Ireland's Oldest Student Paper
Coordinating our compassion
Incoming president Jack Natin explains that the new database is just one of the many ways VDP is taking social justice to another level
Jessie Dolliver
Trinity's own St. Vincent de Paul society, or VDP, is the biggest society on campus. According to the Central Societies Committee it is also the best, having won this years awards for both Best Large Society and Best Overall Society. The size and scope of VDP means that everyone knows someone involved – whether it be volunteering in soup runs, participating in the pantomime, or organizing after school kids clubs.
VDP is well known for being packed full of members with astounding altruism and charity, to the point of making you wonder how in the hell people get this nice. My flatmate Mide is very involved in VDP – she leaves the apartment at 6 in the morning to work as an occupational therapist, runs a kids club immediately afterwards, cycles all the way home, and finds me deep into my fourth hour of eating biscuits at the kitchen table.
I don't know how she is so nice – I joke that one day she will snap, buy a shitty sports car, and move to Las Vegas in a haze of disillusionment with the world. She laughs at this but I don't know if she actually thinks it is funny. Being in VDP means you laugh at all jokes, especially the unfunny ones. Because you are so nice.
VDP are now taking things to a new level. This weekend they are set to launch an online database of the soup runs all around Dublin city, to allow charities to coordinate their efforts. Very often people who work in homelessness charities say you won't starve on the streets of Dublin. This isn't as controversial as you might think.
When out on a soup run, it is common to offer someone a sandwich and some soup, and for them to politely decline, telling you that they've already been asked 7 or 8 times that night. There are a plethora of soup runs in Dublin city, with parish action groups and rural charities travelling into the city armed with hi-vis vests, soup, and the best of intentions.
This is a testament to the strong charity culture in Ireland, but time and sandwiches go to waste in the crossfire. VDP hope that the new database will increase the efficiency of groups and individuals doing outreach and soup runs by preventing overlap of days and times.
The database is being launched by the Social Justice Committee of VDP. This committee was established late last year to look further into the social injustices of things like homelessness, identify the root causes of the injustice, and propose viable solutions and actions that Ireland as a nation could take to rectify the injustice.
Jack Natin, the incoming President of VDP, and outgoing member of the Social Justice Committee, explains that the motivation of this work is to bring about larger, structural change – as the society has held soup runs and addressed social injustices immediately, but have not had the opportunity to analyze social issue more closely. "There was no push for long term change, which should be what our society does," Jack describes, "We should be pushing for our society not to need to exist."
The committee focuses on one topic per year, and the topic of this year was homelessness, as it is an area that the society and its members already have a great amount of experience in. Along with Jack, Andy McLoughlin and Hugh Fitzgibbon headed up the committee, with three different goals of education, awareness, and push for change.
Andy McLoughlin took charge of the education section, having spent last summer compiling resources on the homelessness crisis, and using this information to hold weekly discussions. Jack explains that "Every week someone new goes away with a question that we want answered. Andy spent his summer finding different sources from which people could answer these questions – Irish Times articles, papers published by various NGOs, government papers, speeches from the Dail." These resources were collected in a Google Drive, and used throughout the year. In the next meeting, the person who had been tasked with research question returned and presented their answer to the question as best they could.
This may be more easily said than done, as a question might be something like why did the housing crisis start. On the surface this seems to be easily answered, but the questions inevitably lead to complex discussions. Having these complicated questions is important however, maintains Jack, as "We couldn't really defend a stance on a given topic or have a particularly good impact on a topic if we didn't know about it ourselves."
Then there was awareness, which was the next step in the year's campaign, run by Hugh Fitzgibbon. Awareness-raising involved hosting events centred around the topic of homelessness, such as panel discussions. Jack clarifies the aim of this: "Well I suppose there is no point in us just knowing. Once we've educated ourselves, we then try to find out the best way to make other people aware of the problem, and how to solve it."
The committee has also run a digital campaign to raise awareness called Ask Why. "Its on Facebook and Instagram, about the housing crisis," says Jack, "It quizzes people on particular statistics to do with the housing crisis… how many houses that are vacant, how many children that are homeless, and the rates at which thats been increasing. Those rates [that] are very high haven't been seen before in this country, certainly not in modern times."
The last part of the project is where the soup run database comes in – push for change. The committee is determined that they "don't just want to talk about it, we don't just want other people to talk about it. We want something to actually happen." This is the stage that VDP members are most involved in, in terms of putting away hours to the project.
After a period of data collection, done online, through phone calls, and by sending out teams to find and talk to soup runs in the city, the database is ready to be launched online. This took enormous effort on the part of the volunteers, with between 8 and 16 volunteers out collecting data every day of a week.
Niall Molloy, a third year computer science student contacted his department to organize the database and website building projects. In Trinity, second and third year computer science students do a module where they build some software or a website for an outside organization. VDP managed to be included in this module, making the most of the great resources and varied skills students have within the college. A team of second years worked on the project to compile the data, and Niall managed the website construction.
The work that the committee has done shows the value of well informed discussions and critical analysis of our society at large. Many of the conversations held in the social justice committee return to governmental policies, plans, and structures, such as the Rebuilding Ireland plan, and policies implemented in the recession.
The key cause of homelessness is the current housing crisis – housing prices are so high people can't afford their rent anymore. Many of the tools and regulations designed to control rent prices, such as rent caps in high pressure zones,aren't functioning as well as intended and failing in their intention. The social justice committee is interesting in that no one political party seems to dominate the group. Partisan politics are rarely discussed in the meetings, and are never the centre points in debates. However, they are not slow to criticize the government at large. Jack points to very simple actions that could be taken: "We need more houses or we need the government to put vacant properties back on the market.
A lot people are just holding on to properties because they know that prices will just keep on rising, and they can put it on the private rental market. Properties owned by NAMA are going to waste. There needs to be some sort of penalty on people holding on to vacant properties. The government's plan is to build more social housing and that's a good plan, but they haven't been building anywhere near to where they promised. They've built about a third of what they had promised to reach at this stage. "
The committee also had some interesting findings on Ireland's response to homelessness. One of the reasons that soup runs, and other responses to homelessness, are so disparate is that many of them are run by different church groups or separate parishes. Jack describes the landscape of the charity community in Ireland: "Almost every charity in Ireland was set up by some religious organization. Even the big ones to do with homelessness: Simon, St. Vincent de Pauls, Father Peter McVerry… A lot of them are religious in their foundations. This may be the reason why there are so many as opposed to one central system. Even with the soup runs, so many of them are related to a particular church group."
Ireland is interesting, in that many of the basic provisioning and public services necessary for the most vulnerable people in society are provided by private groups of citizens, or by the charity sector. Why is this? "Certainly in recent times, you could point to the fact that we have had so much austerity since the recession. The only people who could, or were willing to, provide for people made homeless were charities," explains Jack. He elaborates that "Single-parent benefits were cut during the recession for example, and that resulted in a lot of single-parent families becoming homeless. They represent a huge proportion of the people who have recently become homeless. In the US its similar, in terms of charities having to do a lot, where the government isn't doing enough."
Jack hopes that the tool of the database will make a big difference in "freeing up those human resources so that they might possibly be used in other services." He explains that "Loads of people want to help solve homelessness but the only way they see of doing this is the soup runs." There are other ways to help that the committee are interested in, which include both political lobbying and an in-depth outreach which will allow homeless people to build up lasting relationships with volunteers.
Jack seems to have thought a lot about the issue of political engagement and volunteering. "A lot of people want to give of their time, as opposed to getting really politically active." he clarifies. The things that need to be lobbied on are actually very simple, he says: "There aren't enough houses being built, and a part of that is because construction materials in Ireland are more expensive than they would be in other countries. That money has to come from somewhere, and that means increasing some sort of taxes.
There has to be some lobbying there from someone for those taxes, which is going to make some people angry and unhappy." And Irish people, being as non-confrontational as we tend to be, would rather not make people angry and unhappy. Jack impression is that this is "why it is way easier for people to volunteer on the street than getting politically active. Because you see immediate effects, and that's satisfying, so that is what people want to do."
Building up lasting relationships was a key point that the committee hit upon this year, and has given them some ideas to move forward with. "One of the best things you can do for someone who is homeless is building relationships. One of the biggest reasons for people becoming homeless is relationship breakdowns, and conversely one of the big reasons for people coming out of homelessness is that they build lasting relationships," says Jack.
He is eager to find ways to facilitate the building of these relationships. "When you are homeless," Jack describes, "there's so much chaos in your life, so much change constantly. Thats why housing is so important in peoples' lives – to get some sort of permanence and then to look closer at all the other interactions. We changed our name from the soup run to the street outreach because that is what is important – letting people know that someone cares about them and how they are doing." One idea the committee had for building a community was to establish a regular day sports centre where homeless people could spend time, exercise, and shower, and hopefully build up some lasting relationships, as opposed to a soup run where that "can happen, but possibly isn't facilitated as much."
It all seems to come back to community and connectivity, something that we may be losing as a society, as a result of an increased atmosphere of competition and individualization. "One of the ladies who talked to us who was homeless said that the biggest things that got her out of homelessness was that she made a friend. That friend encouraged her that there was hope and that there would be some way out," recalls Jack. "If everyone could just take some time and start to ask anyone, or people, how they are and how they're getting on. If everyone cared just a little bit more… It might be a local man who sleeps outside your SuperValu or something, just build a friendship with them.
It might only be half an hour of your week but it could be huge for them. We are trying to find more ways to facilitate people doing that – thinking about this day centre idea." Members of VDP have also been regularly volunteering in hostels in order to build these relationships, and to build a sense of community. "Certainly in homelessness it's just one of these things that is key and crucial. In terms of successfully housing someone, and making sure that they don't become homeless again," Jack continues. "People need a reason to feel like they are at home, that this belongs to them. You can't just have someone in a house and expect them to be fine. You have to look after them and make sure that they are at home."
Members of the outgoing VDP executive are excited about the database, along with the other work completed by the Social Justice Committee. Kevin O'Leary, the outgoing Vice President of Fundraising, is enthusiastic about the direction that the project is going in: " I think it's very important. I also think, as a part of the Saint Vincent de Paul society, social justice is a core part of everything we do. If we are not running our own campaigns and programmes to actually fight for better social justice worldwide it kind of makes us hypocrites in our other society activities." Tom O'Malley, outgoing President of VDP said of the committee "They are so so great. They are going to do amazing work next year as well."

