The longest appointment on Pope Francis’ busy schedule for his day-long visit to Verona was his stop at the city’s Montorio prison A large number of inmates and staff gathered on the institution’s sports field to greet the Pope as he arrived while others watched from their cell windows After listening to speeches from the prison director “entering a prison is always an important moment because prison is a place of great humanity.” referencing an earlier speech by the inmate Duarte The Pope then added that he had learned with sorrow that some inmates of the prison had recently ended their lives “to which only unsustainable despair and pain can lead.” “talk to God about our pain and help each other carry it the director of the prison had noted that inmates come from 40 different countries and a wide variety of religious backgrounds “Our cultures have taught us to call him by different names we can overcome despair and live every moment as the right time to begin again.” Thank you for reading our article.

stay at St The child advocate’s investigators “found evidence of countless violations of state law licensing regulations and internal policies by St just over a month since the report became public the nonprofit’s new interim CEO concedes that it was accurate and called it “beyond disturbing.” “Those things should have never happened,” Montorio-Archer told the Globe in a recent interview “The one thing that you will hear definitely from me The child advocate’s office is continuing to investigate at St which offers residential services at its campus in North Providence along with outpatient services for children and families impacted by sexual abuse and exploitation and a residential and day school for children with various learning State health officials and the Rhode Island Disability Rights and Rhode Island are also conducting reviews at St Mary’s to provide psychiatric residential treatment services since 2019 placed the facility’s license on probation and stopped sending children there in November 2023 after a boy fleeing a staff member was hit by a Jeep and state officials determined that the nonprofit hadn’t made “significant progress” to improve Montorio-Archer said he doesn’t know when St Mary’s will be approved to take in more children There are 17 youths still living at the facility Mary’s has been working on hiring and retraining staff and increasing communication with families He is also working to address the more than 30 recommendations in the child advocate’s report which range from having freshly prepared meals for the children and keeping the facilities clean to hiring a compliance officer to ensure laws and regulations are followed and reevaluating the organizational structure and administration Even as Montorio-Archer is recruiting and training new staff including those who were responsible for the problems flagged by the child advocate’s office Also still in place: All 14 members of the nonprofit’s board of directors who have said they were unaware of the problems until a meeting in December with DCYF officials and the Department of Health and Human Services Governor Sabina Matos and North Providence Mayor Charles Lombardi have child welfare or social service experience Mary’s board said it is adding a member with relevant experience this week: Marianne Raimondo director of the healthcare administration program at Rhode Island College and co-founder of Age-Friendly Rhode Island Montorio-Archer said that he will be responding to the investigative report by early March and will comply with any monitoring the state requires we’re going to be on probation for the next couple of months,” he said Montorio-Archer was recommended for the position of interim CEO by Ashley Deckert the director of the state Department of Children She knew him through her work as the deputy director of residential monitoring for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services Montorio-Archer was the president and CEO for One Hope United in Chicago residential and other support services to more than 9,000 children and families in Illinois Montorio-Archer also cofounded of the Thrive Network which merged with the New York Foundling and is now a multi-million dollar nonprofit assisting people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities He is a former assistant district attorney and an author of books including “Everybody Paddles: A Leader’s Blueprint for Creating A Unified Team.” 5 letter introducing himself to “community partners,” Montorio-Archer acknowledged the “firestorm” around the child advocate’s report and wrote that he had successfully led many organizations out of similar situations “Providing psychiatric residential treatment and care to at-risk youth who have experienced significant trauma can be extremely challenging and incidents do occur,” Montorio-Archer wrote “We do not take this lightly or dismissively and understand that we must keep working to mitigate risk to the children and our staff The incidents outlined in the recent OCA report were beyond disturbing and rightly triggered an investigation into our residential program.” The child advocate’s investigation began in May after the child advocate’s office found out about a 17-year-old who nearly died from an overdose at St DCYF also launched a separate investigation The child advocate’s investigators found abuse and an overall lack of leadership and supervision The children told the child advocate about feeling unsafe and uncared for An investigation by the Globe found that the North Providence police responded to St Neighbors have come forward about children fleeing into their yards The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on the problems Mary’s has taken care of the immediate complaints about the state of the facilities He ticked off a list of organizations involved with staff training: the Parent Support Network the Institute for Education and Healthcare at Rhode Island College Some retraining will involve how to properly communicate with children and their families and assessing whether or how to restrain a child Steven Bonauto as interim medical director opened two acute residential treatment programs there in 2004 and opened the psychiatric residential treatment facility there in 2019 Montorio-Archer said he meets with Deckert regularly and teams from the child advocate’s office and DCYF are frequently monitoring the care of children there We’re not going to be there next week or even the week after,” Montorio-Archer said we’ve done a significant amount of things that will be reflected in the response that hopefully makes [the child advocate’s office] feel comfortable that we are moving in the right direction.” Montorio-Archer said he couldn’t answer why things were allowed to get to this point He says he’s focused on making sure that it doesn’t happen again and on regaining the trust of the community “I don’t believe that I can hand-hold all the staff all the time,” Montorio-Archer said Amanda Milkovits can be reached at amanda.milkovits@globe.com.

