After Louise returned to Cape May from the rehabilitation visits in Baltimore, it felt as if both she and Archer's medical team at AtlantiCare were running out of options to stabilize Archer enough that he could be transported. Louise interviews the chief pulmonology surgeon as they look back on this medical dilemma. But while the medical team was low on options, the community was not. Join her to hear about the news of a prayer vigil for Archer at Friends School, the creation of Archer's Army t-shirts, Archer's tree, and Louise's special encounter with an attendant at a gas station. In Season 2: Episode 14: Low on Options, Full of Community, Louise reflects on our dual nature during crisis. In this episode you will hear excerpts of an interview with: Dr. Edward Hamaty, Chief of Critical Care at AtlantiCare Hospital, Head of Pulmonary, and Archer's chief lung surgeon, who met with Louise one-on-one in the Trauma ICU and performed Archer's pleurodesis surgery and other lung surgeries in the 30 days he was at AtlantiCare. He and Louise reflect on the staggering odds that Archer was still alive from all that went wrong from his injury and trying to minimize secondary harm. Victoria Vox created the theme music.

Our egos and fear can overwhelm us when we are deep in the foxhole on the front lines of trauma. Louise had to let go of some of her old ideas about what is “proper” and just let all the rawness come out as she instinctively felt she needed to circle her troops, her community, her friends. In the midst of this unfolding trauma, she discovers a friend whose presence she felt the first time their eyes met but didn’t realize it was so mutual and so divine until Cathy G. confirmed the story. Louise also begins to explore with listeners the potential of trauma-informed Intensive Care Units and medical courses in trauma and trauma healing for nurses and doctors as part of core medical school curricula and gives a shout out to other SCI folks.Join Louise for this episode of Blink of an Eye: Episode 16 In the FoxholeAugust 7. DAY 3. In this episode, you will hear interview excerpts fromPaula Senft Easton, Louise’s eldest child, and only daughter, and Archer’s sister, who was 24 at the time of Archer’s accident and is today the Associate Director of Admissions for the Friends School in BaltimoreandCathy Giannascoli, a friend in Pennsylvania and the Senft family’s summer neighbor in Cape May #hopeforeverything #obtaineverything
Their pain and trauma is YOUR pain and trauma. This is how it can be when we watch a loved one suffering in any way. It may be simpler to wall off, bury it, or choose not to acknowledge it to lessen trauma’s grip. Oh, going that route can cause so much damage to your body, including your organs, and your ability to deal with future traumas. Nope, you can’t avoid it. You gotta go through it, sooner or later. Walk through the experience with Louise and her pillar of strength, Paula, her daughter, as they revisit how trauma of a loved one can reduce you to a spent dandelion being blown randomly in the wind.

Louise saw the ashen look on her daughter’s face as they passed in the doorway. She was confused until she heard what the nurse had told Paula, Pete, and Archer, “It’s just swelling.” One sentence was a gut punch sucking the hope out of the room and maybe the life out of her son. Louise was in a hateful fury over the insensitivity of someone who was supposed to be looking out for Archer’s well-being. How do we overcome the hurts of others’ heartless words? People in authority wield a lot of power. This includes nurses. But they are not all-knowing, are they? Join Louise for this episode of Blink of an Eye: Episode 13 What Not to Say August 7. DAY 3.

Mark has helped raise more than $30 million for the organizations he has served.

He is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, ASAE – The Center for Association Leadership, and the American Bar Association. He is one of the contributing authors of the book “Do Your Giving While You're Living” by Edie Fraser and Robyn Spizman, as well as the Editor and contributing author of – Business Planning Tools for Non-Profit Organizations – First and Second Editions.