Yangon quickly became one of my favourite places. I spent days wandering around the streets, especially the tight grid of narrow alleyways that make up the downtown area. The city has such a mixture of cultures, with influences from all over south-east Asia, sub-continental India and China all very much in evidence. In the space of a couple blocks, you can find a Chinese pagoda, a mosque, a Hindu temple and a Baptist church. You can have dim sum for lunch and chicken biryani for dinner. Brand new hotels and office blocks sit opposite derelict colonial era buildings. The city is full of life and energy, but is also very welcoming. Everywhere I went, I met people who were friendly, interesting and curious.
I met the banjo playing gentleman below on my first morning in the city. I heard him before I saw him, the sound of his Chinese folk tunes carrying across the street. He was playing and singing to himself on his front porch, and I crouched down to take a few pictures. As I was taking my first few shots, his wife came out of the house, tapped me on the shoulder, handed me a plastic stool to sit on, and wordlessly went back inside. This was the first of a number of small kindnesses I experienced in Myanmar. I chatted to the banjo player for a little while; once he found out that I was British, he started playing Christmas songs and hits from the 60s.
Women – and to a lesser extent men – wearing thanaka, a paste made from ground bark, are a common sight throughout Myanmar.
Chewing betel – leaving blood red stains on the teeth – is a common habit in Myanmar. This man is preparing betel leaves and nuts for sale.


When you chemically treat your hair, it changes the actual structure or makeup of your strands. Chemically treating your hair actually weakens it, making your hair susceptible to breakage and dehydration. To help combat damage to your hair, the following is a list of five things you can do to help your overly processed or color treated hair.
1. Switch up your routine.
Because over processed hair tends to be dehydrated, it is not necessary to wash it every day. Using hot water and shampoo daily can strip your hair of important nutrients. If you wash your hair daily, you may want to switch it up—try for every other day or every three days. And don't forget to condition!
If your hair has been weakened by chemical treatments, you will need to make sure that your products are not worsening the damage. Many store-brand hair products contain alcohol, which will dry out your hair even more. Make sure you are using a nutrient-rich, moisturizing product, or a product designed specifically for repairing and protecting chemically treated hair like L'Oreal's Mega Moisture Nurturing Crème for Very Dry, Chemically Processed Hair.
Chemically treated, over processed hair often has dry, split ends. To help stop breakage and prevent further damage, visit your stylist regularly. She can advise you on how much you may need to trim, and also help keep your hair feeling healthy and strong.
Color treated or chemically straightened hair can be very fragile, especially when wet. You've heard it before, but avoid brushing your hair when it is wet; instead, use a leave-in conditioner and detangle your damp hair with a wide-toothed comb.
5. Wear a heat cap.
Every week, you should apply a deep conditioning hair treatment. The Conditioning Heat Cap works wonders on hair that has been color treated or over processed. The cap is designed to be a relaxing, soothing treatment that evenly conditions your hair in 20 minutes. The heat in the cap helps conditioners absorb better and will make your hair shiny, soft, and easy-to-manage.
If you have chemically treated, over processed, or color treated hair and are starting to see the damage these processes have caused, try these few tips. With a little time, and not much effort, your hair will be stronger, healthier, and in great condition.

