The Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and the Fondazione Giorgio Cini are very pleased to announce the Launch Event of the International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG) to be held on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice on April 15, 2010. On the same occasion, the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) announces the launch of its activities in Venice. This joint Launch Event is the beginning of a collaboration between FEEM, ICCG and CPI, and also marks the opening of FEEM and ICCG new offices in Venice.
The focus of this event will be to look back at the events in Copenhagen and look forward to the implications for international climate policy. For this purpose, a distinguished group of experts from the policy and research community will provide insights on the dynamics behind the negotiations in Copenhagen, the consequences for the public sector, and the way ahead. | 2019-04-24T14:07:22 | https://www.feem.it/en/events/workshops/launch-event-of-the-international-center-for-climate-governance-and-of-the-climate-policy-initiative-in-venice/ |
I've been sewing away as usual but haven't had a chance to take many photos or do much blogging. I took a few shots of the kids on our trip to the lego expo on the weekend. Seth's top is one of the T-shirts I made up with the Surburban T-shirt pattern from Terra's treasures.
Xander and Sethan were so excited to dress up as Jedi and have a light saber fight.
Griffin looked so grown up watching the lego train with all the other kids.
The boys really had a ball. | 2019-04-25T16:40:13 | http://suturesandsandpaper.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-trip-to-lego-expo.html |

A row of poorhouses was situated in North Skirlaugh as shown on the 1855 map below.
North Skirlaugh poorhouses site, 1855.
Some poorhouses also stood at the west of Withernwick on what is now West Lambwath Road.
Dunnington had a number of poorhouses including two rows at the south of the village. There was also a poorhouse on Elvington Road at Grimston.

The population falling within the union at the 1831 census had been 8,288 with townships ranging in size from Bonwick (population 22) to Aldborough (813). The average annual poor-rate expenditure for the period 1834-6 had been £5,096 or 12s.4d. per head of the population.
Skirlaugh Union workhouse was erected in 1838-9 at the west side of the main road running north-west from South Skirlaugh. Its construction cost of £2,332 and it accommodated around 60 inmates. The building was designed by John and William Atkinson of York who were responsible for a number of other Yorkshire workhouses including Bedale, Beverley, Easingwold, Guisborough, Goole, Howden, Pocklington and York. The site is shown on the 1910 map below.
The layout of Skirlaugh was a little unusual and was somewhat reminiscent of Sir Francis Head's model courtyard plan adopted by some Kent unions in the 1830s. A rectangle of buildings, with an entrance block at the east, enclosed a large central courtyard. The courtyard was divided by a central partition between male and female sides, with each side further subdivided into two yards, perhaps one for the able-bodied and one for the elderly and infirm.

The workhouse closed in 1915, with the children and few remaining inmates being removed to Beverley. The workhouse became a military hospital in 1916, then was taken over by the local council in 1922. The building was then converted to housing known as Rowton Villas.
The buildings were later used as offices by Holderness Borough Council (now the East Riding of Yorkshire Council).

Oublie/Trouve is a physical & digital system created to explore and interrogate our current positivist computing culture by proposing a poetic version of sensor-aided data collection and data display.
The process section contains all pre-thesis and summer work.
The context-ignoring, surveillance-enabling beliefs and behavior of contemporary computing culture is the direct result of its origins in nineteenth century mathematics and twentieth century militaries — and the definition of information that proceeds from these. Using standard sensors and the basic form of data visualization but nonstandard content — amorphous, incomplete, layered memory — Oublié/Trouvé embodies a counter-theory of information and thereby dangles imaginative threads to artists and other observers of computing culture.
Our current conception of information — as a set of contextless, dispassionate truths that can be transported across distance and medium and shuffled indiscriminately without change — is the product of nineteenth-century concepts of mathematical perfectibility and twentieth-century cybernetic concepts of command and control. It is also the source of beliefs about machines and technical teleology that facilitate anti-human developments, such as the continued production of surveillance devices in the name of progress. One way to denaturalize and counteract it is to create prototypes of what we want to see in the world and thereby shift the cultural imagination. Oublié/trouvé is one such attempt, using the stereoscopic memory concepts Roger Shattuck locates in A la recherche du temps perdu as inspiration for a hardware/software system. Using standard sensors and the basic form of data visualization but nonstandard content — amorphous, incomplete, layered memory — the system embodies a counter-theory of information. The project’s effectiveness is evaluated according to phenomenological methodologies, in particular active reflection from a number of perspectives: designer, developer, manufacturer, and participant. | 2019-04-25T16:51:16 | https://sarahghp.squarespace.com/about-the-project/ |
Don't Confuse Straw with Hay (Or Hay with Straw…) And what about Straw Bale Gardening? | Gardens Alive!
Q. Mike knows a lot, and I love the show (I listen on KSFC; 91.9 FM), but on a recent program he referred to hay and straw as if they were interchangeable. Straw is a stalk, usually a waste product of wheat, that's used as bedding for barnyard animals. Hay—typically alfalfa or a grass—is used as animal feed.
A. I can think of a lot of times when I spelled out the differences between hay and straw, but never when I confused them. And luckily, I think I'm innocent this time as well, although I could maybe have used slightly clearer language. Mary Beth is referring to a phone call that aired on the show several weeks ago about 'straw bale gardening'. I explained that one of my (many) objections to this method was the fact that the original material was almost certainly sprayed with lots of chemical pesticides and herbicides. But I added that if you knew an organic farmer who bailed hay, their straw would be clean of chemicals.
Wait a minute—did I just confuse the two terms again?
Nope. But it is a fine line. Straw and hay both begin life the same way—as a field crop. The word 'hay' refers to the entire harvested plant, including the seed heads. Most hay is grown to be used as animal feed, and is generally, as Mary Beth correctly notes, timothy, rye, alfalfa or a specialized grass. But cereal crops like wheat, oats and barley are sometimes grown for animal feed as well as human consumption.
When the plants are left intact and bundled up, it's hay. But when the seed heads are removed, the plant stalk that's left behind is straw, a hollow tube that has many uses, including animal bedding on farms and mulch in gardens. And if the hay was grown organically—say, to feed certified organic animals, any straw made from that hay would be free of chemicals.
In other words, you have to have organic hay (or grain) before you can get organic straw.
But the main point in any conversation about these topics is to warn people to be careful that they DON'T get hay when they buy 'straw bales'. Straw and hay are often packaged up identically, and many garden centers—and even farmers who sell their extra bales on the roadside—use the term 'straw' whether the bale in question is straw or hay. And if you use hay—with all those seed heads intact—as a garden mulch, the seeds will sprout and you'll become an unintentional grain farmer.
…Which happened to me once. I hadn't yet learned that you have to visually inspect the bales for seed heads, and picked up a batch of hay that was labeled as 'straw'. The plants that popped up a few weeks after I spread it as mulch taught me two important lessons….
One was to never trust signage. The other was that wheat is sharp. Not a good plant to grab in anger bare-handed. But enough old war stories; let's move on to 'straw bale gardening' itself.
Q. It's always a struggle to try and work our clay soil. I read an article about how this problem could be solved by using straw bales instead of my having to schlep bags of manure, peat moss, etc. to grow my tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers; but my husband disagrees. What's your opinion?
A. I think it's just another of the 'trends' that garden writers pick up on when they're desperate for something 'new' to write about, and that they don't subject to any critical thought. But I was raised by a homicide detective, and I'm always looking for the hole in the logic. And in this case, I came up with five right off the bat.
The bales were almost certainly grown with pesticides—including hideous 'systemic' chemicals that are taken up by the plant itself. I only grow organically, and so I'm out before we even start.
The bales don't retain moisture well; in a dry year you'd have to be watering them every day—perhaps several times a day.
But because straw is packed so tightly, the cores and bottoms do collect a lot of moisture that they can't get rid of and tend to mold up—especially in a wet year.
You have to buy new bales every year, which is far from sustainable.
The system is lifeless; designed to avoid soil and compost in favor of chemically-laden straw and nasty chemical fertilizers.
And that last one is perhaps my biggest issue emotionally. My approach to gardening—forged in the fires of greats like J. I. and Bob Rodale, Sir Albert Howard, Eliot Coleman, John Jeavons, Mel Bartholomew and so many others—is that HEALTHY SOIL is the basis for all gardening. The answer to clay soil is not to grow in pesticide laden straw bales (which are really heavy, by the way—so the schlepping factor is not decreased one bit).
Raised beds and real containers are a much less toxic and much more sustainable response to clay soil; fill them with a nice mix of potting soil, screened black topsoil, perlite and compost. (NOT manure or peat moss; those are far from the best soil amendments.) Then you're away from the clay, growing in a medium that isn't pre-contaminated with chemicals, drains well in wet years, goes longer between waterings in dry years, and doesn't need to be replaced every year.
And one that you can naturally nourish with compost, worm castings and other organic matter instead of salty chemical fertilizers. | 2019-04-20T00:19:13 | https://www.gardensalive.com/product/dont-confuse-straw-with-hay-or-hay-with-straw-what-about-straw-bale-gardening |
The Arrivals are people from modern times (the late 1800s to present) who mysteriously wake in an alternate world called the Wasteland, a weird west populated by werewolves, dragons, vampires, and other odd creatures. They have little in common except that they each killed someone in their former life, and have no memory of how they arrived. For reasons that are not clear, they are subject to recruitment from the major power factions in the Wasteland, possibly because they are quasi-deathless. When an Arrival is killed, there’s a chance he or she will wake up a few days later. Again, no one knows why or can predict it. It’s an interesting setup, and the cover blurbs promise a great deal. Unfortunately, the book does not deliver.
There are two major problems with the book: the book itself, and how it has been marketed.
I think the major sin here is marketing. The cover blurb promises a complex and richly drawn dark fantasy adventure that is “equal parts the Matrix and The Wizard of Oz.” The book instead delivers a paranormal romance in a weird west setting. If there is a relationship to either of the films mentioned it lies only in the “stranger dropped into another world” setup, which is not much to hang your Stetson on, and begs for unfavorable comparisons. Likewise, the cover suggests that Chloe will be the central focus of the work, but the brother-sister tandem of Kitty and Jack are more central to the narrative. It seems unfair to the author for the publisher to set up the wrong expectations with the cover design like this. It would have to be a very good book to recover after that kind of bait-and-switch. This leads to the second problem.
The book itself is poor. The writing is not strong, with an inconsistent voice and poor pacing. It bogs in places and feels rushed in others. The prose is at times clunky and awkward. The world-building doesn’t suggest a coherent place, but seems to take more of a kitchen-sink approach. The author’s prior offerings have primarily been Young Adult and romance, and it shows. There is an excessive and repetitive focus on explaining what characters are thinking and feeling, and describing their relationships at the expense of plot and action. The writing has a very strong romance novel flavor and although marketed as an adult novel, the reading level is very YA. The characters lack depth and complexity, right down to a comic-book villain that explains himself in the anticlimactic confrontation. I have not read any of Marr’s other books, but she’s cranking out more than one novel per year in addition to graphic novels and short fiction, which raises the question of quality control.
Fans of YA para-romance might enjoy this, but fans of horror or the weird west will want to pass. | 2019-04-19T14:23:39 | http://hellnotes.com/the-arrivals-book-review |

“It makes me feel good that young people are taking over protecting our country. Us old guys can’t do it anymore,” said… Dusty Ward (89), a resident of Waterford Terrace, La Mesa, and a veteran himself. On November 10, to celebrate and honor Veteran’s Day, a group of young Marines from the Wounded Warrior Battalion West, Balboa Naval Hospital, visited the residents of Waterford Terrace and swapped stories about life, war and the challenges of re-entering civilian life.
Casually sitting around the tables scattered outside of the dining room, the residents and Marines had a chance to share photos and swap tales of their experience in the service. Many branches of the armed forces were accounted for with the Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy represented.
One of the high points of the day was when the two young women Marines had a chance to chat with some of the women at Waterford who had served in the armed forces. As they were thanked for their service, the women from the Wounded Warrior Battalion were able to thank the women who served before them and to find out what it was like to be a woman Marine or WAC, before it was commonplace for women to enlist. When asked about their injuries, the marines were able to explain to those who asked that “their injuries were internal” and did not always show on the outside. Many of the Marines have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), which are difficult to diagnose and treat.
The Marines in the Wounded Warrior Battalion are still on active duty and their “job” is to work at recovery 24/7 by going to doctor’s appointments, working with their physical therapists, attending classes and doing everything in their power to either return to their units or reintegrate in society with the ability to use the skills they have learned in the Marines to start a civilian life.
After Ken Rorabaugh, General Manager, officially welcomed the guests to lunch and presented each Marine with a certificate of appreciation, one of the Marines stood up to address the full lunch crowd. As he looked out across the faces of those who had served before him, and the women who served or kept the home-fires burning bright, he said, “Many of us signed up because we were escaping, but you signed up for the real reasons. You are the true patriots.” There was a moment of silence, a few tears, and a round of applause to remember the veterans and thank the Wounded Warriors who shared this memorable meeting with the residents of Waterford Terrace.
About the Wounded Warriors: The Wounded Warriors Project is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide and facilitate assistance to wounded, ill and injured Marines, sailors and their family members throughout their phases of their recovery in order to successfully return them to full duty or transition to civilian life. | 2019-04-24T19:14:23 | https://www.sunshineretirementliving.com/a-meeting-of-patriots-veterans-day-at-waterford-terrace/ |

