The Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing sculpture near Kaiser Oakland hospital is a reminder of its legacy of disruptive innovation by 1,065 nurse graduates Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing class of 1957 and President of the KFSN Alumni Association Board The powerful legacy of the Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing was honored on June 20 when a sea of white caps came to dedicate a sculpture installed at the new Kaiser Oakland hospital a few hundred yards from the site of the original school herself a Kaiser baby of World War II Kaiser shipyard workers hosted this culmination of a multi-year project At the end of World War II when the Permanente health plan opened to the public The Permanente Foundation established the school in 1947 to train more nurses and help alleviate the shortage Before it closed in 1976 it had produced 1,065 nurses and boasted numerous accomplishments It trained a diverse pool of highly skilled nurses and student scores in State Board Examinations consistently ranked in the top three of all California programs California’s first nurse practitioners were trained there by physicians from The Permanente Medical Group so they could better work in a pre-paid healthcare system that focused on prevention and wellness Betty Saletta’s sculpture is an homage to all nurses in the profession and the nurse’s image was a composite of characteristics of multiple ethnicities representing the diversity of KFSN students The dedication was attended by scores of nurse graduates and Kaiser Permanente officials and physicians The school administration reported to Vohs and he recounted efforts to keep the school alive when California changed its accreditation requirements Vice President of National Patient Care Services pointed out that nurses constitute about a third of the Kaiser Permanente workforce — over 50,000 people Chow reminded us of how far the nursing profession has come since the earlier days when many treatment responsibilities previously only held by physicians are now widely practiced by today’s nurses a proud graduate of the first class in 1950 who retired last year after 63 years of nursing at Kaiser

managing to find out about this so no one is harmed," Peter Rosenfeld said.  He declined to comment on his son's politics involving a concept called sortition, which refers to the random selection of people to fill political positions, according to the Sortition Foundation. Sortition's roots can be traced back to ancient Greece and it is a system used today in the United States to select juries

Twitter: @LoHudLegal these annual processions spread the light of the holidays The people of Petaluma sure do enjoy a parade and that goes for neighboring Penngrove as well local folks can witness large or small processions celebrating the local dairy industry the importance of grazing sheep and the joys of inflatable unicorns this love of lining up and going nowhere shifts into hyper-drive with planned parades featuring lighted firetrucks Petaluma has already seen its annual Petaluma Santa Safety Parade featuring Saint Nick and a whole bunch of fire trucks cruising semi-noisily around town The 2024 parades took place in various local neighborhoods on December 2 Still to come is the annual Petaluma Lighted Boat Parade with excellent viewing around the Petaluma Turning Basin But that’s just the beginning of what local organizers plan to roll out Making its whimsical way down Penngrove’s charming (and short) Main Street at 6 p.m the seventh annual Penngrove Parade of Lights will return again visitors from all over gather in Penngrove to watch tractors trucks and other farm vehicles draped in lights there are Penngrove’s various bars and restaurants to visit before and/or after the procession Petaluma’s annual Christmas Tractor Parade – not to be confused with the event just mentioned – is an even smaller and quirkier activity traveling along Petaluma’s rural Eastman Lane and Chapman Ave the parade began during the pandemic as a way to cheer up shut-down residents in one Petaluma neighborhood “My kids and I got the idea off a Hallmark show,” explained Chad Lichty who has organized the event since Christmas of 2020 and we thought a little fresh air might cheer people up.” there were between 10 and fifteen tractors and riding mowers in the parade you never know what some local neighbor will think of to drape in lights and parade down the street Lichty and his neighbors decided to do it more than once delightfully fusing and intermingling with the aforementioned Santa Safety Parade which took the same course as the tractor parade on Tuesday But given the great response from last week’s kick-off we've added a neighborhood Tractor Parade on Friday 13,” Lichty posted shortly after Tuesday procession “Please spread the word to neighbors and friends The bonus parade starts on Eastman Court at 6:30 p.m closing out the Petaluma parade season on Friday family-friendly loop through residential neighborhoods The ride is open to people of all ages in and on all types of wheeled devices – bikes Last year's ride on the west side of town drew over 350 riders the group is riding a very flat 5.4-mile loop