In addition to an undergraduate degree from St. Mary's College, Mark holds Executive Certificates in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and, Transformational Nonprofit Leadership, from the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame. About the interview in Mark's words: One of my favorite reminders that I have repeatedly shared with entrepreneurs over the years is to remember to spend time working ON your business and not just IN your business. Being a small business owner puts you square in the crosshairs of finding yourself doing everything on any given day in order to make your business run successfully. So much so, that it has the ability to become all-consuming – either out of necessity to survive or just plain unplanned success. In both cases, seeing the forest for the trees often takes a back seat to sustaining your business and the chances for long-term success can be compromised. So how do you know when it's time to take a step back? What are five (5) warning signs that you may be working too much IN your business and not enough ON your business? 1. You aren't questioning enough anymore. You are just in a “move from project to project” mode and it's all about just getting the work done and no time for anything else. 2. You aren't listening enough anymore. You stop relying on those who are working with you or for you for insights and ideas and you think you need to have all of the answers to every problem that surfaces. 3. You think you have to control everything including the outcomes. You keep telling yourself that if you just do this and just do that you will get the desired results without recognizing which variables are in your control and which are not in your control. 4. You either lose the ability to admit you were wrong, or become so attached to your honest but naive loyalty to your ideas, or your strong sense of perseverance won't stop and becomes unrealistic. In either situation, the result is ultimately the same outcome. You lose sight of the big picture, and you escalate your commitment to following a path that is leading you in circles instead of moving you forward. 5. You have used the phrase more than once in the past two weeks – “I just don't have the time to do anything else!” Once you begin to rationalize NOT taking the time is a clear sign that you have started down a path of potential misfires and bad decisions. If you find that you have experienced one or more of these warning signs recently, do yourself and your business a favor and STOP. Take a half-day for yourself and get out of your own way and go to spend time away from your office and business and think about where you want your business to be in 3 months, 6 months a year. Dust off that business plan and see how close you are to the plan with your current state of affairs. Remember, Albert Einstein, said it best – “Insanity is best defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Pray hard…It’s an uncomfortable room. The chairs are heavy, the air is still, and all eyes are on Dr. Kris Radcliff. This was a family meeting no one would ever forget. Louise knew that a Family Meeting with Archer’s surgeon was her family’s chance to be together to ask questions. Like most of their other Family Meetings, it was an opportunity to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. But this time was different. It was far from their typical family meetings and would have a lasting impact. Through two interviews, Episode 4 explores this moment from both sides: through the eyes of Dr. Kris Radcliff, who performed Archer’s initial neck surgery, and from the perspective of Archer’s big sister, Paula Senft Easton. And, you’ll hear parts of a voice memo that was recently recovered from the night itself. Join Louise for this episode of Blink of an Eye: Episode 6 The Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda’s August 6. DAY 2. In this episode, you will hear interview excerpts from Paula Senft Easton, Louise’s eldest child, and only daughter who was 24 at the time of Archer’s accident and is today almost 30 and Associate Director of Admissions for the Friends School in BaltimoreDr. Kris Radcliff, a spinal surgeon from the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia, and Archer’s initial neck surgeon at Atlanticare#hopeforeverything #obtaineverything

Much to do on a Friday edition of GCR. Instead of sending everyone to Arizona, MLB wants to split teams between Florida and Arizona-which makes more sense, we guess? Early in the show, Drew Forrester joined us to discuss that, "The Frank Fund" and the Seton Hall poll showing sports fans won't go to games until there's a coronavirus vaccine. Late in Hour 1, long-time Ravens VP Kevin Byrne joined us to discuss his decision to retire, his tenure in Baltimore, some awesome memories and the strange nature of the current time (including fears about Draft hacking). Early in Hour 2, we shined the Senior Spotlight on a Friends School lacrosse player and Jon Proctor checked in for an exhibition quiz with a TV/movie theme. And we wrapped with a conversation with Baltimore native/former St. Louis Cardinals 1B Mark Hamilton, who is graduating from medical school today just in time to help the coronavirus fight.