To maximize the run-time performance, programmers specialize their code by hand, replacing library collections and containers by custom objects in which the data is restructured for efficient access. However, this is a tedious and error-prone process that makes it hard to test, maintain and evolve the source code.
We present an automated and composable approach that allows programmers to safely change the data representation in delimited scopes containing anything from expressions to entire class definitions. The transformation itself is defined by programmers and can cover a wide range of use cases.
Our technique leverages the type system in order to infer where the data representation needs to be converted, while offering a strong correctness guarantee on the interaction with other object-oriented language features, such as dynamic dispatch, inheritance and generics.
We have embedded this technique in a Scala compiler plugin and used it in four very different transformations, ranging from improving the data layout and encoding, to retrofitting specialization and value class status, and to collection deforestation. These transformations obtain speedups between 1.9 and 13x on user programs. | 2019-04-19T12:29:13 | https://2015.splashcon.org/event/splash2015-artifacts-automating-ad-hoc-data-representation-transformations |

You shared in the celebration of a Mass last weekend at Our Lady of the Lake Church in Mandeville for the new group called God’s Northshore Blessings. You had to be impressed by the turnout of families with their special needs children.
I truly was. For about 12 years, there’s been a group on the southshore organized by Joy and Jay Zainey called God’s Special Children, and they’ve been gathering one Sunday a month for Mass. We realized there was a growing need on the northshore for a similar movement, and a group was formed by Dr. Jan Lancaster with Dana Vidal’s help called God’s Northshore Blessings. This is an opportunity for us to recognize the great blessings of special needs children and for the church to reach out to them. Quite frankly, we, as church, have done some things for special needs children in our schools, in our churches and in our religious education programs, but we haven’t done enough. We’re very aware of the fact that the Lord is calling us to do more, and we want to respond to that call with great enthusiasm. In preparing for the liturgy last Sunday, the planning committee told me it expected anywhere from 50 to 75 to 100 people to attend. Well, we had 277! That’s very significant! There were people who had slight disabilities and people who had severe disabilities. At moments like this, I have to say, as St. John Paul II said, “In the faces of others, I see the face of Christ.” It’s very easy for me at these Masses and gatherings to see the face of Christ in those who are both young and old but who are innocent and very much affected by physical weakness. It’s also a reminder to all of us that Jesus said, “Let the children come unto me.” He did not say if they look like me or if they are completely able to function. He didn’t say, “Let them come to me if they have a certain IQ or if they come from a certain class or are free of disabilities.” It’s very clear that Jesus is saying, “Let the children come unto me.” Let them all come to me – now.
What should our response be as church?
By Jesus saying what he said so clearly, it is our responsibility to make sure we treat them, love them, see them and pray for them as they are called by name by God. One of the things that always inspires me when I talk to some of the parents of special needs children is that, a few of them at times thought about or were strongly counseled to have an abortion when they found out their child would have a great disability. Recently, a woman told me people had encouraged her to have an abortion, but she said she knew she was carrying life in her womb, and she wanted to give that life to the world and to God. That is so inspiring. This teaches us all about the dignity of human life.
Dominican Father Charles Latour, who is the principal of Archbishop Hannan High School, will be the regular celebrant of the Mass for God’s Northshore Blessings. What did he say in his homily?
He reflected on the Sunday Gospel about John the Baptist recognizing Jesus as people were lining up to be baptized in the Jordan River. John the Baptist said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” Father Charlie talked about the critical importance of recognizing Jesus. He said when John the Baptist recognized Jesus, he sort of yelled out and said, “Hey, Jesus!” And, he got to know him. So, we are called to do the same thing in our daily lives; we are called to look out and see Jesus walking among us – and we should call out to him as our friend. | 2019-04-23T03:54:25 | https://nolacatholic.org/blog/northshore-special-needs-group-honors-gift-of-life |

In 1998, I rode a bicycle across America, from Santa Barbara CA to Boston, taking a southern route to Dallas then back up trough Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Amish nation, Virginia, Washington, Maryland, PA, upper State N,Y, and Boston. The Southern portion of the route, specifically via Arizona, and New Mexico, was a single of the most lovely, and exotic component of the ride. You have inspired me to do a lens about it!

Founded in 1999, Versant has grown from our origins as a small brokerage operation to become a leading comprehensive supply chain services provider. Our success is a result of our focus on three core values: Versatility, Expertise and Momentum.
VERSATILITY – We believe that excellence in routine operations is a basic expectation of customers. As it should be. So we add value by going beyond meeting those expectations to resolve the logistical challenges that fall outside standard procedure. Versatility in attitude and skills is so core to the Versant culture that the very concept inspired our name.
EXPERTISE – Versant can certainly boast many years of success in providing supply chain solutions to blue chip clients. Adding to this depth of experience, however, is a unique breadth of expertise that spans every aspect of transportation, distribution and staffing.
MOMENTUM – With all of our focus on service and performance, we never forget that the essential objective is a more productive supply chain for our customers. That’s why we tailor our offerings to meet your needs, on your schedule, for maximum efficiency. We will do whatever it takes to bring the value of momentum to your supply chain. | 2019-04-25T18:56:17 | https://www.driverspost.com/company/40059/versant-supply-chain/ |

Hi Gwenno. Have you read The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger? This is a beautifully crafted book (in fact, it’s so well-crafted that just thinking about all the work that went into it hurts my brain!). I’d also recommend The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North which is a twist on time travel, about a man who has to live his life over and over again; and The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson, which discusses how love, history and destruction endlessly repeat themselves.
Hi Sheena, His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman was my first fantasy book and is my favourite series of all time, so I have to recommend that; it’s about a young girl called Lyra who travels to the far north to try and save her friend, encountering witches, talking polar bears and multiple worlds. The Book of Strange New Things and Under the Skin, both by Michel Faber, are science fiction books I have revisited many times. He has a way of writing the uncanny that is unparalleled. Oh, and if you’re a fan of Black Mirror, check out Children of the New World by Alexander Weinstein, a collection of speculative short stories.
Hi Solange. For picture books, take a look at The Journey by Francesca Sanna and The Arrival by Shaun Tan, both books about refugees and what it means to find yourself fleeing a country. The Island at the End of Everything by Kiran Millwood Hargrave is a wonderful middle grade novel that examines bodily difference, community and friendship. Orangeboy by Patrice Lawrence is a brilliant YA book, and England: Poems from a School edited by Kate Clanchy is a must read: a powerful collection of poetry written by children and teenagers that will stay with you for a very long time.
If I remember correctly, l think Jane Eyre was the first classic that I read cover to cover and adored. I would say that is a good place to start. Plus, the BBC adaptation with Ruth Wilson is wonderful to watch after reading, and there are many other texts you could go to afterwards, such as Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea.
Hi Sarah! I’d recommend Beyond the Bright Sea by Lauren Wolk and My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. When I was ten I adored When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr (in fact, I still do), inspired by the author’s real life, fleeing Germany just before the Second World War. I found it fascinating and it also helped with things I was about to learn about at school, too. Hope that helps!
The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night by Jen Campbell is out now in paperback, published by Two Roads, £7.99.

Audrey Brodsky is a lovable loser who hates her job. After 11 years she finally quits and sets off to pursue her childhood dream of becoming an actress! There's just one problem: she's not very good at it. But what she lacks in talent, she makes up for in heart.
When she meets an aspiring cameraman on the internet, the adventure of her life finally begins. Inspired by Wes Anderson's "Rushmore", the Coen Brothers "Raising Arizona" and Jean-Peirre Jeunet's "Amelie", Odd Brodsky is a quirky comedy about following your dreams and finding your bliss.

Committed midwife Rosa loves her husband Marcel, a therapist. They're a perfect match and share everything: love, life and even work. Rosa and Marcel's cleaner, Layla, feels abandoned since her former lover Navid has left her for a younger woman. She cannot accept his decision and stalks him while he pushes her away even harder. Motte, a waitress, is pregnant with her best friend Neo's baby. She is scared of intimacy in all its forms and does not want to commit at all, ultimately deciding to remain silent. During one fateful night, all three stories escalate, but one thing remains for sure: whatever happens, life goes on.

No matter whether you want to control visitors entering a stadium or monitor access to your company's premises: the mTripod is the ideal solution for numerous applications. The barrier is ideally designed to cope with robust handling thanks to its turnstile made of stainless steel or carbon and its suitability for outdoor use. However, the mTripod is also ideal for architecturally demanding environments: Its slimline design, distinctive lighting and comfortable throughput process mean it cuts a fine figure. Moreover, the mTripod also delivers the traditional virtues expected from Magnetic: drive technology that has been tried-and-tested more than one hundred thousand times, sensitive impact detection and comprehensive monitoring of the throughput process.
Anyone expecting large crowds on a daily basis requires secure footing. This is why we at Magnetic placed great importance on the stability of the housing on all FlowMotion® pedestrian barriers. The backbone of the systems is a massive frame made of mDure, whose design alone prevents hardly any mechanical deformations.
Corrosion, moisture and UV radiation – mTripod is unaffected by all of them. It is also resistant to knocks, scratches, aggressive chemicals and cleaning agents. Thanks to the extremely resistant 2-component material mDure and protection class IP54, the mTripod is ideally equipped for outdoor use. However, our convenient to use turnstile barrier also always cuts an exceptional figure indoors. See for yourself! | 2019-04-25T23:53:38 | https://www.flowmotion-access.com/en/mtripod.html |

Is today Day Zero or Day One?
This might sound pretty pointless and silly but when talking about a 20 working day SLA a day can mean alot between a massive fine or compliance.
During one of my driving lessons with Gary we were talking about his recent streak of passes. The conversation then lead on to pass rates and us wondering how this broken down – for example, by gender, ethnicity, age, driving instructor type (intense driving school \ chain \ individual driving instructor \ family etc).
Still curious, I decided to send off an a FOI request, before doing so, I went looking to see if someone else has which lead me to find some rather shocking data (see the bottom of the post). For those who don’t know, FOI stands for Freedom of Information. This is where Joe Public can request (reasonable) information from the public sector – after all, it is your (tax) money that they are spending. Logging FOI is dead straightforward thanks to WhatDoTheyKnow. Anyway, the Freedom of Information Act requires them (public sector folks) to reply within 20 working days.
So, if you log a FOI over the weekend, they receive it on the Monday, that’s Day Zero. Day One is actually the second day.
Working day means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or public holidays and bank holidays; this may or may not be the same as the days they are open for business or staff are in work.
So its important that public sector don’t close for extra days as they risk eating into that time they have to respond to FOI request and failure to reply can (ultimately) result in fines.

