CHT Focus on Care Awards 2019
Each year the CHT Focus on Care Awards celebrate the very best in quality care, innovation and staff excellence. The 2019 Award are no exception, with inspiring winners standing out as worthy recipients who had clearly put considerable effort into their entries.
Registered Staff Award
Ana Figuerres, Registered Nurse at CHT Glynavon investigated the reasons for weight loss and reduced interaction amongst Alzheimer's dementia residents. After determining the role sleeplessness played in energy levels, interest in food and interaction with others, a simple programme was introduced which led to improvements in food intake and time with others.
Non-Registered Staff Award
A non-clinical perspective on caring for our residents and providing excellent customer service, was the winning formula for this Award, submitted by Sylvia van Dyke, Receptionist at CHT. The judges were impressed by the level of research about dementia that underpinned the entry and for identifying the pivotal role a receptionist plays in our facilities.
Unit Award
This year's winner, CHT Te Awamutu, put considerable effort into building a relationship with their local school and over five visits to the facility the children were encouraged to build intergenerational relationships, reinforcing the commitment to connection for our residents with their communities. From sharing morning tea, to games and activities, to the children interviewing and writing the life stories of residents, the programme was a collaborative approach that brought to life meaningful connections.
Manager of the Year – Runner Up
With impressive tenacity, courage and dedication, Unit Manager Jenny Vollmer has steered her facility through many changes and challenges and enhanced the culture at CHT St Johns since relocating to New Zealand from the UK in 2006.
Wynonna Faustino, Unit Manager at CHT Peacehaven, has performed very well against KPIs and leads a passionate team using her strong relationship, organisation and resident-focused skills – all outstanding qualities for a top manager. Having worked her way up through the ranks as a Registered Nurse and Clinical Co-Ordinator, Wynonna sets a wonderful example of how hard work can pay off with a rewarding career in Aged Care.
CHT Healthcare Trust celebrates International Nurses Day
Each year, on 12 May, International Nurses Day is an opportunity to recognise and thank our nurses for their passion, dedication and the great care they take of our older people in CHT facilities.
We'd like to introduce you to just a handful of our nurses, originating from all around the world, and contributing their wonderful skills to helping our residents and their families.
Sharmila Deveraj – Area Manager, Quality and Privacy Manager
Currently studying for a Masters in Nursing, raising a young family and in a busy role as Area Manager, Sharmila originally wanted to become a doctor as a young woman in India, but ventured into nursing. Providing direct care is a passion of Sharmila's and her experience in emergency care is another special skill.
Her first role as a registered nurse at CHT St Johns in 2010 was swiftly followed by a charge nurse role at CHT Royal Oak, then a promotion to Unit Manager where she introduced a number of award-winning quality care initiatives.
Now in her Area Manager role, Sharmila loves getting out and about to visit Units, teaching and inspiring others to always strive for delivery of the best care possible.
Janice Reuyan – ICT Trainer
A passionate life-long learner and natural teacher, Janice has a very important job that connects her to our nursing staff through all our regions, at different levels, as CHT ICT Trainer.
Growing up with her grandparents in the Philippines holds special memories for Janice, especially taking care of her grandfather when he was ill, which is one of the reasons that motivated Janice to train as a nurse. With a background in aged care nursing giving her a strong understanding of the everyday tasks of nurses, Janice helps bridge the gap between hands-on nursing and the IT / software needed to correctly manage resident care.
In particular Janice loves the independence of her role and helping to problem-solve and upskill staff.
Marilyn Menezes – Unit Manager, CHT Onewa
Our youngest Unit Manager is seizing the day, as she masters her new role at CHT Onewa.
Growing up without grandparents of her own, Marilyn has a natural affection for older people and loves the chance to hear their stories and special memories, while also caring for their families.
The opportunity to put her hand up for new roles and challenges, and the support she received to reach her goals, is something Marilyn is very grateful to CHT for.
After training in Mumbai and spending many years as a nurse and Clinical Co-ordinator, Marilyn is passionate about
making sure our residents feel connected to their community and receive the best possible care.
Marilyn says she feels privileged to care for people at the end of their life and enjoys making a good impression on residents and families.
Stella Ma – Unit Manager, CHT Hillcrest
Since joining CHT, Stella has made a positive impact with countless staff members, residents and family members.
Originally based at CHT St Christophers for 10 years in a number of roles – from grad nurse to charge nurse, Clinical Co-ordinator and Unit Manager – Stella has recently taken the helm at CHT Hillcrest as Unit Manager.
Throughout Stella's career she has enjoyed the extra training and talent progression at CHT and now finds herself seeking out opportunities for her own staff.
As a youngster Stella spent a large amount of time with her grandmother, giving her a real affinity with older people, an appetite to always learn something new and find joy in helping others.
Albert Principio – Clinical Co-ordinator, CHT Lansdowne
As Clinical Co-ordinator at CHT Lansdowne, Albert's job keeps him busy and active – just how he likes to be!
After training at MIT seven years ago, Albert started out as a nurse in a rest home setting and found himself enjoying the chance to care for older people. Influencing others and having a wide impact through training is very rewarding for Albert, especially when he sees new nurses grow in confidence and capability.
In Albert's view, the rewards of a career in nursing outweigh the challenges and it looks like helping others runs in his family – Albert's brother is also a nurse.
CHT Healthcare Trust celebrates outstanding achievements
The annual Focus On Care Awards took place recently, where individuals and Units were recognised for their achievements throughout the year. In a special ceremony attended by the Board and Senior Management, four key award categories saw winners from across the group receive framed certificates and a warm congratulations for their exceptional work.