Have you ever intuited the name of a plant? A few years ago, I traveled to San Diego. I was sitting on a bench outside the hotel and I spied the most amazing blossom - three bright orange petals and three blue petals - it looked like the head of a bird. My mind latched onto "bird of paradise," I looked it up on my phone and sure enough, it was just that. Brevities #OTD English author, translator, and Clerk to the Kitchen of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Leonard Mascall (died 1589) was buried at Buckinghamshire, in 1589. Mascall published a number of books; all were aimed at household management. In 1572 Mascall published, "A book of the Arte and Maner Howe to Plante and Graffe All Sortes of Trees."Along with cultivating fruit trees, this book was the first to refer to the secateurs or pruning knife. The word secatuers is taken from the Latin secare‘to cut’. Mascall's last book was published a year after he died. Called "The Booke of Engines and Traps." In it, Mascall shared 34 traps and 9 Recipes for poison bates; most of which were dedicated to trapping mice. Mascall wrote about how to control slugs and snails - he described picking them off by hand early in the morning. #OTD It's the birthday of John Hope who lived during the Scottish enlightenment; he was a botanist , a famous professor, and founder of one of the leading botanical gardens in Europe, born on this day in 1725. Hope produced considerable work on plant classification and physiology. He was appointed to positions of the King's botanist for Scotland and superintendent of the Royal Garden in Edinburgh. At the time, Edinburgh was THE place to study medicine and all medical students had to take botany courses. Hope created a school for botanists after spinning off the materia medica (pharmacy) department of the school which allowed him to specialize exclusively on botany. Hope was a captivating instructor. He was one of the first two people to teach the Linnean system, he also taught the natural system. He was one of the first instructors to use big teaching diagrams or visual aids to teach his lectures. His students traveled from all over the world Europe, America, and India. Hope taught over 1,700 students during his tenure and they included the likes of James Edward Smith, founder and first President of the Linnaean Society, Charles Drayton and Benjamin Rush. A field botanist, Hope encouraged his students to go out an investigate the Flora of Scotland and he awarded a medal every year to the student who collected the best herbarium. With Hope's impressive resume came impressive wealth. By the time Hope died, he had amassed more than £12,000 which he left to his wife. #OTD It's the birthday of Alan Robertson Gemmell; a Professor of Biology at Keele University and a regular member of the panel on the BBC Radio program Gardeners' Question Time beginning in 1950 and co-hosting for some 30 years, Gemmel was born in 1913. When Gemmell was invited to appear on the Gardeners Question Time, Keele Univeristy allowed it provided the school would be mentioned in the credits and as long as Gemmell appeared during University time. Gemmell spoke with a calm, Scottish voice. In his obituary, it was said he could, persuade followers of Gardeners Question Time to plant, "the most vicious weed." An academic, Gemmel often disagreed with fellow panelists like Fred Loads or Bill Sowerbutts who offered more off-the-cuff or hearsay advice. It was Alan Gemmell who wrote in one of his columns, "One of the major loves of my life is the potato. In fact my colleagues on Gardener's Question Time sometimes referred to me as spud Gemmel, since not only do I enjoy devouring that delectable vegetable, I also enjoy devouring anything which has been written about it. #OTD This entire week, May 5 - May 11 is International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW). (ICAW) is the largest and most comprehensive education initiative of the compost industry. It is celebrated nationwide in Canada and in other countries each year during the first full week of May. Started in Canada in 1995, ICAW has continued to grow as the importance of composting and the long-term benefits from organics recycling. Each year, a theme is chosen. The theme for this year is Cool the Climate - Compost! #OTD This weekend is the 30th Anniversary of the Friend's School Plant Sale in Minneapolis/St. Paul. With more than 2,450 plant varieties — may be the largest plant sale in the U.S. It’s a fund-raising event sponsored by theFriends School of Minnesota, a small Quaker K – 8 school in the Hamline-Midway area in Saint Paul. New Plants for 2019 include: Peony, Sweet Marjory: Neat and sweet pink cactus-style flowers with streaks of cream, green, and deep rose pink. Yellow fluff of stamens in the center. Slightly fragrant. Early to mid-season. French Hollyhock, Bibor Felho: Fuchsia with dark purple veins and halo surrounding a white center star. Blooms June–September. "Bibor Felho" is Hungarian for ‘Purple Cloud.’ Considered a biennial to short-lived perennial, but can be treated as a self-seeding annual. Drought-tolerant. Unearthed Words It's the birthday of scientist Cecelia Page who discovered while still in graduate school that stars are made largely of the two lightest chemical elements – hydrogen and helium; she was born in 1900. When Celia was eight, she decided to become a scientist. She had been walking in an orchard when she suddenly recognized a plant she had heard her mother describe – the plant that looks like a bumble: the bee orchid. Later she recalled her excitement at seeing the plant the first time: “For the first time I knew the leaping of the heart, the sudden enlightenment, that were to become my passion… These moments are rare, and they come without warning, on ‘days to be marked with a white stone’.” And it is Ceclia Page who said these wonderful quotes: “An admission of ignorance may well be a step to a new discovery.” and then this one (which harkened back to Page's discovery of the bee orchid). “The reward of the young scientist is the emotional thrill of being the first person in the history of the world to see something or understand something.” Today's book recommendation: Botanical Sketchbooks by Helen and William Bynum Botanical Sketchbooks is a compendium of the diverse ways plants have been observed, studied, and immortalized in centuries of art. Botanical Sketchbooks features 275 illustrations of flora from around the world, dating from the 15th to 20th century. In addition, the book highlights some rare works and lesser-known botanical artists. Today's Garden Chore It's another Photo Friday in the Garden. Today go to a spot in your garden and take as multiple shots of one thing from a number of different vantage points. One of the ways we get better at taking pictures of our garden, is by experimenting with perspective. The wonderful thing about digital, is that you can take as many pictures as you want. Challenge yourself with a number: 20 shots, 50 shots, or more of the same thing. Then, see how many capture what you wanted exactly right. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart While I was researching Leonard Mascall, I came across a bit of his advice regarding the placement of tender trees and shrubs. What I especially loved about this is the notion that even in the 1600's, gardeners would push zones a bit. This is from The Guardian (www.theguardian.com), Dec 9, 1891: "Mascall said, "Commonly, the most part of trees do love the sun at noon, and yet the south wind is very contrary against their nature, and specially the almond tree, the apricot, the mulberry, the fig tree, the pomegranate tree." A gardener remarked: I am sure there is much in this. It is quite certain that all Japanese trees like shade and a north aspect; and the finest most fruitful old mulberry tree that I have ever seen is at Rochester, growing in a corner where it looks to the north and east, and is thoroughly protected from the south and west." Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Tom's guests today are three innovators who are working at the frontiers of high technology -- a technology that could be moving us closer to the historic milestone futurists call the “Singularity,” when human cognition merges with machines. Whether it’s intelligent robotic systems for the battlefield, or biomechanical limbs that really touch and feel, or those Internet-based oracles -- think Siri, Echo and Alexa -- that are starting to run our smart homes, it’s easy to believe that the ----future---- is very nearly upon us. But are we ready for it? Do we understand how these smart machines will change our lives? Do we know how to navigate safely through the complex -- and sometimes dangerous -- cyber landscape that suddenly surrounds us?Tom's three guests today will help us answer those questions.Joining us in the studio is Tina Williams-Koroma. She’s a lawyer, entrepreneur, educator and the founder and president of TCecure, a Silver Spring, Maryland, company that provides cyber-security and network intelligence to public sector and commercial clients.Also with us in the studio is Bob Armiger. He is a robotics expert who leads the Biological Sciences and Engineering Group at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, where his current projects include developing neuro-prosthetic limbs that can restore full sensory function to warfighter amputees.And joining the conversation by phone is Harris Edge. He’s the Acting Chief of the Autonomous Systems Division of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Harford County, Maryland, and has been leading research on a variety of unmanned vehicles, drones and intelligent “limbed” machines designed to support military units, in and out of combat.All three of Tom's guests will be taking part in an expanded Great Talk panel, titled ----Star Trek Technology, Innovations and Ideas -- For Real---- next Tuesday, March 20 @ 7pm, in the Forbush Auditorium of The Friends School of Baltimore at 5114 N.Charles Street. Follow the Great Talk link above for ticket and schedule information for this event and others in this inaugural Season of Talk series.
Did you know that only about 1 in FIVE plastic bottles are ever recycled? And that it can take between 400 and 1,000 years to decompose. It’s actually estimated that humans are purchasing one million plastic bottles… PER MINUTE. Let that sink in. One million bottles PER MINUTE globally. And with 91% of those bottles never being recycled… that’s a lot of plastic that’s going to just end up in landfills, streams, creeks, and the ocean. I’m not trying to sound like some crazy tree hugger, but that’s a pretty alarming number. So what if each of us, made at least ONE simple, small change in 2018 to reduce the amount of plastic we are using and consuming? What if there was a company that was out there that could help you along the way? My guest this week is Lindsay McCoy, founder of Plaine Products, a clean and zero waste bath and body company! They’re doing so much to positively impact the environment and you will love hearing all about them… You can use the coupon code MOLLY for 20% off at checkout to give Plaine Products a try! About Lindsey: Lindsey McCoy has a master’s degree in nonprofit management and spent the last 10 years working on environmental education in the Bahamas, islands full of single-use plastic.

