Holiday Retirement Sells Operations Business to Atria, 86 Communities to Welltower for $1.6B in Megadeal
Posted on June 22, 2021 by John Nelson in Acquisitions, Company News, Florida, Midwest, Ohio, Seniors Housing, Southeast, Top Stories
Springs of Napa is a 102-bed independent living community in Napa, Calif. Atria Senior Living recently took over operations from Holiday Retirement. The two companies are merging under the Atria banner to be the second-largest seniors housing operator in the country.
LOUISVILLE, KY., WINTER PARK, FLA., AND TOLDEO, OHIO — In a massive blockbuster deal for seniors housing, the seventh-largest operator of seniors housing in the United States (Atria Senior Living) will acquire the third-largest (Holiday Retirement), with the largest owner in the country (Welltower) buying up a large portfolio of the affected assets.
Atria, a privately held seniors housing operator based in Louisville, has agreed to buy the operations business of Winter Park-based Holiday Retirement. Meanwhile, Toledo-based REIT Welltower (NYSE: WELL) will buy the 86 properties that Holiday owns and self-manages for slightly less than $1.6 billion.
Holiday currently manages 240 communities in 43 states, largely in the independent living sector. The combined company will employ more than 19,000 staffers to serve over 45,000 residents. The new firm will manage 447 communities across 45 states and seven Canadian provinces. The newly combined entity will be the second-largest seniors housing operator in the country, behind only Brookdale Senior Living.
After the transaction, Atria will manage more than 250 "nearly identical" communities and higher end properties such as the recently opened Atria Newport Beach in Southern California, as well as luxury urban properties that Atria is co-developing in a joint venture with Related Cos., according to John Moore, Atria Senior Living chairman and CEO. Welltower is also a partner with Atria and Related for two upscale properties in the pipeline coming to San Francisco and Hudson Yards in Manhattan.
Atria has assumed management of Holiday communities in the recent past. In March, Atria took over operations for a portfolio of 21 independent living properties owned by New Senior Investment Group.
According to a release from Atria, the two brands will continue to operate separately and maintain their own current headquarters. Terms of the Atria-Holiday deal were not released, but multiple outlets list private equity firm Fortress Investment Group as the seller of both the Holiday operations division and the 86 Holiday properties.
The deal values the real estate portion of the transaction at $152,000 per unit, which Welltower estimates as a discount over replacement cost of 30 percent. The capitalization rate comes out to 6.2 percent, and occupancy is currently 76 percent, according to Welltower.
Atria plans to retain Holiday's senior management and staff, with the transactions expected to close simultaneously in the third quarter. Welltower notes that the low occupancies during the COVID-19 pandemic are already showing signs of improvement, with the portfolio showing an increase of 2.7 percent since "bottoming out" in March 2021. The portfolio's occupancy rate stood at 76.3 percent as of June 20, 2021, according to Welltower.
Welltower and Atria have agreed to "a highly incentivized and strongly aligned enhanced RIDEA 3.0 management contract based on both top and bottom-line financial metrics" for the 86 properties, according to Welltower. Richard Anderson, managing director and senior REIT analyst at SMBC Nikko Securities America Inc., expects Atria's tech-facing approach to pay immediate dividends in property-level performance for the portfolio, which should attract investor attention.
"Once Atria takes over and deploys its technology approach to the Holiday business, we wouldn't be surprised if a number of follow-up conversations emerge among the REITs," says Anderson. "It is a congested playing field right now with a lot of cooks in the Atria kitchen. [Ventas] itself owns about 170 facilities currently run by Atria, and a number of other REITs will inherit Atria when the Holiday merger closes."
Welltower and Atria plan to invest $1.5 million to $2 million in capital expenditures per community in the near future. Ten of the properties will be expanded, including some with new cottages for rent. Five of the properties in the portfolio have been identified as "higher and better use candidates," meaning they will likely be repositioned or razed.
"By joining forces with [Holiday CEO] Lilly Donohue and the great team at Holiday Retirement, this transaction enables Atria to continue on our path to create a thoughtful variety of choice as an unprecedented number of seniors seek new residential options in the decade ahead" says Moore. "We are eager to work with the Holiday team as we together build the best pure-play management services business in senior living and create value for Welltower and the other owners of the properties we manage."
"John and the Atria team share our vision for the significant, multi-year growth opportunity in the seniors housing sector and we are excited to embark on this journey together," says Shankh Mitra, Welltower CEO and CIO. "Through a highly incentivized and aligned management contract, we have created tremendous upside opportunity for stakeholders of both Welltower and Atria."
"We are deeply familiar with the Holiday assets, having looked at them multiple times in the past, and have the utmost respect and admiration for Lilly and her team," continues Mitra. "We are delighted that we could finally align the interest of all parties, with strategic and value creation opportunity for Welltower's shareholders."
Welltower's stock price closed on Monday, June 21 at $81.53 per share, up from $51.38 a year ago.

California Water Service to Begin Water Infrastructure Upgrade in Redondo Beach
TORRANCE, Calif. — California Water Service (Cal Water) will begin a water main upgrade in the El Nido neighborhood of Redondo Beach that will strengthen water system reliability and infrastructure resiliency while also enhancing fire protection in the area.
The installation, which begins Monday and will take approximately eight weeks to complete, includes the installation of 5,400 feet of new 12-inch ductile-iron water main on Inglewood Avenue, from 190th Street North to Artesia Boulevard, to replace aging main along this street. The utility will also replace six fire hydrants and eight service connections.
"This water infrastructure upgrade will ensure we can deliver a reliable supply of safe, high-quality water to Redondo Beach residents and businesses for their everyday needs, as well as a sufficient supply for firefighters to protect our community in an emergency," said District Manager Dan Armendariz. "This project is just one part of our proactive investment in the water system infrastructure so we can keep providing quality, service, and value to our customers, both now and for years to come."
Construction will be performed Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., and crews will make every effort to minimize traffic delays during construction. After construction has been completed, Cal Water will conduct water quality tests and tie all individual water services to the new main after test results confirm the water is safe to drink. All streets, sod, and landscaping impacted by the construction will be restored to as close to the previous condition as possible. Cal Water serves about 308,900 people through 92,000 service connections in the Rancho Dominguez District and another 44,600 people through an operations and maintenance contract with the City of Hawthorne. Cal Water serves about 2 million people through 484,900 service connections in California. Additional information may be obtained online at www.calwater.com.