As one of the leading Passaic Country jewelry buyers, we help people by buying their jewelry almost every day. In most cases, our customers come in to sell their jewelry quickly and leave with the cash in hand. Some people, however, are curious about what we do with all the jewelry that we buy. No, we don’t give it all to our wives (much to their dismay).
The fact is, there are many different things that we do with the jewelry once we purchase it. It depends on a number of different factors that we evaluate based on the specific situation. The following are some of the most common things that are done with the jewelry that we purchase from our customers.
• We Resell it – If you sell us a nice piece of jewelry that is in good shape and in demand, we will clean it up and resell it to another customer. This is often a great opportunity for someone to get a piece of jewelry that they will love, while still saving money compared to buying from a new jewelry store.
• Fix it & Sell it – Some jewelry that we buy is broken or damaged. Our jewelry experts may be able to fix it up so that we can resell it to a customer. Of course, we only sell top quality jewelry here so it has to be fixed properly before we put it up for sale.
• Auction it off – Occasionally we will get an extremely valuable item into our shop. If it is not something we think we can sell to a typical customer, we will have it listed in a jewelry auction. These auctions happen around the country and throughout the year and they are a great way to sell high end jewelry.
• Sell for Materials – For jewelry that is not in style or is severely damaged, we can sell it to another company as scrap. Given the fact that gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals and stones are very valuable right now, we can pay top dollar for jewelry and still turn a profit by selling it as scrap in many cases.
These are the most common things that happen to jewelry that we buy here in our shop. To the extent possible, we try to resell it first because that is the easiest and best way to stay in business. Having these additional options, however, has made it so we can buy much more jewelry from our customers, and always pay top dollar for each item. Jewelry isn’t the only thing we buy, however. We also buy coins, watches, antiques and other things of value. If you have anything you would like to sell, make sure you contact us to work out all the details and see how much you can make today. | 2019-04-23T16:20:27 | https://www.ddbuyers.com/2014/12/27/what-do-passaic-county-jewelry-buyers-do-with-the-items/ |

PET Process: (Process experts, tools and technology) This testing process developed by HCL and approved quality analyst form of India. It is a refinement of V- Modal to define testing process along with development stages.
VI)Test Planning: After completion of test initiation, TL of the testing team concentrate on test planning to define "What to test", "How to test" ,"When to test", "Who to test"?. Test plan author follows below work bench (process) to prepare test plan document.
3) Prepare Test Plan: After completion of team formation and risk analysis test plan author prepare test plan document in IEEE format.
5) Features to be not tested: which ones and why not?
1. Business Logic: In general functionality and error handling based test cases prepared by test engineers depends on usecase in SRS. A usecase describes that how a user use specific functionality in our application. A test case describes that a test condition to apply on that application to validate. To prepare this type of test cases depends on usecases, we can follow below approach.
From a usecase and data modal, a login process allows userid and password. Userid is taking alphanumeric and lowercase from 4 to 16 characters long. Password allow alphabets in lower case from 4 to 8 characters long.
In banking application user can dial bank using his person computer. In this process user can use 6 digit pwd & below fields.
Test Case Format: During test design, test enggs are preparing test case documents in IEEE format.
11) Test Case Pass or Fail Criteria : When this case is pass, when this is case is fail?
Ex Prepare test case document for successful mail reply.
2 Input Domain Based Test Case: Usecases are describing functionality in terms of inputs, flow and output. But usecases are not responsible to define size and type of input objects. Due to this reasons test engineers are reading LLD's also. (data model or ER diagrams). To steady data model test engineer follows below approach.
Step 3: Identify critical attributes, which are participating in data retrievals and data manipulation.
Step 4 : Identify non critical attributes, which are just input/ output type.
From this usecase, if the tenor is greater than 10 months our system allows interest also as greater than 10%. Prepare test case document from above scenario.
Test Case 6: Un successful operation due to tenor is greater than 10 months and interest is less than 10%.
3. User Interface based test case design: To conduct user interface testing, test engineers are preparing UI test cases depends on our organization, user interface rules, global UI conventions (Microsoft 6 rules) and interest of customer site people.
At the end of this review, TL creates Requirement Trace ability Matrix. This is the mapping between BRS and prepared test cases. This is also known as Requirement Validation Matrix. (RVM).
After completion of all possible test cases writing for responsible modules and their review, testing team concentrate on test execution to detect defect in build.
From the above model, testing team receives build from development through �File Transfer Protocol�. To distinguish between old and modified builds, development use unique no version system. This system is understandable to test engineers. For this version controlling development, team people are using Visual SourceSafe.
4) Level -0: After receiving initial build from development team, testing team covers basic functionality of that build to estimate stability. During this testing, testing team applies below factors to check whether the build is stable for complete testing or not?
These are Testability Factors to do Sanity testing.
From the above factors, Sanity testing is also known as Testability testing, BVT, Octagonal testing and other shake-ups are called smoke testing.
6) Test Automation: After receiving stable build from development, testing team concentrate on test automation to create automated test script if possible.
7) Level -1 (Comprehensive testing): After receiving stable build from development team and completion possible automation, testing team concentrate on test execution to detect defects. They execute tests as batches. Test batch is also known as test suite or test set. Every test batch consists of a set of dependent test cases. During this test case execution as manual or automated, test engineer's create "Test Log". It consists of 3 types of entries.
Re-execute their previous tests on that modified build to ensure bug fix work and possibility of side effects. This type of re- execution of tests is called regression testing.
Note: If development team release modified builds due to project requirement changes, test engineer executes all P0, P1 and carefully selected P2 test cases. | 2019-04-21T12:25:11 | http://www.etestinghub.com/manual_testing1.php |
Lunchroom workers are the face of the school meals program. Accordingly, when interventions are successful in the lunchroom, it is important to give credit where credit is due.

What are your chances of dying on your next flight, being called for jury duty, or winning the lottery? We all encounter probability problems in our everyday lives. In this collection of twenty-one puzzles, Paul Nahin challenges us to think creatively about the laws of probability as they apply in playful, sometimes deceptive, ways to a fascinating array of speculative situations. Games of Russian roulette, problems involving the accumulation of insects on flypaper, and strategies for determining the odds of the underdog winning the World Series all reveal intriguing dimensions to the workings of probability. Over the years, Nahin, a veteran writer and teacher of the subject, has collected these and other favorite puzzles designed to instruct and entertain math enthusiasts of all backgrounds. If idiots A and B alternately take aim at each other with a six-shot revolver containing one bullet, what is the probability idiot A will win? What are the chances it will snow on your birthday in any given year? How can researchers use coin flipping and the laws of probability to obtain honest answers to embarrassing survey questions? The solutions are presented here in detail, and many contain a profound element of surprise. And some puzzles are beautiful illustrations of basic mathematical concepts: "The Blind Spider and the Fly," for example, is a clever variation of a "random walk" problem, and "Duelling Idiots" and "The Underdog and the World Series" are straightforward introductions to binomial distributions. Written in an informal way and containing a plethora of interesting historical material, Duelling Idiots is ideal for those who are fascinated by mathematics and the role it plays in everyday life and in our imaginations. | 2019-04-25T12:06:27 | https://www.beck-shop.de/nahin-duelling-idiots-other-probability-puzzlers/product/10291741?campaign=webcode&utm_source=offline&utm_medium=webcode&utm_campaign=print-stuff&pac=weco_sem |

Administration costs attributable to outdated technology and manual processes result in one of the biggest sunken costs in healthcare. For example, in 2016 there were an estimated 72 million patient benefit verifications done manually, each costing approximately $8. Verifying benefits electronically costs an estimated 49 cents per member.
Even a task as seemingly simple as verifying benefits - when done manually - can have a huge cost impact for health insurance plans. Those costs multiply when considering the resources necessary to accurately and effectively process claims.
The more administration costs increase – now estimated between 12 and 18 percent of every premium dollar spent -- the tighter margins become, and the less money health plans have to reinvest in crucial differentiators such as customer service, care coordination, new lines of business, and other innovations.
Needless to say, health plans are feeling the squeeze. With changing regulations and shifting business models putting further pressure on health plans, lowering administration costs is one key area they can and should master.
Here’s how three health plans recently took different approaches to lowering their administrative costs.
Regulatory changes such as the passage of the Affordable Care Act and new consumer expectations around wanting a more retail-like experience combined to create a critical need for change for Medica, based in Minnetonka, MN., with more than a million covered lives. “We’ve chosen transformation to hit these expectations head on,” says Kimberly Branson, Medica’s VP of Operations.
With adjudication rates in the “high 80s”, another big win for Medica after implementing HealthEdge’s HealthRules® core administration platform was empowering its call center employees. Training was reduced from ten weeks to six because HealthRules is “so intuitive and easy to use,” says Branson. Not only that, but they are also able to put representatives out on the floor during training to give them real-world experience dealing with actual customers.
“Customer service is probably the hardest job at any health plan,” says Branson. But with HealthRules, Medica has been able to transform that entire experience leading to higher customer satisfaction and reduced costs related to employee training.
The core administration technology McLaren Health Plan, a fully integrated health network based in Flint, MI, was using was outdated. It was a technology stack approaching 30 years old, that couldn’t be updated in a timely manner and worse - only a few people in the organization even knew how to use it.
For a health plan servicing more than 20,000 physicians, that outdated technology led to a claims auto-adjudication rate of exactly zero percent, says Sara Mavredes, Director of Strategic Initiatives. “It was not going to take us into the future. We wouldn’t be in business if we didn’t make a change,” she says. McLaren came to the decision that they needed to implement new technology that would allow the business to work more efficiently, intelligently, and give them the margin to implement new strategic initiatives.
Now, with auto-adjudication rates exceeding 90%, McLaren doesn’t have to add additional claims staff as they expand with new physicians and members. They’ve even been able to reallocate people resources to other aspects of the business. That scalability has allowed McLaren to lower administration costs while rolling out value-add services, such as new types of health plans and even a mobile app.
By the end of 2018, 80% of health plan contracts in Rhode Island are required to have quality or alternative payment models built in to them, per recently signed legislation by Gov. Gina Raimondo. Neighborhood Health Plan has always focused on quality for its underserved members by taking care of them holistically. But providing the necessary services to achieve that quality of care requires them to work as efficiently as possible.
That means having technology that is easier, faster, more efficient every time an employee at the health plan gets on the phone with a member, say executives at NHPRI. That wasn’t possible with their previous technology investments. But with HealthEdge’s HealthRules, employees now have the data and real-time information available to them to help patients as quickly as possible, cutting down on future administration costs in the process.
With efficient processes in place thanks to a modern core administration technology system, employees also have near instant access to back-end member data that provides insights resulting in quality and cost-effective care to members.
No matter how a health plan decides to strategically lower its administration costs, it’s clear that making it part of an overall strategy, including a roadmap and executing against it is crucial for not only the business but also for the health and satisfaction of members. | 2019-04-21T21:05:15 | https://www.healthedge.com/how-3-health-plans-took-unique-approaches-lowering-administration-costs |
Ever eaten Stone Age food?
A meal of specially marinated ribs, fresh salad with a herb dressing and the unique AÖZA round, flat bread with herbs, all prepared fresh with ingredients proven to have existed and been available during the Stone Age. Unlike others, the AÖZA-Platter is also eaten… Let us surprise you and set yourself back a few thousand years.
The idea for the AÖZA-Platter is not a recipe in the usual sense. It is only meant as a guideline, which leaves all necessary freedom in the kitchen. For the marinade you need some water, a bit of broth, vinegar, sweetener, peppercorns, allspice, juniper berries, majoram, and one large onion, quartered with skin. Combine all ingredients to taste and let the marinade cook thoroughly for a while. Cut the ribs between the bones and place them in the boiling broth. Be careful! Only let the ribs boil slowly, otherwise the meat will come off the bone. The ribs should only be cooked 2/3 well done. Remove the meat carefully from the broth and place it into a roasting pan and finish cooking the meat at approx. 160°C in the oven until the meat is well done. Return the meat to the broth and let cool.
For the salad you need lentils (cook in a little unsalted water, until only slightly soft and let them cool), apples (cut them into small pieces), nuts (chopped into medium small pieces), and lettuce (cut into medium sized slices). Mix all ingredients. For the dressing you need to mix applesauce, a little herb vinegar, oil and some water. Pour dressing over the salad.
Remove the meat from the broth and let it drip dry. Place meat on a board or plate and garnish with salad on the side. Spread a little maple syrup on the meat and serve with the flat herb bread. And please... don't forget a finger bowl and a wealth of napkins!! | 2019-04-21T01:18:55 | http://pcl-eu.de/service/taste/text.php?id=27 |

