Trekking at altitude is a physical, mental an emotional challenge that requires a dedicated focus on nutrition, a quiet mind and an organized backpack full of the right gear.
I learnt lots of lessons whilst trekking in Africa last week, up two of the highest peaks on that continent. Four years ago I attempted to climb Mt Kilimanjaro with far less experience, wisdom and knowledge than I took with me this time round, and in hindsight I can now look at both experiences and share some of the lessons and tips I found most useful in helping me to summit both Mt Meru and Mt Kilimanjaro within a week of each other.
Hidden challenges are rewarding if you welcome them and adapt – Mt Meru was a hidden challenge that none of the team had anticipated. Rocky scrambles in the dark, kilometres of steep, rocky scree to descend and steep drop offs on either side made for a very challenging trek, where we ascended and then descended over 3000 metres in 3 days. But the joy and feeling of accomplishment that followed the initial exhaustion will long be remembered by our team.
A quiet mind, steady breathing and positive attitude really go along way at altitude.
Caring for others and sharing our daily magic moments really brought the team together and helped us to appreciate the beauty and magic of the mountain we were climbing, no matter how hard the day had been physically.
Respect the guides and staff that support you – they are experts in this area and have helped thousands of people to climb these mountains. Learn from their wisdom and advice and be prepared to think outside of the box.
Have a reason, a goal or a person in mind as your inspiration to climb that mountain.
Take one day at a time – revel in the new sights, sounds, tastes and experiences around you, rather than worrying about lies ahead the next day.
Stay healthy – eat well, hydrate 4-5l a day, give your body a chance to adapt before taking lots of medications; take supplements like Vit C, Gingko, probiotics and Iron to help you to resists bugs and stay well.
Watch and learn from those in the team who are experienced at altitude and who have little pearls of wisdom to impart. Follow in their footsteps literally – technical walking in a rhythm really helps one to focus on breathing regulation.

"Holland-America, 1609 to Today" Conference Cycle
"Mondriaan into Mondrian: Paris to New York"
Terra Foundation for American Art Paris Center & Library (Paris, France)
The tumult of the Second World War led to a veritable exodus of European artists and intellectuals to the United States, including Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. His studio in New York, where he worked from 1940 until his death in 1944, symbolized a crucial locus of exchange in artistic ideas between Europe and America. This dialogue brings together two Mondrian specialists: Nancy Troy, author of The Afterlife of Piet Mondrian (University of Chicago Press, 2013), which studies the artist's legacy and influence in fashion, graphic design, and consumer commodities; and Hans Janssen, author of a forthcoming new biography of the artist. Janssen is also curator at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, which holds the world's largest collection of works by Mondrian, including Victory Boogie-Woogie, Mondrian's last, unfinished painting, created in New York in anticipation of the end of the war, which he did not live to witness.

The FBI's Unified Crime Report gathers information from police districts all over the country. As you can see from the chart below, there were 831 property crimes in Ankeny in 2017, of which 143 were burglaries. But you can avoid becoming a statistic when you make the decision to invest in a home security system.
As of 2017, Ankeny had a population of 61,090 people, making it Iowa's number 9 largest city. Studies* show that homes with security systems are 3 times less likely to be burglarized than homes without security systems. The smart decision, therefore, is to protect your home with ADT monitored security system.
What Is The Average Loss In A Burglary In Ankeny, IA?
The average loss in a burglary in the United States is $2,416, based on crime statistics compiled by the FBI. That means the total annual loss for Ankeny homeowners is a whopping $345,488!

Last Saturday I had a chance to be interviewed by a student in the Brunswick Schools video program. The program known as the Beat is comprised of 35 award winning student video journalists. They write print articles and tape 3 to 5 minute TV segments every week which air on the school's cable channel. It's a bona fide production studio which even includes a news desk donated by a local news channel. I had a great time and got to meet a lot of sharp, up and coming young journalists. The following is the text of the interview that took place:
Over the past decade, schools across the nation have lowered or completely dropped the funding for music and arts programs. Many people, however, believe that it is still important that programs for the fine arts are kept available to all students. One of these people is cartoonist and Ohio native Tom Batiuk, the creator of Funky Winkerbean.
Funky Winkerbean was first published in syndication in 1972 by Publishers-Hall Syndicate. The strip mixes cartoons and comedy with current events. However, it started off as a, "…teen genre strip…" according to Batiuk, which focused on the comic's core set of characters and their lives in high school. "As time went on," he continued, "they [the characters] started to grow up [and] I started expanding." He began to mix the plot of the comic strip with more current issues. "One reason I changed things was because I realized that they can't stay forever." Batiuk also created several other setting locations for the characters to interact and grow that are still commonly seen in the strip today. He said, "…I've basically followed these core characters from high school through their whole lives."
The fine arts and school music programs have been addressed in several panels of Funky Winkerbean. "I've done that all along," Batiuk said. "When I was young, I took piano lessons, I was in the junior high band. And I created my band director character Harry L. Dinkle, 'The World's Greatest Band Director.' So he's been a big part of the strip – I've always gotten a great response to him. So it allowed me to tap on my musical background and keep using it all the time." Batiuk said that he's done panels in the past where they [the characters] have tried to save the music program. The recent panel, like others that have touched on the music program, was as Batiuk describes it, "… a one-off. It's not going to be extended into a long story. But it's so interwoven and become such a part of the strip that I'll always be touching on it."
Batiuk believes continuously keeping music and arts programs available to students is still very important today. "I think it's such an important part of life. It's like Harry said at the end of that one week… he never went to Carnegie Hall to listen to a banker… it's all part of the fabric of things. And there are studies that show that, like taking music for example, helps with math. It's just all of these things I think make us better citizens and more well-rounded human beings, and that's what I think their importance is to the core curriculum."
Batiuk understands personally how important programs for the fine arts can be. His life and career today would be very different without them. He said, "I took art in high school and it was very important. Although interestingly my art teacher would never let me draw cartoons in class…" Batiuk took art classes in college which helped with his career. However, he also took a lot of literature courses. "…I took a lot of English lit. courses, read a lot, and that was very important for the writing aspects of the career." Then, when Batiuk started Funky Winkerbean, his old high school art teacher invited him to come back to the high school and visit whenever he wanted. This opportunity and experience help Batiuk to make the strip more grounded and real. Without the art programs that were available to Batiuk in school, Funky Winkerbean and his career in general would be nowhere near where it is today. "I've been very very lucky… Not every cartoonist gets to have his characters grow up and gets to follow them through their lives… so that has been a very fortunate thing for me and I hope I can continue to do it."

