Jennifer Heil: Safety in sport is everyone’s issue

Opinion: Our sport system needs to stop normalizing abusive and harmful behaviours, and stop hiding behind ineffective processes

June 29, 2021

The sport community is grateful for the government’s initiative over the past three years to build safe sport solutions at the national level that protect the most vulnerable — our young athletes. However, action needs to be taken to ensure solutions fully protect victims who come forward to report abuse and harassment in a fair, transparent and accountable manner for all.

Without committed leadership and investment, policies may change but full protection will not result. I know just how important the details are, having spent two years designing and leading the development of the B.C. Safe Sport Program.

That is why we, 13 Canadian Olympic and Paralympic athletes, have sent a letter to the Steven Guilbeault, minister of Canadian Heritage. The letter highlights fundamental gaps in the proposed national safe sport system and requests that the government of Canada act to implement four core minimum standards in order to address these gaps.

These minimum standards include a centralized adjudication process that is fully independent from national sport organizations; victim-centric process safeguards and funding; a centralized sanctions database; and a single code of conduct with consistent language and definitions with supporting educational resources.

In too many cases, the athletes who courageously come forward to report abuse and harassment are silenced or experience further trauma. This happens because the resolution process is managed by the sport organization that employs the person the athlete is making the claim against.

In addition to a mandatory process that is centralized and fully independent from sport organizations, there needs to be sufficient victim-centric safeguards and funding to access legal services. An amateur athlete’s ability to file an abuse complaint should not turn on their financial ability to hire a lawyer. Finally, this same independent and centralized process needs to ensure outcomes are public and sanctions upheld. Anything less perpetuates the status quo, leaving more young people to suffer needlessly.

Our sport system needs to stop normalizing abusive and harmful behaviours, and stop hiding behind ineffective processes. It is a system that accepts abuse under the facade of performance, compounded by the significant power imbalance that exist between athletes and coaches as well as athletes and their sport organizations.

Many of us have learned to normalize this psychological, physical and sexual abuse, and harassment as part of the culture of sport.

Through extensive consultations with stakeholders in the B.C. sport community while developing the B.C. Safe Sport Program, it became apparent that most athletes do not understand their right to train and compete in psychologically and physically safe environments, free from abuse.

Athletes continue to struggle to identify abusive behaviours within their own environments in real time. That is why we believe one code, with consistent language for all sport stakeholders is essential, something the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport intended but will not achieve in practice if sports customize with their own language and sport-specific differences.

While we recognize that sport-specific differences may exist with respect to certain necessary interactions during training or competition, sport organizations should not be judges of what is appropriate behaviour or what is not. These determinations should be entrusted to trained professionals such as investigators or adjudicators.

Everyone in the sport system requires and deserves the right to train and compete in psychologically and physically safe environments, free from abuse and harassment.

It is essential that Canada join other leading sporting nations in the effort to shift the power imbalance to protect the health and well-being of all. Participating in sport in Canada need not come at the cost of experiencing abuse and trauma or being a part of a culture that allows it to happen.

Some athletes win medals even when experiencing these horrific circumstances, therefore perpetuating the current culture. We ask Canadians and all sport stakeholders whether that moment of glory is worth a lifetime of trauma. How can we conscientiously move forward as a people when this remains a reality for athletes in the Canadian sport system? Athlete abuse and trauma ripples through the community as family, friends and teammates feel the effects. This goes beyond a single victim.

These issues need to be addressed today. Now.

We encourage all sport participants to understand their rights and to join the safe sport movement — the goal being a Canadian sport system that upholds the values of safe, inclusive, ethical and respectful environments at every level.

Minister Guilbeault, you have the historic opportunity to protect vulnerable young athletes within the Canadian sport system. One more news headline exposing further horrific athlete abuse is one too many.

Princess Haya: Dubai ruler had ex-wife's phone hacked - UK court

By Frank Gardner (BBC Security Correspondent), 6 October 2021

The High Court has found that the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum, interfered with British justice by ordering the hacking of the phone of his ex-wife, Princess Haya of Jordan.

The phones of her solicitors, Baroness Fiona Shackleton QC and Nick Manners, were also targeted during their divorce custody case, according to the court.

Princess Haya said the discovery had made her feel "hunted and haunted".

Sheikh Mohammed denied any knowledge of the hacking.

He said the court's findings were based on evidence that was not disclosed to him, and that they were "made in a manner which was unfair".

The judgments are a blow to the sheikh and a further revelation as to his treatment of female members of his family.

'Serial breaches'

The High Court judgments, which were published on Wednesday afternoon, referred to the hacking as "serial breaches of (UK) domestic criminal law", "in violation of fundamental common law and ECHR rights", "interference with the process of this court and the mother's access to justice" and "abuse of power" by a head of government.

The president of the Family Division of the High Court found that "the mobile phones of the mother (Princess Haya), two of her solicitors, her personal assistant and two members of her security staff had been the subject of either successful or attempted infiltration by surveillance software. The software used is called Pegasus software and was that of an Israeli company, the NSO Group."

The court concluded that the surveillance was carried out "by servants or agents of the father (Sheikh Mohammed), the Emirate of Dubai or the [United Arab Emirates] and that the surveillance occurred with the express or implied authority of the father".

Difficult to detect

The extent of the hack is shocking in what data it gave the hackers access to.

NSO's Pegasus software, often referred to as "spyware", is able to track the location of the individual using the phone, read their SMS messages, emails and messages in other apps, as well as eavesdrop on their phone calls and access their contact list, passwords, calendar dates and photographs. In other words, it gives the hacker complete access to all the data they want to see in their target's phone.

It also allows the hacker to activate the target's phone without their knowledge, recording their activity and even taking photographs and screenshots.

Similar spyware is alleged to have been deployed by Saudi government agents, working on the orders of the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, against dissidents living abroad, including associates of the murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

It is extremely difficult for a victim of such spyware to even detect that their phone has been infected with Pegasus.

'Very substantial amount of data'

In the ongoing custody case between Sheikh Mohammed and Princess Haya at the Family Division of the High Court, her legal team said the hacking took place with his "express or implied authority".

The president of the court concluded that "in relation to the mother (Princess Haya), it is clear that the [hacking] attempt succeeded with a very substantial amount of data (265MB) being covertly extracted from her phone".

Sheikh Mohammed denied any knowledge of the hacking and said he did not instruct anyone to use NSO "or any software in this way". His legal team said he was not prepared to enter into any debate in relation to what security systems the UAE might have.

The allegations against Dubai's ruler were supported by testimony given by an expert technology witness, Dr William Marczak, who is based in California and is a senior research fellow at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, which researches digital surveillance.

He told the court he had no doubt the phones were hacked using NSO's Pegasus software. He also concluded "with high confidence" that the phones were hacked by a single operator in a nation state. He concluded with medium confidence that it was most unlikely to be any state other than the UAE.

Alarm raised by Cherie Blair

Princess Haya's legal team first became aware that they had been hacked after an urgent phone call made by Cherie Blair QC, the wife of former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, to Baroness Shackleton. Mrs Blair acts as an adviser to NSO Group on business and human rights related issues.

