Jane is a health professional but she doesn't actually see any patients - rather, she works in a humorous, yet toxic shared office processing applications. It's never what she dreamed of doing. But then, she also kind of likes hiding behind a desk. Jane wonders why she hears a strange voice in her head and often feels like she's wading through black quicksand trying to resume a face of normalcy. Perhaps she's going a little mad. Then there's this condition she has, vitiligo, which causes white patches all over her skin. She finds herself covering these patches up almost as much as - well, just about everything else. Jane's mind frequently travels back to her teenage years, back to when she lived in the coastal tree-lined town of Denmark in a timber cottage on stilts with her artistic mother, Colleen, who was beautiful, vibrant, larger than life - and deeply troubled. She remembers the broken glass, mysterious cuts, and their isolation. The storm cloud days. But most vivid in Jane's recollections is that kind and goofy, crinkle-beamed boy who made her feel warm inside, who somehow made it all better. Try as she might, he'll always have a piece of her heart. And Jane slowly comes to realise... confronting her past may be the only hope she has of saving herself. Dappled is a story that acknowledges the value of being comfortable in your own skin, while also being sensitive to how difficult this can be at times. But most of all, Dappled is a tale about kindness and the healing power of unconditional love. It showcases the heart-warming truth, that when someone is able to love us at our worst, we can be set free to become our best.

DISCLAIMER This is not a publication of the original author but an independent work of LISA BROWN. It is just a summary of the book and does not intend to take the place of the main book ABOUT THE MAIN BOOK Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We're told read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is "appropriation." We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we'll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion--and one that's illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of "white privilege" and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the "woke mob." He shows how this religion that claims to "dismantle racist structures" is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called "antiracism," but it features a racial essentialism that's barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past. Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it's not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black America.

Objective: To determine the level of perceived cultural competence in student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) in Illinois and make educational recommendations. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was completed using the Clinical Cultural Competency Questionnaire (CCCQ) to evaluate the perceived level of cultural competence among SRNAs in Illinois. Four domains of clinical cultural competency [knowledge, skills, attitudes (awareness), and encounters] were evaluated and reported. Results: The survey response rate was 16.7% (N=57). A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between cultural knowledge and age (p=0.03). There is a statistically significant difference in cultural knowledge between students attending a nurse anesthesia program in suburban Northeastern Illinois and students attending a large, urban university in the city of Chicago, with CCCQ knowledge Mean Rank scores of 38.44 and 13.77, respectively. The overall level of perceived clinical cultural competence of SRNAs was low (M=3.13; SD=0.54; Range=2.17 to 4.89) in this study. Conclusion: SRNAs need additional cultural education and training in their program of study to enhance their perceived level of cultural competence and to deliver culturally competent anesthesia care. The desire to become culturally competent coupled with deficient levels of cultural knowledge among SRNAs merits further work.

The next natural step—and imperative— in reinventing the defense supply chain for today’s environment is embedding digital twins in the digital core of the organization. Our research reveals exciting opportunities to do this for a more resilient defense supply chain. But only if the defense community can navigate the complexity of digital twins. A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical object, process or system informed by real-time data that can be used to predict how these elements will respond to different variables.

Fires in the home are a common occurrence which can result in loss of life, property, and cause serious physical harm. Having the skills to evacuate and call emergency services during a fire is vital to increasing the chances of survival and reducing the risk of harm (Challands, 2010). Few studies have taught these skills to adults with an intellectual disability (ID), despite this population being at greater risk of harm during a fire. This study used behaviour skills training (BST) to teach fire evacuation and emergency phone-calling skills to five adults with mild and moderate ID. A multiple probe design was used across participants. The results showed that BST was effective in increasing fire evacuation and emergency phone-calling skills. Generalisation was also programmed for by conducting training and assessment in the natural environment, having staff conduct baseline sessions, using a standard fire alarm sound, starting training from different areas of the household and using a variation of the phone-call script to ensure participants could respond to different versions of the same question. Maintenance was also assessed at a 7-week follow-up for Max and Odette and at a 10-week follow-up for Steven and Anne. Social validity questionnaires suggested that participants and staff found the intervention to be socially valid, appropriate, efficient and effective. Possible limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