When game machine-maker Sega launched their challenge to market leader Nintendo, they needed a game which showed off the fast graphics of their new Genesis system. The answer was a furiously fun game called Sonic the Hedgehog. The game proved so popular that several follow-ons were created, and eventually it even became a comic book. The heroic hedgehog is a bundle of energy with supersonic sneakers that let him run incredibly fast. He needs all his skill and speed to stop the evil Doctor Robotnik, who plans to turn all the furry creatures of Mobius into robots. However, with the help of friends Princess Sally, Tails, and Knuckles, he's ready to take on any nasty plan that Robotnik can cook up.

Rolex Date 1500 'Abu Dhabi Military'
Crest dials were primarily made for the Arab market from the '50s to the '80s and are dials with military insignas on it. The stainless steel case of this reference 1500 measures 34 mm in diameter, which is slightly smaller than most men's models, such as the Datejust and Day-Date. However, thanks to its no-nonsense design, it is an impressive and very masculine timepiece. While we mostly see the Rolex Date on an Oyster bracelet, this one comes on a stainless steel Jubilee bracelet. This is something we think is very cool! Furthermore, this 1500, dating back to 1975, also has a stunning Abu Dhabi Military crest dial, which makes this simple, yet special, watch just a little bit more unique.
Rolex DateAs many of you would probably know, Rolex was the first watchmaker who created a full water- and dustproof case in the year 1926, twenty-one years after de foundation of the company. The innovation that actually led to the creation of this case was Rolex's patented screw down crown in combination with its two-piece screw-down case. This was the start of the Oyster series. It certainly lives up to its name because the watch is waterproof like an actual oyster that protects its pearl from seawater. This attribute protects the movement of the wristwatch. Later, the Date function on the dial was added, which was the birth of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date.

100 days of oil: Gulf life will never be the same
GRAND ISLE, LA. • A hundred days ago, the oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded off the coast of Louisiana, and in an instant, life along the Gulf Coast changed for good.
The 100 days since the April 20 explosion have been a gut-wrenching time for folks who work, play and live along the Gulf Coast. The Gulf is a sanctuary for some, an employer for others, and now, a tragedy.
A hundred days ago, business was booming at Barrios Seafood Restaurant in Golden Meadow, La., during Lent, when many of the Roman Catholics in south Louisiana forgo meat on Fridays or altogether. Alicia and Thomas Barrios believed their years of struggling to get the business going were finally paying off.
"We we re saying, 'If business is this good now, just think what it will be like in the summer,"' Alicia Barrios said. "It was more money than we had ever made before in our lives."
They began sprucing up the restaurant, even adding a patio with visions of customers lingering there this summer. Then the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and the oil began filling the Gulf.
"I'd say about 50 percent of our business was tourist, and they stopped coming immediately," Alicia said. "Seafood got hard to get, the price went up and people are worried about eating it."
These days, Thomas Barrios is working in the Vessels of Opportunity program, helping BP clean up the spill. Alicia Barrios has had to lay off two of her employees and the adjacent market is only open two days a week.
A hundred days ago, Joey Rojas was in a training session for his job as an oil pipeline production operator when he heard about the rig explosion. He figured it would be cleaned up in a few days, but soon he was worrying about the future of his entire industry.
Two weeks after high school graduation, Rojas, 24, bucked a long family tradition of commercial fishing to take a job in south Louisiana's oil country. He hasn't looked back — until now.
He worries about a push by federal officials to impose a deepwater drilling moratorium and new regulations.
Every so often, he thinks about another line of work. But there's little chance he'll find one that would pay as much while allowing him to live near his family in the fishing village of Port Sulphur.
"I think about looking for another job. And then I think about where I can make the money that I make now, unless I'm a lawyer or a doctor," he said. "You just can't go anywhere and make $80,000 a year."
A hundred days ago, Darlene Kimball was getting ready for a busy summer at her family's docks in Pass Christian, Miss., waiting for the buyers who would snap up hundreds of pounds of shrimp from the backs of boats, loading them into ice chests and hauling them back to giant freezers.
Now the place is empty, and the only boats she sees are the ones used by BP contractors cleaning up the spill.
Kimball's family has been in the Mississippi seafood industry since 1930, and she's never wanted to do anything else. But recently the 43-year-old had to do the unthinkable — draft a resume so she could look for another line of work.