CHT shares special stories in celebration of International Nurses Day
International Nurses Day, celebrated around the world each year on 12th May (Florence Nightingale's birthday), raises awareness and recognition of the enormous contribution that nurses make to our communities.
For many families the end of a loved one's life is an especially meaningful time when encounters with nurses leave indelible memories. We are very proud of the dedication, care and compassion of all our staff, in particular our nurses, in providing comfort and support to all our residents and their families.
Nursing in residential aged care can be both uniquely challenging and rewarding, with countless tales to be told. To celebrate International Nurses Day we are sharing the stories of just a handful of our many nurses – each with their own experiences and perspectives.
Megan Thorne, Unit Manager, CHT Acacia Park Home & Hospital
Taking on a Bachelor of Nursing degree at the age of 37 with her youngest child being 18 months old was a juggling act for Megan, but after her first couple of shifts as a caregiver it signalled a turning point in her life, and she is enjoying a rewarding career in nursing.
Starting out as a caregiver at Acacia Park 17 years ago, Megan has worked her way up as a Clinical Leader, Clinical Co-ordinator and now Unit Manager. She has also turned her hand to jobs as a kitchen hand, cook, cleaner and in the laundry – almost every role available.
Megan is also a volunteer Medical First Responder with Fire and Emergency New Zealand, a position that she is also very passionate about as it allows her to use her skills as a nurse and help those in need, finding it as rewarding as working with the elderly.
Megan attributes her love of nursing to having the empathy and drive to really give it her all plus having inspiring role models who encouraged her to follow her passion.
Asena Wainiqolo, Senior Nurse, CHT St Johns Hospital
Growing up in Fiji, Asena was introduced to nursing at a very young age as she tagged along with her older sisters, both nurses, on hospital visits and even delivering babies in the outer islands.
After initial roles in theater and psychiatric nursing, Asena took a job at CHT St Johns Hospital and has been a steadfast member of staff for the past 17 years. As a resource nurse for last days of life, Asena feels a strong sense of privilege to be part of the end of their journey and truly believes that little things make a big difference for the residents she cares for.
Jeanette Coyle, Senior Nurse, CHT St Margarets Hospital
Literally part of the furniture, Jeanette began working at St Margarets 29 years ago after popping in to see if there were any jobs available and starting just two weeks later. Jeanette has worked in aged care for her entire career since training at age 16, firstly in Tauranga and then in Auckland including working night shifts in a rest home while raising her children.
Her favourite aspects of working in nursing include the opportunity to care for residents and their families and making life-long friends through nursing. Coming to work in a supportive, beautiful environment also makes it rewarding for Jeanette.
With a daughter now also in nursing, Jeanette says it takes a special person to work in aged care – you need to be a caring, compassionate and patient.
Jenny Vollmer, Unit Manager, CHT St Johns Hospital
As CHT's longest service Unit Manager – 11 years and counting – Jenny reminisces about her early years as a young nurse in her native South Africa (a profession suggested to her by her mother, also a nurse) and her passion for working in aged care.
Starting off in general and surgical nursing, Jenny moved into frail care and specialised in geriatric care including nine years working in the UK. An opportunity to emigrate to New Zealand with her family to take up a CHT Unit Manager role gave Jenny a wonderful opportunity for a new challenge and now she even cheers for the All Blacks!
Social connection, learning about a person's history and culture and getting to know the whole family are aspects of nursing that are very special to Jenny.

LATEST CHAINS
Finucane family to seek Joe Biden's support for public inquiry campaign
Joe Biden (PA Wire)
By The Newsroom

CBAD8A00-D2B9-4E0E-ADDF-D0366C357A34 Created with sketchtool. E9A4AA46-7DC3-48B8-9CE2-D75274FB8967 Created with sketchtool. 65CCAE04-4748-4D0F-8696-A91D8EB3E7DC Created with sketchtool.
The family of Pat Finucane are to seek the support of President-Elect Joe Biden for their ongoing campaign for a public inquiry into his murder.
Mr Finucane's widow and three children were left furious on Monday after the Government said no to an immediate inquiry.
Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said he was not taking a public inquiry off the table but said further examinations of the case by police and a police watchdog should conclude first.
Mr Finucane, 39, who represented republican and loyalist paramilitaries during the conflict, was shot dead in his family home in north Belfast in February 1989 by the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) in an attack found to have involved collusion with the state.

The Irish Government and 24 members of US congress were among those urging the UK Government to order an inquiry ahead of Monday's announcement.
Mr Finucane's son John, a solicitor and Sinn Fein MP for north Belfast, said Mr Biden had previously voiced support for his family's campaign.
"When he was then Senator Biden as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he supported our calls for an inquiry," he told the BBC.
"I appreciate he's going to be in arguably the busiest role on the planet, so we aren't we aren't blind to that, but President-Elect Biden has already shown a clear interest in Irish affairs, he has history in supporting our campaign.
"We will be seeking his fresh support on this matter and I think that we can enjoy a degree of confidence that given the bipartisan way in which we have received support from America this is something that may well enjoy his future support."
Mr Finucane added: "As my mum said very well yesterday: our campaign will continue."

Explaining why the Government had decided against a public inquiry at this stage, Mr Lewis told Parliament outstanding issues before the Police Ombudsman's office concerning original police investigations should be addressed first.
He said there could also be a review of the case by police officers at the start of next year, potentially carried out by a force from outside Northern Ireland.
Following Monday's announcement, the chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), Simon Byrne, made clear there were no new lines of inquiry in the case.
Mr Finucane's widow Geraldine and the couple's three children have been campaigning for decades for a public inquiry to establish the extent of security force involvement.
Last year, the Supreme Court said all previous examinations of the death had not been compliant with human rights standards.
The Supreme Court acknowledged Mrs Finucane had been given an "unequivocal undertaking" by the Government following the 2001 Weston Park agreement with the Irish Government that there would be a public inquiry into the murder.
However, the judges found that the Government had been justified in later deciding against holding one.
The court said it was up to the Government to decide what form of investigation was now required, if one was feasible.
Amid an almost two-year Government delay in responding to the judgment, Mrs Finucane took fresh judicial review proceedings against the state.
Monday's announcement by Mr Lewis represented the Government's formal response to the Supreme Court's ruling.

Where will the "Happiest Place on Earth" be this week? No, not Disneyland, although it is also in Orange County. It will be in Newport Beach, as the annual wackiness known as Irrelevant Week takes place at multiple venues.
"Doing something nice for no good reason" is the motivation that Paul Salata used for inspiration back in 1976 when he decided to honor the dead last player taken in the NFL Draft. He created the "Lowsman Trophy" as the award, which features a bronze rendition of a player fumbling a football.
The player and his family are flown to Newport Beach, taken out on the bay, then to Disneyland and feted at a banquet. Numerous local businesses and sports franchises donate a glittering array of presents for the honoree. It wasn't until I moved to Newport Beach in the late 80s that I had any idea why Paul Salata would be at the NFL Draft in New York each year announcing the final pick. He asked me to be a presenter/roaster in 1989 and it has been a highlight of mine ever since.
Salata is a civic treasure with a hilariously satirical bent, and his daughter Melanie Salata Fitch inherited the same zany sense of humor and passion for doing good. I caught up with Melanie last week, in the midst of frenetic preparations and asked her for some of her favorite moments.
"In 1997 we delivered Ronnie McAda, who went to the military academy on a rocket launcher," she recalled. "When we brought Ramzee Robinson to the 2007 banquet on the Dunes whale it might have been better."
She was also in charge of finding accommodations for the honoree Tevita Ofahengaue from Utah in 2001, who brought along 63 family members.
"We changed the family rule shortly after," she said.
In the early days of Irrelevant week the draft was 17 rounds, and then reduced to 12, so being selected last in the draft made making an NFL roster a distant dream.
In the first 13 years only two players made the roster – quarterback Bill Kenney made the Chiefs in 1978 and eventually started and made the Pro Bowl. The late John Tuggle, a fullback, was a reliable player for the New York Giants.
The draft has now been reduced to seven rounds. Because of salary cap constraints, teams that have star players commanding large cap-eating contracts need to be backed up by younger, lower paid players. Teams need all their draft picks to make the roster to allow them cap flexibility.
In the last 13 years, eight of the Mr. Irrelevant players have actually made rosters or practice squads. In 2009. Ryan Succop, placekicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, not only won the job but finished his rookie season tying an NFL record for highest field-goal percentage by a rookie in a season with 86%.
This year's honoree is Chandler Harnish, a quarterback from Northern Illinois University. The Indianapolis Colts used the first pick in the first round to select Stanford QB Andrew Luck, who is expected to start this season. They came back again and added Chandler in the seventh round.
Remember that the route that quarterbacks like Brett Favre, Mark Brunell and Matt Hasselbeck took to get a starting position was very similar. They were stuck behind franchise-type quarterbacks, but looked so promising in practice and limited service that other teams traded for them to start.
Tuesday night, unsuspecting Chandler will be roasted/toasted at the Irrelevant Week banquet. When Paul Salata and the roasters are "on" it is one the funniest, irreverent evening imaginable.
Salata is politically incorrect and out of control.
Former coach Stan Morrison delivers a rollicking speech every year in pidgin Spanish. Matt Willig shows the player what he has to look forward to. There are football legends and coaches galore. I have never represented the final player picked in the draft.
My client, San Diego Charger placekicker Rolf Benirschke was picked last by the Oakland Raiders in 1977 and for some strange technicality, the Vikings pick attended Irrelevant Week.
For the last 23 years I have been the official Irrelevant Week agent assigned to represent the player. Since I have represented the first player picked in the first round in eight separate drafts I have the task to negotiate a contract for the evening's festivities. It always has the largest signing bonus, because in Irrelevant World, the last shall be first. And it is chocked with incentive clauses such as "Player shall not be required to practice on any day that ends in the letter 'Y.' I emphasize that the contract is worth the paper it is printed on.
Goodwill Services is the designated cause of the week for charity. They do outstanding work in the field of rehabilitation. Money is raised for this incredible cause throughout the evening.
The cocktail hour starts at 6 p.m. and the banquet at 7, Tuesday at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel. So if you want a night of laughs and warmth make sure to get your tickets, it always sells out.
Monday night is the Arrival Party at the Newport Dunes, starting at 5 p.m.
Call Mel at (949) 263-0727 or contact them at Irrelevantweek@gmail.com for tickets and more information.