Only 5% of welders are females. This young woman from Union County is joining the ranks of women who weld.
Jan 1, 2020 Updated Feb 6, 2020
Hannah Merriman, 23, completed her welding coursework at Shawnee Community College in December, and has been certified by the American Welding Society. She joins other females across the country breaking into the traditionally male-dominated field.
Provided by Shawnee Community College
Hannah Merriman took nursing classes in high school — like a lot of the girls at her school. After graduating in 2015, she went to work as a certified nursing assistant.
But she didn't care much for the work.
In 2016, she enrolled at Shawnee Community College without any particular direction. While researching her options, she was struck by a thought: What about welding?
"But I wasn't sure, because I'm a girl and I'm five feet tall, and I didn't really know if that was something I should even be thinking about."
She completed her coursework in December, and — after a challenging test — received a call on Dec. 13 that she'd been officially certified by the American Welding Society.
Welding is a field that is expected to grow, especially as the nation's aging infrastructure faces repair needs nationally. It offers competitive wages and steady work, and Merriman joins other females across the country breaking into the traditionally male-dominated field. Efforts to grow the number of female welders have drawn headlines lately. "Weld Like a Girl: A Millennial Woman's Success in a Man's World" was the headline of a Forbes feature on the subject in November. "These women are turning to welding for a financial spark," was the title of a story in the Detroit Free Press in June.
Still, only 5% of welders nationally are women, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Merriman said she was nervous when she signed up for her first welding class. She'd been taking general studies for a couple of years, but was still uncertain about her future. She mentioned the idea of joining the welding program to an adviser at the college.
"And they said, 'Oh my gosh, well, there's a 'Women in Work Boots' tonight actually that starts in two hours," she said of a federally funded initiative of the college's to introduce females to trade careers.
She hung around campus for a few hours, wondering what she was walking into. "That's when I met my instructor, Randy, and got to weld for the first time in my life." It was "very cool," she said.
Hannah Merriman, 23, of rural Union County, was recently certified as a welder. Though a traditionally male-dominated field, Merriman encourages high school girls or women looking for a career change to give it consideration.
Merriman was nervous, though, and didn't want to spend too much money on something she might not like. She decided to take an introductory class before signing up for the full-time program. Merriman said that first semester was challenging, but welding also felt natural to her. "I really just clicked with it," she said. "My teacher said it would probably be a mistake for me not to go into welding."
Your membership makes our reporting possible.
That teacher, Randy Lingle, has been teaching welding classes for 27 years — about a dozen of them at Shawnee Community College. He has previously taught at Southeastern Illinois College in Harrisburg, and at Vienna Correctional Center.
"Hannah came in, and she said, 'I don't really know if I want to do this, can I take a class and see if I like it?' She took the one class and she took to it like a duck takes to water. She loved it, and she's good," he said. "She really performed well. She's one of the top students I've had."
Merriman, 23, grew up in rural Union County. As children, she and her brother were assigned their share of chores — inside and outside the house. She took care of their horses. Manual labor and hard work, she said, were expectations, but also something she enjoyed. "I like working with my hands," Merriman said. "I like to be able to do something different every day, rather than sit in the same spot every day."
In high school, Merriman said she felt steered into the medical field or office-type jobs, as the trades weren't discussed much with the girls. After graduation, she went to work as a CNA at a nursing home. "It wasn't really a bad experience," she said. "It just proved that wasn't what I wanted to do."
When she took her first welding class, Merriman was one of two females. Having another woman in the class with her helped. But, she said, "I would be lying if I said it wasn't intimidating."
"At first, you kind of wonder what they're thinking or what they're saying. But, as time went on, I got to know these guys and, for the most part, they're just down-to-Earth regular guys with sisters — they're good guys." For the two semesters she was enrolled in the program full-time, Merriman was the only female in her class.
Merriman said she is impressed by how hard Shawnee works to introduce women to its trade programs. She suggested area high schools take a cue from the community colleges. Young girls might be missing out on opportunities they'd enjoy simply because no one has introduced them to the idea, she said.
Lingle said he hasn't seen a large increase in female students, but he has taught several throughout the years. Women may shy away from considering welding, he said, because it's been seen as a traditionally male job. That's an unfortunate stereotype, he said.
"It's something women can do if they want to do it," he said. "And most of them are pretty good at it. It seems like they have a steadier hand."
Some women, he said, find the tools intimidating. But Lingle said that taught properly, and given the confidence to know they can handle it, most get over that fear. Merriman said that's how it was for her.
"The oxy acetylene torch, it shoots fire out," she said. "The first time I saw it and the first time I used it, it was really, really cool. But at the same time it was scary, because it's fire. It was intimidating for me at first, but I got used to it."
Only 5% of welders nationally are women, according to federal employment statistics.
Merriman said she would encourage girls in high school or women looking for a career change to give welding consideration. To be sure, she said, it's not for everyone. It requires working long hours in uncomfortable positions and is physically demanding. But Merriman said that for those who take to it, welding can offer a career that is steady and interesting.
"Most of the time, it is pretty fun," she said. "It's not all fun. But if you're one of those girls that likes a bit of a challenge, it's definitely something to look at because there are so many work opportunities, and most of the time companies are looking for girls because they want to meet a standard at that."