Participants should plan to be at the Petaluma Community Center in Lucchesi Park by 5 p.m David Templeton is the Community and Arts & Entertainment Editor of the Petaluma Argus-Courier You can reach him at david.templeton@arguscourier.com NEW YORK — There are 23,000 Croatians in New York and about half of them were crammed into Veslo Mirela Rosini’s great joint on Broadway in Astoria The incomparable Tony Bennett and the equally incomparable Jimmy Breslin are from Astoria but I didn’t see either one of them Thursday afternoon I had called the manager of Veslo early Thursday morning asking what time I should arrive for a seat “You think you have it bad?” Boris Lovrin said “I got here three hours before the game and I couldn’t get a seat.” he was holding a fine glass of wine made from Babic grapes the Croatian red that is as good as anything you’d find in California or France Boris builds houses and looks like he eats nails He introduced me to some hulking guy sitting at the bar in front of us who made a much better door than a window I was about to suggest the dude was the size of Zagreb embodying the name of the great Brazilian player Hulk it initially felt like hanging out with Washington Generals fans about to be slaughtered by the Harlem Globetrotters for the umpteenth time not only one of the greatest teams in the world Playing in Arena Corinthians in São Paulo made it feel like Brazil had a head start even before the first whistle Aside from those who have lived along or seen the breathtaking beauty of the Dalmatian coast But there’s a funny thing about the first game of the World Cup when the Sox are always tied for first before the first pitch looking at me seriously for the first time in 15 minutes of genial banter Cheering for Brazil is like cheering for the New York Yankees It’s like cheering for the Montreal Canadiens But Boris heard the name and made assumptions “I like the Irish,” Boris yelled in my ear as we were splashed with beer and wine after the first goal Then Neymar scored and everybody came down to earth have I mentioned that all the Brazilians are known by a single name “They need to control the midfield,” Boris Lovrin said If the Croatian national team could control the midfield the way their fans in Veslo control their bladders If anybody went to the bathroom during the first half when about enough Karlovacko to fill Lake Michigan was consumed they were probably going to powder their nose and frankly the Croatian crowd looked more concerned than relieved There was a sense that Croatia had let a hard-fought lead slip away in a routine attack by Brazil Fred -- I would love to see Brazil land a player named Wilma -- fell in the penalty box All I’ll say is that the Russian judge gave it a 9.5 off the lunging fingertips of Stipe Pletikosa the sense of grievance was as thick as the Ćevapčići that the big guy from Zagreb was eating at the bar It’s not just the Croatians who think Brazil gets all the calls Brazil is the New England Patriots of world soccer The sense of injustice grew only more visceral in Veslo when a Croatian goal to tie the game in the dying minutes was disallowed because a Croatian player interfered with the Brazilian goaltender Cesar was immediately nominated in Veslo for best actor at the Dubrovnik Film Festival The Brazilian goal in added time was just an insult like having to listen to a Slobodan Milosevic victory speech Croats are alternately furious and philosophical about the result they probably know they lost to a better team Boris Lovrin came to the United States 35 years ago He made a good living here and he made good friends here He loves this country as much as he loves his native country But there’s no place like home and some day to the Croatian coast that is considerably more beautiful than the beautiful coastline he calls home on Long Island More World Cup

Charlotte Lovrin: It's been a while since you've been in New Zealand with everything going on with the pandemic and all It's been a long time for us since we've been in New Zealand and it's always been a lot of fun when we've gone over there It makes a lot of sense for us to head back and to keep coming back to New Zealand Lots of new material and obviously by the time we get over there It's a balancing act between new songs and old songs and trying to get that balance right it's almost more interesting playing new stuff so we'll work in a set which hopefully finds that equilibrium Were there any lyrical themes or ideas that directed the new album Was it made with a specific theme or themes in mind Dave Hosking: (The) last record (Suck On Light) was very much around some health issues but it's almost like I've kind of got so much better over such a long time Every year I improve but it kind of feels like I've got one foot in the real world and another foot still persevering to get better I had some mental health challenges which popped up in the middle of that so I think a lot of the record is about perseverance and courage and also the impact of that on my relationships.. it's a kind of conglomerate of all that I think which has driven a lot of what the record is about From the sound of the past three singles from this particular record it sounds like the