Q: What drove the adoption of 64-bit instruction sets? In the 2000s 64-bit ISAs displace 32-bit architectures. Intel tried and failed to make IA-64 and AMD won with its x86-64. 64-bit was important.
Why did 64-bit ISA displace 32-bit ISAs? How were they lacking.
What "killer" application that drove their adoption?

A: To clarify IA64 was join project of Intel and HP. And it support full set of PA-RISC instructions.
Probably one of the main reason was disks, filesystems and big files. I do not say it is impossible 32bit processor to manage filesystems and files bigger than 4TB but this will involve good amount of additional operations to address so big space and files. There was examples (about the memory) in form of PAX extension, but as far as I know, only Oracle RDBMS can use it on x86 32bit.
Additionally Intel concentrate the manufacturing only in the server area so it appear discrepancy/incompatinility between 32bit desktops and 64bit servers. Also IA64 architecture is not compatible with x86.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/16/19): MLB DFS Lineups
6 months ago by Joel Bartilotta
We have a fascinating slate ahead of us, as it's actually one of the highest projected scoring days of the season. That means it's imperative to find value and I'll do my best to give you some cheap options.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 7/16/19. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports too.
If you have any questions or comments, contact me on Twitter @Bartilottajoel
We have rain projected in Philadelphia, Chicago, St.Louis, Colorado, New York, Cleveland and Baltimore, so be sure to check forecasts prior to submitting lineups. Wind doesn't seem to be an issue though, with no game projected to have winds higher than 10 MPH.
DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers
Jack Flaherty, STL vs. PIT ($7,400)
Flaherty has been a big disappointment recently but he's simply too good to be priced this cheaply. Dating back to last season, Flaherty is generating a 3.85 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, despite struggling recently. He's doing that while posting a K rate just shy of 30 percent and it's just a matter of time before his ERA lowers and his price rises. Facing Pittsburgh is not necessarily scary either, with the Pirates ranking 18th in both runs scored and xwOBA. In addition, we anticipate Flaherty entering this matchup as a –160 favorite.
Zach Plesac, CLE vs. DET ($7,000)
Man, it was tough to pick a second pitcher but Plesac is a great option if he toes the rubber for the Indians. He was actually sent down prior to the All-Star break because of a few bad outings but he's in a great spot to succeed here. Before sliding in his last three starts, Plesac actually pitched to a 2.33 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his first six starts. That sort of upside is huge against a lineup like this, with the Tigers ranked 29th in runs scored, OPS, K rate and wOBA. That's why Plesac will likely be a –180 favorite in this game.
DraftKings DFS Infielders
Josh Phegley - C, OAK vs. SEA ($3,300)
This is the first of many Oakland bats, as DraftKings has these dudes way too cheap. Phegley is simply one of the best bargains on the board, with the righty catcher posting a .290 AVG, .532 SLG and .835 OPS with the platoon advantage in his favor this season. That's monstrous from a catcher and as you're going to see later in the article, we want to get bats in there against Marco Gonzalez.
Joey Votto - 1B, CIN at CHC ($3,500)
This price is downright disrespectful. DK is pricing Votto like he's still in that terrible slump that killed his numbers early on but he's quietly one of the hottest hitters in the game. In fact, Votto is hitting .331 over his last 38 games while generating a .893 OPS in that span. That doesn't even take into consideration that he gets the platoon advantage in his favor against a guy who had an ERA just shy of 5.00 at the minors this season.
Jose Altuve - 2B, HOU at LAA ($4,000)
This is yet another price that I don't really understand, as Altuve has been raking over the last week. Over his last 10 games, Altuve is hitting .383 while posting a .992 OPS. What makes him intriguing here is that he gets the platoon advantage in his favor, with Altuve tallying a 1.264 OPS against lefties so far this season. All that would make one believe that Altuve's price is well above $5,000 with his absurd career numbers and we need to keep banking on him until this price inevitably rises.
Nolan Arenado - 3B, COL vs. SF ($5,100)
This is undoubtedly the easiest play on the board. Arenado has been absurd at home throughout his career and even better against lefties. In fact, the Rockies third baseman has a 1.209 OPS against lefties and a 1.068 OPS at home since the beginning of 2017. That means he absolutely destroys southpaws when they come to Coors Field and that's scary for a guy like Drew Pomeranz, who's pitching to a 6.42 ERA and 1.77 WHIP.
Marcus Semien - SS, OAK vs. SEA ($4,300)
If we like the A's, we have to love their leadoff hitter. What's impressive about Semien is the fact that he's taken his game to another level this season, as he's on track to set career highs in BA, OBP, SLG and OPS. That's obviously fantastic and his .842 OPS against lefties this season only adds to his value. Marco Gonzalez is a guy we definitely want to exploit too, with the Mariners lefty pitching to a 5.28 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over his last 10 starts.
DraftKings DFS Outfielders
Khris Davis, OAK vs. SEA ($3,400)
Let's cap off our Oakland stack with the best value on the board. We're talking about a guy who leads the league in homers since 2016 and that truly makes this price mind-boggling. While he's undoubtedly struggling, there's no doubt that this dude is still one of the best power hitters in the game, which is evident by an ISO approaching .300 in that span. All that makes him a lock at this price but facing a lefty is simply the icing on the cake.
Kyle Schwarber, CHC vs. CIN ($3,900)
Schwarber has been too good to be priced below $4,000 and we have to like him atop this lineup. The Cubs are projected for more than five runs here and it's really no surprise with DeSclafani's struggles against lefties. The Cincy righty is allowing lefty bats to post a .376 OBP, .591 SLG and .396 wOBA against him this season. That's particularly scary against a potent lefty like Schwarber, who's posting a .494 SLG and .830 OPS against righties since 2017.
Mallex Smith, SEA at OAK ($4,100)
Smith has been doing serious damage since being moved to the leadoff spot and he's always in consideration. Over his last 35 games, Smith is hitting .278 while collecting 24 runs, 17 extra-base hits and 11 steals in that span. That's all you can ask for, especially considering he gets to face a righty who's pitching to a 4.73 ERA and 1.43 WHIP this season.