So-called-development agenda throughout Southeast Asia has grabbed communities' land which then impacting children and young people's lives, especially the ones living in rural areas. In the name of economic growth, land grabbing for various economic development projects have violated children and young people's rights to reach the full and harmonious development of his or her personality due to the insecurity of his/her family's livelihoods because of land dispossession and dispossession of access to land (LD-DAL).
A plausible explanation for the state of Southeast Asia region as the World's number one for land dispute, 88% whilst global average percentage is 61%, as written in Nikkei Asian Review, citing a research recently published by UK-based consultancy TMP Systems and the Rights and Resources Institute. Road construction to connect every spot therefore facilitating goods transportation–even from and to the most remote ones, dam building in the name of fulfilling energy demands for industry, cement exploitation despite the existing function of the land as paddy fields—again to fulfill industrial demands, are only three out of dozens economic projects that have evicted people from their lands, or at least that have limited people's access to their lands.
Whilst scholars and activists have argued that land-grabbing has caused and will continue to cause serious environmental and social problems in the long run, there has been a very small number of discussions on the latter by linking it to rural children and rural youth wellbeing. This issue of land-grabbing has been overlooked and has not been acknowledged by parties as a process that has a huge impact in a long run due to disruptions it causes in rural children and rural young people's lives as well as in rural communities' future. Whilst tones of literature and discussions can be found on the impact of neo-liberalization political economic conduct to depeasantisation phenomena, and on the other hand, since the 1970s growing number of literature discussing the women's rights violation and its link with natural resource governance including the discourse of land-grabbing, however, literature that explained about the impact of land dispossession and dispossession of access to land (LD-DAL) to rural children and rural young people, is very limited.
On the other hand, not only that these rural children and rural young people's situations due to LD-DAL has been given very little attention from parties, their potentials have also been wasted—the potentials despite the livelihood uncertainties they are facing in the midst of landlessness. The wasted potentials are not disadvantages only for these young people, but also for their local community which also links with the nation's prosperity in the long run.
This concept note is proposing the urgency to include LD-DAL as part of the component considered as the right to a healthy environment in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. To arrive at this thesis, first, this brief will elaborate the impossibility of achieving the ideal environmental situation where a child should live in, as written in the Child's Rights Convention (CRC), given the situation where the community is losing their land or losing their access to it. Secondly, this brief will explain various situations why LD-DAL is important and has links to other environmental problems that explicitly mentioned in the CRC. The last part of the brief is a proposal to push forward the embodiment of the Right of a Child to a Healthy Environment.
One should bear in mind that this submission is prepared by highlighting the situation of rural young generations—one of the marginalized groups in various spaces: discourses and debates, empowerment, as well as the decision-making process.
Those sentences aforementioned above is a situation that is impossible to be achieved in the midst of land-grabbing happening throughout Southeast Asia due to the neoliberal regime where everything is privatized and commoditized for the sake of economic growth. Whilst everyone has acknowledged and are very much keen on the jargon of "ensuring the future generations' rights over natural resources" when we talk about definition of the term "Sustainable", we are lacking in acknowledging that current insecurity of livelihoods due to land dispossession and dispossession of access to land (LD-DAL) has already impacted the quality of life that current young people are experiencing. The uncertainty of their livelihoods due to LD-DAL has caused them having a disconnection with their local natural richness because nothing in the system and almost none in their supporting system are encouraging them to do otherwise. It is predicted that these current children and young people who are having low level of education because their parents become landless and thus become farming labors with much lower income compared to when they still had their land, will be expelled to urban areas working in various informal jobs or in factories are the most common situations that we will see in the future. Another thing to be considered is, then, who will own the countryside?—this question will link to the reinforcement of rural youth unemployment and therefore the issue of their dignity.
Although some efforts have been made in international level to highlight the articulation of the Right of a Child to a Healthy Environment, there is no submission to include LD-DAL's that implies their rights fulfillment. It is hard to imagine the future of our nations with people growing up in uncertainty and with far-from-optimum opportunity to arrive at their maximum capacities. It is almost impossible to even hope that our forests, our land, our coasts, will continue to be managed sustainably the way they have been managed wisely for hundreds of year by local and indigenous communities when the youth nowadays have no opportunities to master it so that they will be able to do it by themselves in 10-20 years from now.
The CRC has incorporated physical environment aspect as well as social environment that is familiar to him/her, to fulfill children's rights to grow. However, in rural areas, this situation is very much linked to their control over land. It has been acknowledged that "extreme economic and social inequality is further exacerbated by land insecurity, which in turn affects political stability and security. A number of farmers' demonstrations in Southeast Asia are deep-rooted in land insecurity"—however, to link it with rural children and rural youth situations are very rare.
Landlessness has not yet been considered and acknowledged as a factor that hinders the family environment to be experienced by young generations, as well as less pollution, or environmental degradation, that is to see it in a bigger perspective. The security for young people to have clean water is threatened once a village is surrounded by big palm oil plantation, a situation that can be found in Orang Rimba community in Jambi, Sumatera, for instance. At the national level in Indonesia is how the explosion of palm oil business contaminates local water sources with chemical fertilizers and pesticides.Not only that, many of these concessions grabbed decades-old community-managed forest areas; due to the legislation and its implementation that does not take sides with community-based forest management. These so-called development has been forcing young people to migrate to other places, often to big cities and working in low-level of professions with little income, not because they opt to, but because they have no other choices; farming is impossible not only because there is not so much supports and protection from the government, but also because there is simply no land to be tilled. The access to a safe playground is limited when a mining corporation starts their operations in one site, putting children's lives at risks due to dangerous pits where the mine is exploited, like the one happened in Kalimantan, Indonesia, when two little boys were drawn to death in these mining pits in 2016.
Starting from environmental degradation, climate change, to the grabbing of the land as living space itself, we are facing threats to our living space today. Various efforts need to be done in order to guarantee the Ecological Child Rights that increasingly eroded by the neoliberal agenda which in most case, benefits only a small part of the earth's inhabitants while continuing to pose a serious threat to the environment and the marginalized ones, including rural children and young people. This seems to be a common problem faced by the inhabitants of the southern hemisphere, including the Southeast Asian nations, Indonesia is one of them.
Children and youth are a social group that will inherit our living space in the future. All adult's ecological decisions and actions of today will greatly affect the lives and existence of this social group and their descendants in the future – human beings. This is why the right of a child to a healthy environment is so important that it has been explicitly noted in international conference documents since the Stockholm Conference (1972).
Having said that, in Indonesia, despite 16 laws and regulationsreleased by the Government following the ratification of CRC in the country (among others: Ministerial Decree (MoMT) No. 235/2003 on Types of Work that are hazardous to the Health, Safety, or Morals of Children, Presidential Decree No. 87/2002 on the National Action Plan for the Elimination of the Sexual Exploitation of Children, Law No. 11/2008 on Electronic Information and Transaction that includes up and downloading of child pornographic materials) there is no single regulation/decree/law that has been released in regards to child's rights to a healthy environment, moreover to link it with the LD-DAL.
In the midst of liberal economic conduct to be accomplished through the AEC, national regulations on child's rights to a healthy environment have never been this crucial. To use the perspective of CRC whilst carrying out mega economic projects, one can see that damages to our future are on its way, parallel with the infrastructure building, connectivity improvement and so on and so forth. Whilst the infrastructure facilities are improving, our future leaders (i.e. current (rural) young people) are not well-trained or well-educated, which will let them only working as informal workers with less or only minimum wage and at the same time risking their environmental knowledge to diminish.
In relations to that, we urge that young generation should be included in the decision-making process of environmental governance starting from the local level.
Addressing these issues to ensure the Ecological Child Rights, it not an easy task to perform. It requires the synergistic involvement of various parties, including the youth themselves. For youth to begin to face this challenge, it takes an initial effort to bridge the gap between their practical life and the environment they live in. In many cases in Sumatra, Borneo, and Java LD-DAL issue has kept the youth groups from involvement in agriculture and other land-related professions. This is what then transformed into a knowledge gap about the threats to their own lives and futures. Environmental education functions as the main tool for empowerment. It reintroduces them to their surroundings, to the richness of its biodiversity, to the local history, and to the meaning of certain cultural practices that are relevant to natural resource management, including the problems they are facing now. It also equips young people with the skills for becoming local facilitators, enabling them to share with visitors their knowledge of the issues faced by their community, and their broader implications.
Not only for marginalized youth groups, environmental knowledge is also important for youth groups in urban areas. This group, which has been surrounded by and accepting modernity without much of asking, is an important asset in advocating the Ecological Child Rights. Their access and consumption modes, especially relating the new media, is a political potential that can not be underestimated. As a secondary target of advocacy, this group is strategic in increasing political pressure on policymaker institutions. Thus, knowledge is essential in promoting the culture of solidarity and resistance amongst marginalized youth groups amidst the environmental changes directly or indirectly affecting their ways of life and threaten their existence. Knowledge is the key to a life of dignity.