To me, the big kidnapper Celio Marcelo da Silva comes across as cool, clever, and calculated. Wagner the cop is a good guy, but obviously has to walk a tightrope. As he once told me, “Being a policeman in Brazil is like wearing a white suit and having to walk through a big muddy puddle everyday. At the end of each day you are then expected to return with a perfectly white suit.” Also, the soccer star admits that only soccer stopped him getting into trouble as a youngster. If we take the three main characters, all three came from the same place in society and all tried to escape. One became a policeman, one a soccer player, and another a criminal. In fact, at the very end of the film, Celio the kidnapper actually says that he always wanted to be a doctor. I am interested in how and why people take a certain path and the influencing factors: opportunity, culture, personality, identity, etc. What was also really interesting is that in Brazil all the kids see soccer as a way out. Unfortunately, as Dona Maria’s soccer school shows, crime becomes the only alternative for most. Not only do many decide to balance this inequality by criminal means, but also the injustice of a society discriminating against them actually (for them) justifies their actions. The kidnappers we interviewed believed they were fighting a cause, a war. Produced by THIRTEEN    ©2025 WNET.ORG Properties LLC. All rights reserved. Volume 13 - 2022 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1014683 The literature studying the characteristics associated with revictimization in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is heterogeneous and inconclusive The absence of studies on the role of the emotional variables of the victims and the failure to distinguish revictimization by the same or different aggressors are two of the main limitations in this area of research The aim of this work was to study the relative contribution of the material and emotional resources available to IPV victims in predicting revictimization by the same or different perpetrators The sample consisted of 290 women registered in the city of Madrid who had filed at least one police report for intimate partner violence The material resources of the victims were evaluated through their level of monthly income and employability status the social resources through perceived social support and the emotional resources through emotional regulation and coping strategies Hierarchical multinomial logistic regression models were estimated to predict single-offender victimization (SRV) and multiple-offender revictimization (VSRDA) The results revealed that: (1) differentiating between revictimization by the same and different aggressors improved the fit of the model by 50.8% compared to when only differentiating between victimized and revictimized women; (2) material resources had no significant weight in the prediction of any type of revictimization; (3) SRV women had more social support than VSRDA women (ExpB = 1.027; p < 0.011); (4) those victims who had made several reports to the authorities of violence by different aggressors (VSRDA) had worse emotional regulation than those victims who had made a single report to the authorities (VSRs; ExpB = 2.934; p < 0.026); and (5) VSRDA obtained the worst mental health indexes and they used more coping strategies based on positive reappraisal than the VSR women (ExpB = 0.863; p < 0.009) and those victims with several reports by the same aggressor (VSRSA; ExpB = 0.891; p < 0.028) These results show that being a victim of several episodes of intimate partner violence by different aggressors should be understood as a form of revictimization of great severity associated with worse emotional regulation and less social support Most studies on revictimization focus on analyzing the variables associated with recidivism in perpetrators and have tended to ignore the factors associated with the victims for fear of blaming them (Orke et al., 2018) knowing which strategies and resources are associated with revictimization by the same or different partners could help to enhance a more active and effective coping mechanism with situations of violence discharging the aggressor of his responsibility for the violent behavior the choice of certain strategies in the present is the result of those behaviors being useful in the past so that women who use strategies that prove consistently ineffective over an extended period of time develop a state of learned helplessness in which even escape reactions are blocked these results have only been analyzed in a limited number of studies which have mainly been descriptive and qualitative From this point of view, the functionality of coping strategies is completely linked to contextual and personal factors and points to the limited usefulness of predetermined divisions of coping strategies into global dimensions of engagement and disengagement. Given that abusive relationships involve specific circumstances in which the use of strategies a priori considered “healthy” may be a risk factor in the maintenance of violence (Goodman et al., 2005) it is likely that the use of an intra-situational approach that takes into account the personal and situational characteristics of the victim is the most appropriate way to study the role of coping strategies in the field of IPV revictimization point out that its role in IPV may be especially important when violence is more frequent and sustained over time In this paper, the different types of resources are studied together to examine the relative contributions of each in predicting different forms of revictimization in IPV. A precedent for the present study can be found in Goodman et al. (2005) who provided empirical support for normative resource theory by analyzing the predictive role in revictimization of each type of resource in the presence of the others To assess the victims’ material resources they used socioeconomic status and employability for social or interpersonal resources they measured social support and for emotional resources they assessed quality of life and passive and confrontational coping strategies in the face of violence In their results they found that only social support was a protective factor for revictimization and that confrontation strategies functioned as a risk factor whilst the other predictors of the model were insignificant attending to the importance of context in assessing the role of emotional resources this differentiation may give greater precision to the interpretation of the results and emotional resources in the prediction of revictimization It is hypothesized that emotional resources despite their lower representation in the literature will have a similar or greater weight than social and material resources – To incorporate emotional variables in the analysis of the results It is hypothesized that emotional regulation will play an important role in the study of revictimization as it does in many other fields – To test the role of different types of revictimization It is hypothesized that revictimization by different aggressors will lead to a higher level of vulnerability in the victims – To analyze the role of specific coping strategies in the context of different types of revictimization and negative self-focus will be evaluated and it is hypothesized that having suffered revictimization at the hands of the same or different aggressors will influence the type of specific coping strategy employed by the victim The study sample consisted of 290 women victims of IPV who were included in the Sistema de Seguimiento Integral de los casos de violencia de género (VioGen) of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior belonging to the Community of Madrid since 2014 Forty-eight women were excluded from the analysis for reasons explained in the procedure section which reduced the final sample size to 242 participants This study was developed in collaboration with the Secretary of State for Security of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior which is responsible for the VioGén System that registers any complaint made by a woman regarding physical or psychological IPV at the national level