Consider three scenarios: First, a nursing home employee repeatedly sexually assaults and batters an elderly resident who suffers from dementia and is incapable of protecting herself. Second, an assisted living employee rapes an elderly resident in the bedroom of her locked apartment. Third, a nursing home employee misuses a mechanical lift to transfer a patient from her bed to a wheelchair, dropping the suspended patient over four feet to the hard tile floor and causing extensive fractures.
Now, assume that the Minnesota Department of Health investigates each of the three scenarios and determines that either neglect or abuse occurred in each case. Assume further that the employees in the first two scenarios plead guilty to criminal sexual assault. Also assume that the medical expenses for the fracture injuries in the third scenario exceed $100,000, a significant portion paid by Medicare and Medicaid. Finally, assume that the injured persons in each of these scenarios dies a year after the tort from causes unrelated to the wrongful conduct (e.g., caner or congestive heart failure).
What happens to their tort claims after they die? Under current Minnesota law, the tort claims for personal injuries in the above scenarios abate with the death of these injured persons. Consequently, the tortfeasors enjoy an unjustified, fortuitous windfall. The wrongdoers will not be held accountable for the harm they cause. The government or health insurer will not recoup any of the payments made for medical care ca used by the tortfeasors’ wrongful conduct. The wrong will never be made right. In effect, Minnesota law denies its citizens a just remedy that is allowed in nearly every other jurisdiction.
Minnesota’s abatement statute inherently encourages defense interests to use strategic delay tactics when defending against a significant tort claim involving an elderly plaintiff. If successful, the defense can drag out the case long enough until the already medically-compromised plaintiff dies, thereby relieving their client from any responsibility for the harm caused by their client’s wrongful conduct.
During the winter and spring of 2008, employees of a southern Minnesota nursing home repeatedly neglected and sexually, emotionally, and physically abused elderly residents at the facility. Criminal charges were brought against two of the nursing home employees in December 2008. Civil law suits were filed in state court on behalf of four of the nursing home residents in January 2010. Two months later, the U.S. Attorney intervened and removed the case from state court to federal court after the plaintiffs had requested a court order directing the Minnesota Department of Health to produce its investigation file. The plaintiffs were finally able to remand the case to state court in May 2010. Following the delay caused by the federal government’s intervention, in August 2010 the state court granted the defendants’ motion to stay the civil proceedings pending resolution of the criminal cases, over the plaintiffs’ opposition. At the same time, the trial court denied the plaintiffs’ motion to expedite the case. Several extensions were granted in the criminal cases, which further delayed the plaintiffs’ access to discovery in the civil case.
Before their civil cases were resolved, three plaintiffs passed away from unrelated causes in the summer and fall of 2010. The trial court dismissed the three cases due to the abatement of their claims under Minn. Stat. § 573.01. With the dismissal of the civil actions, and the threat of civil liability now behind them, the defendants facing criminal charges then entered pleas to conclude the criminal charges against them.
Unlike Minnesota, forty-five states permit the injury claim to continue after the injured person’s death from unrelated causes. Arkansas statutory law provides an example: For wrongs done to the person or property of another, an action may be maintained against a wrongdoer, and the action may be brought by the person injured or, after his or her death, by his or her executor or administrator against the wrongdoer or, after the death of the wrongdoer, against the executor or administrator of the wrongdoer, in the same manner and with like effect in all respects as actions founded on contracts. Joining Minnesota in the minority, Colorado, Idaho, and Indiana preclude a recovery of damages for the injured person’s pain and suffering if the injured person dies from unrelated causes. In addition, Arizona generally disallows survival of a pain and suffering claim, but unlike Minnesota, Arizona has an elder abuse statute that expressly provides to victims of elder abuse and their representatives the right to recover damages for pain and suffering, even after the abused victim’s death from unrelated causes.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has described the abatement statute this way: “The old rule of non-survival was based on medieval notions of revenge that no longer have a place in our law[.]” Thompson v. Petroff’s Estate, 319 N.W.2d 400, 407 (Minn. 1982). While analyzing Minnesota’s abatement statute, the Supreme Court has stated that “when an old rule is found no longer to serve the needs of society, it should be set aside and replaced with one that reflects the interests and the will of the people and the demands of justice.” Id. The Minnesota Supreme Court has stated, “Under modern tort theory, the primary reason for the existence of a cause of action is to provide a means of compensation for the injured victim.” Id. The Supreme Court has also repeatedly stated that “the fundamental purposes of tort law” are “deterrence and compensation.” Dickhoff ex rel. Dickhoff v. Green, 836 N.W.2d 321, 336- 37 (Minn. 2013), citing Pletan v. Gaines, 494 N.W.2d 38, 42 (Minn.1992) (explaining that “[t]ort liability seeks to compensate the injured and to deter wrongdoing”). Over thirty years ago, the Supreme Court recognized Iowa’s survival statute, “which provides for the survival of all causes of action,” as “the better rule of law because it acknowledged the ‘essentially compensatory’ nature of tort causes of action.” Id.