Do you want a dress that's fabulous for a variety of body types? This yoke dress fashion look works great for slender bodies to even being worn as a prenatal dress.
My 3½-year-old niece, Zoey, said, "Can you borrow me one of those please?" when she saw me in this dress for the first time. She's such a sweetheart, and it's so cute that's she already notices fashion and will compliment me on my outfits.
This is a fun outfit to wear for many occasions. It works for spring and summer with some white accents, or it can be worn in the fall or winter with different shoes or items.
White heeled open-toe booties, heeled sandals, or flat sandals are a great way to make this dress work for spring or summer. These white heeled open-toe booties are fairly comfortable and oh so cute. They are last season, but I'm linking this season's version down below! I'm loving the white paired with the black dress.
The lace neckline is so pretty on this dress, and I really like the cut of the sleeves. Yoke dresses are great because you get to experience the mixture of loose and fitted in one dress. This dress has a tighter fit on the neckline and sleeves (still not super tight) while being looser otherwise. This dress is not a prenatal dress, but it would work with a bump (Probably a small to medium-sized bump and possibly even a larger bump.).
This handbag is a classic statement handbag. It especially works great with solid colors like this black dress. The flowers with the pearls in the middle are really pretty. It's definitely a statement handbag that can be used for years.
Do you have a favorite from this yoke dress fashion look? What kind of outfit, fashion item, or fashion topic would you like me to do a post on?

Q: Checking if contact has an email address without a second query I am very new android developer and i'm trying to fill a autocompletetextview with contact display names, and when a suggestion is clicked i want it to autofill the email field from that contact. I managed to get it working, but my problem is speed. Because I need to get the email address of all contacts, I need to do a query for every single contact, which takes a very long time when I have about 3000 contacts on the device i'm testing on. The thing is, most of the contacts don't even have an email address, but I still need to do a query to discover that. I am getting the contacts via an async task. Here is the
doInBackground of the AsyncTask:
    protected Object[] doInBackground(ContentResolver...cr) {

    try{
        List<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
        Map<Integer, String> emails = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
        Map <Integer, List<String>> contacts = new HashMap<Integer, List<String>>();
        /*********** Reading Contacts Name **********/

        //Query to get contact name

        Cursor cur = cr[0]
                .query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
                        null,
                        null,
                        null,
                        null);
        // If data data found in contacts
        if (cur.getCount() > 0) {

            Log.i("AutocompleteContacts", "Reading   contacts........");

            String name = "";
            String id = "";

            while (cur.moveToNext())
            {
                name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
                id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
                String email = "";
                if(name != null)
                {
                    names.add(name.toString());
                }
                Cursor cur1 = cr[0].query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[]{id}, null);
                if(cur1.getCount()>0)
                {
                    while(cur1.moveToNext())
                    {
                        email = cur1.getString(cur1.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
                        if(email != null)
                        {
                            emails.put(Integer.parseInt(id), email);
                        }
                    }
                }
                cur1.close();
                List<String> line = new ArrayList<String>();
                line.add(name);
                line.add(email);
                contacts.put(Integer.parseInt(id), line);
            }  // End while loop

            } // End Cursor value check
        else
        {
            Log.i("contacts", "No contacts found");
        }
        cur.close();

        results[0] = names;
        results[1] = contacts;
        results[2] = emails;
    } catch (NullPointerException e) {
        Log.i("AutocompleteContacts","Exception : "+ e);
    }
    return results;
}

Basically my question is: Is there a way to check if the contact has an email without another query like HAS_EMAIL_ADDRESS column or something.
If you want to view the full source of my app: https://github.com/michael-elgavi/perlib

A: After thinking for a while a realized I only need the email of the contact that you click on, so I just removed the email code from the asynctask and made another asynctask that loads an email of a specific contact. Then I get the email of the contact that was clicked and fill the email field. Code can be found in the repository I linked to in the question.


Who is responsible for protecting our essential values in an age of information? Professor Allen argues that individuals, corporations, and governments each have distinct ethical obligations to constrain big data practices in the public interest. In the Sidley Austin Distinguished Lecture on Big Data Law and Policy, Professor Allen will explore the moral and legal agendas that can guide society to a future that is not just smart, but also ethical. Expert Commenter Professor Bart van der Sloot, Tilburg University, Netherlands, will comment on Professor Allen's lecture and share his own, innovative theory on how privacy also requires protection against information about oneself.
This event will begin at 3:30 PM at the Barrister Club, located at 55 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43201 (above Panera). Advance registrants are invited to join a public reception for Professors Allen and van der Sloot at the Barrister Club following the event.
With generous support from the law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, the Moritz College of Law offers this distinguished lecture annually. This year's lecture is made possible with additional support from the Center for Ethics and Human Values. We invite you to join us and be a part of the conversation.