ifsc News & Updates As it Happens
No cheap housing, car loans for now as RBI keeps interest rates on hold
09 December 2017:The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday maintained a status quo on key interest rates but raised inflation forecast for the remaining period of the current fiscal and cautioned that the recent duty roll back on petrol and diesel and GST rate cuts could result in a fiscal slippage.RBI Governor Urjit Patel decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6%, the reverse repo at 5.57% after inflation rose to a seven-month high in October. It raised the inflation forecast to 4.3%-4.7% for the period till March 31, 2018. However, the economic growth forecast was kept unchanged at 6.7% for the financial year 2017-18. Wednesday's decision was more or less on the expected lines as almost all macro-economic indicators leading to the monetary policy review – crude oil and commodity prices, retail inflation and the government's fiscal situation -- pointed towards a negative. Economists said, the RBI may go in for a pause in rates in the foreseeable future as November and December inflation rates were seen inching up on the back of farm loan waiver and the upward revision in HRA impact. The recent GST rate cuts on several items were also seen inflationary.
Govt sets up Arun Jaitley-panel to oversee PSU bank mergers
31 October 2017:In a move to revive PSU banks affected by bad loans, the government on Monday set up a ministerial panel, led by finance minister Arun Jaitley, to consider and oversee mergers among the country's 21 state-run banks. "Govt walks the talk on banking reforms; constitutes Alternative Mechanism for PSBs consolidation; Finance Minister to head," financial services secretary Rajiv Kumar said in a tweet on Monday. The decision has come after the government announced a Rs. 2.11 trillion bank recapitalisation plan for public sector lenders. While announcing the capital infusion roadmap for public sector banks last week, Jaitley had said the move will be accompanied by a series of banking reforms over next few months. The idea of bank mergers has been around since at least 1991, when former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor M. Narasimham recommended the government merge banks into a three-tiered structure, with three large banks with an international presence at the top. Consolidation is also likely to help them deal better with their credit portfolio, including stressed assets. Consolidation prevents a multiplicity of resources being spent in the same area and strengthens banks to deal with shocks, Jaitley had said in August.
IDFC merging with Shriram Group is just the right move in the financial Services
8 July 2017:Banking firm IDFC group and south based financial service Shriram group are in a process of heading towards a merger. With combined entity covering assets of over 2 lakh crore, there are several qualitative factors that will give stimulation to the business of the combined entity. Here are five reasons to strongly justify the merger.
The merger is going to grant IDFC bank access to a well-established network in the entire region of south.
Since Shriram group is all into retail assets, IDFC with this merger will get a huge portfolio of retail assets especially micro loans, two wheeler, personal loans, loan against gold etc.
This merger will provide the bank huge access to branches and will help building retail deposits, as the bank's current and saving account is less than 10 percent of the total assets.
As retail portfolio is growing at over 25 per cent for the industry, which in a way is compensating for the lower growth in the corporate book for many banks, IDFC does not have this luxury because of lower retail liabilities, this merger will act as a balancing act.
The merger will also bring two insurance subsidiaries and the mutual fund business of Shriram into IDFC fold.
Allahabad Bank MCLR Reduces to 8.60%
6th June 2016: Following the post demonetization MCLR cut, Allahabad Bank reduces its MCLR by 0.85%. The current MCLR stands between 8.15% - 8.60%. Car and home loan rates associated with MCLR will also see a drop. As of June 2016, MCLR has been established as the benchmark rate by the RBI to make the system more transparent.

17 November 2017:As per released data by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) digital payment grew in volume between August & September with credit and debit cards and prepaid payment instruments ( PPIs ) or wallets being the laggards. Unified Payments Interface (UPI) grew the fastest on a month-on-month (m-o-m) basis in September in terms of volume of transactions which is likely good number. While the volume rose 85.4% over August to 30.8 million, the value of transactions on the channel grew 28% to Rs 5,293.48 crore in September. This is rapidly increasing month by month basis. It was followed by Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) transactions, which rose 9.5% m-o-m to 82.85 million and the aggregate transaction value rose 10% to Rs 71,760 crore. The volume of transactions via the National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) mode rose 2.3% m-o-m to 151.61 million in August, while the value of transactions increased 4% to Rs 12.5 lakh crore between July and August.
Canara bank is hoping for an enduring springs in 2017-18
21 July 2017:Canara bank's gross non-performing assets ratio has climbed to 1.56% during net NPA ratio increased to 7.09% from 6.33% in the previous quarter. The bank cannot blame for its optimism because most of the lenders are now left with doubtful thread of hope after bad loans damaged their books for the past two years. The Bengaluru-based public sector lender reported a net profit of Rs.251 crore for the quarter ended June. For Canara Bank 2017-18 supposed to be year of recovery and growth, it says in its results presentation to analyst and investors. The growth in net interest income has improved to 17.59% in the June quarter from little over 14% in the previous quarter should also comfort investors. It come simultaneously improved loan growth of 6.7% especially in slow moving quarter. Canara Bank believes that some digging on its assets quality should obliged, before investors begin to bet on the recovery. The headline bad loan ratios on a gross and net basis are likely to show that the lender's troubles have increased.