Minnesota’s antiquated abatement statute undermines important objectives of modern remedial statutes. For example, Minnesota’s Vulnerable Adult Act (“VAA”) states that “the public policy of this state is to protect adults who, because of physical or mental disability or dependency on institutional services, are particularly vulnerable to maltreatment.” Yet, the abatement statute subverts the remedial policy objectives of the VAA by encouraging wrongdoers to engage in stalling tactics and relieving wrongdoers from civil accountability. By contrast, as mentioned above, even Arizona, which generally disallows survival of a pain and suffering claim, allows the recovery of pain and suffering damages for victims of elder abuse after the abused victim dies.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals has recognized “that some courts, including the Minnesota Supreme Court, have questioned the continuing justification for abating personal-injury claims upon the death of a party.” Butts ex rel. Iverson v. Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Soc., 802 N.W.2d 839, 843 (Minn. App. 2011), rev. denied (Oct. 26, 2011). But, even though the Supreme Court has “characterize[ed] abatement of personal-injury claims as a remnant of the early common law inconsistent with modern tort-law trends,” the Court of Appeals “is bound to apply it ‘because the’ task of extending existing law falls to the supreme court or the legislature[.]” Id.
The existing abatement law is unjust. No reasonable justification exists for allowing wrongdoers the fortuitous avoidance of liability. The law encourages wrongdoers to avoid liability by prolonging litigation until the claim abates with the victim’s unrelated death. Now is the time for our legislature to repeal the abatement statute and allow personal injury actions to survive an injured party’s death.

A disclosure and barring service (DBS) check helps employers make safer recruitment decisions; however, in general practice, it is mandatory that certain members of staff – all clinical staff, for example – have a DBS. The following guidance is provided by the Care and Quality Commission (CQC), and outlines who should have a disclosure and barring service (DBS) check?
safeguard service users from abuse.
The following key line of enquiry (KLOE) S1.4 considers how safety is promoted in recruitment practice – including ongoing checks such as DBS checks.
Have processes in place for undertaking criminal record checks at the appropriate level for staff who require them.
Assess the different responsibilities and activities of staff to determine if they are eligible for a DBS check and to what level.
Recognise the eligibility for checks, and at what level, depends on the roles and responsibilities of the job and not the individual being recruited. This is based on the level of contact staff have with patients, particularly children and vulnerable adults.
The guidance above has been agreed with the British Medical Association (BMA), the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), the National Clinical Assessment Service (NCAS) and the Medical Defence Union (MDU).
CQC does not decide who is eligible for a DBS check or not. We look at whether suitable procedures are in place and that checks are being carried out appropriately.
contact the Disclosure and Barring Service.
Guidance states that all clinical staff require a DBS check.
You might also like... Is technology driving efficiency in your practice – or, could it do more?
GPs should have had criminal records checks completed as part of their Performers List checks. In some cases, practices may use these checks rather than obtaining an additional DBS check when the GP begins working for the practice. If so the practice should be able to demonstrate they have suitable assurance from NHS England that an appropriate check has been completed.
Access to medical records alone does not mean that non-clinical staff need to receive a DBS check.
Non-clinical staff who carry out chaperone duties may require a DBS check due to the nature of these duties and the level of patient contact.
Non-clinical staff who supervise a baby or child whilst their parent or carer is having an appointment will require a DBS check.
If a practice decides not to carry out a DBS check for any non-clinical staff they need to provide a clear rationale for the decision. This should, include an appropriate risk assessment.
DBS advise that there is no general requirement to repeat checks for staff that remain employed if there is no change in their place or terms of work. It is up to the employer to decide if and when a new check is needed. Practices should be able to provide evidence that they have appropriately considered where new checks are needed. This includes carrying out risk assessments to support the decision.

Is Activation “Seeking System” Dependent?
Jaak Panksepp, the father of Affective Neuroscience, is a very interesting “pioneer” intrigued by the neuro-scientific underpinnings of both human and animal emotional responses.
He has written a fascinating book with a slightly daunting title, The Archaeology of Mind: Neuroevolutionary Origins of Human Emotion.
Don’t let that stop you. It’s an “accessible to more of the general public” version of ideas he put forward in his considerably more “academic” offering entitled, Affective Neuroscience, published in 1998.