Q: How to get the list from a string in Groovy? I have string listString = "test1 test-2 [test-3, test-4]"
Is there a way to get the list from the string
I tried to fetch the list using the below code, but it only returns the last value from the string test-4] , which is incorrect
toutput = listString.substring(listString.lastIndexOf(' ') + 1)

Expected output [test-3, test-4]
Once I get the expected output, I want loop through the output list to get the values from the list
Sample code:
for (o in toutput){
  println(o) // test-3 and test-4
}

Any help would be appreciated
Thank You

A: This should give you the expected answer:
def listString = "test1 test-2 [test-3, test-4] test5 [test6, test7]"

def lastItem = (listString.split( '([ ](?=\\[))|(\\][ ])')).last()

assert lastItem == '[test6, test7]'


On the morning of June 12, 1982, as the sun shined down on the green grass in Central Park, people began to gather carrying signs for nuclear disarmament. Throughout the morning, buses arrived from around the country. By the afternoon, nearly every blade of grass was covered. Citizens filled second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, and Madison avenues. By mid-afternoon, the police estimated that over 750,000 people were in Central Park demanding an end to nuclear weapons. By the end of the day, that number had swelled to 1 million.
The rally and subsequent march were organized around the United Nations Second Special Session on Disarmament. While nuclear disarmament was the main focus of the rally, many in attendance expressed the belief that nuclear weapons were indeed linked to other social justice issues. For many black participants, there was a direct link between the money President Reagan was spending on nuclear weapons and poverty in their communities. From the larger issue of militarism to Reagan's support for death squads in El Salvador, the rally was intersectional.
Thirty-five years later I sat on the Great Lawn with Leslie Cagan to reflect on June 12th rally. While it is clear that it took many to make this event happen, if there was one person who was looked at as the main organizer, it was Leslie. Born in 1947, Cagan grew up in the nuclear age and became a life-long activist organizing on issues ranging from nuclear disarmament to Vietnam.
Perhaps the true legacy of the June 12th rally is the recent success of ICAN and the passage of the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty at the United Nations. Just like Cora Weiss and Leslie Cagan in the 1980s, we again are witness to strong and influential women like Meredith Horowski, Beatrice Fihn, and Ray Acheson who are leading the fight to eliminate nuclear weapons. And like the 1980s, there is a conscious effort today to connect nuclear weapons to race, gender, and economics. This all came full circle for me when I attended the Women's March to Ban the Bomb in New York City June 17, 2017. Hearing Leslie and Cora speak side by side with a new generation of women fighting for nuclear disarmament was truly inspiring.
Vincent Intondi is an Associate Professor of History at Montgomery College. He is the author of African-Americans Against the Bomb: Nuclear Weapons, Colonialism, and the Black Freedom Movement and is currently writing a book on the June 12th, 1982 rally for nuclear disarmament.


counting thunderclaps and lightning bolts in the wrong order. So it is that some people can commit horrible actions with no sensible benefit. This Socratic reform focuses on correcting and strengthening the blind vigor of our human instinct to thrive by establishing a persistent practice of seeking to replace ignorance with knowledge. The spread of human evil most often requires the subtlety of lesser consequences in order to find its springtime. The more able we are to cooperate effectively in a group, the more capacity we have to benefit our own individual welfare in a society. In this work we gain the crucial element to put us in good relations with morality. We cannot afford to wait until we are swept away by a tsunami of harm before we recognize the presence of real evil in our society.
He is often regarded as the founder of a school of thought known as British Empiricism, and he made foundational contributions to modern theories of limited, liberal government. I couldn't agree morewe need to actively teach students out of using the five-paragraph essay, which is little more than an organizational framework. Applying to college and trying to find all the correct essay prompts?
When we are thoughtfully attentive to those who think differently, the value of reason touches the world. Is this poem any less beautiful or deeply human just because it was written by Adolf Hitler Denk' es!" 1923)? Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries.
Acting out with blind vigor on behalf of false confidence is the highway to hell. So it is that our ethical thoughtfulness about moral right and wrong is born of and embraced through self-interest. Under the influence of fear, we all circumvent and abridge our ethical thinking. If you answered yes, you must try to asses your answer. Read the essay, " The Socratic Temperament ". We find ourselves often ethically paralyzed because we are extraordinarily delicate and fearful beings facing life's blunt and brutal challenge to survive. The quality of human character manifests visible and measurable results in the group functioning of our daily living. In ceasing to question, we cease to be capable of being moral. Historical consensus declares this a myth invented by New Atheists. Even when ignorance and fear happens to lead us to a non-harmful result, our ignorance and fear represent a character liability that must be overcome with knowledge and courage. A particular behavior may be harmful in this or that circumstance but what application essay does tulsa require not others.
Living the examined life, in which the daily exercise of questioning our own ideas, habits, and character help us to reject forcing ourselves to be absolutely sure we are right just because we are fearful and needy. Socrates believed that doing injustice made us less just and diminished our character. To commit actions and follow ideologies just because we are told they are right is our own personal version of the " Nuremberg defense " regardless of the results of our actions. Is your confidence in your existing knowledge a sound basis for all future action in the absence of future learning and thinking? It is true that people can choose to do things they know other people think are wrong.