He said 9.8 percent rate of interest would be charged for the third advance for marriage loan. He said it has also been decided to fix the interest rate of 7.8% per annum on deposits in the General Provident Fund and other similar funds with effect from October 1 to December 31, 2017. That will be the good news for Haryana employees for this financial year.
Indian banks to face $65 bn capital shortage by FY19, says Fitch
13 September 2017:Indian Banks will need about USD 65 billion in additional capital, lower than estimated earlier, to meet the Basel III capital sufficiency rule by March 2019 and push loan growth, Fitch Ratings said today. Weak capital positions have a major negative effect on the bank's capability ratings which will come under more pressure if the problem is not addressed, it added. State-owned banks which account for 95 percent of the estimated shortage have limited options to increase the capital they still require, it said."Prospects for internal capital generation are weak and low investor confidence impedes access to the equity capital market," Fitch said, adding that they are likely to be dependent on the state to meet core capital requirements. The government is committed to investing only another USD 3 billion in fresh justice for 21 public sector banks (PSBs) over the current and the next financial, having already provided most of the originally budgeted USD 11 billion."Fitch believes the government will have to pump in more than double, even on a bare minimum basis, if it is to raise loan growth, address weak provision cover, and aid in effective NPL resolution," it said. The gross non-performing loan (NPL) ratio reached 9.7 percent in 2016-17, up from 7.8 percent in 2015-16.Additionally, "State banks are unlikely to be freed from their current gridlock unless NPL resolution is accompanied by additional capital," Fitch said.
NRI loans bring India a step closer
9 July 2017:The NRIs now have a reason to celebrate as their dreams are on the verge of getting a concrete shape, all thanks to the NRI loans. As India is a hub for be it education, business or any other aspect availing an NRI loan that suits their needs in India is just as easy as a click. Speaking of education most of the reputed banks in India offer loans to NRIs for education and not only education but availing loans for business purposes is also tackled with ease. For availing an NRI loan a basic criteria has to be fulfilled and these loans can be used for the purpose of construction, repairing of any kind, buying of plots for residential or commercial purpose etc. With an income of Rs10000 and above any NRI can apply for a loan and the most attractive feature of the NRI loans in India is that the loan can be availed by self and can be made available to others through him/her. A maximum loan of Rs 20 lakhs can be expected by the NRIs in this regard which can be made available through 2 ways either by way of demand or by overdraft. In the former case, the amount is transferred by way of demand to the applicant's account and in the latter case, the applicant is required to open an account in the loan providing bank. When it comes to repayment of the home loans, the banks do not want the borrowers to feel the burden even for a second. Flexible repayment options are available for the repayment of the loans. Home loans are available at the doorstep of the borrowers these days and their dreams can be fulfilled easily without making them feel the burden of repayment. All this is possible even when the real estate prices are touching the sky.

Pandemic decimates grassroots sport, as one in 10 teen girls drop out
This was published 5 months ago
By Caitlin Fitzsimmons
August 2, 2020 — 12.00am
Many teenage girls who played sport before the coronavirus pandemic are not returning this season and experts warn they might drop out permanently.
A survey of 1000 girls aged 11 to 17 found 30 per cent of girls in NSW had lost interest in participating in team sport. The research was commissioned by Suncorp, a sponsor of netball, and did not cover boys.
Northern Suburbs Netball Association manager Glenys Paranihi said about 40 teams had not returned for the shorter winter season in Willoughby.

Ms Paranihi said that was a 10 per cent drop in participation and it would be 20 per cent by the end of the year because the association had cancelled the summer season.
She said worry about the virus was the main reason why girls were not returning.
"It's fear - fear is why they are withdrawing," she said. "Maybe not so much for the kids but more their parents not wanting them to play. In some cases they have underlying health conditions."
She said the numbers could have been a lot worse except that several private girls' schools in the area fielded netball teams in the competition and had not withdrawn. Other areas have been less fortunate - Campbelltown District Netball Association has cancelled its winter season, except for the junior representative programs.
The survey found that 9 per cent of teen girls in NSW were not looking forward to team sports, higher than the 7 per cent national figure.
Of the girls who had lost interest in sport, three out of five said "nothing could be done" to regain their interest. For the two out of five who said they could be enticed back, having their friends also participating would make them look forward to returning as well as if clubs or federations ran a fitness clinic to help them get back into training.
In NSW, the survey found about three in five teen girls watched more television and spent more time on social media and group chats during lockdown, while two out of five participated in other physical activity such as walking, running, cycling, yoga.

Murray Drummond, a research professor in sport, health and physical activity and the director of the Sport, Health, Activity, Performance and Exercise (Shape) Research Centre, said the pandemic would be a pretext for many girls or exacerbating an underlying trend.
Professor Drummond said girls aged 12 to 14 often dropped out of sport because coaches put too much pressure on them to make the sport their number-one extracurricular activity.
"The coach might say we really need you to focus on four or five sessions a week of netball and the girl can't do that, so ultimately they drop out of the sport or they commit to that sport and drop out of the other sport," he said.
Professor Drummond said girls in the 15 to 18 age group were often encouraged to take time off sport to focus on their studies, while boys were expected to juggle both.
"Sport plays a significant role in the way in which masculinity is socially constructed, so there's a belief that boys have to play sports, as opposed to girls," he said.
"What we're also finding is that when the girls take a year off, there's a good chance that one year will become two or three or four."

As part our Grazie series we're taking a closer look at the most exciting artists, designers, chefs and creatives inspired by Italian style. It's a universally accepted fact that Italian food is some of the best in the world – and for food blogger Andrea Sorandis, the taste of Italy is the taste of home. Currently based in London, Andrea creates, writes about and photographs delicious recipes from Italy and the wider world on her fantastic blog, The Petite Cook. To help us celebrate the arrival of summer, we asked Andrea to create a simple and refreshing lemon granita recipe for us – the perfect sweet treat to pair with a cold Peroni Nastro Azzurro. Read below to check out the recipe and discover Andrea's thoughts on summer escapes, her favourite foods and why Italian food is so special.
Hi Andrea. Can you tell us about yourself and what you do?
I grew up in Italy, but I've been living in London for the past ten years. After a long career in the marketing field I realised I loved cooking too much, so I opened my blog The Petite Cook. Here I share all my Italian cooking heritage, my foodie experiences, and my adventures around the world.
What inspired you start The Petite Cook?
A few years ago, I used to be the marketing manager of a recipe app. It was a start-up, so I tried to grow our database by creating as many new recipes as possible. I also started studying cooking techniques and learning more about food in general. Quickly, I completely fell in love with this world, and haven't stopped cooking since. I travel a lot, so I'm mostly inspired by the places I visit, and the place where I grew up, my beloved Italy.
What do you think makes Italian food and dining so special?
I think the special value of Italian food and dining lays within its simplicity, and the amazing quality of the natural products we're lucky to have all around Italy. We cherish our food by sharing it with the people we love, and we love sharing our food with anyone who loves food, so every dining occasion is a real feast.
What are some of your favourite Italian dishes?
My mum's Eggplant Spaghetti Sandwiches (Sicilian Doppiette di Melanzane) are the best thing in the world. They're simple but so unique, you have to try it at least once in your life. Check out the recipe on my blog and you won't be disappointed. Most Italian recipes are made with few simple ingredients, so the secret is to always use the best, freshest ingredients you can find.
Can you tell us a bit about the granita recipe you've created for us?
Growing up in Sicily, granita is a must-have during summertime. Lemon granita has a special place in my heart – it's refreshing, tangy but sweet at the same time, incredibly simple to make and so satisfying to eat on a hot summer day. And it's perfect paired with a cold Peroni for a quick aperitivo!
In a large bowl, stir together the water with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Transfer the lemon mixture into a large metal container, cover and put in the freezer for half an hour.
With the help of a wooden spoon, stir vigorously the lemon mixture to break any ice crystals.
Repeat every 30 min for 2-3 times, or until your granita has reached a velvety sorbet-like texture.
You can alternatively blend the mixture with a hand blender every 30 min.
Describe your perfect Italian summer.
A loud group of friends, a boat-tour of the Aeolian Islands and eating as much local food as possible.
What do you think sets Italian style apart from the rest of the world?
I think it's the effortlessly easy way we approach life, which is reflected in our cooking just as much as in our way of living.