A senior member of NSO's management team called Mrs Blair from Israel on 5 August 2020 to inform her that "it had come to their attention that their software may have been misused to monitor the mobile phones of Baroness Shackleton and HRH Princess Haya".

The NSO staff member then told Mrs Blair that those phones could no longer be accessed using NSO software and they asked for her help in contacting Baroness Shackleton.

NSO, which has previously been accused by human rights groups of enabling autocratic states to carry out intrusive surveillance of dissidents and journalists, has insisted in public statements that it only supplied its spyware to enable governments to counter criminals and terrorists.

NSO is believed to have terminated its contract with the UAE.

'Living in fear of her life'

The hack took place during a critical phase in Sheikh Mohammed and Princess Haya's divorce custody case at the High Court in the summer of last year.

The guardian appointed for her children said it "impacts crucially on the mother and her wellbeing. It is a very pernicious experience if the mother has been subjected to surveillance of the type that she understands that she has been".

Princess Haya's legal team told the court that "the mother has been living in fear of her life frankly, and in fear of the children's security since April of [2019]".

The court also heard how Sheikh Mohammed had attempted to buy a property in Surrey, Parkwood Estate, so close to his ex-wife's home at Castlewood, that "if anyone chose to use it, it is in prime position for direct or electronic surveillance".

Her legal team said "there is a powerful objective case as to why the mother should be genuinely in fear if the father has access to a property overbearing her own".

Referring to the proposed property purchase, Princess Haya told the court: "It feels as if I am being stalked, that there is literally nowhere for me to go to be safe from (the father), or those acting in his interests. It is hugely oppressive."

Hacked during 'significant events'

Princess Haya, a daughter of the late King Hussein of Jordan and half-sister of King Abdullah II, fled Dubai in 2019 for Britain along with her two children after learning that her husband had ordered the abduction of Sheikha Latifa and Sheikha Shamsa.

She has since said she is living in fear of her life after receiving threatening messages from agents of her former husband.

Now her legal team is accusing agents of the Emirate of Dubai of acting on his behalf in hacking the phones of Princess Haya, her solicitors, Baroness Shackleton and Nick Manners, as well as her personal assistant and two members of her security staff.

The hacking took place in July and August 2020 "at a time of significant events" in the court proceedings when hearings were taking place over the welfare of the children.

The judgment concluded that "the allegations of hacking came before the court at a time when it had already made very serious findings against the father".

'Terrible life or death game'

During the long-running custody case at the High Court, Sheikh Mohammed has tried on several occasions through appeals to keep details of the allegations against him out of the public eye. But both in March 2020 and now, in October 2021, they have been made public, although he did not seek to appeal the most recent order permitting publication of these judgments.

Wednesday's ruling that, despite his denials, a sovereign ruler has interfered in the course of British justice by ordering the hacking of UK phones, including of a member of the House of Lords is both shocking, embarrassing and damaging to Sheikh Mohammed's international reputation.

Summing up the hacking allegations made by Princess Haya, her barrister Nicholas Cusworth QC told the court: "It is now clear, essentially, that the mother is engaged in a terrible game, a terrible life or death game of grandmother's footsteps in the dark. While she seeks answers about property purchases, hackers apparently get to work interfering with her privileged communications."

After the publication of the judgments Sheikh Mohammed said in a statement: "I have always denied the allegations made against me and I continue to do so. These matters concern supposed operations of state security.

"As a head of government involved in private family proceedings, it was not appropriate for me to provide evidence on such sensitive matters either personally or via my advisers in a foreign court."

He added: "Neither the Emirate of Dubai nor the UAE are party to these proceedings and they did not participate in the hearing. The findings are therefore inevitably based on an incomplete picture.

"In addition, the findings were based on evidence that was not disclosed to me or my advisers. I therefore maintain that they were made in a manner which was unfair."

Embarrassing as this is for Sheikh Mohammed, there is little or no prospect of his ever having to face any police questioning.

As Dubai's sovereign ruler, he remains a huge figure in the equestrian world, he owns extensive properties in the UK and has been photographed with the Queen at race meetings such as Ascot. The emirate of Dubai is home to around 100,000 British expatriates and both he and the wider UAE government are considered close allies of the UK.

The story is unlikely to get much coverage in the government-monitored media in the UAE, and here in London the UAE Embassy has declined to comment on the case, saying it is a private family matter.

The sheikh himself has sovereign immunity from any future potential prosecution.

Excerpt from this story from Sierra Club:

While 2020 won’t be at the top of anyone’s list of favorite years, at least one good thing happened: Congress enacted legislation that has far-reaching impacts for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT, or Tribes) and western Montana. In its year-end government appropriations and COVID-19 relief legislation, Congress included the Montana Water Rights Protection Act, which ratified the water rights compact between the Tribes, the State of Montana, and the United States. It also settled the Tribes’ claims against the federal government for past federal mismanagement of the Tribes’ water resources. Among other things, the bill will result in extensive restoration work for riparian areas and surrounding habitat on the Flathead Indian Reservation. In addition to water rights provisions, the legislation corrected a century-old injustice by restoring the National Bison Range to the Tribes.

The Flathead Indian Reservation was reserved by the Tribes under the 1855 Hellgate Treaty. In 1908, after Congress established the National Bison Range, the United States took 18,500 acres of land from the Tribes in the center of their Reservation. The Range was then populated with bison acquired from a herd owned and managed by Tribal members for decades prior to their eviction from their lands so that the Reservation could be opened up to non-Indian settlers for homesteading. In 1971, the US Court of Claims held that this federal taking of the Bison Range land had violated the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. The court did not have authority to return the land to the Tribes, but it ordered the United States to pay the Tribes fair market value for the land. While that provided some financial recompense to the Tribes, it was a long way from providing justice for the taking of Treaty land.

The National Bison Range has been managed by the US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The legislation, which was drafted by the Tribes, requires the Tribes to continue to manage the land for bison and wildlife conservation purposes. It also requires continued public access. It further includes a two-year transition period during which the Tribes will assume full management of the Bison Range from FWS.

The False Mechanical Analogies of Scientism

The scientistic method in the study of man is almost wholly one of building on analogies from the physical sciences. Some of the common mechanistic analogies follow.

Man as Servomechanism: Just as Bertrand Russell, one of the leaders of scientism, reverses reality by attributing determinism to men, and free will to physical particles, so it has recently become the fashion to say that modern machines "think," while man is merely a complex form of machine, or "servomechanism."14 What is overlooked here is that machines, no matter how complex, are simply devices made by man to serve man's purposes and goals; their actions are preset by their creators, and the machines can never act in any other way or suddenly adopt new goals and act upon them. They cannot do so, finally, because the machines are not alive and are therefore certainly not conscious. If men are machines, on the other hand, then the determinists, in addition to meeting the above critique, must answer the question: Who created men and for what purpose? — a rather embarrassing question for materialists to answer.15

Social Engineering: This term implies that men are no different from stones or other physical objects, and therefore that they should be blueprinted and reshaped in the same way as objects by "social" engineers. When Rex Tugwell wrote in his famous poem during the flush days of the New Deal:

I have gathered my tools and my charts, My plans are finished and practical. I shall roll up my sleeves — make America over,

one wonders whether his admiring readers thought themselves to be among the directing engineers or among the raw material that would be "made over."16

Model-Building: Economics, and recently political science, have been beset by a plague of "model-building."17 People do not construct theories any more; they "build" models of the society or economy. Yet no one seems to notice the peculiar inaptness of the concept. An engineering model is an exact replica, in miniature, that is, in exact quantitative proportion, of the relationships existing in the given structure in the real world; but the "models" of economic and political theory are simply a few equations and concepts which, at very best, could only approximate a few of the numerous relations in the economy or society.