So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil. Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labor and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. Let no evil talk comes out of your mouths, but only what it useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Holy Week is a strange time in the life of the church. While Christians are gearing up for the joy of Easter morning, pastors like me try to slow everything down so that we can take stock of everything that happened the final week before jumping to the empty tomb.
Some churches embody this patience with dramatic performances. They'll get actors to play all of the characters including Roman centurions guarding the tomb. And some are crazy enough to even bring a donkey into the sanctuary as a way of remembering Jesus' triumphal entry in Jerusalem.
Other churches will slow down the week with special music and scriptures. Every night there will be time for reflection and prayer as a choir leads the gathered people through a few songs, and specific individuals will read the stories aloud from Jesus' final week.
I got the great idea years ago to preach the entirety of Holy Week in a 15-minute sermon.
This meant that I committed the important details between Palm Sunday and Good Friday to memory as I attempted to guide the congregation through a time of encounter and contemplation. I was as passionate as possible, marching up and down the center aisle frantically waving a palm branch like the crowds who gathered outside of Jerusalem. I set up tables by the altar only to flip them over with as much force as possible to frighten the congregation just like Jesus did at the temple. And even at the end, I got out a hammer and knocked on the pulpit to really bring home Jesus' crucifixion on the cross.
So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. Be angry but do not sin.
There is little truth in advertising. In fact, most of advertising is built on selling us a lie. If you buy this car you will finally find the fulfillment you've been looking for. If you go on this vacation, your children will actually love you and respect you. If you take this pill you will shed the extra weight you've been carrying around.
But Paul, Paul is a terrible advertiser for the church. While we are quick to make sure people know we have open hearts, open minds, and open doors, Paul tells the truth. The church in Ephesus is filled with all sorts of bitterness, wrath, anger, slander, and malice. So much so that Paul has to tell them to get rid of it all!
Paul doesn't mince words. The church of Ephesus is messed up. They've got tons of problems with no easy solutions. They've got to drop a lot before they can pick up their crosses. The Ephesians would have to give up themselves, their need to always be right, their need to feel superior, their grudges and bitterness. They'd have to sacrifice it all if they wanted to be God's church.
They'd have to start looking like us! Because we're perfect aren't we? From where I stand I see a room of beautiful people, filled with nothing but love and joy and hope. I see people with perfect families, and overflowing bank accounts. I see people without fear and loss. I see perfection!
Let us at least admit that we are far from perfect here. We, like the Ephesians, are filled with bitterness, wrath, anger, slander, and malice. They might not bubble to the surface often, or even in church, but deep down we know its there. We know the people we've maligned, we know the bitterness we feel toward other, we know the wrath that can show up when we least want it to.
But the anger, what are we do to about the anger? Paul, in this passage alone, tells the Ephesians to be angry, and then later to put away their anger. But anger isn't always, or necessarily, a bad thing.
Jesus was angry all the time in the gospels. As fully God and fully human Jesus could not not be angry. When he encountered the Pharisees looking on those at the margins of life, Jesus got angry. When he saw what was happening inside the temple of Jerusalem, Jesus got angry. When Peter raised a sword in the garden, Jesus got angry.
And whereas other might caution us against adding fuel to the fire of others' anger, Jesus' anger is a lens into the divine desire for a different reality.
Paul cautions the people of Ephesus to avoid conflict, which is a difficult thing for any group of people attempting to live and work together. But he also knows that conflict is at the very heart of who we are. And, in particular, when we are bold enough to speak the truth.
Because the truth, the hard and unavoidable truth, is that we've got plenty to be angry about.
We're angry that it's been a year since the white supremacists marched in Charlottesville, VA and it feels like nothing has really changed. We're angry that people in our community don't have food to eat, or clothes to wear, or beds to sleep in. We're angry that people are treated as less than whole because of the color of their skin, or their religious beliefs, or their sexual orientation, or their country of origin.
And we should be angry!
Being angry isn't a problem; it's what we do with it that is.
We can be angry about what happened in Charlottesville, but the people marching and chanting about death to Jews and death to blacks are angry too. They've let their anger manifest itself in the violence and degradations of entire populations.
We can be angry about those who are suffering in our community, but there are people who are angry at those who are suffering for no reason other than the fact that they are suffering! They've let their anger manifest in selfish ways that belittle people for choices made on their behalf by communities who abandoned them.
We can be angry at all the people who are xenophobic, and sexist, and racist, and homophobic, but those people are angry too. They just let their anger out in horrific ways against people without caring about who they really are.
The line between anger and wrath is slim and mysterious. There is good anger that propels us closer to the divine will, anger that gives us the courage to speak out against injustice in our midst, and anger that provides the strength necessary to imagine a different way of being.
But there is also anger that propels us closer to violence, anger that encourages us to see the other as other instead of as brother, and anger that justifies a hatred and violent way of being.
There's a hymn that's been around since the sixties and is filled with all of the cliché charm made possible by a Christian people in the sixties. It's called They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love. And for as much as the hymn paints this hopeful image of the church, a church where people walk hand in hand, and work side by side, it's a far cry from what the church actually looks like.
The hymn sounds a lot like the terrible advertisements we see that promise us an impossible world.
And I really wonder how many people outside the church know Christians like us for our love… Because, sometimes, we Christians appear to be the most negative, hostile, and unloving people around. There are times where Christians like us relish in any opportunity to stir up and perpetuate conflicts rather than resolve them.
I think, if we asked people outside the church, what they know us for isn't our love, but for our anger.
So then, who in the world would want to join us? Who in their right mind wakes up on a Sunday morning and says, "Gee, you know what, I think I'm going to join those angry Christians at Cokesbury. Maybe that's just what I need"?
Why do you keep coming here?
We are an angry people, we Christians, and that's okay. We worship a Messiah who spent most of his earthly ministry being angry. But our anger, like Christ's, should not send us into despair or violence. Our anger, like Jesus', sends us to an even stranger place: telling the truth.
And while Paul might call upon us to tell the truth to our neighbors, no doubt a worthy venture, maybe we should start a little closer to home. Perhaps the person who needs to hear the truth is… me and you.
It is so easy to hear this text from Ephesians, and imagine the other people in our lives that it seems to describe. We can immediately conjure up someone in our minds who is too bitter, too wrathful, and too angry. But the text is also about us. It's definitely about us. There is no one for whom these words to not represent a profound challenge and a holy opportunity.
The time has come for the truth, for us to take a good hard look in the mirror and accept who we are. We can even be angry about it if we so choose. But then the anger, that raw energy, can be focused into better places, while Jesus starts working on us from the inside out.
You see, that's why people keep coming to church even when they know it's filled with angry people. It's because they're angry too, and on some level they know that the hymns we sing, the prayers we pray, they are like seeds within us sprouting into new life. They know, whether they can articulate it or not, that the church is the place where they can bring their anger, where they can be angry, and the anger will set them free.
God in Christ doesn't make our anger disappear, church is not the salve that fixes our ailments. But it is the place where we discover how anger is the beginning of a revolution of the heart, anger is the catalyst that reshapes the possibilities we believe about the world, anger is what Jesus felt as he made his way to the cross.
So, it's fine if those outside the church will know we are Christians by our love. But maybe it would be better if they knew us by our anger. Amen.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 11, (THEWILL) – WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been evicted from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where he had been holed up since August 2012 and the British police have arrested him.
The plan for the eviction was initially denied by authorities in Quito, Ecuador's capital but President Lenin Moreno issued a video statement explaining why the country withdrew the asylum.
His legal troubles stem from an accusation by two women in Sweden, with both claiming they had a sexual encounter with Assange that was not fully consensual.