The Mount Sinai Stroke Center is a leader in stroke research and treatment, in the areas of medical therapy for treating and preventing stroke, neurosurgical approaches to stroke prevention, and interventional neuroradiologic procedures for stroke patients.
A major barrier in stroke treatment is the underuse of stroke prevention therapies among minority populations. We have conducted studies to determine the causes of this. We have also evaluated a program to address these causes in patients hospitalized at Mount Sinai and in surrounding communities. We are conducting these studies with the Department of Health Evidence and Policy and with funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, and NINDS.
In conjunction with the Department of Neurosurgery, we are conducting studies, funded by the National Institutes of Health, assessing the efficacy of thrombolytic medication to help dissolve blood clots in patients with intracerebral bleeding.
In collaboration with the Division of Neuroradiology, we are examining the application of new computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques on patients with stroke to provide quicker and more accurate diagnostic and prognostic information.
We are involved in a multicenter cooperative study to determine the safety and efficacy of a high-dose statin medication as a neuroprotective agent in acute ischemic stroke.
The Mount Sinai Health System offers advanced treatment for stroke based upon proven therapies for acute stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage. Learn more about how we are improving the prevention of stroke and recovery.

Hate Speech's Rise on Twitter Under Elon Musk Is Unprecedented, Researchers Find
On Twitter itself, researchers said the increase in hate speech, antisemitic posts and other troubling content had begun before Mr. Musk loosened the service's content rules. That suggested that a further surge could be coming, they said.
More on Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover
An Established Pattern: Firing people. Talking of bankruptcy. Telling workers to be "hard core." Twitter isn't the first company that witnessed Elon Musk use those tactics.
Resolving a 'Misunderstanding': After Mr. Musk accused Apple of threatening to pull Twitter from its App Store, it appears that a potential feud between the tech titans has been avoided.
A 'War for Talent': Seeing misinformation as a possibly expensive liability, several companies are angling to hire former Twitter employees with the expertise to keep it in check.
Unpaid Bills: Mr. Musk and his advisers have scrutinized all types of costs at Twitter, instructing staff to review, renegotiate and in some cases not pay outside vendors at all.
If that happens, it's unclear whether Mr. Musk will have policies in place to deal with problematic speech or, even if he does, whether Twitter has the employees to keep up with moderation. Mr. Musk laid off, fired or accepted the resignations of more than half the company's staff last month, including those who worked to remove harassment, foreign interference and disinformation from the service. Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of trust of safety, was among those who quit.
The Anti-Defamation League, which files regular reports of antisemitic tweets to Twitter and keeps track of which posts are removed, said the company had gone from taking action on 60 percent of the tweets it reported to only 30 percent.
"We have advised Musk that Twitter should not just keep the policies it has had in place for years, it should dedicate resources to those policies," said Yael Eisenstat, a vice president at the Anti-Defamation League, who met with Mr. Musk last month. She said he did not appear interested in taking the advice of civil rights groups and other organizations.
"His actions to date show that he is not committed to a transparent process where he incorporates the best practices we have learned from civil society groups," Ms. Eisenstat said. "Instead he has emboldened racists, homophobes and antisemites."
The lack of action extends to new accounts affiliated with terror groups and others that Twitter previously banned. In the first 12 days after Mr. Musk assumed control, 450 accounts associated with ISIS were created, up 69 percent from the previous 12 days, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank that studies online platforms.
Other social media companies are also increasingly concerned about how content is being moderated on Twitter.

Academy Says Will Smith Was Asked to Leave Oscars And Refused
Matt Singer Published: March 30, 2022
I can't be the only person who, after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face in the middle of the Oscars after Rock told a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head, wondered how Smith was allowed to stay and watch the rest of the show — and then was permitted to get on stage a little while later to collect an Academy Award for Best Actor to a huge standing ovation. Surely if any other person anywhere in the world walked on the stage in the middle of a Chris Rock standup show, slapped him in the face, and returned to their seat, he or she would immediately be escorted out by security, if not arrested.
It's now Wednesday, and while the Academy has released a bunch of statements and apologies about what happened on Sunday night, they have never once said that they attempted to remove Smith from the show. But today the Academy released a statement announcing that they had "initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy's Standards of Conduct," they also claim "that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused."
As part of these disciplinary proceedings, the Board of Governors of the Academy will vote at their next meeting on whether Smith should be punished for his behavior at the Oscars. Potential outcomes of the vote "may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct."
TOPSHOT-US-ENTERTAINMENT-FILM-OSCARS-SHOW
On its face, it's a little hard to believe that the Academy (or their security) asked Will Smith to leave the show and we're just hearing about it now. If they did ask, they certainly didn't ask very forcefully, since he didn't leave and they allowed him to stay and accept his Oscar. Regardless, the Academy's statement claims "we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently." So it's a statement and an understatement.
The Academy's vote on Smith's behavior and potential disciplinary actions will take place on April 18.
UPDATE: Several sites, including Variety and TMZ, are reporting that their "sources" dispute that Smith was "ever formally urged to leave the show." (In TMZ's case, their info comes from "sources with direct knowledge who were present.") So this drama is far from over.