Remote and Flexible Work Policy
Remote and Flexible Work Policy (PDF) at: https://www.wpi.edu/sites/default/files/2021/06/02/Remote-Flexible-Work-Policy.p...
**INTERIM POLICY**
I. Policy Statement
The purpose of this Policy is to establish standards and processes for remote and flexible work arrangements that meet WPI's operational needs and are consistent with the core principles set forth in this Policy.
WPI recognizes that offering remote and flexible work options has the potential to improve job satisfaction, enhance employee recruitment and retention, optimize building and space planning and achieve a more fulfilling work/life balance, while continuing to support WPI's vibrant and inclusive culture. WPI encourages employees and managers to explore the remote and flexible work options described in this Policy.
Employees and managers considering remote and flexible work arrangements should consult this Policy, WPI's Flexible & Remote Work Guidelines, and WPI's template FlexWork Agreement.
II. Scope
This Policy applies to all non-faculty WPI employees. This Policy does not apply to (1) faculty; (2) student workers; or (3) employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
III. Definitions
"Remote Work" means that all job functions are performed off-campus, typically at home, for a designated period of time (e.g., a partial or full workday).
"Flexible Work" means that an employee works on-campus or remotely with a non-traditional work schedule. Flexible Work arrangements may include, but are not limited to:
Flexible Hours. The employee works a set schedule that may deviate from "traditional" business hours.
Example for full-time exempt employees: working 10:00 AM-7:00 PM instead of 8:00 AM-5:00 PM.
Example for full-time hourly employees: working 10:00 AM-6:30 PM instead of 8:00 AM-4:30 PM.
Compressed Workweek. The employee's standard weekly hours are worked in fewer days.
Example for full-time exempt employees (40 hours/week): Working four ten-hour days.
Example for full-time hourly employees (37 ½ hours/week): Working three ten-hour days and one 7 ½ hour day.
In this Policy, "FlexWork" means any non-traditional work arrangement that includes any combination of Remote Work and/or Flexible Work.
Example: The employee works two days from home from 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM and three days on campus from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
IV. Policy
A. Core Principles
This Policy is based upon the following core principles:
FlexWork Should Promote Positive Work Experiences. In a contemporary workspace, employees view alternative work arrangements as a benefit that should promote a healthy work/life balance. FlexWork should also enhance WPI's ability to retain and recruit talent.
FlexWork is Not Suitable for Every Job. While many jobs may be amenable to FlexWork arrangements, certain jobs are primarily student- or customer-facing and may require in-person interactions to be most effective. Other jobs can only be performed on campus or during normal business hours.
FlexWork Supports and Should Not Diminish WPI's Vibrant and Inclusive Culture. WPI prides itself on the importance of in-person connections with students, colleagues, and the broader WPI community. Although FlexWork arrangements may be a different way of working, all employees will continue to contribute to a vibrant, in-person community.
FlexWork Depends on Training, Technology and Manager Support. Training, technology and manager support are key elements of successful FlexWork arrangements.
B. Determining if FlexWork is Appropriate
Employees and managers should consult WPI's Flexible & Remote Work Guidelines which contain detailed guidance for determining the suitability of FlexWork arrangements including:
Managers have broad discretion to decide whether and to what extent a FlexWork arrangement may be appropriate for an employee; and
FlexWork arrangements are contingent on the employee's satisfactory performance and demonstrated ability to work independently.
Certain positions do not lend themselves to FlexWork. The following conditions may make FlexWork unsuitable:
Being on campus is an integral part of performing the job.
The job is a student- or customer-facing position that requires the employee to be in-person to provide the best experience.
The employee has difficulty working independently and/or has performance issues that require in-person supervision.
Necessary equipment, materials, or files are only available on campus.
The employee lives in a state where WPI is not registered to do business or payroll and benefits systems are not set up for that state.
C. The FlexWork Agreement
All FlexWork arrangements must be documented, in writing, through a FlexWork Agreement, a template for which can be found [here], which must capture the specific agreement reached by the manager and employee. Managers must keep their Talent & Inclusion business partner apprised of their FlexWork discussions with their employees and provide their Talent & Inclusion business partner with a copy of all finalized FlexWork Agreements. An employee will be provided at least thirty (30) days' notice of termination of the FlexWork Agreement.
The FlexWork Agreement is kept on file within the department and in the employee's personnel file maintained by Talent & Inclusion.
Infrequent or episodic arrangements do not require a FlexWork Agreement but do require prior manager approval.
D. Compliance with WPI Policies
Employees with a FlexWork Agreement must comply with all applicable WPI rules, policies, and practices.
E. Equipment, Materials and Accommodations
In assessing whether FlexWork is appropriate, the manager must take into account whether, and to what extent, additional equipment and materials may be necessary to perform the job at a remote location. All purchases of Computer Systems1 must comply with the Computer Systems Purchasing Policy. The department is responsible for providing specific electronic and/or other equipment or assistive technology for employees with approved disability accommodations from Talent & Inclusion. FlexWork cannot be denied on the basis of an employee's approved disability accommodations.
Employees must agree that WPI's equipment and supplies provided by the department are for business purposes only and to notify their manager immediately of equipment malfunction to schedule repair or replacement. Any damage or theft of WPI equipment must immediately be reported to the manager. WPI-owned equipment used in the normal course of employment will be maintained and repaired by the department. When employees are authorized to use their own equipment, the department will not assume responsibility for costs of repairs, maintenance, or service. Return of Computer Systems must comply with the Computer Systems Purchasing Policy.
F. Liability and Insurance
WPI assumes no responsibility for injuries occurring in the employee's alternate work location outside the agreed-upon work hours, or for liability or damages to an employee's real or personal property resulting from their FlexWork Agreement.
Workers' compensation coverage is limited to designated work areas in employees' homes or alternate work locations and applies only during the employee's agreed-upon work hours. Employees agree to practice the same safety habits they would use if on-site at WPI and to maintain safe conditions in their alternate work locations. Employees must follow normal procedures for reporting illness or injury.

"Kamatis Tagalog" is a beautiful pearly pink beefsteak, with a flattened scalloped shape. Originating in the Philippines, this is a great variety to grow in the hot and humid southeast United States. The taste is boldly acidic more than sweet. It holds up well in cooking applications that benefit from a strong flavor.