A number of hospitals in Germany have fallen prey to ransomware, disrupting core healthcare services and internal systems.
According to German publication Deutsche Welle, several German hospitals, including the Lukas Hospital in Neuss and the Klinikum Arnsberg hospital in North Rhine-Westphalia have become victims of ransomware.
Ransomware is a virulent and particularly nasty breed of malware which is not content with surveillance or data theft. Once a machine is infected -- usually through downloading and opening malicious files -- the malicious code locks down systems and encrypts files.
A holding screen then pops up, demanding a ransom in virtual currency in exchange for a key which will decrypt files and return access to a user.
The news comes after the US-based Southern California hospital paid a fee of $17,000 in Bitcoin to regain access to system files locked by ransomware. The computer network, shut down since the attack began, was then unlocked using the decryption key and normal services were able to resume.
The Lukas Hospital has been forced to pull the plug on everything and go back to phone calls, fax and pen-and-paper records for the past few weeks, where IT systems are still offline.
High-risk surgeries have been pushed back until systems are back in order and handwritten notes have been filed. Luckily, Lukas performs regular backups, but unless files are restored, it is likely some data has been lost -- a dangerous idea in the world of healthcare.
Klinikum Arnsberg spokesperson Richard Bornkeßel told the publication they too are ransomware victims, and the malware was able to enter IT systems through an email which contained a virus. A quick response has saved this hospital from vast amounts of damage -- the virus was detected in one server, and immediately the other 199 servers used by the hospital were switched off to prevent the malware spreading.
While individuals become victims of ransomware such as Cryptowall and TeslaCrypt every day, eventually, security companies are often able to produce free software which unlocks systems. However, in cases where malware has infected key community services, the quickest way is simply to pay the ransom.
This is unfortunate as you would be paying for criminal enterprises, but a country's healthcare systems are needed and files often irreplaceable.
Neither hospital has bowed to the cybercriminal's demands and paid the ransom. DW says it will "take weeks" for systems to be up and running again.


Burundi…yawn. I wasn't really a fan.
First, I'd had so many issues with trying to get the paperwork organized for my visa while dealing with a disorganized travel agency (who I paid $25 to 'invite' me) and a disorganized embassy.
Anyway, I got my visa, went out of the tiny little airport, and found…no van. A guy at the airport called the hotel on my behalf, and basically the hotel manager had confirmed with me via email and then never told the staff. That seems to be a theme with hotels. They also own a cafe in the airport, so the wife of the ownership couple came out to sit with me until the husband came, and we all rode back to the hotel.
I got checked in at the Mt. Zion hotel and enjoyed #6 on this list.
I was famished, since last-minute bookings obviously mean you didn't get to request a vegan meal on the flight. I saw no recommendations online, so I went with a staple: find the closest Indian restaurant. Tandoor was pretty good.
With the delayed flight, delayed pick-up, and now dinner, it was pitch black outside, and it seemed like there was nothing to do at that hour, so I geared up for a full day of walking around.
First, I walked to the mausoleum of a former prince that you can't see, unless you bribe a soldier. Nope, next.
Next, I walked to the unity monument. The only unity was the unity of the police in extracting bribes from me for daring to be in that area visiting their landmark.
I walked through the city and over toward the lakeside, stopping at this church en route.
The main thing I wanted to see in Bujumbura was hippos. They come to hang out by the boat club restaurant. I've seen amazing pictures of it, so I went there for lunch.
After ordering food, I was then informed that they don't come until after 3. Had I known that, I wouldn't have ordered, which is probably why the guy withheld that info.
Nice view over to DRCongo, though.
I needed more cash, so I walked to an ATM and saw the nearby neighborhood.
I then passed the peace park which was, again, roped off and required a bribe to soldiers to enter, so I didn't go in. I seriously don't understand why you can't see any public space or any landmark without bribing someone in Bujumbura. When there's no ticket booth, no receipt, no sign with a price, and the money is going into some guy's pocket, you know it's not an entry fee.
I walked back down to the boat club and sat.
I didn't see a single hippo. Apparently, it was too cold for them that day. I stayed until I just really couldn't stay anymore, got a tuk-tuk back to the hotel, and gathered my stuff for the airport.
If I hadn't missed my flight the previous day, I would've had 2 full days in Bujumbura. Instead, I'd had about 24 hours, but that was honestly enough.
En route to the airport, I realized that I'd never gotten my passport back from the employee who made a copy of it the night before. The taxi driver called the hotel who said they'd drive it out to me.
The wife running the cafe at the airport, again, met me and talked to the check-in staff to find out the plane was running late, they would try to wait for me unless just not possible, and I lost my shirt at the money exchange while waiting.
Lo and behold, the hotel owner shows ups with my passport just WALTZING. Like, he was in no hurry at all. I saw him from across the parking lot, went OUT of the airport, ran to him to grab my passport, and ran back inside to check in. Luckily, the plane was still delayed, and I was able to check in. I only made the flight because of this delay. If it had been up to someone driving quickly and pulling up to the front door to run my passport in (the stuff normal people would do in a big hurry), it wouldn't have happened.
I found Bujumbura boring, I wasn't impressed by the hotel, and I didn't see any hippos. If I had had another full day, I seriously don't know what I would've done with my time.
Goodbye, Burundi. Call me if anything gets interesting.

