assistant in the College for the past two years while earning her M.S.N., Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. She is now board certified as an acute care nurse practitioner, accomplishing all this while working full time as a nurse in the ICU. Kennedy graduated with her B.S.N. in 2016. Upon graduation, she immediately began working at the ICU at Centre State Hospital in Freehold and still works there. Kennedy shared her experience from when the news media descended upon her hospital in droves early in the pandemic when seven members in one family contracted COVID-19, four of them losing their fight against the deadly virus. As a nurse working in the ICU, Arlene and her colleagues cared for this family, witnessing the heartbreak they went through.
Bryan C. Price, Ph.D., executive director of the Buccino Leadership Institute also spoke about the leadership and selflessness of nurses during the pandemic. Price, who is a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S. Army, is a graduate of U.S. Military Academy at West Point and has a career steeped in leadership development. Prior to coming to Seton Hall, he taught at West Point and was director of the Combating Terrorism Center, a center with significant global influence.
Videos with well wishes were viewed from those who could not attend in person and included Seton Hall President Joseph E. Nyre, Ph.D.; Monsignor Joseph Reilly, S.T.L., Ph.D., rector and dean of Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology; Leslie D. Hirsch, FACHE, president and CEO, St. Peter's Medical Center; and Robert C. Garrett, FACHE, CEO, Hackensack Meridian Health.
Saint Peter's Healthcare System, the Atlantic Health System, RWJ/Barnabas Health and Hackensack Meridian Health were co-sponsors of the event. Representatives from these healthcare agencies were in attendance to express their thanks to the nurses. This included Judith Caruso, D.N.P., M.B.A., FACHE, executive board member, St. Peter's University Hospital; Maureen Schneider, Ph.D. '14, chief nursing officer, Chilton Medical Center; Donna Ciufo, D.N.P., vice president of nursing education professional practice and leadership development, Hackensack Meridian Health; and Jain Zhang, APRN, cardiology nurse practitioner at RWJBH and preceptor for the College's Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program.
Other attendees at this alumni event included Karen Boroff, Ph.D., the former Provost whose vision it was to expand the Buccino Leadership Institute beyond the Stillman School of Business and include other colleges and schools in the university.
After the event, Connolly received many emotional text messages and emails from alumni who said they really needed the event to help them process what they have been through. "The event highlighted the reason why nursing is the most trusted profession," said Connolly. "The College of Nursing is very proud of their alumni for their courageous work during this unprecedented time."
Looking back at the success of the evening, Esposito reflected, "It was my honor to work on this project to recognize the heroic efforts of Seton Hall nurses and nurses around the world during this crisis. I am in awe of all the sacrifices each of the nurses made. They are our role models, our heroes and our inspiration."

Help me find a new hair goo!
I have a longish pixie cut that I wash in the morning and let dry on my way to work. When the weather is nice, it tends to frizz a bit as it dries, so I like to put something on it when I get into the office to smooth things out. My current stuff also makes my hair nice and shiny. It doesn't leave any crunchiness or goo, and I don't have to wash my hands afterward.
I'm looking for something that's easy to use, will control my frizz, preferably smells nice, and is fairly cheap (under $10). Suggestions?
*Side note: While they probably though the name was cute/clever, it makes it nearly impossible to track down, so I can't figure out if there's secretly a store that sells it or if someone has a stockpile on Ebay or something.
ETA: I'm NOT looking for anything that's made to hold hair in a certain style. Right now my hair is exactly like it would be with nothing on it, only smoother. This stuff has zero hold and I'm happy with it.

Château Beychevelle
Domain: Château Beychevelle
Located on a low plateau, the vineyard in AOC Saint-Julien adjoins the commune of Cussac. Most of the plots have soil similar to Latour, consisting of coarse gravel with the drainage enhanced by numerous channels. The chateau was built in 1565 by Bishop Francois de Foix-Candale. His niece, who inherited it, married Jean Louis de Nogaret de la Valette, first duke of Epernon, grand admiral of France and governor of Guyenne, close to King Henri III. The power and fame of the Duke were such that the boats which passed in front of the domain had to lower the sails in sign of allegiance, hence the name Beychevelle (meaning baisse la voile, or lower the sails in the local dialect). A new chateau was built in the middle of the 18th century by the Marquis de Brassier, Baron de Beychevelle. The property was classified fourth growth in 1855. Several owners succeeded one another until today: the Japanese Suntory and the Castel group are now co-shareholders of GMF (Grands Millésimes de France), which possesses among other things the Chateau Beychevelle. The vineyard extends over 90 hectares within an area of 250 hectares and the grape variety is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. It is managed through responsible farming. Château Beychevelle has become one of the best names from the Médoc region.

I recently purchased a number of Philips Hue lights after having some Belkin Wemo bulbs for a number of years. The nice thing with the Philips Ecosystem is that their API's are fully open source and are really easy to integrate with. PHue++ is a set of C++ classes which encapsulate the Philips Hue Lights API as defined at https://developers.meethue.com for Windows. The Hue API is implemented as a RESTful interface. PHue++ uses the author's WinHTTPWrappers classes to provide the HTTP connectivity and JSON++ to handle the JSON parsing. All the functionality provided is included in a C++ namespace called PhilipsHue and is included in one PHue++.h header file.