the victim’s data are recorded and information is attached regarding her socioeconomic context history of victimization and the corresponding legal and judicial assessment the participants in the study were selected according to the following inclusion criteria: (a) being an active case after filing a complaint within the VioGén System because of physical or psychological IPV; (b) having a court sentence for police protection measures; and (c) being of legal age in order to have all the profiles of victims of IPV represented according to the number of times they have filed a complaint and the multiplicity of aggressors the following were selected: Victims of a single episode of gender-based violence (victims single report VSR): women victims included in VioGen since 2014 who Those women who were interviewed as victims of a single episode of gender-based violence but in the interview stated that they had suffered other episodes of violence from the same or different partners that they did not report were excluded from the analyses Victims of several episodes of gender-based violence perpetrated by the same partner (victims with several reports by the same aggressor VSRSA): female victims included in VioGen since 2014 who have filed several reports by the same aggressor Victims of multiple episodes of gender-based violence perpetrated by multiple partners (victims with several reports by different aggressors VSRDA) female victims included in VioGen since 2014 who have filed multiple reports by different aggressors the police officers were asked to inform the victims about the possibility of collaborating in the study The women who agreed to participate were contacted by telephone to obtain their voluntary consent to participate The interviews lasted approximately 3 h and were conducted at the place of preference of the participants the interview was structured and guided by a standard evaluation protocol The procedure was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (CEI-941720) – An ad-hoc questionnaire was developed to collect psychosocial information on the victims: age and time elapsed since the complaint was filed and the victim’s estimated probability of being assaulted again by another partner in the future – Emotional Processing Scale (EPS-25; Baker et al., 2010) consists of 25 items organized into five factors (suppression and signs of unprocessed emotions) that allow the calculation of an overall score Each item is rated on a 10-point Likert-type scale (0 “completely disagree” to 9 “completely agree”) The range of possible total scores was from 0 to 225 with a higher score indicating lower emotional regulation ability the reliability estimated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.954 [95% CI = 0.945–0.963] and the same value was used for the Omega coefficient the values ranged between 0.79 and 0.896 for Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and between 0.809 and 0.872 for the Omega – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Revised Symptom Severity Scale (EGS-R) is a modified and updated version of the EGS used to assess the severity of PTSD symptoms based on the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria (Echeburúa et al., 2016) It consists of 21 items rated on a four-point Likert-type scale (0 “Not at all” to 3 “Five or more times per week/much”) The higher scores equate to a greater severity of symptomatology and in this study it was used to assess the level of adjustment of the different types of victim the reliability estimated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.909 [95% CI = 0.89–0.925] and 0.908 on the Omega coefficient for the total scale the alpha coefficients took values between 0.747 and 0.883 and the Omega coefficients between 0.827 and 0.869 – An abbreviated version of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21). Specifically, the Spanish version validated by Antúnez and Vinet (2012) was used The DASS-21 assesses in a self-reported manner the presence and intensity of the affective states of depression with four response alternatives in a Likert format ranging from 0 (“It does not describe anything that happened to me or I felt during the week”) to 3 (“Yes Each subscale has seven items and its total score is calculated with the sum of the items belonging to that subscale The Anxiety scale considers subjective and somatic symptoms of fear and subjective experience of anxious affect The Stress scale assesses persistent non-specific activation Cronbach’s alpha for the total scale in the present sample was 0.965 [CI: 0.958–971] the value obtained was 0.924 [CI: 907–938] 0.902 [CI: 882–920] for the anxiety scale and 0.908 [CI: 0.888–0.925] in the stress scale – Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (EMAS) adapted to Spanish by Ruiz Jiménez et al. (2017) This is a 12-item instrument that collects the levels of social support perceived by friends and relevant people to whom it is administered where value 1 means “Strongly disagree” and value 7 “Strongly agree,” so that the total score on the scale ranges from 12 to 84 points The higher scores indicate greater perceived social support Cronbach’s alpha was 0.918 [CI: 901–933] and the Omega coefficient took a value of 0.891 values between 0.842 and 955 were obtained for Cronbach’s alpha and between 0.847 and 0.954 for the Omega coefficient the variable emotional regulation was dichotomized forming two groups divided by the median that differentiated between women with high and low emotional regulation The means between the two groups differed significantly (T = −25.98; p < 0.0001; 95% CI of difference = −4.436 to −3.811) In order to be able to affirm that the multinomial regression models work correctly, the assumptions of independence of the predictor variables, collinearity, dispersion proportional to the mean, and linearity between the independent variables were tested (Pardo and Ruiz, 2012) The assumption of independence did not need to be checked because high tolerance levels (between 0.738 and 0.880) and low variance inflation factors (between 1.13 and 1.36) were obtained for all variables which ruled out problems due to excessive collinearity between predictors The scale parameter to evaluate the proportional dispersion of the mean was 1.09 which indicates the absence of overdispersion and underdispersion polynomial analyses were performed to evaluate what type of trend relationship existed between the logit of the dependent variable and the independent variables except for the variables positive reappraisal and avoidance strategies where neither the linear nor the quadratic trend was significant so that the null hypothesis of non-linearity could not be rejected Descriptive analysis showed that the mean age of the women was 37.88 years 58.9% of the participants had a high school or university education A total of 33.5% were women victimized on a single occasion 41.7% were victimized on more than one occasion by the same aggressor and 24.8% were victimized more than once by different aggressors We analyzed whether there was a relationship between the different types of resources and sociodemographic variables It was found that educational level was positively associated with income level (r = 0.390; p < 0.01) and with social support (r = 0.144; p < 0.05) and positive reappraisal strategies were negatively associated with victim’s age (r = −0.190; p < 0.001) Analyses to assess the clinical adjustment of the different types of victims showed that VSRDAs differed significantly from VSRs and VSRSAs in post-traumatic symptomatology as well as in the stress, anxiety, and depression scales. Thus, they presented a higher level of PTSD, anxiety, stress, and depression symptomatology than the other two groups. In contrast, no differences were found between the VSR and VSRSA groups for any of the scales (Table 2) A hierarchical binomial logistic regression analysis was performed (Table 3) in which the predictor variables included those corresponding to the estimates of the different types of resources The dichotomous variable having been revictimized (Yes/No) constituted the dependent variable The resulting model was significant (p < 0.023) at a significance level of 0.05 and the goodness-of-fit test indicated that the model was able to explain 12.4% of the variance of the dependent variable (Nagelkerke’s corrected R2 = 0.124) when including all variables in the third step none of the material resources variables was significant only social support was a significant predictor with an effect size of 0.97 (p < 0.021) and an inverse relationship with respect to membership in the group of revictimized women such that greater social support corresponded to a lower risk of revictimization None of the emotional resources introduced into the model in step 3 proved significant After the binary logistic regression analysis, a hierarchical multinomial regression analysis was performed including the same predictor variables, but differentiated according to the type of revictimization suffered (same aggressor vs. different aggressors), to check whether the model improved and provided any new information by differentiating between the different types of revictimization (Tables 4, 5) The analysis showed that the model remained significant at a significance level of 0.01 (p < 0.005) and increased the percentage of variance explained to 19% (Nagelkerke’s corrected R2 = 0.187) an increase in variance of 50.8% over the previous model and the victim’s employability (Yes/No) were introduced in the first step as proxies for material resources but neither variable was found to be significant material resources were maintained and social support was introduced which was positively related to membership in the group of VSR women with an effect size of 1.027 (p < 0.011) the VSR women tended to have greater social support than VSRDA women and significant results were found for emotional regulation variables and positive reappraisal coping strategies women assaulted on a single occasion were 2.93 times more likely to belong to the effective emotional regulation group than women revictimized by multiple aggressors (ExpB = 2.934; p < 0.026) the odds of belonging to the group of women revictimized by multiple offenders increased by 16% for each point increase in positive reappraisal when compared to those women who had been assaulted on one occasion (ExpB = 0.863; p < 0.009) and by 12% when compared to women revictimized by the same offender (ExpB = 0.891; p < 0.028) social support remained positively associated with belonging to the VSR group with respect to the VSRDA group (ExpB = 1.038; p < 0.008) and also with belonging to VSRs with respect to VSRSAs (ExpB = 0.974; p < 0.05) Material resources continued to have no relevant weight in the model Revictimization in women victims of Intimate Partner Violence is a serious problem that still has limited development in the scientific literature Knowing more about the role played by the psychological and emotional factors of the victim herself in her revictimization is a perspective that can contribute to the exploration of which factors can moderate the impact of revictimization The present study aimed to study the weight of different social and emotional material resources in predicting being victimized on a single occasion (VSR) revictimized by the same aggressor (VSRSA) or being revictimized by different aggressors (VSRDA) with special interest in the analysis of emotional resources that have been largely ignored in research on revictimization when differentiating exclusively between revictimized and non-victimized women only social support and coping strategies were predictive whether by the same or different aggressors is confirmed as a factor that could improve the fit between the results of the LPI research and reality Secondly, material resources, particularly victims’ employability and income level, did not predict revictimization despite that which was found in previous studies (Caetano et al., 2005; Orke et al., 2018; Person, 2018) It is possible that the sample’s low variability in income level at least partially explains this result as 70% of the women did not have an income which exceeded €1,000 per month the loss of social support would be one of the consequences of revictimization which would increase the risk of suffering from it This explanation in terms of the learned helplessness theory is even more plausible if one takes into account that almost 40% of the women revictimized by different aggressors stated that they were likely to be assaulted again by other partners in the future when compared to 20% in the other two groups revictimization should be understood as a dynamic process involving multiple forces that push the victim to leave or continue the relationship Interventions should move away from trying to follow standardized programs to try to help the victim identify which are the personal and contextual factors that promote and accelerate the process of disengagement with the perpetrator it is necessary to take into account the specific context of the victims when designing an intervention and this work puts the focus on women who are more vulnerable due to their history of revictimization with multiple aggressors and low social support who will tend to use strategies of re-evaluation of the situation in order to adapt to it in the short term running the risk of maintaining their problem in the long term The data are not publicly available due to privacy and ethical restrictions.

monitoring multiple sclerosis progression as shown in a study presented at the virtual Euretina congress “OCT-A parameters showed retinal vascular abnormalities before the appearance of subsequent neuroaxonal loss,” Daniela Montorio changes in retinal and choriocapillary vessel density were evaluated on OCT-A over 2 years after an initial demyelinating event (IDE) the first neurological symptom of MS referrable to demyelination in the central nervous system “A significant reduction of vessel density in the superficial capillary plexus deep capillary plexus and radial peripapillary capillary plexus was found after 2 years as compared to baseline and 1-year follow-up,” Montorio said Vessel density reduction was not associated with ganglion cell complex and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness changes nor with relapse occurrences and MRI activity changes progressive vessel density reduction occurs in the macular and papillary region in absence of any changes in structural OCT This would confirm the crucial role of retinal vascular impairment in the early stages of MS “It is possible to hypothesize that a single demyelinating and inflammatory event could cause a retinal hypoperfusion that persists over time This status may initially trigger a vascular compensatory mechanism which would explain the absence of significant retinal vascular impairment in the first year persistent inflammation may lead to vascular decompensation resulting in significant impairment of retinal perfusion,” Montorio said OCT-A has the ability to detect these subclinical vascular changes

about how it has addressed its failings – while offering some “points of clarification” on some of the most egregious findings But the home’s attempt to “rewrite history” does not sit well with the Office of the Child Advocate which issued the scathing report in December about the state’s only residential psychiatric treatment center for children “It should be noted that some of those 'clarifying' the actions of St Mary’s are the same people identified throughout the investigation and under whose leadership and supervision these failures occurred,” wrote the state’s acting child advocate Mary’s interim CEO Charles Montorio-Archer Mary’s response not be used as an opportunity to rewrite history or skew objective findings through a subjective lens,” she said 'It's a complete lie'Among the points of clarification St. Mary’s makes in its corrective action response concerns the claim in the Office of Child Advocate report that the home’s former executive director told investigators “I wouldn’t let my dog come here.”  who stepped down in the wake of the investigation’s report Mary’s corrective report to respond to that allegation: “I never said I would not send my dog to St She goes on to say she asked the author of the Child Advocate’s investigative report to retract that statement “and she did not respond to me.”  saying the child advocate’s report “indicates that I was present when this alleged comment was made McCann would never have made such a statement.”  