about Olivia Colman
)
:
”I am delighted that this project, which was a labour of love, has been recognised by the NHS community. "Its impact has been deeply felt by staff across our trust and within our community. So much of what we heard and read about during the pandemic was statistics and facts, this project explored and acknowledged how it felt to work as part of the team that managed the pandemic at the hospital. "The writing captures the feelings and impact on our staff at work and at home throughout that time". The Reflections on a Pandemic project started in spring 2020 when poet Martin Figura was commissioned to write poems based on his interviews with staff across the hospital about their experiences of the pandemic, at work and at home. The series of poems became a collection published as My Name is Mercy. Stars Appeal patron Olivia Colman reading Fifth Season. Martin also carried out poetry writing workshops with staff and groups in the community. He also went on to perform the poems in videos, and at staff events such as a music and poetry evening at Brown Street, the Trust’s Staff Awards in 2021, and at We Reflect, the special service in March 2022 held by the Trust and Salisbury Cathedral with carers from across the area to mark the second anniversary of the start of the first national lockdown. This service included original writing from Paula B Stanic who movingly captured how lockdown felt from the perspective of a caregiver, a child of an NHS worker and someone who was cared for. Two of the poems were also recorded by Stars Appeal patron, Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman. The trust's CEO, Stacey Hunter added: "We are delighted that our Reflections project has received this well-deserved recognition. Responding to the pandemic was an experience like no other in the history of the NHS. "The project and the resulting emotional and inspiring poems captured the psychological challenges that our staff faced and coping as best they could at work and in their personal lives Martin Figura’s poems resonated with our staff and provide a testament to their resilience”

"I've been on some teams early in my career that didn't have this opportunity, so I definitely feel fortunate to be a part of an organization that cares about winning and puts winning first”. With thousands of their blue-clad fans cheering them on at Petco Park, the Dodgers reduced to two their magic number for winning the NL West for the ninth time in 10 seasons. “It's a big accomplishment," “For me it's just making sure guys appreciate that it's not a rite of passage to get into the postseason every year and there's still a lot of work to be done. I feel our best baseball is yet to be played and just continue to stay focused”

“It was big. I think there was a sigh of relief,” “Mookie’s going to sleep a lot better tonight. He got called out on a tough pitch the at-bat prior. I think he saw three straight sliders and put a good swing on it. We needed that run”

Dave Roberts said
:
“I thought Craig threw the baseball really well,” “I think the 10-minute, 12-minute delay (after Tomlinson’s injury) broke up a little bit of momentum. He gave up a flare base hit to Trout, a ball down below on a curveball to Ohtani which was a good piece of hitting. I didn’t like the walk to (Matt) Duffy but after that he really locked in”

“I just think that when you’re talking about that part of the arm and sort of some history with it and how it manifested last night, knowing that … we, a lot of times, take the conservative approach to get a player back, especially Walker,” “Again, I don’t know what that means and I’m hesitant to say right now”
dailynews Sunday, June 12, 2022 2:14:00 AM EAT
Dave Roberts said
:
“Walker is our Opening Day starter, so to lose him in any capacity is a blow,” “I think that goes without saying. But whether Walker or any other guy in the rotation (is out), I don’t think any guy is going to change their mindset on how they approach a start. Tony (Gonsolin) is going to do what Tony does, Julio (Urias) is going to do the same thing and we’ve got Clayton back and whether Walker was healthy or not, Clayton was still going to pitch the way Clayton pitches. I don’t think it shows itself in that way, but I think guys understand that there’s going to be more asked of them. That just happens naturally”
dailynews Sunday, June 12, 2022 2:14:00 AM EAT
Dave Roberts said
:
"I think for us it's just more of letting Clayton get on more of a regular turn, rotation, rhythm and then giving Julio an extra day," "And then where we are in the middle of the season, Julio has made all of his starts, to give him an extra day - it just made a lot of sense"

That breeds confidence. It’s natural that his confidence has been shaken a little bit. But like I said, I’m gonna keep betting that he’ll right the ship”