This long-awaited second publication is his updated attempt to share his life’s work – since the 1960s – the results of his cruelty-free animal experiments that led to identifying what he calls the seven networks of emotion in the brain: SEEKING, RAGE, FEAR, LUST, CARE, PANIC/GRIEF, and PLAY.
Those of you who are also regular readers of Discover Magazine may recognize Panksepp’s name from Pamela Weintraub’s feature article on “the rat tickler” entitled Humanity’s 7 Primal Emotions from the May 2012 issue.
Readers who were smart enough to start listening to The Brain Science Podcast when I first introduced it (or to download the pdf transcripts) might have been treated to three different samplings of Dr. Ginger Campbell’s excellent interviews of Panksepp (one a “replay” of an interview from her other podcast, Books and Ideas).
You will learn that Panksepp decided, after mapping “brain firing” in laboratory animals for decades, that he could come to no conclusion other than the acceptance of the reality that humans and animals share a similar emotional make-up.
An idea not always embraced by some of his scientific colleagues, he believes that his work proves that his seven networks of emotion in the brain are common to ALL mammals, great and small.
Those of us who have lived closely with our furry friends probably needed no convincing anyway.
You would never be able to convince most of us that our animals do NOT have emotions! But you know most of those science-types — skepticism is in their DNA. Until something is proven scientifically, journal-published and replicated, it’s merely an unsupported theory.
Panksepp is a rare and outspoken voice in the science field, I suspect only partly as a result of his many years of experience exploring the neuro-similarity between human and animal emotional responses. He calls for respect for the reality that animals DO feel, not only pain, but emotions like fear, anger, loneliness, caring, grief, excitement and joy.
He is a long-term ethics advocate as a result. He champions kindness, and urges the field to rethink the way that laboratory experiments are designed. He knows from experience that it is possible to develop methods that do not cause animals pain and undue distress, yet continue to get credible results from valuable and much needed animal research.
There’s a lot more to love about Panksepp’s work — click the links I have provided below to find out for yourselves.
THIS article, however, is going to give you just enough background to begin to explore the first of his seven primal emotions: SEEKING – because I think it provides a clue to our struggles with ACTIVATION.
Review Part I first: Procrastination and Task Anxiety – or the “Mr. Amygdalla” comments & “certainty and cognitive dissonance” info will be half as effective as they could be.
In a youthful “neurotypical” brain, inputs from the outer world (i.e., through our senses) seem to be recorded with some kind of tagging for sequence, in some fashion science doesn’t exactly understand yet.
That makes it fairly easy for them to call all the bits back and line them up at showtime — for example, when attempting to stay tracked on the threads of a conversation, facilitating dialogue in ways that “make sense” in terms of what is said in response to what, as well as when various pearls of wisdom get dropped onto the conversational ping pong table.
For those of us with Executive Functioning challeges – not so much!
When our attention wanders, our brain’s do what all brains do with incomplete pictures: they fill in the holes with what they expect to find there, based on what’s in its “files” of past experience.
The human brain is nothing so much as a pattern recognition machine – a puzzle put-together champ of the highest order.
A tiered task is one where you need to “insert tab A into slot B”, but first you need to insert some other tab into some other slot — which you can’t do until you insert still another tab into still another slot.
That’s it! Most people with attentional challenges can stay tracked for about three “tiers” before they begin to hear the warning signals of impending Boggle and run screaming to avoid it!

George Sand to Pauline Viardot: "Great, grandissime news, little Chip Chip performs huuuuge concert. […] He finally got convinced." However, she adds that Chopin "doesn’t want any posters, no programme, no crowd, he doesn’t want people to talk about him. So many things frighten him, that I suggest he should perform without candles, without people, on a mute piano."
Fryderyk Chopin performed in the Pleyel salon on April 26 together with Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst, violinist, and Laura Damoreau-Cinti, singer. Chopin performed preludes, mazurkas, Ballade in F major, Scherzo in C-sharp minor, etudes and nocturnes. In the audience there were among others: Adam Mickiewicz, Stefan Witwicki, and Franz Liszt, Hector Berlioz, Heinrich Heine and Eugène Delacroix. Later George Sand wrote to Hyppolyte Chatiron: "In two hours, with his two hands, he earned six thousand Franks among ovation, encores, and pattering of the prettiest ladies in Paris."

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, whether you want to learn Italian for business or pleasure, we can help you improve your language skills at a level that suits your needs - in a friendly, informal and lively atmosphere that is totally Italian.
Our classes are conducted exclusively in Italian and provide training in all the basic communication skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing – accompanied by a systematic study of grammar. Through this approach, the student plays a central role by learning through pair and group work, as well as role play. The teacher acts as the facilitator of communication.