Things You Should Be Doing- Watching 'The Walking Dead'
"The Walking Dead", on AMC, has brought zombie science fiction to an entirely new level. The difference between this and any other zombie show lies in the reality of it all. "The Walking Dead" is far more realistic than any other zombie depiction such as the humorous "Zombieland" or the scary "Night of the Living Dead". While a zombie apocalypse is not realistic in itself, "The Walking Dead" would be a pretty accurate representation of the world if such a situation were to emerge. The show does not focus on horror or humor in the slaying of zombies, but on how a group of people comes together and survives in an apocalyptic environment. It is much more a show of survival and drama than it is of horror.
"The Walking Dead" centers around a group of people that come together at a camp to protect themselves from surrounding zombies or walkers. Eventually the group makes it to a farm that they tend to in order to survive until they are forced to take to the road again. As Season 3 concluded Sunday, March 31, at 6 p.m., the group resided in what used to be a prison. The tall gates and secure facilities serve to keep the walkers out. Throughout the experience, the group must locate supplies such as weapons, gasoline, food, clothes and more. They struggle to keep on as the loss of friends and hardships of life weigh down on them. Currently in the series, their troubles lie with an opposing group of live humans more so than with the actual walkers.
The series manifests the inner change in people when death is frequent, always edging closer. For some, all trust in other humans is lost. Others simply go crazy after being repeatedly tested by cruel hardships. Each show displays the gradual regression of the characters to a near animalistic mental state. Often times those that cling to morality are the most at risk of death by bullet or bite. Love and relationships are what keep the characters going.
The show has a thrilling and well done storyline and is completed with all around terrific acting. Finish your homework early on Sunday so that you can go onto AMC Network at 6 and experience a show that will bring you eagerly back to your couch.

Jack Earl Teele (June 17, 1930 – September 14, 2017) was an American football executive and sportswriter. He served as an executive for thirty-one seasons in the National Football League (NFL), including twenty-one with the Los Angeles Rams and ten with the San Diego Chargers, and two in the World League of American Football (WLAF) with the Barcelona Dragons.

Early life and education
Jack Teele was born on June 17, 1930, in Bloomington, Illinois. His family moved to Long Beach, California, in 1941. He was known for being one of the first students in the city to attend all levels of education there, having graduated from Garfield Elementary School, Washington Junior High, Long Beach Polytechnic High School, Long Beach City College, and Long Beach State University. He was a member of the Long Beach State men's basketball team, and played in their first ever season.

While a member of Long Beach City College in 1949, Teele started a sportswriting career with The Independent. After his graduation from college, he spent two years in the Army Intelligence, including thirteen months in Japan. He returned to United States in 1954, starting a local sports column in The Independent titled "Sports About Town". From 1958 to 1959, he covered the Los Angeles Rams in the newspaper.

Executive career

Los Angeles Rams
In , Teele was hired by the Los Angeles Rams as the director of publicity, replacing Bert Rose who became general manager of the Minnesota Vikings.

In the mid-1960s, Teele coined the phrase "Fearsome Foursome", to refer the Rams defensive line consisting of Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen, Lamar Lundy, and Rosey Grier. "Everywhere we went, people asked me about our defensive line," Teele said in 2013. "So I decided we had to have a name." He nicknamed them the "Fearsome Foursome", and the name "immediately stuck," he said.

In , Teele had helped organize the first Super Bowl, booking the American Football League (AFL) champion Kansas City Chiefs into the Edgewater Hotel in Long Beach. He also secured the team practice space at Veterans Memorial Stadium, the sports field of Long Beach State University.

After serving nine seasons in the position of publicity director, owner Dan Reeves named him "assistant to the president", a position that had Teele second in command of the franchise. He succeeded Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch, who had become the director of athletics at the University of Wisconsin.

In , Teele was given the position of general manager, while retaining his job of assistant to the president. The Rams compiled a record of 9–4–1 that year, but missed the playoffs. Reeves, who Teele described as "the finest man I ever knew", died in 1971, and Teele was replaced by William Barnes as general manager, though he still remained with the team as the assistant to the president.

Later in the year, Long Beach State University named Teele its annual "alumnus of the year".

After the death of Dan Reeves, the Rams ownership shifted to Carroll Rosenbloom, who changed the position of Teele to "administrative assistant". In that role, he was in charge of the team's travel, room and food arrangements, and "myriad other details during training camp and the season." He remained in that position through the 1977 season, before being named vice president of administration in . He served as vice president of administration from 1978 to , before resigning in March . He served with the Rams under three different owners, six head coaches, and "umpteen different quarterbacks" during his twenty-one year stint with the organization.

San Diego Chargers
Shortly after resigning as Rams vice president of administration, Teele accepted an offer from the San Diego Chargers as assistant to the owner. He served in that position from  to  before becoming assistant to the president in . He was reported as team vice president in . He returned to his role of assistant to the president in , before being named Director of Administration in . In , he helped the Chargers acquire Hank Ilesic, and the North County Times reported his time "was well spent". He was fired by Chargers owner Alex Spanos in January .

Barcelona Dragons
After being let go by the Chargers, Teele became the chief executive officer of the Barcelona Dragons, a team in the newly formed World League of American Football (WLAF). He later served as their general manager in 1992 before the league suspended. He subsequently retired.