Crawfish Etoufee cook-off underway in Eunice
The 34th Annual World Championship Crawfish Etoufee Cook-Off has wrapped up in Eunice.
The fun began yesterday with a dance. The event is hosted every year by the Eunice Chamber of Commerce and the City of Eunice.
Crawfish etouffee is judged in three categories: Amateur, Professional, and Club/Organizations. Festival-goers also vote, and there's an award for the best decorated booth.
Most vendors were out of etouffee by noon.
Over 50 Chef's made "their best" etouffee.
Alderman Nootsie Settler said, "Fresh tail meat. That's the secret to what you do. And how you win it. But it takes a lot of tender care. You got to stir it. You got to cook it. If you want it to be good, you have to take time."
Aimee Settler won last year with her Culinary Arts Class from ECTEC. Settler said, "It takes lot of love and lots of love. And butter, and garlic."
Other chefs believe its all genetics. Nickie Toups from Eunice Manor Nursing home said, "You have to have Louisiana seasoning, Louisiana Crawfish, And you have to be Cajun. Cajuns have the best recipes."
Although winning allows bragging rights for the best etouffee in town, Nootsie said, "This is everybody coming together.. in the city of Eunice. There are people from Canada that came here today. Many tourist…Just people coming together. Fellowship that's all its about."


I had this realization the other day. When I first had my baat pakki (a "pre-engagement" sorta thing) in the summer of 2011, a wedding in the autumn of 2013 felt like ages away! Even when my fiance officially put a ring on it (in a manner that was nothing short of a production, by the way, fireworks and all) a few months later in September 2011, the wedding was still a whole two years away! Now, it's May 2013, and it's finally starting to feel close!
And yes, while I'm really looking forward to the pretty dress(es) and the big part(ies), I think what I'm probably most excited about is actually being married; getting to live with my fiance, and doing the normal, boring mundane things together that we've never really been able to do because of our long distance relationship (previously downtown Toronto, and London, England; currently downtown Toronto, and Mississauga – yes I'm counting the latter!).

Title: 'She helps me to cope': An exploration of the experiences of women at the Sacro Women's Mentoring Service
Author(s): Tolland, Heather
Supervisor(s): Malloch, Dr Margaret
McIvor, Prof Gill
Graham, Dr Hannah
Keywords: mentoring; women in prison; women offenders; desistance; criminal justice; poverty; individualised approach; responsibilisation
Publisher: University of Stirling
Abstract: Mentoring has become increasingly popular in recent years in the criminal justice system, and has been recommended by the Scottish Government as a service that can address the specific 'needs' of women who offend. Despite the popularity of mentoring, there has been limited evidence to suggest that it reduces reoffending of women, or facilitates significant changes in their lives. In addition, there has been a lack of clarity around the definition of mentoring, including role definition, the extent of intensive support offered and the key aims of the service. This thesis (in collaboration with Sacro and the University of Stirling), explores the experiences of women who have accessed the Sacro Women's Mentoring Service and accounts from mentors and staff to establish what the key aims and processes of mentoring are, alongside a critique of whether this offers an approach that can address key issues related to the marginalisation of these women. Findings from the data revealed that mentoring consisted of practical support, helping women to respond to difficulties related to poverty and their disadvantaged circumstances generally. The most common outcomes for women were: engagement with agencies; increases in confidence and self-esteem and improvements in emotional well-being. The rhetoric of mentoring offered by mentors and staff suggested that mentoring was based on an individualistic approach that contained responsibilising strategies, aimed at helping women to make improved choices and become responsible citizens. In practice, however, mentors were helping women to resolve issues related to the welfare system and other services outwith the criminal justice system. Many mentors and staff viewed mentoring as role modelling, however, women who accessed the service were more likely to view their mentor as a friend and 'someone to talk to' suggesting that the relationship was not an opportunity for women to model the behaviours of their mentor, but as emotional support and a release from their social isolation. This disconnect was also reflected in 'imaginary penalities' which were observed, such as staff completing paperwork they did not view as relevant to the service they delivered or staff being sent on training that they could not apply to the work they delivered on a day to day basis. This may be a result of the increasing marketisation of mentoring within the criminal justice system. Those services labelled as 'mentoring' may be more likely to gain funding as it is a service that is currently favoured by statutory funders in Scotland. If positive outcomes of mentoring are viewed by policy makers to be the result of an individualistic approach, and not mentors addressing problems outwith the criminal justice system, as best as they can, then this takes responsibility away from the state to make changes to policy. It also places unrealistic expectations on mentors to make significant changes to the lives of women in an environment of continuing funding cuts to welfare and services.

Jameela Jamil shows off her 'elastic' skin to shine a light on Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
'The Good Place' actress's viral video shows how serious the rare condition is and how important it is to get a proper diagnosis.
@jameelajamil/TikTok
Jamil was diagnosed at 9 years old with the rare tissue disorder.
Jameela Jamil might be best known for acting roles on shows like "The Good Place" and "She-Hulk," but she has made a secondary name for herself as an outspoken advocate on social media. Though she touches on a wide range of civil rights issues, health is often a major theme.
Recently, Jamil used her platform to discuss her Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)—a group of inherited disorders that affects connective tissue, primarily the skin, joints and blood vessel walls. While very rare, EDS causes significant problems, especially for those without a proper diagnosis.
In a video posted to TikTok, Jamil is seen stretching out her cheeks while quipping, "Jesus Christ, that is not an app, that is not a filter, that is just my face. Look how elastic that is." This stretchiness, she explains, is a symptom of EDS.
Technically, Jamil has hEDS, which makes her hypermobile. Bending her elbow backwards, she noted that "nothing bends the right way."
Though she joked that "yes, that is very sexy, thanks for asking," her post was a genuine attempt to raise awareness on EDS's more severe effects. "It's a really serious condition and it impacts every single part of your body, and even your mind."
@jameelajamil
♬ original sound - Jameela Jamil
No kidding. Jamil listed that it causes major bleeding, bruising, clumsiness, joint swelling and dislocation, gut issues, fainting and migraines, and that it severely complicates wound healing, childbirth and dental work, and that those with EDS are predisposed to neurodivergence and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), which she said leads to "random allergies that just come and go for no reason."
Having received a diagnosis at the age of 9, Jamil was able to avoid things that could put her at a further risk. For example, she never pursued contact sports, doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs, and carries an EpiPen with her everywhere she goes.
But for others, going through life with undiagnosed EDS is, as she put it, "dangerous," especially as those with it might appear very healthy or to have symptoms related to other conditions.
In her caption, Jamil added that she hadn't talked much about her condition due to being made fun of for her other health issues, which made her "suicidal for a while." However, she wrote, "I'm done not talking to the people who MATTER about this hugely important subject because a bunch of people lucky to have good health, have no souls. Let's raise awareness on this subject together, and save some motherfucking lives!"
Clearly her candidness is doing just that. One person on Instagram shared, "I have hEDS too! And I got diagnosed because of something you posted a couple of years ago and it joined the dots on all of my various ailments. Thank you !! Without you mentioning it, I would have never fully understood myself."
Because it can affect the entire body, EDS is very hard to diagnose. But Jamil recommends going to a rheumatologist or geneticist. Though there is no cure, there are treatments available to manage symptoms and avoid further issues.