A 5-year-old boy presented with two episodes of generalized tonic-clonic convulsions lasting for 5-10 minutes, without regaining consciousness. There was history of vague periumbilical abdominal pain since 1 day. There was no history of fever, vomiting, loose motions, head trauma, drug intake, past history of convulsions or contact with tuberculosis. On admission, he was unconscious with a Pediatric Glasgow coma scale score of 8/15 (E2 V2 M4). He was afebrile with normal vital parameters. His weight and length were below the 5 th percentile, suggestive of malnutrition. All the deep tendon reflexes were depressed with bilateral extensor plantars. Rest of the central nervous system and other systemic examination was normal. Hemogram was normal except for low hemoglobin (8.6 g/dl). Liver and renal function tests, blood sugar, serum electrolytes, arterial blood gas analysis, urine examination and serum calcium were normal. Peripheral blood smear and rapid antigen test for malarial parasites were negative. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination including viral studies for herpes simplex and Japanese encephalitis were normal. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was normal. Stool examination revealed eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides. HIV serology was negative. Ultrasonographic examination of abdomen revealed multiple worms in the jejunal lumen. He was started on intravenous fluids, loaded with intravenous phenytoin and was given piperazine citrate (150 mg/kg initially, followed by 65 mg/kg/dose BD for 3 days) through Ryle′s tube for 3 days. Blood culture and CSF culture showed no growth. The child passed several round worms in stool and vomitus on the 2nd day of admission. He improved and regained his normal sensorium within 72 hours of admission. He did not receive any other antibiotics or antiviral drugs. After excluding other causes of encephalopathy and response to anti-helminthic treatment, the diagnosis considered was acute encephalopathy secondary to ascariasis. He was discharged after 5 days of admission. Electroencephalogram done after 10 days was normal and phenytoin was tapered and omitted. On follow-up after 6 months, he is symptom-free and well.
The clinical presentation of ascariasis depends on the intensity of infection and the organs involved. [1] Although most individuals are asymptomatic, few can present acutely with intestinal obstruction and extra-intestinal complications. [1],[2] Extra-intestinal complications can involve the pulmonary, hepato-biliary, renal and central nervous systems. [1],[2],[3] Encephalopathy as a presenting feature of ascariasis is unusual and rarely described. [3],[4],[5] Bapat et al. reported a 4-year-old male who developed encephalopathy and obstructive jaundice due to Ascaris. [3] He was treated with mebendazole with rapid improvement in sensorium. Similarly, Selimoglu et al. and Jat et al. have reported Ascaris encephalopathy in a 3.5-year-old girl and an 18-month-old boy, respectively. [4],[5] Both the patients had history of passing Ascaris worms in their vomitus prior to admission. In addition, the boy also had abdominal distension and a lump palpable around the umbilicus. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed worms in the jejunal lumen. Both the patients were treated with pyrantel pamoate with rapid improvement in sensorium. The diagnosis in the above cases was established by excluding other causes of encephalopathy and by the response to antihelminthic drugs. The pathophysiology of encephalopathy in ascariasis still remains unclear. Various hypotheses have been put forward including the adverse effects of toxins produced by the larval or adult worms or their metabolites like acetaldehyde.[3],[4],[5] Another hypothesis postulated is an immune mechanism involving an antigen-antibody type of reaction in hypersensitive nervous tissue. [3],[4],[5] Encephalopathy due to ascariasis should be managed with supportive treatment and anti-helminthic drugs. The various anti-helminthic drugs used in the treatment of ascariasis include albendazole, mebendazole, pyrantel pamoate and piperazine citrate. [1],[5]
Ascariasis is a common problem in children in tropical areas, particularly in the malnourished children. Physicians should be aware of this unusual presentation of ascariasis and should consider it in the differential diagnosis of unexplained encephalopathy.

The old Rashielee Quay or Rashielie Quay (NS471709) was located on the old Lands of North Barr, situated on the south bank of the River Clyde in the Parish of Inchinnan, between Bodinbo Island and Park Quay. It was built to facilitate the loading of boats and barges with whinstone excavated from the nearby Rashielee Quarries that was brought to the quay by a horse drawn wagonway.

History

The Lands of Rashielee
In 1497 Rashielee, North Barr, Craigton and Barscube were obtained by charter from the Darnley's, Earls of Lennox by the Stewarts of Barscube. This family held the lands until around 1670 when most of the estate was sold by Thomas Stewart to a wealthy Glasgow merchant, Donald Mac Gilchrist, who built the old North Barr House in 1676. They then passed to the Balfours, Lord Sempill in 1741, John Buchanan in 1798 and Lord Blantyre of Erskine House in 1812. In 1843 Mr Maxwell of Dargevel was the proprietor of the property.

In 1856 John Henderson was the owner of Rashielee Plantation and Rashielee Quarry although Rashielee Farm and offices were held by a John Hamilton Esq.

The word 'Rashie' is Scots for an area or field filled with rushes.

Rashielee Quarries
The two long and narrow quarries utilised stone from two linear dikes (igneous intrusions) that run through area at least as far as the site of the old quay. Due to its hard wearing characteristics whinstone is widely used for pavements, road building, jetties, etc.

Construction of the training wall known as the 'Lang Dyke' below the Erskine Bridge started in 1773. All the whinstone had to be floated down to the site on barges at the slack tide and placed underwater. The dyke was added to in later years on the west end using whinstone from the Rashielee Quarries.