Measurement: The Econometric Society's original motto was "Science is measurement," this ideal having been transferred intact from the natural sciences. The frantic and vain attempts to measure intensive psychic magnitudes in psychology and in economics would disappear if it were realized that the very concept of measurement implies the necessity for an objective extensive unit to serve as a measure. But the magnitudes in consciousness are necessarily intensive and therefore not capable of measurement.18

The Mathematical Method: Not only measurement but the use of mathematics in general in the social sciences and philosophy today, is an illegitimate transfer from physics. In the first place, a mathematical equation implies the existence of quantities that can be equated, which in turn implies a unit of measurement for these quantities. Second, mathematical relations are functional; that is, variables are interdependent, and identifying the causal variable depends on which is held as given and which is changed. This methodology is appropriate in physics, where entities do not themselves provide the causes for their actions, but instead are determined by discoverable quantitative laws of their nature and the nature of the interacting entities. But in human action, the free-will choice of the human consciousness is the cause, and this cause generates certain effects. The mathematical concept of an interdetermining "function" is therefore inappropriate.

Indeed, the very concept of "variable" used so frequently in econometrics is illegitimate, for physics is able to arrive at laws only by discovering constants. The concept of "variable," only makes sense if there are some things that are not variable, but constant. Yet in human action, free will precludes any quantitative constants (including constant units of measurement). All attempts to discover such constants (such as the strict quantity theory of money or the Keynesian "consumption function") were inherently doomed to failure.

Finally such staples of mathematical economics as calculus are completely inappropriate for human action because they assume infinitely small continuity; while such concepts may legitimately describe the completely determined path of a physical particle, they are seriously misleading in describing the willed action of a human being. Such willed action can occur only in discrete, non-infinitely-small steps, steps large enough to be perceivable by a human consciousness. Hence the continuity assumptions of calculus are inappropriate for the study of man.

Other metaphors bodily and misleadingly transplanted from physics include: "equilibrium," "elasticity," "statics and dynamics," "velocity of circulation," and "friction." "Equilibrium" in physics is a state in which an entity remains; but in economics or politics there is never really such an equilibrium state existing; there is but a tendency in that direction. Moreover, the term "equilibrium" has emotional connotations, and so it was only a brief step to the further mischief of holding up equilibrium as not only possible, but as the ideal by which to gauge all existing institutions. But since man, by his very nature, must keep acting, he cannot be in equilibrium while he lives, and therefore the ideal, being impossible, is also inappropriate.

The concept of "friction" is used in a similar way. Some economists, for example, have assumed that men have "perfect knowledge," that the factors of production have "perfect mobility," and so on, and then have airily dismissed all difficulties in applying these absurdities to the real world as simple problems of "friction," just as the physical sciences bring in friction to add to their "perfect" framework. These assumptions in fact make omniscience the standard or ideal, and this cannot exist by the nature of man.

Coronavirus and Its Impact on Education System in India

Coronavirus and its Impact on Education System in India. The freezing and the extraordinary effect of COVID-19 has shaken the world to its center.

In India as adequately, the government as an aspect of the cross country lockdown has shut every scholastic establishment, as a result of which, students going from school-going children to postgraduate understudies, are influenced.

These cross country terminations are influencing over 91% of the universes' student people. Various distinctive worldwide areas have applied confined terminations influencing a tremendous assortment of additional students. UNESCO is supporting global areas of their endeavors to relieve the fast effect of workforce terminations, especially for extra frail and denied networks, and to encourage the rationality of preparing for all through removed contemplating.

Moreover, it will introduce an open entryway for teachers to furnish you with hand crafted reading answers for every understudy.

A whole insurgency inside the technique we be instructed right now has been accomplished by Know-how. Each student will engage with a first class preparing, which isn't clear to present by the conventional white chalk and blackboard strategy for instructing. This new contemplating is additional eye catching, redone and lovely. A huge open on-line course (MOOC) is a web course pointed toward boundless interest and open passage by method of the net. India is considered to be the biggest commercial center for MOOCs on the planet after the USA. For the explanation that assortment of occupants in India is huge, enormous open on-line course (MOOC) is asserted to open entryways for a huge load of Indians with regards to bringing a scholastic unrest. On-line killed considering bundles give a marvelous function to income awesome concentrating with the help of web network.

Advanced learning has many advantages in itself like computerized learning has no actual limits, it has more learning commitment ability moderately than the customary examining, furthermore it is clever and understudies will be instructed inside the bounds of their typical change of commonality. In any case, computerized learning isn't with out its limitations and difficulties, since up close and personal transaction is generally seen as the ideal kind of correspondence as in examination with the moderately impersonalized nature of far off learning. Around the world, on-line preparing has met with some achievement. Because of India, we even have far to go sooner than advanced contemplating is viewed as standard preparing, because of undergrads living in metropolitan space have the comforts to determine on computerized preparing, all things considered, provincial space understudies don't have the necessary framework nor are financially solid to benefit the sources needed for computerized preparing. The development of the computerized training foundation by the Government of India by and by is by all accounts inconvenient as a result of nonattendance of value range. Extra, in any event, when the computerized framework is created, preparing must be given to the teachers to utilize the advanced framework to offer veritable and right, continuous and consistent preparing to the researchers. Distant finding out increasingly more relies upon the trustworthy energy deftly and normal Web network which can be a fantastical factor for Tier 2 and Tier 3 urban communities in India.

One other issue is that e-learning comes all through as impressively conflicting and indifferent skill. Also, e-learning is bound to observe an over the top dropout charge because of nonappearance of climate for assessing. Undergrads may are probably going to get occupied by gaming supports, electronic media at abiding and potentially won't generally feel a method of network though taking on-line exercises. Beneficial gracefully of preparing can likewise be in inquiry because of concentrating on the level of upper preparing and concentrating on the kindergarten/advanced education could be totally unique. Computerized preparing can't be used the indistinguishable at every level of preparing.

On the off likelihood that we extra up the daylight on the instructive material, advanced preparing might have a restricted degree as conversely with the composed and valuable materials which is provided in a scholastic foundation. Moreover, the validation of the scholastic materials is in question. E-learning will reliably furnish the understudies with totally unique information in various habits. Accordingly, the legitimacy of the instructive material ought to be inspected sooner than these provisions are circled with the researchers. Making of substance material, dispersal of substance material and examination of substance material ought to be performed. Mixed preparing needs to restore straight on and separation preparing ought to go related on the hip right now. Instructional information coursed in on-line ought to be accurately kept up. Because of in the end these computerized scholastic course exercises can even bring about hacking methods and interlopers coming in. The computerized security issue will remain in all spots though giving preparing.