Correcting the report about biker guardsSt Mary’s corrective report also takes issue with how the Child Advocate explained the home’s use of a biker group to guard children against the threat of prowling child sex traffickers The child advocate’s report described how members of Bikers Against Child Abuse were “in the units interacting with children as well as staff and parents.” The report also said members of the motorcycle club participated in searches for runaways on the home's grounds and that it was unclear if they had gone through proper background checks in collaboration with the club’s president Mary’s corrective plan that the biker club members were staged outside the facility on a public street – and that participants did go through at least a club-initiated background check The unusual biker arrangement moved forward without the knowledge or approval of the state Department of Children Office of the Child Advocate not impressed with St Mary’s corrective response also includes statements from Nursing Director Nicole Froment that she knew nothing of staff being admonished for raising concerns about inadequate care in the home – another allegation made by the Child Advocate after interviews with staff parents and the adolescent residents of the home “I am adamant that neither myself nor my team has ever been put in a position where we were asked to refrain from or minimize reporting and documentation of any situation that warranted it,” said Froment after a 17-year-old girl was found unconscious from a drug overdose on the bathroom floor of a residential unit A three-member team of investigators spent months speaking with staff residents and the parents of children in the home and also reviewed hundreds of pages of documents and emails as well as hours of video footage of common areas in the Fruit Hill Avenue center where physical assaults of children took place health standards and proper procedures were disregarded and the already-traumatized children were underserved More: Screams, runaways dashing through yards: Neighbors share what it's like to live next to St. Mary's. The report has outraged state lawmakers, who have held oversight hearings on the situation and demanded improvements.  In a statement last week, Montorio-Archer said the child advocate’s report “contains truths that St. Mary’s acknowledges and has taken action on,” including more rigorous and mandatory staff training, cleaner spaces, better security systems to monitor care and improvements in proper medical documentation and auditing procedures.  In an interview Monday with The Journal, Montorio-Archer said, however, that he also believed his staff deserved a chance to respond to the Child Advocate’s report, to be given a “fair opportunity for them to say, ‘I did not say that.’”  Currently, about 15 children live at St. Mary’s, which has a capacity of 30. DCYF stopped placing children in the home until there has been significant improvements.  And Child Advocate Medeiros says St. Mary’s corrective action report is so far insufficient.  “For many of the recommendations provided, your response cited existing policies and practices," Medeiros said. "The OCA investigation clearly highlighted that those policies and practices were not routinely followed, therefore citing these as solutions is not proposing any real remedy to the issues presented.”  Contact Tom Mooney at: tmooney@providencejournal.com This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

Volume 7 - 2020 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2020.615015 The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the vascular features in eyes with Coats disease using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) at baseline and after 3 monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab Fifteen eyes of 15 consecutive patients affected by Coats' disease were recruited in this study All patients underwent the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) evaluation structural Spectral Domain (SD)-OCT and OCTA at baseline and 1 month after the third monthly ranibizumab injection (loading phase) BCVA was 0.46 ± 0.11 logMar and 0.47 ± 0.12 logMar at baseline and after treatment SD-OCT revealed no significant decrease in central macular thickness (486.33 μm ± 93.37 at baseline vs 483.4 μm ± 80.97 after treatment; p = 0.915) The subretinal exudates persisted in macular region after intravitreal injections OCTA showed a general vascular rarefaction in superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and choriocapillary (CC) that did not change after loading phase This study showed no functional and vascular improvement following 3 monthly ranibizumab injections could be useful during follow up of these patients and provide a better understand of pathogenesis of this disorder Coats disease is an idiopathic retinal vascular disorder, described for the first time by Coats in 1908 (1) This disease is characterized by retinal telangiactasias in the temporal-macular zone, numerous yellowish exudates in the subretinal space containing cholesterol crystals, macular edema, hemorrhages and, in advanced end-stage, by exudative retinal detachment with secondary neovascular glaucoma (2) The use of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents in combination with common treatments, such as laser photocoagulation, has been reported to reduce the subretinal fluid (SRF) and exudation in small case series of Coats disease (3–5) The gold standard test for diagnosis and follow-up after treatment for Coats patients is fluorescein angiography (FA), while optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows to identify macular edema and exudates in macular region (6) OCT Angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides a detailed evaluation of retinal and choriocapillaris (CC) microvasculature and it turned to be useful and safe in pediatric patients because it does not need intravenous dye agent injection (7, 8) Previous reports focused on the retinal and CC vascular alterations at OCTA in patients with Coats disease rather than to analyze the vascular changes after VEGF injections (9–13) The aim of this study was to investigate the structural and vascular features in retina and choriocapillaris at Spectral Domain (SD)-OCT and OCTA in 15 patients affected by Coats disease undergoing anti-VEGF injections Fifteen patients affected by Coats disease were retrospectively recruited in this observational study from January 2016 to January 2019 at the Eye Clinic of the University of Naples “Federico II.” The diagnosis of Coats disease was based on the presence of idiopathic retinal telangiectasia, hemorrhagic phenomena, intraretinal and/or subretinal exudation at fundus examination (2) Ten patients presented the stage 2A (telangiectasia and extrafoveal exudation), five patients showed the stage 2B (telangiectasia and foveal exudation) in according to the clinical classification introduced by Shields et al. (14) Exclusion criteria included: vitreoretinal diseases secondary to other causes and previous treatments before ranibizumab (such as laser photocoagulation and other anti-VEGF intravitreal injections) At baseline all patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination including the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) evaluation structural SD-OCT and OCTA (RTVue XR Avanti These patients underwent 3 monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab (0.5 mg/0.05 ml) (loading phase) with a 30-gauge needle through the pars plana under aseptic conditions One month after loading phase (LP) they underwent the measurement of BCVA SD-OCT and OCTA to evaluate the central macular thickness (CMT) and the retinal and choriocapillaris vascular networks The study was registered in https://clinicaltrials.gov/ (NCT04310631) and all investigations adhered to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki Written informed consents were obtained