Death
Teele died on September 14, 2017, at the age of 87.

Inspired by the story of P. T. Barnum, a skilled entrepreneur and self-made showman who blew up the front pages of New York newspapers with his tricks, the first-time director Michael Gracey retells the tale of the man who deceived the crowds to their pleasure and outrage. Although it's quite a spectacle graced by big choruses and well-known names, it's not always as provocative as it wants to be, trading the aura of scandal for blind earnestness and, in effect, a lot of sequin-topped simplifications.
If you expect a biopic supercharged by songs, you've probably picked a wrong film; the skeleton of the story will be enough to draft a sugar-coated portrait of P. T. Barnum and will probably prompt you to read more about him soon. But The Greatest Showman isn't preoccupied with the details and claims its creative license whenever possible: it's inspired by his biography, not dedicated to recreating it, and that comes with consequences.
A whole lot of liberties are taken along the way, and you might find yourself questioning little things down the line, not necessarily related to his story. Would a tailor's son be literate at the end of 19th century, and therefore able to exchange letters with an upper-class girl? How come the bank didn't double-check his collateral before proceeding with the loan? Why does the greatest showman continuously strive to appeal to only one "joyless critic" in the entire New York? And how much does opera have in common with pop powerhouse ballads? It's up to you to decide if you subscribe to it – and at the end of the day, it's an interpretation and not a hagiographical study, so it's much easier to turn a blind eye to unexpected inconsistencies.
Without a doubt, it's a bold, glamourous and glitzy film, with grand choreographies set out to solid music. It's confident it can pull off the humbug like Barnum would – with a spectator willing to commit to its self-assured, glitter-sprinkled nonsense, it can be a grand success. And that somewhat captures the public image of the man who tricked people into believing his fabrications without dwelling on his darker deeds: it's an unapologetic success story, but one that refuses to sell you interesting character progression either.
Considering that the film tries to talk about the controversies that self-expression can bring, it's quite sterile and unchallenging at tackling them. It plants a couple of ideas in the story – it talks about unity regardless of one's background or appearance, breaking the rules or brightening people's lives with art and optimism in the face of outrage – but it's never provocative enough (Moulin Rouge comes to mind here as an opposite) to make us consider them outside of an average human being's moral compass. It gets even more muddled in the light of the era the events are set in: the times surely weren't mature enough to accept some of the ideas we don't find shocking anymore, but the movie struggles to communicate that, happily ignoring the traits of the entire time period that could easily amplify it.
Following the happy-go-lucky leading man, so much purity and virtue present itself in this fictional world that you'd actually believe some people pay the bills with happiness. Unfortunately, it allows some of the characters, such as Barnum's wife Charity or the entire circus troupe, to drip with saccharine because of missing character traits; when a meek journalist becomes the face of the snobbish upper class, you know that even the classic "bad versus evil" theme was underutilised.
The cast are finding their feet easily in this musical: Hugh Jackman has an insane flair for musical theatre and a lot of experience in it, so he knows exactly what to do to create his protagonist, even if it's hardly an original one. Michelle Williams as his wife is utterly charming too, even if she certainly deserved a more complex heroine. Zac Efron and Zendaya also get fun parts, possibly the most exciting ones in the entire film. One of the most interestingly written personas is that of Jenni Lind, played by Rebecca Ferguson: she searches for something she could never obtain, cons the upper-class world with the understanding of it she gained on her way to fame, and allows her imagination to run wild only to deepen her own suffering in the end. She also feels the most human of them all: she's not perfect, but her reactions are the most natural.
It'd help if the pacing of the film wasn't so uneven either: the film starts off quite slowly, then speeds up to cram as many events as possible into the plot. Because Barnum's problems seem really minor in the streak of his countless successes, the storyline feels fairly flat, too. And both of these concerns result in the ending that bursts like a bubble: when a lot of complications ensue, they're cheerfully swept under the carpet or magically solved, and never spoken of again.
The film boasts an original soundtrack from the award-winning Paul-Pasek duo: from the very first minutes and The Greatest Show, we know it's dedicated to entertaining with powerful, grand, modern-sounding pop tunes. Never Enough is a true heartbreaker, and This Is Me becomes a triumphant, inspirational anthem of embracing one's flaws. Rewrite the Stars, and particularly the choreography from Zendaya and Efron that's paired with the number, also provides for one of the best moments of the film.
Consequently, The Greatest Showman experience largely depends on your personal perception. If you're willing to tag along and be tricked by its grandeur and confidence, never expecting anything beyond the commercial musical, it'll turn out to be truly innocent fun. If you're ready to challenge its reality, it might not be for you – but as Charity Barnum said, "You don't need the whole world to love you," and this film doesn't care in the slightest about what you think of it.
The Greatest Showman opens in the UK on the 26th of December 2017.