The five drummers will play drums for 100 hours simultaneously and consecutively, during which time competitors will be able to stop for five minutes per each hour played. To guarantee the recognition of the record the management of the rest time will be done as a group and always simultaneously. To beat this record it is necessary that three of the five drummers spend the 100 hours playing the drums. | 2019-04-22T08:57:17 | https://drum4syria.com/web/drum4syria/ |
Traveling over the holidays can be stressful, I know. We’re currently packing bags for our family of 5 to fly to South America over the holidays for a 3 week stay. As if cancelled flights, delays on the tarmac and long lines for airport bathrooms weren’t bad enough, you might be tempted to throw in the towel on traveling with Christmas gifts this year. Let me help!
Make the season merry, put on a smile, and “click” to purchase any of these tried-and-true children’s Christmas gifts that will easily pack into even the smallest piece of carry-on luggage. It’s a win-win: you pick up an all-star gift that slips right into your suitcase, allowing oodles of space for all your personal items and the recipient will beam as he unwraps the thoughtful gift you brought along with you.
Every single one of these toys was given a 5-star recommendation from my own children. Many of them are toys we own and love. *These gifts are intended to delight kiddos in the 3-5 year age range.
This vibrant, fun cartoon puzzle is more than just a puzzle! My kids love the “spot and find” feature, kind of like “Where’s Waldo?” built right into the puzzle.
These paints glide on with a wet brush and wash off beautifully. By far these were my children’s favorite gift last Christmas…and we still have paints left even after nearly weekly applications.
Practice makes perfect! What a better way to teach children to hold a real fishing pole than to play with this fun magnetic pole?!
By far, this was and is my children’s favorite book, rivaled only by this one.
Every child loves showcasing their inner artist in the tub. These crayons wash off clean simply with water.
Trigger imaginative play with a colorful superhero cape!
Use these silly cards to build your own stories. Guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing, every story is different.
Because crayons are more fun in peculiar shapes.
P.S. Really “rock” this gift by pickup up a fantastic coloring book to go with it!
Every single Bible story points to Jesus in this incredible kids Bible. We’re now on our 2nd copy, my children “read” this so often both at nighttime for family bedtime reading and on their own.
Spy gear or jungle safari equipment, this pair of binoculars will bring out the Indiana Jones in every child.
Children love painting the windows with these bright window markers. I’ve never tried the crystal effects version, but we’re smitten with the vibrancy of the standard line- so much brighter than dry-erase markers, that I know my kidlets would giggle with glee to test these out.
Classic kid fun. If anybody has tips for how to fly these, please share in the comments! My children love kites even though ours has never flown more than a foot or two above my head.
Remove cleanly and add pizazz to the child’s room.
Share the wealth! Parents, do you have more children’s gift ideas to add to the list? Please share them in the comments and help everyone out!
These are such awesome ideas! We aren’t traveling anywhere this Christmas, but last year we spent a few days visiting my parents before heading off on a month-long stay in another state, and I wish some of the gifts we’d received had been small like this! Our car was PACKED! Thanks for sharing!
You bet, Chelsea! Happy to help. I know it can be really frustrating to do last-minute shopping right before Christmas, so if you travel with gifts in tow, it’s less stressful. Hope you and your family have a spectacular celebration this year.
Jared, I’d love to know how to save the airport hassle, but until you and I shell out for a private jet, I’m afraid we’ll have to make do 😉 Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to stop by.
These are all great ideas! I love that fishing pole for boys and of course the super girl cape and mask is so cute! These are great gifts for a few kids on my list and I think I will head over right now and look into ordering them! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked the options, Melissa. I’m always trying to find new fun gifts that will keep my kiddos entertained for more than a quick second. Have a great Christmas!
I love the superhero cape. Very clever. The face paints work. Love the bath crayons. Great gifts!
These are great ideas for those traveling and for those not traveling. I know several kids that would like everything on this list. These gifts will provide hours of fun.
Thanks for the encouragement, Gwendolyn! I just know my kiddos were pleased with them, so I figured other parents could get some ideas from it.
I always thought it would be hard on families who have to travel during the holidays. I love the cape it’s my favorite. The colored rocks look like fun too. These are really great options.
Thanks so much, Valerie. Kids love dress up, and buying them a superhero cape is an easy way to get them engaged in creative, imaginative play. Thanks so much for visiting.
You have picked out some really great gift ideas. My kids always get a book for Christmas and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a favorite of ours! We love the whole series.
I’m so happy to hear that your kids enjoy the whole series. I’ve been planning to buy a couple more in the series either for Christmas this year or for the kids birthdays next year. Thanks for filling me in, Kate!
We won’t be traveling anywhere this Christmas. However, these gift ideas are still great for us as we don’t have much space for bigger toys. I want my kiddos Christmas to be special regardless.
Books and puzzles are great since these can keep them company. These are also good alternatives to mobile apps and computer games that kids nowadays are addicted to. Face paint remover should also be part of the suitcase essentials if you’re carrying face paint.
I’m totally on board with you, Roch. I’m not at all a fan of techie gadgets, especially for young kids. Mine have none. Oil based face paints definitely would benefit from having a remover added to the gift. Fortunately, I’ve found that the dry add-water formulas remove cleanly with a wet washcloth- where was that when I was a kid, haha?!
We have been thinking of traveling at the holiday time because the kids are off of school. Since it is also off season for a lot of places you can get some great deals and smaller crowds….we think it would be awesome! But….the whole Santa thing…not sure how to handle that. These gift ideas are great for giving the kids a festive holiday while traveling! | 2019-04-26T12:26:09 | http://www.jellibeanjournals.com/15-kids-gifts-you-can-pack-in-a-suitcase/ |
During 2013 and early 2014 a test program was carried out to evaluate a multi-electrode, High Resolution Resistivity/ Induced Polarization (HRRIP) system over 9 mineral deposits within the non-glaciated region of the Yukon. The HRRIP system was chosen over conventional resistivity/IP systems used in the mining industry for the following reasons: 1) The lack of glacial material overlying these deposits means they can be mapped at depths less than 70 to 80 m, 2) conventional systems require the use of large generators to generate the current, with corresponding large field crews, and often require line cutting whereas the HRRIP systems can be used with limited or no line cutting, 3) the HRRIP systems only require a battery operated current source with a crew of 3 to 4 personnel and are therefore portable and light weight, 4) this means the HRRIP systems are faster, cheaper, and leave a smaller environmental footprint. The HRRIP systems are therefore an economic and environmentally friendly way to explore for these targets because exploration costs are reduced with smaller crews and less time spent collecting the data in the field.
HRRIP systems have been used within the environmental and engineering geophysical community for more than 30 years. Typical applications include locating aggregate, groundwater mapping, salt water intrusion into fresh water aquifers, contaminant and leachate mapping, shallow landslide hazard mapping of slip planes, porosity and potential debris volumes and locating buried tunnels and sink holes. These systems are ideal for follow-up of exploration targets in non-glaciated environments since they can map shallow resistivity and IP structures potentially associated with mineralization and/or alteration products to depths between 70 and 80 m.
The geology of the nine deposits is well known and they have been extensively drilled to outline mineralization. They are perfect deposits for testing the HRRIP system. The deposits were selected to provide different deposit types, different structural styles and different metal content (Au, Ag. Cu, Pd, Zn). The resistivity and IP responses depend on the host rock of the deposit as well as the type of mineralization associated with the deposit. For example, the stockwork structure of a porphyry copper deposit containing disseminated sulphide mineralization has a distinct IP response.
The primary goal of the study was to investigate if these high resolution systems could be used to map known mineralization and structure. In particular, for which deposit types and/or geological situations does the method work and are there deposits where the inversions are inconclusive or incomplete. By understanding the geophysical response over deposits with known geology and mineralization we learn how the HRRIP method can be more effectively utilized in prospective areas where the geology and mineralization are not that well known. A second goal was to investigate which array type(s), if any, were most effective for mapping the different deposit types. The nine deposits selected to test the HRRIP method provided a cross section of the target types and mineralization outlined above.
This paper summarises the main results of the study and provides example inversions from the Klaza gold deposit.
Multi-electrode, high resolution, shallow resistivity/IP systems are a light weight version of traditional resistivity/IP systems used for mineral exploration. Their main advantage is they are portable, light-weight, and do not require large generators for the current. For example, an 84-electrode 2D array with an electrode spacing of 5 m covers a distance of 415 m and, depending on the array used, images the upper 50 to 100 m of the subsurface. In addition, the smaller electrode spacing provides good lateral resolution. Longer lines are obtained using roll-along techniques similar to those utilized within the seismic industry. These systems can collect data using common arrays (Fig. 1) such as dipole-dipole, pole-dipole, pole-pole, and Wenner-Schlumberger (or inverse Wenner-Schlumberger), as well as specialized arrays such as the strong gradient array developed by Advanced Geoscience Inc (AGI). See Best et al. 2014 for further details of the arrays. Each array has its strengths and weaknesses when imaging the subsurface. A comparison of using a battery versus a generator was carried out at the Brewery Creek case study (Figure 4). The results showed that batteries provided a more stable current (Best et al, 2014). Hence all the case study tests were carried out using batteries.
An Advanced Geosciences lnc. (AGI) Supersting multi-electrode resistivity/IP system with 84 electrodes was used to collect the resistivity and induced polarization (IP) data. The electrode spacing was fixed at 5 m for this case study, providing a spread length of 83 x 5 = 415 m. Most lines were short enough so that only a single spread length was necessary. Those lines longer than a spread length were obtained using the roll-along option of the Supersting System.
The current (I) and voltage (V) were measured for each electrode pair and converted to an apparent resistivity (ρa) using the following formulas (Sumner, 1976).
where V is the measured voltage (volts), I is the injected current (amperes), a is the spacing between the electrodes (m) and n is a multiple of the electrode spacing (5, 10, 15 m, etc., i.e. n = 1, 2, 3, etc.). The apparent resistivity computed from the above equations equals the actual resistivity of the subsurface only for the case of a homogenous earth. The inverse Schlumberger array is the same as the Schlumberger array except the current and voltage electrodes are interchanged (reciprocity theorem).
The resistivity data were presented as an apparent resistivity pseudosection (Fig. 2). If the subsurface was not a simple homogenous layer then the actual resistivity must be determined from inversion of a forward model. The forward model can be a 1D, 2D or 3D. We used a two-dimensional inversion program (Earthimager software developed by AGI) because 3D data collection is time-consuming and expensive and we collected the profiles with lines placed parallel to known strike in order to keep the interpretation as close to 2D as possible.
Figure 2. Example of an apparent resistivity pseudosection for a dipole-dipole array.
where the voltage Vp is the same voltage used in the equations for the apparent resistivity and is the voltage just before the current is turned off as shown in Figure 2.
The Supersting collects the IP data in 6 time windows starting from time zero and spaced logarithmically. The six voltages (or subset of them) are averaged and divided by the initial (time zero) voltage VP to provide the chargeability. The voltages in the 6 time windows are stored so the user can determine which ones to use during further processing. At least 4 of the voltages must be used in order to produce statistically meaningful chargeability values. The IP data were plotted as IP pseudosections. The Earthimager software uses a forward model (Sumner, 1976) in order to obtain the sub-surface chargeability distribution. The process is similar to that carried out for resistivity inversions.
Minimal line cutting was needed for the AGI Supersting system since the multi-element cable is lightweight and required little effort to move it around in the field . The cable is segregated into 6 sections, each with 14 electrodes to make up the 84 electrode system. Three sections were placed behind the console and 3 were placed in front of the console, making the console the center point of the spread. When a line required roll-along either one or three of the back sections were moved to the front and the console was moved to the new center position. In most instances it only took a few hours to get a single spread ready for data acquisition. Soaking the electrodes to reduce the contact resistance and ensuring they are properly connected to the cable takeouts required the most time. Once all of the electrodes were connected and soaked it took several hours per array type to collect all combinations of current and voltage electrodes for a single spread. A significant amount of the time is for averaging the voltage signal to improve signal-to-noise. The same spread, however, was used for multiple array types without making any physical changes to the cable layout.
The final 2D resistivity and chargeability inversions were output as xyz files for input into Geosoft to produce the sections in the report.

The locations of the 9 case studies are shown on the Yukon terrane map in Figure 4. Brewery Creek (CS-1), Dublin Gulch (CS-2), and Flame/ Moth (CS-3) are east of the Tintina fault and lie within the Selwyn basin. The other case study targets are located west of the Tintina fault and lie within the Yukon Tanana terrane, a pericratonic sequence that extends from northern British Columbia, through Yukon, and into southern Alaska (Colpron et al., 2006; Wainwright et al., 2011). The Yukon Tanana terrane consists of Paleozoic schist and gneiss that were deformed and metamorphosed in the late Paleozoic, and intruded by several suites of Mesozoic intrusions that range in age from Jurassic to Eocene (Mortensen, 1992; Colpron et al., 2006). From Late Permian to Early Jurassic, the rocks were tectonically stacked along foliation- parallel thrust faults (Mortensen, 1992; Berman et al., 2007).
The Klaza property (Figure 4), a gold-silver vein/breccia occurrence in the south Dawson Range, is located in the Mt. Nansen area west of Carmacks within the Paleozoic Yukon-Tanana terrane. Mineralization is hosted in Mid-Cretaceous granodiorite and is associated with four distinct southwest-dipping faulted zones: the Klaza, BYG, Herc, and BRX zones. Lewis and Burke (2011) described galena, arsenopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite-bearing veins and breccia, and noted phyllic and argillic alteration of breccia clasts and in the adjacent granodiorite wall rock. The high resolution resistivity/IP survey was carried out over the BRX and Klaza zones (Figure 5).