The whinstone from the Rashielee quarries is from the same lava flows that formed the Renfrewshire Hills. Circa 1810 its whinstone was used as stated for a westward extension of the Lang Dyke and also the anti-erosion surfacing of other training walls, etc. in the River Clyde such as the one near Bodinbo Island close to the southern side of the old Erskine Ferry.

The quarries had been abandoned by 1881 when a drop in the population of the parish is recorded as being due to the unemployment caused by this closure.

Some of the quarry faces are still visible from the pedestrian paths that now run through the landscaped site.

Rashielee Quay

Description of the quay, dock and wagonway

The quay was built to provide loading facilities for ships and punts collecting stone for use along the course of the River Clyde.

In 1857 track ran from both quarries towards the quay, dividing into several sidings and ending where a crane was located and a beacon together with several berths including a dock or basin. A building was located within the eastern quarry. By 1895 the quarries were abandoned, the track lifted and the quay apparently abandoned although a crane is still marked.

Rashielee Cottages are shown at a location where a building had been present when the quarries were operational.

In 1939 the quay is officially marked on the OS maps as disused. The quay has been infilled and landscaped however much of the dressed stone from the old quay has been used in the landscaping.

Rashielee Light stands on a cast iron cylinder close to Park Quay. Once oil fueled, it was later converted to compressed gas and now powered by electricity.

WWII

A WWII barrage balloon site was identified in the area however nothing now remains of the structure. Many barrage balloons existed in this part of the clyde to protect people, housing and industries against German aircraft.

Ahhhh, just reminiscing about our #21DayGreenUp Smoothie Challenge. We all had an amazing time blending together!
This time our menu included the Instagram stars, smoothie bowls!
The ingredient possibilities are endless, they're simple to make, and you're able to pack in a ton of nutrients in one bowl. Your mornings will be changed forever!
Tip #1: Make your bowls thick. Start with less liquid than you normally would for a drinkable smoothie, and/or you can also add some extra base ingredients like frozen fruit to the blender. I usually do the frozen fruit trick because it makes the smoothie sweet as well as super thick and creamy. You can always add more liquid as you blend so start with less.
Tip #2: Chill your bowl. Pop your bowl into the freezer either before getting started or while you prep ingredients and blend your smoothie. It makes a world of difference! Melting can happen quickly so a chilled bowl can keep things frosty longer.
Tip #3: Layer it on! What really makes smoothie bowls different are the toppings. Compared to a glass, the extra surface area of the bowl lets you bring texture and crunch in the form of nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, granola, and fresh fruit.
Now are you ready to whip up some bowls?!
A great way to enjoy the IT green tea! The pineapple gives this bowl a tropical feel as well as a vitamin C boost.
Make this bowl in under three minutes. Add raw cacao nibs for instant yumminess. This one is kid-friendly but still contains the dark leafy greens.
Almond butter, chia seeds, and hemp seeds make this a protein-packed option for post-workout. The cinnamon is a great sweet somethin' somethin'.
Use frozen fruit as much as possible to make the bowl thick in consistency.
What toppings do you like to add to your bowls?
Now that you have breakfast covered, here are some clean lunch and dinner recipes.
PS. If you want the 21 green smoothie recipes (including the menu plan and shopping lists), go for it! The #21DayGreenUp is FREE!