from the patients enrolled in the study OCTA images was acquired using XR Avanti AngioVue OCTA (software ReVue version 2017.1.0.151, Optovue Inc., Fremont, CA, USA). It is a device with a high speed of 70,000 axial scans per second that uses a light source of 840 nm and an axial resolution of 5 μm (15) The images with a signal strength index <80 blinking artifacts and low-quality images obtained with OCT and OCTA did not considered in this analysis Statistical analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Version 20.0 for Windows; SPSS Inc The paired Student's test was used to evaluate the differences in CMT and BCVA between the baseline and after 3 monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant A total of 15 patients affected by unilateral Coats disease (nine males and six females, mean age 20.4 ± 2 years) was included in this retrospective study. Demographic and clinical information of patients were documented in Table 1 ophthalmologic characteristics and SD-OCT parameters in patients with Coats disease before and after loading phase of intravitreal injections of ranibizumab The patients presented a reduced BCVA (0.46 ± 0.11 logMar) and the intraocular pressure was normal (mean 14 ± 2.03 mmHg) At SD-OCT the presence of intraretinal and subretinal exudates and SRF in macular region caused a significant structural alterations mainly in outer retinal layers (ellipsoid zone and external limiting membrane distruption) there were no functional and morphological improvements The patients did not show any change in BCVA respect to baseline (0.47 ± 0.12 logMar vs as well as in IOP values (14 ± 2.03 mmHg vs SD-OCT revealed no significant reduction in CMT (486.33 μm ± 93.37 at baseline vs 483.4 μm ± 80.97 after LP; p = 0.915) the presence of the subretinal and intraretinal exudates persisted in macular region after intravitreal injections the superficial capillary plexus showed few areas of capillary hypoperfusion with a slight increased FAZ area Irregularly dilatated small perifoveal vessels and an increased vascular rarefaction with loss of the some of their collateral branches were visible in deep capillary network The CC was partially obscured due to the presence of subretinal exudates that caused a posterior shadow effect The retinal and choriocapillaris vascular impairment persisted after VEGF injections in all patients revealing no improving in capillary drop out and anomalies in vessel size in superficial and deep capillary networks. The vascular rarefaction of CC remains evident due to the persistent presence of intraretinal exudates (Figure 1) Left eye of a male 20 years old patients before and after 3 monthly intravitreal injection of ranibizumab multicolor shows foveal exudates and retinal telangiectasia temporally to the fovea (A) OCTA images of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) shows few areas of capillary hypoperfusion with a slight increased FAZ area (B) The deep capillary plexus (DCP) (C) shows irregularly dilatated small vessels The CC reveals few areas of no flow signal due to a posterior shadow effect from intraretinal exudates (D) The structural spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) B-scan of each OCTAngiography (OCTA) image reveals some intraretinal exudates and cysts temporally the foveal region the multicolor image reveals no change in foveal exudates and in teleangectasia temporally to the foveal region (A1) At OCTA no significant improvement in capillary drop out and anomalies in vessel size are found in superficial and deep capillary networks In CC persists few areas of no flow signal due to the presence of intraretinal exudates (D1) No structural OCT changes was evident after treatment even if the worse visual outcomes occurred for more advanced stages of the disease Moreover, OCTA, allowed to detect the retinal and CC vascular abnormalities in Coats disease (10, 13) also in patients after laser treatment and cryotherapy (12) These structural vascular changes rather than the increase of VEGF levels would explain the reason of the absence of structural and functional improvements after anti-VEGF therapy especially the relatively small sample size of the groups the short follow up and absence of quantitative evaluation of retinal and CC microvasculature the analysis of OCTA at posterior pole turned to be influenced by the presence of the intraretinal exudates that caused a reduced visualization of the vascular network of CC in this study OCTA is a non-invasive technique useful in the diagnosis and follow up of this retinopathy and allow to better understand the pathophysiology of this disease Further longitudinal studies and a longer follow up are needed to analyze a larger number of patients affected by this rare disease The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/supplementary material

Lund has revealed that Salvator Mundi and the Mona Lisa were intended to be seen together as one single image a brilliant combination of astronomy and mathematics were projected together into one divine image with a camera obscura who in 2011 discovered a ley line in the Mona Lisa landscape pointing directly 29.5 km southeast from the Vatican to the primary cult site of Roman goddess Diana at Lake Nemi on the sacred Christmas morning of the Vatican's grand Jubilee year in 1500 AD the ley line momentarily extended toward the center of our galaxy which peeked over the horizon in simultaneous conjunction with the Sun Lund says Leonardo da Vinci envisioned the Mona Lisa's face being struck by the first light of that dawn as she gazed at the core of our Milky Way from Bramante's Tempietto atop Rome's Janiculum hill Lund has assembled a large body of corroborating evidence to back up his theory Just last year he showed that the controversial Salvator Mundi painting is indeed an authentic DaVinci creation due to surprising archaeoastronomical evidence Lund has identified the Summer Triangle asterism as the lone three stars seen in Salvator Mundi's crystal orb which shared the same Christmas sunrise as the Mona Lisa; both paintings were thus a depiction of the same view in time and space Lund additionally has discovered that Salvator Mundi can be scaled down to align perfectly over the Mona Lisa in overlay creating one single entity from the combination of both paintings He believes Salvator Mundi was intended to be projected onto the Mona Lisa in a darkened room by a camera obscura pinhole camera resulting in a spectacular illuminated image of a divine androgynous angelic being "No one realizes that the world's most famous painting has never been seen in the wondrous way that Leonardo da Vinci intended," says Lund The Mona Lisa Code is something entirely unexpected in the field of Art History asserting that it comprises a large corpus of corroborating evidence beyond any reasonable doubt He convincingly establishes that the Mona Lisa and Donato Bramante's Tempietto chapel in Rome were sister projects with each being the symbolic representation of the other Lund presents remarkable visual evidence that the compositions of the Mona Lisa and two other paintings were based on the stars and constellations that Leonardo da Vinci observed from Rome's Janiculum hill during the Vatican's grand jubilee year of 1500 AD The Tempietto's construction began with a dedication ceremony two years later that hid its foundation stone matching the exact same aspect ratio as the Mona Lisa Lund points out that the Janiculum hill was where the two-faced Roman sun god Janus built his glorious citadel and ruled during a mythical Golden Age Although the Tempietto marks the traditional spot where Saint Peter was crucified the circular chapel was also an obvious homage to the pagan god Janus and the Golden Age he represented The Mona Lisa and the Tempietto are completely intertwined with the dualistic symbolism of Janus as well as Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella who formed a symbolic "Janus couple" themselves Lund says the landscape of the Mona Lisa shows a diametrically opposed view between right and left sides such that the unsuspecting viewer becomes the god Janus by looking in two directions at once "The split landscape view