Deaf West Theatre Puts Unique Spin on Flowers for Algernon
Using its signature, award-winning combination of signed and voiced theater to bring new perspective to a modern American classic, Deaf West Theatre presents Flowers for Algernon at the Whitefire Theatre, opening Sept. 28.
Matthew McCray directs David Rogers' stage adaptation of Daniel Keyes' moving novel about an intellectually disabled man who undergoes experimental surgery to increase his IQ to the level of genius.
Poignant, funny and thought-provoking, Flowers for Algernon is the story of Charlie Gordon (Daniel Durant), willing subject of an extraordinary experiment, and the strange interweaving of his life with Algernon, a mouse whose intelligence has been increased threefold by the daring new procedure. When the operation is performed on intellectually disabled Charlie, his mental capacity changes and so does his life. Suddenly, Charlie (voiced by Josh Breslow) must deal with his blossoming love for his former teacher (Hillary Baack); the uncovered memory of how he was treated as a child by his mother (Sarah Lilly) and sister (Crystal Lott); the complications that arise when his own intelligence exceeds that of his employer (Melanie H. Vansell) and his doctors (Charles Katz, Bruce Katzman and Alek Lev); and conflicting emotions regarding his own former, childhood self (voiced by Sean Easton)
Deaf West Theatre productions weave American Sign Language (ASL) with spoken English to create a seamless ballet of movement and voice. In a unique twist on the Flowers for Algernon story, Charlie learns to celebrate his deaf identity and becomes a master of ASL, a "super-signer."
"ASL will be the visual embodiment of the high IQ that Charlie achieves," says Deaf West artistic director David J. Kurs. "As Charlie's IQ grows, his signing will become ever more fluent and beautiful, until he is creating pictures in the air."
"Because our natural intelligence is often masked, Charlie's experience is similar in some ways to that of the average deaf person," Kurs explains. "When we're young, we're subjected to a battery of medical tests and are often at the mercy of the medical profession. Our parents aren't always able to embrace that we are different and want to make us 'better.' Cochlear implants and other procedures that could possibly offer perfect hearing have brought about the question: what does the future hold for the deaf community?"
In Deaf West's production, deafness becomes a metaphor for the ongoing "disability vs. difference" debate.
Sharon Jensen, executive director of the Tony Award -winning Alliance for Inclusion in the Arts, notes that "Once again, Deaf West continues to provide not only artistic excellence to its audiences, but also to explore our most socially relevant issues in a responsible manner."
Concludes director McCray, "This production is a head-on look at the variety of experience that is lived throughout the world."
Set design for Flowers for Algernon is by Sarah Krainin, lighting design is by Jeremy Pivnick, costume design is by Gwyneth ConawayBennison [sic], sound design is by Joseph "Sloe" Slawinski and projection design is by Adam Flemming. The ASL Master is Shoshannah Stern, and assistant ASL Masters are Benjamin Lewis and Amber Zion. David J. Kurs and Laura Hill produce for Deaf West Theatre.
Flowers for Algernon was first published as a short story in 1959 in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. It was reprinted many times in many languages and won the Hugo Award. In 1961, the U.S. Steel Hour telecast a dramatic version called The Two Worlds of Charlie Gordon, starring Cliff Robertson. From 1962 to 1965, Keyes worked on the novel-length version. It was published in 1966, winning the Nebula Award, and is now still available in both hardcover and Bantam paperback editions (Harcourt, Brace, 1966; Bantam, 1968, reissued in the Harcourt Brace Modern Classics series, 1995). It has been widely translated and is studied in schools and colleges around the world. Cliff Robertson won an Academy Award for his performance in the 1968 movie version, Charly. Developed as a dramatic musical in 1979, Charlie and Algernon was performed at the Queen's Theater in London's West End starring Michael Crawford; at the Terrace and Eisenhower theaters in Washington, D.C.; and at the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway.
David J. Kurs is the second Deaf West artistic director in the company's 23-year history. Under his leadership, Deaf West co-produced the award-winning world premiere of Cyrano by Stephen Sachs with the Fountain Theatre (Los Angeles Drama Circle Award for Outstanding Production). Previously, he served as the company's artistic associate; he was associate producer and ASL Master on Deaf West productions of Pinocchio (2011), My Sister in This House (2010) and Children of a Lesser God (2009); and he wrote Aesop Who? (2008). A native of Riverside, CA and graduate of Gallaudet University, he has worked as a freelance writer and producer of a variety of documentary, commercial, theatrical and narrative projects.
Matthew McCray recently directed the critically acclaimed West coast premiere of Our Class by Tadeusz SÅ'obodzianek; the U.S premiere of Martin Crimp's The City; and world premieres of Death of a Salesgirl by Patricia Scanlon and of his own original work, Eternal Thou, which received a 2013 remount at South Coast Repertory through StudioSCR. He is the founding artistic director of Son of Semele Ensemble (SOSE) which was profiled by American Theatre in 2004 as one of the country's top up-and-coming theater ensembles. In the last 13 years, Matthew has produced over 25 plays for SOSE and has grown the company into both a production company for its LA-based membership ensemble and an incubator organization serving progressive theater artists from across the country. Matthew was in residence with Center Theatre Group in 2008 developing Fencerow to Fencerow, his original play about American agriculture, funded, in part, by a grant from the EST/Sloan Foundation Project in Science and Technology. He has directed productions and workshops for Center Theatre Group, REDCAT, South Coast Repertory, Bootleg Theatre, Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, Son of Semele Ensemble, Rogue Machine, Circle X, Moving Arts and others.
Deaf West Theatre is recognized as the premier sign language theater in the United States. Over the last 23 years, DWT has produced over 40 plays and four musicals, winning more than 80 theater awards including a Tony nomination and four Drama Desk Awards for the Broadway production of Big River, which also received Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle and Backstage Garland awards for Best Musical when it first premiered in L.A. Other award-winning productions include Cyrano (a co-production with the Fountain Theatre - Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Production), A Streetcar Named Desire (Ovation Award for Best Play, 2000) and Oliver! (Ovation Award for Best Musical, 2000). In 2005, DWT was selected to receive the Highest Recognition Award by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for its "distinguished contributions to improve and enrich the culture lives of deaf and hard of hearing actors and theater patrons."
Flowers for Algernon runs Sept. 28 through Nov. 3, with performances on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Two preview performances will take place on Sept. 26 and 27 on the same schedule. An Audience Talk Back with special guest David Serlin, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Communication UC San Diego, will follow the matinee performance on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Roy Moore denies knowing woman who says he preyed on her as a teen
Gabby Kaufman
Yahoo News• November 10, 2017

Roy Moore, the Republican Senate candidate in Alabama, on Friday rejected the claims made by women who told the Washington Post that he pursued them sexually when they were teens and he was in his 30s.
The Post report, published the day before, upended the previously under-the-radar special election to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions' former seat. Moore initially dismissed the entire report as "fake news" but had not previously addressed the specific allegations.
On Friday, Moore denied even knowing Leigh Corfman, the woman who made the most explosive claim. She told the Post that when she was 14 and Moore was 32, he undressed her and himself, touched her over her undergarments and guided her hand to touch him. The age of consent in Alabama was then and continues to be 16.
"I don't know Ms. Corfman from anybody," Moore said in a radio interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Moore, now 70, similarly denied knowing a woman who said he asked her on dates when she was 16. Moore said he did recall two women who said they dated him when they were 17 and 18 years old, but he otherwise disputed their accounts of their encounters with him. One woman said they met when he spoke to her high school civics class, which Moore said he didn't recall. Another claimed he provided her with alcohol when she was underage, which he unequivocally denied.
Asked how he knew the women if he did not date them, Moore said he may have known their parents. He noted that one woman said her mother encouraged her to date him.
When Hannity asked Moore if it would have been normal for him to date teenagers when he was in his 30s, Moore waffled, answering that he dated "a lot of young ladies." When Hannity asked Moore the same question later in the interview, Moore answered more firmly that it did not align with his "customary behavior."
Moore claimed that his campaign was conducting an investigation that would prove his innocence.
Meanwhile, a growing number of Republicans, including Mitt Romney and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, are calling for him to withdraw his candidacy. Others have simply said the outspoken former judge should drop out of the race "if" the allegations are true.
The special election is on Dec. 12.

13 wins & 1 nomination.
I watch a lot of movies. I write very few reviews.
I have a rule not to watch anything below 5.5 rating on IMDb and make few exceptions.
Anything above a 7, and I get excited. The rating for this excuse for entertainment was 7.4 at time of writing. I've watched a lot of movies. This is not a 7.4, hence I'm writing this review to inform you that it's one of about 20 movies I've stopped without watching, and the only one rated on IMDb so highly.
C-grade cinema at it's finest. Wasted 20 minutes on a movie that should almost certainly be below my 5.5 cut off line.

Persian is the ancient language of Persia and the modern language of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, the language of the Epic of Kings (Shâhnâmeh), the Robâiyât of Omar Khayyâm, and the mystical and spiritual verse of the poet Rumi. Persian is an Indo-European language, related to English, Greek, Latin, Spanish, French, German, and Russian, but written — for historical reasons — in an Arabic script. Farsi is the dialect of Iran, Dari that of Afghanistan, Tajiki that of Tajikistan. The Persian Empire was one of the greatest of world history.
Persian is taught during both academic year and summer at NC State. See links at the right for more information about courses, learning materials, and below, for student and other local cultural organizations. NC State also offers a Minor in Middle East Studies, for which Persian is naturally an elective language.
If you have more specific questions regarding NC State Persian courses, or questions related to Persian in general, please write to Maryam Mohaghegh.
First and third semester Persian language (FLPER 101 and FLPER 201) are taught in the Fall of each Academic Year, and second and fourth semester Persian (FLPER 102 and FLPER 202) are taught in Spring. Fifth and sixth semester Persian (Advanced Level) are available on demand.
Persian is taught at NC State in summer in intensive format: 101 and 102 in six weeks for eight academic credits. Classes meet daily for five and a half hours, with mornings devoted to structure and grammar and afternoons to practical conversation and culture. Very high levels of oral proficiency are attainable in this format.
For specific information about Summer Intensive Persian at NC State, see our GO NC State website.