"If you're walking in feeling down on the fact that you don't love BODYPUMP 122, you're already starting on the back foot."
by Khiran Huston
The queen of motivation, Khiran Huston, shares her top tips to being a catalyst for change in her classes.
How do I motivate?
I guess I do have a particular style and it's definitely intrinsic motivation. I've never been about the aesthetic, ever. I'm always about the feeling of exercise because that's authentic to me and I also think that caters to a larger number of people: feeling good because you chose movement today.
It's just who I am as a person. I always want to make sure that I'm giving people value, that I'm not wasting their time. I genuinely have this deep belief in people – both in fitness and life. If my husband has a passion, I just so badly want him to be successful and be happy. If my friend has something that they want to achieve but they're not sure they can do it, I always want to help them believe in their own talent. People have so much potential and I think that they just don't see it. But I see it. It's like I have special glasses.
So, when it comes to motivation, I want people to know that I believe in them, and I want to give them the tools to achieve their goals in class.
Motivation is different for everybody. Your quality of movement could be the thing that's motivating about you. Maybe you're an incredible dancer or are perfect in your BODYPUMP technique. It doesn't always have to be verbal.
The first part of creating motivation is to have a real connection to and understanding of the program that you're teaching.
You need to be connected to the essence of the program. The way I motivate in LES MILLS TONE™ or BODYPUMP™ is completely different to the way I motivate in LES MILLS SPRINT™ or THE TRIP™.
If we look at a strength-based program like BODYPUMP, the essence is to be strong and grounded. I guess there's a typical person who comes to BODYPUMP who wants to get typical results: get stronger and improve their technique. But when it comes to TONE, the essence of that program is around fun and athleticism. It's more about working the stabilizing muscles, so I'll try to think of motivation that supports that focus.
You'll never see SPRINT Khiran in TONE. They are completely opposite programs. With SPRINT, it's pure HIIT training. It's hard and it's horrible but if you do it right, you will get the results. The fact that all Les Mills programs are backed by science gives me the confidence to go in and tell people that if they do the thing, they will achieve their goals. We haven't just put a random mix of moves together and hoped for the best or that one percent of people will get it – these programs have been tested and the results are guaranteed.
And then in BODYBALANCE™, I have a completely different motivational style again. When I teach that program, I'm very spiritual – which you would never guess from seeing me teach SPRINT. But it's very authentic to me. If you came to my house you would see I have a crystals EVERYWHERE!
Once I've connected to the program, I like to set an outcome. This might be for the track itself, or for the entire class. I have a group of people in front of me, and they want to achieve something particular from their training, whether it be to feel good, get a little stronger, or improve their health. I try to base my motivation around that so I'm not off on a random tangent saying something irrelevant.
I never script the exact words I'm going to use.
I'll think of something like a technique or an idea I want to bring in, but the words themselves are always in the moment. In my mind, it'll be: "insert motivation here". Actually, I often forget what I say on Masterclass because it's so in the moment. The biggest thing is to associate a feeling with the movement rather than thinking about the task itself. For example, when I said: "your legs carry you your whole life, let's give them some love" in the Squat track in BODYPUMP 118, that was inspired by a conversation I saw on social media about pump weight selection. It was around not lifting enough in squats and I thought to myself: hold on, our legs literally carry our entire body all day everyday, any extra weight they carry should be celebrated.
Or in BODYPUMP 122, in the Back Track, when I said, "this is your kind of training, with your kind of people" – that came from filming week. Glen sat all of us down as a team and told each of us what he loved about our coaching, what our unique strengths were. It was powerful to hear that from him, and the cue came from my feeling inspired by the power of our team.
Some Instructors don't refresh their motivation.
I hear them saying the same cues and they'll use them across every program that they teach. And that's not a bad thing. But it's also not genuine. Motivation has to come from a place of real care and belief in the people that are in front of you. It's like how you deliver the praise, "good job". You can say, "good job" in a very throwaway manner and people will be like, okay, well, she was full of crap. Or if you're really genuine about it, it's like "that was a good job", and say it like you mean it. I feel like that's the same with motivation as well.
In terms of updating my motivation, I listen to a lot of podcasts and I read a lot about different techniques and ways to achieve goals. My bible books are "Atomic Habits", by James Clear and "Relentless" by Tim S Grover. I also love Agile Coach podcasts because they're all about mindset. They're about experimentation and inspection and adoption.
Use the first track to gauge your audience because if you come in all hot and firing about human growth hormone and how the training is going to make you such an athlete but you have a bunch of moms in the room – it might not land.
I'm constantly questioning if what I'm saying is valuable
At the end of the day, people are giving up their time to be here. I want to make sure that what I'm saying adds value to their journey. You can only go and see your favorite movie so many times before you know the lines that are coming and they no longer have the same impact they did the first time, right?
It's the same with motivation. If you say the same thing every single class, it starts to lose its impact. There's one class I attend and in the recoveries, the Instructor always tells me to "breathe". And yes, I understand the intention behind it, but they literally say it in every recovery. In my head, I'm thinking: "I am breathing. It makes me want to stop breathing so you have to resuscitate me and use your CPR skills". Obviously, I'm being facetious but I'm sure you get my point!
To find the perfect recipe for motivation, first off you have to trust the fact that people are coming to your class for you – there's something about your style resonates with them. Be confident in that. And then think about the program and what outcome you want for the class.
What are you known for?
Motivation is different for everybody. Your quality of movement could be the thing that's motivating about you. Maybe you're an incredible dancer or are perfect in your BODYPUMP technique. It doesn't always have to be verbal. A lot of the motivation that comes from my husband, Vili, is that he's a pure athlete and when he teaches BODYPUMP, his movement is inspirational. He makes the barbell float.
Or with Glen Ostergaard, he'll never do a big motivational spiel in SPRINT like I do, but the just the way he moves on the bike is motivating. When Glen and I teach together, we're like yin and yang. My strength sits in the coaching space, and his is in the way he moves. He's incredible, and I'm motivated just by watching him on the bike. It's impressive and it's inspiring.
My five tips for your next class are:
Identify what you're excited about, whether that be the playlist or the type of training. If you're walking in feeling down on the fact that you don't love BODYPUMP 122, for example, you're already starting on the back foot. It has to started with enjoyment; you need to be pumped.
Have an outcome for your class. Whether that's: "today I want to make sure that everyone understands the purpose of doing a million and one pulses" or whatever the thing is.
Use the first track to gauge your audience because if you come in all hot and firing about human growth hormone and how the training is going to make you such an athlete but you have a bunch of moms in the room – it might not land. You might have intentions to talk about how we're firing up the neuromuscular system but if this isn't going to be right for your audience – prepare to pivot.
Know your music so you know where you're going to drop in your motivation. So if you've got 72 pulses in a row, you're probably not going to drop your motivational cues in the first 20. You're going to save it for that halfway point to keep people going – bring them home sort of thing.
Finally, don't use cues from the Masterclass if they don't resonate with you! Be authentic to who you are and where you live. I'm pretty sure in middle America you don't say: "shot, bro". Use the Masterclass as an example and then change up the words and language so it's appropriate for you and your audience.
I also encourage you to think about the program from a participant's perspective. Sometimes we can be in teacher mode constantly and forget what it's like to be a beginner or a regular participant. Different people are going through different stages in their fitness journey and they've been with the program for different lengths of time. Sometimes we can be so fixated on "I have to learn the choreography and then I have to hit these coaching layers" that we forget about like we're actually teaching fitness. And not only that – we're providing people with a fitness experience. At the end of the day, it's the experience will get them coming back not only to that program, but to you as an Instructor.

Colombia Plane Crash Survivor Speaks About Last Moments
By Oliver McAteer
A survivor of the Colombia plane crash that claimed the lives of Chapecoense soccer players has spoken out about the final moments leading up to the tragedy.
Erwin Tumiri, a crew member, said safety procedures saved his life when the aircraft smashed into the mountains near the town of Medellín, Colombia on Monday night.
He told Colombia's Radio Caracol,
Many passengers got up from their seats and started yelling. I put the bag between my legs and went into the fetal position as recommended.
A total of 71 people died in the crash. The initial number of fatalities was reported to be higher, but the figure changed after Colombian aviation authorities confirmed there weren't as many people on board as originally thought.
Tumiri is one of six survivors. Three members of the Chapecoense soccer team survived and are currently being treated at a nearby hospital.
Goalkeeper Jackson Follmann had his right leg amputated, defender Alan Ruschel underwent spinal surgery, and another defender, Helio Neto, remains in intensive care with severe skull injuries.
The team was set to play Atletico Nacional of Medellín in the Copa Sudamericana final. Today, fans are mourning the loss of their players.
Exactly what caused the crash is unclear at this stage.
The pilot of the LaMia CP-2933 contacted a control tower while flying at 10,000 feet to say the aircraft was experiencing electrical difficulties, reports El Tiempo.
In audio obtained by a local radio, Miguel Quiroga can be heard saying the plane has an electrical fault and is low on fuel.
The plane is believed to have broken in two after it smashed into a mountain.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is underway.
Officials have flown over from Brazil to examine two black boxes found in the wreckage.
Yesterday, rescue workers were pulling bodies away from the site and loading them onto a helicopter.

