Women's crossfit bonanza supporting Butterfly Foundation for eating disorders
IN a colourful display of strength and power, hundreds of women gathered in Cameron Park to take part in a crossfit event described as the world's largest celebration of female movement. The Butterfly Effect Competition is the largest women-only CrossFit competition in the country, celebrating body positivity, inclusivity and raising money for the Butterfly Foundation, a charity supporting those suffering from eating disorders. Organisers say the event, which was held at CrossFit Life Athletic, is more than a competition, that it is a movement championing inclusivity, body positivity, and personal growth, welcoming athletes of all backgrounds and abilities. Butterfly Effect events take place all over Australia, as well as in Singapore, New Zealand and Dubai. The format involves teams of three across three divisions, tackling four workouts over the course of the day that have been released months in advance to give participants plenty of time to prepare. More than 300 athletes registered to attend, and 600 spectators were expected to cheer them on. The Butterfly Effect began in 2016 as a female-only fitness competition, created to raise awareness about negative body image and eating disorders. It is a cause close to founder Rowena Calderwood's heart. As a young child, her mother suffered with anorexia, surviving off multiple cups of coffee a day and cigarettes. In her early twenties, Ms Calderwood became homeless, living off bread, jam and scraps off people's plates at cafes. It was during this challenging season that she began to appreciate and value food, and promised herself if she could get out of this difficult situation, she would never take food or health for granted again. Today's event was "amazing", she said, loud and full of good vibes. "It's a community event but it's part of an event series," Ms Calderwood said. "There will be 6,000 people competing worldwide and the next one is in Auckland."

The spring 2024 Center in Lebanon, dropped from an 'A' to a 'C.' Get N.H. Morning Report A weekday newsletter delivering the N.H. news you need to know right to your inbox. Enter Email Sign Up On infections, it found DHMC performed worse than average when it came to rates of sepsis infection after surgery and C. difficile infection. The hospital also lost points on issues related to surgery, such as surgical wounds splitting open, blood leakage, kidney injury after surgery, and accidental cuts and tears. Advertisement Michael S. Calderwood, the chief quality officer at DHMC, said Dartmouth Health has robust quality and safety standards to ensure that patients experience the highest-quality care. 'Voluntary data submissions to groups like Leapfrog are nuanced and don't always capture the full picture of safety ratings,' he said in an email. He added that in the latest Leapfrog report DHMC maintained or improved performance in all areas except four. Advertisement Calderwood said the hospital has made improvements on managing infections since the 2023-2024 data reflected in the latest Leapfrog report. He said a hospital task force has worked on infections caused by catheters, " The Leapfrog safety report found DHMC was also below average on handwashing. But Calderwood said the report's methodology relies heavily on automated hand hygiene data, which he said is unreliable and lacks the opportunity for 'in-the-moment' education. These automated systems include technology like Calderwood said DHMC is using direct observation instead of the automated system, but that has impacted the Leapfrog methodology for data collection. 'Recognizing that we have already driven significant improvement in a number of the key areas identified in the Leapfrog survey and beyond, we see our Spring 2025 score as an opportunity to focus on areas for improvement,' he said. The New Hampshire hospitals that received the highest safety grade include Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, Exeter Hospital, Portsmouth Regional Hospital, and St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua. Both Catholic Medical Center and Cheshire Medical Center received a 'D' grade, the lowest safety grade assigned to any hospital in the state.

Facing serious financial problems, Catholic Medical Center was CMC was the subject of a 'CMC did not participate in the Leapfrog survey prior to joining HCA Healthcare earlier this year, which means the current grade is based on limited historical information,' a spokesperson for the hospital said in a statement. 'HCA Healthcare has a strong and continuous commitment to measuring quality and safety in patient care,' the statement said. 'We are actively integrating our comprehensive quality and safety programs at CMC.' On the latest safety report for other HCA-owned hospitals, Parkland Medical Center received a 'B,' while Frisbie Memorial Hospital received a 'C.'

Calderwood returns to Northampton as technical director
Former Northampton Town boss Colin Calderwood has returned to Sixfields as the club's technical director. The former Scotland defender will work alongside manager Kevin Nolan, who was appointed in December on a two-and-a-half-year contract. Calderwood, 60, was most recently first-team coach at Southampton, helping them win promotion to the Premier League last season, but left that role earlier this month. "Colin needs no introduction to supporters, his vast knowledge, experience and contacts are a huge asset and he has worked with Kevin Nolan before, when both were at Newcastle United," Cobblers chairman Kelvin Thomas said. "Colin's focus initially will be as part of the coaching staff, on the training ground on a day to day basis, but moving forward in the medium term he will begin to step away from the day to day to head up all of the club's footballing operations, including overseeing the recruitment work." Northampton gave Calderwood his first job in management in 2003 and he led them to promotion from League Two in 2006 before leaving for Nottingham Forest. He later had spells in charge of Scottish club Hibernian and Cambridge United, before his first return to Northampton as assistant manager under Jon Brady in the summer of 2021. Nolan described his new role at the club as a "perfect appointment". And Calderwood said: "My overriding priority is to support Kevin Nolan at all times and that is very important. "I know Kevin well, I have been really impressed with him both as a person and a manager and he is someone who has been on a really good learning curve as a coach and a manager at different levels of the game. "I feel I can help with the club's progress in the short, medium and longer term." Northampton go into Tuesday's game at Bolton Wanderers 20th in League One, but six points above the relegation places. They held promotion-chasing Wycombe Wanderers to a goalless draw on Saturday.