Spokane, Washington Est. May 19, 1883 35° Cloudy
Spokane County records highest jobless rate in 30 years with 15.9% in April
Tue., May 26, 2020
By Amy Edelen amye@spokesman.com(509) 459-5581
Spokane County's unemployment rate increased to a record-breaking 15.9% in April, surpassing the number of workers who lost jobs during the Great Recession, according to data released Tuesday from the Washington State Employment Security Department.
The county reported 40,619 out-of-work residents in April, which are the highest unemployment numbers since the state started tracking the data in 1990. In comparison, some 29,319 county residents were jobless in February 2010, which was the previous record unemployment rate at 12.1%, according to non-seasonally adjusted data from the department.
Half of the unemployed residents in the county in April were from four industries: health care, education, construction and manufacturing, said Doug Tweedy, regional economist for the state employment security department.
"All of these industries could rebound fairly quickly," said Tweedy, who explained that the county has a broader base of employers compared to the Great Recession, which hit retail trade, leisure, hospitality and construction industries particularly hard.
But it's uncertain just exactly how long it will take for the local job market to recover from the impact of COVID-19.
"The recovery was very long coming out of the recession," said Grant Forsyth, chief economist for Avista Corp. "This recession is very different, in part, because it really caused this strange simultaneous shutdown across the country."
A growing consensus among economists nationwide is that economic recovery is going to be "a bit longer than we originally had hoped" because of the depth of the recession and household conservatism brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, he said.
Once the statewide stay-at-home order is lifted, households may be cautious about returning to any venue – whether it's a university, sporting event, or restaurant, Forsyth said.
Businesses will be also examining how quickly they can hire employees and how many hours to provide workers, dependent upon consumer behavior, Forsyth added.
Forsyth anticipates the health care sector will be the first industry to recover in the county because there's still demand for workers.
"My sense is health care will come back. The conditions and rules may be different, but the demand is still there," he said. "I'm definitely a bit more worried about public and private education – especially universities – and leisure and hospitality in terms of how they will come back."
Universities may have challenges with how to run operations after the coronavirus pandemic. Parents might be more reluctant to send their kids back to school and those two factors could contribute to a slower rebound of education jobs, Forsyth said.
To understand the impact of more than 40,000 county residents losing their jobs, exactly a year ago, Spokane County had a 4.1% unemployment rate in April 2019.
As the local economy recovers, Tweedy said there is likely to be a long-term impact on how local businesses work, with a shift to teleworking and different staffing patterns.
"But also coming out of this, we'll have different kinds of opportunities," Tweedy said. "One we noticed last month was in IT. It was one of the only industries that actually gained jobs in April and that's kind of a trend for the future."

Amid Cries for Church Unity Post-Election, Some Christians Say 'Not So Fast'
NEW YORK (RNS) — Two days before Election Day 2020, Pastor Justin Adour of Redeemer East Harlem Church had a message he knew his congregation didn't want to hear. Though it "might make your stomach turn a little bit," he told both his socially distanced live listeners and viewers watching online, a "Democrat Christian" has more in common with conservative Christians — even "a staunch Trump-supporting Republican" — than with fellow Democrats who are not Christians.
"And vice versa," he added.
Adour's church, part of a network founded by popular Presbyterian Church in America pastor and theologian Tim Keller, is as diverse as its gentrifying neighborhood. Adour said his 100 to 150 members are Black, Asian, Hispanic, and White. And he knows he has supporters of both President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden sitting in his pews. Pastors in the American church are used to dealing with division.
"Our churches have always been segregated, because Christians — primarily white Christians — always held their whiteness in greater esteem than Christ," he told Religion News Service before Election Day. "There is a lot of unifying things about the gospel."
Christian leaders across the country have been sounding that theme in the aftermath of the election, as the president, and some of his allies have disputed the call made by the Associated Press and other major media outlets projecting that Biden would be the 46th president of the United States.
After an election year in which Trump hewed closely to a base thickly populated by evangelical Christians while enduring fierce opposition from a revived religious left, these pastors and other Christian leaders are urging followers of all political convictions to find common cause in their faith.
"A divided country needs a united church," tweeted Ed Stetzer, professor and dean at Wheaton College in suburban Chicago, where he is executive director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center.
Unlike some evangelical leaders who suggested in the runup to the election that Christians — especially White Christians — had no choice but to vote Republican, J.D. Greear, president of the Southern Baptist Convention and pastor of the Summit Church in Durham, North Carolina, said that Christians shouldn't neatly fit into either political party. Nor should they engage conversations about politics in the same way as others, Greear said in a podcast episode recorded the day after the election.
"The political discourse in our country trains us to assume the worst about everybody else's motives even as we demand that they assume the best about ours," he said. "I just think in the church we need to be better."
Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry claps at a revival at Harvest Assembly Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 6, 2019. (Adelle M. Banks/Religion News Service)
Bishop Michael Curry, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, told those gathered for an interfaith prayer service on Sunday (Nov. 1): "We must heal our country. I think some of that is the great work that is before us as a country, and certainly before the church and people of faith."
The service, livestreamed from Washington National Cathedral in the nation's capital and titled "Holding on to Hope: A National Service for Healing and Wholeness," started with confession, grief, and lament.
"You can't just jump to hope," Curry said. "There's a process you have to go through. There are no shortcuts to it."
The presiding bishop, in an interview with RNS, said healing won't come by of prayer alone, but by people getting to know each other across divides.
"You've got to pass laws. You've got to change the policy," Curry said. "But the truth is: Changed laws and changed policies don't change hearts, and until you change hearts, you don't change everything. You've got to take a holistic approach."
Jes Kast has been doing that work in her own little corner of central Pennsylvania, where she pastors Faith United Church of Christ in State College. Just after the 2016 election, Kast moved to State College from New York City, where she had lived for nearly a decade. She felt called to Faith, she said. She also felt called to move to a "purple state," where she hoped she could speak across divides.
Living in central Pennsylvania, the pastor has learned how to pickle and garden and why hunting is important to her rural neighbors. She has showed up on a farm wearing heels. It's important to her because the people are important to her. Her neighbors "are changing because they get to know me and I'm choosing to be vulnerable, and I'm changing because I understand, oh, this is what's going on with farmers in Pennsylvania. This is how gun conversation is nuanced differently for rural folks," she said.
But, Kast said, healing and unity are two different things.
After four years of a president elected by a minority that included his impeachment and massive demonstrations for racial justice — some of them outside a besieged White House — some Christian leaders find the idea of unity dubious.
"Miss me with the 'unity' and 'healing' platitudes," tweeted Austin Channing Brown, author of the bestselling book "I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness." She shared an image with the words, "Im wholly uninterested in a conversation about unity thats not rooted in the unrelenting pursuit of racial justice."
Writer and speaker Danté Stewart told RNS he isn't sure unity is possible. Stewart called the idea that this generation finally will be the one to solve white supremacy or redeem an America that he sees as committed to imperialism and oppression "historical arrogance." Stewart, who is Black, believes White Christians need to do the work of confronting their racism, and without that, unity is impossible.
But, that would take a "miracle," Stewart said, involving "everyday ordinary people committing to better policy, better practice, and being better people than what they've been in the past."
Curry, though, said he doesn't think it is naively optimistic to believe the church or the country has the ability to heal and move forward together. As the first Black presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church and a descendant of enslaved people, he said, "I'm a product of that tradition that has learned that there is progress and there are steps forward and then there's a pushback."
Still, he said, it's important to keep moving forward.
"I believe it is possible for us to be instruments of healing in this culture, and I refuse to give up," Curry said.
In East Harlem, Adour said what it will take is listening — and trying to help others listen, too.
"It's very easy to put someone in a box as soon as they start talking about an issue," he said. "So often we dishonor Christ by trusting politicians or ideologies to idolatrous degrees. Or we refuse to love brothers and sisters in Christ across these dividing lines, instead desiring to demonize them or marginalize them or ignore or patronize them."