KARACHI - Pakistan's new cricket chief on Thursday expressed his delight over the rescheduling of the Champions Trophy, saying it would open doors for more world-class cricket in the troubled nation.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday rescheduled the biennial eight-nation tournament, which was postponed this year amid security concerns in Pakistan, to next September.
The ICC said the tournament would go ahead between September 24 and October 5, 2009, with the matches being played in just one city, rather than the two mooted for this year.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt said it was welcome news. "Of course, it's a big relief," Butt told AFP from Dubai where he attended the two-day meeting. "Previously there was some opposition on holding this event in Pakistan but I am happy that it was a consensus decision."

REVIEW: Faction Paradox: Burning with Optimism's Flames
EDITED BY JAY EALES FOR OBVERSE BOOKS
Stories within stories, histories overlaying histories… the Faction is back, and they're around here somewhere…
A short introduction, for those who aren't familiar with this range. Faction Paradox are a time-travelling fetish cult, originally from the Homeworld of the Great Houses (read - Time Lords), dedicated to the disruption of history for chaotic effect. Set against the backdrop of a vast War in Heaven, between the Great Houses and an unnamed Enemy, the stories of the Faction span time, space, fiction and reality. Obverse Books are the current licence holders, and Burning with Optimism's Flames is their second major anthology release for the Faction.
As I've come to expect from Obverse, this is an excellent release, although I don't think it's quite up to the superlative standards of their first volume, A Romance in Twelve Parts. Nonetheless, there are some truly stunning pieces here, from the best upcoming fantasy writers. Although some stories explore similar themes, each of them involves different characters and settings, from ancient mythological history to a distant, posthuman future. Many are only tenuously linked to the Faction, others feature them directly. There's a good mix of genres on offer, although most of the stories veer towards horror, a genre that suits Faction Paradox perfectly.
Both the opening and closing stories delve into history, as the Faction and their enemies look to manipulate events to suit their own aims. Both Elizabeth Evershed with 'Raleigh Dreaming,' and Philip Pursar-Hallard with 'De Umbris Idearum,' explore how one well-placed, remarkable individual can change the course of a civilisation's development. Both works take a historical period and insert the anachronistic influence of the time-active powers. 'Raleigh Dreaming' sees the great explorer confronted by the fallibility of memory as he languishes in the Tower of London. It's very different to Evershed's previous story in Tales of the City, but exquisitely written.
Tales of the City was in fact edited by Philip Pursar-Hallard, who here explores a different facet to the Faction universe than his own creation, the City of the Saved. 'De Umbris Idearum' features the Remote, a media-dependent group that is essentially the offspring of Faction Paradox. PPH is a Christian, and when his work explores his faith the results are always fascinating. 'De Umbris Idearum' explores the life of one of history's true visionaries, Giordano Bruno, and the history, and destiny, of the Catholic Church. With nested stories in the past, present and future, this closing story is one of the best in the book.
The book explores more than just European history, however. 'La Santa Muerte' links the eponymous Mexican death spirit to the Faction in a brief but effective tale of murder. 'Dharmayuddha,' by Aditya Bidikar, is a stunningly well-written piece that looks at Hindu myth through the prism of the War in Heaven, or at the War through Hindu myth. Complex, creative and illuminating, it's a highlight of the collection.
Some authors opt for a contemporary setting to produce gripping horror stories. The truly talented Kelly Hale crafts a sexually charged story of manipulation in 'Dos Hombres - A Fable,' which shares some elements with Juliet Kemp's chilling 'Squatter's Rights.' In fact, the latter story's musings on memory tie it in nicely to the concepts explored in the opener, 'Raleigh Dreaming,' providing an element that helps hold the disparate collection together. 'Office Politics' by Alan Taylor is one of the creepiest things I've read in a long time, developing from the simple concept of a new boy coming into an established office team and ending as something quite disturbing. I'll never be able to look at a Matryoska doll in the same way again. Any reader who enjoys tales with a touch of the horrific will relish these three stories.
James Worrad's 'The Strings' starts slowly, but had me utterly gripped by the conclusion. Set in a distant future, 'The Strings' spans high fantasy and science fiction, on a world touched by godlike beings and subject to manipulation from all quarters. 'All the Fun of the Fear' is an overlong comedy story by Stephen Marley. A slice of far-fetched fiction in the style of Robert Rankin, it has some cute ideas but crucially isn't very funny. It's the collection's only real miss for me. Marley's author bio at the back is pretty good, though.
'Wing Finger,' a historical piece by Helen Angove, is a tale of European politicking, strange travelling companions and "Ptero-dactyles." Written in a pastiche of the early 19th century epistolary style, it's hugely entertaining. 'Remake/Remodel' features an underused aspect of the Faction universe, Faction Hollywood. Jonathan Dennis provides a cutting satire of the movie industry, marketing and the return of the superhero, as Faction Hollywood takes one young hopeful, use him to further their aims and then spit him out.
'… and from the Tower she did fall' is the most explicitly Faction Paradox based story in the collection, set in their own realm of the Eleven Day Empire. Cate Gardner's tale is slight but filled with some arresting imagery. 'After the Velvet Eon,' by Simon Bucher-Jones, is an opaque but poetically written fantasy, which sees a future legend become a battleground. Just gorgeous.
The penultimate story, 'A Star's View of Caroline,' is a quietly ingenious piece by Sarah Hadley. In the aftermath of an extraterrestrial invasion (a very familiar one, at that, and rather appropriate in this anniversary year), a temporal catastrophe has left some unfortunate individuals in a state of trauma and possibly with visionary insights. It's an exploration of the strangely misplaced hero worship of the damaged and disabled, a look at the hardships faced by the survivors of terrible events, and an intriguing look at the possible consequences of meddling with time. It's also a sequel to an earlier story by Hadley, 'Man of Smoke and Dust' in 2001's Doctor Who charity anthology Walking in Eternity. Caroline is a fascinating story in its own right, but having read the earlier story did add a little something.
Burning with Optimism's Flames is a fine collection of tales with real scope and depth, held together by a mostly consistent tone. There's a sense of paranoia to be gained from reading it, as the malign forces of the Faction universe each work at us and our history for their own ends. Unlike many shared universe collections, there's both consistency and variety here, with characters and settings drawn from throughout history and imagination. One thing links all the stories: the inescapable sense that nobody's safe.