In light of the episode of the pandemic, the work from home (WFH) culture is impacting in India. As social isolating is recommended as the ideal method to manage the unfurl of COVID 19, companies are defied with an exceptional issue of making certain it's undertaking as incessant in any event, when everybody is by all accounts working distantly. In this manner, not just finance managers or new enterprises in India have selected a web stage like Zoom App to remain related with their staff who're working from their homes however additionally the scholastic foundations have picked different computerized stages to encourage reading for their understudies. In any case, essentially instructive establishments in metropolitan regions can introduce these pleasantries. Again the inquiries are brought for the students up in country zones, the instructive frameworks in commonplace regions and their development.

With so different ways to deal with characterize e-learning and the instructive methodologies that might be taken in these considering conditions, many resources and further scholastic arrangement movement exercises have started utilizing the mastery. By method of purposes, for example, Zoom, totally various resources especially designing and planning resources of Pune have attempted the task of showing understudies by means of video conferencing. Unfazed by the wellbeing issues which such video conferencing purposes may represent, these objects are extensively utilized and have end up being valuable and with a huge load of advantages. There's a picture, sound clarity which makes presenting of data and learning powerful for each the educator and the understudy.

Also, in any case, there's a prominent downside as tests should be delayed. Assessments can't be completed on-line. It isn't just scarcely the question of allowing fixed and continuous concentrating all through the flare-up of COVID 19 pandemic yet also presumably the main issue for the instructor is to focus in on the general components of an all around grew course. Growing a deliberate and very much characterized on-line course, which supports the instructor and student, implies giving the appropriate time and installing the pertinent course parts into the e-learning environmental factors. Using ability, we will, if not present a solid different to the conventional preparing framework, alleviate and make up for the obstructions acted and bother provoked like an outcome of COVID 19 pandemic to the preparation framework and students by augmentation. Examining, as they state, is a steady and ever-advancing course of. The instructive establishments in India, from resources to colleges, can utilize this current misfortune as a surprisingly beneficial development and make advanced preparing a significant aspect of the instructive course of for all students later on.

Your Basic Breakdown.

To work as a crew, you will require two compulsory certificates STCW Basic Safety Training and ENG1 Seafarer Medical Certificate.

ENG1 Seafarer Medical Certificate, a U.K. medical examination, is issued by an MCA-approved doctor.

This certificate establishes that individuals are fit to carry out their duties at sea and are allowed to work on U.K. flagged yacht. A person with an ENG1 certificate is allowed to work on most non-UK flagged yachts. Nowadays, to fully cover the yachts, insurance companies want yachts to comply with safe-manning requirements, thus requiring all crew to be fully STCW compliant and that ENG1 is a prerequisite. 

Cost Of ENG1 ( South Africa ) R2500.00

List of Doctors approved to do the ENG1 

 STCW 2010

All crew working on a commercial or charter yacht is required to have STCW. This certificate, however, is not demanded by a team working on a private or non-chartered yacht. Day workers and delivery crew are also excluded from this certificate. Still, it is highly recommended to obtain this certificate as it will increase your chance to get a job because hiring managers prefer candidates with this certificate. All seafarers must undertake the 5-day STCW Basic Safety Training course (STCW95 & STCW 2010) under section A-Vl/1 of the STCW Code. The course is intended to ensure that seafarers are aware of the hazards of working on a vessel and enables you to respond appropriately to an emergency. The course modules below make up the mandatory familiarization, and basic safety training requirements for all seafarers is an ideal course for anyone looking for Seafarer basic safety training at a recreational level or those wishing to make a career at sea.

Cost Of the 11day STCW 2010 ( South Africa)  R8750.00

Here is a list of schools in Cape Town That Offer the Course:

 Competent crew:

Experience living on board and get to know the boat. Virtually all the course is hands-on. You are the crew - without you, the sails won't go up, and the boat won't be steered. By the end of the course, you should be able to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy, and assist in all day-to-day duties on board. You should also have visited some interesting places and had an enjoyable holiday. R8 800.00

 Day Skipper:

RYA Day Skipper is a qualification that enables you to safely take charge of a 30-45ft sail cruising yacht and its crew by day in familiar waters. There's no getting away from it – passing involves some work, some practice, and some dedication. But RYA Day Skipper is your ticket to freedom.

Yachtmaster:

What's the difference between RYA Yacht-master Offshore and RYA Yacht-master Coastal? The RYA Yacht-master qualification has long been recognized by many as the premium sailing qualification for the experienced leisure sailor. In recent times, the Yacht-master qualification has been further defined and is now split into three subsections, namely Yacht-master Coastal, Yacht-master Offshore and Yacht-master Ocean. Unlike the RYA Day Skipper qualification,

all three qualifications are gained through external examination.

The holder of a Yacht-master Coastal qualification should be competent to skipper a yacht of up to 24 meters L.O.A in waters up to 24 miles from a safe haven. A Yacht-master Offshore is qualified to skipper a vessel of the same size up to 150 miles from a safe haven. Yacht-master Ocean extends the Yacht-master Offshore qualification and qualifies the holder to skipper a vessel of the same size and up to 200t anywhere in the World. As one would expect, each examination requires that the candidate have a minimum level of experience prior to the examination.

Prior to the Yacht-master Coastal examination, a candidate must have a minimum of 30 days at sea, with 2 days as skipper and at least 800 miles logged, including 12 night hours. If you hold the Coastal Skipper course certificate already then this is reduced to 20 days at sea with 2 days as skipper, 400 miles logged, and 12 night hours. Half the qualifying sea time must be conducted in tidal waters. To qualify to undertake the Yacht-master Offshore examination, you must have a minimum of 50 days at sea, 2,500 miles logged, including at least 5 passages over 60 miles measured along the rhumb line from the port of departure to the destination, acting as skipper for at least two of these passages and including two which have involved overnight passages.

The candidate must have 5 days' experience as a skipper. At least half this mileage and passages must be in tidal waters. All qualifying sea-time must be within 10 years prior to the exam. In both instances, you will also need to hold a GMDSS short-range radio certificate.

Seidr & Norse Shamanism

In Old Norse, seiðr (sometimes anglicized as seidhr, seidh, seidr, seithr, seith, or seid) was a type of sorcery practiced in Norse society during the Late Scandinavian Iron Age. The practice of seiðr is believed to be a form of magic relating to both the telling and shaping of the future. Connected with Norse religion, its origins are largely unknown, although it became gradually eroded following the Christianization of Scandinavia. Accounts of seiðr later made it into sagas and other literary sources, while further evidence has been unearthed by archaeologists. Various scholars have debated the nature of seiðr, some arguing that it was shamanic in context, involving visionary journeys by its practitioners.

Seiðr practitioners were of both sexes, although females are more widely attested, with such sorceresses being variously known as vǫlur, seiðkonur and vísendakona. There were also accounts of male practitioners, known as seiðmenn, but in practicing magic they brought a social taboo, known as ergi, on to themselves, and were sometimes persecuted as a result. In many cases these magical practitioners would have had assistants to aid them in their rituals.

In pre-Christian Norse mythology, seiðr was associated with both the god Oðinn, a deity who was simultaneously responsible for war, poetry and sorcery, and the goddess Freyja, a member of the Vanir who was believed to have taught the practice to the Æsir.

