An island, a regatta, and a tile
This is the beautiful Izaro island:
Located near the coast, nowadays it's a deserted island that has become a reservation for birds. Legend goes that the towns of Mundaka and Bermeo had been fighting for years since both thought the island should belong to them; neighboring village Elantxobe decided to be a unbiased judge in the regatta that would decide where the island belonged to: the winner could claim Izaro as its own. The time to start rowing would be the first singing of the cock.
Bermeo won the regatta, but Mundakans accused them of lighting up bonfires to make their cock sing earlier and have an advantage. Be it as it may, everybody accepted the result and from then on Izaro island belongs to Bermeo.
Every July 22nd the people of Bermeo set sail to the island and, before its shores, the mayor throws a tile to the sea saying: "Honaino heltzen dira Bermeoko itsuginak", which means "The leaks of Bermeo reach up here". Tiles, leaks?? Yes, because in Basque tradition, a house didn't end in the walls but in what eaves protected. This way, Izaro is metaphorically below the roof of Bermeo.
After this ceremony, the citizens of Bermeo keep on their celebration in Mundaka and Elantxobe, where the mayors give their makila to the mayor of Bermeo, naming them mayor for this special day.
It's an amazing day of fraternity and joy for all the inhabitants of these three fishermen towns, and the hundreds that visit them on this day!!

Best Practices to Ensure Safety and Compliance in Hospital Morgues
Hospital morgues play an important role in managing deceased individuals and ensuring their proper handling and storage. To do this, they often adopt various best practices to prevent injuries and ensure a safe working environment for morgue personnel.
One of the best practices for promoting safety in hospital morgues is ensuring strict compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules. To do this, hospitals can integrate various safe patient handling protocols into their existing OSHA compliance training. Adding these safe handling protocols to the training can significantly help hospital morgue personnel reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
Another safety practice that hospital morgues can adopt is training morgue personnel on infection control practices. Since the risk of infection is significantly higher during the handling and storage of deceased individuals, hospital morgues should be trained on various infection control practices when handling deceased patients. The training can include proper use of PPE, disinfection measures for handling bariatric decedents, and hand hygiene.
Hospital morgues should also invest in specialized equipment for handling decedents, especially bariatric cases. Utilizing specialized equipment helps promote the safety of morgue personnel and the deceased. This specialized equipment includes lift-assist devices and bariatric body trays. The staff should also be properly trained on how to handle this equipment safely.