In September 2009, Dr. Gabram was appointed to Deputy Director of Cancer Center for Excellence at Grady. Then, in October 2011, she was named Surgeon-in-Chief at Grady Memorial Hospital. Dr. Gabram's current research focuses on decreasing disparities for breast cancer patients. She serves as the medical liaison for the AVON community outreach and navigation program and is responsible for clinical access to high quality care for patients seen in the AVON Comprehensive Breast Center at Grady. From a predictive health perspective, she collaborates with researchers from Georgia Tech on the examination of breath biomarkers in exhaled specimens as a potential tool for breast cancer disease detection and monitoring. To date, Dr. Gabram has authored over 65 peer reviewed journal publications. Dr. Gabram is the recipient of numerous awards and honors. She has been named by the patient resource guide Castle Connolly as one of America's Top Doctors for seven consecutive years and American's Top Cancer Doctors for five consecutive years. She has received the Arthur G. Michel, MD Award for Excellence in Breast Care from the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization and was selected as one of Atlanta Magazine's Top Doctors in 2007 and 2009. In the November 2008 Women's Health magazine she was named one of 5 top oncologists for women in the South. Additionally, she is a member of several prestigious professional societies including a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the Society of Surgical Oncology and the American Society of Breast Surgeons.
Personal Statement: As I transitioned from Loyola University in Chicago, I wanted to really make a difference for women with breast cancer, especially underserved women, and decrease the survival disparities gap when comparing African-American women to White women. I felt it was important to be a part of the Emory at Grady medical team as it is an opportunity to make a difference for women who otherwise do not have the means for excellent medical care.

Reve(a)l ProductionsAqueous2021-06-05T10:56:07+01:00
Reve(a)l Productions: Connecting Communities through Performance
Reve(a)l Productions aims to support the growth and development of people who are marginalised or disadvantaged using Social & Community Theatre (Applied Theatre) and putting on devised 'Shows with Meaning' in local community settings. We work flexibly on a range of projects and funding. Audiences may be small and connected to the performers or in a wider setting – the performances bring a message to the audience that is critical to the development of the performers in changing their lives and the lives of people in the audience.
Reve(a)l Productions provides opportunities for adults and young people from all walks of life to explore drama and co-create performance as a tool for action, empowerment and transformation, both as an individual and in wider communities. We recognise that performance is immediate and an outcome of a process that involves action research, collaboration, discovery and play. Reve(a)l Productions offers individuals, groups and communities the circumstances to create meaningful experiences – journeying together through storytelling, movement, voice work, and performance.
Reve(a)l Productions has worked – and will continue to work inclusively with varied communities. We work in any location/neighbourhood with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Social & Community Theatre Experience
2020 – 2021 (current)
Joanna is directing another Somerset site specific show with Nick White and Wassail Theatre. Apples & Pears will be performed at Burrow Hill in Somerset throughout September 2021. Click here to find out more.
'Mind Over Matter' School workshops: Reveal Productions CIC is working with Edmonton Community Foundation, who are in partnership with 30 local schools in North London, to deliver sixteen 1-day workshops in North London schools. The drama workshops, delivered by Joanna and co-facilitator June Tuitt, will support 10-11-year-olds to build confidence, trust and resilience, and learn how to be strong in difficult times. Each day will end with a short performance and we are working with the schools to plan a follow-up in the classroom.
Active Mentoring:
Joanna has been helping and supporting young and older people to achieve healthy growth and build self-confidence. You could call this working from the 'Inside-Out'. What we often see with this approach is a new and strengthened sense of identity and resilience. At this time (under Covid conditions) this has involved working with feelings of grief, anxiety and rage. Clients have included a young teenager, a number of mothers and grandmothers and a group of parents. This is part of an ongoing approach adopted within applied theatre work using EFT and drama techniques.
August 2020 – The Red Shoes: 2 outdoor performances with Sarah Mooney directed by Joanna – see video under projects
Sierra Leone – Wood Green Online Arts Platform Joanna ventured into Online In person facilitation (see projects page). This project began with an exploration of culture, place and the impact of lockdown, COVID-19 and connecting African Caribbean – African Community experiences. This was the start of a longer-term engagement, aiming to create joint creative expression through online channels.
Joanna directed (and appeared in) 'Heartbeat': Lockdown has created a situation for many where we have been cut off and isolated from one another and the familiar way of life that we knew. Live performances were stopped and online connection took over, but as the weeks and months passed, people craved that live, visceral contact.
Heartbeat is a joint project with Wassail Theatre, funded by Arts Council England. The project aims to create theatre which is tactile, intimate, and touching (in the heartfelt sense!). Performances create a sense of fun and connection, bringing joy and recognition to the local community.
Funded by the Arts Council England and Westhill Endowment Trust, Pattern Up The Play completed its second run in February 2020.
Joanna worked with dramaturg Mongi Mthombeni and writer Marika McKennell to develop the original script and embolden the story. The cast worked with Rubs Stevenson to incorporate African dance into the play and actor Jae Marcus X developed a number of acapella songs based on traditional African chants and gospel. New actors Jeremie Kadi and Amaarah Roze joined the cast.
Pattern Up toured to 8 locations (9 performances) in early 2020 and was performed in theatre settings, including the Arcola Theatre, Hackney and McQueen's Theatre at Karamel, Wood Green, as well as at City Hall (Greater London Authority Council Chamber), a church hall, a community college, an Academy High School, and an Alternative Education Provision.
Joanna directed Somerset Charabanc 2019 "Egg Day" in association with Wassail Productions and Somerset Wildlife Trust. This year, the Millers Cart drawn by Suffolk Shire horses, blazed a trail through Westhay Nature Reserve with the audience on board and exploring the land where the action took place; a story of greed and deception against the backdrop of climate change and conservation.
Joanna completed work on Pattern Up the play, the result of the 'Lifes a Carnival' project. A readthrough May 18 highlighted the enthusiasm of some 40 members of the local community, as well as providing valuable feedback on where the script can be improved. Funding for this phase was provided by Arts Council England and Westhill Endowment. Joanna devised Pattern Up over 18 months with ken Hinds and June Tuitt, community activists in the Tottenham African Caribbean community and directed the production. Pattern Up was performed 9 times in all, mainly at community centres in North London, the College of Haringey, Enfield and NE London (twice) and two venues in Leicester where June grew up. Approximately 600 attended the performances. After each show the cast held a discussion with the audiences and gave information about the proposed work of Communities Against Violence Haringey, a grassroots community organisation founded by Ken, June and other community activists in Haringey, North London. See Current projects page.
Joanna just completed directing a one man show for the Coker Arts Festival with Nick White and Wassail Productions. Based on the character "Pete" from "Somerset Charabanc" it followed his character (played by Nick) and his girlfriend "Babs" (a puppet with personality) around the villages of East and West Coker, performances taking place in pub, meadow, playground, cafe and even a butcher shop!
Joanna, made a film with Mary Renouf, her partner from imaginAge. "Care As You Are" is about the emotional impact of caring for parent or spouse with dementia. The film was being written by Mary and directed by Joanna. Joanna working with dementia expert Jane Dalrymple, is working closely with commissioners and carers' groups in Somerset to create a series of workshops based on the film as a development tool for professional carers, health workers and community groups in order to stimulate carers to meet and talk about the content – to normalise the conversations about caring for a relative or spouse with dementia and the impact it has.
Arts Council England funded the research and development phase of "Life's A Carnival" (resulting in Pattern Up" the play) and workshops and interviews in the community were held, whilst writer Marika McKennell and Joanna developed the script with input from June Tuitt and Ken Hinds two community activists from Tottenham whose lives the play is based upon.
Joanna started a new venture – imaginAge – a website and YouTube channel for older age people to create and watch creative content together based on 'connections'. Connecting with nature and connecting through events in people's lives'. We are also making short videos ourselves.The first was filmed as part of dementia week in Langport, Somerset with a group of people in a care home, their spouses, carers and a group of children and was on the theme of 'kites'.
The Somerset Charrabanc rides again! The Arts Council funded Wassail Productions to produce an extended version for 2017's Langport Festival in September. Joanna directed the production and this year there was additional community involvement in the production in additional to the professional actors.
2016 – 2017 ongoing
"Life's A Carnival" Joanna is developing and working on a show pivoting around the lives of Ken Hinds from the heart of Tottenham, London – a mediator between police, community and gangs, and with a powerful story to tell – and June Tuitt, a lone mother from that community, who has raised 7 boys and girl, whose boys have experienced issues relating to being stabbed, stop and search and mental health. The aim is to develop the show in a way that shows that there is an alternative to cycles of racism, exclusion and violence. We are adding in workshops to engage local community to develop the themes and have been joined by a mother living in Tottenham.
A key development is that the production will promote Communities Against Violence in Haringey, a grassroots organisation aiming to engage members of the community to divert young people away from knife crime and gangs.
Joanna developed an innovative approach to local storytelling in Somerset, working with Nick White, Wassail Productions, funded by the Arts Council. Working with 4 actors and Nick White, writer, a show was devised and performed in September taking a 'mythology' of the Somerset Levels as the basis for the show. "The Somerset Charabanc" was performed on a large Millers Cart, drawn by two Suffolk horses, which wound its way around Langport and Muchelney, as the audience were invited to witness an 'illicit' wedding and the resolution of a dramatic and fateful event 100 years ago connected to the flooding of the Levels (all performed on the moving cart carrying the audience across the Levels!)
Lomakatsi: delivered drama-based activities to a group of young people at an acute mental health ward in Edgware. Also has been co-opted onto Lomakatsi's practise advisory group.
Funding received to direct a play developed with the writer, to be performed for community audiences. The play 'With Full Conviction' incorporated the idea of how a spiritually-focused community might come into being through a collective search for the truth in the context of exclusion, social conflict and responsibility. Production was directed by Joanna and rehearsed over 3 months, and was performed by non-professional actors who drew on their own experiences of exclusion. The 1 hour 15minute play was performed over 3 nights to great audience acclaim in Brighton and Bognor Regis.
Delivered a one-day drama workshop for 25 Young Carers in Somerset, developing confidence, creativity and group working, acknowledging the qualities of being a young carer and using drama to create scenes together