In the 20th century, adherents of various modern pagan new religious movements adopted forms of magico-religious practice that include seiðr. The practices of these contemporary seiðr-workers have since been investigated by various academic researchers operating in the field of pagan studies. Darkness covers the tents scattered across the drying grass of the festival grounds with a kindly shadow; at the far end of the sloping valley, the cliffs are edged by the first silver shimmer of the rising moon. As its light grows, it outlines a canvas pavilion and glimmers on the upturned faces of the folk gathered before it. They are gazing at a tall chair like a throne, but higher and draped with a bearskin, where a veiled figure waits, her body motionless, her face in shadow.

“The gate is passed, the seidhkona waits,” says the woman sitting on the fur-covered stool below the high seat. “Is there one here who would ask a question?”

After a moment’s hesitation, someone rises. He must decide whether to move from his present home or continue where he is. What should he do? What fate does the Völva see?

“Speak now, seeress, ’till said thou hast. Answer the asker ’till all he knows. . .” says the leader. And after a moment the seidhkona, her voice harsh as if it comes from a great distance, begins to answer him.

This could be a scene from the world of our ancestors, but in fact the ritual described above took place at a pagan festival in Northern California. For the past three years, a group called Hrafnar (“the Ravens”) has been performing a reconstruction of the Old Norse seidh ritual as a service to the community. The group has worked outdoors in rain or moonlight, in an underground bunker, and in living rooms; for groups of forty or more people, or for only two or three. In addition to assisting in personal growth, our purpose has been to demonstrate the validity of the shamanic tradition of Northern Europe, and to serve the larger pagan community to which we belong as the Völvas of Scandinavia served their people. The procedure has undergone many changes during that time, and continues to evolve, but we have now learned enough so that it seems appropriate to share our findings.

Norse Shamanism

The form of divination described above is one of a group of practices referred to as Seidh, which bear a strong resemblance to activities which in other cultures are called Shamanism. In order to understand what Hrafnar is trying to do, one needs to know something about Shamanism in general and how it was practiced in the northern lands.

Shamanism may well claim to be the oldest type of spiritual practice still in use among humankind. Evidence for activities similar to those of later shamans can be seen in the Paleolithic cave paintings. Shamanic practices have survived at all the edges of the inhabited world, with remarkable similarities in both technique and symbolism appearing in places as disparate as Siberia and Tierra del Fuego. Such a broad dispersal suggests that shamanism was practiced by homo sapiens at a very early stage of development, before its dispersion into different cultures. With such a venerable and extensive history, one would expect to find evidence of shamanic practice in the pre-Christian cultures of Northern Europe as well.

A careful analysis of Norse and Celtic sources suggests that this is indeed true. To the reader familiar with the literature of shamanism, many of the visionary and magical feats attributed to both Druids and Old Norse vitkis or völvas seem strongly reminiscent of shamanic practices. The Icelandic sagas are rich in accounts of magic of all kinds, including spirit journeys, weather working, healing, prophecy, and shape changing. Some of the Scandinavian practices may well have been learned from the Saami (Lapps) or Finns, but accounts from Celtic and even Greek legend support a belief in native Indo-European shamanism as well.

 Seidr

The practice for which we have the most information is called seidh (nominative case in Old Norse, seidhr), which may come from a word meaning “to speak” or “to sing”, or possibly be cognate to the verb “to seethe”, derived from the rituals of salt-boiling (Grimm, III:1047). According to Stephen Glosecki,

The etymology of seidhr, however, suggests indigenous development, perhaps retention of Indo-European practice. The mysterious term is cognate with French séance, Latin sedere; Old English sittan, and thus with a large group of terms based on the Indo-European root *sed-. A seidhr, then, was literally a séance — a “sitting” to commune with the spirits.

— (Shamanism and Old English Poetry, p. 97)

In the literature, seidh refers to various kinds of magical practice, including an act of divination or prophecy performed while in trance. Other terms for the practitioner of seidh would be seidhkona, spákona, or for a man, seidhmadhr. A more general term for a male spiritual practitioner was vitki (in Anglo-Saxon, wicca or [fem.] wicce). At an earlier period, both men and women appear to have practiced this craft. Male practitioners of seidh included Ragnvald Rettilbeini (the son of King Harald Fair hair, who was burned by Erik Bloodaxe at their father’s command along with the men who worked seidh with him), and Eyvindr Kelda, who was drowned by King Olaf. However, the majority of those who practice seidh in the sagas are female. The strong feminine tradition makes this form of shamanism especially interesting to women.

Skill in seidh was a specialty of the god Odin. It is said to have been taught to the Aesir by the goddess Freyja (Ynglingasaga: 4) and parts of the practice probably originated with the Vanir cult. On the other hand, Odin was himself originally a shamanic deity, who seems to have acquired this magical technique in addition to his mastery of the runes and other lore. In part VII of the Ynglingasaga, we learn that —

Odin had the skill which gives great power and which he practiced himself. It is called seith, and by means of it he could know the fate of men and predict events that had not yet come to pass; and by it he could also inflict bane on men, or soul loss or waning health, or also take wit or power from some men, and give them to others. But this sorcery is attended by such ergi [a term meaning sexual, or spiritual, receptivity used as an insult] that manly men considered it shameful to practice it, and so it was taught to priestesses.

Odin could change himself. His body then lay as if sleeping or dead, but he became a bird or a wild beast, a fish or a dragon, and journeyed in the twinkling of an eye to far-off lands, on his own errands or those of other men. Also, with mere words he was able to extinguish fires, to calm the seas, and to turn the winds any way he pleased.

A passage from the Lokasenna is of especial interest, since if the verb in the second line is examined carefully, it may provide evidence for Norse use of the shamanic drum. Taunting Odin, Loki says–

But thou in Samsey wast performing seidh

And beating out (spells) like a Völva,

Vitki-like didst pass through the world of men,

In woman’s wise, I believe.

— (Lokasenna: 24)

Other practices identified as seidh include raising storms, journeying or battling in animal form, sending a nightmare to kill someone by suffocation in his sleep, and love spells, all things with which shamans in other cultures are credited (or accused of) as well. Journeying, both in the body and in trance, is a standard practice in Norse literature. Destinations vary, there are references to travel in Midgard (viewing other parts of the real world) and seeking Odin’s Seat of Seeing in Asgard. However, by far the most common use of the term seidh is in reference to a ritual in which the seeress (völva or seiðkona) sits on a platform or high seat (seidhjallr), goes into trance and prophesies for the community. It is this practice which Hrafnar has to date spent the most time in recovering.

The most comprehensive account of a seidh session (or indeed, of any Norse ritual) which survives is the story in section four of the Saga of Erik the Red, in which a Völva comes to one of the settlements in Greenland to prophesy for the community. The idea that physically elevating the seer will assist in vision also seems to be behind the tripod upon which the Delphic Pythia sat to prophesy, and perhaps the tree trunk which the Machi shamaness of the Araucanian tribe of South America climbs in order to declare her visions as well.

In former times the machi mounted a platform supported by shrubs (the rewe) and there, in prolonged contemplation of the sky, she had her visions… When the machi has returned to her senses, she describes her journey to the sky, and announces that the Sky Father has granted all the wishes of the community.