Online casinos are big business these days. With more and more people signing up to casino sites every day to have fun, there is a suspicion that these people are being scammed by casinos that don't offer their customers any security when gambling online.
However, if that were true, online casinos wouldn't be able to stay in business. Instead, the industry is positively booming, with many players landing great wins around the world every day. You can play now at http://ca.32Red.com/ where there are over 500 different games available. Whether you choose to play for free in practice mode, or for real money, you're always guaranteed of one thing – plenty of pure entertainment.
But if you're worried about any rumours you might have heard about online casinos, let us debunk a few of the most popular myths that are doing the rounds.
Ask anyone if casino games are addictive, and they will probably say they are. And it's true that you do have to be self-disciplined when playing casino games, knowing when it's time to quit and when you should stop playing for real money. However, there's no reason that playing online should be any more addictive than playing in a land-based casino. You could argue that there are more restrictions on gamblers online than in a land-based casino as the online casinos do place a limit on the number and value of transactions that can take place.
There are various rumours about casinos refusing to honour payouts and that the payment and withdrawal of funds is not secure. But a legitimate online casino would not remain in operation if it could not guarantee to meet industry safety standards and abide by the industry rules.
There are always rumours that online casinos use different scams to swindle money out of their customers. One such example is that they offer lower winning odds. However, if this were the case, there would be millions of disappointed players out there who would vote with their feet and stop playing at online casinos.
The reason that some people think online payouts are smaller is probably because they can't believe the size of some of the jackpots, considering that you only need a really small stake to play the game. But every online casino game will clearly state the payouts – either in a payout table or in the rules section that the game comes with. Players can find out exactly what odds are on offer before they play.
If you're interested in playing casino games online, there's no need to worry about these kinds of myths that have built up around the online gambling industry. It's a closely regulated industry and the casinos want to do all they can to encourage more people not to play, and one way they can do that is to play fair.