Dipole-dipole extended (see Best et al., 2014), inverse Schlumberger, and strong gradient array data were collected on lines KL-050E and BRX-600E (Figure 5). The length of these lines was 415 m (a single spread length) for all arrays. The average RMS error of fit for these 6 arrays (3 per line) was 2.91% with the highest value equal to 4.2% for the dipole dipole extended array on line BRX-600E. These lines had a very high signal-to-noise ratio providing excellent high quality data.
The resistivity and chargeability inversions for the dipole-dipole extended array for line KL-050E, including borehole geology and gold grade, are shown in Figure 6. The black outline is a resistivity low associated with a chargeability high over the mineralized vein and breccia zone. The HRRIP survey indicates these features extend in depth, consistent with the borehole results showing the mineralization also continues at depth. All 3 arrays (dipole-dipole extended, inverse Schlumberger, and strong gradient) on this line showed similar results. The granodiorite showed up as a resistivity high as expected. However, the chargeability values were quite variable. The individual veins and fracture zones did not show up since they were too narrow. but the mineralized zone containing all these individual fractures showed up quite nicely.
Figure 6. Resistivity (upper) and chargeability (lower) inversions of the dipoledipole extended array for line KL-050E. Gold grades are indicated on the boreholes.
The resistivity and chargeability inversions for the inverse Schlumberger array on line BRX- 600E is presented in Figure 7. The results were generally consistent with those for line KL-050E. There were two mineralized zones along this line (outlined by black lines) with resistive granodiorite surrounding them. As before the inverted resistivity tended to agree more closely with the mineralization than the chargeability, although they both outlined the general mineralized zones. The mineralized zone at the NE end of the line had a large chargeability feature associated with it but the zone near the SW end only had a moderate chargeability. This was consistent with all three of the arrays. The black lines indicated only partial overlap between resistivity lows and chargeability highs on this line.

The HRRIP method turned out to be a fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly approach to explore for mineral deposits in non-glaciated regions of the Yukon. Agreement between known geology and mineralization and the inverted profiles was generally good. In some of the test cases chargeability was effective in locating areas of mineralization and in others resistivity outlined structure and geological formations.
Below are a few general observations.
gold mineralization associated with sulphide and/or clay alteration often produced a chargeability response.
resistivity lows were usually related to metasedimentary rocks. Mineralization can be associated with the contact between metasediments and the surrounding resistive rocks (see for example the Eagle deposit case study (CS-2) in Best et al., 2014).
inverted resistivity profiles provided information on structure and geology which can be used for locating targets of potential mineralization.
most of the inverted resistivity profiles contained a near surface (approximately the upper 10 to 15 m) section containing numerous high resistivity features related to patches of permafrost.
The study, however, did identify inconsistencies between inversion results, both resistivity and IP, from different arrays along the same line (Best et al., 2014). This points out the importance of using both for interpretation.
The study showed that different geological settings and/or type of mineralization influenced the response of a given array type. The characteristics of one deposit type leads to low resistivity values, for example clay alteration and/or sulphide mineralization, whereas the characteristics of another deposit type leads to high resistivity values, for example quartz veins. Similar arguments hold for how deposit type affects chargeability.
Dipole-dipole and extended dipole-dipole arrays have been shown to have excellent lateral resolution, particularly for inverted resistivity. On the other hand the inverse Schlumberger array, and its extended version were effective at locating chargeability features associated with mineralization. The strong gradient array was somewhere between these two with regard to resistivity resolution and imaging mineralized zones with the chargeability. The location of the “infinity” current electrode influenced the response of pole-dipole arrays and led to asymmetric pseudosections . The depth of exploration for a pole-dipole array is approximately 50% more than the other arrays for a given “a” spacing and fixed number of electrodes. Near-surface resolution, however, was poorer for the pole-dipole array than for the other arrays. Merging pole-dipole data with “infinity” electrodes placed at opposite ends of the spread eliminated any asymmetry associated with single “infinity” locations.

S Pictures is ready with its next offering. The past five years have seen Shankar’s banner becoming synonymous with quality cinema, starting with Kadhal in 2004. That is why Eeram, releasing this Friday, is being looked forward to with a lot of expectation. Directed by debutante Arivazhagan, a former assistant of Shankar, Eeram has promises to be one in the true S Pictures mould of good cinema.
The indications were seen even at the audio launch which was held early in August, attended by the big names of the industry which included Superstar. Though not much is known about the plot of Eeram, except for the director’s statement of it being a soft love thriller, Shankar’s confidence at the function has indicated that the movie has come out well. He had predicted a good reception for the film at the box office stating that with the audience’s blessings it had the potential to go on to become a superhit.
Thaman. The music seems to have largely stuck to the confines of the script without trying anything special. As said by Shankar at the audio launch and as indicated by the album, rain is a constant presence in the movie, maybe as a metaphor. Camera for Eeram has been handled by Manoj Paramahamsa.
With summer making an extended stay in our part of the world let us hope that ‘Eeram’ comes as a pleasant change. | 2019-04-23T20:24:43 | http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-previews/preview-1/eeram.html |

As air transport globally has grown significantly in the last few decades, there has been an increased focus on the environmental impacts of air travel particularly noise and air quality.
A number of measures have been introduced in recent years to mitigate the adverse impact of air travel on the environment. At European level, Directive 2008/101/EC has been adopted to provide for the inclusion of aviation activities in the European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is leading on the transposition of this Directive into national law. | 2019-04-24T14:49:46 | http://www.dttas.ie/aviation/aviationservices/aviationenvironment |

During the past month, political pundits have not been the only people disagreeing vociferously about how the United States should respond to Bashir Al Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons. International non-governmental organizations — often referred to more simply as INGOs — have also been divided.
As several commenters have noted, human rights and humanitarian INGOs have diverged considerably on the question of what an appropriate international response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria would look like. Some INGOs made public statements denouncing military action in Syria. Others refrained from taking a position or even encouraged the use of force. INGOs have also adopted diverse positions in the broader, and still ongoing, debate about how the international community should address Syria’s pressing humanitarian crisis.
Such disagreements sound familiar to me since I recently read Sarah Stroup’s fascinating new book on INGOs Borders Among Activists: International NGOs in the United States, Britain and France. In the book, Stroup, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Middlebury College, pushes back against the conventional notion that INGOs are forging a sort of “global civil society.” Instead, she notices significant variations in the practices of human rights and humanitarian INGOs. After the 2003 American invasion of Iraq, for example, she describes how American INGOs such as CARE and Human Rights Watch worked with the United States government on aid delivery and post-war reconstruction, whereas European INGOs such as Amnesty International and Médecins Sans Frontières adopted relatively confrontational stances towards the U.S.-led war effort.
Drawing on evidence about the activities of human rights and humanitarian INGOs in many cases beyond just Iraq, Stroup argues that organizations vary significantly in their practices, strategies, and public policy stances because of their different national origins. Although all manner of INGOs end up working overseas in the very same locations, they work differently when they get there because they started off in quite different places. American INGOs are “cooperative professionals,” for example, in contrast to the “establishment radicals” at British INGOs and the “principled protesters” of their French counterparts. Stroup emphasizes several sources of those national differences, including different regulatory environments, social networks, and resources.
Citizens often turn to the statements of prominent INGOs when they are seeking to form their opinions about controversial foreign policy issues. That is especially the case on matters of human rights and humanitarian action, issues on which INGOs are particularly active and, perhaps, credible. Some people looked at INGOs’ various statements on chemical weapons in Syria and saw “a display of irrelevance.” Others may have simply been confused. What is worth appreciating when trying to decode the mixed signals that INGOs are sending is that these organizations — despite their universal-sounding names and missions — hail from different countries and therefore have quite different approaches. In other words, when it comes to transnational organizations’ behaviors, where you stand depends on where you — or, at least, your headquarters — sit.
INGOs’ disagreements about how to respond to the civil war in Syria seem to reflect broader differences within what is sometimes called the “international community.” INGOs such as Save the Children are trying to push world leaders at the United Nations this week for more humanitarian access in Syria. Forging agreement within the international community on what to do in Syria will likely require that moral entrepreneurs recognize and understand what divides them — including various factors related to their national origins.
‘… American INGOs such as CARE and Human Rights Watch worked with the United States government on aid delivery and post-war reconstruction, whereas European INGOs such as Amnesty International and Médecins Sans Frontières adopted relatively confrontational stances towards the U.S.-led war effort. ….
This would seem to indicate that the American INGOs had somehow been colonized by the U.S. government or ruling class, since there was a lot of antipathy for Bush’s military adventures among the American people in general, which, one would think, would have shown up in some organizations of Americans. I wonder if Stroup goes into this subject (which might not be easy to uncover), or merely observes the surface phenomena. Not that the latter is not valuable, for it at least points directly to the former.
Or, in my opinion far more likely, it was that they decided their priority should be on delivering essentials and providing medical attention rather than opposing the military that might impact their ability to do that.
Many Americans were at best (for Bush) uncertain about Iraq and at worst (for Bush) openly against it. I’m pretty sure most of them would still try to focus on aid work in such a situation.
Yeah, I can’t see this as a co-option of American INGOs by government elites, at least beyond the popular-in-2002 idea that removing Saddam Hussein was a just and readily achievable mission. If INGOs wanted to operate within Iraq having a productive relationship with the governing authority (read: US military) was vital.
I am no expert on the matter, but I believe that Médecins Sans Frontières never meaningfully operated in post-invasion Iraq citing danger, a decision that likely had something to do with the group’s perception of the invasion overall.
I was trying to account for the stated difference in behavior between the American and the European organizations.
I have no inside information about any of the organizations mentioned, but a certain amount of backchannel influence and even infiltration hardly seem beyond the realms of possibility.
Also – if you’re interested – the best insider debate on Iraq is between Nicholas de Torrente (MSF USA) and Paul O’Brien (then CARE USA) in the 2004 volume of the Harvard Human Rights Journal. O’Brien makes exactly the argument that Grant and Taylor are making – taking aid from belligerent governments, and cooperating with authorities on the ground, helps relief agencies save more lives. | 2019-04-23T00:26:24 | https://politicalviolenceataglance.org/2013/09/30/decoding-what-human-rights-groups-said-about-syria/ |

Welcome to Weekly Round-Up No. 2! This week we feature debut releases by Kovic, Kalli Ma, Annie’s Over The Infinite and Jesse Early. Enjoy the music!
Quite the impressive debut by Kovic! “Wires” is an amazing pop rock song that sounds both classic and contemporary. Everything is brought with expertise, intensity and sincerity. The song has a dramatic grandeur and intimate breakdowns. Both the lyrics about love and heartbreak and the vocals will grab you. Furthermore it’s catchy and epic, and will appeal to huge stadium audiences. What else can we say? Kovic is going to be huge!
London duo Kalli Ma burst on the underground dance scene with “Promises”, a track best described as electro-trance-punk. A pulsating beat drives the song, while intertwining bleeps and acid house sounds induce a hypnotic state. Your guide throughout the track is Molly Meet with her vocals with attitude. A dark dancefloor killer for those who are tired of dancepop tunes. Inescapable.
Sometimes you discover a unique and mysterious track. This is one of them. The artist’s name Annie’s Over The Infinite gives away a little about the sound: imaginative, spacey and psychedelic. Deep, dark, synth-heavy soundscapes that draw you in from the very first moment. With only a distant, fragile female voice as guidance. Compelling.
Official debut song from Nashville artist Jessie Early. She’s knocking on our heart with this delightful electropop song. “Heart” is calm and dreamlike, with lovely warm 80s-inspired synth-melodies and her heavenly voice. A steady drum pattern is functioning as a heartbeat. A song you will be attached to after the first listen! Her EP “Wild Honey” is out on March 31st. | 2019-04-23T18:47:40 | http://www.indiepopups.com/weekly-round-ups/2017-02/ |