— (Eliade: Shamanism, p.325)

The important features of the seidh rite in Erik’s Saga are as follows: The Völva was an itinerant priestess, requested to come to the steading to divine for them when the current famine would end. Other texts suggest that formerly such priestesses travelled with a group of younger people, perhaps in training, but at this period the Spákona Thorbjorg alone remained. When she arrived, she was given an opportunity to get to know the place, and then fed a meal of the hearts of all the different kinds of beasts available (possibly a reference to a sacrifice, in which the rest of the meat would have been eaten by the others). In Irish tradition, an offering to the gods was also sometimes a prerequisite to prophecy.

To prophesy, the Greenland Völva sat upon a raised seat with a cushion stuffed with hen feathers. To enable her to go into trance, a special song, the vardhlokur, was sung by a woman, which summoned the spirits. As a result, the seeress prophesied the end of the famine, and also answered many questions for members of the community. She wore a special costume, consisting of a blue cloak ornamented with stones, a necklace of glass beads, a cap of black lambskin lined with white cat skin, cat skin gloves, and calfskin shoes. A belt supported her skin pouch of magical paraphernalia and a walrus ivory handled knife, and she carried a carven staff with a brass knob, also set with stones. The most significant aspects of this attire are probably the inclusion of different kinds of animal fur, especially the skins of the cat, sacred to Freyja, and the staff, which appears in a 6th century plaque which may depict a priestess, and is among the items forbidden to Christians. In Laxdælasaga, a seidh staff is found in a grave believed to be that of a völva.

The Hrafnar Seidh Ritual

In the references to prophetic seidh which have survived, attention focuses on the questions, and beyond the information that a special song was sung, little is said about the techniques used to achieve vision. However, in studying the Eddas, we note that the Voluspá; BaldersdraumR, and the Shorter Seeress’ Prophecy all recount episodes in which Odhinn journeys to the Underworld to consult the Völva. These stories suggest two possibilities — the first is that the place in which prophetic vision is found is Hel, home of the ancestral spirits, and second is that the process of questioning was structured according to a traditional formula to which the seer was conditioned to respond. In seidh as performed by Hrafnar, singing is used to change consciousness and raise energy, the journey to the Underworld serves to bring everyone to the source of knowledge, and the formulaic questioning keeps the visionary state under control.

The first step is purification with the smoke of sacred herbs. Today smudging is most familiar from Native American tradition, but the practice of smoking with herbs (called recels) is found in Anglo-Saxon sources and elsewhere in European folklore. The purpose of the practice is to help people get rid of tensions and preoccupations that would prevent them from focusing on the work at hand. The leader or householder then defines the space to be used for the ceremony. One or more of the participants may orient and balance the group by honoring the directions and the local nature spirits. Finally, the gods in general and those deities particularly associated with seidh are invoked. With each step, the group moves deeper into the world of Norse myth. By the time the journeying begins, everyone should be caught up by the momentum of the ceremony.

None of this is strictly necessary for the practice of seidh. However Christian denunciations of pagan prophetic practice indicate that the gods were invoked before performing divination. More important is the psychological function of these activities. Taking time to establish Sacred Space provides a transitional period in which the participants can release the preoccupations of the day and their identities in the modern world and move into the world of Nordic myth. It is also useful to define the area of the ritual, especially when a ceremony is being performed in someone’s living room.

Wearing authentic clothing helps all of the participants make that psychological transition, just as wearing a cap or cape with skins or pictures of one’s power animal and other symbols helps the shaman to function. A great deal of this could be classed as theater, but any analysis of the shamanic literature will make the dramatic element in most traditional practices quite clear.

‘Tis time to sing at the Seat of Thul,

At the well of Urdh to welcome wisdom. . .”

With these words from the Havamál we move into the heart of the ritual, preparation for the prophetic trance begins. The seidh journey is powered by the energy raised by dance and drumming, chant and song. As in traditional societies, an exchange takes place between shaman and people in which the energy of the community enables the shaman to journey farther and faster to bring back the knowledge they need. The forms this takes may vary. Sometimes Hrafnar ceremonies include fiddlers who play Swedish folk music to get people into the mood. More often, we use the drum. The drummer should begin a strong beat to which all may sway, clap, etc. and if there is room, dance in a line or spiral which becomes a circle again, or only the seer/esses may dance. This is followed by the power songs of the seer/esses. A whistle may signal the end of the preparatory phase.

The Guide or drummer then begins a slow beat, and Guide begins the induction, or the Seer/ess may narrate the journey. It begins with instructions to relax the limbs, to deepen and regularize the breathing. Then people are directed to visualize a familiar outdoor spot from which a path leads downward and into a forest. The trees arch overhead to form a tunnel, through which one passes to the Sacred Grove. This is the barrier between the real world and Midgard, which is the Mid-world, the non-ordinary version of our normal plane of existence. In the center of the Sacred Grove rises Yggdrasil, the world tree. From this point, the journey incorporates imagery from traditional Underworld journeys, ending before the Gate, where all except the Seer/ess remain during the questioning.

The journey always follows the same general outline. Since this is being done aloud, the rest of the group hears and is carried along on the journey. In practice, each participant interprets the narration through his or her own symbol system, so that each person’s journey is different, although everyone arrives at the same goal. Each seer/ess or Guide visualizes the journey and narrates it in his or her own way, however the route is always essentially the same. As the group has continued to work together, members have influenced each other’s visions of the road.

This shared vision is the equivalent of the culture-specific interpretation of the Otherworld inherited by members of a traditional society. It also places the entire group in a rapport which facilitates the divination. Some symbols are universal, but the visions of individuals in a traditional culture tend to consist of images which other members of that culture can recognize and understand. By intentionally furnishing the first part of the journey with images from Norse culture, we increase the probability that the original material that follows will come from the same stratum of the collective unconscious, providing an integrated and comprehensible experience.

It is important to note that the Hel of Germanic mythology is by no means the same as the Hell of Christianity, to which, in English, it gave its name. Although Loki’s daughter Hella, who rules it, is in part a goddess of death and decay, the other side of her face is young and beautiful. Hel appears to include both the horrors of the grave and the beauty of the Undying Lands. Green plants flourish there even when in the world it is winter. Hel is the world beneath the mound — the world of the ancestors.

The topography of the Underworld appears to have been thoroughly mapped by the ancients; there is a remarkable degree of agreement in the accounts of journeys– the obstacles to be surmounted, the rivers crossed, the beings encountered on the way. Such a definitive tradition suggests generations of journeying. This pathway through the collective unconscious has been well surveyed.

Although the entire group makes the journey to the Underworld together, only the seer takes the further step of going through the gates, and only after formally indicating his or her willingness to do so. If the first Seer/ess has guided the journey, at this point a second person takes over as Guide. The chant is sung by everyone, to a medieval Norwegian melody. The music and the drumming carry the Seer/ess as s/he visualizes going through the Gateway into the Underworld. Individual experiences of this second stage of trance vary, however all agree that a definite shift in consciousness occurs. The experience is generally pleasant. For some, the stimulus of a question is required for images to form, others begin to see spirits etc. as soon as they arrive.