The linguistic levels adhere to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ratified by the Council of Europe. This ensures uniformity and consistency of teaching in line with other language institutions worldwide.
Our group language programme consists of 12 courses of 32 hours each. The minimum number of students required in order to form a class is six, with a maximum of 12. It is recommended that students undertake a brief evaluation test in order to determine their competence level and hence be placed in the appropriate class.
Courses are held in Cape Town (at our premises in Gardens and at the Italian Club in Milnerton), Stellenbosch and Port Elizabeth.
Beginners A1.1 and Beginners A1.2 focus on the use of social interaction in familiar contexts.
Elementary A2.1 and Elementary A2.2 focus on more advanced use of social interaction in familiar contexts.
Programme: language structure, reading and dictation, short compositions, conversation on everyday matters, video and audio comprehension.
Intermediate B1.1 and Intermediate B1.2 focus on spoken and written communication beyond familiar situations.
Programme: language structure, reading, dictation, composition, conversation, video and audio comprehension.
Upper intermediate B2.1 and Upper intermediate B2.2 focus on spoken and written communication beyond familiar situations for those students who already have a good grasp of the language.

If there's one theme slots developers constantly go back to like a comfy old armchair, it's the world of ancient Egypt.
Whether it's the mega-popular Egyptian history-based Book of Ra series from Novomatic, or IGT's fun take on the theme, Crocodopolis, as long as there are online slots there will be online slots about the Pharaohs, Great Pyramids and mummies.
The Hunt for Buried Treasure Is On!
Not wanting to be left behind, Gamesys's release, Valley of the Kings - a 5-reel, 50-payline slot - sees you on the hunt for ancient buried treasures as you delve into the catacombs.
As for the graphics, it's what you'd expect from a slot set in Egypt: plenty of gold and stone everywhere, and Tutankhamen's head, golden ankhs and birds, and the usual 9-through-Ace card symbols adorning the reels. In the background are some nice echo-y tomb noises for atmosphere.
The long sarcophagus symbol is the game's Wild and substitutes for all symbols other than the Scatter. As the sarcophagus covers the entire reel, and only part of the symbol is needed to activate it as a Wild, it can lead to regular wins.
The Valley of the Kings game logo acts as the game's Scatter. Three or more of those on the reels activates the free spins round, where up to 10 can be won.
During each free spin, getting any part of the sarcophagus in a column will make it expand to fill the entire reel, meaning you can bag even more cash. Get another three Scatters during the free spins and you can get yourself another 10 free spins!
While most slots with an Expanding Wild feature it during the base game rather than just the bonus round, I'd have liked to have seen that happen here.
As it is, Valley of the Kings is diverting enough for Egyptian theme fans and probably worth a punt for everyone else looking for quick, regular wins.

Travis said the little puffs might be filled with cheese but not goat cheese. Danny said, no they are filled with butter! I put the whole thing in my mouth only to announce that it was definitely goat cheese, which I do not care for...and I didn't even have any water to wash it down!!
My Filet of Beef with Foie Gras on top which I promptly took off! Travis nibbled on it and was convinced that it tasted like Pistachios...I wasn't even going to see if he was correct.
This photo doesn't look very good, but this was Danny's chicken stuffed with Neufchatel cheese and wrapped in bacon with a wine and cream sauce. It was wonderful!
I was the only one who didn't choose the house sampler. I chose chocolate ganache cake which I thought would be an actual cake and instead was a "cake" of ganache. I might as well have been eating a plate of frosting. It was fabulous!!!