“Maybe I should pour something for you that is a little more calming,” the sleepy-eyed, Seattle coffee shop barista remarked. Agitated with his slow service, I responded by rolling my eyes and loudly drumming my fingers on the counter.
The third day into a rainy road trip had taken my last ounce of patience.
It was early March, and my son had insisted that we—he, my husband and I—should all drive to Canada from San Diego, California in the new used car we bought when our 1997 Nissan truck with 300,000 miles succumbed to old age. He thought the trip might be good for me; cure my recent crabby attitude and all that.
His persistence stemmed from a concern over my wallowing in a deep, dark funk for several months. Concern over my father’s health, a surge of unexpected bills and harassment from new landlords, which resulted in an expensive move, had all but destroyed my optimism and resources.
At first I did not want to go but, eventually I relented, and the three of us piled into the new used car to go find Canada.
The first day of the trip was fine. The second day we crossed the border into Oregon and sheets of rain came down like a curtain, casting a morbid spell where I sat in the back seat of the car feeling sorry for myself. I just wanted to go home.
The Oregonians annoyed me with their obliviousness to the rain. They blithely walked through it without the need to do anything to avoid getting soaked. I however, was an obvious tourist sheltering myself with a huge umbrella and wearing two winter coats, a hat and heavy gloves.
As if the rain and cramped quarters were not enough, somewhere between Eugene and Portland, my stomach rebelled. I was miserable. When the guys decided to stop and get something to eat at the food carts that are popular in the area, I protested, but got out of the car anyway.
Sloshing around the lot where the carts were, I spotted one where the vendor was pushing all sorts of stuff through a machine that poured juice out one end while it vomited pulp out the other. I liked his approachable and easy-going attitude, so I did what I always do when I like someone—I told him my life’s story. He suggested I try one of his drinks, which I bought. Whatever was in the drink stopped my stomach problems and lifted my spirits. I even stopped complaining—until Seattle.
That night we stayed in a place where everyone shared the bathrooms and showers. My irritation was palpable. At this point in my life, having a personal toilet in a strange place did not seem like too much to ask.
The next morning, I set out looking for my daily fix of coffee. I traipsed three or four blocks through more rain from the room with no toilet to the only Starbucks that opened at 6 a.m. Blasting through the doors, I stood for what seemed like an eternity as the overly mellow barista ignored my shuffling and finger tapping at the coffee bar before suggesting he pour me a more calming drink.
That afternoon saw the last leg of the trip. Canada seemed like some Land of Oz now and I just wanted to get there so I could turn around and leave.
As we left Seattle, the rain eased a bit and brightened the overcast sky. We were only 141 miles from our destination, which meant I could begin planning the return trip in my head.
At the Canadian border, the sun finally broke through the clouds. It blinded me for a second so that I did not notice the lush green countryside or the crystal blue water that surrounded Vancouver. The politeness of the people caught me off-guard as well. Everyone smiled. I wondered if the cart vender from Oregon who had settled my stomach and nerves shipped his drinks up there.
We checked into a motel painted hot pink and apple green on the outside and various other colors on the inside. A small, disorganized manager with a thick Indian accent gave us a tour of the place as if it were the Taj Mahal. His arms moved in grand sweeping gestures as he smiled and pointed out things like the heater and dilapidated lamps.
At that moment, I understood the true meaning of the quote, “Perception is Reality.” I realized it is not so much what life throws at us, but how we choose to catch it; and that a hot pink and apple green, falling-down dump can look just like a castle if we squint our inner eye a certain way.
My self-absorbed problems and emotions had held me back from actually seeing and simply enjoying each moment that I was fortunate enough to live. When I opened myself to that gratitude, I understood that it is okay to eat ice cream no matter how cold or rainy the weather is, enjoy someone singing a Louisiana blues song in a Vancouver farmer’s market and accept the fact that even though you do not have your own toilet, life will go on.
We took the coastal route home, stopping to put our feet in the sand and admire the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
The sun shone the entire way back—even in Washington and Oregon. But, by then, I would not have minded if it rained.

It sounds as if the journey reshaped your soul after all. I think the Northwest does that to a person. What a wise son you must have!
Thanks, Maggie! Yes, it did reshape many things including my outlook on life. And yes, my son is far wiser than I was at his age. I am so lucky to have him.
It sounds like the journey helped reshape your self. The Northwest will do that. What a wise son you must have.
What a terrific piece about both a physical and emotional journey. I love the structure you used, starting with the barista and then returning to his comment. It also makes me miss my home country!
Thank you, Amy! I did fall in love with Canada. I don’t know what impressed me more, the beautiful scenery or the lovely people. I do want to go again–maybe later in the spring when the weather is not quite so rainy! | 2019-04-25T22:19:02 | https://bohemianopus.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/finding-the-sun-in-vancouver/ |

The Timing Plate connects directly to a DIN socket at the back of TSA or ALBA.
The Timing Plate is intended to replace the trap door in the 'g' by free fall experiment. When the ball bearing hits the Timing Plate a pulse is produced which is detected by TSA or ALBA. The size of the Timing Plate is 20x20 cm and consequently it is difficult to miss it with a ball bearing.
The Timing Plate can be used very effectively with the Energy Track to study projectile motion. It enables pupils to study launch velocities, time of flight, theoretical range, actual range , energy conversions..

Excel provides four useful statistical functions for counting cells within a worksheet or list: COUNT, COUNTA, COUNTBLANK, and COUNTIF. Excel also provides two useful functions for counting permutations and combinations: PERMUT and COMBIN.
into cell G2. The function returns the value 9.
You can include several arguments as part of the range argument in the COUNT function. For example, you might also use the syntax =COUNT(B2,B3:B5,B6:B7,B8,B9), which would return the same result as the formula you see here.
into cell G4. The function returns the value 3.
into cell G6. The function returns the value 1.
where range is the worksheet range in which you count cells and criteria is a Boolean expression, enclosed in quotation marks, that describes your criteria.
This formula appears in cell G8 of the worksheet.
You can use other Boolean operators to construct other match criteria: Use the < operator for a less-than comparison, the <= operator for a less-than-or-equal-to comparison, the >= operator for a greater-than-or-equal-to comparison, the = operator for the equal-to comparison, and the <> operator for a not-equal-to comparison.
The function returns the value 120, indicating that 120 different ways exist in which three items can be selected from a set of six.
This function returns the value 20. The COMBIN function isn’t technically an Excel statistical function, by the way, but is closely related. | 2019-04-22T21:55:43 | https://www.dummies.com/software/microsoft-office/excel/how-to-use-statistical-functions-in-excel-to-count-items-in-a-data-set/ |

Journal Article Analysis: Connectivity and Work Dominance: Panacea or Pariah?
JournalismJournal Article Analysis: Connectivity and Work Dominance: Panacea or Pariah?
Work-connecting technologies (WCT) have significantly changed the face of work and still have a brilliant facilitative potential. Yet, WCT more than often aggravates such tendencies as working for longer hours especially in young professionals. This connectivity provides a constant availability to work and drives the expectations that more has to be done, which results to longer working hours thus diminishing the level of flexibility. It is thus very essential to look into what is needed in the derivation of the utmost gains in WCT. Stoner, Stephens and McGowan (2009) proposes four interrelated perspective which are essential viewpoints. Questions still remain; does WCT really influence the lives of young professionals and managers? What impact has WCT had in the working environment? Who are the main beneficiaries of this technology? This paper analyses the viewpoints-Cultural dynamics, organisational practises, leadership attitudes and actions, and personal choices as depicted in the journal article: Connectivity and Work Dominance: Panacea or Pariah?
Work-connecting technology offers a wide range of options concerning the location of work and when it's done.
The limits between work and different types of our lives have constantly been vague especially for the upward mobile professionals and managers. Currently, managers are not only working a whole lot more than previous generations, but also overshadowing their personal and family times with the work demands. Young professionals are predominantly susceptible to and in this case most affected by the complex interactions of work dominance (Stoner, Stephens, & McGowan, 2009). They increasingly serve as team leaders in first-line administrative positions with similar technical experts. At the same time, they usually have young families and hence constantly experience higher family obligations. | 2019-04-22T04:17:39 | https://www.oboolo.com/arts-media/journalism/case-study/journal-article-analysis-connectivity-dominance-panacea-pariah-86200.html |

I’ve been meaning to drop you a line since I got back.
We had a great holiday, weather was good, hotel was nice and the food was great. As for the wedding itself – it couldn’t have been better! We had a fantastic day! Everyone was really helpful and efficient but Mary in particular couldn’t have done more, she was brilliant and made sure everything went smoothly. My brother and his wife (who came in from Cervinia for the day) were amazed at how well Ski 2 looked after us.
The weather was stunning so the pictures have come out very well. What a beautiful location for a wedding! La Grange was great – delicious food (and so much of it!) and the guy serving us (the owner, I think, but I’m not sure) was lovely, really friendly and laid back. Everyone had a fabulous time.
Steve said it was all so perfect that it felt like we were in a movie. And he was right!
So thanks for all your help, Lucy, and thanks to all at Ski 2 in Champoluc, especially Mary who did such a fantastic job. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ski 2 to anyone planning a wedding. | 2019-04-23T06:11:21 | https://skiweddings.com/testimonial/mr-mrs-p-december-2004/ |
The Felix M18 business computers family was composed of three members, the M18, M18B and M118GS. They were designed and manufactured in Romania between 1975 and 1981, using the Intel 8080 processor.
The M18 series had a modular structure composed of master and slave modules, interconnected through a common bus. The MASTER-UCB module contained the 8080 microprocessor, an 8 KB EPROM memory, the 8224 clock circuit, the 8228 local bus command circuit and the 8259 interrupt circuit.
An example of slave module was the printer / card puncher-reader port, wich didn't access the system's bus.
The first M18 contained the URS-80.00 main unit and 4 cards (CPU, SYU, PF, EBUS) for EPROM and RAM memory, and the necessary interfaces to connect the following peripherals: console, paper tape reader/puncher, serial printer, punched cards reader, magnetic tape drive and magnetic casette drive.
The Felix M18B had improved modules. The main UCB unit had the memory resources and the interrupts system on a single card. The 32 KB RAM module also was on a single card.
3 - SFDX18, an enhanced version of the M18-ROS and M18-TOS wich contained a monitor (MON18 V1.3), the command interpretor, an I/O subsystem, a supervisor (editor, libraries, linker), and various languages: ASM80 macroassembler, PLM80, FORTRAN80, COBOL80, BASIC, PASCAL80.
The CP/M OS was adapted later, as well as a cross-software pack (M18-CSP) allowing software to be written and simulated on the Felix C-256 family before being transferred to a M18 system through punch cards or magnetic tapes.
The M18 series was manufactured in large series and also sold beyond Romania.
The Central Informatic research Institute of Romania (ICI) also wrote a succesful real-time OS for the M18, as well as an Ethernet-like local network called CAMELEON.
Thanks to Stefan Deli from Romania for information and pictures.

Safety is the number one priority for AGA, and all our products are manufactured under strict regulations and quality standards.
Carbon dioxide cylinders by AGA meet the standards and requirements for pressurised vessels. When handled correctly, the bottles are practically risk-free. Be aware, however, that carbon dioxide displaces oxygen in the air.
Protects the cylinder from unusual temperature rises. Avoid therefore placing carbonating machines near sources of heat! The safety valve will break if the pressure rises, preventing the cylinder from bursting. This will however allow the carbon dioxide to seep out.
Keep the plastic stopper in place when storing or transporting the cylinder. Carbon dioxide is not toxic, but it should be handled with respect. A leak of carbon dioxide in a small, poorly ventilated area can lead to suffocation. | 2019-04-21T15:04:37 | http://my.aga.com/carbon-dioxide/safety/ |