Being a dream driver isn't only about chasing the dream, but also about keeping up with all of life's many other responsibilities. With life being hectic at times, what are the best ways to truly juggle everything? How can we learn to successfully manage it all? We chat with publicist Alli Rodriguez about her dream driving story and the ways that she has been able to balance the many facets of her life including the 9-5 career, the "dream", family, relationships, school, and self. Though all of our experiences and life circumstances are not the same, it IS possible to find ways to carve out time for our dreams and stay sane. Make sure to join in on the conversation online (@dreamsindrive) and use the hashtag #dreamsindrive. Enjoy! IN THIS PODCAST WE DISCUSS:- How Alli knew she wanted to be a publicist - Creating opportunities for yourself - Pivotal points early in her career - Building relationships - Letting passion drive you - Taking breaks - Juggling everything & settling boundaries - Facing her father's varying position on what it means to be a woman - Finding herself & distancing herself from toxic relationships + haters - Building confidence & cultivating strong relationships *SHOW NOTES: www.dreamsindrive.com/alli-rodriguez *SUBSCRIBE: www.dreamsindrive.com/join *RESOURCES: www.dreamsindrive.com/free Follow Dreams In Drive on Social: *twitter.com/dreamsindrive *instagram.com/dreamsindrive Follow Alli on Social: *instagram.com/allirodriguezpr *twitter.com/allirodriguezpr Follow Rana on social: *instagram.com/rainshineluv *twitter.com/rainshineluv
Although we often think of the term ‘ecosystem ‘ as being related to the greater Earth, we are actually part of multiple ecosystems. These ecosystems exist wherever we work, live or learn. Today we speak with Jenny Rowe, head of school at the Friends School of Portland, and Jan Robinson, owner of EcoHome Studio, about the work they are doing to improve our indoor ecosystems. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2015/11/indoor-ecosystems-at-home-at-school-218/