Danny, Travis, and I went to Marie-Noelle's apartment to say goodbye and pick up Edna and Renee. Marie-Noelle gave Danny directions to Bayeux and a recommendation for lunch along the way. We had some difficulty actually getting out of Le Mans and headed toward Bayeux, but thanks to Google Maps, we got on the right path and there were no more navigation problems. We stopped for lunch in the beautiful town of Argentan. We ate lunch at Bar de l'Ouest which is located near the train station. Danny, Edna, and Renee had the lunch special which was Beef Bourguignon with potatoes. We remembered that Marguerite always served hers with noodles because she said she ate so many potatoes during the war that she didn't care for them very much. Travis has been patiently waiting for an opportunity to eat a Croque Monsieur and today was the day. I just had my usual steak and frites, nothing special. On our way out of town, we were looking for an ATM and found the ATM as well as a patisserie. We bought a sweet to eat during our drive. Our hotel in Bayeux is Le Lion d'Or where we have stayed many times when we visit Bayeux. It is a beautiful old hotel in downtown Bayeux. We have all stayed here at one time or another with Danny's parents so it still holds very special memories. We also have special memories of walking the streets with Ta Ta Renee as this was her home after her mother died. Danny and I have a room on the third floor and this hotel does not have an elevator! Needless to say, the bags get heavier and heavier as you make your way up the stairs. Danny, Edna, Renee and I went for a walk around the town and found the Cathedral Notre Dame Bayeux which none of us had ever seen. Ta Ta Renee would show us her Cathedral view from her window when we would come to visit her, but we had never seen the actual Cathedral. It is beautiful! It was undergoing restoration while we were there and you could tell which windows had been cleaned and restored and which ones had not once you were inside. After viewing the Cathedral, we walked back toward the hotel. The Maison Lemoisson Patisserie-Chocolaterie caught our eye as we walked by and we just had to try the Saint-ESE which is a specialty of Bayeux (at least according to this store). It is described as a tender Almond Meringue with Vanilla Crème and Nougat. Edna thought it tasted like cotton candy and I thought it was like eating a cloud of crispy sugar! Marie-Noelle came to join us on the train from Le Mans and Marie-Francoise picked her up at the train station and brought her to the hotel to lead us to Ton Ton Jean and Ta Ta Mimi's home to visit before dinner. Ta Ta Mimi met us at the door and once again many tears were shed. When Ta Ta Mimi saw us, we think she said in French that she saw Marguerite in all of the children and it brought back memories to her. She patted her heart and we all felt the same. Ton Ton Jean brought Ta Ta Renee to us and once again there were tears. We see so much of Marguerite in all of her sisters and we miss her even more when we visit them. Ta Ta Renee remembers visiting America and all of her nieces and nephews, but she has difficulty remembering their names. She definitely remembers “running” after a little boy who would tell her to “go back to France” and they called him “Stinker”. Well, that would be Travis! The memories are there, but the names have to be repeated. It is not a problem though and we enjoy the visiting. Introductions were made and Edna and Renee showed them the film that Edna had made from an old video that has their Mama and Papa in it. We then showed them this blog which has pictures of their sister, Francois. It was a sweet time. We then drove way out in the country to the town of Crepon. The restaurant is named La Ranconniere and is an old farm from the 15th century and also a hotel. It is a long time favorite of Ton Ton Jean. Marie-Helene and her husband Albert met us with two of their children, Noami (13), and Alice (8). Their son, Carontan (14) is in boarding school and was unable to join us. We had such a good meal and a great visit with the Saulnier family. Our memories of Bayeux are so precious to us and we teased Ton Ton Jean and cousin Marie-Francois that on THIS trip, they did not have to take us to the American Cemetery or Mt. St. Michel! We thought they would be relieved, but they almost seemed disappointed. Ton Ton Jean said it is an opportunity to visit these places and is always happy to take us. The evening once again was a late one and we have a train to catch in the morning so we said our goodbyes at the restaurant and came back to the hotel for sleep. Until tomorrow!

LA with Rebecca Skinner: “With a little hustle, anything is possible”.
If anyone knows LA, it's New Zealand born Rebecca Skinner. Originally from Auckland, Rebecca moved to LA 30 years ago, and is today the Co-Founder and Executive Producer of Superprime Films. Working across the film, entertainment and music worlds, Rebecca has worked with the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Jay Z, David LaChapelle, Nike, Apple and Google and is a regular industry contributor - In 2019 she is the Jury President of the prestigious Cannes Lions Festival Film Craft award. We spoke to Rebecca about creative life in LA, the ever changing entertainment industry and her inside playbook for the city.
Initially, I moved for a guy who I met on a commercial I did in New Zealand. That did not last, but I’m grateful it lead me to the place where I now call home.
When I first came to LA it was hard. I was very homesick, and missed my family and friends. I would say work is what kept me here, and over the years as I’ve made my own friends and family it’s become home, even though my roots will always be in New Zealand.
It depends. Window if it is a night flight and either if it is a day flight where I am working.
From Auckland to LA. Above: The cityscape of Auckland, NZ. Image by Henry McIntosh. Below: Flight over Los Angeles. Image by Jeremy Bishop. Image top of page by Rebecca’s husband, photographer Stuart Pettican.
LA is full of opportunity and therefore can be what you want to make it. With a little hustle, anything is possible. That is inspiring in itself. It is not a lazy city and you certainly do not have the excuses that other cities may give with the great weather and countless things to do. There are always interesting things happening with culture, art and food. It is full of opportunity and drive. It is a very positive, thriving city, and I think in the time I have been here it has only become more so.
The West Coast may become the new Madison Avenue. Many of the agencies have now opened up here and New York no longer feels like it is dominating. Obviously the tech companies have been a huge part of the growth of content and therefore creativity in that space as well. It’s a very exciting time for us.
