This proceeding arises out of the Board of Registration in Medicine’s November 22, 2017 suspension of Dr. Jorg Winterer’s license to practice medicine in the Commonwealth, and its Statement of Allegations against him that included conduct placing into question the physician’s competence to practice medicine. This conduct allegedly occurred at Partners Urgent Care, LLC’s clinics in Newton and Watertown, Massachusetts in late December 2015, and in January and February 2016 and included (a) failure to maintain a sterile surgical field during the suturing of a lacerated finger, resulting in an infection; (b) taking a chest x-ray of a patient without covering the lower portion of her body with a protective shield, and misdiagnosing her with pneumonia; and (c) using Dermabond on a child’s face too close to one of his eyes, resulting in the eye being glued shut and requiring eye repair by an opthamalogist.

The Anacreontic Song served as the "constitutional song" of the Society. After the initial concert and meal, the song would be sung to open the after-supper, more light-hearted part of proceedings. The verses, which are difficult to sing because of their wide range, would be sung by a solo singer, with the entire Society joining in the refrain.[7] Although it is often described as a "drinking song", Lichtenwanger states that "To Anacreon in Heaven" "was not a barroom ballad, a drinking ditty to be chorused with glasses swung in rhythm", but "convivial, ... in a special and stately way".[7]
It is typical for GPOs to be exhibited with sea anemones and various echinoderms that are found in the same cold-water habitats as the octopus. It is also becoming more common to house different fish species along with the octopus. Common fishes housed with GPOs include rockfishes, sculpins, and other cold-water teleosts found in the same geographic range as E. dofleini. The GPO does not appear to suffer any negative effects from being housed in a mixed species exhibit, to the contrary tank-mates offer a form of enrichment by providing stimuli not found in a monospecies display. It should be well understood, however, that any animal housed with an octopus may one day become a prey item. As such aquarium managers should consider whether these fishes are to be accessioned as part of the animal collection, or simply considered feeder fish. Many temperate invertebrates and some fishes can be added to an octopus display. Species of Urticina sea anemones, sea cucumbers, sea stars (other than sunflower stars), plumose sea anemones, chitons, and sea urchins can all be used. In addition some fish such as rockfish, sea perch, sculpins and flounders can be added. These are all animals that a GPO might encounter in the wild. Note that no valuable animals should be added, as GPOs may catch and eat them. At best, there is an uneasy truce between a well-fed octopus and some species of fish. Two species of sea stars should be avoided. The sunflower star has been implicated in many fish and invertebrate mortalities, especially in closed systems. It likely releases an undescribed toxin into the water. The slime star (“snot star” in the vernacular to aquarists) releases copious amounts of clear mucus when disturbed. Most other sea stars are probably safe for the octopus tank. GPOs have eaten a number of different fishes in their displays, even dogfish sharks. Animals to replace those eaten should be collected or bought and shipped, sometimes at considerable expense.

This tank was originally designed so that a single octopus could be trained to crawl back and forth through the horizontal cylinder between the vertical cylinders, thus giving enrichment to the public, but this has not proven practical. In addition, this tank was mandated to be a “multi-species” tank, to hold wolf eels, rockfish, and sculpins along with various invertebrates, in spite of the staff’s caution that GPOs would eat the fish. The octopuses did eat some of the fish, which horrified the interpreters, but provided enrichment to the GPOs. The octopuses also forced the wolf eels from their dens into the small cylinder where they looked out-of- place. To keep the wolf eels in the large cylinder, a porous barrier was placed in the horizontal cylinder. This also provided an opportunity to put another GPO in the exhibit. Typically a female was in the smaller vertical cylinder and a male in the larger. The barrier is typically removed with fanfare on Valentine’s Day to allow the GPOs to mate. To prevent the octopuses from crawling out of the small cylinder we now place a circle of plywood on it covered with Astroturf most of the time except during feeding

The oldest ones in the book: ancient greek jokes from 300 CE. 1. Do you ever look up at the full moon, and wonder... do they have this in other cities too? 2. They call this guy the Rooster. Because when he starts singing, everyone gets up. 3. This honey is really good! Thanks! I think so too. Matter of fact, I would've kept it for myself, if that mouse hadn't fallen in. 4. Are you married? Nah, man, I'm a eunuch. We don't get married. Oh, sorry... so do you have any kids? 5. I heard that onions give you wind. So I take them when I go sailing. (Very loosely translated from Philogelos, attributed to Hierocles and Philagrias, circa 4th century CE)

"Guide to assessing when an animal is acting as an Ambassador" flowchart with many inefficiencies, like asking multiple followup questions about how an animal will be handled when it's outside of its enclosure, then sending them all to the same result. (Any time an animal is taken outside of its enclosure for presentation to the public, it's considered an ambassador animal.)
Dawkins, author of The Selfish Gene, outlined the plot: a scientist “conceives the idea of bringing back to life Homo erectus”, he said in an interview with the Times. The scientist, named Rosalind – possibly a nod to Rosalind Franklin, whose work was the foundation for understanding the structure of DNA – becomes surrogate to two H erectus babies. They are genetically unrelated and fall in love; Dawkins has imagined their linguistic abilities as more limited than those of Homo sapiens and they lack the ability to use adjectives or recursive grammar (essentially subclauses).