Course content: This course provides an introduction to various writing styles in philosophy. Dr. James began researching this topic as part of her work with the Writing Across the Curriculum group. Following the work of philosophers like Laura Duhan Kaplan, we will find that there are a variety of writing styles that many undergraduates can benefit from studying: literary narratives, metaphors, personal philosophical autobiographies, and philosophical biographies. We will examine these writing styles and consider how they relate to philosophical issues such as consciousness, awareness, literary styles, and critical styles. This is a reading intensive course, so it will require you to read, think about, and write about a considerable amount of material.
Requirements: Class participation and attendance, two written examinations, two papers, a "Point Person" class day for each student, and various Blazeview assignments and discussions. Pop Reading Quizzes may also be given during the semester.
1. To understand the distinctions among the various writing styles involved in expressing philosophical concepts.
2. To recognize how philosophical inquiry applies to 'real-world' circumstances and to individual written narratives.
3. To become conversant with the history of philosophy as it relates to personal philosophical autobiography, touching on social issues such as feminism and racism.
Exams and Papers: The exams in our class will be "short answer" written exams. Usually I ask six questions and a complete answer should be no less than four complete sentences. These exams are "objective" in the sense that the answers can be directly related to class discussions and the textbook. Reading and participating in class are important for your exam grades. The papers involve more creative and independent thinking. The papers should be no less than five pages long, double spaced, in a standard 12 point font like Times/ Times New Roman. Expect to use the text and cite it with a consistent citation scheme (refer to theSt. Martin's Handbook you use in your English classes). "Use direct quotes!" Don't use plastic paper covers, just a staple is fine. The ability to write and edit well-constructed academic essays is an important skill that will come in handy throughout your college career and beyond. Again, these papers must be typed, double-spaced, in a standard 12-point font (e.g., Times) with one-inch margins at the top and bottom of each page and 1.25-inch margins on either side (the default settings in Microsoft Word). More specific topics are given out as we do the readings, and I always mention things that would make a good paper topic during our class meetings and discussions.
No Class Meeting on these dates, Spring Break!
Dr. James cannot meet with the class tonight, because she has to be a chaperone for a group of students presenting their research at the Southern Regional Honors Council Conference in Savannah: http://www.srhconline.org/hcol/content.php We will have a Discussion in Blazeview on tonight's readings listed below in place of class meeting. This Discussion will be due by Saturday 3/29 at 11:59pm.
Kramp, M. K. 2004. Exploring Life and Experience Through Narrative Inquiry. In K. deMarrais & S. D. Lapan (Eds.), Foundations for research (pp. 103-121). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
The last official class meeting day for all Spring Semester classes is Monday 5/5. Our class has been assigned the final exam date and time of Thursday May 8 at 7:15pm. Our class has a final exam to be completed in the Blazeview Quizzes area. You should plan to turn it in via Blazeview by Thursday May 8 at 7:15pm.

Q: Why is "import" underlined in red in VSCode? I would like to run a couple of basic scripts from a file called import_process_eda.py.
However, import is underlined in red when applied to the 4 dictionaries - i.e. pandas, numpy, matplotlib and seaborn - that I would like to use throughout the script.
Each time I run python3 import_process_eda.py, I receive ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'.
I've run the code from Anaconda prompt under the "base" virtual environment, which has pandas installed.

A: You'll need to install the libraries you need locally before being able to import them into a project.
You can do this in different ways:

*

*Through the terminal using pip or npm (ie: pip install pandas),

*Importing them directly from the VSCode Extension Library,

*Using the anaconda environment.