I think our world has become pretty narcissistic, so honestly I think people are more interested in talking about what they do than asking what you do. Personally, I am a pretty curious person and would rather ask about what others do professionally and personally. If anything I may ask too many questions. My husband typically cuts me off on the questions quota early in the day.
Hiking is the perfect way to start the day, and in LA the weather is typically favorable for it. I love to hike up Benedict Canyon right behind my house with our dog.
Above: Rebecca at the Cannes Lions Festival, France. Below: Rebecca with her daughter in Los Angeles. Images courtesy Rebecca Skinner.
When I arrived in LA and started driving, there were no Waze or Google Maps at that time, so good old A to Z maps helped me to not only get around but understand the city. Nowadays you don’t think as much about where you are going as you are being told where you are going. Our kids will be lost without these apps!
I am a pretty curious person and would rather ask about what others do professionally and personally. If anything I may ask too many questions.
I am grateful that I get to work with so many talented directors, and as we are relatively young at Superprime it is still very exciting times as we continue to grow. I have worked with the Malloys for many years and am extremely excited to see the content they are putting out this year, with their upcoming docuseries on the Dream Team and upcoming authorized documentary on The Notorious B.I.G.
Terrence Malick recently shot a spot for Google with Droga5 in both Austin and LA, which was an amazing experience, his process is incredible to be a part of. We also did a VR film for Facebook starring dancers Jon Boogz and Lil Buck, with whom Superprime are now developing a film.
We also have an upcoming project with Yorgos Lanthimos shot in Mexico City that will release this year, and Kiku Ohe is currently working on an interesting project for Louis Vuitton.
I hate to say it, but after 30 years maybe I have been here too long to notice! Had I have been asked that early on I am sure I would have many an answer.

My favorite spot for coffee is Blue Bottle (it has become quite the addiction) and I love to have breakfast on the weekends there with my kids. On Sundays we like to shop at the Beverly Hills Farmers Market. For dinner I love to eat at the bar at Madeo, an amazing Italian restaurant run by an incredible family. I have been going there since I moved to LA. Maude is great for special occasions (and is run by another “exceptional alien” Curtis Stone). Malibu Farm is great for brunch, and we recently stayed a night at the Surfrider Hotel across the street and loved it there. Gjusta is amazing for ordering take out, it is easy to look like a hero when entertaining at home from here.
You have to take advantage of the great museums, like the Broad and the Getty, and DTLA is thriving with arts and food.
Pretty simple, but Marmite on toast at home (sadly missing the Vogel’s Bread however). Thanks to LA weather, family picnics on the beach at my cousin’s house in Venice can happen year-round. I love Waiheke Island in New Zealand and the wine and food scene that is so strong there, so I love to get away for a quick weekend and go to Napa (St. Helena). Not the beachy island that Waiheke is, but beautiful surroundings and great wine and food. It is a relatively easy trip and so worth it. While up North I also love to stay at Manka’s and eat at the original Hog Island Oyster Co.

Schröter is a lunar impact crater near the mid-part of the Moon, on the eastern Mare Insularum. It was named after German astronomer Johann Hieronymus Schröter. It lies to the north of the craters Sömmering and Mösting. To the southeast of the crater rim is a rille named the Rima Schröter. This cleft begins at a small crater in the mare, then follows a line to the south-southeast.
Oblique view from Apollo 16, facing north. Rima Schröter is clearly visible in the lower right corner.
The rim of Schröter is heavily worn and eroded, with a wide gap in the southern wall and a deep indentation to the southeast. There is no central peak at the crater's midpoint. A widely spaced row of tiny craters forms a line westwards from the north rim of Schröter.
Professor W. H. Pickering produced drawings of this crater displaying eruptions of steam that he believed he witnessed. This transient lunar phenomenon was not confirmed by other observers.
To the north of Schröter, beginning with the satellite crater Schröter W, is a region of irregular terrain. This area includes an array of linear dark surface markings that appear to criss-cross. In the 19th century, Franz von Gruithuisen is noted for claiming that this area contained a lunar city (which he called Wallwerk), based on his observations using a small refracting telescope. This inference was greeted with considerable skepticism by astronomers at the time, and, indeed, subsequent observations with more powerful instruments demonstrated that this was merely a natural feature.
About 100 km to the west-northwest of Schröter is the crash site of Surveyor 2.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Schröter.

We always love to hear from our students about what they got out of the training, what changed for them, as well as what changes they suggest as improvements. We are sharing some of the testimonials here and we are incorporating many ideas for our 2017 class.