In the Eddas, Odin generally begins by chanting a spell to summon the Völva from her mound and stating his magical name and powers. He signals his question by saying– “Cease not, Völva, till said thou hast; answer the asker till all he knows….” (Baldrsdraumr 8, etc.). The Völva signals that she has finished with one answer and is ready for a new question by saying, “I tell thee much, yet more lore have I; thou needs must know this — wilt know still more?” (line 4, etc.). or in Voluspá, “Wit you more, or how?”

This pattern is the model for the interaction between the Guide and the seer/ess during Seidh trance. The role of the Guide at this point is to act as intermediary between the group as a whole, still in first stage trance, and the Seer/ess. In the orientation, people should be warned to make their questions as simple and specific as possible. The Guide signals questioners to begin and signals the end of a sequence. S/he also maintains sufficient rapport with the Seer/ess to tell when the Seer/ess is tiring and end the session. If there are more questions than the first Seer/ess can handle, a second and if required a third speaker is put up into the high seat and the sequence from the singing onward repeated.

Some querents may have questions involving the dead, or there may be times when a seer/ess senses spirits who are eager to communicate. Given that we are invading the realm of the spirits for this work, it seems only just that from time to time they should be allowed to have their say. The seer/ess may hear and transmit the message, or in some cases, allow the spirit to speak through him/her. This kind of communication, however, should be handled carefully, and special care should be taken in bringing the seer/ess back to ordinary consciousness.

When all questions have been answered, the Guide brings the last Seer/ess back through the Gate, but s/he may stay in High Seat for journey home. To the beat of the drum, the Guide narrates return journey in reverse order from entry. At the end of the narration, the Guide or a singer may sing another song to help people make the transition back to ordinary reality.

The final part of the ritual recapitulates the actions of the opening in reverse order, assisting all participants to make an orderly transition back to normal reality. Tasting rock salt is helpful in grounding, and distributing it provides an opportunity to make sure that everyone has in fact shifted back to ordinary consciousness. We always try to have food and drink available afterward to continue this process and replace expended energy. The social atmosphere of sharing food also provides a supportive environment in which people can debrief and discuss the interpretation of their answers.

The larger the group being served, the more useful a division of labor in the ceremony becomes. Roles include that of the Seer/ess, the Guide, one or more Wardens to assist in getting seers in and out of the chair and recovering as well as watching out for problems in the group as a whole, and of course, the people who are asking the questions. Each of these functions is important, and each requires preparation and training.

The element that makes seidh different from individual shamanic journeying is the presence of the people with the questions. The Harner technique in which a shaman journeys to obtain a vision for a client, helps him or her to interpret it, and teaches him to continue working in this way on his own occupies a middle position between solo work and seidh. Seidh allows a shaman, or seer, to use a single journey to see for many people in a way which recreates the culturally supportive environment of a traditional setting. In fact, only if there are several people seeking information of this kind does it make sense to put on such an elaborate ceremony. It might be said, therefore, that next to the seer/ess, the people are the most important participants.

Despite the fact that others lead the journey, the role of the querent should not be a passive one. Adding to the number of people sharing the vision seem to increase its intensity. Even an experienced journeyer may find the trip more vivid when others are along. The presence of a group provides an automatic support network which helps to validate the experience, and the energy and excitement created by group chanting provides extra power to carry the seer/ess into the second level of trance.

It is the responsibility of the querent to frame the question in a way that will provide a useful answer, so s/he should spend some thought on choosing the subject and be specific about how it is described. Questions should be narrowed down so that a single short vision will provide useful information. They should be serious, and they should be important to the asker. In asking their questions and interpreting the seidhkona’s replies, Querents would be well advised to heed the advice Socrates gave to Xenopohon regarding oracles. According to the master, it is stupid to ask questions which can be answered by research, reason or ethical principles.

In short, what the gods have granted us to do by dint of learning, we must learn. What is hidden from mortals we should try to find out from the gods by divination; for to him that is in their grace the gods grant signs.

— Xenophon, Memorabilia, LCL, trans. O.J. Todd, vol. 4, pp. 5-7

Ancient writers such as Epictetus also point out the necessity of approaching the oracle with a completely detached and open mind, determined to put the answer to good use, whatever it may be.

Interestingly enough, we have found that a vision will sometimes answer more than one question — the one that triggered it, and a question which someone else in the group is waiting to ask. The visions may stimulate insights in those who have not yet asked their questions or did not know they had one. Others simply “hang out” in a comfortable state or do their own spiritual work until it is time to return.

The greater the need of the querent, the more powerful the vision will be. The process is essentially interactive. Seer and querents have already been placed in rapport by journeying together; the seer uses his or her skills to reach a level of consciousness in which information and images can be accessed with great efficiency, but the questions, especially those coming from complete strangers, evoke the images, and validate the seer’s belief in his or her skills.

The querent therefore needs to stay as focused as possible, to sing enthusiastically when required, and to formulate his or her question as simply and clearly as possible. The more open the querent is to the experience, the more powerful the answer. In some cases, the answer may be something the querent has been told before, or a thing that could be communicated just as well in a less elaborate setting. The fact that the information is communicated when both parties are in an altered state seems to give it more impact. The images which are the most common type of response can have great power, and even ordinary information conveyed in trance may acquire profound significance. In any case, the querent is more likely to remember and understand advice received in this way.

The only equipment really needed for seidh is the mind. However, like shamans in traditional societies, in Hrafnar we have found that when one is working with a group, a certain amount of dramatic technique increases the effectiveness of the process. Physical symbols, which speak to the unconscious, help us to convince ourselves and those who work with us that we are indeed recreating the spirituality of our ancestors. Thus, in addition to researching the process itself, we have studied the culture from which it came, and tried, as much as possible, to recreate its clothing and artifacts. The effectiveness of this may be judged by one attendee’s comment that the experience felt like participating in something out of National Geographic.

Results

Seidh is not intended to replace other spiritual or therapeutic practices. Its benefits, as with any experience, depend on the use that is made of them. The ritual appears to have two major effects. The first is to provide spiritual counselling for a maximum number of people in a single session. The second is to give people a powerful sense of participation in a spiritual experience in the Northern European tradition. Many querents have reported that the answers they received were extremely accurate, and that they received new insights into their situations.

The Hrafnar seidh procedure is now reasonably well tested. Both women and men have been trained and seem to function equally well. Several of the seers are able to handle a roomful of questions with minimal assistance. Others are able to take several questions at a time with some support. Clearly, this is a skill which becomes easier with practice. The group has become known as a resource available to the local community and is beginning to work with other Norse groups such as the Ring of Troth. Hrafnar performs seidh at several annual festivals as well as on special occasions. In the future, we will continue to train more seer/esses, and give them the experience they need to function more and more independently.

DUROLANE® Among High-Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Treatments Linked to Significant Improvements in Knee Osteoarthritis Pain by American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

DUROLANE® Among High-Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Treatments Linked to Significant Improvements in Knee Osteoarthritis Pain by American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bioventus Inc., (Nasdaq: BVS) (“Bioventus” or the “Company”), a leader in innovations for active healing, announced that the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) recently released updated clinical practice guidelines (CPG) indicating that high molecular weight cross-linked hyaluronic treatments, including Bioventus treatment DUROLANE, showed statistically significant improvement in certain knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients. The recommendation follows a review of 28 studies assessing intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections when compared to controls.