is arguably one of the greatest creative concepts in the history of art I'm not smart enough to think of such a fantastic idea as turning viewers into a two-faced god without their knowledge but I am smart enough to recognize Leonardo da Vinci's genius," says Lund NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Months after the state child advocate reported finding abuse the board of directors for Tides Family Services has agreed to take over all of the operations at St Interim CEO Charles Montorio-Archer Mary’s shortly after the child advocate’s report became public in January Mary’s board had proposed having Tides take over the day-to-day management according to a copy of his email to the St Mary’s “team” that was obtained by the Boston Globe It is unclear what Montorio-Archer’s role will be after Tides takes over Mary’s Board President Jeff Cascione was expected to outline the details of the arrangement in a town hall-style meeting for St Montorio-Archer called the arrangement “a significant step forward in our commitment to stabilizing our organization Tides brings widespread experience and expertise in helping vulnerable youth and their families through the provision of educational and community based services which will complement our organizational strengths and enhance our ability to fulfill our mission.” a nonprofit founded in 1877 as an orphanage within the Episcopal diocese It is the only psychiatric residential treatment facility for children in Rhode Island and Families has spent more than $29 million since 2019 in its contract for children in state care However, last May, DCYF and the Office of the Child Advocate launched dual investigations into St Mary’s a few weeks after a teenager overdosed That led the agencies to uncover vast problems including physical and sexual abuse DCYF finally stopped placing children at St after a boy running away was hit by a Jeep There are now 10 children remaining in its care Tides Family Services provides in-home services to families in Providence its programs “wrap around” the client and the family and offer counseling that focuses on personal strengths and 24/7 coverage for emergency crisis situations The board of Tides Family Services announced on Wednesday afternoon that it had voted to move forward with the agreement to take over the management at St “Tides has a 40-year record of helping vulnerable Rhode Island youth and their families through the provision of high quality educational and community-based behavioral health services,” Tides CEO Beth Bixby said in prepared remarks Wednesday Tides will begin to integrate our services staff and move forward with an expanded continuum of care model that includes best practice elements identified by SAMHSA to meet the behavioral health needs of children.“ Tides does not have experience in psychiatric residential treatment services for children There were no specifics about how the arrangement will work The executive director for the Rhode Island Coalition for Children and Families said Wednesday afternoon in response to questions from the Globe that the group looked forward to reviewing the details of the arrangement and how it will enhance the quality of services “Our priority at the Rhode Island Coalition for Children and Families is the safety and well-being of children and youth and ensuring they have access to a comprehensive and quality system of care,” executive director Tanja Kubas-Meyer said in a statement “While we don’t have specifics about the proposed management services Tides Family Services is a trusted organization with 40 years of experience serving and supporting Rhode Island’s most vulnerable children and families.” who represents the North Providence district that includes St said that it’s been a priority for the Senate to have quality residential psychiatric treatment for girls (There are currently dozens of youths in placements out of state.) “Tides Family Services has earned an extraordinary reputation for providing effective services for vulnerable youth in a professional stable environment,” Ruggerio said in a statement “I expect that their expertise will lead to improvements at Saint Mary’s and will make them a good neighbor for my constituents and for our entire North Providence community.” Ruggerio said he’ll work with Tides to address the concerns of neighbors who’ve reported children running

the exemplary work they’ve done over the decades they’ve been involved they have extensive experience in child welfare the young adults and the adolescents who will be there,” DiPalma said Wednesday There were no details immediately released about what the state will pay for the collaboration Neither Cascione nor Bixby responded to requests for comment but did not answer questions about what the state will pay “We are encouraged by this news and are looking forward to continuing to work with both entities in the coming days as they outline a plan for the operations of the facility going forward,” DCYF said in a statement adding that the agency will continue to monitor the youths who are still placed at St Other agencies have launched investigations into St investigated in January and found deficiencies that threaten St Mary’s federal certification as a psychiatric residential treatment facility Disability Rights Rhode Island has an ongoing investigation and is continuing to receive complaints the executive director of Disability Rights Rhode Island said Wednesday that she was concerned about the announcement and the “lack of transparency surrounding the partnership.” Mary’s remains under investigation by multiple agencies yet none of these agencies were notified or provided the opportunity to weigh in,” Murray said in a statement to the Globe “It is not apparent whether Tides has the expertise to run such an intensive level of placement DRRI questions why DCYF continues to prop up these Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities rather than investing into a full continuum of community-based services for youth with trauma and behavioral health needs.” Disability Rights legal director Kristine Sullivan said in a recent interview with the Globe that there were several children at St Mary’s who have been ready to be discharged for months or a year but have been languishing because there is no ability to transition them into the community Mary’s

Sivakov was able to take advantage of UAE Team Emirates' strength in depth Jan Christian and Diego Ulissi all strong and overall threats "We made it hard for Astana on the long climb of the day," he said "I attacked there and got isolated with Lutsenko and George Bennett towards the top We had numbers in the back and that helped me save energy for a long time I started to pull with the guys and the number advantage of the team behind helped me to keep a lot of turns and so have energy in the end." The final 175km stage of the Giro d'Abruzzo started in Montorio al Vomano and included several short climbs before the big one – the 14.2km Castel del Monte climb coming after 110km Sebastian Sébastien (Tudor Pro Cycling Team) Alessandro Tonelli (VF Group-Bardiani CSF - Faizanè) Adrien Maire (TDT-Unibet Cycling Team) and Simone Raccani (Zalf Euromobil Fior) formed the first serious attack and opened a 1:40 gap forcing Astana Qazaqstan to lead the chase The six riders stayed away over the Forca di Penne climb with 75km to race but were caught on the Castel del Monte as the battle for the stage and the final GC exploded Bennett and Lutsenko got away and stayed away on the descent with Sivakov making sure to take the three-second time bonus in the intermediate sprint in Calascio after 130km Bingo BW and Tudor lead the chase but the final climbs meant the trio stayed away until L'Aquila and the final showdown for the stage victory and to allow Sivakov and Bennett to join Lutsenko on the final GC podium time bonuses eventually made the difference in the overall classification Bennett moved up to third overall at 34 seconds, while another UAE man, Adam Yates and Yannis Voisard (Tudor Pro Cycling) dropped off the podium Results powered by FirstCycling Join the conversation You can save this article by registering for free here.