The Color of Woman training was an amazing opportunity to use the creative process to dive deep into the hidden realms of Self, exploring my own identity and self-image, my own ideas, content and unique life-path.
There is nothing that compares to the Color of Woman Experience — it’s intense, it’s deep, it’s fun and phenomenal. It’s indescribable, and it has taken me places I’ve only ever dreamt of! I’ve accomplished more than I anticipated, not only in terms of creativity but also inner work. I’ve gained tremendous personal insight, and I’ve moved past many fears about my own work. It has been by far one of my most treasured experiences, and it’s transformed my life in so many ways.
I still can’t believe that I actually did all the work and graduated! My proudest moments were many…two that stand out is when my beloveds at the 2 day workshop called me their “midwife” and that I had opened up something in them they want to continue! They were introduced to the mystery of the Muse and they love her!
Color of Woman opened the door to my heart in having the courage to live from The Artist Within passionately. The consistent support, authentic caring, nurturance and guidance from Shiloh and her staff was truly amazing considering the number of students and graduates in this program. I am so grateful to have been a part of this program and intend on continuing to support Color of Woman as an active participant. I highly recommend this program to any Creative that desires to make a difference in this world by bringing the beautiful healing of Intentional Creativity to others.
I loved that the training was consistently based in love and integrity. I learned a lot, enjoyed the learning process and feel blessed to have been part of this journey. I truly loved the on-site initiations. My experience in Italy was the pivotal point in my journey where I experienced a spiritual awakening through the Blessed Mother, which brought an understanding of my Soul’s path of Honoring the Mother through my love of Intentional Creativity. Painting at Terra Sophia was magical and creating in nature was yet another important facet of knowing who I am and what I am meant to contribute in this world. It was an honor and privilege to be invited to such a sacred space. The energy and sense of belonging in this women’s tribe was palpable. I will cherish these growth moments for the rest of my life.
I know that ‘life-changing’ can be a bit of a cliche but that is what I have experienced in my journey through the Color of Woman training. The depth of healing and transformation can only be imagined… until you experience it for real. It has given me so much more than I originally expected – in terms of self understanding, confidence and the tools that I wanted to move forwards with my dream of a creative business. If you are hesitant then ask yourself – what have I got to lose…believe me you have so much to gain!
Color of Woman is an educational experience that lead me as far out into the world as it did deep into my heart. I feel I found community with like minded, intelligent, driven and caring people. Bravery, courage, heartfelt desire, dreams and love are things that one finds inside themselves, but Shiloh Sophia’s programming lit the way to finding what may have been lost or hidden for a time. The work you do in this program, at least for me, served as a guide to my heart and soul desires, and also offered navigational tools for driving to carry them out.
Shiloh generously shares her art legacy with students, which I now proudly count as my own. My art grandmothers, Sue Hoya Sellars and Caron McCloud stand as strong, feminine lead examples of how intention and imagination truly and exponentially can change the course of history. My art great grandmother, Lenore Thomas Straus began sharing these lessons via the New Deal art movement put in place by the Roosevelts. Each generation’s brave, conscious steps into the future can make our world the beautiful place that exists and that we dream of.
I loved many things but specifically getting free with paint, uncovering new dimensions for my professional work, and being connected to a community of bold women.
The Colour Of Woman course was inspiring, true soul work and it was wonderful to meet so many wonderful people in my journey.
It was a gift to discover a way, through painting, to heal the heart and energize our being. I loved the gathering in Italy – sights, sounds, tastes and our gatherings.
Colour of Woman has empowered me to shine a light on my true purpose of being a creative art facilitator. The confidence and determination I now have to go forward into setting up my own business for the first time, is unprecedented. It has been a real turning point in my life, as previously I was quite directionless and just didn’t know HOW to tap into my own inner resources and heart to see how I really wanted to be of service in the world. I will always be truly grateful to Shiloh and her lineage of mentors, for the opportunity to participate in this experience and become part of the Intentional Creativity revolution. Just thinking about this gets me shaking in my boots!!!
LOVED the creative format of the course content. I REALLY loved the concept of the Alchemical compass and working around the 4 directional points and centre of the medicine wheel. I loved the practical and hands on approach with the content and using Shiloh’s organic templates to process material. Each painting journey was a magical experience…….going to places within that had never been visited before! I was sooooo sad when doing my last painting……..knowing that this would be the end of this wonderful path.
I found that once I spent time exploring, the NING classroom was quite easy to navigate. I REALLY loved having the opportunity to share with others online, as I was unable to get to any in-person gatherings this became an important and VERY significant means of communication.