A recent systematic review on the prevalence of Multimorbidity (MM) recommended a count of 3+ chronic diseases, with no focus on any single chronic disease in particular. This definition identifies a more vulnerable population with higher needs, lower income or poverty, poorer outcomes and challenging processes of care. It includes people with a wide array of complexity from the uncomplicated course of minimally interacting chronic diseases to the highly complex MM patients. MM is not only important due to the burden on patients, but because it accounts for high utilization. The definition represents a continuum of vulnerability in which there are many opportunities for prevention and management. Despite the high prevalence of MM, most research and health care is still based on a single disease paradigm which may not be appropriate as 45% of primary care patients have MM. A recent Cochrane systematic review on the impact of interventions for patients with MM has identified a paucity of studies internationally with mixed results, thus paving the way for the work of this Team. The most promising intervention, to date, was enhanced teamwork in a multifaceted intervention involving multiple professionals. Patient-Centred Partnerships between Patients and Providers: The definition of patient-centred partnerships is derived from Canadian policy reports: "collaboration between informed, respected patients and a healthcare team." There is an internationally accepted comprehensive operational definition with four components which will guide many aspects of the proposed research program: first, exploring the patients' diseases and the illness experience; second, understanding the whole person in context; third, finding common ground; and fourth, enhancing the patient-provider relationship. There is empirical evidence for the impact of patient centred partnerships on better patient outcomes and lower costs. Systematic reviews of interventions indicated promising results for feasible practice-based interventions targeting both providers and patients. Canadian policy reports defined this second facet of patient-centredness, as "seamless coordination and integration of care." Transitions requiring coordination are a key feature of care for patients with MM. Coordination has been shown to positively impact: symptom relief; social functioning; hospital re-admission and related costs. Papers reviewed by this Team identified the most promising type of intervention to be structured delivery system re-design. STUDY #2.1 Qualitative Evaluation of the Aligned Programs Purpose: The study will: assess how the aligned program performs; distinguish between components of the interventions; and identify contextual factors that may have influenced the content and effectiveness of the intervention. It will also examine the local barriers and facilitators as well as the transitions and coordination of care. Methods and design: The Team will conduct a qualitative evaluation of the aligned program to explain how various contexts influence observed effects [1] including the context of the health care systems in each province. A recent example of this research approach in Canada is Best et al, 2012 [2]. Data will be obtained from interviews and written documents. In-depth interviews will be conducted among the six categories of stakeholders. This will include: a) decision-makers (n = 10); b) providers (n = 10); c) family physicians and specialists (n = 10); d) a purposive sample of patients with multimorbidity (n = 10); e) family and informal caregivers (n=10); and f) referral providers (n = 10) [51]. Number of interviews are estimates and will be guided by the saturation of data [3]. Data collection: In-depth interviews, lasting 30 to 60 minutes will ensure complete and detailed participation. The data collection will be held during the second year of the transformed program. The interview guides will examine how the context variables influence the effects and the elements that could potentially inform the development of future interventions. All interviews will be audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Additionally, written documents will be collected (program team meeting summaries, a sample of 10 medical records or research records at each participating site, a checklist describing the fidelity of the intervention, all documents produced specifically for the intervention) to provide an in-depth understanding of the various contexts in which the interventions occurred. Data analysis: The data will be analyzed using an iterative and interpretative approach [4]. The data from all participants will be examined through both independent and team analysis occurring in a concurrent manner to build and develop on the emerging themes. A coding template will be developed and edited as new themes emerge while others are reclassified or discarded. The data management software NVivo 9.0 [QSR Int. USA] will be used to organize the coded data and identify exemplar quotes reflecting the central themes. All written documents will undergo a content analysis using NVivo 9.0. The final step of the analysis will be the triangulation of the synthesis of the themes from the stakeholder participants and the content analysis of the documents.[3-4] STUDY #2.2: Evaluation of effects of the Aligned Programs Setting: The same consenting participating sites as described in study 2.1. The methods presented below are for one setting and will be duplicated in the second setting. Patients are referred to receive the services of these programs by their providers. The intervention the investigators are testing here is the aligned programs. Patients referred to these programs are new patients and have never been exposed to the intervention. In addition to the main reason for referral to the program, the referral form will also include eligibility details for the evaluation, including diagnoses. Patient sample: Patients recruited for the study will be cognitively intact and literate and aged between 18 and 80 years of age. The upper limit of 80 years is to avoid recruiting patients at risk of being institutionalized or dependent during the follow-up. Patients will present at least three chronic conditions. Methods and Design: Patients agreeing to participate will complete questionnaires at baseline (T1) collecting the socio-demographic data and baseline measures, which will be used to document equivalence between groups (groups are defined below). Effectiveness of the aligned programs will be assessed using three strategies. To measure short-term effects (4 months), a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with a before/after arm will be used [5]. Eligible patients will be randomized after consent to receive either the intervention within a short period of time (Group A) or control (Group C); The before/after arm (Group B) will receive the intervention without being placed into the RCT, as their doctors have deemed them too fragile to risk randomization; Control participants (Group C) will receive a list of healthcare resources they may contact to assist with their care; questionnaires will be completed at baseline (T1), and 4 months post enrollment (Group C) or intervention (Group A & B) (T2) for all study participants. This will constitute the short-term measure of effectiveness of the intervention. To measure the mid-term effects, the study participants will complete the same questionnaire 16 months post-enrollment (Group C) or intervention (Group A & B) (T3). To measure mid-term (T3) and long-term effects (T4 after 2 years) on health services utilization and cost, study participants in Groups A and B will provide consent to give access to their health administrative (HA) data. A control Group D will be constituted using anonymized HA data. Patients will be matched for gender, age, region and three main diagnoses. The Team will build algorithms for matching every set of controls. Groups A and B together will be compared to this propensity matched control Group D using administrative (HA) data. Variables and outcome measures: The variables fall into 5 categories: sociodemographic; PC context; main covariables of interest; primary outcomes; secondary outcomes. Sociodemographic characteristics include gender, age, education, family income, marital status, occupation, housing and number of persons living under the same roof. Context variables refer to type of PC organization in which the intervention occurs (solo or group practices, Family Health Team, Community Health Centre). The three main covariables of interest are the Team's three innovations: self-reported multimorbidity (measured by the Disease Burden Morbidity Assessment [6]; patient-centred partnership (Patient Perception of Patient-Centredness Scale [7-9]); and Patient centered coordination (the Patient Perceptions of Transitions in care, adapted by the investigators from Coleman [10]). The two primary outcome measures are the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (HeiQ) that provides a broad profile of the potential impacts of patient education interventions [11] and the level of perceived disease-management self-efficacy using the 6-item Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease (SEM-CD) [12]. Secondary patient perceived outcomes will be the VR-12 as a measure of health status and the EQ5D as a measure of Quality of Life [13]. The Kessler psychological distress scale K-6 will measure psychological distress [14]. The investigators will also use a questionnaire on health behaviors [15]. Finally, HA data will also be used as secondary outcomes to compare health care utilization and cost before and after the intervention. HA data will include emergency department visits, avoidable hospital admissions, readmissions, time to first primary care visit after emergency department visit and continuity of care. Data analysis: The investigators will first describe participants' baseline characteristics in each group and compare among groups. To evaluate short-term effect, Groups A and C will be compared on T2 scores with an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted for T1 scores [16]. To document mid-term effects, a before/after analysis of variance will be used to study the evolution of continuous variables collected 3 times [17]. Sub-analyses by gender will be performed. Health system costs in intervention and control groups will be evaluated by using amounts paid to providers based on provincial fee schedules and cost-weighted utilization of institutions including hospitals and long-term care. Utilization records obtained from HA data will be multiplied by applicable cost weights (e.g. CIHI Resource Intensity Weights - RIWs) and using CIHI costs per weighted case [18] The methods employed will model the individual patient-level costs incurred in the health system, using methods developed for costing using administrative data[19]. Incremental resources in the intervention group will be identified and costed using applicable time/resource inputs and relevant wage rates following guidelines for economic evaluation in health interventions [20].

Cornwall and Devon Great Wheal Vor (Hardback)
Great Wheal Vor (Hardback)
Tony Bennett, HARDBack, Large Format , 600pp
The definitive history, long awaited, of Great Wheal Vor. This was Cornwall's greatest tin producer at one time, renowned way beyond the county and yet it is relatively unknown today. Wheal Vor was so productive that it justified the smelting its own tin. The book runs to 600 pages and is written by Tony Bennett, who has great knowledge and experience of Cornish Mining, not least through his involvement in the Rosevale Mine at Zennor. It contains a detailed history of the mine, including a prolonged court case which may have inspired Charles Dickens, as well as information on the way the mine was worked, its geology and what remains on the ground. Sir Tim Smit of the Eden Project has contributed an Introduction.