Brandy Butler
Pop, Zürich – After twenty years as an all-around musician working for other artists, Brandy Butler has finally chosen to go it alone. Her debut album as a solo... Read Biography
After twenty years as an all-around musician working for other artists, Brandy Butler
has finally chosen to go it alone. Her debut album as a solo artist is the declaration of
a non-conformist. With disarming honesty and a level of emotional vulnerability so
rarely experienced in today's modern music world, Ms. Butler uses her dynamic skills
as a storyteller to weave a Sagen: the emotionally cathartic, true story of a love that
eventually became unrequited. The performance is raw and exposed and unfiltered,
and where this is usually defined as qualities of weakness in a person, Ms. Butler's
candidness translates into a phenomenally strong performance.
«The Inventory of Goodbye» can confidently compare itself with works like those of
Frank Ocean, Lianne La Havas or Michael Kiwanuka
Originally from the Detroit-esque city ruins of Reading, Pa., Ms. Butler has spent the
last twenty years of her life creating a name for herself as an artist throughout Europe.
To define her has always been a difficult task. She is known well for her ability to
seamlessly and effectively assume many roles: Jazz Flutist, Background Singer, Storyteller,
Actress, Performance artist, Multi-Instrumentalist, Community activist.
Ms. Butler's primary tool as an artist has always been a grand voice: an unspooling
aural canvas on which she paints the outsize emotions of love, romance and feeling
terribly alive.
Yet with her latest recording something has changed.
The first solo album of the career long musician and singer extraordinaire is a song-cycle
built in the real-life aftermath of whirlwind romance that couldn't hold its center. The experience
seems to have transformed something within her large beautiful voice and rocked
it to its core.
On «The Inventory of Goodbye» Ms. Butler welcomes us into her psyche. She takes us
with on a journey to the farthest corners and the bleakest places that align with the contrasts
of heartbreak and forgiveness.
«I tell stories that implore your emotional presence. I ask you to feel with me. This intense
calling of the listener to emotionally participate in the artistic experience on such
an honest level, lies on the outskirts of what my contemporary colleagues are doing. I
am going back to the place where the bard or the griot uses a story to help one's self,
as well as the members of the community, to connect to the understanding of our individual
and collective human potential». Because of this extremely personal and connected
way of approaching the artistic experience, especially in the age of digital isolation,
there is one word that stands in the foreground in defining Ms. Butler: Outlier.
Outlier is the exception, the escape, the isolated experience. In Malcom Gladwell's
book «Outlier's» he says "Achievement is talent plus preparation." The sum of Ms.
Butler's many experiences in so many genres and instruments has prepared her for
this moment where her talent eclipses even from the outing corners of the modern pop
The 11 songs on «The Inventory of Goodbye» are carried by Brandy Butler's extraordinary
and pliable voice. She alternately reminds us of Nina Simone, Etta James
or Courtney Barnett. Recorded In Berlin, the songs came together while Ms. Butler
was on retreat in the New Mexico's Mojave desert and the desert infiltrates the recording's
character, whether summoning the sounds of the Saharan guitarists of Mali or the
long, twangy lines often used to conjure images of long barren desert highways.
There's a spare, austere quality that permeates the songs' instrumental backing as
well, underlining the immediacy of the emotions in play.
The sun-drenched production and arrangements are varied but focused, allowing Ms.
Butler's voice to sometimes spar and parry with a single instrument, or giving her vocals
a highlight of color supplied by an emerging keyboard or a guitar whose tone has been
distorted by the desert heat. The songs themselves are unfussy marvels of concise pop
construction; as personal as Ms. Butler makes them feel, it is easy to imagine these
songs living on in the hands of others.
Naturally Brandy Butler has chosen the Crème de la Crème of the Swiss Music Scene
for her band The Brokenhearted. On the Guitar is Robin Girod from Geneva, who is
the frontman of the renowned Cajun-Rock 'n' Roll-Band Mama Rosin or Duck Duck
Grey Duck. On drums is Domi Chansorn, a Muli-Instrumentalist whose unique musical
fingerprint can be found as well with acts such as Fai Baba, Evelinn Trouble or
Bounce. Lastly is Rodrigo Avarena on Bass. Born in Chile and raised in Australia,
Avarena has toured the world with stadium acts such as Men at Work and Ricky Martin.
In it's live incarnation, Brandy Butler and the Brokenhearted, the music becomes life. In
the presentation of the new album "The Inventory of Goodbye" the band showers the audience
with musicality, energy and passion. They pull the listeners to the ends of the
emotional and auditory spectrum, imploring each person to let the pulse of the story run
in every corner of their body. With an honesty that is really rarely achieved in the modern
music world, this is not just pop: This is art.

L.A. County officials report continued decline in COVID-19 cases as they urge vaccinations for children
Posted by: admin Categories: Coronavirus
Comments Off on L.A. County officials report continued decline in COVID-19 cases as they urge vaccinations for children
Los Angeles County officials on Sunday reported 240 new coronavirus cases and seven new related deaths, reflecting the continuing decline in the spread of infection as the local vaccination campaign builds.
Just over half of L.A. County residents have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine thus far, amounting to a total of 8.7 million doses administered, according to The Times' tracker. This is slightly more than the 47% of Americans nationwide who have received at least one dose.
But as demand for vaccination begins to wane, health officials are pushing for parents to bring their children to get immunized, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children ages 12 to 15.
There are 2.1 million Californians in that age range, and vaccinating this group could significantly slow the pandemic, experts say. In recent weeks, coronavirus cases have been increasing among younger people, both in California and nationally.
The Pfizer vaccine requires two doses spaced three weeks apart and permission from a guardian. COVID-19 vaccines are free and available to anyone regardless of insurance or immigration status.
Officials say increasing vaccinations will protect children from falling sick with the virus and infecting others, and will help the effort to achieve herd immunity. Vaccinating adolescents will also help protect children 11 and younger, including babies and toddlers, who are not likely to get access to the vaccine for months.
Additionally, the vaccines will protect youth from a rare but serious and potentially deadly complication associated with COVID-19 known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C.
The syndrome can cause inflammation in a child's body parts, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or gastrointestinal organs. Of the 508 MISC-C cases in California, 21 have resulted in deaths, including two in L.A. County.
L.A. officials also reported Sunday that 325 people were in the hospital with COVID-19, a significant drop from a peak of more than 8,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in January during the region's winter surge.
The virus has receded rapidly across the region in the last few months, allowing a broad reopening of the economy and the hope for a return to some kind of normality by the summer.
California is now close to the bottom of the nation when it comes to coronavirus case rates. With increasing vaccinations, officials estimate that the county could reach herd immunity — with around 80% of the population eligible for vaccinations immunized — by July.
Times staff writer Rong-Gong Lin II contributed to this report.