upcoming album is going in a different direction sound wise from the last projects you've done I wanted to know what you could tell me about this change Were you consciously wanting to change your sound we like to think we're trying to find something new that inspires us to help give us a new birth of creativity to work with but the pandemic definitely changed how we started writing music you'd work on an idea by yourself at home and then you'd maybe want to throw on some loops or some drums on top of the chords just to sell what the vibe or the energy of a song is It meant that we were starting to use more electronic drum kits and drum machines and synthesisers and just different ways of capturing an idea by yourself to sell it to the rest of the guys in the band And then a lot of those ideas became foundational parts of the song Even though we put on the band's performance on top of them maybe the syncopation of a loop or a drum machine that felt like the song lacked whenever we got rid of it We spent of lot of time actively deconstructing those elements finding the core pieces of those rhythms and bringing them back in There is a lot more electronic stuff and drum machine stuff but it's playing a very big supportive role probably a bigger supportive role than we've ever had to play before It's been new equipment and new toys to figure out and play and get lost in It's naturally changed what we did on Suck On Light and Limit Of Love which a lot of the songs were written with the band but the band jammed the idea with their instruments Eventually you'd have all these layers in this world where you had to then go in and figure out how do we arrange this and make it into a song but it felt like it was sort of just a way for us to work given the circumstances of the world at that point in time When you were making the music in that way were you concerned about how that would translate live Dave Hosking: I think we've always problem solved on that front relatively well There's probably some songs on the record which we'll have to work out how to play them live but they get a new life from a live perspective so sometimes not all those elements will be in there As long as the feel and the atmosphere of the songs is the same or very similar you can get away with stripping things back or adding more stuff on real drums versus the loop 'cause of lot of what we're doing is layered with drum machine and real drums We can trigger a loop where Tim (Hart) can actually play over the top of it as opposed to Tim trying to play both parts But I'm sure we'll stumble onto some more challenging songs than others Killian Gavin: We've also found some of the songs we've had in the rehearsal studio where we used the loops from the studio that were on the record as part of the rehearsal we felt like it was holding the song back from the energy it could have had live Tim's picking up the core elements of what his role was in the groove and it means that we're able to perform live not being restrained by any sort of tempo or click or anything like that The song can still live and move and have energy and speed up and slow down the way we like to usually have most of our songs work live it's like the grounding tonality perhaps of the band's songs live We can always rework what the other sounds are and what the elements are to help make it make more sense in a live setting Where there any particular genres or artists you were listening to that inspired the sound when you were making the album at least from my perspective when we're writing I'm putting all my musical energy into what we're doing as a band I probably only just started listening to music again in the last two or three months she's always got some sort of instrumental music on in the background.. I haven't been seeking out new bands or finding inspiration from that point 'cause I think your brain gets sort of maxed out and we were writing for two years I was listening to demos and trying to work out the arrangements you're sort of like — I don't know if I've got any room for new music all it does is triggers the analytical part of your brain Where you start thinking about songwriting and you start analysing tonalities and sounds You're not ever really switching off because you're still in the middle of making the album So your brain is constantly being triggered by listening to other music where I rarely listen to much music when we're making an album I don't know if all the other guys do but I know what we definitely do This interview has been edited for length and clarity Te Papaioea electronic artist Synthetic Children will be hitting the road with instrumental four-piece GTKB on a double release tour across Te Ika-a-Māui this June Merging spoken word and experimental techno elements Synthetic Children are preparing for the release of their third album Everything’s Perpetual foreshadowed with yesterday's release of the producer's "most pointedly trans anthem" ‘BODY’ GTKB are set to unveil their five track debut EP Spin (recorded and mixed by First Move's Harry Lilley) on the first day of the tour following the release of fuzzy demo single ‘Brick & Tile’ late last year Hit play on 'BODY' and grip the tour details below..