When planning for the future of a loved one with an intellectual and developmental disability, many parents and guardians think about establishing their own will and creating a special needs trust. However, planning for a loved one’s end of life isn’t often included in their plans.
This Special Needs Planning Workbook provided by The Menick-Friese Group is intended to help individuals with disabilities and their family members create an action plan that will guide them through the special needs planning process. It includes sections on the five major planning components of a good financial strategy: Lifestyle, Estate Planning, Portfolio Management, Family Protection, and Liability Management.
An Advance Health Care Directive, also called an Advance Directive, is a legal document stating how a person would like to be treated at the end of their life.
Proxy Directive (Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare) - who can advocate for your care when you may not be able to.
Instruction Directive (Living Will) - stating the types of medical treatments you do and do not want at the end of your life.
It is your decision whether to have either directives or just one of them.
If a person with I/DD has a legal guardian, then that person will make all health care decisions, including all end-of-life decisions. However, guardians should plan ahead and have a secondary plan in place in the event of their passing.
An Advanced Directive should be established.
life-prolonging interventions. This form becomes part of a patient's medical records, following the patient from one healthcare setting to another, including hospital, nursing home or hospice.
Assisted living - Assisted living is a good housing option if you are able to manage your own care but need occasional help. Assisted living facilities have doctors and nurses on staff at all times in case of an emergency, and also help with activities of daily living, such as cooking, cleaning, and managing medications.
In-home care - In-home care is a good housing option if you'd like to continue to live at home but need help with daily activities such as cooking, cleaning, toileting, bathing, dressing, eating, and managing medications. Most in-home care is non-medical, meaning those providing assistance are either professional caregivers or certified nursing assistants, rather than registered nurses or physicians. There are two main types of in-home care caregivers: (1) Home Care Aides - Home Care Aides are people who provide help with household duties. (2) Home Health Aides - Home Health Aides have received formal medical training and are usually certified nursing assistants. Home Health Aides may provide basic healthcare services.
Nursing home, or skilled nursing - A nursing home is a housing option for those who need a high level of medical care. In addition to help with activities of daily living, nursing homes also have doctors or nurses on the premises at all times to care for residents and in case of an emergency.
Hospice care - Hospice is an approach to end-of-life care that focuses on providing comfort and dignity to patients at the end of life. The goals of hospice are achieved through various efforts, including pain and symptom management, caring for the patient in the patient's home, and delivering care through a network of caregivers. Hospice is also very focused on the family of the patient, and offers emotional and psychological support to family members, both before and after the patient dies.
Palliative care - This is an approach to medical care that focuses on relieving pain, stress, and other symptoms of illness. It's available to all seriously ill patients, whether the diagnosis is terminal or not. Many patients receive palliative care in conjunction with other types of care, such as dialysis, chemotherapy, or surgery.
Both palliative care and hospice focus on alleviating pain and other symptoms a patient may be experiencing. However, Hospice is solely dedicated to helping patients who are in the final months of life. Palliative care, on the other hand, is an approach available to all patients with treatable or terminal illnesses, no matter where they are in the life cycle.
A Will is a legal document that states who will receive your property when you die, who will oversee your estate (paying taxes, distributing assets), and, if you have children under 18 and/or adult dependent children, who will raise and care for them. If you don’t create one, the courts will make these decisions for you.
Legal documents alone won’t ensure quality of life. A will and a special needs trust will provide direction on legal issues and financial issues. They will not provide your child’s future caregivers with the detailed knowledge about your child that only you have. Take the time to document your child’s history, preferences, wishes and needs, so that people caring and advocating for him or her in the future will have something to work from. Other important information to include are pictures, organizations that can help with advocacy, and contact information for extended family, friends and professionals (support coordinator, case managers).
When planning a funeral or memorial service, there are many aspects of the service that you can plan and personalize, from your final resting place to readings and songs to participants.
The State of New Jersey can help a family in need pay for a funeral through the Department of Human Services (DHS). Apply for "public assistance" funeral funds by calling your county board of social services in the county in which the deceased resided at the time of their death.
Death notices are paid announcements in a newspaper that give the name of the person who died and details of the funeral service, as well as where donations can be made. Obituaries are articles written by a newspaper’s staff offering a detailed biography of the person who died. | 2019-04-19T07:14:45 | https://www.thearcfamilyinstitute.org/resources/end-of-life-go-bag.html |
Interesting thought. I wasn’t planning to model things like that beyond maybe a parameter that quantifies a defendant’s willingness to risk jail. I think what you’re talking about would just fold into that parameter. However, if I modeled defendants individually and accounted for those who made multiple trips through the system, there might be a feedback effect, where imprisoning lots of people creates a population that is tolerant to being imprisoned… That might be interesting. | 2019-04-21T09:01:15 | https://windypundit.com/2019/02/model-justice-starting-over/ |
Eating Disorders and Food: Love or Lust?
Do you remember the last piece of cake you had and the feeling associated with it?
People obsess about food. They just do.
The month of love is upon us and with it National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (February 25 – March 3). I don’t know about you but I find this to be kind of ironic, which is why I’m focusing on self-love and eating disorders in this month’s Eat for Life Academy webinar.
On one hand, we are celebrating all things love, usually in the form of chocolate, champagne, pleasure, decadence, and enjoyment. On the other hand, we have eating disorders (ED’s) which are associated with fear, restriction, repulsion of self, and what I see as a lust for food.
There is a difference between love and lust.
Marriages that last are based on love.
Marriages that fail are usually because of lust.
I have had that lustful longing for food at times.
But loving food is different.
To cherish something requires patience and understanding, whereas longings (aka cravings) that go unrequited usually involve drastic measures (insert Lifetime stalker movie here). Such is the case with ED’s, which are a longing for perfection that can never be filled so the behavior required to reach said perfection becomes more and more drastic, which can be fatal.
I know all about this longing because it consumed 25 years of my life in the form of non-purging bulimia (a form of bulimia that uses fasting and intense exercise instead of vomiting).
Believe it or not, my issues with food began before grade school. I never fit in or felt good enough. I was a shy, insecure girl with glasses, hearing aids (I lost 50% of my hearing after a vaccine injury as a baby) and later, braces. I was so NOT cool. The popular kids bullied me incessantly and made of fun my differences. One time I got slapped across the face and lost one of my hearing aids in the playground sawdust (we had sawdust back then, LOL). Suffice it to say my parents were not happy. We didn’t have much money and my big, clunky, over-the-ear hearing aids were expensive.
So, turning to food for comfort seemed completely logical in my little 9-year-old brain.
It was a lust affair.
If this wasn’t bad enough, a spark that was soon to turn into a very big flame was brewing inside me, something I wouldn’t know or understand until much later in my life.
That is why I want everyone to take my free life assessment because there are so many things we can do to heal you from this trap!
Eating disorders and nutrient deficiencies go hand in hand. Many people think nutrient deficiencies are caused by the eating disorder, especially in the case of anorexia and bulimia, but that’s actually not true.
Like me, the women and young girls I work with have very strong genetic, epigenetic (how your genes perform over the course of your life), and environmental factors that all play a role in the development of anorexia, bulimia, and other forms of disordered eating such as Binge Eating disorder (BED) and orthorexia (an obsession with eating foods that one considers healthy).
So buckle up for this next paragraph.
I’m going to science the heck out of this.
Anorexia is specifically correlated with severe zinc deficiency and undermethylation, which I’ve written two books about here. Zinc is required for a healthy appetite, taste and smell, which is absent in anorexia. When food doesn’t taste good and there is no desire for it, eating becomes pointless. This starvation dieting can develop into anorexia when nutrient levels hit the danger zone and begin to compromise normal cognitive functioning. It’s not surprising that we have such a large adolescent population with eating disorders because it’s during these years that zinc is vital for the growth, development, and the hormonal changes necessary to thrive.
Binging and vomiting, two classic behaviors in many bulimics, trigger endorphins that release a feel-good sensation in the brain. This euphoric feeling is desired because they are fighting an underlying biochemical imbalance. Bulimics can have a wide range of combined biochemical imbalances. I often see overmethylation with low or high copper toxicity or undermethylation with copper and zinc imbalances. Another contributing factor is Pyrrole disorder, a stress disorder in which the body excretes large amounts of zinc and vitamin B6, nutrients that are critical for healthy neurotransmitter and cognitive function.
Environmental triggers include societal views on beauty and the constant pressure to be perfect and flawless, worthy of the latest Instagram post, which is common in individuals that struggle with OCD and the constant drive for perfection. I know all about this because I was born with the condition known as undermethylation.
This month I’ll be focusing on eating disorders in my Eat for Life Academy and I’d love to support you in learning how to eat for life, love your yourself, and finally be free! You can learn more about my EFL Academy here!
Do you know someone who is struggling with an eating disorder and needs help loving themselves? Then be HOPE for them by sharing this post. | 2019-04-23T06:06:35 | https://eatfor.life/eating-disorders-food-love-lust/ |

The NOOK tablet’s back has two important bits of business. The back panel of the NOOK Tablet is the source of sound and expanded memory.
Near the USB port is a small speaker. Don’t expect the sound quality (or volume) to rival your stereo system. The audio is good enough to hear system notification tones and — with a bit of effort — music or audio.
But if you plan to groove to some of your personal tunes, buy earbuds and plug them into the outlet at the top end. If you want to share the sound with someone, you can buy a splitter that allows two devices to plug into the same jack.
If you’re going to be listening to music or speech, it may help if you do not lay the tablet flat on its back; to get the best sound, the speaker should not be covered.
This tiny opening can accept a little sliver of electronic flash memory (called a microSD or microSDHC card) as large as 32GB. This card holds information that is in addition to your tablet’s built-in memory. And though 32GB is a whole lot of room, if you fill up one card, simply remove it and install a new card. | 2019-04-25T04:46:50 | https://www.dummies.com/consumer-electronics/tablets/nook-tablet/get-to-know-the-back-of-your-nook-tablet/ |

You’ll find tons of companies out there selling followers. Most of them are worthwhile and want to help, but this isn’t true of them all. Do not make the mistake of buying with the first name that comes up in your search. Some companies sell fake followers and buying them puts your IG account at risk. Other companies are expensive and sell their followers for far too much money. It is easy to research the options to find a worthwhile company that sells real followers that will help you get ahead. There have been thousands of people who’ve bought followers in the past. Those who’ve taken the time to research their options have been satisfied with the results and you can be as well.
Many people find a good company by asking around. Friends and others are usually good people to ask when you need information, so do not hesitate to ask for their recommendations. Plenty of online reviews posted by customs with firsthand experience working with the company can also help you learn if a company is worth your money and time. Use all of the information available to you to find a great followers company and enjoy all of the benefits that come with that purchase sooner instead of later. | 2019-04-22T13:05:01 | http://itsallitsalluptoyou.com/get-more-followers-on-instagram-with-a-purchase/ |

During the summer pre-law program, participants start the process of building the knowledge needed to be successful in a law school environment. Participants are introduced to law school pedagogy, structure of the legal system, and legal skills such as case briefing, legal writing and legal analysis. The summer pre-law program takes place in the month of July of every year.
In order to accommodate the needs of committed and incoming first year students, SULC offers two (2), two week sessions for students admitted to the full time day and part time day programs. Interested students in the full time day and part time day programs may choose to take part in either two week session. SULC, additionally, offers a three (3) week session for students admitted to the part time evening program.
Past participants have overwhelmingly stated that their participation in the summer pre law program enhanced their confidence and preparedness to enter law school. In addition to the above, past participants have found getting to know classmates, teaching assistants, professors and administration advantageous in their acclimation to the law school environment.
If you have any questions regarding the summer pre law program, please contact Marla Dickerson at (225) 771-4913 or [email protected]. | 2019-04-23T04:05:37 | http://sulc.edu/academic-support/summer-pre-law-program/ |
LAHORE: The Sahiwal Joint Investigation Team (JIT) is set to submit its report into the alleged police encounter that claimed lives of four including a minor, on February 20, sources reported.
Sources privy to the matter said, the JIT met today in Lahore, to review the so far probe made into the incident.
The meeting was chaired by Joint Investigation Team head Additional Inspector General (AIG) Syed Ijaz Hussain Shah.
“The JIT has completed its report and is due to submit it on 20th of this month,” the sources said.
According to the law, JITs are bound to present their report within a month, but in this case JIT head had borrowed time from the Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, to complete the interrogation.
The JIT was asked to submit its report within 3 days after the incident, but Shah asked for extra time as the matter was complicated and need time to file report.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Punjab government had assured heirs of Khalil, one of the victim of Sahiwal shootout, for the investigation report until February 14.
On the other hand, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) officials tried to deceive forensic scientists by altering evidences of the Sahiwal police encounter incident.
According to details, the CTD officials changed weapons and police mobile van for forensic test into the notorious police encounter case.
Sources said a police mobile van was riddled with bullets for using as an evidence. About hundred rounds were recovered from the site where this act was staged, they added. | 2019-04-24T07:08:55 | https://dailybusinessworld.com/2019/02/13/sahiwal-jit-to-submit-its-report-on-feb-20-sources/ |
While the poor dream of having riches, the wealthy long for simplicity.
If there’s one thing you can count on (besides death and taxes), it’s the desire to “get rich quick.” Why do you think lottery fever shows no sign of cooling off? Millions of people buy lottery tickets for no other reason than to instantly acquire unimaginable riches.
What a hopeless illusion! Nevermind that you have a greater chance of getting struck by lighting while standing on your head in a bowl of corn flakes than winning the lottery. Quick riches never did anyone any good. They certainly never brought anyone happiness.
We’ve never been rich, so how do we know that? Simple. We’ve never heard anyone say, “I’m rich, and I’m finally happy.” Instead, we’ve heard stuff like, “Wealth is a burden,” or “I wish my life were a lot simpler.” The truth is, wealth can do a lot (both good and bad), but it inevitably complicates your life. There’s nothing wrong with wealth (and neither is there any dishonor in proverty). What matters is your contentment with what you have.