The CPG states that viscosupplementation, in the form of intra-articular HA injections, can represent a viable option for some patients who failed other treatments when appropriately indicated. Patients with low to moderate arthritic knees (Kellgren Lawrence (KL) I-III) have better results than those with severely affected knees (KL IV). In addition, the CPG highlights statistically significant results that were associated with high molecular weight cross-linked HA, but not with mid or low molecular weight HA.

DUROLANE is a single-injection osteoarthritis (OA) treatment that is lightly cross-linked and has the highest reported molecular weight of all US-approved HA products.1, 2

“These updated guidelines from AAOS now match how we have always recommended the utilization of our HA products for knee OA pain,” said John Nosenzo, Chief Commercial Officer, Bioventus. “Now patients and physicians will have even more confidence in using HA therapies with high molecular weight such as DUROLANE.”

“The updated clinical practice guidelines from AAOS better aligns with the clinical practice and experience of most physicians. HA injections, including DUROLANE, are a viable option for patients who fail treatments such as NSAID’s, weight loss, and exercise,” said Vinod Dasa MD. “We applaud the Academy for recognizing the patient population that benefits from these treatments to manage their low to moderate OA knee pain.”

Story continues

DUROLANE, which has more Level 1 clinical studies than any other single-injection HA, has demonstrated providing greater reduction in OA knee pain versus Synvisc-One®.3 It has longer lasting pain relief versus a steroid injection, is safe for repeated courses of therapy, and repeated use of DUROLANE does not increase the incidence of adverse events.4, 5 Visit www.durolane.com for more information.

Indications for Use: DUROLANE is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacological therapy or simple analgesics, e.g. acetaminophen. Do not inject DUROLANE with knee joint infections, infections, or skin disease in the area of the injection site. Do not administer to patients with known hypersensitivity (allergy) to HA preparations. Risks can include transient pain or swelling at the injection site. DUROLANE has not been tested in pregnant or lactating women, or children.

Quirk Hotel in Charlottesville

Sep 14, 2021

Architects: ARCHITECTUREFIRM

Location: Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

Quirk Hotel

Quirk is a gallery hotel, designed to create an inclusive environment for the appreciation of art within a unique hospitality setting. Quirk strives to create connections to local artists displayed throughout the hotel and in the on-site gallery, using art to extend this inclusivity to locals as well as travelers and to act as the canvas for art and experience rather than the art itself.

The hotel wraps two 19th century historic buildings and uses them to add richness to the hotel program and diminish the presence of the complex on West Main Street. From West Main, the rhythm of the street fronts and side alleys continues so that it feels less like a large hotel than a series of small commercial spaces.

The building has a quiet presence but the drama of the lobby is apparent even from the street. A series of split arches in the lobby frame an elegant and playful space that visually and physically connects West Main with the historic Starr Hill neighborhood to the north. This lobby space is meant to be a semi-public space for both guests and locals and consists of the front desk, a lobby bar, multiple lounges, and a retail shop. The arches also serve as the organization and wayfinding through the lobby as each pair direct guests to other spaces off the lobby, such as a restaurant, ballrooms, and a barrel-vaulted elevator lobby that takes visitors to guestrooms and a rooftop bar with expansive views.

The design takes inspiration from the traditional brick buildings of Charlottesville, while also modernizing and abstracting that tradition with long, white bricks and exposed wood and cast stone trim. This allows the building to act as background for the historic buildings that it embraces, while still maintaining an elegant presence on the street.

What was the brief? “We were asked to expand the Quirk brand to a second location, the hotel’s first new construction project. The hotel program established by the client was an 80-room hotel with three restaurants, ample banquet space, and a rooftop terrace with 360 degree views of the city and surrounding context. The brand itself was the vision of the client and called for the hotel to feel like a gallery, exhibiting local artists in the public spaces, in a rotating gallery, and in all the guest rooms. The design brief also called for the design of the hotel to be updated while still tying back to the flagship hotel, so that it would feel like part of the larger brand. In addition, the property needed to fit seamlessly into the historic Charlottesville community and fabric so that locals and visitors would both feel welcome.

Beyond successfully laying out the large and complex program with appropriate adjacencies, it was important for the hotel to feel like a gallery and stage for local art. The building and interior design were to act as the canvas for the art and not the art itself. This design goal is evident throughout the building with the art being the focus in spaces composed of a muted palette of white, grey, and pink.

The building design and presence on the street tries to respect the local context and scale while speaking to the larger brand and the historic qualities of the flagship Quirk in Richmond, VA. The hotel was to fit seamlessly into the neighborhood fabric so that locals and visitors would both feel welcome. It was also important to preserve the two historic buildings on the site and house specific programmatic pieces that would contribute to the retail nature and pedestrian scale of West Main Street. ”

What were the solutions? “The building has a relatively quiet footprint on Main Street, considering all the program on the site, but the drama of the lobby is apparent even from the street. A series of split arches in the lobby frame an elegant and playful space that visually and physically connects Main Street with the historic Starr Hill neighborhood. They also serve as a subtle call-back to the groin vaulted ceiling at the flagship Quirk. This lobby space is meant to be a semi-public space for both guests and locals and consists of the front desk, a lobby bar, multiple lounges, and a retail shop. Local artists are featured in public spaces, a rotating gallery, and all guest rooms.

This project represents some of the very best uses of design and architecture in an urban setting. We were able to leverage the tremendous warmth of this client and brand to create memorable hospitality space and we were able to add a sophisticated art and cultural program to ambitious public facing program elements like a full contemporary art gallery and restaurant programs. Architecture is used to connect people with each other and to the inherent qualities of their place in the world and we feel that we were able to express and encourage these exchanges through the design and the ever-expanding food, art, and cultural scenes of Charlottesville. Since it’s grand opening, the hotel’s lobby and rooftop have become semi-public spaces for both guests and locals to engage with community, art, and culture.”

What were the key challenges? It was important to the client that Quirk Charlottesville harken back to the historical features of the Richmond flagship as well as connect to the historic context of Charlottesville. Historic red brick architecture pervades the region as can be found at Thomas Jefferson’s nearby Academical Village of UVA and Monticello, important local architectural gems. The design team took inspiration from this while also modernizing and abstracting that tradition with long, flat white bricks and exposed wood and cast stone trim. This allows the building to act as a background for the historic buildings that it embraces, while still maintaining a noticeable presence on the street and tying back to the palette of Quirk Richmond. Further, the interior design takes its cues from the historical groin vaulted arches in the original Quirk lobby in Richmond and abstracts them into split arches that run the length of the lobby.

Who are the clients and what’s interesting about them? Clients are the Quirk Hotel and Quirk Gallery, owned by Katie and Ted Ukrop of Richmond. Katie created the Quirk Gallery in Richmond, then their first hotel in Richmond, then this expansion of both brands in Charlottesville. She is an amazing gallerist and design thinker and is responsible for the brand and its unique sensibility.

How is the project unique? The hotel is among the only gallery hotels in the country, focused on local art both as part of it’s own collection but also as part of rotating shows throughout the building and in the dedicated gallery. There are other museum hotels but they tend to isolate much of the art and at Quirk it runs through everything they do and every part of the guest experience. The character of the building is unlike any in Charlottesville, a sophisticated art and hospitality space with a relaxed and fun environment.