Tickets available HERE via UTR congratulations on the single and for kicking off the tour I read that the new single 'Living In Two' arose from "feeling divided within yourself." How difficult was it to sit with that feeling and write about it I had been pushing and pulling between two different parts of myself for a while before writing this song so I think by the time I sat down and wrote it it felt like more of a relief to just sit with the feelings address them and acknowledge they weren’t going away anytime soon In what ways has your band been involved with your creative process sending them to the band and getting their feedback as we learn to play them together They’re all creative people and put their own spin on parts where they can The accompanying video is beautifully directed Can you tell me a little bit about the collaborative process behind the video Matilda and I initially met up a few times to discuss the meaning behind the song and after that I gave them complete freedom to create a concept interpreting that meaning however they liked I loved their ideas and when watching the final video felt they captured the inner turmoil I was feeling at the time super well The narrative in the video seems to call upon a large amount of symbolic imagery (ribbons Without giving the game away — could you share your intentions behind some of these images and what they might symbolise I want to try and keep as much of it up to self-interpretation as possible But the ribbons and flowers are both ways of helping me find my way back and the figures are how I got lost The Dimmer tour that you were a part of wrapped up in September last year Did you learn anything from that experience How did you come to be involved with Dimmer I loved the experience of being a part of someone else’s band I learnt a lot around how artists should and shouldn’t be treated in the music industry and I think a higher level of professionalism as a musician I came to be involved through Natasha (Shayne’s Sister) from who I knew in Dunedin and she put my name forward to Shayne I think Shayne then remembered me from Logan Park High School when he did some songwriting mentoring there do you prepare differently when preparing for a show or tour that consists of your own material I find it quite hard to keep running the same song of mine over and over while practising without ruining it for myself so I think I tend to circle back to songs more often rather than keeping on playing them til they’re right I also have more frequent practises rather than long ones which is luckily doable since we all live so close together The price of Kaspa (KAS) has been holding steady near a major resistance zone and many in the crypto community believe that something big could be around the corner KAS has already proven it’s not just another hype-driven coin both on the charts and in terms of tech progress The market has seen coins explode after flipping major resistance into support and Kaspa seems to be knocking on that door now The optimism is not only based on charts but also on what’s going on behind the scenes With the new 10 blocks-per-second capability This upgrade will also attract more miners and truly unlock the potential of the Kaspa BlockDAG protocol The community sees this not just as a speed upgrade but a moment where Kaspa’s unique technology could take center stage Once the KAS price gets past the $0.1 mark King Crypto believes the move to $1 could come faster than many expect His message is clear: builders win in the long run Another strong voice backing Kaspa is analyst Lovrin from @Lovrincrypto He doesn’t mince words when it comes to the tech That means it can handle instant transactions and near-zero fees It’s optimized for pure speed and real-time use $KAS runs on a BlockDAG, not a basic blockchain.•Instant transactions•Near-zero fees•Pure speedIt’s not hype — it’s tech that works in real time.While others are chasing marketing pumps…$KAS is stacking dev updates Lovrin says that while other projects are chasing short-term attention through big marketing moves He sees a real community forming around it with real adoption and real trading volume His take on the KAS price is simple: the chart is only just beginning to show what’s possible Kaspa has stayed mostly out of the spotlight compared to trendier tokens, but that might be changing. As more users discover what it can do, and as the Crescendo upgrade shows its power the next leg up could be much bigger than anyone expected And with everything the project has lined up It’s starting to look like a real possibility Follow us on X (Twitter), CoinMarketCap and Binance Square for more daily crypto updates.Read our recent crypto market updates, news, and technical analysis here Tags: Temitope is a seasoned writer with over four years of experience He specializes in Web3 and FinTech topics and enjoys creating content in these areas He holds both a bachelor's and master's degree in Linguistics CaptainAltcoin.com does not offer any sort of financial or investment advice make educated financial decisions and consult your Financial Advisor All content on CaptainAltcoin is provided solely for informational purposes It is not an offer to buy or sell any security