Instagram is a veritable treasure trove of potential customers, so it’s no wonder why retail brands are flocking to the picture sharing site to market their goods. With millions of users, young and old (but mostly young), and a billion photos “liked” every day, you’d be mad not to take advantage of Instagram’s marketing potential. Here’s how you can take advantage of Instagram to market your ecommerce store.
First of all, you need to set up an account. Use your business’s name if you can, but if that’s already taken, use something that is instantly recognisable as your brand.
Next, you’ll want to connect your new Instagram account with your Facebook as the two are owned by the same company, and you can use them together – make an instagram tab on your Facebook page so you can share your Instagram snaps with your Facebook followers.
This might seem obvious, but the main reason you’re using Instagram is to showcase your products, so of course you’ll want to feature them. But remember, you should try to be creative with this – this is a site full of hip, young people who want to see cool pictures.
Say you’re selling on eBay and have a standard picture of a dress you sell. Well, on Instagram, a standard snap of a dress isn’t going to cut it – use filters, text overlays, and try showing your products in use as well: this gives context to your products and shows authenticity.
Better yet, get your customers to take pictures of your products – you can’t get more authentic than that.
Depending on your webstore – eBay, Shopify, Amazon etc – you could have access to Instagram-centric add ons. People who use Shopify, for example, can use Instagration, which is a tool integrating Instagram with your store, and to use your customers Instagram images of your products to increase engagement (this could work for a Shopify Amazon integration too).
Show your customers how much you appreciate them by liking and sharing their pictures – we all love it when a big brand responds to us; it makes us feel important and acknowledged, so do the same for your customers. You should also take the time to respond to their comments – engagement is key to an active and popular social media account (the clue is in the name: you need to be social!).
These are a major aspect of Instagram and are used to categorize posts and help users can find you through their mobile Instagram searches. Unlike the hashtags you use on Twitter, you’re not limited by character count with hashtagging on Instagram.
You should include a few tags to make sure your posts are well connected, but don’t use too many (you will seem desperate!). For example, if you’re a fashion retailer showcasing some sunglasses you could use #fashion, #sunglasses, #summer #sun. If you’re an Amazon seller, you can add the hashtag #Amazon.
You should also check out trending hashtags and use them in your posts to maximize your audience. Another idea is to create an Instagram hashtag contest. If you get enough interest, you could even end up trending yourself.
Do your research. Find influential Instagram users, follow them and engage with them. Celebrities and big brands are the obvious choice, but a great idea is to identify influential bloggers. These are people who often have hundreds (thousands, and even millions) of followers who trust their opinions.
Get one of these guys to feature one of your products and you’re in luck – you could tap into a huge base of potential customers. You could send them products and hope that they like them enough to review them, in which case the will most likely share their pictures on Instagram.
Humanize your brand by posting snaps of your employees having fun around the office. This will make you look like a cool, fun company – something which will appeal to the young user base of Instagram – and also put a face to brand. It’s nice to see the people behind the products and also shows your customers that they’re not dealing with a bunch of robots.
Try making your Instagram a little more exclusive than your other social media sites. Make some images unavailable on Facebook and Twitter so your customer shave to go to Instagram if they want to see your cool new products.
Find similar brands and see if you can strike a partnership with them. No matter how big or small your business is, you can always benefit from building relationships with other brands.
Engage with your partners, get them to share your content (and vice versa) and you could open yourself up to even more potential customers, especially if you choose a brand in the same industry as yourself (ideally with lots of followers).
A picture paints a thousand words, so don’t waste your post caption describing exactly what the picture shows – you want to use it to complete the picture. You want to use this space to drive traffic to your site, so instead of saying “Brown boots on sale at our store” say “Brown boots, now 10% off, get ‘em while you still can – go to Mystore.com and enter #insta123 as your voucher code”. Remember, the whole point of this is to drive traffic. | 2019-04-18T22:36:41 | https://www.veeqo.com/blog/how-to-market-your-ecommerce-store-on-instagram |
Highlight your next trade show exhibit with multiple banners to emphasize your company name and the products you represent.
If you have a Trade Show Venue coming up, think about using vinyl banners to help brand your business and educate trade show attendees with product information. Trade show banners can be used to hang custom signage on tables, to use as a booth backdrop for your next event, or display a hanging banner along the walls of your booth.
Use the booth walls of your exhibit to deliver strategic sign messages at your next trade show exhibit.
Use multiple large 4x8 vinyl banners as a backdrop behind your trade show exhibit to create awesome trade show backdrops. | 2019-04-22T10:19:41 | https://www.printastic.com/vinyl-banners/faq/trade-show-banners.html |

The recent trade-in price history of Galaxy S10 Plus SM-G975F DS generally shows an increase. In other words, the used prices of this device are getting higher as it is becoming more desirable. This normally happens if your device is reasonably old and may appeal to those on a tighter budget, or (more likely) people who are looking for parts. It may even be to strip down or re-sell in a third-world country - here's why. Remember: It is very unlikely that prices will keep on increasing for ANY used electricals.

A few days back, we covered a Windows Phone 7 Homebrew named Snotify. That app allowed users to silence the notifications on their WP7 device with a few toggle buttons. It doesn’t happen too often, but an iOS utility seems to have followed the Mango app’s example. The Cydia tweak is named DoNotDisturb, and is basically a Notification Center widget that includes a single toggle. If you switch DoNotDisturb on, all notifications on your device are immediately turned off. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to see notifications at all – they will still be there in the Notification Center – but all pop-ups and banners will be killed for as long as the tweak is activated. Sound like something you would want to use? Read on for details.
DoNotDisturb is not a typical NC widget, as it doesn’t add any glossy new feature to the Notification Center. There is just a button that can be used to silence the notifications. After the tweak has been installed on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you might have to manually respring the device. Once you have done that, go to the Notifications menu in the stock Settings app and enable DoNotDisturb. The tweak adds a menu of its own to the Settings app as well, but it contains nothing more than a few instructions for configuring DoNotDisturb.
Once the DoNotDisturb toggle appears in the Notification Center, just tap it, and you won’t get a notification alert until you turn the tweak back off. As discussed earlier, new notifications can be viewed from NC even when the tweak is working, but all alerts will be silenced, including text message banners, email notifications, alerts from third-party and stock apps and just about any other notification alert you can possibly think of. DoNotDisturb appears to be something that can be more useful as an SBSettings toggle, but as it is the only available option for now, the NC widget will have to do. So, if you want a few hours of peace without having to switch your phone off, head to the ModMyi repo of the Cydia store and grab DoNotDisturb for free.
Update: DoNotDisturb has become one of those Cydia tweaks that have been rendered obsolete by iOS 6. However, this tweak is the only one whose name has been borrowed by Apple. Still, for all users who have not upgraded to iOS 6 yet, the tweak can prove to be a really useful one. | 2019-04-22T22:33:10 | https://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/donotdisturb-turn-off-ios-alerts-banners-from-notification-center-cydia/ |
Aruna utilizes targeted therapeutic medical massage techniques including SRT, PNMT, TMJ and deep tissue massage that have been clinically shown to significantly reduce pain and promote healing from several complications of many disease conditions.
Spinal reflex therapy is the only procedure that addresses the most prevalent cause of nerve, muscle, skeletal pain and dysfunction: the Spondylogenic Reflex Syndrome (SRS). What is Spondylogenic Reflex Syndrome (SRS)? Imagine a hot summer day and your friend throws ice cold water on your back. Your back arches instantly, your head and arms push it away, and your body leaps into the air to move you away and protect you.
How Does Spondylogenic Reflex Syndrome (SRS) Affect Us?
What Will Spinal Reflex Therapy (SRT) do for You?
SRT provides a profound reduction in symptoms and improves health quickly and safely.
If you are experiencing: traumatic injury, back or neck pain, shoulder, knee or foot pain, muscle, joint, or nerve problems, or are looking for peak performance spinal reflex therapy is the solution you are looking for! SRT is effective in reducing acute, chronic pain, restoring balance and power, increasing range of motion, speeding injury and performance recovery, delaying certain surgeries, reducing stress, and improving overall health and fitness.
Who Can Benefit From SRT?
Age, history, and activity levels do not preclude you from the benefits of SRT procedures. SRT cannot cure disease, but has been clinically shown to significantly reduce pain and select complications of many disease conditions.
Fast relief! Move freely immediately, with ease, balance, and strength. Pain-free with SRT.
PNMT is an approach to soft tissue treatment that is based on problem-solving skills, skilled assessment, and precise treatment that gets results.
How is PNMT Different From General Relaxation Massage?
Precision neuromuscular therapy (PNMT) takes time, because the chosen areas of importance are treated extremely thoroughly and thoughtfully. That kind of precision takes time. General relaxation massage systematically addresses every body part equally. In PNMT, the whole session is organized around problem-solving your particular discomfort. In general relaxation massage the receiver is often totally passive and can drift into neverland if desired. With PNMT, the therapist will need your input and feedback to discover where the restrictions are hiding. Solving a problem that has been going on several months does not happen in one session. With PNMT, plan on three or four sessions to see a real difference.
What is Your PNMT Therapist Treating?
One of the most important sources of your pain could be trigger points, which are small injured areas inside a muscle that refer pain elsewhere. Locating and eliminating trigger points takes skill and patience, but results can be absolutely amazing. Trigger points are the subject of much current pain research. Trigger points in the small muscles of the base of the neck can be an overlooked source of headaches.
What Can You Expect in a PNMT Session?
At the beginning of your session, the therapist will sit down with you to discuss your pain, what makes it worse and what makes it better. What follows is a very thorough examination and investigation into possible muscular causes for your pain. Your feedback is crucial, so expect to let the therapist know what areas seem important. Our job is to narrow the field of problem muscles, yours is to verify accuracy.
Aruna has taken all five classes of precision neuromuscular therapy consisting of 95 contact hours, complete with the research work about the spinal range of motion.
Utilizing precision neuromuscular therapy to treat the muscles of the jaw helps individuals enjoy biting through an apple, carrots or bagel and enjoying the taste without any pain. Individuals with TMJ dysfunction, experience inability to open their mouth to their complete potential, pain around joints, ringing in ears and headache due to pain around jaw muscles.
What Does TMJ Dysfunction Look Like?
Are you an individual who clenches your teeth at night and wakes up the next morning with sore muscles in your mouth?
Do you clench your teeth when you are in stress and then experience a headache due to the tight muscles?
Have had any dental work done where your mouth was kept open for an extended period of time (which might aggravate the muscles in your jaw)?
Do you feel like your TMJ joint locks and have difficulty opening or closing your jaw completely?
Do you have difficulty chewing or pain while chewing carrots, bagels or bite through a whole apple?
Do you hear your jaw click and have limited movement associated with jaw clicking?
Do you experience headaches around your temple muscles due to clenching of jaw?
What Will the Massage Around TMJ do for You?
Massage around the jaw muscles will help improve the range of motion of joints so you can bite through your favorite foods and enjoy eating without experiencing pain, reduced stress on the jaw muscles, relief from the chronic or acute pain around jaw muscles, relief from headaches caused by the jaw muscles.
Who Will Benefit From Precision Neuromuscular Therapy?
Massage is usually scheduled in half-hour increments so muscles are not overwhelmed or overstressed. Aruna is certified to work (with gloves on) inside the mouth to help relieve those tight muscles so you are able to open your jaw better than before painlessly. It has been clinically shown to reduce the headaches and soreness of jaw muscles. Please be sure to get a prescription or a script from your dentist so we can help you in your healing process.
Is deep tissue massage good for everyone and anyone? The answer is no. The reason being, not all of our bodies are built the same way.
Every individual’s needs are different, based on if the individual who is seeking a therapist for massage has undergone surgery or has chronic pain in neck, feet, back, low back, headaches or has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis or fibromyalgia or if they just want to relax because they had a stressful day.
If a client approaches us for our services, our intake process will include questions about their health history, surgeries they have had, injuries they had a few years ago, a few months ago and a few days ago.
If the client has had surgery where lymph nodes were removed and they are seeking our service to reduce the swelling in extremities (arms and legs) or remove the toxins from the body, then we would NOT suggest Deep tissue massage for that individual. Lymphatic drainage massage would be ideal for that client. Lymphatic massage is recommended by the surgeons for individuals who have undergone Liposuction surgery.
If the individual has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, then deep tissue is NOT what we would recommend to that person.
If an individual’s doctor referred the patient to us for TMJ massage, since that person is experiencing pain around the jaw or have restricted range of motion around the joint, Again, we would NOT recommend Deep tissue massage for that individual. Doctor’s recommend and refer their patient to us for myofascial release massage in that situation.
If an individual is recovering after a knee or hip replacement surgery, then doctors usually want their patient to go through rehab exercises with a physical therapist (PT). Now a massage therapist can help that individual as well after PT or before a PT appointment. Deep tissue massage might NOT be a good idea in this situation as well. Precision neuromuscular therapy and or spinal reflex therapy is what we would utilize depending on the Individual’s situation.
When a pregnant woman is seeking a massage therapist, based on the woman’s health history and talking to the client, there might be certain areas in the body where deep tissue massage can be implemented. For the most part though we would recommend prenatal pregnancy massage.
If an individual wants to relax after a stressful day, then that person might be a good candidate for a deep tissue massage. Please feel free to inform your massage therapist if the pressure the therapist applies is comfortable or not.
Good communication is pertinent for a client to benefit and for the therapist to be successful. | 2019-04-22T07:59:40 | https://www.therapeuticmedicalmassage.com/massage/pain-relief |