Townhome prices start from the $340,000s and their rear detached garage homes also start at the same price. Very happy to be back in Beaumont, the Berubes didn’t really expect this turn of events as life threw them a curveball. But in the end it turned out to be a home run. “One thing I like about the Triomphe area is that there are a lot of walking paths, there’s lakes and there’s quite a bit of wildlife,” said JR, adding it’s the first place in a long time where he knows the name of all his neighbours on his block. “People are very friendly.” Coming to Beaumont to live here again, he added, is like coming home. Montorio notes that buyers really love being close to South Edmonton, Nisku and the Edmonton International Airport, and the overall competitive pricing when it comes to building a home there. Mike Fekete probably knows just about everything there is to know about building homes. His family started building homes in Edmonton 91 years ago and they’re now a fourth generation homebuilder. When it came time to build his own dream home, he chose Triomphe. Beaumont, according to Fekete, was actually never an option even though Beaumont was on his wife’s radar. “I said never in a million years will I ever live in Beaumont,” said Fekete. “Well, look at me now! I built my forever home there.” “We started to look at land and the land cost in Beaumont was so much less and obviously I can build a house for a good price but the affordability factor — we got everything we wanted, the house size we wanted and a finished basement and we wouldn’t have been able to attain that had we obtained land in Edmonton,” said Fekete. As to why Triomphe, Fekete said the architectural and design standards drew him in, there were a number of already established amenities in place including walking paths and being within walking distance from schools – he has two very young children. Then there was the friendliness aspect. “I know all my neighbours, I say hi to all my neighbours in Triomphe,” said Fekete. “It’s like what I experienced growing up in the 1980s in southwest Edmonton — people were saying hello; you just knew your neighbours more. I didn’t have that feeling again until I moved to Triomphe.” Fekete’s dream home is a two-storey house done in a Prairie style with Hardie board siding, comes in at 2,500 square feet, includes a finished basement, a triple-car garage, and was built to a high energy efficiency level. Triomphe developer MLC is servicing two new phases this year totalling 69 lots and bringing on the following homes and two more builders: Amrik Homes and Gill Built Homes. Montorio Homes and Finesse Homes will be building townhomes; Active Homes, Amrik Homes, Gill Built Homes and Montorio Homes will be building rear-drive homes (this detached garage home is a new product type for Triomphe) while Active Homes, Amrik Homes, Gill Built Homes and Montorio Homes will build front-drive homes. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

The brand says it’s a sequel to its hugely successful 2006 campaign ad Evolution which shone a light on the impossible beauty ideals of the advertising industry and media Reverse Selfie begins with a young woman posting a photo of herself on social media with the woman undoing the tweaks and staging that went into creating the image to reveal it’s not a woman at all behind the picture “At the time that Evolution was released the beauty industry was seen as doing the most damage to women’s self-esteem but since then the world has evolved and now it’s selfie apps and the pressures of social media that pose the biggest threats,” says Daniel Fisher “Not enough people are talking about the issue but hopefully this campaign will change that As the father of two young daughters myself I really hope it can make a difference.”  The focus of the campaign is on reversing the damage social media continues to have on young women and girls a set of photographic posters shot by Sophie Harris-Taylor have been created Each girl is shown with her natural face split with the heavily edited version With over a year now spent living through a pandemic the campaign calls for action instead of simply awareness This is why Dove is also offering a Social Media Confidence Kit one version for parents and another for teachers The kit encourages parents and teachers to have ‘the Selfie Talk’ with the young people in their lives which they equate to being just as much as important as conversations about puberty “Now that social media has grown to be part of our everyday lives digital distortion is happening more than ever and tools once only available to the professionals can now be accessed by young girls at the touch of a button without regulation,” says Dove’s executive vice president Alessandro Manfredi “Girls all around the world have begun to feel the pressure to edit and distort how they look to create something ‘perfect’ which cannot be achieved in real life.”  Dove hopes to start a movement to build confidence with the hashtag and will be running ads all over the world across TV Porto Rocha has created a bright and confident brand for the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) that references its striking architecture The Paddington director has shot a trio of black and white shorts asking cinemagoers to put their phones on silent We talk to ad agency Joan about expanding the US shop into the UK and its focus on creating idea-first work that creates talkability moments on social Brands are treading a delicate path in an age of increasing protectionism where having a strong national identity can be a blessing or a curse Copyright © 2025 Centaur Media plc and / or its subsidiaries and licensors Built by Standfirst We deliver!