My morning red cafe time was often spent looking at and responding to what others had shared on FB and the NING site! In fact meeting sooooo many “like minded” women was a VERY exciting experience for me. I felt well supported by the COW staff and volunteers and enjoyed the interaction with a variety of personalities.
I have loved my training in Intentional Creativity it was a life changing experience for me and I take a whole new medicine basket out into the world filled with so many new ideas and tools to share my part of the red thread in my world.
Color of Woman training was indeed a journey like no other I have experienced. It was a combination of practical and magic. Each turn of the wheel unearthed layers of oneself as a way of discovering one’s own unique “color” as it were…finding and embracing the wholeness of who we are as women and as unique voices in that sisterhood is the beauty of my experience. Shiloh and every member of her team make Color of Woman an incredible experience where you are supported and set free all at the same time. Love, love, love is all I can say.
I loved the overall experience of it all! The COW 2016 training has tied a lot of knots for me and helps me bridge all of my trainings and life experiences into a much more solid foundation for my business, so that I can make it sustainable and joyful.
I loved the generosity, love and support from everyone and of, course having such an amazing role model as Shiloh who is so genuine, present and down to earth. I loved getting to expand my creativity in ways that my heart had longed for.
The Color of Woman training provided me with a structure to spend time focusing on my priority to integrate art into the work I’d already been doing in the world as a transformational life coach and energy worker. The class is thoughtfully laid out so that it culminates with everything needed to run an Intentional Creativity business using Shiloh’s 13 step method or integrating it into your own unique creative work in the world.
This was one of the most influential courses I have taken! It has helped transform my offering to be exciting, powerful and fun and it has helped me become more complete and myself!! I love the intense engaging into painting and merging this as a tool to access my inner archetypes. I loved the richness of the course material provided and the great support by all the fantastic and knowledgable staff!
I started this training thinking that I would receive a wonderful method and tool which to integrate into my present work as coach and trainer. To my surprise and joy I was to encounter a path, one which led me in an ever-deepening manner to those edges of the “unimaginable” and the unknown.
What I realized and experienced there was such an abundance of possibility and enrichment, that this truly must be experienced in order to grasp the impact of this transformative point. It was a standing in that space between the worlds in which the maximum of creativity could be expressed.
The gratitude which arose out of teaching others according to this IC method is indescribable. This work is truly paradigm shifting, a transformational tool.
My heartfelt thanks goes out especially to Shiloh for making this training available and to the rest of the Color of Women team, who kept enriching us with tips, encouragement and extended information. It was a beautifully loving and caring community .
An amazing training that provide SO much useful & rich information that I will go back and consult over & over in order to refine my offerings. The tips & tools to progress my offerings and turn it into a money-making activity are also very much appreciated. Thank you!
I loved how organized the classroom is, and how there is so much support…there was always someone to reach out to when I needed. Responses were usually really prompt.
I like that along with written material, there were also videos. I’m a visual learner, so this helped a lot.
I loved the live events, and being able to connect and develop friendships with like-minded women.
I LOVE that I’m now part of a legacy & lineage. I’ve always been part of it, it just took me a while to get here. I knew from the moment I met Shiloh I was connected to her, I just didn’t know how until the next day when I received an email saying there were a few available openings in Color of Woman.
I applied even though I didn’t quite know why, but I knew I had to. Even though I never met Sue Hoya Sellars in this life I feel very connected to her, Lenore, and the land at Terra Sophia. It’s totally woo woo lol. So this is so much more than just an experience and training for me. This is where I belong.

WASHINGTON/DUBAI (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday he would name Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organisation, in an unprecedented step that drew Iranian condemnation and raised concerns about retaliatory attacks on U.S. forces.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a strident critic of Iran, has pushed for the change in U.S. policy as part of the Trump administration’s tough posture towards Tehran.
Previous administrations considered designating the entire IRGC as a foreign terrorist organisation but decided the risk to U.S. forces overseas was too great, former U.S. officials said.

Who Is Going to Afghanistan First?
Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard, got called up to active duty. Boudreaux's first assignment was in a military induction center.
Because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled.
The officer in charge soon noticed that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance.
This was remarkable, because it cost these low-income recruits $30.00 per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was already providing at no charge. The officer decided he'd sit in the back of the room at the next briefing and observe Boudreaux's sales pitch.
Boudreaux stood up before the latest group of inductees and said, "If you has da normal GI insurance an' you goes to Afghanistan an' gets youself killed, da government pays you beneficiary $20,000. If you takes out da supplemental insurans, which cost you only t'irty dollars a mons, den da governmen' gots ta pay you beneficiary $200,000!"
"Now," Boudreaux concluded, "which bunch you tink dey gonna send ta Afghanistan first ?"
